翻译详解:
1.第一句由两个分句构成,为了避免译文累赘,翻译时可将第二个分句作为主干,第一个分句“中国历史上一个重要的朝代”译作同位语,即an important dynasty in China's history,也可翻译为定语从句。
2.第三句“唐朝早期和中期的统治开明…”,可将“唐朝早期和中期”作为主语,增译谓语witness,表示“见证…的发生”。在翻译“统治开明、经济繁荣、社会安定”这类四字短语的时候,可以采用名词短语的形式, 更加符合英语的表达习惯。
3.翻译“它在政治、经济、文化…世界强国之一”这一句时,可将“取得了很高的成就”作为主干,“是当时的世界强国之一”则处理为现在分词短语making it..作状语的形式。
4.最后一句由两个分句组成,细读之后可以发现两个分句有内在的因果关系,因此用thus连接;“很多国家的政治…影响”可采用被动语态。
