问题     中国人一直以自己是龙的传人(descendent)为豪。这种情感在中国文化和社会的各个方面都有所体现。从远古时代起,龙就被看作是具有庇佑能力并能影响人们生活的动物。古代的皇帝被看作是“真龙天子”,象征着尊严和权力。在民间流传着许多关于龙的传说和故事。还有各种与龙相关的民俗活动,其中最受欢迎的就是赛龙舟(Dragon Boat Race)。

选项

答案 Chinese people have been proud of being the descendents of the dragon. This emotion is reflected in every aspect of Chinese culture and society. From primitive times, the dragon has been regarded as a creature with the power to protect and influence people’s lives. The emperors in ancient times were regarded as the real dragon from the heaven, a symbol of dignity and power. Many legends and stories about dragon are spread among the people. There are also various folk activities related to dragon, among which the most welcomed one is Dragon Boat Race.

解析 1.第3句中的定语“具有庇佑能力并能影响人们生活的”较长,可将其处理成后置定语,用介词短语with...来表达;“具有……能力并能……”可合译成a power to…and…;“动物”译为creature(生物、创造物)比animal更确切,因为“龙”并不是真正存在。
2.第4句中“象征着尊严和权利”是对“真龙天子”的补充说明,可将其处理成同位语,译为a symbol of dignity and power。
3.倒数第2句为无主语句,省略了主语“人们”,该主语不需要被强调说明,故此句可译为被动句式,即Manylegends and stories...are spread...。“关于龙的”可处理成后置定语,用介词短语about dragon表达。“在民间”为状语,可译作among the people,置于句末。
4.最后一句中的“其中”一词表示赛龙舟属于前面提到的folk activities,故“其中……赛龙舟”可处理成非限制性定语从句,用among which来引导,译为among which the most welcomed one is…。
