2020翻译资格二级笔译每日一练:品酒之道

来源 :中华考试网 2020-09-25

  一、译前自测-ECO选段(英译汉)

  建议落笔翻译,若手头暂无纸笔,也可先进行视译。

  Wine collectors like to proclaim that “all roads lead to Burgundy.” They often wince at the plonk they drank when starting their hobby. In America and Australia, a common entry point is local “fruit bombs”: heavy, alcoholic wines that taste of plum or blackberry; bear the vanilla or mocha imprint of oak barrels; and should be drunk within a few years of bottling. As oenophiles gain experience, they start seeking reds to have with, say, chicken as well as steak. That leads to lower-octane French options: Cabernet Sauvignon from Bordeaux rather than Napa; Rhône Syrah instead of Barossa Shiraz. But once you value complexity and finesse over power, your vinous destination is pre-ordained.

  葡萄酒收藏者总爱说,“条条大路通勃艮第。”刚开始培养品酒的爱好时,入喉的廉价酒常让他们蹙起眉头。在美国和澳大利亚,常见的入门酒是当地产的“水果炸弹”:口感浓郁、酒精度高的葡萄酒,喝起来有李子或黑莓的味道,而且带有橡木桶赋予的香草或摩卡风味,在装瓶后的几年内饮用为佳。随着葡萄酒行家们经验的增多,他们开始寻觅和鸡肉、牛排等多种食物都能搭配的红葡萄酒。这就把他们引向了辛烷值更低的法国葡萄酒:选择波尔多产区的赤霞珠,而不是纳帕谷的赤霞珠;选罗讷河谷的西拉,而不是巴罗萨谷的设拉子。但是,一旦你重视酒的复杂和细致度更甚于劲道,那么你的品酒之旅终将走到一个早已注定的地方。
