问题     红色是中华儿女最喜爱的颜色,在传统文化中象征着喜庆与祥和。中国人的生活中充满红色主题的装饰,如红色的灯笼、红色的婚礼用品和红色的对联(couplets)等。古人认为红色具有驱逐邪恶的功能,因此中国古代的许多宫殿和寺庙的墙壁都被漆成红色。红色是激情和胜利的颜色,2008年北京奥运会的会徽(emblem)就以红色为主色。红色也被认为是革命的颜色,代表了中国人民在共产党领导下进行的解放战争。因此,中国的国旗也以红色为底色。

选项

答案 Red, the favorite color of the Chinese, symbolizes joyousness and harmony in traditional culture. Chinese people’s life is filled with decorations whose dominant color is red, such as the red lanterns, red wedding items and red couplets. The ancient people held that red could expel evil spirits, thus the walls of numerous palaces and temples were painted red in ancient China. Red is a color of passion and victory. The emblem of 2008 Beijing Olympics adopted red as its main color. Red is also considered a color of revolution, representing the liberation war of Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. Therefore, the national flag of China is red-based.

解析 1.第一句的两个分句主语都是“红色”,在翻译时可将“是中华儿女最喜爱的颜色”处理为插入语,将“红色象征着喜庆和祥和”译为句子主干。
2.“古人认为红色……漆成红色”中“具有驱逐邪恶的功能”,可以直译为had a function of expelling evilspirits,也可以按参考译文译作could be used to expel evil spirits,后者能加强语气,强调其功能。
3.“红色是激情……就以红色为主色”,这句话中的两个分句主语各不同,在翻译时应拆译为两个句子,前一句强调红色代表什么,后一句说明会徽的颜色。“以红色为主色”可用take...as...“将……作为”,也可用动词adopt“采用”。
4.倒数第二句中,可将“红色也被认为是革命的颜色”作为句子主干,对应译为被动语态Red is considered…;“代表了……”可用现在分词短语representing...翻译,用作状语。
