29.(Sentence Translation, 4.0分)
在古代，丝绸之路(the Silk Road)有效地促进了各国之间经济文化的交流，从而大大推动了世界文明的进程。
题目解答
答案
本句主干为“丝绸之路促进交流，从而推动文明进程”。时间状语“In ancient times”置于句首，主句“the Silk Road effectively promoted economic and cultural exchanges between countries”表“促进交流”，“thus”连接结果“greatly advancing the progress of world civilization”。完整翻译为：
In ancient times, the Silk Road effectively promoted economic and cultural exchanges between countries, thus greatly advancing the progress of world civilization.
（或：In ancient times, the Silk Road effectively promoted economic and cultural interactions among countries, thus greatly pushing forward the development of world civilization.）
（其他合理表达亦可。）
解析
本题考查汉译英能力，解题思路如下：
- 首先确定句子的主干结构。本句的核心意思是“丝绸之路促进交流，推动文明进程”，所以先构建出这个基本的句子框架。
- 接着处理时间状语。“在古代”对应的英文表达是 “In ancient times”，按照英语表达习惯，时间状语通常放在句首，用逗号与主句隔开。
- 然后翻译“丝绸之路有效地促进了各国之间经济文化的交流”这部分内容。“丝绸之路”是 “the Silk Road”；“有效地”是 “effectively”；“促进”是 “promote”；“经济文化的交流”可以表达为 “economic and cultural exchanges” 或者 “economic and cultural interactions”；“各国之间”用 “between countries” 或者 “among countries” 都可以。所以这部分完整的英文是 “the Silk Road effectively promoted economic and cultural exchanges between countries” 或者 “the Silk Road effectively promoted economic and cultural interactions among countries”。
- 最后处理“从而大大推动了世界文明的进程”。“从而”用 “thus” 来连接，“大大推动”可以用 “greatly advance” 或者 “greatly push forward”；“世界文明的进程”可以表达为 “the progress of world civilization” 或者 “the development of world civilization”。这里使用现在分词短语作结果状语，即 “thus greatly advancing the progress of world civilization” 或者 “thus greatly pushing forward the development of world civilization”。
