2016年四级翻译(潍坊风筝篇)的翻译原题:

逐句解析如下:
第⼀句:
在⼭东省潍坊市,风筝不仅仅是玩具,⽽且还是这座城市⽂化的标志。
这句可⽤句型A is not only B but also C. 或者:A is C as well as B. 其中,C为被重点强调的内容。所以,这句可译为:
(1) In Weifang City, Shandong Province, the kite is not only a toy but also a cultural symbol of the city.
(2) In Weifang City, Shandong Province, the kite is a cultural symbol of the city as well as a toy for children.
鉴于本篇内容为风筝的⽂化功能,⽽⾮玩具功能,所以,⽤句型 (2)  as well as 结构,将重点内容前置则更为妥帖。
第⼆句:
潍坊以“风筝之都”⽽闻名,已有将近2,400年放飞风筝的历史。
这句需要特别注意的是,两个简单句如何才能有效串接。
(1) Weifang is known as the City of the Kite, and it has a long history of two thousand four hundred years in flying the kite. 1. Weifang is known as the City of the Kite because it has a long history of two thousand four hundred years in flying the英语四级查询
kite.
并列句 (1) 和原因状语从句(2) 均可,没有优劣之分。
第三句:
传说中国古代哲学家墨⼦⽤了三年时间在潍坊制作了世界上⾸个风筝,但放飞的第⼀天风筝就坠落并摔坏了。
词汇:中国古代哲学家: one of the philosophers in ancient China
词汇:摔坏 crash, 就仿佛air crash
句型“传说……”: 可⽤It is said that …. 由于第四句中⼜是“也有⼈相信……”。所以,第三句和第四句可综合起来使⽤句型:It is said by some people that …. It is also believed by others that …. 其中,副词also起到串接两个句⼦的功⽤。
考⽣往往忽略的要点:本句中,传说内容有⼆,⼀是”墨⼦制作”,⼆是”风筝摔落”。所以,在It is said 句型后,需要使⽤两个连词that: It is said by some people that …, and that …. (其中,第⼆个连词that必不可少。)
注意全句的时态。
全句翻译:It is said by some people that Motse one of the philosophers in ancient China spent three years in making the first kite in the world, and that the kite he made crashed the first day it flew in the sky.
第四句:
也有⼈相信风筝是中国古代⽊匠鲁班发明的。据说他的风筝⽤⽊头和⽵⼦制作,飞了三天后才落地。
考⽣往往忽略的要点:本句中的传说内容也有⼆:⼀是”鲁班发明”,⼆是”风筝飞了三天”。所以,和第三句⼀样,这⾥也需要两个连词that:It is believed by others that …, and that …. (其中,第⼆个连词that必不可少。)
词汇:⽊匠: carpenter
词汇:⽤⽊头和⽵⼦制作:be made of wood and bamboo
词汇:飞了三天:fly for three days
词汇:落地:land on the ground
全句翻译:It is also believed by others that Luban the greatest carpenter in ancient China invented the kite, and that his kite made of wood and bamboo flew for three days before it landed on the ground.
全篇参考译⽂:
In Weifang City, Shandong Province, the kite is a cultural symbol of the city as well as a toy for children. Weifang is known as the City of the Kite because it has a long history of two thousand four hundred years in flying the kite. It is said by some people that Motse one of the philosophers in ancient China spent three years in making the first kite in the world, and that the kite he made crashed the first day it flew in the sky. It is also believed by others that Luban the greatest carpenter in ancient China invented the kite, and that his kite made of wood and bamboo flew for three days before it landed on the ground.
