词句点拨:
1.徐志摩是20世纪著名的现代浪漫主义诗人:翻译“著名的现代浪漫主义诗人”时,考生要注意形容词的顺序,即famous modern romantic poet.
2.他毕业于北京大学,而后去剑桥大学学习:“毕业于”可译为graduate from,也可译为graduate at; graduate at意思是“毕业于”,英国人常用,指在大学学业期满;graduate from美国人常用,指中等学业或大学业期满。
3.他的生命很短暂,但却为世界和中国文学作出了重大贡献:“很”可以用quite表示,也也用very表示,但要注意两者和不定冠词a之间的顺序,即quite a和a very(注意顺序)。“作出重大贡献”可译为make a great contribution,表示“对……做出贡献”可在短语后由介词to引出贡献对象。
4.他是中国第一批成功将西方浪漫主义形式引入中国现代诗歌的作家之一:“中国第一批……作家”可译为one of the first Chinese writers.“成功将……”可以用to do引出,即to successfully introduce…。“将……引入”可译为introduce…to.“西方浪漫主义形式”可译为Western romantic form,“中国现代诗歌”可译为modern Chinese poetry.
