六級段落翻譯_長沙

長沙

長沙是一個(gè)有著3000多年歷史的美麗古城。城市的西邊是秀美的岳麓山，山下有千年書院“岳麓書院 （Yuelu Academy）”等眾多古跡。市區(qū)中心的古城樓天心閣 （Tianxin Pavilion），始建于明萬歷年間 （the Wan Li Era of the Ming Dynasty）甚至更早。千百年來水質(zhì)清純、終年不斷的白沙古井也坐落在長沙城中，今天的長沙市民還常常在這里打水飲用。湘江中的橘子洲 （Orange Island）是一個(gè)長約十華里的小島，是長沙市的重要旅游景點(diǎn)，當(dāng)年毛主席經(jīng)常在這里漫步 （ramble）思考 （meditate），《沁園春?長沙》 （Spring in Qin Garden—Changsha ）即寫于此。

翻譯點(diǎn)撥

1. 水質(zhì)清純、終年不斷：譯為clear and pure water has been gushing out all year round，其中g(shù)ush out意為“涌出”，形象而生動(dòng)地描寫了白沙古井中的水。此處使用現(xiàn)在完成進(jìn)行時(shí)態(tài)，表明千百年來一直如此。

2. 打水飲用：文中譯為fetch water for drinking，打水和取水可以用fetch water這個(gè)短語。

3. 旅游景點(diǎn)：文中譯為scenic spot，還可以翻譯成tourist attractions。

4. 漫步思考：漫步此處譯為ramble，這個(gè)詞有“通過漫步愉悅身心”的意思；“思考”此處譯為meditate，這個(gè)詞通常指“默默地深入思考”。
