问题     旗袍(qipao)是一种雅致的中国服装,源于中国的满族(Manchu Nationality)。在清代,旗袍是王室女性穿着的宽松长袍。上世纪20年代,受西方服饰影响,旗袍发生了一些变化。袖口(cuffs)变窄,袍身变短。这些变化使女性美得以充分展现。
    如今,旗袍经常出现在世界级的时装秀上。中国女性出席重要社交聚会时,旗袍往往是她们的首选。很多中国新娘也会选择旗袍作为结婚礼服。一些有影响的人士甚至建议将旗袍作为中国女性的民族服饰。

选项

答案 Qipao, a kind of elegant Chinese dress, stems from Manchu Nationality in China. In Qing Dynasty, qipao is a kind of loose gown designed for royal women. In the 1920s, qipao underwent some changes under the influence of western clothing. For example, the cuffs of qipao have become narrower and the gown has become shorter. These changes have enabled qipao to fully show women’s beauty. Nowadays, qipao often appears in world-class fashion shows. It is always the first choice for Chinese women as they attend important social gatherings. Also, many Chinese brides may select qipao as their wedding dress. Some influential figures even suggest making qipao the national costume for Chinese women.

解析 1.翻译第一段第一句时,可以像参考译文一样,把“一种雅致的中国服饰”译为“旗袍”的同位语,把“源于中国的满族”译作谓语;另外一种译法是把“旗袍是一种雅致的中国服饰”作为主句,用一个定语从句表达“源于中国的满族”修饰“旗袍”。因此,整句话还可译为Qipao is a kind of elegant Chinese dress,which is originatedfrom Manchu Nationality in China。
2.翻译第一段第二句时,可以像参考译文一样,用一个后置定语修饰“宽松长袍”,也可以把“王室女性穿着的”译作“宽松长袍”的定语从句,即qipao is a kind of loose robe which royal women wear。
3.翻译第一段第三句时,表达“受西方服饰影响”可以用短语under the influence of…,也可以用被动句式beinfluenced by…;翻译“旗袍发生了一些变化”时,可用“旗袍”作主语,谓语为underwent。
4.翻译第一段第四句时,需要注意“变窄”和“变短”是与上世纪20年代之前进行比较,因此,需要用比较级;此外,此处的“变窄”和“变短”是“发生变化”的例子,故在句首增译For example,以使上下文联系更为紧密。
5.翻译第一段第五句时,“这些变化使女性美得以展现”可直译为These changes have reflected the beauty offemales.也可以像参考译文那样意译为“这些变化使旗袍展示了女性美”,表达更为地道。
6.翻译第二段第一句时,“出现”可译为主动语态的appears,也可译为被动的is seen,即qipao is often seen inthe world-class fashion shows。
7.翻译第二段第二句时,“中国女性出席重要社交聚会时”这一时间状语从句可放在句首,也可放在句末。因此这句话还可译为When Chinese women attend some important social gatherings,they often choose qipao astheir first dress。
8.翻译第二段第三句时,“选择”可译为参考译文中的select,也可译为choose。
9.翻译第二段第四句时,“建议”可译为动词suggest,也可译为名词短语make a suggestion;此外,其宾语可以译为动名词结构,也可以译为虚拟语气结构。因此,整句话还可译为Some influential people even make asuggestion that qipao should become women’s national costume in China。
