解析 1. 第一句:在本句中,“中国人欢度春节的”充当定语,里面有动作,翻译时可以处理为含有不定式短语的介词短语,for Chinese people to celebrate the Spring Festival;“一个重要习俗”翻译成an important custom。
2. 第二句:本句主干是“春联由一对诗句和四字横批组成”,翻译成The couplets consist of a pair of poetry lines and a four-character horizontal scroll;“诗句和横批用金色或黑色写在红纸上”是补充说明性的内容,可翻译成非限制性定语从句,即which are written in gold or black On red paper;“红色代表幸运,金色代表财富”又补充说明该定语从句,可翻译成with复合结构,即with red representing luck and gold symbolizing wealth,充当该定语从句的状语。
3. 第三句:本句汉语表达为主动句,但其实暗含着被动的意味,即“春联被贴……”,故翻译成英文时,应采用被动语态的句式,即Spring Festival couplets are pasted…;“在大门左右两侧”翻译为on the left and right sides of the from door;“门框上方”翻译为above the doorframe。
4. 第四句:句子主干是“春联的诗句体现中国传统诗词的特点”,翻译成The lines of the Spring Festival couplets reflect the characteristics of traditional Chinese poetry;“两句诗的字数相同、内容相关”是补充说明性文字,可以翻译成with复合结构,即with the two lines having the same number of words and related content。
5. 第五句:主干“横批凸显春联的主题”翻译成The horizontal scroll highlights the theme of Spring Festival couplets;“更是锦上添花”是补充说明性内容,可翻译成非限制性定语从句。
6. 第六旬:“以简洁的文字描绘生动的形象”翻译为depict vivid images in simple words;“抒发美好的愿望”与前面内容并列,翻译为express good wishes。
7. 第七句:本句应翻译成含有时间状语从句的主从复合句。“当家家户户贴春联时”翻译为When every family sticks Spring Festival couplets;主句中“拉开序幕”是翻译难点,这是一种形象的表达方式,需要我们转换为直白的语言,“拉开序幕”即表示“开始”,故主句翻译为people will realize that the Spring Festival has officially begun。
