问题    阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦(Albert Einstein)出生于德国南部的一个犹太中产阶级家庭。母亲非常喜欢音乐。爱因斯坦受她的影响很大。她鼓励小爱因斯坦对小提琴和古典音乐的爱好。他的父亲,一位工程师,对爱因斯坦的影响甚微。不过,是他送给了他五岁儿子那个著名的玩具指南针,促发了小爱因斯坦的第一次“思想试验”:玩具中的针为什么总是指向北?
    爱因斯坦后来成为一位伟大的物理学家。他是那个科学独领风骚的世纪的著名科学家。那个时代的一些标志性科研成果,如原子弹、量子物理学以及电子学,无不带有他的烙印。即使现在,科学家们仍为广义相对论表现出的胆识所折服。他们认为他的思想已超出了科学范围,影响着从绘画到诗歌的现代文化。

选项

答案Albert Einstein was born in a middle-class Jewish family in southern Germany. He was strongly influenced by his musically inclined mother, who encouraged his passion for the violin and classical music. His father, an engineer, had less influence on him.But it was he who gave his five-year-old son the famous toy compass that inspired young Einstein’s first "thought experiment"—what made the needle always point north? Einstein later became a great physicist. He was the pre-eminent scientist in a century dominated by science. The touchstones of the era, such as the atomic bomb, quantum physics and electronics, all bear his imprint. Even now scientists marvel at the daring of his general relativity. They believe that his ideas have reverberated beyond science, influencing modern culture from painting to poetry.

解析     1.犹太人的Jewish
    [分析] 基本素质采分点。
    “犹太人的”是常用时事词汇。
    2.母亲非常喜欢音乐。爱因斯坦受她的影响很大。她鼓励小爱因斯坦对小提琴和古典音乐的爱好。He was strongly influenced by his musically inclined mother, who encouraged his passion for the violin and classical music.
    [分析] 理解结构采分点。
    采用合句翻译法。根据原文的上下文逻辑关系,三个句子都是与爱因斯坦母亲相关的。合成一句话翻译。“母亲非常喜欢音乐。爱因斯坦受她的影响很大。”翻译成一个简单句“He was strongly influenced by his musically inclined mother”。“她鼓励小爱因斯坦对小提琴和古典音乐的爱好”译成非限定性定语从句,修饰mother。
    3.他是那个科学独领风骚的世纪的著名科学家。He was the pre-eminent scientist in a century dominated by science.
    [分析] 用词选词采分点。
    “科学独领风骚的世纪”意思是那个世纪科学占着重要的地位,因此译成过去分词作定语a century dominated by science。
    4.广义相对论general relativity
    [分析] 基本素质采分点。
    “广义相对论”是20世纪最伟大的科学成就之一,属于常用词汇。
    5.科学家们仍为广义相对论表现出的胆识所折服。Scientists marvel at the daring of his general relativity.
    [分析] 选词用词采分点。
    “为……胆识所折服”译成marvel at,意思是“对……惊奇”。
    6.他们认为他的思想已超出了科学范围,影响着从绘画到诗歌的现代文化。They believe that his ideas have reverberated beyond science, influencing modem culture from painting to poetry.
    [分析] 理解结构采分点。
    原句中的第二个动词“影响着”译成现在分词influencing,构成分词短语做状语。
