  城隍廟

中 國的很多城鎮都有自己的'城隍爺(Cheng-huang god)來保護。許多城隍爺來源於他們所保護的城鎮的真實人物。這些人物在世時很有名。當敵人襲擊他們時,城隍爺會保護城鎮的城牆,還會確保閻王爺 (the King of the Dead)不經他的允許不能帶走任何人的靈魂。如果城鎮裏有人在做壞事,城隍爺就會託夢告訴你是誰在做壞事,這樣你就可以阻止他們了。

  參考翻譯:

Many towns in China had their own Cheng-huang gods to protect the of Cheng-huang gods were based on real men from the towns they e men had been well known while they were g-huang gods protected the walls of the town when enemies were attacking the also made sure the King of the Dead didn't take any souls away without his anyone was doing anything bad in the town,Cheng-huang god would appear in your dream and make a request,telling you who it was,then you could stop them.

  翻譯講解:

1.許多城隍爺來源於他們所保護的城鎮的真實人物:該句關鍵在於“來源於”的翻譯,這裏要表達的意思是“某形象根據真實人物來塑造”,故可譯為 based on sb.。

2.當敵人襲擊他們時,城隍爺會保護城鎮的城牆,還會確保閻王爺不經他的允許不能帶走任何人的靈魂: 該句偏長,可以翻譯為兩個句子。第一句即“當敵人襲擊他們時,城隍爺會保護城鎮的城牆”,其中後半部分可譯為主句,前半部分可譯為以when引導的狀語從 句;“確保”可譯為made sure,“不經他的允許”可譯為without his permission,“帶走任何人的靈魂可以用take短語來表示,即take any souls away。

  蠟染

據 説在中國,蠟染(wax printing)早在秦末或者漢初就已經出現,但它最初作為成品出現是在唐朝。蠟染是“絲綢之路”的商品之一,這些商品被出口到歐洲和其他地方。蠟染在 中國是代代傳承下來的。它是苗族(Miao ethnic minority)獨特的繪畫和手工染色工藝。作為中國最具有民族特色的藝術之一,蠟染產品的種類很多,有牆上掛飾、郵包、書包、桌套等等。

  【參考翻譯】

It is believed that wax printing appeared in China as early as the late Qin or early Han Dynasty, but it first occurred as a finished product during the Tang Dynasty. It was one of “the Silk Road" goods that were exported to Europe and printing has been passed down from generation to generation in China. It is a unique drawing and dyeing handwork of the Miao ethnic minority. As one of the most characteristic national arts in China, wax printing products are various including wall hangings, letter bags, bags, table-clothes and so on.

  【翻譯講解】

1.據説在中國,蠟染早在秦末或者漢初就已經出現: “據説”可譯為it is said that 或it is believed that。表示時間狀語的詞“秦末”和“漢初”分別可譯為the late Qin Dynasty和the early Han Dynasty。“早在”可翻譯為as early as。

2.但它最初作為成品出現是在唐朝:該句中的“出現”可譯為occur,避免與上文重複,其是不及物動詞。“成品”可譯為a finished product,動詞的過去分詞可以表示動作已完成。

3.蠟染在中國是代代傳承下來的:“代代”可譯為from generation to generation, from…to意為“從一個到另一個' “流傳’’可譯為pass down。

4.中國最具有民族特色的藝術之一:“最…之一”可翻譯為“one of the+形容詞最高級”的形式。“民族特色的藝術”可譯為characteristic national art。
