逐句译法
1. 中国政府十分重视人民的健康饮食(diet)。
参考译法:The Chinese government attaches great importance to people's healthy diet.
主干:政府=主语,重视=谓语(主语策略:原句主语)中文已有明确主语 中国政府,核心动词是 十分重视,宾语是 人民的健康饮食。主干立成 The Chinese government attaches great importance to people's healthy diet——主语 the Chinese government,谓语用固定搭配 attaches importance to,宾语 people's healthy diet。
语法点:- 时态回指全篇基调用一般现在时,表政府一贯的态度:attaches。 - 主谓一致主语 the Chinese government 是第三人称单数,谓语动词加 s:attaches。 - 搭配"重视"用 attach importance to(importance 不可数、不加 s),to 后接名词 people's healthy diet;切忌写成 pay attention very。
降级处理:短句无需降级本句结构简单,只有一套主谓宾,没有多余分句或修饰成分需要降级安放,直接成句即可。唯一要注意的是"十分重视"宜用地道搭配 attach great importance to 或 highly value,避免逐字硬译成 very pay attention。
2. 通过大力提倡健康饮食,人们对合理营养增进健康的重要性有了更加深刻的认识。
参考译法:Through the vigorous promotion of a healthy diet, people have come to better understand the importance of balanced nutrition in improving health.
主干:人们=主语,认识到=谓语(主语策略:原句主语)句子主干是后半截 人们对……重要性有了更加深刻的认识——主语 people,谓语"有了认识"译为 have come to better understand / have a deeper understanding of,宾语是"……的重要性"。开头 通过大力提倡健康饮食 不是主干,是方式状语,降级处理。
语法点:- 时态"有了更加深刻的认识"强调从过去到现在累积出的认识结果,用现在完成时 have come to better understand / have gained a deeper understanding,与全篇现在时基调相容。 - 单复数主语 people 本身即复数概念,谓语用 have(不加 s)。 - 搭配与介词"对……的重要性"用 the importance of...; "营养增进健康"用 nutrition in improving health(in doing 表在某方面的作用)。
降级处理:通过→介词短语作状语通过大力提倡健康饮食 降级成介词短语 Through the vigorous promotion of a healthy diet,置于句首作方式状语;合理营养增进健康的重要性 是"重要性"带的修饰,处理成 the importance of balanced nutrition in improving health,用 of 短语和 in doing 把"合理营养""增进健康"挂到 importance 上,避免堆成流水句。
参考译法:Eating safely, nutritiously and healthily is a basic need of the people for a better life, an inevitable requirement for enhancing their sense of happiness, and also offers new opportunities for the development of the food industry.
主干:"吃得三好"=主语,是/提供=并列谓语(主语策略:原句主语)主语是引号里的 "吃得安全、吃得营养、吃得健康",可译为名词短语 Eating safely, nutritiously and healthily(或 Safe, nutritious and healthy eating)。它后面接三个并列谓语:是……基本需要、是……必然要求、也……提供了新机遇,即 is..., is... and also offers...,三个谓语共用同一个主语。
语法点:- 时态全句陈述客观事实,用一般现在时:is..., and also offers...("提供了"虽有"了",但表的是一种持续成立的事实,仍用现在时 offers,回指全篇基调)。 - 主谓一致主语是"吃"这一单一行为(动名词短语),视作单数,谓语用 is、offers(第三人称单数加 s)。 - 冠词与单复数"一项基本需要""一项必然要求"用单数加冠词 a basic need / an inevitable requirement;"新机遇"是泛指多个,用复数 new opportunities。
降级处理:三谓语用 and 收尾并列三个分句结构对称:前两个"是……需要/要求"译 is a basic need... and an inevitable requirement...,第三个"提供新机遇"动词不同,单独用 also offers new opportunities... 收尾。把引号里三个"吃得X"处理成三个并列副词 safely, nutritiously and healthily,保持排比的整齐感。
4. 目前,各级政府都在采取多种举措确保人民饮食健康,推进健康中国的建设。
参考译法:At present, governments at all levels are taking various measures to ensure people's dietary health and promote the building of a Healthy China.
主干:各级政府=主语,采取=谓语(主语策略:原句主语)主语 各级政府=governments at all levels(沿用 glossary 译法),核心动词 采取=are taking,宾语 多种举措=various measures。主干为 governments at all levels are taking various measures。后面 确保人民饮食健康,推进健康中国的建设 是采取举措的目的,降级处理。
语法点:- 时态/语态目前+"都在采取"表当下正在进行的行动,用现在进行时 are taking,比一般现在时更贴"正在"之意,且与全篇现在时基调相容。 - 单复数"各级政府"含多级,用复数 governments,谓语相应用 are(不是 is);"多种举措"用复数 various measures。 - 搭配"采取举措"=take measures;"推进……建设"=promote the building/construction of...;"确保"=ensure 后直接接宾语。
降级处理:确保/推进→to do 目的状语确保人民饮食健康 和 推进健康中国的建设 是采取举措的两个目的,译成不定式 to ensure people's dietary health and promote the building of a Healthy China,用 to do 并列挂在主干后表目的,避免照中文用 and 把三个动词平铺成流水句。
