Why is free trade said to be universally beneficial? The answer is a doctrine called “comparative advantage“. H

If a surgeon is highly skilled both at doing operations and performing routine blood tests, its more efficient for the surgeon to concentrate on the surgery and pay a less efficient technician to do the tests, since that allows the surgeon to make the most efficient use of her

By extension, even if the United States is efficient both at inventing advanced biotechnologies and at the routine manufacture of medicines, it makes sense for the United States to let the production work migrate to countries that can make the stuff more cheaply. Americans get the benefit

What if the lower-wage country also captures the advanced industry? If enough higher-paying jobs are lost by American workers to outsourci

It is particularly a problem, he says, in a world where large countries with far lower wages, like India and China,

37、 peasant fishermen on this tributary of the Amazon River dream about在亚马逊河的这一支流上捕鱼的农民就希望遇上那天的情况。 分析 用词选词采分点。 days 不是指“天气”，而是指各方面的综合情况，如果把 one of those days 译成“那天那样的日子”就太别扭了，“那天的情况”最符合汉语习惯。dream about 梦见某事物，这里是农民梦想的东西，所以最好译成“希望遇上”。 2With water levels falling rapidly at the peak of the dry season，a gia

39、间状语从句。a tasty fish that fetches a good price at markets 是前面 bass的同位语，翻译时，可放在整个长句后面，单独翻译。另外，这个同位语从句可分译成两个汉语的分句：鲈鱼味道鲜美(a tasty fish)，能在市场上卖个好价钱(that fetches a good price at markets)。要把water levels falling(水面下降)译为“河面下降”，因为上下文讲的是亚马逊河，所以，译成“河面下降”更好。at the peak of the dry season 最符合汉语习惯表达方式是“旱季最缺水的时候”而不是“
40、旱季的高峰”。school(鱼、鲸等的)群：a school of mackerel 一群鲭鱼。 3move into position 摆好了架式准备干活 分析 理解结构采分点。 move into position 如译成“进入阵地”，不符合语境，原文中渔业协会的负责 人边说话边“就位”(exulted as he moved into position)，也就是“准备干活”，直译不符合汉语的表达法。 4“That is a fortune for people like us,“ he said, the equivalent of four months at the minimum
41、wage earned by those fortunate enough to find work他说：“对我们这样的人来说，这可是一大笔钱呀。”因为就算一个人运气好，能找到工作，按最低工资计算，要四个月才能挣这么些钱。 分析 理解结构采分点。 把原文中的短语 the equivalent of four months at the minimum wage earned by those fortunate enough to find work 译成一个表原因的从句。采用断句法，把小的原文短语译成汉语的几个动宾结构(就算一个人运气好，能找到工作，按最低工资计算，要四个月才能挣这么些钱)。
42、采用增词法对原文进行补充说明，使汉语语句能够通川页易懂，如，译文中的“就算；一个人；计算”都是增词。 5But hovering nearby was a large commercial fishing vessel，a “mother boat“ equipped with large ice chests for storage and hauling more than a dozen smaller craft然而就在不远的地方，有一只大型商业渔船在游弋，那是一只“母船”，备有巨大的储藏冰柜，还拖着十几只小船。 分析 理解结构采分点。 原文是一个简单句，由 equipped 和 ha

44、率的刺网进行捕捞，能捞多少，就捞多少。 分析 理解结构采分点。 原句是一个定语从句，但从句子的意思判断，首先应该译成状语从句，即“以后”，其次，要把原文的主句译成汉语的从句，原文中 where 部分的从句在译文中译成主句。习惯搭配 the remainder 意为“剩余部分；剩下的人、事物或时间”：Then a dozen people came but the remainder stayed away来了十来个人，其余的没来。 7As stocks of the most popular species diminish to worrisome levels，tensions are g

46、 原文是一个包含一个时间状语从句和一个非限制性定语从句的复合句。在译文中，时间状语从句没变，但要把其中 to 引导的表示程度的介词短语(to worrisome levels)译为一个单独的短句。而 who 引导的非限定性定语从句译成一个表原因的状语从句，这是根据汉语的习惯作出的调整，这种情况在翻译中尤其常见，需要译者多加留心和注意运用。 8In response, peasants up and down the Amazon, here in Brazil and in neighboring countries like Peru, are forming cooperatives to
