2019大学英语六级翻译练习题及答案：思乡情
请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
思乡(homesickness)是中国人的一个永恒的话题。从古至今，无论男女，家是他们永久的港湾，思乡是他们不老的情结(complex)。正是这样的情结成为中国历代文人重要的创作题材，并以各种方式，从各种角度加以体现。是故乡，唤起了他们心灵深处最美好的回忆，在对故乡的思念中，他们又仿佛回到了那单纯无邪的童年时代，回到了母亲的怀抱，身心的创伤得到了暂时的平复，精神的空虚得到了刹那的充实，故乡成了他们终极的归宿地(ultimate destination)。

the wounds in body and mind, “得到平复”译为get healed。
翻译题应试技巧 汉语主动句译成英语被动句 我们在汉译英时，往往也需要把汉语主动句译成被动句。这是因为：为了保证上下文连贯，使衔接更紧密，句子更自然；或强调动作承受者；或使语气婉转、措辞恰当。具体转换方法有如下两种。 1）把汉语主动句的宾语译成英语被动句的主语。 例1 ____________（将领你们去参观我们的新车间）by the secretary. 译文：Y ou will be shown our new workshop. 简评：如果这句话不是划线填内容，你完全可以将它翻译成The secretary will show you our new workshop。正是因为题型是补全句子，这就给翻译带来了一定的难度，你必须去适应题型要求而不是让题型来适应你。让我们看看译文已给出部分：by the secretary显然是一个被动语态特征，"秘书"在译文里已经由原来的主语变成了译文句子的补足成分。所以，题目是暗示我们要把原句中"你们"转换成译句里的主语，这样才符合出题要求。 例2 Y ou __________（我们期待你能组织贸易推广活动）this time. 译文：are expected to organize the trade publicity campaigns. 简评：根据题目可推知全句意思是：我们期望你能组织这次的贸易推广活动。中文句子主语、谓语、宾语分别是：我们、期望、你。但是在英文译文的给出部分中我们看到句子以you开头，也就是说"你被期望能组织这次贸易推广活动"。中文的宾语变成了英文的主语，这就要求我们在翻译时要使用被动语态。全句完整答案是：Y ou are expected to organize the trade publicity campaigns this time. 2）当汉语句以"我们"、"人们"、"大家"等泛指性代词作主语时，在翻译成英文的时候常常可以忽略主语不译，并把英文译句处理成被动语态。处理后的英文译句往往带有know，see，find，say，suppose，estimate，report，suggest，stress，consider，expect，admit，point，understand 等动词。 例3 如果原子失去一个或多个电子，我们就说这个原子带正电荷。 译文：If one or more electrons are removed，the atom is said/believed/thought to be positively charged. 简评：这句话是一个条件从句。即：在原子失去一个或多个电子的情况下，这个电子带正电荷。"我们就说这个原子带正电荷"可理解为"这个原子被认为/ 被确信/ 被说成是带正电荷"。那么根据前面所说的原则，我们在翻译时可以将泛指性主语"我们"省略不译，并使用被动语态。 从这个例子里我们还可以看出，在科技文章中，根据英语表达习惯我们应当多采用被动语态，以强调事物的客观性。 例4 人们采用各种措施来防止腐蚀。 译文：All kinds of measures are taken to prevent corrosion. 简评：这句话可以按原文译成主动态，即：People have taken all kinds of measures to prevent corrosion。也可以用被动语态来翻译--All kinds of measures are taken to prevent corrosion。两者比较而言，被动态译文更突出表明所有、种种措施已经付诸实施，all kinds of measures得到强调，而主动态译法只是平铺直叙，重点不突出。

翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等。六级长度为180-200字。把这段180-200汉字翻译成英文是需要一定步骤的，我们一起来看一下：做题步骤和时间分配： ?1. 通读全段，逐句标号。 –标出难词等。2分钟。 ?2. 处理原文，梳理逻辑。 –正确断句、合句、找准主语。3分钟 ?3. 逐句翻译，快速草稿。15分钟。 ?4. 调整加工，定稿誊抄。复查 –检查有无漏译、错译;检查语言是否通顺。8分钟。 , 了解完了翻译步骤，我们一起来看一下六级翻译的要点及方法：翻译，就是对语言表层背后，深层思维差异的处理。很多同学在翻译时容易犯逐字翻译的错误，其实翻译是意思的传递，所以保证原文的意思不变是最重要的。 大家在翻译词汇选择时要做到以下原则： –“瞻前顾后”：句子前后都要注意，联系前后文选择词汇 –“得意忘形”：翻译最重要的是传达意思，不要过于拘于形式。 总这样说可能过于抽象，下面结合实例为大家讲解一些翻译技巧： 翻译时最主要的精力不是放在最难的句子，要放在最前面的句子。全段6-7句话。前两句一般难度最低，但在评分中最为重要。 ?首句(或首句+次句)：破题/下定义 –主语+谓语+宾语【S-V-O】 –主语+系语+表语【S-V-P】 } –主语+谓语+双宾语【S-V-oO】 –主语+谓语+复合宾语【S-V-OC】 –主语+谓语【SV】
牢记基本句型，因为：中英文此处一致! 【翻译技巧】汉译英时，如是单句，应首先确定主谓主干;如是复杂的句子或长句，则需要确立信息重心。这是英译的第一步，也是正确译文的基础。 ?确定主谓 【翻译技巧】将中文主语的“开放”，想办法变成英文的“封闭”。 ?“京剧(Peking Opera)已有200多年的历史，是中国的国剧。” ?Peking Opera is the national opera of China. 【翻译技巧】英语首先解决： ~ ?“谁，干了啥” 【翻译技巧】先定主谓，再加修饰。 “右扩展”VS.“左扩展”：如果是单个修饰词，我们就把修饰词放在主干的左边，如果是两个及两个以上的修饰词，我们就把修饰词放到主干的右边：例如： –一个花园 a garden(主干) –一个漂亮的花园 a beautiful garden(修饰词在主干的左边) –一个看上去很漂亮的花园 a garden that looks beautiful.(修饰词在主干的右边) 【翻译技巧】英语句子通用公式： ?(状)+ 主+(定)+ 谓+(状)+宾+(定)+(状) ?昨天下午三点钟我在东风广场附近的昆明百货大楼花了50元买了一条裤子。 ） ?I bought a pair of trousers at the cost of 50 yuan in Kunming Department Store near Dongfeng Square at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon. 翻译技巧：“短句合译” –1. 使用从句(状从、定从) –2. 使用非谓语动词 –3. 使用同位语
2020年六级(CET6)翻译题举例及解析(3)翻译策略 顺序法 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. 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，这是按汤姆实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。

大学英语四六级翻译资料 整理者：政治学院葛菲菲 Test1 在中国，喝茶是一种仪式（ritual）和一中精致品味（refined taste）的展示。人们在饮茶的同时，也领略着（take delight in）品茶的情趣。喝茶聊天是中国人最流行的消遣方式之一。过去，人们一天的生活往往从进一家有名的茶馆开始。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就政治话题进行激烈的（furious）争论。 Tea drinking in China is a ritual and a demonstration of the refined taste. While drinking tea, people take delight in appreciating the essence of tea itself. Chatting over a pot of tea is one of the most popular pastime among Chinese people. People used to start the day with a visit to a well-known teahouse, which would be the equivalent of French café and English pub. People come here not just to drink tea, but to discuss local news or to have furious political debates. Test2 中国的城市化将会充分释放潜在内需。一些经济学家指出，在中国，几乎所有欠发达城市都面临着城市化的进程。这使得许多人的生活水平有所提高，也为人们提供更多的就业机会。随着越来越多的人向城市迁徙，住房及城市基础设施建设，包括水源和能源的供应将会成为城市发展的焦点（focal）问题。城市化意味着可以在城市享受更好的教育和医疗资源。商品与服务的自由、快速流通是城市化社会的一项基本特征。 China’s urbanization will full y release the potential of domestic demand. Some economic point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country. It will lead to a better quality of life for many people, and provide individuals with more job opportunities. The construction of housing and city infrastructure, including water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban development as more people migrate to city. Urbanization signifies better access to educational and medical resources in the city. The free, fast flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society. Test3 旅游业是最近二十年来在世界各地迅速发展的一个行业，现在正引起愈来愈多中国公众的注意。许多读者给报社写信，就促进中国旅游业的发展提出了各种建议。人们的看法是，发展旅游业将有助于增进中国人民和其他国家人民之间的相互了解和友谊，并将有利于各国人民在文化、科技、技术方面的交流，还会有助于为中国的发展积累资金。 Tourism, a fast developing business over the last two decades in all parts of the world, is now receiving increasing attention among the Chinese public. Many readers have written to the press making various suggestions for the development of tourism in China. It is believed that the development of tourism will help promote mutual understanding and friendship between the people of China and other countries, and facilitate communication in the fields of culture, science and technology. Moreover, it
