考研英语:翻译真题精讲(6)

一、全真试题

Almost all our major problemsinvolve human behavior,andthey cannot besolved by physical and biological technology alone. What is needed is a technology of behavior,but we have been slowto develop the science fromwhich suchatechnology might be drawn.61)One difficulty isthat almost all of what is called behavioral science continues to trace behavior to states of mind,feelings,traits of character,human nature,and soon.Physics and b iologyonce followed similar practices and advanced only whenthey discarded them.62)Thebehavioral scienceshave been s lowto change partlybecause the explanatory items often seem t obedirectly observed and partly because other kinds of expl anations have been hard to find.The environment is obviously im portant,but its role has remained obscure. It does not pushorpull,itselects,and this function is difficult to discover and analy ze.63)The role ofnatural selection in evolution wasformulat ed only a little more than a hundred years ago,and the selectiv e role of the environment in shaping and maintaining the behavior of the individual is only beginningto be recognized and studied.As the interaction between organismand environment has come to be understood,however,effects onceassignedto states of mi nd,feelings,and traits are beginning to betraced toaccessible conditions,and a technology of behavior may therefore become avai lable.It will notsolveour problems,however,until it replaces traditional prescientific views,and these are strongly entrenched. Freedom and dignityillustrate thedifficulty.64)Theyare the possessions oftheautonomous(self-governing)man oftra ditional theory,and they are essential to practices in which a person is held responsiblefor his conduct and given creditfor his achievements.A scientific analysis shifts both the respo nsibility and the achievement to theenvironment. It also raises questions concerning “values”. Who will use a technology and to what ends?65)Until these issues are resolved,a technology of behavior will continueto berejected,and with itpossibly the only way to solve our problems.

二、翻译题解

(61)Onedifficultyisthatalmost all ofwhatiscalled behavioral sciencecontinuestotracebehaviorto states of mind, feeli ngs,traits of character, humannature, and so on.

句子拆分:

拆分点参考:从属连词,谓语动词

One difficulty is //that almost all of what is called behavioralscience// continuesto trace behavior to states of mind, feelings, traits of character, humannature, andso on.

解析:

(1)主干结构是One difficulty is that...

(2)almost all of what is called behavioral science是表语从句中的主语部分,后面是简单的谓语和宾语结构。

词的处理:

continues to trace behaviorto ...继续针对……研究行为

behavioral science行为科学

states of mind心态,意识状态

feelings感情

traitsof character性格特点

技巧点拨:

(1)what和that引导的名词性从句直接翻译均可,无需调整顺序。

(2)减词法:短语states of mind(心理状态)、traits of character(性格特征)、human nature(人类本性)均可以采用减词法,分别翻译成两个字的形式:“心态”“性格”“人性”,朗朗上口,符合汉语对仗的习惯。

完整译文:

难题之一在于所谓的行为科学几乎全都依然从心态、情感、性格(特征)、人性等方面去寻找行为的根源。

(62)The behavioralscienceshave beenslow to change partlybeca usethe explanatory items oftenseemto bedirectlyobserved and part lybecauseother kinds of explanationshave beenhard to find.句子拆分:

拆分点参考:连词

Thebehavioral sciences have been slowto change//partlybecause the explanatory items often seemtobe directly observed and//partlybecause other kinds of explanations have been hard to find.

解析:

(1)主句是The behavioral sciences have beenslow to change。

(2)and连接两个并列的原因状语从句:partly because ... and partly because ...。

词的处理:

the explanatory items用以解释的要素、依据(内容,项目)

otherkinds of explanations其他解释方式

技巧点拨:

(1)汉语中习惯前因后果,故原则上本句中的原因状语需要翻译到主句之前;但也有例

外,我们可以借助词汇进行处理,用六个字“之所以......是因为(原因是)......”,这样就不需要对原文大动干戈了。

(2)被动语态to be directly observed(直接被观察到),可采用省略“被”字的翻译方法,译为“直接观察到”,这在汉语中与“水可以直接喝”类似,都是用主动的词汇表达被动的意思。

(3)两个原因状语从句的主语并列,可以在翻译的时候相互印证借鉴,如explanatory items翻译成“解释依据”对大多数同学来说难度很大,但是与其并列的other kinds of explanations提示考生explanatory items翻译成explnations也算正确,因为它们是并列的,意思也应一致。

完整译文:

行为科学之所以发展缓慢,部分原因是用来解释行为的依据似乎往往是直接观察到的,部分原因是其他的解释方式一直难以找到。

(63)The role ofnatural selection in evolution//was form ulatedonly a little morethanahundred yearsago, //andthe s elective role of the environment in shapingand maintaining the b ehavior of the individual//isonly beginning to be recognized and studied.

句子拆分:

拆分点参考:谓语动词,连词

The role of natural selectionin evolution//was formulated only a little more than a hundred years ago, //and the selective role of th e environment in shaping and maintaining the behavior of the indivi dual//is only beginning to be recognizedand studied.

解析:

(1)本句为并列复合句,是由and连接的两个简单句构成的。

(2)第一个简单句的主干为the role was formulated;第二个简单句的主干为th e selective role is onlybeginning to ...。

词的处理:

role作用

inevolution在演化中,在进化过程中

formulated阐述;表述;解释;论证

shaping形成(造就)

maintaining保持,维护

recognized认可,承认

技巧点拨:

(1)定语前置翻译:in evolution修饰natural selection,而ofnatur alselection又作定语修饰the role,因此role为主语中心词,将定语前置翻译,译文为“自然选择在进化过程中的作用”。

(2)被动语态:按照被动语态的翻译方法,第一个简单句中的was formulated,处理成“得以、得到”,第二个简单句中的to be recognized and studied也可处理成“得以、得到”。

(3)连接这两个简单句的and在语法上表示并列关系,但在意义上是转折关系,故翻译为“而”表示对立。

完整译文:

自然选择在进化中的作用仅在一百多年前才得以阐明,而环境在塑造和保持个体行为时的选择作用则刚刚开始得到认识和研究。

(64)Theyarethe possessions of the autonomous (self-governing)manof traditional theory,andthey'reessential to practicesinwhicha personis heldresponsible for his conductandgiven cred it for his achievements.

句子拆分:

拆分点参考:谓语动词,连词

Theyare the possessions of the autonomous (self-governing) man of traditional theory, /and they're essential to practices/in whicha person is held responsible forhisconduct and giv en credit forhis achievements.

解析:

(1)主干结构是两个并列句They are the possessions of ... and they're essential to...

(2)in which...是practices的定语从句,其中is held responsilbe for…and given…并列做定语从句的谓语,given前面省略了助动词is。

词的处理:

they它们(自由与尊严),代词做主语

possessions所有物

autonomous (self-governing)自主行为的;自我管理的;自我约束的

practices实践活动

is held responsible for对……负责

give credit for认可;赞誉;给予肯定

技巧点拨:

(1)代词they指代的是前一句话Freedom and dignity illustrate the diff iculty中的主语freedom and dignity,需要还原翻译。而第二个they与第一个并列句中的they指代一致,可以直接翻译为“它们”。

(2)possessions根据词性转换技巧,翻译为动词“拥有”,使得译文更通顺。

(3)定语从句in which a person is held responsible for his conduct修饰practices,此定语从句有两个并列的谓语部分,较复杂,可以采用分译法,重复先行词,使其独立成句,此外,被动语态is held responsible for可以调整为主动,二者合起来即“在实践活动中,一个人应该对自己的行为负责”。而参考译文中选择将in practices省译,不影响原文意思,且更简练,故也是可取的。

完整译文:

自由和尊严(它们)是传统理论定义的自主人所拥有的,是要求一个人对自己的行为负责并因其业绩而给予肯定的必不可少的前提。

(65)Untilthese issuesare resolved, a technology of behaviorwil lcontinueto be rejected,andwithit possibly theonly way to solve our problems.

句子拆分:

拆分点参考:谓语动词,连词

Until these issues are resolved, //a technology of behavior will continue to berejected, //and with it possibly the only way t

osolve ourproblems.

解析:

(1)主干结构是复合句Until these issues areresolved, a technology..., and with it...

(2)and with it possibly the onlyway to solve ourproblems从结构上看,and后的成分是状语加名词及修饰语,它与前面的主谓结构表面上是无法并列的,而英译汉的句子肯定不存在语法的问题,唯一的解释是这是一个省略句。这就是考研中一个非常常见的考点:省略结构。省略句一般省略相同的部分,前面的句子有名词短语做主语,and 后面的名词应该也是做主语,前面的句子有谓语,and后面却没有谓语,因此省略部分肯定是谓语,经过补充,and后面的句子应该是:the only way to solve our problems w ill possibly continue to be rejected with it。其中it指代前面主句的内容,可以译为“随着行为科学遭到拒绝”“随之”。

词的处理:

until直到

a technology of behavior研究行为的技术手段

be rejected被抛弃;被拒绝;被反对

withit随之;伴随着它

技巧点拨:

(1)本句的难度相当高,考查了and的并列功能,在英文中为了避免重复,常把一些前面出现过的相同的成份省略掉,本句也不例外:and连接的两个简单句因为谓语相同,遭到了省略。重要的是,我们要找出省略的内容,将原文补充完整后,再进行翻译。

(2)单词until直接翻译的话是“直到”,但结合整句话的意思来看,可以译成“除非”“如果......不......”,因为not ...until表示“直到......才......”,而“until..., ...”则表示“直到......才不......”(“除非......”与此义同)。

(3)被动语态willcontinue to be rejected,根据汉语习惯,翻译为“将继续遭到(受到)排斥”。

完整译文:

(如果)这些问题得不到解决,研究行为的技术手段就会继续受到排斥,解决问题的唯一方式可能也随之受到排斥。

三、参考译文

我们遇到的几乎所有重要问题都涉及到人的行为,而且仅靠物理技术和生物技术是无法解决这些问题的。我们所需要的是一种行为技术,但是可能产生这种技术的科学一直发展缓慢。(61)难题之一在于所谓的行为科学几乎全都依然从心态、情感、性格(特征)、人性等方面去寻找行为的根源。物理学和生物学一度模仿类似的做法并且只有当它们抛弃这些做法后才得到发展。(62)行为科学之所以发展缓慢,部分原因是用来解释行为的依据似乎往往是直接观察到的,部分原因是其他的解释方式一直难以找到。环境因素显然是重要的,但是它的作用仍然是模糊不清的。它既不推动也不阻碍行为科学的发展,它具有选择作用,因而这种作用是很难发现和分析的。(63)自然选择在进化中的作用仅在一百多年前才得以阐明,而环境在塑造和保持个体行为时的选择作用则刚刚开始得到认识和研究。然而,由于人(生物)和环境之间的相互作用已经逐渐被人们所认识,所以现在正开始从已知的环境去寻找一度认为是心态、情感和性格特征所造成的影响其根源所在。因此就可以建立一门行为技术。但是,如果行为技术代替不了传统的科学发展以前的观点,那它将无法解决我们的难题。而这些传统的观点是根深蒂固的。自由和尊严是难处之所在。(64)自由和尊严(它们)是传统理论定义的自主人所拥有的,是要求一个人对自己的行为负责并因其业绩而给予肯定的

必不可少的前提。科学的分析把责任和成绩归因于环境。它还提出有关“价值观念”的种种问题。谁会使用一门技术?其目的何在?(65)(如果)这些问题得不到解决,研究行为的技术手段就会继续受到排斥,解决问题的唯一方式可能也随之受到排斥。

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,

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.

考研英语:2001翻译真题精练精讲 一、全真试题 In less than30years time the Star Trek holodeck will be a reality. Direct links between the brains nervous system and a computer will also create full sensory virtual environments,allowing virtual vacations like those in the film Total Recall. (71)There will be television chat shows hosted by robots,and cars with pollution monitors that will disable them when they offend.(72)Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips,computers with in-built personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools,relaxation will be in front of smell-television,and digital age will have arrived. According to BT s futurologist,Ian Pearson,these are among the developments scheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium(a period of 1000years),when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life. (73)Pearson has pieced together the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds or key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place. Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine,including an extended life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs coming into use between now and 2040. Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in computer-human links. “By linking directly to our nervous system,computers could pick up what we feel and,hopefully,simulate feeling too so that we can start to develop full sensory environments,rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck,”, he says.(74)But that,Pearson points out,is only the start of man-machine integration:”It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human befo re the end of the next century.” Through his research,Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted. However,there are still no forecasts for when faster-that-light travel will be available,or when human cloning will be perfected,or when time travel will be possible. But he does expect social problems as a result of technological advances. A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will,for example,cause problems in2010,while the arrival of synthetic lifelike robots will mean people may not be able to distinguish between their human friends and the droids.(75)And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder—kitchen rage. 二、翻译题解
