拿到題目時,先確立核心時態:描述「自...以來一直以來的夢想」需使用現在完成式,而描述當前的研究與挑戰則使用一般現在式或現在進行式。在詞彙選擇上,應展現外交/學術級別的精準度,例如將「極端不利的環境」譯為 hostile space environment,「太空開拓者」譯為 space pioneers。此外,須注意中英文句型結構的差異,適當運用分詞構句(如 attempting to...)來串聯語意,避免產生中式英文的流水句。
【譯文】 Establishing human colonies on the Moon and traveling to Mars have been humanity's dreams ever since the dawn of the space age. However, these visions face numerous obstacles. How can humans survive in the extremely hostile space environment for months or even years? For instance, what would they eat? Agricultural researchers at a university in the Netherlands say they are taking the first steps to find the answers. They are growing vegetables in soil similar to that on the Moon and Mars, attempting to find methods that will help space pioneers grow their own crops. 【重點詞彙/句型】
