2017年12月大学英语六级翻译练习题(五)

  请将下面这段话翻译成英文:

  裸婚(naked wedding)指没有房子、车子或大量存款的婚姻。新人竭力简化全过程。许多情况下,甚至连婚礼都省去了,以降低成本。要父母同意裸婚是很困难的。在20世纪90年代,如果你拥有电视机、摩托车、洗衣机,计划结婚时你会更有信心。近来,婚礼花销也迅速上涨。作为适婚年龄的年轻人,求婚之前,你应该有一辆汽车、一套公寓和一颗钻石。否则新娘父母的极大阻碍会打败你,让你感到失望。更多年轻的恋人不得不选择不经父母同意裸婚。

  参考翻译:

  1.大量存款:可译为considerable deposit。其中considerable意为“很多的,大量的”,还可以用词组agreat deal of来表达。

  2.降低成本:可译为cut down the cost。

  3.要父母同意裸婚是很困难的:该句翻译时采用了“it is+名词+to do”的句型,使句子结构更加紧凑。

  4.作为适婚年龄的年轻人:可译为as young people ofmarriage age。其中marriage age意为“适婚年龄”。

  5.新娘父母的极大阻碍:可译为many obstacles from the bride's parents。

  6.打败你,让你感到失望:可合并译为defeat you with despair。这里用with despair作状语表示“让你感到失望”,句子更显简洁。

  7.不经父母同意:可译为without parents'approval。
