选项

答案 香港中文大学成立于1963年,是一所研究型综合大学,以“结合传统与现代,融汇中国与西方”为创校使命。50多年来,它一直致力于弘扬中华传统文化,坚持双语(bilingual)教育,并推行独特的书院制度(college system),在香港教育界卓然而立。其校园占地134公顷(hectare),是世界上最美丽的校园之一。灵活的学分制赋予学生更大的学习自主权。它的多元教育有助于充分发挥每一个学生的潜能。

解析 1.首句由三个短句构成,翻译时首先要分析这三个短句之间的语义关系。第一个短句讲的是香港中文大学成立的时间,可译为一个分词短语作该句的状语,由于“成立”和句子的主语“香港中文大学”构成动宾关系,所以译为founded in 1963。后两个短句讲的是学校的性质和使命,通过分析这两句间的语义关系可知,第二个短句可译为句子的主干the Chinese University of Hong Kong is a research-oriented comprehensive university,第三个短句译为由with引出的介词短语;“使命”的定语为“结合传统与现代,融汇中国与西方”,可译成“to combine…with…and bring together…”,动词不定式结构修饰mission。
2.第二句比较长,注意分析句子的前后逻辑关系,该句最后一个短句“在香港教育界卓然而立”是结果,所以可将这部分作为句子的主体结构,译为“it has distinguished itself in…”,而“弘扬中华传统文化,坚持双语教育,并推行独特的书院制度”这三个并列短语译成由介词短语by virtue of引出的介宾短语作状语。
3.第三句中,“占地134公顷”可译为134-hectare,修饰campus。
4.第四句中,“学分制”可译为credit unit system;“赋予”可以理解为“允许”,译为allows;“学习自主权”可以译为freedom for self learning。
5.第五句中,“多元教育”和“充分发挥”分别用the multi-faceted education和give full play to来表达。
