改革后四六级段落翻译考纲新增考点“中国传统文化”
改革后四六级段落翻译考纲新增考点“中国传统文化”必备词句一、对龙图腾他的崇拜在中国大约已绵延了八千多年。中国龙是古人将鱼、蛇、马、牛等动物与云雾、雷电等自然天象集合而成的一种神物。中国龙的形成与中华民族的多元融合过程同步。在中国人的心目中,龙具有振奋腾飞、开拓变化的寓意和团结凝聚的精神。 Chinese Dragon Dragon totem worship in China has been around for the last 8,000 years. The ancients in China considered the dragon (or loong) a fetish that combines animals including the fish, snake, horse and ox with cloud, thunder, lightning and other natural celestial phenomena. The Chinese dragon was formed in accordance with the multicultural fusion process of the Chinese nation. To the Chinese, the dragon signifies innovation and cohesion.
。 五、Acupuncture Acupuncture is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In accordance with the “main and collateral channels”theory in TCM, the purpose of acupuncture is to dredge the channel and regulate qi and blood, so as to keep the body’s yin and yang balanced and achieve reconciliation between the internal organs. It features in traditional Chinese medicine that “internal diseases are to be treated with external therapy”. The main therapy of acupuncture involves using needles to pierce certain acupoints of the patient’s body, or adopting moxibustion to stimulate the patient’s acupoints so as to stimulate the channels and relieve pain. With its unique advantages, acupuncture has been handed down generation after generation and has now
翻译原文: 其实我一点儿不排斥电脑,也享受着它的种种方便快捷,但每当我要给最亲近的人写信时还是喜欢用笔,因为我坚信字是有生命的,有情感的,在书写的同时,我生命的一部分也随之带走了,而打字则像是请人代笔,隔着一层什么,就像打电话时尽管你能清楚地听到对方的呼吸,可有些话就是怎么也说不出来,最后还是得借助笔纸,就是这么神奇,形式的不同、工具的不同,影响到内容的不同。 参考译文: Actually I do not reject the computer at all and alsoenjoy its every kind of conv enience.Butevery timewhen I want to write to my closet people,I would liketo u se a pen.Because I firmlybelieve that charactershave their life and emotion.Whe n writing,one part ofmy life is taking awaywith it.But typing is like hiring people t o write for you.It is separated bysomething just likealthough you can clearly he ar the breath of the addressee,some words youjust can't say themout at all.At la st you have to write with the help of pen and paper.It is somagic that differentfo rmats and different tools will influence the difference of context. 下面是2014年英语四级写作必备范文:出国留学。 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on t he topicStudying Abroad. You should write at least 120 words following the outli ne given below: 1)目前很多中国学生出国留学, 2)出国留学的好处, 3)我的看法。 Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among a dolescents.Importance should be attached to studying abroad. There are a great many advantages of studying overseas. First and foremost, liv ing andstudying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On a university campus,international students are likely to encounter their counte rparts from various countries andareas and are exposed to diverse ideas and v alues. What is more, overseas experience is thebest opportunity for the real-lif e use of foreign languages. There is no better opportunity toimprove second-la nguage skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and pe rhapspainful, the payoff is worthwhile. In the first place, in addition to knowle dge, overseasstudents can gain precious experiences that those who stay at ho me will never have.Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is conducive to thegrowth of adolescents. 参考译文: 目前,出国留学在年轻人中间非常流行。我们应该充分重视留学问题。 出国留学有很多好处。首先,国外生活和学习为学生提供了一个看待世界的不同视角。在大学校园中,国际学生很可能遇到来自不同国家和地区的同伴,并且面临迥异的观念和价值。此外,海外经历是外语在实际生活运用的最佳时机。没有什么比住在母语国家提高第二外语技能的更好机会了。 总之,我认为尽管出国留学很昂贵,并且可能会痛苦,但这种付出是值得的。首先,除了知识之外,留学生可以获得留在国内的学生永远无法获得的宝贵经验。其次,尽管留学经历可能使人沮丧痛苦,然而这对年轻人的成长是有益的。 翻译原文: 杭州是中国著名的六大古都之一,已有两千多年的历史。这个城市不仅以自然美闻名于世,而且有着传统的文化魅力。不仅有历代文人墨客的题咏,而且有美味佳肴和漂亮的工艺品。一般来说,游览杭州西湖及其周边景点花上两天较为合适。到杭州旅游,既令人愉快,又能得到文化享受。

2017年12月英语四六级翻译真题 英语四级翻译真题:泰山 泰山位于山东省西部。海拔1500余米,方圆约400平方公里。泰山不仅雄伟壮观,而且是一座历史文化名山,过去3000多年一直是人们前往朝拜的地方。据记载,共有72位帝王曾来此游览。许多作家到泰山获取灵感,写诗作文,艺术家也来此绘画。山上因此留下了许许多多的文物古迹。泰山如今已成为中国一处主要的旅游景点。 英语四级翻译真题:华山 华山位于华阴市,距西安120公里。华山是秦岭的一部分。秦岭不仅分割陕南与陕北,也分隔华南与华北。与从前人们常去朝拜的泰山不同。华山过去很少有人光临。因为上山的道路极其危险。然而,希望长寿的人却经常上山,因为山上生长着许多药草,特别是一些稀有的药草。自上世纪90年代安装缆车以来,参观人数大大增加。 英语四级翻译真题:黄山 黄山位于安徽省南部。它风景独特,尤以其日出和云海著称。要欣赏大山的宏伟壮丽,通常得向上看。但要欣赏黄山美景,就得向下看。黄山的湿润气候有利于茶树生长,是中国主要产茶地之一。这里还有许多温泉,其泉水有助于防治皮肤病。黄山是中国主要旅游目的地之一,也是摄影和传统国画最受欢迎的主题。 英语六级翻译真题:青海湖 青海湖位于海拔3205米、青海省省会西宁以西约100公里处。是中国最大的咸水湖,面积4317平方公里,最深处25.5米,有23条河注入湖中,其中大部分是季节性的。百分之八十的湖水源于五条主要河流。青海湖位于跨越亚洲的几条候鸟迁徙路线的交叉处。许多鸟类把青海湖作为迁徙过程中的暂息地,湖的西侧是著名的“鸟岛”,吸引着来自世界各地的观鸟者。每年夏天,游客们也来这里观看国际自行车比赛。 英语六级翻译真题:洞庭湖 洞庭湖位于湖南省东北部,面积很大,但湖水很浅。洞庭湖是长江的蓄洪池,湖的大小很大程度上取决于季节变化,湖北和湖南两省因其与湖的相对位置而得名,湖北意为“湖的北边”,而湖南则为“湖的南边”。洞庭湖作为龙舟赛的发源地,在中国文化中享有盛名。据说龙舟赛始于洞庭湖东岸。为的是搜寻楚国爱国诗人屈原的遗体。龙舟赛与洞庭湖及周边的美景,每年都吸引着成千上万来自全国和世界各地的游客。 英语六级翻译真题:太湖 太湖是中国东部的一个淡水湖,占地面积2250平方公里,是中国第三大淡水湖,仅次于鄱阳和洞庭,太湖约有90个岛屿,大小从几平方米到几平方公里不等。太湖以其独特的“太湖石”而闻名,太湖石常用于装饰中国传统园林。太湖也以高产的捕鱼业而闻名。自上世纪70年代后期以来,捕捞鱼蟹对沿湖的

In that year,four local opera troupes of Anhui province came to Beijing on a performance tour. For the painted roles, a special feature of Peking Opera, the different colors of the faces represent different characters and personalities. Generally, red stands for uprightness and loyalty, black means wisdom, blue and green indicate the vigorous and rebellious heroes, yellow and white represent cunning and gold and silver represent mystic or super-natural power. Nowadays, Peking Opera has became one of the most popular arts among people and wide spread all over the country. 二、丝绸之路The Silk Road 丝绸之路实际上是很多条中国通往古罗马商路的总称。古代丝绸之路的起点是中国当时的古都长安(现在的西安),终点在地中海东岸,几乎有一半路程穿越新疆。丝绸之路始于汉武帝时期,不仅是佛教进入中国的通道,而且路上商旅往来络绎不绝。元朝时,丝绸之路逐渐被日益繁荣的海上贸易所取代。丝绸之路还是一条友谊之路,在政治、经济、文化方面发挥了纽带的作用。 The Silk Road is the joint name given to a number of trade routes linking China and ancient Rome. The anc ient silk road had its start in Chang’an (now Xi’an), the capital of then China, and its terminus on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean, with nearly half of it running across Xinjiang. The Silk Road began during the time of emperor Wudi of the Han dynasty, is not only an important route for Buddhism to enter china, but also an endless stream of merchants and business travelers. In the Yuan dynasty, the silk road gradually gave the way to the rapidly developing sea trade. The Silk Road was also a road of friendship, linking the west and the east
翻译训练题(一) 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。 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

[翻译技巧] 名师总结2011四六级考试翻译主要考点 四级翻译部分为汉译英,共5个句子,一句一题,句长为15-30词,句中的一部分已用英文给出,考生需根据全句意思将汉语部分译成英语,考试时间5分钟。翻译题重点考察考生对语法结构及常用英语表达习惯的掌握情况。若考生语法功底较好且句型和词组储备丰富,那么此题不会太为难。和作文相比,翻译虽只是个把句子,但来路不明难以猜测。作文尚可背诵模板以备执笔急需之用,而翻译则全无,它微小零星却锋利难防,并将考生模板式作文的画皮扯下,暴露其撰句能力的真实面目,所以令人可畏。 根据近几年的翻译真题来看,针对某项语法重复考察率比较高,所以对曾经考察过的语法点依然不可松懈。下面所提一些重点语法项目,并提出一些建议,希望对大家的备考有所帮助。 (1)句型以及其倒装使用 2008年6月翻译真题第91题: __________________________(直到他完成使命)did he realize that he was seriously ill.
