难句译注
1.Tributeshavebeenmade...;(para2)
havelefttributesoutsideAppleshops;(para5)
havealsopaidtribute,(para6)
在本文中,有三处用到了tribute一词,意思是“表示敬意;表示尊重”。
与动词make,leave搭配时可用复数,用pay则搭配为pay(a)tributetosb./sth.如:
Byerectingthisstatuewehavepaidtributetothefunderofourcollege.立这座雕像是为了纪念学院已故的创始人。
2、TimCook,whowasmade......saidhispredecessorhadleftbehind"acompanythatonlyhecouldhavebuilt,andhisspiritwillforeverbethefoundationofApple".句子中所含从句较多。
Whowasmade...引导的是非限定性定语从句,修饰TimCook。
......hispredecessorhad...和hisspiritwill..为said的宾语从句。
....thatonlyhecouldhavebuilt为定语从句,修饰acompany。
参考译文:
(今年)八月乔布斯卸任后接替总裁的蒂姆.库克说:
“他的前任留下了一家只有他才能建立起来的公司,他的精神将永远是苹果公司的基石。
”
3、SouthKorea'sSamsung,whichisinvolvedinanongoinglegalbattlewithAppleoverpatents,praisedMrJobsforhis"numerousrevolutionarychangestotheinformationtechnologyindustry".Whichisinvolved...是非限定性定语从句,修饰Samsung。
beinvolvedinsth./doingsth.意为“涉及”,“卷入;陷入”。
参考译文:
韩国三星公司,虽然就专利正在与苹果打一场官司,但仍然对乔布斯为信息产业带来的革命性变革表示高度赞赏。
