黃山位于安徽省南部。它風(fēng)景獨(dú)特,尤以其日出和云海著稱(chēng)。要欣賞大山的宏偉壯麗,通常得向上看。但要欣賞黃山美景,就得向下看。黃山的濕潤(rùn)氣候有利于茶樹(shù)生長(zhǎng),是中國(guó)主要產(chǎn)茶地之一。這里還有許多溫泉,其泉水有助于防治皮膚病。黃山是中國(guó)主要旅游目的地之一,也是攝影和傳統(tǒng)國(guó)畫(huà)最受歡迎的主題。
解析:
這段話(huà)可以分為七個(gè)句子。
【第一句】黃山位于安徽省南部。
這句話(huà)的重點(diǎn)在于“位于”二字,當(dāng)然用be in這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu)也沒(méi)有問(wèn)題,但是如果能用be located in或者be situated in會(huì)更準(zhǔn)確。黃山,可以直接翻譯成Mount Huang,也可以翻譯成the Huang Mountain.
這句話(huà)可以翻譯為:
Mount Huang is in southern Anhui province.
更高級(jí)的翻譯是:
The Huang Mountain is located in the south of Anhui Province.
【第二句】它風(fēng)景獨(dú)特,尤以其日出和云海著稱(chēng)。
“日出”和“云海”,雖然看似復(fù)雜但是都可以用直白的名詞或者詞組來(lái)表示,sunrise和the sea of clouds。著稱(chēng),需要用到這個(gè)詞組:be famous for,或者be well known for。另外,從句型上來(lái)說(shuō),基礎(chǔ)的翻譯方法可以把“風(fēng)景獨(dú)特”和“以日出和云海著稱(chēng)”作為并列關(guān)系處理,也可以把“風(fēng)景獨(dú)特”作為一個(gè)小短語(yǔ)放在句首。
這句話(huà)可以翻譯為:
It has a unique scenery and it is especially famous for its sunrise and sea of clouds.
更高級(jí)的翻譯是:
With unique sceneries, it is particularly famous for sunrise and the sea of clouds.
【第三句】要欣賞大山的宏偉壯麗,通常得向上看。
“宏偉壯麗”,最準(zhǔn)確的翻譯之一就是用magnificence,但是如果這個(gè)相對(duì)復(fù)雜的單詞反應(yīng)不上來(lái)的話(huà)也能用greatness替代。這里的“向上看”,可以用look up,但是用upwards更能表示“方向”的意味。
這句話(huà)可以翻譯為:
To enjoy the greatness of a mountain, usually you need to look upwards.
更高級(jí)的翻譯是:
To enjoy the magnificence of a mountain, you have to look upwards in most cases.
【第四句】但要欣賞黃山美景,就得向下看。
這一句的結(jié)構(gòu)和上一句類(lèi)似,向下看,是look downwards。
這句話(huà)可以翻譯為:
But to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Huang, you need to look downwards.
更高級(jí)的翻譯是:
To enjoy the beauty of Mount Huangshan, however, you have to look downwards.
【第五句】黃山的濕潤(rùn)氣候有利于茶樹(shù)生長(zhǎng),是中國(guó)主要產(chǎn)茶地之一。
“濕潤(rùn)”,用wet來(lái)翻譯當(dāng)然也沒(méi)毛病,但是用humid更準(zhǔn)確。“有利于”,可以用最基礎(chǔ)的good,更高級(jí)的詞匯可以用beneficial
這句話(huà)可以翻譯為:
The humid climate in Mount Huang is good for growing tea trees. It is one of the main growing areas of tea in China.
更高級(jí)的翻譯是:
With the humid climate, which is beneficial to the growth of tea trees, Mount Huangshan is one of the main places of production of tea in China.
【第六句】這里還有許多溫泉,其泉水有助于防治皮膚病。
這里的“溫泉”和“皮膚病”這兩個(gè)專(zhuān)有名詞是需要一定的詞匯量積累的。溫泉,是hot springs;皮膚病,它的學(xué)術(shù)專(zhuān)用詞是dermatitis,很顯然這是一個(gè)超綱詞,但是在考試中翻譯成skin diseases就可以基本保證不會(huì)扣分。
這句話(huà)可以翻譯為:
There are also many hot springs which help prevent skin illness.
更高級(jí)的翻譯是:
There are also a great many hot springs, whose water helps with the prevention and treatment of skin diseases.
【第七句】黃山是中國(guó)主要旅游目的地之一,也是攝影和傳統(tǒng)國(guó)畫(huà)最受歡迎的主題。
這個(gè)句子在語(yǔ)法上的考察點(diǎn)在于“之一”的翻譯,要在one of后面用復(fù)數(shù)形式。旅游目的地,可以處理成tourist destination或者destination for tourists。
這句話(huà)可以翻譯為:
Mount Huang is one of the main tourist destinations in China. It is also the most popular theme for photography and traditional Chinese painting.
更高級(jí)的翻譯是:
Being one of the major destinations for tourists in China, Mount Huangshan is also a popular topic for photography and traditional Chinese paintings.
