中国的四大发明包括指南针、火药、造纸术和印刷术,它们是中国在人类文明史上占有重要地位的标志之一。第一个指南针产生于战国时期(the Warring States Period),是利用天然磁石(natural magnet)来辨别方向的一种简单仪器。火药发明于隋唐时期,主要应用于军事领域,造纸术于东汉年间由蔡伦改进,使纸成为人们普遍使用的书写材料。印刷术,又称活字印刷术,大大促进了文化的传播。四大发明对世界经济的发展和人类文化的进步做出了巨大的贡献。

其实看看凯程考研怎么样,最简单的一个办法,看看他们有没有成功的学生,最直观的办法是到凯程网站,上面有大量学员经验谈视频,这些都是凯程扎扎实实的辅导案例,其他机构网站几乎没有考上学生的视频,这就是凯程和其他机构的优势,凯程是扎实辅导、严格管理、规范教学取得如此优秀的成绩。

辨别凯程和其他机构谁靠谱的办法。

第一招:看经验谈视频,凯程网站有经验谈视频,其他机构没有。

第二招:看有没有讲义。凯程有课程讲义,其他机构几乎没有,或者没有现成的讲义,说明他们没有辅导历史。

第三招:问问该专业今年辅导多少人。如果就招1-2个学生,那就无法请最好的老师,凯程大多数专业都是小班授课,招生人数多,自然请的老师质量高,授课量大,学习更加扎实。并且凯程和这些学校的老师联系更加紧密。

第四招:看集训营场地正规不正规。有些机构找个写字楼,临时租个宾馆,学习没有气氛,必须是正规教学楼、宿舍楼、操场、食堂,凯程就是正规教学楼、宿舍楼、食堂、操场等,配备空调、暖气、热水器、独立卫浴等。在凯程网站有大量集训营环境的照片,每个学员对我们的集训营学习气氛满意度超高。其他机构很多遮遮掩掩不提供,那就是集训营环境不行。第五招:实地考察看看。

凯程在金融硕士、会计硕士、法硕、中传、教育学、教育硕士、财科所等名校名专业考研取得的成绩。对该专业有辅导历史:必须对该专业深刻理解,才能深入辅导学员考取该校。在考研辅导班中,从来见过如此辉煌的成绩:凯程在2016年考研中,清华五道口金融学院考取13人(前五名都是凯程学员),清华经管6人,北大经院金融硕士8人,人大和贸大各15人,中财金融硕士10人,复旦上交上财等名校18人,法学方面,凯程在人大、北大、贸大、政法、武汉大学、公安大学等院校斩获多个法学和法硕状元,会计硕士、中传、中戏、经济学等专业更是成绩突出,更多专业成绩请查看凯程网站。在凯程官方网站的光荣榜,成

功学员经验谈视频特别多,都是凯程战绩的最好证明。对于如此高的成绩,凯程集训营班主任邢老师说,凯程如此优异的成绩,是与我们凯程严格的管理,全方位的辅导是分不开的,很多学生本科都不是名校,某些学生来自二本三本甚至不知名的院校,还有很多是工作了多年才回来考的,大多数是跨专业考研,他们的难度大,竞争激烈,没有严格的训练和同学们的刻苦学习,是很难达到优异的成绩。最好的办法是直接和凯程老师详细沟通一下就清楚了。

2018考研英语:教你更好地理解翻译中的原文

2018考研英语:教你更好地理解翻译中的原文 (1)搞清句子结构,辨别主语和谓语。抓住了句子的主干,各部分之间的从属关系也就看得比较清楚,有益于从整体把握句子。 (2)理解虚拟语气。虚拟语气是英语特有的一种表达方式。它包括对现在、未来、过去的假设,在英语中有多种表现,译成汉语时一定要弄清它的对象和范围,尽量把虚拟的意思传达出来。 (3)搞清楚关系。句中如果有代词,应根据上下文找出其所指代的内容,并将其准确地翻译出来。 (4)明白否定的方式。英语思维的特点也表现在它对否定式的用法上,中国读者往往容易在这里产生错误。例如 All that glitters is not gold.(发光的未必都是金子)在这里是以全部否定的形式来表达部分否定的事实。英语也用双重否定表示肯定,这种现象英语中常见,汉语中并不常见,翻译时需要多加注意。 (5)一词多义。一词多义是很常见的现象。判断词义一定要根据上下文确定其具体的义,不能因为是过去认识的词便不加深究,便草率地按以前的理解翻译而产生错误。如Don’t worry about preparations for this year’s July Fourth parade. Everything is in apple pie order。(别担心今年国庆日游行的准备事宜,样样东西都弄妥当了)如按通常的理解以为apple是“苹果”的意思,就出错了。 (6)注意英国英语和美国英语的不同。英美语言之间有很多差异,比如 英国英语中continent指欧洲大陆,而在美语中,continent却指美洲大陆 又如 英语中homely是“家常的、朴素的”的意思,并无贬义,在美语中却是“不漂亮的”。所以翻译时一定要搞清文章是英语作者还是美国作者写的。 (7)成语。成语具有约定俗成的特点,属于语言中较难理解的部分。英语的某些成语具有形象思维的特点,可以和汉语相吻合,比如 Strike the iron as it is hot.(趁热打铁)但有一个成语的含义与我们的理解大相径庭,如 Claw me and I will claw thee.(互相吹捧)所以翻译时一定要小心。 (8)语意的褒贬与轻重。翻译时还要注意词语的感情色彩,即它是褒、是贬,还是中性。这种感情色彩往往表明了作者的主观态度,好恶与爱憎。把握住它对于正确、传神的翻译是非常必要的。有时单凭个别词是难以判断的,还要根据上下文来判断,因为为达到讽刺的目的,作者可能正话反说或反话正说。 (9)注意文章的语体色彩。如果是专业文章,那么术语一定很多,叙述也较客观,少有个人色彩,翻译时应多选用正式的词语。如果是一般的叙述,则可能日常用语较多,小词和短语较多。翻译时也要注意这一点,以此来确定词语的选择。 (10)留心文化背景。中西文化的差异非常明显。比如,中国的亲戚划分非常仔细,而英

2018年考研英语冲刺翻译训练的三个步骤

2018年考研英语冲刺:翻译训练的三个步骤 新东方在线推荐: 总的来说,翻译句子的方法分为三个步骤:分析句子结构--准确判断词义--重组翻译。 今天我们就以2005年的第一句话为例,来看看这三步应该如何分析。 【例句】Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed and perhaps never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe. (一)分析句子结构 通读这句话,我们会发现这是个由and连接的两个并列句。这时就需要我们分别分析and前后的两个分句。 and之前的一句话:Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed. 其主语是television,谓语是be动词is,宾语是one of the means,其后还有by which引导的定语从句修饰先行 词one of the means. 这句话的结构比较简单。 and之后的一句话:perhaps never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe. 这句话由于否定副词never before置于句首引起部分倒装,所以应该首先将其还原为正常语序:It perhaps has never served so much... to connect different peoples and nations是不定式结构做目的状语。as in the recent events in Europe是as引导的比较状语从句,这里也省略了主句提到的内容,补充完整是as it has served to connect different peoples and nations in the recent events in Europe.这句话的结构较前一句话相对复杂。 (二)判断词义 【means】作为名词,表示方式,途径 【these feelings】指示代词,指代前面(非划线部分)的skepticism and optimism。所以feelings这里应译为情绪或感受,而不是感情。 【create】引发 【convey】传达 【it】代词,需要找到它所指代的名词,television 【serve so much】serve这里不是大家熟悉的意思服务,应该意译为发挥很大的作用 【peoples】复数形式,表示民族

考研英语一翻译真题解析

2017考研英语一翻译真题解析 跨考教育英语教研室—王坤2017年考研英语一的翻译题型部分,整体来说难度不大,与2016年难度基本持平,考察的是英语语言发展情况,文章选自英国文化教育协会的一本书,叫《英语下一步》。英语一的考题是此书的序言部分。下面就是跨考英语教研室的英语老师对2017年考研英语一翻译真题的最新解析和参考译文。 (46)But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future. 参考译文:但是,尽管使用英语者的人数在不断增加/说英语的人越来越多,却仍然有迹象表明,英语语言的全球主导地位在不久的将来/可预见的未来也许会慢慢衰退。 句子解析:本句很简单,主句是there be 结构,主句前是让步状语,signs 后面是that引导的同位语从句,对signs进行进一步的补充说明。同位语从句中是主谓结构,the global predominance of the language 是主语,may fade 是谓语,within结构是时间状语。expands的词义不应该选择常用的“扩展”意思,而应该结合前面和它搭配的number,而选择“增加”的意思。 (47)His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generation of the United Kingdom do not need additional language capabilities.

1、1994年 Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. According to the new school of scientists, technology is an overlooked force in expanding the horizons of scientific knowledge. (71) Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and tools. (72) "In short" , a leader of the new school contends, "the scientific revolution, as we call it, was largely the improvement and invention and use of a series of instruments that expanded the reach of science in innumerable directions. " (73)Over the years, tools and technology themselves as a source of fundamental innovation have largely been ignored by historians and philosophers of science. The modern school that hails technology algues that such masters as Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and inventors such as Edison attached great importance to, and derived great benefit from, craft information and technological devices of different kinds that were usable in scientific experiments. The centerpiece of the argument of a technology-yes , genius-no advocate was an analysis of Galileo' s role at the start of the scientific revolution. The wisdom of the day was derived from Ptolemy, an astronomer of the second century, whose elaborate system of the sky put Earth at the center of all heavenly motions. (74)Galileo' s greatest glory was that in 1609 he was the first person to turn the newly invented telescope on the heavens to prove that the planets revolve around the sun rather than around the Earth. But the real hero of the story, according to the new school of scientists, was the long evolution in the improvement of machinery for making eyeglasses . Federal policy is necessarily involved in the technology vs. genius dispute. (75)Whether the Government should increase the financing of pure science at the expense of technology or vice versa (反之) often depends on the issue of which is seen as the driving force. 精美译文 新学派的科学家认为,技术是扩大科学知识的范围中被忽视的力量。(71)他们说,科学的发展与其说源于天才伟人的真知灼识,不如说源于改进了的技术和工具等等更为普通的东西。(72)新学派的一位领袖人物坚持说:“简言之,我们所称谓的科学革命,主要是指一系列器具的改进、发明和使用,这些改进、发明和使用使科学发展的范围无所不及。 (73)工具和技术本身作为根本性创新的源泉多年来在很大程度上被科学史学家和科学思想家们忽视了。为技术而欢呼的现代学派争辩说,像伽利略、牛顿、麦克斯威尔、爱因斯坦这样的科学大师和像爱迪生这样的发明家十分重视科学实验中能使用的各种不同的工艺信息和技术装置并从中受益匪浅。 鼓吹技术第一、天才第二的论据的核心是分析了科学革命初期伽利略的作用。那时的聪明才智取自第二世纪的天文学家托勒密;了精心创立的太空体系把地球置于所有天体运动的中心。(74)伽利略的最光辉的业绩在于他在1609年第一个把新发明的望远镜对准天空,

2010.02 College English 研英语翻译部分是一篇400字左右组成的文章,其中包含5个划线句子,要求30分钟内准确、完整、通顺地译为汉语。作为限时完成的测试科目,考研英语翻译难度较大,众多非英语专业考生普遍感到头疼。本文通过对近十几年来考研英译汉 真题的分析,根据其特点提出了一些解题技巧。 1.试题特点 考研英语翻译的短文内容大多涉及社会生活、政治、经济、文化等题材,且体裁基本上都是议论文。通过对最近十几年来考研英语翻译的真题分析,笔者从英汉两种语言对比的角度概括了三大特点。 1.1英语重形合句子结构严谨 英语句子以形连表意连,重句法结构,主语十分重要,理解时要抓住主谓关系,否则很难理解。尤其复合句,一定要看清主句和各分句的主谓结构。 1.2英语多被动结构 英语中被动句比汉语多,尤其是科技英语。从最近十几年的考研英译汉真题中笔者发现被动结构的出现频率相当高,2002年的 5个句子中全都出现了被动结构。 1.3英语多从句,句子长且结构复杂 英语通过一整套系统语法结构组合成句子,还可通过增加限制成分、修饰语以及补充成分使句子变长、变复杂。考研英语翻译题几乎都是长而复杂的句子。 2.考生在解题中的问题 笔者通过问卷调查分析,发现考生在解题时主要有以下几个方面的问题:英语基本功不扎实,理解不透;缺乏基本翻译常识,不 懂翻译技巧;中文表达能力不强,意思表达不清。在英译汉过程中,理解与表达互相联系,理解是表达的前提,表达是理解的结果。因此可将存在的问题归为理解、表达。 2.1理解问题 翻译的第一阶段是理解,理解是最关键、基本的环节。考研英语试题句子结构都比较复杂,且很多修饰短语穿插于主要结构之间,有时还有省略,代词指代关系模糊,加之文章所谈主题、语境、语篇等因素,都会对理解造成巨大障碍。但在以上所提的诸多因素中,句子结构应是主要矛盾。 2.2表达问题 表达是指在正确理解原文的基础上,准确而通顺地再现原文思想内容。表达过程实际上是语言加工过程。理解是表达的基础,表达是理解的结果。但是对原文的正确理解并不意味着一定会有正确的表达。译文既要符合原文所表达的思想,又要求符合汉语的行文规范,还要重视语境,注意逻辑,避免文理不通,搭配不当,使译文生涩难懂。 3.考研英语翻译技巧 下面引用历年真题,介绍一些基本的翻译技巧,使考生能看得懂,学得会,用得上。 3.1定语从句的翻译 考研英语翻译解析 浙江师范大学外国语学院 赖慧云 考 笤考试专栏笤 60

历年考研英语翻译真题

1996年英译汉试题 (1)Some of these causes are completely reasonable results of social needs. Others are reasonable consequences of particular advances in science being to some extent self-accelerating. (2)This trend began during the Second World War, when several governments came to the conclusion that the specific demands that a government wants to make of its scientific establishment cannot generally be foreseen in detail. (3)This seems mostly effectively done by supporting a certain amount of research not related to immediate goals but of possible consequence in the future. (4)However, the world is so made that elegant systems are in principle unable to deal with some of the world's more fascinating and delightful aspects. (5)New forms of thought as well as new subjects for thought must arise in the future as they have in the past, giving rise to new standards of elegance. 1997年英译汉试题 (6)Actually, it isn't, because it assumes that there is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does not have. (7)Some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a social contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements. (8)It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all. (9)Arguing from the view that humans are different from animals in every relevant respect, extremists of this kind think that animals lie outside the area of moral choice. (10)When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind's instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at. 1998年英译汉试题 (11)But even more important, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past, for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago.
