问题     如今每逢圣诞节来临,中国的城市到处都是圣诞的迹象。圣诞节越来越受到人们,尤其是年轻人的欢迎。其他的西方节日,如感恩节(Thanksgiving Day)也日益流行。一些学者担心年轻人过分崇尚西方节日,而对中国传统节日的热情逐渐降温。其实对于许多中国人来说,西方节日只是一些能让他们和朋友一起放松、聚会的日子。他们觉得没有必要去抵制西方节日。

选项

答案 Today, when Christmas is approaching, Chinese cities are rilled with signs of Christmas. Christmas becomes increasingly popular with Chinese people, especially the youth. Other western festivals, such as Thanksgiving Day, are prevailing day by day. Some scholars fear that young people adore western festivals too much, and their passion toward Chinese traditional ones would fade out. In fact, for many Chinese, western festivals are just some occasions for them to relax or have a party with friends. They think it is unnecessary to reject western festivals.

解析 1.第1句中的“来临”可用现在进行时来表达动作临近之义,译为is approaching;“中国的城市到处都是圣诞的迹象”可直译为signs of Christmas can be found almost everywhere in Chinese cities,表达为Chinese cities are filled with signs of Christmas会更简洁。
2.第4句的两个分句“年轻人过分崇尚……,而……热情逐渐降温”均较长,意思独立,可译成并列的结构young people adore…too much…and their passion…would fade out。
3.倒数第2句的主干是“西方节日只是日子”,翻译时应先译出主要结构(western holidays are just someoccasions),此处将“日子”表达为occasion更贴切。定语“能让他们和朋友一起放松、聚会的”较长。可将其处理成后置定语,用介词短语for them to relax or have a party with friends来表达。
