大学英语翻译题

下面是我整理的，希望对大家有帮助。

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

中国独有的文书工具***calligraphic tools***,即笔、墨、纸、砚***ink stone***,被称为“文房四宝"***Four Treasures ofthe Study***。从名称上，我们不难看出中国的书法家和画家珍视它们的程度。尽管这四种工具已经发生了演变，人们仍然相信，如果不使用传统的文房四宝，中国艺术作品就出不了杰作。其他东方国家也继承了中国的这个传统，比如日本。也许这就是为什么日本书法和绘画与中国书法和国画很相似的原因。

参考翻译:

Chinese particular calligraphic tools include brush,ink,paper and ink stone,which are known as "FourTreasures of the Study”.We can easily tell how Chinese calligraphers and painters value them fromthe name.Despite the evolution of the four tools,it is believed that no Chinese artwork can be amasterpiece without using the traditional four treasures.Other oriental nations such as Japan hasinherited this Chinese tradition.Maybe that's why Japanese calligraphy and Japanese paintingresemble Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting.

1.尽管这四种工具已经发生了演变，人们仍然相信，如果不使用传统的文房四宝，中国艺术作品就出不了杰作：“演变”可译为evolution。该词常用于以下片语中：evolution theory ***进化论***、social evolution***社会进化***、evolution of market***市场演变***。“人们仍然相信”可译为it is believed that…;“如果不使用...”可以不用if从句，而用without短语表达，即without using...。

2.其他东方国家也继承了中国的这个传统，比如日本：“继承”可译为inherit。succeed也能表示“继承”。“东方国家”可译为oriental nation。

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

转基因食品***genetically modified foods***是通过基因工程的方法对生物体的DNA作特定改变并由此产出的食品。这些技术允许引入新的作物性状，对于食物基因结构的掌控也比之前的方法，如选择性育种、诱变育种***mutation breeding***大。中国已经成为世界上最大的大豆***soybean***进口国，购买60%的全球交易大豆。这些进口大豆大部分是转基因品种。在中国，有对关于转基因食品的激烈的公开辩论。

参考翻译

Genetically modified foods are foods produced from organi *** s that have had specific changesintroduced into their DNA using the methods of genetic engineering.These techniques have allowedthe introduction of new crop traits as well as a far greater control over the food's genetic structurethan previous methods such as selective breeding and mutation breeding.China has bee theworld s largest soybean importer, buying about 60% of the globally traded soybeans.Most of thoseimported soybeans are genetically modified varieties.In China, there is a fierce public debate ongenetically modified food.

1.转基因食品是通过基因工程的方法对生物体的DNA作特定改变并由此产出的食品:这句话较长，经分析其主干为“转基因食品是…食品”，即Genetically modified foods are...foods。“通过基因工程的方法”可作方式状语，放在句子最后，即using the methods of genetic engineering;“对生物体的 DNA 作特定改变”可译为have had specific changes introduced into their DNA。

2.这些技术允许引入新的作物性状，对于食物基因结构的掌控也比之前的方法，如选择性育种、诱变育种大:“允许引入…”翻译为allow the introduction of...;“新的作物性状”可用new crop traits表达，trai表示“特性，性状”;“对于…的掌控”可译为control over...;“选择性育种、诱变育种”可译为 selective breeding andmutation breeding。

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

中国幅员辽阔，国土横跨多个纬度***degrees of latitude***,地势***terrain***复杂，气候变化十分明显。中国是一个庞大的国家，疆土一望无际，其居民数量众多，且民族多种多样。中国国土面积仅次于俄罗斯和加拿大，位居世界第三，占据了亚洲约四分之一的面积。中国有多个温度和降雨量分布区，包括大陆季风气候区***continentalmonsoon areas***。中国的气候具有明显的四季特征，因此冬夏温差显著。

1.横跨多个纬度，地势复杂:“维度”用degrees of latitude表示，“横跨多个维度”译为span many degreesof latitude; “地势复杂”可译为 plicated terrain。注:“经度”为 degrees of longitude。

2.中国是一个庞大的国家，疆土一望无际，其居民数量众多，且民族多种多样:这句的主干可翻译为China isa huge country with...。“疆土一望无际”可用endless territory表示，territory表示“领土，领域”;“民族”翻译为ethnic groups。
