中國人民始終希望天下太平,希望各國人民友好相處。
The Chinese people are always looking forward to global peace and friendship among all nations.
The Chinese people are always hoping that the world is at peace and people of all nations will coexist friendlily.
一、時(shí)態(tài)原則
時(shí)態(tài)在翻譯中比不像想象中那么簡(jiǎn)單,往往是考試中的一個(gè)難點(diǎn)。時(shí)態(tài)有時(shí)可以體現(xiàn)一種感情因素,特別是進(jìn)行時(shí)的使用,比如在第一個(gè)例子中現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的使用體現(xiàn)出對(duì)中華民族的一種褒揚(yáng)、贊美的口吻,翻譯出了這句話的“精、氣、神”,最后一個(gè)例子中過去進(jìn)行時(shí)時(shí)常表示一種“特有的行為”,通常是偏向于negative的口吻,所以我們發(fā)現(xiàn)這句話十有八九是美國人自己寫的。
中華民族歷來愛好自由和和平。
The Chinese people have always been cherishing freedom and peace.
The Chinese people always cherish freedom and peace.
The Chinese people are always cherishing freedom and peace.
中國過去是、現(xiàn)在是、將來是……
China was and remains to be …
中國人民更深感自由與和平的珍貴。
The Chinese people have cherished freedom and peace than ever.
屆時(shí),……
At that time, ……
到2007年,上海市人均國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值預(yù)計(jì)達(dá)到7500美元。
By 2007, the per capita GDP in Shanghai is expected to reach US$7500.
從而我們可能要生活在一個(gè)根本無法掌控的經(jīng)濟(jì)體制中。
As a result we were going to be living in a fundamentally unmanaged economic system.
畢竟中國、古巴等一些在人權(quán)委員會(huì)中受到以美國為首批評(píng)的國家,總是投票或游說反對(duì)美國政府。
After all, China and Cuba and other targets of U.S. –led criticism in the committee were always going to vote and lobby against Washington.
二、主語確定原則
由于英語是主語顯著語(subject-prominent language),構(gòu)建在主謂軸(subject-predicate pivot)上,主語決定了句法結(jié)構(gòu);漢語為語義性語言,其中主語的重要性相對(duì)較低,無主語的現(xiàn)象比比皆是。因此在漢英轉(zhuǎn)化中最重要的就是確定主語,主語選擇成功了,句子越翻越順;選擇失敗,考生越翻越累。主語的確定歸根結(jié)底有三種方法:使用原主語;重新確定主語;增補(bǔ)主語。
這一目標(biāo)的實(shí)現(xiàn),最直接的應(yīng)該是老百姓住得更寬敞了,更舒服了。
The citizens will live more spaciously and comfortably, benefiting most directly from achieving the goal.
然而,持自由論觀點(diǎn)的民眾和少數(shù)民族反對(duì)一切美國公民必須隨身攜帶身份證的規(guī)定,他們結(jié)成聯(lián)盟,*了立法的最初幾次草案中關(guān)于實(shí)施全國統(tǒng)一身份證的主張。
The idea of a national ID, however, was locked out of earlier drafts of legislation by a coalition of civil rights and ethnic groups, who opposed a requirement that all non-citizens carry identifying documents.
其實(shí),撇開數(shù)學(xué),繞過那一大堆公式,一門學(xué)科的基本思想還是可以被我們理解和欣賞的。
To be frank, if we leave aside mathematics and bypass the abundant formulas, the basic principles of the discipline (of science) are understandable and appreciable.
無論是外人入境,或是文化入侵,政府都已無能為力。
They cannot control who crosses their borders either physically or culturally.
從地雷禁用條款到京都防止氣候變暖條約等一些列問題,美國政府總是對(duì)國際輿論置若罔聞,使得這些(倒戈)國家越來越失望/懊惱。
They have been increasingly chagrined by Washington’s tendency to ignore the international consensus on issues ranging from the use of land mines to the Kyoto climate change treaty.
