2018年考研英語翻譯模擬練習(xí)題（2）

　　1. Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development.

　　分析: (1) 該句的主語為 behaviorists, 謂語為 suggest, 賓語為一個從句, 因此整個句子為 Behaviorist suggest that-clause 結(jié)構(gòu)。

　　(2) 該句共有五個謂語結(jié)構(gòu), 它們的謂語動詞分別為suggest, is raised, are, develop, experience等, 這五個謂語結(jié)構(gòu)之間的關(guān)系為: Behaviorist suggest that-clause 結(jié)構(gòu)為主句; who is raised in an environment為定語從句, 所修飾的先行詞為 child; where there are many stimuli 為定語從句, 所修飾的先行詞為 environment; which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses為定語從句, 所修飾的先行詞為stimuli; 在suggest的賓語從句中, 主語為child, 謂語為experience, 賓語為greater intellectual development. 在作了如上的分析之后, 我們就會對該句具有了一個較為透徹的理解, 然后根據(jù)我們上面所講述的各種翻譯方法, 就可以把該句翻譯成漢語為:

　　行為主義者認(rèn)為, 如果兒童的成長環(huán)境里有許多刺激因素, 這些因素又有利于其適當(dāng)反應(yīng)能力的發(fā)展, 那么, 兒童的智力就會發(fā)展到較高的水平。

　　例 2. For a family of four, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere.

　　分析: (1) 該句的骨干結(jié)構(gòu)為it is more … to do sth than to do sth else. 是一個比較結(jié)構(gòu), 而且是在兩個不定式之間進(jìn)行比較。

　　(2) 該句中共有三個謂語結(jié)構(gòu), 它們之間的關(guān)系為: it is more convenient as well as cheaper to … 為主體結(jié)構(gòu), 但it是形式主語, 真正的主語為第二個謂語結(jié)構(gòu): to sit comfortably at home, 并與第三個謂語結(jié)構(gòu) to go out in search of amusement elsewhere 作比較。

　　(3) 句首的for a family of four作狀語, 表示條件。另外, 還有兩個介詞短語作插入語: for example, with almost unlimited entertainment available,其中第二個介詞短語作伴隨狀語, 修飾to sit comfortably at home.

　　綜合上述翻譯方法，這個句子我們可以翻譯為：

　　譬如, 對于一個四口之家來說, 舒舒服服地在家中看電視, 就能看到幾乎數(shù)不清的娛樂節(jié)目,

　　遣又便宜又方便。
