1.第1句中的定語(yǔ)“歷史悠久并擁有良好信譽(yù)的”較長(zhǎng),故將其處理成定語(yǔ)從句Which have a long history as well as agood reputation,也可用介詞短語(yǔ) with a long historyand a good reputation 來(lái)表達(dá)。
2.第2句“這些企業(yè)往往具有......,擁有......,取得......”有3個(gè)動(dòng)詞,仔細(xì)分析可發(fā)現(xiàn),第1個(gè)動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)表狀態(tài),第2個(gè)為方式,第3個(gè)為結(jié)果,故翻譯時(shí)將第3個(gè)分句處理成主干,第1個(gè)為伴隨狀語(yǔ),第2個(gè)為方式狀語(yǔ),這樣既可以使句子各成分之間的邏輯關(guān)系更清晰,也更符合英文的表達(dá)習(xí)慣。
3.倒數(shù)第2句“同仁堂創(chuàng)建于1669年,其藥品......”可用并列結(jié)構(gòu)譯出:Tongrentang was founded in1669, and its medical products...!耙?xún)?yōu)良的傳統(tǒng)工藝和顯著的療效”用介詞短語(yǔ)for excellenttraditional manufacturing techniques and good effects 來(lái)表達(dá)。
4.在最后一句中,將“是中國(guó)著名的飯店”處理成主干:Quanjude is a famous restaurant in China。將“以北京烤鴨聞名的全聚德創(chuàng)建于1864年”處理成兩個(gè)并列的狀語(yǔ),“創(chuàng)建于1864年的”和“以北京烤鴨聞名的”, 按照時(shí)間邏輯關(guān)系,用分詞短語(yǔ)譯出 Founded in 1864 and well-known for its Beijing roast ducks。
