[考研类试卷]英语专业基础英语（翻译）历年真题试卷汇编6 一、翻译 1 Translate the following passage into Chinese．(中国人民大学2005研，考试科目：基础英语) TEINT DE PERLE VISAGE FIN TEINT DE PERLE VISAGE FIN is a new generation of modelling foundation, which refines facial contours while illuminating the complexion with a pearl-like radiance. Its ultra-fine and silky texture glides smoothly onto the skin to adorn it with a powdered veil. A RADIANT COMPLEXION A pearl extract, whose composition is close to the NMF(Natural Moisturizing Factor), helps reinforce the skin's natural hydration: the skin is perfectly hydrated and comfortable all day long. Light reflecting pigments create a "halo" , which optically smoothes out the skin's surface, thus reducing small imperfections:the complexion is even, translucent and brightened. A REDEFINITION OF FACIAL CONTOURS Bi-reflecting pigments enliven features, and redefine facial contours while playing with light and shadow. The reflection highlight the round areas of the face(forehead, cheekbones, chin). The amber reflection shapes the face by enhancing the shadowy areas(cheeks, sides of nose). Facial contours are re-sculpted, features are refined. A FRESH STAY-TRUE COMPLEXION ALL DAY LONG TEINT DE PERLE VISAGE FIN provides exceptional softness to touch and ensures a flawless finish. The presence of "long radiance "pigments coated with silica helps color last for hours. This coating acts as a shield against sebum and perspiration production, main causes of shade tarnishing. The long-lasting matt finish is ensured by a combination of "anti-shine"powders characterized by their softness and absorbing properties. Sunscreens(SPF 20)protect the skin from UVA and UVB and help preserve the complexion's fairness. The complexion remains fresh and radiant throughout the day. AN ADJUSTABLE MAKE-UP FINISH Apply TEINT DE PERLE VISAGE FIN after your regular day care. The double sided applicator enables you to adjust the coverage according to your mood. —Dry sponge for a natural and light make-up finish. —Damp sponge for a more sophisticated and flawless finish. —Puff side for touch-ups during the day. A rapid, unifying and matifying application, without creating a masklike look. Be careful to frequently wash the sponge with soap and water and to let it dry completely after use.
