四级写作与翻译最新真题解析

2012年12月大学英语四级考试写作部分和往年有很多不同之处。这不仅让参与这次考试的考生感到头痛不已，也让正在备考的同学们万分困扰，抓不住复习的方向。

翻译部分是考生比较容易得分的部分，但这部分的平均得分率并不高。究竟是为什么呢？ 四级考试写作部分和翻译部分最新真题。

四 级 写 作

Directions: You’re allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will by commenting on the humorous saying, “Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world.I’ve done it hundreds of time.” You’d write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Outline 1.坚强的意志是成功的重要保证。

2.意志坚定的人才能完成伟大的使命。3.学生也是这样，不刻苦学习，终究不会成为有用之才。

本次大学英语四级考试写作题目有别于前几年传统的提纲式议论文，增添了几分新意，话题也较抽象，不易下手。这也让习惯了传统四级写作模式的同学们顿时手足无措。

面对出其不意的四级写作题目，我们应该怎么办呢？单纯背诵模板已经不再是复习四级写作的最佳途径了，我们应该重点培养和提升应对考试的写作能力和技巧，真正做到以不变应万变。

一、审题阶段 1.英文提示

1)以往的英文部分一般只是交代写作的题目。而这次的英文部分却是对写作内容提出了具体的要求：Comment on the humorous saying, “Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world.I’ve done it hundreds of time.” 如果考生还是像以前那样只看中文提纲，就会忽略掉这个重要的信息。

2)虽然试题要求考生能够结合戒烟屡次而不成功的幽默引语来阐释话题。但这次考试的题目是Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will，article的核心主旨应该在关键词strong will上。然而很多考生在审题时没有能抓住主题，把重心放到了戒烟上，导致了全文偏离主题，这样分数自然不会理想。

3)这次的英文部分对article长度给出了更明确的要求。以往的词数要求一般是“不少于120词”，而这次要求“不少于120词，不多于180词”。2.中文提纲

1)常见的四级写作提纲有三种形式：现象描述型，问题解决型，观点对比型。

乍看起来，这次考试的提纲似乎并不符合任何一种。这也让不少考生头疼。不过，对比之后可以发现，虽然这次的话题是“成功”，比较抽象，不是具体现象，但这个提纲和现象描述型提纲最为接近。所以考生可以根据现象描述型article的思路来展开。2)总的来说，这道试题其实是需要考生分析“坚强意志”和成功的关系，应把重心放到对“坚强意志”重要性的论述上。

二、谋篇布局

四级写作常见的结构是三段式： 第一段：总述现象，引出话题。

第二段：重点分析阐释“坚强意志的重要性”，可以通过举实例(如名人轶事或身边同学的例子，也可以利用戒烟失败作为反例)第三段：推出结论，并再次重申坚强意志的重要性，达到首尾呼应的效果。

三、衔接过渡

四级写作非常注重段落与段落之间的过渡，以及段落内的层次，因此过渡词的应用非常重要。

常用的过渡表达有：

举例关系：a case in point is...，a good example of that would be...，for instance 结果关系：accordingly，thus，consequently，hence，therefore，for this reason 归纳总结：in conclusion，on the whole，in sum，in short，to sum up，in summary，in a nutshell

范文

No great work can be performed without willpower.We envy famous men and imagine that fame was due to some trick of luck.But when we know their histories, we find that it is long years of hard work and constant effort that have brought about their success.Just as we can’t reach the top of a mountain without climbing, we can’t achieve success without determination.Modern society provides people with more opportunities than before, and there are stories about people who enjoy overnight successes.But it is not the case.Before these people become successful, a lot of hard work has been done, mostly unnoticed.What we see is the result, but what we ignore is a long process of struggling forward and wrestling with internal or external obstacles.Take quitting smoking for example.Most people find it difficult, so people give up on quitting because they don’t have a strong will.In a nutshell, a strong will is an important quality of the successful individual.There is no instant success in this world.Willpower is what you need to make your life distinctive and your dreams come true.四 级 翻 译

四级翻译是很多考生在备考阶段最容易忽视的一个部分。很多同学误以为翻译考查的语法知识点会很难，分值又不高。

其实，这一部分是最容易在短期内提高的部分，只要考生在复习时明确考查重点和方向，并能掌握一些相应的做题技巧，通常可以得到理想的分数。

四级翻译考查的重点是基本的语法结构和一些常用的英语表达习惯。简而言之，在历年四级翻译的考试中，有三大常考的考点: 1.固定搭配

2.重点语法结构

包括虚拟语气，倒装结构，非谓语动词和三大从句

3.核心动词和动词短语

在明确了翻译的考查重点之后，我们应该要知道翻译解题的步骤，这样可以有效地提高我们的解题速度和正确率。

翻译的解题一般分三步走: 第一，快速浏览英文，判断划线句子的形式和时态；

第二，看括号里的汉语句子，以核心谓语动词作为切入点，找准主谓宾，分清定状补； 第三，先翻译主谓宾，后定状补，切块翻译，重组。我们一起来分析一下11年12月份的四级考试翻译真题：

87.Charity groups organized various activities to ____________(为地震幸存者筹款).88.Linda _______________(不可能收到我的电子邮件), otherwise, she could have replied.89.It’s my mother ____________(一直鼓励我不要灰心)when I have difficulties in my study.90.The publishing house has to _________________(考虑这本小说的受欢迎程度).91.It’s wrong to _____________(仅仅以金钱来定义幸福).考点分析

87题：考查动词raise的用法，raise money/funds 表示“筹款”。

88题：考点是虚拟语气。而且是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，“could have+过去分词”是此题使用的结构。这个结构非常经典，基本每两次考试就可能考到一次。

89题：考查了it’s...that/who...强调句型和动词encourage的搭配。

90题：考查了“考虑”的表达，四级核心高频词汇consider，可以用词组take...into account/ consideration。

91题：考查了“定义”的表达，为define/measure。“以……来定义”也可以使用in terms of 这个四六级高频核心介词短语，简洁的表达可选择by。

参考答案

87.raise money for the survivors of the earthquake 88.couldn’t have received my e-mail 89.who keeps encouraging me not to lose heart 90.take the popularity of this novel into consideration 91.define happiness only by money

中西方饮食习惯（eating habits）存在极大的差异。在不同于西方那种没人一盘食物的饮食习惯，在中国，菜肴是被放在桌上让大家共同分享的。如果你在中国主人家做客，就要做好有一大桌食物的心理准备。中国人对于自己的烹饪文化（culture of cuisine）感到非常自豪，而且会尽全力去展示自己的好客（hospitality）。而且有时候，中国主人会用他们的筷子把食物夹到你的碗里或者盘子中。这是礼貌的体现。

第四篇：历年四级写作真题

专四辅导之便条写作

（一）便条的写作

便条是一种简单的书信形式。要求考生仔细阅读和分析所给的情景，确定便条所涉及的内容，如写便条者与便条接收者的身份、两者之间的关系及情景的正式程度等。

便条的特点在于内容简短，大多是临时性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。与正规书信相比，便条的语言更为口语化，比如要通知某事只需这样开头：Just a line to tell you that...而无须像正规书信那样This is to inform you that...开头。有急事需要告诉别人而又不能面谈时，就可以写便条，如请假条、留言条等。一般不写地址，与普通书信基本相同。结尾时也无需要结尾礼词，只需要写上便条者姓名。

便条的日期通常写在右上角，一般只要写上星期几，也可以写明上午、下午的具体时间；日常应用中，写上几月几日的也很普遍。但一般不写年份，因为便条的内容多半是当日或近日内要办的事情。

便条具有用途广泛、形式简单、文字要求不十分严格的特点。

基本写作格式

便条内容和类型不尽相同，可以灵活变通。但必须包括以下四个基本要素； 1）Date：便条日期2）Salutation：称呼3）Body：正文 4）Signature：署名

注意事项

1.词句简洁，尽量避免应酬语和敬词 2.切忌内容空洞、言不达意。分类举例

1）请假（Asking for Leave）

例1 Directions: You are about to write a Business Leave Note of about 100 words.Please describe the information clearly.1)the reason you ask for the leave 2)the time and how long you will leave

Aug.22nd Secretary Li, I’m sorry to apply for ten days’ leave from the Aug.23rd to sept.3rd instant.As I have to leave with the time is urgent.My father now in the hospital is badly ill.I have to go to see him and take care of him for a few days.You know I’m the only child in my family.Of course I will show you the telegram about my father’s illness which is received from my mother to support my application.As concern as the missed lessons during my absence, I promise I will do my best to catch them on after I come back to the campus.Wish for your allowance.Yours respectfully，××× 本文是一封请假条，一般我们要向上级或老师请假，通常用的是ask for leave这个短语，请三天假可写作：ask for three days’ leave;因病请假则是ask for sick leave.leave在这里是名词用法，文中用的短语是apply for意为“申请”，含有更加郑重的意味，常用于下级对上级或晚辈对长辈的书面语中，“Only child”意为“独生子女”相应的，“独生女”译作“only daughter”而“独生子”译作“only son”.As concern as后面跟名词性结构，意为“涉及到，至于”与Concerning同义，两者可以互换。

例2 Directions: Your father is seriously ill, and you want to go back home.Write a note to the secretary and it should include 1)the cause for leaving;2)the days: from 16th to 21st;3)Catch on the lesson after returning school.July 5th Dear Miss Huang, My sister called me last night, and she said that my father is dangerously ill.I beg to apply for seven days’ leave of absence from 16th to 21st instant, in order that I can see my beloved father.I should be much obliged if you would grant me my application.As regards the lessons to be missed during my absence, I will do my best to make up for them as soon as I get back from home.Sincerely yours，××× I should be much obliged if you would...是一种客套语，表示“……，我当不胜感激。”“补课”的英文是to make up for the lessons。2)约请(Invitation)Directions: You have a ticket to the Russian National Ballet Troupe, which is visiting and you want to give it to your friend Alice.Write a note to her and say: 1)the time of the show, 2)the place where you will wait for her.Sunday Dear Alice, Here is a piece of good news for you.The Russian National Ballet Troupe, which is now on a visit in Beijing, will give a performance in the Beijing Grand Theater tomorrow evening.I am sure that you will be happy to watch it.Here I leave you an admission card.The performance will begin at seven o’clock sharp.I will wait for you at the theater entrance.Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming or not.××× 约朋友一起去看戏，可是朋友不在家，只好留下票子和一张便条，但又怕朋友来不了，所以在便条最后特地写上“如果你来不了，告诉我一声”（Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming）3)道歉（Apology）

人非圣贤，孰能无过。在社会交往中，人们常常会出现一些疏忽、过失等。如果发生此类事情，就会给对方带来麻烦和不便。为了避免误解，不影响感情，在这种情况下，应写信给对方予以解释，以请求谅解。此类信要写得及时，态度要诚恳，用词需谦逊。一般在信一开始就向对方表示歉意或内疚，然后说明原因并提出补救的办法。

例1 Directions: You have missed a date of your friend, now you have to write a letter for appologization in about 100 words.May 20th Dear Lily, I am sorry I missed seeing you yesterday.I know that you must have been disappointed.I also feel worried and anxious in my heart.The fact is that my manager at the last moment asked me to prepare a urgent plan while I could not get to a phone to call you and yesterday I have worked late until about 8:30 p.m.I am terribly sorry.However, I would like to ask you out this weekend to make up for yesterday.Please give me a chance and I am waiting for your reply.××× 临时有事未能赴约，一定要把事情解释清楚并真诚的道歉，最好能有弥补（to make up），邀请对方周末再碰头（I would like to ask you out this weekend）注意句子you must have been disappointed中情态动词的用法：情态动词+完成时态，表示过去行为。这句话应该理解为“你当时一定感到很失望”。

例2 Directions: You have received a invitation from your friend, but you have already had some guests in your house.Please express the reason you can’t go clearly in about 100 words.6.April Dear Lucy, I do apologize for having to send this letter about Saturday night.When I accepted your invitation, I simply forgot that Saturday was a holiday and that my own guests were not leaving until Sunday morning.It is difficult for me to make a choice.Though I also wonder to meet you very much.I could not very well go out by myself and leave the guests at my home.I hope you know how sorry I am not to be with you this Saturday.Should I make a visit to you in my other spare time? Thank you very much.××× 自己家里有客人，自然不方便再接受别人邀请去做客所以可以明正言顺的表示拒绝或可另约时间。英文要强调谓语动词，可以加上助动词，例如：I do apologize for being late.例3 Directions: You are already have a date with your friend but suddenly have another thing to do and you have to tell your friend that you can’t go.Express your reason clearly in about 100 words.Monday 9:00 am Dear Jane, I am sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to come this afternoon because I have to go to the airport at 2:00 p.m.to meet an overseas visitor from Australia.I really have kept our date in my mind all these days, however, I received my boss’s e-mail this morning, he asked me to go to the airport to meet one of his friends from abroad, it’s urgent and I must go.Please forgive me.Would you please ring me up to make another time? Many thanks.××× 因有事而不能赴约，只能另约时间（to make或to fix another time）。英国人一般把“打电话”说成to ring somebody up，还可以说 to give somebody a ring，不要错以为别人要送你个戒指。美国人通常说to call somebody。与别人已经定好的约会却临时不能赴约时，应说明原因并诚恳地道歉，以期获得别人的谅解。4）借物(Borrowing)Directions: You are going to write a note for borrowing sth.Please describe these information clearly 1)the thing you ask 2)what you are going to do with it 3)how long will you take it.Tuesday Dear Xiao Wang, I wonder if I could borrow your electronic dictionary for a few days.Now I am translating some important articles.There are many new words which I have to look up the dictionary usually.I just have a paper dictionary but of course it’s not as convenient as the electronic one, which has a bad effect upon my velocity of my translating.So I think your electronic dictionary is more suitable for me to complete my work.I promise that I must be very careful of your dictionary and make no damage done on it.Thank you very much!

Yours ever，××× 字典是我们日常生活中常用的学习工具，但千万不能从字面上认为“查字典”就是“check the dictionary”，而应该用“look up”这个固定短语来表达。“影响……”有一个很地道的短语。“have effect upon/on”,如果是积极影响就在have和effect之间加a good，反之，就加“a bad”其他的形容词例如great，remarkable也可以用来修饰effect，此词在这里是名词。5）回复友人问候(Reply for Regards)Directions: You have just had an operation, and received a note of regards from your friend Jenny.Now please write a reply to her to tell her your current situation.Jan.8th.Dear Jenny, Thanks for your letter of sympathy I received the day before yesterday.The operation on my leg was a wonderful success.You know I had been suffering a lot from my leg since my childhood.The operation removed the cause of trouble.It is quite worth having the operation.I am daily recovering from my illness.I’m confident I will soon be in the office again after proper treatment.Thank you for kind wishes.My best wishes to all your family

××× 这是对好友问候便条的回复。形式简单，内容明了。过去完成进行时“I had been suffering…my childhood”表示动作从过去一直持续到现在。便条写作中的语言表达：

中国人与西方人看问题的方法的确在许多方面存在着差异，而且这种差异的的确确在束缚着中国学生，成为他们英文写作中的拦路虎，使他们不能准确而简洁地表达思想。

比如写下面一则便条，因母亲突然生病，周末你不能和汤姆去跳舞了，你找了舞跳得很好的时黛来代替你，并表示抱歉。

July 6

Dear Tom，I am sorry to inform you that I won't be able to go to dance with you this weekend．My mother is suddenly taken ill．In order not to disappoint you，I have asked Shi Dai to take my place．She is a better dancer，I think．

My regrets．

Joe 从便条中可看出，英语表达先“果”—I won't be able to go to dance with you this weekend后“因”—my mother is suddenly taken ill，即所谓“先果后因”。

一般来说，在单个句子中，英语句子也是先中心，也就是将主要思想、结果放在句首，放在主句里表达；而汉语正相反，一般为后中心，主要的观点、信息往往放在句末。如：He had to stay at home yesterday because he was ill．（因为他病了，昨天他不得不呆在家里。）

Tragedies can be written in literature since there is tragedy in life．（生活中既然有悲剧，文学作品就可以写悲剧。）

所以说，大学生用英文写作时，要按照英美人的思维模式进行思考，避免写出中国式的英语。

2010年Should College Students Hire Cleaners Buying or Borrowing Books?

Books are close friends of humanity.They can arm us with knowledge and information we need to make success of life.Through books we can obtain skills and techniques for survival and development.Through books we can enlighten our spirits and live a fuller life.There are generally two ways in which we can access to books: borrowing or buying.While millions are borrowing books, I still think buying them best suits me and gives me the greatest enjoyment.Admittedly, there are a few merits for borrowing books.For one thing, borrowing books can save us huge amounts of money.And of course, with the money saved we can do other more worthy things.And also, as we borrow books from the library and friends, we normally have deadline to finish them, and consequently we can read more books in a limited time.And we can, above all, better our efficiency of our reading, just as a famous Chinese saying goes, “books can not be read unless borrowed.”

However, some advantages for buying books are more obvious and compelling.One of them, definitely not shared by the choice of borrowing books, is the abundance of freedom that buying books can offer us.Since we can keep the books as long as we wish, we can read as much as we want.Another strength of owing books is that we can take whatever notes on the margin of the pages of the books.And finally, the process of selecting and keeping books can be a great fun that borrowing books can by no means offer.While borrowing books can, to some extent, quench our thirst for knowledge, buying books gives us greater pleasure of selecting and keeping the best of the world treasure.Can we think of any thing else more delightful and rewarding?
