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

2014年6月六级翻译真题答案及解析

卷一： 真题：中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化，有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。例如，土豪和大妈都是老词，但已获取了新的意义。 土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主，现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人，也就是说，土豪有钱，但是没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼，但是现在特指不久前金价大跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。 土豪和大妈可能会被收入新版的牛津(OXford)英语词典，至今约有120中文加进了牛津英语词典，成了英语语言的一部分。 参考答案： The Chinese heated words usually reflect social changes and culture, some o f which are increasingly popular with foreign media. Tuhao and dama, forexa mple, are both old words, but they get differentmeanings now. The word tuhao used to mean rural landlords who oppress their tenants and servants, while now it refers to people spending money withoutlimits or those showing off all around. That is to say, tuhao owns money rather than taste. T heword dama is used to describe middle-aged women. However, it is regarde d as a special wordto call those Chinese women who rushed to purchase gol d when th e gold price decreasedsharply not long ago. Tuhao and dama may be included in the new Oxford dictionary. Up to now, ab out 120 Chinesewords have been added to it, becoming a part of English lang uage. 卷二： 最近中国科学院(Chinese Academy of Science )出版了关于其最新科学发现与未来一 年展望的年度系列报告。系列报告包括三部分：科学发展报告，高技术发展报告，中国可持续战略报告。第一份报告包含中国科学家的最新发现，诸如新粒子研究与H7N9病毒研究的突破。该报告还突出强调了未来几年需要关注的问题。第二份报告公布了一些应用科学研究的热门领域，如3D打印和人造器官研究。第三份报告呼吁加强顶层设计，以消除工业升级中的结构性障碍，并促进节能减排。 Chinese Academy of Science recently published an annual report about its latest scientific findings and the prospect of the next year. The report consists of three parts: science development, more advanced technology development and the sustainable strategy of China. The first one includes the latest findings of Chinese scientists, such as the research of new particle and the breakthrough in the study of H7N9 virus. Furthermore, it highlights some problems we need to focus in next few years. The second one announces some heated fields in applied science. For example, the 3-dimension print and the study of human organs. The third one suggests people enhance the top design in order to get rid of the structural obstacles in industrial upgrading and to promote the energy-saving and emission-reduction. 卷三： 北京计划未来三年投资7600亿元治理污染，从减少pm2.5排放入手。这一新公布的计划

四川大学翻译硕士考研三战复试经验

四川大学翻译硕士考研三战复试经验 各位考研的同学们，大家好！我是才思的一名学员，现在已经顺利的考上研究生，今天和大家分享一下这个专业的真题，方便大家准备考研，希望给大家一定的帮助。 【三年凯旋最终回】 MTI的复试分为三部分，分别是笔试作文，听力，面试。 一、笔试作文 笔试作文是英语议论文。 英文议论文比较老火，当时主要是看chinadaily的opinion。 写都是以大量输入为前提的，看多了，积累多了，也不会无从下笔。读书破万卷，下笔如有神。 题目：讨论香港限制大陆公民买奶粉。 题目自拟。 二、听力 听力是新闻听力。 复习建议： 新闻听力因为有一直听的习惯，只需保持。 1~10短新闻，BBC，cnn，voa 10-20填空cnn summary:cctvnews 三、面试 面试是视译和抽题。 视译和抽题问答环节：我在准备复试的时候，针对自己口语差， 想法请了川外英语口译专业的同学辅导，花了钱也花了功夫。 题目是关于“翻译是背叛（traitor）”的议题（英文面试）， 这个问题恰好在平时练习中和口译专业的那个同学讨论过，所以举了例子，回答还算满意。

另外我初试第十名，复试后是第七名。 四、复试的相关注意事项 关于初试复试住宿的问题能跟大家说说你的情况么？ 初试的时候最好提前很久就订好，复试不会像初试那么挤，网上查，打电话就可以订。 有没有联系学长学姐这样？ 有，通过人人网一个个搜索已经录取的师兄师姐，遇到一个很善良的师姐，帮了我很多忙。 那复试导师需不需要联系，复试交通情况怎么样？ 联系了的，自己邮件、电话联系，但导师都会很委婉，让你认真备考。交通很便利，我住学校附近。【小Z眼中的三年翻硕考研路】 就你知道的四川大学翻译硕士的情况跟大家说说嘿？ 想了一下，还真不好回答。川大录取过线进复试，刷人主要刷笔译，因为口译可以调剂到笔译； 题量大，初复试都比较难（相较川外、重大，重大是我在川大复试后争取到的复试）； 三年制，可以利用在学校的时间，把专业知识打牢。 我在复试时，是一手准备川大的复试，一手准备调剂，因为当时超比分数线3分。 主要是通过网上和师姐来了解。有目标导师的话，建议下载他的论文来看。这样才能知己知彼。 你有说到你在精神上比较能激励大家，传递一下正能量吧~ 其实复习得大部分日子比较枯燥，平静，需要的不是打鸡血，而是静下心来坚持。 你越想要一样东西，你就会想尽方法，用光力气。 在没有用光所有力气前不要放弃，只要能坚持前一天就告诉自己再坚持一天。 考研的这段时间有没有什么感概？ 考研让我孤独、压抑，让我释放自己的激情，让我成长，让我觉得没有毫无挣扎就放走青春， 经历了这些，再回到校园，会更珍惜时光。 因为考研也是一种囚禁，你被关在屋子里很久就渴望到外面去， 所以现在很想去外面走走看看——去旅行。 在复习上大部分时间是孤独的，除了在学校复习得日子。 许多人都对现状不满，我只是很实际的去改变而已。每天做一点，每天坚持，三年的“长跑”。

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.

2014年12月六级第一套 翻译真题及解析

2014.12.1st 反应在艺术和文学中的乡村生活理想是中国文明的重要特征。这在很大程度上归功于道家对自然地感情。传统中国画有两个最受青睐的主题，一是家庭生活的各种幸福场景，画中往往有老人在下棋饮茶，男人在耕耘收割，妇女在织布缝衣，小孩在户外玩耍。另一个则是乡村生活的种种乐趣，画有渔夫在湖上打渔，农夫在山上砍柴采药，或是书生坐在松树下吟诗作画。这两个主题可以分别代表儒家和道家的生活理想。 Rural life ideals reflected in Chinese arts and literature is an important feature of Chinese civilization. This is largely attributed to feelings of Taoism to the nature. There are two most popular themes in traditional Chinese paintings. One is various scenes of happy family life with the elderly drinking teas and playing chess, men plowing and harvesting, women sewing and weaving, or children playing outdoors. The other is a variety of fun in rural life with a fisherman fishing on the lake, farmers cutting firewood or collecting medicinal herbs, scholars reciting poems or painting pictures under a pine tree. These two themes represent separately Confucian and Taoist ideal life.

2015年考研英语一翻译真题解析

2015年考研英语一翻译真题解析 一、来源：今年的文章来源于An outline of American history(1954)(《美国历史纲要(1954年英文版)》)，是其中一章The Colonial Period(殖民时期)的节选。这个符合历年来翻译的考查规律，往往都是从书籍中节选段落进行翻译，内容相对于阅读而言，相对于2014年“贝多芬”而言，有些难懂。 二、难度：5句话共151词，相当平稳。其中48题最长，35词;50题最简单，24词。可以说，不同基础的同学都可以从中找到自己熟悉的部分，不至于在这个题上一分未得。 三、句型特点：今年的5句话中，有2句(46，48)是简单句，另外3句(47，49，50)是复合句。其中的复合句无一例外都考查的是定语从句的翻译，并没有涉及到其他从句类型。简单句中考查最多的也是后置定语的翻译。所以，中公考研考前为大家预测的难点中，定语的翻译是绝对考点和重点。 四、逐题详解： 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 重点词组：out of a wilderness(摆脱荒凉)，by its nature(就其本质而言，从本质来说)，uncharted(未知的;图上未标明的)。 结构分析：整个句子是一个简单句，由and并列谓语动词built和shaped。driven by powerful and diverse motivations是后置定语，修饰movement;out of a wilderness是后置定语，修饰nation;of an uncharted continent是后置定语，修饰character and destiny。 参考译文：这项运动，由多种强大的动机驱动，建立了一个摆脱荒凉的国家，并且从本质上来讲，塑造了一块不为人熟悉的大陆的性格和命运。 47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. 重点词组：product(产物)，principal(主要的;首要的)，peoples(民族)，impact(影响) 结构分析：句子的主干是The United States is the product of two principal forces，破折号解释说明forces。of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics是后置定语，修饰immigration;of a new country which modified these traits是后置定语，修饰impact，其中包含一个定语从句which modified these traits，修饰country。 参考译文：美国是两股主要力量的产物——带有不同思想、风俗习惯和国家特征的欧洲民族的移民，和修改这些特征的新兴国家的影响。 48) But the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the carried national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. 重点词组：peculiar(特有的，独特的)，interplay(互相影响)，sheer(独特的) 结构分析：整个句子是简单句，主语由三个名词短语用and并列承担，谓宾部分比较短小caused significant changes。主语1中，of geographic conditions peculiar to America是后置

2021南京大学翻译硕士考研参考书真题经验

南京大学考研 ——翻译硕士

考研经验对于备考考生来说含金量很高，优秀的经验能让你少走许多弯路，提前知晓考试重点、注意事项、如何备考。在忙碌备考之余，停下来阅读借鉴前辈的考研经验，从中学习并运用到自己的复习进程中，会让考研复习效率大大提高。 距最终成绩出来已经过去几个月了，当时看到自己名字在复试通过名单上时，内心十分激动，兴奋，终于可以到梦想中的城市读研究生。这一年甚至是两年来的心血终于有了回报。 大四那年考研考了南航，但没考上，二战换成了南京大学，专四专八都是良好。选择南京大学，一是因为想去南京读书，二是因为想去一个好的985。一战失利让我想了很多。我性格偏内向，书面比口语好，一战失败也是因为自己努力不够，总是偷懒。南航有风险因为每年招收的人很少，只有3,4个（每年情况不一但都不会很多），于是只有分数十分高的人才能进入复试。因此择校也要考虑个人的学习基础和基本情况。南京大学算是我综合了自己的性格特点，个人偏好，名校情结而选择的最终目标。其实一开始也会很犯嘀咕，觉得这么好的学校自己到底行不行，能不能考得上，但是后来一想，既然英语笔译每年都会招人，那为什么不是自己呢？为什么不试一试呢，只有试过之后才有资格评判。 今年备考期间报考了CATTI三级，实务59综合72，哎差一分就过了。想着自己准备了快大半年的翻译应该可以过CATTI，但是实际上没有，感觉老师们改卷还是很严的。考试不容易过。我从7月中旬开始准备，之前几个月都在工作，复习期间一直在家里，因为家里环境安静，父母白天上班晚上才回，因此白天的时间都可以由我自己支配。二战的人要想好自己的学习地点，可能因为我自制力较好，在家也能看进去书，而且看的很仔细。 思想政治理论 这一科目我感觉就是多做题多看书，跟着肖秀荣大大走。8月初开始看知识点精讲精练和《政治新时器》，搭配做1000题，马原增强理解，思修、史纲、毛中特理解加背诵结合。由于是第二次考研，如果时间够的话还是推荐大家从10月份就开始背。后来就是11月肖八，12月肖四，1000题最少得过个两遍三遍，知识点才能牢固。后面12的时候背诵压力会很大，建议背诵趁早。不用担心背了会忘得问题，背过之后多复习多回忆就不会忘。

wife, I amfree.” This is a prevalent misconception in many people'sminds---that love, like merchandise, can be “stolen”。Numerous states, in fact,have enacted laws allowing damages for “alienation of affections”。 But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought,sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, achange in the climate of the personality. When a husband or wife is “stolen” by another person, thathusband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, was already predisposedtoward a new partner. The “love bandit” was only taking what was waiting to betaken, what wanted to be taken. We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of thechildren “belonging” to their parents. But nobody “belongs” to anyone else. Eachperson belongs to himself, and to God. Chil dren are entrusted to their parents,and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has a right toremove them from their parents' trusteeship. Most of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheartbeing taken from us by somebody more attractive and more appealing. At thetime, we may have resented this intruder---but as we grew older, we recognizedthat the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruderthat “caused” the break, but the lack of a real relationship. On the s urface, many marriages seem to break up because of a“third party”. This is, however, a psychological illusion. Theother woman orthe other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving or a marriage that hadalready lost its essential integrity. Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than thebitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has “comebetween” oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of reality, forpeople are not the captives or victims of others---they are free agents,working out their own destinies for good or for ill. But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe thathis beloved has freely turned away from him--- and so he ascribes sinister ormagical properties to the interloper. He calls him a hypnotist or a thief or ahome-breaker. In the vast majority of cases, however, when a home is broken,the breaking has begun long before any “third party” has appeared on the scene. 关于凯程： 凯程考研成立于2005年，国内首家全日制集训机构考研，一直致力于高端全日制辅导，由李海洋教授、张鑫教授、卢营教授、王洋教授、杨武金教授、张释然教授、索玉柱教授、方浩教授等一批高级考研教研队伍组成，为学员全程高质量授课、答疑、测试、督导、报考指导、方法指导、联系导师、复试等全方位的考研服务。 凯程考研的宗旨：让学习成为一种习惯 凯程考研的价值观口号：凯旋归来，前程万里 信念：让每个学员都有好最好的归宿 使命：完善全新的教育模式，做中国最专业的考研辅导机构 激情：永不言弃，乐观向上 敬业：以专业的态度做非凡的事业 平衡：找到工作、生活、家庭的平衡点 服务：以学员的前途为已任，为学员提供高效、专业的服务，团队合作,为学员服务，为学
