1997年: Translation from CHINESE to ENGLISH (30 min)

来美国求学的中国学生与其他亚裔学生一样,大多非常刻苦勤奋,周末也往往会抽出一天甚至两天的时间去实验室加班,因而比起美国学生来,成果出的较多。我的导师是亚裔人,嗜烟好酒,脾气暴躁。但他十分欣赏亚裔学生的勤奋与扎实的基础知识,也特别了解(v-n)亚裔学生的心理。因此,在他实验室所招的学生中,除有一名来自德国外,其余5位均是亚裔学生。(主动和被动改)他干脆在实验室的门上贴一醒目招牌:“本室助研必须每周工作7天,早10时至晚12时,工作时间必须全力以赴。”这位导师的严格及苛刻是全校有名的,共有14位学生被招进他的实验室,最后博士毕业的只剩下5人。1999年夏天,我不顾别人的劝阻,硬着头皮接受了导师的资助,从此开始了艰难的求学历程。

【参考答案】

Like other Asian Americans, most Chinese American students are very diligent. They often spare one day even two days of the weekend for the overtime work in the lab, so they harvest more than American students.

My advisor, who was an Asian American, had a strong(准)addiction to smoking and drinking, a nd(连词)a n irritable temper as well.(合句,定从,插入语and,with,状从句子,或提一部分作成份)However, he appreciated the industry and the solid basic knowledge of students with Asian origins.He also had a particular keen insight into the mentality of these students. So it was not surprising(用it 句式,补词)that all the students in his lab were from Asia except one from Germany. The advisor was so straightforward as to paste an eye-catching notice on the door of his lab, which read: “It is )无人称句正式)a must that all the research assistants in the lab work from 10 to 12pm every day, and seven days a week. (调整句子)Furthermore, they should spare no effort in working hours.” The advisor was well-known for his strictness and severity through out the university. During the three and a half years of my work there, fourteen students were recruited into his lab, but only five stayed until after they had graduated with a PH.D degree.

In the summer of 1999, regardless the dissuasion, I accepted my tutor’s subsidization and from then on I began my hard way of study.

1997年2月24日我们代表团下榻日月潭中信大饭店,送走了最后一批客人,已是次日凌晨3点了。我躺在床上久久不能入睡,披衣走到窗前,往外看去,只见四周峰峦叠翠,湖面波光粼粼。望着台湾这仅有的景色如画的天然湖泊,我想了许多,许多……

On February 24, 1997, our delegation stayed at ZhongXin hotel beside RiyueTan, It was already 3 o'clock of the next morning when we saw off the last group of visitors, I lay down on the

bed sleeplessly for a very long time, then I put on my clothes and walked to the window, when I looked outside, the green the peaks and ridges and the glittering lake came to my eyes. Watching the only beautiful natural lake in Taiwan, I had deeply pondered (I was in deep thought)... ...

这次到台湾访问交流,虽然行程匆匆(short stay),但是,看了不少地方,访了旧友,交了新知,大家走到一起,谈论的一个重要话题就是中华民族在21世纪的强盛。虽然祖国大陆、台湾的青年生活在不同的社会环境中,有着各自不同的生活经历,但大家的内心都深深铭刻(have in mind)着中华文化优秀传统的印记,都拥有着振兴(develop vigorously)中华民族(the Chinese Nation)的共同理想。在世纪之交(In the turn of the century)的伟大时代(great epoch),我们的祖国正在走向(make for/ become)繁荣富强(Prosperous and powerful),海峡两岸人民也将加强交流,共同(strive together)推进(boost/promote)祖国统一大业(unification)的早日(as soon as possible)完成。世纪之交的宝贵机遇(The golden opportunities)和巨大挑战(Huge challenge)将青年推到(push)了历史前台(the f orefront of history)。跨世纪青年一代应该用什么样的姿态(how)迎接充满希望的新世纪(Greet/embrace the new century with hopes,这是我们必须回答(un evadable/unavoidable)的问题。

振兴中华民族(rejuvenating China)

日月潭水波不兴,仿佛与我一同在思索……

【参考答案】Chinese to English

During my short stay in Taiwan, I had seen quite a few places, paid visit to my old friends and made a lot of new ones as well. How Chinese people could become more powerful and prosperous in the 21st century became the most important topic we could be engaged in whenever staying together.In spite of (主从句主语)their different social environment and life experience, young people from Chinese mainland and those from Taiwan have in mind the excellent Chinese traditional culture and share the common ideal of rejuvenating China. The turn of the century has ushered in a great epoch. Our motherland is becoming more and more prosperous and powerful. People across the Straits are sure to increase their contacts and strive together to promote the reunification of the country as soon as possible. The golden opportunities and tremendous challenges offered by the turn of the century have pushed the young people to the forefront of history. It is their turn to answer at such a traditional phase the question how they should embrace the new century replete with hopes.

加拿大的温哥华1986年刚刚度过百岁生日,但城市的发展令世界瞩目。以港立市,以港兴市,是许多港口城市生存发展的道路。经过百年开发建设,有着天然不冻良港的温哥华,成为举世闻名的港口城市,同亚洲、大洋洲、欧洲、拉丁美洲均有定期班轮,年货物吞吐量达到8,000万吨,全市就业人口中有三分之一从事贸易与运输行业。

温哥华(Vancouver)的辉煌(glory)是温哥华人智慧和勤奋的结晶[The glory of

Vancouver is attributable to(thanks to) the intelligence(wisdom) and industry of Vancouverers],其中包括多民族(ethic minorities/ nations)的贡献。加拿大地广人稀,国土面积比中国还大,人口却不足3000万。吸收(attract/accept)外来移民(immigrants),是加拿大长期(用时态来表示)奉行(observe/follow)的国(national policy)策。可以说,加拿大除了印第安人(American Indian)外,无一不是外来移民(immigrants or descendents of immigrants),不同的只是时间长短(their time of settlement in Canada)而已。温哥华则更是世界上屈指可数(few)的多民族城市(multi-ethnic cities)。现今180万温哥华居民(residents)中,有一半不是在本地出生的(be not born-natives),每4个(one of every four)居民中就有一个是亚洲人。而25万华人(Chinese Canadians)对温哥华的经济转型(economic transformation)起着决定性(play a decisive role)的作用。他们其中有一半是近5年才来到温哥华地区的,使温哥华成为亚洲以外(outside Asia)最大的中国人聚居地(a inhabitation region for Chinese)。

【参考答案】:

The glory of Vancouver is attributable to the intelligence and industry of Vancouverers, different ethnic minorities included.Canada has a vast sparsely-populated land, which is even greater than that of China. However, its population is less than 30 million. Consequently,(加连词)Canada always observes such a national policy as to attract immigrants from the outside world. It can safely be asserted that except for American Indians, all the citizens are immigrants or descendents of immigrants. The only difference between them is their time of settlement in Canada. Vancouver can be ranked(加动词)among the handful of multi-ethnic cities throughout the world. Half of Vancouver’s 1.8 million residents were born elsewhere.(句子整合)In addition, one of every four residents is from Asia. 250 thousand Chinese Canadians play a decisive role in facilitating the economic transformation of the city. And half of them came to settle in the city in the past five years, making the city the best gathering centre of Chinese outside Asia. 2000年:CHINESE TO ENGLISH

中国科技馆的诞生来之不易。与国际著名科技馆和其他博物馆相比,它先天有些不足,后天也常缺乏营养,但是它成长的步伐却是坚实而有力的。它在国际上已被公认为后起之秀。

世界上第一代博物馆属于自然博物馆,它是通过化石(fossil)、标本等向人们介绍地球和各种生物(living creatures)的演化(evolution)历史。第二代属于工业技术博物馆(industrial technology museums),它所展示的是工业文明(industrial civilizations)带来的各种阶段性(at its different stages)结果(achievements)。这两代博物馆虽然起到了传播科学知识(d issemination scientific knowledge)的作用,但是,它们把参观者当成了被动的旁观者(onlooker) 。

世界上第三代博物馆是充满(operate on)全新理念(brand-new concepts)的博物馆。在这里,观众可以(be encouraged)自己去动手操作,自己细心体察(experience and observe)。这样,他们可以更贴近(get closer to)先进的科学技术,去探索(probe into/ explore)科学技术的奥妙。

中国科技馆正是这样的博物馆!它汲取了国际上一些著名博物馆的长处,设计制作了力学、光学、电学、热学、声学、生物学等展品,展示了科学的原理

和先进的科技成果。

【参考译文】

The world’s first-generation museums were nature museums, which made use of fossils and specimens and others to show people the history of evolution of the earth and various kinds of living creatures. The industrial technology museums were known as the second-generation museums. They showed the achievements brought about by industrial civilizations at its different stages.Despite their great contribution to the dissemination of scientific knowledge, these tow generations of museums treated visitors merely as passive onlookers.

The third-generation museums operate on the brand-new concepts. Visitors are encouraged to conduct operation with their own hands and observe whole-heartedly with their own eyes. In this way, they may get closer to advanced science and technology and go on to explore it.

乔羽的歌大家都熟悉。但他另外两大爱好却鲜为人知,那就是钓鱼和喝酒。

晚年(one’s late years)的乔羽喜爱love/take to)垂钓,他说:“有水有鱼的地方大都是有好环境的,好环境便会给人好心情(bring one into good mood/make one feel good)。我认为最好的钓鱼场所不是舒适的、给你准备好饿鱼的垂钓园(fishing pond),而是那极其有吸引力的大自然野外天成的场所(natural places/not man-made places)。”钓鱼是一项能够陶冶性情(mold/improve/nurture a person's temperament)的运动(outdoor sport),有益于身心健康。乔羽说:“钓鱼可分三个阶段:第一阶段是吃鱼;第二阶段是吃鱼和情趣(appeal/interest)兼而有之;第三阶段主要是钓趣(appeal/interest of fishing),面对一池碧水(f acing a pool of blue water),将忧心烦恼(Anxieties and worries)全都抛在一边,使自己的身心得到充分休息(to enjoy the spare time and make one feel relaxed)。”

【参考译文】

Qiao Yu took to fishing in his late years. He once said: “Where there is fish and water, there is good environment, and good environment can make one happy. The best places for fishing, it seems to me, are not fishing-pond with hungry fish and comfortable chairs for fishermen, but attractive natural water bodies in out-of-way places.” Fishing is an outdoor(加词)sport that can improve one’s temperament. It is good for one’s health. “Fishing falls into three stages,”(改一下,句式多样)as Qiao Yu put it, “in the first stage, the interest lies (加词)in eating fish; in the second stage, in fishing as well as in eating fish, while in the third, one is mainly interested in fishing. At that time faced a pool of green water, one casts aside all anxieties and worries and enjoys a good rest, and feels completely relaxed.”

大自然对人的恩赐(favor),无论贫富贵贱,一律平等。所以,人们对于大自然全部一致(without any exception/with no exception)并深深地依赖着。尤其在乡间,上千年来人们一直以不变的方式生活着(they have been keeping the same lifestyle for thousands of years):种植庄稼(grow crops),酿酒(make wine)和饮酒,喂(raise/feed)牛和挤奶(milk the cows),除草和栽花(removes weeds and grows flowers);在周末去教堂祈祷和作礼拜(go to pray in the church),在节日到广场拉琴(play music instruments)、跳舞和唱歌。往日的田园(fields/pasture)依旧是今日的温馨(cosy)家园。这样每个地方都有自己的传说(legend),风俗也就衍传(pass down/on)了下来。

【参考答案】CHINESE TO ENGLISH (记得变通)

Nature dose the same favor to every human being, be he rich or poor. Therefore, all the people, with no exception, are profoundly dependent on nature. Nowhere is it truer than in the countryside, where people have been living the same life for hundreds of years: they grow crops and grapes, brew wines to drink, feed the cattle and milk the cows, root weeds and plant flowers. They go to church to say their prays at weekends, and play music instruments, dance and sing songs on the plaza during festivals. Then yesterday’s farms are still sweet homes today. In this way each area has its own legends, and the customs pass down.

2003年:CHINESE TO ENGLISH

在得病以前,我受父母宠爱,在家中横行霸道,一旦隔离,拘禁在花园山坡上一幢小房子里,顿感被打入冷宫(indifferent/to be deserted),十分郁郁不得志(frustrated)起来。一个春天的傍晚,园中百花怒放(flowers were in full blossom),父母在园中设宴(give a banquet),霎时宾客云集(many guests gathered there),笑语四溢(laughing and cheering filled my ears)。我在山坡的小屋里,悄悄(quietly)掀起(lift)窗帘,窥见(peep into)园中大千世界(the busy and noisy garden),一片喧闹。自己的哥姐,堂表弟兄,也穿插其间(among them),个个喜气洋洋(excited and cheerful)。一霎时(at this moment),一阵被人摈弃( feel deserted),为世所遗忘的悲愤兜上心头,禁不住痛哭(cry)起来。

Before I fell ill, I had been doted on (favored) by my parents, and I had been acting domineeringly and rudely in my family. I suddenly felt disfavored and extremely depressed and frustrated when I isolated and imprisoned in a little room on the hillside in our garden.

【参考答案】CHINESE TO ENGLISH

Before I fell ill, I had been a bully in my family owing to my parents’cosseting.(句子重整)However, I began to feel like been neglected and became depressed and frustrated when I was isolated and confined in a little room on the hillside in our garden. On a spring evening, my parents gave a banquet in the garden, where all kinds of flowers were in full blossom. Guests gathered there, laughing and cheering while I, in my little room, lifted the curtain only to peep at the wonderful and

bustling scene in the garden. I noticed my brothers, sisters and cousins in the crowd, all excited and cheerful. At the moment my heart was being gnawed by the feeling of been deserted and abandoned and I could not help crying bitterly.

在人际关系问题上我们不要太浪漫主义。人是很有趣的,往往在接触一个人时首先看到的都是他或她的优点。这一点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候,印象很好。吃头两个主菜时,也是赞不绝口。愈吃愈趋于冷静,吃完了这顿宴席,缺点就都找出来了。于是转喜为怒,转赞美为责备挑剔,转首肯为摇头。这是因为,第一,开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态,而饿了吃糠甜如蜜,饱了吃蜜也不甜。第二,你初到一个餐馆,开始举筷时有新鲜感,新盖的茅房三天香,这也可以叫做“陌生化效应”吧。

【参考答案】CHINESE TO ENGLISH

We shouldn’t be too romantic about human relationship. Human beings are very interesting. They tend to notice other’s merits in their first encounter. It is just like the expression of dining in a restaurant. The starter or cold dish usually leaves us a good impression. You may praise a lot while taking the first tow courses. However, the more you eat, the calmer you may become. At the end of the dinner, all the defects come out. Then happiness turns into anger and praise into scolding. First, because you are hungry when you begin the dinner. And when you are hungry, brans taste as sweet as honey. When you are fed up, even the honey is tasteless.

We shouldn’t be too romantic in dealing with the interpersonal relationship. Man is a kind of strange animal. At the first meeting, he always focuses on the opposite’s advantages and virtues. This shares the similarity with the experience of dining in a restaurant. For the first dish or the cold dish, good impression will be formed. Full praises can be heard for the first-served main courses. While after the diner is finished, faults have been found, because the diner becomes calmer and calmer. Then he changes his attitude from pleasure to angry, from praise to blame, from positive to negative. For the one hand, he is in the state of hungry when he begins to dine, he will feel satisfied even if he were eating junk food when he is hungry, but when his hunger is appeased, he will feel tasteless even if he is having the best. On the other hand, in the restaurant, everything is fresh to him when he begins to dine. As the Chinese old saying goes: The fragrance in the washroom can not last long. May it be called “Strangeness Effect”

一个人的生命究竟有多大意义,这有什么标准可以衡量吗?提出一个绝对的标准当然很困难;但是,大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真,看他对

待劳动、工作等等的态度如何,也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。

古来一切有成就的人,都很严肃地对待自己的生命,当他活着一天,总要尽量多劳动、多工作、多学习,不肯虚度年华,不让时间白白地浪费掉。我国历代的劳动人民及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。

2005:CHINESE TO ENGLISH

一个人的生命究竟有多大意义(significance),这有什么标准(criterion--- 批评判断的标准或者规范)可以衡量(evaluate)吗?提出(give/offer)一个绝对的标准(an absolute standard)当然很困难;但是,大体上看(generally speaking)一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真,看他对待劳动、工作等等的态度如何(from the attitude one hold s towards life and work and so on ),也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。

古来(Since the ancient time) 一切有成就的人(all of those who achieved a lot),都很严肃地对待自己的生命(held a serious attitude towards life),当他活着一天,总要尽量(try one’s best to do more in their work and study)多劳动、多工作、多学习,不肯虚度年华(never waste a second),不让时间白白地浪费掉。我国历代(past dynasties)的劳动人民及大政治家(statesmen)、大思想家(great thinkers)等等都莫不如此。

【参考译文一】

What’s the significance of life? Is there a criterion to evaluate it? It’s very difficult to offer an absolute criterion. However, we can make the proper judgment of the significance one’s life from his attitude he hold s towards life and work and so on.

Since the ancient time,all of those who achieved a lot always held serious attitudes towards their lives. They tried to make best use of their lives to work and study without wasting a second. None of the working people and the great statesmen and thinkers of past dynasties was exception.

【参考译文二】

Is there a standard to evaluate the meaning of one’s life? Of course, it is rather difficult to offer an absolute standard. But generally speaking, it will be quite easy for us to make a proper evaluation of it if we can take a look into whether one is serious about life and into one’s attitudes towards his work and personal life.

Throughout the history, all the accomplished people were serious about their life. They tried to make best use of their life to work and study without a minute wasted. None of the working people and the statesmen and thinkers was exception.

最新01-14年专八汉译英(附答案)

01到14年专八汉译英真题及答案: 2014年本题是一篇典型的文学翻译,原文选自老舍名篇《我的母亲》。老舍的作品生活气息浓郁,语言朴实直白。因此,在翻译本篇时不仅要注意忠实于文字意义,更要忠实地再现原文的语言风格,所以要避免用过于高级的词汇表达和句子结构,用平实的语句表达出原文的精神面貌。 当我在小学毕了业的时候,亲友一致的愿意我去学手艺,好帮助母亲。我晓得我应当去找饭吃,以减轻母亲的勤劳困苦。可是,我也愿意升学。我偷偷的考入了师范学校——制服,饭食,书籍,宿处,都由学校供给。只有这样,我才敢对母亲说升学的话。入学,要交十圆的保证金。这是一笔巨款!母亲作了半个月的难,把这巨款筹到,而后含泪把我送出门去。她不辞劳苦,只要儿子有出息。当我由师范毕业,而被派为小学校校长,母亲与我都一夜不曾合眼。我只说了句:“以后,您可以歇一歇了!”她的回答只有一串串的眼泪。 参考译文:After I graduated from primary school,relatives and friends all suggested that I should drop out and learn a trade to help my mother. Although I knew that I ought to seek a livelihood to relieve mother of hard work and distress,I still aspired to go on with study. So I kept learning secretly. I had no courage to tell mother about the idea until admitted to a normal school which provided free uniforms,books,room and board. To enter the school,I had to pay ten Yuan as a deposit. This was a large sum of money for my family. However,after two weeks' tough effort,mother managed to raise the money and sent me off to school in tears afterwards. She would spare no pains for her son to win a bright future. On the day when I was appointed the schoolmaster after graduation,mother and I spent a sleepless night. I said to her,"you can have a rest in the future." but she replied nothing,only with tears streaming down her face. 2013年 生活像一杯红酒,热爱生活的人会从中品出无穷的美妙。将它握在手中观察,它的暗红有血的感觉,那正是生命的痕迹。抿一口留在口中回味,它的甘甜有一丝苦涩,如人生一般复杂迷离。喝一口下肚,余香润人心肺,让人终受益。红酒越陈越美味,生活越丰富越美好。当人生走向晚年,就如一瓶待开封的好酒,其色彩是沉静的,味道中充满慷慨于智慧。 Life is like a cup of wine; people who love it discover inexhaustible wonders from it. Hold in the hand and gaze at it, the dark red color is reminiscent of the blood, which is the impress of life. Take a sip of it and appreciate the taste, the bittersweet flavor is exactly the same with life, which is complicated and blurred. Once the sip is swallowed, the lingering fragrance pleases the heart and refreshes the mind, leaving a person lifelong benefit. There was a remarkable resemblance between life and wine: the taste becomes more delicious as the wine mellows, just as life gets better as it becomes more abundant. When life comes to twilight years, it looks calm and tastes full of wisdom and generosity, just like a bottle of wine to be savored.

英译汉历年真题全文翻译 1994年真题参考译文 新学派科学家们认为,在扩大科学知识范围的过程中,技术是一股被忽视了的力量(71)他们认为,科学之所以向前发展,与其说是因为天才伟人的真知灼见,还不如说是因为像改进了的技术和工具之类更为普遍的东西。(72)一位新学派的领袖人物坚持说,简言之,所谓的科学革命主要是指一系列工具的改进、发明和使用;这一系列工具的改进、发明和使用在无数个方面拓展了科学的领域。(73)多年来,工具和技术本身作为根本性革新的源泉在很大程度上被历史学家和思想家们所忽视了。肯定技术的现代派认为,诸如伽利略、牛顿、麦克斯韦、爱因斯坦这样的著名科学大师以及像爱迪生这样的发明家都十分重视各种不同的、可用于科学实验的工艺信息和技术装置并从中获益匪浅,提倡肯定技术、否定天才的论点之核心是对伽利略在科学革命的初期所起作用的分析。当时人们对天体的认识源于公元二世纪时的天文学家托勒密。他认为,在复杂的天体系统中所有的天体都围绕着地球运动。(74)伽利略最伟大的成就在于,在l 609年他是第一个用新发明的望远镜来观察天空的人,以证实行星是围绕太阳旋转而不是围绕地球旋转的。但故事中真正的英雄,新学派科学家们认为,是改进制作眼镜的机器的漫长过程。 联邦政府的政策不可避免地卷入了这场“技术”对“天才”之争。(75)政府是应该以牺牲技术作为代价来增加对纯理论科学的经费投入,还是相反,这常常取决于人们把哪一个看作驱动力量。

(一)英译汉练习 1. The winds of November were like summer breezes to him, and his face glowed with the pleasant cold. His cheeks were flushed and his eyes glistened; his vitality was intense, shining out upon others with almost a material warmth. 十一月的寒风,对他就像夏天吹拂的凉风一样。舒适的冷空气使他容光焕发,两颊通红,两眼闪光。他生气勃勃,叫别人感到是一团炙手的火。(英语material warmth 字面意思是"物质的温暖",这里具体译作"一团炙手的火"言明意清,让人一看就懂。) 2. It was morning, and the new sun sparkled gold across the ripples of gentle sea. The sea was wonderfully calm and now it was rich with all the color of the setting sun. In the sky already a solitary star twinkled. 清晨,初升的太阳照着平静的海面,微波荡漾,闪耀着金色的光芒。(英语the ripples of the gentle sea 译成汉语时在结构上作了调整,这样译文念起来意思清楚,行文漂亮。) 3. To appease their thirst its readers drank deeper than before, until they were seized with a kind of delirium. 为了解渴,读者比以前越饮越深,直到陷入了昏迷状态。这个句子的译文死抠原文形式,死抠字典释义,翻译腔严重,让人难以明白其意思,可改译为:读者为了满足自己的渴望,越读越想读,直到进入了如痴如醉的状态。所谓过分表达,就是指译文画蛇添足,增加了原文没有的东西;而欠表达则是省略或删节原文的内容。翻译时均应避免这类错误。 4. Early Reagan was a mirror image of early Carter. 里根上台时在做法上跟执政初期的卡特毫无二致。 (a mirror image 如直译为"镜子里的形象",就让人感到非常别扭,远不如"毫无二致"自然。) 5. Up Broadway he turned, and halted at a glittering café, where are gathered together nightly the choicest products of the grapes, the silkworm and the protoplasm. 他拐到百老汇路上,在一家灯火辉煌的饭店前停下来,那里每晚汇集上好的美酒、华丽的衣服和有地位的人物。 6. Words are not themselves a reality but only representation of it, and the King's English, like the Anglo-French of the Normans, is a class representation of reality. 单词本身并不是客观物体,只不过是代表客观体而已;像日尔曼人的盎格鲁法语一样,标准英语也是一种代表客观体的语言。 (King's English 不能直译为"国王英语",它是指标准英语,相当于汉语中的"普通话"。) 7. At 19 he had commenced one of those careers attractive and inexplicable to ordinary mortals for whom a single bankruptcy is good as a feast. 他19 岁时就已经走上了一条在普通人看来是极富吸引力而又不可理解的道路,普通人认为,只是一次破产就叫人够呛了。 (good as a feast 如直译为"像丰盛的宴席一样好",意思正好反了.直接释明其意"叫人够呛",地道通顺.) 8.

2004-2014三笔真题汉译英答案

2004.5 It isn’t often that one has the chance to congratulate a noted woman writer on her 80th birthday. So on October 5 last year,when I went to Bing Xin’s house,I felt very excited. I explained that I hoped she would tell me something about how she becam e a poet. “I haven’t written poetry for many years,” she said smiling. “But I still love to read good poetry.” Bing Xin was fortunate to have parents who encouraged her to study and write. When she was attending a women’s college in Beijing in 1919,an event occurred which changed the whole course of her life. That was the May 4th Movement,a patriotic democratic movement started by students in Beijing. The mass demonstrations made a deep impression on her. She threw herself into the struggle and was put in charge of publicity by the Student Union. She wrote poems,articles and stories,attacking imperialism and feudalism in its various forms. Going to the U.S. in 1923 to study literature,she wrote down her impressions on the way and during her stay there. These were published in the collection To Little Readers. The book brought her instant fame,not only because she was a woman writer,but also because of the noble sentiments in the book. Quite a few younger writers say it was Bing Xin’s writings that started t hem on the road they have since followed. 2004.11 In recent years, the Chinese government has encouraged domestic travel and implemented a policy of "holiday economics", giving its citizens three annual week-long vacations and the opportunity to spend more savings on travel, shopping and eating out. In 2004, total tourist spending during the May Day holidays was 39 billion yuan. Tourism now contributes 2.3 percent of the nation's gross domestic product (GDP), and revenues are expected to grow by 10 percent annually through to 2013, creating 40 million jobs.

汉译英: 试题一:必作题(汉译英)(20分) 从19世纪80年代之后的鸦片战争、甲午战争,到庚子之乱乃至20世纪30年代的日本侵华战争,中国惨遭东西方列强的屠戮和极其野蛮的经济掠夺;再加上封建腐败和连年内乱,中国主权沦丧、生灵涂炭、国力衰弱、民不聊生。深重的灾难、惨痛的事实使中华民族深知和平之珍贵、发展之重要。这样的历史实践形成了中国人民渴望和平、企求安定的心理,坚定了中国人民走和平发展道路的信念。 1949年新中国成立后,我们在发展道路上艰辛探索,既经历过成功的喜悦,也经受过失败的挫折。从1978年开始,中国开启了新的征程,从计划转向市场,从封闭转向开放,从自成一体转向融入经济全球化,走独立自主地建设中国特色社会主义的道路,取得了举世瞩目的辉煌成就。实践充分证明,坚持走和平发展的道路是正确的,既符合中国国情,又顺应时代潮流。中国将沿着这条和平发展的道路,坚定不移地走下去。 试题二:选作题(泽译英)(20分) 1968年我从北京来到陕西,惟一挂念的是在故乡身患绝症的老母亲。母亲的时日已经不多,身边再无亲人,离别成为我心中最沉重的痛。 惟一能传递母亲信息的就是那枚小小的邮票。母亲当时已经双目失明,信是让别人代写的,内容千篇一律的干枯,邮票却是母亲自己摸索着贴上去的,她贴了一叠信封,随用随取,为的是不给别人添麻烦。 每回接到母亲来信,我都要抚摸贴在信封右上角的邮票,那是母亲亲手贴上去的,它贴得规正却无画面感,很多时候是头朝下的,因为母亲根本看不见,她是凭感觉在贴。 邮票残留着母亲的手印,承载着母亲的挂念,那上面有母亲的气息。凝视中,我常常泪眼模糊…… 来自母亲的邮票一张一张地攒着,它们是母亲的替代。我对邮票的认识源自于此。
