阶段复习

今天是第三周第一天,处于假期中,所以抓娃娃的某君调整下,今天没有新任务,是前段时间的一个阶段复习。

很多童鞋给我讲看到上周五的任务,感觉到语法词汇不够用啊,哈哈哈哈,别着急,仔细看分析也是很好的学习。

第二周的娃娃是Kitty滴,@Kitty

分析

汉译英

1. 当前我国人才总量不足,人才结构不合理,劳动力素质不高,严重影响了社会经济的发展。

翻译:Currently, China's shortage of trained personnel, unreasonable personnel structure and poor quality of labor force have severely affected the social and economic development.

分析:

1) 当前,目前,使用副词currently;

2) “我国人才总量不足”,换个说法就是“中国的不足”,不足在哪方面呢?用介词词组of trained personnel来修饰。

3) 人才结构不合理=不合理的人才结构,不合理的,使用形容词unreasonable。

4) 劳动力素质不高,其实讲劳动力方面“质量比较低”,即“poor quality of labor force”。

5) 前面这一堆名词短语作主语,谓语动词使用完成时态,因为过去就存在这些问题,对现在产生了影响。

2. 欧洲、日本、美国的科学技术在经济发展中的贡献率达70%以上,属于技术密集型经济。

翻译:Science and technology contributes to over 70% of the economic growth in Europe, the US and Japan, whose economies are technology-intensive.

分析:

1) 科学技术,这两个词好查,不多说;

英文表达,就把定语“欧洲、日本、美国的”转变为介词词组,后置。因此表达逻辑转变为“科学技术对经济发展率贡献了70%,在欧洲、日本、美国的”;

2) 用表达所属关系的关系代词whose来引导非限制性定语从句是本句的亮点,这一点不是很好想。

3. 而我国的经济发展主要依靠低廉的劳动力和资源的大量消耗,科学技术的贡献率不到40%,属于劳动密集型经济。

翻译:China's economic growth mainly depends on cheap labor force and huge consumption of resources, yet science and technology contributes to less than 40%, and China's economy is labor-intensive.

分析:

1) “A 主要依靠B”,使用词组depend on,副词mainly,主要地;

2) 廉价的劳动力,cheap labor force,force这里指“…力量”,例如“武装力量”用armed forces。

3) 资源的大量消耗,这里需要落到具体语境分析。发展生产力肯定是需要消耗资源,这里的消耗内在含义更偏向于“党费”,因此动词名词化,使用名词词组“huge consumption of resources”。

4. 差距主要体现在劳动力素质和科学技术上。

翻译:The gap mainly lies in the quality of labor force and science and technology.

分析:

这一句结构不复杂,但是很实用,可以造出一大片句子,比如:

谈学习“学习习惯的差距主要体现在听课时的集中度和课后作业完成质量”;

谈园艺“这两盆植物的生产差异主要体现在光照和土壤肥力”。

以上两个句子,看看哪个小伙伴能写出来,增加得到娃娃的概率哦。

5. 因此,必须大力发展教育事业,培养高层次人才。

翻译:Therefore, it is necessary to develop the cause of education and cultivalte high-leved personnel.

分析:

1) 形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式;

2) 教育事业 cause of education

例如:

She has dedicated herself to the cause of education.

她决心献身于教育事业。

英译汉

Pets are a great extension to famliy, as long as people are still aware of other humans around them. People who are in possession of pets, should take them seriously.

翻译:只要人们不忽视身边的人类朋友,宠物其实就像家人一般,有宠物的人应该认真对待它们。

分析:

be in possession of sth. 拥有某物。

5. 孔子的思想后来发展成为一个哲学体系,称为儒教(Confucianism)。

也是基于这个原因,有些监狱开设一些项目,让狗帮助犯人重新回到正常生活中,狗不会因为犯人以前犯过错误而疏远他,它更看重的是当下的情况。
