难点注释
这段关于剪纸的小文章难词较多,长句较多,要想把它翻译准确、通顺,不仅需要考生的单词量和单词拼写过关,而且语法和句间逻辑关系的把握以及中英文转化技巧的运用也很重要。
1.这段文章中比较难的词语有美化、居家环境、婚庆、装饰等,这些词英文中没有明确对应的词,考生在翻译时应该抓住词的根本意思进行翻译。如美化可译为makemore beautiful.
2.分析句子结构,抓住主干。比如,第一句剪纸是中国最为流行的传统民间艺术形式之一。剪纸是主语,是是谓语,中国最为流行的之一是表语,基本可以断定,本句转化为英文时是一个主系表结构的句子。
3.处理中文里的短句时,要抓住每句的主干,其他短句在翻译成英文时需要转变为定语从句、状语从句等,比如,特别是在春节和婚庆期间,剪纸被用来装饰门窗和房间,以增加喜庆的气氛。这句里面,特别是在春节和婚庆期间在翻译时可以译为本句的状语,剪纸被用来装饰门窗和房间是句子的主干,以增加喜庆的气氛是本句的目的状语。因此,需要用状语从句和表目的的不定式结构来连接句子。
