问题     泰山(Mount Tai)位于山东省的中部,海拔1545米。山上有不计其数的奇石(grotesque rock forma-tions)、清瀑、古松、石桥、庙宇、塔类、殿堂(hall),以及历代名人和书法家(calligrapher)所留下的古老的石刻碑文(inscription)。泰山将自然景观与文化遗产完美地融为一体,吸引着来自世界各地的游客。泰山之所以被称为“天下第一山”,是因为历代帝王认为它是圣地(holy place),并来此祈祷国家繁荣祥和。1987年泰山因其文化价值和旅游价值而被列为世界文化遗产和自然遗产。

选项

答案 Mount Tai, located in the center of Shandong Province, is 1,545 meters above sea level. There are numerous grotesque rock formations, clear waterfalls, age-old pine trees, stone bridges, temples, towers and halls, as well as ancient inscriptions carved in stones by celebrities and calligraphers of various dynasties. Mount Tai, a perfect combination of natural scenery and cultural heritage, attracts tourists all around the world. It is called "The First Mountain on the Earth" because the emperors of various dynasties considered it a holy place, where they prayed for the country’s prosperity and peace. Owing to its cultural and tourist values, Mount Tai was listed as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site in 1987.

解析 1.第一个句子由两个分句“泰山位于……”和“海拔……”构成。为使句子紧凑,翻译时可将“位于山东省的中部”译作located in the center of Shandong Province,放在主语Mount Tai后,相当于which is locat-ed in the center of Shandong Province。
2.第二句“山上有……”可使用there be…句型,注意使用连接词and,as well as等增加逻辑性。
3.在“泰山将自然景观……,吸引着来自世界各地的游客”这个句子中,主语“泰山”后接两个分句,“将自然景观与文化景观完美地融为一体”可译为名词短语a perfect combination of natural scenery and culturalheritage置于主语之后,作为插入语,起到解释说明的作用,使句子更加紧凑。
4.“泰山之所以被称为……,并来此祈祷国家繁荣祥和”这句话比较长,翻译成主从复合句It is called…be—cause…,此处用代词It指代Mount Tai,避免行文多处重复该词,显得啰嗦。“并来此祈祷国家繁荣祥和”可使用where引导的定语从句来表达。
