2011年Text3第五段,第六段:

 

①The apartments in the elegant towers Mies built on Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive, for example, were smaller—two—bedroom units under 1,000 square feet—than those in their older neighbors along the city’s Gold Coast. ②But they were popular because of their airy glass walls, the views they afforded and the elegance of the buildings’ details and proportions, the architectural equivalent of the abstract art so popular at the time.

The trend toward less was not entirely foreign. In the 1930s Frank Lloyd Wright started building more modest and efficient houses—usually around 1,200 square feet—than the spreading two-story ones he had designed in the 1890s and the early 20th century.

3. —twobedroom units under 1,000 square feet

第二句:

2. because of their airy glass walls, the views and the elegance of the buildings’ details and proportions,

3. the views they afforded

4. the architectural equivalent of the abstract art so popular at the time.

翻译解析:但它们很受欢迎,因为这些公寓通透的玻璃,可提供欣赏的(定语从句前置)美景,优雅的(名词形容词化)建筑细节及比例,是当时风靡的(修饰语前置)抽象艺术在建筑上的相应体现。

 

第三句:

The trend toward “less” was not entirely foreign.

翻译解析:“简约”之势并不完全是舶来品。

翻译解析20世纪30年代Frank Lioyd Wright 就开始建造更加适中而高效的房屋了——通常只有1200平方英尺左右——而不像他在19世纪90年代和20世纪初所设计的定语从句前置)加宽的两层楼住房。
