研英翻译演练(4)

this is the world out of which grows the hope,for the first time in history,of a society where there will be freedom from want and freedom from fear.

参考答案:

要点：该句中的定语从句out of which grows the hope,for the first time in history,of a society where there will be freedom from want and freedom from fear为全部倒装。主语the hope of a society因其定语where there will be freedom from want and freedom from fear过长，所以置于动词grows之后。由于定语从句out of which grows the hope,for the first time in history,of a society与主句关系密切，所以采用融合法将this is the world out of which grows the hope,for the first time in history,of a society译成一个单句。where引导的定语从句太长，可用后置法译成一个单句。

译文：这是历史上首次出现的一个给人以希望的世界。在这个世界上有希望诞生一个没有贫困、没有恐惧的社会。
