摘要:英語四級翻譯練習(xí)之刺繡,更多關(guān)于CET的相關(guān)信息,請關(guān)注希賽網(wǎng)英語頻道。
刺繡(embroidery)是用針和線或紗線(yarn)在織物或其他材料上進(jìn)行裝飾的手工藝。刺繡最常用在無檐帽、有檐帽、外套、毛毯、禮服襯衫、長筒襪、髙爾夫球衫上。令人感到吃驚的是:在刺繡的發(fā)展過程中,從起初到后來更精美的階段,讓人感覺不到也說不出來有什么材質(zhì)或技術(shù)的變化。另一方面,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)后來很少能達(dá)到早期作品中的技術(shù)成就和髙水準(zhǔn)的工藝。
參考翻譯:
Embroidery is the handicraft of decorating fabric orother materials with needle and thread or yarn.It ismost often used on caps, hats, coats, blankets, dressshirts, stockings, and golf shirts.It is a striking factthat in the development of embroidery there are nochanges of materials or techniques which can be felt or interpreted as advances from aprimitive to a later, more refined stage.On the other hand, we find a technicalaccomplishment and high standard of craftsmanship in early works are rarely attained in latertimes.
1.令人感到吃驚的是在刺繡的發(fā)展過程中,從起初到后來更精美的階段,讓人感覺不到也說不出來有什么材質(zhì)或技術(shù)的變化:“令人感到吃驚的是”可以理解為“這是一個(gè)令人吃驚的事實(shí)”,即It is a striking fact that...,后跟fact的同位語從句;“在...發(fā)展過程中”可用in the development of表示;“從起初到后來更精美的階段可用from…to...短語,即as advances from a primitive to a later, more refined stage; “讓人感覺不到也說不出來有什么材質(zhì)或技術(shù)的變化,這個(gè)句子包含了一個(gè)定語從句,主句是there are no changes of materials or techniques,后跟which引導(dǎo)的定語從句;“說出”即“解釋、說明”,可譯為interpret,其同義詞有:account、translate。
2.另一方面,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)后來很少能達(dá)到早期作品中的技術(shù)成就和高水準(zhǔn)的工藝:“另—方面”可譯為on the other hand;“技術(shù)成就”可譯為technical accomplishment;“高水準(zhǔn)的工藝”可譯為high standard of craftsmanship。
