2017年6月大學(xué)英語四級翻譯練習(xí)題
印章篆刻
請將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
中國的印章篆刻(seal carving)始于古代,貫穿于整個秦朝。篆刻的印帝最初是作為皇帝的玉璽(imperial seal)來使用的;始业挠≌卤环Q為璽(Xi)并且只能由皇室成員使用。秦朝之后,更多不同種類的印章出現(xiàn)了。它們作為個性化的印戳用于私人用途。這些非官方定制的印戳被稱為印(Yin)。在唐朝,由于迷信(superstition),印章的名稱被改稱為寶,理由是璽的發(fā)音與另一個表示“死亡”意思的漢字類似。
參考翻譯:
Chinese seal carving first appeared in ancient times and was used throughout the Qin Dynasty. It was initially employed as an imperial seal named Xi. These imperial seal carvings were used only by the royalty. Following this dynasty, more different kinds of seals appeared and were used by private folks as personalized stamps. These non-official stamps were called Yin. During the Tang Dynasty, the seals was renamed Bao as a result of superstition since the pronunciation of Xi is similar to that of another Chinese charactcr which means death.
1.篆刻的印幸最初是作為皇帝的玉璽(imperial seal)來使用的:該句可譯為被動句,謂語是"最初是作為…使用”,其中“使用”可用employ來表示,屬于正式用語,故可翻譯為was initially employed as。
2.由于迷信,印章的名稱被改稱為寶:“由于”可譯為becauseof或as a rcsult of, 這兩個短語后面都接名句或動名詞。

儒家思想
請將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
儒家思想
儒家思想(Confucianism)是中國影響最大的思想流派,也是中國古代的主流意識。自漢代以來,儒家思想就是封建統(tǒng)治階級(feudal ruling class)的指導(dǎo)思想之一。儒家思想的核心其實是一種人道主義(humanism )。它提倡自我修養(yǎng),認(rèn)為人是可教化的、可完善的。儒家思想的一個宏大的目標(biāo)就是實現(xiàn)“大同社會”,在這樣的一個社會中,每個人都能扮演好自己的角色,并與他人維持良好的關(guān)系。
參考翻譯:
Confucianism
Confucianism is the largest Chinese school ofthoughts, and the mainstream consciousness ofthe ancient China. Confucianism had been one of theruling doctrines of the feudal ruling class since theHan Dynasty. The core of Confucianism is actually a kind of humanism. It advocates self-cultivation, and believes that human beings are teachable and improvable. A grand goal ofConfucianism is to achieve a harmonious society in which each individual plays his or her partwell, and maintains a good relationship with others.
1.思想流派:可譯為school of thoughts。
2.指導(dǎo)思想:可譯為ruling doctrine,也可直譯為guiding ideology。
3.自我修養(yǎng):應(yīng)翻譯為self-cultivation。cultivate除了有“耕種;照料”之意,還可以表示“修養(yǎng),改善”。
4.可教化的、可完善的:都可以使用動詞加上“-able”這一形容詞后綴的構(gòu)詞法,故分別為teachable和improvable。
5.大同社會:孔子所提出的“大同”的特征是:“大道之行也,天下為公。選賢與能,講信修睦…”從字面上也可看出,“大同”即為“和諧”之意, 故“大同社會”可譯為 harmonious society 或 perfect society。
6.每個人:除可譯為everybody、everyone以外,還可譯為each individual, 更加強調(diào)個體。“扮演好某人的角色”即為play one's part/role well。
