2016年6月英語六級翻譯真題
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2. 旗袍(qipao)是一種雅緻的中國服裝，源於中國的滿族(Manchu Nationality)。在清代，旗袍是王室女性穿着的寬鬆長袍。上世紀 20 年代，受西方服飾影響，旗袍發生了一些變化。袖口(cuffs)變窄，袍身變短。這些變化使女性美得以充分展現。
如今，旗袍經常出現在世界級的時裝秀上。中國女性出席重要社交聚會時，旗袍往往是她們的首選。很多中國新也會選擇旗袍作爲結婚禮服。一些有影響的.人士甚至建議將旗袍作爲中國女性的民族服飾。
表達難點
1. 第一句有兩個謂語動詞“是一種……”及“源於……”，可將前者處理爲英文句子的謂語成分，後者作“服裝”的後置定語，形式既可用非謂語動詞(originating from)也可用定語從句(that originates from...)。
2. 第二句可以處理成一個定語從句，主幹是“旗袍是長袍”，“王室女性穿着的”是修飾長袍的定語。用非謂語動詞作定語，“旗袍”和“穿”是被動關係，因此用過去分詞形式。
3. 第三句的“發生變化”可以用 undergo changes 這個搭配。“受西方服飾的影響”可以用分詞作狀語的結構 influenced by...，也可以處理成 due to the influence of...。
4. 第二段都是體現旗袍重要性的一些短句子，如逐一翻譯，譯文會顯得比較鬆散，可以使用一些結構或詞語將它們銜接起來，比如 not only... but also..., moreover, even 等。
