2017考研英语翻译模拟练习题(2)

凯程考研集训营,为学生引路,为学员服务! 第 1 页 共 1 页 2017考研英语翻译模拟练习题(2) There is no question that science-fiction writers have become more ambitious, stylistically and thematically, in recent years. (1) (But this may have less to do with the luring call of academic surroundings than with changing market conditions —a factor that academic critics rarely take into account.) Robert Silverberg, a former president of The Science Fiction Writers of America, is one of the most prolific professionals in a field dominated by people who actually write for a living. (Unlike mystery or Western writers, most science-fiction writers cannot expect to cash in on fat movie sales or TV tie-ins.) (2) (Still in his late thirties, Silverberg has published more than a hundred books, and he is disarmingly frank about the relationship between the quality of genuine prose and the quality of available outlet. )By his own account, he was “an annoyingly verbal young man ” from Brooklyn who picked up his first science-fiction book at the age of ten, started writing seriously at the age of thirteen, and at seventeen nearly gave up in despair over his inability to break into the pulp magazines. (3)( At his parents ’ urging, he enrolled in Columbia University, so that, if worst came to worst, he could always go to the School of Journalism and “get a nice steady job somewhere ”.) During his sophomore year, he sold his first science-fiction story to a Scottish magazine named Nebula. By the end of his junior year, he had sold a novel and twenty more stories. (4) (By the end of his senior year, he was earning two hundred dollars a week writing science fiction, and his parents were reconciled to his pursuit of the literary life. )“I became very cynical very quickly,” he says. First I couldn ’t sell anything, then I could sell everything. The market played to my worst characteristics. An editor of a schlock magazine would call up to tell me he had a ten-thousand-word hole to fill in his next issue. I ’d fill it overnight for a hundred and fifty dollars. I found that rewriting made no difference. (5)( I knew I could not possibly write the kinds of things I admired as a reader —Joyce, Kafka, Mann —so I detached myself from my work.) I was a phenomenon among my friends in college, a published, selling author. But they always asked, “When are you going to do something serious?” —meaning something that wasn ’t science fiction —and I kept telling them, “ When I ’m financially secure.” 答案 1.但是这一点与其说是与学术环境具有诱惑力的召唤有关,还不如说是与变化的市场状况有关——一这是一个学术评论家很少考虑的因素。 2.还不到四十岁,西尔弗伯格就已出版了一百多本书籍,而他对真正散文的质量与应时之作的质量之间的关系十分坦诚,毫无掩饰。 3.在他双亲的敦促下,他报考了哥伦比亚大学,所以即便最糟他也能进入新闻学校,“将来总可以有一份稳定的好工作。” 4.到大四结束的时候,他每星期写科幻小说已经可以赚两百美元了,而他的双亲也接受了他对于文学生涯的追求。 5.我知道我写不出作为读者的我所喜欢的东西,就像乔伊斯、卡夫卡、曼恩的作品,所以我不再那么关注我所写的东西。 总体分析 本文介绍了科幻小说家罗伯特·西尔弗伯格。文章先指出科幻小说的繁荣与市场需求关系紧密,接着通过介绍多产的科幻小说家西尔弗伯格的创作经历予以说明。 本文考查的知识点:后置定语、插入语、比较结构、同位语、上下文中词义的选择,等。

Let’s pour a full cup her….”As the party went on drinkers’ games continued with ceaseless laughter and people suddenly noticed that Xiangyun had disappeared. While they looked this way and that,a maid rushed in laughing,“ Young ladies. Hurry to have a look at the Lady Xiangyun. She’s sleeping on the stone bench over there.” The group tiptoed over,and sure enough,saw Xiangyun sleeping soundly. Fallen flowers scattered on her body,her hair and her face. Her fan had dropped on the ground aside. Bees danced in the air around her. Under her head was a make-shift pillow of peony flowers wrapped with

英语翻译练习题20篇 一、高中英语翻译 1.高中英语翻译题:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 1.这个专家所推荐的方法被证明是十分有效的。(prove) 2.对国家来说,保护生态环境和保持经济增长同样重要。(as...as) 3.如果有朝一日,学生能亲自参与到课程开发中,那该有多棒啊!(involve) 4.这本新发行的杂志不仅会影响青少年对时尚的看法,还会开启健康饮食的新潮流。(Not only) 【答案】 1.The method recommended by the expert proved (to be) very effective. 2.For/To a country, protecting the environment is as important as maintaining economic growth. 3.How great it is if one day students can be involved in the development of courses on their own. 4.Not only will the newly-released magazine influence teenager's opinions on fashion, but also it will start a new trend towards a healthy diet. 【解析】 【分析】 本题考查翻译句子,注意按括号内的要求翻译。 1.考查非谓语动词和prove的用法。The method 与recommend之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,表示被动,用过去分词作后置定语,prove用作连系动词,prove(to be)+adj表示“(被)证明是……的”,语境表明事情发生在过去,应该用一般过去时,故翻译为:The method recommended by the expert proved (to be) very effective 2.考查非谓语动词和as...as的用法。根据句意可知本句用动名词作主语,谓语动词用单数,as+adj+表示“同……一样……”,陈述的是客观事实,应该用一般现在时,故翻译为: For/To a country, protecting the environment is as important as maintaining economic growth. 3.考查感叹句和条件状语从句。根据句意可知本句用how+adj+it is形式的感叹句,同时用if引导条件状语从句,表示“如果”,be involved in表示“参与”,故翻译为:How great it is if one day students can be involved in the development of courses on their own. 4.考查倒装。not only…but also表示“不但……而且”,注意not only 和 but also后面都有主谓结构时,如果not only位于第一分句主语之前,则该分句要部分倒装;后一个分句,即but also后面不用倒装,故翻译为:Not only will the newly-released magazine influence teenager's opinions on fashion, but also it will start a new trend towards a healthy diet. 2.高中英语翻译题:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 1.这场因无视规则引发的事故值得我们深思。(ignore) _________________________

9、翻译症的主要特征是____。 A文从句顺 B流畅易懂 C声情并茂 D文笔拙劣 10、不可以的情况有___ A没有对等词 B内容和形式必须兼顾的情况 C词外含义 D A,B and C 1-5 DACAD 6-10 BCBAD } 简答题 1、结合具体事例你谈谈对“英语重形合,汉语重意合”这句话的理解。 形合指句子内部的链接或句子间的连接采用句法手段或词汇手段,意合指句子内部的链接或句子间的连接采用语义手段。印欧语言重形合,语句各成分的相互结合常用适当的链接词语或各种语言链接手段,以表示其结构关系。汉语重意合,句子各成分之间或句子之间的结合多依靠语义的贯通,少用连接语,所以句法结构形式短小精悍。 2、有人认为翻译的总体发展趋势是由归化逐步趋向与异化,你是否赞同这个观点 归化与异化作为翻译两种主要的翻译方法,一直是翻译界研究和争论的焦点之一。归化指以目的语文化为归宿,要求译者向目的语读者靠拢,采取目的语读者所习惯的表达方式,来传达原文的内容。异化指以源语文化为归宿,要求译者向作者靠拢采取目的语读者所习惯的表达方式来传达原文的内容。

2019年英语专八考试翻译模拟训练4

2019年英语专八考试翻译模拟训练4 Tombs and temples of ancient Egypt follow the Nile well into Sudan. Driving southward from Cairo into the valley, I entered a landscape that owed little to the present era. For the next 1,800 miles the thin blue ribbon of the Nile, flowing slowly north, unwound over brown soil and green fields, some only a few yards wide, others as broad as an Iowa cornfield. At the edge of the fields, rising in dramatic hills or stretching flat to the horizon, lay the brown barren deserts. The road followed the course of the Nile, now passing through the fields, now drawing a black line separating them from the desert. (参考答案) 尼罗河沿岸直到苏丹境内很远的地方,到处能够见到古埃及的坟墓和寺庙。我从开罗驱车南行,进入尼罗河河谷,这里的景色还没有受到多少现代的影响。从这里再往前一千八百英里,尼罗河像一条细细的蓝色丝带,缓缓流向北方,沿途穿过棕色的土地和绿色的田野,这田地窄的不过几码,宽的则赶得上美国伊阿华州的玉米地。田地外边是寸草不生的棕色沙漠,有的地方突然隆起像是小山,有的地方则平平地伸向地平线。公路是顺着尼罗河修筑的,有时穿过庄稼地,有时像是划的一条黑线,这边是庄稼,那边是沙漠。 汉译英 在中国,最重要的节日是农历新年。因为它是依据农历而来,所以大约比阳历新年晚了一个月。传统上,中国新年节庆约持续一个月,但为了不让工作期间中断太久,现在都已缩短为一个星期左右。中国农历年和西方阳历年有些相似之处,譬如像大扫除、全家团圆。所有的债务都要还清,这样新年才有个新开始。与家人、朋友共享盛宴,街
