句子分析

【Step 1】找谓语

·动词 is 时态：一般现在时

·动词 seem 时态：一般现在时

【Step 2】断句

解析：

本句是由yet连接的两个转折关系的并列句。

并列句1：

In most of the homeless gardens of New York City the actual cultivation of plants is unfeasible.

并列句2：

yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attempts to call forth the spirit of plant and animal life, if only symbolically, through a clumplike arrangement of materials, an introduction of colors, small pools of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals.

重点成分标注：

主语：在句首|谓语前

宾语：在动词|介词后

表语：在系动词后

主语：蓝色；谓语：红色；表语：绿色；宾语：紫色；宾补：深蓝

并列句1：

In most of the homeless gardens of New York City the actual cultivation of plants is unfeasible.

其中，

1.In most of the homeless gardens of New York City是介宾结构作地点状语【判断方法：1.位置：在句首|句尾|主谓之间】

2.of plants是介宾结构作后置定语修饰the actual cultivation【判断方法：1.位置：在名词|代词后】

并列句2：

yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attemptsto call forth the spirit of plant and animal life, if only symbolically, through a clumplike arrangement of materials, an introduction of colors, small pools of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals.

本句核心主干：the compositions seem to represent attempts.

其中，

1.to call forth the spirit of plant and animal life是非谓语短语作后置定语修饰attempts【判断方法：1.位置：在名词|代词后；2.译为“...的“修饰attempts通顺即可<呼吁动植物生命精神的尝试>】

2.if only symbolically是由only if 所连接的状语；

3.through a clumplike arrangement of materials, an introduction of colors, small pools of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals.是一个介宾结构，在本句中作方式状语表明无家花园的布置方式。

其中，

1.and分别连接四个名词短语：A：a clumplike arrangement of materials；B：an introduction of colors；C：small pools of water；D：a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals，其中as well as 连接的是介宾结构of petals or leaves 和 of stuffed animals，其作后置定语修饰a frequent presence

【Step 3】翻译

In most of the homeless gardens of New York City the actual cultivation of plants is unfeasible, yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attemptsto call forth the spirit of plant and animal life, if only symbolically, through a clumplike arrangement of materials, an introduction of colors, small pools of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals.

·翻译思路：

1.根据【中英差异：英文擅用长句；中文擅用短句】本句较长较复杂，翻译时要根据意群适当拆分句子，即用标点符号断开；

1.并列句1：

英：In most of the homeless gardens of New York City the actual cultivation of plants is unfeasible.

中：在纽约市的大多数无家可归的花园中，实际的植物栽培是不可行的。

并列句2：

英语：yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attempts to call forth the spirit of plant and animal life, if only symbolically, through a clumplike arrangement of materials, an introduction of colors, small pools of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals.

1）核心主干翻译：the compositions seem to represent attempts.这些花园构造体现了种种努力。

【compositions不能译为“作文”，这句话讲的应该是花园的构造布局；attempts是复数，因此译为“种种努力”】

2）添加其余成分：yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attemptsto call forth the spirit of plant and animal life, if only symbolically...但即便如此，这些花园构造也似乎往往体现了它们所做出的种种努力，即试图唤起动植物生命的精神，哪怕这只是象征性地...

【本处翻译的重点是非谓语短语to call forth the spirit of plant and animal life的处理，根据后置定语翻译方法：后置定语词数>8个词通常采取后置译法；≤8个词通常采取前置译法】，遂采取后置译法】

3）添加其余成分：yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attempts to call forth the spirit of plant and animal life, if only symbolically,through a clumplike arrangement of materials, an introduction of colors, small pools of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals.

但即便如此，这些花园构造也似乎往往体现了它们所做出的种种努力，即试图唤起动植物生命的精神，哪怕这只是象征性地——通过簇丛状的材料布置、各种颜色的引入、小水池、以及花瓣、叶子和填充动物的频繁出现。

3.整合译文：

初译：在纽约市的大多数无家可归的花园中，实际的植物栽培是不可行的。但即便如此，这些花园构造也似乎往往体现了它们所做出的种种努力，即试图唤起动植物生命的精神，哪怕这只是象征性地——通过簇丛状的材料布置、各种颜色的引入、小水池、以及花瓣、叶子和填充动物的频繁出现。

4.润色译文：

在纽约市的大多数由无家可归者创建的花园中，栽培真实植物是不可行的。但即便如此，这些花园构造也似乎往往体现了它们所做出的种种努力，即试图唤起动植物的生命力——哪怕这只是象征性地——它们将各类材料以簇丛状加以组合、融入丰富色彩元素、建造小型水池、并以大量花瓣或树叶以及毛绒玩具加以点缀。

改译解释：

1.“homeless gardens”指的是“由无家可归者创建的花园”；

2.“the actual cultivation of plants实际的植物栽培”即“种植真的植物”；

3.“the spirit of plant and animal life动植物生命的精神”即“动植物生命力”——其实就是想让假的东西看起来像真的一样；

4.方式状语“through...”的翻译有点难撒，在改译时，通过理解将其翻译成了句子，会更通顺一点。
