2016英语六级翻译话题优先复习:长跑周
To enjoy a holiday，people often have to work for awhole week previous to it.This arrangement is notjust confined to the Labor Day holiday.According tothe official schedule each year,office workers canenjoy so-called “a longer holiday”by exchanging theirweekend before the legal holiday forweekdays，which means a longer holiday comes at the price of a longer workweek.Thisarrangement,however,has not been well received by the public.Up to 75 percent of therespondents to a survey on the Internet said they were dissatisfied with it.And 93 percentcomplained that holidays are too short.Many people have complained about theauthorities'arrangement and called for a more reasonable holiday schedule.If holidays arecoming along at the cost of an even heavier burden,they will be hardly enjoyable for theworkers.
1.必须:除了用have to表达，还可用be forced to或feelobliged to表达。
2.不局限于:可以使用词组be not confined to或be notrestricted to来表达，其中confine和restrict皆意为“限制，约束”。
3.“更长的假期”:翻译引号中的内容时可以采用so-called,例如“可以享受更长的假期,”就可以翻译can enjoy a so-called longer holiday,这样可以表达出原文讽刺的语气。
4.以更长的工作周为代价:可译为at the price of a longer workweek。At the price of意为“以…为代价”，也可用at the cost of来表达。
5.公众不是很接受这种安排:可译为has not been well received by the public。其中receive意为“接受，认可”。
6.如果假期是以更繁重的工作任务为代价…:可译为If holidays are coming along at the cost of aneven heavier burden...
7.无力消受:可以理解为“很难让人从中得到享受”，故译为be hardly enjoyable。
