问题     二十四节气(solar terms)的划分起源于黄河流域一带(Yellow River area),是中国古代历法(calendar)特有的重要组成部分和独特创造。在古代中国,人们常用二十四节气来表示季节更替和气候变化状况。节气的制定是我们祖先在长期的农业生产实践中,逐步认识气象变化规律的结果。长期以来,甚至直到今天,二十四节气在中国的农牧业生产(agricultural and animal husbandry production)中一直起着重要的作用。

选项

答案     The twenty-four solar terms is a unique component and creative invention of the Chinese traditional calendar, which originates from the Yellow River area. It was used to indicate the alternation of seasons and climate changes in ancient China. The establishment of solar terms reflected our ancestors’ knowledge about climate changes during their long history of farming activities. Over years, it has played an important role in China’s agricultural and animal husbandry production—even to this day.

解析 1.第一句由两个分句组成,主语是“二十四节气”,这里将“起源于……”处理为从句形式。
2.汉语多重复。第二句中再次出现了“二十四节气”,可以用It来指代,“人们常用……来表示……”可以译为It was used to indicate…。
3.翻译第三句时,首先要梳理出句子的主干部分,即“节气的制定是……的结果”,所以可以译为The establishment of solar terms was the result of….译文中,将“……的结果”转译为reflected,即“反映了……”。
4.最后一句中,主语“二十四节气”同样处理为it,更简洁。
