《甄嬛传》是影视剧,所以或许谁也没料到在之后的世界里会真的上演类似桥段。

现年67岁的泰国国王是“拉玛十世”的哇集拉隆功,在与第四任王后结婚2个月之后又迎娶了一位名叫诗妮娜的女子,并将其升为“贵妃”。可是好景不长,册封才不到3个月,泰国王室就以“对国王不忠”和“违反王后命令”为由剥夺了王妃诗妮娜的所有皇室和军事头衔。

但就在诗妮娜渐渐从大众视线中消失之后,仅仅一年的时间,王室又公布了一条令人震惊的消息:国王赦免了王妃诗妮娜,还将之前的一切封号与头衔全部归还于她,并同时释放了当时和贵妃一同被问罪的军方人士,一切恢复如初。

【第一部分:概述事件】

king maha vajiralongkorn of thailand is welcoming his

consort back into the royal household, a surprise move that comes as the country is in the throes of an unprecedented protest movement calling for reforms to both government and the monarchy.在泰国爆发了一场史无前例的抗议活动(旨在对政府及君主制进行改革)之际,泰国国王玛哈·哇集拉隆功却出人意料地迎接其贵妃回归王室。

the thai royal household said in an official notice that all titles, military ranks and decorations were returned to sineenat wongvajirapakdi after she was found "

untainted," implying that she was innocent of previous accusations.泰国王室在一份官方通告中表示,在证明诗妮娜·披拉萨甘娅妮“无罪”后,其所有头衔、军衔和勋章均已恢复,这意味着此前对她的所有指控都不属实。

① 句子结构分析

king maha vajiralongkorn of thailand(主语)is welcoming(谓语) his consort(宾语)back into the royal household(状语), a surprise move(同位语)that comes(定语从句)as the country is in the throes of an unprecedented protest movement(时间状语从句) calling for reforms to both government and the monarchy(定语,修饰 protest movement).

the thai royal household(主语)said(谓语)in an official notice(状语) that all titles, military ranks and decorations(从句主语) were returned(谓语) to sineenat wongvajirapakdi(to的宾语) after she was found "untainted,"(时间状语从句)implying that she was innocent of previous accusations(状语).

② 写作表达

a.

in the throes of可以在写作或翻译中代替in trouble,表示处于……困境中、在……的挣扎中。例如:the country was in the throes of revolutionary change.国家正处于革命动荡中。 


b.
unprecedented在作文里也是加分词,表示“前所未有的”、“史无前例的”,可以替代it has never happened before这一句话。例如:the mission has been hailed as an unprecedented success. 这次使命已被宣布为一次空前的成功。 

c.
innocent 在原文表示清白的、无辜的。例如:he was sure that the man was innocent of any crime.他确信此人是清白无罪的。 

翻硕真题的阅读里也出现过“
无恶意的”义项(熟词僻义)。我们这里来了解一下:innocent表示“无恶意的”时候,英文释义为:an innocent question, remark, or comment is not intended to offend or upset people, even if it does so.例:it was probably an innocent question, but michael got flustered anyway.那也许是个没有恶意的问题,但迈克尔还是变得紧张不安。

③ 翻译技巧

 

中文习惯先出状语,再出主句,而英文则相反,喜欢先出主句,再出状语。翻译时我们要注意中英文之间的差别。比如原文as引导的时间状语从句建议放到句首翻译,再翻译主句king maha vajiralongkorn of thailand is welcoming his consort back into the royal household④ 生词解析
