12、式，在在重重大大节日日和和隆重活隆重活动中中经常可以看到常可以看到。第一句话的词汇舞狮已经给出，而且“传统舞蹈形式”的翻译a form of traditional dance也是很简单的，所以这一句话的前半句话就很容易被翻译出来。我认为后半句的翻译用which引导的非限制性定语从句来表达，这样可以使句子结构更紧凑顺畅。接下来“经常看到”可以译为we can often see，但用被动形式can be often seen更符合英语常用被动语态的表达习惯。最后句子翻最后句子翻译为:Lion dance is a form of traditional dance in China,which

18、vities.”个人分析：很明显这句翻译存在很多错误，首先是词的拼写错误，该同学将“传统”译成了“troditional”，而正确的拼写应该是“traditional”。其次，该学生的译文中对“一种传统舞蹈形式”的翻译不准确，传统修饰的词应该是舞蹈，而该学生翻译出来的侧重点则在“形式”一词，应该翻译为“a form of traditional dance”。另外在该生的译文中没有将“中国”和“隆重 ”等词翻译出来。隆重可以翻译成great或者grand，隆重活动就可以翻译为grand/great events/activities。最后舞狮的英文翻译不必将dance一词大写。改正后的改正后的

20、story of over 1000 years.”个个人分析人分析：这句话中存在明显的拼写错误，首先例如对“三国时期”一词的翻译，该学生将Kingdoms错误地拼写为Kindoms，而且period应该大写，正如我们之前介绍的“三国时期”应该翻译为 the Three Kingdoms Period。另外，这句话 中出现了标点的错误使用问题，and一词前应 该用逗号“,”。第三，对词组originate in和 originate from的意思混淆，originate in意为 归因于、产生于；originate from意为来 自、源于，所以句子中应该使用 originated from
21、最后句子的时态不对，应 该将have改为had。改正后的译文:The lion dance originated from the Three The lion dance originated from the Three Kingdoms Kingdoms Period,and had a history of Period,and had a history of over over 1000 years1000 years.(3)“In general,the lion dance is performed by two persons,which one dances the he
22、ad,the other dances the body and tail.”个人分析：首先该同学的翻译上，大体看来并没有过多的语法问题，个人觉得tail一词前应该加一个定冠词the。另外我觉得该同学两次将“舞”字翻译为 dance一词，欠缺思考性，外国人的用语讲究，我 们可以用play和handle替代dance更好。改正后的改正后的译文文:I In n g ge en ne er ra al l,t th he e l li io on n d da an nc ce e i is s p pe er rf fo or rmme ed d b by y t tw wo o p pe er
