问题
经过了几千年缓慢的各代人都几乎觉察不到的发展之后,城市正在突然迅速地向四面八方扩展开来。中国现在的城市人口每年以7%的速度在增长,而在大城市里则达到每年增长10%。仅举一个可以看得见的城市加速扩展的例子,上海目前每小时要增加十栋楼房和一百平方米的马路,且这个速度近几年并不会减慢。随着农村面积的逐步缩小,绝大多数人口正在向市区迁移,我们正在向城市化的社会发展。
选项
答案
After millennia of slow growth that was hardly noticed by each generation, the cities are suddenly reaching out in every direction. City population in China increases by 7 percent a year, while in big cities the rate may be as high as 10 percent a year. To give only one example of almost visible acceleration, Shanghai today grows by 10 dwellings and 100 square metres of road every hour. There is no reason to believe that this pace will slacken. We are now heading towards an urbanized society as the vast majority of rural people move into the city with the rural areas gradually shrinking.
解析
1.第一句中“几千年”可译为millennia,millennium指“一千年”,复数形式为millennia:“各代人都几乎觉察不到的”可译为定语从句that was hardly noticed by each generation;“向四面八方扩展”可译为reaching out in every direction。
2.第二句中“以……速度在增长”译为increases by…。
3.“而在大城市里则达到每年增长10%”,这句话与前一个分句形成比较,强调这个速度更快,在引文中应当增补as high as体现出这层意思,注意修饰增长率rate的形容词用high,而不是much。
4.第三句“看得见的”在文中应引申为“明显的,显著的”,可用visible来翻译,这个词兼有“可见的”和“明显的”双重意义;“这个速度近几年并不会减慢”,这句话虽然是一个陈述句,但其实是一种肯定的推测语气,可以通过增词弱化陈述语气,从而表达出推测语气,译为There is no reason to believe that this pace will slacken。
5.最后一句的信息重心是最后一个分句“我们正在向城市化的社会发展”,译文需要调整语序,将重心前置。
