2、参考翻译:Western Development is an important policy of Chinaaiming at promoting economic development. SinceChina adopted the reform and opening-up policy,and especially since the special economic zones wereset up in the coastal cities in southeast China, theChinese economy has grown rapidly. However, owing to its remote location, backwardtransportation, and insufficient exchange with other regions, western China is lessdeveloped in its economy, culture and people's living standard. In order to tackle theimbalanced development among regions, China has launched the campaign of WesternDevelopment, offering preferential policies to the west in many aspects such as introduction oftalents and investment. Now the campaign ofWestern Development has made remarkableachievements, gradually narrowing the gap between the east and the west.1.第一句中的定语“促进经济发展的”较长,故将其处理为后置定语修饰“重要政策”,翻译时,可译为现在分词短语或定语从句,此外“促进经济发展”是该项政策的目的因此宜增译短语aim at,译作aiming at promoting economicdevelopment 或which aims at…。
2.第二句“自从…以来,尤其是…”为并列的两个分句,因此可考虑将其翻译为两个由since引导的时间状语从句SinceChina adopted..., and especially since the special economic zones were...,注意since引导的从句要用一般过去时,主句使用现在完成时。
3.翻译第三句的“由于…中国西部地区…”时,可使用owing to...结构表达“由于…”,而“位置偏远、交通落后、与其他地区交流不足”为三个并列的原因,可用并列结构进行直译。
“在…方面不够发达”可译作be lessdeveloped in…。
4.倒数第二句的“为了解决地区间发展的不平衡”表目的,故将其译作目的状语in order to...。
后两个分句可直译为and连接的并列句,但这样处理句子结构松散,稍显平淡,不如选“中国开展了…运动”作为主句,将“在引进人才和投资等方面给予…”处理为现在分词短语offering preferential policies...来得地道和有层次感。
3、翻译范文:Traffic jam has been a problem shared by all countries around the world.In recent years,the urbanization of China reaches an unprecedented level,which leads to especially prominent traffic jam in large and medium-sized cities.The problem of traffic jam has extended from part to a wide range.Traffic jam not only affects the efficiency and quality of uiban life,but also causes a series of economic and social problems like environmental pollution and energy deficiency,which greatly restricts the development of cities.To solve the problem,well-organized public transportation is indispensable.Low ticket price is the basic guarantee of priority of public transportation.In the long term,we must vigorously develop rail transportation to lessen traffic jam.1.世界各国普遍面临的问题:译为a problem shared by all countries around the world。
“普遍面临的”在此处译为shared by,即“为…所共有的”,也可以用commonly faced by表达。
2.尤其突出:可译为especially prominent或particularly prominent。
其中prominent意为“突出的,显著的”。
3.由局部向大范围蔓延:可译为has extended from part to a wide range。

4、参考译文:Currently, there are about 270 million people agedbetween 18 and 30 in China,and the owning rate ofsmartphone among this age group is up to 92%, farabove the global average of 67%. According tostatistics,the annual per capita disposable income ofChinese urban residents is 24,565 yuan, with average monthly income per capita being 2,047yuan. That means,urban residents can afford an iPhone 5 with a price of 5,288 yuan afterworking for 3 months. Whereas, during the first 10 months in 2012, actual per capita disposableincome in America is 32,653.1 dollars, with average monthly income per capita being 3,265dollars. That tells us,American people can afford 16 iPhones 5 by working only for onemonth.Calculating in this way, American people's consumptive power of iPhone 5 is 48 times thatof Chinese people. But the coverage of smartphone in America is still surpassed by China, from which Chinese people's great enthusiasm towards smartphone is obvious.1.目前:可用currently或at present表达。
