2017年12月英語六級練習題：翻譯③

從最近幾年的英語六級翻譯真題中，不難看出，翻譯目前考察的方向多偏向於社會經濟、文化等方面，日常複習中我們也要提前儲備一些常考話題材料。小編今天爲大家帶來了幾套六級翻譯的預測題，第三套是古典文化類，希望對大家的學習有所幫助。

請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

1.三十六計

《三十六計》(Thirty-Six Stratagems )是有關戰術的古書。三十六計按照計謀名稱排列，共有六類。書中計謀的名稱有不同的起源，有些源自歷史故事，如“圍魏救趙”;有些源自古代軍事術語，如“聲東擊西”;有些源自習語，如“指桑罵槐”。 每個計謀都帶有解釋和說明。註釋多引自宋朝以前戰爭的激烈言論，也有些引自古代著名謀略家的名言。《三十六計》創作完成後被大衆廣泛閱讀，“三十六計，走爲上計”的說法也被經常使用。

提示

　　1.有關戰術的古書:可譯爲an ancient book concerning the art of war。其中 concerning the art of war是現在分詞作後置定語，修飾 an ancient book。
　　2.圍魏救趙:可譯爲besieging Wei to save Zhao。其中besiege意爲“圍困，包圍”。
　　3.聲東擊西:可譯爲making a feint to the east but attacking in the west。
　　4.指桑罵槐:可譯爲 pointing at the mulberry but scolding the locust tree。
　　5.帶有解釋和說明:使用詞組be followed by來表達，意爲“其後緊隨…”。
　　6.被…廣泛閱讀:可譯爲has been widely read…
　　7.三十六計，走爲上計:可譯爲 of all thirty-six stratagems，fleeing is the best。

2.二十四節氣

24節氣(24 solar terms)是統稱，包括 12節氣(12 majorsolar terms)和 12中氣 (12 minor solar terms),它們彼此之間相互關聯。24節氣反映了天氣變化，指導農 業耕作，也影響着人們的生活。春秋戰國時期，人們開始使用節氣作爲補充曆法 (calendar)。公元前104年，24節氣最終確立。衆所周知，中國是個有着悠久農業發 展史的國家。農業生產受自然規律影響極大。在古代，農民根據太陽的運動安排 農業生產活動。24節氣考慮到了太陽的位置，這就是我們重視它的原因。

提示

　　1.統稱:即“全稱”，可譯爲a whole/general name。
　　2.12節氣:可譯爲12 major solar terms。在月首的叫做節氣，如春分、穀雨等。
　　3.12中氣:可譯爲12 minor solar terms。在月中的叫做中氣，如立夏、立秋等。
　　4.衆所周知:可譯爲as we all know或as is know to all。
　　5.自然規律:可譯爲the laws of nature。這裏的law不是“法律”，而是“規律”的 意思。
　　6.根據太陽的運動:可譯爲according to the move of the sun。
　　7.考慮到...:可譯爲take...into account。
　　8.重視:可譯爲attach importance to。其中to爲介詞，後面要加名詞、代詞或動名詞等。
