问题     皮影戏(shadow play)是中国的一种民间艺术,拥有悠久的历史。皮影戏所需要的演员是用牛皮做的皮影人形,由一个或几个人控制着,并用光将它们反射到幕布上。皮影戏在陕西和甘肃地区最为流行,经常在庙会、婚礼和葬礼等场合演出。皮影戏是用来驱邪的,人们希望皮影戏的演出能给他们带来好运。精致生动的皮影人形已经成为一种收藏品,深受外国人的喜爱。

选项

答案 Shadow play is a form of Chinese folk art with a long history. The actors or actresses in a shadow play are figures made of cow leather. Being controlled by one or several persons, these figures are reflected via light on the screen. Shadow play is most popular in the area of Shanxi and Gansu Provinces and often performed in the temple fairs, wedding ceremonies and funeral ceremonies, etc. With the purpose of driving out evil spirits, people wish that the performance of shadow play will bring them good fortune. Delicate and vivid shadow figures have become a kind of collection and are greatly loved by foreigners.

解析 1.第1句可用并列结构译出(Shadow play is a…and has a…),但不如把后半句“拥有……”处理成后置定语,用介词短语with a long history表达来得简洁。
2.第2句较长,可将其拆译成两个句子。在“皮影戏所需要的演员”中,定语“所需要”可以省略不译,译成Theactors or actresses in a shadow play...即可将意思表达清楚。“用牛皮做的”可译为过去分词短语madeof…,作figures的后置定语,使句子结构清晰简洁。在翻译“由……,并……”时,需补充主语“皮影人形”。其中前半句可处理成方式状语,用现在分词短语的被动语态来表达,译作Being controlled by…;“用光”表方式,可译为via light。
3.在第3句中,“陕西”和“甘肃”宜补译性质Province(省);“经常在……等场合演出”为无被动标识词的被动句,应译为is performed in…,并可承前省略is。
4.第4句中的“皮影戏是用来驱邪的”可处理为原因状语,译作With the purpose of driving out evilspirits;“皮影戏的演出能给他们带来好运”作“希望”(wish)的宾语,可用that引导的宾语从句来表达,译为(that)the performance of shadow play will…。
