长城被称为中国的奇迹,拥有两千多年的历史。从空中俯瞰,它像一条长龙,从西向东蜿蜒前行,总长约6700公里。从春秋战国时期

(the Spring and Autumn Period andWarring States Period)起,各诸侯国开始修建城墙以保护边境。秦朝建立以后,秦始皇把这些城墙连接起来,成为长城。然而,当时的长城大都已经在战争中损毁,而现存的长城主要是明朝时修建的。长城最初是为了抵抗来自北方的侵略,如今已成为旅游胜地,吸引了来自世界各地的游客。有句谚语:“不到长城非好汉”,足以见证长城的雄伟壮观(grandeur)。

The Great Wall,with a history of more than 2,000years,was regarded as a wonder of China.From abird's-eye view,it is just like a dragon w inding itselffrom west to east,stretching for approximately6,700 kilomet ers.Since the Spring and AutumnPeriod and the Warring States Period,th e walls had been put up to defend the borders by thekingdoms.After the founding of Qin Dynasty,

Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined together tomake "The Great W all".While most of the walls were ruined in wars,the majority of the

GreatWall we see today was mainly built during Ming Dynasty.The Gre at Wall,originally built to resistthe invasion from the North,now has become a well-known place of interest,attracting touristsfrom all ove r the world.As a saying goes,"He who has never been to the Great W all is not a trueman",which is evidence of its grandeur.

一档在国内异常火爆的电视比赛节目,引发了不少人的焦虑——大家书写汉字的能力正在不断衰退。

电脑和智能手机的迅速发展和普及,致使很多年轻人都拿起了笔却写不来字。若不借助电子产品的提醒,不少人连常用的那一万多个汉字都会想不起该怎么写。

复杂的汉字书写体系是中国古代文化遗留下来的瑰宝,而这一体系正不可避免地面临着退化的命运。

A televised contest that has become hugely popular in China has led to nationwide hand-wringing over the population’s increasing inability to write Chinese characters.

The rapid rise of computers and smartphones has left most young people barely able to write by hand, with many unable to recall the estimated 10,000 characters used in daily life without an electronic prompt.

The country’s complex writing system, a highly prized treasure of its ancient culture, is entering an inexorable decline.

很难想象我们的先辈们没有现代技术带来的这么多方便那日子是怎么过的。那个时候只有一小部分人享受一些舒适条件。大部分人连饭都吃不饱,更不要说接受教育的特权了。然而,许多人责怪现代技术,说它带来了很多问题。他们想减慢进步的速度。但是谁也不能阻止时代的前进。我们能做的是技术向哪个方向发展做出明智的决定。 Translation 2 武汉由长江、汉水分为三镇,因而亦被称为“江城”。武汉历史悠久,早在新石器时代(the Neolithic Age)这里就有人聚居和建筑城池。明清年间,汉口已是全国闻名的商埠,为当时中国的四大名镇之一。在中国近代史上,武汉作为民主革命的发祥地,写下了光辉的篇章。武汉具有优越的地理环境,有“九省通衢”之称。 Translation 3 汽车在二十世纪改变了世界,尤其是在美国和其他工业国家。汽车确实对我们大有用处,但也带来了一些危害,比如声音污染、空气污染以及公路死亡事故。据报道汽车事故被列为全世界导致死伤的主要原因之一。可庆幸的是,现代发明家门正在重新发明汽车。新的推进系统(propulsion system)、燃料、设计以及制造汽车的手段在过去的十年中得到迅速发展。例如,通过使用卫星辅助的全球定位系统,汽车里的计算机能给汽车精确定位;随着遥感器(sensor)的应用,智能汽车能排除不少汽车事故。 Translation 4 亨利教授的论文使我深受启发。他认为,在一个多元化社会里,不同意见是不可避免的。关键在于怎样正确对待不同意见,使之发挥建设性、而非破坏性的作用。他还说,在一个多元化社会里,我们必须注重人际关系,强调合作,多从他人视角考虑问题。如果某些群体自视高人一等,不尊重其他种族或宗教,那么整个社会有可能陷入瘫痪。我相信,要是我们把上述想法付诸实践,那我们就有可能创造出一种新的文明。 Translation 5 从前,我们以为技术发展会使我们的生活变得更安逸。那时我们觉得机器会替代我们工作,我们则有越来越多的时间休闲娱乐。但技术发展没有把我们解放出来,而是使我们成为奴隶。新技术纷至沓来,令人目不暇接。而每一项新发明问世,就进一步吞噬我们的光阴。比如,汽车曾使我们希望个人出行会方便得让人难以想象。可如今,城市车辆运行得比马车时代还要慢,我们因交通堵塞而困在车内,徒然浪费生命。在大多数情况下,技术发展并未节省时间,而是使我们得以做更多的事。 Translation 6 工业革命前,人们居住在交通联系不方便得小社区里。在本村范围内,人们自然而然地期望了解该了解的一切,见到该见的一切,做该做的一切。如今,生性好奇的我们仍试图这么做。然而,地球村是一个有着无限可能的世界,我们永远无法实现自己的目标。我们需要的不是更多的时间:我们需要的是更少的欲望。我们需要关掉手机,让孩子们自己玩耍。我们需要少购物,少阅读,少出游。我们需要给自己设定界限,不然注定会越来越感到绝望。 Translation 7 无疑,我们现在处于持续的压力之下,要长时间工作,要创造更多,拥有更多,从而成为一名成功人士。于是乎,工作狂(workaholism)——一种现代癖(addiction),就这样出现了。工作狂其根源是基于这样一种认识:通过长时间地工作、完成更多的项目,我们便能提高我们的自身价值。 许多妇女今天感到同样的压力,要创造,要出人头地,而与此同时,又要养育子女,承担起各种家庭责任。 研究表明,工作狂往往使我们与家人的关系疏远。它会迫使我们长时间地劳作,仅留微乎其微的时间与我们所爱的人聚在一起、交流感情。家庭成员间的亲密关系在此过程中注定要消亡。 Translation 8 日本是世界上最节能的国家之一,但近年来企业和家庭的温室气体排放量不断增长,这一状况促使政府采取措施提高民众对全球变暖问题的关注。气候变化将为七月初在日本召开的八国峰会的主要议题。日本家庭的能耗量一直低于美国和欧洲,但近年来却急剧增长,1990年至2005年间就增长了44%。日本政府于本周二发布的一份报告称,国民缩短洗澡时间有助于减少日本不断增长的能源消耗量及温室气体的排放。

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

大学英语四级考试翻译的答题要点

大学英语四级考试翻译的答题要点 翻译作为语言听、说、读、写、译五大能力之一,新大纲就六级阶段的要求提出,学生应“能借助词典将难度略低于课文的英语短文译成汉语,理解正确、译文达意,译速为每小时350个英语单词。能借助词典将内容熟悉的汉语文字材料译成英语,译文达意,无重大语言错误,译速为每小时300个汉字。”英译汉是 1996年大学英语考试委员会公布的第一批新题型中的一类,属主观题,该题型从属于阅读理解部分,从阅读理解的四篇短文中选取5个片断,大部分是一个较长、较复杂的句子,但有时也有2-3个句子组成的一个段落或片断。要求考生在15分钟内将该5题译成汉语,占分10%,每题2分。根据指令提示,翻译时还可回到前面参阅所译句子的有关上下文。 两种语言的对译讲究的是“信、达、雅”,这是翻译题评分的基本原则。“信”即忠实于原文;“达”即达意,即译文与原文的语义上的一致或等同,这是评分的重要原则,考生是否理解了原文,是否忠实于原文,都要根据译文的内容来作评判,所以“达”是根本。考试意义上的翻译对“雅”的要求不同于文学翻译,要求并不太高,只是译文应通顺流畅,符合译文语言的表达习惯。 一、英译汉样题、参考答案及评分标准 英译汉题型有详细、具体的评分标准,每道题的2分被统一细化为四个0.5分,三个0.5用以判给题中的三个语言点,即每题就语言而言有三个得分点,一个0.5分判给整句译文的语言结构是否通顺流畅、符合汉语习惯。 二、答题要点与真题解析 英译汉必须以理解原文为前提,而短文中句子或段落片段的翻译还必须基于对原文上下文的理解,所以英译汉试题解题的第一要点是: 正确理解短文,精确理解所译部分,准确分析该部分的句法结构和表意逻辑关系。要将一道英译汉题做好,必须精确地理解所需翻译的那部分句子,而精确的理解必须以正确理解短文为前提,有时还须准确地对有关句子的结构作语法分析,同时,还必须理清该部分在语意方面有几个层次及各层次间的先后关系。 在准确理解原文后,要注意正确、恰当地用汉语将原文各层次的语意以与原来相同的先后关系表达出来,这又需要了解一些译文处理技巧,要不然,在英语的影响下,你的译文形似汉语,读起来仍“洋味十足”。所以解答汉译英的第二要点是: 学会用符合习惯的标准汉语表述原文。几种在翻译中经常用到的避免英式汉语的方法是: (1)拆译法。选作英译汉试题的英语句子通常都较复杂,往往从句套从句,翻成译语要把这些从句拆开,翻成一句句相对独立的汉语句子——这么做使理清各语意层次的先后关系显得非常重要。 (2)合译法。英语中定语从句、同位语从句及用作定语的介词短语、分词短语和不定短语常后置在名词中心词之后,翻译时有时需要将这些后置修饰语合并到名词中心词的前置定语之中。 (3)重组法。英语句子结构越复杂,与以短句为特点的汉语表达习惯的差距越大,这时需要采用重组概念,改变一种角度,对原文各层次的语意进行重组,以恰到好处、通顺地道的汉语正确表达原文的信息。 根据英译汉评分标准,每道题有四个得分点,所以在英译汉答题时,还要注意第三点: 分析原文各题的得分点,重点理解,重点表达。从样题及历年英译汉真题实例中,我们发现,得分点一般都是一些特定的短语、句式或与短文要点密切相关的重要词语。对于原文中的这些语言点,考生必须结合上下文反复琢磨,求得理解上的准确,而后通过上面介绍的几种翻译处理技巧,恰当地将它们用汉语表达出来。 以下是英译汉真题实例解析。

中国城市化(urbanization)将会充分释放潜在内需(domestic demand)。一些经济学家指出,在中国几乎所有的发展中城市都面临着城市化的进程。这使得许多人的生活水平有所提高,也为人们提供更多的就业机会。随着越来越多的人向城市迁徙,住房及城市基础设施建设(infrastructure construction),包括水源等能源的供应将会成为城市发展的焦点问题。商品与服务的自由、快速流通是城市化社会的一项基本特征。逐渐扩张的城市需要更多的零售店来满足消费者的需求。 China’s urbanization will release the full potential of domestic demand. Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country. It will lead to a better quality of life for many people,and provide individuals with more job opportunities. The construction of housing and city infrastructure, including water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban development as more people migrate to cities. Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city. But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation. The fast, free flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society. Expanding cities require more retail outlets to serve customers. 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(courtyard complex),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。 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. Life in hutongs, therefore, is full of friendliness and genuine humanity. With social and economic developing rapidly nowadays, many hutongs are replaced by new tall buildings. It is our hope that hutongs can be preserved. 许多人喜欢中餐。在中国,烹饪不仅被视为一种技能,而且也被视为一种艺术。精心准备的中餐既可口又好看。烹饪技艺和配料在中国各地差别很大。但好的烹饪都有一个共同点,总是要考虑到颜色、味道、口感和营养(nutrition)。由于食物对健康至关重要,好的厨师总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜之间取得平衡,所以中餐既味美又健康。 Many people like Chinese food. In China, cooking is not only regarded as a skill but also an art. The well/carefully-prepared Chinese food is tasty and good-looking. The way of cooking and ingredients vary greatly across China. However, good cooking has one thing in common, that is, to always concern colors, smell, tastes and nutrition.

翻译段落 ㈠原文: 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

英语四级翻译三大显著特点分析

英语四级翻译三大显著特点分析 改革后的四六级翻译,让人吐槽叫人无奈,考生很多单词不会写, 但也不能空着, 到后面就自己创造单词,那么如何备战英语四六级翻译,"大换血"后的翻译又具有哪些特点呢? 首先、翻译内容多为中国文化传统。比如13年12月真题中就出现:中国结、手工 艺人、团聚、祈求好运、辟邪、帝王、瑰宝、中国园林、园林景观、皇室成员、微缩景观、假山、山水画卷、造纸、火药、福、和、指南针、印刷术、瓷器等等,看似很难很难无从下手,但其实只有:中国结、帝王、中国园林、造纸、火药、福、和、指南针、印刷术、瓷器这些的翻译比较固定,而其他的词或短语则可以灵活地变通。比如"皇室成员" 不是只有the royal family这样高大上的翻译,也可以译为:the emperor's family, 或者the king's family。当然要想灵活自如,备战过程中背诵积累是必不可缺的。 其次、四六级翻译的特点在于重复性。因为是介绍性的文章,而且内容关于中国传统 文化,一些表达不可避免的会反复出现,比如:"在古代,人们用它来······,但现在主要 是用于装饰的目的"、"在中文里意味着爱情丶婚姻和团聚"、"······常常作为礼物交换或作用饰品祈求好运和辟邪"、"······在中国各地差别很大"、"相传,中国的······于五千年前发现了······,在明清期间,遍布全国,在六世纪传到······"。这些句子具有重复出现的特点,介绍中国各种传统习俗都频繁用到。所以我们可以把这些表达的英文变成模板句子进行背诵。 最后,英译中灵活性很大,小说诗歌等翻译也很灵活。但是四六级考的是中译英,特 别是介绍性文章,有它固定的技巧,比如切分句子,添加主语,主语为"我们\人们"直接变 被动,定语的三类翻译方法,四六级翻译不求"雅",抓住这些基本的技巧,做到"信" 和"达"是可以笑傲考场。

一、中国龙 对龙图腾他的崇拜在中国大约已绵延了八千多年。中国龙是古人将鱼、蛇、马、牛等动物与云雾、雷电等自然天象集合而成的一种神物。中国龙的形成与中华民族的多元融合过程同步。在中国人的心目中,龙具有振奋腾飞、开拓变化的寓意和团结凝聚的精神。 译文 Chinese Dragon Dragon totem worship in China has been around for the last 8,000 years. The ancients in China considered the dragon (or loong) a fetish that combines animals including the fish, snake, horse and ox with cloud, thunder, lightning and other natural celestial phenomena. The Chinese dragon was formed in accordance with the multicultural fusion process of the Chinese nation. To the Chinese, the dragon signifies innovation and cohesion. 二、秧歌 多彩的表演服装,他们的表演动作有力迅速。在农历春节、元宵节等节日期间,人们一旦听到锣鼓声,不管外面天气有多冷,他们都会蜂拥到街上看秧歌舞表演。近年来,中国东北某些城市的老年人自发组织了了秧歌队,队员常年通过跳秧歌舞来保持健康,同事他们也乐在其中。 Yangko is one of tradition folk dance of Han in China.It is usually performed in northern provinces. The dancers usually wear colorful and light

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.

You would not have failed if___(按照我的指令去做) 【参考答案】you had followed my instructions 或者you had followed my orders 。【权威解析】本题较为容易,属于识记型题目。考点有三个:第一是按照所给出的汉语提示,由于主句和从句的主语是一致的,因此在做答案的时候应该在从句中补全主语you,很多学生出现遗漏,就按照汉语意思直译了,造成不必要的失分;第二是固定搭配“按照。。。的指令”表达为follow my instructions 或者是follow my orders 注意多样化的表达,两者选其一就可以;第三个考点是if从句的虚拟语气考查;根据语法规定,如果主句中出现would have的形式,从句中应该采用had 过去分词的结构;综上,很容易得出答案you had followed my instructions 。 88. Despite the hardship he encountered, Mark never ___(放弃对知识的追求) 【参考答案】abandoned the pursuit of knowledge。 【权威解析】本题的考点主要有两个:首先根据句子的已知部分判断,需要填写的部分应该采用过去时,这一点大家一定要注意;其次,考查固定搭配,1)“放弃做某事”abandon sth;“知识的追求’的表达是the pursuit of knowledge ”,综上,得出正确答案。在句子的已知部分,encounter the hardship也是非常重要的固定搭配,意思为“遇到困难”。 89. Scientists agree that it will be a long time before____(我们找到治愈癌症的方法) 【参考答案】we find the cure for cancer。 【权威解析】首先根据句子的已知部分,可以判断出填写的部分用一般现在时;其次,要注意汉语提示部分是“治愈”而不是“治疗”,因此要用cure 而不能用treat,这就提醒我们学习单词的时候一定要注意细节,否则用错了,分数就丢掉

2012级学生课堂翻译材料汇总(2014.3—2014.7) 段落翻译1 越来越多受英文教育的海外华人父母,已经认识到孩子在掌握不可或缺的英文的同时,也通晓中文的重要性。//中国的崛起,让他们充分认识到孩子掌握双语的好处——既能增加他们的就业机会,也能让他们接触和熟悉东西方两种不同的文化。//这些人对中文的态度几乎没有完全改变。//曾几何时,他们还非常骄傲地宣称自己只懂英文。//现在,他们已开始积极支持孩子学习中文和中国文化,而且还不时走访中国,欣赏壮观的自然风光,认识丰富的文化遗产。 参考译文 An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kids have a good command of Chinese. //China’s rise has fully awakene d their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit from their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West.// They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese. //At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only. //Now, they have begun to give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China, where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage. 解析 本段是一篇文化类介绍文章。总体难度一般,以句号结束的句子即可作为一个意群,考生基本不用自行判断、划分。文中的长句可使用中国考生特别熟悉的从句进行翻译,如第一句的“已经认识到……的同时,也通晓中文的重要性”,就可以用从属连词while 连接,第一段的最后一句“掌握双语的好处……”由which引导的定语从句也可迎刃而解。当然,要翻译好本段,选词很重要。如第一句中“越来越多的华人父母认识到……”,如果你和大多数人一样,翻译成“more and more parents…”就显得很普通,而“an increasing number of…”则地道很多;又如第一段最后一句“既能增加他们的就业机会,也能让他们接触和熟悉东西方两种不同的文化。”例文用了“enhance”和“facilitate”两个词,富于变化;文中许多考生容易使用副词的地方,译者都巧妙地运用形容词来替代,如将“积极支持”译为“give full support to”,将“不时走访”译为“make occasional visits”,读来原汁原味,彰显了译者扎实的翻译功底。 段落翻译2 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。 参考译文
