问题   茶原产于中国。4000多年前,中国人就有饮茶的习惯了。唐代时,日本的僧人从中国引入茶种,将茶文化与同样是引入的禅宗思想(Zen Buddhism)相结合,形成了闻名世界的日本茶道(Japanese tea ceremony)。17世纪时,荷兰商人将中国人饮茶的习惯带到欧洲,进而形成了欧洲人喝茶的传统,如英国的下午茶。在19世纪之前,世界各地饮用的茶叶都来自中国,英文中茶的读音就是根据福建方言中茶的读音而来的。茶是中国人对世界的重要贡献。

选项

答案  Tea was originally produced in China. Chinese people formed a habit of drinking tea more than 4 000 years ago. During the Tang Dynasty, Japanese monks introduced tea seeds to Japan, and combined tea culture with Zen Buddhism which was also introduced to Japan, so the world-famous Japanese tea ceremony was created. In the 17th century, Dutch businessmen took Chinese people’s habit of drinking tea to Europe, and thus the European custom of drinking tea was formed, such as the afternoon tea in Britain. Before the 19th century, all the tea in the world was produced in China. The pronunciation of "tea" in English is derived from that in Fujian dialect. Tea is an important contribution made by Chinese people to the world.

解析       1.第二句中,“有……的习惯”可以用formed/had a habit of……来表达。
      2.第三句的前半句和后半句之间暗含因果关系,英译时可增译so来体现这种因果关系。其中的“引入”可译为introduced…to…;“同样是引入的”可译为定语从句,修饰“禅宗思想”;“形成了…”可译为…was created,以符合英文中被动表主动的表达习惯。
      3.第四句中,“荷兰商人”可以翻译为Dutch businessmen,“下午茶”可以翻译为the afternoon tea。
      4.第五句中,“根据……而来”可用is derived from…表示,译文中的that指代the pronunciation of“tea”。
