2015年12月大学英语四级翻译模拟练习与答案解释 翻译题目1、 在这个信息爆炸的时代，大学生的阅读习惯变得碎片化、功利化。一项调查结果显示，许多大学生每日阅读不足1小时，而上网时间却超过了4小时。现在年轻人喜欢看一些“更实用的”书籍，如考试指导及职业指南。专家指出，碎片化、功利化阅读削弱了学生的思考以及分析能力。他们一再强调，学生应多去阅读人文作品以提升自身的审美品位（aesthetic taste）。 表达难点 1.第1句中的“大学生的阅读习惯变得碎片化、功利化”如果直译为the reading habit of college students becomes fragmented and utilitarian 则意思传达得不清晰，应转换成“大学生以……方式来阅读”（read in a…manner），以便于理解。 2.第2句中的“每日阅读时间不足1小时，而上网时间却超过了4小时”如果直译为the time for reading is less than one hour every day, while the time online is more than four hours 则表达冗长、生硬，不如译为动词短语read for…, but spend…，这样处理更简洁、更符合英语表达习惯。 3.在倒数第2句中，“能力”的定语“学生的思考以及分析”较长，可将其处理成后置定语，用不定式短语to think and analyze 来表达。 4.在最后一句中“一再强调（某人做某亊）”的常用表达是insist that（sb. do sth.）：“以提升自身的审美品位”表目的，故将其处理成目的状语，译作to develop aesthetic taste of their own. 参考译文 In an era of information explosion, college students are now reading in a fragmented and utilitarian manner. According to a survey, many college students read for less than an hour every day, but spend more than four hours online daily. Young people nowadays like to read "more practical" books, such as guidance for exams and occupations.
