1.鲁迅是作家周树人的笔名,生于1881年,其家庭有深厚的儒家背景:“笔名” 可译为penname。句中的“有”可用with来翻译,所以“有深厚的儒家背景”就是:with a deepConfucian background。
2.因此,鲁迅在1906年回到东京,决定放弃医学,投身于教育和文学事业:“投身于”可译为devote oneself to,devote意为“投身、贡献”。
3.毛主席称他为“中国文化革命的主将”:“称”可译为call, call可以跟双宾语,常用表达是call sb. sth.“中国文化革命的主将”可译为commander of China’s cultural revolution。
