翻译练习

在交叉路口转弯的时候,我的脚踏车把一位陌生先生的右脚踝压伤了。这位先生一手牵扯着一个刚会走路模样的小男孩,一手牵着一个步履蹒跚的老中风病患者。本来我可以安全避闪。在我惊魂未定,讷讷不知所措的时候,那位先生已牵着小男孩和老者慢慢离去,我愣愣地目送他们,三个脚步迟缓的背景构成一幅感人的画面。我有搁下车子跟上去帮助那位先生的冲动。可是,我一直没有做;我发觉小孩和老者好像那位先生肩上的两头担子,再艰苦他也不肯放下任何一边的。 But all this would count nothing had not the orange such delightful qualities of taste. I dare not let myself go upon this subject. I am a slave to its sweetness. I grudge every marriage in that it means a fresh supply of orange blossom, the promise of so much golden fruit cut short. However, the world must go on. With the orange we do live year in and year out. That speaks well for the orange. The fact is that there is honesty about the orange which appeals to all of us. If it is going to be bad-for the best of us are bad sometimes—it begins to be bad from the outside, not from the inside. How many a pear which presents a blooming face to the world is rotten at the core. How many an innocent-looking apple is harboring a worm in the bud. But the orange has no secret faults. Its outside is a mirror of its inside, and if you are quick you can tell the shopman so before he slips it into the bag.

2017考研英语翻译模拟练习题(2)

凯程考研集训营,为学生引路,为学员服务! 第 1 页 共 1 页 2017考研英语翻译模拟练习题(2) There is no question that science-fiction writers have become more ambitious, stylistically and thematically, in recent years. (1) (But this may have less to do with the luring call of academic surroundings than with changing market conditions —a factor that academic critics rarely take into account.) Robert Silverberg, a former president of The Science Fiction Writers of America, is one of the most prolific professionals in a field dominated by people who actually write for a living. (Unlike mystery or Western writers, most science-fiction writers cannot expect to cash in on fat movie sales or TV tie-ins.) (2) (Still in his late thirties, Silverberg has published more than a hundred books, and he is disarmingly frank about the relationship between the quality of genuine prose and the quality of available outlet. )By his own account, he was “an annoyingly verbal young man ” from Brooklyn who picked up his first science-fiction book at the age of ten, started writing seriously at the age of thirteen, and at seventeen nearly gave up in despair over his inability to break into the pulp magazines. (3)( At his parents ’ urging, he enrolled in Columbia University, so that, if worst came to worst, he could always go to the School of Journalism and “get a nice steady job somewhere ”.) During his sophomore year, he sold his first science-fiction story to a Scottish magazine named Nebula. By the end of his junior year, he had sold a novel and twenty more stories. (4) (By the end of his senior year, he was earning two hundred dollars a week writing science fiction, and his parents were reconciled to his pursuit of the literary life. )“I became very cynical very quickly,” he says. First I couldn ’t sell anything, then I could sell everything. The market played to my worst characteristics. An editor of a schlock magazine would call up to tell me he had a ten-thousand-word hole to fill in his next issue. I ’d fill it overnight for a hundred and fifty dollars. I found that rewriting made no difference. (5)( I knew I could not possibly write the kinds of things I admired as a reader —Joyce, Kafka, Mann —so I detached myself from my work.) I was a phenomenon among my friends in college, a published, selling author. But they always asked, “When are you going to do something serious?” —meaning something that wasn ’t science fiction —and I kept telling them, “ When I ’m financially secure.” 答案 1.但是这一点与其说是与学术环境具有诱惑力的召唤有关,还不如说是与变化的市场状况有关——一这是一个学术评论家很少考虑的因素。 2.还不到四十岁,西尔弗伯格就已出版了一百多本书籍,而他对真正散文的质量与应时之作的质量之间的关系十分坦诚,毫无掩饰。 3.在他双亲的敦促下,他报考了哥伦比亚大学,所以即便最糟他也能进入新闻学校,“将来总可以有一份稳定的好工作。” 4.到大四结束的时候,他每星期写科幻小说已经可以赚两百美元了,而他的双亲也接受了他对于文学生涯的追求。 5.我知道我写不出作为读者的我所喜欢的东西,就像乔伊斯、卡夫卡、曼恩的作品,所以我不再那么关注我所写的东西。 总体分析 本文介绍了科幻小说家罗伯特·西尔弗伯格。文章先指出科幻小说的繁荣与市场需求关系紧密,接着通过介绍多产的科幻小说家西尔弗伯格的创作经历予以说明。 本文考查的知识点:后置定语、插入语、比较结构、同位语、上下文中词义的选择,等。

When it was Xiangyun’s turn to compose a verse amid a drinking game,she made fun of the maids by saying, holding a duck head in hand,“This ya tou (referring to the duck head in hand) is not that ya tou (referring to the maids around, as both are homophones in Chinese), for this ya tou has applied no hair oil….” Everybody roared with laughter. Some maids protested, laughing,“You made fun of us, so you have to drink another cup. Let’s pour a full cup her….”As the party went on drinkers’ games continued with ceaseless laughter and people suddenly noticed that Xiangyun had disappeared. While they looked this way and that,a maid rushed in laughing,“ Young ladies. Hurry to have a look at the Lady Xiangyun. She’s sleeping on the stone bench over there.” The group tiptoed over,and sure enough,saw Xiangyun sleeping soundly. Fallen flowers scattered on her body,her hair and her face. Her fan had dropped on the ground aside. Bees danced in the air around her. Under her head was a make-shift pillow of peony flowers wrapped with

综合练习(二) 一、英译汉 If people mean anything at all by the expression "untimely death", they must believe that some deaths run on a better schedule than others. Death in old age is rarely called untimely---a long life is thought to be a full one. But with the passing of a young person, one assumes that the best years lay ahead and the measure of that life was still to be taken. History denies this, of course. Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those of Marilyn Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and complete.Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year. The idea that the life cut short is unfilled is illogical because lives are measured by the impressions they leave on the world and by their intensity and virtue. 参考答案: 如果人们藉“英年早逝”这一字眼真的意欲表达什么含义的话,他们必然相信某些人的辞世可以算是寿终正寝,而另一些人则“死不逢时”。死于年迈很少被冠以“死不逢时”之名,因为能度过漫长的一生被认为是甚为圆满的。反之,如果所碰到的是一位年轻人之死,人们会以为这位年轻人风华正茂,前途无可限量,生命的倒计时尚未真正开始。 当然,历史否定这一切。在诸多较为著名的“英年早逝”的情形中,我们会忆起玛丽莲·梦露与詹姆斯·迪恩斯之死,其生命的短暂丝毫无损于其生命的完整性。对于约翰·济慈年方26便溘然长逝这一事实,文人墨客们皆痛不欲生,但他们中仅有半数人诙谐地认为,设若他们也死于这一年龄,其一生可视为失败。视英年早逝为不圆满,这一观念有悖于逻辑,因为衡量生命的尺度乃是留给世界的印记,是生命的力度及其美德。 汉译英 吸收外商直接投资,是中国对外开放基本国策的重要组成部分。二十多年来,随着改革开放逐步深化,中国吸收外资的规模和质量不断提高。截至2001年7月底,中国累计批准设立的外商投资企业37.8万家,合同外资金额7170.1亿美元,实际使用外资金额3728.3亿美元。 今年以来,外商来华直接投资继续保持良好势头。1-7月,共批准设立外商投资企业1.4万家,比去年同期增长18.2%;合同外资金额402.9亿美元,增长45.8%;实际使用外资金额242.1亿美元,增长21.7%。 参考答案: FDI absorption constitutes an important component of China's basic state policy of reform and opening up. As the reform and opening up going into depth over the past two decades and more, China has been constantly improving its FDI utilization in terms of scale and quality. As of the end of July 2001, China had cumulatively approved 378,000 foreign funded enterprises with a contractual value of USD 717.01 billion, of which USD 372.83 billion had been actually paid in. China has maintained a good momentum in its FDI attraction since this year. January through July, 14,000 foreign-invested enterprises were approved to establish, 18.2% higher than the corresponding period of last year, the contractual value of foreign investment grew by 45.8% to USD 40.29 billion and the actually utilized value climbed by 21.7% to USD 24.21 billion. 综合练习(三) 一、英译汉 A good book may be among the best of friends.

参考译文: (1) 美国人的空间与中国人的场所 美国人有空间意识,没有场所概念。如果你去住在郊外的美国人家中作客,你要做的第一件事几乎总是不由自主地走向观景窗。说来真怪,你在主人屋内首先赞扬他屋外的景色多么美!主人很高兴你会欣赏他屋外的远景。远方的地平线不仅仅是天地间的分界线,而且是未来的象征。美国人不会扎根于他的寓所,不管这寓所多么舒适:他的目光被辽阔的空间引向地平线上的一点,那是他的未来。 相比之下,来看看中国人传统的家。四周围着光秃秃的墙壁,外面是个院子,院角可能有个小花园。一进入这样一个私家小院,你就会置身于一种静谧、优美的氛围之中,那房舍、小径、石头、花草构成了一个井然有序的小天地。可是你看不到远处的风景:你前面没有任何开阔的空间,唯一的开阔空间是头顶上的天空。中国人扎根于他的场所之中。 (2) AA制(各自付账) 随后便出现了一度称作妇女解放的运动。我这一代女性宣称我们要求平等。说我们不想让别人为我们开门,我们不想让别人替我们付账。突然间,让男人请去饮酒进餐被认为是一种侮辱,认为这是男人们让我们安分守己的阴谋,所以我们拿出自己的支票簿,各付各的账。这是一个多么大的错误啊!如果我顺其自然地同意别人为我付钱的话,不仅可以省下很多钱,而且还省去了许多烦恼。我常常整顿饭都在考虑账单来了怎么办?我是否应该表示付一半?如果我不这样做,他是否期待我会吻他或……如果是他付账,我还能吃龙虾吗?在我知道如果他接受了我提出的付一半的提议而这时我又会感到失望时,提出付一半的建议又有多少是真诚的呢?如果他的钱没有我的钱多,账单全部由我付吗? 翻译练习(1): The growth of e-trade during the past few years is, without doubt, the most formidable development in the history of commerce —and there seems to be no foreseeable slowing down. The speed of penetration of this medium into every commercial media is almost incomprehensible to even the most ardent cyber-enthusiasts. Not since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century has development so dramatically altered the path of human behavior. The possibilities of further developments seem literally without limits. Future cyber applications to business, not even explored, seem to have no boundaries. Nor are these developments restricted to interface with current desktop and laptop computers. The increasing appearance of wireless appliances, such as cellular phones, not to mention the infinite means of transmitting and distributing messages from one point to another and the continuing miniaturization of equipment, promise to alter our means of doing commerce throughout the world. Who knows what other, never before invented communication media will surface tomorrow and in the next few years? The impact of this technical revolution is having on retail commerce and on the means we have come to associate with traditional retail marketing is felt more and more every day. It is likely to revolutionize the relationships marketers have with retailers, their channels of distribution, their suppliers, their advertising agencies and their ultimate consumers. Marketers will need to examine how the rocketing cyberspace developments will affect their
