问题     人们都说北京是政治之城,上海是时尚之城,广州是经济之城,而成都是个幸福之城。这里气候湿润,物产丰富(productive)。得天独厚的自然环境使得人们谋生比较容易,生活因而安逸、轻松。成都人不图升官发财,只图一份好心情。2005年的一个调查表明,成都人对月收入的期望值是3 000元,他们认为达到这个数字就会感到幸福。这正应了中国的一句老话:“有福之人不用忙”。

选项

答案     People like to call Beijing a political city. Shanghai, on the other hand, is viewed as a city of fashions. Guangzhou is the center of the economy where business has priority, while Chengdu is a happy-go-lucky city. The temperature here is mild and the land is productive. The favorable environment makes it easier to make a living and has given rise to a very easy and relaxed lifestyle. People in Chengdu tend to be happy and forget about fame and wealth. According to a survey in 2005, people’s expectation for a monthly salary is 3 000 yuan. They believe that amount of money is enough to lead a happy life in Chengdu. This reminds us of an old Chinese saying, "A lucky person doesn’t have to chase luck. "

解析 1.第一句包含四个小分句,在翻译的时候我们可以考虑拆译,分成多个英文句子。另外,该句四次提到“是……之城”,但在翻译的时候注意不要都翻译成is…city。英文中提倡语言富于变化,所以我们在翻译时进行了相应的处理,避免了简单重复。
2.我们在翻译第三句中的“得天独厚”这个四字成语时,可以简单地处理为favorable,用来修饰environment。句中的“生活安逸、轻松”可以翻译为a very easy and relaxed lifestyle。
3.最后一句中的“有福之人不用忙”翻译时采取意译的方式,翻译为A lucky person doesn’t have to chase luck.
