　　參考譯文
　　The "Chinese Bridge" Chinese Proficiency Competition for Foreign College Students is a large-scale international competition sponsored by the Office of Chinese Language Council International So far this yearly event has been successfully held for 12 times. A total of 123 contestants from 77 different countries participated in the finals this year. The "Chinese Bridge" Competition aims to arouse the interest of students in various countries in learning Chinese and strengthen the world's understanding of Chinese language and culture. It also builds a communication bridge between young college students of China and other countries.
　??1.第1句中的定語“由國家漢辦主辦的”較長,，故將其處理成后置定語,，用過去分詞短語sponsored by…引出，表被動,。
　　2.第2句中的“已經(jīng)成功舉辦了12屆”形式上為主動句,，其含義卻表被動，譯成英文時要采用被動語態(tài),，故譯作has been successful held for 12 times.
　　3.第3句“今年的決賽共有來自77個不同國家的123名選手參加”如果直譯成the finals of this year had 123 contestants…,，不符合英文表達習慣：翻譯時，先確定好主要結構(a total of 123 contestants participated in the finals),?！皝碜?7個不同國家的”作主語的后置定語，用介詞短語from 77 different countries來表達,。時間狀語“今年”置于句末,。
　　4.最后一句中的“建立起中國年輕大學生和其他國家學生之間溝通的橋梁”如果逐字對譯為builds a communication bridge between Chinese young college students and students in other countries則顯重復啰嗦,。故“省譯”兩個“學生”中的一個，把“中國”和“其他國家”處理成后置定語,，表達為between young college students of China and other countries.
