问题   铜鼓(bronze drum)文化是远古时代在长江以南及东南亚的广大地区流行的一种典型文化代表。在古代,铜鼓多用于祭神、征战和节日活动。在祭神时,它是神圣的法器(artifact);征战时,它是号令军队振作士气的军乐器;在节日里,它又成为最激动人心的打击乐器(percussion instrument)。铜鼓给人们带来的不仅是精神层面的东西,它还有重要的实用价值。许多少数民族依然保留着在传统节日及婚娶和丧葬等场合使用铜鼓的习俗。

选项

答案   The bronze drum culture was a kind of typical culture popularized in the wide area of South of the Yangtze River in China and Southeast Asia in ancient times.

It was a sacred artifact on the sacrifice ceremonies, a military musical instrument transmitting orders to soldiers and reviving the morale in the war, and the most exciting percussion instrument in festivals.

解析       1.第一句是一个长句,句子的主干是:铜鼓文化是一种文化代表。“在长江以南……地区流行的”可译为后置定语。
      2.第一句已经提到了“远古时代”,因而第二句开头的“在古代”没有必要再重复地译出来,句子用一般过去时表示即可。
      3.第三句有三个结构相似的小分句,主语是一致的,都是“它”,因而梅其整合成一个句子即可。“在祭神时”“征战时”和“在节日里”可译作时间状语。
      4.末句的主干是“少数民族保留着使用铜鼓的习俗。”“在……场合”可以译为on the occasions of…。on the occasion of意为“在(重要事件)之际”,如on the occasion of his wedding“在他的婚礼上”。
