关于Expert 对这句话的翻译:
People's income in 1979 is one-fourteenth as much as theirs in 1997.
People's income in 1997 is fourteen times as much as theirs in 1979.
People's income in 1997 is fourteen times more than theirs in 1979.
......
我提一点个人的看法:
1. income 一词指“收入”,实际指钱的多少,钱的数量。习惯上很少用much或more修饰,一般用large, small, high, low等形容词修饰。例如:
His large income enabled him to live in comfort.
他那丰厚的收入使他可以过舒服的生活。
It's difficult raising a family on a small income.
依靠微薄的收入是很难养家的。
I pity anyone who has to feed a family on such a low income.
我同情任何需要以如此微薄的收入养活全家的人。
The tax policy favors those with a high income.
税收政策有利于那些高收入的人。
2. People's income in 1997 跟 theirs in 1979 比较,这种表述欠妥。theirs可以表示their income,但是这个their不能再次指前面的people,而是指另外的人。那么,这里的thiers 就属于指代不明。这时,我们要用that替代前述内容。
据此,翻译如下:
People's income in 1997 was fourteen times as large as that in 1979.
3. 因为income 本身就表示“量”的概念,类似size, length, speed, price,population 等词的用法,所以,可以不用times as large as ...结构,而直接用...times + the income of 1979,或者...times that of 1979 来翻译。
据此,翻译如下:
People's income of 1997 was fourteen times that of 1979.
【再举数例】
His weight is three times that of mine.
他的体重是我的体重的三倍。
Our grain output will be 3 times that of 1960.
我们的粮食产量将是1960年的3倍。
Venus has a thick atmosphere. The pressure is 90 times that of the Earth.
金星拥有一层浓密的大气,气压为地球的90倍。
The length of the newly broadened road is four times that of the previous one. 新扩建的道路为以前的四倍长。
The size (The height) of the new building is four times that of the old one. 这座新楼的大小(高度)是那座旧楼的四倍。
