【題目】B

Chinese writer Mo Yan is famous all over the world, but do you know Anna Gustafson Chen, his Swedish translator?

Chen was born in 1965 in Sweden.①她很小的時(shí)候就開始學(xué)習(xí)漢語。Now she is quite good at Chinese. She has been translating Chinese books into Swedish for more than 20 years. By the year of 2012, she had translated 20 Chinese novels(小說). She has finished translating Mo Yan’s Red Sorghum, The Garlic Ballads and Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out. She has also translated books from other famous Chinese writers, for example, Yu Hua’s To Live and Su Tong’s Wives and Concubines. Chen has won the Swedish Academy Translation Award for her works.

Chen first read Mo Yan’s novel Red Sorghum in the early 1990s.＂I read Ge Haowen’s English translation in a bookstore. I found it interesting so later I bought the Chinese version and tried to translate it. It took me a long time because it was not my professional job. I had to translate it only in my free time,＂ Chen says.

Though Mo Yan wrote the first draft(初稿) of Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out in only 43 days, Chen spent six years translating it.

Chen says her work has opened up a window to the world. She says, ＂②Learning_Chinese_has_let_me_love_more_and_more_about_China_and_Chinese_culture.＂

【解析】

【1】題意：為什么安娜. 古斯塔夫森. 陳嘗試翻譯莫言的小說《紅高粱》呢？考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第三句I found it interesting so later I bought the Chinese version and tried to translate it.可知答案是Because she found it interesting.。

【2】題意：陳花了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間來翻譯《生死疲勞》的初稿？根據(jù)第四段中Chen spent six years translating it.可知答案是Six years.。

【3】題意：莫言花了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間寫完《生死疲勞》初稿？根據(jù)第四段中Though Mo Yan wrote the first draft(初稿) of Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out in only 43 days，可知答案是Only 43 days.。

【4】漢譯英：一看時(shí)間，由時(shí)間確定句子的時(shí)態(tài)；二看主語，確定主謂一致；三有沒有固定短語。經(jīng)過分析可知此句可翻譯成一個(gè)時(shí)間狀語從句，＂很小的時(shí)候＂：when she was very young；學(xué)習(xí)漢語：learn Chinese；開始做某事：start doing sth./ start to do sth.；故答案是She started learning Chinese when she was very young. （或She started to learn Chinese when she was very young.）。

【5】英譯漢：首先分清句子結(jié)構(gòu)，是簡(jiǎn)單句還是復(fù)合句；二要看句子的時(shí)態(tài)；三翻譯時(shí)不要一字一句的翻譯，意思要準(zhǔn)確，語句要通順，盡量做到＂達(dá)、雅、順＂。Learning Chinese學(xué)習(xí)漢語；let sb. do：讓某人做某事；more and more ：越來越…；故答案是＂學(xué)習(xí)漢語讓我越來越喜歡中國和中國文化。＂
