英语专业八级翻译练习题(一)The Rewards of Living a Solitary LifeThe other day an acquaintance of mine, a gregarious and charming man, told me he had found himself unexpectedly alone in New York for an hour or two between appointments. He went to the Whitney and spent the "empty" time looking at things in solitary bliss. For him it proved to be a shock nearly as great as falling in love to discover that he could enjoy himself so much alone.参考译文:独自生活的报偿前些日子,我的一个熟人,一位热爱交际并很受欢迎的男士告诉我,他在纽约的两个约会之间偶然有一两个小时的空闲,他便去了惠特尼博物馆,四处浏览着展品,无比幸福的度过了那些时光。
发现自已独自一人,也能如此的幸福,他感觉像坠入爱河那般震惊。
英语专业八级翻译练习题(二)What had he been afraid of, I asked myself? That, suddenly alone, he would discover that he bored himself, or that there was, quite simply, no self there to meet? But having taken the plunge, he is now on the brink of adventure; he is about to be launched into his own inner space to the astronaut. His every perception will come to him with a new freshness and, for a time, seem startlingly original.参考译文:“他一直在害怕什么呢?”,我问自已。

2016专八真题翻译题及答案详解

2016年专八翻译题及答案详解“流逝”表现了南国人对时间最早的感觉.子在川上曰:“逝者如斯夫。
”他们发现无论是潺潺小溪,还是浩荡大河,都一去不复返,流逝之际青年变成了老翁而绿草转眼就枯黄,很自然有错阴的紧迫感。
流逝也许是缓慢的,但无论如何缓慢,对流逝的恐惧使人们必须用“流逝”这个词来时时警戒后人,必须急匆匆地行动,给这个词灌注一种紧张感。
【参考译文1】They have found that the flowing water, either a murmuring stream or a mighty river, passes quickly and never returns。
With the passage of time,the young become the old and the green grass turns yellow。
People naturally have a sense of urgency to value every bit of time。
As time goes by, no matter how slowly it elapses,people always use the word “liushi” to warn the later generations for fear of time’s flowing away. They tell their descendants to treasure every single minute and make a hurried action,which adds a sense of tension to the word.【参考译文2】They find that either a murmuring stream or a mighty river has gone forever and that the passage of time turns a young man into an old one, and yellows of the grass, which sends a massage of how time flies. Maybe the passing of time is slow. But no matter how slow it is,it mak es people so fearful that they use “passage” to warn the later generations to rush. And the use of “passage” also infuses a sense of tension into the word。

专八翻译练习Practice 3一、英译汉For me the most interesting thing about a solitary life, and mine has been that for the last twenty years, is that it becomes increasingly rewarding. When I can wake up and watch the sun rise over the ocean, as I do most days, and know that I have an entire day ahead, uninterrupted, in which to write a few pages, take a walk with my dog, read and listen to music, I am flooded with happiness. I’m lonely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when from the time being I feel empty and need filling up. And I am lonely sometimes when I come back home after a lecture trip, when I have seen a lot of people and talked a lot, and am full to the brim(边缘)with experience that needs to be sorted out(挑选、选择).Then for a little while the house feels huge and empty, and I wonder where my self(本性、本我)is hiding. It has to be recaptured slowly by watering the plants and perhaps, by looking again at each one(指代plant植物)as though it were a person. It takes a while, as I watch the surf(水浪)blowing up in fountains(喷泉), but the moment(指the lonely moment)comes when the worlds falls away, and the self emerges again from the deep unconscious(潜意识), bringing back all I have recently experienced to be explored and slowly understood.二、汉译英我想,其实谁都有一个小小花园,谁都是有苗圃之地的,这便是我们的内心世界。

专四专八文言文翻译

原文:晋太元中,武陵人捕鱼为业。
缘溪行,忘路之远近。
忽逢桃花林,夹岸数百步,中无杂树,芳草鲜美,落英缤纷,渔人甚异之。
复前行,欲穷其林。
林尽水源,便得一山,山有小口,仿佛若有光。
便舍船,从口入。
初极狭,才通人。
复行数十步,豁然开朗。
土地平旷,屋舍俨然,有良田美池桑竹之属。
阡陌交通,鸡犬相闻。
其中往来种作,男女衣着,悉如外人。
黄发垂髫,并怡然自乐。
见渔人,乃大惊,问所从来。
具答之。
便要还家,设酒杀鸡作食。
村中闻有此人,咸来问讯。
自云先世避秦时乱,率妻子邑人来此绝境,不复出焉,遂与外人间隔。
问今是何世,乃不知有汉,无论魏晋。
此人为具言所闻,皆叹惋。
余人各复延至其家,皆出酒食。
停数日,辞去。
此中人语云:“不足为外人道也。
”既出,得其船,便扶向路,处处志之。
及郡下,诣太守,说如此。
太守即遣人随其往。
寻向所志,遂迷,不复得路。
南阳刘子骥,高尚士也,闻之,欣然规往。
未果,寻病终。
后遂无问津者。
译文:在晋代太元年间,有个名叫武陵的人以捕鱼为生。
有一天,他沿着溪水划船而行,忘记了路程的远近。
忽然,他发现了一片桃花林,林子夹在两岸,绵延数百步,中间没有其他树木,花草鲜美,落花纷纷扬扬,渔人对此感到非常惊异。
他继续向前划船,想要走到林子的尽头。
林子的尽头是水源,那里有一座小山,山边有一个小洞,洞口似乎透出微光。
渔人便舍弃了船,从洞口进去。
起初洞口非常狭窄,只能容一个人通过。
又走了几十步,突然变得开阔明亮。
这里土地平坦,房屋整齐,有肥沃的田地、美丽的池塘、桑树和竹林等。
田间小路交错相通,鸡鸣狗吠声此起彼伏。
这里的人们来来往往耕种劳作,男女的穿着打扮都和外面的人一样。
不论老少,都安闲快乐。
当人们看到渔人时,都非常惊讶,问他从哪里来。
渔人详细地回答了他们。
于是,他们邀请渔人到家中,摆酒杀鸡款待他。
村中的人听说有这样一个外乡人,都来打听消息。
他们自称祖先为了躲避秦朝的战乱,带着妻子儿女和乡民们来到这个与世隔绝的地方,从此再也没有出去,所以与外界隔绝了。
专八经典翻译---汉译英篇

1)在得病以前,我受父母宠爱,在家中横行霸道。
译文:Before I fell ill,I had been the bully under roofs owing to my doting parents.(PS:“横行霸道”在此并无“任意欺凌他人”之意,而是“想干什么就干什么,为所欲为”,可用get everything my all own way或be the bully表达)(2)这所全国重点大学为社会输送了大批的人才译文:The national key university has prepared batches of qualified graduates for the society(PS:“输送”在句中是一个模糊笼统的词,具体说来是指“培养出”。
“人才”也比较笼统,这里译为qualified graduates 是比较确切的。
)(3)他是个“墙头草”,谁硬就跟谁。
译文:He always sits on the fence and falls on the side of the stronger.(PS: "墙头草”是个比喻,与英语中的sit on the fence 含义一样。
为了译出其内在含义,译文选择了舍弃其表面意义。
)(4)这样,每个地方都有自己的传说,风俗也就衍传了下来。
译文:Thus,every place,with its own legends and tales,has its traditions and customs passed on from generation to generation.(PS: 汉译英时,汉语中有些动词都可以用介词短语来表达,这样更形象。
)(5)面对一池碧水,将忧心烦恼全都抛在一边,使自己的身心得以充分休息。
译文:When facing a pool of green water,you forget all your worries and annoyance and enjoy a good rest,both mentally and physically.(PS: 英语代词比汉语代词种类多,用法更别多,汉译英时,注意增译出其隐含在句中的代词。

31.在兽类中我最爱虎,在虎的故事中我最爱下面的一个。
深山中有一所古庙,几个和尚在那里过着单调的修行生活。
同他们做朋友的,除了有时上山来的少数乡下人外,就是几只猛虎。
虎不惊扰僧人,却替他们守护庙宇。
作为报酬,和尚把一些可吃的东西放在庙门前。
每天傍晚,夕阳染红小半个天空,虎们成群地走到庙门口,吃了东西,跳跃而去。
庙门大开,僧人们安然在庙内做他们的日课,也没有谁出去看虎怎样吃东西,即使偶尔有一二和尚立在门前,虎们亦视为平常的事情,把他们看做熟人,不去惊动,却斯斯文文地吃完走开。
如果看不见僧人,虎就发出几声长啸,随着几阵风飞腾而去。
Instead of harassing the monks, the tigers voluntarily stood guard at the gate of the temple. As a reward for it, the monks would place some edibles in front of the gate for the tigers to eat.Towards evening, when the setting sun had dyed half of the sky red, the tigers would come up to the gate in groups to eat their fill and then left slipping and jumping. The monks usually left the gate wide open while peacefully engaged in their daily routine of chanting Buddhist scripture inside the temple. Normally none of their came out to watch the tigers eat. Sometimes, however, one or two monks did appear standing at the gate, but the tigers would remain unalarmed and, taking the monks for their friends, did nothing to harm them. They just kept on eating unhurriedly until they finished and left. Sometimes, when they found,monks at the gate,they would whisk away like the wind after uttering several thunderous roars.32.第二年正式签署和约,随后过了一个月慈禧才终于从西安动身。
她对外国人万分惧怕,正像她对国人无比傲慢一样。
她在河南停留了很长一段时间,到了保定又逗留多日,好不容易才回到北京。
据野史记载,在这漫长的旅途中还发生了一件趣事。
一位地方官员送给慈禧一只猴子,她颇为高兴,竟下旨给那只猴子穿黄马褂。
后来太监报告说,有的官员发出了“人不如猴”的感慨,慈禧这才发现自己的决定有些荒唐,于是又下旨给随行官员每人一件黄马褂。
得到这殊荣之后,大家真不知道该感谢慈禧还是感谢那只猴子。
In the following year, a formal peace pact was signed. About a month later, Cixi leftXi’an at last. Sh e was utterly fearful of foreigners just as she was extremely arro-gant toward her own countrymen. She stopped far a long time in Henan and halted in Baoding for quite a few days before finally arriving in Beijing. According to unofficial accounts,an amusing episode took place during this long and drawn out journey. When a local official offered a monkey to her as a gift,she was so pleased that she ordered a yellow mandarin jacket to be conferred upon the monkey.later, a eunuch heard some officials complaining that people were considered less worthy than a monkey and went to inform Cixi,who realized that her order had been indeed a little too whimsical. So sheissued another edict granting each of the escorting officials a yellow mandarin jacket. Upon the receipt of such an unusual favor the officials did not know whether they should thank Cixi or rather the monkey for it.33.中国家庭一向尊老爱幼。
在大家庭里,老一辈人的意见受到尊重,小一辈的人得到全家的爱护。
中国宪法规定赡养父母是成年子女义不容辞的责任。
在城市里,不和家里老人一起住的年轻夫妇给老人生活费并帮助他们干家务活儿。
在农村,尽管大家庭解体了,许多结了婚的儿子和他的家人还和父母住在同一个院子里。
对他们来说,分家不过是分灶而已。
结了婚的儿子往往把房子盖在父母家附近,这样父母和子女互相帮助、探望都和过去一样方便。
In extended families, older member's opinion was respected, and the youngest members are loved and taken good care of by all. China's constitution stipulates that grown-up children are duty-bound to support their parents. In the cities, couples who do not live with their aged parents give the latter living allowances and help them with the house chores. In the countryside, though quite a number of extended families have dissolved, many married sons and their families continue to live in the same courtyard with their parents. To them, breaking up the extended family means cooking their meals separately. Married sons most often havetheir houses built near their parents’ Home, making it convenient for parents and children to help and visit each other as before.34.三峡大坝的建造是举世瞩目的最伟大的成就之一。
我对这项宏伟工程仍然充满敬畏:谁能想像高山会被移动,世界最大的河流之一会被人驯服,就为了造福13亿人民!中国人民似乎没有克服不了的困难。
他们正在构筑自己的未来,其规模与人民的需要相匹配。
如果谁真正了解中国人民的需求需要付出多大的努力,他们就不会对这种努力说三道四。
每个工业化国家在其发展的历史进程中,都有一个重大的阶段进行基础设施建设,造福于民。
中国目前正处在这样一个阶段,并且面临比所有其他国家更多更大的任务。
可以肯定地说,中国人民有能力完成三峡工程。
No task seems too large for the people of China. They are building their future on a scalethat matches the needs for their people, who could fault this effort if they truly understood what it takes to provide for the people of China. In the history of every in-dustrialized nation, there has been a great period of building infrastructure for the bene-fit of its people. China is in this period now and the task is much greater than the ones that any other country has ever faced. There should be no question that the Chinese people have the ability to successfully complete the Three Gorges Project.35.我们一定要恢复和发扬毛主席为我们党树立的实事求是的优良传统和作风,作老实人,说老实话,办老实事。
这是一个共产党员的起码标准。
一定要言行一致。
理论与实际密切结合,反对华而不实和任何虚夸,少说空话,多做工作,扎扎实实,埋头苦干。
我们一定要恢复和发扬毛主席为我们党树立的批评和自我批评的优良传统和作风,在党内和整个人民内部,认真实行“知无不言,言无不尽”,“言者无罪,闻者足戒”的原则,实行团结—批评—团结的方针。
