答案解析:

1. You will be shown our new workshop.

簡評:如果這句話不是劃線填內(nèi)容,你完全可以將它翻譯成The secretary will show you our new workshop。正是因為題型是補全句子,這就給翻譯帶來了一定的難度,你必須去適應(yīng)題型要求而不是讓題型來適應(yīng)你。讓我們看看譯文已給出部分:by the secretary顯然是一個被動語態(tài)特征,“秘書”在譯文里已經(jīng)由原來的主語變成了譯文句子的補足成分。所以,題目是暗示我們要把原句中“你們”轉(zhuǎn)換成譯句里的主語,這樣才符合出題要求。

2. are expected to organize the trade publicity campaigns.

簡評:根據(jù)題目可推知全句意思是:我們期望你能組織這次的貿(mào)易推廣活動。中文句子主語、謂語、賓語分別是:我們、期望、你。但是在英文譯文的給出部分中我們看到句子以you開頭,也就是說“你被期望能組織這次貿(mào)易推廣活動”。中文的賓語變成了英文的主語,這就要求我們在翻譯時要使用被動語態(tài)。全句完整答案是:You are expected to organize the trade publicity campaigns this time.

當漢語句以“我們”、“人們”、“大家”等泛指性代詞作主語時,在翻譯成英文的時候常??梢院雎灾髡Z不譯,并把英文譯句處理成被動語態(tài)。處理后的英文譯句往往帶有 know,see,find,say,suppose,estimate,report,suggest,stress,consider, expect,admit,point,understand 等動詞。

3. If one or more electrons are removed, the atom is said/believed/thought to be positively charged.

簡評:這句話是一個條件從句。即:在原子失去一個或多個電子的情況下,這個電子帶正電荷?!拔覀兙驼f這個原子帶正電荷”可理解為“這個原子被認為/ 被確信/ 被說成是帶正電荷”。那么根據(jù)前面所說的原則,我們在翻譯時可以將泛指性主語“我們”省略不譯,并使用被動語態(tài)。

從這個例子里我們還可以看出,在科技文章中,根據(jù)英語表達習慣我們應(yīng)當多采用被動語態(tài),以強調(diào)事物的客觀性。

4. All kinds of measures are taken to prevent?corrosion.

簡評:這句話可以按原文譯成主動態(tài),即:People have taken all kinds of measures to prevent corrosion。也可以用被動語態(tài)來翻譯——All kinds of measures are taken to prevent corrosion。兩者比較而言,被動態(tài)譯文更突出表明所有、種種措施已經(jīng)付諸實施,all kinds of measures得到強調(diào),而主動態(tài)譯法只是平鋪直敘,重點不突出。

5.?The area is known to be rich in natural resources.

漢語句子中有“據(jù)說”、“據(jù)了解”、“據(jù)報道”、“據(jù)估計”、“據(jù)傳言”等詞語時,可以酌情譯成相應(yīng)的英語被動句,如:It is supposed that(據(jù)推測……),It is said that(據(jù)說……),It is estimated that(據(jù)估計……),It is calculated that(預計……),It is reported that(據(jù)報道……),It is suggested that(有人建議),It is stressed that(有人強調(diào)……),It is thought that(有人認為……),It is considered that(有人認為……),It is expected that(據(jù)期望……),It is well known that(眾所周知……),It must be admitted that(必須承認……),It must be pointed out that(必須指出……),It is understood that(誰都知道……),It may be safety said that(可以有把握地說……)等。

6. not so much a scholar

解析:本句意為:與其說他是個學者不如說是個作家??疾榈氖?與其......倒不如......"的句型。句中所給部分已有as,所以最好用 not so much...as...。如:In many cases,nursing is not so much a job as a way of life.(在許多情況下,護理與其說是是一件工作倒不如說是一種生活方式。)

7. to make their own choices

解析:考查目的狀語"以便"的英文表達,正確答案可以是:in order to/to/so as to+動詞,也可以用in order/so+that從句。具體要根據(jù)字數(shù)要求定。

8. make up their minds

解析:本句意為:許多大一新生打定主意要在本科畢業(yè)后繼續(xù)爭取碩士學位。"打定主意、決定下來"可選用:make up one's mind to do,be determined to do,decide to do。題中pursue表示堅持不懈地追求,如:She pursued the study of English for five years.(她持續(xù)不斷地學了五年英語。)

9. to participate in social practice

解析:本句意為:對學生而言,有必要深入社會實踐,從而學到課堂上學不到的東西。"深入"事實上是指學生要參與社會實踐,因此確切譯法是to participate,"社會實踐"可譯成social practice或social activity。

10. has implemented a series of reforms

解析:本句意為“為了提高國有企業(yè)的競爭力,政府已經(jīng)實行了一系列改革,其中一項是裁員?!边@里大家要記住"國有企業(yè)"的表達,而"外資企業(yè)"應(yīng)譯為 oversea-funded enterprise或foreign-based company。"實行"可選用implement,carry out,由于是"一系列"改革,因此reform要用復數(shù)形式。另外"已經(jīng)"暗示句子應(yīng)該用完成時態(tài)。
