1. 第一句句子结构较为复杂,翻译时首先理清句子主干,然后补充修饰成分。句子主干
为:中小学教育需要花费l2年的时间来完成。“在中国”为地点状语,“分为小学??阶段”为伴随状语。“花费??时问”用take?to?表达,“分为”暗含被动含义,故用过去分词divided into.表被动。
2.第二句中的“持续”可译为last for。“或”可以用固定短语either?or?表示。 3.第三句中“极少数”译为with a tiny part of;为了避免重复,后面的一个分句省略了动词have,直接用with短语表伴随。 4.第四句中,“入学”可以译为be enrolled in。
5.第五句中,“9年教育”译为The nine-year schooling;“属于”可以用固定搭配belong to来表达;“义务教育”译为compulsory education。

如果说我确实有所成就的话,那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就会成功。遇到挫折时,你可以暂时把问题放一放,一味纠结不仅无济于事,有时反倒使情况更糟。先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番;再回头看待问题,你或许会感到柳暗花明。这样做后,别忘了多加反省:“为什么这个方法会奏效?下次能不能做得更好呢?”看你定的是什么目标,这种方法可以被反复有效应用。如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己,最后成功肯定非你莫属。孜孜不倦向来无敌。
如果说我确实有所成就的话,那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就会成功。
The only reason I’ve managed to accomplish anything is because I am a firm believer in continuous improvement.
翻译这个句子的时候,用了句式the only reason is...because,大家看到汉语“如果说......”可能会一下头脑晕掉,不知道怎么来翻译,但换一个方式,不用if等其它表示如果的单词或词组,也不失为一种迂回翻译的好方法哦。 注意:
我坚信: I am a firm believer (汉语的动词翻译成英文成了“形容词+名词”的形式,亲,你翻译的时候会不会这么做呢?)
遇到挫折时,你可以暂时把问题放一放,一味纠结不仅无济于事,有时反倒使情况更糟。 If you fail in something, distance from the event for a day or two, because agonizing over the problem will not make it go away (and will make it a lot worse). 遇到挫折:fail in something
暂时:for a day or two(for a day or two有时并不仅仅指一两天,还可以表示暂时哦)
纠结:agonizing over the problem
先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番;再回头看待问题,你或许会感到柳暗花明。
Read a good book, catch up with some friends you haven’t seen in a long time, or go on a nature hike. You will be able to look at the issue with a fresh perspective. 柳暗花明:a fresh perspective(将汉语里的成语翻译成英文,很多时候都找不到固定的英语翻译,我们就可以根据意思,用自己熟悉的单词或词组来表示它的意思,只要保证意思不变就可以哦)
户外骑游:go on a nature hike
这样做后,别忘了多加反省:“为什么这个方法会奏效?下次能不能做得更好呢?” After you have done that, ask yourself: “Why did this work out and how can Ido better next time?” 奏效:work out
看你定的是什么目标,这种方法可以被反复有效应用。如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己,最后成功肯定非你莫属。孜孜不倦向来无敌。
This process very well could repeat itself several times depending on the nature of your goal, but if you keep making a firm commitment to continuously improve yourself, you will develop so much that the only option left is success. Consistent hustle always wins.
最后这句翻译,用but把汉语的两个句子衔接起来,不失为一种极好的衔接方式。而且大家注意下我已经标红的very well could repeat,本来可以是could repeat very well,但very well放到前面更地道,大家平时可以多看一些翻译资料,多多积累,自然就会翻译出地道的英文咯~
翻译原文:
总结一年来的工作,我们清醒地看到,经济社会发展中还存在不少问题和困难。必须坚持把人民群众利益放在第一位。要切实维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益,着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题,保障城乡困难群众的基本生活。不断满足人们日益增长的物质文化需要,是社会主义现代化建设的根本目的。只有执政为民,我们的各项事业才能获得最广泛最可靠的群众基础和力量源泉。 参考翻译及详解:
总结一年来的工作,我们清醒地看到,经济社会发展中还存在不少问题和困难。 In reviewing our work of the past year, we clearly see that many problems and difficulties remain in our economic and social development.
总结用review,在这里用了现在分词形式,不失为一种简单而又正式的方式。在后半句的翻译中,英文和汉语语序整体大相反,注意“经济社会发展”的表达方式:in economic and social development.
必须坚持把人民群众利益放在第一位。
We must always put the interests of the people first. 这句话翻译起来比较简单,注意“把......放在第一位”put...first。
要切实维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益,着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题,保障城乡困难群众的基本生活。
We must truly protect the people‘s economic, political and cultural rights and interests, pay particular attention to solving acute problems affecting their vital interests, and ensure that poor urban and rural residents have the basic necessities of life.
翻译整段,必然会有个别长句,这就需要我们把握整体结构,表明大意即可。 这段话是很正式的会议截取,所以咱们翻译时很多词组或者句子结构都是有据可循的。比如这句“着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题”,翻译的时候,没有完全按照汉语语序,而是把“关系群众切身利益”翻译为现在分词作后置定语结构 affecting their vital interests。 注意固定词组与句式:
维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益 protect the people‘s economic, political and cultural rights and interests
着力解决......pay particular attention to solving (记住,pay attention to doing/sth 这个固定结构)
不断满足人们日益增长的物质文化需要,是社会主义现代化建设的根本目的。 The fundamental goal of our socialist modernization drive is to continually meet the growing material and cultural needs of the people.
这句话翻译出来,也是将汉语语序颠倒后进行的翻译。用了to do不定式做表语。这句话大家可以完全背诵下来。
只有执政为民,我们的各项事业才能获得最广泛最可靠的群众基础和力量源泉。 Only if we exercise power for the good of the people can we enjoy the broadest and most reliable support from the people and draw from them the strength for accomplishing all our undertakings.
只有......才......这个结构需要用到英文结构only if。后半句汉语很复杂,所以英语翻译时,用了两个and连接的分句,来更清楚正确地表达汉语的意思。 注意固定词组与句式:
执政为民 exercise power for the good of the people 我们的各项事业 all our undertakings
翻译原文:
和平稳定是发展的前提和基础。上个世纪,人类经历了两次世界大战,生灵涂炭, 经济社会发展遭受严重挫折。第二次世界大战结束以来,世界经济能够快速增长,主要 得益于相对和平稳定的国际环境。
我们应该恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则,充分发挥联合国及其安理会在维护和平、缔 造和平、建设和平方面的核心作用。坚持通过对话和协商,以和平方式解决国际争端。
