英语四级翻译常用词汇:123个中文高频成语翻译
Automation 1502 YuDeyu
一、复习建议:
1. 加强历史、文化、经济以及社会发展相关热词的积累
2. 广撒网,学习、揣摩这些话题相关的难点单句训练
做这些单句训练时,先阅读1遍整个段落,专门挑出自己觉得比较难翻的句子,然后重点练习这一句的翻译。难句会了,简单句自然不在话下。
在做单句翻译时,先尝试自己翻,翻完以后,对照答案,看解析,总结和揣摩其中好的
词汇和表达。下面请大家跟着教研君给出的常考单句示例,具体学习吧~
1. 对于大多数年轻人来说,结婚意味着独立组建家庭,然而物价的不断上涨使这一切
变得越来越困难。
参考译文:For most young people, marriage means s etting up a family independently, which has become increasingly difficult because of the constantly rising prices.
词汇点评:
组建家庭:set up a family。有同学容易使用start a family。start a family表示begin to have children“开始生儿育女”。
越来越:一般看到“越来越”大家习惯译为more and more,比如“越来越多的人”more and more people,但译为 a growing number of people可令人眼前为之一亮;而表达“变
得越来越”的含义时,使用become increasingly的译法更好。
物价的不断上涨:constantly rising prices,而不是price rising。
表达点评:
本句是一个表转折关系的并列句,后半句中的“物价的不断上涨使这一切……”中的“这一切”指代前半句中提到的“结婚意味着独立组建家庭”,因此,用which引导的非限制性定语从句,让整个句子简洁明了。
使字句的翻译:“物价的不断上涨”是“这一切变得困难”的原因,因此处理为原因状
语,用because of…来带出原因。
2. 过去十年中国房地产(real estate)行业高速发展。
参考译文:The past decade has witnessed a high-speed development in China's real estate.
词汇点评:
十年:decade
高速发展:develop rapidly; high-speed development
表达点评:
本句可直译为For the past decade, China's real estate developed rapidly,但如果以“过去十年”作为主语,套用句型time + see / witness + sth.则表达更加生动形象,更易提分。see / witness意为“见证,证明”,具体使用时注意时态应和语境一致。
所以本句译为:The past decade has witnessed…更地道,注意这里使用现在完成时。
“过去十年”作主语时,注意动词短语“高速发展”要转换为名词短语。
3. 胡同(Hutong)是北京的一大特色,有着与北京城一样久远的历史。
参考译文:Hutong, with a history as long as that of Beijing city, is a major
feature of Beijing.
词汇点评:
特色:feature; characteristic
与……一样:as … as
表达点评:
文化类段落翻译中经常考到“特色”一词的翻译,大家一定要牢记。
前半句“胡同(Hutong)是北京的一大特色”是句子主干,后半句“有着与北京城一样
久远的历史”可用介词短语with a history as long as that of Beijing city来表达,以插入语的形式置于主语之后,这样整个句子的中心更突出。
二、考场“强心针”:
1. 问:翻译过程中,表达优美重要,还是正确性重要?
答:正确性更重要。如果觉得自己不能翻得特别好,那就首先保证尽可能少的语法错误,
意思表达到即可,抓到分是关键。
2. 问:平时积累了不少词汇和表达,到了翻译段落时,突然不会了,最后翻得不是太
好?
答:这种情况分两种原因:1)太急着下笔,段落含义没有理解透彻。同学在做汉译英
时,一定要首先认真把整个中文段落多读几遍,理顺其中隐含的逻辑关系和信息,确定用哪个词做主语、谓语、定语,然后再下笔真正开始翻译。2)同学的语法功底稍有欠缺,这种
情况,尽量把汉语的长句子拆成短句子。同样是要多读中文,才能先把中文拆分好,然后逐句、逐句去翻译。
3. 问:我翻译的时态总跟答案的时态有出入,怎么办?
答:举几个实例来跟同学讲解下。1)遇到“近年来……某种现象越来越……”的表达。
首先揣摩该现象是否有“正在进行而且将一直持续下去的趋势”,如果符合该条件,使用现在进行时就可以把这个隐含意义完美表达出来。2)强调过去某一现象或从过去延续至今的
动作对现在造成的影响,多用现在完成时态。比如“过去十年,中国的房地产业经历了前所
未有的高速增长。”这句中就要使用现在完成时态而非一般过去时。

历年大学英语四级翻译真试题及范文答案、、、、
12月大学英语四级考试翻译题目 许多人喜欢中餐,在中国,烹饪不但被视为一种技能,而且也被视为一种艺术。精心准备的中餐既可口又好看,烹饪技艺和配料在中国各地差别很大。但好的烹饪都有一个共同点,总是要考虑到颜色、味道、口感和营养(nutrition)。由于食物对健康至关重要,好的厨师总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜之间取得平衡,因此中餐既味美又健康。 Most people like Chinese food. In China, cooking is considered as not only a skil l but also an art. The well-prepared Chinese food is both delicious and good-look ing. Although cooking methods and food ingredient vary wildly in different place s of China, it is common for good cuisine to take color, flavor, taste and nutrition into account. Since food is crucial to health, a good chef is insistently trying to se ek balance between cereal, meat and vegetable, and accordingly Chinese food is delicious as well as healthy. 信息技术(Information Technology),正在飞速发展,中国公民也越来越重视信息技术,有些学校甚至将信息技术作为必修课程,对这一现象大家持不同观点。一部分人认为这是没有必要的,学生就应该学习传统的课程。另一部分人认为这是应该的,中国就应该与时俱进。不论怎样,信息技术引起广大人民的重视是一件好事。 As China citizens attaching great importance to the rapidly development of Info rmation Technology, some college even set it as a compulsory course.

"你要茶还是咖啡?"是用餐人常被问到的问题,许多西方人会选咖啡,而中国人则会选茶,相传,中国的一位帝王于五千年前发现了茶,并用来治病,在明清(the qing dynasties)期间,茶馆遍布全国,饮茶在六世纪传到日本,但直到18世纪才传到欧美,如今,茶是世界上最流行的饮料(beverage)之一,茶是中国的瑰宝。也是中国传统和文化的重要组成部分。 "Would you like tea or coffee?" That’s a question people often asked when having meal. Most westerners will choose coffee, while the Chinese would like to choose tea. According to legend, tea was discovered by a Chinese emperor five thousand years ago, and then was used to cure disease. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea houses were all over the country. Tea drinking spread to Japan in the 6th century, but it was not until th e 18th century does it spread to Europe and America.

英语四级翻译常用词汇:123个中文高频成语翻译 Automation 1502 YuDeyu 一、复习建议: 1. 加强历史、文化、经济以及社会发展相关热词的积累 2. 广撒网,学习、揣摩这些话题相关的难点单句训练 做这些单句训练时,先阅读1遍整个段落,专门挑出自己觉得比较难翻的句子,然后重点练习这一句的翻译。难句会了,简单句自然不在话下。 在做单句翻译时,先尝试自己翻,翻完以后,对照答案,看解析,总结和揣摩其中好的 词汇和表达。下面请大家跟着教研君给出的常考单句示例,具体学习吧~ 1. 对于大多数年轻人来说,结婚意味着独立组建家庭,然而物价的不断上涨使这一切 变得越来越困难。 参考译文:For most young people, marriage means s etting up a family independently, which has become increasingly difficult because of the constantly rising prices. 词汇点评: 组建家庭:set up a family。有同学容易使用start a family。start a family表示begin to have children“开始生儿育女”。 越来越:一般看到“越来越”大家习惯译为more and more,比如“越来越多的人”more and more people,但译为 a growing number of people可令人眼前为之一亮;而表达“变 得越来越”的含义时,使用become increasingly的译法更好。 物价的不断上涨:constantly rising prices,而不是price rising。 表达点评: 本句是一个表转折关系的并列句,后半句中的“物价的不断上涨使这一切……”中的“这一切”指代前半句中提到的“结婚意味着独立组建家庭”,因此,用which引导的非限制性定语从句,让整个句子简洁明了。 使字句的翻译:“物价的不断上涨”是“这一切变得困难”的原因,因此处理为原因状 语,用because of…来带出原因。 2. 过去十年中国房地产(real estate)行业高速发展。 参考译文:The past decade has witnessed a high-speed development in China's real estate. 词汇点评: 十年:decade 高速发展:develop rapidly; high-speed development 表达点评:

历年四级段落型翻译真题 Roger Li 2014年6月大学英语四级翻译 试卷一:中餐 许多人喜欢中餐,在中国,烹饪不仅被视为一种技能,而且也被视为一种艺术。精心准备的中餐既可口又好看,烹饪技艺和配料在中国各地差别很大。但好的烹饪都有一个共同点,总是要考虑到颜色、味道、口感和营养(nutrition)。由于食物对健康至关重要,好的厨师总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜之间取得平衡,所以中餐既味美又健康。 译文: Many people like Chinese food. In China, cooking is viewed as not only a skill but also a form of art. The well-prepared Chinese food is both delicious and good-looking. Although cooking methods and food ingredients vary wildly in different places of China, it is common for good cuisine to take color, flavor, taste and nutrition into account. Since food is crucial to health, a good chef is insistently trying to seek balance between cereal, meat and vegetable, and accordingly Chinese food is delicious as well as healthy. 试卷二:信息技术 信息技术(Information Technology),正在飞速发展,中国公民也越来越重视信息技术,有些学校甚至将信息技术作为必修课程,对这一现象大家持不同观点。一部分人认为这是没有必要的,学生就应该学习传统的课程。另一部分人认为这是应该的,中国就应该与时俱进。不管怎样,信息技术引起广大人民的重视是一件好事。 译文: As Chinese citizens are attaching increasing importance to the rapidly developing Information Technology, some colleges even set it as a compulsory course. In regard to this, people hold different opinions. Some people view it as unnecessary move, for students should learn the traditional curriculum. Other thinks it is a need, because China should keep pace with the times. Anyway, it is a good thing that Information Technology arouses public concern. 试卷三:茶文化 "你要茶还是咖啡?"是用餐人常被问到的问题,许多西方人会选咖啡,而中国人则会选茶,相传,中国的一位帝王于五千年前发现了茶,并用来治病,在明清(the qing dynasties)期间,茶馆遍布全国,饮茶在六世纪传到日本,但直到18世纪才传到欧美,如今,茶是世界上最流行的饮料(beverage)之一,茶是中国的瑰宝。也是中国传统和文化的重要组成部分。译文: "Would you like tea or coffee?" That’s a question people often asked when having meal. Most westerners would choose coffee, while the Chinese would like to choose tea. According to legend, tea was discovered by a Chinese emperor five thousand years ago, and then was used to cure disease. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea houses were all over the country. Tea drinking spread to Japan in the 6th century, but it was not until the 18th century does it spread to Europe and America. Nowadays, tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world, and it is not only the treasure of China but also an important part of Chinese tradition and culture. 试卷四:中国结 中国结最初是由手工艺人发明的,经过数百年不断的改进,已经成为一种优雅多彩的艺术和工艺。在古代,人们用它来记录事件,但现在主要是用于装饰的目的。“结”在中文里

2 015年6月13日全国大学英语四级翻译真题及答案 大米 在西方人心目中,和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来,大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位,以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多数种植水稻,人们通常以大米为食;而华北大部分地区因为过于寒冷或过于干燥,无法种植水稻,那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国,有些人用面粉做面包,但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。 In the mind of Westerners,Chinese people have the closest connection to rice,basic food for the Chinese.For a long time,rice occupies a very important position in the Chinese diet.There is even a saying that "even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice".People in south China plant and live on rice,while people in the most parts of North China cannot plant rice due to excessively dry and cold weather. The main crop there is wheat. In China, some people use flour to bake bread,while most people make steamed bread and noodles with flour. xx 中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。构成现代世界基础的许多元素起源于中国。中国现在拥有世界上发展最快的经济,并正经历着一次新的工业革命。中国还启动了雄心勃勃的太空探索计划,其中包括到20年建成的一个太空站。目前,中国是世界最大的出口国之一,并正在吸引大量外国投资。同时,它也在海外投资数十亿美元。2011年,中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。 快递 据报道,今年中国快递服务(courier service)将递送大约120亿件包裹。这将使中国有可能超越美国成为世界上最大的快递市场。大多数包裹里装着网上订购的物品。中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。仅在11月11日,中国消费者就从国内最大的购物平台购买了价值90亿美元的商品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日。因此,快递业在中国扩展就不足为奇了。
大学英语四级考试翻译题精选练习(39) 1.Thisisyet_________________(两国人民的又一个共同点). 2.Hisscientificworks_______________(在英语国家得到广泛阅读). 3.Revolutionmeanstheemancipationoftheproductiveforces,_____________(改革也是解放生产力). 4.Heisoptimistic________________(对现时信息产业的发展状况). 5.Workinallfieldsshouldbesubordinatedtoand________________(服务于经济发展的进程). 1.anothercommonpointbetweenthepeopleofourtwocountries 解析:本题考查通过增补介词使译文的意思更完整。虽然原文没有和between相对应的词,但是"共同点"是两国人民之间在某方面进行比较的结果,所以增补between之后,符合英语表达习惯。增词法也是汉译英中常用技巧之一,再如:她以教书为业。(Sheisateacherbyoccupation.)我已重新考虑了那件事。(I'vehadsecondthoughtonthatmatter.) 2.werewidelyreadinEnglish-speakingcountries 解析:若是按照字面翻译,这句话很可能被译为werewidelyreadinEnglishcountries。但是原文中"英语国家"的含义是"讲英语的国家"。这体现了英汉表达差异。请考生看下面这句话的英译:我卖掉了彩电。/IsoldoutmycolorTV.这句译文错误在于,没弄清"彩电"的含义。"彩电"有两层意思:一是指具体的实物,即彩色电视机colorTVset;二是指屏幕上出现的影像,即彩色电视colorTV。而句子中卖掉的只能是机器,具体的实物。 3.andsodoesreform 解析:本题意为:革命是解放生产力,改革也是解放生产力。考点有二:第一,考查词性转移。原文中"解放"用作动词,"生产力"作宾语。译文中处理成名词短语"对生产力的解放"。第二,考查省译法。我们不能把原文译成andreformalsomeanstheemancipationoftheproductiveforces,这种结构显得臃肿累赘。为避免重复,可以选用andsodoes...来代替这个动宾结构。 4.aboutthepresentdevelopmentofinformationindustry 解析:"对......表示乐观"可以用句型beoptimisticaboutsth.。这句话不能译成aboutthestatusofthepresentdevelopmentofinformationindustry。"状况"是一个范畴词,没有实际含义,可省略不译。 5.servetheeconomicdevelopment 解析:"服务于......"即"为......服务",所以要用servesb./sth.的结构,不能译成beservedto。"进程"也是一个范畴词,可以省略不译。另外,besubordinatedto是一个固定结构,含义是"从属于......,隶属于......"。 声明:此资源由本人收集整理于网络,只用于交流学习,请勿用作它途。如有侵权,请联系,删除处理。
