1.Whatever the explanation, the idea of a work-life balance is a staple of European discourse, studied in think tanks, mulled over by policymakers. In the US, the term, when it’s used at all, is said with the sort of sneer reserved for those who eat quiche. But it might still catch on. When Bill Keller was named executive editor of the New York Times last week, he encouraged the staff to do “a little more savoring” of life, spending time with their families or viewing art.

不管如何解释,工作与生活的平衡总是欧洲人的主要谈资,同时也是智囊团和政策制定者研究和考虑的主题。在美国,人们使用这个说法时总是带着几分针对那些吃蛋奶火腿馅饼的悠闲人士才会表现出来的冷嘲热讽的态度。但是,它可能还是会流行起来的。时任《纽约时报》执行主编的比尔?凯勒曾鼓励员工们要给生活增加一些色彩,多陪陪家人或去欣赏艺术。

2.P. L. Travers, the author of the Mary Poppins books, put it best when she wrote, “You do not chop off a section of your imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children, for— if you are honest—you have, in fact, no idea where childhood ends and maturity begins. It is all endless and all one.” There is plenty for children and adults to enjoy in Rowling’s books, starting with their language. Her prose may be unadorned, but her way with naming people and things reveals a quirky and original talent.

《欢乐满人间》的作者帕梅拉·林登·特拉弗斯概括得精辟之极。她写到,“你不能把你想象的东西砍掉一部分然后写成一本专给孩子看的书,坦白地说,因为事实上你根本无从知道童年究竟是什么时候结束的而成人期又是什么时候开始的。它们互相连接、浑然一体。”在罗琳的书中,从语言开始,就有足够多的让大人和孩子都喜欢的东西。也许她的文风朴实,但是她给人和物命名的方式显示了独特的原创才能。

3.Zhejiang cuisine is light and exquisite, and is typical of food from along the lower Yangtze River. One famous dish is West Lake Vinegar Fish, which looks pretty and has the delicate refreshing flavors of nature. Many Chinese restaurants in China, as well as other parts of the world, serve this dish, but often the flavor is less authentic compared to that found in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang Province, which has unique access to the fish and water of West Lake.

4.Yoga achieves its best results when it is practiced as a daily discipline, and yoga can be a life-long exercise routine, offering deeper and more challenging positions as a practitioner becomes more adept. The basic positions can increase a person’s stren gth, flexibility and sense of well-being almost immediately, but it can take years to perfect and deepen them, which is an appealing and stimulating aspect of yoga for many.

每天练习瑜伽会达到最好的效果,随着动作越来越熟练,你就可以加大强度和难度这样瑜伽就能成为你相伴终生的日常锻炼方式了。练习基础的瑜伽动作即可收到增强力量,改善柔韧性并使人感到舒适的效果,但要想达到完美和高深的境界还是需要日积月累的练习,这也是瑜伽吸引人的地方之一。

5.What attracts individuals to each other in the first place? Many people believe that “there’s one person out there that one is meant for” and that destiny will bring them together. Such beliefs are roman tic but unrealistic. Empirical studies show that cultural norms and values, not fate, bring people together. We will never meet millions of potential lovers because they are “filtered out” by formal or informal rules on partner eligibility due to factors such as age, race, distance, social class, religion, sexual orientation, health, or physical appearance.

一开始让人相互吸引的是什么?许多人相信“世上有一个人是你为之而生的”,而且命运会将你俩带到一起。这样的想法很浪漫却不现实。实证研究发现,是文化标准和价值观而非命运,将人们连系在一起。我们错过了成千上万的可能的爱人,因为他们早就被正式的或非正式的挑选理想爱人的准则筛选出局,这些准则包括年龄、种族、地域、社会阶层、宗教、性倾向、健康状况或外表。

6.Much research shows that the quality of care infants receive affects how they later get along with friends, how well they do in school, how they react to new and possibly stressful situations, and how they form and maintain loving relationships as adults. It is for these reasons that people’s early intimate relationships within

their family of origin are so critical. Children who are raised in impersonal environments (orphanages, some foster homes, or unloving families) show emotional and social underdevelopment, language and motor skills retardation, and mental health problems.

很多研究发现婴儿获得关爱的质量会影响到他们以后的交友,在学校的表现,如何应对陌生的或可能充满压力的情况,以及他们成年后如何建立并且维系情感关系。正是因为这些原因,人们与家庭成员的早期亲密关系才如此至关重要。在人情冷漠的环境中(如孤儿院,某些寄养家庭,缺乏关爱的家庭)长大的孩子会出现情感和社会性发育不良,语言和运动技能迟缓,以及精神健康问题。

Unit1 The Internet's speed, vast resources, and its ability to directly communicate with others are its greatest benefits. Because the Internet uses the quickness of computers to transmit its data, information can travel at tremendous speeds. Speed is not the only benefit. The Internet uses hundreds of thousands of computers all connected to each other to store vast amounts of information. And finally, because the Internet allows individuals to have specific electronic mail addresses, people can easily communicate with one another.

互联网的速度、巨大的资源和与他人直接交流的能力是其最大的优点。因为互联网利用计算机的快速性传递数据,所以信息能够以巨大的速度传播。但速度并不是其唯一的优点,互联网运用数百万相互连接的计算机储存数量巨大信息。最后,由于互联网容许每个人拥有特定的邮件地址,所以人们能够便利地交流。

Unit2 With the 21st century coming, people have increasingly realized file importance of acquiring round easy information. If a nation can make effective use of all the information it will benefit in the fields of scientific research, education, economic development, etc. What the nation needs to do is to establish a nation-wide "information network", so as to link up scientists, businessmen, educators, etc. If such a network is set up, it will promote the second information revolution in the country.

随着21世纪的到来,人们更加注意到快速便捷地获取信息的重要性。如果一个国家能够有效地利用所有的信息,那么将会在科研、教育、经济发展等领域受益。该国所需要的是建立一个全国性的“信息网络”,从而把科学家、商人、教育家等联系起来。如果能建立这样一个网络,就将促进该国的第二次信息革命。

Unit3 With the development of a market economy in China, techniques of sales promotion have been more and more widely employed. The popularity of varied and numerous promotional activities such as discounts, bonuses, and promotional parties has grown steadily. The reason is that they not only help manufacturers and businesses earn higher and quicker profits, but also help consumers become acquainted with the products involved and get some practical benefits. However, if these techniques are used to promote products of inferior quality, both the manufacturers and the businessmen will be made to pay for that.

随着我国市场经济的发展,商品促销手段的使用越来越普及。越来越受到人们青睐的打折、馈赠、促销晚会等内容丰富、形式多样的促销活动日益增加。这些活动不仅能够使厂家和商家更多更快地赚取利润,而且有助于消费者更好地了解产品并获得实惠。但如果用这些促销手段销售劣质商品,则无论是厂家还是商家,都将自食其果。

Unit4 Work is not only a means of sustaining life. More importantly, it is the way through which people display their talent, realize their ambitions, build relationships and establish social status. If you understand this intrinsic value of work, then however dull or hard work may be, it becomes bearable if it helps build up a reputation, whether in the world at large or only in one's own circle. Updating one's aim is one of the most essential elements of self-fulfillment in the long run, and for most people this comes chiefly through their work. In that sense, work is the most vigorous, vivid sign of life -in individuals and in civilizations.

劳动不仅仅是谋生的手段,更重要的是,它是人们施展才华、实现抱负、建立社会关系、获得社会地位的途径。理解了劳动的这种内在本质,那么无论所作的事情那么乏味,那么劳累,只要它能有助于自己在社会上或个人的小圈子里树立名誉,那也足以让人忍受。从长远来看,不断地树立新的目标,是个人自

我实现的一个基本要素。对于多数人来说,这主要依靠劳动。从这个意义上说,无论对个人还是整个文明社会,劳动都是生活最有力、最生动的体现。

Unit5 America was once troubled by employment crisis. Now in this land, there are employees, those who have lost their jobs and those who will never find a job. For decades, the government took no notice of the changes in its economic base and their effect on employment and lifestyle. As a result, many people lost job opportunities. Many experts came up with various ideas to address unemployment. However, what is most important now is to stimulate consumption.

美国曾因就业危机而受到困扰。如今在这片土地上既有就业者也有失业者,还有永远找不到工作的人。数十年来,政府忽视了经济基础的变革,以及让它对就业和生活方式的影响,结果,许多人失去了工作的机会。关于如何解决失业问题,有很多专家提出了不同的看法,而目前的首要工作是刺激消费。

Unit6 The crime of identity theft is on the rise. Recent surveys show there are currently 10 million victims each year, greatly exceeding our earlier estimates. Using a variety of methods, criminals steal Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, credit card numbers, and other pieces of an individual's information such as date of birth. They use this information to buy as many things as they can in their victim's name in as short a time as possible. Identity theft is a serious crime. People whose identities have been stolen can spend months or even years cleaning up the mess the thieves have made of their credit record.

盗用他人身份的犯罪正在日益上升。最近的调查显示,现在每年大约1000万人成为其受害者,大大超出了早先的预计。罪犯们利用各种手段窃取社会安全号、驾照号、信用卡号以及诸如生日之类的其他个人信息。他们利用这些信息以受害人的名义在尽可能短的时间里购买尽可能多的东西。盗用他人身份是一种严重的罪行。身份被盗的人可能要花几个月甚至几年的时间为被窃贼们损坏的信用记录正名。

Unit7 Let's assume you are a sports fan. What is your first reaction when you find in your e-mail an attachment called "Anna Kournikova. jpg. vbs'? Curiosity tempts you to open the document to have a look at the Russian tennis star. But if you open it, the virus will be activated and will copy the attachment to every e-mail address in your "Outlook Express", spreading the virus even farther. E-viruses, which flood the Intenet through dubious e-mails with fancy bait, make production of anti-virus programs a profitable business.

假设你是个体育运动迷,那你在看到邮件中有名为“安娜·库尔尼克娃·jpg. vbs”的图片文件时,你的第一反应会是什么呢?好奇心引诱你打开文件一睹这位俄罗斯网球明星的芳容。但是如果你打开附件,病毒就被激活,会在你的“Outlook Express”上把该附件复制给电子邮件通讯录上的每一个地址,从而更广泛地传播病毒。电脑病毒通过带有花哨诱饵的可疑电子邮件在网泛滥成灾,因此,防毒程序的开发也成为一项有利可图的生意。

Unit8 Changes in the American family structure are evidenced by increased rates of separation and divorce. In certain areas of the country these trends have resulted in a growing number of single-parent families and remarried parents. This does not indicate, however, that the institution of marriage is crumbling. It is estimated that four out of five divorced couples eventually remarry other people. These shifts in family relationships may be interpreted as a breakdown or as an adaptation of the American family to changing roles, attitudes, and values. The changes, according to the more traditional viewpoint, represent a breakdown in the family structure, a disintegration of values, and a decline of morality.

美国家庭结构的改变可由升高了的分居率和离婚率得到证实。在美国的某些地区,这些趋向导致了单亲家庭和再婚父母的日益增多。然而,这并不表明婚姻体制正在土崩瓦解。据统计,五分之四的离婚夫妇将最终和别人结合。家庭关系的这些改变可以解释为家庭关系的破裂,也可以解释为美国家庭对不断变化的角色、态度和价值的一种适应。以较为传统的观点来看,这些变化代表着家庭结构的破裂、价值观的解题和道德的沦丧。

Dear

When it comes to which major you should choose, I propose that you apply for the major of English. To begin with, English is the most popular language in the world, which is widely used in all fields such as teaching, translati on, foreign trade and so on. What’s more, it goes without saying that English majors are more likely to find a good job in the tighter and tighter job market.

In order to study at English Department, you have to meet the following requirements. In the first place, you have to spend a lot of time on it, just as the old saying goes, “Practice makes perfect”. In the second place, the basic skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking are necessary, because they are the foundations for your futur e study. Last but not the least important, you need an intense interest in learning English since “interest is the best teacher.”

As far as the preparation work is concerned, you should first of all review all the required vocabulary. In addition, you’d better spend some time on reading and writing. Only through these measures can you hope to enroll in our university.

Yours

考研英语阅卷老师谈:如何做好翻译与作文

考研英语阅卷老师谈:如何做好翻译与作文 温剑波中央财经大学外国语学院讲师,教学一部主任,曾参加近几年的考研英语阅卷工作。 姜晓丽中央财经大学外国语学院讲师,教研室主任。曾多次讲授考研英语辅导班的课程,并参加了近几年考研英语的阅卷工作。 一、考研英语翻译、作文得分情况 考研英语共包含三大部分,六种题型。其中,翻译和作文部分是主观题,而作文又包含一篇应用文(小作文)和一篇议论文(大作文)的写作。笔者从近几年的阅卷情况看,翻译部分考生的平均分是4分(满分10分);小作文平均分是4分(满分10分),大作文平均分是10分(满分20分)。 二、考研英语翻译题型介绍 英译汉题型重点考查学生准确理解概念或者结构复杂的英语材料并将其译成汉语的能力。英译汉是国内英语考试独有而常见的题型,因为国外的英语考试,如TOEFL、GRE、IELTS等都没有而且也不可能有英译汉这一题型;而国内的英语考试则经常把英译汉作为考查的内容之一。此外,英译汉是一种主观题,对于考生的语法、词汇、阅读理解、中文表达等方面都有着较高的要求,这对于平时习惯于做多项选择(multiple choice)的考生而言无疑是一次很大的挑战。从历届的考试情况来看,英译汉是考生们的薄弱环节之一。 1.翻译部分的文章特点 纵观近年的翻译真题,考研翻译部分的文章长约400词,词汇量基本控制在考试大纲所规定的范围之内,很少有生词和难词出现。试题有以下几个特点: ①从文章的题材来看,大多数都是有关政治、经济、文化、教育、历史、地理、科普以及社会生活等方面的内容,有一定的难度; ②从所选文章的文体来看,大多数的文章都是议论文,说明文也较多,结构都比较严谨,逻辑性也很强; ③从具体要求翻译的句子来看,长难句(并列句、复合句、并列复合句等)占多数,不过也有一些虽然不长,但是包含一些比较难理解的结构和词汇的句子。 2.考研翻译的要求 考研英语大纲对于翻译部分的明确要求是"译文准确、完整、通顺"。换句话说,翻译考查的重点首先是对英语句子的正确理解,其次是不能随意增加和漏掉原文的内容,最后是用通顺的中文把原文的意思表达出来。不难看出,考研的翻译并不要求考生讲究文采、使用华丽的语言,这就如同写作并不要求考生有多么深刻的思想而只是要求叙述时具有普通的逻辑性和完整性一样。在2002年题型改革以前,考研的翻译一直是一个独立的部分,满分15分,占总分数的15%的比重;改革之后,考研的翻译并入了阅读理解部分,分数由原来的15分减

2013年考研英语翻译的基本方法(7月 版) 在解答考生关于考研英语真题学习中的具体问题时,我们发现,很多考生对英汉翻译所懂甚少。长期以来,一直有考生提问诸如“老师,这句英文中这个短语怎么没有翻译出来?”、“这半句汉语是从那里来的,英语中怎么没有对应语句?”以及“这个句子为什么翻译成汉语时,添加了否定词?”等等的问题。在很多时候,我们只能很笼统的告诉考生:基于英汉文化的差异,在翻译的过程中需要考虑语言模式的差异。在很多时候,英译汉必须按照汉语思维模式以及语境的需要,去增添或者省略一些信息、调整一下语序、转换表达方式。 为了让考生更深入地了解英译汉,我们选用一些真题中的句子,来做先关探讨。在此之前,我们先简单地阐述一下翻译的标准和过程。 翻译标准 在我国近现代,最有影响的翻译标准是严复的“信、达、雅”。就考研英语翻译而言,由于文章的题材大多是有关、经济、文化、教育、科普以及社会生活等方面的内容,并且文体以议论文为主,说明文为辅,结构严谨,逻辑性强,我们很难在“雅”这一标准上做文章。“达”,即通顺,译文必须通顺且符合汉语的语言习惯,这是一个重要的评分标准。“信”,即忠于原文,是翻译的最高标准。由于要翻译的5个句子

是从一篇文章中截取出来的,因而译文必须和上下文表达的意思一致。如果歪曲了原文的意思,那么该句的得分就会很低。 因此,翻译不能违背原文本身,这是考研翻译的最基本标准。 翻译过程 翻译一般分三个阶段:①找核心句;②译核心句;③译其修饰限定补充的句子。由于考研英语翻译大部分句型都是长难句,这一过程显得尤为重要。简而言之,考生首先要找出句子的主干,然后再处理其余的细枝末节,如修饰成分等。考试中,考生应该先通读全文,从大处着手,通篇把握文意,然后分析需要翻译的句子,找出主干,理分支,并翻译。最后是检查书写以及时态。 翻译策略 1.直译和意译 直译,既忠于原文意思又保留原文形式的翻译;意译,不受原文词语的限制,不拘泥于原文句子的结构,用不同于原文的表达方式,把原文意思表达出来。在考研英语翻译中,我们应遵循的方法是:尽量采用直译,不能直译才采用意译,必要时直译与意译相结合。 (1)能直译就直译

2017考研英语一翻译真题解析 跨考教育英语教研室—王坤2017年考研英语一的翻译题型部分,整体来说难度不大,与2016年难度基本持平,考察的是英语语言发展情况,文章选自英国文化教育协会的一本书,叫《英语下一步》。英语一的考题是此书的序言部分。下面就是跨考英语教研室的英语老师对2017年考研英语一翻译真题的最新解析和参考译文。 (46)But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future. 参考译文:但是,尽管使用英语者的人数在不断增加/说英语的人越来越多,却仍然有迹象表明,英语语言的全球主导地位在不久的将来/可预见的未来也许会慢慢衰退。 句子解析:本句很简单,主句是there be 结构,主句前是让步状语,signs 后面是that引导的同位语从句,对signs进行进一步的补充说明。同位语从句中是主谓结构,the global predominance of the language 是主语,may fade 是谓语,within结构是时间状语。expands的词义不应该选择常用的“扩展”意思,而应该结合前面和它搭配的number,而选择“增加”的意思。 (47)His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generation of the United Kingdom do not need additional language capabilities.

考研英语翻译技巧讲解 【勤思整理转载请注明】 翻译技巧补充 一、英译汉概述 英译汉部分主要测试考生根据上下文准确理解英语句子并用汉语正确予以表达的能力。要求考生阅读一篇文章,并将其中5个划线部分的句子(约150词)翻译成中文,译文应准确、完整、通顺。划线的句子一般结构比较复杂,以考查考生的语法知识,以及正确理顺句子各部分关系的能力。 要在英译汉部分得高分,认真分析此类试题的特点和掌握基本的解题要领是很有必要的。 一、英译汉试题的选材 从体裁上看,英译汉试题的短文多为议论文或说明文,词数基本上在350~450之间。从题材上看,短文的内容涉及社会生活、科普、政治、经济、历史、文化等领域人们普遍关心的问题。 年份(年)题材词数 1998 宇宙的形成376 1999 历史学的研究方法326 2000 现代政府依赖专家人才381 2001 科学技术影响人类的未来生活405 2002 行为科学339 2003 人类学376 2004 语言学中萨皮尔——沃尔夫假说的形成355 2005 欧洲的电视媒体425 2006 “知识分子”的定义412 2007 法律教育对于新闻报道的意义423 二、英译汉试题的考查目标和标准 从语言技能方面,英译汉考查的要点是理解和表达,主要集中在词汇和句法两个层面,考生对原文要有充分的理解,每个词的含义,每个句子的结构,都必须透彻理解,同时又必须上下通顺连贯,浑然天成;此外,考生还要有较强的表达能

力,即较强的中英文写作功底,杜绝亦步亦趋、逐字逐句死译的毛病,提高把握整体的能力。要实现这些目标,考生在翻译时要: 1.根据上下文推测词义,选择确定恰当的词义并用汉语准确表达; 2.理解英语特殊的表意方式和语序,并能准确地转换成符合汉语习惯的句子; 3.理解句子的句法结构、文章的总体结构以及单句之间、段落之间的关系,并以此为基础用汉语进行准确表达; 4.根据上下文进行有关的判断、推理和引申并用汉语进行正确表达;理解作者的意图、观点或态度并采用恰当的语域用汉语进行准确表达。 根据研究生入学考试大纲中对英译汉的要求,衡量翻译效果的主要标准:一是“准确”,二是“通顺”。所谓“准确”,就是译文要忠实于原文,准确地表达原文的内容和观点,不得随意增补,不能遗漏,不能加入自己的立场观点。当然,“忠于原文”并不是要逐字逐句地机械地翻译。过分拘泥于原文反而经常造成译文的生涩难懂。“通顺”,则是指译文语言合乎汉语的规范和语言习惯,不要有语病、错别字,力求做到明白晓畅。 三、造成翻译难度的原因 从历年考生答题的情况看,英译汉部分得分普遍不高。英译汉之所以难,究其根本原因是英汉之间的差异错综复杂,既有语言表达方式方面的不同,又有思维逻辑以及文化习俗等方面的不同,这些都造成理解和表达上的重重困难。英译汉的难点在试题中主要反映在以下几个方面: 1.词义的确定、句子的理解都依赖上下文 英汉两种语言,除一些专用名词、科技术语以外,绝对等值的词为数很少,原因主要是英语词汇一词多类、一词多义的现象。在多数情况下一个英语单词往往有好几个,甚至几十个意思,错综复杂。例如英语的like同时兼类动词、名词、介词和形容词,含义更是五花八门。因此,词义对上下文的依赖性较大。确定的、充分的词义必须到上下文中去寻找。如果只记住某个单词的一、两个基本意义,便不分场合,不加区别地套译原文,往往会使译文生硬难懂,甚至歪曲原义。因此,译者必须十分谨慎,要对原文的词义做深入细致的分析,根据上下文所构成的语言环境来确定词义,从而准确无误地译出原意。 2.抽象名词多 英语中大量名词特别是抽象名词的罗列增加了理解和翻译的难度。抽象名词是表达抽象概念的名词,它的翻译是一个非常复杂的问题, 需要根据上下文来具体地确定这些抽象名词的汉语表达。但是, 我们应该遵循一个基本的原则, 即把抽象意义具体化, 把抽象名词转化为具体名词或含有具体特指性的词。有时需要增词翻译或者改换说法。例如tension, complacency,unemployment这类抽象名词,译成汉语时可分别在“紧张”后面加上“局势”,“自满”后面增加“情绪”,

2017考研英语长句翻译技巧之顺序法

2017考研英语长句翻译技巧之顺序法 顺序法:当英语长句的内容的叙述层次与汉语基本一致时,可以按照英语原文的顺序翻译成汉语。例如: 例1. Even when we turn off the beside lamp and are fast asleep,electricity is working for us,driving our refrigerators,heating our water,or keeping our rooms air-conditioned. (84年考题) 分析:该句子由一个主句,三个作伴随状语的现在分词以及位于句首的时间状语从句组成,共有五层意思:A.既使在我们关掉了床头灯深深地进入梦乡时;B.电仍在为我们工作;C.帮我们开动电冰箱;D.加热水;E.或是室内空调机继续运转。上述五层意思的逻辑关系以及表达的顺序与汉语完全一致,因此,我们可以通过顺序法,把该句翻译成:即使在我们关掉了床头灯深深地进入梦乡时,电仍在为我们工作:帮我们开动电冰箱,把水加热,或使室内空调机继续运转。 例2. But now it is realized that supplies of some of them are limited,and it is even possibleto give a reasonable estimate of their “expectation of life”,the time it will take to exhaust allknown sources and reserves of these materials. (84年考题) 分析:该句的骨干结构为“It is realized that…”,it为形式主语,that引导着主语从句以及并列的it is even possible to…结构,其中,不定式作主语,the time…是“expectationof life”的同位语,进一步解释其含义,而time后面的句子是它的定语从句。五个谓语结构,表达了四个层次的意义: A.可是现在人们意识到; B.其中有些矿物质的蕴藏量是有限的; C.人们甚至还可以比较合理的估计出这些矿物质“可望存在多少年”; D.将这些已知矿源和储量将消耗殆尽的时间。 根据同位语从句的翻译方法,把第四层意义的表达作适当的调整,整个句子就翻译为:可是现在人们意识到,其中有些矿物质的蕴藏量是有限的,人们甚至还可以比较合理的估计出这些矿物质“可望存在多少年”,也就是说,经过若干年后,这些矿物的全部已知矿源和储量将消耗殆尽。 下面我们再列举几个实例: 例3. Prior to the twentieth century,women in novels were stereotypes of lacking anyfeatures that made them unique individuals and were also subject to numerous restrictionsimposed by the male-dominated culture. 在20世纪以前,小说中的妇女像都是一个模式。她们没有任何特点,因而无法成为具有个性的人;他们还要屈从于由男性主宰的文化传统强加给他们的种种束缚。 例4. This method of using“controls”can be applied to a variety of situations,and can beused to find the answer to questions as widely different as “Must moisture be present if iron is torust?”and “Which variety of beans gives the greatest yield in one se ason?” 这种使用参照物的方法可以应用于许多种情况,也能用来找到很不相同的各种问题的答案,从“铁生锈,是否必须有一定的湿度才行?”到“哪种豆类一季的产量最高?”

翻译 一、翻译的步骤 1)化简 所谓化简就是将整段的翻译按照句号划分为每个句子。然后将每个句子翻译出来就可以了。这样的话你只要能把每句话里面核心的东西翻译出来(即采点翻译)就可以得到分 数了 2)二次化简 所谓二次化简就是在你把整段分成每个句子之后,再将每个句子根据连词(and,but,then,while等),逗号等分成更小的部分,往往分成更小的部分之后你就更有可能得分,因为这样的话你就抓住了采分点 3)还原 所谓整合就是等你把每个分句的分句翻译出来之后你必须要还原到一个完整的句子里面去,这样有助于你从整个句子的高度去猜测个别词汇的意思,从而使翻译不失偏颇。 4)二次还原 二次还原就是在还原,毋庸置疑,就是将每个单句整合到整个段落中去,从整个段落的 高度去把握该句是不是符合整个段落。这样可以使你的句子和段落之间是相相融的,匹 配的。

句子结构分析 主谓宾 主语不定式动名词主语从句人名地名名词 谓语找谓语就是找该句中真正的动词 宾语宾语从句 句子结构分析是非常有必要,也很重要的一步,因为句子机构划分清楚才能在翻译的时候不出错误。能从整体上去把握句子的大意。

考研英语翻译解析

2010.02 College English 研英语翻译部分是一篇400字左右组成的文章,其中包含5个划线句子,要求30分钟内准确、完整、通顺地译为汉语。作为限时完成的测试科目,考研英语翻译难度较大,众多非英语专业考生普遍感到头疼。本文通过对近十几年来考研英译汉 真题的分析,根据其特点提出了一些解题技巧。 1.试题特点 考研英语翻译的短文内容大多涉及社会生活、政治、经济、文化等题材,且体裁基本上都是议论文。通过对最近十几年来考研英语翻译的真题分析,笔者从英汉两种语言对比的角度概括了三大特点。 1.1英语重形合句子结构严谨 英语句子以形连表意连,重句法结构,主语十分重要,理解时要抓住主谓关系,否则很难理解。尤其复合句,一定要看清主句和各分句的主谓结构。 1.2英语多被动结构 英语中被动句比汉语多,尤其是科技英语。从最近十几年的考研英译汉真题中笔者发现被动结构的出现频率相当高,2002年的 5个句子中全都出现了被动结构。 1.3英语多从句,句子长且结构复杂 英语通过一整套系统语法结构组合成句子,还可通过增加限制成分、修饰语以及补充成分使句子变长、变复杂。考研英语翻译题几乎都是长而复杂的句子。 2.考生在解题中的问题 笔者通过问卷调查分析,发现考生在解题时主要有以下几个方面的问题:英语基本功不扎实,理解不透;缺乏基本翻译常识,不 懂翻译技巧;中文表达能力不强,意思表达不清。在英译汉过程中,理解与表达互相联系,理解是表达的前提,表达是理解的结果。因此可将存在的问题归为理解、表达。 2.1理解问题 翻译的第一阶段是理解,理解是最关键、基本的环节。考研英语试题句子结构都比较复杂,且很多修饰短语穿插于主要结构之间,有时还有省略,代词指代关系模糊,加之文章所谈主题、语境、语篇等因素,都会对理解造成巨大障碍。但在以上所提的诸多因素中,句子结构应是主要矛盾。 2.2表达问题 表达是指在正确理解原文的基础上,准确而通顺地再现原文思想内容。表达过程实际上是语言加工过程。理解是表达的基础,表达是理解的结果。但是对原文的正确理解并不意味着一定会有正确的表达。译文既要符合原文所表达的思想,又要求符合汉语的行文规范,还要重视语境,注意逻辑,避免文理不通,搭配不当,使译文生涩难懂。 3.考研英语翻译技巧 下面引用历年真题,介绍一些基本的翻译技巧,使考生能看得懂,学得会,用得上。 3.1定语从句的翻译 考研英语翻译解析 浙江师范大学外国语学院 赖慧云 考 笤考试专栏笤 60
