2013大学英语四级改革题型：翻译习题(1)

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。

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。

2013大学英语四级改革题型：翻译习题(2)

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。

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。

2013大学英语四级改革题型：翻译习题(3)

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。

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...

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

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

2013大学英语四级改革题型：翻译习题(4)

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。

参考翻译及详解

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~

2013大学英语四级改革题型：翻译习题(5)

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。

参考翻译及详解：

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

2013大学英语四级改革题型：翻译习题(6)

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衍生息。

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。1997年7月1日，中华人民共和国恢复对香港行使主权。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。

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 future 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。

2013年12月大学英语四级考试长篇阅读原文 Peer-to-peer rental: The rise of the sharing economy LAST night 40,000 people rented accommodation from a service that offers 250,000 rooms in 30,000 cities in 192 countries. They chose their rooms and paid for everything online. But their beds were provided by private individuals, rather than a hotel chain. Hosts and guests were matched up by Airbnb, a firm based in San Francisco. Since its launch in 2008 more than 4m people have used it—2.5m of them in 2012 alone. It is the most prominent example of a huge new “sharing economy”, in which people rent beds, cars, boats and other assets directly from each other, co-ordinated via the internet. You might think this is no different from running a bed-and-breakfast, owning a timeshare or participating in a car pool. But technology has reduced transaction costs, making sharing assets cheaper and easier than ever—and therefore possible on a much larger scale. The big change is the availability of more data about people and things, which allows physical assets to be disaggregated and consumed as services. Before the internet, renting a surfboard, a power tool or a parking space from someone else was feasible, but was usually more trouble than it was worth. Now websites such as Airbnb, RelayRides and SnapGoods match up owners and renters; smartphones with GPS let people see where the nearest rentable car is parked; social networks provide a way to check up on people and build trust; and online payment systems handle the billing. What…s mine is yo urs, for a fee Just as peer-to-peer businesses like eBay allow anyone to become a retailer, sharing sites let individuals act as an ad hoc taxi service, car-hire firm or boutique hotel as and when it suits them. Just go online or download an app. The model works for items that are expensive to buy and are widely owned by people who do not make full use of them. Bedrooms and cars are the most obvious examples, but you can also rent camping spaces in Sweden, fields in Australia and washing machines in France. As proponents of the sharing economy like to put it, access trumps ownership. Rachel Botsman, the author of a book on the subject, says the consumer peer-to-peer rental market alone is worth $26 billion. Broader definitions of the sharing economy include peer-to- peer lending (though cash is hardly a spare fixed asset) or putting a solar panel on your roof and selling power back to the grid (though that looks a bit like becoming a utility). And it is not just individuals: the web makes it easier for companies to rent out spare offices and idle machines, too. But the core of the sharing economy is people renting things from each other. Such “collaborative consumption” is a good thing for several reasons. Owners make money from underused assets. Airbnb says hosts in San Francisco who rent out their homes do so for an average of 58 nights a year, making $9,300. Car owners who rent their vehicles to others using RelayRides make an average of $250 a month; some make more than $1,000. Renters, meanwhile, pay less than they would if they bought the item themselves, or turned to a traditional provider such as a hotel or car-hire firm. (It is not surprising that many sharing firms got going during the financial crisis.) And there are environmental benefits, too: renting a car when you need it, rather than owning one, means fewer cars are required and fewer resources must be devoted to making them. For sociable souls, meeting new people by staying in their homes is part of the charm. Curmudgeons who imagine that every renter is Norman Bates can still stay at conventional hotels. For others, the web fosters trust. As well as the background checks carried out by platform owners, online reviews and ratings are usually posted by both parties to each transaction, which makes it easy to spot lousy drivers, bathrobe-pilferers and surfboard-wreckers. By using Facebook and other social networks, participants can check each other out and identify friends (or friends of friends) in common. An Airbnb user had her apartment trashed in 2011. But the remarkable thing is how well the system usually works. Peering into the future
