大学英语四六级翻译题举例及解析.doc

翻译策略1)分句法把原文中一个单词或短语译成句子，使原文的一个句子分译成两个或两个以上的句子。或干脆把原文的一个句子拆开，译成两个或两个以上的句子。例1八月中旬，修理组人员在骄阳下工作。译文: It was in mid-August,and the repair section operatedunder the blazing sun.（一个单句拆分成了一个并列复合句）例2 他为人单纯而坦率。来源：考试大译文: He was a simple man.His mind was open. (一个单句拆分成两个简单句了)例3 The mother might have spoken withunderstandable pride of her child. 译文:母亲谈到她的孩子时，也许有自豪感，这是可以理解的。（形容词被拆开）例4 I wrote four books in the first threeyears,a record never touched before.译文:我头三年写了四本书，打破了以往的记录。（名词短语拆开）2)合句法把原文中两个或以上的简单句，主从复合句或并列复合句等译成一个单句。例5她已试了好几次，要帮他们另找一所出租的房子，结果并未成功。译文:She had made several attempts to help themfind other rental quarters without success.（多个简单句合成一个单句）例6他们有遵守交通规则，机器出了故障。译文：His failure to observe the safety regulations resultedin an accident to the machinery.（并列复合句合成一个单句）例7 When we praise the Chineseleadership and the people, we are not merely beingpolite.译文：我们对中国领导人和中国人民的赞扬不仅仅是出于礼貌。（主从复合句合成一个单句）Exercise 1来源：考试大的美女编辑们1._（通过体育锻炼），we can always stay healthy.2.According to the scientific research,_ （听音乐能使我们放松）.Is this really true?3._（我们绝对不能）ignore the value of knowledge.4.As is known to all, _（假冒伪劣商品）harm the interests of consumers.5.Faced with failure,some people canstand up to it, _ （从失败中汲取教训）and try hard to fulfill what they aredetermined to do.如果觉得题量少可以向我提议啊XD1. By takingexercises解析：通过锻炼，我们可以保持健康。其实这题答案不止一个。“锻炼”可以用名词也可以用动词短语。“通过”可以用by表示方式，through表示途径。Bytaking exercises /Through exercises。往往by用于“by + doing”，而through后接名词哦。2.listening to music enables us to feelrelaxed解析：“听音乐”在句中作主语，“听”应当处理成动名词形式。“能使我们放松”很多同学会采用 can make us feelrelaxed的结构。其实，enable就有“能够使某人”的含义，注意enable sb. to do 的表达。3. On no accountcan we解析：本题是强调语气，强调“决不能”，所以联想到on no account,by no means,at no time,in nocase等。不管用哪一个，都要注意它们是含有否定的意味的，因此在置于句首时应使用倒装语序。来源：考试大4. fake and inferiorcommodities解析：“假冒伪劣商品”包含两层含义：一是假货，二是次品，在翻译成英文的时候应该注意两层含义的正确译法。“假冒”不能用false而应选择fake，“次品”可以说inferior表示质量差，也可以用commodityof low quality。5. draw useful lessons fromit来源：考试大解析：句意为：面对失败，有的人能够顽强抵抗，从中吸取教训，努力实现他们的目标。本句由三个并列的谓语成分构成，谓语动词分别是stand upto“汲取”和try。“汲取教训”正确表达为draw a lessonfrom。然而我们又能从全句判断，从失败中吸取教训是为了将来能够更好地实现目标，因此加上修饰语useful，使内容更明确。顺序法:翻译不改变原文表达语序，不会影响对原文内容的理解。例1 即使在我们关掉床头灯甜甜地进入梦乡时，电仍然为我们工作：开动电冰箱，把水加热，或使室内空调机继续运转。译文: Even when we turn off the bedside lamp and are fast asleep, electricity is working for us, driving our refrigerators, heating our water, or keeping our rooms air-conditioned.考试大全国最大教育类网站(wwwExamda。com)在句子中，句子前半部分是一个让步状语从句，后半句的“开动”，“加热”，“使运转”都是“电在为我们工作”的具体内容。因而在译文中，译者将这三个并行动作处理成了V-ing 形式，补充说明working的内容。译文按照原句的语序完全传达了原文的意思，采用顺序法翻译，达到了“精确，通顺”的目的。例2 It was a Saturday evening, when Tom was lying on the bench of the school listening to a blackbird and composing a lyric, that he saw the girls running among the trees, with the red-cheeked Joe in swift pursuit.译文: 那是周六的傍晚，汤姆正躺在学校的长凳上，一面听画眉鸟唱歌，一面写一首抒情诗，忽然看见女孩子们在树林里奔跑，后面紧跟着那红脸的乔。原句里一连串出现了一系列的动词如：lying, listening, composing, saw，这是按汤姆进行这些动作的先后顺序来描述的，如果在译文中打乱这些顺序，就反而会显得凌乱，没有逻辑。逆序法:来源：考试大逆序法根据目标语使用者表达习惯与目标语读者的认知能力，按原文语序反向翻译，以便更好地传达原文的内容。例3 他经常做礼拜的时候，总坐在固定的座位上，可是那天他们发现他不坐在老地方。请读者比较下面两句译文，你认为哪一句较好？译文1:When he attended worship, he always took a certain seat, but they found that he took a different one that day.译文2:They remarked how he took a different seat from that which he usually occupied when he chose to attend worship.两种译文都忠实传达了原文内容。第一种为顺序翻译，第二种为逆序翻译。第一种显得有些冗长拖沓，且前后简单句主语不一致（前半句主语为he，后半句主语是they），给人表述混乱之感。第二种由于采用了逆序法将原句意思用一个复合句表达出来，内容清晰，结构紧凑。顺序法和逆序法主要是针对翻译长句而言，四六级汉译英题不会涉及此类译法，但作为翻译策略之一，应有所了解。Exercise 21.We wish to convey to you _ （我们衷心的祝贺）.2. _（无论从哪一方面考虑），they ought to be given another chance.3. _（随着时间的流逝）,they forgot their bitter sufferings.4.We must _（使自己适应）the demands of our times; otherwise well fall behind other industrialized countries of the world.5.The number of the students in the city has _ （增加了五倍） in comparison with 2001.答案：1. our hearty congratulations解析：全句意为：我们希望向你表达我们衷心的祝福。主要考查词是“衷心的”。hearty 表示发自内心的，衷心的，亲切的，热烈的意思。如：a hearty welcome（热烈的欢迎）；a hearty invitation（真诚的邀请）；a hearty support（全力的支持）。另外，“希望（做）某事”可以说成：wish to do sth./ wish + sth.2. Taking everything into consideration解析：本题考查的是反面表达法。“无论从哪一方面考虑”即：方方面面都考虑到。“考虑”的短语表达有：take sth. into consideration /take sth. into account 。因为此句主句已给出，所以take应用现在分词的形式，在句中作原因状语。本句采用反译法，使译文符合英文表达习惯。3. With the passing of time解析：本题是考查固定搭配，“时间流逝”应译为 the passing / passage of time ，“随着”应选用介词with，请看例句：We grow older with the hours.（我们随着时光流逝而长大。）4. adapt ourselves to解析：本句意为：我们必须使自己适应这个时代的要求，否则就会落后于世界其他工业国家。主要考查“使适应” 的用法：adapt to / adapt sb. to，如：adapt themselves to city life（使他们适应城市生活）；You should adapt yourself to the new environment.（你应该适应新环境）。adapt 除了有“使适应”含义外，还有“改编，改写”之意。考生也常将adapt 和 adopt相混淆。adopt有“采纳，接受，领养”之意。5. increased 6 times解析：本题考查关于倍数的说法。“增加了5倍”即增加到6倍。用times与fold表示“增加”时，要注意英语要多说一倍。如Output of coal increased four times（或fourfold）.（媒产量增加了3倍）。大学英语四六级综合题型汉译英冲刺练习及解析一、倍数增减的表示法1) Force N1 _(比力N2大2.5倍).2) This substance _(反应速度是另外那种物质的三倍).3) The earth _(是月球大小的49倍).4) The landlord _(想将租金提高三分之一).5) They _(计划将投资增加一倍).来源：二、时态1) Be quick, _(否则等我们到达教堂时婚礼就已经结束了).2) When she got home, _(孩子们已经睡着了).3) When I prepare for the college entrance examination, _(我姐姐将在海边度假).4) I_(一上午都在修改我的简历).5) Do you often go on holiday? _(不，我已经有五年没有度假了).6) He joined the army in October, 2001. _(他参军已五年了).三、被动语态1) The blackboard and chalk _(正在被电脑和投影机所取代).2) The book _(到今年年底就将已出版).3) Computer models _(可以用来演示细胞工作的方式).4) When the bill of fare was brought, _(我惊呆了，价格大大超出了我的预料).5) _(必须立即采取有效措施)to eliminate sand storms.四、情态动词1) The phone is ringing, _(但是没人接听。她一定不在家).2) I cant find my sunglasses. _(我可能昨天落在咖啡店里了).3) You screamed in your sleep last night. _(你一定梦见什么可怕的东西了).4) Its a pity. _(你本应该邀请她来参加你的毕业典礼的).5) _(其实我没必要穿上我最好的套装去参加那次聚会的); most of the guests were wearing jeans and sweaters.五、虚拟语气1) I wish _(我年轻的时候有你们这样的机会).2) If only _(他知道这病是可以治好的)!
