  翻譯模擬:好萊塢

  原文

中國經濟的崛起和國際形象的不斷提升吸引了好萊塢(Hollywood)的目光。去年,中國電影市場的票房收入(box office receipts)達到了170億美元,排名世界第二。而與此同時,美國電影市場的票房收入則在持續下降。因此,中國市場對於美國電影業而言是一個極具吸引力的'增長機會。一勝好萊塢製片廠(studio)已與中國公司合作製作基於中國歷史和文化的電影以開拓中國市場。

  參考譯文:

China's economic rise and growing international image have attracted Hollywood. The box office receipts of the Chinese movie market reached $17 billion last year, ranking the second in the world. At the same time, the box office receipts of American movie market have been declining. As a result, the Chinese market is a most attractive growth opportunity for the American movie industry. Some Hollywood studios have cooperated with Chinese companies to make films based on Chinese history and culture to exploit Chinese market.

  解析:

1.第1句中的“國際形象的不斷提升”,其中“不斷提升”是一個動態的過程,因此宜將其處理為現在分詞,作定語修飾“國際形象”,該短語表達為growing international image。“吸引了......的目光”可直譯為attract the eyes of,也可譯為 attract sb.'s attention,但都不如 attract sb.來得簡單。

2.第2句若處理為並列結構The box office receipts... reached..., and ranked...,則表達略顯平淡。“排名世界第二”是對前一分句的補充說明,故可將其處理成伴隨狀語,用分詞短語ranking the second in the world來表達。

3.第4句的定語“極具吸引力的”表達為mostattractive,most在此意為“很,非常”,並非最高階the most。狀語“對於美國電影業而言”用介詞短語for the American movie industry來表達,置於句末。

4.最後一句的“製作……的電影”是好萊塢製片廠與中國公司合作的內容,可將其處理成目的狀語,用不定式短語to make films...來表達。定語“基於中國歷史和文化的”較長,因此將其處理為後置定語,用過去分詞短語based on Chinese history and culture譯出。“以開拓中國市場”為目的狀語,可用不定式短語to exploit Chinese market 來表達。

  閱讀模擬:電腦的好處

Educators today are more and more often heard to say that computer literacy is absolutely necessary for college students. Many even argue that each incoming freshman should have permanent access to his or hcr own microcomputer. What advantages do computers offer the college students?

Any student who has used a word processor will know one compelling reason to use a computer: to write papers. Although not all students feel comfortable composing on a word processor, most find revising and editing much easier on it. One can alter, insert, or delete just by pressing a few keys, thus eliminating the need to rewrite or re-type. Furthermore, since the revision process is less burdensome, students are more likely to revise as often as is necessary to end up with the best paper possible. For these reasons, many freshman English courses require the use of a word processor.

Computers are also useful in the context of language courses, where they are used to drill students in basic skills. Software programs reinforce ESL(English as a Second Language ) instruction, as well as instruction in French, German, Spanish, and other languages. By using these programs on a regular basis, students can improve their proficiency in a language while proceeding at their own pace.

Science students take advantage of computers in many ways. Using computer graphic capabilities, for example, botany students can represent and analyze different plant growth patterns. Medical students can learn to interpret computerized images of internal body structures. Physics students can complete complex calculations far

more quickly than they could without the use of computer.

Similarly, business and accounting students find that computer spreadsheet programs are all but indispensable to many aspects of their work, while students pursuing careers in graphic arts. marketing, and public relations find that knowledge of computer graphic is important. Education majors learn to develop grading systems using computers, while social science students use computers for analyzing and graphically displacing their research results.

It is no wonder, then, that educators support the purchase and use of microcomputers by students. A versatile tool, the computer can help students learn. And that is, after all, the reason for going to college.
