一、增词
在段落翻译时，为了能充分的表达原文含义，以求达意，翻译时有必要增加词语来使英文的表达更加顺畅。例如：虚心使人进步，骄傲使人落后。
译文为： Modesty helps one to go forward, whereas conceit makes one lag behind.其中间加上了增连词whereas，以使英语的句子表达更加有逻辑性。
二、减词
考生要明白，英语的表达倾向简洁，汉语比较喜欢重复，重复作为汉语的一种修辞手法，在某种场合下，重复的表达一个意思，是为了强调，加强语气。汉语中为了有更强的节奏感和押韵，也经常会出现排比句。考生在翻译这些句子时，为了符合英文表达的逻辑，就要有所删减或省略。例如：这是革命的春天，这是人民的春天，这是科学的春天!让我们张开双臂，热烈拥抱这个春天吧!
译文为：Let us stretch out our arms to embrace the spring, which is one of the revolution, of the people, and of science.以上的汉语是比较重复的排比句，汉译英时考生要遵守英语的逻辑表达，加上定语从句来翻译，这样英文句子读起来也朗朗上口。
三、词类转换
英语语言的一个很重要的特点，就是词类变形和词性转换，尤其是名词、动词、形容词之间的转换。例如：她的书给我们的印象很深。
译文为：Her book impressed us deeply.在此翻译中汉语中的名词印象转化成英语中的动词impress。

景泰蓝(Jingtailan)艺术是雕刻、绘画和塑瓷(porcelainmaking)的独特融合。据说景泰蓝于元朝时诞生于北京，现存最古老的景泰蓝就造于元朝。但是景泰蓝在明朝时经历了巨大的变革。那时，人们认为景泰蓝最为复杂。然而，由于熔铜技术(copper-melting techniques)的伟大发明，景泰蓝于清朝时达到顶峰。用景泰蓝能够制成大件物品，如花瓶、其他器皿和装饰品，也能制成小物品，如耳环、手镯或筷子。新中国成立以来，涌现出了很多新品种的景泰蓝，在国内外享有很高的声誉。

China has passed the first property law, ordering to protect Beijing’s hundreds of courtyards.But critics say, so-called “conservation” just means knocking down an old building and replacing it with a structure in a traditional style.For this,Ma Yansong’s opinion is “The way is just to build fake antiques, it is not nice.These hutongs attract many tourists.The poor,old residents are either like actors in a theme park or they are kicked out so that the rich can buy these houses.The spirits of oldBeijing are now dying away.”
中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化，有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。例如，土豪和大妈都是老词，但已获取了新的意义。
土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主，现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人，也就是说，土豪有钱，但是没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼，但是现在特指不久前金价大跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。

同样，在工作中还存在偏见和沙文主义。我们总以为在女经理与男经理之间实现了平等，但事实并非如此。玻璃(有人说混凝土)天花板在许多地方仍然存在着。所以，如果你处于少数，则应该细想一下它会怎样影响你事业上的发展机会。不要怨恨和觉得痛苦，但一定不要让自己闲着。这也许是应该辞职去寻找更好的工作的时候了。
【参考翻译】
Also, prejudice and chauvinism still exist in the workplace.While we like to think women managers have achieved parity with men, this isn't true.The glass(some say concrete)ceiling stull exists in many places.So, if you're a minority, consider how this is affecting your advancement chances.Don't be bitter, but do get busy.It may be time to get out and find something better.2.【请将下面一段话翻译成英文】
公园免费开放
长久以来，人们一直对市区公园是否应该收门票的话题争论不休。一些人认为市区公园是用纳税人的钱建立起来的，是供人们休闲、娱乐的公共场所，因此应该是免费的。另一方面，还有一些人称，考虑到中国人口众多，公民责任意识淡薄的情况，一旦免费开放市区公园，这些公园会管理不善，将不可避免地受到损坏。综合考虑两种观点，我较认同后者。可以确定的是市区公园免费开放要与经济发展情况相适应，因为这需要财政的支持。因此，以中国现有的经济水平，免费开放市区公园的目标要逐步实现。
【翻译词汇】
市区公园 urban park
门票 entrance fee
纳税人 taxpayer
休闲 leisure
娱乐 entertainment
公共场所 public establishment
考虑到 considering
公民责任意识淡薄 lack of a sense of civic duty
较认同 be inclined to

【精彩译文】
The question whether urban parks should charge an entrance fee or not has been a source of controversy for a long time.On the one hand, some people claim that
urban parks, supposed to be places where people have leisure and entertainment, are public establishments that have been created with taxpayers’ money and thus should be free.On the other hand, some others maintain that, considering China’s large population and lack of a sense of civic duty, once the parks are free of charge, they will not be properly managed and will inevitably be damaged.When considering opinions of both sides, I am inclined to the latter view.It’s certain that free entry to urban parks should proceed with economic development, as it needs financial support.Hence, the current economic level in China reflects that free entry to parks can only be realized step by step.3.请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
方言
最近，一些地方大学开始将方言列为某些学生的必修课程，学生们要学习当地方言，然后被评分以作为毕业的依据之一。一方面，支持此种做法的人认为，将方言列为必修课可防止其消失，从而使当地传统文化和文化多样性得以弘扬，同时城市独特的个性得以保留。另一方面，反对此种做法的人争论说，当地学生与外地学生相比有很多绝对优势，因此将方言列为必修课会引起教育不公平的问题。而且，将方言列为必修课程还会引起一些其他问题，如教材使用、师资问题和考试标准等。在我看来，方言作为传统文化不可缺少的一部分和一种交流工具，可以让学生自愿学习和使用，而不是强制完成。

【精彩译文】
Recently, it has been practiced by some local universities that dialect is made a compulsory course for some students, under which students are subject to learning the local dialect and then graded as one of the judging factors for them to graduate.On the one hand, people approving the practice maintain that it will help to prevent the dialect from extinguishing so that the local traditional culture and the cultural diversity can be enhanced, and the unique urban identity can be preserved
simultaneously.On the other hand, people in opposition to the practice contend that it will give rise to the appearance of educational inequality, for the local students will enjoy absolute advantages over those from other places.Moreover, the inclusion of dialect in compulsory courses will bring forth other problems like teaching material, teachers and examination standards.As far as I am concerned, dialects, as an indispensable part of local traditional culture as well as a tool for communication, can be acquired and used voluntarily, not compulsorily.4.请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
要使民主得以存在，善于思索的人与敏于行动的人都必须去除傲慢与偏见;他们 要有勇气、有全心全意的献身精神，最重要的是要有谦虚精神，去寻求与传播那 使人民永保自由的真理。朝着上述目标，我们会寻找到个人的平静，那不是歇息而是经过努力奋斗后的平静;我们会对自己的有所作为感到由衷的满意;为取得力所不能及的成就而感到 深深喜悦;懂得了我们所创造的远比我们所知道的要更为辉煌灿烂。
参考译文：
If democracy is to survive, it is the task of men of thought, as well as men at action, to put aside pride and prejudice, and with courage and single-minded devotion—and above all with humility—to find the truth and teach the truth that shall keep men free.We may find in that sense of purpose,the personal peace,not f repose,but of effort,the keen satisfaction of doing,the deep feeling of achievement for something far beyond ourselves,the knowledge that we build more gloriously than we know.5.请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
大规模消费时代
随着中国经济迅速发展到新的高度，中国目前已经进入了大规模消费时代，中国民众的购买力随着中国市场经济的发展而迅速增长。因此，那些追求物质生活的人们只要有购买力，就不可避免地会购买奢侈品。一项报告显示，中国的奢侈品消费总额占全球市场份额的四分之一，且位居世界第二，仅次于日本。然而，从消费观念方面来讲，很多中国的消费者还处在“炫耀性消费”的阶段，这是一种不健康的状态。奢侈品不应该是炫耀的手段，或者是与权力、财富和社会关系相关的标志。参考译文：
【翻译词汇】
大规模消费时代 an era of mass consumption
追求物质生活 pursue material life
购买力 purchasing power
因此 therefore
奢侈品 luxury

从„来讲 in regard to
炫耀性消费 conspicuous consumption
炫耀 show off

【精彩译文】
As China has achieved new heights in its economy and recently entered an era of mass consumption, the purchasing power of Chinese people is rising along with the development of market economy.Therefore, it is inevitable that people who pursue material life buy luxuries as long as they can afford.According to a report, the total consumption of luxuries in China accounted for a quarter of the global market share and ranked second in the world after Japan.However, in regard to consumption concept, a large number of Chinese consumers are still in the stage of “conspicuous consumption”, which is unhealthy.Luxuries should not be the tools of showing off or signs associated with power, wealth and social ties.

Landscape Painting
山水画一直以来都被誉为中国绘画的最高境界。它品位高端，很受欢迎。一般意义上，中国山水画被认为是书法，绘画及诗歌的结合或延伸。汉语“山水”这个词是由“山”和“水”两个汉字组成，且与道教的哲学思想相联系，它强调的是人与自然的和谐。中国画家描绘的不总是真实的世界，他们呈现出来的是自己想象出来的风景，这些风景不再只是对眼前世界的描绘，而是画家内在思想的写照。因此，人们认为欣赏山水画除了可以很好地了解画家的内心世界之外，还可以净化自己的灵魂。
Landscape painting is traditionally considered as the highest form of Chinese painting styles.It is very popular and is associated with refined scholarly taste.Chinese Landscape painting in general is seen as a combination or extension of calligraphy ,painting ,and poetry.The Chinese term for “landscape” is made up of two characters meaning “mountains and water”.It is linked with the philosophy of Daoism ,which emphasizes harmony with the natural world.Chinese artists do not usually paint real place but imaginary landscape which is no longer about the description of conveying the inner mind.People therefore believe that looking at landscape painting is a good way to realize the artist’s inner heart as well as a way to purify their souls.4.中国戏曲
Chinese Opera
在中国，戏曲是一种很流行的戏剧形式，一般来说，可以追溯到唐朝时期，当时的皇帝唐玄宗创立了“梨园”。如今，许多外国人也很喜欢中国的戏曲。最吸引他们的则是独有风格-脸谱，它不仅是戏曲中的一大亮点，同时还要求独特的绘画技艺。每个演员脸上夸张的扮相代表其扮演的角色的性格和命运。熟知戏曲的观众通过观察演员的脸谱和服装就可以知道角色背后的故事。通常红色脸谱代表忠诚与勇敢；黑色代表凶猛；黄色和白色代表口是心非；金色和银色代表神秘。对于中国人，特别是老年人，欣赏戏曲是他们的一大乐趣。
Chinese Opera is a popular form of drama in China.In general ,it dates back to the Tang Dynasty with Emperor XuanZhong ,who founded the “Pear Garden”.Now Chinese opera is warmly welcomed by many foreign people.What appeals foreigners most might be the distinctive style of facial make-up, which is one of the highlights and requires distinctive designs are painted on each performer’s face to symbolize a character’s personality,and fate.Audiences who are familiar with opera can know the story by observing the facial painting as well as the costumes.Generally,a red face represents loyalty and bravery;a black face ,rough;yellow and white faces,duplicity;and golden and silver faces,mystery.For Chinese,especially older folks, to listen to opera is a real pleasure.5.京剧

Peking opera is a traditional art in china.It is a kind of Chinese opera which was born when the Four Great Anhui Troupes came to Beijing in 1790,arose in the mod-19th century and was extremely popular in the Qing Dynasty.Peking opera is widely regarded as one of the cultural treasures of China.Although it is called Beijing opera,its originally staged for the court and came into the public later.Hundreds of years ago,as a new drama form,wherever it was performed,it would be warmly welcomed.Unfortunately,in the modern world,traditional operas including Peking Opera have to face the existential crisis,because they are not easily accepted by younger generations.6.昆曲 Kunqu Opera
昆曲是中国古老戏曲中的一种，起源于江苏昆山，拥有600多年的历史。它是连接过去与现在，中国与世界的纽带，对现今中国的戏曲形式，包括川剧与京剧在内，都产生了重要的影响。昆曲蕴育了各种意象美，从音乐，舞蹈到诗歌，人们的精神世界甚至中国人的灵魂，都有所体现。正因为如此，昆曲在过去广受欢迎，也成了中国文化遗产中最珍贵的部分。但是现在，昆曲不仅面临着来自大众流行文化的挑战，而且年轻人也对其缺乏兴趣。只有进行适当的保护，昆曲才能拥有美好的未来。
Kunqu Opera,which originated in the Kunshan region of Jiangsu province,is one of China’s classical operas with a history of more than 600 years.Kunqu Opera serves as a link between past and present,China and the world.It has exerted a dominant influence on recent forms of opera in China,including the Sichuan and Beijing operas.Kunqu Opera embraced every imaginable beauty,from music and dance,to poetry and people’s spirit world and even very soul of the Chinese nation,so that Kunqu Opera is facing competition from mass culture and a lack of interest amongst the young.It can only have a bright future when it is protected in a proper way.7.唐诗 Poems of the Tang Dynasty
唐代，是中国古典诗歌的鼎盛时期，在不到300年的时间里，涌现出了许多著名的诗人和诗作。清朝时编辑的《全唐诗》（Poems of the Tang Dynasty)已收录2200多位诗人创作的48900多首诗歌。这些诗歌让人们深入了解到当时社会生活的各个方面。中国人很喜欢唐诗，就连小孩子也能背出几首，如李白的《静夜思》（Thoughts in the Silent Night)，杜甫的《春夜喜雨》(Good Rain on a Spring Night)等等。唐诗不仅是中国古代文学史上最光辉的一页，而且也是人类文化史中的一个奇迹。

中国武术拥有悠久的历史，在中国广为流行。受中国古典美学所提倡的刚柔并济的影响，中国武术形成了自己的审美标准。现在很多人习武是为了健康，娱乐和竞技。为了更好地传承这一古老的技艺，全国各地开设有很多的武术俱乐部和协会。自1980年起，一大批的武术专业的毕业生被分配到学校里教授武术。现在很多专家通过将搏斗技巧和健康结合到一起，试着将武术变为一项科学的运动。他们希望有一天，武术可以作为一项赛事纳入奥运会中。

The Great Wall
长城，作为中国的象征之一，不仅是中国的奇迹，也是整个世界的奇迹。它始建于春秋战国时期，秦始皇统一中国后，连结了各段长城以抵御外敌入侵。先纯的长城遗迹主要为建于14世纪的明长城。长城有着两千多年的历史，于1987年被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。现如今，长城仍是世界上最受欢迎的景点之一。
