　　六級英語翻譯強化練習附講解：

　　1.計算輔助工具形式:翻譯為a form of manually operated counting aid,其中aid一詞本意為“有助之物”，用在此處表示“輔助工具”已比較貼切， 不必再將“工具”二字譯出。

　　2.理解數字:翻譯為grasp numbers,其中grasp—詞表示“全面領會、理解”之意，用在此處很恰當地譯出了原文“理解”一詞的含義。

　　3.體驗:翻譯為experimenting,此處原文強調的是數學家親自體驗用算盤做簡單算術題，因此有“實驗”的含義，故選用experimenting—詞。

　　1.合院式住宅:譯為courtyard residence即可，其中residence意為“住宅， 民居”。

　　2.坐北對著…東西兩邊…坐南朝北:這個句子含有三個并列分句，且結構基本一致，所以可以用三個相同結構的連續的分句來表達。為了避免表達單調，三個分句可選擇不同的謂語動詞，使譯文既有一致性又富有變化。

　　3.觀光景點:可譯為a tourist attraction 或 a sightseeing spot。

　　4.世界各地的:英語中可把定語前置或者后置，所以此修飾語可譯成all over the world或worldwide.
