问题     重庆,地处中国内陆之西南,属中亚热带季风气候,夏日阳光炽烈,故称“火炉”,城市依山而建,人谓“山城”,冬春云轻雾重,又号“雾都”。1937年,抗日战争爆发,南京失陷,国民政府西迁重庆,又把这里定为“陪都”。由于第二次世界大战中重庆在反法西斯战争中的重要地位,联合国总部那幅巨大的世界地图上,中国版图仅标出四座城市:北京、上海、南京、重庆。

选项

答案 Chongqing is located in the southwestern part of mainland China with a typical subtropical monsoon climate. It is hot in summer with scorching sun. Hence it got the name of "Furnace City". Chongqing is also called "Mountain City" because it is a city built on hillsides with mountains on its four sides. In winter and spring, Chongqing is often enveloped in clouds and mist. It is therefore sometimes called "The Fog City". In 1937, soon after the occupation of Nanjing by Japanese invading armies, Kuomintang government moved to Chongqing and officially proclaimed it as its "War-time Capital". On account of the important role played by Chongqing in the Second World War, on the huge map of the world displayed in the United Nations Headquarters, only four Chinese cities are marked and named. They are Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Chongqing.

解析 1.本段主体内容为一般性描述,故采用一般现在时为总体时态。
2.第2句的“陪都”是由于战乱,在首都以外另设的一个首都,此处可简译为War-time Capital:“把这里定为‘陪都’”可根据历史事实,译为officially proclaimed it as its“War-time Capital”。
3.“第二次世界大战”和“反法西斯战争中”所指相同,所以翻译时可省略其中的一个,译为the Second WorldWar即可。
4.第3句的“联合国总部”英文官方说法为United Nations Headquarters。原文中“世界地图”和“中国版图”之间的逻辑关系含糊,按本意应理解为“世界地图上的中国版图部分”,为使译文简洁,可以将“中国版图”省略,后面“四座城市”增补为“四座中国城市”,即译为four Chinese cities。
