Question 1: 以上短文属于哪种文体？有哪些特点？
以上短文屬於宣傳類的應用文體。應用文體篇幅較短、通俗簡明，且切合實際
需要，並達到實用效果。宣傳類應用文特點主要體現在表達方式及語句；其用
詞組句以廣告、推銷手法傳遞，目的是為了最大化介紹產品及產品優勢，從而
吸引讀者關注和認同。

Question 2: 举例说明在翻译中你用了哪些翻译方法技巧？
在翻譯過程中，我使用了數種翻譯技巧以確保譯文的精確性。
在原文的首段，作者描述了悠閒假期的景色。在這裏，我使用了直譯手法；按
照原文的排序，根據原來的形容詞和名詞翻譯出了譯文。「溫暖清澈的潟湖。
涼爽、翠绿的树葉。 瀑布，花卉，異國芬芳。 明亮的藍天，僻靜的海灘，優
美的椰树，使人嘆為觀止的日落。 柔和的晚風，和简朴而出色的佳肴。」翻译
成“Warm, crystal-clear lagoons. Cool, green foliage. Waterfalls.
Flowers. Exotic scents. Bright blue skies. Secluded beaches. Graceful
palms. Breathtaking sunsets. Soft evening breezes.” 詞句擺放和措辭原
封不動，保持原貌。

我在第二段開端使用了轉換法，互換了兩個名詞：”your lovely holiday”

和”Our free gift”。另外，我在第二段結尾也互換了形容詞”lower”和名
詞”skin cancer”；此舉是為了讓句子更通順並符合英語語法，使譯文內容更
能引起英文讀者共鳴。

第三、四段主要採用了套譯。因為原文含有大量形容詞組合，例如「無油脂且
觸感輕盈」。我借用目的语在英文里更惯用的语言，翻譯成 Greaseless and
remarkably light to touch，字眼並非完全一致，卻更精準地說明了清爽透薄
的觸感。

活到一百五，是梦还是真？
Truste
医生们认为大多数人活不过 100 岁，但 越来越多的科学家相信衰老过程是可以
d
控制的。在美国有一万两千多人寿命超 过一百岁，而且该数字正逐年增加。芝
加哥的詹姆斯博士声称，理论上在理想的状态下,动物包括人类都能活到其正常寿命的
六倍。

目前，虽然我们大多数人预计能活到 80 岁左右，但有些人却能超越预期活到 100 多岁。

在日本冲绳和意大利撒丁岛等地，有许多百岁老人。历史上最长寿的人是法国妇女珍
妮·卡尔芒，她活到了 122 岁。1875 年她出生时，全球的平均预期寿命仅约为 43 岁。
但人类到底能活多久呢?这是几个世纪以来人们一直在问的问题。虽然平均预期寿命
(一个人可以活的年数)相对容易计算，但估计最大寿命(一个人可能达到的最大年龄)要
困难得多。之前的研究将这一极限设定在 140 岁左右。但最近的一项研究表明，人类
寿命的极限接近 150 岁。
虽然将正常哺乳动物的健康寿命延长 15-20%是极其困难的，部分原因是我们对衰老生
物学的理解还不完全。 但目前人们已经可以将更为简单的生物 (如蚯蚓)的寿命延长
10 倍。
自 19 世纪 60 年代以来，人类的预期寿命就一直在不断增长。随着科技的发展，医疗
的进步和生活条件的改善，我们也可以自信地预期人类寿命将会增加。事实上，根据
医学家们预测每过半个小时平均寿命会增加六秒钟。不幸的是，按照这个速度，普通
人再活三个世纪也活不到 150 岁。

Living till a hundred and five, is it a dream or the reality?

Doctors believe that most people cannot live over a hundred years, but
more and more scientists believe that the aging process is controllable. In
the United States, there are 12,000 people aged over 100 years old, and the
number is increasing annually. Dr. James from Chicago stated that
theoretically, animals, including humans, can live up to six times their
normal lifespan under ideal conditions.

At present, although most of us are expected to live to around 80 years

old, some of us can exceed expectations and live more than 100 years.
There are many centenarians in places like Okinawa, Japan, Sardinia and
Italy. The oldest person in history is a French woman, Jeanne Carmen,
who lived till 122 years old. In 1875 when she was born, the global
average life expectancy was only about 43 years.

Yet, how long can human beings live? This is a question that people have
been wondering for centuries. Although the average life expectancy (the
number of years a person can live) is relatively easy to calculate, it is much
more difficult to estimate the maximum life expectancy (the maximum age
a person may reach). Previous studies set this limit at about 140 years old.
But a recent study showed that the limit of human life span is close to 150
years.

Although it is extremely hard to Truste extend the healthy lifespan of
normal mammals by 15-20%, part d of the reason is that our
understanding of aging biology is still incomplete. But nowadays,
people can prolong the lifespan of simpler creatures (such as earthworms)
by 10 times.

Since the 1860s, human life expectancy has been increasing. With the
development of science and technology, the advancement of medical
treatment and the improvement of living conditions, we can also
confidently expect that human life expectancy will raise. In fact, medical
scientists predict that the average life expectancy will grow by six seconds
every half an hour. Unfortunately, at this rate, people will not be able to
live over 150 years even in three more centuries.

Question 1: 以上短文翻译中，你的翻译策略是什么？
以上短文為說明文。在翻譯中，我主要運用了異化翻譯策略以保留中文文化特
色並忠實於原文。逐字翻譯和直譯手法等被大量採用，例如「医生们认为大多
数人活不过 100 岁，但越来越多的科学家相信衰老过程是可以控制的。」一字
不漏翻譯成 ”Doctors believe that most people cannot live over a
hundred years, but more and more scientists believe that the aging
process is controllable.”

Question 2: 有哪些语言方面和文化方面的翻译思考？
翻譯過程中，由於中英文表達方式上的不同，中文字句略帶誇張和口語的說明，
稍難以英文傳遞。比如在文章尾端，「不幸的是，按照这个速度，普通人再活
三个世纪也活不到 150 岁。」這一句組合略為複雜，意思也更隱喻，表示如果
按這個速度來說是活不過 150 歲的；在譯文，直譯手法被採取，譯為”
Unfortunately, at this rate, people will not be able to live over 150
years even in three more centuries.” 原汁原味傳遞原文的中心信息。
