When a dispute //between food writer Selene Nelson and Waitrose magazine editor William Sitwell //exploded into headlines //after Mr Sitwell sent such a rude reply to a proposal for a vegan recipe series, he resigned.
【主干】he resigned。
【修饰成分】between food writer Selene Nelson and Waitrose magazine editor William Sitwell 为between… and…介词短语作后置定语, 修饰 a dispute,翻译时前置放到所修饰的名词前面。 after Mr Sitwell sent such a rude reply to a proposal for a vegan recipe series 时间为状语从句,翻译时应该调整语序,放到所修饰的主句之前翻译。
【翻译】在《维特罗斯》杂志编辑威廉· 西特威尔对纯素食食谱系列的提议作出粗鲁答复后, 他与美食作家赛琳娜· 尼尔森的争论成了头条新闻,之后他就辞职了。
