河南省介紹

[1]河南是中華民族和文明的重要發(fā)源地。中國(guó)四大發(fā)明中，指南針、造紙技術(shù)和火藥都發(fā)明于河南。河南擁有厚重的文化歷史、大量的歷史文物，文物數(shù)量居全國(guó)首位。[2]河南擁有大量的歷史文物和文化遺跡，8處國(guó)家級(jí)風(fēng)景名勝、358個(gè)國(guó)家重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位、4個(gè)世界級(jí)地質(zhì)公園、11個(gè)國(guó)家級(jí)自然保護(hù)區(qū)。

[3]河南是中國(guó)重要的經(jīng)濟(jì)大省，2017年國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值穩(wěn)居中國(guó)第5位。2017年河南生產(chǎn)總值44988億元，比上年增長(zhǎng)7.8%，人均生產(chǎn)總值47130元，增長(zhǎng)7.4%。[4]糧食種植面積達(dá)10135千公頃，糧食產(chǎn)量5973.4萬噸，比上年增加26.8萬噸。

[5]全部工業(yè)增加值18807億元，增長(zhǎng)7.4%，社會(huì)消費(fèi)品零售總額19666億元，增長(zhǎng)11.6%。全民居民消費(fèi)價(jià)格比上年上漲1.4%。

[6]河南是“一帶一路”的重要中心。河南已經(jīng)與200多個(gè)國(guó)家和地區(qū)建立貿(mào)易聯(lián)系。[7]河南要以其更有吸引力的政策，更友好的營(yíng)商環(huán)境，廣迎四海賓客，實(shí)現(xiàn)更高層次的互利共贏。

【譯析】

就題目而言，“河南省介紹”一般譯成 An Introduction of Henan Province，但introduction 的意思為 the part that comes at the beginning and tells you what the rest of the book or talk is about，而該文是對(duì)河南省的一個(gè)較全面但簡(jiǎn)略的勾勒，故可用profile，其意為an analysis representing the extent to which something exhibits various characteristics，如：The newspaper publishes a profile of an emerging incorporation every week.（該報(bào)每周刊登一篇關(guān)于新公司的簡(jiǎn)介。）

[1]中，“中國(guó)四大發(fā)明中，指南針、造紙技術(shù)和火藥都發(fā)明于河南”是“中華民族和文明的重要發(fā)源地”的并列句，都是對(duì)河南特點(diǎn)的描述，故在譯文中可以調(diào)整詞序，使結(jié)構(gòu)更為緊湊，即將Henan作主語，將“where three of the four well-known Chinese inventions—the compass， paper-making technology and gunpower—originated”作定語從句，之后的部分可以用動(dòng)名詞接續(xù)。同時(shí)，鑒于原文本段末句與下段前句內(nèi)容有所重疊，可在譯文中進(jìn)行某些“合并”。

[2]中，由于部分內(nèi)容已在上面譯出，故可稍加簡(jiǎn)化，如可從It has 8 national-level scenic spots… 開始?！皣?guó)家重點(diǎn)文物保護(hù)單位”可譯為key state protection units for cultural relics。

[3]中，兩個(gè)“2017”可不必重復(fù)，如“穩(wěn)居中國(guó)第5位”可與“總值44988億元”“人均生產(chǎn)總值47130元”結(jié)合譯為ranked fifth in China with a GDP of 4.4988 trillion yuan and 47，130 yuan per capita。最后的“增長(zhǎng)7.4%”亦指比上年而言，故可與前面的“7.8%”一并譯出。

[4]中，要特別注意計(jì)量單位的轉(zhuǎn)換，如：“10135千公頃”即10.135 million hectares;“5973.4萬噸”為59.734 million tons;“26.8萬噸”為268，000 tons。

[5]中，“18807億”“19666億”分別為1.8807萬億（trillion）和1.9666萬億。

[6]中，“一帶一路”應(yīng)遵照官方譯法，即the Belt and Road（縮寫B(tài)&R，全稱the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road）?！啊粠б宦贰h”為the Belt and Road Initiative。同時(shí)，要在譯文中使兩個(gè)“河南”建立聯(lián)系，但又不重復(fù)，故可采用句式“As an important center of …， Henan has…”。

[7]中，“要以其更有吸引力的政策”“更友好的營(yíng)商環(huán)境”是狀語，可用With…處理?！皬V迎四海賓客”則可為動(dòng)賓結(jié)構(gòu)welcomes guests from all over the world?！盎ダ糙A”為mutually beneficial win-win results。
