2017年6月大学练习题13篇汇总1.中国菜请将下面这段话翻译成英文:中国菜(cuisine)是中国各地区、各民族各种菜肴的统称,也指发源于中国的烹饪方式。

中国菜历史悠久, 流派(genre)众多,主要代表菜系有“八大菜系”。

每一菜系因气候、地理、历史、烹饪技巧和生活方式的差异而风格各异。

中国菜的调料(seasoning)丰富多样,调料的不同是形成地方特色菜的主要原因之一。

中国菜强调色、香、味俱佳,味是菜肴的灵魂。

中国饮食文化博大精深,作为世界三大菜系之一的中国菜,在海内外享有盛誉。

参考翻译:Chinese cuisine is a general term for the various foods from diverse regions and ethnic groups of China. It also refers to cooking styles originating from China. With a long history, Chinese cuisine has a number of different genres, the main representatives of which are "Eight Cuisines". Every cuisine is distinctive from one another due to the differences in climate, geography, history, cooking techniques and lifestyle. Chinese cuisine contains a rich variety of seasonings, which is one of main factors contributing to different local special dishes. Chinese cuisine lays emphasis onthe perfect combination of color, flavor, and taste, and the soul of the dishes in taste. Chinese cuisine culture is extensive and profound, and Chinese cuisine, one of the Three World Cuisines, enjoys a reputation home and abroad.1.第一句话的汉语由两个分句组成,句子较长,在译成英文时,可把它拆分成两句。

“也指发源于中国的烹饪方式”可单独译成一句also refers to cooking styles originating from China,这样可以更好的体现两句的并列关系。

2.第二句话由三个分句组成。

翻译时将“中国菜流派众多”译为主句,“历史悠久”用with a history of...来表达,“主要代表菜系有…”则用非限制性定语从句表示。

这样可以使译文结构紧凑,句式多样。

3.第三句中的“风格各异”可以用be distinctive from表达,比用have different styles更地道。

4.在“中国菜强调色、香、味俱佳”中,“色、香、味俱佳”的英文翻译并没有逐字的对应,因而增译了combination,把汉语中暗含的意思完整地表达出来。

2.中国制造请将下面这段话翻译成英文:“中国制造”指在中国制造的商品所附的标签。

由于中国有丰富的劳动力资源和原材料资源等优势,中国制造的产品物美价廉,受到世界各国的欢迎。

中国的制造业迅速发展,“中国制造”已经成为一个在全球广受认可的标签。

目前中国已经成为世界制造业的中心,被称为“世界工厂”。

尽管全球大量的电子产品和鞋都是中国制造,但这些产品的设计都是在欧美国家完成的,如今越来越多的中国公司致力于开创自己的品牌。

希望实现从“中国制造”到“中国设计”的转变。

参考翻译:"Made in China" is a label attached to the products manufactured in China. Owing to the advantages of rich labor resources and raw material resources in China, products made in China arewell-received in the world on account of their competitive price and superior quality. "Made in China" has become a recognizable label in the world today thanks to the rapid development of the manufacturing industry in China. At present, China has become the world’s manufacturing center and is named "World Workshop". Although globally a great number of electronic products and shoes are made in China, all their designs are completed in European and American countries. Nowadays a growing number of Chinese companies are devoting themselves to establishing their own brands, hoping to be transformed from "Made in China" into "Designed in China".1.“由于中国有丰富的劳动力资源…”,可以使用owing to是“受到世界各国的欢迎”的原因,翻译时可以使用on account of引出理由,避免重复。

2.“中国的制造业迅速发展”与“‘中国制造’已经成为一个在全球广受认识的标签”是因果关系,为避免与前面表达原因的短语重复,可以使用短语thanks to...。

3.在“尽管全球大量的电子产品和鞋都是中国制造,但这些产品的设计都是在欧美国家完成的”中,“电子产品和鞋”是“制造”的受动者,“设计”是“完成”的受动者,故使用被动语态来翻译。

4.最后一句中“希望实现从‘中国制造’到‘中国设计’的转变”可使用现在分词作状语,译作hoping to be transformed from “Made in China” into “Designed in China”。

“实现”一词可省略,把汉语原文中的名词“转变”译作动词transform,这样处理句子更简洁。

3. 中国桥梁请将下面这段话翻译成英文:中国的桥梁建设有着悠久的历史。

中国古代桥梁以木材和石头为主要建筑材料,形式多样,极富特色。

中国现存最古老的桥梁为隋代建造的安济桥,位于河北省赵县。

安济桥又名赵州桥,桥长50.82米,桥宽9米,为国家重点保护的文物(cultural relic)。

清朝末年,兰州黄河铁桥建成,标志着中国桥梁建设进入了以钢铁和混凝土(concrete)为主要材料的时期。

如今,中国的桥梁建设保持着多项世界记录,中国跻身于世界桥梁建设强国行列。

参考翻译:China boasts a long history in bridge construction. With wood and stone as the major building materials, Chinese ancient bridges vary in forms and are highly distinct. Constructed in the Sui Dynasty, Anji Bridge, which is located in Zhao County, Hebei Province is the oldest existing bridge in China. Anji Bridge, also named Zhaozhou Bridge, is a key national protected cultural relic measuring a length of meters and a width of the late years of the Qing Dynasty, Huanghe Iron Bridge in Lanzhou was completed, symbolizing that China’s bridge construction stepped into an era of adopting steel and concrete as the main materials for bridges. Now bearing many world records, China stands among world giants in bridge construction.1.第二句中的“以...为主要建筑材料”可处理为状语,用介词短语with...as the major building materials表达,而“中国古代桥梁”宜译为“形式多样,极富特色”的主语,谓语部分“形式多样,极富特色”可处理为并列内容,用and连接,表达为vary in forms and are highly distinct。

2.第三句“中国现存最古老的桥梁…位于河北省赵县”的定语较多,可以拆译成两句。

首先译出主要结构Anji Bridge is the bridge,“现存最古老的”有两个形容词,英语中的比较级或最高级形容词通常在其他形容词之前,故译为oldest existing。

“隋代建造的”可处理为过去分词短语constructed in the Sui Dynasty 或which引导的定语从句。

3.第四句的主干是“安济桥为国家重点保护的文物”,故把“又名赵州桥”处理为插入语also named...;将“桥长50.82米,桥宽9米”处理为伴随状态的状语,用分词短语measuring a length of...and a width of...译出。
