北京大学 刘永:帮助英译汉,特别是Consider the time 的意思

来源:百度文库 编辑:神马品牌网 时间:2024/05/03 04:55:49
Consider the time Charlene Jendry, a conservationist at the Columbus Zoo, learned that a female gorilla named Colo was handling a suspicious object.

去掉"a conservationist at the Columbus Zoo", 句子缩减为:
Consider the time Charlene Jendry learned that a female gorilla named Colo was handling a suspicious object. 这是一个省略了"Please"的祈使句. 完整的句子是:
Please consider the time Charlene Jendry learned that a female gorilla named Colo was handling a suspicious object.
根据原文的上下文:

The stories they tell us reveal what I'm convinced is a new window on animal intelligence: the kind of mental feats animals perform when dealing with captivity and the dominant species on the planet — humans.

Let's Make a Deal
Consider the time Charlene Jendry, a conservationist at the Columbus Zoo, learned that a female gorilla named Colo was handling a suspicious object.

consider the time: 在这里可以翻译为: 例如有一次, 比如说那一次.

全句翻译:比如说有一次在哥伦比亚动物园中, 保护管理论者Charlene Jendry得知一个叫Colo的雌猩猩在把玩(或摆弄)一件可疑物品。

考虑到那时,哥伦布动物园的管理者Charlene Jendry获悉一只名叫Colo的雌猩猩正拿着一个可疑物体。

你确定句子没问题?
