3 6比较与倍数的翻译 在美国 作一个黑人就等于在无望中报存一线希望 马丁 路德 金在他生命的最后一年写道 在美国 黑人的社会地位由奴隶上升为自豪和平等的公民 这个发展历程是缓慢的 黑人的希望常常以绝望而告终 他所拥有的生活中的幸福只有大约白人的一半 而他所经受的痛苦却是白人的两倍 马丁 路德 金博士写道 黑人中的一半都住在破旧的房子里 他们的工资大约是白人的一半 他们拥有两倍于白人的失业人数 他们因缺少适当的照顾而死亡的婴儿是白人的两倍 考虑一下这个数字 两倍于白人的黑人男子在越南战争中作战 两倍于白人的黑人在那场战争中死亡 大多数黑人仍然做着那些低级 收入很低的工作 这是他们唯一能够找到的工作 TobeanegroinAmericaistohopeinhopeless wroteMartinLutherKinginthelastyearofhislife TheadvanceoftheblackmanintheUnitedStates fromthepositionofslavetothatofproudandequalcitizen isslowandgradual Theblackman shopeshavealwaysendedindespair Hehashalfthegoodthingsthewhitemenenjoyandtwicethesufferings continuedDr King Halfofallblackpeopleliveinpoorhouses Theyarepaidabouthalfasmuchasthewhites Theyhavetwiceasmanyoftheirpeopleoutofworkandtwiceasmanybabiesdeadforlackofpropercare Consideringthenumbers twiceasmany blackmenfoughtinthewarinVietnam andtwiceasmanydiedinthatwar Mostblackpeoplestilldounpleasantjobsandarepoorlypaid whicharetheonlyworktheycouldget InAmerica beinganegromeanscherishingafloatingstrawofhopeintheriverofhopelessness MartinLutherKingwroteinhislastyear Itisquiteaslow pacedprocessfortheblackstoadvancetheirsocialstatusfromslaverytoequalandproudcitizenship Thehopeofthenegroesoftenendedindespair Anegropossessesonlyhalfofthehappinessawhitemanenjoysinhislifewhilewhathesuffersdoubles Dr Kingcontinued Halfoftheblackliveindilapidatedapartments Andtheirsalariesarehalfasmuchasthoseofthe whites butblackpeopleoutofworkaretwiceasmany Moreover blackinfantswhodiefromlackofpropercaredoublethewhiteones Consideranotherfact theblackpeople twiceasmanyasthewhites joinedtheVietnamWarandtheirdeathtolldoubledthatofthewhites Mostblackpeoplearestilldoingverydemeaningandlow paidjobs InAmerica beingablackmeanshangingontoahopeinhopelessness MartinLutherKingwroteinthelastyearofhislife ItisaslowprocessfortheblackintheUStoupgradetheirsocialstatusfromslaverytoproudandequalcitizenship Buttheirhopesalwaysendupindespair Thehappinessheenjoysisonlyhalfofthatenjoyedbythewhites yethehastosuffertwice Dr Kingdescribed Halfoftheblackpopulationliveinshatteredhouses Theyearnhalfofwhatthewhitemenearn Theunemploymentrateoftheblacksistwicethatofthewhites soisinfantmortalityrateduetolackofpropercare Thenumberofjoblessblacksistwicethatofthewhites soisthenumberofblackbabiesdeaddue tolackofcare Consideringthenumbers twiceasmanyblackmenfoughtinthewarinVietnam andtwiceasmanydiedinthatwar Mostblackpeoplestilldounpleasantjobsandarepoorlypaid whicharetheonlyworktheycouldget 英译汉 MiniaturizationofComputers Butweightisnottheonlyfactor Thesmallerthecomputerthefasteritcanwork Thesignalsgotoandfromataveryhighbutalmostconstantspeed Soifonecanscaledownalldimensionsto letussay onetenth theaveragelengthsofthecurrent pathswillbereducedtoonetenth 5So veryroughlyspeaking scalingdownofalllineardimensionsintheratioofonetotenalsogivesavaluablebonus thespeedofoperationisscaledup10times Othertechniquesallowevenfurtherspeedincreases 选自一篇描述计算机小型化优点的科技文章 练习 倍数的翻译 等翻译技巧 使计算机的体积能缩小多少就缩小多少 这样做有几个好处 因为重量有时特别重要 例如 一架现代飞机要携带的电子仪表相当多 如果能使这些仪表中的任何一件体积缩小些 因而重量减轻些 那么 飞机携带的有效载荷就可更重些 在设计空间卫星和一切需要来回搬动的计算机时均应从这方面去考虑 但是 重量并不是惟一要考虑的因素 计算机体积越小 其运行速度就越快 这是因为信号来回传输的速度尽管极快 但几乎是恒定的 因此 如果人们能够把所有的线性尺寸缩小到比如说原来的十分之一 那么 电流流过的路径的平均长度就要缩短到原来的十分之一 所以 大致上可以说 将所有的线性尺寸按1 10的比例缩小 还会给我们带来附带的巨大好处 即运行速度要按比例增大十倍 还有其他方法可使运行速度更进一步提高 农村人口是城里人口的3倍 Thepopulationofruralareasisthreetimesthatofcity Thepopulationofruralareasisthreetimeslargerthanthatofcity Thepopulationofruralareasisthreetimesaslargeasthatofthecity 1 AisNtimesbiggerthanB 2 AisNtimesasbigasB 3 AisNtimes thesize amount theheight nu
