问题     秦始皇是中国历史上杰出的政治家、战略家和改革家。13岁继承王位,39岁统一中国并自封“始皇帝”(First Emperor),建立第一个统一的、多民族、中央集权制国家。统一中国之后,他推行了一系列改革,比如统一度量衡单位和货币标准、统一文字(the Chinese script)。他在位期间还进行多项浩大工程,比如修建长城和他的陵墓等。为了加强统治,他禁止、焚烧经典书籍,坑杀儒士(Confucian scholars)。虽然他的一些举措给人民带来沉重的灾难,但他的功绩远大于过失。

选项

答案 Qin Shi Huang is an outstanding statesman, strategist and reformer in the history of China. He inherited the throne at the age of 13. At the age of 39, he unified China and proclaimed himself the First Emperor, establishing the first united, multi-ethnic and centralized country. After the unification of China, he passed a series of reforms, for example, standardizing the units of measurements and the currency, unifying the Chinese script. He also undertook gigantic projects such as the construction of the Great Wall and his tomb in his reign. To strengthen his rule, he outlawed and burned classic books and buried some Confucian scholars alive. Although some of his measures brought people heavy disaster, his achievement is far more than his error.

解析 1.秦始皇统一中国,伴随而来的是“建立第一个……国家”,因此这部分可处理为伴随状语,即establishing the first...country。
2.“统一中国之后,他推行了一系列改革……”这一句中,由于前句已使用动词unify,此处可将“统一”译为名词 unification。“统一……标准”只需译为动词standardize,而不用unify the standard of…,避免反复使用某个词汇。
3.注意.“虽然……,但他的功绩远大于过失”中出现关联词“虽然……但……”,英文只需用although/though/but 其中一个来表达,although/though和but不能同时出现。“远大于”用far more than表达。
