问题     昆曲(Kunqu)是中国最古老的戏曲剧种之一,起源于元朝末年(the late Yuan Dynasty)江苏昆山地区。昆曲的表演有它独特的体系和风格。它最大的特点就是感情丰富,歌唱和舞蹈巧妙结合。许多昆曲剧目都是歌颂浪漫的古代爱情故事。昆曲代表作《牡丹亭》(The Peony Pavilion)是中国戏曲文学中的不朽之作。如今人们对保护传统文化的呼吁将有助于昆曲重新走向繁荣。

选项

答案 Kunqu is one of the oldest Chinese operas. It was born in the late Yuan Dynasty in Kunshan area, Jiangsu Province. The performance of Kunqu has its unique system and style. It is most characterized by its rich emotion and skillful combination of singing and dancing. Many works of Kunqu praise the romantic ancient love stories. The Peony Pavilion, the representative work of Kunqu, is ever lasting in Chinese drama literature. Now, the appeal for protecting traditional culture would help Kunqu back to its prosperity again.

解析 1.第1句中的两个分句所用时态不一致,第1个分句用一般现在时,第2个分句用一般过去时,宜将其拆译。“剧种”是汉语中表范畴的词汇,汉译英时可以省略不译。翻译“江苏昆山地区”时应按照英语的表达习惯,将地点从小到大排列,译作Kunshan area,Jiangsu Province,要增译出“江苏”的性质Province。
2.第3句中的“最大的特点就是”可直译为the biggest characteristic is…,但不如用it is mostcharacterized by its…来得生动、地道。
3.在倒数第2句中,主语的中心词是“《牡丹亭》”,可把“昆曲代表作”处理成同位语,译作the representativework of Kunqu。
4.在最后一句中,“对……的呼吁”可用名词短语appeal for…来表达,“保护传统文化”作为“呼吁”的具体内容,接在介词for之后即可,译为for protecting traditional culture;“有助于”表达为help(to);“重新走向繁荣”表目的,既可译为不定式短语(to)become prosperous again,也可译为back to its prosperityagain。
