大学英语四级考试翻译题精选练习(27)
1. _______________ (随着工商业的发展),the number of trees in many big cities has dramatically reduced.
2. Travel can widen our knowledge, _____________ (扩大我们的眼界),and make one open-minded as well.
3. Cars are responsible for most of the smog in cities, _______________ (这已经对环境造成了严重的污染).
4.Modernization will be entirely possible in the first half of the 21st century, as long as we ________________(坚持认为)that economic development is the center of all our work. 5. He was convinced on the basis of ____________(当时已出现的情况)that there would be a long and difficult struggle.
1. With industries and business developing quickly
解析:本句意为:随着工商业的发展,许多大城市的树木数量正急剧减少。“随着……”要用介词with或along with。“工商业”既包括工业也包括商业,翻译时要注意译文的完整性。本句也可译成:With the quick development of industries and business.
2. broaden our horizon
解析:句中的短语widen our knowledge意思是“扩大我们的眼界”,make one open-minded是同义复指,它们表示相同的意思却在英语里使用不同的表达,以避免用词重复。这是英语行文的一个技巧,考生在翻译时应尽量避免 wordiness(用词累赘),这个技巧在写六级作文时也值得借鉴。本句还可以译成:expand our vision或extend our sight. 3. which has seriously polluted the environment
解析:“这已经对环境造成了严重的污染”中的“这”显然是指前半句提到的the smog in cities,这里需要的是一个非限制性定语从句,补充说明城市烟雾对环境的影响。本句还可以译成:which has brought serious pollution to the environment。
4. hold an idea/ insist on the idea/ stick to the idea
解析:本句意为:只要我们坚持以经济建设为中心,那么在21世纪上半叶实现现代化是完全可能的。本题考查固定短语“坚持认为”的说法。除了答案提供的说法外还有以下说法大家可以参考:persist in the idea/ persevere in the idea/ adhere to the idea等。 5. what had appeared by then
解析:“情况”在这里没必要直译成situation或case,本句含义是指基于当时的情况使他确信,因而可以用what引导作basis后置定语。还有一点需要注意的是,“当时已出现”要求我们在翻译时准确选择时态。by then与过去完成时态想一致,也可以用at that time。

整体而言,本次考试的翻译难度中等,与往年基本持平,主要侧重对词组的考察,对考生的语言基本功有较高的要求。大部分考点都是四六级的核心词汇和高频词组,所以只要考前充分复习,相信大部分考生都可以在考场上做到游刃有余。
82. With the oil prices ever rising, she tried to talk ______________(说服他不买车). 解析:做四六级翻译题的实质是补全句子,所以已给英文题干和中文部分都要仔细分析。说服某人,考生第一反应是persuade sb. into doing sth.,但是题干已给动词talk,所以考察点是talk sb. into doing sth.,考生如果对这个词组不熟悉,可以大胆套用persuade这个词组的格式。
参考答案:him into stopping buying a car.
83. ________________(保持幽默感有助于)reduce stress and promote creative thinking in today’s competitive society.
解析:考点有两个,“幽默感”和“有助于”。某方面的“感”,如正义感,责任感,在英语(论坛)中都用“sense”来表达,即sense of justice, sense of responsibility。“有助于”可用两种表达方式,be helpful to do sth., 或者help to do sth. 另外注意动词短语做主语,要转化为动名词形式,即keep表达为keeping。
参考答案:Keeping a sense of humor helps to
84. When confronted with the evidence, _______________(他不得不坦白自己的罪行). 解析:本题考察一个完整的主句,考点在于“坦白”和“罪行”两个单词的表达。
参考答案:he had to confess his crime.
85. When people say, “I can feel my ears burning”, it means they think___________________(一定有人在说他们的坏话).
解析:本题考察“说某人坏话”,六级高频词组,有两种表达方式,speak evil of sb.或者talk sb. behind one’s back.后者在我的课堂上曾经以周星驰电影中的经典翻译摘举中给大家讲过,很多同学考后致电,感到很开心。另外,推断某人一定在做某事,考察情态动词“must be doing sth.”。
参考答案:someone must be talking about them behind their back.
86. She has decided to go on a diet, but finds ___________________(很难抵制冰淇淋的诱惑) .
解析:本题考察词组“发现某事很难(find it hard/difficult to do sth.)”,以及高频词“抵制(resist)”和“诱惑(temptation)”
参考答案:it hard/difficult to resist the temptation of ice-cream.

大学英语四级考试翻译题精选练习(30)
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:You 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 You __________(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:You 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。
