本课为原创大学书面英语能力课程,不对应统一的人教版大学教材或固定大学年级;不含听力。练习目标只反映本站材料掌握情况,不保证实际考试分数。
学习目标
按中文时间线选择现在、过去、完成和计划表达,避免见“了”就机械过去时。
用解释性表达翻译文化项目,保持数量、范围和事实不增加。
在本课主题中理解新增词块的语境用法,并把其中相关词项迁移到新的完整句子。
核心讲解
文化翻译先保信息,不追求生僻词。没有固定译名证据时可采用清楚描述,并避免把自创译名宣称为官方名称。地方手工艺可译local handicrafts;“传承”视语境译pass on a tradition或preserve traditional skills;“吸引游客”是attract visitors,不是attract visitors' eyes。
中文“了”不自动等于过去时:“近几年发生了变化”常用现在完成时;“去年举办了活动”用一般过去时;“已有五百年历史”可用has a history of…或dates back…,不必为了中文一个“有”固定用there is。没有确切年份不要自己补数字。
主动被动按信息焦点选择:“当地人每年举办活动”→Local residents hold the event every year;“活动每年举办”→The event is held every year。英语被动需要be+过去分词。传统仍在延续用现在时;计划举行用plan to,不把“将计划”写成既成事实。
原创翻译材料
这座小镇以传统手工艺闻名。过去,许多年轻人离开家乡,到大城市寻找工作。近年来,一些人回来开办工作室,把传统图案运用到日常用品中。当地学校也邀请手艺人向学生介绍制作过程。这些活动既帮助年轻人了解当地文化,也为手艺人提供了交流经验的机会。但如何在扩大销售的同时保持产品质量,仍是需要解决的问题。
参考译文:The small town is known for its traditional handicrafts. In the past, many young people left their hometown to look for work in large cities. In recent years, some have returned to open studios, using traditional patterns on everyday products. Local schools also invite craftspeople to explain how the products are made. These activities help young people learn about local culture and give craftspeople opportunities to share their experience. However, maintaining product quality while expanding sales remains a problem to be addressed.
末句用-ing短语作主语,maintaining…remains单数;to be addressed保留“待解决”,没有假装已有答案。craftspeople可替换为local artisans,普通准确表达优先。
例题解析
生硬译文:These activities not only let young people understand culture, but also provide craftsmen communicate experiences chances.
改为:These activities not only help young people learn about local culture but also give craftspeople opportunities to share their experience. 两个谓语help/give平行;give somebody opportunities to do;experience指整体经验时不可数,具体经历才可数experiences。

参考答案与解析
1
The event was first held last year. be用过去式was,hold的过去分词held;不能was hold。
2
In recent years, more and more students have begun to take an interest in local culture. An increasing number of students…也可;不能把more and more擅自量化。
3
experience。此处总体经验不可数。experiences则偏一段段具体经历,如two memorable experiences,语义不同。
4
The town is famous for its traditional patterns. be known for也可;of不符合本搭配。
5
The school plans to invite two craftspeople next term. 不能The school invited…,那是已发生。
6
These activities help young people understand local culture while giving craftspeople opportunities to share their experience. However, how to expand sales without reducing product quality remains a challenge. 替代译法如share their experience→exchange ideas在“交流经验”上可接受但略宽,若要求最精准可写exchange practical knowledge。10分:两方面作用4、扩销同时保质难题3、句法搭配2、连接1;“quality has already improved”无原文依据。
7
The workshop used traditional motifs on new products, combining craftsmanship with innovation. combining逻辑主语workshop一致,with连接结合对象。6分:信息3,词块2,句法1。
8
Commercialisation may create opportunities, but transmitting craft techniques and maintaining quality control remain important. 两项-ing并列主语用remain。6分:信息3,搭配2,一致1。
