1、翻译二级笔译实务模拟64Section English-Chinese TranslationTranslating the following two passages into Chinese.1(江南博哥). Para. 1 Since the world awoke, on Aug. 31, 1997, to the news that Princess Diana had died at 36, after a paparazzi-fueled car crash in Paris, there have been hundreds of films, documentaries,
2、biographies and tell-all memoirs about the shy young woman who became a global celebrity after marrying the heir to the British throne. Para. 2 On Monday, a new ITV documentary about Diana arrives on HBO, with one significant difference. Called Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy, it is the first
3、 to feature Dianas two sons with Prince Charles, William and Harry, speaking about their mother as they look through family photographs, reminisce about their childhood and revisit the scenes of her charitable activities. Para. 3 The documentary opens with William, 35, and Harry, 32, looking at a ph
4、otograph of a pregnant Diana holding her very small first son. Believe it or not, you and I are both in this picture, William tells Harry. Then the camera cuts to Harry. Arguably, probably a little bit too raw up until this point. Its still raw, he says. Para. 4 Its really a film about love and memo
5、ry, which makes it unusual as a royal film, which are often more about respect, the director Ashley Gething said. Its about sadness and joy and loss. On the one hand its very personal, but its also universal; you can relate to the things they remember and talk about. Para. 5 The producer Nicolas Ken
6、t said that there were no topics deemed off-limits, nor was editorial approval demanded by the palace. The film moves in and out of the interview with the princes as it loosely sketches Dianas life. We see home movies of her as a child, the youngest daughter of the venerable aristocratic Spencer fam
7、ily, and photographs of a pretty, shy teenager, as friends from her early years recount their memories. We wanted it to feel like a story from the inside, so deliberately didnt interview some of the people you might expect, Mr. Kent said. Para. 6 The most moving part of the documentary has the princ

Its like an earthquake just run through the house and through your life and everything,

It also shows the princes sustained efforts to continue in her path. as they visit homeless shelters, comfort the bereaved and
10、 meet two Bosnian men who lost limbs in explosions, both of whom Diana visited a few weeks before she died,when they were teenagers. Para. 8 It is uncanny, Mr. Gething said, to see how much like their mother they are when meeting people. There is an informality, a personal touch, a sense of humor, h
11、e said. It would be difficult to imagine in a pre-Diana age. 正确答案:第一段 1997年8月31日,全世界得知了36岁的戴安娜王妃(Princess Diana)发生了一起由狗仔队引发的车祸而在巴黎香消玉殒的消息。自那时起,便有数以百计的电影、纪录片、传记和揭秘类回忆录讲述这位腼腆的年轻女性嫁给英国皇位继承人后成为全球名人的故事。 第二段 周一,英国独立电视台(ITV)推出的关于戴安娜的新纪录片在美国家庭电影台(HBO)播出。这部名为我们的母亲戴安娜:她的生平和影响的影片与其他纪录片有着显著的不同,它是首部以戴安娜王妃与查尔斯王子(
12、Prince Charles)的两个儿子威廉(William)和哈里(Harry)为主角的作品。影片记录了当他们翻阅家庭照片、回忆童年往事以及重温戴安娜参与慈善活动场所时对母亲的追忆。 第三段 在影片开头,35岁的威廉和32岁的哈里看着一张照片,照片中已有身孕的戴安娜抱着当时还非常小的大儿子。“不管你信不信,我们俩都出现在照片中。”威廉告诉哈里。然后,镜头转向哈里。“可以说,可能直到现在还是有些难受。”他说。 第四段 “这真的是一部关于爱与回忆的影片。在众多表达敬意主题的皇家电影中,它是与众不同的。”导演阿什利格辛(Ashley Gething)说,“这关乎悲伤、喜悦和失落。一方面,它表达的内
13、容非常私人,但它又是世人皆知的。你能够理解他们回忆以及谈论的内容。” 第五段 制片人尼古拉斯肯特(Nicolas Kent)表示,皇室并没有禁止谈论特定话题,也没有要求内容送审。在大致勾勒戴安娜一生的过程中,影片穿插了对两位王子的采访。在戴安娜早年朋友们讲述的回忆中,我们可以看到这位来自受人敬仰的斯宾塞家族的小女儿小时候的家庭录像,以及她出落成一位美丽、腼腆的少女时的照片。“我们希望由戴安娜最亲密的人来讲述她的故事,所以我们故意没有采访很多你以为可能会出现的人。”肯特先生说。 第六段 这部纪录片最让人动容的部分是当两位王子讨论母亲从巴黎打来的最后一通电话。在那里,戴安娜的司机试图甩开一群穷追不
14、舍的摄影师,而她将这次的午夜追车中去世。“这就像一场地震,突然间穿过了你的房子、生活和一切。”威廉王子描述当他得知母亲去世消息时的感受。 第七段 纪录片的最后一部分主要讲述戴安娜为无家可归者、艾滋病患者以及地雷受害者所做的慈善工作。它也展示了两位王子为继续母亲的慈善事业所作的不懈努力。他们参观了无家可归者的收容所,安慰那些丧亲的人,并且会见了两位在爆炸中失去双腿的波斯尼亚(Bosnian)男子。戴安娜在去世前几周才与当时还是青年的他们会面。 第八段 格辛先生说,看到两位王子待人接物的方式与他们的母亲十分相似,真是不可思议。“可以感受到他们的不拘礼节、个人魅力以及幽默感。”他说,“这在戴安娜之前
15、的时代是很难想象的。”解析 1第1段awake to为固定搭配,译为“意识到”“醒悟”。文中指的是全世界得知戴安娜王妃去世的消息,故此处awoke to译为“得知”更为合适。 2第1段较长,在翻译时可按照层次来拆分翻译,car crash in Paris之前的内容是对戴安娜王妃车祸事故的回顾,之后的内容是指出这件事情带来的后续影响,因此,这里的前后可拆分,并各自独立成句。 3第2段句arrives是指“发生,开始出现”,此处是指戴安娜的纪录片在美国家庭电影台上播放,故此处arrives译为“播出”更为合适。 4第3段句opens with为动词短语open with的一般现在时形式,在翻译时
16、可将其转换为名词形式,故The documentary opens with可译为“在影片开头”。 5第4段句relate to为固定搭配,意为“涉及”“理解”。此处指的是观众能够领会影片所传达的悲伤、喜悦和失落,故取第2个义项,译为“理解”更为合适。2.
