請(qǐng)將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
《紅樓夢(mèng)》問(wèn)世二百年以來(lái),通過(guò)漢文原文和各種譯文讀過(guò)此書(shū)的人,不知有多少億!這么多的讀者哪一個(gè)是先看批評(píng)家的文章,然而再讓批評(píng)家牽著鼻子走,按圖索驥地去讀原作呢?我看是絕無(wú)僅有的。一切文學(xué)作品,特別是象《紅樓夢(mèng)》這樣偉大的作品,內(nèi)容異常地豐富,涉及到的社會(huì)層面異常地多,簡(jiǎn)直象是一個(gè)寶山,一座迷宮。而讀者群就更加復(fù)雜,他們來(lái)讀《紅樓夢(mèng)》,會(huì)各就自己的特點(diǎn),欣賞該書(shū)中的某一個(gè)方面,受到鼓舞,受到啟發(fā),引起了喜愛(ài);也可能受到打擊,引起了憎惡?傊乔Р钊f(wàn)別。
參考翻譯:
Ever since the publication of A Dream of Red Mansions some 200 years ago, hundreds of millions of people have read its Chinese original or its translations in various languages. Of these innumerable people, how many have read the novel by starting with a perusal of the critics’ articles and allowing themselves to be led by the nose by the critics as to how to read the novel? Next to none. All literary works, especially a monumental one like A Dream of Red Mansions, are extremely rich in content and involve diverse social strata-to such an extent that they virtually resemble a mountain of treasure or a labyrinth. And the readers are even more complicated, differing from each other in family background. They will each appreciate a certain aspect of the novel according to their own individuality. They may feel inspired and enlightened, and hence love it, or they may feel hurt, and hence loathe it. In short, the reactions vary.

請(qǐng)將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
轉(zhuǎn)基因食品(Genetically Modified Food;GMF)是利用基因工程技術(shù)生產(chǎn)的食品。它具有產(chǎn)量高、營(yíng)養(yǎng)豐富、抗病力強(qiáng)等優(yōu)勢(shì),但也存在明顯的缺陷—可能會(huì)造成基因污染(genecontamination)。因此,轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的安全性一直是一個(gè)有爭(zhēng)議的話題。在中國(guó),政府和科學(xué)界支持轉(zhuǎn)基因作物的推廣,卻持續(xù)引發(fā)信任危機(jī)。鑒于人們對(duì)相關(guān)農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的安全擔(dān)憂,中國(guó)政府草擬了新的糧食法,試圖對(duì)轉(zhuǎn)基因食品進(jìn)行更嚴(yán)格的管理。該法規(guī)定,任何單位和個(gè)人不得在主要糧食品種(principal grain cultivars)上應(yīng)用轉(zhuǎn)基因技術(shù)。
參考翻譯:
Genetically Modified Food/GMF refers to foodproduced by applying the technology of geneticengineering. It has the advantages of highproductivity, rich nutrition and strong diseaseresistance, etc. But its defect is also apparent—itmay lead to gene contamination. Thus, the safety of GMF remains a controversial topic. InChina, the government and the scientific community support the promotion of geneticallymodified crops, but touch off a continuous trust crisis. In view of people's concern about thesafety of related agricultural produces, the Chinese government has drafted a new grainlaw,intending to impose a stricter management on GMF. The law requires that no entity andindividual should apply genetically modified technology to the principal grain cultivars.
1.第二句比較長(zhǎng),可拆譯成兩句,前一句說(shuō)明轉(zhuǎn)基因食品的優(yōu)勢(shì),后一句說(shuō)它的缺陷。句中含有“但”,表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,可以使用But來(lái)連接兩個(gè)句子!爱a(chǎn)量高、營(yíng)養(yǎng)豐富、抗病力強(qiáng)”可采用“形容詞+名詞”結(jié)構(gòu),譯成high productivity, richnutrition and strong disease resistance。
2.“卻持續(xù)引發(fā)信任危機(jī)”這句話中,“引發(fā)”在英文里不是持續(xù)性動(dòng)詞,不能用continuously來(lái)修飾,因此本句可理解為“卻引發(fā)了持續(xù)的信任危機(jī)”,譯成but touch off a continuous trust crisis。
3.倒數(shù)第二句“鑒于人們…更嚴(yán)格的管理”可將“中國(guó)政府草擬了新的糧食法”作為句子主干,把“試圖對(duì)轉(zhuǎn)基因食品進(jìn)行更嚴(yán)格的管理”處理成現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作狀語(yǔ),對(duì)主語(yǔ)作進(jìn)一步的補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明。
4.最后一句可使用賓語(yǔ)從句的結(jié)構(gòu),譯為The law requires that...!叭魏螁挝缓蛡(gè)人不得…”翻譯時(shí)可將“不”字放在前面,修飾“任何單位和個(gè)人”,譯為no entity and individual should apply...,該譯法帶有強(qiáng)調(diào)意味;也可處理成普通譯法 any entity and individual should not apply...。

2.第二句由三個(gè)分句構(gòu)成,可將“它不以盈利為目的',屬于非商業(yè)性廣吿”處理成主句,即it is a noncommercial anddoes not aim at making profit。“是社會(huì)公益事業(yè)的重要組成部分”可采用“as+名詞短語(yǔ)” 結(jié)構(gòu),譯作as asignificant part of the cause of the public good,置于句首。這樣翻譯比譯為并列句或定語(yǔ)從句更加簡(jiǎn)潔明了。
3.“目的是提高公眾的道德意識(shí),改變公眾對(duì)社會(huì)問(wèn)題的態(tài)度”一句較簡(jiǎn)單,可直譯為Its objectiveare...。“提高”和“改變”可表達(dá)為raising...and changing...也可用不定式來(lái)表達(dá)to raise...and change...。
