【原文】

改革开放以来,中国的投资环境发生了翻天覆地的变化。20世纪80年代早期,中国限制外资投资出口导向型企业(export-oriented corporation),要求外资跟中国公司建立合资关系。自20世纪90年代早期开始,中国允许外资在国内市场生产并销售各种商品,还允许建立外资独资公司(foreign-owned enterprise)。今天,中国作为世贸组织的一员,改革开放依然是中国发展的核心。目前,外商投资企业的产品约占中国出口产品总数的一半,中国仍然在大量引进外资。

【解析】

1.中国限制外资投资出口导向型企业,要求外资跟中国公司建立合资关系:“限制”可译为restrict; “出口导向型”可用一个复合词export-oriented来表示,“建立合资关系”可用set up joint-venture partnerships来表达。

2.国内市场:可译为the domestic market。

3.还允许建立外资独资公司:“允许”即“授权”,可译为authorize;“建立”可用establishment表示;“外资独资公司”可译为 foreign-owned enterprises。

【参考答案】

China’s investment climate has changed dramatically since the reform and opening up. In the early 1980s, China restricted foreign capital to invest in the export-oriented corporation and required foreign investors to set up the joint-venture partnerships with Chinese firms. Since the early 1990s,China has allowed foreign investors to manufacture and sell a wide range of goods on the domestic market.The establishment of foreign-owned enterprises were also authorized. Today,as a member of the World Trade Organization, the reform and opening up remains central to China’s development. Currently, products of foreign-invested enterprises account for about half of China’s exports, and China continues to attract large investment.

【原文】

有些国家为了处理他们与中国的贸易,建立了专门的机构。CCBC是加中贸易理事会,该机构协助处理两国间的贸易项目。另外一个有此功能的机构是英中贸易协会(the China-Britain Business Council)。该机构设立的目的是协助中英两国间的贸易。同时,中国也帮助国内的年轻人在商业上抢占先机。中国青年创业国际计划旨在帮助年轻人进行创业。另外,中国还发行了一些商业杂志,来帮助中国人跟进国际商业领域的新发展。

【解析】

3.跟进国际商业领域的新发展:“跟进”可用keep track of表达,“国际商业领域”可翻译为international commercial areas。

【参考答案】

Some countries have special organizations set up for dealing with their business with China. CCBC is the Canada China Business Council which helps with the trade between the two countries.Another organization of the same function is the China-Britain Business Council. This organization has been established to facilitate the trade between the UK and China. At the same time, China serves for the young people to grab the favorable business opportunities. Youth Business China aims at helping young people to start a business. China also publishes several business magazines to help the Chinese people to keep track of the development in the international commercial areas.

每年4月4日到6日左右的清明节是传统的扫墓的日子。在这一天,人们祭悼去世的亲人,到先人的坟头上扫墓。唐朝著名诗人杜牧有一首著名的诗,描述了四月初令人伤感的一幕场景:“清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂。”与清明节扫墓的悲哀相反,人们在这个日子怀揣着春的希望。清明时节,阳光明媚,树木和小草吐绿,大自然生机盎然。从古代起,人们就去春游。清明时节,游客遍地。如今,清明节是中国大陆的法定假日。

【原文】

随着中国经济迅速发展到新的高度,中国目前已经进入了大规模消费时代,中国民众的购买力随着中国市场经济的发展而迅速增长。因此,那些追求物质生活的人们只要有购买力,就不可避免地会购买奢侈品。一项报告显示,中国的奢侈品消费总额占全球市场份额的四分之一,且位居世界第二,仅次于日本。然而,从消费观念方面来讲,很多中国的消费者还处在“炫耀性消费”的阶段,这是一种不健康的状态。奢侈品不应该是炫耀的手段,或者是与权力、财富和社会关系相关的标志。

【翻译词汇】

大规模消费时代 an era of mass consumption追求物质生活 pursue material life

购买力 purchasing power奢侈品 luxury占 account for市场份额 market share从…来讲 in regard to

炫耀性消费 conspicuous consumption炫耀 show off与…相关 be associated with社会关系 social tie

【参考译文】

As China has achieved new heights in its economy and recently entered an era of mass consumption, the purchasing power of Chinese people is rising along with the development of market economy. Therefore, it is inevitable that people who pursue material life buy luxuries as long as they can afford. According to a report, the total consumption of luxuries in China accounted for a quarter of the global market share and ranked second in the world after Japan. However, in regard to consumption concept, a large number of Chinese consumers are still in the stage of “conspicuous consumption”, which is unhealthy. Luxuries should not be the tools of showing off or signs associated with power, wealth and social ties.

中国是世界上最大的发展中国家,人口约占世界总人口的22%。在过去相当长的时期里,由于诸多原因, 贫困一直困扰着中国。20世纪80年代中期,中国农村绝大多数地区凭借自身的发展优势,经济得到快速增长, 但少数地区由于经济、社会、历史、自然等方面的制约,发展相对滞后。中国政府在致力于经济和社会全面发 展的进程中,在全国范围内实施了以解决贫困人口温饱问题为主要目标的有计划、有组织的大规模扶贫开 发,极大地缓解了贫困现象。

【参考答案】

China is the largest developing country in the world and its population accounts for about 22 percent of the world’s total. For a long period of its history, China has been plagued by poverty for various reasons. In the mid-1980s, the economy of an overwhelming majority of the rural areas in China grew dramatically by virtue of their own advantages, but a small number of areas still lagged behind because of the constraints of their economic, social, historical, and natural conditions. The Chinese government, while working on all-round economic and social development, has nationwide implemented a large-scale program for development-oriented poverty relief in a planned and organized way. With the main objective of helping poverty-stricken people solve the food and clothing problems, this program has gone a long way toward alleviating poverty.

【难点分析】

1.发展中国家:英语中对应的表达为developing country,该句结构简单,直译即可。

2.人口约占世界总人口的„„:此句紧接上文,和前面一个分句共享一个主语China,为了指代清楚并且避免重复,此处的“人口”可译为its population。表达“(数量、比例上)占”有一个常用的词组account for。 “世界总人 口”如果直译的话是the world’s total population或者the total population of the world,但是由于该分句的主语中已经出现了一次population,故此处可将total活用作名词,意为“总数”。

3.在过去相当长的时期里:该分句如果直译的话可译为for a long time in the past,但是根据语境,此处“相当长的时期”指的是“中国历史中的一个很长的时期”,又由于该分句所在句的主语随后紧接着出现,因而可以意译为for a long period of its history。

4.由于诸多原因:此处较为简单,可以有多种译法。“由于”可以用because of, due to, out of来表达,也可以用一个简洁的单词for。“诸多”的表达方式也有很多,如many, various, a lot of, lots of等。因而该分句可简洁地译为for various reasons。

5.贫困一直困扰着„„:表达“被贫困所困扰”较为常用的译法是be plagued by,由于此处表达的是过去已经发生并且其影响持续到现在的一种状态,因而注意时态要采用现在完成时。此处可译为„has been lagued by poverty。

6. 20世纪80年代中期„„发展相对滞后:该句较长,翻译时要注意平衡句子的结构。“经济发展较快”中的: ;“经济”指的是“中国农村绝大多数地区的经济”,在翻译时可以照此调整一下句子的语序。“滞后”常用lag behind 来表达。

7.中国政府在致力于„„缓解了贫困现象:该句内容较多,翻译时可以根据语义将该长句拆分成两个独立的句子,即:“中国政府在致力于经济和社会全面发展的进程中,在全国范围内实施了有计划、有组织的大规模扶贫开发。扶贫开发以解决贫困人口的溫饱问题为主要目标,极大地缓解了贫困现象。” “致力于”可以用短语work on来表达。“扶贫开发”实际上是一个项目,因而可灵活译为a program for development-oriented poverty relief。

【原文】

北京有无数的胡同(hutong)。平民百姓在胡同里的生活给古都北京带来了无穷的魅力。北京的胡同不仅仅 是平民百姓的生活环境,而且还是一门建筑艺术。通常,胡同内有一个大杂院,房间够4到10个家庭的差不多20 口人住。所以,胡同里的生活充满了友善和人情味。如今,随着社会和经济的飞速发展,很多胡同被新的高楼大 厦所取代。但愿胡同可以保留下来。

【参考答案】

In Beijing, there are numerous hutongs. The life of common people in hutongs brings endless charm to the ancient capital, Beijing. The hutong in Beijing is not only the living environment of common people but also a kind of architecture. Usually, there is a courtyard complex inside hutong, with rooms shared by 4 to 10 families of about 20 people. Therefore, life in hutongs is full of friendliness and genuine humanity. Nowadays, with rapid social and economic development, many hutongs are replaced by new tall buildings. I hope hutongs can be preserved.

【难点分析】

1.带来了无穷的魅力:翻译为bring endless charm to。

2.汉语习惯于用并列的散句或短语来表达一个语境,而英文习惯上用整句表述,句内不太重要的信息会用介词短语或从句来补充说明,如本段中“胡同内有一个大杂院,房间够4到10个家庭的差不多20口人住”是 : 两个并列关系的汉语短句,翻译成英文时可将第二句用with介词结构表达出来,起补充说明的作用。

3.充满友善和人情味:翻译为full of friendliness and genuine humanity。

4.随着社会和经济的飞速发展:翻译为with rapid social and economic development,也是with介词短语的应 用,在句中作伴随状语。

【原文】

要了解中国文化,就应该对中国的戏曲文化有所了解。中国地方戏种类很多,其中京剧是一个具有代表 性的剧种。作为一个独立的剧种,京剧的诞生大约是在1840年至I860年。京剧是在吸收其他地方戏营养的基础 上形成的。京剧有明确的角色分工;在念白上用北京方言;在音乐上以胡琴为主要伴奏乐器。由于京剧是在融 合各种地方戏之精华的基础上形成的,所以它不仅为北京的观众所钟爱,也受到全国人民的喜爱。

【参考译文】

To understand the Chinese culture, you have to know something about the Chinese opera culture. In China, there are many kinds of local operas, among which Peking Opera is a representative one. As an independent opera form, Peking Opera was approximately born between 1840 and I860. Peking opera originated from absorbing the essentials of other local operas. In Peking Opera there is a clear division of roles; the spoken parts are in Beijing dialect; and huqin, is the main accompaniment instrument. Since Peking Opera has combined the cream of various local operas, it is enjoyed not only by Beijing audience, but also by people all over the country.

【难点解析】

1.要了解中国文化,就应该对中国的戏曲文化有所了解:该句没有给出明确的主语,因而在翻译时要注意:增译主语you。“中国的戏曲文化”可译为the Chinese opera culture。

2.中国地方戏种类很多,其中京剧是一个具有代表性的剧种:该句在翻译时可以采用非限定性定语从句结构。该句可译为:In China, there are many kinds of local operas, among which Peking Opera is a representative one.注意此处为了避免在前后分句中重复使用名词opera而在后半句中使用了名词性替代词 one。

3.京剧是在吸收其他地方戏营养的基础上形成的:“在„„的基础上形成”如果直接译为be formed on the I basis of...会稍显生硬,因而可以灵活译为originate from...。“地方戏”可以直译为local opera。

4.念白:“念白”指的是中国戏曲中人物的独白或者两者的对话,因而此处在翻译时可将其灵活译为the I spoken parts。

5.胡琴:这一特有名词在英文中并没有直接对应的词汇或表达,因而可以采用汉语拼音表示。

6.它不仅为北京的观众所钟爱,也受到全国人民的喜爱:“不仅 也 ”常用not only„but also„来表达。此处句中的“钟爱”和“喜爱”同义,在翻译后半部分内容时可以将与前半部分重复的内容省略,故该部分内容可译为:it is enjoyed not only by Beijing audience, but also by people all over the country。

中国的官方语言普通话在美国的学校中突然热起来。由于中国经济在21世纪的快速发展,美国的公立和私立学校纷纷在外语课程中加入汉语这一科目,或将已有的汉语教学项目进行扩展。据统计,在美国的学校中,有5万名孩子在学习汉语。但推动汉语项目的发展不是没有遇到困难。由于缺乏受过专业训练、持有证书的教师,一些学校很难加入汉语教学的竞争。当学校聘用教师时,它们通常直接从中国招聘,这种方式为文化冲突埋下了隐患。

【翻译词汇】 

官方语言 official language普通话 Mandarin快速的 rapid

课程 curriculum (pl.curricula)已有的 in place缺乏 shortage

受过专业训练 professionally trained证书 certificate招聘 recruit文化冲突 culture clash

【参考答案】 

Mandarin, the official language of China, is suddenly hot in American schools. With the rapid development of China’s economy in the 21th century, both public and private schools in America are scrambling to add Mandarin to their curricula of foreign languages or expanding Chinese language programs already in place. By some estimates, as many as 50 000 children nationwide are taking Mandarin in American schools. To develop Chinese-language programs has met some difficulties. A shortage of professionally trained teachers with certificates has made it difficult for some schools to join the competition. When schools need to employ teachers, they often recruit them from China directly, which is a hidden trouble for culture clash.

【难点精析】

1.不可分割的一部分:可译为an integral part。

2.为振兴华夏做出了巨大的贲献:可译为has made great contributions to the prosperity of China,其中“华夏”: 即“中国”或“中华”,可直接译为China; “振兴”此处翻译成了名词形式prosperity,还可译为revitalization;“做出了 巨大的贡献”可译为 has made great contributions。

【原文】

中国通过了第一部物权法,下令对北京的几百座四合院进行保护。然而,批评家们指出,所谓“保存”常常只是拆掉老房子,然后依照传统样式盖一座新的来代替。马岩松曾经说过:“现在的做法就是在假造古董,这不好。胡同吸引了很多旅游者,但这里贫困的老住户要么就像主题公园里的演员,要么就被踢出去,以便富人们可以购买这些房子。老北京的精神正在消亡。”

【翻译词汇】

物权法 property law四合院 courtyard拆掉 knock down代替 replace

假古董 fake antique踢出去 kick out消亡 die away

【参考答案】

China has passed the first property law, ordering to protect Beijing’s hundreds of courtyards. But critics say, so-called “conservation” just means knocking down an old building and replacing it with a structure in a traditional style. For this, Ma Yansongs opinion is “The way is just to build fake antiques, it is not nice. These hutongs attract many tourists. The poor, old residents are either like actors in a theme park or they are kicked out so that the rich can buy these houses. The spirits of old Beijing are now dying away.”

中欧经济贸易合作取得了可喜的成果。欧盟巳经成为中国的重要经贸伙伴,是中国最大的技术供应方、 第三大贸易伙伴和第五大实际投资方。2001年,中欧贸易达到766亿美元,比上一年增长11%,尤其是中国从 欧盟的进口增长了 15.8%。我非常赞赏欧中贸协(Europe-China Business Association)与比中经贸理事会 (Belgium-Chinese Economic and Commercial Council)为发展中欧关系所做出的努力。中欧经济贸易合作具有广 阔的前景。中欧经济具有很强的互补性,在贸易、投资、科技等领域具有很大的合作潜力。

I highly appreciate the efforts by the Europe-China Business Association and the Belgium-Chinese Economic and Commercial Council for developing China-EU ties. China-EU trade and economic cooperation is endowed with a promising future. The two economies are strongly complimentary to each other and hence enjoy huge potential for cooperation in trade, investment, science and technology areas.

【难点精析】

1.中欧经济贸易合作取得了可喜的成果:EU=European Union,表示欧盟;“取得了”可译为has got,但稍显生硬,yield fruit意为“结果,取得成果”,用在此处更为恰当;“可喜的”可译为heartening,还可译为^ promising。

2.第三大贸易伙伴和第五大实际投资方:“最大”用thelargest来表示,“第几大”则可译为the+序数词+largest,因此此处“第三大”译为thethirdlargest; “第五大”译为the fi他largest。“贸易伙伴”译为tradingpartner; “实际投资方”译为actual investor。

3. 766亿美元:应译为76.6 billion dollars。billion意为“10亿”,而不是“1 亿”。

4.增长了15.8%:可译为grew by 15.8%,还可译为increased by 15.8%。increase的反义词为decrease,二者用 法相同,后接具体的百分比时,要与介词by连用。

5.发展中欧关系:“关系”还可译为relationship,但tie表示的“关系”比relationship的情感色彩更强烈一些, ; 意为“紧密关系”,此处原文中虽没有提及“紧密”,但很显然是要发展中欧的紧密关系,故译成tie更贴合文意。

6.具有很强的互补性:可译为are strongly complimentary to each other, complimentary意为“互补的”。

7.具有很大的合作潜力:“具有”此处译为enjoy显得生动,带有较强的感情色彩。potential后应与介词for 搭配。
