……此处隐藏97183个字…… with his or her own distinctive traits。
3.第1段最后一句中的“历程”一词是意义含糊的范畴词。实际上“兴衰”一词就包含“过程、历程”之义,翻译时为避免重复累赘,宜将“历程”一词省略,直接译出the rise and fall of sth. 即可。“封建社会隐藏的种种危机”可译为various hidden crises in the feudal society或various dangers hidden in the feudal society。
4.第2段第1句隐含因果关系,即“(因为)融合了……,(所以)具有很强的艺术感染力”。翻译时可如参考译文那样,保留原文主语,用boost一词表达“具有……(特色、优点)”之义,再以短语due to点明句中隐含的因果关系,把果放前面,把因放后面。另外,也可转换主语,用combination of realism and romanticism作主语,译为The combination of realism and romanticism in Dream of Red Chamber endows the novel with strong artistic appeal。
