今日长难句:
Actually, it isn’t, because it assumes that there is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does not have.
参考译文:
事实并非如此,因为这种问法是以人们对人的权利有共同认识为基础的,而这种共同认识并不存在。
翻译技巧:
这是一个主从复合句,主语是it isn't,省略了表语,完整的说法是 it isn't a useful, ground-clearing way to start, because it assumes that there is an agreed account of human rights 是一个表示原因的状语从句,其表语 an agreed account of human rights 跟了一个定语从句 which is something the world doesn't have。
注意状语从句中的主语it指代上文的 the question,it assumes 意思是“这种问题(问法)是假定的”。
短语背诵:
account 一词的正确理解是翻译的关键。
an agreed account of human rights 意思是“an agreed understanding of human rights”。
agreed 意为“一致的”。
This is the agreed price at which the stock will be traded.
(这是股票交易的约定价格。)
They met at the agreed time.
(他们按约定时间见面。)
下期预告:
