翻译硕士考研真题

翻译硕士考研真题Master's Admission Exam Translation (700 words)Note: This translation is based on a given prompt and does not include any additional context or details. The translated text may not fully capture the original meaning or intention of the source material.原文:justify longevity in the 20th century highlights the durability of many infectious disease microbes andchronic degenerative diseases. These latter are diseases that generate aging. The latter include alarge variety of geriatric diseases such as cardiovascular, inflammatory, endocrine and neurologicaldiseases. Despite technological advances, their abolition appears distant. This is why the longevitythreshold appears to be a variable to be restricted due to its limitations and implications. In the case ofthe contagious diseases, smallpox is the first disease to be eradicated and is followed by othersincluding polio. There is no need to analyze it anymore since it was officially declared eradicated bythe World Health Organization in 1980. The consequences generated by societies are massive asmany millions of dollars are invested every year in disease containment or prevention. At this point,larger older people blockages should be expected. In this sense, jobs must be generated to balancethe population pyramid and prolonged longevity. The removal of barriers to voluntary migration is anecessary condition that would make it possible to adjust the productivity of older adults. This isone of the main reasons why laws have advocated, for some years now, promoting the maintenanceof maximum possible health in an aging population. In view of the many advances made in thefield of bioengineering, it now seems essential to focus more on certain ethical principles that shouldensure the application of these scientific advances to the common good. Some have alreadypointed out the importance of making a more inclusive society possible, which respects andprotects the rights and dignity of all its members. It would be necessary, then, to establish, by law orconvention, that no scientifically feasible intervention should be classified as a disease, adisability or a signal of growing old. Ignoring these risks involved in the extension of life, ifthey were chosen, would jeopardize our commitment to the dignity of our lives, even if some humanscontinue to support the fantasy of living forever.。

Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on " persuasive salesmanship" to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then to convert them into money.Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.This concept does not imply that business is benevolent or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction—the firm and the customer—and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled!31.The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence, ______.(A)a form of persuasive salesmanship(B)the customer-centred approach(C)making goods available for purchase(D)the practice of turning goods into money32.What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?(A)The needs of the market.(B)The preferences of the dealer.(C)The efficiency of production.(D)The satisfaction of the user.33.According to Paragraph One, "to move as much of these goods as possible" means______.(A)to redesign these goods for large-scale production(B)to transport goods as efficiently as possible(C)to sell the largest possible amount of goods(D)to dispose of these goods in large quantities34.What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?(A)Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.(B)Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.(C)It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.(D)Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.35.In discussing the marketing concept, the author focuses on______.(A)its social impact(B)its theoretical basis(C)its possible consequence(D)its main characteristicMost of us are taught to pay attention to what is said—the words. Words do provide us with some information , but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message. Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. We don't always say what we mean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words don't mean anything except " I'm letting off some steam. I don't really want you to pay close attention to what I'm saying. Just pay attention to what I'm feeling. " Mostly we mean several things at once. A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner, " This step has to be fixed before I'll buy. " The owner says, " It's been like that for years. " Actually, the step hasn't been like that for years, but the unspoken message is: "I don't want to fix it. We put up with it. Why can't you?" The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it, when it occurred, the related conditions or situation, and how it was said.The time when a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing. But onecouple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss. The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior. A friend's unusually docile behavior may only be understood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness. Some responses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses and defy logic. For example, a person who says " No!" to a series of charges like " You're dumb," "You're lazy," and "You're dishonest," may also say "No|" and try to justify his or her response if the next statement is "And you're good looking.We would do well to listen for how messages are presented. The words, " It sure has been nice to have you over," can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically. The phrase can be said once or repeated several times. And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes.36.Effective communication is rendered possible between two conversing partners,if______.(A)they use proper words to carry their ideas(B)they both speak truly of their own feelings(C)they try to understand each other's ideas beyond words(D)they are capable of associating meaning with their words37."I'm letting off some steam" in Paragraph One means______.(A)I'm just calling your attention(B)I'm just saying what I don't really want to say(C)I'm just saying the opposite(D)I'm just giving off some sound38.The house-owner's example shows that he actually means______.(A)the step has been like that for years(B)he doesn't think it necessary to fix the step(C)the condition of the step is only a minor fault(D)the cost involved in the fixing should be shared39.Some responses and behaviors may appear very illogical, but are justifiableif______.(A)linked to an abnormal amount of assertiveness(B)seen as one's habitual pattern of behavior(C)taken as a developing pattern of responses(D)expressed to a series of charges40.The word " ritualistically" in the last paragraph equals something done______. (A)without true intention(B)light-heartedly(C)in a way of ceremony(D)with less emphasisThe establishment of the Third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The compete destruction of democracy, the persecution of Jews, the war on religion, the cruelty and barbarism of the Nazis, and especially the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war.While speaking out against Hitler's atrocities, the American people generally favored isolationist policies and neutrality.The Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the President was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion.American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt's " quarantine the aggressor" speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler's policies. Germany's seizure of Austria and the Munich Pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia (1938) also aroused the American people.The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March, 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the Third Reich. In August, 1939 came the shock of the Nazi-Soviet Pact and in September the attack on Poland and the outbreak of European war.The United States attempted to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the democracies arrayed against the Third Reich. The Neutrality Act of 1939 repealed the arms embargo and permitted "cash and carry" exports of arms to belligerent nations.A strong national defense program began.A draft act was passed (1940) to strengthen the military services. A Lend-Lease Act (1941) authorized the President to sell, exchange, or lend materials to any country deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain by exchanging certain overage destroyers for the right to establish American bases in British territory in the Western Hemisphere. In August 1940, President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war.In December 1941, Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor. Immediately thereafter, Germany declared war on the United States. 41.One item occurring before 1937 that the author does NOT mention in his list of actions that alienated the American public was______.(A)the burning of the Reichstag(B)German plans for conquest(C)Nazi barbarism(D)the persecution of religious groups42.The Lend-Lease Act was designed to______.(A)help the British(B)strengthen the national defense of the United States(C)promote the Atlantic Charter(D)avenge Pearl Harbor43.American policy during the years 1935 ~ 1936 may be described as being______. (A)watchful(B)isolationist(C)peaceful(D)indifferent44.The Neutrality Act of 1939______.(A)permitted the selling of arms to belligerent nations(B)antagonized Japan(C)permitted the British to trade only with the Allies(D)led to Lend-Lease Act45.The United States entered the war against Germany ______.(A)because Germany declared war(B)because Japan was an ally of Germany(C)after Germany had signed the Nazi-Soviet Pact(D)after peaceful efforts had failedA controversy erupted in the scientific community in early 1998 over the use of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) fingerprinting in criminal investigations. DNA fingerprinting was introduced in 1987 as a method to identify individuals based on a pattern seen in their DNA, the molecule of which genes are made. DNA is present in every cell of the body except red blood cells.DNA fingerprinting has been used successfully in various ways, such as to determine paternity where it is not clear who the father of a particular child is. However, it is in the area of criminal investigations that DNA fingerprinting has potentially powerful and controversial uses. DNA fingerprinting and other DNA analysis techniques have revolutionized criminal investigations by giving investigators powerful new tools in the attempt to prove guilt, not just establish innocence. When used in criminal investigations, a DNA fingerprint pattern from a suspect is compared with a DNA fingerprint pattern obtained from such materials as hairs or blood found at the scene of a crime. A match between the two DNA samples can be used as evidence to convict a suspect.The controversy in 1998 stemmed from a report published in December 1991 by population geneticists Richard C. Lewontin of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. , and Daniel L. Haiti called into question the methods to calculate how likely it is that a match between two DNA fingerprints might occur by chance a-lone. In particular, they argued that the current method cannot properly determine the likelihood that two DNA samples will match because they came from the sameindividual rather than simply from two different individuals who are members of the same ethnic group.In response to their criticisms, population geneticists Ranajit Chakraborty of the University of Texas in Dallas and Kenneth K. Kidd of Yale University in New Haven, Conn. , argued that enough data are already available to show that the methods currently being used are adequate. In January 1998, however, the federal Bureau of Investigation and laboratories that conduct DNA tests announced that they would collect additional DNA samples from various ethnic groups in an attempt to resolve some of these questions. And, in April, a National Academy of Sciences called for strict standards and system of accreditation for DNA testing laboratories.46.Before DNA fingerprinting is used, suspects______.(A)would have to leave their fingerprints for further investigations(B)would have to submit evidence for their innocence(C)could easily escape conviction of guilt(D)could be convicted of guilt as well47.DNA fingerprinting can be unreliable when______.(A)the methods used for blood-cell calculation are not accurate(B)two different individuals of the same ethnic group may have the same DNA fingerprinting pattern(C)a match is by chance left with fingerprints that happen to belong to two different individuals(D)two different individuals leave two DNA samples48.To geneticists like Lewontin and Hartl, the current method______.(A)is not so convincing as to exclude the likelihood that two DNA samples can never come from two individuals(B)is arguable because two individuals of the same ethnic group are likely to have the same DNA pattern(C)is not based on adequate scientific theory of genetics(D)is theoretically contradictory to what they have been studying49.The attitude of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shows that______.(A)enough data are yet to be collected from various ethnic groups to confirm the unlikelihood of two DNA samples coming from two individual members(B)enough data of DNA samples should be collected to confirm that only DNA samples from the same person can match(C)enough data are yet to be collected from various ethnic groups to determine the likelihood of two different DNA samples coming from the same person(D)additional samples from various ethnic groups should be collected to determine that two DNA samples are unlikely to come from the same person50.National Academy of Sciences holds the stance that______.(A)DNA testing should be systematized(B)only authorized laboratories can conduct DNA testing(C)the academy only is authorized to work out standards for testing(D)the academy has the right to accredit laboratories for DNA testing How to answer interview questions?To start, take a tip from consultants who coach executives on how to handle media interviews. They say you can deliver the message you want to an employer, regardless of the question you're asked."Unlike some politicians, who take no notice of press questions and immediately introduce a different topic in response, job candidates must answer employers' queries," says John Barford of the interview training firm Genesis. "However, you can quickly make the transition from your answer to the important points you want to convey about your qualifications," he says.He advises candidates at job interviews to apply the formula Q = A + 1 : Q is the question; A is the answer; + is the,fridge to the message you want to deliver; and 1 is the point you want to make.Diligent preparation is also necessary to effectively answer any interview question, say senior executives. They give a number of useful tips: -Learn as much as you can beforehand. Ask company employees questions prior to job interviews to gain as much insight as you can. If the company is publiclyowned, find out how viable it is by reading shareholder reports. You can then tailor what you say to the company's issues.Be prepared for questions that require you to show how you handled difficult challenges. These questions require stories in response, but as it's unlikely that you'll have one that fits every situation, try to recall some from your past experience that show how you coped with a range of issues.Count on being asked about a past mistake or blemish on your career record, and don't try to dodge the issue. Ms. Murphy, president of the Murphy Group, a media interview training firm, says that it's important to steer clear of lies at all costs. Just answer the question and move on.When discussing a mistake, focus on the positive outcomes. " You learn as much by dropping the ball as you do by catching it," says senior executive Mr. Friedmann. When he was being interviewed for his current job, he mentioned he had been involved in many successful turnarounds and one that failed. " And I said how I'd benefited in many ways from going through that experience," he says.Answer the following questions, using NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER from the text for each answer.51.According to the writer, what do some politicians ignore?52.To allow them to communicate their main points, what are interviewees recommended to follow?53.From whom do senior executives advise candidates to request information before an interview?54.What does the head of an interview training firm advise people to avoid telling?55.What do senior executives advise candidates to focus on when talking about a past mistake?写作---为题目类型56.Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed because of technology.

How Technology Affects Human RelationshipsIt’s great that we have the technology to connect with people across the globe instantly, but there’s also a sense of disconnection. If there’s an internet-capable device with a screen anywhere nearby, the immediate world doesn’t get our full attention. Therefore, the long-term impact of technology on personal interactions is not a positive trend.Technology makes conversations context shortage. One issue with technology and relationships is the inability to detect tone. I can’t really know when someone is being sarcastic, serious or joking. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wondered what someone meant by their words—whether on social media, in a text or over email. Unless I see the person’s face, hear their voice and understand the environment, I have no idea the context surrounding the written words. Misunderstandings, miscommunications and assumptions result, which have an impact on how we view others.Technology fails to deliver essential personal touch. Sometimes I just need a hug, a handshake or a pat on the back. Once in a while, I get "stickers" and "emojis" on social media. Those symbol or smiley face is cute, but it doesn’t make me feel a personal connection with the poster. Do you use technology to pet your dog or cat? Not likely. Sometimes we fail to realize that, as humans, we’re also animals that need personal touch.Technology-addiction can lead to cocooning. For addicting to the convenience brought by technology, some people stay at home and become mouse potato. Technology takes them out of the physical world. And like many addictions, there are serious implications on number and quality of human relationships. Conversations through social media and email take the place of traditional interactions and discussions; eventually, a person doesn’t need to leave the house to communicate with others. This phenomenon leads to social isolation that can be crippling for some people.All in all, technology paints a pretty gloomy picture on human interaction. But it teaches us the value of balancing our offline and online communications with others. I believe the best approach is to use technology appropriately, so that it supplements our relationships rather than replaces them.。

在形式和句式上,要求翻译150词左右的一个或几个段落,较英语(一)翻译五个划线句子,连贯性强,使得理解更容易;由于英语(二)的翻译部分属于段落翻译,而英语这门语言的在行文的上具有长短相间的特点,这便降低了英语(二)翻译部分整体上的难度,使得句式不像在英语(一)中那样,五句话句句长难句。
在体裁上,考查考生理解所给英语材料并将其译成汉语的能力,内容上较为生活化,,涉及很多生活领域中的知识,对于考生来说,更加易于理解和把握。
在分值上,满分为15分,根据文章相关部分的具体情况分配。
相对于英语(一)翻译部分考察要求,主要在于表达方面。
英语表述逻辑和汉语有差别,在翻译过程中进行语言转换时,需要借助翻译技巧。
常见的句子翻译技巧很多,包括长句化短,语序的调整,被动语态以及各类从句的翻译等。
考生们只需要满足大纲中提供的六字翻译标准,即“准确、完整、通顺”。
如果说理解是在原文中选义的过程,那么表达就是在译文中选词的过程,即在译文中寻找最恰当的表达方法。
经历六年的考查,考研英语(二)翻译的难度浮动趋于稳定,一般没有大范围的难度浮动,对于在英语(二)中“性价比”相对高的题型,各位考生要重视这15分,按照老师的指导科学地备考完全可以达到考研的要求,拿到理想的分数。
考研英语二同样侧重对学生英语阅读和写作能力的考察。
同英语一相比,英语二在阅读能力的考察上有六点要求: (1)理解主旨要义; (2)理解文中的具体信息; (3)理解语篇的结构和上下文的逻辑关系; (4)根据上下文推断重要生词或词组的含义; (5)进行一定的判断和推理; (6)理解作者的意图、观点或态度。
比英语一少了两点要求,分别是理解文中的概念性含义和区分论点和论据。
这说明英语二更侧重考生对文章主旨和结构的考察,我们在阅读过程中只要抓住文章的主题思想,理清文章脉络,答题时基本上就没有什么问题了。
翻译硕士(MTI)考研英语口译符号:字母、图像

翻译硕士(MTI)考研英语口译符号:字母、图像二、字母、图像Z 表示"人"people/person,因为"Z"看上去像个人头,它通常被写在一个词或符号的右上角。
例如:日本人:JZ。
C 表示政府,统治:governm ent,govern希腊字母C读/ga:ma/,近似government, 所以就用C来表示govern, governm ent。
governm ental officia l可以表示为CZP 表示政治:politic s, political希腊字母P读/pai/,近似politi cs, politic al。
那么politi cian就可以表示为 P ZE 表示总数:total, totally, entire, entirel y, on the whole, all in all, to sum up, ect. E 数学符号表示总值。
G 表示效率:efficie nt, effecti ve。
G为效率符号。
Q 表示"通货膨胀":inflati on因为这个符号酷似一个上升的气球。
A表示农业: agricul ture. agricul ture经常用到,所以用首字母代替。
B 表示商业:business。
C×表示冲突,矛盾:conflic t,confron tation "C×"中的"×"表示反对,字母"C"将反对的概念缩小为conflict 和confron tation。
W 表示工作,职业: work, employ等。
它是work的第一个字母。
所以WZ就可以用来表示wo rker, 而W(Z在字母上方表示emplo yer, 在字母下方表示e mployee)。

2018考研:翻译硕士,这个翻译不是“官”随着电视剧《亲爱的翻译官》的热播,“翻译”这一看起来既“高大上”又神秘莫测的工作引来观众的聚焦。
“翻译官”究竟是什么样的?他们可能是西装革履、帮助领导人向国际社会传递中国声音的外交官,也可能是鲜衣怒马、穿梭于各种名流酒会、能“hold”住全场的自由译者,还可能是日进斗金、出席大型国际会议、与发言几乎同步进行的同声传译。
无论大众眼中的“翻译官”什么样,在翻译行业,并无“官”之称。
翻译工作,看起来高端、高薪、上档次……其实在光鲜亮丽的背后,每一位译者,尤其是有“高级翻译”头衔的翻译硕士,都投入了常人难以坚持的辛苦与努力。
从荧幕走向现实,记者采访了多所高校的专家,揭秘真实的翻译硕士(MTI)专业。
MTI:从翻译职业背后的故事说起“我们做翻译的是普通劳动者,不适合用‘官’字来形容。
现在外文局对翻译有特定的职称评定体系,不过大家平时都是直接称呼我们‘翻译’。
在正式场合通常使用‘译员’这样的称呼;如果是笔译,也可称呼‘译者’。
”北京外国语大学高翻学院副院长李长栓表示,翻译工作并没有人们认为的那样“光芒万丈”,其实就是一个默默服务的行业。
“我们都很低调,在正式场合会身着正装,非正式场合穿着就随大流。
我们在提供服务时,力争不让大家感受到翻译的存在。
作为职业的翻译,我们仅仅是沟通双方的工作人员,不会以自己的言行举止或穿着打扮引起与会者注意。
”“同样,社会对同声传译的工作环境也有误解。
”李长栓解释说,会场上,同传人员向来都是“只闻其声,未见其人”的。
有一个叫作“同传厢”的小房间,是为同传人员专门设计的。
同传人员就在这个房间里,将接收到的内容翻译出来,通过麦克传到听众耳朵里。
“之所以被称为同传,是因为他们的翻译与发言几乎是同步的。
”每次翻译,都是新的挑战。
“无论是气候变化、医疗卫生,还是金融经济,每个领域都有无数专业知识、障碍需要跨越。
这就需要同传对会议背景有深入透彻的研究,花大量时间准备。
”李长栓介绍说。
翻译的准备工作,就像老师备课一样。
为了做好准备,“即使会议安排了娱乐活动,翻译人员也无暇享受。
”翻译行业要找准定位,那就是“服务”。
“如果按照口译的服务强度来衡量,按小时计费也无可厚非。
”北京语言大学高翻学院副院长许明说,同声传译从听懂到开始表达仅仅在分秒之间,同时还要继续听新的内容。
“说、听和理解是多重任务叠加的。
”这就需要“一心三用”,记忆力要如何分配、听到哪里开始传译,这都是同传人员要注意的。
即便是在酒会上“人前”的交替传译,也要将听到的内容尽快梳理,并流畅地表达出来。
虽然不用“同步翻译”,但因为在翻译时,观众期望值更高,所以需要有“hold”住全场的能力。
“当我们谈起翻译人员,谈的不是翻译匠,而是有思想的译者。
”北京第二外国语学院高翻学院院长程维强调说,翻译从来都不是从A语言到B语言的简单转换,而是一个译者语言能力、思维能力、学习能力甚至审美能力的综合体现。
如今技术、人工智能虽然极大提高了翻译的准确性,甚至改变了译者的工作模式,但只有译者才能真正沟通世界、重塑文明。
“想成为一名合格的翻译人员,研究生阶段能学到不少东西。
”程维说。
培养:与翻译行业仅一步之遥“台上一分钟,台下十年功。
”无论是“能让听众感觉到存在”的口译,还是“无声地出现在字里行间”的笔译,“利其器”都是走上这个行业前首先要做的事情。
那么,与这个行业仅一步之遥的MTI专业,如何培养学生呢?去年考上北外高翻的学生周洋,开学报到前的暑假已收到李长栓老师的“见面礼”——封名为“暑期必读书目”的邮件。
至今已读过数十本书的她,终于体会到了李老师的良苦用心。
想当翻译,先“练好内功”,才能厚积薄发。
“练好内功”是李长栓对每一届北外MTI学生的要求。
“北外高翻坚持‘三个并重’,即口译和笔译并重,知识和技能并重,教书和育人并重。
”李长栓说,口译和笔译并重,是高级翻译学院多年人才培养经验的总结。
在研一安排学生学习笔译课、交传课,研二专门学习同传。
“笔译是口译的基础,笔译课要稳扎稳打,不能一带而过。
”知识与技能并重,用李长栓的话讲,叫“两条腿走路”。
和周洋一样,每名即将入学的新生都会在入校前收到李长栓的书单,涉及英文写作、经济学、政治学、社会学、法律等学科内容,丰富庞杂。
入校以后,在日常的教学中,教师会将专业知识融入翻译教学的材料中,并要求学生两周读完一本指定的知识类书籍,提交读书报告。
李长栓说:“再优秀的译者,无论他的英语和翻译水平有多高,如果对话题没有足够的知识储备,也难以完整准确地完成翻译任务。
”对于技能,除了英汉互译、交传同传等专业技巧训练外,李长栓强调更多的是调查研究、深化理解的能力,即如何发现并解决问题。
课上,学生的一项重要任务就是通过网络或其他资料做调查研究,要求做到对原文特别是细节充分理解,并对文字内容作全面审校。
关于教书与育人,李长栓的做法是通过强制要求学生撰写译者注和严格遵循格式要求,让学生养成严谨认真的专业精神和生活态度,以及批判精神。
“翻译既需要会外语,又需要懂技巧,还需要懂专业。
三者当中,转换技巧可能是最不重要的,是翻译学习中的皮毛。
最重要的是语言能力和知识储备,特别是获取知识的能力。
”李长栓说。
进入研二,北语的刘碧玺开始陆续接手一些翻译工作。
现在的他已可以独当一面了。
“这在很大程度上要归功于研一的职业化训练和翻译实践类课程的学习。
”刘碧玺说,中国文化外译的项目至今让他记忆犹新。
项目分配时,他选择了项目经理的角色。
这虽然是学校老师设定的实践模拟项目,但让他第一次与一线翻译工作有了“亲密接触”,不仅了解了项目流程、人员分工,而且真正体会了做翻译的艰辛。
“光是译前准备就花了很长时间。
”刘碧玺说,找资料、提炼术语、制作任务表和时间表,花了两周时间。
小组共同把译文整理好后,又要盯着外国同学的母语审校,继续检查哪些地方翻译还不“地道”,再转给排版人员,考虑插入哪些元素可以“增加翻译的附加值”。
“类似这样的实践项目,北语有很多。
”许明介绍,北语翻译人才的培养特色非常鲜明,高翻学院一直坚持以项目为导向的职业翻译能力培养,在提升专业翻译技能的同时,也重视提高学生的综合素养。
北语一直坚持项目进课堂、中外学生共同翻译、中外联合审校等特色培养活动。
目前,北语高翻正在努力创造中外学生一比一的国际化、双语学习环境,力争培养更多中外语言服务和翻译研究人才。
北二外以“培养有思想的译者”为目标,注重学生翻译技能、职业素养、思维能力、跨文化交际能力的培养。
“技能方面主要培训学生的口笔译技巧及应用翻译技术的能力。
”北二外的翻译课堂上,许多老师就是优秀的译员,会通过实例系统地向学生传授口笔译技能。
高翻学院还成立“口译大队”,为喜爱口译、有口译特长的学生提供强化训练、实践观摩的机会。
“我们口译方向还专门开设了翻译行业入门及职业素养的课程,让学生能更快了解行业的真实情况。
当然,在强调以职业为导向培养应用型人才的同时,我们也重视提高MTI学生的人文素养,把学生培养成‘内知国情、外知世界’的文化摆渡人。
”定位:未来自己做主“翻译人员就像天鹅,你看他在湖面上优雅绰约,但在湖面下,他的脚在拼命地刨水。
”程维说,翻译是另一种形式的再创作。
如果考生喜欢和语言打交道,有较强的抗压能力,有志于中国文化的推广,乐于从事外交事业,并安于寂寞,可以尝试从事这项工作。
“当然也要有好奇心,善于发现各个领域的新动向,有超强的学习能力,能快速掌握百科知识。
”许明说。
“更要较真。
”李长栓反复强调“较真”两个字。
“不能觉得学了几年英语就能当翻译。
”李长栓认为,现在的翻译市场水平参差不齐,翻译人员往往缺乏专业精神,不求甚解,不懂得调查研究,闹出很多笑话,比如把“孔子”(Confucius)翻译成“孔修斯”,把“Chiang Kai-shek”(蒋介石)翻译为“常凯申”。
翻译对于每位MTI学生来说,不仅是一个职业称号,更是风险、责任。
只有精益求精,才能为这个行业交上一份满意答卷。
同时,许明希望考生摆正心态,不要只把目光投向口译,或者对笔译有偏见。
“结合自身实际情况,看自己更适合哪个专业,不要把口笔译的界限弄得太明确。
”许明说,笔译同样需要查证资料、搜集术语,深谙翻译规律、技巧和规则,并不会“低口译一等”。
“不要认为做笔译就没有前途。
”程维说,“尤其是在我们高度关注中国文化对外传播效度的今天,中译外高端笔译人才非常稀缺。
向世界介绍中国优秀的文学、哲学作品,我们不能只依靠汉学家。
”程维说。
翻译的执业资格证书为CATTI,考生在本科阶段可以考取证书的三级(初级),在MTI阶段,可考取二级。
“CATTI考试和研究生学习接轨,有一门可以免考。
”程维说。
备考MTI,往往没有明确的考试大纲。
考生要注意夯实翻译能力的基本功。
翻译能力,即中外文自由转换的能力。
但要做到“自由”并不容易。
毕竟英语和汉语属于不同语系,一个注重“形合”,而另一个注重“意合”。
如此一来,在互译时,除了基本的词汇和语法需要到位之外,考生还要尽早研究各种翻译技巧。
“考生对英文的背景文化也要有较深入了解。
”许明说,如果不了解中西方文化的差异和对应,即便单词背记再多,也不能翻译准确。
