大学英语四级考试
翻译题型
汉译英解题方法
1. 阅读原文，理解原文，获得总体印象。
2. 处理原文句子，正确断句，合句，找准主语。理解原文中的语言现象和逻辑关系，注意汉英两种语言的不同表达习惯，综合翻译技巧进行翻译。
3.修改，对译文修正、加工、润饰。第一步：对照原文一句一句修改，看原文内容、思想是否准确表达出来；有无漏译、错译、曲解的地方；译文语言是否通顺。 第二步：脱离原文， 反复阅读后进行修改。看上下文有无不连接的地方，前后有无矛盾、重复的地方，有无逻辑不通的地方。
汉语 VS 英语 不同表达习惯
一、英语重结构，汉语重语义 二、英语多长句，汉语多短句 三、英语多从句，汉语多分句
四、主语，宾语等名词成分“英语多代词，汉语多名词” 五、英语多被动，汉语多主动 六、英语多变化，汉语多重复 七、英语多抽象，汉语多具体 八、英语多引申，汉语多推理 英汉结构差异 连接方式：
汉语隐形，即连接词很少出现或不出现，这体现为意合(parataxis); 英语显性，即连接词出现，体现为形合(hypotaxis) 组句方式：
汉语：动词多，短句多，常按时间顺序或前因后果的逻辑关系排列，呈链状；
英语：常按句内主次从属关系排列，在句子主体上添加修饰语以及限定语，形成严谨的树状结构。 1. 正确判断句子之间的关系，补充连接手段，实现显性连接。
e.g. „„在这一年半中，她抄写、背写英语单词的纸，累起来可达桌子高。„„ 思路：SVO=纸+达到+桌子高。 问题：累起来怎么处理？
In that year and a half, the paper on which she had copied English words or written them down from memory, if stacked up, could reach the table from the floor. 2. 掌握内在联系正确断句
我们的班主任姓王，五十开外，方脸，一脸的胡子。
Mr. Wang, the head teacher responsible for our class, was over fifty. He had a square-shaped face with a full beard.
3. 正确安排句子基本框架，主次清楚，符合原意
原文：大家都记得1979年秋天，当这个总共只念过八年书、连英文字母也认不全，而且已有三个孩子的女工，竟然报名上电大英语班时，招来了多少惊讶的目光。
They remember how many astonished looks were cast at her in the autumn of 1979, when this woman worker with only 8 year’s schooling, little acquaintance with the English alphabet and three children to look after, actually enrolled in the English class offered by the local TV university.
汉译英的基本技巧
一、翻译的基本方法： 直译 ＆ 意译
直译：保持原文内容、又保持原文形式，基本保留原有句子结构，不是死译。 意译：只保持原文内容、不保持原文形式，更多考虑英语的特点。 如： 我们的朋友遍天下。
Our friends are all over the world. (直译) We have friends all over the world.（意译） 二、 汉译英的基本技巧 1. 增词
为了充分传达原文含义，必须增补词语，以求达意.
北京是中国的政治、文化中心。这里你可以游览万里长城、故宫、颐和园等。
Beijing is a political and cultural center that offers some scenic attractions: the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace etc. 1. 我不觉得用英语与外国人交谈有什么困难。
I don’t think it difficult to speak to a foreigner in English. 2. 虚心使人进步，骄傲使人落后。
Modesty helps one to go forward, whereas conceit makes on lag behind. 2. 减词:
汉语喜欢重复，英语崇尚简洁。汉语的重复作为一种修辞手段有两种作用。一是为了强调，重复表达一个意思，或增添修饰语，加强语气。二是为了便于词语搭配，或平衡节奏，增加可读性。这些在汉语里习以为常的重复词语或句式，到了英语里要么不合逻辑，要么累赘冗长。所以翻译时都要有所删减省略。
这是革命的春天，这是人民的春天，这是科学的春天！让我们张开双臂，热烈拥抱这个春天吧！ Let us stretch out our arms to embrace the spring, which is one of the revolution, of the people, and of science.
见到自己的故乡，他想起了童年的情景。
The sight of his native place called back his childhood. 他连续讲了两小时的法语，没有出现任何错误。
He has been speaking in French for two hours without any mistakes.
长嗟短叹 －－ sighing deeply 发号施令－－ issue orders 土崩瓦解－－ fall apart
两面三刀－－ two-faced tactics 3. 词类转换 词类变形和转换，是英语语言的一个很重要的特点，尤其是名词、动词、形容词这三种最主要的词类。 eg. 他的演讲给我们的印象很深。
His speech impressed us deeply.(名词变动词) eg. 你说他傻不傻？
Don’t you think he is an idiot? (形容词变名词) 4. 语态转换
在英汉两种语言当中都有主动和被动两种语态。在英语中被动语态的使用频率要远远高于汉语。如果一味按照汉语原句的语态来翻译，会使译文显得十分别扭。 这个小男孩在放学回家的路上受了伤 。
The little boy was hurt on his way home from school. 门锁好了。
The door has been locked up. 新教材在印刷中。
New textbooks are being printed. 5. 分译 & 合译(按内容层次分译)
分译： 需要分译的句子多数是长句，或者是结构复杂的复句。这种句子如果译成一个长句，就会使译文冗长、累赘、意思表达不清楚，也不符合英文习惯。如果采用分译，则会使译文简洁、易懂、层次分明。
少年是一去不复返的，等到精力衰竭时，要做学问也来不及了。
Youth will soon be gone， never to return. And it will be too late for you to go into scholarship when in your declining years.
她隔窗望去，突然发现有只小船停泊在河边，船里有位船夫睡得正香。
Looking through the window, she suddenly spotted a boat moored to the bank. In it there was a boatman fast asleep. 合译：
相较于汉语而言，英语长句多，因此在翻译中，要把汉语的两个或多个句子合译为英语的一句，使译文紧凑、简练。
对我来说，我的水族箱就像我自己的一个小王国。我就是里面的国王。 To me my aquarium is like my own little kingdom where I am king.
第二天，我又接到一个电报。这个电报有34个字，比前一个电报说得更详细。
The following day I received another telegram consisting of 34 ciphers, giving more details. 6. 正、反表达翻译
I.汉语从反面表达，译文从正面表达 他提出的论据相当不充实。
The argument he put forward is pretty thin. 他七十岁了，可是并不显老。
He was 70, but he carried his years lightly. II.汉语从正面表达，译文从反面表达 她来得正是时候。
She couldn’t have come at a better time. 对于汉译英，你越细心越好。
You can never be too careful about Chinese-English translation.
7.变序
从译文的行文上考虑，有时需要对原文的词序作一番调整，以适应英文的修辞习惯，或者为了避免因结构而产生的歧义。
例：到西安你可以买兵马俑、唐三彩。
Unique local creations are available in Xi’an, such as the three colored glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty and terra-cotta figures.
(“兵马俑”和“唐三彩”在译文中变换了位置，是为了避免”of the Tang Dynasty”在结构上产生歧义。) 练习 1
中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放，这对海外企业（enterprises）意味着更多的商机。改革开放以来， 中国企业与海外企业一直积极开展经济技术合作，并取得了巨大成就。海外企业不仅帮助了中国企业的成长，而且也在合作中获得了收益。中国政府将继续提供有利的政策和条件，推动中国企业与国外企业进一步开展合作。 key 1
China will develop its economy further and open itself wider to the outside world, which offers more business opportunities to overseas enterprises. Since China’s reform and opening up, Chinese enterprises have been cooperating with overseas enterprises in terms of economy and technology, and have scored great achievement. Overseas enterprises have not only helped Chinese enterprises with their growth, but also benefited from the cooperation. Chinese government will continue to offer favorable policies and conditions to promote the further cooperation between Chinese and overseas enterprises. 练习 2 狮舞（Lion Dance）是中国最广为流传的民间舞蹈之一。狮为百兽之首，在中国传统中，狮子被视为是能带来好运的吉祥物（mascot）。古人将狮子视作是勇敢和力量的化身，能驱赶邪恶、保护人类。据记载，狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。在唐代（the Tang Dynasty），狮舞就已经被引入了皇室。
因此，舞狮成为元宵节（the Lantern Festival）和其他节日的习俗，人们以此来祈祷好运、平安和幸福。 Key 2
The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China. The lion is the king of animals. In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck. Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans. The dance has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years. During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty. Therefore, performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness. 练习 3
假日经济的现象表明：中国消费者的消费观正在发生巨大变化。根据统计数据，中国消费者的消费需求正在从基本生活必需品转向对休闲、舒适和个人发展的需求。同时，中国人的消费观在蓬勃发展的假日经济中正变得成熟。因此产品结构应做相应调整，来适应社会的发展。另一方面，服务质量要改善，以满足人们提高生活质量的要求。 Key 3
The phenomenon of holiday economy shows that Chinese people’s consumption concept is undertaking great changes. According to statistics, the demands of Chinese consumers are shifting from the basic necessities of life to leisure, comfort and personal development. Therefore, the structure of products should be adjusted accordingly to adapt to social development. On the other hand, services should be improved to satisfy people’s demand for an improved quality of life. 练习 4
端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣（minister）,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤（vilify）而最终投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子，希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身躯。几千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子（glutinous dumplings）和赛龙舟，尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。 Key 4
The Duanwu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified. People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water, hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan’s body. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. 练习 5
2013年6月20日在中国各地，剧估计60万儿童和他们的老师观看了有宇航员（astronaut）王亚平在距离地球300公里的上空所讲授的科学课。王亚平与两个同事乘坐天宫一号实验舱(the Tiangon-1 laboratory module) 执行为期两周的任务。她在课上进行了一系列太空的物理演示。在有些演示中还对比了在地球上重力（one-gravity）环境下同样的实验。这堂物理课不仅让孩子们享受了一堂知识与乐趣兼具的物理课，也显示了我国通信科技的前进。 Key 5
On June 20, 2013, an estimated 600 thousand school children and their teachers across China watched a science lesson taught from 300km above the Earth by astronaut Wang Yaping. Wang is aboard the Tiangong-1 laboratory module with two crewmates, for a two-week mission. Her lessons were a series of physics demonstrations in the space. In some demonstrations, she compared with the same experiment under the one-gravity environment on Earth. The lesson has not only offered children a physics lesson with knowledge and interest, but also shows the advance in communication technology of China.
英语四级改革后段落翻译练习 （1）
原文：总结一年来的工作，我们清醒地看到，经济社会发展中还存在不少问题和困难。必须坚持把人民群众利益放在第一位。要切实维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益，着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题，保障城乡困难群众的基本生活。不断满足人们日益增长的物质文化需要，是社会主义现代化建设的根本目的。只有执政为民，我们的各项事业才能获得最广泛最可靠的群众基础和力量源泉。 译文：总结一年来的工作，我们清醒地看到，经济社会发展中还存在不少问题和困难。
In reviewing our work of the past year, we clearly see that many problems and difficulties remain in our economic and social development.
总结用review，在这里用了现在分词形式，不失为一种简单而又正式的方式。在后半句的翻译中，英文和汉语语序整体大相反，注意“经济社会发展”的表达方式：in economic and social development.
必须坚持把人民群众利益放在第一位。
We must always put the interests of the people first.
这句话翻译起来比较简单，注意“把......放在第一位”put...first。
要切实维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益，着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题，保障城乡困难群众的基本生活。
We must truly protect the people‘s economic, political and cultural rights and interests, pay particular attention to solving acute problems affecting their vital interests, and ensure that poor urban and rural residents have the basic necessities of life.
翻译整段，必然会有个别长句，这就需要我们把握整体结构，表明大意即可。 这段话是很正式的会议截取，所以咱们翻译时很多词组或者句子结构都是有据可循的。比如这句“着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题”，翻译的时候，没有完全按照汉语语序，而是把“关系群众切身利益”翻译为现在分词作后置定语结构 affecting their vital interests。
注意固定词组与句式：维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益 protect the people‘s economic, political and cultural rights and interests
着力解决......pay particular attention to solving (记住，pay attention to doing/sth 这个固定结构)
不断满足人们日益增长的物质文化需要，是社会主义现代化建设的根本目的。
The fundamental goal of our socialist modernization drive is to continually meet the growing material and cultural needs of the people.
这句话翻译出来，也是将汉语语序颠倒后进行的翻译。用了to do不定式做表语。这句话大家可以完全背诵下来。
只有执政为民，我们的各项事业才能获得最广泛最可靠的群众基础和力量源泉。 Only if we exercise power for the good of the people can we enjoy the broadest and most reliable support from the people and draw from them the strength for accomplishing all our undertakings.
只有......才......这个结构需要用到英文结构only if。后半句汉语很复杂，所以英语翻译时，用了两个and连接的分句，来更清楚正确地表达汉语的意思。 注意固定词组与句式：
执政为民 exercise power for the good of the people 我们的各项事业 all our undertakings 英语四级改革后段落翻译练习(2) 原文：

A shining pearl on the coast of South China, Macao attracts the world’s attention for her charm, history of great events and glory, especially for the unusual date of December 20, 1999.
本句翻译没有完全按照汉语语序，而是用英语特有的翻译方式来凸显一些值得大家注意的细节。 South China Sea 表示中国南海，不是“南中国海” East China Sea 东海
自古以来，澳门就是中国的领土，中华儿女世世代代在这里繁衍生息。
Macao has been the territory of China ever since the ancient times. TheChinese people have been living and working there for generations.
汉语为一个长句，但翻译为英文就要注意，要分成两个句子。 自古以来：ever since
早在80年代，世纪伟人邓小平就提出了\"一国两制\"的伟大构想。
Early in the 80s, Mr. Deng Xiaoping, one of the great figures of thecentury, put forward the bold concept of \"One Country, Two Systems\". 注意“80年代”这种翻译方式 伟人：great figure 提出：put forward
一国两制：One Country, Two Systems
1997年7月1日，中华人民共和国恢复对香港行使主权。
On July 1,1997, the People’s Republic of China resumed her sovereignty over Hong Kong. 本句是个简单句，很好翻译。
恢复对......行使主权：resume one's sovereignty over
今年，澳门又将彻底结束外国管治，回到祖国怀抱，这是中华民族的又一件历史盛事，它标志着中国人民向着祖国统一的伟大目标又迈出了重大的步。澳门的明天一定会更好美好。

中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如，我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代 诗人屈原的日子。那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征 着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。因此，中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国 的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday)，除了常见的家禽和肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗 烹制传统食物，如铰子和年糕。 参考答案
Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people
cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the “ 1 ” new year cake . 难点精析
■ 1.中国的传统节庆膳食：翻译为Traditional Chinese holiday meals,其中“节庆膳食”直接译为holiday meals , 即可，翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”的顺序。
2.纪念：翻译为介词短语in memory of,修饰前面的a day。
■ 3.赛龙舟：翻译为hold dragon boat races,其中hold意为“举行”，“举行龙舟比赛”即“赛龙舟”。
4.观赏满月：“满月”即fMlmoon,此处的“观赏”可以译为viewing,也可以用enjoying或watching表示。 5.象征着家庭团聚：“象征”翻译为系表结构is a symbol for,也可以用动词symbolize表示，“家庭团聚”翻译： 为 family reunion 即可。

北京有无数的胡同(hutong)。平民百姓在胡同里的生活给古都北京带来了无穷的魅力。北京的胡同不仅仅 是平民百姓的生活环境，而且还是一门建筑艺术。通常，胡同内有一个大杂院，房间够4到10个家庭的差不多20 口人住。所以，胡同里的生活充满了友善和人情味。如今，随着社会和经济的飞速发展，很多胡同被新的高楼大 厦所取代。但愿胡同可以保留下来。 参考答案
In Beijing, there are numerous hutongs. The life of common people in hutongs brings endless charm to the ancient capital, Beijing. The hutong in Beijing is not only the living environment of common people but also a kind of architecture. Usually, there is a courtyard complex inside hutong, with rooms shared by 4 to 10 families of about 20 people. Therefore, life in hutongs is full of friendliness and genuine humanity. Nowadays, with rapid social and economic development, many hutongs are replaced by new tall buildings. I hope hutongs can be preserved.
难点精析
1.带来了无穷的魅力：翻译为bring endless charm to。 2.汉语习惯于用并列的散句或短语来表达一个语境，而英文习惯上用整句表述，句内不太重要的信息会用 | 介词短语或从句来补充说明，如本段中“胡同内有一个大杂院，房间够4到10个家庭的差不多20口人住”是 ： 两个并列关系的汉语短句，翻译成英文时可将第二句用with介词结构表达出来，起补充说明的作用。 3.充满友善和人情味：翻译为full of friendliness and genuine humanity。 4.随着社会和经济的飞速发展：翻译为with rapid social and economic development，也是with介词短语的应用，在句中作伴随状语。

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.

The color most frequently used in paper cutting is red, which symbolizes health and prosperity. Chinese paper cutting is very popular around the world and it is often given as a present to foreign friends. 难点精析
1.传统民间艺术形式：翻译为traditional folk art,其中folk意为“民间的，民俗的”，art既可以表示“艺术”这一抽象概念，也可以表示具体的“艺术形式”，所以直接翻译为art即可，不必加form—词。 2.美化居家环境：“美化”即beautify，“居家环境”翻译成their homes即可，不要逐字生硬地翻译为home
environment。
3.增加喜庆的气氛：翻译为enhance the joyous atmosphere。
4.象征健康和兴旺：翻译为which symbolizes health and prosperity,此处既可以用非限制性定语从句，也可以用分词形式symbolizing health and prosperity。

在我的生活里，我也尝试过很多次试着放手。虽然，学会放手不会减轻生活里的伤痛或是改变什么，也不会让你的情绪得以发泄，也许你仍然会被生活所困。然而，富有同情心是一种释放。会让你和感受到你同情心的人得到精神上的洗礼。当你对一切都富有同情心时，你会发挥自己最大潜力。你也会在生活中觉得自己有无限的正能量。
在我的生活里，我也尝试过很多次试着放手。
I'm learning to do that a lot in this life, to let go.(大家是不是觉得很奇怪，明明汉语里倾向于过去式“尝试过”，但英文翻译过来就是I'm learning to do。可以留意下这种翻译方式，不过如果大家在考试时遇到这种情况，还是翻译成过去式比较好（如果你的翻译水平没有达到炉火纯青的地步的话，呵呵），因为阅卷老师也不是那种翻译大牛哦~
放手：to let go
虽然，学会放手不会减轻生活里的伤痛或是改变什么，也不会让你的情绪得以发泄，也许你仍然会被生活所困。It doesn't help to hang on to the hurt or judgment. It doesn't work to blame or criticize. Those approaches only serve to keep you stuck.
这里两个英文句子都用了形式主语it来代替前面提到过的“放手”，不繁琐，而且适合散文的风格。汉语只要语义衔接，可一直逗号下去，但英文，只要是结构完整，只能用句号或相应的标点哦。
减轻伤痛：to help to hang on to the hurt 被生活所困：keep sb stuck 然而，富有同情心是一种释放。会让你和感受到你同情心的人得到精神上的洗礼。But compassion is freeing. It uplifts both you and the person you are sharing it with.
释放直接用了freeing，很简单，但很舒服。第二句话汉语读起来很绕，但英语翻译出来是不是让你一下子就茅塞顿开？这就是英语的魅力~
当你对一切都富有同情心时，你会发挥自己最大潜力。When you act with compassion, you are living from your highest potential and connecting with your greatest self.
看上句翻译，“富有同情心”直接是compassion，这句里的“富有同情心”就变换了一下方式，act with compassion，翻译一直重复是没有美感的，有时候需要我们留意一下细节。
你也会在生活中觉得自己有无限的正能量。The more you can do that, the better you'll feel in this life. 这句翻译很简单，就是用了the more...the better句型。
