参考答案暂无解析:参考译文
All literary works, especially the great one like A Dream of Red Mansions, are extremely rich in content and involve diverse social strata to such an extent that they virtually resemble a mountain of treasure or a labyrinth.The readers are even more complicated, differing from each other in family background, social experience, nationality, country, cultural tradition, psychological condition, age, sex, profession, hobby, etc.The list could go on endlessly, so I wouldn't mind stopping right here.They will each appreciate a certain aspect of the novel according to their own individuality.They may feel inspired and enlightened, and hence love it, or they may feel hurt, and hence loathe it.In short, the reactions vary.
难点注释
1.此篇翻译中的词汇全部控制在六级难度以内,主要考查考生如何有效地将中文长旬分割翻泽成英文短句。第 一句句子很长,体现出中文句式结构呈现竹节式、重意合的特点;而英文则是树枝式、重形合。在翻译过程中, 应该理清句子的主次结构,比如该句的主干是“一切文学作品……内容异常地丰富,涉及的社会层面异常地 多”,知道主句结构后,将修饰成分往主句里面添加就可以了。其中“文学作品”不可直接译为literature, literature指的是“文学”这一大类,此处应该译为literary works。
2.第二句是个较为复杂的长句,翻译时可以将其拆分开来,“而读者群就更为复杂……不同的爱好”为第一个分 句,破折号中间的插入语有明显的主谓结构,可以直接译成第二个分句,“他们来读《红楼梦》……的某一个方 面”则为第三个分句。第一个分句中众多“不同的……”可以泽作differing from each other in…,后面的排比 句均作介词in的宾语;第三个分句中“他们来读《红楼梦》……”中的“读”字有些考生必定会译成read,但其实 此处的“读”应该是“理解”之意,而非只是简单的阅读,所以处理成appreciate更合适。
3.最后一句是一个无主句,分析后不难看出,这里的主语是“读者”,所以翻译时需增译出主语They。“受到鼓舞,受到启发,引起了喜爱”这里含有明显的因果关系,所以泽文中需要表现出来,加入副词hence,该句最后 一个小分句“总之是千差万别”之前用的是逗号,但是通过通读原句可以发现,此句翻译时更适合独立成句,总 结前面的两种反应,即译为:In short,the reactions vary。
A.He is looking for a new place to live. B.He is looking for a new job. C.He wants the woman to be his referee. D.He refuses to give the woman any assistance.
