问题     为了促进教育公平,中国已投入360亿元,用于改善农村地区教育设施和加强中西部地区农村义务教育(compulsory education)。这些资金用于改善教学设施、购买书籍,使16万多所中小学受益。资金还用于购置音乐和绘画器材。现在农村和山区的儿童可以与沿海城市的儿童一样上音乐和绘画课。一些为接受更好教育而转往城市上学的学生如今又回到了本地农村学校就读。

选项

答案     In order to promote education equity, China has invested 36 billion yuan to improve the education facilities in rural areas and strengthen rural compulsory education in the central and western regions. The funds is used to better the school’s teaching facilities and purchase books, from which more than 160,000 middle and primary schools have gained benefits. The money is also spent on acquiring musical and painting instruments. Nowadays, children in rural and mountainous areas can have access to music and drawing lessons just like children in coastal cities. Some students who had once transferred to urban schools for better education now return to the local rural schools.

解析 1.第一句中,“为了促进教育公平”在原文中作为目的状语,翻译成英文时可以借助短语in order to作相同的处理。“教育公平”还可以用equal access to education表示。“中西部地区”还可以译为in the mid—west areas。根据本句的具体语境,“加强”还可以译为enhance。
2.第二句中,“改善”用了better表达,是improve的另外一种表达方式。“购买书籍”此处用purchase books比用buy books更显正式。“使16万多所中小学受益”译文中处理为which引导的定语从句,当然也可以译为and连接的并列句,即The funds is used to better the school’s teaching facilities and purchase books,andmore than 160,000 middle and primary schools have gained benefits from this.但第一种处理方式能更清楚地表达两小句的关系,并且,翻译时应避免全篇只使用简单句型,会使文章显得较为单调。
3.第三句中的“购置”和第二句中的“购买”意思相同,acquire有“购得,得到”的意思,是较正式的用法。“用于”在第二句中已经译为is used to,此句中采用另一个短语,即“花费”be spent on。
4.第四句中“现在”还可以用these days或now表示。“山区”即多山的地区,译为mountainous areas。“上音乐和绘画课”可以直译为have music and drawing lessons,但根据原文的意思,文中强调的应该是农村和山区的儿童现在也有便利的条件接受音乐和绘画课,所以可以译为have access to music and drawing lessons。“沿海城市”除了表示为coastal cities,还可以译为cities along the seacoast或seaboard cities。
5.第五句中,有些考生可能会把“转往城市上学”译为transferred to cities to go to school,但如果能对中文语义进一步理解,“转往城市上学”即转入城市学校,所以可以泽为transferred to urban schools,这种表达方式比前一种更加准确。
