大学英语四级翻译的复习与应试

大学英语四级翻译的复习与应试 翻译是一门艺术, 同时又是一种实践。它是对英语综合能力的考查,没有一定的英语基本功,要想在这部分得到高的分数是不可能的。但是,具有了一定的英语基础,并不等于具有较高的翻译能力。因此在学习和复习时掌握一些翻译的基本常识和一些常用方法, 针对考试中经常出现的一些语言现象, 仔细分析一些翻译实例, 总结出一些规律性的东西, 再加以必要的练习, 对考生来说是非常必要的,而且在短时间内提高自己在该部分的得分是完全有可能的。 试题与考生应试情况分析 通过考试试题的分析,我们发现英译汉试题中的英文句子大致有以下三个特点: 1. 句子较长,其中包括定语从句、状语从句等从属结构,致使句子结构复杂,意思不容易把握。 2. 句子虽然不长,但其中包含着较难理解的词、词组或短语,尤其是一些表示抽象意义的词,另外,句子中往往含有比较复杂的语法现象。 3.考查的翻译技巧主要包括: (1)定语从句的译法; (2) 被动语态的处理; (3) 长句的处理等等。 掌握这些规律为我们复习应考提供了很大的方便,考生可以根据自己的实际情况,多选择一些与上述内容有关的文章,多做一些

有关的练习,并结合这类文章的特点,在练习的过程中总结出一些规律性的东西。根据我们的经验, 考生在这部分表现出的主要障碍有以下几个方面: 1.缺乏基本的翻译常识 作为公共英语学习者, 由于客观条件的限制, 他们在英语学习的过程中很少或根本就没有进行过系统的翻译训练, 更缺乏对翻译要求以及翻译过程等一些常识性的东西基本的了解, 因此在考前复习和考试过程中一筹莫展, 无从下手。 2.对于英译汉翻译技巧知之甚少 任何事情都有其内在的规律, 翻译也不例外, 作为考生, 在备考时应掌握一些英译汉过程中经常采用的翻译技巧, 注意体会英语和汉语之间的差异, 同时要特别注意考试中经常考的一些技巧, 并总结其中的翻译规律。 【

大学英语四级翻译技巧和复习策略

(一)大学英语四级翻译3大方法 积累常用词汇和词组 2013年12月的翻译内容涉及的多是有关中国传统文化,像:中国结(The Chinese knot),中餐(Chinese food),茶文化(Chinese tea)等。如果大家能够事前准备到一些中国传统文化的专有词汇,像:祈求好运、瑰宝、福、和、瓷器等,问题就会变得简单很多。 遗产heritage; legacy; inheritance,保护protect; safeguard; preserve; shelter,古人the ancients,古老的ancient。很多同学吐槽单词不会写,但也不能空着,一定要想到合适的表达,可以灵活地变通,比如:“第一流的”可以说成first-rate,也可以说成excellent,“尊敬”可以说成respect,也可以说成think highly of。当然要想灵活自如,备战过程中背诵积累是必不可缺的。 积累常见表达 翻译的文章主题和题材类似的情况下就会不可避免的出现一些重复表达,比如:Chinese tradition and culture中国传统和文化;the treasure of China 中国的瑰宝;an important part of... ...的重要组成部分;all over the country/ world遍布全国/全世界;the most popular最流行;most ..., while.... 很多(人)...,

而(另一些人)...。这些表达在介绍中国各种传统习俗时会频繁用到。因此,我们可以把一些常见的表达背诵下来。 平时多训练 改革后的四六级翻译题材贴近生活,翻译灵活性强,题目会给我们很大的发挥空间,一般都不会太难。只要大家平时做好了相应的训练,基本都可以做到灵活应对。例如这样的句型“烹饪不仅被视为一种技能,而且也被视为一种艺术”(cooking is considered as not only a skill but also an art);“精心准备的中餐既可口又好看”(The well-prepared Chinese food is both delicious and good-looking);“中餐既味美又健康”Chinese food is delicious as well as healthy;这里边就多次出现了大家熟悉的“不仅...而且...”“既...又...”句型表达。 (二)英语四级翻译技巧解析 一. 正确认识翻译技巧 从中国人进行的翻译定位上看,无论是英译汉还是汉译英,其根本问题都在译者的英语水平或造诣上。英译汉的题型,关键在于理解原文;而汉译英的题型,关键在于如何综合运用所学的英文知识,将我们原本理解的相当明白的汉语文字,以准确的英语通顺地表达出来。 笔者想提醒考生注意的是,各种翻译技巧只是工具。茅盾先生有一句话,如果两种语言的功底不够,那些技巧你也用不上;但若功底深厚,那些条条就成

大英四级段落翻译题集

大学英语四级改革新题型段落翻译题 Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)(原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英。翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等。四级长度为140-160个汉字。) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2. 中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如,我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。那一天,人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征着圆满,象征着家庭团聚。因此,中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year?s holiday),除了常见的家禽和肉类之外,人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物,如铰子和年糕。 参考答案 Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year?s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the new year cake. 难点精析 ■ 1.中国的传统节庆膳食:翻译为Traditional Chinese holiday meals,其中“节庆膳食”直接译为holiday meals , 即可,翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”的顺序。 2.纪念:翻译为介词短语in memory of,修饰前面的a day。 ■ 3.赛龙舟:翻译为hold dragon boat races,其中hold意为“举行”,“举行龙舟比赛”即“赛龙舟”。 4.观赏满月:“满月”即fMlmoon,此处的“观赏”可以译为viewing,也可以用enjoying或watching表示。 5.象征着家庭团聚:“象征”翻译为系表结构is a symbol for,也可以用动词symbolize表示,“家庭团聚”翻译:为family reunion 即可。 Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)(原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英。翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等。四级长度为140-160个汉字。)

2017年大学英语四级翻译练习题--唐装

2017年大学英语四级翻译练习题--唐装 请将下面这段话翻译成英文: 唐朝是中国古代最繁荣、兴旺、灿烂、光荣的时期。因此,中国人穿的传统服装就被称为“唐装(Tang suit)”。实际上,“唐装”并不是唐朝的服装。它的起源可以追溯到清朝,由马褂(Chinese jacket)演变而来。唐装的颜色多种多样,最常见的是红色、深蓝色、金色和黑色。唐装上一种常见的设计是使用汉字来表达好运和祝福。今天,仍然有很多人会在传统的节日里穿唐装。 参考翻译: The Tang Dynasty was the most thriving, prosperous, splendid and glorious period in ancient China.As a result, the traditional clothing worn by the Chinese is called “Tang suit”.Actually, "Tang suit”is not the clothing of the Tang Dynasty.Its origin can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, evolving from Chinese jacket.Tang suit is made in different colors, the most common are red, dark blue, gold and black.One common design is the usage of Chinese characters to convey good luck and wishes.Today,there are still many people who would wear Tang suit during traditional festivals. 1.唐朝是中国古代最繁荣、兴旺、灿烂、光荣的时期:该句的翻译重点是几个形容词的翻译,因此,考生应注意平时形容词的积累。这几个形容词可翻译为thriving, prosperous,splendid and glorious。 2.因此,中国人穿的传统服装就被称为“唐装”:“因此”可译为

大学英语四级考试翻译题精选练习(39) 1.Thisisyet_________________(两国人民的又一个共同点). 2.Hisscientificworks_______________(在英语国家得到广泛阅读). 3.Revolutionmeanstheemancipationoftheproductiveforces,_____________(改革也是解放生产力). 4.Heisoptimistic________________(对现时信息产业的发展状况). 5.Workinallfieldsshouldbesubordinatedtoand________________(服务于经济发展的进程). 1.anothercommonpointbetweenthepeopleofourtwocountries 解析:本题考查通过增补介词使译文的意思更完整。虽然原文没有和between相对应的词,但是"共同点"是两国人民之间在某方面进行比较的结果,所以增补between之后,符合英语表达习惯。增词法也是汉译英中常用技巧之一,再如:她以教书为业。(Sheisateacherbyoccupation.)我已重新考虑了那件事。(I'vehadsecondthoughtonthatmatter.) 2.werewidelyreadinEnglish-speakingcountries 解析:若是按照字面翻译,这句话很可能被译为werewidelyreadinEnglishcountries。但是原文中"英语国家"的含义是"讲英语的国家"。这体现了英汉表达差异。请考生看下面这句话的英译:我卖掉了彩电。/IsoldoutmycolorTV.这句译文错误在于,没弄清"彩电"的含义。"彩电"有两层意思:一是指具体的实物,即彩色电视机colorTVset;二是指屏幕上出现的影像,即彩色电视colorTV。而句子中卖掉的只能是机器,具体的实物。 3.andsodoesreform 解析:本题意为:革命是解放生产力,改革也是解放生产力。考点有二:第一,考查词性转移。原文中"解放"用作动词,"生产力"作宾语。译文中处理成名词短语"对生产力的解放"。第二,考查省译法。我们不能把原文译成andreformalsomeanstheemancipationoftheproductiveforces,这种结构显得臃肿累赘。为避免重复,可以选用andsodoes...来代替这个动宾结构。 4.aboutthepresentdevelopmentofinformationindustry 解析:"对......表示乐观"可以用句型beoptimisticaboutsth.。这句话不能译成aboutthestatusofthepresentdevelopmentofinformationindustry。"状况"是一个范畴词,没有实际含义,可省略不译。 5.servetheeconomicdevelopment 解析:"服务于......"即"为......服务",所以要用servesb./sth.的结构,不能译成beservedto。"进程"也是一个范畴词,可以省略不译。另外,besubordinatedto是一个固定结构,含义是"从属于......,隶属于......"。 声明:此资源由本人收集整理于网络,只用于交流学习,请勿用作它途。如有侵权,请联系,删除处理。
