2015考研英语翻译真题解析

Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration—one of the great folk wanderings of history—swept from Europe to America. 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.

47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe. Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world. 48) But, the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining

old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible. But the result was a new social pattern which, although it resembled European society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American.

49) The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the 15th- and

16th-century explorations of North America. In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. During their six- to twelve-week voyage, they subsisted on barely enough food allotted to them. Many of the ship were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease, and infants rarely survived the journey. Sometimes storms blew the vessels far off their course, and often calm brought unbearably long delay.

“To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brou ght almost inexpressible relief.” said one recorder of events, “The air at twelve leagues’ distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.” The colonists’ first glimpse of the new land was a sight of dense woods. 50) The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a veritable real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia. Here was abundant fuel and lumber. Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores.

思路:

1.大致介绍文章主要内容

2. 逐段介绍每段的主要内容→分析句子结构→指出翻译时需要注意的点→试译→整理译文→总结翻译技巧和需掌握的单词

1. 本篇文章的主要内容:

主要讲述了17-18世纪早期从欧洲到美洲的移民运动。来自欧洲的各民族人民历尽艰险,漂洋过海来到美洲。他们的到来给美洲带来了巨大变化和影响。美洲资源丰富,欧洲移民对这片陆地充满期盼。

2. 文章的第一段主要点明了这次移民的时间以及这次运动的深远影响。共两句话。

在17世纪到18世纪早期的一百年时间里,一次移民浪潮——一次史上伟大的民族迁徙——从欧洲席卷至美洲。这句中有两个需要注意的单词,第一个是span,span的意思是“一段时间”;wandering的意思是“流浪、漂泊”。

接下来是划线的需要翻译的第一句,(46)This movement, driven by powerful and diverse

motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.

先来分析句子结构,找出句子的主干。句子的主干是This movement built a nation out of a wilderness and shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 剩下的部分d riven by powerful and diverse motivations和by its nature,是句子的状语,用来修饰整个句子。我们试着翻译一下句子的主干——这次运动/这次迁徙在一片荒野之地建立了一个民族,塑造了这片未知大陆的特征,决定了它的命运。

之后再来翻译状语部分,driven by powerful and diverse motivations,意思是“受各种强大的动机的推动”,by its nature的意思是“在其本质上,就其本质而言”。

下一步需要将这两部分整合起来,润色译文,使译文读起来通顺流畅,符合汉语习惯。这里需要将driven by powerful and diverse motivations这部分放到句子最前面,因为这部分是表示原因的。而汉语中一般表示原因的句子在前面。这个句子的译文参考:在各种强大的动机的推动下,这次运动在一片荒野之地建立了一个民族,并且就其本质而言,塑造了这片未知大陆的特征,决定了它的命运。

这句话需要注意的有以下几点:

1)状语的翻译。需要将其提前,放在句子最前面。

2)适当使用增译法,以使词语搭配合适。这里的shape修饰character和destiny两个词,但“塑造”和“命运”一词搭配不当,所以需要增加一个与“命运”搭配的词,这里用了“决定”一词。

这段中需要掌握的单词有:

1)wandering to move about without a definite destination or purpose 流浪,漫游

2)uncharted (of an area of land or sea) not mapped or surveyed 未知的,未探索的

3. 文章的第二段:

第二段主要论述了美洲是一个大熔炉,融合了欧洲各国移民的不同思想、习俗、文化、传统习惯等。美洲在各种力量的影响下,逐渐形成了自己鲜明的特色。

第二段一共六句。开头第一句是主题句。指出美国(合众国)是两种主要力量相互作用的产物。破折号后面是对这两种力量的解释。第二句和第三句对第一种力量进行了说明。第四句以but开头,表示转折。尽管欧洲各国移民努力用自己的风俗习惯去影响他人,但由于各种因素的影响,都使美洲发生了巨大的变化。这些变化虽然看上去难觅踪迹,但实际上一种新的、具有美洲特色的社会模式已经慢慢形成了。

第47题,句子的主干是破折号前面的这部分。破折号后面的部分作同位语,是对two principal forces的解释。翻译的时候不需调整语序,直接翻译即可。这句话句式较简单,需要注意的单词有2个:1)principal,主要的2)traits特征。这句话的翻译如下:美国是两种主要力量相互作用的产物——一是具有不同思想、不同风俗和不同民族特

征的欧洲各民族人民的迁入;二是改变了这些特征的新国家所产生的影响。

接下来,我们边读句子边对句子进行大概的解释。“不可避免地,殖民地时期的美洲是欧洲的投影。成群的英国人、法国人、德国人、苏格兰人、爱尔兰人、荷兰人、瑞典人及其他民族的人不断地穿越大西洋,试图把他们的习惯和传统迁移到这个新世界里。”

第48题,以but开头,表示对上句的转折。句子虽然较长,但结构非常简单。前三个分句是句子的主语,句子主干是“the force, the interplay, and the sheer difficulty caused significant changes”。需要注意的是这三个名词of之后的内容的翻译。需要将这些部分放到主语的前面。翻译的时候注意调整好语序,符合汉语习惯。这句话的翻译可以参考下面:

但是,美洲特有的地理条件的作用,不同民族之间的相互影响,再加上要在一片原始的、全新的大陆上维持旧世界运行方式所存在的巨大困难,这些都引发了巨大变化。

接下来的几句话的大意是:“这些变化是逐渐产生的,最初几乎察觉不到。但这些变化却形成了一种新的社会模式,尽管它在很多方面都与欧洲社会相似,但却已经具有明显美国特色了。”

本段需要掌握的单词有:

1) peculiar to 特有的

2)interplay相互影响

3)scarcely 几乎没有,几乎不

文章第三段主要讲述了欧洲移民历尽艰辛、漂洋过海来到美洲的过程。第一句指出第一批移民来到美洲的时间——在发现美洲大陆的100年之后。第二句是说与此同时,西班牙也在世界各地建起了殖民地。这些欧洲移民乘坐着拥挤狭窄的小船,在6到12周的旅程中,靠着勉强可以充饥的食物生存了下来。很多船在风暴中失踪了,很多人也因疾病失去了生命,

婴儿更是难以幸免。有时风暴把船刮得远离了航线,但有时长时间的风平浪静导致的耽搁又让人难以忍受。

要翻译的句子位于句首,点明了第一批移民的时间。首先通读句子,找出句子的主干,句子主干是“The first shiploads of immigrants crossed the Atlantic”。第一批移民穿越了大西洋。bound for the territory作后置定语,用来修饰前面的immigrants,而which is now the United States是一个定语从句,用来修饰territory, 意思是这片地域就是如今的美利坚合众国。句子的后半句比较长,表明这次移民的时间。是什么时候?是在15世纪-16世纪的北美探险过去100多年以后。这句话的意思是说,第一批欧洲移民在北美探险过去100多年后来到了美洲这片土地,而如今这里已然是美国的所在地了。考虑到汉语的表达习惯,我们需要将时间状语提前,放到句首。而territory which is now the United States需要注意调整语序,避免修饰语过长。译文可参考下文:

在15-16世纪的北美探险过去100多年以后,第一批满载着移民的船只穿过大西洋,来到了这片土地,也就是今天美国的所在地。

本句翻译需要注意的地方有:

1)时间状语的翻译。需要将时间状语提前至句首,以符合汉语表达习惯。

2)后置定语和定语从句的翻译。需要注意结构调整,不可全部放在主语前面,否则修饰语太长,不符合汉语习惯。

文章的最后一段,主要讲述了移民历尽千辛万苦,最终到达目的地之后的喜悦心情。另外也指出美洲森林资源丰富,覆盖范围广阔,是名副其实的宝库。

本段开头引用记录员的一句话“这些焦灼的旅行者们看见美洲海岸的那一刻,内心立刻充满了难以言表的轻松,整个人都如释重负”。12里以外的空气闻起来简直跟鲜花盛开的花园一样芳香。这些殖民者们第一眼看到的便是这片新大陆上的茂密森林。接下来是需要翻译

的一句话。句子主干是“The virgin forest was a veritable real treasure-house”这片原始森林是一座真正的宝库。veritable的意思是“真正的,名副其实的”。with its richness and variety of trees作为forest的后置定语,用来修饰forest。意思是这片森林的树木资源丰富,种类繁多。翻译的时候可以译为“枝叶繁茂、数轴繁多的原始森林”。句子的后半部分,which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia,是一个定语从句,用来修饰treasure-house。表明这片原始森林的覆盖范围。翻译的时候为了符合汉语习惯,可以将这部分的位置做相应调整。本句译文参考如下:

这片原始森林枝叶繁茂,树种繁多,从缅因州向南,一直绵延到佐治亚州,是一座名副其实的宝库。

本句翻译需要注意的有以下几点:

1)后置定语的翻译。with引导的后置定语可以放在主语后面。

2)定语从句的翻译。which引导的定语从句较长,翻译的时候要注意调整语序。

本段需要掌握的单词和短语如下:

1)inexpressible (感情)难以表达的,无法形容的

2)a glimpse of瞥见,瞥一眼,看一眼

3)abundant 充足的,丰富的,大量的

4)lumber 木材

5)potash 碳酸钾

6)dye 染料

7)naval stores 松脂制品

1990 年英译汉试题 People have wondered for a long time how their personalities,and behaviors are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not,or why one is cooperative and another is competitive. Social scientists are,of course,extremely interested in these types of questions. (61)They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet,but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect,the two approaches are very different from each other. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as‖nature vs. nurture‖. (62)Those who support the ―nature‖side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological factors. (63)That our environment has little, if anything,to do with our abilities,characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme,this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts. Those who support the ―nurture‖ theory,that is,they advocate education,are often called behaviorists. They claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist,B.F. Skinner,sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists maintain that,like machines,humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior. Let us examine the different explanations about one human characteristic,intelligence, offered by the two theories. Supporters of the ―nature‖theory insist that we are born with a certain capacity for learning that is biologically determined. Needless to say,they don‘t believe that factors in the environment have much influence on what is basically a predetermined characteristic. On the other hand,behaviorists argue that our intelligence levels are the product of our experiences. (64)Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development. The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some ―nature‖ proponents to conclude that blacks are biologically inferior to whites. (65)Behaviorists,in contrast, say that differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy. Most people think neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. 1991 年英译汉试题 The fact is that the energy crisis,which has suddenly been officially announced,has been with us for a long time now,and will be with us for an even longer time. Whether Arab oil flows freely or not,it is clear to everyone that world industry cannot be allowed to depend on so fragile a base. (71)The supply of oil can be shut off unexpectedly at any time,and in any case,the oil wells will all run dry in thirty years or so at the present rate of use. (72)New sources of energy must be found,and this will take time,but it is not likely to result in any situation that will ever restore that sense of cheap and plentiful energy we have had in the times past. For an indefinite period from here on,mankind is going to advance cautiously,and consider itself lucky that it can advance at all. To make the situation worse,there is as yet no sign that any slowing of the world‘s population is in sight. Although the birthrate has dropped in some nations,including the United States,the population of the world seems sure to pass six billion and perhaps even seven billion as the twenty-first century opens. (73)The food supply will not increase nearly enough to match this,which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of producing and marketing food. Taking all this into account,what might we reasonably estimate supermarkets to be like in the year2001? To begin with,the world food supply is going to become steadily tighter over the next thirty years—even here in the United States.By2001,the population of the United States will be at least two hundred fifty million and possibly two hundred seventy million,and the nation will find it difficult to expand food production to fill the additional mouths. (74)This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in the high energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields. It seems almost certain that by2001the United States will no longer be a great food exporting nation and that,if necessity forces exports,it will be at the price of belt tightening at home. In fact,as food items will end to decline in quality and decrease in variety,there is very likely to be increasing use of flavouring additives. (75)Until such time as mankind has the sense to lower its population

(15 points) Most people would define optimism as endlessly happ y, with a glass that’s perpetually half fall. But that’s exactly the kind of false deerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend. “Healthy optimists means being in touch with reality.” says Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor, According to Ben- Shalar,realistic optimists are these who make the best of things that happen, but not those who believe everything happens for the best. Ben-Shalar uses three optimistic exercisers. When he feels down-sag, after giving a bad lecture-he grants himself permission to be human.

常用翻译技巧总结 翻译题里考察三方面内容: 1、专有名词(如operational research expert)、习惯用法(如depend on)及多义词的翻译(如school、set的多义) 2、一般性翻译技巧:包括词义选择,词序调整,词性转换和增词法等等 3、具体句型(定从、状从、主从、宾从、表从、同位从、强调结构、并列、比较、倒装、插入、被动、否定等) 其中2、3是大考点,具体内容可在论坛下XDF的翻译笔记来看,在此不赘述。 可看出,应对翻译题的主要武器是翻译技巧,下面正式进入正题(常用方法、被动语态译法、形容词译法、举例详解) 一、常用方法 二、 英汉两种语言在句法、词汇、修辞等方面均存在着很大的差异,因此在进行英汉互译时必然会遇到很多困难,需要有一定的翻译技巧作指导。常用的翻译技巧有增译法、省译法、转换法、拆句法、合并法、正译法、反译法、倒置法、包孕法、插入法、重组法和综合法等。这些技巧不但可以运用于笔译之中,也可以运用于口译过程中,而且应该用得更加熟练。 1增译法:指根据英汉两种语言不同的思维方式、语言习惯和表达方式,在翻译时增添一些词、短句或句子,以便更准确地表达出原文所包含的意义。这种方式多半用在汉译英里。汉语无主句较多,而英语句子一般都要有主语,所以在翻译汉语无主句的时候,除了少数可用英语无主句、被动语态或“There be…”结构来翻译以外,一般都要根据语境补出主语,使句子完整。英汉两种语言在名词、代词、连词、介词和冠词的使用方法上也存在很大差别。英语中代词使用频率较高,凡说到人的器官和归某人所有的或与某人有关的事物时,必须在前面加上物主代词。因此,在汉译英时需要增补物主代词,而在英译汉时又需要根据情况适当地删减。英语词与词、词组与词组以及句子与句子的逻辑关系一般用连词来表示,而汉语则往往通过上下文和语序来表示这种关系。因此,在汉译英时常常需要增补连词。英语句子离不开介词和冠词。另外,在翻译时还要注意增补一些原文中暗含而没有明言的词语和一些概括性、注释性的词语,以确保译文意思的完整。总之,通过增译,一是保证译文语法结构的完整,二是保证译文意思的明确。如: (1) What about calling him right away? 马上给他打个电话,你觉得如何?(增译主语和谓语) (2) If only I could see the realization of the four modernizations. 要是我能看到四个现代化实现该有多好啊!(增译主句) (3) Indeed, the reverse is true 实际情况恰好相反。(增译名词) (4)就是法西斯国家本国的人民也被剥夺了人权。 Even the people in the fascist countries were stripped of their human rights.(增译物主代词) (5)只许州官放火,不许百姓点灯。 While the magistrates were free to burn down house, the common people were forbidden to light

2015考研英语二翻译真题解析

2015考研英语二翻译真题解析 英语二的翻译一直应该是考生应该得分的题目,今年的题目总体来说与去年相当,甚至略微简单,文章来自心理学网站https://www.sodocs.net/doc/017826672.html,。节选标题为“The Well-Travelled Road Effect: Why Familiar Routes Fly By”的一篇文章,经过命题人改编,共156个词,有8句话,符合英语二翻译模式与难度。所以文章长度基本保持不变,内容涉及领域为心理学,共三段,长短句相间,短句较多,涉及知识点有表语从句、宾语从句、原因状语从句、时间状语从句。但是都较为简单。考生只要在考前进行过一定数量的段落练习。相信翻译是考生争取拿分的题目。 继去年一篇积极心理学的文章后,今年又出了一篇心理方面的文章,但是专业程度不强,所以对学生来说还是很容易接受的。 首先文章中阐释的一种心理现象是“well-travelled road effect”是考生们不熟悉的一个词语,但是通过全文阅读会发现,这是人们生活中一种常见的现象,所以考生可以自己进行总结,而且这个中心词中没有出现生词,所以对于考生来说还是比较简单的。 其它稍微可能有难度的词语为commute:通勤;perceive:察觉;well-travelled road effect: 熟悉路线效应;underestimate:低估;route:道路;allocate:分配,掌握了这些词汇,应该就没有大问题了。 下面来分析其中稍微有难度的句子。 Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. 【解析】首先“twist and turn”的意思是迂回曲折,具体到路上表示的就是指道路的拐弯、曲折。其次“know sth like the back of your hand”的英文释义为: to have very good and detailed knowledge of something,即对某件事情非常了解、了如指掌。 【翻译】不管是哪一条路,你对每一个拐每一个弯都了如指掌,非常熟悉。 文中包括一个以上从句的句子有The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.这是由一个表语从句和宾语从句组成的复合句,但是都可以直接按顺序翻译,所以不涉及翻译技巧。 其他句子较简单,在此不做详解,下附全文翻译: 设想一下,你正开车行驶在一条非常熟悉的路线上。可能是你每天上下班、去城里、或是回家的路。不管是哪一条路,你对每一个拐每一个弯都了如指掌,非常熟悉。在这样的路途中,我们容易在开车的时候心不在焉,对途中的景色也几乎是全然不顾。如此一来,你会觉得路上所花的时间比实际要少。 这就是“熟悉路线效应”:人们往往会低估行驶在熟悉的路上所花费的时间。 这一效应由我们分配精力的方式引起。当行驶在熟悉的路上时,由于我们不用太过集中精力,时间似乎飞逝而过。 随后,我们回想行车过程时,由于我们没有过多关注,所以对行车的印象也很模糊。因
