问题     圆明园举世闻名。在其鼎盛时期(heyday),被誉为“万园之园”(Garden of All Gardens)。它是皇家的避暑胜地,在清朝五代皇帝监督之下,苦心营造,不断扩建而成。不幸的是,这座历史上的“万园之园”未能逃脱西方列强(the Western powers)的摧残。1860年10月,圆明园和园内的文化珍宝惨遭英法联军(the AngloFrench forces)的毁坏。1900年,八国联军(the Eight-Power Allied Forces)侵占北京,圆明园再遭掠劫。昔日的美景和辉煌不再,全园沦为一片废墟(clusters of ruin and debris)。在寂静和沉默中,它告诫着中国人民永远不要忘记这场悲剧。

选项

答案Yuanmingyuan is renowned throughout the world. It was honored as the "Garden of All Gardens" during its heyday. It was an imperial summer resort painstakingly built and repeatedly expanded under the personal supervision of five emperors of Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, this historic "Garden of All Gardens" failed to escape the destruction of the Western powers. The garden together with the cultural treasures within it was destroyed by the Anglo-French forces in October 1860. In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces seized Beijing and Yuanmingyuan was robbed once again. Its former beauty and glory didn’t exist any more, and the entire garden lay in clusters of ruin and debris. In hushed silence it warned the Chinese people never to forget the tragedy.

解析 1.第二句“在其鼎盛时期,被誉为‘万园之园’”,这句话承接上一句话省略了主语圆明园,故翻译的时候应补上主语,用it来指代“圆明园”,避免重复。
2.第三句“它是皇家的避暑胜地……扩建而成”句子很长,可将“它是皇家的避暑胜地”作为句子主干。由于“它”是“营造”、“扩建”的受动者,因此可把“苦心营造,不断扩建”处理成过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰“避暑胜地”summer resort。“在清朝五代皇帝监督之下”译为under the personal supervision of fiveemperors of Qing Dynasty。
3.“圆明园和园内的文化珍宝惨遭英法联军的毁坏”这句话有两种译法,一是视“圆明园”和“文化珍宝”为并列主语,用and连接,谓语动词用复数形式;二是把“圆明园”看作主语,用together with带出“园内的文化珍宝”,即译为The garden together with the cultural treasures within it,谓语动词用单数形式。
4.倒数第二句“昔日的美景……”由两个短句构成,主语各不同,分别为:美景和辉煌、全园,可翻译成and连接的两个并列分句。其中“不再”可理解为“不复存在”,可增译exist。
