第一篇:英语翻译
2013年8月全国大学英语四六级考试委员会开始进行试卷改革。2013年12月,改革后的试卷首次正式应用于全国大学英语四六级考试。改革后的试卷难度整体增加,变革的核心主要体现在:1.听力:原复合式听写调整为单词及词组听写;2.阅读:原快速阅读调整为长篇阅读,进行信息匹配;3.翻译:原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英,四级段落长
度为140-160字,六级是180-200个汉字。改革后的试卷题型、分值、以及难度系数可以总结如下:
从上图不难看出,改革后的四六级考试试卷翻译题型的难度加大,难度系数达到0.95。而今年是全国四六级考试改革的第
二年,许多考生对新题型的考点及备考复习还是模糊不清。现在距离6月份四六级考试还有最后的20天,在这最后的关键时期,考生该如何应对翻译新题型?辅导老师就翻译新题型的考点及复习给出备考建议,希望对6月份考试的考生有所帮助。
词汇依旧是翻译的重点
词汇依然是段落翻译考核的重点。通过对历年
翻译真题的分析,不难发现:节日、历史、经济、文化、旅游、社会发展等依旧是四六级翻译常考的内容。因此,建议考生可以:一.单词复习时,要重点关注和复习有关以上几个话题的英语词汇;二.平时可以多阅读此类话题的相关文章。例如中国日报、21世纪报及其网站。选择阅读的文章的难度不可过难,明确阅读的目的是收集相关词汇和表达。
中国幸运数字(lucky numbers)的概念与其他文化相似。对广东人来说,区别好数字与坏数字的关键是根据发音。例如,2是幸运的,因为它
和“容易”的发音相似。3与生活有关。4在汉语里听起来像“死”。6代表好运。8与“繁荣”有关,所有场合都适用。9与“永恒(eternity)”相联系。起初只有皇家(the imperial family)才能用9。例如,故宫就设计有9999个房间。参考答案:
The Chinese concept of lucky numbers is similar to that of other cultures.The key to distinguish good
or bad numbers for Cantonese is based on sound, For example, the number two is fortunate, because it is similar to the sound of “easy”.Three is associated with living.The number four sounds like “death”in Chinese.Six represents good luck.Eight is associated with “prosperity” and is desirable for all occasions.Nine is associated with“eternity”.Originally it could only be used by the imperial family.For example,th
e Forbidden City was designed with 9,999 rooms.1.中国幸运数字的概念与其他文化相似:“与…相似”可译为be similar to。“其他文化的”可翻译为that of other cultures, 因为上文出现过concept of lucky numbers,所以这里就用that来代替,避免重复。
2.对广东人来说,区别好数字与坏数字的关键是根据发音:“…的关键”可译为
the key to...,注意这里的介词是to,如“门上的锁”可翻译为the key to the door。3.3与生活有关:“与...有关”可译为be associated with…。宴会通常在饭店的包间(private rooms)举行,要么是晚宴,要么是午宴。主宾(the guest of honor)通常第一个进入房间。在正式的晚宴上,主陪(the main host)和主宾对面坐,主陪背对着门,主宾
面对着门。客人应该等着被引导到他们的位置上,直到主宾和主陪都坐下之后,客人才可以坐下。宴会的主菜通常包括凉菜和热炒,通常还有象征富足蕴意的整条鱼,还有汤。上水果则标志着饭局的结束。
Banquets are usually held in restaurants in private rooms,either for dinner or lunch.The guest of honor typically enters the room fir
st.At a formal dinner the main host and guest are seated facing each other,the host with his back to the door and the guest facing the door.Guests should wait to be guided to their places and should not sit until the main host and guest have done so.Banquets usually have main course which includes cold dishes, hot stir fries, often with a whole cooked fish which symbolizes abundance, a
nd soup.Serving fruit signals the end of the meal.1.宴会通常在饭店的包间举行,要么是晚宴,要么是午宴:“举行”可译为hold,hold经常与meeting、conference、exhibition连用,表示“开会;举行展览”。“要么…要么…”可译为either…or…,表示二者中选一个,而“既不…也不…”则可译为neither…nor…,表示二者都不选。
2.客人应该等着被引导到他们的位置上,直到主宾和主陪都坐下之后,客人才可以坐下:“被引导到”可译为be guided to,guide意为“引导,指导”。“直到…才”可译为not…until…。3.上水果则标志着饭局的结束:“上”即“上菜”,可用serve表示,因在句子中作主语,所以要用其动名词形式。“标志着”可译为signal,signal本意为“信
号”,此处作动词,意为“标志着”。
根据家庭习惯不同,生日可以有多种庆祝方式。当今大多数中国人都庆祝阳历(the solar calendar)生日,但是有些人,尤其是老一辈人,仍按阴历(the lunar calendar)来庆祝生日。六十岁生日的庆祝仪式是最隆重的。在这样的庆祝仪式上,人们通常会送给老人象征长寿(longevity)的礼物,比如
带有岁月印记的微型长寿树。在这次特别的庆祝之后,每十年会再庆祝一次生日。老人的成年子女通过为父母过寿来表达对他们深深的敬意和感激。参考答案:
Depending on the family habits,birthdays can be celebrated in a variety of ways.Most Chinese these days celebrate the birthday on the Western calendar, but some,especially the older
generation,still mark their birthdays based on the lunar calendar.The grandest birthday celebration is in the sixtieth year.It is not uncommon at this celebration to give symbols of longevity,like miniature old trees showing the strength built over the passage of time.After this special celebration,a birthday celebration is held
every ten years.It is the grown children of the elderly who celebrate their parents' birthdays to show deep respect and gratitude for them.1.根据家庭习惯不同,生日可以有多种庆祝方式:“根据”可译为depend on或according to。“有多种方式”可译为 in a variety of ways,其中 a variety of 意为 “很多,各种各样”。
2.在这次特别的庆祝之后,每十年会再庆祝一次生日:“每十年”可译为every ten years。“every+时间段”表示频率,这是英语中常见的表达方式。如:every two days(每两天)。3.老人的成年子女通过为父母过寿来表达对他们深深的敬意和感激:“表达对他们深深的敬意和感激”可译为show deep respect and gratitude for them。“表达”可
用show或express。“为父母过寿”是个具有中国特色的表达,实际就是 “过生日”的另外一种说法,故可译为celebrate their parents' birthdays。
茶文化是中国传统文化的重要组成部分,有着悠久的历史。一代代的种植者和生产者使中国制茶工艺变得日臻完善。茶和中国文化有着极其紧密的联系。茶研究涉及的范围很广,有着丰富的内容。中
国茶可以分为五类。每一种都有不同于其他种类的味道和外观。绿茶是办公室职员的最佳选择,它有助于防止电脑辐射(computer radiation),补充人体水分(moisture content)。
With a long history, tea culture is an important part of Chinese traditional culture.Generations of growers and producers have perfected the Chinese way of manufacturing tea.Tea ha

2.每一种都有不同于其他种类的味道和外观:“不同于”可译为be different from, 表示“在…方面”不同时,则可在其后加介词in;“味道和外观”可译为 flavor and appearance, flavor意为“味道”,表达“甜橙口味”时,可译为orange flavor, “草莓口味”可译为 strawberry flavor。3.它有助于防止电脑辐射,补充人体所需水
分:“防止”可译为prevent,常和from搭配,表示”“保护…不受…伤害”。“电脑辐射”可译为computer radiation。“水分”可译为moisture content。火药(gunpowder)是最早出现的化学炸药和推进剂(propellant)。在火药发明之前,人们使用过许多燃烧弹(incendiary bomb)和燃烧设备。人们通常把火药的发明归因于中国的炼金术(alchemy)。众所周知,火药被列为中国的“四大发明”之一。这项发明可能早在唐朝就已经研制出来了。由于13世纪蒙古人的征战,有关火药的知识被传到全世界。最晚从14世纪开始,火药就已经开始被应用于战争中并产生了一定的影响。
参考答案:
Gunpowder was the first chemical explosive andpropellant.Prior to the invention of gunpowder,many incendiary
bombs and burning devices had beenused.The invention of gunpowder is usuallyattributed to Chinese alchemy.It is known to allthat gunpowder is listed as one of the “Four Great Inventions” of China.The invention wasmade perhaps as early as in the Tang Dynasty.Knowledge of gunpowder was spread throughout theworld as a result of the Mongol conquests in the 13th century.It was employed in warfare tosome eff
ect from at least the 14th century.1.在火药发明之前,人们使用过许多燃烧弹和燃烧设备:“在火药发明之前”可译为 prior to the inventionof gunpowder, prior to意为“在…之前”,也可翻译为before the invention of gunpowder。
2.人们通常把火药的发明归因于中国的炼金术:“归因于”可译为attribute to。
3.这项发明可能早在唐朝就已经研制出来了:“早在唐朝”可译为as early as in the Tang Dynasty。“研制”可译为make,和inventions组成词组make inventions。蒙古族牧民(herdsmen)的生活方式很有特色。牧民们喜欢吃牛羊肉和奶制品(dairy product),喜欢喝红茶和砖茶(brick tea)。他们大多住在圆形的蒙古包(ger)里。蒙古包顶上开有
天窗,用来通风(ventilation)和采光。蒙古族是一个能骑善射、能歌善舞的民族。每年七、八月举行的“那达慕”大会(Nadama Fair),是蒙古族人民一年一度的盛大节日,大会上有赛马、摔跤、射箭(archery)比赛和精彩的歌舞表演。
The Mongolian herdsmen's life style has distinguishing features.The herdsmen like eating red meat and dairy products,and drinking black tea and brick tea.Most of them live in circular gers with windows on the top, used for ventilation and lighting.The Mongolians are a group talented in riding and shooting,and singing and dancing.The Nadama Fair, which is held in July and August every year,is the Mongolian people's annual grand festival.There would be horse racing,wrestling,archery race and excellent musical and dance performances on the festival.1.蒙古族牧民的生活方式很有特色:“生活方式”可译为life style。“很有特色”即“特色鲜明”,可译为distinguishing features。2.牧民们喜欢吃牛羊肉和奶制品,喜欢喝红茶和砖茶:“牛羊肉”可译为beef and mutton,因为牛羊肉在烹调前呈红色,在营
养学上来讲属于“红肉”因此还可译为red meat。“红茶”译为英语时不是red tea,而应是black tea。3.每年七、八月举行的“那达慕”大会,是蒙古族人民一年一度的盛大节日:前半句可译成which引导的定语从句,即The Nadama Fair, which is held...。“一年一度的”可用annual表示,“一年一度的盛大节日”即annual grand festival。
请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
光棍节(Singles'Day)-11月11日是在20世纪90年代开始流行的。单身青年互相请客吃饭或送礼物给心上人,以告别单身。赠送礼物的传统使光棍节成为购物节,因为所有销售商,从卖珠宝的到卖电视的,甚至到卖汽车的,都看到了这个营销机会,并推出了光棍节促销活动。这是美国“网络星期一
(CyberMonday)”—感恩节周末后的第一天—的翻版,这天圣诞采购开始,是商人售卖最忙碌的一天。
2.Singles,Day —Nov.11 began to gain its popularity in the 1990s.Unattached young people would treat each other to dinner or give gifts to the person he/she loves to end their single status.That gift-giving helped to turn Single
s'Day into a shopping festival as sellers of everything from jewelry to TVs,even to cars saw a marketing opportunity and launched Singles'Day sales.It is similar to Monday in the United States—the day after Thanksgiving weekend,when online Christmas shopping begins and merchants have their busiest sales day.1.单身青年互相请客吃饭或送礼物给心上人,以告
别单身:“互相请客吃饭”可译为treat each other to dinner。treat表示“请客,款待;对待”,常用于以下词组中:trick or treat(不招待就使坏)、dutch treat(各付己账)、treat with(处理;应付)、treat as(对待;把......看作….)。“告别单身”即“结束单身状态”,可译为end their single status。2.赠送礼物的传统使光棍节成为购物节,因为所有

感恩节周末后的第一天—的翻版,这天圣诞采购开始,是商人售卖最忙碌的一天:“…的翻版”是翻译难点。“翻版”的意思就是“二者(在某种程度上)相同”,或者说是一个事物的两种表现形式。但译为the same as是不贴切的,因为二者并不相同,可用similar to表达。
3.中国文化中,红色通常意味着好运和快乐。在中国的春节和其他节日,以及家庭聚会中,到处都可以看到红色。就像每年春节都会给的红包所传达的一样,红色象征来年吉祥如意。红色常见
于中式婚礼中,因为婚礼上的新婚夫妇往往非常快乐,而且穿戴红色有助于把结婚当天的坏运气赶走。但是穿红色衣服参加葬礼是很不明智的。
参考答案:
The color of red in Chinese culture usually means good luck and joy.Red is found everywhere duringChinese Spring Festival and other holidays and family gatherings.So as the red packet,which is given every Spring Festival,conveys,red is a symbol of happiness and good luck in t
he coming year.Red is often seen in Chinese weddings,because the newly married couple in wedding tend to be very happy and in red will help them chase out the bad luck on their wedding day.But it is not wise to wear red clothes when attending a funeral.1.红色象征来年吉祥如意:“象征吉祥如意”可译为a symbol of happiness and good luck。

4.中西方饮食习惯的主要区别在于:中国把菜肴放在桌上大家共享,西方则每
个人都有自己的食盘。中国的餐桌礼仪是指中国人的传统用餐方式。自中国古代起,就有许多人们必须注意的餐桌礼仪,比如餐具(cutlery)如何摆放,如何在宴会上落座等。通常情况下,尊贵的人应坐尊位(seat ofhonor),地位较低的人根据各自地位高低相应落座;长者座位的朝向最好。The main difference between Chinese and westerneating habits lies in that dishes in
China are placedon the table for everybody to share, while everyonehas their own plate of food in the West.Chinesetable manners are the traditional eating styles ofChinese people.There are many table manners that one must pay attention to, which date from thetime of ancient China, such as how to place the cutlery, how to sit in a banquet, and so on.Under normal conditions,honorable people should take the seats of honor, and h
umbler ones thensit down according to their status;the elders, scats face the best direction.1.中西方饮食习惯的主要区别在于:中国把菜肴放在桌上大家共享,西方则每个人都有自己的食盘:“…的主要区别”可译为main difference between and…;“放”可译为place;后半句可译为由while引导的并列句,即:while everyonehas…。2.自中国古代起,就有许
多人们必须注意的餐桌礼仪,比如餐具如何摆放,如何在宴会上落座等:“自…起”可译为date from;“注意”可译为pay attention to;“餐具”可译为cutlery"宴会”可译为banquet。3.尊贵的人坐尊位,地位较低的人根据各自地位高低相应落座:长者座位的朝向最好:“坐座位”可译为take the seats;“尊位”即“尊贵的座位”,可译为
seat of honor,故“坐尊位”可译为 take the seatsof honor;“地位”可译为 status;“ 据各自地位落座”可译为sit down according to their status。
