话题材料:
请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
2017050310421522112.jpg
传统中医(traditional Chinese medicine)可以不借助任何仪器给病人治病,堪称奇迹。“望”、“闻”、“问”、(pulse taking)为传统中医诊断的四个方法。“望”指通过直接观察病人体表来了解情况。“闻”,就是听声音、 闻气味(odour),病人的发声和气味有助于医生收集诊断信息。“问”为咨询症状及先前的治疗情况。“切”即医生给病人“把脉”从而得知病人体内的变化。
参考译文:
It is a wonder that doctors of traditional Chinese medicine could cure patients without any equipment. The four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine consist of observing, listening and smelling, inquiring and pulse taking. Observing indicates that doctors directly watch the outward appearance to find out a patient's condition. Listening and smelling refers to listening the sound and smelling the odour of the patient, which is helpful for doctors to collect messages to diagnose. Inquiring suggests that doctors question the patient so as to know the symptoms and previous treatments. Pulse taking refers that doctors measure the pulse condition of patients to know their internal change.
1.第1句句末的“堪称奇迹”,是对句子主干内容的补充说明,故可处理成非限制性定语从句which is a wonder,置于句末;也可将其处理成It is a wonder that..句型,将原文的主句部分处理成that引导的同位语从句。
2.第2句中的“望”、“闻”、“问”是翻译的难点,考生不能只看其字面义就译成seeing, smelling和asking,而需根据下文给出的具体定义来翻译。由下文可知,“望”实际是指观察病人,故可译为observing;“闻”包括“听”和“闻”两方面,故译为listening and smelling;“问”指咨询、询问病人,故译为inquiring。
3.最后四句对“望”、“闻”、“问”、“切”分别进行了解释,如果逐句对译为observing is...,listening and smelling is...,inquiring is...,pulse taking is...,则重复使用了is,显单调。译文采用了三个不同的谓语动词indicate refer to, suggest,行文更生动。
4.第4句有两个分句,其中后一个分句“病人的发声和气味有助于医生收集诊断信息”是对前面分句内容的补充说明,故将其处理成which引导的非限制性定语从句。
以上就是文都四六级考试网小编为各位考生总结的英语四级翻译模拟题,希望各位考生多多练习,争取在2017年6月的英语四六级考试中取得好成绩~
