问题     陕西省位于黄河中游,与山西、内蒙古、宁夏、甘肃、四川、湖北、河南等省为邻。因其位于陕原(今河南陕县一带)以西而得省名,又因春秋时为秦国辖地,故简称秦。全省面积20.56万平方公里,人口4000万,省会西安市。陕西地势狭长,西北高而东南低。依天然地形,可分陕北高原、关中平原、汉中盆地三区。秦岭是陕西境内最大的山脉,横贯全省东西,主峰太白山,高3767米。秦岭以南属亚热带气候。主产水稻、小麦、棉花、玉米等。生漆产量居全国首位。

选项

答案 Shaanxi Province is located in the middle reaches of the Huanghe River with Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Gansu, Sichuan, Hubei and Henan as its neighboring provinces. As it is situated to the west of Shanyuan Highland (a plateau in the present-day Shanxian County, Henan Province), hence the name of the province. As Shanxi was also the domain of the Kingdom of Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was thereafter called "Qin" for short. It covers an area of 205,600 square kilometers and has a population of 40 million with Xi’an as its capital. As regards the feature of terrain, Shaanxi is long and narrow, higher in the northwestern part, lower in the southeastern region. The province is divided into three natural regions: Northern Shaanxi Plateau, Guanzhong Plain and Hanzhong Basin. The Qinling Mountain is the highest mountain within the border of Shaanxi, whose range stretches from the east to the west in the province. Mt. Taibai’s chief peak is 3,767 meters high. The subtropical climate to the south of Qinling mountain is suitable for wheat, rice, cotton and corn production. The output of raw lacquer occupies the first place in China.

解析     本篇节选自一篇介绍省情概况的文章,介绍省情的文章把重点放在传达信息功能上,翻译的信息一定要准确、全面,表达规范、简洁,不必使用过多的修辞手段。
陕西省位于黄河中游:  “位于”可用“be located;be situated;lie”。  “中游”可用“middle reaches;midstream”。
与山西、内蒙古、宁夏、甘肃、四川、湖北、河南等省为邻:可用“with+省名+as its neighboring provinces”这一结构,使句子显得简练。
陕西地势狭长:“地势”可用“terrain”,此处“狭长”表示地势特征,故采用增词译法,即“the feature of terrain”。
主产水稻、小麦、棉花、玉米等:呼应前句,气候适应,因此水稻等适宜种植,可译为“…is suitable for wheat,rice,cotton and corn production”。
生漆产量居全国首位:  “居……位”可泽为“be in a certain position;occupy a place”;  “位居全国首位”可译成“rank the first in the country;run the first in the country;occupy the first place in the country”。
