Question

有个英语翻译不太明白

The Cutty Sark was one of the fastest sailing ships that has ever been built.
This race, which went on for exactly four months, was the last of its kind. It marked the end of the great tradition of ships with sails and the beginning of a new era.
这里的第一句的sailing和第二句的sail 分别如何翻译有啥区别

Answer 1

第一个sailing的形容词，航海的，航行的，与ship连用可理解为帆船（因为航海船一般都是带帆的）
第二sail 是名词，帆，ships with sails=sailing ships

追问

with是翻译成用还是表示伴随

追答

ships with sails可直译为带有帆的船，其实就是帆船，在翻译时并不是所有的介词都要特地地表达出来，因为一个固定的词汇“帆船”已经将WITH的意思给表达出来了。
希望帮到你！
