专业英语八级（翻译）-试卷150(总分：12.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、 TRANSLATION(总题数：6，分数：12.00)1.PART IV TRANSLATION（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析：2.当今世界正处在深刻变革与调整之中。
多极化和全球化继续深入发展，国与国之间互相联系日益紧密，利益交融，休戚与共。
求和平、谋发展、促合作仍是这个时代不可阻挡的潮流。
然而，我们也应看到，世界仍然不安宁，局部冲突和热点问题此起彼伏；全球经济失衡加剧，南北差距持续扩大；气候变化、能源和资源等问题十分突出。
应对挑战，维护和平，促进发展已成为国际社会面临的紧迫而艰巨的任务。
（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(正确答案：The world today is experiencing profound changes and adjustments.Multi-polarization and globalization continue to develop in depth. Different countries become increasingly interconnected, with their interests, happiness and misfortunes interwoven with each other. To seek peace, development and cooperation remains an irreversible trend of the times. However, we should also notice the following problems; first of all, local conflicts and hot issues are frequently seen in this world, and the world is still not peaceful; secondly, the imbalance of global economy increases and the gap between the South and the North widens; thirdly, climate change and energy and resources-related matters are prominent. To address the challenge, maintain peace and promote development have become an urgent and arduous task facing the international community.)解析：解析：1．第二句中应注意对成语“休戚与共”的理解。
“休”指“欢乐，吉庆”；“戚”指“悲哀，忧愁”；“休戚与共”指“共同承担忧喜和祸福”，形容关系密切，利害相同，翻译时可采用意译法。
2．第三句中“这个时代”应翻译为the times，注意time的复数形式表示时代和时期。
3．第四句包含若干个分句，应理清分句之间的逻辑关系。
原文中“我们也应看到”之后共讲到三个问题，问题之间用分号隔开，翻译时可增译“第一……；第二……；第三……”加以说明。
在翻译“世界仍然不安宁，局部冲突和热点问题此起彼伏”时可调整语序，可以使用定语从句，以增加句型的多样性。
“南北差距持续扩大”中的“南北差距”指发展中国家与发达国家之间的差距。
发展中国家多位于南半球，故称“南”，发达国家多位于北半球，故称“北”，翻译时可意译为the gap between the developing countries and the developed countries，也可直译为the gap between the South and the North，注意此时South与North的首字母需大写。
4．第五句是整段文字的结尾，指出我们应如何应对当今国际形势的变化。
原文中出现了“已成为”，翻译时宜使用现在完成时。
此外“应对挑战，维护和平，促进发展”为三种不同的措施，谓语动词应使用复数形式。
3.教育是培养人的社会活动，是人类自身发展所必需的，也是人类社会得以发展的必要条件。
一个国家的发展强盛，从根本上说取决于其国民素质，而国民素质的提高，关键靠教育。
如果说教育是国家的基石，教师就是奠基者。
中华民族要实现伟大的复兴，就要重视和发展教育，这就对教师及教师职业提出了新的要求。
厚德方能载物，不断提高现代教师的职业道德修养水平，是建设有中国特色社会主义教育事业的一个重要方面。
（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(正确答案：Education, as a social activity to cultivate people, is essential to the development of human beings, and it also serves as the prerequisite for the advancement of human society. Basically, the development and prosperity of a particular country depends on the quality of its people, which can be improved by education. If education is the foundation of a nation, teachers are the founders. Education should be emphasized and promoted for the rejuvenation of Chinese nation, which brings about new requirements for teachers, both as individuals and as acareer. Great trust can only be given to people with self-discipline and social commitment. In this way, the improvement of teachers' professional ethics in modern time serves as an important aspect in the cause of socialism education with Chinese characteristics.)解析：解析：1．第一句较长，需根据逻辑关系进行翻译。
其中前半部分“教育是培养人的社会活动”阐明了教育的定义，后半部分“是人类自身发展所必需的，也是人类社会得以发展的必要条件”指出了教育的重要作用。
翻译时可以使用介词短语作插入语的方式引出教育的定义，再通过is essential to和serves as the prerequisite：来表示“必需的”和“必要条件”，此处应注意语言的多样性，宜采用不同的句式来表达。
2．第二句中两次出现了“国民素质”的提法，为了避免重复，使中文译本更加简洁明了，可使用定语从句。
3．第四句中的“教师及教师职业”可以用both as individuals and as a career后置，进行补充说明。
4．第五句较长，可以拆分成两句进行翻译。
先谈“厚德载物”，再谈“厚德载物”与“现代教师的职业道德修养水平”之间的关系。
需要注意的是，两句之间存在逻辑联系，可以使用In this way 来进行衔接。
翻译成语“厚德载物”时，首先要明确其在文本中的含义：道德高尚的人能够承担起重大的任务。
此处可以采用意译法，用self-discipline and social commitment来表示“厚德”，用great trust can only be given to sb．来表示“载物”。
4.人类文明迄今已经历了原始文明、农业文明和工业文明，目前，人类社会正处在由工业文明向生态文明的转型期。
工业文明是以经济快速发展、社会财富不断快速增长为标志，极大地满足人们对物质的需求。
由于工业文明的快速发展，中国已成为世界制造业大国，随之而来的是资源的过度开采，特别是在科技水平不高的条件下，形成资源的高开采、高耗能、高排放、低产出。
我国是一个资源相对贫穷的国家，无论是矿产资源、淡水资源、还是森林资源，人均拥有量远低于世界水平。
资源的瓶颈直接约束着我国经济社会的可持续发展，倡导生态文明势在必行。
（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(正确答案：Industrial civilization is marked by a rapid economic growth, and a constant increase of social wealth in a fast pace, and it greatly satisfies human beings' material needs. Due to the fast development of industrial civilization, China has become a manufacturing giant. However, the subsequent over-exploitation of resources, especially the one under low-tech conditions, leads to a phenomenon featuring by excessive mining, high energy consumption, high emissions and low productivity. China is a country which is relatively poor in natural resources, and Chinese people's per capita share of resources is far below the world's average, be it mineral resources, fresh water or forest reserves. The bottleneck effect of resources restrains the sustainable development of China's economy and society, so the promotion of ecological civilization is imperative under this circumstance.)解析：解析：1．在翻译画线部分第一句时应注意避免词语的重复。

In Europe, this desire has found fulfillment(完成、成就) in the masterpieces of our music, art, literature and theatre.

——参考范本——【资格考试】2019最新整理-英语专业八级翻译试题及一些翻译练习______年______月______日____________________部门全国英语专业八级考试（TEM8）的翻译部分（汉译英）原文全文如下：得病以前，我受父母宠爱，在家中横行霸道，一旦隔离，拘禁在花园山坡上一幢小房子里，我顿感打入冷宫，十分郁郁不得志起来。
一个春天的傍晚，园中百花怒放，父母在园中设宴，一时宾客云集，笑语四溢。
我在山坡的小屋里，悄悄掀起窗帘，窥见园中大千世界，一片繁华，自己的哥姐，堂表弟兄，也穿插其间，个个喜气洋洋。
一霎时，一阵被人摒弃，为世所遗的悲愤兜上心头，禁不住痛哭起来。
阅学生之译文，笔者发现有一个问题值得我们教师注意，即如何在动笔翻译前，能迅速正确地确定英译的主语。
如：1. 得病以前，我受父母宠爱，在家中横行霸道。
学生译文（以下简称“学译”）：Before the illness， I was much petted by parents， doing everything at will in the home.学译：Before I became ill， I have received all the favor of my parents， just like a little tyrant at home.参考译文：Before I fell ill， I had been the bully under our roofs owing to my doting parents.我们知道，汉语表达大多为“意合”结构，结构松散，以一个一个看似并列的短句“拼凑而成，彼此逻辑关系不明显；但英语则不同于汉语，它是形合语言，非常讲究句子内部的逻辑关系的”外化“，所谓”外化“，即，使用Connectives来表现其逻辑关系。
我国译界有一个比喻：汉语句子的结构像”竹竿“，是一节接一节的；而英语句子则像”葡萄“，主干很短，而”挂“在上面的附加成分则很多。

白墙、黑瓦、宝蓝色的漏窗泛出晶莹的光辉，里面的灯光从漏窗中透出来，那光线也变得绿莹莹的。
清风吹来，树枝摇曳，灯光闪烁变幻，好像有一个童话般的世界深藏在围墙的里面。
抬起头来从墙顶上往里看，可以看到主建筑的黑色屋顶翘在夜空里，围墙也变得不像墙了，它带着和主建筑相似的风格进入了整体结构。

The white wall, black tiles and sapphire windows were all suffused with sparkling brilliance while the light that filtered out through the patterned blocks was transformed to a shining emerald green. A light breeze blew, swaying the tree branches and making the rays of light glimmer and dance as if a fairytale world were hidden deep within. Above the wall one could see the black roof of the building inside jutting into the night air, so that the wall suddenly seemed to transform, melting into the main building whose style it matched to perfection. The nearby road seemed to have changed too, as if it were the entrance to a scenic area or a cultural palace.) 解析：解析：1．本段为描写文，采用一般过去时或一般现在时为总体时态均可，但必须注意整个段落的时态要一致。
英语专业八级考试翻译部分历届试题及参考答案
1995年英语专业八级考试简.奥斯丁的小说都是三五户人家居家度日，婚恋嫁娶的小事。
因此不少中国读者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的声誉。
但一部小说开掘得深不深，艺术和思想是否有过人之处，的确不在题材大小。
有人把奥斯丁的作品比作越咀嚼越有味道的橄榄。
这不仅因为她的语言精彩，并曾对小说艺术的发展有创造性的贡献，也因为她的轻快活泼的叙述实际上并不那么浅白，那么透明。
史密斯夫人说过，女作家常常试图修正现存的价值秩序，改变人们对“重要”和“不重要”的看法。
也许奥斯丁的小说能教我们学会转换眼光和角度，明察到“小事”的叙述所涉及的那些不小的问题。
参考译文：颜林海Jane Austin’s novels tell about such things unimportant as life, love and marriage in a few families that many Chinese readers do not understand why she has enjoyed such a high reputation in the western countries. But subject matter is indeed not the decisive factor by which we can judge whether or not a novel has its depth, or whether or not it has something superior to others in its artistic appeal and ideological content. Some people compare Austin’s works to olives: the more you chew them, the tastier you feel them. It is not only because of her wonderful language as well as her creative contribution to the development of novel writing as an art, but also because of something that her light and lively narrative hides——something implicit and opaque. Mrs Smith once said, women writers often tried to rectify the existing value orders, and to change people’s opinions on “what’s important or not”. Maybe Austin’s novels can teach us how to change our perspective and vision, really to dig those things important through the narrative of the ones unimportant.E-C原文I, by comparison, living in my overpriced city apartment, walking to work past putrid sacks of street garbage, paying usurious taxes to local and state governments I generally abhor, I am rated middle class. This causes me to wonder, do es the measurement make sense? Are we measuring only that which is easily measured--- the numbers on the money chart --- and ignoring values more central to the good life? For my sons there is of course the rural bounty of fresh-grown vegetables, line-caught fish and the shared riches of neighbours’orchards and gardens. There is the unpaid baby-sitter for whose children my daughter-in-law baby-sits in return, and neighbours who barter their skills and labour. But more than that, how do you measure serenity? Sense of self?I don’t want to idealize life in small places. There are times when the outside world intrudes brutally, as when the cost of gasoline goes up or developers cast their eyes on untouched farmland. There are cruelties, there is intolerance, there are all the many vices and meannesses in small places that exist in large cities. Furthermore, it is harder to ignore them when they cannot be banished psychologically to another part of town or excused as the whims of alien groups --- when they have to be acknowledged as “part of us.”Nor do I want to belittle the opportunities for small decencies in cities --- the eruptions of one-stranger-to-another caring that always surprise and delight. But these are, sadly, more exceptions than rules and are often overwhelmed by the awful corruptions and dangers that surround us.比较而言，我住在在收费不菲的城市公寓里，步行去工作还得经过恶臭的街头圾袋，向我一向讨厌的地方政府和州政府缴纳高利贷式税收，竟然还被认定为中产阶级。

它主张率性而行，适情而止，每个人都保持自己的真性情。
你不是你所信奉的教义，也不是你所占有的物品，你之为你仅在于你的真实“自我”。
生命的意义不在于奉献或占有，而在创造，创造就是人的真性情的积极展开，是人在实现其本质力量时所获得的情感上的满足。
2、当今世界正处在深刻变革与调整之中。
多极化和全球化继续深入发展，国与国之间互相联系日益紧密，利益交融，休戚与共。

应对挑战，维护和平，促进发展已成为国际社会面临的紧迫而艰巨的任务。
3、有时候，我想，一个秘密对自己亲人隐瞒长达十几年乃至一辈子，这是不公平的。
但如果不这样，你的国家就有可能不存在，起码有不存在的危险，不公平似乎也只有让他不公平了。
多少年来，我就是这样想的，或许也只有这样想，我才能理解珍弟，否则珍弟就是一个梦，白日梦，睁眼梦，梦里的梦，恐怕连擅长释梦的他自己都难以理解这个奇特又漫长的梦了……4、为了看日出，我常常早起。
那时天还没有大亮，周围非常清静，船上只有机器的响声。
天空还是一片浅蓝，颜色很浅。
转眼间天边出现了一道红霞，慢慢地在扩大它的范围，加强它的亮光。
我知道太阳要从天边升起来了，便目不转眼地望着那里。
果然过了一会儿，在那个地方出现了太阳的小半边脸，红是真红，却没有亮光。
这个太阳好像负着重荷似地一步一步、慢慢地努力上升，到了最后，终于冲破了云霞，完全跳出了海面，颜色红得非常可爱。
5、中国民俗文化村是国内第一个荟萃各民族的民间、民俗风情和民居建筑于一园的大型文化游览区。
它坐落在风光秀丽的深圳湾畔，占地18万平方米。

湖是大地的眼睛，湖是一种流动的深情，湖是生活中没有被剥夺的一点奇妙。
早在幼年时候，一见到北海公园的太液池，我就眼睛一亮。
在贫穷和危险的旧社会，太液池是一个意外的惊喜，是一种奇异的温柔，是一种孩提式的敞露与清流。
我常常认为，大地与人之间有一种奇妙的契合。
山是沉重的责任与名节的矜持；海是浩渺的遐思与变易的丰富；沙漠是希望与失望交织的庄严的等待；河流是一种寻求、一种机智、一种被辖制的自由……正确答案：I love lakes. For they are the eyes of the mother earth: they are the flowing deep love: and they are the wonders surviving in our life. As early as I was still a kid, I was always lit up at the sight of Lake of Taiye in Beihai Park. In the society stricken by poverty and full of danger, Lake of Taiye was an unexpected surprise, a kind of fantastic tenderness as well as a kind of childlike openness and purity. I often think that the land bears a marvelously harmonious relationship with us people: mountains stand for the great responsibility and the reserved reputation and integrity: seas for the illimitable thoughts and inexhaustible changes: deserts for the solemn expectation interweaved with hope and despair: and rivers for the spirit of pursuit, wisdom and restricted freedom...解析：这段材料选自著名作家王蒙的散文《湖》。

哲学是言而不是行。
哲学家断乎改变不了自然与社会。
是不能也，非不为也。
哲学不是科学技术，不是生产力。
哲学是怀疑，是思虑，是静观，是探索。
严格来说，哲学不是解释宇宙，那是自然科学的事。
哲学家至多只能解释人生，解释自己，解释文本。
哲学也不是知识，不是知识体系，不是儿何学，物理学那样一大套公理、公式，可以解决实际生存问题。
哲学的精神永远是探究、怀疑、发问、深思；而不是提供现存答案。
哲学家有些不食人间烟火，他远离田野车间，甚至也不拿天文望远镜观察天体，而只是坐存静湍的书斋罩读书、思考、思考那究竟至极、虚无缫渺的本体问题。
哲学家孤苦伶仃，独处一室之中。
面对古往今来的大哲学家遗留下来的问题，他苦苦沉思。
他唯一的财富是文本，哲学因而就是解释文本，而不是解释宇宙。
哲学家只是一味地同古往今来的灵魂交谈——他读书，是同古昔人物交谈：他写作，是同子孙后代奁谈；他讲演，是同莘莘学子交谈；他沉思是同自己交谈。
他长于洞见，洞见未来；他善于遐想，遐想无限；他耽于梦幻，幻游彼岸；他富于关怀，关怀永恒。
他同远在天涯的哲人和精神交谈，在这个意义上，他视通万里，思接千载。
他伟大，他不朽，他同古往今来的灵魂对话。
以哲学为命运的人应当准备在崎岖小路上独行，没有目的，也不会有黄金滚滚而来。
告别鲜花、头衔、掌声和奖品，钟情于思，就会有真哲学。
（分数：10.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：()解析：To some extent, philosophers tend to refrain from any secular involvements. A philosopher seldom frequents farmlands or factories, and he even never bothers to look through a telescope to make any observation of celestial bodies. He is only fond of staying in his personal library, in all its quietude, where he indulges himself in book reading and in musing, pondering on those intangible onto logical issues that he deems to be of ultimate significance. A philosopher is willing to surrender himself to utter loneliness and seclusion, confining himself to a room of his own, in a state of overwhelming solitude. In the face of the philosophical issues left over by great philosophical thinkers, ancient and modem, he contemplates painstakingly. The only wealth to his possession is texts. Therefore, the task of philosophy is to interpret texts rather than to interpret the universe. A philosopher is solely concerned with conducting dialogues with the great souls from ancient antiquity to the contemporary era. In reading books, he converses with the ancients. In writing his own books, he converses with the progeny. In delivering lectures, he converses with a multitude of young students. In contemplating, he converses with himself.二、{{B}}SECTION B English TO Chinese{{/B}}(总题数：1，分数：10.00)2.The effect of any writing on the public mind is mathematically measurable by its depth of thought.{{U}} How much water does it draw?

The way to speak and write what shall not go out of fashion is. to speak and write sincerely. The argument which has not power to reach my own practice, I may well doubt, will fail to reach yours. But take Sidney's maxim: --"Look in thy heart, and write." He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity. The writer who takes his subject from his ear, and not from his heart, should know that he has lost as much as he seems to have gained, and when the empty book has gathered all its praise, and half the people say, "What poetry! What genius!" it still needs fuel to make fire. {{/U}}That only profits which is profitable, Life alone can impart life; andthough we should burst, we can only be valued as we make ourselves valuable.（分数：10.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：()解析：那么计算标准是什么呢?如果一部作品发人深省，如果它以其伟大雄辩的声音令你有醍醐灌顶之感，那么该作品对人类思想的影响便是宽广、渐进、永恒的。
