问题
Many of the world’s languages are disappearing as modern communications, migration(人口?移)and population growth end the isolation of ethnic groups. At least half the world’s 6,000 languages will likely die out in the next century and only 5 percent of languages are safe, meaning they are spoken by at least 1 million people and receive state backing, experts say.
选项
答案
因为现代通讯手段的发展和人口的迁移及增长结束了各民族之间的相互隔绝,因此世界上的很多语言都处于消亡的过程中。专家认为,到下个世纪,世界上6000种语言中至少有一半可能灭绝,只有5%的语言是安全的,所谓“安全”是指这些语言的使用者不低于100万人,同时它们的使用得到官方的支持。
解析
本文介绍了当前相当一部分语言濒临灭绝的严峻现状,内容具体包括导致这种现状的原因,濒临灭绝的语言数量和相对安全的语言数量及安全语言的定义。翻译第一句时最好将“be disappearing”译为“处于消亡的过程中”,而不是直译为“正在消失”。另外翻译第二句时需将“experts say”前置,因为根据汉语习惯表示信息来源的部分应前置。在本文中有几个关键词语和短语的意思需特别注意:“moderncommunications”(现代通讯手段,此处应增译为“现代通讯手段的发展”,否则会不通顺)、“die out”(灭绝、消亡)以及“state backing”(政府的支持,“backing”之义与“support”相近)等。
