It may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive peoples or cultures, but that is another matter. Certainly, not all groups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics or psychology or the cultivation of rice or the engraving of Benares brass. But this is not the fault of their language. The Eskimos can speak about snow with a great deal more precision and subtlety than we can in English, but this is not because the Eskimo language (one of those sometimes miscalled ’primitive’) is inherently more precise and subtle than English. This example does not bring to light a defect in English, a show of unexpected ’primitiveness’. The position is simply and obvio usly that the Eskimos and the English live in different environments. The English language would be just as rich in terms for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments in which English was habitually used made such distinction important. Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo language could be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor manufacture or cricket if these topics formed part of the Eskimos’ life. For obvious historical reasons, Englishmen in the nineteenth century could not talk about motorcars with the minute discrimination which is possible today: cars were not a part of their culture. But they had a host of terms for horse-drawn vehicles which send us, puzzled, to a historical dictionary when we are reading Scott or Dickens. How many of us could distinguish between a chaise, a landau, a victoria, a brougham, a coupe, a gig, a diligence, a whisky, a calash, a tilbury, a carriole, a phaeton, and a clarence ? 2010年专八真题改错参考答案 1 be后插入as; 2 their改为its; 3 There改为It; 4 Whereas改为But 5 further 改为much 6 come改为bring; 7 similar改为different; 8 will改为would; 9 as important去掉as; 10 the part去掉the 2010年专八真题人文知识参考答案 31、D；32、A；33、D；34、A；35、C；36、D；37、A；38、A；39、C；40、B。 2010年专八真题汉译英参考答案 Friends tend to become more intimated if they have the same interests and temper, they can get along well and keep contacting; otherwise they will separate and end the relationship. Friends who are more familiar and closer can not be too casual and show no respect. Otherwise the harmony and balance will be broken, and the friendship will also be nonexistent any more. Everyone hopes to have his own private space, and if too casual among friends, it is easy to invade this piece of restricted areas, which will lead to the conflict, resulting in alienation. It may be a small matter to be rude to friends; however, it is likely to plant the devastating seeds. The best way to keep the close relationship between friends is to keep contacts with restraint, and do not bother each other. 2010年专八真题英译汉参考答案 我想那是五月的一个周日的早晨；那天是复活节，一个大清早上。我站在自家小屋的门口。就在我的面前展现出了那么一番景色，从我那个位置其实能够尽收眼底，可是梦里的感觉往往如此，由于梦幻的力量，这番景象显得超凡出尘，一派肃穆气象。群山形状相同，其山脚下都有着同样可爱的山谷；不过群山挺然参天，高于阿尔卑斯峰，诸山相距空旷，丰草如茵，林地开阔，错落其间；树篱上的白玫瑰娟娟弥望；远近看不见任何生物，唯有苍翠的教堂庭院里，牛群静静地卧躺在那片郁郁葱葱的墓地歇息，好几头围绕着一个小孩的坟墓。我曾对她一腔柔情，那年夏天是在旭日东升的前一刻，那孩子死去了，我如同当年那样望着牛群。 2010年专八真题作文参考答案 The important role of a city’s local conditions in the urban design Recently there is a hot debate on a report that a foreign design company invited by a little-known mountainous area in Guiyang provided a design without paying too much attention to the city’s unique characteristics. Some people appreciate the bold innovation of the design but others do not like it. In my opinion, any urban design should take the city’s original cultural heritage into account. The designers should suit their design to local conditions and try to take advantage of the local resources.

暨南大学 翻译硕士考研经验
首先因为暨大没有参考书目，很多消息资源多亏了high研上的经验贴，所以决定如果自己考上了，也来写一篇经验贴回馈社会。现在考上暨大了，我来还个愿~ 关于择校： 在选择学校这一方面确实纠结了很久，首先，个人比较在意地域问题，觉得学语言的话在一线城市机会比较多（内心比较拒绝当老师考公务员嘻嘻），所以基本上只考虑大城市。其次，择校方向包括外语类院校（如北外上外广外川外），985院校（如厦大中山大学华东师范），211院校（如暨大南师大），如果你想要实打实的学好翻译，外字头的几所语言类院校当然是比较好的，如果你更在意学历，就根据自己的水平选择冲985还是211。 二、复习介绍 开始两个月都呆在家里学习，不过效率没有很高，因为床就在旁边...但至少保证每天5-7小时学习时间。9月份回到学校，课能逃就逃（这不是好榜样别学我），每天泡图书馆，从早晨七点多一直呆到晚上九点闭馆。平均一天学习9-10小时。（非常不建议熬夜，这样影响第二天学习状态，最后恶性循环）每天的节奏基本一致：早晨看政治和百科，饭后站在走廊背百科、翻译词条，下午练翻译，晚上基础英语。接下来我分科目介绍一下备考情况 政治：（如果政治比较有把握，可以忽略这一段，因为政治没有考很好）作为一个理科生，政治这门课可以说是很痛苦的了，就怕栽在政治上，所以我7月份就开始复习政治了，笨鸟先飞~我周围很多人都是9月份开始准备最后跟我考得差不多甚至比我高很多，所以其实也完全来得及，因人而异。肖秀荣当然是考研政治的扛把子，跟好肖大大，问题就不大。我先是买了肖秀荣的精讲精练，李凡的《政治新时器》以及配套的1000题练习，打基础用的，每天花2个小时左右看几章再做配套选择题（建议配杯浓咖啡否则会睡着），前期不要花时间去看大题，浪费时间后期也会忘。一切的复习安排我尽量都严格按照计划，所以在10月份之前我完成了政治第一轮复习，当然，前面也忘得差不多了，我又买了很多人推荐的风中劲草，这本书全部是干货，不带一句废话，重点全部用颜色字体加粗标好好的，要做得就是尽量记忆里面的重点内容，但是我后来是真的记不住，看完第二遍就放弃了，结果考试的时候做选择题发现好多细节里面都有
