五 A + a1 + a2 + a3 结构
这种结构实际上就是以上几种结构的延伸,这样的延续可能多个,而不止三个,其实方法都是一样, 就是将后三者变成并列层次,要么是定语从句,要么是同位语,要么是介词结构。
例1:奥林匹克公园占地1215公顷,其中包括760公顷的森林绿 地,50公顷的国际展览体育中心以及405公顷的中华民族园。
The Olympic Games Park covers an area of 1215 hectares, including 760 hectares woods and grassland, 50 hectares International Exhibition Sports Center and 405 hectares Chinese Ethnic Park. /The Olympic Park covering 1215 hectares includes 760-hectare woods and grassland, 50-hectare International Exhibition Sports Center and 405-hectare Chinese Ethnic Park. (这句话提供了两种翻译版本,前者是将后三者变成介词短语,第二种把后三者直接变成了表语,总之就是要体现出A句和后几句的差异和关系。)
例2:在奥林匹克公园主 建筑区内将建成容纳8万人的主体育场、2个大型综合体育馆、运动员村和国际展览体育中心。
In the main building area of the Olympic Games Park, a main stadium which accommodates 80 thousand people, 2 large sports complexes, the athletes’ village and the International Exhibition Sports Center are now under construction. (这句用的方法还是把后面的四者都变成了主语,和“奥林匹克公园主建筑区”这句形成结构上的差异。)
六 A + a + B + b 结构
这种结构就是把两个A + a结构放在一起,其实方法和第一种很像,但是要形成两个主句和两个从属成分。
例1:2000年,全国共有普通高中14600所,在校生1201万 人,职业中学2万所,在校学生1295万人。
In 2000, there were 14.6 thousand regular senior high schools in China with 12.01 million students at school and 20 thousand vocational schools with 12.95 million students at school. (这句的翻译方法就是用A + with + and + B + with的机构,这种方法在口译考试出现的频率是最高的。)
例2:2000年,全国 有妇幼保健院609个,医务工作者7.2万人,妇幼保健所、站2598个。基层医务工作者7.5万人。
In 2000, there were 609 women and children health centers with 72 thousand health and medical workers and 2598 local women and children health centers with 75 grass root health and medical workers. (这句的翻译方法和上句同样。)
例3:我国于1999年 10月已进入人口老龄化国家的行列,并以年均3%的速度持续增长,我们80岁以上的老人已达1100万,并以年均5%的速度增长。
China has become an aged society since October 1999 with an average annual growth rate of 3%. The number of the aged people over 80 years old reached 11 million with an average annual growth rate of 5%. (这句话说明了两个事实,所以在翻译的时候,我们可以分割成两个A + a结构来进行翻译。)
