“To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brought almost inexpressible relief.” said one recorder of events, “The air at twelve leagues’ distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.”
“看到美洲的海岸给焦急的旅行者带来了难以形容的宽慰。”其中一名当事人这样写道：“12里格开外的空气闻起来就像鲜花盛开的花园那样清甜。”
The colonists’ first glimpse of the new land was a sight of dense woods. The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a veritable real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia.
1. 首句的主干为主系表结构，即：The colonists’ first glimpse of the new land/ was /a sight of dense woods; 直译为：“这些殖民者看到的第一眼新大陆就是一片茂密的森林。”，意译为：“首先映入这些殖民者眼帘的是新大陆的大片茂密树林。”
2. 第二句是考研英语一翻译考到的句子，其主干为主系表结构，即：The virgin forest/ was/ a veritable treasure-house; 译为：这片原始森林是一个真正的宝库。注意: virgin forest 直译为“未开发的森林”不能译为“处女森林”！
3. with its richness and variety of trees 为the virgin forest 的修饰成分，译为：拥有大量各种数目的。
4. which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia 为定语从句，修饰a veritable treasure-house, 该定语从句较长，可译为单句，即：它从缅因州往南（向下）一直延绵至佐治亚州。
