2017年6月英語六級(jí)考試翻譯提分密訓(xùn)卷（5）

　　為了假期，人們必須提前工作整整一周。這種安排并不局限于勞動(dòng)節(jié)假期。根據(jù)每年的官方安排，法定假日前把周末調(diào)成工作日，上班族就可以享受“更長(zhǎng)的假期”。這意味著，更長(zhǎng)的假期要以更長(zhǎng)的工作周為代價(jià)。然而，公眾不是很接受這種安排。網(wǎng)上調(diào)查的調(diào)查對(duì)象中，高達(dá)75%的人表示不滿這種假期安排，93%的人抱怨假期太短。很多人抱怨負(fù)責(zé)人的安排，呼吁更合理的假期安排。如果假期是以更繁重的工作任務(wù)為代價(jià)，那么上班族會(huì)無力消受。

　　譯文參考：

　　To enjoy a holiday，people often have to work for a whole week previous to it.This arrangement is not just confined to the Labor Day holiday.According to the official schedule each year,office workers can enjoy so-called “a longer holiday”by exchanging their weekend before the legal holiday for weekdays，which means a longer holiday comes at the price of a longer workweek.This arrangement,however,has not been well received by the public.Up to 75 percent of the respondents to a survey on the Internet said they were dissatisfied with it.And 93 percent complained that holidays are too short.Many people have complained about the authorities'arrangement and called for a more reasonable holiday schedule.If holidays are coming along at the cost of an even heavier burden,they will be hardly enjoyable for the workers.

　　重點(diǎn)詞句：

　　1.必須:除了用have to表達(dá)，還可用be forced to或feel obliged to表達(dá)。

　　2.不局限于:可以使用詞組be not confined to或be not restricted to來表達(dá)，其中confine和restrict皆意為“限制，約束”。

　　3.“更長(zhǎng)的假期”:翻譯引號(hào)中的內(nèi)容時(shí)可以采用so-called,例如“可以享受更長(zhǎng)的假期,”就可以翻譯can enjoy a so-called longer holiday,這樣可以表達(dá)出原文諷刺的語氣。

　　4.以更長(zhǎng)的工作周為代價(jià):可譯為at the price of a longer workweek。At the price of意為“以…為代價(jià)”，也可用at the cost of來表達(dá)。

　　5.公眾不是很接受這種安排:可譯為has not been well received by the public。其中receive意為“接受，認(rèn)可”。

　　6.如果假期是以更繁重的工作任務(wù)為代價(jià)…:可譯為If holidays are coming along at the cost of an even heavier burden...

　　7.無力消受:可以理解為“很難讓人從中得到享受”，故譯為be hardly enjoyable。
