1. 现在,我国的《红楼梦》研究,可以说是百花烂漫,盛况空前。“中国艺术研究院”设立了“红楼梦研究所”,从事这部伟大小说及其作者的专门研究。目前,已经完成了《红楼梦》新校本的校注和其他若干研究项目。此外,全国各研究机关和大专院校,也都拥有不少从事“红学”研究的专业和业余人员。他们对《红楼梦》的思想、艺术、版本以及作家的生平、家世等方面进行了研究,并出版了不少研究成果。为了便于研究成果的交流,两年来,出了两种“红学”研究的专门刊物:《红楼梦研究学刊》和《红楼梦研究集刊》。1980年7月,在哈尔滨还召开了《全国红楼梦讨论会》。这部伟大小说的研究,正在向更加深人的方向发展。
正确答案: A wide range of research on A Dream of Red Mansions is
currently being conducted in China. The Dream of Red Mansions Research Institute,
devoted solely to work on the novel, has been established at the Chinese Academy of
Arts. At the Institute textual notes for a new edition have recently been completed and
several associated research projects are underway. In many institutions of higher
education throughout China scholars, professional and amateur, are engaged in
studying various aspects of the novel. In the last two years much research information
has been exchanged in two new periodicals—Studies on a Dream of Red Mansions
and Studies on a Dream of Red Mansions. In addition, a national symposium to
discuss current research was held in Harbin, Heilengjiang Province in July 1980.
解析: 这段节选自一篇向国外介绍《红楼梦》的文章。参考译文选自翻译界泰斗杨宪益的译文,考虑到外国读者对《红楼梦》知之甚少,他没有“紧扣”中文。译文在遣词造句、谋篇布局等方面堪称典范,考生可以细细体会译家高超的翻译手法。……百花烂漫,盛况空前:如字对字译为: “Now,we may say
as well that the researches on the novel A Dream of Red Mansions in our country are
exceptionally flourishing.”。似乎有些夸饰,反而没有忠实地译出原文信息。全国各研究机关和大专院校:合译为“in many institutions of higher education
throughout China”。他们……并出版了不少研究成果:对原文亦步亦趋的话,可以译为: “They work hard at researching into the ideology,art,edition as well as
the life and genealogy of the author of this outstanding novel,publishing a lot of their
scientific results.”。但似乎对译文读者而言,信息过多反而丧失了阅读的兴趣,不妨与前一句合译。这部伟大小说的研究,正在向更加深入的方向发展:这一句杨宪益先生又选择省略不译,因为译出容易造成意思重复和表达累赘。 知识模块:时文类汉译英
2. 范仲淹少年时代非常刻苦,常常一人彻夜伴灯苦读。清贫的生活并没有动摇他矢志求学的决心,他在书本中寻找生活的乐趣。为了见更大的世面,向名师求教,和饱学之士交友,他23岁时来到宋代著名的四大书院之一应天府书院。范仲淹在这里向名师请教,和许多同学相互切磋,大量地阅读了书院丰富的藏书,顿觉眼界大开。这一时期的学习生活为他以后成为一个精通儒家经典、博学多才又擅长诗文的学者奠定了基础。 范仲淹一生道德文章,名闻天下。士大夫以不受他指点为耻。大街小巷以至外邦,人人都知道他的名字。著名文学家苏东坡对范仲淹十分景慕,视平生未曾从学为终身憾事。
正确答案: He was born in a poor family, but the restraint of life did not
blunt his will to learn. In his childhood he was very diligent in reading. He would read
all night through, trying to discover the meaning of life in books. Urged by his desire
to go and see the rest of the world and study with learned scholars, at the age of
twenty-three he went to Yingtianfu Academy, one of the four famous academies of the
Song Dynasty, where he worked with established scholars and exchanged ideas with
his fellow students. He had read a large portion of the Academy’s collection, as a
result of which he greatly extended his breadth of vision. His student life at the
Academy paved the road along which he eventually became an erudite scholar. He
was not only expert on the classics of Confucianism but also well versed in the craft
of poetry and prose writing. Throughout the country Fan Zhongyan was
well-known for his moral integrity. He was so popular that his name was familiar to
the people in grass-root neighborhoods and even to the people in neighboring states.
Scholars took it as a shame when they failed to study under his supervision. The great
poet of the Song Dynasty Su Dongpo admired Fan Zhongyan very much but, all of his
life, he had regretted not having the honor of being a student of his.
解析: 本篇节选自胡伟希的《范仲淹》,描述了范仲淹坚忍不拔的毅力和不计利害得失、心怀天下的胸襟。同时,赞扬了他在教育方面做出的卓越成就。译者需在字词层、句子层、语段层等不同层次翻译上下扎实的功夫。清贫的生活:译为“the restraint of life”,对原文的把握非常到位,与“did not blunt his will to
learn”相呼应。生活的乐趣:对于读书之人“生活的乐趣”即“生活的意义”,故译为“the meaning of life”。为了见更大的世面: “见世面”即“看看外面的世界”,这部分译为“Urged by his desire to go and see the rest of the world”。大量地阅读了书院丰富的藏书: “大量地阅读”指“阅读了书院藏书的很大一部分”,译为“He had read a large portion of the Academy’s collection.”。眼界大开:指“视野更加开阔”,译为“he greatly extended his breadth of vision”。范仲淹一生道德文章,名闻天下:指“范仲淹为人正直,因而名闻天下”,译为“Throughout the
country Fan Zhongyan was well-known for his moral integrity.”。大街小巷以至外邦,人人都知道他的名字: “大街小巷”指“平民老百姓都知道他的名字”,故译为“his name was familiar to the people in grass—root neighborhoods”。著名文学家苏东坡:苏东坡是宋朝著名的诗人,译为“The great poet of the Song Dynasty
Su Dongpo”。 知识模块:时文类汉译英
3. 党中央、国务院对北京市”非典”防治工作极为重视,胡锦涛总书

1. 在逝去如飞的日子里,在千门万户的世界里的我能做些什么呢?只有徘徊罢了,只有匆匆罢了;在八千多日的匆匆里,除徘徊外,又剩些什么呢?过去的日子如轻烟却被微风吹散了,如薄雾。被初阳蒸融了;我留着些什么痕迹呢?我何曾留着像游丝样的痕迹呢?我赤裸裸来到这世界,转眼间也将赤裸裸地回去罢?但不能平的,为什么偏要白白走这一遭啊? 你聪明的,告诉我,我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢?
正确答案: What can I do,in this bustling World,with my clays flying in
their escape? Nothing but to hesitate, to rush.What have I been doing in that
eight-thousand-day rush,apart from hesitating? Those bygone days have been
dispersed as smoke by a light wind,or evaporated as mist by the morning sun. What

题型有:1.08 billion-worth of goods to North Korea last year, 35% more than in
2004 and 122% more than in 1995, according to Chinese statistics. More than half of
all trade in 2005 was handled by Dandong. Less promisingly for North Korea, exports
to China fell by 14.8% to $499 million.
正确答案: 友谊与贸易 中国与朝鲜之间的重要交通线——一座横跨鸭绿江的狭窄的公路、铁路两用桥——并不表示江对岸有多少生意可做。在这条全长不到1公里(约半英里)的单车道上,仅稀稀拉拉地行驶着几辆卡车。几个小时里都没有一列火车通过。朝鲜几年前曾希望在它们那头建成一个繁忙的投资区,但它们现在拥有的只是一座满是停产工厂的破旧城市。到了晚上,这里到处都是漆黑一片,只有零星的几点灯光。 但是现在鸭绿江两岸的贸易却有了起色。驶过这座友谊桥(1943年由日本人建造,朝鲜战争中被美军炸毁)的中国卡车满载的不再仅仅是生活必需品。 中国统计数字表明,去年中国向朝鲜出口额达到10.8亿美元,较2004年增长35%,比1995年增长122%。2005年全年超过一半的贸易是在丹东完成的。朝鲜的情况则不太妙,对中国的出口额减少了14.8%,仅为4.99亿美元。
解析: 这篇文章节选自《经济学人》(The Economist)杂志,语言生动简练,描述了中朝边境的贸易状况及两国贸易再现生机。1. a narrow road-and-rail
bridge across the Yalu river:一座横跨鸭绿江的狭窄的公路、铁路两用桥。2.trickle:滴,淌;稀疏的人流、车流、货流,故A trickle of trucks译为“稀稀拉拉的几辆卡车”。3.single—lane carriageway,which stretches for less than 1km(barely half a

1. Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my
life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the
suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and
thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the verge of
despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy — ecstasy so great
that I would have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have
sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness — that terrible loneliness in which one
shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into cold unfathomable

1. 我一直以为大学校长是高瞻远瞩、指导学术与教育大方向的决策人,而不是管馒头稀饭的保姆,但这也暂且不提。这一类型的教育者的用心,毋庸置疑,当然是善意的。问题是,我们论“事”的时候,用心如何根本不重要,重要的是实际的后果,而教育的后果何其严重!在这种过度呵护的幼稚教育下成长的大学生,遇事时,除了“泪眼汪汪”之外又能做些什么呢? 教育者或许会说:这些学生如果进大学以前,就已经学好自治自律的话,我就不必要如此提之携之,喂之哺之;就是因为基础教育没教好,所以我办大学的人不得不教。虽然是亡羊补牢,总比不教好。
正确答案: Now I have always considered university presidents to be
visionary policymakers who set the course of academic research and education rather
than mere nannies in charge of feeding steamed bread and porridge to infants. But
let’s put this aside for the moment. There is no doubt, of course, that this type of
educator has very good intentions. The problem is, when we pass judgment on
something, what matters is not intentions but the actual consequences. And how
serious the consequences of education are! Brought up in an educational system that

1. 我想有必要在这里先谈一谈德国的与博士论文有关的制度。当我在德国学习的时候,德国并没有规定学习的年限,只要你有钱,你可以无限期地学习下去。德国有一个词儿是别的国家没有的,这就是“永恒的大学生”。德国大学没有空洞的“毕业”这个概念,只有博士论文写成,口试通过,拿到博士学位,这才算是毕了业。 写博士论文也有一个形式上简单而实则极严格的过程,一切决定于教授,在德国大学里,学术问题是教授说了算。德国大学没有入学考试。只要高中毕业,就可以进入任何大学。德国学生往往是先入几个大学,过了一段时间以后,自己认为某个大学、某个教授,对自己最适合,于是才安定下来。
正确答案:I think it is necessary to talk about the system of doctoral dissertation
in Germany first. When I studied in Germany, there was no limitation on the length of
schooling. Thus, you could keep on studying as long as you can afford to. The
German term “eternal college student” finds no equivalence in other languages. And
the concept “graduation” in German universities is never hollow: only after finishing
Ph.D dissertation, passing the dissertation defense and attaining the doctoral degree,

1. Today I have read the Tempest ... Among the many reasons which make
me glad to have been born in England, and one of the first is that I read Shakespeare
in my mother tongue. If I try to imagine myself as one who cannot know him face to
face, who hears him only speaking from afar, and that in accents which only through
the labouring intelligence can touch the living soul, there comes upon me a sense of
chill discouragement, of dreary deprivation. I am wont to think that I can read Homer,
and, assuredly, if any man enjoys him, it is I; but can I for a moment dream that
Homer yields me all his music, that his word is to me as to him who walked by the
