问题    春节前夕吃团圆饭是中国人的传统。团圆饭是一年中最重要的晚餐,也是家庭团聚的最佳时机,家人生活在不同地方的家庭尤其如此。团圆饭上的菜肴丰富多样,其中有些菜肴有特殊含义。例如,鱼是不可缺少的一道菜,因为汉语中的“鱼”字和“余”字听上去一样。在中国的许多地方,饺子也是一道重要的佳肴,因为饺子象征着财富和好运。

选项

答案    It is a tradition for the Chinese to have the family reunion dinner on the eve of the Spring Festival. The reunion dinner is the most important dinner of the year and the best moment for the family reunion, especially for families whose members live in different places. The dishes for the reunion dinner are richly varied, some of which have special meanings. For example, fish is indispensable to the reunion dinner, because the Chinese characters for "fish" and "surplus"sound the same. In many places of China, dumplings are also an important delicacy, for the reason that they symbolize wealth and good luck.

解析 1.翻译第一句时,“做某事是某人的传统”可套用句型It is a tradition for sb.to do sth.来表达,其中句首的It为形式主语,真正的主语为to do sth.。“春节”常译为the Spring Festival或Chinese New Year,故“春节前夕”可译为on the eve of the Spring Festival或on Chinese New Year’s Eve。
2.第二句相对较长,翻译时既可以译为一个整句,也可拆译为两句。拆译时,可将后半句“家人生活在不同地方的家庭尤其如此”另起一句,即译为“This is especially true for families whose members live in different places.”。“……尤其如此”可套用句式This is especially true…来表达。“最佳时机”可译为the best/perfect time/moment。
3.翻译第三句时,“其中有些菜肴”中的“其”指代前半句中的“团圆饭上的菜肴”,翻译时可将后半句处理为非限制性定语从句,译为some of which…,以使句意连贯、句式紧凑。“菜肴”可译为dishes,故“团圆饭上的菜肴”可译为The dishes for the reunion dinner;“丰富多样”还可译为diverse/rich and varied。
4.翻译第四句时,“例如”可用短语For example/For instance来表达,也可处理为句式Take sth,for example。“不可缺少的”可译为indispensable/necessary/essential。“因为”表明句中存在因果逻辑关系,可用“because/for the reason that+从句”或“because of/on account of+名词”结构来表达。“A和B听上去一样”可译为A sound(s)like B或A sound(s)the same as B,也可译为A and B sound the same。“汉语中的‘鱼’字和‘余’字听上去一样”可译为the Chinese characters for “fish”and“surplus”sound the same。
5.翻译第五句时,注意句中的因果逻辑关系。“因为”的译法最好与上句不同,以体现句式多样性。“饺子”可译为dumplings/jiaozi,“佳肴”可译为delicacy,“象征”可译为symbolize/represent。
