左廷菲女士是北京的一位大学英语专业的教师。最近,她发来一则email,内容是她的若干英译汉的译稿,以及就译文所作的简略说明。她认为英语原句属于“难句”范畴,希望我们能够对这些难句作点分析,并对她“毫无把握”的译文和说明提出我们的意见。我们把来稿转发给了从事多年英语教学的潭彪教授,请他发表意见。谭彪教授利用寒假空暇作了答复。文章以“左”和“谭”分别代表左女士和谭教授。】 Ms. Zuo Tingfei is a college English teacher in Beijing. Recently, she sent an email containing translations of her translations from several English to Chinese translations and a brief explanation of the translation. She believes that the English original sentence belongs to the category of “difficult sentences” and hopes that we can analyze these difficult sentences and put forward our opinions on her “unsure” translations and explanations. We forwarded the manuscript to Prof. Tan Xu, who has been teaching English for many years, and asked him to express his opinions. Professor Tan Yu made use of the winter vacation to answer. The article uses “Left” and “Tan” to represent Ms. Zuo and Professor Tan respectively. 】
