问题 徐霞客一生周游考察了十六个省,足迹几乎遍及全国。他在考察的过程中,从来不盲目迷信书本上的结论。他发现前人研究的地理的记载有许多不很可靠的地方。为了进行真实细致的考察,他很少乘车坐船。几乎全靠双脚翻山越岭,长途跋涉:为了弄清大自然的真相,他总是挑选道路艰险的山区,人迹稀少的森林进行考察,发现了许多奇山秀景:他常常选择不同的时间和季节,多次重游各地名山,反复观察变换的奇景。

选项

答案He never blindly accepted the conclusions given in books in his exploration. And he found many inaccuracies in the travel notes on geography written by his predecessors. He seldom traveled by horse cart or boat but tramped over hill and dale, and trudged long distances most of the time with the aim of conducting a real and careful exploration. To find out the true features of the great world of nature, he would walk into mountainous areas with the most treacherous trails and into jungles seldom visited by human beings. The reward for such work was the discovery of many fantastically beautiful scenes. He would revisit famous mountains at different time and in different seasons to observe the changing magnificent views time and again.

解析 1.本段是对历史人物徐霞客的介绍,因此整体时态采用过去时。翻译的过程中,在句子的组织、安排上尚无难度,但是对于学生的词汇量是个不小考验。
2.第1句中的“迷信”实际上指的是“接受”,故应译作accept为宜。“盲目地”译作blindly;“不可靠的地方”即不正确、不精确之处,可译作inaccuracy;“前人研究的地理的记载”译作the travel notes on geographywritten by his predecessors。
3.“他很少乘车坐船”中的“车”特指那个年代的马车,故译作horse cart;“翻山越岭”用成语tramp over hilland dale表示;“长途跋涉”译作trudge long distances。
4.“道路艰险的山区”译作mountainous areas with the most treacherous trails,“人迹稀少的森林”译作jungles seldom visited by human beings。
5.本段已有很多的句子以he为主语,在翻译“发现了许多奇山秀景”时译文变换了说法,同时将“发现”由动词变成名词形式,译成The reward for such work is…;“奇山秀景”重点是秀景,因为“奇山”也属于“景”,因此译文笼统地译作了fantastically beautiful scenes。
6.“重游”译作revisit;“反复观察变换的奇景”带有结果、目的意味,因此,可以用表示目的的不定式,译成toobserve the changing magnificent views time and again。
