As many as 6,000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honor, too, for all who compete, win or lose. That is in spirit of the Olympics--- to take part is what matters. 　　The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first . For it was in Greece that the Olympics began. 2) The team of the country where the Games are being held---the host country ----marches in last. The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame.3) A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display. 　　The competitors begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field , but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a different sport ---riding, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running. Points are gained for each event. 4) Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams. 5) More and more women are taking part in the games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics. Women’s swimming events were introduced in 1912. But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as the men. 　　参考答案： 　　1)每隔四年，100多个国家选送他们最优秀的运动员云集于此，争夺世界体育比赛中的最高荣誉。(翻译的时候可以增加词汇，可以分成两部分进行表述。) 　　2)奥运会的承办国----东道国队的代表最后入场。(注意定语从句的翻译) 　　3)东道国的一名运动员代表全体参赛队员宣誓。(省译法，介词from省略。) 　　4)奖牌颁发给获胜的运动员和国家队。(注意语态的转换) 　　5)越来越多的女性正参加到奥运会的竞赛中来。(注意此句的进行时态)   　　原文： 　　6) Every land has its own dining custom, and the United States is no exception. Americans feel that the first rule of being a polite guest is to be on time. If a person is invited to dinner at 6;30,the hostess expects him to be there at 6:30 or not more than a few minutes after. Because she usually does her own cooking , she times the meal so that the coffee and meat will be at their best at the time she asks the guest to come. 　　7) If he is late, the food will not be so good, and the hostess will be disappointed. When the guest cannot come on time, he calls his host or hostess on the telephone, gives the reason, and tells at what time he thinks he can come. 　　As guests continue to arrive, the men in the group stand when a woman enters and remain standing until she has found a chair. A man always rises when he is being introduced to a woman. 　　8) A woman does not rise when she is being introduced either to a man or a woman unless the woman is much older. 　　9) When the guests sit down at a dinner table, it is customary for the men to help the ladies by pushing their chairs under them. Even an American may be confused by the number of knives, forks, and spoons beside his plate when he sits down to a formal dinner. The rule is simple, however: use them in the order in which they lie, beginning from the outside. Or watch the hostess and do what she does. 　　10)The small fork on the outside on the left is for salad, which is often served with the soup. The spoon on the outside at the right is for soup, and so on. Sometimes there is a separate little knife, called a butter spreader, on a small bread-and –butter plate at the left. As the bread is passed , each guest puts his piece on the bread-and butter plate. 　　参考答案： 　　6)每个国家都有自己的餐饮习俗，美国也不另外。(直译法) 　　7)如果你迟到了，食物就不会那么新鲜，女主人也会为此而感到失望。 　　(增译法：增加词汇是在译文中增加一些原文中无其形而有其义的词，其目的是为了使译文的意义完整而明确，更符合汉语的表达习惯。本句增加了“为此”，使句子的意思更完整。) 　　8)而当一位女士被介绍给男士或女士时，她无需起立，除非那是一位比她年长的妇人。 　　(英语状语从句用在主句后面的较多,而汉语的状语从句用在主句前的较多,因此,在许多情况下,应将状语从句放在主句前面;而且长句一般用分译法。) 　　9)当客人到餐桌旁准备就餐时，通常男士应帮助女士拉开椅子让她们坐下。(省译法：by没有译出。) 　　10)靠左边最外面的小叉是用来吃色拉的，色拉经常和汤一起上。 　　(增译法，增加了“吃”，而且定语从句中被动语态翻译为主动语态。) 2022年成人高考专升本《英语》翻译练习(五) 2022年成人高考专升本《英语》翻译练习(七)
