长难句的翻译技巧

Answer 1

Now utopia has grown unfashionable,as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the range of threats facing us,from asteroid strike to epidemic flu and to climate change.

词汇：1.grow 渐渐变得

2. unfashionable 过时的

3. deeper 更深的

4.appreciation 认识

5. range 系列

6.  threat 威胁

7.asteroid 小行星

8.strike 撞击

9.epidemic 传染性的

10.climate 气候

主干：Now utopia has grown unfashionable

伴随状语从句：as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the range of threats

现在分词短语作后置定语： facing us

介词短语作后置定语：from asteroid strike to epidemic flu and to climate change.

句子解说：句中的 as 从句，理解成原因状语从句，即“因为，我们......”，或伴随状语从句，即“随着我们......”，都是可以的。

参考译文：现在，随着我们更加深刻地认识到自己所面临（ facing us）的系列威胁，从小行星撞击地球，到流感，再到气候变化，这种乌托邦思想已经（has）渐渐变得（grown）过时了。
