表達(dá)難點(diǎn)

1.第2句中的“它為……所作，現(xiàn)收藏于……”如果逐字對(duì)譯為比was painted by…and it is kept 稍顯生硬、不夠順暢。宜將前半句處理成狀語(yǔ)用表被動(dòng)的過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)來(lái)表達(dá)，譯作Painted by Zhang Zeduan.“北宋畫家”則用同位語(yǔ)a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty譯出。

2.第3句中的“寬25.5厘米，長(zhǎng)525厘米”可采用句型……centimeters wide and…centimeters long，也可便用 has a width of…and a length of…句型。

3.倒數(shù)第2句“《清明上河圖》內(nèi)容豐富，繪有大量的人物、樹木……”宜把前半句處理成主句，后半句用介詞 with引出，表伴隨狀態(tài)，譯作the painting is rich in contents with a large number of humans， trees…。

4.最后一句中的“因其具有很髙的歷史價(jià)值和藝術(shù)價(jià)值”可處理成原因狀語(yǔ)，用介詞短語(yǔ)for its very high historic and artistic values來(lái)表達(dá)，使得譯文結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊、語(yǔ)言簡(jiǎn)潔。
