2013年12月大学英语六级考试真题(一)答案详解

Part 4 Translation

参考译文与难点注释

The Chinese garden has become a landscape of unique style after an evolution for more than 3 000 years. It

includes not only the large gardens built as entertainment venues for the royal family, but also the private gardens

built as secluded retreats for scholars, merchants and retired government officials. These gardens have constituted

a miniature designed to express the harmonious relationship between man and nature. A typical Chinese garden is

surrounded by walls, and in the garden there are ponds, rockwork, trees, flowers and all kinds of buildings linked

by winding trails and corridors. Wandering in the gardens, people may feel that a series of well-designed scenery

spreads out before us like a landscape scroll.

1. 第一句中，"三千多年演变"可以译成an evolution for more than 3 000 years,不能译成 more than 3

000 years of evolution;"独具一格的"可以用单个 形容词unique来表达，也可以用短语of unique style来表达。

2. 第二句中，"既……也……"可以套用固定结构not only.. .but also...来表达广为皇室成员享乐而建 造的"转译成更为地道的表达方式built as entertainment venues for ..;同样为摆脱嘈杂的外部世界而建造的"也进行了类似的处理。

3. 第三句中,长定语"一种意在表达人与自然之间应 有的和谐关系的",可以使用定语从句表达。为了使行文简洁，可以简化成过去分词结构，即 designed to express...。

4. 第四句中四周有围墙"用被动句式译出，更符合 英语的表达习惯，故译作is surrounded by walls；"园内有……"应该使用there be句型译出，考虑到 表语部分较长,可以将状语部分in the garden提前至句首;长定语"蜿蜒的小路和走廊连接的"可以用定语从句译出或直接简化成过去分词结构，即 linked by winding

trails and corridors.

5. 第五句中漫步在花园中"译成前置状语,但是播 要使用现在分词结构；人们看到的内容可以用that

引导的宾语从句来表达，"展现"一词可以用短语 spread out表达,富有韵味。
