选项

答案Coming to the Yale campus with its distinctive academic flavor and seeing so many young students who brim with high spirits, I cannot help recalling my great experience at Tsinghua University in Beijing 40 years ago. Today, I still benefit greatly from the instruction of my teachers and my inspiration from my fellow students then. Yale is renowned for its long history, unique style of education and excellence in academic pursuit. If time could go back several decades, I would really like to be a student of Yale just like you. Yale’s motto, "Light and Truth", which is a calling for human progress, represents the aspiration of every motivated young man and woman.

解析 1.进入耶鲁大学的校园,看到莘莘学子青春洋溢的脸庞,呼吸着书香浓郁的空气,我不由回想起40年前在北京清华大学度过的美好时光。
译文:Coming to the Yale campus with its distinctive academic flavor and looking at the eager young faces in the audience,I cannot but recall my great experience at Tsinghua University in Beijing 40 years ago.
本句的短语:“进入耶鲁大学的校园”,“看到莘莘学子青春洋溢的脸庞”,均可以翻译成英文句子中的非谓语动词现在分词短语“Coming to the Yale campus with its distinctive academic flavor and looking at the eager young faces in the audience”作伴随状态,“呼吸着书香浓郁的空气”其中呼吸可以省略不译,“书香浓郁的空气”可以翻译成一个介宾短语“with its distinctive academic flavor”作定语修饰一下“campus”,主句中“不由得……”在英语中可以用cannot but do sth.或者cannot help doing sth.结构来表达。莘莘学子,就是刻苦认真学习的学生,翻译成“industrious students或者young students who brim with high spirit”。“美好时光”在本句中指的是学习的经历,引申译成“my great experience at Tsinghua University”。
2.当年老师们对我的教诲,同学们给我的启发,我至今仍受用不尽。
译文:Today,I still benefit greatly from the instruction of my teachers and my inspiration from my fellow students back then.
本句采用逆序翻译法。“当年老师们对我的教诲,同学们给我的启发”翻译成英文句子的宾语,受用不尽,受益匪浅均可以翻译成“benefit greatly from”。
3.耶鲁大学以悠久的发展历史、独特的办学风格、卓著的学术成就闻名于世。
译文:Yale is renowned for its long history,unique style of education and excellence in academic pursuit.
以……闻名于世,成语简单理解后,用相应的英语单词表达“be renowned for…”。
4.如果时光能够倒流几十年,我真希望成为你们中的一员。
译文:If time could go back several decades,1 would really like to be a student of Yale just like you.
本句不难看出是虚拟语气结构,在英语翻译中采用相应的虚拟语气句型结构,“时光倒流”简单译成“time could go back”。
5.耶鲁大学校训强调追求光明和真理,这符合人类进步的法则,也符合每个有志青年的心愿。
译文:Yale’s motto,“Light and Truth”,which is a calling for human progress,represents the aspiration of every motivated young man and woman.
“校训强调追求光明和真理”,其中“强调追求”均省略不译,译成名词短语作同位语,汉语中的两个“符合”,在英语中的短语“in conformity with”和“be consistent with”,但本句中的“符合”根据语意表达有需求,需要引申理解为号召和代表的意思,译为“a calling for human progress”和“represents the aspiration of every motivated young man and woman”。
