65. John has excellent interpersonal skills and is sociable, patient and a good listener. As a friend, I particularly appreciate his loyalty and sense of humor. I also admire his calmness when facing difficult situations. Therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending him for the position of Training

Manager for your company and wish him every success in his application.

61.【答案】【B-A-D-c】

【难点分析】本句中包括一个省略形式的时间状语从句,如果根据上下文补充出来.应为“when John was asked to explain what has happened”,所以该状语意为“要求约翰解释发生过的事情时”。理解主旬的难点在于对短语at a loss for words的理解,该短语意为“不知道说什么好,找不到合适的话说”。结合上述分析可知,四个选项中选项B提供的译文。选项A的问题在于错将at a loss for words译为“话让人摸不着头脑”;选项D同样错解了短语at a loss for words,将其译为“一句话也不肯说”.同时该选项还将时间状语从句中的被动语态译为主动语态,与原意有较大出入;选项C的译文与原文相比,无论在句法结构还是在语义表达上都有很大出入,只不过是对原文中个别单词意思的随意组合.最不可取。

62.【答案】【C-A-B-D】

【难点分析】翻译本句较大的一个难点是理解短语give thought t0的含义,该短语意“对……给予考虑”。特别需要注意的是thought此处不宜理解为“想法”,因为thought作“想法”之义时一般以复数形式出现。对比四个选项可以看出,选项C提供的译文。选项A的问题在于错将thought理解为thoughts.将其译为“想法”;选项B除包括选项A的错误之外,还错将keeping meetings short(控制会议长度)理解为“减少会议数量”,故不及选

项A;选项D对原句子成分的句法功能理解混乱,随意组合,与原意出入。

63.【答案】【B-A-D-c】

【难点分析】本句中包括一个含否定含义的结构“be no+形容词比较级+than”,意为“两者都不……”。此处二者都不擅长做的事是be capable of speaking Spanish(能够说西班牙语)。结合上述分析可知,四个选项中选项B的译文最贴近原意。选项A增译了介词to,同时错将Spanish(西班牙语)理解为“西班牙人”.虽然意思和原意差不多.但不够准确;选项D错解了“be no+形容词比较级+than”这一结构的含义,将其理解为表示二者在掌握西班牙语方面程度一样,因而不妥;选项C完全没有识别出原文的句法层次,有逐个将单词泽出之嫌,最为不妥。

64.【答案】【A-D-B-C】

【难点分析】理解好本句的关键在于识别出it其实是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式to establish a firm in foreign market(在国外市场建立公司)。动词take time and effort此处意为“花费/消耗时间和努力”。另外,与a foreign market意义相对的是a domestic market(国内市场)。基于以上分析对比各选项可知.四个选项中选项A提供的译文。选项D的问题在于错将establish(建立)理解为“经营”;选项B则将establish a firm无道理地拆开,导致与原意的较大出入,故不及选项D;选项C的条件关系是无中生有,与原句在句法结构和语义表达上很不符合,是四个选项中最不可取

的。

65.【答案】约翰有良好的人际沟通能力,喜欢交际,富有耐心.善于倾听。作为他的朋友,我尤其欣赏他的忠实和幽默感。另外.我还很钦佩他面临困境时的镇定。因此,我毫不犹豫地推荐他担任贵公司培训经理一职.祝愿他求职成功。

【难点分析】本文是一则推荐信,首先推荐者列举了数项被推荐者的良好素质,然后声明自己的推荐意愿。需要注意的是里面涉及到众多描述性格的词汇。翻译时要注意根据汉语的习惯。尽量将这些词汇译得工整,如sociable,patient and a good listener就可分别译为“喜欢交际,富有耐心,善于倾听”。另外名词loyalty和sense of humor分别意为“忠实”和“幽默感”.his calmness when facing difficult situations意为“他面临困境时的镇定”。末句中.I have no hesitation in doing sth.意为“毫不犹豫地做某事”。

2015考研英语翻译真题解析

Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration—one of the great folk wanderings of history—swept from Europe to America. 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe. Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world. 48) But, the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible. But the result was a new social pattern which, although it resembled European society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American. 49) The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the 15th- and 16th-century explorations of North America. In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. During their six- to twelve-week voyage, they subsisted on barely enough food allotted to them. Many of the ship were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease, and infants rarely survived the journey. Sometimes storms blew the vessels far off their course, and often calm brought unbearably long delay. “To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brou ght almost inexpressible relief.” said one recorder of events, “The air at twelve leagues’ distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.” The colonists’ first glimpse of the new land was a sight of dense woods. 50) The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a veritable real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia. Here was abundant fuel and lumber. Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores. 思路: 1.大致介绍文章主要内容 2. 逐段介绍每段的主要内容→分析句子结构→指出翻译时需要注意的点→试译→整理译文→总结翻译技巧和需掌握的单词

2015年6月13日全国大学英语四级翻译真题及答案

2 015年6月13日全国大学英语四级翻译真题及答案 大米 在西方人心目中,和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来,大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位,以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多数种植水稻,人们通常以大米为食;而华北大部分地区因为过于寒冷或过于干燥,无法种植水稻,那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国,有些人用面粉做面包,但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。 In the mind of Westerners,Chinese people have the closest connection to rice,basic food for the Chinese.For a long time,rice occupies a very important position in the Chinese diet.There is even a saying that "even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice".People in south China plant and live on rice,while people in the most parts of North China cannot plant rice due to excessively dry and cold weather. The main crop there is wheat. In China, some people use flour to bake bread,while most people make steamed bread and noodles with flour. xx 中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。构成现代世界基础的许多元素起源于中国。中国现在拥有世界上发展最快的经济,并正经历着一次新的工业革命。中国还启动了雄心勃勃的太空探索计划,其中包括到20年建成的一个太空站。目前,中国是世界最大的出口国之一,并正在吸引大量外国投资。同时,它也在海外投资数十亿美元。2011年,中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。 快递 据报道,今年中国快递服务(courier service)将递送大约120亿件包裹。这将使中国有可能超越美国成为世界上最大的快递市场。大多数包裹里装着网上订购的物品。中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。仅在11月11日,中国消费者就从国内最大的购物平台购买了价值90亿美元的商品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日。因此,快递业在中国扩展就不足为奇了。

2015年12月大学英语四级翻译模拟练习与答案解释

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. Experts pointed out that fragmented and utilitarian reading undermine students' ability to think and analyze. They insist that students read more humanity works to develop aesthetic taste of their own. 翻译题目2、 俗话说,“到北京,不到长城非好汉,不吃烤鸭(roast duck)真遗憾!”烤鸭是北京的地方风味,已有1600多年的历史。对于那些想更多地了解中国菜和中国文化习俗的人来说,北京烤鸭就是一个不错的选择。脆皮(crisp skin)和嫩肉是北京烤鸭的特点。北京最出名的老字号(centuries-old/time-honored brand)烤鸭店是“全聚德”。创建于1864年的全聚德备受各国元首、政府官员及国内外游客喜爱。 表达难点 1.第1句中的“不到长城非好汉,不吃烤鸭真遗憾!”若逐字对译0ne who fails to Great Wal1 is not a hero and it is a pity if you do not dine on Beijing Roast Duck,则句子显得冗长、生硬。釆用意译的方法将其表达为 No visit to Beijing is complete if you miss seeing the Great Wall or dining on Beying Roast Duck则更胜一筹,句子结构对称,语言简洁且到位。
