2010年6月大学英语六级翻译真题

1. It's believed that mixed-ability teaching can _______________（促使他们知识的积累和经历的丰富）.

2. We ________make our actions fit to those of others_______（使我们的行为符合别人的）based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation.

3. The class are very active. They ________________（争先恐后地回答问题）.

4. Oxygen is ________________（一种能和许多物质化合的气体）.

5. Mr. Smith is ________________（这次事故的目击者之一）.

答案解析：

1. enrich t heir knowledge and experience

解析：本题考查合译法，"积累"与"丰富"可以共用一个英语动词enrich，而enrich的前缀en-有"使......（怎么样）"的含义，如：encircle（圈住）；endanger（使危险）；enfranchise（使自治）。因此，"促使"可以省略不译。本句如果译成can cause the accumulation of their knowledge and the abundance of their experience也没有错，但行文复杂。六级汉译英虽然没有具体的字数要求，考生也应该在准确翻译的前提下尽量使语言精炼。

2. fit our actions to those of other people

解析：本题意为：我们是基于一贯的评价和理解来使我们的行为符合别人的。"使......符合"可以直接用动词

fit，而本句最容易出错的地方在于如何理解"别人的"，实际上，"别人的"是"别人的行为"省略。但是在翻译成英语时必须补齐"行为"才能避免意思含混。因此，不能译成fit our actions to other people。

3. vie with each other in answering questions

解析：本题考查固定短语"争先恐后"可以译成s trive to be the first或vie with each other，vie是不及物动词，一般与with连用，表示"与某人竞争做某事"。另外，本题The class are very active的集合名词class 指代班级成员因而谓语用复数。如果表示整体概念，则谓语用单数，如：This class is very large. It consists of 90 students.

4. a gas which unites with many substances

解析：本题主要考查"物质"的词义辨析。matter和substance侧重抽象的物质或某一事件；substance指某种质地、形体、特征或重要性的东西，侧重某个实体，如：a mineral substance（矿物）；Salt is a substance we use in cooking.（盐是我们做菜时用的东西。）

5. one of those who have witnessed the accident

解析：本题考查句型be one of... 与be the only one of...的辨析。但one前面有the only修饰时，从句中的谓语动词用单数，如：She is the only one of the girls who shows special aptitude in singing and dancing.（她是这些女孩子中唯一在歌舞方面有特长的人。）

Exercise Twenty-Six

1. Man，no less than the lower forms of life，_______________(是演化过程的产物).

2. _______________(不止一个人觉察到)her agitation.

3. ________________(液体密度越大)，the easier it is to float on it.

4. _______________(只有工人的要求得到满足)will they return to work.

5. Had ________________(要不是有水库)we'd never have been able to beat the drought.

1. is a product of the evolutionary process

解析：单数名词+with，together with，along with，as well as，accompanied by，no less than，rather than，in addition to，instead of，including，besides等+名词结构作主语时，谓语动词用单数。Man在这里是个单数概念，指全人类，因此句子谓语部分要用单数is。再如：A technician，along with some young workers，is working on the design.(技术员正在和一些青年工人一道搞设计。)本题全句意为：人类，同生命的低级形式一样，是演化过程的产物。

2. More than one person has noticed

解析：many a或more than one所修饰的名词作主语时，谓语动词必须用单数。所以句子需填入部分谓语译成has，又由于"觉察到"暗示了动作已经发生，因此用完成时态。但是，考生要注意的是：如果more than one后面又出现了thousand，hundred等，动词就要用复数，如：More than one thousand graduates have responded to the Party's call and gone to work in the border regions.(一千多名毕业生响应党的号召，到边疆工作去了。)

3. The denser a liquid is

解析：本题考查的是"the+adj.比较级，the+adj.比较级"的结构，表示"越......越......"。The denser在句中充当表语。当表语前置，主语和系动词用正常语序即可。当前置的表语为形容词词组、介词短语等，主语和系动词就要倒装。如：To north of the town was little village，where I spent my childhood in happiness.(在这个小城镇的北边有一个小村庄，我在那儿幸福地度过了我的童年。)

4. Only when the workers' demands are satisfied

解析：本题考查only修饰的状语放在句首，主谓要倒装。Will they return to work已经给出暗示。此外，only+副词，only+介词短语置于句首，主谓也要倒装。如：Only with the aid of telescope can he observe the celestial bodies.(只有借助望远镜，他才能观测到天体。)值得注意的是：如果句首only修饰的是主语，则不需要倒装。如：Only Tom has been to the small island once before.(只有汤姆以前去过那个小岛一次。)

5. it not been for the reservoir

解析：由于句首已经给出Had，那么这里就是考查虚拟语气省略if引起的主谓倒装。由主句时态可知，从句情况与过去事实相反，因此用过去完成时态。另外，如果句首倒装的条件句含有否定词not，且had。2006年12月大学英语六级翻译真题

1. If you had _________________（听从了我的忠告，你就不会陷入麻烦）.

解析：本句翻译主要考查虚拟语气的用法如果听从了我的劝告，但因为句首有had这个词，我们可以得知句中的“你”并没有听从，所以这是对过去事情的假设，if had done +would / should / could / might have done sth 忠告可直接翻译为advice，“陷入麻烦”则是get into trouble。

所以答案为followed my advice, you would not get into trouble

2. With tears on her face, the lady ________________（看着她受伤的儿子被送入手术室）.

解析：看着…… 考查的是感官动词watch/hear/see/feel后面接动词的使用方法。这里看着被送入只一个正在进行的动作，同时还包含一个被动语态。“受伤的儿子”即injured son, “手术室”则是operation room。

所以翻译答案为watched her injured son being sent to the hospital

3. After the terrorist attack, tourists _________________（被劝告暂时不要去该国旅游）。

解析：劝告某人不要做某事advise/suggest sb. not to do sth. 句子中是“被劝告”，所以要用被动语态。在这个句子中“暂时”其实就是此时，所以翻译为at the moment比较合适。

所以翻译答案为are suggested not to travel to this country at the moment

4. I prefer to communicate with my customers _________________（通过写电子邮件而不是打电话）.

解析：这个句子中“写”“打”这两个词不用翻出来，关键是“电子邮件”和“电话”这两种沟通方式，通过……方式用介词through，“而不是”用短语instead of即可。

所以后半句可翻译为through E-mail instead of telephone

5. ________________ （直到截止日他才寄出）his application form.

解析：直到……才…… 这个句型可以通过强调句型来表达Not until…did/ do/does sb. did/do/does sth 截止日直接译为deadline即可寄出就是send out

所以这句话连起来就是It wasn't until the deadline did he sent out his application form.

2007年6月大学英语六级翻译真题

1. The auto manufacturer found themselves ______________ （正在同外国公司竞争市场的份额）。

解析：该句子主要考查以下几个知识点，①发现某人正在做某事find sb./oneself doing sth. ②与某人为某事竞争compete with/against sb. for sth ③市场份额market share

把这几个考查点结合起来整个句子就翻译为competing with foreign companies for the market share.

2. Only in the small town _______________ （他才感到安全和放松）。

解析：“直到……”“只有……才……”这种句型多半考查倒装句的用法，在英语中，only、not only、seldom、never等表示绝对或否定意义的副词出现在句首，句子部分倒装，系动词或助词提前。

这个句子“他”是第三人称单数形式，所以助词应该是does，或者过去式did。所以后半句可翻译为did he feel safe and relaxed.

3. It is absolutely unfair that these children _____________ （被剥夺了受教育的权利）。

解析：这个句子考查的语法点主要有三个，一个是剥夺某人做某事deprive sb. of sth 一个是做某事的权利the right to do sth. 另外一个是“被剥夺”这个被动语态

所以后半句可翻译为are deprived of the right to receive education.

4. Our years of hard work are still in vain, _______________ （更别提我们花费的大量金钱了）。解析：“更别提”英语中有两个短语可以表达，一个是not to mention，另外一个是let alone。后半句的宾语中心语是金钱，花费的大量的都是定语修饰语，可以用后置定语从句表达。所以后半句可翻译为not to mention the large amounts of money that we have spent

5. The problems of blacks and women _______________ （最近几十年受到公众相当大的关注）。

解析：“最近几十年”表达的是一段时间一直……，所以要用现在完成时，公众可翻译为the public。

整个句子可翻译为have attached considerable attention of the public in recent decades.

1. But for mobile phone, ________________ （我们的通信就不可能如此迅速和方便）。

答案：but he refused to make further explanation（注意时态）

4. Human behavior is mostly a product of learning, __________________ （而动物的行为主要依靠本能）。

解析：本题句型考点为while在分句中间做转折连词的用法，词汇考点则为behavior, depend on/upon, instinct等基础词汇的基本用法。此外，根据前半句得出，behavior在这里用单数表示行为概念。

答案：while animal behavior depends mainly upon (或on) their instinct(s)

5. The witness was told that under no circumstances ________________ （他都不应该对法庭说谎）。

解析：当句子中出现under no circumstances时，其后用部分倒装；对某人撒谎：lie to sb.

2012年考研考试英语翻译精选试题

企业兼并的质疑

1、The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. The process sweeps from hyperactive America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed might. Many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying：“Won…t the wave of business concentration turn into an uncontrollable anti-competitive force？”

世界正在经历一场前所未有的巨大的并购浪潮。这个浪潮从异常活跃的美国席卷到欧洲，并以不可比拟的威力影响到正在崛起的国家。这些国家的许多人面对这个浪潮开始忧虑：“企业合并的浪潮会不会变成一股不可控制的反竞争的力量？”

2、There?s no quest ion that the big are getting bigger and more powerful. Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982. Today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly. International affiliates account for a fast-growing segment of production in economies that open up and welcome foreign investment. In Argentina，for instance，after the reforms of the early 1990s，multinationals went from 43% to almost 70% of the industrial production of the 200 largest firms. This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smaller economic firms，of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of the world economy.

无疑，大企业正在变得更大、更强。跨国公司在1982年只占有国际贸易不到20％的份额。而现在，这个数字上升到25％强，并且还在迅速上升。在那些对外开放并鼓励外资的国家的经济中国际分公司在国民生产中成为一个快速增长的部门。比如，在阿根廷，经过90年代初的改革之后，跨国公司在200家大型企业的工业生产中从43％增加到几乎70％。这个现象造成了人们对小型企业和民族资本的作用以及世界经济的最终稳定的严重忧虑。

3、I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&A wave are the same that underlie the globalization process：falling transportation and communication costs，lower trade and investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers… demands. All these are beneficial，not detrimental，to consumers. As productivity grows，the world?s wealth increases.

我认为，推动这股巨大的并购浪潮的最主要的力量，也是推动全球化进程的力量，包括日趋下降的运输与通讯费用，较低的贸易与投资壁垒，以及市场的扩大和为满足市场需求而进行的扩大生产。所有这些对消费者来说都有益而无害的。随着生产力的提高，世界的财富也在增长

4、Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty. Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could re-create the same threats to competition that were feared nearly a century ago in the US，when the Standard Oil trust was broken up. The mergers of telecom companies，such as World Com，hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the pace of technical progress. On the contrary，the price of communications is coming down fast. In cars，too，concentration is increasing —witness Daimler and Chrysler，Renault and Nissan — but it does not appear that consumers are being hurt.

目前证明这股合并浪潮是带来利还是弊的实例并不多。但是很难想像当今的几个石油公司的合并是否会重新造成约100年前美国标准石油公司对竞争造成的同样的威胁，那时由于人们对该公司的这种担心而导致了它最终的解散。像世界通讯这样的通讯公司合并似乎没有给消费者带来更高的价格，或者降低技术进步的速度。相反，通信的价格在迅速下降。在汽车行业，合并也同样在增加——比如戴姆勒与克莱斯勒，雷诺与尼桑的合并——但消费者看起来

并未受到伤害。

5、Yet the fact remains that the merger movement must be watched. A few weeks ago，Alan Greenspan warned against the megamergers in the banking industry. Who is going to supervise，regulate and operate as lender of last resort with the gigantic banks that are being created？Won…t multinationals shift production from one place to another when a nation gets too strict about infringements to fair competition？And should one country take upon itself the role of “defending competition” on issues that affect many other nations，as in the US vs. Microsoft case？

但是合并运动必须受到严密监视这个事实仍然存在。就在几星期以前，格林斯潘对银行业的巨大合并发出了警告。如果合并后如此巨大的银行出现，谁来充当最终的借贷者，发挥监督、规范和运作的作用呢？当一个国家对破坏公平竞争的行为的处理过于严厉时，跨国公司会不会把它们的生产从一地转到另一地呢？在那些将会影响许多其他国家的事情中，如美国政府与微软公司的诉讼案，一个国家是否应该担负起“保护竞争”的责任呢？
