话题原文:
家庭教育问题自古以来就是人们关注的焦点,但被作为一种学科进行研究,在我国也只是近年来的事情。这是时代发展、人才需求、国民整体素质提高所必须涉及的问题。有人曾把儿童比作一块大理石,说把这块大理石塑造成一座雕像需要六位雕塑家:1.家庭;2.学校;3.儿童所在的集体;4.儿童本人;5.书籍;6.偶然出现的因素。从排列顺序上看,家庭位列首位,可以看得出家庭在塑造儿童的过程中起到很重要的作用。
参考翻译:
Since ancient times, family education has been the focus of people's attention, but it is only in recent years that it has been studied as a discipline in China. This is an inevitable issue relating to the development of the times, the demand of talents and the improvement of the overall quality of the nation. Someone once compared children to apiece of marble, saying that, to shape the marble into a statue, six sculptors are required: firstly, family, secondly, schools; thirdly, the group children belong to; fourthly, children themselves; fifthly, books; sixthly, occasional factors. Judging from the order, we can see family ranks first, which means femily plays a very important role in the process of cultivating children.
1.这是时代发展、人才需求、国民整体素质提高所必须涉及的问题:翻译时可以适当转换,把“必须涉及的”转换成“不可避免的”。另外,翻译此类列举的长句时,要先抓住并译出主干,然后依次翻译各修饰成分即可。本句的主干是“这是必须涉及的问题”,故该句翻译为This is an inevitable issue related to the development of the times, the demand of talents and the improvement of the overall quality of the nation.
2.把...比作:可译为compare...to。compare with则表示“与...相比”,而do not compare with则表示“比不上...”。
3.把这块大理石塑造成一座雕像需要六位雕塑家:可以适当变通,译成被动语态,故本句可译为to shape the marble into a statue, six sculptors are required。
4.偶然出现的因素:可译为occasional factors。
5.家庭位列首位:可译为family ranks first其中rank first意为“排第一,名列第一,位居第一”。
6.在塑造儿童的过程中:可译为in the process of cultivating children。“塑造”即“培养”,译为cultivate。
话题原文:
月光族(moonlight group),网络流行词,指将每月赚的钱都用完、花光的人。月光族一般都是年轻一代,与父辈勤俭节约的观念不同,他们喜欢追逐时尚,想买就买,根本不在乎钱财。“月光”们有知识、有能力,花钱不仅表达他们对物质生活的喜爱,更是他们赚钱的动力。上一代人信奉“会赚不如会省”,对他们的行为痛心疾首;而他们的格言是“能花才更能赚”。“富不过三十天;穷不了一个月” 是对他们的生活最生动的描述。
参考翻译:
The phrase“moonlight group”is a popular Internet term. It refers to those people who spend all of their income every month. The “moonlight group” is generally young generation. Different from the elder generation who believes in thrift, the “moonlight group” pursues fashion. They buy what they want, regardless of the price. Knowledgeable and capable, the moonlight people spend money not only to express their love for material life, but also to motivate themselves to make money. Holding the belief that it's better to save money than make money, the elder generation hates the behaviors of the moonlight group. But the motto of the moonlight group is “one can make money only if he can spend money”.The saying“One can't be rich for 30 days and he can't be poor for one month either”vividly describes the moonlight group's life.
1.月光族:可译为moonlight group。“一族”还翻译为clan和tribe,如“月光族”还可翻译为moonlight clan,“蚁族”可翻译为ant tribe。
2.网络流行词:可译为popular Internet term。此外,也可以用buzzword表示“流行词,热点词。”
3.勤俭节约的观念:可译为believe in thrift。其中thrift意为“节俭,节约”,believe in意为“认为...正确”。
4.根本不在乎钱財:即“不顾及、不考虑价钱”,其中“不顾及、不考虑”可译为without regard for或regardless of。
5.信奉:可译为hold the belief。也可以只用hold—个词表达,如They hold different views on consumption.他们对消费有不同的看法,或他们有不同的消费观。
6.表达对物质生活的喜爱:“物质生活”,可译为material life。“喜爱”可以用love或affection表达。故该句译为express their love for material life。
