第一节考试内容介绍、定语从句讲解、练习及译法

第一部分考试介绍

一、考试题型

词汇和语法部分 50题 25分 25分钟

阅读理解 50题 55分 75分钟

完型填空 20题 20分 20分钟

二、考试要求

掌握本大纲要的英语词汇;掌握并能够正确运用双语语法;具备对常用问题英语文章的阅读理解能力。

三、笔译综合能力试题的基本类型

第一部分词汇和语法部分可分为三大部分:词汇选择(Vocabulary and Grammar)1-20难度大约在四级左右;词语替代(Vocabulary Selection)21-40主要找出和划横线部分相同意思的词汇,难度在4级到6级之间;改错(Error Correction)主要有词汇和语法的两种错误。

第一部分考察的内容主要为近义词的辨析、短语介词和动词词组的搭配;语法点主要包括定语从句、状语从句、名词性从句、虚拟语气、非谓语动词等等。在其后会分专题来讲解。

第二部分阅读理解共5篇,字数在每篇150-450字之间,绝大多数在250字左右,每篇有5到10题,不定量。题材广泛,选题多样。类似于四级以上难度和题型,但是和专业四级题型更加相似。

第三部分为开放性完型填空,20空,共20分。题材广泛,选题多样。难度和专业四级等同。

四、基本复习策略

综合能力课程作为三级笔译必修的课程,主要是考察学生对于英语基本知识的了解,特别是对双语习惯的掌握,为了能够更好地为实务课程打下坚实的基础,所以希望每一位同学都不要对这门课程产生掉以轻心的念头。根据个人经验,我个人推荐以下几个复习的策略:

第一、要对大纲的词汇做到十分熟悉,这种熟悉不是简单地认识,而是要学会使用,特别是在没有字典的帮助之下可以迅速而准确地判断搭配。

第二、对于语法结构的重视,但凡是学翻译就必须要对语法结构有着深入的了解,这种了解不是简单地会划分句子成分,而是将每个句子如何组合,这将决定你实务中的句型翻译的关键。

第三,阅读能力要强。任何考试都是得阅读者得天下,咱们的综合能力考试也不除外。包括实务考试,如果文章内容没有弄明白,那么对文章的翻译肯定是不行的。

以上三点经验之谈,仅供参考。

第二部分定语从句的讲解、练习及译法

1.that和which用法比较:

1) which用于非限定性定语从句中。

e.g.: He said he was busy, which was not true.

他说他很忙,那是假的。

We don’t want to enter the house, which is very cold.

我们不想进房间,因为太冷了。

2) which用于介词后做宾语。

e.g.: The room of which windows are opposite to the room is large.

窗户正对着海的房间很大。

The chair in which you are sitting is made of iron.

你坐的椅子是用钢做的。

3) that一定用于“不(不定代词作先行词时)止(“只是”only修饰先行词时)最(形容词最高级修饰先行词时)两(先行词同时出现人和物)序(序数词修饰先行词时)”五种情况。e.g.: All that you need is help. 你所需要的是帮助。

A lot of things and children that are full of the car were lost in the district.

装满了车的东西和孩子们在这个地区失踪了。

That is only thing that I want to know.

那是我唯一想知道的事情。

The last book that you bought is that I wanted to buy.

你买的最后一本书是我想买的。

What is the size of the largest map that you have seen before?

你以前见过的最大的尺寸的地图有多大?

2.定语从句的种类

定语从句可分为非限定性定语从句(描绘性定语从句)和限定性定语从句。

e.g.: They don’t like that person who is noisy.

他们不喜欢那个吵闹的人。

*非限定性定语从句(描绘性定语从句)和先行词关系紧密,不可省略。

e.g.: They don’t like that person, who is noisy.

他们不喜欢那个人,因为他太吵闹了。

*限定性定语从句和先行词关系疏松,用逗号和主句隔开,可以省略。它翻译时,相当于一个状语从句。

译法:

1.定语从句的前置合译法:

On the whole, such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence, but only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the others with whom he is being compared, and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they possessed.

译文:总的来说,得出这种结论是有一定程度把握的,但是必须具备两个条件:能够假定这

个孩子对测试的态度和与他比较的另一些孩子的态度相同;他也没有因为缺乏别的孩子已掌

握的有关知识而被扣分。

2.定语从句的前置合译法与后置分译法:

Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate response will experience greater intellectual development.

译文:行为主义者认为, 如果儿童的成长环境里有许多刺激因素, 这些因素又有利于其适当反

应能力的发展, 那么, 儿童的智力就会发展到较高的水平。

The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought, which took roots in Europe long before people realized how diverse languages could be. 译文:希腊人认为,语言结构与思维能力过程之间存在着某种联系。这一观点在人们尚未认

识到语言的千差万别以前就早已在欧洲扎下了根。

3.定语从句的溶合变译法;

This assumption rests on the fallacy of the inherent laziness in human nature; actually, aside from abnormally lazy people, there would be very few who would not want to earn more than the minimum, and who would prefer to do nothing rather than work.(48 words)

译文:这种假设是依据这样的一种谬论:人的本性中存在天生的惰性。而实际上,除了特别

懒惰的人以外,几乎没有人愿意挣只相当于最低生活维持费的钱,也没有人愿意饱食终日、

无所事事。

定语从句翻译练习:

1.Prior to the twentieth century, women in novels were stereotypes of lacking any features that made them unique individuals and were also subject to numerous restrictions imposed by the male-dominated culture.

第二部分定语从句长难句成分分析及翻译练习

5. Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allow one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers an endless series of programs which are both instructive and entertaining.

6. Taking his cue from Ibsen`s A Doll`s House, in which the heroine, Nora, leaves home because she resents her husband’s treati ng her like a child, the writer Lu Xun warned that Nora would need money to support herself; she must have economic rights to survive.

第三部分阅读理解的基本理念(见PPT)

第三节非谓语动词,练习及其译法,阅读理解讲解及练习

第一部分阅读理解题目

练习:

When my first child was born, my mother-in-law said to me: ‘Motherhood is a wonderful just as long as you remember that A Mother’s Place is in the Wrong. No matter what you do, your children will blame you.’

Sine that time, almost nine years ago, I have carefully monitored mothers and their growing offspring to verify this maxim, and found that indeed it contains much truth.

If, on the other hand, a mother sends her little lamb to the local neighborhood school, the little lamb will grumble tears later that his parents did not give a fig for education and that is why he was illiterate and on the dole.

If a woman has a job, her children will speak mournfully of the experience of being latch-key kids who never knew what it was to come home to the joy and security of mum baking bread in the kitchen.

If she considers it to e best to end the marriage, they will accuse her of causing them ‘parental deprivation syndrome’ and obligation them to grow up in ‘a one-parent situation’.

Truly, a mother’s place is in the wrong place---and, yea, it goes on even unto the third generation. When your children encounter trouble or difficulties as adults, in their own marriages or in their personalities, whom do you blame? You’ve got it in one: Mother.

1. Having thought about her mother-in-law advice, the author _________________.

A was inclined to doubt the advice

B interviewed women whose children had grown up

C decided to put the advice to the test

D asked adults about their children

2. The passage suggests that the local schools ___________________.

A make children feel insecurity

B have a poor educational record

C allow children too much freedom

D are for the children of ‘suburban cabbages’

3. According to the passage, a woman who divorces her husband will ____________________.

A be backed by her children

B be blamed by her children

C usually blame her husband

D soon lose the children’s affection

4. It can be concluded from the passage that mothers _________________.

A are willing to take the blame

B are blamed unfairly

C can not be blameless

D cannot avoid blame

The worldwide consumption of bakery food products is increasing. Many populations that formerly relied solely on rice or coarser grains as their main source of carbohydrates show a preference for compounded bakery products as new industry and increased incomes make them more widely accessible. Japan is an outstanding example of countries following this trend. The United States has shown a steady downward trend in per capita consumption of cereal-based foods for many years, and the consumption of sweet bakery foods, such as cakes or pastry, has been increasingly displacing bread consumption.

Probably 95% of the white bread sold in the United States is enriched with thiamine, niacin, and iron, and about 30 of the states have laws requiring white bread enrichment. Formerly, calcium and vitamin D were frequently added to enriched bread, but lack of consumer demand and questionable nutritional benefit led to gradual phasing out of these enrichments. India has attempted to encourage consumption of protein-enriched bread, with some success. Except for research projects, little has been done in other countries, however. In areas where bakery products comprise a large proportion of the diet, they could provide an ideal vehicle for nutritional supplementation. The need for better quality in the daily diet occurs mostly in the developing counties, where carbohydrates foods --- usually cereals --- are the basic components of the diet and therefore the logical protein carriers.

1.Japan is used in this passage t illustrate a fashion in many countries ___________.

A to enrich bread

B to invest more in food industry

C to increase consumption of bakery foods

D to increase a reliance on rice and grains

2. Because of little demand and questionable value ____________.

A calcium and vitamin D are no longer added to bread

B cereal-based foods are being replaced by bakery products

C rice and coarser grains being replaced by bakery products

D little has been done to encourage consumption of enriched bread

3. According to the passage, popular cereals could be the best way in developing countries to ___.

A supplement the diet

B displace rice consumption

C increase reliance on carbohydrates

D phase out necessary bread enrichments

4. From the passage, we learn that there is a worldwide trend towards _____________.

A enriching the nutritional value of bread

B increasing the consumption of protein

C using bakery products as a source of carbohydrates

D using grains, such as rice, as a source of carbohydrates

Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiledunderground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that windstoward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with theslogan “Coal =Jobs.” 犹他州东部有一个矿产丰富的小镇,那里的人们祖祖辈辈都以采煤为生。一提起在地下辛苦采煤时的情景,每个家庭总是倍感骄傲。街道两旁的煤炭供应公司一个挨着一个。在通往矿井的蜿蜒小路上方的广告牌上,一个满脸炭灰的矿工凝视着远方,旁边的标语写着“煤炭=工作”。 Butrecently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant,tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricterfederal pollution regulations. 但是最近,小镇的人们心里充满了恐惧。联邦政府新颁布了一套更为严格的污染管理条例,这使得小镇附近峡谷之中的一家美国最古老的燃煤电厂频临倒闭。 As energy companies tack away from coal, toward cleaner, cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slip away. Dozens of workers at the facility here, the Carbon Power Plant, have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs.

All Luciano Faggiano wanted when he purchased the seemingly unremarkable building at 56 Via Ascanio Grandi, was to open a restaurant. The only problem was the toilet. Sewage kept backing up. So Mr. Faggiano enlisted his two older sons to help him dig a trench and investigate. He predicted the job would take about a week. “We found underground corridors and other rooms, so we kept digging,”said Mr. Faggiano, 60. His search for a sewage pipe, which began in 2000, became one family’s tale of discovery. Lecce was once a critical crossroads in the Mediterranean. Severo Martini, a member of the City Council, said archaeological relics turn up on a regular basis —and can present a headache for urban planning.

2018-11 【英译中】【Passage 1】 New drone footage gives a glimpse of the damage that Hawaii’s Big Island sustained in the wake of volcanic explosions in recent days. Smoke can be seen billowing off the lava as it creeps down roads and through wooded areas toward homes. Fires are visible with terrifying streams of brightness breaking through the surrounding areas of black. After a day of relative calm, Kilauea roared back in full force on Sunday,spewing lava 300 feet in the air, encroaching on a half mile of new ground and bringing the total number of destroyed structures to 35. 从无人机拍摄到的最新视频中,可以大概了解到近日火山喷发后,夏威夷大岛所遭受的损失情况。火山岩浆在道路上、树林里蔓延,直逼住家,岩浆所到处浓烟滚滚。在一片漆黑中可见多处大火,火光十分刺眼。基拉韦厄火山经过相对平静的一天后,周日又火力全开,将岩浆喷到300英尺高空,又侵蚀了半英里土地,共有35处建筑遭摧毁。 There have been 1,800 residents evacuated from their neighborhoods where cracks have been opening and spilling lava. In evacuated areas with relatively low sulfur dioxide levels, residents were allowed to return home for a few hours to collect belongings on Sunday and Monday. Officials said those residents – a little more than half of the evacuees — were allowed to return briefly, and they would continue to allow residents in if it could be done safely. 由于地面开裂、岩浆涌出,1800社区居民被疏散。周六周日,在二氧化硫浓度不高的被疏散区域,居民获准回家几个小时收拾家中物品。当地官员称,这些居民——约占被疏散居民总数的半数多些——被准许回家短暂停留,并且在保证安全的前提下,允许其他居民回家。 “Things got pretty active,” an official said at a Saturday press conference. “The eight volcanoes were pretty active, to the point where lava was spewing and the flow started spreading so we got additional damage out there. I’m not sure what the count is, but we thought it was just continuing to go. Fortunately, seismicity has laid down and the volcanoes have gone quiet now.” But officials had cautioned that while the lava flow was quiet, it wouldn’t be for long. “More volcano es could open up, the existing ones could get active again.” There’s a lot of lava under the ground so eventually it’s going to come up.” “这些火山变的很活跃,”一位官员在周六举行的新闻发布会上称,“有八个火山变的很活跃,岩浆喷出后,四处扩散,因此我们那里损失又多了些。我现在还不了解损失总数,但我们认为这个数字仍在不断攀升。庆幸地是,现在地震强度已经减弱,火山也开始平息下来了。”但是官员警告称,虽然岩浆流动慢下来了,

2006年5月英语CATTI三级《笔译实务》真题 试题部分: Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) (60 points) Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120 minutes. Freed by warming, waters once locked beneath ice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle. In Bykovsky, a village of 457 on Russia's northeast coast, the shoreline is collapsing, creeping closer and closer to houses and tanks of heating oil, at a rate of 15 to 18 feet a year. "It is practically all ice - permafrost - and it is thawing." For the four million people who live north of the Arctic Circle, a changing climate presents new opportunities. But it also threatens their environment, their homes and, for those whose traditions rely on the ice-bound wilderness, the preservation of their culture. A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries its own rewards and dangers for people in the region. The discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry. Coastal erosion is a problem in Alaska as well, forcing the United States to prepare to relocate several Inuit villages at a projected cost of $100 million or more for each one. Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with traditions shaped by centuries of living in extremes of cold and ice are noticing changes in weather and wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding. In Finnmark, Norway's northernmost province, the Arctic landscape unfolds in late winter as an endless snowy plateau, silent but for the cries of the reindeer and the occasional whine of a snowmobile herding them. A changing Arctic is felt there, too. "The reindeer are becoming unhappy," said Issat Eira, a 31-year-old reindeer herder. Few countries rival Norway when it comes to protecting the environment and preserving indigenous customs. The state has lavished its oil wealth on the region, and Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance. And yet no amount of government support can convince Mr. Eira that his livelihood, intractably entwined with the reindeer, is not about to change. Like a Texas cattleman, he keeps the size of his herd secret. But he said warmer temperatures in fall and spring were melting the top layers of snow, which then refreeze as ice, making it harder for his reindeer to dig through to the lichen they eat. "The people who are making the decisions, they are living in the south and they are living in towns," said Mr. Eira, sitting inside his home made of reindeer hides. "They don't mark the change of weather. It is only people who live in nature and get resources from nature who mark it." Section 2: Chinese-English Translation(汉译英) (40 points) Translate the following passage into English. The time for this section is 60 minutes. 维护世界和平,促进共同发展,谋求合作共赢,是各国人民的共同愿望,也是不可抗拒的当今时代潮流。中国高举和平、发展、合作的旗帜,坚持走和平发展道路,与世界各国一道,共同致力于建设一个持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界。 中国与世界从未像今天这样紧密相连。中国政府把中国人民的根本利益与各国人民的共同利益结合起来,坚持奉行防御性的国防政策。中国的国防服从和服务于国家发展战略和安全战略,旨在维护国家安全统一,确保实现全面建设小康社会的宏伟目标。中国永远是维护世界和平、安全、稳定的坚定力量。 中国在经济不断发展的基础上推进国防和军队现代化,是适应世界新军事变革发展趋势、维护国家安全和发展利益的需要。中国不会与任何国家进行军备竞赛,不会对任何国家构成军事威胁。新世纪新阶段,中国把科学发展观作为国防和军队建设的重要指导方针,积极推进中国特色军事变革,努力实现国防和军队建设全面协调可持续发展。

Section1: English-Chinese Translation(英译汉)(50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 100 minutes. PALOS DE LA FRONTERA, Spain — Back home in Gambia, Amadou Jallow was, at 22, a lover of reggae who had just finished college and had landed a job teaching science in a high school. But Europe beckoned. In his West African homeland, Mr. Jall ow?s salary was the equivalent of just 50 euros a month, barely enough for the necessities, he said. And everywhere in his neighborhood in Serekunda, Gambia?s largest city, there was talk of easy money to be made in Europe. Now he laughs bitterly about all that talk. He lives in a patch of woods here in southern Spain, just outside the village of Palos de la Frontera, with hundreds of other immigrants. They have built their homes out of plastic sheeting and cardboard, unsure if the water they drink from an open pipe is safe. After six years on the continent, Mr. Jallow is rail thin, and his eyes have a yellow tinge. “We are not bush people,” he said recently as he gathered twigs to start a fire. “You think you are civilized. But this is how we live here. We suffer here.” The political upheaval in Libya and elsewhere in North Africa has opened the way for thousands of new migrants to make their way to Europe across the Mediterranean. Already some 25,000 have reached the island of Lampedusa, Italy, and hundreds more have arrived at Malta. The boats, at first, brought mostly Tunisians. But lately there have been more sub-Saharans. Experts say thousands more — many of whom have been moving around North Africa trying to get to Europe for years, including Somalis, Eritreans, Senegalese and Nigerians — are likely to follow, sure that a better life awaits them. But for Mr. Jallow and for many others who arrived before them, often after days at sea without food or water, Europe has offered hardships they never imagined. These days Mr. Jallow survives on two meals a day, mostly a leaden paste made from flour and oil, which he stirs with a branch. “It keeps the hunger away,” he said. The authorities estimate that there are perhaps 10,000 immigrants living in the woods in the southern Spanish province of Andalusia, a region known for its crops of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and there are thousands more migrants in areas that produce olives, oranges and vegetables. Most of them have stories that echo Mr. Jal low?s. From the road, their encampments look like igloos tucked among the trees. Up close, the squalor is clear. Piles of garbage and flies are everywhere. Old clothes, stiff from dirt and rain, hang from branches. “There is everything in there,” said Diego Ca?amero, the leader of the farm workers? union in Andalusia, which tries to advocate for the men. “You have rats and snakes and mice and fleas.” The men in the woods do not call home with the truth, though. They send pictures of themselves posing next to Mercedes cars parked on the street, the kind of pictures that Mr. Jallow says he fell for so many years ago. Now he shakes his head toward his neighbors, who will not talk to reporters. “So many lies,” he said. “It is terrible what they are doing. But they are embarrassed.”

2015-2016年CATTI三级笔译实务真题和答案(4套)

2015 年5月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷 Section1 For generations, coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretch of eastern Utah. Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiled underground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that winds toward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with the slogan “Coal = Jobs.” 对这个地处犹他州东部、矿产丰富的地区而言,煤炭在过去几代人的眼里一直都是这个地区的生命线/经济命脉。每当回忆起作为矿工在地下采煤的岁月时,每个家庭都会感到无比自豪。大街的煤炭供应公司栉比鳞次/鳞次栉比。在蜿蜒通向矿区的马路上方,可见一处广告牌,上面除了有句“煤炭=工作”的口号,还有位满身烟灰的矿工正凝视着前方。 But recently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant, tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricter federal pollution regulations. 但是最近,人们开始担忧起来。由于新的联邦污染防治法规更加严格,位于县郊(译者注:根据本文倒数第二段该地区实为卡本县,这里的town指的就是卡本县,所以此处译为县郊。)峡谷之中的犹他州历史最久的燃煤电厂即将关闭。 As energy companies tack away from coal, toward cleaner, cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slip away. Dozens of workers at the facility here, the Carbon Power Plant, have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs. Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere. 由于能源公司摒弃煤炭转而发展更加清洁、更加廉价的天然气,这里的人们越来越担心他们的家园可能很快就会悄然消失/不复存在。卡本电厂(Carbon Power Plant)的几十号工人已得知,他们必须提前退休或另谋职业。当地的卡车运输和装备人员正准备到其他地方去发展业务。“There are a lot of people worried,” said Kyle Davis, who has been employed at the plant since he was 18. Mr. Davis, 56, worked his way up from sweeping floors to managing operations at the plant, w hose furnaces have been burning since 1954. “I would have liked to be here for another five years,” he said. “I’m too young to retire.” 凯尔·戴维斯(Kyle Davis)自18岁起就一直在这家电厂工作,他说:“许多人现在都忧心忡忡。”该公司自1954年成立以来,运转至今,从未间断。现年56岁的戴维斯先生在该公司从清扫工人一路做到负责公司运营的高管职位。他说道:“我本想在公司再干五年的,毕竟现在退休还太年轻。” But Rocky Mountain Power, the utility that operates the plant, has determined that it would be too expensive to retrofit the aging plant to meet new federal standards on mercury emissions. The plant is scheduled to be shut by Ap ril 2015.“We had been working for the better part of three years, testing compliance strategies,” said David Eskelsen, a spokesman for the utility. “None of the ones we investigated really would produce the results that would meet the requirements.” 但是目前负责运营卡本电厂的落基山电力公司(Rocky Mountain Power)已决定,如果为了达到有关汞排放量的新联邦标准而对该电厂的老旧设备进行翻新改造,代价过高,并不可行。该电
