【正确答案】正确答案: In the past three decades, the rapidly developing Chinese economy remarkably improved residents' living standard, making their consumption expenditure structure increasingly reasonable. The focus of urban residents' consumption has transformed from basic consumer goods to housing, traffic, education, etc. Statistics show that the consumption of urban residents in the aspects like education, culture, entertainment, service, medical treatment and health care accounts for 34% of their total expenditure, which indicates that urban residents are paying increasing attention to their demands for spiritual life and health. In order to make their consumption structure more reasonable, the government needs to raise residents' income level; meanwhile, mass media should guide residents to consume rationally.
【答案解析】解析:1.第一句由三个分句构成,理清分句间的逻辑关系是翻译的关键。仔细分析可发现,第一个分句是第二个分句的因,而最后一个分句可看作前两个分句的结果。因此可将“中国经济快速发展”转化为名词短语,处理成主语,与第二个分句合并处理成句内有因果关系的单句the rapid developing Chinese economy remarkably improved residents’ living standard。最后一个分句作结果状语,译为making their consumption expenditure increasingly reasonable。 2.第二句“城镇居民的消费重点已从……转向了……”可采用transform from...to...的句型。“住房、交通和教育这些领域”中的“这些领域”可以省译,直接译为housing,traffic,education,etc.即可达意。 3.第三句“统计显示……注重精神生活和健康方面的需求”中,“统计显示”statistics show后接that引导的宾语从句。从句的主干为“……投入占总开支的34%”,最后一个分句可用which引导的非限制性定语从句来表达,说明前述数据反映出来的变化。 4.最后一句有“同时”一词,可知它跟倒数第二句有并列关系,故可合译成一个长句。“为了……”表目的,用in order to…来表达。
