英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯練習(xí)：空氣污染

由于中國(guó)北方重度霧霾(heavy smog)持續(xù)不散，公眾越發(fā)關(guān)注空氣污染問(wèn)題。一些網(wǎng)民(netizen)甚至對(duì)污染的程度表達(dá)了憤怒情緒。治理空氣污染迫在眉睫。中國(guó)多個(gè)城市實(shí)行汽車限購(gòu)，希望此舉一方面能緩解交通擁堵，一方面能控制空氣污染。中國(guó)政府準(zhǔn)備推出一個(gè)長(zhǎng)期計(jì)劃來(lái)控制導(dǎo)致嚴(yán)重污染的行業(yè)。政府也將額外支出60億元人民幣來(lái)改善北方地區(qū)的空氣質(zhì)量。

Since heavy smog stays continually in northern China, the public is increasingly concernedabout air pollution, Some netizens even express their anger over the pollution levels. It'sextremely urgent to control air pollution. Many Chinese cities have imposed limits on carpurchases, hoping to case the traffic jam, and meanwhile control air pollution. The Chinesegovernment is launching a long-term plan to control industries which cause heavy pollution. Itis also spending an additional five billion yuan on the improvement of air quality in thenorthern region.

1.在第1句中，“公眾”表達(dá)為the public，做主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單、復(fù)數(shù)都可以;作為一個(gè)整體，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù);強(qiáng)調(diào)每一個(gè)具體成員，謂講動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)。“由于中國(guó)北方……”表原因，故處理成愿意狀語(yǔ)從句，譯作Since heavy smog stays continually in northern China, 地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)“中國(guó)北方”置于句末。

2.第8句中的“……迫在眉睫”套用句it is extremely urgent to do...來(lái)表達(dá)。主語(yǔ)“治理空氣污染”用不定式來(lái)表達(dá)目的，譯作to control air pollution。

3.第4句中的“希望此舉一方面能……，一方面能……”處理為主句“中國(guó)多個(gè)城市已經(jīng)限制購(gòu)車”(Many Chinesecities have imposed limits on car purchases)的伴隨動(dòng)作，用現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ) hoping to ease... andmeanwhile control...來(lái)表達(dá)，使譯文流暢、銜接緊密。

4.倒數(shù)第2句中的“來(lái)控制導(dǎo)致嚴(yán)重污染的行業(yè)”為目的狀語(yǔ)，用動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)來(lái)表達(dá)to controlindustries...，其中定語(yǔ)“導(dǎo)致嚴(yán)重污染的”較長(zhǎng)，故將其處理成定語(yǔ)從句，譯作which cause heavypollution，置于被修飾語(yǔ)industries之后。
