选项
答案
计算机不仅远远不会使个人失去个性,也不会使人类社会失去人性,相反地,可指望计算机在某种程度上完成前所未有的拟人活动。
解析
此句是简单句。句子主干为"...the computer promises...personalized service...";句中for from depersonalizing...是状语。此句的难点在于如何理解原文的意义,用符合汉语习惯的表达方式表达出原文所要传达的信息。首先,要确定词义,在depersonalize,dehumanize两词中,personalize和humanize分别意为"赋予人性,使人格地",和"使人性地",加上表示否定的前缀de-后,两词分别意为"失去个性"和"失去人性";personalized service原意为"人格化服务",这里译作"拟人活动";promise意为"有望",此引译为"可指望"。在翻译方法上,主要采用了"分译法"和"增译法",把分词短语译为一并列分词,增加了主语,并根据句子的内在逻辑关系,增译转折词"相反"和连接词"不仅不会…也不会";此外,还采用了"正说反译法",把far from的否定意味译出,使译文成为双重否定句。
