2016年12月大學英語四級翻譯練習：北京烤鴨

　　北京烤鴨是北京的招牌菜，它的獨到之處在于不僅味道鮮美，而且含有豐富的營養(yǎng)價值，被譽為“天下美味”，馳名中外。北京烤鴨需經(jīng)過約45分鐘的烤制，烤出的鴨子以皮質(zhì)酥脆(crispy skin)、肉質(zhì)鮮嫩為特色，這是其受歡迎的最大原因。在眾多的北京烤鴨店中最知名的兩個是全聚德和便宜坊，這兩家烤鴨店都已經(jīng)有上百年的歷史了。

　　1.北京的招牌菜:翻譯為a specialty of Beijingcuisine，“招牌菜”的英文表達是specialty。

　　2.它的獨到之處在于:可譯為It’s unique in, be uniquein sth.意為“在某方面特別，有獨到之處”。

　　3.馳名中外:可譯為 have won fame both at home andabroad, be known at home and abroad 或者berenowned both inside and outside the country。

　　4.皮質(zhì)酥脆、肉質(zhì)鮮嫩:漢語中本句定語后置，翻譯時，可以先改變其結構，本句可以理解為“酥脆的皮，鮮嫩的肉”，即可翻譯成crispy skin and tender meat。

　　5.全聚德和便宜坊:中華老字號的牌子直接翻譯成拼音即可，注意便宜坊為 Bianyifang,不要譯成 “Pianyifang”。
