1、翻译二级笔译实务分类模拟题21英译汉请特别注意划线部分的译法。1. The Pediatrics report answered many questions, but much about the s（江南博哥）ubject remains a mystery. 正确答案：儿科的报告回答了许多疑问，但是同时关于这个问题还有不少疑团没有解开。解析 remains a mystery是报道中常用的承上启下的句子，值得学习仿照。2. Exactly why obesity and early development should be linked is not well understood.
2、正确答案：究竟为什么肥胖与提前发育之间有联系，人们了解得并不是很多。解析 对某事有了一定的了解，但是还有待于进一步研究、调查，经常用exactly why这类句型。3. The staple food of Zimbabwe is maize. People eat it as a milled cereal boiled into porridge, and they regard it in the way that Asians regard rice as essential. 正确答案：玉米是津巴布韦人的主食，人们把玉米碾碎煮成粥食用。津巴布韦人把玉米看成是生活必需品，就像亚洲人把稻
3、米看成是生活必需品一样。解析 the staple food指主要的食品。4. From China to Spain, students talk about the pressures they face, and the fun they still manage to fit in. 正确答案：世界各地的学生们纷纷谈论面临的学业压力，不过也谈论上学的乐趣。解析 From China to Spain泛指世界各地，这比说all around the world要生动得多。其实在汉语中我们也常常用相似的修辞手法，比如用“从东海之滨到天山脚下”来泛指中国辽阔的疆土。5. The presid
4、ent says he intends to work with the nominee to build up the image of the intelligence community. 正确答案：总统说他想同情报局局长提名候选人一起改善情报人员的形象。解析 nominee是被提名担任某一个职位的人选。另一个词组build up image也值得一记，中文叫“树立形象”，和中文完全一样，遗憾的是，这种完全可以一对一翻译的例子是少而又少的。6. The law makers in Ukraines Crimea Peninsula have passed a vote of no-con
5、fidence in the local government in the latest twist of power struggle. 正确答案：乌克兰克里米亚半岛的法律制定者在最近一轮权力斗争中，对当地政府投了不信任票。解析 vote of no-confidence是一个固定的说法，需要整体记忆。7. In an article that Duelfer wrote for the Los Angeles Times last year about Iraqi programs to develop weapons of mass destruction, he offered th
6、is hypothesis. 正确答案：杜夫勒去年就伊拉克发展大规模杀伤性武器问题为洛杉矶时报撰写了一篇文章，文章中他提出了下面这种假设。解析 weapons of mass destruction，注意destruction翻译成了“杀伤性”，是化抽象为具体的一个范例。英语中有不少抽象词需要如此处理，中文读者读起来才会感到通达易懂。8. Researchers have found the virus in civet cats at a live food market in China, but it is unclear whether the civets are the sourc
7、e of the human outbreak. 正确答案：研究人员说他们在中国一家活禽市场出售的果子狸身上发现了病毒，但是尚不清楚，是否是果子狸造成病毒在人类中爆发。解析 有一些英文词表达方法十分简洁明了，比如这儿的live food market，把它翻译成“活禽市场”其实也不是非常准确，很可能在市场上不仅供应活鸡活鸭，还有活鱼、活蛇、活狗、活鸽等等。因此，更准确些，似可考虑译成“鲜活食品市场”。9.Germany Moonlighter1 Economy Tough times mean working second jobs He begins his day early, in sl

12、this has arrived in Germany as well. In that sense working two jobs is a part of the picture.
