7、ffered from industrial pollution and loss of lakes, which has brought seasonal floods. 【试题解析】 1第 1句包含 4个短句，内容较多，仔细分析可发现，前两个短句主要介绍长江的地理概况，后两个短句说明其排名情况，可用 “拆译 ”法将前两个短句处理为一个句子，后面的 “是中国第一大河，世界第三大河 ”处理成另一个句子。 “又名 ”可翻译为 also named，但不如直接用 or表达来得简单。 “第一大河 ”按照习惯译为 thelongest river， “第三大河 ”为避免用词重复，译为 the thir

12、 2句中的 “买房却不是一件容易的事情 ”可译为 buying a house is not an easy thing，但套用 it is+a +to do sth句型来翻译 “做某事是怎么样的 ”会更符合英文的表达习惯，故该句宜译作 it is quitedifficult for many people to buy a house。 3在第 4句中， “鉴于此种情况 ”既可直译为 In view of the situation，也可译为Given this situation，或是根据上下文转译为 For this reason。 “来抑制房价过快增长 ”表目的，故用不定式短语作状语

16、e as its main color来表达。 2第 3句的前半句 “它采用 作为原材料 ”可处理成主干，后半句则处理为伴随状语，用现在分词短语来表达。该句可译作 It usesas raw mate rials，combining 。 3第 4句若直译为 Jing Tai Lan is elegant and beautiful and has a unique 则略显生硬。宜将后半句处理成状语，补充说明景泰蓝，用介词短语 with a unique 来表达，句子简洁清晰。 4在倒数第 2句中，定语 “皇家专用的 ”较长，可将其处理成后置定语，用过去分词短语 owned only by ro

20、译第 3句时可套用 be greater than这种表比较的句型，该句是把唐朝的疆域与汉朝的疆域进行比较，故 than后面需增译代词 that，用于指代前面提到的 territory，即 than that in the Han Dynasty，注意不能直接译成 than the Han Dynasty。 3第 4句的前半句和后半句有一定的因果联系，翻译时可将后半句 “农业经济十分 发达 ”处理成结果状语，用现在分词短语 making a prosperous agricultural economy来表达。 4最后一句是无主语句， “出现了整整一代文学巨匠 ”可用存现句型 there ap

21、peared来表达。 “其中包括 ” 补充说明前面的情况，可用分词短语including来表达。 “唐诗 双圣 ”可处理成 “李白和杜甫 ”的同位语，译作 the twin masters of the Tang poetry，置于其后。 【知识模块】 汉译英 5 【正确答案】 Chinese painting is one of the oldest artistic traditions in the world.

24、he painting is done， “用毛笔蘸黑墨 ” 处理成方式状语，用介词短语 with a brush dipped in black来表达，这样句子更简洁、逻辑关系更强。 2在第 3句中， “可分为几大类 ”可译为短语 be divided into categories； “写意派和工笔派 ”则可用定语从句 which are来表达。 3第 4句含有对比的并列结构，可用表对比的连词 while来连接。该句中的 “注重 描绘细节 ”译成 attachimportance to detail即可达意，省译 “描绘 ”； “以精细的笔法 ”是方式状语，可用介词短语 with fine brushwork来表达，置于句末。 4在最后一句中，定语 “不同时期的 ”较长，可将其处理成后置定语，表达为 at different times periods。 【知识模块】 汉译英
