参考译文:In five years from 1938 to 1943, Janpanese airforce had conducted over 200 aire raids Chongqing, in the Sourthwestern China. A group of the survivors of the bombings of Chongqing sued the Japanese government in the Tokyo District Court in March 2006. At 11:20 on December 14, Tokyo High Court decided to maintain the previous ruling that rejected the demanding for apology and compensation from the government, though the court acknoledged the fact of Chongqing bombings. ——Tokyo High Court Rejected Lawsuit from WWII Chongqing Bombing Survivors, People's Daily app, Dec. 14, 2017
解析:1)1938年至1942年,译成During 1938-1943,或From 1938 to 1943, 皆可。不过,为了与后面的“200余次”相呼应,即强调这么五年内如此多的次数,加一个in five years,会更好地体现这个内含。2) 在“ 进行200余次轰炸”中,虽然可以直接用bomb,不过,这里的“轰炸”却是air raid,而不是单纯的bombing。 从交际效率来说, over 200 air raids会比 bombed Chongqing over 200 times会更有效一些。3)“承认重庆大轰炸历史事实,但驳回诉讼原告要求日本政府谢罪赔偿的请求。”这个的意思重点在后半句,因此要放在前面,而将前半句的次要意思用though来引导。4)感谢@笑 @Angela @Teen 的参与和支持,为本译文做出了贡献。
