问题     大自然对人的恩赐,无论贫富,一律平等。所以人们对于大自然,全都一致并深深地依赖着。尤其在乡间,上千年来人们一直以不变的方式生活着。种植庄稼和葡萄,酿酒和饮酒,喂牛和挤奶,锄草和栽花;在周末去教堂祈祷和做礼拜,在节日到广场拉琴、跳舞和唱歌;往日的田园依旧是今日的温馨家园。这样,每个地方都有自己的传说,风俗也就衍传了下来。

选项

答案     People, poor or rich, are equally favored by Nature. Therefore, everyone has become unanimously and profoundly dependent on it. This is particularly true in the countryside where people have been living in the same style for thousands of years—planting crops and grapes; brewing and drinking wine; raising and milking cows; weeding and planting flowers; going to church on weekends and praying; playing music, dancing and singing in the square on holidays. The past fields and gardens remain their comfortable homesteads today. Thus, every place, with its own legends and tales, has its traditions and customs passed on from generation to generation.

解析 1.“大自然对人的恩赐,无论贫富,一律平等”看似很简短的一句话,却需要掌握翻译技巧才能翻译得更地道,可以翻译为:All human beings,whether they are poor or rich,are equally blessed by Nature.或People,poor or rich,are equally favored by Nature.其中“恩赐”是bestow/favor。
2.第四句“种植庄稼和葡萄,……今日的温馨家园”很长,是本段文字的难点。翻译这部分时有两种方法:一种是采用转换法,把这部分和第三句连接起来,用分词的形式来表现这些动作;另一种是采用增译法,补充主语,这些动作作为并列的谓语成分。
3.“酿酒”可泽为brewing wine。
4.“喂牛和挤奶”可译为raising and milking cows。
5.“锄草和栽花”可译为weeding and planting flowers。
6.“祈祷和做礼拜”可译为going to church and praying.
7.“田园”可译为fields and gardens。
8.“温馨家园”可译为comfortable homestead。
