 1995年 翻译延伸


5、For example, they do not compensate 1 for gross social inequality, and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.
【分析】
多重复合句。and连接两个并列的谓语部分do not compensate和do not tell,宾语为how引导的从句,而宾语从句中又套嵌省略if的虚拟条件句。条件从句中的had he grown up...,表示与过去事实相反的假设,且用了倒装。翻译时,主语they指上文提到的tests,应译为“测试”或“这些测试”;翻译how引导的宾语从句时,虚拟条件句可置于主语之后,谓语之前,译为“如 果…”。
【点拨】
1、gross“过于肥胖的;粗俗的,不雅的;显而易见的;总的,毛的”,本句中根据后面的搭配social inequality应译为“明显的”。2、able“能够…的;有才干的”。3、underprivileged“被剥夺基本权力的;贫困的,下层社会的”。
【译文】
例如,测试并不能弥补明显的社会不公;因此,它们不能说明一个物质条件差的年轻人如果在较好的环境下成长的话,会有多大才干。

1 compensate
vt.补偿,赔偿;酬报 vi.弥补;补偿;抵消
  • She used her good looks to compensate her lack of intelligence. 她利用她漂亮的外表来弥补智力的不足。
  • Nothing can compensate for the loss of one's health. 一个人失去了键康是不可弥补的。
