2018年考研英语二翻译题型答题技巧
大家对于英语翻译是不是还头疼呢,是不是还是面对大段的汉语而无从下手呢,下面我来告诉大家考研英语二翻译技巧帮大家渡过难关。

英译汉就是运用汉语把英语所表达的内容准确而完整地重新表达出来的过程或结果。

在翻译过程中,值得注意的是:一在翻译需要表达的是句子或文章的内容,而不是结构;二翻译过程中,不是将两种语言的结构进行简单的转换。

翻译的过程一般分为阅读理解、汉语表达和审校润色三个阶段。

常见的方法有:
一、词类转译法由于英语和汉语是两中悬殊甚大的不同的语言体系,所以在语言结构与表达方式上都存在很大的差异,这就要求我们对原文中的一些词语的词性进行转化(如:动词转化为名词,形容词转化为名词等),才能使译文畅通。

例如:The modern world is experiencing rapid development of science and technology. 当今世界的科学技术正在迅速地发展。

[分析]将句中的形容词rapid转译为汉语中的副词。

二、增补法有些英语字句如果照字面的意思翻译,意念是不完整的,必须根据意义、修辞或句法的需要增补一些汉语,才能更加忠实于原文,使原文的思想更完整地再现。

例如:We need clean air,but unfortunately,air pollution is generally present,especially in cities. 我们需要清新的空气,但遗憾的是,空气污染普遍存在在城市中尤其如此。

分析:本句为了避免“尤其是在城市里”的表达不完整,增加了“如此”。

三、省译法由于英语和汉语在用词和语法结构上的差异,原文中的某些词如果直译出来会使译文显得累赘,不符合汉语的表达习惯。

在这种情况下,就要省略一些冠词、代词、介词或连词等省去不译,但是不能影响原文的意义表达。

例如:There was no snow,the leaves were gone from the trees,the grass was dead. 天未下雪,但叶落草枯。

[分析]在汉语中“叶落”的概念非常清楚,所以省译了from the trees。

四、顺译法也就是说按照英语表达的层次顺序,依次翻译英语句子,从而使译文与英语原文的顺序基本一致。

例如:He could see that she had been patient all her life,so that now,after years of it,her lips were set in a gentle and saintly smile. 他看得出,她一生含辛茹苦,如今苦尽甘来,嘴边总是带着温柔、圣洁的微笑。

[分析]英语句子的顺序,从意思上讲,与汉语句子的顺序是一致的。

五、逆译法也就是对于句子结构复杂的英语句子,可以先翻译全句的后部在依次向前逆序翻译前面的句子。

例如:It is our task to build up a nuclear power station somewhere by the
end of
this year. 我们的任务是于今年年底在某地建成一座原子能发电站。

[分析]翻译英语里面的一系列状语时,必须按照时间状语、地点状语和方式状语的顺序汉语习惯表达习惯来组织语句。

六、分译法也就是采取化整为零的方法将整个英语长句翻译为几个独立的句子,顺序基本不变,前后保持连贯。

例如:At the meeting decision was made to transfer a part of the students to another school. 会议上作出一项决定,把一部分学生转到另一所学校去。

[分析]本句的主语的后置定语比较长,而谓语很短,为了使句子结构匀称,避免头重脚轻的现象,就把后面的不定式与主句分开翻译了。

七、综合法也就是说翻译时经过仔细推敲,或按照时间先后,或按照逻辑顺序,有顺有逆、有主有次地对全句进行综合处理,英语和汉语的字面意思不完全对应,但是内涵是相同的。

例如:One can perhaps get a clearer picture of Japan’s acute population pressure by imagining what Switzerland would be like if that small and mountainous country were inhabited by 28 million people instead of the 5.7 million at present.只要设想一下,假若那小小的瑞士居住的人口不是现在的五百七十万,而是两千八百万,瑞士会是什么情景,人民便会清楚地理解日本所面临的人口压力是多么大。

[分析]原文的重点在于One can…population pressure,按照汉语习惯,应该先叙事,后总结,所以翻译时从中间by imagining…入手,最后回到句首,译出One can…。

而且汉语句子的意思也有“意译”的成分。

以上就是我为大家讲的考研英语二翻译技巧的相关内容,希望对于翻译头疼的同学们能够好好掌握,甩掉这个包袱。

2010年~2018年考研英语二翻译汇总

2010年~2018年考研英语二翻译汇总2010年46.Directions:Translate the following text from English into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15points)"Sustainability"has become a popular word these days,but to Ted Ning,the concept will always have personal meaning.Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability-oriented values must be expressed through everyday action and choice.Ning recalls spending a confusing year in the late1990s selling insurance.He'd been through the dot-com boom and burst and,desperate for a job,signed on with a Boulder agency.It didn't go well.“It was a really bad move because that's not my passion,”says Ning,whose dilemma about the job translated,predictably,into a lack of sales.“I was miserable,I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling.I had no money and needed the job.Everyone said,‘Just wait,you'll turn the corner,give it some time.’”2011年46.Directions:In this section there is a text in English.Translate it into Chinese.Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET2.(15points)Who would have thought that,globally,the IT industry produces about the same volume of greenhouse gases as the world’s airlines do—roughly2percent of all CO₂emissions?Many everyday tasks take a surprising toll on the environment.A Google search can leak between0.2and7.0grams of CO₂,depending on how many attempts are needed to get the“right”answer.To deliver results to its users quickly,then,Google has to maintain vast data centres around the world,packed with powerful computers.While producing large quantities of CO₂, these computers emit a great deal of heat,so the centres need to be well air-conditioned,which uses even more energy.However,Google and other big tech providers monitor their efficiency closely and make improvements.Monitoring is the first step on the road to reduction,but there is much more to be done,and not just by big companies.2012年46.Directions:Translate the following text from English into Chinese.Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET2.(15points)When people in developing countries worry about migration,they are usually concerned at the prospect of their best and brightest departure to Silicon Valley or to hospitals and universities in the developed world.These are the kind of workers that countries like Britain,Canada and Australia try to attract by using immigration rules that privilege college graduates.Lots of studies have found that well-educated people from developing countries are particularly likely to emigrate.A big survey of Indian households in2004found that nearly40% of emigrants had more than a high-school education,compared with around3.3%of all Indians over the age of25.This“brain drain”has long bothered policymakers in poor countries.They fear that it hurts their economies,depriving them of much-needed skilled workers who could have taught at their universities,worked in their hospitals and come up with clever new products for their factories to make.2013年46.Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)I can pick a date from the past53years and know instantly where I was,what happened in the news and even the day of the week.I’ve been able to do this since I was four.I never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain absorbs.My mind seems to be able to cope and the information is stored away neatly.When I think of a sad memory,I do what everybody does—try to put it to one side.I don’t think it’s harder for me just because my memory is clearer.Powerful memory doesn’t make my emotions any more acute or vivid.I can recall the day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the hospital the day before.I also remember that the musical play Hair opened on Broadway on the same day—they both just pop into my mind in the same way.2014年46.Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)Most people would define optimism as being endlessly happy,with a glass that’s perpetually half full.But that’s exactly the kind of false cheerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend.“Healthy optimism means being in touch with reality,”says Tal Ben-Shahar,a Harvard professor.According to Ben-Shahar,realistic optimists are those who make the best of things that happen,but not those who believe everything happens for the best.Ben-Shahar uses three optimistic exercises.When he feels down—say,after giving a bad lecture—he grants himself permission to be human.He reminds himself that not every lecture can be a Nobel winner;some will be less effective than others.Next is reconstruction.He analyzes the weak lecture,learning lessons for the future about what works and what doesn’t.Finally,there isperspective,which involves acknowledging that in the grand scheme of life,one lecture really doesn’t matter.2015年46.Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)Think about driving a route that’s very familiar.It could be your commute to work,a trip into town or the way home.Whichever it is,you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand.On these sorts of trips it’s easy to lose concentration on the driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery.The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.This is the well-travelled road effect:People tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention.When we travel down a well-known route,because we don’t have to concentrate much,time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards,when we come to think back on it,we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it.So we assume it was shorter.2016年46.Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)The supermarket is designed to lure customers into spending as much time as possible within its doors.The reason for this is simple:The longer you stay in the store,the more stuff you’ll see, and the more stuff you see,the more you’ll buy.And supermarkets contain a lot of stuff.The average supermarket,according to the Food Marketing Institute,carries some44,000different items,and many carry tens of thousands more.The sheer volume of available choice is enough to send shoppers into a state of information overload.According to brain-scan experiments,the demands of so much decision-making quickly become too much for us.After about40minutes of shopping,most people stop struggling to be rationally selective,and instead begin shopping emotionally—which is the point at which we accumulate the50percent of stuff in our cart that we never intended buying.2017年46.Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET. (15points)My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school,I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course.However,during that course I realised I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future,so I decided that it was not the right path for me.Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism,because writing was,and still is,one of my favourite activities.But,to be honest, I said it,because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream—I knew that no one could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!So I decided to look for some fashion-related courses that included writing.This is when I noticed the course“Fashion Media&Promotion.”2018年46.Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)A fifth grader gets a homework assignment to select his future career path from a list of occupations.He ticks“astronaut”but quickly adds“scientist”to the list and selects it as well.The boy is convinced that if he reads enough,he can explore as many career paths as he likes.And so he reads—everything from encyclopedias to science fiction novels.He reads so passionately that his parents have to institute a“no reading policy”at the dinner table.That boy was Bill Gates,and he hasn’t stopped reading yet—not even after becoming one of the most successful people on the planet.Nowadays,his reading material has changed from science fiction and reference books:recently,he revealed that he reads at least50nonfiction books a year.Gates chooses nonfiction titles because they explain how the world works.“Each book opens up new avenues of knowledge,”Gates says.。

考研英语最后阶段翻译题型莫放弃

考研英语最后阶段翻译题型莫放弃

考研英语最后阶段翻译题型莫放弃考研英语中,翻译题型一直是很重要的一部分。

不同于选择、填空等题型,翻译题考察的是考生的英译汉和汉译英的能力,更能反映出考生的英语实际应用水平。

在考研英语考试的最后阶段,考生们多少已经有一定的翻译基础,但是实际拿到试卷上形式各异、语言风格多变的翻译题时,还是会有不少难度。

所以,我们来看看如何在考研英语最后阶段提高翻译能力。

梳理翻译题的主要类型翻译题主要分为两种,即汉译英和英译汉。

而且每个方向又可以分为句子翻译和篇章翻译。

汉译英汉译英,即将汉语句子或篇章翻译为英语。

•句子翻译:考查考生的英语语法和词汇运用能力,要求考生将给定的一到几句汉语翻译成符合英语语法、语言习惯和表达方式的英语句子。

•篇章翻译:考查考生的英语阅读和整体思维能力,要求考生将给定的一篇汉语篇章翻译成符合英语语言和风格特点的英语篇章。

英译汉英译汉,即将英语句子或篇章翻译为中文。

•句子翻译:考查考生的中文表达能力,要求考生将给定的一到几句英语翻译成符合汉语语法、语言习惯和表达方式的汉语句子。

•篇章翻译:考查考生的中文阅读和整体思维能力,要求考生将给定的一篇英语篇章翻译成符合汉语语言和风格特点的汉语篇章。

在翻译练习中培养语感和流畅度在进行翻译练习时,考生需要注重培养自己的语感和流畅度。

这些对于考生来说并不是一朝一夕可以培养出来的技能,需要考生经常进行反复的翻译练习和输出。

因此,我们需要注重以下几点:阅读优秀的英语原文要想提高英语翻译能力,阅读英文原著、英文报刊等是最直接有效的方法。

阅读有助于建立语感,提高英语水平,尤其是在句式语法方面。

学习纯正的英语口音翻译需要掌握一定的英语语音,体验不同的英语语音可以改善翻译的质量。

培养语言灵活性要想成为一名优秀的翻译工作者,语言灵活性也是一个重要的方面。

在平时练习的过程中,可以多学习同义词、正反义词、词汇搭配等,减少中英语言间的障碍。

进行多样化的翻译练习要想熟练体会语言,需要进行多样化的练习。

考研英语翻译技巧搞懂插入语翻译顺序

考研英语翻译技巧搞懂插入语翻译顺序

考研英语翻译技巧搞懂插入语翻译顺序考研英语语法贯穿在不同的题型中,大家要想学精英语就要学好语法,下面为大家解析英语语法难点之分割结构。

插入语是英语的常见现象。

插入语的特点和功能可以概括为:在形式上,与句子其它部分由逗号、括号或破折号隔开;在结构上可有可无,不影响句子的整体结构;在意义上,对句子表达起到准时补充的作用。

插入结构一般用逗号与句子其他部分隔开,往往位于主谓之间、并列结构之间或是主从句之间。

由于插入语在结构上可有可无,所以要先理解插入语两端的内容,再理解插入语。

因此,对于插入语,我们的处理方法是:先读两端,再读中间。

翻译成汉语时,有些插入语,可保持原文中的挨次。

然而,在很多状况下,需要对英语原文句子的挨次进行必要的调整,使译文符合汉语习惯。

【真题例句1】Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats.【解析】全句共有2个谓语动词:must face和is,其中主句谓语动词为must face。

主干为:Britain must face the problem almost more than any other country in the world作为Britain的后置定语。

两个of介词短语都修饰the problem。

that is to say 是插入语,意为也就是说,将两个并列的of介词短语分隔开来。

本句是一个简洁句。

【参考译文】英国几乎比世界上任何国家都更加需要严厉对待向高空建筑房屋的问题,也就是说,要在很高的公寓楼里面容纳下人口总数的一大部分的问题。

deposited nutrients in the soil, thus enabling the farmer to cultivate a single plot of ground for many years without moving to a new location. Thus, the first truly sedentary (that is, nonmigratory) societies were born. As time went on, such communities gradually learned how to direct the flow of water to enhance the productive capacity of the land, while the introduction of the iron plow eventually led to the cultivation of heavy soil not previously susceptible to agriculture.The spread of this river valley agriculture in various parts of Asia and Africa was the decisive factor in the rise of the first civilizations. The increase in food production in these regions led to a significant growth in population, while efforts to control the flow of water to maximize the irrigation of cultivated areas and to protect the local inhabitants from hostile forces outside the community provoked the first steps toward cooperative activities on a large scale. The need to oversee the entire process brought about the emergence of an elite that was eventually transformed into a government.The first clear steps in the rise of the first civilizations took place in the fourth and third millennia B.C. in Mesopotamia, northern Africa, India, and China. How the first governments took shape in these areas is not certain, but anthropologists studying the evolution of human communities in various parts of the world have discovered that one common stage in the process is the emergence of what are called ―big men‖ within a single village or a collection of villages. By means of their military prowess, dominant personalities, or political talents, these people gradually emerge as the leaders of that community. In time, the ―big men‖ become formal symbols of authority and pass on that authority t o others within their own family. As the communities continue to grow in size and material wealth, the ―big men‖ assume hereditary status, and their allies and family members are transformed into a hereditary monarchy.The appearance of these sedentary societies had a major impact on the social organizations, religious beliefs, and way of life of the peoples living within their boundaries. With the increase in population and the development of centralized authority came the emergence of the cities. While some of these urban centers were identified with a particular economic function, such as proximity to gold or iron deposits or a strategic location on a major trade route, others served primarily as administrative centers or the site of temples for the official cult or other ritual observances. Within these cities, new forms of livelihood appeared to satisfy the growing need for social services and consumer goods. Some people became artisans or merchants, while others became warriors, scholars, or priests. In some cases, the physical division within the first cities reflected the strict hierarchical character of the society as a whole, with a royal palace surrounded by an imposing wall and separate from the remainder of the urban population. In other instances, such as the Indus River Valley, the cities lacked a royal precinct and the ostentatious palaces that marked their contemporaries elsewhere.11.
