问题     傣族(the Dai Nationality)是中国少数民族之一，主要居住在云南省的西双版纳。傣族历史悠久，在不同时期有不同的名称。傣族自称是“傣”，意为酷爱自由与和平的人。新中国成立后，正式将该民族定名为傣族。傣族人口约有120万，绝大多数的傣族人都信仰佛教(Buddhism)。他们有自己的语言文字。傣族最著名的节日是泼水节(water Splashing Festival)，也是傣族人的新年，一般持续3至7天，人们相互泼水表示祝福。傣族人很擅长跳舞，其中最著名的是孔雀舞(Peacock Dance)。
选项
答案     The Dai Nationality is one of the ethnic minorities in China, mostly living in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. With a long history, the Dai Nationality had various names in different periods. The Dai people called themselves "Dai", which means people loving freedom and peace. After the founding of New China, the name of "Dai" was officially recognized. The Dai people number about 1.2 million with the majority of them believing in Buddhism. They have their own language. The most famous festival is the Water Splashing Festival, also the New Year for the Dai people. It usually lasts for 3 to 7 days during which people would splash each other to express good wishes. The Dai people are good at dancing, and the most famous dance is Peacock Dance.
解析 1．第一句中的“主要居住在云南省的西双版纳”可处理为表伴随动作的状语，用分词短语mostly living in…来表达。“云南省的西双版纳”在英译时，按照英语表达习惯，应把小地点置前，大地点放后。
2．第二句中的“历史悠久”处理为状语，用介词短语with a long history来表达更简洁，也更突出后半句“在不同时期有不同的名称”的意义，将其处理成主句。
3．第三句中的“意为酷爱自由与和平的人”处理为定语从句，表达为which means…。“酷爱自由与和平的”较长，故将其处理为后置定语，用现在分词短语loving freedom and peace来表达。
4．第四句中的“正式将该民族定名为傣族”因无需强调主语，故把它处理为被动语态，译作the name of“Dai”was officially recognized。
5．第五句中的“傣族人口约有120万”可以直接译为The population of the Dai people is about 1．2 million．但不如The Dai people number about 1．2 million有新意，后者接用number作谓语动词，译法更简洁。“绝大多数的傣族人都信仰佛教”可处理成介词短语with the majority of them believing in Buddhism．作句子的状语。
6．翻译倒数第二句“一般持续3至7天，人们相互泼水表示祝福”时，可将后半句处理为非限制性定语从句，用during which引导，译作during which people would splash each other…。
