单选题 Eating Beijing Roast Duck is regarded as one of the things you are absolutely supposed to do while in Beijing. The history of the roast duck can be traced back to as early as the Yuan Dynasty. The two famous restaurants that serve Beijing Roast Duck are Pianyifang Roast Duck Restaurant and Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, both of which have a history of over one hundred years. They represent two different schools of roasting duck.

【正确答案】吃北京烤鸭被认为是到北京必须做的一件事。北京烤鸭的历史可以追溯到元朝。北京最著名的两家烤鸭店是便宜坊烤鸭店和全聚德烤鸭店,它们都有上百年的历史了。它们分别代表了两种风格不同的烤鸭派系。
【答案解析】[解析] be supposed to do表示“应该,必须”;be traced back to 表示“追溯到”;represent表示“代表”; school在这里是指“学派,派系”。另外注意本段中包含的几个定语从句的翻译。第一句中包含一个that引导的定语从语one of the things you are absolutely supposed to do...,that在从句中做宾语,因此省略,翻译时应直接译到所修饰词前面,译为“到北京必须做一件事”;第三句中包含一个由that引导的定语从句The two famous restaurants that serve Beijing Duck…,that在从句中做主语,直接译为“北京两家著名的烤鸭店”,第三句中还包含一个由which引导的非限定性定语从句…,both of which have a history.、注意非限定定语从语常采用分译法,本句可译为“它们(这两家烤鸭店)都有上百年的历史了”。
