英语专八翻译 真题

1998年英语专业八级考试--翻译部分参考译文C-E原文:1997年2月24日我们代表团下榻日月潭中信大饭店,送走了最后一批客人,已是次日凌晨3点了。

我躺在床上久久不能入睡,披衣走到窗前,往外看去,只见四周峰峦叠翠,湖面波光粼粼。

望着台湾这仅有的景色如画的天然湖泊,我想了许多,许多……这次到台湾访问交流,虽然行程匆匆,但是,看了不少地方,访了旧友,交了新知,大家走到一起,谈论的一个重要话题就是中华民族在21世纪的强盛。

虽然祖国大陆、台湾的青年生活在不同的社会环境中,有着各自不同的生活经历,但大家的内心都深深铭刻着中华文化优秀传统的印记,都拥有着振兴中华民族的共同理想。

在世纪之交的伟大时代,我们的祖国正在走向繁荣富强,海峡两岸人民也将加强交流,共同推进祖国统一大业的早日完成。

世纪之交的宝贵机遇和巨大挑战将青年推到了历史前台。

跨世纪青年一代应该用什么样的姿态迎接充满希望的新世纪,这是我们必须回答的问题。

日月潭水波不兴,仿佛与我一同在思索……参考译文:The current visit to Taiwan for exchange, brief and cursory as it is, has enabled us to see many places, to visit old friends while making new acquaintances. Whenever people gather together, an important topic of discussion has been how the Chinese nation can become prosperous and powerful in the 21st century. Although the young people on the Mainland and in Taiwan live in different social contexts (environments / milieus), with their individually different experiences of life, in the innermost recesses of their hearts are wrought an indelible mark by the fine traditions of the Chinese culture. They all cherish the same ideal to rejuvenate the Chinese nation (They share the same ideal to rejuvenate the Chinese nation). In this great epoch at the turn of the century, our motherland is developing toward greater prosperity and powerfulness. People across the Taiwan Straits are bound to strengthen their exchanges and will mutually promote the earliest possible achievement of the great cause of reunification of the motherland. The precious opportunities and the tremendous challenges at the turn of the century have pushed the young people to the foreground (forefront) of the historical arena (stage). At this transitional phase between the two millennia, in what way the young generation should embrace the forthcoming new century replete with hopes is a question to which we have to seek an answer.E-C原文:I agree to some extent with my imaginary English reader. American literary historians are perhaps prone to view their own national scene too narrowly, mistaking prominence for uniqueness. They do over-phrase their own literature, or certainly its minor figures. And Americans do swing from aggressive over phrase of their literature to an equally unfortunate, imitative deference. But then, the English themselves are somewhat insular in their literary appraisals. Moreover, in fields where they are not pre-eminent — e. g. in painting and music —they too alternate between boasting of native products and copying those of the Continent. How many English paintings try to look as though they were done in Paris; how many times have we read in articles that they re ally represent an “English tradition” after all.To speak of American literature, then, is not to assert that it is completely unlike that of Europe. Broadly speaking, America and Europe have kept step. At any given moment the traveler could find examples in both of the same architecture, the same styles in dress, the same books on the shelves. Ideas have crossed the Atlantic as freely as men and merchandise, though sometimes more slowly. When I refer to American habit, thoughts, etc., I intend some sort of qualification to precede the word, for frequently the difference between America and Europe (especially England) will be one of degree, sometimes only of a small degree. The amount of divergence is a subtle affair, liable to perplex the Englishman when he looks at America. He is looking at a country which in important senses grew out of his own, which in several ways still resembles his own — and which is yet a foreign country. There are odd overlappings and abrupt unfamiliarities; kinship yields to a sudden alienation, as when we hail a person across the street, only to discover from his blank response that we have mistaken a stranger for a friend.参考译文:那么,要谈论美国文学,倒并非意欲断言,它与欧洲文学全然大相径庭。

广而言之,美国与欧洲一直同步发展,协调一致。

在任何一个特定的时刻,旅行者在两地均能目睹同一样式的建筑实例,相同款式的服饰,书架上相同的书籍。

在大西洋两岸,思想如同人员与货物往来一样自由交流,尽管有时会略显迟缓。

当我提及美国式的习惯、思想等概念时,我意欲在“美国式的”这一词汇之前加上某种限定,因为欧美(尤其是英美)之间的差异往往只是程度上的差异而已,并且有时候仅仅只是微乎其微的一点程度差异而已。

差异的多寡是件极为微妙的事务,这极容易使一个英国人在审视美国时大惑不解。

他所审视的那个国家,从某些重要的意义上来说,诞生于他自己的国家,并在某些方面仍与他自己的国家相差无几——然而,它却实实在在是一个异邦。

两者间存在着某些古怪的交替重迭,以及令人甚感突兀的陌生感;亲缘关系已让位于一种突如其来的异化与疏远,这种情景仿佛就像我们隔着马路向另一个人打招呼,结果却从这个人漠无表情的反应中发现,我们原来竟将一个陌生人误认为我们的熟人。

1999年英语专业八级考试--翻译部分参考译文C-E原文:加拿大的温哥华1986年刚刚度过百岁生日,但城市的发展令世界瞩目。

以港立市,以港兴市,是许多港口城市生存发展的道路。

经过百年开发建设,有着天然不冻良港的温哥华,成为举世闻名的港口城市,同亚洲、大洋洲、欧洲、拉丁美洲均有定期班轮,年货物吞吐量达到8,000万吨,全市就业人口中有三分之一从事贸易与运输行业。

很难想象一个人们不在乎打理外表和身体清洁的时代。

或许这些卫生习惯始于亚当第一次洗澡梳头去赴夏娃的约;也也许始于夏娃第一次搽上青草制的化妆品使自己更美丽。

无论是从何时开始的, 仪容整洁与个人卫生已经成为每个人生活例行事务中重要的一部份。

你也许认为所有现代社会中的仪容整洁与卫生习惯都是同样的。

毕竟, 不是每一个人天天都要洗澡的吗?大部份人的确肯定卫生的必要性, 它是清洁与健康的基础, 也是维持友谊的好办法。

On the saint's eightieth birthday, the king was invited to his birthday celerbration. He brought with him a painter so as to do a picture of the kindly saint as a paragon for his countrymen. When the feast is over all the guests were asked to have a look at the picture. To their great surprise, when the picture was shown, what they saw was not a kind but a ruthless and cruel look. The king was very angry at seeing this and ordered his men to beat the painter. Upon hearing the noise, the saint rushed to the scene to have a look at the picture. After viewing it, the saint knelt down and said, "your majesty, the person in the picture is none other than me." Why?" said the king, dumbfounded. "This has been the very person whom I have never wanted to be."

不擅辞令、厌恶应酬的人,可以自由自在地徜徉于书林之中,游目四顾,俯拾皆友。

看书,可以博览,可以细嚼,没有人会怪你喜新厌旧,也没有人要求你从一而终。

你大可以从一本书换到另一本,喜爱的书,不妨一读再读;不耐看的书,又可随手抛下,谁也不会因此而伤心失望。

人际关系错综复杂,那“书际关系”呢?只要花点时间去了解,再高深的学问也弄得明白。

正确答案:It is much easier to choose a book than a friend. One who is poor at speech and shuns socializing will nevertheless feel like being surrounded by friends while sauntering freely in the midst of book. Books can be read cursorily, or chewed and digested. None will ever call you fickle-minded, and none will ever demand that you be constant in your affection. You can go from one book to another. And you can read your favorite book over and over again. When you lay aside the book you dislike, none will ever feet hurt or disappointed. While interpersonal relations are most complicated, what about your relations with books? Devote your time to studies, and you will be able to acquire any knowledge no matter how profound it is.解析:这段材料选自金圣华的《书与人》,题材有关读书之乐,是说明文体,用词讲究,出现了四字成语,因此正确领会原文含义,将意思既完整地翻译又符合英语表达习惯是重中之重。

因为中国几千年是封建社会,还有过半封建半殖民地的历史,中华人民共和国成立只有50年,50年怎么可能把所有问题都解决?但是我们愿意听取各方面的意见,特别是听取我国人民群众的意见。

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESETranslate the underlined part of the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.Grooming and personal hygiene have been around for ages. It's hard to imagine a time when people weren't concerned with taking care of their appearance and their bodies. Perhaps these practices started when Adam first took a bath and combed his hair before going on a date with Eve. Or maybe they began when Eve put on some herbal makeup to make herself more beautiful. No matter where they started, grooming and personal hygiene have become an important part of everyone's daily routine.You might think that all modern societies would have the same grooming and personal hygiene practices. After all, doesn't everybody take baths?Most people do recognize the need for hygiene, which is the basis for cleanliness and health-and a good way to keep one's friends. Grooming practices include all the little things people do to make themselves look their best, such as combing their hair and putting on makeup. However, while most modern people agree that these things are important, people in different cultures take care of themselves in different ways.2PART V TRANSLATION [60 MIN]SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the underlined part of the following text into English.

英语专业八级翻译试题真题英语专业八级翻译练习题1.英译汉(1)Possession for its own sake or in competition with the rest of the neighborhood would have been Thoreau's idea of the low levels. The active discipline of heightening one's perception of what is enduring in nature would have been his idea of the high. What he saved from the low was time and effort he could spend on the high. Thoreau certainly disapproved of starvation, but he would put into feeding himself only as much effort as would keep him functioning for more important efforts.梭罗所理解的"低层次",即为了拥有而去拥有,或与所有的邻居明争暗斗而致拥有。

他心目中的"高层次",则是这样一种积极的人生戒律,即要使自己对自然界永恒之物的感悟臻于完美。

对于他从低层次上节省下来的时间和精力,他可将其致力于对高层次的追求。

勿庸置疑,梭罗不赞成忍饥挨饿,但他在膳食方面所投入的精力仅果腹而已,只要可确保他能去从事更为重要的事务,他便别无所求。

Effort is the gist of it. There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging difficulties. Short of the impossible, as Yeats put it, the satisfaction we get from a lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties. Robert Frost was thinking in something like the same terms when he spoke of "The pleasure of taking pains". The mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be effortless.殚精竭虑,全力以赴,便是其精髓所在。

这是一笔巨款!)母亲作了半个月的难,把这巨款筹到,而后含泪把我送出门去。

SSS_TEXT_QUSTI该问题分值: 2答案:正确答案:For about two weeks, Mother suffered much and finally managed to raise the money, and then she sent me off to school with tears in her eyes.解析:“作了半个月的难”中的“作难”既有“费了很大劲去做……”,也暗含“为难”之义,故可译成suffer much或用struggle to do sth.的句型,体现出母亲筹钱的艰难。

2.手机刷新了人与人的关系。

SSS_TEXT_QUSTI该问题分值: 2答案:正确答案:Mobile phones have renewed the interpersonal relationships.解析:“刷新”此处实际上是“更新,换成新的”,故应译作renew或refresh;甚至可将语义更宽泛化,译为alter或是change。

此处不可按字面义译为refurbish“重新装饰”或是renovate“修复”或whitewash“粉刷”。

因为“人与人的关系”实指“人际关系”,应译为interpersonal relationships,而不应按字面译为people'srelations或relationship among human beings。

3.得病以前,我受父母宠爱,在家横行霸道,……SSS_TEXT_QUSTI该问题分值: 2答案:正确答案:Before I was taken ill, I had been a spoiled child of my parents, getting things my way in the family.解析:“横行霸道”一词的一般含义是“任意欺凌他人”之义,但是本例是以孩子的口气写的,因此限定了该词的具体含义是“为所欲为,想干什么就干什么”,主要反映了孩子的“稚气”和“顽皮”,因此没有任何“霸气”,可译为be so arrogant,be so aggressive或played my important role。
