2015年12月英語四級翻譯練習(xí)及答案：清明上河圖

翻譯題目

《清明上河圖》(Along the River during the Qingming Festival)是中國名畫之一。它為北宋(the Northern Song Dynasty)畫家張擇端所作?，F(xiàn)收藏于故宮博物院(the Palace Museum)。《清明上河圖》寬25.5厘米，長525厘米。畫卷里，畫家描繪了北宋清明時(shí)節(jié)都城的自然風(fēng)光和人們的日常生活?！肚迕魃虾訄D》內(nèi)容豐富，繪有大量的人物、樹木、動物、車輛、建筑和船只。因其具有很高的歷史價(jià)值和藝術(shù)價(jià)值，《清明上河圖》被視為國寶。

表達(dá)難點(diǎn)

1.第2句中的“它為……所作，現(xiàn)收藏于……”如果逐字對譯為比was painted by…and it is kept 稍顯生硬、不夠順暢。宜將前半句處理成狀語用表被動的過去分詞短語來表達(dá)，譯作Painted by Zhang Zeduan.“北宋畫家”則用同位語a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty譯出。

2.第3句中的“寬25.5厘米，長525厘米”可采用句型……centimeters wide and…centimeters long，也可便用 has a width of…and a length of…句型。

3.倒數(shù)第2句“《清明上河圖》內(nèi)容豐富，繪有大量的人物、樹木……”宜把前半句處理成主句，后半句用介詞 with引出，表伴隨狀態(tài)，譯作the painting is rich in contents with a large number of humans， trees…。

4.最后一句中的“因其具有很髙的歷史價(jià)值和藝術(shù)價(jià)值”可處理成原因狀語，用介詞短語for its very high historic and artistic values來表達(dá)，使得譯文結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊、語言簡潔。
