第一篇：上外英语专业八级阅卷总结
上外英语专业八级阅卷总结
2010年3月23日—4月1日，全国英语专业八级阅卷工作在上海外国语大学进行。今年全国参考考生共计189000余人，参加阅卷工作老师共220位，分听写、改错、英译汉、汉译英和写作几个组。首次采用计算机阅卷。
我院教师向洪全参加了其中的“英译汉”部分阅卷，并特别就这一方面所发现的经验得失与老师和同学们分享。
一、英译汉评分标准
总体评分标准包括两项：“译文忠实性”与“语言适切性”。按满分10分为比例，“译文忠实性”计7分：极差0-1分，不合格2-3分，合格4-5分，良好5-6分，优秀6-7分；“语言适切性”计3分：极差0分，合格1分，良好2分，优秀3分。具体言之：
优秀：能基本进行词语的正确翻译（突破英语原文词语的表层含义，实现指称、语境、语体、搭配等多方面意义的对等）；有较强的翻译转移意识——能在不改变原意的基础上进行恰当的翻译转移（能对译句进行深层次的组构，译句能符合汉语句子的信息架构和重量特点……）；语言流畅，用词恰当，符合汉语规范。
良好：能一定地进行词语的正确翻译（突破英语原文词语的表层含义，实现指称、语境、语体、搭配等多方面意义的对等）；偶尔能体现出翻译转移意识——在不改变原意的基础上进行一定的翻译转移（如对译句进行深层次的组构，译句能符合汉语句子的信息架构和重量特点……）；语言较为流畅，用词较为恰当，符合汉语规范。
合格：尚能进行词语的翻译，但多局限于指称意义的翻译，在语境、语体、搭配等意义的对等上有明显不足；句义尚且忠实，但缺乏翻译转移意识，基本不能在不改变原意的基础上进行恰当的翻译转移；语言尚流畅，部分用词不恰当，出现汉语病句。
不合格：基本不能进行词语的翻译，意思偏离严重；没有翻译转移意识，机械式的对应严重，或对原文意思进行篡改，或有明显遗漏；语言别扭，用词不妥，有较多汉语病句。
极差：不能进行词语的翻译，没有翻译转移意识，完全局限于机械式的对应，或对原文意识进行明显篡改，或有大量遗漏；有相当多的汉语语言失误。
二、英译汉答卷常见问题
（说明：因是为帮助读者了解考生翻译中存在的常见问题，以自我警觉，尽量少犯同样错误或提前思考应对之策，故下面不谈优点，只列缺点或不足。）
1、全文理解偏颇。该文段实际上是描写的一梦境片段，除其梦幻般的文辞外，有好几处都有明确标识。不过也许选文确实有些难度，几乎少有考生真正读明白。不过还好，这对翻译不构成大碍，顶多扣一些分数，只要整体翻译尚可。
2、文体风格偏颇。全语篇以追忆梦境入笔，以缅怀思念逝去的孩子收束，是痛定之后的沉郁。其情静澹而深切，其文多彩而沉稳。除相当的考生译笔苍白，更有考生凭空添加诸如“巧的是”或感叹词“噢”等，严重扭曲原文情感基调。
3、词语不认识。其中既有普通词汇亦有专有名词。普通词汇如cottage、exalt、solemnize、valley、interspace、meadow、lawn、hedge、tranquilly、cattle、repose等；专有名词如Easter、Alpine等。前者表现出部分考生英语词汇量之不足，后者则不仅是词汇量的问题，也是文化知识缺失的问题。
4、词语理解跳脱语境。单是“Right before me lay the very scene which could really be commanded from that situation…”一句，其中“right”、“lay”、“command”、“situation”理解就千奇百异。
5、句子语法逻辑解析不明。如“there was interspace far larger between them of meadows and forest lawns…”，正常归属关系应是“of meadows and forest lawns”是限定“interspace”的，而“between them”是嵌入状语。英语作为一种形合语言，一句之中，各部分间关系处处有法可依，也有有形标识可寻。但从试卷译文来看，解析不清，理解不准确的相当普遍。
6、翻译再生能力或经验不足。从语言学层面讲，翻译是英汉差异的认知、把握和转换处理的过程。这就需要增减词、转性转态、或拆或合、调整语序等技巧。从文化层面讲，则涉及或归化或异化的策略问题。而从文学角度看，则是一个如何运用译入语或曰目的语结构、辞章、意象等，综合考量源语所传递内容和表达方式而予以再创造与重写，以尽量求得等同效果。从试卷看，好些考生这样的翻译意识显得很不够。
7、漏译。漏译一般有三种可能，一是有地方不理解，故意略去；二是虽然理解，但汉语译文里不知如何处理，故意略去；三是粗心，检查时也不够仔细。
8、粗心致错。最明显的莫过于开篇第一句“I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May…”不止一位考生将“Sunday”译为“星期六”、“星期五”什么的，“May”一词也有错译。相信这更多是考生紧张粗心所致，而非真的不认识如此常用的词语。
9、胡编滥造冒充翻译。有考生英语理解力或翻译能力大概是太差，于是乎洋洋洒洒自言自语“创作”。有的是干脆写了自己学习英语的感想，并向阅卷老师问好，说感谢耐心看其废话。
10、答错位置。有个别学生翻译答错位置。本人阅英译汉部分，估计遇到不下十份汉译英卷子。好在阅卷场专门有处理这类试卷的机制，以免误给这些考生0分。
11、时间安排不当导致未译完。阅卷时也遇到过如此情况，前面部分都翻译很不错，但未到结尾，译文戛然而止，连句号都没来得及打。遇到这样的译文，不能不说是一大遗憾。
12、购买答案及抄袭。阅卷过程中，每天都会遇到一些雷同卷，估计多半是网上购得答案。结果自然是以作弊卷论处。
13、中文水平见差。好些译文仅得其意，文采几乎全无。有的被原文牵制，或因某些理解偏颇而更致牵强，随便一读也知道国人没这样说话的。中文灵动、简短的句法，习惯的重心、语序，整饬的格结构等，被英文静态化的语言和繁复的文法拖累得遍体鳞伤。这一方面可归咎于不懂得翻译之道——再创造而非被动模仿，但更主要原因则可能在于，外语学生中文功夫普遍欠缺。这是我们大多学外语的同学的致命伤——外遇不见得学好，母语亦落了个惨不忍睹。这也许不该归咎于学生个人，而应问一问我们外语教育如何改进。
末了，提几点建议给学习外语的小同胞们，一、多读原典，提升英文理解力；
二、双语比较，掌握英汉语言差异；
三、勤加练习，熟练运用各种翻译技巧和策略；
四、多读中文作品，夯实汉语语言文化基础；五„做人务求诚信。
另外是关于八级考试翻译建议，首先保证原文理解正确，英译汉避免理解错误的硬伤（如果是汉译英，宁可语句简单，尽量少犯语法错误）。
【附录】
1、英译汉原文
I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May, that it was Easter Sunday, and as yet very early in the morning.I was standing at the door of my own cottage.Right before me lay the very scene which could really be commanded from that situation, but exalted, as was usual, and solemnized by the power of dreams.There were the same mountains, and the same lovely valley at their feet;but the mountains were raised to more than Alpine height, and there was interspace far larger between them of meadows and forest lawns;the hedges were rich with white roses;and no living creature was to be seen, except that in the green church-yard there were cattle tranquilly reposing upon the graves, and particularly round about the grave of a child, whom I had tenderly loved, just as I had really seen them, a little before sunrise in the same summer, when that child died.（作者Thomas De Quincey，节选自Confessions of an English Opium Eater，1821。选作考题时略有修改。）

I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May, that it was Easter Sunday, and as yet very early in the morning.I was standing, as it seemed to me, at the door of my own cottage.Right before me lay the very scene which could really be commanded from that situation, but exalted, as was usual, and solemnized by the power of dreams.there were the same mountains, and the same lovely valley at their feet;but the mountains were raised to more than Alpine height, and there was interspace far larger between them of meadows and forest lawns;the hedges were rich with white roses;and no living creature was to be seen excepting that in the green churchyard there were cattle tranquilly reposing upon the verdant graves, and particularly round about the grave of a child whom I had tenderly loved, just as I had really beheld them, a little before sunrise in the same summer, when that child died.3、杨自伍译文
我想起来了，那是五月间一个礼拜天的清晨，那一天是复活节星期日，一大早天才蒙蒙亮。恍恍惚惚之中，我站在自家小屋的门口。就在我的面前展现出了那么一番景色，从我那个位置其实能够尽收眼底，可是由于梦幻的力量，它显得超凡出尘，一派肃穆气象，梦里的感觉往往如此。丛山依旧，山麓令人神往的幽谷依旧；不过群山挺然参天，高于阿尔卑斯峰，诸山相距空旷，丰草如茵，林地开阔，错落其间；树篱上的白玫瑰娟娟弥望；远近看不见任何
生物，唯有苍翠的教堂庭院里，牛群静静地卧躺在那片郁郁葱葱的墓地歇息，好几头围绕着一个小孩的坟墓，我曾对她一腔柔情，那年夏天是在旭日东升的前一刻，那孩子死去了，我如同当年那样望着牛群。（见杨自伍主编《英国文化选本》，华东师范大学出版社，1996年。）

旅游高峰中国旅游景点是否该高收费
Nowadays, with the quick development of economy, we are embracing a tourism boom in China.More and more people want to spend their holidays in some famous tourism attractions and get themselves relaxed.Under this circumstance, whether the price of admission tickets in scenic spots should be charged high becomes a heated topic.In my opinion, the tickets price should be set at an affordable level for most of Chinese people and should not be too expensive, and the following are my reasons: First of all, all the natural and cultural tourism attractions are heritages which belong to the whole Chinese people, as a result, every citizen should have equal access to these spots.And affordable tickets price is a guarantee for this basic right.If the ticket price is too expensive, it actually means that the citizens who have lower income are deprived of their right to these places of interest.Secondly, tourism can make an important contribution to economic development, since tourism can create employment opportunities and boost the local economy.In this regard, affordable tickets price will help to attract more visitors and better finance the local economy as well as finance the protection of cultural and natural heritage.The last but not least, tourism helps to keep traditions alive and increase visitor appreciation of the natural and cultural heritage, which will give them a sense of national pride.Hence, affordable tickets price will provide this chance for most Chinese people instead of just the rich ones, and this is beneficial to the whole nation.All in all, affordable tickets price in scenic spots is beneficial to both the development of tourism and the development of local and national economy, and it is a wise decision to set the tickets price at an affordable level.

Is sound social environment good to the development of people
When it comes to the relationship of environment and people to be good to others, different men often see the same object in different lights.Some people
that our current society provides a “bad environment” for good
people doing good things, and it is surely that a sound social environment is necessary, while others do not think so.Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture, but nowadays many people dare not offer help to those in need, for fear of getting into trouble.The issue has aroused public debate over the climate of morality and credibility, and many people sigh over the moral degeneration.In my opinion, while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, each individual should try his or her best to do good deeds and be sympathetic with others, instead of waiting for the environment to improve.There is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions, so people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits.some people even wonder, „Is our society hostile to good people?‟ The question may sound ridiculous but many believe
people apparently think so.They believe that our current society provides a bad environment for good people doing good things, and good people pay a high price for being compassionate.In fact, such kind of things only accounts for a pretty small percentage, but massive media coverage makes the situation seem serious.Actually, most people around me are kind, warm-hearted and helpful, and I am quite delighted in their company.So I believe media should pay more attention to publicizing good people and exemplary deeds to enhance our confidence, rather than exposing disgusting behaviors.At the same time, as John Donne puts it, “No man is an island, entire of itself.Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” Since everyone of us is a component of the society, it is each individual‟s conducts that form social morality.Just imagine it is you who need help, what would you feel if everyone watches indifferently or suspiciously? So, put yourself in other‟s position and be sympathetic.If we do nothing but wait for the environment to improve, nothing will happen.Only by removing the fence around our kind consciousness can we reverse the regress of social ethics, and make our world full of warmth and happiness.Therefore, if help is needed, never hesitate to lend a helping hand.It will make you happy and feel better about life.In sum, I contend the idea that while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, it is each individual‟s responsibility to offer help to those in need, and together we build up a more harmonious society.Is sound social environment good to the development of peopleWith the great influence of globalization and rapid development of technology, our work and life has become more and more convenient.In the past few years, our economy has maintaining a high rapid development and to our astonishment, our GDP ranked second all over the world last year.The whole country in general is enjoying a peace and prosperity.However, to some extent, standards of morality are now dropping fast.One of the famous cases recently is that a girl dropped into the manhole and lost because someone who has stolen the manhole covers, which is definitely a tragic for all of the people in our country.Such cases lead heated discussion of the moral consciousness.Is a sound social environment necessary for people to have moral standards and be good to others? As far as I am concerned, I am strongly in support of this view.For one thing, a sound environment is indeed essential for providing an energetic living condition, as we all know, environment plays a vital role in our self-development as every one is a member of the
society in which one is supposed to take part in various activities frequently and cannot escape the influence of it.To me, a sound environment means fair justice, sincere communication, orderly society and harmonious relationship between man and nature in which people can treat each other heart and soul.For another, under a favorable social environment, we are expected to share a stable job, harmonious family and wonderful working atmosphere, thus we have adequate time and energy to learn and enhance the quality of life.With the wide spread of civilization, one will have the awareness of improving their basic essence and trust and good quality will be greatly advocated among the whole society.In this way, there will be no fighting, no cheating and filled with kindness and love.All in all, a positive environment will enable the majority to be a moral citizen.Everyone is suggested to learn to self-management and cultivate a good sense of morality.Striving for an aim of being a noble person and make a contribution to build a stable and prosperous society.
