2.仔细分析可发现,第3句“这是因为中国人将红色看作是幸福、成功和好运的象征”中的“这”指代前面—句的论述,故可以将此句和前一句合译，用表原因的连词for引出状语从句for they...。“红色”在翻译时要增译thecolor才符合英语“形合”的特点。定语“幸福、成功和好运的”较长，故将其处理成后置定语，用of引出，表达为of haziness, success, and good luck。

3.第5句中的主语“邀请亲朋好友来参加婚礼”可用分词短语

Invitingrelatives and Mends to the wedding 来表达。主谓人称和数相一致的原则，此处主语是指一件事情，故谓语用第三人称单数形式。 4.最后一句“声音通常很响，响到足以......”，如果逐字对译为

the sound is always loud, and loud enoughto...译文显晦涩，按英语避免重复的表达习惯，“省译”一个loud。

Traditional Chinese weddings reflect Chinese philosophy. People always fill their weddings with

red things to express blessings and respects, for they regard the color red as the symbol of

happiness, success, and good luck A marriage is not only a combination of the couple but also

the symbol of the unity of two families. Inviting relatives and friends to the wedding symbolizes

the relationships and the formality between people. The sound of musical instruments in the

wedding usually loud enough to make nature know and to demonstrate the importance of the marriage.

第九篇 胡同

胡同(Hutong)是北京的一大特色，有着与北京城一样久远的历史。最早的胡同出现在元朝(the YuanDynasty)，如今大部分胡同是在明清时代(the Ming and Dynasties)形成的。据专家考证，“胡同”一词源 干蒙古语(Mongolian)的“井”。自古以来胡同都是北京城里普通市民生息的场所，可以说是北京平民文化的代表。但随着人口的增加，很多古老的胡同已经消失，取而代之的是现代化的却没有特色的高楼大厦。

1.第1句中的“有着与北京城一样久远的历史”用介词短语

witha history as long as that of Bering city 来表达，以插入语形式置于主语之后，这样整个句子的中心更突出。

2.第2句“最早的胡同出现在……”翻译时转换成“胡同最早出现

在……”(Hutong first appeared..)更符合英语的表达习惯。“胡同是在明、清时代形成的”虽然形式上是主动的，但意义上却表被动，故翻译时转换成被动讲态，译作 Hutongs were formed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties。

6 / 8

3.第4句“自古以来胡同都是......”用完成时态Hutong has always been...与since ancient times搭配，很好地表达了这种状态的延续性。

4.最后一句中的“取而代之的是现代化的却没有特色的高楼大厦”如果逐字对译为and are replaced by themodern but not characterized high-rise buildings则显生硬，不如选用意为“给......让出地方”的短语tomake way for来作前一个分句的目的状语，这样译文更生动流畅。

Hutong, with a history as long as that of Beijing city, is a major feature of Beijing. Hutong first appeared during the Yuan Dynasty, and most of today's Hutongs were formed during the Mingand Qing Dynasties. According to experts, the word \meaning \times and it's said to be a representative of Beijing civilian culture. However, with the increase of the population, many old Hutongs have disappeared to make way for modem but not characterized high-rise buildings. 风水

风水(Fengshui)是一门使人与环境达到和谐的艺术，是中国哲学在环境上的反映。人们相信自然环境影响人的命运。他们期望通过调整建筑的设计与布局，达到人与环境和谐，并使人得益于环境。风水也有迷信（superstition）的一面。如今风水在中国城市的年轻人中已不太时兴，但在中国的农村、香港、台湾地区以及新加坡和马来西亚，风水仍然流行。

1.第1句含有两个分句，翻译时可把前一个分句“是……艺术”看作“风水”的同位语译出，后一个分句作为句子的主干。定语“一门使人与环境达到和谐的”和“中国哲学在环境上的”都较长，可采用“n + of +... ”的所有格形式，表所属。

2.第3句分句较多，信息较零散，但仔细分析可发现达到人与环境和谐，并使人得益于环境”是目的，而“通过调整建筑的设计与摆设”是方式，故翻译本句时宜改变句子的语序，把表示目的内容作为句子的主干,而“通过调整”则译成through引导的方式状语置后。 3.第4句“风水也有迷信的一面”，可译成“be of + n.”的结构，强调“具有......特性”。 4.在最后一句中，地点状语“在……马来西亚”很长，故翻译时将其置于句末，避免句子头重脚轻，也更符合英语的表达习惯。

Fengshui, an art of harmonizing people with their environment, is the reflection of Chinese philosophy in environment. People believe that the natural environment affects people's fortunes. They expect to achieve harmony with the environment, and benefit from it

through adjusting the design and layout of their houses. Fengshui is also of superstition on its side. Nowadays it is not much popular with young Chinese in the cities, but it is still welcomed in Chinese rural areas, Hong Kong and Taiwan as well as countries like Singapore and Malaysia.

第十一篇 道教

道教(Taoism)是中国土生土长的宗教，已经影响了中国人两千多年。道教有三个起源，最古老的是“黄帝”（Yellow Emperor）传说。第二个来源是庄子的作品。但最著名的是老子的《道德经》。道家强调自由、自然、修身养性(self-cultivation)，甚至追求永生(immortality)。道教对中国文化的许多领域都产生了深刻而持久的影响，包括艺术、哲学、医学和美食，并在东亚地区广泛流传。

1.第1句有两个分句，其主语都是“道教”译时可选用其中一个分句作为句子的主句，另一分句处理成状语或定语从句。译文把后半句“已经影响......”处理成定语从句，修饰

7 / 8

religion，使句子结构紧凑连贯，Taoism a...religion that has shaped...。“影响了中国人”译为 shape Chinese life 比直译为 affect Chinese 要准确贴切。

2.第2句的主干是“道教有三个起源”,后半句“最古老的是……”意思独立，可用介词with加独立主格结构表伴随状态，译作

with the oldest being the legend of “Yellow Emperor”，表达简洁流畅，符合英文的行文特点。

3.第3、4句均较短，且意思联系紧密，都是讲述道教的起源，故合译成一句，用表对比的while连接。

4.翻译中遇到的人名和作品的名称均可以用汉语拼音译出，如老子译成Laozi,《道徳经》译成Dao De Jing。

5.最后一句的主干为“道教……产生……影响，……并在……广泛流传”,可译成and连接的并列句。但因前半句较长而后半句较短，句子结构不平衡，宜将后半句拆译处理，另起一句，译作It has also spread widely...状语“对中国文化的许多领域”表达为

in many fields of Chinese culture；“包括艺术、哲学......”是对“许多领域”的补充说明，用分词短语including the arts, philosophy...来表达。

Taoism is a Chinese native religion that has shaped Chinese life for more than 2,000 years.

There are three sources of Taoism's origin, with the oldest being the legend of \Emperor\i's DaoDe Jing. Taoism emphasizes freedom, nature, self-cultivation and even pursues immortality.

Taoism has had a deep and lasting influence in many fields of Chinese culture, including the

arts, philosophy, medicine, and cuisine. It has also spread widely throughout East Asia.
