英語六級翻譯專題練習原文：女性社會地位

　　英語六級翻譯專題練習講解：

　　1.翻譯第2句“……女性群體在社會各個領域產生了不可忽視的力量”時，先譯出主干(females have the power)，再插入其他成分。“不可忽視的”處理為后置定語，既可用定語從句that cannot be ignored，也可用不定式短語not to beignored來表達。狀語“在社會各個領域”譯作in every/eachfield of society，置于句末。

　　2.第3句中的“越來越多的女性……任職，參與的......活動也明顯增多”可用并列結構譯出a growing numberof females take office... and participate in...。但不如把后半句“參與的......”處理成前半句的結果狀語，用現在分詞短語participating in...來表達，使譯文更具有邏輯性。

　　3.第4句中的“最近的一份調查數據顯示”可表達為according to statistics from a recent survey，也可表達為 statistics form a recent survey showed that...。“每3位”可表達為 one in three，也可表達為one out of three，還可延伸譯作one third of。

　　4.最后一句中的“越來越重要的”有多種譯法：more and more important; increasingly important;growingly important，狀語“在家庭決策中”表達為 in the family decision-making，置于句末。
