庖丁解牛 || 北外学姐翻译课05

北外学姐翻译课

庖丁解牛，解构“牛”之关节，并回译之，日积月累，运斤成风，达到目无全牛的境界。

在文艺创作方面，也存在着有数量缺质量、有“高原”缺“高峰”的现象，存在着抄袭模仿、千篇一律的问题，存在着机械式生产、快餐式消费的问题。

我的译文：

In literary and artistic creation, there is a tendency for quantity to outweigh quality, for mediocrity to overwhelm fine works as a result of simply copying others' stereotyped patterns and following the fashion of mechanized production and fast-food consumption.

拓展：

outweigh:比…重要；比…有价值

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one.
集体利益高于个人利益。

Personally, I believe that the merits of private schools outweigh their demerits.
就我个人而言, 我认为私立学校的优点大于缺点。

overwhelm：压倒；淹没；受打击  overwhelming：压倒性的

an overwhelming victory：势如破竹的胜利

A great wave overwhelmed with the boat. 一个巨浪吞没了那只小船。

劣质参考译文：

The status-quo of "quantity over quality" in art has created "a plateau without summits" and led to a cookie-cutter approach in production and consumption, problems such as plagiarism and unoriginality still remain.
