Luhuitou Park is located three kilometers away from the southern of Sanya City. It is famous for a beautiful and moving love story. A long time ago, there was a hunter from Li nationality who chased a mountain deer from the Five-Finger Mountain all the way to the South China Sea. Faced to the sea and had nowhere else to flee, the mountain deer looked back and suddenly turned into a beautiful girl. Therefore,the spectacular sculpture of “Luhuitou’’ built by this legend had become a witness of romantic love . Luhuitou Park is also the best choice place for overlooking panoramic view of Sanya and the Sanya Bay.
1.困难:首先,不知道“鹿后头”是需要保留中国特色用拼音直译还是需要意译。其次,像五指山和中国南海这些地名,应该怎么样译才能又规范又通俗易懂,并且这些地名前需不需要用the。再次,时态的变化在这里比较纠结,什么时候用现在时,什么时候用过去时,容易给读者造成混乱。最后,最后一句话的登高鸟瞰比较难翻译,如果二者都表达出来就有点累赘,最后选择了将鸟瞰译出来,能够使外国读者通俗易懂。
2.工具上,运用了有道字典还有百度,搜索了有关地名的翻译和鹿回头的相关背景知识。
