2017年12月大學英語四級翻譯題庫:科幻小說
請將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
科幻小說是20世紀發(fā)展起來的一種文學體裁,科幻小說作家在其作品中描述科學發(fā)現、技術進步以及未來的事情和社會變化如何影響人類。對這些影響的描寫,可能是對科學事實和原理的一種細致而有根據的判斷,或是描寫與這些事實和原理完全矛盾的令人難以置信的一些領域。
參考翻譯:
Science fiction is a literature genre developed in the 20th century in which the fiction writer addresses how scientific discoveries, technological developments, and future events and societal changes affect human beings. The description of these influences may be a careful and informed extrapolation of scientific facts and principles, or it may range into far-fetched areas flatly contradictory of such facts and principles.
