坚持英语学习打卡 之 翻译篇（九）
今日翻译打卡第九日，完成Unit Five英译汉和汉译英的两篇文章，因为都是和奥运会相关，所以一起总结。
1.Like the contemporary, Pierre de Coubertin, who a few years earlier re-established the modern Olympic Games, Zhang Boling was above all an educator ---- he was one of the founders of Tianjin Nankai Middle School ---- but also a sports expert.
技巧点拨：注意理清这句话的逻辑顺序，适当调整语序。本句是将张伯苓与顾拜旦相比较，为了更好地传达其意思，对于“Like the contemporary”的翻译要灵活处理。
优质译法：张伯苓与顾拜旦是同时代人。顾拜旦重新创立了现代奥林匹克运动，仅仅几年之后，张伯苓与别人一起创办了天津南开中学。张伯苓首先是一位教育家，同时也是一位体育家。
2.He had the foresight of advocating China’s entry into the Olympic Movement.
优质译法：他卓有远见地倡导中国参与奥林匹克运动。
3.奥林匹克主义是将身体、意志和精神方面的各种品质均衡地结合起来，并使之得到提高的一种人生哲学。
一般译法：The Olympic idea is the combination of body, mind and spirits in a balanced way and tries to improve these aspects, which is a philosophy of life.
优质译法：Olympism is a philosophy of life, exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of body, will and mind.
技巧点拨：翻译时注意调整语序，“结合”与“提高”两个动作可以并列，使用现在分词作状语，in a balanced whole作插入语。
4.旧中国灾难深重，民不聊生，被西方国家讥讽为“东亚病夫”。
一般译法：The old China had gone through countless disasters and the people suffered a lot. The country was then called “a sick nation in the east” ironically by the west.
优质译法：The old China was tangled with domestic problems and foreign invasion, and the Chinese people were leading a miserable life and were looked down upon by the Western powers as “sick men of East Asia”.
技巧点拨：翻译“灾难深重”时使用了具体化的方式，注意用词准确性。
5.坚持科学发展观，构建和谐社会的人文环境，为发展中国体育事业提供了更加优越条件。
优质译法：Today, Chinese government’s efforts to fully implement the Scientific Outlook on Development and to build a harmonious society have secured a more favorable environment for sports development in China.
技巧点拨：注意政治性术语的积累。
6. 重点词组表达

a man of passion and conviction 一个充满激情和信念的人
a state of mind 思想境界
