北京外国语大学英语学院语言学专业高分经验

北外英语学院语言学专业414高分经验曾经得到许多人的帮助，首先要感谢他们无私的支持.我的梦想终于实现了，初试成绩414，复试成绩86。除了高兴以外，更多的是对给与我力量和鼓励的所有人的感谢！我在前人栽的树下乘过凉，现在希望自己也能种上一棵小树，为后来的人带来一片荫凉. 我考的是英语学院的语言学初试：前辈们写过很多有关初试的帖子，如何复习各门功课，每个人都有各自不同的学习方法，最主要的是找到一个适合自己的方法，还有就是要脚踏实地，不能浮躁。在此。我写的也仅仅是我自己的看法，仅供借鉴。基础英语的复习，以前我听人家说经济学家很好，于是我就买来一大堆，天天啃，但是说实话，还真是相当痛苦，而且效果不明显，因为我对经济方面的东西一点都不感兴趣，而且经济学家的经济类词汇量很大，几乎每次阅读的时候都是在锻炼我文曲星上的键盘，那是锻炼我自己啊？！后来我看了几天就放弃了，转而看些别的英文杂志，本人觉得《英语文摘》比较不错，我有订去年一年的《英语文摘》，当然这个月刊肯定是不够摄入量的，另外还会看些《中国日报》，《英语学习》，《21世纪》什么的。《21世纪》比较简单，纯当娱乐了。除了阅读以外，翻译的练习也很重要，我买了张培基的散文，还有八级的翻译题，每天都做一段，然后拿自己的译文跟他们的译文相比较，自己的译文不一定必须跟参考答案的一样，有时候你甚至会发现自己的译文比参考译文更好，当然，自己不如参考译文的地方便是应该学习、提高的地方。另外，我自己还经常温习备考专业八级时候用的八级词汇册，不知道有没有用，就是当个心理安慰，背单词最多还是在阅读的时候，碰到了不认识的就尽量背下来。语言学的复习，我觉得仅仅看参考书目是不够的，不管是谁写的书，如果有时间的话，最好都买来看看，虽然讲的都是入门的知识，但是每本书都会从不同的角度来解释同一个理论或是知识，这样就加深了理解，所以说，不用背的，如果踏踏实实看完5、6本语言学方面的书的话，不记住都难了。当然，有的书跟别的书写的是一模一样的，也搞不清是谁抄了谁的，所以在买书的时候要先好好过滤。日语的复习，基本上是把握住了标准日本语的前三本就够了，我也曾经老老实实地把初级和中级那四本书学完了，但是到复习的时候，我的第四本日语书都不知道被我扔到哪个爪哇国去了。所以学的都是前三本的知识，觉得是够用了的。我用的是旧版的标准日本语，其实新版和旧版的都一样，新版的单词量比较大一点，但是知识点基本上跟旧版的是一样的。另外，我觉得做日语题也是比较重要的，不然学到的知识很容易忘掉。刚开始学的时候，做的是跟标日配套的练习册，到了后期做的是日语二级题。北外历年的日语试题的难度跟国际日语考试的二级水平差不多，这是分析真题得出的结论。所以说真题的利用非常重要，要尽量熟悉真题，在复习的过程中才能有个大致的方向，有时候，学着学着，可能会觉得很茫然，这时候就应该看看真题了。到后期的时候，真题显得更重要了，不管之前是不是已经做过，每年的卷子都要掐时

2020年北京外国语大学英语翻译硕士考研择校分析、参考书、复习规划

2020年北京外国语大学英语翻译硕士考研择校分析、参考书、复习规划北京外国语大学有三个学院招生： 1、高翻（口译） 2、英语学院（笔译和口译）（★口译2016年刚开设） 3、专用英语学院（笔译）（★2016年新开设）这三个学院，初试考的都是一样的，总体北外招生人数扩招了，英语学院新增了英语口译，笔译新开设了专用英语学院。专用英语学院2018年没有招满还有3个调剂名额。北京外国语大学总分走的是国家线，但是对于两门专业课有单独的划线，总分过，同时达到院校单独的划线标准才能进复试，这对于考生的基础要求较高。三所学院划线标准不同。值得注意的是三个学院初试一样，只是复试和课程设置不同，从竞争激烈程度来看依次是高翻，英院和专用英语学院。北外是初试复试都涉及到对于二外考察的院校，对于二外也有单独划线，标注较高，建议没有二外基础或者二外较弱的考生慎考。建议本科重点院校本专业的考生报考。报考数据汇总

复习规划第一阶段（适应期）4月到6月（大三下学期开始） 1. 开始阅读理论书籍，了解简明英语的特点。同时，用三级笔译教材作为练习材料。每天翻译1小时左右，自我总结0.5小时。 2. 开始阅读外刊，如经济学人或金融时报，每天保持1小时阅读时间。这个阶段更多还是培养外刊阅读的习惯。第二阶段（过渡期）7月到9月上旬（大四上学期） 1.利用暑假时间，开始复习之前看过书籍中提及的理论部分，并且回看之前三笔练习中自我总结的部分。 2.做二级笔译教材练习，同时开始尝试北外真题，每两周1次，主要是了解风格，出题特点，暑期完成4套左右即可。 3.整理百科、词条、写作的资料与素材，为下阶段的背诵记忆打好基础。 4.继续保证每天一小时左右的外刊阅读时间。这个阶段需要通过外刊来提升阅读理解能力。新祥旭一对一辅导课程帮你制定完整复习计划。第三阶段（巩固期）9月中旬开始到12月上旬 1.继续完成剩余部分的真题，大约6套左右。每周完成一套，其余时间可以用剩余的二笔教材或真题辅助练习。不要只求量，要多反思，多总结。每天练习2小时，反思1小时左右。 2.针对基础英语的各题型，利用专业八级的辅导书籍，每天完成一定练习，查漏补缺。每天3小时左右。 3.背诵百科、词条、写作素材，同时开始做政治选择题。第四阶段（冲刺期）考前两周左右 1.这个阶段不适合做新题，以复习之前的互译笔译为主，每天可以练一小段翻译，保持手感。 2.对于基础英语这门，也是主要以回顾之前的题目为主，个别弱项可以每天做一些练习。 3.重点背诵百科、词条。写几篇大作文，几篇小作文。并且重点要背诵政治大题。参考书目及看书建议《中式英语之鉴》，Joan Pinkham、姜桂华著，2000，外语教学与研究出版社。《英汉翻译简明教程》，庄绎传著，2002，外语教学与研究出版社《高级英汉翻译理论与实践》，叶子南著，2001，清华大学出版社《非文学翻译理论与实践》，罗进德主编，2004，中国对外翻译出版公司《非文学翻译》，李长栓著，2009，外语教学与研究出版社出版《非文学翻译理论与实践》，李长栓著，中国对外翻译出版公司《汉语写作与百科知识》，李国正主编，天津科技翻译出版有限公司【北外百科知识很少考查自然科技和翻译理论等方面的知识，主要是文学、哲学和时政为主。备考中建议大家有重点方向的去备考。二外参考用书

What could we do for you today?[05:02.16]Mrs. Davies: I want to order some foods.[05:03.86]Shopkeeper: Well, I thought that might be the reason you came here, Mrs. Davies. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.[05:07.25]Mrs. Davies: But I want rather a lot, so you'll have to deliver it. [05:10.75]Shopkeeper: That's perfectly all right. You just order whatever you like and we'll send it straight round to your house this afternoon.[05:17.15]Mrs. Davies: Right. Well, first of all I want two boxes of baked beans. [05:22.06]Shopkeeper: You mean two tins?[]Mrs. Davies: No, I mean two boxes. Two boxes of tins of baked beans.[05:2]Shopkeeper: But each box contains forty-eight tins. Are you really sure you want so many? I mean, it would take a long time to eat so many.[]Mrs. Davies: Who said anything about eating them? I'm saving them. [05:39.70]Shopkeeper: Saving them?[05:40.77]Mrs. Davies: Yes, for the war.[05:42.23]Shopkeeper: War? Are we going to have a war?[05:44.01]Mrs. Davies: You never know. I'm not taking any chances.

I mean not that amount.[06:17.76]Mrs. Davies: How soon can you get them, then?[06:]Shopkeeper: Well, within the next few days. I don't suppose you'll be needing them before then, will you?[06:18.51]Mrs. Davies: You never can tell. It's touch and go. I was watching the nice man on the television last night.[06:25.27]You know, the one with the nice teeth. Lovely smile he's got. [06:29.77]And he said, 'Well, you never can tell.' And that set me thinking, you see. [06:35.30]Anyway, you just deliver them as soon as you can. I shan't be going out again after today. [06:41.02]Now ... now what else? Ah yes, tea and sugar.[06:45.91]I'd better have a couple of boxes of each of those.[06:49.17]No ... no make if four of sugar. I've got a sweet tooth. [06:52.94]Shopkeeper: So two boxes of tea and four boxes of sugar. Anything else? [06:56.75]It doesn't sound a very interesting diet. How about half a dozen boxes of tinned fish? [07:02.08]Mrs. Davies: Fish? No, can't stand fish. Oh, but that reminds me,eight boxes of cat food. [0]Shopkeeper: Cat food?[]Mrs. Davies: Yes. Not for me.

"Vm looking for (my wallet).[07:47.17]I think I lost it in that dark street (down there)," he said.[07:50.82]"Well, if you lost it (in that street), why are you looking for it (here)?" the friend (demanded).[07:55.42]The sailor thought for a moment.

"All you have to do is (avoid bad habits) like (drinking) and (smoking).[08:25.57]But you have to (get up early) every morning, (work) at least (10 hours) a day and (save every) penny, as well," he said.[08:33.27]A young man in (the audience) stood up. "My father did (all those things) and yet he died (a very poor man) at the age of only (39).[08:40.85]How do you (explain that)?" he asked. The millionaire thought (for a moment).
