2022年上半年翻译专业资格考试(一、二、三级)考试时间为6月18日、19日,大家要认真备考哦。有很多小伙伴在备考的过程中疑惑,CATTI扣分雷区在哪里?不多说,直接分享~
一、单复数和标点符号错误
原文:中国古代哲人说:“凡治国之道,必先富民。”
错误译文:Ancient Chinese philosophers said: ’the key to running a country is to make its people better-off. ’
点评:
1. philosophers改为an ancient Chinese philosopher:出自管仲《管子·治国第四十八》,所以是 an ancient Chinese philosopher,而不是复数,philosopher也可以改为sage,这些古人很厉害的,叫两个都可以。
2. ‘改为双引号:一个引用的应该是双引号,双引号里面才是单引号
3. the 改为The:需要强调的一点是标点问题,如果冒号后面是一整句话,可不加引号。但如果冒号后面表述的内容里有小分句,大家一定记着要把引号加上,不然看着会比较乱。
参考译文:An ancient Chinese philosopher said, “The key to running a country is to make its people better-off.”
二、逻辑关系判断错误
原文:发展的最终目的是造福人民,必须让发展成果更多惠及全体人民。
错误译文:
The ultimate goal of development is to benefit people and the development fruits must be more accessible to all people.
点评:这句话的核心结构是“发展的目的是...”而这个译文
The ultimate goal of development is to benefit people 和the development fruits must be more accessible to all people并列,把逻辑关系理解错了。
参考译文:
The ultimate aim of development is to serve the people by bringing more and more fruits to all our people.
三、冠词漏译
原文:发展的最终目的是造福人民,必须让发展成果更多惠及全体人民。
错误译文:
The ultimate goal of development is to benefit people and the development fruits must be more accessible to all people.
点评:
people前面加the或our:全体人民:all our people或the entire people 不能说whole (whole 强调“完整的,完好无损的” ,而且注意这里特指一个国家对一个国家的人民,所以the不能丢,或者our也可以,但是特指不能丢。
参考译文:
The ultimate aim of development is to serve the people by bringing more and more fruits to all our people.
四、固定短语搭配错误
原文:前不久,联合国发展峰会通过了2030年可持续发展议程。
错误译文:Not long before, the UN Development Summit passed the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.
点评:
Not long before:是没过多久的意思。
比如It was not long before the news was widely circulated. 这个消息不久就哄传开了。改为not long ago,
参考译文:
Not long ago, the UN Sustainable Development Summit adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
五、忽视了副词转换为形容词的翻译思维
原文:在二十国集团领导人安塔利亚峰会上,我倡议二十国集团成员国积极行动起来,落实好可持续发展议程。
错误译文:
At the G20 Summit in Antalya, I called on the members to take action actively and implement the Sustainable Development Agenda.
点评:
actively这里需要改为active,放在action前面,这属于副词转换为英语里面的形容词,“积极行动起来”我们通常说take actions或take active action。
参考译文:
At the G20 Summit in Antalya, I called on the members to take actions and implement the Sustainable Development Agenda.
