问题     众所周知,中国人乐于发明并善于运用发明简化生活。在中国古代的发明中.四大发明不仅为中国,还为世界的经济和文化的发展作出了巨大的贡献。这四大发明分别是造纸术、印刷术、火药(gunpowder)和指南针。四大发明在中国文化里很受推崇,这是因为它们的历史重要性,它们是中国古代先进科学技术的象征,也是中国作为世界文明大国的重要象征。

选项

答案 The Chinese are well known for their interests in making inventions, as well as their employment of these inventions to help ease the life. Among the inventions of ancient China, the Four Great Inventions have made great contributions to the economic and cultural development of China as well as that of the world. The Four Great Inventions of ancient China are papermaking technology, printing, gunpowder and the compass. These inventions are celebrated in Chinese culture for their historical significance and as signs of ancient China’s advanced science and technology and important symbols of China’s role as a great world civilization.

解析 1.第一句中,我们可以把“乐于发明”理解为“对发明感兴趣”,所以我们可以翻译为one’s interestsin making inventions。
2.第二句中,“对……作出巨大贡献”可以用make/do great contributions to…来表示。
3.最后一句中,“很受推崇”表达的是“著名的,闻名的”的意思,所以我们可以用celebrated来表示。
4.最后一句比较长,翻译之前需要分析句子结构,其主干是四大发明很受推崇,后面的部分是其原因。所以句子的主干翻译为These inventions are celebrated in Chinese culture for…,然后在主干后面将原因逐项翻译出来即可。
