  【翻譯原文】

  《清明上河圖》***Along the River during the QingmingFestival***是中國名畫之一。它為北宋***the Northern SongDynasty***畫家張擇端所作。現收藏於故宮博物院***thePalace Museum***。《清明上河圖》寬25.5釐米,長525釐米。畫卷裡,畫家描繪了北宋清明時節都城的自然風光和人們的日常生活。《清明上河圖》內容豐富,繪有大量的人物、樹木、動物、車輛、建築和船隻。因其具有很高的歷史價值和藝術價值,《清明上河圖》被視為國寶。

  1.第2句中的“它為……所作,現收藏於......”如果逐字對譯為比was painted by... and it is kept 稍顯生硬、不夠順暢。宜將前半句處理成狀語用表被動的過去分詞短語來表達,譯作Painted by Zhang Zeduan。“北宋畫家”則用同位語apainter in the Northern Song Dynasty 譯出。

  2.第3句中的“寬25.5釐米,長525釐米”可採用句型...centimeters wide and... centimeters long,也可便用 has a width of... and a length of…句型。

  3.倒數第2句“《清明上河圖》內容豐富,繪有大量的人物、樹木……”宜把前半句處理成主句,後半句用介詞with引出,表伴隨狀態,譯作the painting is rich in contents with a large number of humans,trees...。

  4.最後一句中的“因其具有很髙的歷史價值和藝術價值”可處理成原因狀語,用介詞短語for its very highhistoric and artistic values來表達,使得譯文結構緊湊、語言簡潔。

  【翻譯原文】

  在中國,9月10日的教師節***Teacher's Day***是一個很重要的節日。這一天,人們用各種方式表達對教師的敬意。近年來,許多專家一直希望變更教師節的日期。一些研究中國傳統文化的學者提出,教師節應該有其歷史文化內涵。不久前,相關部門擬將教師節改至9月28日。那天被認為是孔子***Confucius***誕辰日。作為“先時”***First Teacher***,孔子是中國歷史上最重要的教育家及哲學家。

  1.仔細分析發現,第2句“這—天……”跟第1句語義聯絡緊密,故將兩句“合譯”,用on which引導的非限制性定語從句來引出第2句的內容。狀語“用各種方式”用介詞短語比a varietyof ways來表達,置於句末。

  2.第3句“近年來,許多專家一直希望……”時態宜用現在完成進行時,表示動作的延續性,譯作for some recent years,many experts have been hoping to...。

  3.第5和第6句“不久前,相關部門擬……9月28日,那天被認為是……”意義上有關聯,都提到同一日期,宜“合譯”,以9用28日為先行詞,後一句用which引等的定語從句來表達。

  4.最後一句中的狀語“作為‘先師’”用介詞短語as the First Teacher來表達。時間狀語“中國歷史上”按照英文表達習慣將其置於句末,表達為in Chinese history。

  【參考譯文】
