　　英語六級翻譯練習真題：筷子

　　筷子(chopsticks)是中國傳統的獨具特色的進食工具(dining utensils)，至今已有數千年的歷史。筷子在古代被稱為“箸”，大約從明朝開始才有了“筷子”的稱呼。筷子多為竹子制成，也有用木頭、象牙(ivory)、金屬或其他材料制作而成。它要么上方下圓，要么上下全圓而上粗下細。不管其形狀如何，筷子必須是成對使用的，并且兩只筷子的大小長短要相同。筷子是中國人日常生活的必備工具，它的發明充分反映了中國人民的智慧。

　　1.第一句的主干結構為“筷子是進食工具至今已有數千年的歷史”可使用插入語的形式，進行補充說明，使用 with ahistory of...進行翻譯。

　　2.第二句“筷子在古代…”中包含時間狀語“在古代”，因此句子的時態應為過去時。

　　3.在“它要么上方下圓…上粗下細”一句中，“上下”主要指的是筷子的上半部分、下半部分，使用upper part和lower part來表達;“上方下圓”英譯時可以分享系動詞are，譯作upper parts are square and lower parts round，避免重復;“上下全圓”可譯作句子的主干，后跟介詞短語with thicker upper parts and thinner lower parts說明“上粗下細”的形狀。

　　4.“不管其形狀如何”在翻譯時使用“whatever+n.(their shapes)+be動詞”結構，相當于狀語從句nomatter what their shapes are;“大小長短要相同”沒有直譯成 be of the same size and height，而譯為be identical to each other,后者的譯法更加優美。

　　5.最后一句中“它的發明…”可使用which引導的非限制性定語從句結構，對前一句進行進一步的說明。
