the new eldorado
新埃尔多拉多 / 新宝库


Explanation:
eldorado - an imaginary place of great wealth and opportunity; sought in South America by 16th-century explorers

黃金國

黃金國(西班牙文:El Dorado)為一傳說,始於一個全身披滿金粉的南美部落族長的故事。

據考古和歷史學者的研究,可能的遺址是在現今南美秘魯高原一處叫庫斯科(Guzco)的地方,庫斯科曾經是南美洲大陸,印加帝國的首都,於1532年遭受西班牙軍隊蹂躪,原有的印加建築全遭毀滅,唯能從被歲月磨得光滑凹陷的石板路上,找到些從前的昌盛。


我认为可以两种处理方法:

第一种是音译,然后加注解,解释埃尔多拉多(另有埃尔拉多的译法)是理想中的黄金国;
另一种是意译,处理为宝库。

the new eldorado
新藏宝地


Explanation:
ГУМ是前苏联的“国营百货公司”Государственный Универсальный Магазин,今天改称 Главный Универсальный Магазин,简称不变,仍是公家营业机构,因此称为“古姆百货商店”不如称为“公营百货公司”。

你那整句话大致可以如下翻译:
莫斯科的公营百货公司,最近成了让意大利制造的纺织品可以大捞一笔的新藏宝地。

El Dorado的故事不难理解,随便查就找到了。不过,最好不要直译,采取意译会恰当些。
