英语四级翻译：维吾尔族

维吾尔族(Uygur)是中国的一个少数民族。维吾尔族人喜欢喝奶茶，吃肉和用面粉烤制的馕(nang)。他们有自己的语言和文字。他们的文学具有一种独特的民族风格，其中“阿凡提的故事”(the Story of Afanti) 中国各族人民的喜爱。维吾尔族是个能歌善舞的民族，每逢节日和婚礼，他们都会邀请客人和他们一起跳传统民间舞蹈。他们的民歌优美动听，被广泛传唱。

参考译文：

The Uygur is a Chinese ethnic minority.Uygur people like to drink milk tea, eat meat and nang baked with flour.They have their own spoken and written languages.Uygur literature is of a unique ethnic style, among which the Story of Afanti is favored by all ethnic groups in China.The Uygur people are good at singing and dancing.They will invite guests to join them in their traditional folk dance in festivals and wedding ceremonies.Their folk songs sound beautiful and are widely sung.

解析：

1.第2句中的定语“用面粉烤制的”较长，可将其处理成后置定语，用分词短语baked with flour来表达，表被动。

2.在第3句中，“语言”侧重指口头的，而“文字”则侧重指书面的，故该句可译为They have their own spoken and written languages。该句也可对应地译为 They have their own languages and characters。

3.在第4句中，“具有……风格”可用be of... style来表达;“其中……”可用among which引导的定语从句来表达，将前后两个分句连接起来，使分句间的语义关系更加紧密。

4.倒数第2句较长，后两个分句“每逢……”和“他们都会……”之间语义联系紧密，可合译为一个句子，第1个分句则单独另成一句。在“维吾尔族是个能歌善舞的民族”中，“能歌善舞”的施动者是“人”，而非“民族”,故需译为 The Uygur people are good at...。“每逢......”作状语，可译为 in festivals and wedding ceremonies，置于句末。

英语四级翻译：找工作

如今，越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下：首先，大学生把在校的大多数时间都用在了专业学科学习上，只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次，大学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈，这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此，强烈建议大学生在课余时间做一些兼职工作，以积累相关的工作经验。

参考答案：

Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and

it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training. Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce. And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience。

难点精析

1.抱怨很难找到好工作：翻译为complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job。其中“抱怨做某事”用句型complain about doing sth。表示，having great difficulties in finding a good job表示“找工作有困难”，用到了句型have difficulties in doing sth.。

2.只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训：翻译为it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training。‘只有当才’用强调句型it is only when…that…表示。

3.导致：翻译为results in,同义短语有lead to和bring about，但是表示不好的结果时一般用短语result in。

4.强烈建议：翻译为it is highly suggested that...，其中highly suggested也可以用 strongly recommended 替换，都表示“强烈建议做某事”。

5.积累相关的工作经验：翻译为accumulate relevant working experience。

英语四级翻译：茶文化

中国是一个文化历史悠久的(time-honored )国度，也是一个礼仪(ceremony and decorum )之邦。每当客人来访，都需要泡茶给客人喝。在给客人奉茶之前，你应该问问他们都喜欢喝什么类型的茶，并采用最合适的茶具奉上。奉茶期间，主人需要仔细留意客人的茶杯里的茶量。通常，若是用茶杯泡的茶，在茶喝完一半之后就应该加开水，这样，茶杯就一直都是满的，茶的芳香(bouquet)也得以保留。

参考翻译:

Before serving tea, you may askthem for their preferences as to what kind of tea they fancy, and serve them the tea in themost appropriate teacups. In the course of serving tea, the host should take careful note ofhow much water remains in the guests'cups. Usually, if the tea is made in a teacup, boilingwater should be added into the cup when half of the tea in it has been consumed; and thus thecup is kept filled and the tea retains the same bouquet.

1.一个文化历史悠久的国度：可译为a country with atime-honored civilization。核心词“国度”前的修饰语可采用with来进行关联。

2.都需要泡茶给…：可译为 it is necessary to make andserve tea to...此处的分句中原文没有给出明确的主语，所以采用it is necessary to do sth.这样的结构。此处如果采用增译法，可增加主语“我们”或者“主人”。

3.奉茶：指提供茶给客人，可译为serve tea。

4.在茶喝完一半之后：可译为after half of the tea in it has been consumed。此处的it指代的是cup。为了避免与前文重复，此处可用it来进行替代。

英语四级翻译：十二生肖

十二生肖(the twelve Chinese Zodiacs)是中国传统文化的重要组成部分，它们源于自然界的11种动物和一个民族图腾(totem)。十二生肖代表动物的性格特点各不相同。到了龙年或虎年，人们常说“生龙活虎”;马年人们会说“马到成功”;猪在中国人的眼里是“宝”的意思;牛是勤劳(diligence )的象征，这一点在鲁迅的诗句“俯首甘为孺子牛”中有着完美的体现。

参考翻译:

In Chinese eyes, pig is a “treasure”. Ox is a symbol of diligence, which iswell presented in the verse by Lu Xun一an outstanding writer in China, “head bowed, like awilling ox I serve the children”.

1.生龙活虎、马到成功:中国成语在翻译时可以先译为拼音，再进一步解释其内涵。“生龙活虎”即“精力充沛，活力四射”，可译为vim and vigor; “马到成功”即“快速获得成功”可译为gain an immediate success。

2.牛:生肖中的“牛”用ox来表达，而不用如cattle, cow,bull等其他表示“牛”的词。

3.俯首甘为孺子牛:可直译为Head bowed, like a willingox I serve the children;或者根据其表达的“愿意为弱小服务的精神”译为modesty combined with thespirit of willingly serving the young and weak。同时，译文要简略给出鲁迅的身份，以使译文内容更为周全。
