问题     在中国,动物被赋予了独特的象征意义。例如:在中国传统文化中,金鱼象征财富。中国人过春节(the Spring Festival)时,最常见的年画(New Year Picture)就是一个大胖小子怀抱一条大金鱼,取意“富裕和谐”。在中国的传说中,蝴蝶象征着恋人之间至死不渝的爱情。虎在中国文化中是尊贵、力量和勇气的象征。在某些少数民族(ethnic minority)文化中,人们认为燕子成对出现能够带来美满婚姻与幸福生活。

选项

答案 In China, animals are endowed with special symbolic meanings. For example, the goldfish means abundance of gold in traditional Chinese culture. In the Spring Festival, one of the most popular New Year Pictures is a plump baby holding a large goldfish which represents both wealth and harmony. Chinese legend has it that the butterfly symbolizes an undying bond between lovers. The tiger is seen as an emblem of dignity, power and courage. In the culture of some ethnic minorities, the presence of swallow in pairs is a blessing, which signifies happiness to a marriage and good luck to a family.

解析 1.在第一句中,“被赋予”可译为be endowed with,“象征意义”可译为symbolic meanings。
2.在第二句中,“象征”可译为谓语动词means,也可以用symbolizes,represents,signifies等表示。
3.第三句中,“大胖小子”译为a plump baby,这里的“胖”也可以用chubby,但不宜用fat。
4.“在中国的传说中,蝴蝶……爱情”这句可以用同位语从句表示,即Chinese legend has it thatthe butterfly…lovers,也可以译为According to Chinese legend,the butterfly…lovers.
5.末句中的“燕子成对出现”译为the presence of swallow in pairs。
