2019年12月英语四级翻译练习题库之交谈

翻译题目

在中国人们见面时喜欢问：“你去哪儿?”或“你吃了吗?”绝大

部分时候人们并非真正想知道你要去哪里或吃饭了没有。实际上那仅

仅一种打招呼的方式。与西方的风俗相似，当你与—个陌生人开始交

谈时，诸如天气、食物或爱好之类的话题可能是打破坚冰的不错选择。询问私人问题时理应慎重，但是聊些关于家乡、工作方面的话題则通

常能够使谈话顺利实行。

参考译文

In China, people like to ask "Where are you heading for?" or "Have you eaten yet?" when they meet each other. For most

of the time, they do not really want to know where you are going to or whether you have eaten or not. Actually, that is just a way to greet each other. Similar to western customs, when you start talking with a stranger, topics such as weather, food or hobby may be good choices to break the ice. You should be cautious when you ask private questions. But a chat about one's hometown or job can usually go on smoothly.

表达难点

1.在第2句中，“你要去哪里或吃饭了没有”作“并非真正想知道”的宾语，可将其处理成一个宾语从句，用陈述句语序表达，译作where you are going to or whether you have eaten or not.

2.在第3句中，“实际上”可译为actually或in fact。定语

“打招呼的”可处理为后置定语，用不定式短语to greet each other 来表达。

3.第4句的主语是“诸如……的话题”，翻译成英语时，以topics作为主语，定语“诸如天气、食物或爱好之类的”用such as……来列举，作补充说明。

4. 最后—句中的“询问私人问题时理应慎重”省略了主语，翻译时应补充主语you或one，译为You should be cautious when you ask private questions.“但是聊些关于……则……”如果译成But if you chat with people on topics such as……, it can make the chat go on smoothly则显得冗长拖沓;此处把主语“聊些关于家乡、工作方面的话题”译为名词短语a chat about one's hometown or job则能使译文简洁流畅。

旅游业是最近二十年来在世界各地迅速发展的一个经济部门，现在正引起中国公众愈来愈大的注意。许多人给报社写信，就促进中国的旅游业的发展提出了种种建议。人们的看法是，发展旅游业将有助于促进中国人民和其他国家人民之间的相互了解、增进友谊，并将有利于文化、科学、技术方面的交流。还会有助于为中国的伟大事业积累资金。 参考译文 Tourism,afastdevelopingeconomicsectoroverthelasttwodecadesinallpartsoftheworld,,,andfacilitateexchangesint hefieldofculture,,itwillhelpaccumulatefundsforChina'sgreatcause. 在中国，喝茶是一种仪式(ritual)，一种精致品味(refinedtaste)的展示。人们在饮茶的同时，也领略着(takedelightin)品茶的情趣之意。喝茶聊天是中国人中最流行的打发时间的方式。过去，他们是以进有名的茶馆(teahouse)而开始一天的生活的。中国的茶馆相当于法国的咖啡馆和英国的酒馆。人们到这里不仅是为了喝茶。也是为了议论当地的新闻或对政治话题进行激烈的(furious)争论。 参考译文 ,在中国，小学教育需要花费12年的时间来完成，分为小学、初中和高中三个阶段。小学教育持续5年或6年。在初中阶段，大多数学生上3年制初中，极少数上4年制。几乎98%的学生在前一种学校入学。在小学和初中的9年教育属于义务教育。普通高中教育持续3年时间，在整个义务教育阶段，学生要求在每学期未参加期末考试。 参考译文 InChina,primaryandsecondaryeducationtakes12yearstocomplete,dividedintoprimary,

英语四级段落翻译

英语四级改革段落翻译模拟 全球变暖 目前，全球变暖是一个热门话题，但是有关全球变暖的各项证据似乎还有些不同的声音。人们现在已经知道，地球的发展经历了很多周期(cycle),尽管在历史上还未出现过像今天这样的时代，即高工业化(industrialization)产生如此多的污染。全球变暖主要是由于二氧化碳气体(carbon dioxide)的增多。 Global warming is the hot topic around the world at this time but, there is also dissention about the evidence being presented to support the argument. The earth is known to go through cycles; although the past has never produced an age of so much industrialization causing the pollution currently being experienced. A major source of the problem is the increase in carbon dioxide levels. 月光族 中国经济的高速发展，带来了消费文化的曰益流行，同时也催生了一批具有高学历，充分享受资本主义消费模式的年轻人，他们习惯于当月工资当月花。因而被称为“月光族”（the moonlight group)。“月光族”一词出现于20世纪90年代后期，是用来讽刺那些出身富裕、接受高等教育、充分享受快餐文化(fast food culture)的年轻人。 The Moonlight Group China’s economy is developing very quickly, and has brou ght with it a culture of consumption more prevalent with each passing day. At the same time, it has brought into being an educated group of young people who enjoy capitalist consumption way.

1、上个世纪90年代以来，气候问题日渐被世人关注并演化成为一个全球政治议题。20年的气候谈判展现出气候政治博弈的复杂局面，利益主体的分化和博弈主题的扩展造成了气候政治合作这一全球性难题。在这样的背景下，我国应当做出如下战略选择加以应对：一是掌握主动，坚持低碳发展；二是积极应对，争取话语优势；三是广泛参与，改造游戏规则。 参考译文 Since the 1990's, climate problems have become a global concern as a topic on the world political agenda. Climate negotiations in the past 20 years have ended in a complicated situation of political game on climate, and the differentiation of the interest subjects and the extension of the theme of the game have become a global dilemma in the political cooperation on climate. Under such circumstances, China should respond with the following strategic choices: 1. taking the initiative in our own hands and sticking to low-carbon emission development; 2. making active responses and striving for a bigger say; and 3. taking an extensive participation, and trying to reform the game rule

大学英语四级新题型段落翻译模拟考试题11篇

大学英语四级翻译练习 第一篇农业 中国是一个农业大国，也是世界农业起源地之一。水稻rice和小麦wheat等农作物都原产自originate from/derive from中国。新中国成立后，政府十分重视农业生产，不断加大农业投入investment.input，加速了农业生产的现代化进程boost/strengthen/improve the process of agricultural modernization。因此，中国农业取得了辉煌的成就。中国各种农产品的产量增长很快，谷物、棉花cotton、花生(Peanut)的总产量均居世界首位rank the first in the world。依靠占世界不足10%的耕地(cultivatable land)，中国养活了世界1/5以上的人口。 1.第2句为无被动标识词的被动句，翻译时要用被动语态，可译作 Crops such as rice and wheat were first produced in China。 2.第3句中的动作“十分重视”、“不断加大”是“新中国成立后”持续发生的动作，故该句 用现在完成进行时态。仔细分析发现，“十分重视……，不断加大……”为两个并列的动作作谓语，而“加速了……”则表结果，可处理为结果状语，故本句译为 the government has been paying close attention to... and increasing... to speed up…。 3.第4句中的“中国农业取得了辉煌的成就”可理解为“中国在农业方面取得了成就”，故 可译为China has made great achievements 、progress in agriculture。该句也可用“辉煌的成就”作主语，用被动语态表达，译作great achievements have been made in China's agriculture。 4.翻译最后一句“依靠……，中国……”时，可将后半句处理成主句，前半句为状语， 用介词短语With less than ten parent of the world's cultivatable land来表达，使句子主次分明、结构简洁紧凑。 参考答案： China is a big agricultural country and also one of the world's agricultural origins. Crops such as rice and wheat were first produced in China. After the founding of New China, the government has been paying close attention to agriculture and increasing investment to speed up the modernization of agricultural production. Therefore, China has made great achievements in agriculture. The outputs of various agricultural products grow at a fast rate and the total output of grains, cotton and peanuts tops /rank the first in the world. With less than ten percent of the world's cultivatable land, China manages to feed over one-fifth of the world's population. 第二篇龙的形象 中国人一直以自己是龙的传人(descendent)为豪。这种情感在中国文化和社会的各个方面都有所体现。从远古时代起，龙就被看作是具有庇佑能力并能影响人们生活的动物。古代的皇帝被看作是“真龙天子”，象征着尊严和权力。在民间流传着许多关于龙的传说和故事。还有各种与龙相关的民俗活动，其中最受欢迎的就是赛龙舟(Dragon Boat Race)。 1.第3句中的定语“具有庇佑能力并能影响人们生活的”较长，可将其处理成后置定语，用介词短语来表达；“具有......能力并能......”可合译成 a power to...and...；“动物”译为creature(生物、创造物）比animal更确切，因为“龙”并不是真正存在。 2.第4句中“象征着尊严和权利”是对“真龙天子”的补充说明，可将其处理成同位语，译为 a symbol of dignity and power。 3.倒数第2句为无主语句，省略了主语“人们”，该主语不需要被强调说明，故此句可译为被动句式，即Many legends and stories... are spread...。“关于龙的”可处理成后置定语，用介词短语about dragon表达。“在民间”为状语，可译作among the people，置于句末。 4.最后一句中的“其中”一词表示赛龙舟属于前面提到的folk activities，故“其中……赛龙舟”可处理成非限制性定语从句，用 among which 来引导，译

2019年6月大学英语四级翻译练习题：北京大学

2019年6月大学英语四级翻译练习题库 英语四级翻译练习题：北京大学 北京大学于1898年成立，原名为京师大学堂(the ImperialUniversity of Peking)。该大学的成立标志着中国近代高等教育的开始。在中国近代，它是进步思想的中心，对中国新文化运动、五四运动及其他重要事件的发生颇有影响。今天，国内不少高校排行榜将北京大学放入国内顶尖大学之列。该校重视教学和科学研究。为提高本科生教育和研究生教育质量、保持其研究机构的地位，学校已做出很大努力。此外，学校尤以其校园环境及优美的中国传统建筑而闻名。 参考翻译: Originally known as the Imperial University ofPeking,Peking University was established in1898.The establishment of the University markedthe beginning of higher education in China's modernhistory.In modern history of China,it was a center forprogressive thought and was influential in the birth of China's New Culture Movement,theMay Fourth Movement and many other significant events.Today, Peking University was placedby many domestic university rankings amongst the top universities in China.The universitylays emphasis on both teaching,and scientific research.It has made great efforts to improvethe undergraduate and graduate education,and maintain its role as a leading researchinstitution.In addition,the University is especially renowned for its campus environmentand the beauty of its traditional Chinese architecture. 1.表示某事物的成立，需用被动语态;"原名京师大学堂"即最初的名字，可译为and its original name was...;也可与前面句子共用主语Peking University，译为was originallyknown as...，但这两种处理方法都不如将其处理为过去分词短语originally known as...来得简洁地道。 2.注意第二句中"中国近代史"的译法，"近代史"通常译为modern history。"现代史"则译为contemporaryhistory。"标志着...的开始"可以套用mark the beginning of...句型表达。注意，不要一看到"标志"就翻译为symbolize，该词一般指"某事物的象征意义"，用于此不合适。 3.第三句中的"对...的发生颇有影响"的中心词是"有影响"(was influential)，"对...的发生"表明产生影响的方面，用介词in。"发生"在此处强调的是状态，而不是动作，因此用in the birth of表达。
