问题     上个世纪70年代末,我参加了第四次全国文代会,大会上小平同志致辞时获得的长时间的热烈掌声给我留下了极深的印象。这次大会是文艺界经历十年浩劫后的第一次盛会,也是小平同志复出后第一次代表党中央、国务院同广大文艺工作者见面。
    1960年的第三次文代会后,文艺界一直处于“多事之秋”。由于林彪、“四人帮”推行极“左”路线,许多有杰出贡献的作家、艺术家相继被打成“走资派”或“反动权威”,受到打击,有的被迫害致死。许多本来优秀的作品或正确的理论观点,被扣上“毒草”的帽子,受到批判清剿。经过十多年的折腾,文艺界已经溃不成军了。
    小平同志的“致辞”就是代表中央对文艺界重新估价,也是来为文艺工作者鼓劲的。我记得,小平同志一走到讲台,全场就响起雷鸣般的掌声。此后在小平同志的整个讲话里,全场一次次地响起热烈的、暴风雨般的掌声。
    记得很多年前,塔斯社在发表苏联领导人讲话时,在每个段落之后都要用括号标明“掌声”、“热烈掌声”、“暴风雨般的掌声”、“雷鸣般的掌声”,来表现演讲效果。后来听说,有些不完全符合事实。但是,用这些词形容小平同志的讲话,确实是一点也不过分,那些掌声确实是非常真诚和由衷的。

选项

答案 Towards the end of the 1970s, I attended the 4th National Conference on Culture and Art Work. The long and enthusiastic ovation Comrade Deng Xiaoping received during his speech left a deep impression on me. This was the first culture and art gathering after the disastrous decade of "cultural revolution", and also Deng’s first meeting with the country’s culture and art workers on behalf of the Party Central Committee and the State Council after his latest "comeback". After the 3rd national conference in 1960, China’s culture and art circles had been under the grips of "bad luck". Lin Biao and the "Gang of Four", in their push for the extremist "Left" line, turned many gifted writers, artists into "capitalist roaders" and "reactionary authority", brutalizing them, even killing some of them. Many otherwise good works of art or correct theoretical propositions were castigated as "poisonous weeds". The decade left behind a terrible ruin in China’s culture and art. Deng’ s speech at the conference represented the rehabilitation of China’ s culture work. It was also a morale booster to the culture and art workers. I remember that as Xiaoping approached the podium, a big round of thunderous applause was heard in the auditorium. And as he went on, his speech was interrupted again and again by warm and thunderous applauses. I remember many years ago when TASS reported on Soviet leaders’ speeches, it would mark the end of every paragraph with bracketed "applause", "warm applause", "tumultuous applause", "thunderous applause" or other descriptions to highlight the result. They were not exactly truthful as I learned later. But, to use these words to describe Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s speech at that conference was highly accurate. These applauses were indeed sincere and heartfelt.

    -基本素质采分点
    1.全国文代会    National Conference on Culture and Art Work
    2.十年浩劫      the disastrous decade of “cultural revolution”
    3.党中央        Party Central Committee
    4.国务院        the State Council
    5.四人帮        Gang of Four
    6.走资派        capitalist roader
    7.塔斯社        TASS
    8.苏联的        Soviet
    -结构理解采分点
1.大会上小平同志致辞时获得的长时间的热烈掌声给我留下了极深的印象。
    根据原句的含义,可确定译文主干部分使用leave impression on结构,依据该词组可确定句中相应的其它成分。因此,原句可译为“The long and enthusiastic ovation Comrade Deng Xiaoping received during his speech left a deep impression on me."
2.这次大会是文艺界经历十年浩劫后的第一次盛会,也是小平同志复出后第一次代表党中央、国务院同广大文艺工作者见面。
    该句可按照中文句子的正常语序翻译,原句后半部分的动词短语“同……见面”可用做名词短语译为分句的主语,以适应on behalf of结构的要求。有时,根据英文句型的要求,需改变原文中的词性。因此,原句可译为“This was the first culture and art gathering after the disastrous decade of ‘cultural revolution’,and also Deng’s first meeting with the country’s culture and art workers on behalf of the Party Central Committee and the State Council after his latest‘comeback’.”
3.由于林彪、“四人帮”推行极“左”路线,许多有杰出贡献的作家、艺术家相继被打成“走资派”或“反动权威”,受到打击,有的被迫害致死。
    该句译文将原有的汉语松散结构重新调整,信息重整后确定为简单句结构,使译文结构紧凑。有时,根据中文句子松散的特点,可打破原有语序,重新组合结构。因此,原句可译为“Lin Biao and the ‘Gang of Four’,in their push for the extremist‘Left’line,turned many gifted writers,artists into‘capitalist roaders’and‘reactionary authority’,brutalizing them,even killing some of them.”
4.经过十多年的折腾,文艺界已经溃不成军了。
    该句译文需重组原句成分,将“经过……”状语短语中的十多年用作全句主语,并增加谓语部分短语“leave behind”,这样译句结构紧凑、地道。因此,原句可译为“The decade left behind a terrible ruin in China’s culture and art.”
5.后来听说,有些不完全符合事实。
    该句对“后来听说”的处理颇为巧妙,使用了as引导的定语从句形式,使全句结构紧凑。即便是口译,译者也要尽可能使用地道的英文表达方式。这要求译者平时多积累常见句型,as引导的定语从句形式便是其中一例。因此,原句可译为“They were not exactly truthful as I learned later.”
    -言语表达采分点
    1.留下极深印象         leave deep impression on...
    2.文艺工作者           cultural and art worker
