在2022年6月份的考试中，三套翻译题分别为关于赵州桥、卢沟桥与南京长江大桥，都属于建筑类篇章，词汇略有难度，但整体句式结构比较常规。今天就来讲下怎么翻译南京长江大桥。

原文：

“南京长江大桥是长江上首座由中国设计、采用国产材料建造的铁路、公路两用桥，上层的4车道公路桥长4589米，下层的双轨道铁路桥长6772米。铁路桥连接原来的天津—浦口和上海—南京两条铁路线，使火车过江从过去一个半小时缩短为现在的2分钟。大桥是南北交通的重要枢纽，也是南京的著名景点之一。南京长江大桥的建成标志着中国桥梁建设的一个飞跃，大大方便了长江两岸的物资交流和人员往来，对促进经济发展和改善人民生活起到了巨大作用。”

解析：

整体为四句话，都稍有长度。具体翻译时可以拆分。前两句为具体描述，三四句为其地位与作用。我们逐句翻译一下，句一“南京长江大桥是长江上首座由中国设计、采用国产材料建造的铁路、公路两用桥，上层的4车道公路桥长4589米，下层的双轨道铁路桥长6772米。”可以根据自身语言功底拆分为两到三句话，此处拆为两句，按照逗号拆分。 先翻译主干，翻译为 “The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge is the first rail-road bridge,”再增加修饰“which designed by China across the Yangze River and used domestic materials”,构成定语从句。后半部分说的是其结构，处理为第二句，翻译为“The upper level is a four-lane road bridge whose length is 4,589 meters and the lower level is a double-rail one whoset length is 6,772 meters.本句句式结构为两个并列句中嵌套定语从句，并不复杂。主要是词汇“车道”“轨道”“铁路”以及“长江大桥”需要注意积累。

The bridge has two small side arches on either side of the main arch. These side arches serve two important functions: First, they reduce the total weight of the bridge by about 15.3% or approximately 700 tons. Second, when the bridge is submerged during a flood, they allow water to pass through, thereby reducing the forces on the structure of the bridge. (拱桥在洪水时让水满过去而不会倒塌, 桥的奇特之处)

The Zhaozhou Bridge was constructed in the years 595-605 during the Sui Dynasty. It is credited to a craftsman named Li Chun (李春). Since it was built, it has withstood 10 floods, eight battles, and many earthquakes including a 7.2 degree earthquake in 1966. Yet, the support structure remains intact and the bridge is still in use. (何人建造; 经过无数次的风雨和地震，至今仍安然无恙)
