The central problem of translating has always been if to translate literally or freely.The argument has been going on until at least the first century BC.Up to the beginning of the 19th century,many writers was preferred some kind of “free” translation:the spirit,not the letter; the message rather than the form;the matter not the manner.This was the often revolution slogan of writers who wanted the truth to be read and understand.Then at the turn of 19th century,the view translation was impossible gained some currency.If attempting at all,it must be as literally as possible.This view peaked the statements of an extreme “literalists” Walter Benjamin and Vladimir Nobokov.Now,the context has changed,but the basic problem remained.

【8】literally-literal

【解析】
试题分析:本文主要是讨论翻译到底应该是直译还是意译。
【1】if-whether 考查连词。此处为固定搭配:whether……or……,是……还是。
【2】until-since 考查连词。此处句意为:自从公元前1世纪以来这个问题就一直在争论之中。根据句意可知用since。
【3】去掉was 考查语态。根据句意此处为 主动语态,故去掉was。
【4】revolution-revolutionary 考查形容词。此处为形容词做定语修饰名词,故用形容词revolutionary。
【5】understand-understood 考查语态。此处为被动语态,故用过去分词。
【6】view后加that 考查引导词。View后是一个同位语从句,对前面的view起到解释说明的作用。从句不缺少成分,故用that。
【7】attempting-attempted 考查非谓语动词。此处是省略:if (translation were) attempted, 逻辑主语是translation,被动关系,故用过去分词。
【8】literally-literal 考查形容词。前面有be动词,所以后面是形容词做表语,用literal。
【9】an-the 考查冠词。此处为特指,用定冠词the。
【10】remained-remains考查时态。此处为现在时态,主语problem是三单,故用remains。
