问题     塔克拉玛干沙漠(the Taklamakan Desert)是中国最大的沙漠,面积约为33万平方千米。“塔克拉玛干”在维吾尔语(Uyghur)里的意思是“走得进,出不来”,因此塔克拉玛干沙漠也被称为“死亡之海”。这里沙丘(sand dune)遍布,受狂风影响,沙丘时常移动。据统计,这些沙丘每年大约移动150米,严重影响了当地居民的生存。在过去的几十年里,当地政府一直致力于植树造林,以减少沙尘暴的发生。

选项

答案 The Taklamakan Desert is the largest desert in China and covers an area of about 330 000 square kilometers. In Uyghur, "Taklamakan" means "you can go in, but you never come out", so the desert has also been called "the Sea of Death". Sand dunes spread all over the Taklamakan Desert. Because of the fierce wind, these sand dunes are always moving forward. Statistics suggest that each year they move about 150 meters, which seriously threatens the survival of the local populace. In the past decades, the local government has been making great efforts to plant trees to reduce the occurrence of the sandstorms.

解析 1.在第一句中,“面积约为……”可译为covers an area of about…,也可以译为has an area ofabout…,也可以用with短语表示,译为With an area of about…。
2.在第二句中,“走得进,出不来”译为you can go in,but you never come out。“被称为”有多种表达方式,如be called,be referred to as,be known as等。
3.在第三句中,“狂风”可以译为the fierce wind,也可以用the blustery/stiff/strong wind等表示。
4.在第四句中,“据统计”可以译为Statistics suggest,也可以译为Statistics show/indicate或According to statistics。“严重影响”可以译为seriously threatens,也可以用severely affects表示。“当地居民”可译为the local populace,“居民”也可以用inhabitant/resident/population等词表示。
5.在第五句中,“一直致力于”可以译为has been making great efforts to,其中“致力于”也可以用work to,be active in等表示。“植树造林”可简洁地译为plant trees。
