基础英语

今年基础英语的单词还算简单，不是那种特别难的但是今年没想到的是作文居然在毫不知情的情况下增加了100字，要求写500字，题目是one will be judged, in his forties, by his performance not by his promise. Do you agree or not . 这个题目还算有话说，但是500字写起来确实挺累的，怪不得前面的词汇和阅读那么简单，我作文写得挺紧张的，洋洋洒洒写了4大面，我也没概念自己到底写了多少。。。。

阅读挺简单的，第一篇是讲古代的货币，第二篇是关于文艺复兴时期三大艺术家，第三篇有点难度是关于苏格拉底的哲学理论，第四篇是给了一首爱默生的诗歌让鉴赏，题目是杜鹃花，问这首诗歌的主题和诗人是怎样来表现这一主题的。On Being Asked, Whence Is The Flower? In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes,

I found the fresh Rhodora in the woods,

Spreading its leafless blooms in a damp nook,

To please the desert and the sluggish brook.

The purple petals, fallen in the pool,

Made the black water with their beauty gay;

Here might the red-bird come his plumes to cool,

And court the flower that cheapens his array.

Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why

This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,

Tell them, dear, that if eyes were made for seeing,

Then Beauty is its own excuse for being:

Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!

I never thought to ask, I never knew:

But, in my simple ignorance, suppose

The self-same Power that brought me there brought you.

翻译基础

今年完全向政治靠拢啊，崇拜文化的苏大去哪里了·········

中国共产党十八大

粮食安全

地缘政治学

教育体制改革

推进政治体制改革

反对形式主义

房地产泡沫

社会公平与正义

航空母舰

富裕阶层

Non-performing assets

The black humor of Mo Y an

Culture deficit

The doctrine of the Golden Mean

Fingerprint identification

UNESCO

Fundraising party

Labor insurance

Annual Grammy A wards

The Re-education through labor system

The law of the Guarantee and Interest of Consumer

Consumer price index

总的来说今年的题不是很难。。。。就是翻译基础的词语翻译和以前有点差别。。。对于要备战2014的学弟学妹来说的话，建议把基英的ENGLISH BOOK 5.6.7.三本看下，单词是重点。。基英很多很多单词都是出自基英。。。。诗歌欣赏这个还真不好说，自己平时慢慢练吧。。。作文这个比较悲催，500字啊。。。字数很是问题，平时写不多的娃子要多练练。。反正我当时坐着凑字数。。。

至于百科不用说的方华文的书必须的，我是自己做总结版的，6大张A4纸，拿着方便。。。大小作文不说了。。。主要看谁主要翻译了什么，谁的名作是什么，还有谁提出什么新翻译理论。。。百科应该大部分就是这三方面的。。。。当然不放心的可以多看。。。

2016上外翻硕英语基础真题 I.Cloze Here's why the'American century'will survive rise of China In1941,Time editor Henry Luce proclaimed“the American century”.Some now see this coming to an end1.as a result of the nation’s economic and political decline.Many point to the example of US failure to convince its allies to stay out of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank,Beijing’s rival to the World Bank;but this was2.more of an example of a faulty decision than evidence of decline,which raises the question of what is the natural life cycle of a nation. A century is generally the limit for a human organism,but countries are social constructs. Rome did not collapse until more than three centuries after it reached its apogee of power in 117AD.After American independence in1776,Horace Walpole,the British politician, lamented that his nation had been reduced to the level of Sardinia,just as Britain was about to enter the industrial revolution that3.powered its second century as a global power. Any effort at assessing American power in the coming decades should 4.take into account how many earlier efforts had been wide of the mark.It is chastening to remember how wildly5.exaggerated US estimates of Soviet power in the1970s and of Japanese power in the1980s were.Today,some see the Chinese as10feet tall and proclaim this“the Chinese century”. China’s size and relatively rapid economic growth will bring it closer to the US in terms of its power resources in the next few decades.But this does not necessarily mean it will surpass the US in military,economic and soft power. 6.Even if China suffers no big domestic political setback,many projections are simple linear extrapolations of growth rates that are likely to slow in the future. 7.Moreover,economic projections are one dimensional.They ignore US military and soft power advantages,such as the desire of students around the world to attend US universities.They also overlook China’s geopolitical 8.disadvantages in the Asian balance of power,compared with America’s relations with Europe,Japan and India,which are likely to remain more favourable. It is not impossible that a challenger such as China,Europe,Russia,India or Brazil will surpass the US in the first half of this century,but it is not likely. On the question of absolute rather than9.relative American decline,the US faces serious problems in areas such as debt,secondary education,income in equality and political gridlock, but these are only part of the picture.On the positive side of the ledger are favourable trends in demography,technology and energy as well as abiding factors such as geography and entrepreneurial culture. The scenarios that could10.precipitate decline include ones in which the US overreacts to terrorist attacks by turning inwards and thus cuts itself off from the strength it obtains from openness.Alternatively,it could react by overcommitting itself and wasting blood and treasure as it did in Vietnam and Iraq. As an overall assessment,describing the21st century as one of American decline is inaccurate and misleading.Though the US has problems it is not in absolute decline,unlike ancient Rome,and it is likely to remain more powerful than any single state in coming decades.

201305三级笔译CATTI实务真题答案

Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉)(50 points) HIGUERA DE LA SERENA, Spain —It didn’t take long for Manuel García Murillo, a bricklayer who took over as mayor here last June, to realize that his town was in trouble. It was 800,000 euros, a little more than $1 million, in the red. There was no cash on hand to pay for anything — and there was work that needed to be done. 在西班牙小镇伊格拉德拉塞雷纳，铺砖匠Manuel García Murillo当选镇长不久，他便意识到小镇已陷入了危机。小镇财政赤字达80万欧元，近100万美元。现在已没有现金做任何事情了，但是还有许多工作需要完成。 But then an amazing thing happened, he said. Just as the health department was about to close down the day care center because it didn’t have a proper kitchen, Bernardo Benítez, a construction worker, offered to put up the walls and the tiles free. Then, Maria José Carmona, an adult education teacher, stepped in to clean the place up. 但是此后，令人惊奇的事情发生了。由于厨房条件太差，小镇卫生部关闭了日常看护中心。不久，建筑工人Bernardo Benítez无偿为看护中心搭了墙铺了瓷砖，之后青年教师Maria José Carmona打扫了这里的卫生，也没有索要一分钱。 And somehow, the volunteers just kept coming. Every Sunday now, the residents of this town in southwest Spain —young and old —do what needs to be done, whether it is cleaning the streets, raking the leaves, unclogging culverts or planting trees in the park. 不知为什么，做志愿工作的人越来越多。现在，每个周末西班牙西南小镇的居民们无论男女老少，或是清理街道或清理下水道，或是修建枝叶，或是在公园里植树，都在义务作者所需要做的事情。 “It was an initiative from them,”said Mr. García. “Day to day we talked to people and we told them there was no money. Of course, they could see it. The grass in between the sidewalks was up to my thigh. García说：“这完全是他们自发的，每天我们都和他们聊天，告诉他们我们没钱给他们。当然，情况他们也看得到。人行道之间草越长越高。 Higuera de la Serena is in many ways a microcosm of Spain’s troubles. Just as Spain’s national and regional governments are struggling with the collapse of the construction industry, overspending on huge capital projects and a pileup of unpaid bills, the same problems afflict many of its small towns. 总体上说，小镇正是西班牙窘境的缩影。西班牙建筑业崩溃，无论是国家政府还是区级政府都苦苦挣扎，而资本项目开支过高，债务堆积成山。这样的问题牵连着这个的各个小镇，它们也因此而痛苦不堪。 But what has brought Higuera de la Serena a measure of fame in Spain is that the residents have stepped up where their government has failed. Mr. García says his phone rings regularly from other town officials who want to know how to do the same thing. He is serving without pay, as are the town’s two other elected officials. They are also forgoing the cars and phones that usually come with the job. 但小镇伊格拉德拉塞雷纳所发生的事情却为窘境中的西班牙带来了解决方案，尽管政府无力回天，人们却可以采取行动。García说，时常其他镇上的官员会打来电话，询问怎么去调动人民的积极性。与镇上的另外两名官员一样，García也是无偿为小镇工作。他们都放弃了各自职位上应匹配的汽车和手机。 “We lived beyond our means,”Mr. García said. “We invested in public works that weren’

A century is generally the limit for a human organism but countries are social constructs.Rome did not collapse until more than three centuries after it reached its apogee of power in117AD.After American independence in1776Horace Walpole, the British politician,lamented that his nation had been reduced to the level of Sardinia,just as Britain was about to enter the industrial revolution that3.powered its second century as a global power. Any effort at assessing American power in the coming decades should4.take into account how many earlier efforts have been wide of the mark.It is chastening to remember how wildly5.exaggerated US estimates of Soviet power in the1970s and of Japanese power in the1980s were.Today some see the Chinese as10ft tall and proclaim this“the Chinese century”. China’s size and relatively rapid economic growth will bring it closer to the US in terms of its power resources in the next few decades.But this does not necessarily mean it will surpass the US in military,economic and soft power. 6.Even if China suffers no big domestic political setback,many projections are simple linear extrapolations of growth rates that are likely to slow in the future.
