四级翻译新题型练习题整理

1.波士顿咨询公司最近做的一项研究显示,到2020年中国将会有

2.2亿家庭收入在2万到100万美元的富裕消费者。这些消费者中75%住在“较小城市”。随着网络的发展,较小城市的消费者的一种必

然趋势是他们更加依赖社交网络服务上的信息。很多网络顾客都是

通过微信、微博和QQ空间分组的。据估计今年中国将会有2.5亿消费者进行网购,位于四线城市的消费者平均每人会花费他们50%或

者更高的工资在网购上,这一数据要比一线城市的消费者的花费高。【参考译文】A recent study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group says there will be 220 million affluent consumers, who are from households earning between $ 20,000 to $ 1 million in China by 2020,

and 75 percent of them will live in “smaller” cities. With the development of the Internet, an inevitable trend among these consumers

is they are much more dependent on information from social networking services. Many of the website’s customers are “grouped” by Wechat, Weibo and QQ Zones. It is now estimated that 250 million Chinese consumers will shop online this year and the average shopper in a fourth-tier city in China will spend 50 percent or more of their income on e-commerce than those in top-tier cities.

2.聘金是中国传统习俗的一部分。这一习惯在整个中国都很普遍。

但是近几年来其标准不断上升,致使大多数家庭都很难达到。高额

的聘礼常常“抢劫”了新郎父母必生的积蓄,甚至引起家庭纠纷。

此外,许多新婚夫妇被迫举行奢侈的婚礼宴会,在这个过程中,大

量债务的累积可能使他们的新婚生活变得辛酸,至少在最初阶段是

这样。想想老一辈节俭的婚礼,虽然简简单单,但也幸福美满,没

有给他们婚后的生活带来任何负担。

【参考译文】Endowment may be part of Chinese tradition, but the standards have become so high in recent years that a majority of families are finding it difficult to meet them. The high endowment amounts often rob grooms’ parents of their life’s savings and causes family disputes. Besides, many newly married couples are forced to host extravagant wedding ceremonies to keep up with the Joneses and, in the process, run up huge debts that could turn their married life sour, at least in the initial phase. Considering the frugal wedding of many parents, simple but happiness, didn’t have any bearing on their married life.

3.我整整一生都处于对武术的痴迷之中。但是当我搬到一个有功夫

俱乐部的城市时,我才真正体会到了武术的魅力,同时也完全理解

了为什么人们称它为一种艺术。它是一种战斗同时也是在进行一种

自我防卫,这其实也达到了让你更加了解自己的身体,从而使它变

得更加强壮和健康的目的。功夫是一门完整的哲学,而且是中国文

化的重要组成部分。当我开始练习功夫的时候,我才意识到它有多

么地困难,哪怕是简单的一踢或者一打就需要几个月的时间去练习。但是我太爱它了!一个全新的世界正向我敞开它的大门。

【参考译文】I've been interested in martial arts in my whole life. But it was only when I moved to another city where there was a Kungfu club, that I really enjoyed it and fully understood why they call it an art. It is fighting and defending yourself, but it also understanding your body more, making it stronger and healthier. Kungfu is a whole philosophy and is a

big part of Chinese culture. When I started to practice kungfu I realized how difficult it was. Even a simple kick or punch demanded months of practice. But I loved it! A whole new world was opening to me.

4.来自利物浦大学的科学家、心理学家和英文教授发现,阅读莎士

比亚及其他古典作家的作品对心智发展大有裨益。这些作品能够抓

住读者的注意力,引发读者的自我反思。研究还发现,阅读书籍,

尤其是诗歌,可以增加与“自传体记忆”有关的大脑右半球的活动

频率,有助于读者根据阅读内容对个人经历进行反思和重新评价。

学者们表示,这意味着阅读古典作品比阅读自助类书籍更有帮助。

【参考译文】Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of Shakespeare and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind, it catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self-reflection. The research also found that reading books, in particular poems, increases the activity in the right hemisphere of the brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, which helps the reader to reflect on and reappraise their own experiences in light of what they have read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.

5.随着中国日益成为韩国的重要贸易伙伴,两国的联系从外交和贸

易延伸到了教育领域。中国是韩国最大的出口目的地,吸收了韩国

约四分之一的出口产品,同时也吸引了韩国超过四分之一的留学生。虽然在美国留学的好处之一是可以练习英语(对找工作的人来说英

语依然是最重要的语言),但韩国雇主对有中国经历的毕业生的需

求越来越大。比如三星集团两年前说,具有中文语言能力的求职者

会得到额外的加分。

【参考译文】As China’s increasing importance as a trading partner becomes palpable in neighboring South Korea, the connections between the countries are extending from diplomacy and trade to education. As South Korea’s biggest export destination, China takes in a quarter

of South Korea’s export s—and it also attracts more than a quarter of its neighbor’s students abroad. Although studying in the United States is practice speaking English, which is still seen as the most important language for job seekers, Korean employers are increasingly looking for graduates with experience in China. Samsung Group, for example, said two years ago that job applicants with Chinese language skills would get bonus points.

6.他们毒害年轻人的心灵,腐化年轻人的灵魂。正是它们,让年轻

人坐在沙发上虚度时光,沉浸于危险重重的幻想世界。18世纪的批

评家们对于新媒体对年轻人的冲击感到忧心忡忡,他们向小说提出

了如此的控诉。时至今日,小说害人的说法听起来已是如此的荒谬。对于当今时代那些控诉电视游戏使年轻人变成暴力罪犯的批评者们,历史最终也将对他们做出同样的审判。

【参考译文】They poisoned the mind and corrupted the morals of

young people, which wasted their time sitting on sofas immersed in dangerous fantasy worlds. Critics in the 18th century were so worried about the impact of new media on young people that they lodged the above-mentioned charge against novels. Today the idea that novels can harm people sounds daft. And that is surely how history will judge modern criticism of video games, which are accused of turning young people into violent criminals.

7.在我的生活里,我也尝试过很多次试着放手。虽然,学会放手不

会减轻生活里的伤痛或是改变什么,也不会让你的情绪得以发泄,

也许你仍然会被生活所困。然而,富有同情心是一种释放。会让你

和感受到你同情心的人得到精神上的洗礼。当你对一切都富有同情

心时,你会发挥自己最大潜力。你也会在生活中觉得自己有无限的

正能量。

译文:

在我的生活里,我也尝试过很多次试着放手。

I'm learning to do that a lot in this life, to let go.

大家是不是觉得很奇怪,明明汉语里倾向于过去式“尝试过”,但

英文翻译过来就是I'm learning to do。可以留意下这种翻译方式,不

过如果大家在考试时遇到这种情况,还是翻译成过去式比较好(如果

你的翻译水平没有达到炉火纯青的地步的话,呵呵),因为阅卷老师

也不是那种翻译大牛哦~

放手:to let go

虽然,学会放手不会减轻生活里的伤痛或是改变什么,也不会让你

的情绪得以发泄,也许你仍然会被生活所困。

It doesn't help to hang on to the hurt or judgment. It doesn't work to blame or criticize. Those approaches only serve to keep you stuck.

这里两个英文句子都用了形式主语it来代替前面提到过的“放手”,不繁琐,而且适合散文的风格。汉语只要语义衔接,可一直逗号下去,但英文,只要是结构完整,只能用句号或相应的标点哦。

减轻伤痛:to help to hang on to the hurt

被生活所困:keep sb stuck

然而,富有同情心是一种释放。会让你和感受到你同情心的人得到

精神上的洗礼。

But compassion is freeing. It uplifts both you and the person you are sharing it with.

释放直接用了freeing,很简单,但很舒服。第二句话汉语读起来很绕,但英语翻译出来是不是让你一下子就茅塞顿开?这就是英语的魅

力~

当你对一切都富有同情心时,你会发挥自己最大潜力。

When you act with compassion, you are living from your highest potential and connecting with your greatest self.

看上句翻译,“富有同情心”直接是compassion,这句里的“富有

同情心”就变换了一下方式,act with compassion,翻译一直重复是

没有美感的,有时候需要我们留意一下细节。

你也会在生活中觉得自己有无限的正能量。

The more you can do that, the better you'll feel in this life.

这句翻译很简单,就是用了the more...the better句型。

8. 关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话

故事,说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时

出现在天空中,巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿

的神箭手射下了9个太阳,地球才被保住。为了奖励后羿,王母娘

娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药,但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而

后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告,他被名利冲昏了头脑,变成了一个

暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观,于是她

偷走了后羿的长生不老药,飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有

了关于月宫仙子嫦娥,这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。

译文:

关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。

There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes.

我们在翻译“关于......”的时候,最常用的就是about,而本句

翻译用了which引导定语从句claim to explain......,换一种表达方式,可以让句式更新颖。大家可以记住这个用法哦。

一个是唐朝的神话故事,说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。

One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it.

hold在这里用的很地道,汉语的两个半句,翻译成英文,用一

个that就给衔接上了,可见翻译时,不必拘泥于原汉语句子的结构,如果自己能把意思表达很到位,而且句式很清晰,就可以尝试。

注意“被包围”本句中的翻译用了had 10 suns circling it。

有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中,巨大的热量几乎把地球烤

焦了。

One day all 10 suns appeared at once, scorching the planet with their heat.

“有一天”翻译为one day,其实并没有什么奇特之处。

“同时出现”appeared at once,这个at once还可以表示“同时”,大家切记哦。

其实汉语的两个半句,翻译过来可以用两个完整的英语句子来表示,但这里的翻译退而求其次,用了现在分词scorching引导的伴随状语,表示一种结果,不失为很好的翻译方式哈。

多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳,地球才被保住。

It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns.

注意“多亏”的翻译是It was thanks to。这的翻译大家看下英语的后半句,汉语里有“9”这个数字,但翻译过来,却只有一个数字one,但表示的意思却相同-剩下了一个太阳。翻译有时候就是这么奇特,没有特定的标准。

为了奖励后羿,王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药,但是王母警告他必须正当使用。

As his reward, the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality, but she warned him that he must use it wisely.

本句翻译很简单,中英翻译比较平衡。注意几个专有名词。

“王母娘娘” the Heavenly Queen Mother

“长生不老药”Elixir of Immortality

use sth wisely:正当使用某物

然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告,他被名利冲昏了头脑,变成了一个暴君。

Hou Yi ignored her advice and, corrupted by fame and fortune, became a tyrannical leader.

翻译这个句子时,首先要考虑到用何种句式,能够使自己的翻译看起来清晰明了而不繁琐。这里用了and,连接两个动词过去式引导的分句。

没有理会也就是忽视,ignore。

名利:fame and fortune

暴君: a tyrannical leader

后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观,于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药,飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。

Chang-Er, his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch

him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath.

本句翻译中用了两个and,来衔接句意,英语就是这么注重前

后的衔接。

袖手旁观:stand by

从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥,这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。

And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon, the Moon Fairy.

and thus began这个句首大家可以多用用。

9. 和平稳定是发展的前提和基础。上个世纪,人类经历了两次

世界大战,生灵涂炭,经济社会发展遭受严重挫折。第二次世界大

战结束以来,世界经济能够快速增长,主要得益于相对和平稳定的

国际环境。

我们应该恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则,充分发挥联合国及其安

理会在维护和平、缔造和平、建设和平方面的核心作用。坚持通过

对话和协商,以和平方式解决国际争端。

我们应该坚持国家不论大小、强弱、贫富都是国际社会平等一员,以民主、包容、合作、共赢的精神实现共同安全,做到一国内

部的事情一国自主办、大家共同的事情大家商量办,坚定不移奉行

多边主义和国际合作,推进国际关系民主化。

译文:

和平稳定是发展的前提和基础。上个世纪,人类经历了两次世

界大战,生灵涂炭,经济社会发展遭受严重挫折。第二次世界大战

结束以来,世界经济能够快速增长,主要得益于相对和平稳定的国

际环境。

Peace and stability form the prerequisite and foundation for development. The two world wars in the last century caused mankind untold sufferings and world economic and social development severe setbacks. It is mainly due to the relatively peaceful and stable international environment that the world economy has been able to grow

at a fast pace in the post-war era.

“和平稳定”固定说法:peace and stability

"得益于"用了句型 it is due to...

我们应该恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则,充分发挥联合国及其安理会在维护和平、缔造和平、建设和平方面的核心作用。坚持通过对话和协商,以和平方式解决国际争端。

We should abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and bring into full play the central role of the United Nations and its Security Council in peace keeping, peace making and peace building. We should seek peaceful settlement of international disputes through dialogue and consultation.

“宗旨和原则”固定说法:the purposes and principles

我们应该坚持国家不论大小、强弱、贫富都是国际社会平等一员,以民主、包容、合作、共赢的精神实现共同安全,做到一国内部的事情一国自主办、大家共同的事情大家商量办,坚定不移奉行多边主义和国际合作,推进国际关系民主化。

All countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the international community. We should work for common security in a spirit of democracy, inclusiveness, cooperation and win-win progress. Internal affairs of a country should be handled independently by the country itself and international affairs should be managed collectively through consultation by all. We should be committed to multilateralism and international cooperation, and promote democracy in international relations.

“国际社会”固定说法:international community

10.总结一年来的工作,我们清醒地看到,经济社会发展中还存在不少问题和困难。必须坚持把人民群众利益放在第一位。要切实维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益,着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题,保障城乡困难群众的基本生活。不断满足人们日益增长的物质文化需要,是社会主义现代化建设的根本目的。只有执政为民,我们的各项事业才能获得最广泛最可靠的群众基础和力量源泉。

译文:

总结一年来的工作,我们清醒地看到,经济社会发展中还存在不少问题和困难。

In reviewing our work of the past year, we clearly see that many problems and difficulties remain in our economic and social development.

总结用review,在这里用了现在分词形式,不失为一种简单而

又正式的方式。在后半句的翻译中,英文和汉语语序整体大相反,

注意“经济社会发展”的表达方式:in economic and social development.

必须坚持把人民群众利益放在第一位。

We must always put the interests of the people first.

这句话翻译起来比较简单,注意“把......放在第一位”put...first。

要切实维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益,着力解决关系

群众切身利益的突出问题,保障城乡困难群众的基本生活。

We must truly protect the people‘s economic, political and cultural rights and interests, pay particular attention to solving acute problems affecting their vital interests, and ensure that poor urban and rural residents have the basic necessities of life.

翻译整段,必然会有个别长句,这就需要我们把握整体结构,

表明大意即可。这段话是很正式的会议截取,所以咱们翻译时很多

词组或者句子结构都是有据可循的。比如这句“着力解决关系群众

切身利益的突出问题”,翻译的时候,没有完全按照汉语语序,而

是把“关系群众切身利益”翻译为现在分词作后置定语结构

affecting their vital interests。

注意固定词组与句式:

维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益 protect the people‘s economic, political and cultural rights and interests

着力解决......pay particular attention to solving (记住,pay attention to doing/sth 这个固定结构)

不断满足人们日益增长的物质文化需要,是社会主义现代化建

设的根本目的。

The fundamental goal of our socialist modernization drive is to continually meet the growing material and cultural needs of the people.

这句话翻译出来,也是将汉语语序颠倒后进行的翻译。用了to do不定式做表语。这句话大家可以完全背诵下来。

只有执政为民,我们的各项事业才能获得最广泛最可靠的群众

基础和力量源泉。

Only if we exercise power for the good of the people can we enjoy the broadest and most reliable support from the people and draw from them the strength for accomplishing all our undertakings.

只有......才......这个结构需要用到英文结构only if。后半句汉语

很复杂,所以英语翻译时,用了两个and连接的分句,来更清楚正

确地表达汉语的意思。

注意固定词组与句式:

执政为民 exercise power for the good of the people

我们的各项事业 all our undertakings

12.如果说我确实有所成就的话,那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试

就会成功。遇到挫折时,你可以暂时把问题放一放,一味纠结不仅

无济于事,有时反倒使情况更糟。先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面

的好友或去户外骑游一番;再回头看待问题,你或许会感到柳暗花明。这样做后,别忘了多加反省:“为什么这个方法会奏效?下次能不能

做得更好呢?”看你定的是什么目标,这种方法可以被反复有效应用。如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己,最后成功肯定非你莫属。孜孜不

倦向来无敌。

译文:

如果说我确实有所成就的话,那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就

会成功。

The only reason I’ve managed to accomplish anything isbecause I am a firm believer in continuous improvement.

翻译这个句子的时候,用了句式the only reason is...because,大

家看到汉语“如果说......”可能会一下头脑晕掉,不知道怎么来翻译,但换一个方式,不用if等其它表示如果的单词或词组,也不失为一

种迂回翻译的好方法哦。

注意:

我坚信: I am a firm believer (汉语的动词翻译成英文成了“形

容词+名词”的形式,亲,你翻译的时候会不会这么做呢?)

遇到挫折时,你可以暂时把问题放一放,一味纠结不仅无济于事,有时反倒使情况更糟。

If you fail insomething, distance from the event for a day or two, because agonizing over theproblem will not make it go away (and will make it a lot worse).

遇到挫折:fail insomething

暂时:for a day or two(for a day or two有时并不仅仅指一两天,还可以表示暂时哦)

纠结:agonizing over theproblem

先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番;再回头看待问题,你或许会感到柳暗花明。

Read a goodbook, catch up with some friends you haven’t seen in a long time, or go on anature hike. You will be able to look at the issue with a fresh perspective.

柳暗花明:a fresh perspective(将汉语里的成语翻译成英文,很多时候都找不到固定的英语翻译,我们就可以根据意思,用自己熟悉的单词或词组来表示它的意思,只要保证意思不变就可以哦)

户外骑游:go on anature hike

这样做后,别忘了多加反省:“为什么这个方法会奏效?下次能不能做得更好呢?”

After you have done that, ask yourself: “Why did this work out and how can Ido better next time?”

奏效:work out

看你定的是什么目标,这种方法可以被反复有效应用。如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己,最后成功肯定非你莫属。孜孜不倦向来无敌。

This process very well could repeat itself several times depending on the nature of your goal, but if you keep making a firm commitment to continuously improve yourself, you will develop so much that the only option left is success. Consistent hustle always wins.

最后这句翻译,用but把汉语的两个句子衔接起来,不失为一

种极好的衔接方式。而且大家注意下我已经标红的very well could repeat,本来可以是could repeat very well,但very well放到前面更

地道,大家平时可以多看一些翻译资料,多多积累,自然就会翻译

出地道的英文咯~

13.澳门,南海之滨一颗闪耀的明珠,以她的风采、沧桑和辉煌,更以1999年12月20日这个不同寻常的日子,吸引着全世界的目光。

自古以来,澳门就是中国的领土,中华儿女世世代代在这里繁

译文:

澳门,南海之滨一颗闪耀的明珠,以她的风采、沧桑和辉煌,

更以1999年12月20日这个不同寻常的日子,吸引着全世界的目光。

A shining pearl on the coast of South China, Macao attracts the world’s attention for her charm, history of great events and glory, especially for the unusual date of December 20, 1999.

本句翻译没有完全按照汉语语序,而是用英语特有的翻译方式

来凸显一些值得大家注意的细节。

South China Sea 表示中国南海,不是“南中国海”

East China Sea 东海

自古以来,澳门就是中国的领土,中华儿女世世代代在这里繁

衍生息。

Macao has been the territory of China ever since the ancient times. TheChinese people have been living and working there for generations.

汉语为一个长句,但翻译为英文就要注意,要分成两个句子。

自古以来:ever since

早在80年代,世纪伟人邓小平就提出了"一国两制"的伟大构想。

Early in the 80s, Mr. Deng Xiaoping, one of the great figures of thecentury, put forward the bold concept of "One Country, Two Systems".

注意“80年代”这种翻译方式

伟人:great figure

提出:put forward

一国两制:One Country, Two Systems

1997年7月1日,中华人民共和国恢复对香港行使主权。

On July 1,1997, the People’s Republic of China resumed her sovereignty over Hong Kong.

本句是个简单句,很好翻译。

恢复对......行使主权:resume one's sovereignty over

今年,澳门又将彻底结束外国管治,回到祖国怀抱,这是中华民族的又一件历史盛事,它标志着中国人民向着祖国统一的伟大目

标又迈出了重大的步。澳门的明天一定会更好美好。

This year, Macao will completely get rid of the foreign regime and return tomotherland. This is another great historical event for the Chinese people. Itsymbolizes another big step for the Chinese people on their way towards thegreat goal of the country’s reunification. Macao’s f uture is sure to be evenbrighter.

本汉语长句翻译成英语,共用了4个英语完整句。汉语可能任

何时候都可以用逗号来衔接两个整句,但英语不可以,完整句后必

须用句号或表示相同概念的标点。

14.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 “ 1 ” 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。

15.北京有无数的胡同(hutong)。平民百姓在胡同里的生活给古都

北京带来了无穷的魅力。北京的胡同不仅仅是平民百姓的生活环境,而且还是一门建筑艺术。通常,胡同内有一个大杂院,房间够4到

10个家庭的差不多20 口人住。所以,胡同里的生活充满了友善和

人情味。如今,随着社会和经济的飞速发展,很多胡同被新的高楼

大厦所取代。但愿胡同可以保留下来。

参考答案

In Beijing, there are numerous hutongs. The life of common people

in hutongs brings endless charm to the ancient capital, Beijing. The

hutong in Beijing is not only the living environment of common people

but also a kind of architecture. Usually, there is a courtyard complex inside hutong, with rooms shared by 4 to 10 families of about 20 people. Therefore, life in hutongs is full of friendliness and genuine humanity. Nowadays, with rapid social and economic development, many hutongs are replaced by new tall buildings. I hope hutongs can be preserved.

难点精析

1.带来了无穷的魅力:翻译为bring endless charm to。

2.汉语习惯于用并列的散句或短语来表达一个语境,而英文习

惯上用整句表述,句内不太重要的信息会用 | 介词短语或从句来补

充说明,如本段中“胡同内有一个大杂院,房间够4到10个家庭的

差不多20口人住”是:两个并列关系的汉语短句,翻译成英文时

可将第二句用with介词结构表达出来,起补充说明的作用。

3.充满友善和人情味:翻译为full of friendliness and genuine humanity。

4.随着社会和经济的飞速发展:翻译为with rapid social and economic development,也是with介词短语的应用,在句中作伴随状语。

16.过去的七年,中国的房地产(real estate)业经历了前所未有的高

速增长。对于那些月薪较低却渴望在大城市拥有一套属于自己的体面、舒适的栖身之所的人来说,高昂的房价是他们无法承受的负担。鉴于这一状况,政府近来采取了一系列的措施来防止房价过快增长,包括提高利率及增加房产税等。目前,这些措施在部分城市已经取

得了初步的成效。

参考答案

In the past seven years, China’s real estate industry has developed

in a record high speed. For those who earn less but are eager to own a decent and comfortable place of their own in a big city, the high housing price is a heavy burden that they cannot afford. For this reason, the government has taken a series of measures to prevent the housing price from rising too fast, including raising interest rates and increasing taxes

on real estate etc. Presently, these measures have achieved initial effects

in some cities.

难点精析

1.房地产业:翻译为real estate industry。

2.前所未有的高速增长:翻译为a record high speed。

3.鉴于这一状况:可以根据上下文的语境转译为for this reason。

4.采取一系列的措施:翻译为take a series of measures。

5.取得初步成效:翻译为achieve initial effects。

17.如今,越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现

象的原因如下:首先,大学生把在校的大多数时间都用在了专业学

科学习上,只有当他们开始找工作的时候,才意识到自己缺乏必要

的职业培训。其次,大学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈,这导致任何

一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此,强烈建议大学生在课

余时间做一些兼职工作,以积累相关的工作经验。

参考答案

Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training. Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce. And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find

a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.

真题精讲之英语四级翻译满分冲刺策略 2015年12月英语四级已经进入最后倒计时的紧张阶段,文都网校的广大童鞋们,临时抱佛脚也是需要技巧的哦,大学英语四级满分冲刺策略,赶快get! 1. 增译法 在使用增译法时,需要注意以下原则:符合上下文的需要;符合英语的语言习惯和英美等国的文化习俗;符合英美人的思维方式。具体请看下面的例子: 例1.【试题原句】中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。(2015年6月四级真题) 【思路分析】SVO=中国+给(在线零售商)+机会;“以极具竞争力的价格”为方式状语,可译为“at a highly competitive price”,“销售商品的”为定语,修饰“机会”。 【参考译文】China provides millions of online retailers with an opportunity to sell their goods at a very competitive price. 【技巧探秘】本句的主干部分为“中国给……零售商……机会”,为了便于理解,可以进一步将原句理解为“中国给数百万在线零售商(提供了)以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会”,这种情况下,主干为“中国给……零售商(提供)……机会”,此时就可以考虑使用“provide sb with sth…”的结构译出。此外,该句还根据语义将“销售商品”补充为“销售(他们的)商品”,译为“their products”,再次强调“商品”的所有者为前面提到的“在线零售商”。 例2.【试题原句】随着旅行多了,年轻人在大城市和著名景点花的时间少了,他们反而更为偏远的地方所吸引,有些人甚至选择长途背包旅行。(2014年12月四级真题) 【思路分析】“随着旅行多了”作伴随状语,将其译作“with more travel”,置于句首。因其余分句的内容均独立完整,故可将其分译成三句。“年轻人……的时间少了,他们反而更为……所吸引”,两句间表对比,可用 instead连接。另外,也可以将这两句简化为“年轻人更加喜欢偏远的地方,而不是大城市和著名景点”,将其处理为“…do …, rather tha n …更喜欢……而不是……”。处理最后一个分句时,注意“甚至”表示递进,可将其译作“furthermore”,或者“even”均可。若将主语“有些人”逐字译作“some people”,则稍显笼统,可依上文,具体译作“some young tourists”。 【参考译文】With more travel experience, youngsters tend to spend more time in remote areas,rather than big cities and famous resorts. Furthermore, some young tourists would choose backpacking.

The main crop there is wheat. In China, some people use flour to bake bread,while most people make steamed bread and noodles with flour. xx 中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。构成现代世界基础的许多元素起源于中国。中国现在拥有世界上发展最快的经济,并正经历着一次新的工业革命。中国还启动了雄心勃勃的太空探索计划,其中包括到20年建成的一个太空站。目前,中国是世界最大的出口国之一,并正在吸引大量外国投资。同时,它也在海外投资数十亿美元。2011年,中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。 快递 据报道,今年中国快递服务(courier service)将递送大约120亿件包裹。这将使中国有可能超越美国成为世界上最大的快递市场。大多数包裹里装着网上订购的物品。中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。仅在11月11日,中国消费者就从国内最大的购物平台购买了价值90亿美元的商品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日。因此,快递业在中国扩展就不足为奇了。

翻译大纲样题: 中国新年是中国最重要的传统节日,在中国也被称为春节。Chinese New Year, known as Spring Festival in China, is the most important one among all traditional Chinese festival.新年的庆祝活动从除夕开始 一直延续到元宵节(the Lantern Festival),即从农历(lunar calendar)最后一个月的最后一天至新年第一个月的第十五天。New Year celebrations start on Chinese New Year’s Eve, the last day of the last month in Chinese lunar calendar, and last to the Lantern Festival, the 15th day of the first month (of the next year).各地欢度春节的习俗和传统有很大差异,但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚,一起吃年夜饭。Customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely from

place to place. However, New Year’s Eve is usually an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner.为驱厄运、迎 好运,家家户户都会进行大扫除。人们 还会在门上粘贴红色的对联(couplets),对联的主题为健康、发财 和好运。其他的活动还有放鞭炮、发红 包和探访亲友等。People also stick the red couplets on the door which topics are health, wealth, and fortune, and do other activities such as setting off firework, sending red envelopes, and visiting relatives and friends. 首先,这段关于中国春节的小文章 难词较多,比如“传统”、“庆祝活动”、“除夕”、“延续”、“习俗”、“年夜饭”、“厄运”、“大扫除”“主题”、“放鞭炮”、“发红包”等等, 这些词有的比较抽象,有的不太常见, 或者有的是中国特有的说法,英文中没

1.越来越多的中国年轻人正对旅游产生兴趣,这是近年来的新趋势。年轻游客数量的不断增加,可以归因于他们迅速提高的收入和探索外部世界的好奇心。随着旅行多了,年轻人在大城市和著名景点花的时间少了,他们反 而更为偏远的地方所吸引。有些人甚至选择长途背包旅行。最近调查显示,很多年轻人想要通过旅行体验不同的 文化、丰富知识、拓宽视野。 2.大熊猫是一种温顺的动物,长着独特的黑白皮毛。因其数量稀少,大熊猫已被列为濒危物种。大熊猫对于世 界自然基金会有着特殊的意义。自1961年该基金会成立以来,大熊猫就一直是它的徽标。大熊猫是熊科中最稀有 的成员,主要生活在中国西南部的森林里。目前,世界上大约有1000只大熊猫。这些以竹为食的动物正面临许多 威胁。因此,确保大熊猫的生存比以往更重要。 3.中国的互联网社区是全世界发展最快的,2010年,中国约有 4.2亿网民,而且人数还在迅速增长。互联网的日渐流行带来了重大的社会变化。中国网民往往不同于美国网民。美国网民更多的是受实际需要的驱使,用互联 网为工具发电子邮件、买卖商品、做研究、规划旅程或付款。中国网民更多是出于社交原因使用互联网,因而更 广泛的使用论坛、博客、聊天室等等。 4.假日经济的现象表明:中国消费者的消费观正在发生巨大变化。根据统计数据,中国消费者的消费需求正在从基本生活必需品转向对休闲、舒适和个人发展的需求。同时,中国人的消费观在蓬勃发展的假日经济中正变得成熟。 因此产品结构应做相应调整,来适应社会的发展。另一方面,服务质量要改善,以满足人们提高生活质量的要求。

大学英语四级真题-翻译

今年考的三套翻译题均是跟中国的公共交通相关的内容,介绍了公交车、飞机、地铁服务的提升,以及市民生活水平的提高。展现了我国社会的发展和人民幸福水平的提升。 交通方式这一话题是考生日常所熟知的,也比较贴近考生的生活,词汇对于考生来说不是问题,“公交车”、“航空”等都是小学初中就接触到的词汇,但是需要考生去积累一些组合词汇,例如:“私家车private car”、“老年市民senior citizens”等。 对段落内容的理解也不是难事,毕竟交通方式是生活中老生常谈的话题,主要的难点在于一些固定的句式和搭配,例如“随着经济的发展和人民生活水平的提高”是考生耳熟能详的“万金油”句式。 诸如此类句式还有:“曾是……used to be…”、“越来越……more and more…”这些表达应该是考生在平时的学习中慢慢积累的。 此外,时态语态也是考生容易出错的点,由于汉语和英语表达习惯的不同,汉语中不常用被动,或者即使表达被动的意思也不会体现在句式上,例如:“公交车设施不断更新”,从字面并没有任何提示是被动,但语义的理解却带有被动的含义,翻译成英语时一定要体现出“be+过去分词”的结构。 又如“许多城市……一直努力……”,需要判断,这个动作发生在过去的某个时间节点,一直持续,并还可能持续下去,最后确定此处应选用现在完成进行时,在平时的学习中,应理解每种时态对应的情况,才能更加贴切地表达出原文所要传达的意思 句子的语序调整仍值得考生注意。时间状语、地点状语、原因状语、目的状语和方式状语仍然是重要的考点,一般情况下都要后置。 其次是句型的变化。注意运用被动语态(从中英文语用习惯以及动词发出者的逻辑主语去改句子)、插入语(例如,“包括许多农民和外出务工人员”)、there be 句型(非人主语+有/存在。例如,中国有越来越多的城市开始建设地铁)和It为形式主语的句子(例如,乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的)进行改句,防止句式单一。 过去,乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的。 In the past, travelling by airplane was unimaginable for most Chinese.

12月英语四级翻译题汇总及要点解析(文都版) 新浪教育[微博]讯 2014年12月20日全国大学英语四级考试已结束,本次考试为多题多卷,新浪外语第一时间收集整理不同版本试题,供考生参考,以下是新浪网教育频道第一时间收集整理不同版本试题,供考生参考,以下为文都教育提供的四级翻译试题及参考答案汇总: 2014年12月英语四级考试已经结束,由于是国家水平等级考试,所以在难度系数的控制上,处于稳定状态,和具有选拔性质的研究生考试相比,题目偏容易,而且在考查形式上也有所差异,前者是汉译英,而后者是英译汉。正是由于考查形式的不同,要求我们所有的考生对于翻译的要点要了然于胸。 由于中英文间在表达上的差异,当几个动词出现在文章中时,中文可以用排比的方式直接引出,而英文则需要用灵活多变的结构来表达。 例如在<题目三>中, 最近调查显示,很多年轻人想要通过旅行体验不同的文化、丰富知识、扩展视野。 其中“体验,丰富,扩展”这三个动词,用英文表达的话可以有如下两种表达形式: ① The latest survey shows that a large number of young people want toexperience different culture, enrich knowledge and broaden the vision by traveling. (全用动词表达) ② The latest survey shows that by traveling,a large number of young people want to experience different culture ,enriching knowledge and broadening the vision 。(后两个用非谓语动词形式表达) 以上两种表达从内容呈现上,都能拿到分数。但第二种表达相较之第一种,在结构上更为灵活多变,希望各位同学能熟练掌握相关结构。 再比如,在题目<二>中, 美国网民更多的是受实际需要的驱使,用互联网为工具发电子邮件、买卖商品、规划旅程或付款。 其中出现了这样一些动词“用互联网,发电子邮件,买卖商品,规划旅程,付款”,在表述上依旧可以借鉴上面知识要点。

Nowadays, Peking Opera has became one of the most popular arts among people and widespread all over the country. 二、丝绸之路The Silk Road 丝绸之路实际上是很多条中国通往古罗马商路的总称。古代丝绸之路的起点是中国当时的古都长安(现在的西安),终点在地中海东岸,几乎有一半路程穿越新疆。丝绸之路始于汉武帝时期,不仅是佛教进入中国的通道,而且路上商旅往来络绎不绝。元朝时,丝绸之路逐渐被日益繁荣的海上贸易所取代。丝绸之路还是一条友谊之路,在政治、经
