2018年6月英语四级翻译模拟:本草纲目
请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
《本草纲目》(The Compendium of Materia Medica)是明代(the Ming Dynasty)著名的医学家李时珍所著。这部著作近乎200万字,记载药物(medical substance)1892种。除了中草药(Chinese herhal medicine),该书也包含了动物和矿物质作为药物的记载。《本草纲目》堪称中医史上最完整的医书,对各种药物的名称、气味、形态等都做了详尽的介绍。它被翻译成20多种语言并在全世界广为流传。即便现在,人们还常常将它用作医学参考书。
参考译文:
The Compendium of Materia Medica is written by Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty.With almost 2 million Chinese characters, the book lists 1,892 kinds of medical substances.Besides Chinese herbal medicines, it includes animals and minerals used as medical substances.The Compendium of Materia Medica is regarded as the most complete medical book in the history of traditional Chinese medicine.Detailed introductions of all the medical substances are given

in the book, including name, smell, appearance, etc.It has been translated into more than 20 languages and spreads all over the world.Even now it is still often used as a reference book in medicine.1.第1句中“著名的医学家”和“李时珍”所指为同一个人,故将前者处理为后者的同位语,表达为Li Shizhen, a famous medical scientist。
2.第2句为并列的两个汉语短句,合为一句翻译的处理办法是将其中一个句子“介词化”,将前半句用介词短语With almost 2 million Chinese characters来表达,符合英语中多用介词短语的表达习惯。句首的“这部著作”(the book)移到第2个分句中作主语。
3.第3句中的“作为药物的”可处理为“动物和矿物质”的后置定语,用过去分词短语used as medical substances表被动。
4.第4句“《本草纲目》堪称……最完整的医书,对各种药物……做了详尽的介绍”可直译为并列结构The book is regarded as...and introduces in detail...,但因句子成分太多而显繁冗,故可对该句进行拆译,处理成两个独立的句子。第2个分句“对各种药物……做了详尽的介绍”可增译主语the book,也可转换宾语“介绍”(introduction)为主语,用被动语态,整句译作 Detailed introductions...are given..., including...。
5.最后一句可按汉语句式直译为Even now people still often use it as a reference book in medicine, 但如将主语转换成it,将句子转换成被动语态,则能与全文的论述视角更为统一。

第三篇:英语四级篇章翻译训练及答案
翻译训练
①中国长城是中国古代为抵御敌人的侵袭而修筑的伟大工程。它位于中国北部,全长约8851.8公里。它始建于2000多年前的春秋时期(the Spring and Autumn Period),秦始皇统一中国之后联成万里长城。汉、明两代(the Han and Ming Dynasties)又曾大规模修筑,因此它是世界上修建时间最长的一项古代工程。长城是人类文明史上最伟大的筑工程之一,被列为世界八大奇迹之一和世界文化遗产(heritage)。
②假日经济(Holiday Economy)是在节假日期间的一种全民消费行为,十分有助于中国的经济增长。假日经济是伴随有中国特色的“黄金周”所出现的一种社会现象。由于人们生活观念的改变,更多人会选择利用七天的假期去旅游、购物、娱乐。全民消费刺激了旅游、零售、交通、影院、展览、体育和其他相关产业。这种经济模式既有益于人民也有利于国家。
③孔子学院(Confucius Institute)是中国在世界各地设立的教育和文化交流机构。推广汉语、传播中国文化是设立该机构的目的。孔子学院最重要的一项工作就是给世界各地的汉语学习者提供标准的教材以及正规的汉语学习渠道。全球首家孔子学院于2004年在韩国首尔(Seoul)成立,目前已遍布106个国家。孔子学院有力地推动了中国文化与各国文化的交流与融合(integration)。
④中国面临的最严峻的挑战之一就是人口老龄化(aging population)。专家称在未来四十年内,中国老年人口将接近5亿,占据人口总数的三分之一。这无疑给中国经济增长带来了巨大的压力,但这也意味着更多的商机。人口老龄化将为养老院(nursing home)行业的发展带来良好的前景。据粗略统计,5亿老年人每月至少能为养老院行业带来5000元的经济效益。
⑤网上购物(online shopping)是中国近几年来日益流行的新型购物方式。人们在购物网站搜索自己想要的物品,在网上发出电子订单并付款。卖家则通过快递公司送货上门。网上购物的主要人群最初是大学生和白领,现在大多数的网民是(netizen)都有过网购的经历。过去十年来,购物网站的数量也有了大幅增加,所售商品也日益丰富。有人认为方便和低价是网上购物迅速发展的重要原因。
⑥乒乓球(table tennis)是中国的国球,是一种世界流行的体育项目。20世纪60年代,中国选手赢得了世界乒乓球比赛的大部分冠军,因此中国在该项运动中占有统治性的地位。乒乓球的起源有许多不同的说法,最流行、最被广泛认可的一种说法就是乒乓球在1900年起源于英国。在英语中,它也被称为“Ping Pong”,因为在打击时会发出“Ping Pong”的声音。在1988年的奥运会上,它被列为正式的比赛项目。
⑦筷子起源于中国,大多数是用木头或者竹子制作的。最早的筷子是用骨头或者玉(jade)制成的。在春秋时期(the Spring and Autumn Period)又出现了铜制和铁制的筷子。在古代,富裕人家用玉或金子做筷子,来显示富有。很多帝王使用银制的筷子检查饮食是否被投毒。筷子在传统上还是新娘的嫁妆(dowry),因为“筷子”的汉语读音听起来很像“快得儿子”。
⑧汉字源于远古时期对自然景物的简单描摹,如树木、河水、山川、人物等。这些描摹实际上就是象形文字(pictogram)的萌芽。甲骨文(Oracles)是刻在龟壳和兽骨上的古老文字,是汉字最早的形式。汉字的创造和应用对中华文明的发展起到了重要作用。汉字对世界文明的发展也产生了深远的影响。例如,日本、朝鲜等国家的文字都是在汉字的基础上创造的。
⑨公务员热(craze for civil servant jobs)是指越来越多的人参加政府机构招聘考试(recruitment examinations)的社会现象。据报道,近几年每年的报考人数都超过百万,平均每个岗位有50-60名竞争者,最热门的职位能达到5000:1。报考公务员的主要是大学毕业生。他们认为公务员工作轻松稳定,收入较高,社会地位也高。另外,就业难问题也是促使他们做出该选择的另一个原因。
⑩刺绣(embroidery)是中国的民间传统手工艺之一,有超过两千年的历史。刺绣就是用针线在织物上绣上(embroider)各种装饰性的图案。中国刺绣与养蚕业(sericulture)紧密相连,中国是世界上最早使用蚕丝的国家。刺绣的用途主要包括生活和艺术装饰,如服装、床上用品(bedclothes)、台布和舞台装饰。刺绣在国外也享有很高的声誉,是中国文化艺术的杰出代表之一。
①The Great Wall of China is a great project in ancient China constructed to defend against the attacks of enemies.It locates in the northern part of China and stretches for 8,851.8 kilometers.First built in the Spring and Autumn Period over 2,000 years ago, it was united to become the “the Wall of 10,000 li” after Qin Shi Huang unified China.The Han and Ming Dynasties saw extensive re-buildings and maintenance of the Great Wall.Thus it is an ancient project which consumed the longest time in the world.As one of the greatest constructions in the history of human civilization, the Great Wall has been listed as one of the Eight Wonders of the World and a world cultural heritage site.②Holiday Economy, a term to describe the nation-wide consumption during holidays, contributes significantly to Chinese economic growth.It is a social phenomenon accompanying the “Golden Week”, a seven-day long holiday with Chinese characteristics.Owing to the changes of people’s life notion, an increasing number of people are choosing to travel, shop, and relax during the seven-day holiday.The nation-wide consumption boosted tourism, retail, transportation, cinemas, exhibitions, sports and other related industries, thereby benefiting both people and the country.③Confucius Institute is an institute of education and cultural communication established by China all over the world.Its aim is to promote Chinese language and spread Chinese culture.The most important task of Confucius institute is to provide standard textbooks and a formal channel to learn Chinese for learners all over the world.The first Confucius Institute opened in 2004 in Seoul, South Korea.At present, it has been established in 106 countries.Confucius Institute has greatly promoted the exchange and integration of cultures between China and the rest of the world.④Aging population is one of the most severe challenges in China.According to the experts, within four decades, China will have nearly 500 million elderly people, which accounts for one third of the total population.Such a situation will undoubtedly put huge pressure on the economic growth of China, but it also means more business opportunities.The fast-growing numbers of elderly people will bring a very good prospect for the industry of nursing homes.Based on rough statistics, half a billion elderly people can at least bring the industry an economic benefit of 500 billion every month.⑤Online shopping is a new shopping mode increasingly popular in China in recent years.People search for goods they want in shopping websites, then make electronic orders and pay online.The sellers deliver commodities to customers’ homes via the express company.The major groups who shopped online were primarily university students and white collars.At present, the great majority of netizens have the experience of shopping online.In the last decade, the numoer of shopping websites has increased tremendously and the commodities sold online become more colorful by the day.Some people hold that convenience and low price are important reasons for the rapid development of online shopping.⑥Table tennis, the national ball game of China, is a sport event popular around the world.Since the 1960s, Chinese players have won a great majority of champions in the world table tennis competitions.Thus China plays a dominant role in the event.There are various versions concerning the origin of table tennis, among which the most popular and widest accepted is that it originated in Britain in 1900.Table tennis is also called as “Ping Pong” in English because of the sound of “Ping Pong” in hitting the ball.In the 1988 0lympics, table tennis became a formal Olympic event.⑦Chopsticks, which originated in China, are mainly made of wood or bamboo.The earliest chopsticks were made of bone or jade.During the Spring and Autumn Period, copper and iron chopsticks came into being.In ancient times, the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth, while many emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned.Chopsticks are traditionally placed in brides’ dowries, too,for the pronunciation of “Chopsticks” in Chinese sounds quite like “get a son soon”.⑧Chinese characters began in ancient time as simple drawings of natural objects-trees, rivers, mountains and hills, human beings, etc.These drawings are actually the buds of “pictograms”.Oracles, the ancient characters carved onto tortoise shells and beast bones, are the earliest form of Chinese characters.The creation and use of the Chinese characters have played a significant role not only in the development of Chinese civilization, but in that of the world civilization.For example, the characters of some countries, like Japan and Korea, were created on the basis of the Chinese characters.⑨The Craze for civil servant jobs refers to the social phenomenon that an increasing number of Chinese take part in recruitment examinations of government institutions.It is reported that the number of registered applicants each year is over one million, with 5060 candidates competing for one vacancy on average.The ratio of the hottest position can arrive at 5000:1.The registered applicants are mainly university graduates.They think the civil servant jobs are rather easy and stable with high income and social status.In addition, another reason for their choice is the difficulty in finding jobs.⑩Embroidery, one of the traditional folk arts and crafts in China, has a history of more than 2,000 years.It is made by embroidering various decorating patterns on fabrics with needle and thread.Chinese embroidery is closely connected with sericulture, as China is the first country in the world to use silk.Embroidery is mainly used in life and art decoration, such as clothes, bedclothes, table cloth and stage decoration.As one of the outstanding representatives of Chinese culture and art, embroidery enjoys a high reputation overseas.

2014年6月大学英语四级翻译
Part Ⅳ Translation(30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.翻译题目一:为了促进教育公平,中国已投入360亿元,用于改善农村地区教育设施和加强中西部地区农村义务教育(compulsory education)。这些资金用于改善教学设施、购买书籍,使16万多所中小学受益。资金还用于购置音乐和绘画器材。现在农村和山区的儿童可以与沿海城市的儿童一样上音乐和绘画课。一些为接受更好教育而转往城市上学的学生如今又回到了本地农村学校就读。
【翻译译文】:In order to promote equality in education, China has invested 36 billion Yuan to improve educational facilities in rural areas and strengthen rural compulsory education in the central and western areas.These funds are used to improve the teaching facilities, and purchase books, benefiting more than 160,000 primary and secondary schools.Funds are also used to purchase musical instrument and painting equipment.Now children in rural and mountainous areas can have music and painting lessons as children from coastal cities do.Some students who have transferred to schools in the city to receive a better education are now moving back to their local rural schools.翻译题目二:中国应进一步发展核能,因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2%,该比例在所有核国家中居第30位,几乎是最低的。2011年3月日本核电站事故后,中国的核能开发停了下来,中止审批新的核电站,并开展全国性的核安全检查。到2012年10月,审批才能又谨慎的恢复。随着技术和安全措施的改进,发生核事故的可能性完全可以降低到最低限度。换句话说核能是可以安全开发和利用的。
【翻译译文】
China should further develop nuclear energy because nuclear power accounts for only 2% of its total generating capacity currently.Such proportion ranks the thirtieth in all the countries possessing nuclear power, which is almost the last.After Japan’s nuclear power accident in March 2011, nuclear power development in China was suspended, so was the approval of new nuclear power plants.In addition, the national safety check for the nuclear power was carried out.IT was not until October 2012 that the approval was prudently resumed.With the improvement of technology and safety measures, there is little possibility for nuclear accidents to happen.In other words, there won’t be any trouble to develop and exploit the nuclear power.翻译题目三:中国教育工作者早就认识到读书对于国家的重要意义,有些教育工作者2003年就建议设立全民读书日。他们强调,人们应当读好书,尤其是经典著作。通过阅读,人们能更好地学会感恩、有责任心和与人合作,而教育的目的正是要培养这些基本素质,阅读对于中小学生尤为重要,假如他们没有这个关键时期培养阅读的兴趣,以后要养成阅读的习惯就很难了。
【翻译译文】Chinese education workers have already realized the significance of reading for a nation long time ago.Some workers suggested that we should have a national reading day in 2003.They emphasized that people should read good books especially the classical ones.Through reading, people can learn better how to be grateful, responsible and cooperative.The goal of education is to cultivate these basic personalities.Reading is especially important for middle and primary school students.Suppose they don’t nurture the interest of reading at that key moment, it will be harder to develop a habit to read books in the future.
