1 The Chinese civilization is one of the oldest in the world.
【解析】在翻譯第一句時要注意中英文表達方式的差異，需要將中文轉(zhuǎn)換成 “中國文明是最古老的之一”或者“中國是世界上最古老的文明古國之一”，這樣就容易理解了。其中“最古老的”可以選用最高級 the oldest進行表達。
2 Many elements that make up the foundation of the modern world stem from China.
【解析】“構(gòu)成現(xiàn)代世界基礎的”作為定語形容“許多元素”，而該定語中包含動詞“構(gòu)成”，因此考慮采用定語從句;其中“構(gòu)成”可以選擇固定搭配短語 make up，即“that make up the foundation of the modern world”。“起源于，來源于”有固定搭配“come from”、“stem from”以及“date from”等。
3/4 Now, experiencing a new industrial revolution，China has the world’s most fast growing economy.
【解析】3/4 兩句從邏輯上考慮可以合并成一個包含并列結(jié)構(gòu)的句子，或者合并成并列句。進一步簡化，可以將其中一個分句修改成現(xiàn)在分詞短語做伴隨狀語的形式，使得句式不再單一，行文更為流暢，也就是“experiencing a new industrial revolution，China has……”或者“having the world’s most fast growing economy，China is experiencing……”
5 China has also launched an ambitious plan to explore the space, including establishing a space station by 2020.
【解析】“啟動計劃”可以選用短語“launch a plan”;“雄心勃勃的”譯為“ambitious”;“太空搜索”作為“計劃”的定語，可以采取to do 不定式做后置定語，譯為“to explore the space”;“包括……”通常譯為 “include……”，此處作為伴隨狀語，采用“including……”的形式。
6 For now, China is one of the greatest exporters around the world, which is attracting large amounts of foreign investment.
【解析】該劇從句式結(jié)構(gòu)層面分析，可以寫成并列句或包含并列結(jié)構(gòu)的句子，但不難發(fā)現(xiàn)前后兩個半句主語一致，因此我們還可以考慮將其中一個改寫為定語從句的形式，例如對后半句進行從句改寫，考慮到句中時態(tài)“正在”，選用現(xiàn)在進行時，就可以得到“which is attracting large amounts of foreign investment”，注意由于引導詞是China，與從句分割開來，因此可以采用非限制性定語從句來進行表達，也就是“，which”的形式。
7 Meanwhile, it has invested billions of dollars abroad as well.
【解析】“數(shù)十億”是一個虛數(shù)，不是確切的數(shù)字，可以選用“billions of”這樣的經(jīng)典表達方式。“在海外投資”直接可以譯成“invest abroad”，因為“abroad”本身就是副詞，意為“在海外地;在國外地”。
8 In 2011, China surpassed Japan, becoming the world’s second largest economy.
【解析】翻譯該句，首先從時間上判定，應當選用過去時態(tài);而從句子結(jié)構(gòu)的構(gòu)建角度分析，句中存在“超越”和“成為”兩個動詞，從邏輯上兩個動作還是同時發(fā)生，因此可以考慮采用并列結(jié)構(gòu)或者是將其中一個改為伴隨狀語，即“China surpassed Japan and became the world’s second largest economy”或者是“China surpassed Japan, becoming the world’s second largest economy”。

解析：2015 年 6 月的四級翻譯題目“中國”又是一篇有關文化的段落。而這些我們在課上都作為重點復習內(nèi)容和大家分享了，相信大家看到這樣的文字肯定很高興吧，下面我對這篇翻譯文字做一分析，希望能幫大家了解。
“中國是世界上最古老的文明之一。”句中 “是”說明這是一個主系表結(jié)構(gòu)的句子。最古老：the most ancient。“…之一”：on of +名詞的復數(shù)。所以第一句話就是：China is one of the most ancient cultures in the world.“構(gòu)成現(xiàn)代世界基礎的許多元素都起源于中國。” 主干是“元素起源于中國”這里起源可用 come from/derive from/originate from/stem from 等，其他的都是定語，“現(xiàn)代世界基礎”就是“現(xiàn)代世界的基礎”，“A 的 B”翻譯過來就是“B of A”,定語中有動詞“構(gòu)成”可將它翻譯成定語從句：The various elements which make up of the foundation of modern world derives from China. 還可以省略成分詞作定語后置：The various elements making up of the foundation of modern world derives from China.“中國現(xiàn)在擁有世界上最快的經(jīng)濟并正經(jīng)歷著一次新的工業(yè)革命。”“經(jīng)歷”可用 experience/ go through/ undergo 等，“新的工業(yè)革命”就是：new industrial revolution。全句是：Nowadays China possesses the rapidest economy of the world, at the same time, it is undergoing a new industrial revolution.“中國還啟動了雄心勃勃的太空探索計劃，其中包括到 2020 年建成一個太空站。”主干是“中國啟動了計劃”，翻譯過來就是：China started a project. 其余都是修飾語。整句話可譯為：China also started an ambitious project of space exploration including one space station built in 2020. 其中，“built in 2020.”又是定語從句省略成分詞做定語的情況。“目前，中國是世界最大的出口國之一，并正在吸引大量外國投資。同時，它也在海外投資 10 億美元。”這個句子較長，但我們可以找出邏輯關系，它一邊吸收投資一邊自己投資，我們可以用“while”這個詞，表轉(zhuǎn)折也表進行。故可譯為：At present, China is one of the biggest exporting countries.It is absorbing a large amount of investment while investing 1billion dollars overseas. 最后一句“2011 年，中國超越日本成為世界第二大經(jīng)濟體。”中有兩個動詞，我們可以將它們譯成并列句：China surpassed Japan and became the second largest economic entity in the world.
