问题   筷子由两根长短相同的木棍组成,是中国的传统餐具(eating utensil)。筷子出现在3000多年前,它的出现不仅是中国烹饪文化的变革,也是人类文明的标志。此外,筷子对烹饪技巧的发展也起着推动作用。如今,筷子不仅是一种餐具,还成为一种独特的文化形式,对于我们来说,筷子可以作为艺术品来欣赏、研究和收藏。筷子虽小,但仍受到世界上许多人的推崇。一项有趣的实验表明,当你在使用筷子的时候,许多关节和肌肉都会得到锻炼。

选项

答案  Chopsticks, the traditional eating utensils in China, are a pair of sticks of equal length. Chopsticks appeared more than 3 000 years ago. The appearance of chopsticks is not only a revolution of Chinese cuisine culture, but also a symbol of human civilization. Besides, chopsticks have promoted the development of cooking techniques. Today, chopsticks are not only a kind of tableware, but also have become a unique form of culture, coming in front of us as a work of art for appreciation, research and collection. Chopsticks are small, but they are adored by many people in the world. An interesting experiment shows that many joints and muscles can be exercised when you use chopsticks.

解析       1.第一句中,“筷子由两根长短相同的木棍组成”可以译为Chopsticks are a pair of sticks of equal length,为使译文更地道,“由……组成”可以省略不译。“中国的传统餐具”可处理为“筷子”的同位语,译为the traditional eating utensils in China。
      2.第二句中,翻译“不仅…也是…”时可以用not only…but also…来表达,这是英语中用来关联两个并列结构的常用词组。
      3.第四句中,“独特的”可以翻译为unique。“对于我们来说…收藏”可以处理为现在分词短语作伴随状语,对前面的“一种独特的文化形式”进行补充说明,译为coming in front of us as a work of art for appreciation, research and collection。
      4.最后一句中,“一项有趣的实验表明”也可意译成According to an interesting experiment;“表明”可以翻译成shows或indicates;“关节”可以用joints来表达,要注意“关节和肌肉”是动作的承受者,所以要用被动语态来进行翻译。
