2016-2017年北京外国语大学英语学院MTI笔译备考经验

今天是4月27号,这个日子有特别的意义,我是去年的今晚想了一夜决定考北外的。今天终于实现这一小心愿~一是总结一年的努力,另一是继续栽树为后人

乘凉。这一年好几位战友、学姐给了我很多帮助,十分感激感恩,特别是去年今日一位二战追梦北外的学姐狠狠地激励了我,她说这个时候一定要有人推你一把,你如果连尝试都不敢去尝试的话,你以后一定会后悔。当时一决定了报考学校就再也没有动摇过,因为是最初的梦想,只有发自内心的梦想甚至说是渴望才能给与自己源源不断的动力。这样无论遇到了什么样的困难,首先想到的都是如何解决,绝不是逃避,逃避是一场永远也跑不赢的比赛。之前有学妹问过我觉得自己心理素质很不好,考不上怎么办,有那么多人落榜失败,我告诉她别人失败只是别人,不代表那会是你,我整个备考过程中从来没想过考不上的事情,只一门心思想着为考上找办法。如果有心态不太好的学弟学妹们,可以去看看周蕴仪

老师的博客《考高翻是小事——与ss的对话》,会豁然开朗的。

当时的大致时间规划是5月——6月过完法语第一遍、百科知识基础的东西第一遍打底、翻译基础每天练一篇、翻译理论每天看一章。但后来这些初期任务其实并没有如期完成,法语到7月底才草草看完第一遍,百科知识到了9月10月还在看基础的书,当时心里也是慌的不行,11月开始觉得每天天都是

灰的。所以大家一定要有一个宏观时间安排,然后有一个细化到每天每时段的安排,时间安排随时、及时调整。我当时和同学互相订立计划表,每周订完表之后都相互提出意见,可以参照下,但记住计划一定要合理,任务一定要严厉执行,

这是我前期的教训啊。当时有段时间没按照计划来,6月前半月和7月前半月基本是什么都没做,后来知识再想捡起来就觉得吃力,因此复习一旦开始就不要停下,因为很多东西一段时间不看会忘掉连贯不起来,情愿每天只看4小时,也不要一段时间一天十几个小时,一段时间什么也不看。另外大家都会顾虑到复习时间的问题,其实我真正进入状态来系统地复习是8月底回学校,之前都是有个基本了解,打打闹闹地复习。8月时候一个跟我同住的学妹还说我根本不像今年要考研的样子,初试分数出来之后她还笑话我8月就成竹在胸。所以一定不要觉得备考时间来不及,北外并没有我们当初想像的那么难,只要心无旁骛地投入,都不晚,之前还有一位12年考的学姐只用了2个月备考~

我的初试分数是政治57,法语71,翻译基础121,汉语写作与百科知识128。下面具体地分科目说说~

政治:

当时备考的时候一直秉承的理念是政治法语过线就好,专业课拼命考高,但其实在政治上也费了不少劲。我的政治是从10月中下旬开始看的,开始看的书是红宝书《思想政治理论考试大纲解析》,后来觉得《命题人知识点精讲精练》讲的很透彻,而且还跟《命题人1000题》方便对照,就也买来同时看。

当时是每晚看法语和政治,大概分配到的时间每天也就两个钟头。后来为了加强巩固,几个同学在网上找了政治视频,转码成音频每天吃饭、走路、睡觉前听,

这样听下来挺快,也帮助理解。做题除了1000题,还在手机上下载了app猿题库,后期做了肖秀荣的8套卷、4套卷。当时为了抓清脉络,买了一本挺好的

书,是徐之明的红宝书逻辑图解,不过因为时间关系,没怎么用得上。我看红宝书的时候觉得政治太有意思了,比中学政治书本里讲得透彻清楚客观的多,看到邓小平和毛主席的雄才伟略我还会大大感叹,不过后来分数一贯继承了自己政治从来就没好过的传统。

法语:

北外的翻译硕士法语和二外法语是一样的。都是35道单选,每题1分;15道完形填空,也是每题1分;阅读2篇,每篇5道题,每题2分;翻译句子汉译法5个,每个3分;段落翻译法译汉,15分。

我用的资料很简单,就是孙辉的《简明法语教程》上下册58课。之前

在学校里用的是吴贤良的《新公共法语》,学了初级教程一本远远不够,而且这本书很不容易自学。大三下学期还大致看过薛建成那本《大学法语简明教程》,

共30课,有练习册,但比较起来还是孙辉的这本最对北外的风格。我5月到7月底三个月断断续续地看完了第一遍,练习没做,学得很不牢靠,语法漏洞多,句子说不完整。后来7月底去上了一个新祥旭五天的法语暑期小班,上课的张老师讲得特别棒,我找到很多问题,整个语法脉络疏通了。之后9月中旬到11月中旬才又把法语两本58课仔仔细细做了第二遍,特别是第一本每篇都熟读到背诵。后期做真题,前面客观题70分基本可以不出错,所以还是秉承专业课优先的原则,我就再没花什么时间。30分的翻译,除了简法上的句子翻译我也没练习过,所以分数一般。大家要想多考点分数,15分的句子翻译还是可以研究研

究的,因为每年句子类型、个别词汇都会有重复。有的前辈推荐要做《大学法语考研必备》、《法语二外考前冲刺》,我自己确实没有时间做,而且个人认为有

的题目相比于北外的还挺难。另外法语词汇量一定要足够,我是孙辉两本书58

课词汇包括课后阅读的词汇都记了。

翻译基础:

翻译基础先是30道短语互译,英译汉汉译英各15道,共计30分;段落英译汉汉译英分别1段,每段60分。

说到词汇互译,我虽然记过很多词条——《中国日报的最新汉英特色词汇词典》、历年政府工作报告、整理版的财经科技词汇100多页、中国日报手机报、还有

英语点津上的新词热词,但是!后来发现背的东西基本没怎么考到过。我后来考完总结,觉得这个主要靠平时不经意的积累,考研断不能闭门造车不闻窗外事。

比如今年考的Bogor Goals茂物目标、FTAAP亚太自由贸易协定、互联互通interconnectivity都是APEC会议相关的,负面清单negative list也是关于自贸区的,ALS渐冻人症就是今年很火的冰桶挑战赛呼吁关注的,bitcoin比特币是13年就开始热起来的网上虚拟货币,前几天4月2号是国

际自闭症日autism,“星星的孩子”自闭症儿童……另外初试考到了地沟油,我

当时写的是illegal cooking oil,复试视译部分又考到了,他用的表达法是swill-cooked dirty oil。

段落翻译就只有踏实地练习,无他法。初期备考的时候我看了叶子南

老师的《高级英汉翻译理论与实践》,这本书理论讲的特别好。这本书看了之后

很清楚地知道翻译究竟是什么,目的是什么。它除了理论之外还有12篇练习,

都有学生译文和老师批改,参考译文特别精彩,有时候看了会不自觉拍案称赞!由此我也开始特别喜欢叶子南老师的书,他的译文完全是为表达同一意思的中文再创作,看了是一种享受。还用到过庄绎传老师的小绿本《英汉翻译简明教程》,

这本书比较基础,很适合最开始用。另外英翻汉看了Pinkham的《中式英语之鉴》,这本书针对汉语“对应”的冗杂翻译提出了很好的修改意见,北外往年喜

欢考政论文体的翻译,就很需要看看这本书。后期因为喜欢李长栓老师的书,练

了一本《理解与表达·汉英翻译案例讲评》,同样有学生译文,有老师批改,有翻译过程讲析,有参考译文,这本书是大爱!我每天花30分钟练一段英译汉300字,30分钟一段汉译英300字,但纠错、批改、对照、分析、重译都要用上三

四个小时。每天的翻译不断,不然手会生,后来练多了还总结出了自己翻译的套路和规则,当然每个人不一样。另外北外的段落翻译真题需要好好研究,真题不能仅仅练过就好,真题用来分析,我自己真题练过两遍以上。翻译不求多,只求精,宁肯一篇译十遍,也不要十篇译一遍。

虽然翻译分数最后出来有121,但是因为今年翻译分数普遍比去年高

15-20分,所以我也很清楚自己翻译水平是怎样,词汇积累不行,理解力和表

达力欠缺。这都是考试之后自己要加油补的,所以一起努力呀!可以去看看李长栓老师博客,有一篇写到《我的学生是如何做翻译的》,特别好!

汉语写作与百科知识:

题型是25个百科词条,每题两分;小作文一篇,40分;大作文一篇,60分。

百科看起来多、杂,其实就分为中西方文化、文学、历史六大块。用到的书有:《西方文化概论》赵林

《西方文学十五讲》徐葆耕

《中国文化要略》程裕祯

《中国文学与中国文化知识应试指南》林青松

《2000个应该知道的文化常识》杨谷怀

西方历史部分是自己在网上根据国别用百度百科、维基百科、互动

百科分别搜索,挑出重要的历史事件、人物,依据词条进行再搜索,最后自己整理。中国历史部分程裕祯老师的那本书里讲的很详细,同样是要自己整理出重点词条。我在百科复习过程中走了很多弯路,初期看书的时候只是看,看完了什么都不记得,以至于最后又找学姐买了她写的词条,根据自己看的书又重新整合,最后大约有十万字,时间特别不够,要挤出其他科目的时间记忆百科。所以学弟

学妹们引以为戒。这些书特别是前4本,若是大三下学期有时间,可以慢慢细细

看看,会觉得很有意思,你会想了解更多。若只是为应试,看的时候挑出重要的词条。什么是重要的词条呢?看看北外历年的百科考题就会大致摸出方向,北外不会考偏、生僻的,至会考大家最熟悉、最重要的。但是这样并不意味着简单,

很多词条你尽管知道是什么,但要解释要点解释100字左右,还是挺困难的。我是到了12月份才知道自己之前还有一本书《汉语写作与百科知识》武汉大学出版社刘军平,发现了之后悔不当初,这本书按照词条分类,省去了自己整理的很多麻烦,系统又有条理。但是看的时候仍然需要整合成自己的话,100字左右,

虽然考试时写到70字就差不多,但是考场上并不一定会记得当时整理的所有,

肯定会有遗忘,所以准备的时候多一点较好。考试的时候每个词条我大约都写了120字,大家分析今年真题就会发现,贴近时事的东西考得越来越多了,比如今年有APEC,战略伙伴关系,丝绸之路经济带,有14年活跃的极端组织IS伊斯兰国,还有新寓言派,我在复习法语的时候知道14年的诺贝尔文学奖得主法国作家Patrick Modiano《地平线》,他就是新寓言派代表。总之,百科知识

的复习要趁早,前辈推荐背诵两遍以上,因为多了容易记混。我自己是按照默写的方式记忆的,脑子里有清晰的脉络,所以不会混淆,大家的记忆方式不一,慢

慢探索。另外,百科是很容易在短期将分数考高的,往年翻译基础考到110+都

是大神,大家都是靠百科提分,今年翻译基础分值变高,但不知道明年后年情况会如何,因此百科要尽可能考高。

小作文部分,其实我准备了很多类型的公文,每个类型写了改了两篇

以上,都没有考,唯独考了个没有准备的新闻!当时默默告诉自己不能慌张,我就按照小学时候(囧)写新闻的经验,编了一个今年考研人数减少,专业硕士报

考人数上升的小新闻,这还是我中午吃饭的时候看china daily手机报上看到

的。所幸写的还是那么回事,最后终于自圆其说,格式应该完满。仗着从小比较能瞎掰才没出大娄子,不过当时也挺着急。所以大家要吸取我的经验,各种类型广告、说明书、导游词、新闻、申请书、函、复函等等都要准备到,不能抱有侥幸心理,有条件的话让学院中文老师帮忙看看改改。

大作文部分,12月开始每晚睡前看高考作文集,一个题材的多看几篇,

有比较、例文多才知道别人写得好的在哪里。因为自己作文一直挺好,平时也喜欢写,就没有再练笔,但是心里都会有腹稿有大纲。考试的时候写的是《让失去变得更加可爱》,北外喜欢文学色彩浓的,所以自己整篇作文基本是骈散结合,开头结尾写出彩,中间有详有略有对比,例子有中有外,写完收笔心里还挺高兴,感觉直抒胸臆了特畅快。另外写字注意美观整洁,百科的卷纸就是一张大白纸,

平时练习时候就要注意,有学姐推荐可以拿直尺比着写~

复试:

北外今年MTI笔译也没有复试笔试,这是到3月20号晚上复试安排出了之后才知道的。复试面试分为两部分——视译两段落(E-C/C-E)+问答。

今年的视译部分,大家出考场后普遍反映比较难。我复试准备视译主

要用的书是《视译基础》,较为简单,视译起来容易有成就感,推荐大家练习时用难一点的材料,比如红皮的《英汉视译》,这本书我只用了一点,只看了部分

技巧。C-E讲得是北京跨国犯罪预防中心,要注意译句的主干结构。E-C上面提到了,又是讲地沟油。准备时间很短,只有90秒,今年是先C-E段落,因此我分配了很多时间想C译句的结构、中心,以至于后面没有太多时间看E-C段落,学弟学妹们要吸取教训。

问答部分较为简单,我觉得答的还是不错。注意语音语貌,大胆自信。问答部分前期要准备到简短自我介绍、翻译学术背景、以后两年希望学到什么、毕业安排、还包括CAT是什么等等。

最后祝大家不负初心,实现梦想!

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 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.

2018北京外国语大学基础英语真题 第一部分:改错 When Rudyard Kipling died on Jan. 18, 1936, just three weeks after his 70th birthday, he had been one of Britain's most heralded writers for no fewer than 47 years. During much of this time, he also used his fame to intervene in politics as a propagandist, prophet and doomsayer. His standing in Britain was exceptional: for almost his entire adult life, he wrote in the knowledge that he would be read and he spoke with the expectation of being heard. His life's cause was defense of the British Empire, but he also opined of →on every imaginable topic. A conservative by instinct, a rebel at heart, his views were unpredictable: many echoed on (去掉) the mood of the street, some were stridently pugnacious, a few unapologetically eccentric. His immense popularity guaranteed himfor (去掉)a lifelong pulpit. Yet how did he achieve this power at so young an age? Born in India in 1865, he was just 5 when he was shipped back to England and installed unhappily in a boarding house in Southsea. At 12 he was packed off to one of myriad boarding schools preparing boys to running →run the empire. Then at 16 he returned to India, there→where his father found him a job on a newspaper in Lahore.

At 17, young Rud had the gall to assail the British viceroy of India in print. Soon, he was also publishing poems and stories, beginning with clever parodies of well-known British poets, then moving into political and social satire. 第二部分:阅读理解1 The Current State of the U.S. Debt As of June 7, 2016, the U.S. national debt stood at $19.279 trillion, which is 101% of our nation’s gross domesti c product (GDP). This is more than double the national debt from 10 years ago, when it was 61% of GDP. However, when broader measures of debt are included, such as entitlement payments and government pensions, the actual debt load rises to a staggering 288% of GDP. The good news is that the rate of growth in national debt is slowing. The bad news is, even with a slowing growth rate, federal budget experts suggest that the high national debt may not be sustainable without significant reductions
