上外考研2018英语翻译基础(真题)(回忆版) 一、汉译英,翻译划线部分,70分 对中国90后,00后深入骨髓的剖析 现如今的家庭教育之难,难在什么地方?难在我们的教育有太多的悖论和问题需要面对。各位父母,我先问你们一个问题,你了解现在的孩子吗?我在这个问题上很有发言权,因为近20年来,我大概接触了8000个家庭案例。当今的孩子是怎么回事?当今的孩子是什么人?我们要从本质上来把握。假如我们不能从本质上来把握,学校教育也好,家庭教育也好,都不会在点子上。 从1993年以后孩子们就开始不一样了。为什么这么说呢?理由是1993年中 国取缔了粮票,这件事情年纪大的是不是还记得?在中国这样一个国家里面,取缔了粮票意味着什么?我们吃饭不愁了。当一个民族吃饭不愁,尤其是到我们这样的民族吃饭不愁的时候,我们会愁什么呢?我们的需要开始变得不一样了,人对人的需要不一样了,家长对孩子的需要不一样了,社会对人的需要不一样,人对社会的需要不一样了。 我们来看1993年以后的人的基本特征,首先,他们都是独套公寓里的独子。独 套公寓里的独子有什么样的人生感受呢?你可以去试试,到春天的时候,买一只刚刚生出来的小鸡,养着它,给它好吃好喝,你看看是不是两个礼拜以后小鸡就死掉了,因为小鸡也会孤独。现在的孩子带着天生的孤独感来到这个世界。那么孤独会有哪些麻烦?一,人一孤独,无端伤感,莫名其妙流眼泪;二,人一孤独,思考力就变得非常强,所以麻烦就来了,既不思考吃,又不思考穿,他就过早地思考了一个终极问题,最高哲学问题,“我存在有什么意义?”我们现在的孩子,连四岁的孩子就会在那里发呆了,你不知道他小脑袋里想什么。一旦人有这种问题,痛苦就伴随着他了。所以我们教育面对的问题是我们得知道自己的子女是什么人,才可以有方向。 第一,当今的孩子背负着沉重的情感负担

2016年上外MTI最全真题汇总首发(三科全有!!)

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.

英汉翻译课堂笔记梳理及扩展

English—Chinese Translation and Extensive Knowledge 第一讲(四课时)翻译的历史起源以及各大著名理论和概论 2012/09/18 第一节:翻译起源以及翻译大家(一) 1.1翻译事业在我国有着悠久的历史。 最早的佛经翻译是西汉哀帝元寿元年(公元前2年)贵霜帝国大月氏王遣使者伊存来中国口授佛经,博士弟子秦景宪协助使伊存得以记录的《浮图经》。 中国历史上出现过三次翻译高潮:东汉至唐宋的佛经翻译、明末清初的科技翻译和鸦片战争至“五四”的西学翻译。佛经翻译是中国翻译事业的起点。中国的翻译活动可以追溯到春秋战国时代。中国真正称得上语际翻译的活动应该说是始于西汉的哀帝时期的佛经翻译。这一时期的佛经翻译活动还只是民间私人事业到了符秦时代,佛经翻译活动就组织有序了。当时主要的组织者是释道安。因此他主张严格的词对词、句对句(word for word, line for line)的直译。道安在此期间请来了著名的翻译家天竺(即印度)人鸠摩罗什。他翻译了三百多卷佛经文献,如《金刚经》、《法华经》、《十二门论》、《中观论》、《维摩经》等。其译文神情并茂、妙趣盎然,堪称当时的上乘之译作,至今仍被视为我国文学翻译的奠基石。 Representative:唐玄奘(西元600-664年)主要生活在初唐时期,一生共翻译了佛教大小乘经论75部1335卷,共计一千多万;玄奘的译著从数量和品质上都达到了中国佛经翻译史上的高峰;堪称:翻译家中的第一人;其成就主要在于是“新译”的创始人。他提出的著名的“五不翻”原则及“既须求真,又须喻俗”的标准,对我国翻译事业有很大影响。 ↓↓ (所谓“求真”就是指翻译必须忠实于原文内容并保持原文风貌;所谓“须喻俗”,就是指译文语言必须通顺易懂并符合其语言规范。玄奘将“须求真”和“须喻俗”有机地结合,使两者相辅相成,) (所谓“不翻”,不是不翻译,而是指“音译”。玄奘列举了5种应该音译的情况,即“五不翻”。其“五不翻”具体为:(1)秘密之,故不翻。佛经中有许多咒语,有其秘密的意思和作用,应该音译,如“陀罗尼”。(2)含多义,故不翻。即一词多义的梵文,在汉语中找不到合适的词汇来表达,因此保留原文,只作音译。如“薄伽梵”,在梵文里便有六层意思。(3)此方所无,故不翻。“此方”即“中国”,指在中国文化中没有的事物应该音译。如“阎浮”树,由于产于印度等地,而我国没有这种树,故保留原意。(4)顺于古例,故不翻。指有些约定俗成的词语应该遵循习惯采取音译。例如“阿耨多罗三藐三菩提”,本来意“指无上正等正觉”,但由于自东汉以来,历代译经家用“音译”翻译,因此保留前人翻译模式,不再翻译成“无上正等正觉”。(5)为生善,故不翻。指具有特殊意义或功能的词语也应当音译。如“般若”虽可意译为智慧,但却是佛教文化中蕴含着特殊意义的一种智慧,一旦把意思直接译出来,则会韵味尽失。“五不翻”原则对我国翻译事业影响极其巨大,直到现在,仍然具有深远的影响。) 1.2文学翻译阶段及其代表人物 文学翻译阶段大致在19世纪60年代到20世纪80年代

北京外国语大学高级英语翻译理论与实践院英汉互译同声传译专业考研经验

北外高翻英汉互译同声传译专业考研经验 报考院校: 北京外国语大学高级翻译学院英汉互译(口译方向) 我是从大三上学期开始准备考研的,其实本来没想这么早启动,因为偶然听了一场专业机构的讲座,在老师的提醒下意识到自己的目标比较高,竞争比较激烈,所以决定及早动手报了班开始全面复习,俗话说:早起的鸟儿有食吃。 考研首先要有一个明确的目标,也就说确定考研的院校、专业,由于不同的专业有不同的学习方法,所以明确了目标专业、学校,才能制定合理的学习计划。对于考研,我想很重要的是合理的学习计划、有效的参考资料以及良好的心态。 在专业机构报了班了解到英语真题的文章主要出自欧美的一些权威期刊杂志,所以我从大三上学期就开始有意识的翻看一些外文杂志,包括:Economist、Times等,还有在图书馆里经常会翻的:Digest、China today、English World等。由于开始的时间比较早,因此,在看的时候,并不着急,慢慢看,认真看,有问题的时候会问问专业机构的老师,这个是免费的,不会的单词一定要查,这样不仅能能有效提升阅读的能力,也能储备一些背景知识,这都是对付考研英语很重要的基本元素。 合理的学习计划 对于一个准备考研的学生来说,如何在较短的时间内做到高效的复习?是很多人关心的问题,这里就凸显了计划的重要性,合理有效的计划是成功的不二法则。培训机构的全程策划班给我们讲了一个基本的计划模版,我又根据个人的实际情况作了个性化的调整,下面将我的学习计划与大家分享一下: 大三下学期开始 开学,写计划,开始下决心认真准备: 专业一轮:3.4.5.6月牢固基础,多看原版杂志; 第二轮:7.8月暑假天热,在专业课强化班听教师指导,同时复习二外,开始看参考书;第三轮:9.10.11月强化政治,认真看,开始做题;二外也不丢,重点在杂志和翻译书上,多看多翻,经常让老师看自己的作品,让老师给意见,说实话,我都不好意思了,就报了一个班,确总去问问题,不过专业机构的教务老师每次还是很热情,安排老师给答疑; 第四轮:12.1 冲刺,各科模拟题、真题,严格按时间限制练习,培养考试感觉:政治背大题,看时事,上了专业机构的冲刺点题班,重点击破可能的考点;二外再次认真看参考书、单词;杂志还是不能断,根据个人安排时间量;翻译真题,练习题,术语强记。 大概就是这四轮,要注意以下几点: (1)每天每科都要看一些,时间自己安排,但不能丢掉任何一科。 (2)政治一定要认真看,多看,认真做题,重在理解。经济条件许可的情况下,还是建议报一下辅导班,专业机构的老师说今年的政治辅导对报专业课辅导班的学生是免费赠的,真实更省心了,听老师讲讲毕竟要比自己复习效率高一些,也能更好的把握重点。

二、英语翻译基础(357) 1.英译汉(75分) 该部分选取的是卢梭的《爱弥儿》(Emile, or On Education)部分文章,主要选自《爱弥儿》第三卷第一节。全文1000多字,共11段,但题目只要求翻译划线部分,总计翻译872字,共6段。完整原文如下: The whole course of man's life up to adolescence is a period of weakness; yet there comes a time during these early years when the child's strength overtakes the demands upon it, when the growing creature, though absolutely weak, is relatively strong. His needs are not fully developed and his present strength is more than enough for them. He would be a very feeble man, but he is a strong child. What is the cause of man's weakness? It is to be found in the disproportion between his strength and his desires. It is our passions that make us weak, for our natural strength is not enough for their satisfaction. To limit our desires comes to the same thing, therefore, as to increase our strength. When we can do more than we want, we have strength enough and to spare, we are really strong. This is the third stage of childhood, the stage with which I am about to deal. I still speak of childhood for want of a better word; for our scholar is approaching adolescence, though he has not yet reached the age of puberty. About twelve or thirteen the child's strength increases far more rapidly than his needs. The strongest and fiercest of the passions is still unknown, his physical development is still imperfect and seems to await the call of the will. He is scarcely aware of extremes of heat and cold and braves them with impunity. He needs no coat, his blood is warm; no spices, hunger is his sauce, no food comes amiss at this age; if he is sleepy he stretches himself on the ground and goes to sleep; he finds all he needs within his reach; he is not tormented by any imaginary wants; he cares nothing what others think; his desires are not beyond his grasp; not only is he self-sufficing, but for the first and last time in his life he has more strength than he needs. I know beforehand what you will say. You will not assert that the child has more needs than I attribute to him, but you will deny his strength. You forget that I am speaking of my own pupil, not of those puppets who walk with difficulty from one room to another, who toil indoors and carry bundles of paper. Manly strength, you say, appears only with manhood; the vital spirits, distilled in their proper vessels and spreading through
