参考译文:中国正面临着人口老龄化和低出生率这些发达国

家拥有的问题。在商业领域这些问题则显得更加紧迫。创业的一代人

正在老去,但他们很难说服自己的孩子来继承遗产,继续经营他们的

企业。对家族企业来说,落实一个清晰有效的继任计划(succession plan)是一个令人头痛的问题。虽然有很多原因能够解释这种不情愿继

任的情况,但商业环境的恶化(deterioration)已被证明是主要因素之一。

词句点拨:

1.中国正面临着人口老龄化和低出生率这些发达国家拥有的问题:“面临着”可用face表示,“面临着…的问题”可译为face the problem of;“人口老龄化既可译为population ageing,也可译为an ageing population。“发达国家拥有的问题”可用the developed world's problem of表示。

2.创业的一代人正在老去,但他们很难说服自己的孩子来继承遗产,继续经营他们的企业:“老去”即“变老”,可译get older。“难以做某事”可用固定表达方式have difficulty (in) doing sth 来表示,“很难说服自己的孩子”,可译为have great difficulty persuading their children。“继续经营他们的企业也就是使他们的企业能够继续经营下去”,故可译keep their business running。

3.对家族业来说,落实一个清晰有效的继任计划是一个令人头痛的问题:“家族企业”可译为family-run business,“国有企业”则为state-run business。

新四级汉译英段落翻译技巧

新四级汉译英段落翻译技巧 新四级汉译英段落翻译解题技巧 ?题型简介?基本要求?翻译技巧 题型简介 ?自2013年12月考次起,全国大学英语四级考试的翻译部分将由原单句汉译英调整文段落汉译英,翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等题材。 140~160词 基本要求 要求考生以词、句的翻译为基础,扩大到对整体段落的翻译的把握,段落内容相对完整、结构相对独立。翻译时要把整个段落当作一个有机的语篇,注意各句子之间的衔接和段落间的过渡。 翻译技巧 (一) 词的翻译 (二) 句的翻译 (三) 段落翻译 (一) 词的翻译 1. 词义选择 2. 词类转换 3. 词的增补 4. 词的省略 5. 词的替代 1.词义选择 (1)语境词?汉语有些词语的含义会因语境而发生微妙的变化,称之为“语境词”,应紧密结合上下文译成相应的词,不能按照原词的字面意思来译。?原文:手机刷新了人与人的关系。?译文:Cell phone have altered the relationship among people. ?分析:“刷新”此处实际是指“改变”,而并非是我们平常所指的含义,因此不宜译成refurbish或renovate,翻译为alter或 change更恰当。 (2) 表意模糊的词?原文: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. ?分析:“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”笼统,译为qualified graduates比较确切。 (3) 比喻词汇?汉语有许多比喻词汇,表面意义和喻指含义完全不同,英译时应跳出机械对应的思维定式,动态地译出其潜在含义。?原文:老师答应给这几个学生“吃小灶”。?译文:The teacher has promised to give these students special tuition. ?分析:“吃小灶”在这里指的是“个别辅导”。 2.词类转换 (1)动词?名词?英语动词受到形态变化规则的严格限制,大量本应该由动词表达的概念,常需借助于名词,因为名词不受形态规则的束缚,使用相对灵活、方便。?原文:吃头两个主菜时,也是赞不绝口。?译文:You"ll be full of praise while eating the first two main courses. ?分析:英语中有大量抽象名词表示行为或动作意义 advice,agreement,inheritance,knowledge,praise,use等。以上例句借助抽象名词表达了特定的行为动作,译文也显得较为地道。 (2)动词?介词?介词与名词密切相关,英语名词的广泛使用使得介词也频繁出现,而且英语中有些介词本身就是由动词演变来的。汉译英时,有些动词可以用介词来表达。?原文:人们常用剪纸美化环境。?译文:People often beautify their homes with paper cuttings. (3)动词?形容词?汉语的一些动词常常用形容词来表达,这些形容词通常是与动词同源的词(如dreamful,doubtful,sympathetic 等),这样的译文有时会更地道、标准。?原文:在明朝和清朝时期特别流行。?译文:It was widespread particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

英语四级翻译段落

翻译段落 ㈠原文: 在我的生活里,我也尝试过很多次试着放手。虽然,学会放手不会减轻生活里的伤痛或是改变什么,也不会让你的情绪得以发泄,也许你仍然会被生活所困。然而,富有同情心是一种释放。会让你和感受到你同情心的人得到精神上的洗礼。当你对一切都富有同情心时,你会发挥自己最大潜力。你也会在生活中觉得自己有无限的正能量。 译文: 在我的生活里,我也尝试过很多次试着放手。 I'm learning to do that a lot in this life, to let go. 大家是不是觉得很奇怪,明明汉语里倾向于过去式“尝试过”,但英文翻译过来就是I'm learning to do。可以留意下这种翻译方式,不过如果大家在考试时遇到这种情况,还是翻译成过去式比较好(如果你的翻译水平没有达到炉火纯青的地步的话,呵呵),因为阅卷老师也不是那种翻译大牛哦~ 放手:to let go 虽然,学会放手不会减轻生活里的伤痛或是改变什么,也不会让你的情绪得以发泄,也许你仍然会被生活所困。 It doesn't help to hang on to the hurt or judgment. It doesn't work to blame or criticize. Those approaches only serve to keep you stuck. 这里两个英文句子都用了形式主语it来代替前面提到过的“放手”,不繁琐,而且适合散文的风格。汉语只要语义衔接,可一直逗号下去,但英文,只要是结构完整,只能用句号或相应的标点哦。 减轻伤痛:to help to hang on to the hurt 被生活所困:keep sb stuck 然而,富有同情心是一种释放。会让你和感受到你同情心的人得到精神上的洗礼。 But compassion is freeing. It uplifts both you and the person you are sharing it with. 释放直接用了freeing,很简单,但很舒服。第二句话汉语读起来很绕,但

Overseas enterprises have not only helped Chinese enterprises with their growth, but also benefited from the cooperation.

According to statistics, the demands of Chinese consumers are shifting from the basic necessities of life to leisure, comfort and personal development.

14~15英语四级翻译真题及答案汇总

Chinese parents have frequently tended to pay too much attention to their children's study, so that children don’t help them do the housework. Their only requirement for their children is to study hard, perform well in the exams, and go to a famous/prestigious university. They believe it is good for their children, because in such a highly competitive society, only good results could ensure a promising future. Chinese parents also believe that parents will be honored if their children can achieve great success in society. Therefore, they are willing to sacrifice their own time, hobbies and interests, to create much better conditions for children. Lijiang, an ancient town of Yunnan Province, is one of the most famous tourist destinations. Its pace of life is slower than that of most cities of China. There are many natural beauties everywhere in Lijiang and many ethnical minorities provide tourists with a great variety of cultural experience. Lijiang is also well-known as the "city of love" in history. Many stories about life and dying for love have spreaded widely among the locals. Nowadays, for tourists home and abroad, the ancient town is regarded as a paradise of love and romance. The Annual Chinese Speech Contest for Foreigners was held in Changsha this year. The contest was proved to be a good way to promote cultural exchanges between China and other regions all over the world. It provides an opportunity for young people around the world to understand China better. A total of 126 players from 87 countries gathered in the capital of Hunan province to participate in the semi-final and the final from July 6th to August 5th. Competition is not the only activity.

大学英语四级新题型 段落翻译模拟题 11篇

大学英语四级翻译练习 第一篇农业 中国是一个农业大国,也是世界农业起源地之一。水稻rice和小麦wheat等农作物都原产自originate from/derive from中国。新中国成立后,政府十分重视农业生产,不断加大农业投入investment.input,加速了农业生产的现代化进程boost/strengthen/improve the process of agricultural modernization。因此,中国农业取得了辉煌的成就。中国各种农产品的产量增长很快,谷物、棉花cotton、花生(Peanut)的总产量均居世界首位rank the first in the world。依靠占世界不足10%的耕地(cultivatable land),中国养活了世界1/5以上的人口。 1.第2句为无被动标识词的被动句,翻译时要用被动语态,可译作 Crops such as rice and wheat were first produced in China。 2.第3句中的动作“十分重视”、“不断加大”是“新中国成立后”持续发生的动作,故该句 用现在完成进行时态。仔细分析发现,“十分重视……,不断加大……”为两个并列的动作作谓语,而“加速了……”则表结果,可处理为结果状语,故本句译为 the government has been paying close attention to... and increasing... to speed up…。 3.第4句中的“中国农业取得了辉煌的成就”可理解为“中国在农业方面取得了成就”,故 可译为China has made great achievements 、progress in agriculture。该句也可用“辉煌的成就”作主语,用被动语态表达,译作great achievements have been made in China's agriculture。 4.翻译最后一句“依靠……,中国……”时,可将后半句处理成主句,前半句为状语, 用介词短语With less than ten parent of the world's cultivatable land来表达,使句子主次分明、结构简洁紧凑。 参考答案: China is a big agricultural country and also one of the world's agricultural origins. Crops such as rice and wheat were first produced in China. After the founding of New China, the government has been paying close attention to agriculture and increasing investment to speed up the modernization of agricultural production. Therefore, China has made great achievements in agriculture. The outputs of various agricultural products grow at a fast rate and the total output of grains, cotton and peanuts tops /rank the first in the world. With less than ten percent of the world's cultivatable land, China manages to feed over one-fifth of the world's population. 第二篇龙的形象 中国人一直以自己是龙的传人(descendent)为豪。这种情感在中国文化和社会的各个方面都有所体现。从远古时代起,龙就被看作是具有庇佑能力并能影响人们生活的动物。古代的皇帝被看作是“真龙天子”,象征着尊严和权力。在民间流传着许多关于龙的传说和故事。还有各种与龙相关的民俗活动,其中最受欢迎的就是赛龙舟(Dragon Boat Race)。 1.第3句中的定语“具有庇佑能力并能影响人们生活的”较长,可将其处理成后置定语,用介词短语来表达;“具有......能力并能......”可合译成 a power to...and...;“动物”译为creature(生物、创造物)比animal更确切,因为“龙”并不是真正存在。 2.第4句中“象征着尊严和权利”是对“真龙天子”的补充说明,可将其处理成同位语,译为 a symbol of dignity and power。 3.倒数第2句为无主语句,省略了主语“人们”,该主语不需要被强调说明,故此句可译为被动句式,即Many legends and stories... are spread...。“关于龙的”可处理成后置定语,用介词短语about dragon表达。“在民间”为状语,可译作among the people,置于句末。 4.最后一句中的“其中”一词表示赛龙舟属于前面提到的folk activities,故“其中……赛龙舟”可处理成非限制性定语从句,用 among which 来引导,译
