是的,北平是个都城,而能有好多自己产生的花,菜、水果,这就使人更接近了自然。从它里面说,它没有像伦敦的那些成天冒烟的工厂;从外面说,它紧连着园林、菜圃与农村。采菊东篱下,在这里,确是可以悠然见南山的;大概把“南”字变个“西”或“北”,也没有多少了不得的吧。

问题     是的,北平是个都城,而能有好多自己产生的花,菜、水果,这就使人更接近了自然。从它里面说,它没有像伦敦的那些成天冒烟的工厂;从外面说,它紧连着园林、菜圃与农村。采菊东篱下,在这里,确是可以悠然见南山的;大概把“南”字变个“西”或“北”,也没有多少了不得的吧。像我这样的一个贫寒的人,或者只有在北平能享受一点清福了。好,不再说了吧;要落泪了,真想念北平呀!

选项

答案 The city of Peiping brings its residents into closer contact with nature by growing flowers, vegetables and fruit in large quantities. The city proper is not plagued by factory chimneys such as you find in London giving off volumes of smoke all day long. On the outskirts of the city lie numerous flower gardens, vegetable farms and villages. An ancient Chinese poet by the name of Tao Yuanming says aptly in one of his famous poems, "Plucking chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge, I calmly view the southern hills. ’ To adapt it to life in Peiping, I might as well substitute the word "western" or "northern" for the word "southern" in the line. Peiping is probably the only place for a man of limited means like me to live an easy and carefree life in. Now, let me leave off writing, for I am on the point of shedding tears. How I miss Peiping!

解析    1.是的,北平是个都城,而能有好多自己产生的花、菜、水果,这就使人更接近了自然。
   汉英翻译要先找好英语主句的SVO框架,然后将修饰语补入。上句译成英语主要结构是:北平使人更接近了自然,(因为)能有好多自己产生的花,菜,水果:The city of Peiping brings its residents into closer contact with nature by growing flowers,vegetables and fruit in large quantifies.
   2.它没有像伦敦的那些成天冒烟的工厂
   “没有”可以用there be结构译。但在这语境中用plague更特指:The city proper is not plagued by factory chimneys such as you find in London giving off volumes of smoke a11 day long.
   3.采菊东篱下,在这里,确是可以悠然见南山的;
   这是陶渊明诗句“采菊东篱下,悠然见南山”的互文。为防止相关信息的丢失,互文关系的翻译有时要增补一定信息。以下译文中划线部分为增补的信息:An ancient Chinese poet by the name of Tao Yuanming says aptly in one of his famous poems,“Plucking chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge,I calmly view the southern hills.”
   4.像我这样的一个贫寒的人,或者只有在北平能享受一点清福了。一个贫寒的人:a man of limited means。享受清福:live an easy and carefree life。
   5.好,不再说了吧;要落泪了,
   “不再说了吧;要落泪了,”形式上是并列的,逻辑上是从属的。译文发挥英语的特点使这种隐性关系变显性:Now,let me leave off writting,for l am on the point of shedding tears.
