At this last presidential inauguration of the 20th century, let us lift our eyes toward the challenges that await us in the next century. It is our great good fortune that time and chance have put us not only at the edge of a new century, in a new millennium, but on the edge of a bright new prospect in human affairs — a moment that will define our course, and our character, for decades to come. We must keep our old democracy forever young. Guided by the ancient vision of a promised land, let us set our sights upon a land of new promise.
The promise of America was born in the 18th century out of the bold conviction that we are all created equal. It was extended and preserved in the 19th century, when our nation spread across the continent, saved the union, and abolished the awful scourge of slavery.
选项
答案
藉此20世纪最后一届总统就职演说之际,让我们放眼未来,迎接下个世纪等待我们的的各种挑战。很幸运的是,时间和机遇不仅将我们置于新世纪的边缘,一个新千年,而且将我们置身于人类事业一个崭新的、光辉的边缘——这是一个决定我们未来数十年的方向和角色的时刻。我们必须使古老的民主永葆青春。在“希望之乡”这一古老愿境的指引下,让我们将目光投向“新的希望之乡”。
美国的希望源于18世纪一个大胆的信念——所有人都是生来平等的。在19世纪,我们国家横跨(美洲)大陆,拯救了联邦,并废除了可怕的奴隶制的蹂躏,这一信念才得以延伸和传承。
解析
1.lift our eyes toward the challenges若直接译成“放眼挑战”,不太符合汉语的搭配,故可增译成,“放眼未来,迎接挑战”。
2.It is our great good fortune that…是强调句,汉语鲜有此结构,翻译时可将强调部分译成状语,故译作“很幸运的是.……”
3.course在本文中属于熟词生义,根据上下文推敲。此处应译作“方向、定位”。
4.a land of new promise与前文的a promised land对应,故参照“希望之乡”,可译作“新的希望之乡”。
5.It was extended and preserved in the 19th century,when…分析此句可知,when后引导的从句内容是这一信念得以延伸和传承的原因,故此句可用逆序法翻译,更符合汉语习惯。
