2013年12月大学英语四六级改革新题型翻译专练(附答案)(强烈推荐)翻译题1. 澳门,南海之滨一颗闪耀的明珠,以她的风采、沧桑和辉煌,更以1999年12月20日这个不同寻常的日子,吸引着全世界的目光。

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。

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。

1997年7月1日,中华人民共和国恢复对香港行使主权。

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。

2.和平稳定是发展的前提和基础。

上个世纪,人类经历了两次世界大战,生灵涂炭,经济社会发展遭受严重挫折。

第二次世界大战结束以来,世界经济能够快速增长,主要得益于相对和平稳定的国际环境。

我们应该恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则,充分发挥联合国及其安理会在维护和平、缔造和平、建设和平方面的核心作用。

坚持通过对话和协商,以和平方式解决国际争端。

我们应该坚持国家不论大小、强弱、贫富都是国际社会平等一员,以民主、包容、合作、共赢的精神实现共同安全,做到一国内部的事情一国自主办、大家共同的事情大家商量办,坚定不移奉行多边主义和国际合作,推进国际关系民主化。

3.如果说我确实有所成就的话,那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就会成功。

遇到挫折时,你可以暂时把问题放一放,一味纠结不仅无济于事,有时反倒使情况更糟。

先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番;再回头看待问题,你或许会感到柳暗花明。

这样做后,别忘了多加反省:“为什么这个方法会奏效?下次能不能做得更好呢?”看你定的是什么目标,这种方法可以被反复有效应用。

如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己,最后成功肯定非你莫属。

孜孜不倦向来无敌。

4.关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。

一个是唐朝的神话故事,说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。

有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中,巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。

大学英语六级(2013年12月考试改革适用)模拟试卷179(题后含答案及解析)

大学英语六级(2013年12月考试改革适用)模拟试卷179(题后含答案及解析)题型有:1. Writing 2. Listening Comprehension 3. Reading Comprehension 4. TranslationPart I Writing1.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss how to get rid of this phenomenon. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案:Caution, Diploma Mills As is shown in the picture, a representative from a private higher learning institution is trying to recruit a student with a big cage the way a hunter does to his prey. What this picture wants to convey is that nowadays some unqualified colleges, also called diploma mills, are trying to recruit more students despite their own accreditation. A diploma mill sells college diplomas that require little or no academic work. Usually these un-reputable, unaccredited colleges love to prey on those suffering a setback in National College Entrance Examination. In most cases, these students are helpless and eager to catch any opportunity to further education. Hence it is easy for these colleges to take advantage of them. What’s more, it’s no wonder parents and students fell into that trap from time to time since these colleges are titled elegant names, and boast hosting one of the most renowned faculties in the world. In my opinion, scrutiny, regulation and law enforcement involving diploma mills should be honed and enhanced. Besides, parents and students themselves should be more alert and make a thorough investigation before deciding on which university to attend.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文:W: Good afternoon, Dr. Bishop. Do you have a couple of minutes? You see, I have some difficulty with my project. M: Sure. You have about 10 minutes before I leave for my lecture. What is your problem? W: Our team has finished the observations of the children. Should we just put the notes down or should we do some further research and draw a conclusion? M: Well, first, you mentioned children.(1)What I require is to make observations of the same child, at different time and different locations. W: Oh dear! We must have misunderstood the requirement. Does that mean we must do the observations from the very beginning? M: I’m afraid so.(2)Then, after that, what you need to do is to study your notes, and see what kindof behavior is influenced by the environment and what kind of behavior is not affected. You should put your findings in the paper and you also need to find published theories that support your conclusion. W: Dr. Bishop, is it possible that we submit the paper a few days later, just in case that we can’t make it? M:(3-1)The deadline I put in the assignment is for the presentation. You may need to make some amendments before handing in the paper. W: Presentation? What’s wrong with us? No one in our team has ever mentioned the presentation. There is no way we can make the deadline! M:(4)If everyone in your team shares the assignment, say each works on a chapter of the paper, then one takes the job of editing PPT and one prepares for the oral presentation, and if you all work hard enough, (3-2)I’m sure you can make the deadline. W: I’m afraid we don’t have other choices. Thank you, Dr. Bishop.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. How should the students carry out the observations? 2.

How can I be of assistance?M: You see, I’m a first-year student here and I missed my orientation.(5)Before I attend my first lecture, I need to finish the reading assignment of my professor and I really don’t know how to locate them in the library. W: OK. Let me take a look. It’s really a long list. Maybe the computerized catalog can save you some time. M: You mean the computers like this?W: Yes. You can find the computer terminals on each floor. Let me show you how to use the system. M: OK. Thank you. W: Before you start to search the whereabouts of a book, you need to know at least some accurate information of the book, like the author or the title.(6)First, log in the system with your student ID, then put the information in the box. Press the search button. You can see clearly where the book is now. M: I see.(7)So this means the book Introductory Psychology I need is on the second floor of the east wing? W: Yes.M: What does this red-letter word “ reserved” mean? W: Oh, this means that you can only read the book in the library and you can’t take them out.(8)Usually requirements like this are made by the professor so that all the students can have a chance to read the book. M: Yes, of course. I learned that I can keep the book I borrowed for three weeks and before the book is due, I can renew it if necessary. Is it correct? W: Yes, but you can only renew once.

What if they don’t need the Internet to pull data out of the facility’s computers? Instead, they can just infect an office printer and—with software alone—turn it into a radio. This sounds like sci-fi, but it’s now possible.(9)Security researchers at a Manhattan startup have discovered how to make any modern device—printer, washing machine, air conditioner—broadcast invisible, inaudible signals for miles. That’s a game changer—and a huge step forward for hackers. The rapidly expanding $77 billion cybersecurity industry is all about guarding computer networks. Companies and governments buy products to stay protected. But they keep running out of effective defensive options. That’s where Ang Cui and his team of bright researchers come in. They found a way to sneak data out of a computer network without setting off any alarms.(10)It’s groundbreaking research, because it also hints at the ability to steal data from computers that aren’t even connected to the Internet, like those at nuclear facilities. Last week, the team at Red Balloon Security demonstrated how it works to several news reporters. They infected a Pantum laser printer and toyed with its circuits, making it do something it was never meant to. By quickly switching a chip’s energy output back and forth, the printer emits electromagnetic radiation. The Red Balloon team calls it a “funtenna”.(11)In fact, one of the only ways to detect this highly advanced tactic is by walking around with an AM radio. If you get near a device and the radio static is interrupted by loud beeping, it’s secretly transmitting radio signals.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9. Who discovered the new technology of making any modern device broadcast invisible signals? 10. Why is the new hacking tactic groundbreaking? 11. What is the best way to protect people from the new hacking tactic?10.A.Some senior hackers.B.The government agencies.C.The security researchers.D.The game players.正确答案:C11.A.Because it costs $ 77 billion to develop.B.Because it even puts data in offline devices in danger.C.Because it aims at nuclear facilities and military bases.D.Because it is revealed to reporters and the public.正确答案:B12.A.Cutting all the devices from the Internet.B.Stopping using all the advanced laser printers.C.Installing the high-tech anti-hacking softwares.D.Using an AM radio to detect the signals.正确答案:D听力原文:(12-1)Swedish fathers from next year will receive a third month of paid paternity leave in order to increase gender equality, the Swedish government has announced.(13)A 16-month parental leave, which can be used anytime up until the child turns eight, is already offered to parents who can share this time between them. Up until now, two of the months have been reserved specifically for fathers. But under the proposals, both mothers and fathers must take at least three months off, or risk losing these months, meaning that mothers cannot claims the months reserved specifically for fathers. Swedish parents receive 80% of their salary while on parental leave, reports Swedish news site the Local, which tops at around 4,000 per month. A third month “ is something we’ve really looked forward to,” Social Security Minister Annika Strandhall told Swedish Radio.(12-2)”We know that this is a key issue towards attaining greater gender equality. “(14)In contrast to Sweden’s liberal attitudes, the U. K. only offers fathers two weeks of dedicated paid leave, while the U. S. offers none whatsoever. In Canada, only one in ten fathers claims paternity leave. Some 80% of children in Sweden have two working parents, but only around 40% of women work full-time compared to some 75% of men.(15)The proposal appears to be popular among Swedish men. Close to 90% of Swedish fathers currently take paternity leave, according to The Economist, and since Swedish men started to take more responsibility for child rearing, women have seen both their incomes and levels of self-reported happiness increase.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12. Why does the government increase fathers’ paid paternity leave?13. What is the requirement of the Swedish parental leave? 14. How long do U. K. fathers take for dedicated paid paternity leave? 15. According to the passage, what do Swedish men think of the new policy?13.A.To solve economic problem.B.To increase gender equality.C.To follow the international trend.D.To increase the number of population.正确答案:B14.A.Only mothers can take the paid parental leave.B.No parental leave can be taken after the child is 8.C.Only families of two working parents can enjoy the paid leave.D.Parents must reserve the paid parental leave in advance.正确答案:B15.A.For 2 weeks.B.For 10 weeks.C.For 2 months.D.For 3 months.正确答案:A16.A.They worry about the salary cut.B.They show favor to taking the leave.C.They think women should benefit more.D.They feel more responsibility on them.正确答案:BSection C听力原文:Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.Moderator: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, it gives me a great honor to introduce our speaker for today’s lecture, Dr. Thomas Wood. Dr. Wood, professor of sociology at University of California, has written numerous articles and books on the topic of(16)interpersonal relationship, which troubles most people nowadays. Welcome, Dr. Wood. Dr. Wood: I have heard lots of complaints from friends that they feel unsafe and upset about everyday life. A difficult relationship, a stressful lifestyle, a fast pace of life and some tough situations to deal with. Before I give my reply, I just think about it for a while. What’s the source of so much unhappiness? What sounds or impressions are you making on the people around you? Think about it. Your words, phrases, even your message may soon be forgotten but believe me, good or bad, your melody lingers. An odd choice of phrase? Not really. The dictionarydefines “melody” as a succession of sounds, and what is life other than the combining and blending of a succession of movements and sounds. Just as a musical composition affects the moods and emotions of people who hear it, so does the way you live your life. (17)Think of your life as a blank sheet of manuscript paper. Only the rhythm is there—it is up to you to create the harmony. Naturally you will want your composition to be a success, a chart buster even a Symphony—something to be remembered with pleasure. So where to begin? You must begin with yourself.(18)Have the right attitude, enjoy life, and most importantly, be optimistic about the future. Be genuinely interested in other people. Make a conscience effort to bring peace and happiness into other people’s lives. Avoid situations that generate excessive ambition, envy, anger and pride. They are all enemies of peace and will ruin your harmony. It has been said that if these emotions or feelings were banished, the world would live in perpetual peace. Well, to banish them from the world is probably aiming a bit high but it shouldn’t be too difficult to rid them from your own life. Develop traits such as tact, diplomacy, compassion and sensitivity. These attributes are invaluable in enhancing not only your own life but the lives of those around you.(19)Everything you do has an effect on those around you. The way you move, whether you smile or frown. You are capable of making someone’s day bright or miserable. Take time to listen to other people. If there are too many discords and not enough harmony in their lives, encourage them to have a brighter outlook. Throughout the world most people are striving for peace. From the family unit seated around the dinner table to world leaders at the conference table, the name of the game is the pursuit of peace. So, let us all play our part in composing the rhythm of life by consciously choosing peace and harmony in our daily lives to create a harmonious universe. If one of the suggestions I give you today is helpful to you in the future, I will feel really happy for giving you this speech. Thank you very much!16. What does the introduction part say about interpersonal relationship?17. What does Dr. Wood tell us to think of our life as? 18. What is the most important thing to begin with ourselves? 19. What does Dr. Wood say about the way we move?17.A.It is a kind of social problem.B.It has a bad impact on mental health.C.It makes people less effective at work.D.It troubles most people nowadays.正确答案:D18.A.A song.B.A piece of paper.C.A poem.D.An article.正确答案:B19.A.Have the right attitude.B.Enjoy life.C.Be optimistic.D.Work hard.正确答案:C20.A.It gives an important impression on others.B.It has an impact on people around you.C.It shows whether you are happy or not.D.It is likely to be followed by other people.正确答案:B听力原文:Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22. Many people who drink alcohol also like to smoke cigarettes. Drinking and smoking seem to be closely linked. Some people might even say they go together hand-in-hand. But this may be more than just a mixing of two fairly common activities.(20)New research has looked more closely at the relationship between cigarettes and alcohol. And the relationship is one of equal dependence. Smoking and drinking seem to feed on each other. These are the exact words of Mahesh Thakkar. He is head of research in the Department of Neurology at the University of Missouri’s School of Medicine. Thakkar explains that when a person drinks alcohol he gets sleepy. He says a drug in cigarettes fights that sleepy feeling. That drug, nicotine, can be addictive: smokers need more cigarettes because of their body’s growing dependence on the drug. So, if a person smokes, then he or she is much more likely to drink alcohol, and vice versa. Researchers already knew that people who use alcohol often smoke. In fact, earlier research shows that more than 85 percent of alcohol-dependent American adults also depend on nicotine. Thakkar’s earlier research showed that nicotine combined with alcohol stimulates what he calls the reward center of the brain. However, the new study shows a dependent relationship between the substances.(21)Thakkar says his team finds that nicotine weakens the sleep-causing effects of alcohol. It does this by activating an area of the brain called the basal forebrain. According to the Psychology Definition website, that area is responsible for memory, learning and attention. For this new experiment, Thakkar and his team used equipment that measures brain activity in rats. They injected the rats with both nicotine and alcohol, and then studied brain activity in the animals as they slept. The researchers found that nicotine goes through the basal forebrain and cancels out the sleep-causing effects of alcohol. The World Health Organization says 7 million people die every year from alcohol and nicotine use.(22)Mahesh Thakker and his team identified why alcohol use and smoking are often linked. He says this knowledge may help people break their addictions to alcohol and nicotine.20. What’s the relationship between cigarettes andalcohol? 21. What do Thakkar and his team find out about nicotine?22. How can Thakkar and his team’s finding benefit people?21.A.They always go together hand-in-hand.B.Alcohol-dependent teens will not depend on nicotine.C.It is one of equal dependence.D.People who don’t use alcohol often smoke.正确答案:C22.A.It damages an area of the brain called the basal forebrain.B.It doesn’t stimulate the reward center of the brain.C.It can cause people to get addicted to alcohol.D.It weakens the sleep-causing effects of alcohol.正确答案:D23.A.It helps people understand the basal forebrain.B.It will promote studies on people’s brain activity.C.It may help people break addictions to alcohol and nicotine.D.It can prevent people from getting alcohol-caused sleepy.正确答案:C听力原文:Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25. I’m 71. My husband is 76. My parents are in their late 90s, and Olivia, the dog, is 16. So let’s talk about aging. Mary Oliver says in one of her poems, “ Tell me, what is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”Me, I intend to live passionately. (23)When do we start aging? Society decides when we are old, usually around 65, when we get Medicare, but we really start aging at birth. We are aging right now, and we all experience it differently. We all feel younger than our real age, because the spirit never ages. I am still 17. What have I lost in the last decades? People, of course, places, and the boundless energy of my youth, and I’m beginning to lose independence, and that scares me. (24)What have I gained? Freedom—I don’t have to prove anything anymore. I’m not stuck in the idea of who I was, who I want to be, or what other people expect me to be. My body may be falling apart, but my brain is not, yet. I love my brain. I feel lighter. This is Grace Dammann. She has been in a wheelchair for six years after a terrible car accident. She says that there is nothing more sensual than a hot shower, that every drop of water is a blessing to the senses. She doesn’t see herself as disabled. In her mind, she’s still surfing in the ocean.(25)So how can I stay passionate? I cannot will myself to be passionate at 71. I have been training for some time, and when I feel flat and bored, Ifake it. Attitude. How do I train? I train by saying yes to whatever comes my way: drama, comedy, tragedy, love, death, losses. Yes to life. And I train by trying to stay in love. It doesn’t always work, but you cannot blame me for trying. And, on a final note, retirement in Spanish is celebration. We have contributed to society. Now it’s our time, and it’s a great time. Unless you are ill or very poor, you have choices. I have chosen to stay passionate, engaged with an open heart. I am working on it every day. Want to join me?23. What does the speaker say about aging? 24. How does the speaker feel when she gets old? 25. How does the speaker stay passionate to life?24.A.The society can’t decide when people are old.B.The aged are not in need of medical care.C.People of all ages are now aging.D.Aging is greatly affected by genes.正确答案:C25.A.She has lost too many precious things.B.She begins to gain the freedom.C.She can’t take care of herself any more.D.She feels her brain is falling apart.正确答案:B26.A.She learns from the disabled old ladies.B.She tries to have a positive attitude towards everything.C.She never feels flat or bored in her whole life.D.She thinks retirement is celebration to old people.正确答案:BPart III Reading ComprehensionSection AFor authors of self-help guides, no human problem is too great or too small.

2013年12月大学英语六级改革后的段落翻译(汉译英)练习与解析及解题技巧_2资料

2013年12月大学英语六级改革后的段落翻译(汉译英)练习与解析及解题技巧_2资料

自2013年12月考试起,全国大学英语六级考试的翻译部分将由原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英,翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等题材,文章长度为180-200个汉字。

以下是大学英语六级考试翻译部分的大纲样题:中国新年是中国最重要的传统节日,在中国也被称为春节。

新年的庆祝活动从除夕开始一直延续到元宵节(the Lantern Festival),即从农历(lunar calendar)最后一个月的最后一天至新年第一个月的第十五天。

各地欢度春节的习俗和传统有很大差异,但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚,一起吃年夜饭。

为驱厄运、迎好运,家家户户都会进行大扫除。

人们还会在门上粘贴红色的对联(couplets),对联的主题为健康、发财和好运。

其他的活动还有放鞭炮、发红包和探访亲友等。

首先,这段关于中国春节的小文章难词较多,比如“传统”、“庆祝活动”、“除夕”、“延续”、“习俗”、“年夜饭”、“厄运”、“大扫除”“主题”、“放鞭炮”、“发红包”等等,这些词有的比较抽象,有的不太常见,或者有的是中国特有的说法,英文中没有明确对应的词,考生在翻译时应该抓住词的根本意思。

其次,长句也较多,考生要想把它翻译准确、通顺,不仅需要单词量和单词拼写过关,还需要掌握语法,分析句子成分,学会中英文转换的技巧。

如果说原来的大学英语六级考试的翻译部分需要考生掌握词和句的翻译,将信息进行简单的一对一式的传输的话,那么现在的大学英语六级考试的翻译部分则要求考生以词、句的翻译为基础,扩大到对整体段落的翻译的把握,与之前考查的句子翻译完全不同了。

第二部分:翻译技巧为了帮助广大考生从容应对翻译题型,我们将分别从词、句的翻译角度进行分析,帮助考生掌握翻译技巧和要点。

(一)词的翻译1.词义选择所谓词义选择,是指词本来就有这个意思,问题是要我们将其在特定场合的正确意思选出来。

正确选词是保证译文质量的重要环节,如果能做到在词语意义和字面形式上都对等当然最好,如果不能兼顾,则取意义,舍形式。

2013年12月大学英语六级改革后的段落翻译(汉译英)练习与解析及解题技巧 2

自2013年12月考试起,全国大学英语六级考试的翻译部分将由原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英,翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等题材,文章长度为180-200个汉字。

以下是大学英语六级考试翻译部分的大纲样题:中国新年是中国最重要的传统节日,在中国也被称为春节。

新年的庆祝活动从除夕开始一直延续到元宵节(the Lantern Festival),即从农历(lunar calendar)最后一个月的最后一天至新年第一个月的第十五天。

各地欢度春节的习俗和传统有很大差异,但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚,一起吃年夜饭。

为驱厄运、迎好运,家家户户都会进行大扫除。

人们还会在门上粘贴红色的对联(couplets),对联的主题为健康、发财和好运。

其他的活动还有放鞭炮、发红包和探访亲友等。

首先,这段关于中国春节的小文章难词较多,比如“传统”、“庆祝活动”、“除夕”、“延续”、“习俗”、“年夜饭”、“厄运”、“大扫除”“主题”、“放鞭炮”、“发红包”等等,这些词有的比较抽象,有的不太常见,或者有的是中国特有的说法,英文中没有明确对应的词,考生在翻译时应该抓住词的根本意思。

其次,长句也较多,考生要想把它翻译准确、通顺,不仅需要单词量和单词拼写过关,还需要掌握语法,分析句子成分,学会中英文转换的技巧。

如果说原来的大学英语六级考试的翻译部分需要考生掌握词和句的翻译,将信息进行简单的一对一式的传输的话,那么现在的大学英语六级考试的翻译部分则要求考生以词、句的翻译为基础,扩大到对整体段落的翻译的把握,与之前考查的句子翻译完全不同了。

第二部分:翻译技巧为了帮助广大考生从容应对翻译题型,我们将分别从词、句的翻译角度进行分析,帮助考生掌握翻译技巧和要点。

(一)词的翻译1.词义选择所谓词义选择,是指词本来就有这个意思,问题是要我们将其在特定场合的正确意思选出来。

正确选词是保证译文质量的重要环节,如果能做到在词语意义和字面形式上都对等当然最好,如果不能兼顾,则取意义,舍形式。

This list is an attempt to quantify the elusive but important quality of 29 in higher education—with its findings 30 the opinions of academics around the world.The fast such ranking by the Times Higher Education magazine, published last year, had the same top five as this year—with the two Boston-based 31 , Harvard and M1T, in first and second place.Cambridge was once again the highest ranking U.K. university in third place, 32 Stanford and University of California, Berkeley. But Phil Baty, editor of the Times Higher Education rankings, says there is an 33 picture of U.K. universities downwards—with fewer in the top 100 and a 34 for others including Imperial College London and University College London. "Our global reputation as the home of outstanding universities has been hit," he said.Reflecting the rise of Asian countries as the new education superpowers, there is an increasing presence for countries such as People’s Republic of China, Japan, Singapore and SouthKorea.35 its size and population, Switzerland is also seen as performing well, with three universities in the world’s top 100 universities.Such rankings published by the Times Higher Education magazine do not have an official status, but they have become an increasingly significant part of how universities market themselves to students, particularly as higher education has become more globalized.Part ⅢReading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

The slight changes in the numbers are not considered 41 significant, Catalyst said.Nevertheless, given the changes in U.

Get newSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How Marketers Target KidsA) Kids represent an important demographic to marketers because they have their own purchasing power, they influencetheir parents’ buying decisions and they are the adult consumers of the future. Industry spending on advertising to children has exploded in the past decade, increasing from a mere $100 million in 1990 to more than $2 billion in 2000.B) Parents today are willing to buy more for their kids because trends such as smaller family size, dual incomes and postponing children until later in life mean that families have more disposable income. As well, guilt can play a role in spending decisions as time-stressed parents substitute material goods for time spent with their kids. Here are some of the strategies marketers employ to target kids:Pester(纠缠)PowerC) Today’s kids have more autonomy and decision-making power within the family than in previous generations, so it follows that kids are vocal about what they want their parents to buy. "Pester power" refers to children’ ability to nag their parents into purchasing items they may not otherwise buy. Marketing to children is all about creating pester power, because advertisers know what a powerful force it can be.D) According to the 2001 marketing industry book Kidfluence, pestering or nagging can be divided into two categories —"persistence" and "importance". Persistence nagging (a plea, that is repeated over and over again) is not as effective as the more sophisticated "importance nagging". This latter method appeals to parents’ desire to pr ovide the best for their children, and plays on any guilt they may have about not having enough time for their kids.The Marriage of Psychology and MarketingE) To effectively market to children, advertisers need to know what makes kids tick. With the help of well-paid researchers and psychologists, advertisers now have access to in-depth knowledge about children’s developmental, emotional and social needs at different ages. Using research that analyzes children’s behaviour, fantasy’ lives, art work, even their dreams, companies are able to craft sophisticated marketing strategies to reach young people.F) The issue of using child psychologists to help marketers target kids gained widespread public attention in 1999, when a group of U. S. mental health professionals issued a public letter to the American Psychological Association (APA) urging them to declare the practice unethical. The APA is currently studying the issue.Building Brand Name LoyaltyG) Canadian author Naomi Klein tracks the birth of "brand" marketing in her 2000 book No Logo. According to Klein, the mid-1980s saw the birth of a new kind of corporation—Nike, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, to name a few—which changed their primary corporate focus from producing products to creating an image for their brand name. By moving their manufacturing operations to countries with cheap labour, they freed up money to create their powerful marketing messages. It has been a tremendously profitable formula, and has led to the creation of some of the most wealthy and powerful multi-national corporations the world has seen.H) Marketers plant the seeds of brand recognition in very young children, in the hopes that the seeds will grow into lifetime relationships. According to the Center for a New American Dream, babies as young as six months of age can form mental images of corporate logos and mascots. Brand loyalties can be established as early as age two, and by the time children head off to school most can recognize hundreds of brand logos. While fast food, toy and clothingcompanies have been cultivating brand recognition in children for years, adult-oriented businesses such as banks and automakers are now getting in on the act.Buzz or Street MarketingI) The challenge for marketers is to cut through the intense advertising clutter( 杂乱) in young people’s lives. Many companies are using "buzz marketing" —a new twist on the tried-and-true "word of mouth" method. The idea is to find the coolest kids in a community and have them use or wear your product in order to create a buzz around it. Buzz, or "street marketing", as it’s also called, can help a company to successfully connect with the elusive (难找的) teen market by using trendsetters to give them products "cool" status.J) Buzz marketing is particularly well-suited to the Internet, where young "Net promoters" use chat rooms and blogs to spread the word about music, clothes and other products among unsuspecting users.Commercialization in EducationK) School used to be a place where children were protected from the advertising and consumer messages that permeated their world—but not anymore. Budget shortfalls ( 亏空,差额) are forcing school boards to allow corporations access to students in exchange for badly needed cash, computers and educational materials.L) Corporations realize the power of the school environment for promoting their name and products. A school setting deliversa captive youth audience and implies the endorsement of teachers and the educational system. Marketers are eagerly exploiting this medium in a number of ways, including: 1) sponsored educational materials; 2) supplying schools with technology in exchange for high company visibility; 3) advertising posted in classrooms, school buses, on computers in exchange for funds; 4) contests and incentive programs: for example, the Pizza Hut reading incentives program in which children receive certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal; 5) sponsoring school events.The InternetM) The Internet is an extremely desirable medium for marketers wanting to target children. It’s part of youth culture. This generation of young people is growing up with the Internet as a daily and routine part of their lives. Kids are often online alone, without parental supervision. Unlike broadcasting media, which have codes regarding advertising to kids, the Internet is unregulated. Sophisticated technologies make it easy to collect information from young people for marketing research, and to target individual children with personalized advertising.Marketing Adult Entertainment to KidsN) Children are often aware of and want to see entertainment meant for older audiences because it is actively marketed to them. In a report released in 2000, the U. S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed how the movie, music and video games industries routinely market violent entertainment to young children.O) The FTC studied 44 films rated "Restricted", and discovered that 80 per cent were targeted to children under 17. Marketing plans included TV commercials run during hours when young viewers were most likely to be watching. The FTC report also highlighted the fact that toys based on characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children. Mature rated video games are advertised in youth magazines; and toys based on "Restricted" movies and M-rated video games are marketed to children as young as four.46. Guilt can affect parents’ spending decisions because they don’t have enough time for theirkids.47. The Center for a New American Dream pointed out that brand loyalties could be formed as early as age two.48. School boards allow corporations to access to students because they need money and educational materials badly.49. The FTC report highlighted the fact that toys based on characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children.50. For this generation of young people, the Interact is a daily and routine part of their lives.51. According to Kidfluence, "persistence nagging" is less effective than the more sophisticated "importance nagging".52. According to a report released by the U. S. Federal Trade Commission, the movie, music and video games industries usually market violent entertainment to young children.53. Buzz marketing is well-suited to the Internet because the interactive environment can spread messages effectively.54. A group of U. S. mental health professionals think that it is unethical to use child psychologists to help marketers target kids.55. According to the Pizza Hut reading incentives program, children will receive certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Like most people, I’ve long underst ood that I will be judged by my occupation, that my profession is a gauge people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person.Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve foodto people, I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they’d never say or do to their most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned ( ⽰意) me back with his finger a minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I’d been.I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon (勤杂⼯) by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waitin g to be served.Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked—cordially.I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry.It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and f ortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to cater to others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant.I’m now applying to graduate school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them.56. The author was disappointed to find that ________.A) one’s position is used as a gauge to measure one’s intelligenceB) talented people like her should fail to get a respectable jobC) one’s occupation affects the way one is treated as a personD) professionals tend to look down upon manual workers57. What does the author intend to say by the example in the second paragraph?A) Some customers simply show no respect to those who serve them.B) People absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent-minded.C) Waitresses are often treated by customers as casual acquaintances.D) Some customers like to make loud complaints for no reason at all.58. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?A) She felt it unfair to be treated as a mere servant by professionals.B) She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.C) She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.D) She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.59. What does the author imply by saying ". . . many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant" (Line 3, Para. 7)?A) Those who cater to others’ needs are destined to be looked down upon.B) Those work ing in the service industry shouldn’t be treated as servants.C) Those serving others have to put up with rough treatment to earn a living.D) The majority of customers tend to look on a servant as a server nowadays.60. The author says she’ll one day take her clients to dinner in order to ________.A) see what kind of person they areB) experience the feeling of being servedC) show her generosity towards people inferior to herD) arouse their sympathy for people living a humble lifePassage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.What’s hot for 2007 among the very rich? A $7.3 million diamond ring. A trip to Tanzania to hunt wild animals. Oh, and income inequality.Sure, some leftish billionaires like George Soros have been railing against income inequality for years. But increasingly, centrist and right-wing billionaires are starting to worry about income inequality and the fate of the middle class.In December, Mortimer Zuckerman wrote a column in U. S. News & World Report, which lie owns. "Our nation’s core bargain with the middle class is disintegrating, " lamented (哀叹) the117th-riehest man in America. "Most of our economic gains have gone to people at the very top of the income ladder. Average income for a household of people of working age, by contrast, has fallen five years in a row. " He noted that "Tens of millions of Americans live in fear that a major health problem can reduce them to bankruptcy. "Wilbur Ross Jr. has echoed Zuckerman’s anger over the bitter struggles faced by middle-class Americans. "It’s an outrage that any American’s life expectancy should be shortened simply because the company they worked for went bankrupt and ended health-care coverage, " said the former chairman of the International Steel Group.What’s happening? The very rich are just as trendy as you and I, and can be so when it comes to politics and policy. Given the recent change of control in Congress, the popularity of measures like increasing the minimum wage, and efforts by California’s governor to offer universal health care, these guys don’t need their own personal weathermen to know which way the wind blows.It’s possible that plutocrats (有钱有势的⼈) are expressing solidarity with the struggling middle class as part of an effort to insulate themselves from confiscatory (没收性的) tax policies. But the prospect that income inequality will lead to higher taxes on the wealthy doesn’t keep plutocrats up at night. They can live with that.No, what they fear was that the political challenges of sustaining support for global economic integration will be more difficult in the United States because of what has happened to the distribution of income and economic insecurity.In other words, if middle-class Americans continue to struggle financially as the ultrawealthy grow ever wealthier, it will be increasingly difficult to maintain political support for the free flow of goods, services, and capital across borders. And when the United States places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods, it’s likely to encourage reciprocal action abroad. For people who buy and sell companies, or who allocate capital to markets all around the world, that’s the real nightmare.61. What is the current topic of common interest among the very rich in America?A) The fate of the ultrawealthy people.B) The disintegration of the middle class.C) The inequality in the distribution of wealth.D) The conflict between the left and the right wing.62. What do we learn from Mortimer Zuckerman’s lamentation?A) Many middle-income families have failed to make a bargain for better welfare.B) The American economic system has caused many companies to go bankrupt.C) The American nation is becoming more and more divided despite its wealth.D) The majority of Americans benefit little from the nation’s growing wealth.63. From the fifth paragraph we can learn that ________.A) the very rich are fashion-consciousB) the very rich are politically sensitiveC) universal health care is to be implemented throughout AmericaD) Congress has gained popularity by increasing the minimum wage64. What is the real reason for plutocrats to express solidarity with the middle class?A) They want to protect themselves from confiscatory taxation.B) They know that the middle class contributes most to society.C) They want to gain support for global economic integration.D) They feel increasingly threatened by economic insecurity.65. What may happen if the United States places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods?A) The prices of imported goods will inevitably soar beyond control.B) The investors will have to make great efforts to reallocate capital.C) The wealthy will attempt to buy foreign companies across borders.D) Foreign countries will place the same economic barriers in return.Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.中医(Traditional Chinese Medicine)是中华⽂化不可分割的⼀部分,为振兴华夏做出了巨⼤的贡献。

2013年12月英语四级改革后新题型汉译英

1. 挖掘考点:由样题可以看出,翻译题越来越重视中国的历史、文化,也就是越来越接地气。

所以,建议考生有意识的积累和背诵一些和中国节日、历史事件、经济和社会发展相关的词汇。

关注以反映中国社会为主的一些英文杂志和报纸。

例如中国日报及其网站。

大家每天看看网站中头条新闻,配合中文新闻的背景,就可以学到很多表达。

推荐一个中国日报网站下面的一个小栏目:language tips,有大量简单实用的双语文章。

2. 实战演练:【汉译英1】波士顿咨询公司最近做的一项研究显示,到2020年中国将会有2.2亿家庭收入在2万到100万美元的富裕消费者。

这些消费者中75%住在“较小城市”。

随着网络的发展,较小城市的消费者的一种必然趋势是他们更加依赖社交网络服务上的信息。

很多网络顾客都是通过微信、微博和QQ空间分组的。

据估计今年中国将会有2.5亿消费者进行网购,位于四线城市的消费者平均每人会花费他们50%或者更高的工资在网购上,这一数据要比一线城市的消费者的花费高。

【参考译文】A recent study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group says there will be 220 million affluent consumers, who are from households earning between $ 20,000 to $ 1 million, in China by 2020, and 75 percent of them will live in “smaller” cities. With the development of the Internet, an inevitable trend among these consumers is they are much more dependent on information from social networking services. Many of the website’s customers are “grouped” by Wechat, Weibo and QQ Zones. It is now estimated that 250 million Chinese consumers will shop online this year and the average shopper in a fourth-tier city in China will spend 50 percent or more of their income on e-commerce than those in top-tier cities.【汉译英2】聘金是中国传统习俗的一部分。

)Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.How Marketers Target Kids[A] Kids represent an important demographic to marketers because they have their own purchasing power, they influence their parents# buying decisions and they are the adult consumers of the future. Industry spending on advertising to children has exploded in the past decade, increasing from a mere $100 million in 1990 to more than $2 billion in 2000.[B] Parents today are willing to buy more for their kids because trends such as smaller family size, dual incomes and postponing children until later in life mean that families have more disposable income. As well, guilt can play a role in spending decisions as time-stressed parents substitute material goods for time spent with their kids. Here are some of the strategies marketers employ to target kids: Pester(纠缠)Power[C] Today’s kids have more autonomy and decision-making power within the family than in previous generations, so it follows that kids are vocal about what they want their parents to buy. “Pester power”refers to children’s ability to nag their parents into purchasing items they may not otherwise buy. Marketing to children is all about creating pester power, because advertisers know what a powerful force it can be.[D] According to the 2001 marketing industry book Kidfluence, pestering or nagging can be divided into two categories—“persistence”and “importance”. Persistence nagging (a plea, that is repeated over and over again) is not as effective as the more sophi sticated “importance nagging”. This latter method appeals to parents’ desire to provide the best for their children, and plays on any guilt they may have about not having enough time for their kids.The Marriage of Psychology and Marketing[E] To effectively market to children, advertisers need to know what makes kids tick. With the help of well-paid researchers and psychologists, advertisers now have access to in-depth knowledge about children’s developmental, emotional and social needs at different ages. Using research that analyzes children’s behaviour, fantasy lives, art work, even their dreams, companies are able to craft sophisticated marketing strategies to reach young people.The issue of using child psychologists to help marketers target kids gained widespread public attention in 1999, when a group of U.S. mental healthprofessionals issued a public letter to the American Psychological Association (APA) urging them to declare the practice unethical. The APA is currently studying the issue.Building Brand Name Loyalty[G] Canadian author Naomi Klein tracks the birth of “brand”marketing in her 2000 book No Logo. According to Klein, the mid-1980s saw the birth of a new kind of corporation—Nike, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, to name a few—which changed their primary corporate focus from producing products to creating an image for their brand name. By moving their manufacturing operations to countries with cheap labour, they freed up money to create their powerful marketing messages. It has been a tremendously profitable formula, and has led to the creation of some of the most wealthy and powerful multi-national corporations the world has seen.[H] Marketers plant the seeds of brand recognition in very young children, in the hopes that the seeds will grow into lifetime relationships. According to the Center for a New American Dream, babies as young as six months of age can form mental images of corporate logos and mascots. Brand loyalties can be established as early as age two, and by the time children head off to school most can recognize hundreds of brand logos. While fast food, toy and clothing companies have been cultivating brand recognition in children for years, adult-oriented businesses such as banks and automakers are now getting in on the act.Buzz or Street Marketing[I] The challenge for marketers is to cut through the intense advertising clutter (杂乱)in young people’s lives. Many companies are using “buzz marketing”—a new twist on the tried-and-true “word of mouth”method. The idea is to find the coolest kids in a community and have them use or wear your product in order to create a buzz around it. Buzz, or “street marketing”, as it’s also called, can help a company to successfully connect with the elusive (难找的)teen market by using trendsetters to give them products “cool” status.[J] Buzz marketing is particularly well-suited to the Internet, where young “Net promoters”use chat rooms and blogs to spread the word about music, clothes and other products among unsuspecting users.Commercialization in Education[K] School used to be a place where children were protected from the advertising and consumer messages that permeated their world—but not anymore. Budget shortfalls (亏空,差额)are forcing school boards to allow corporations access to students in exchange for badly needed cash, computers and educational materials.[L] Corporations realize the power of the school environment for promoting their name and products. A school setting delivers a captive youth audience and implies the endorsement of teachers and the educational system. Marketers are eagerly exploiting this medium in a number of ways, including: 1) sponsored educational materials; 2) supplying schools with technology in exchange for high company visibility; 3) advertising posted in classrooms, school buses, on computers in exchange for funds; 4) contests and incentive programs: for example, the Pizza Hut reading incentives program in which children receive certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal; 5) sponsoring school events.The Internet[M] The Internet is an extremely desirable medium for marketers wanting to target children. It’s part of youth culture.This generation of young people is growing up with the Internet as a daily and routine part of their lives. Kids are often online alone, without parental supervision. Unlike broadcasting media, which have codes regarding advertising to kids, the Internet is unregulated. Sophisticated technologies make it easy to collect information from young people for marketing research, and to target individual children with personalized advertising.Marketing Adult Entertainment to Kids[N] Children are often aware of and want to see entertainment meant for older audiences because it is actively marketed to them. In a report released in 2000, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed how the movie, music and video games industries routinely market violent entertainment to young children.[O] The FTC studied 44 films rated “Restricted”, and discovered that 80 per cent were targeted to children under 17. Marketing plans included TV commercials run during hours when young viewers were most likely to be watching. The FTC report also highlighted the fact that toys based on characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children. Mature rated video games are advertised in youth magazines; and toys based on “Restricted” movies and M-rated video games are marketed to children as young as four.46. Guilt can affect parents" spending decisions because they don’t have enough time for their kids.47. The Center for a New American Dream pointed out that brand loyalties could be formed as early as age two.48. School boards allow corporations to access to students because they need money and educational materials badly.49. The FTC report highlighted the fact that toys based on characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children.50. For this generation of young people, the Internet is a daily and routine part of their lives.51. According to Kidfluence, “persistence nagging”is less effective than the more sophisticated “importance nagging”.52. According to a report released by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the movie, music and video games industries usually market violent entertainment to young children.53. Buzz marketing is well-suited to the Internet because the interactive environment can spread messages effectively.54. A group of U.S. mental health professionals think that it is unethical to use child psychologists to help marketers target kids.55. According to the Pizza Hut reading incentives program, children will receive certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal.Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

No one would deny that we are living in a world where knowledge has never been so explosive and overwhelming. Therefore, one should constantly broaden his knowledge to keep up with the changing time. To have vast knowledge means a great deal to us. For instance, extensive knowledge implies one’s curiosity and efforts to learn new things. In addition to this, those who have a wealth of knowledge usually have better chances in schools, offices and markets, because they can shed different lights on the issues from another perspective. When we recognize the importance of wide knowledge, we should know how to obtain it. First, we could read extensively, from novels to newspapers, from memoirs to journals. Second, we may subscribe to online newsletter of our interests so that we are updated periodically. Finally, we could take some time out of our schedule to participate in exhibitions of other industries. This might awaken our dormant inspiration and drive us to learn more about the new products and technologies. “I read; I saw; I learned.”—that is how we broaden our knowledge in the information age.Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A听力原文:M: Do you know whether our health insurance covers expenses for dental bills?W: It does not cover dental expenses like cleaning your teeth or fixing new teeth.

[3] Just as the saying goes, “No pains, no gains.” Success can only be achieved by those who are working hard and have great perseverance and enthusiasm.[4] Firstly, without [6] exerting oneself, one could never expect to achieve success. Although having been equipped with outstanding skills, [5] Wang Hao, the famous player of table tennis always trains hard for every championship. [4] Secondly, perseverance is one of the prerequisites to one’s success. In the British Museum, with his unremitting perseverance of almost forty years, [5] Karl Marx has been searching for materials incessantly and finally accomplished his world-known masterpiece [6] Das Kapital. [4] Thirdly, the enthusiasm for work is also indispensable.

我们应该恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则,充分发挥联合国及其安理会在维护和平、缔 造和平、建设和平方面的核心作用。坚持通过对话和协商,以和平方式解决国际争端。
We should abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and bring into full play the central role of the United Nations and its Security Council in peace keeping, peace making and peace building. We should seek peaceful settlement of international disputes through dialogue and consultation.
2.和平稳定是发展的前提和基础。上个世纪,人类经历了两次世界大战,生灵涂炭, 经济社会发展遭受严重挫折。第二次世界大战结束以来,世界经济能够快速增长,主要 得益于相对和平稳定的国际环境。
我们应该恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则,充分发挥联合国及其安理会在维护和平、缔 造和平、建设和平方面的核心作用。坚持通过对话和协商有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事,说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中,巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳,地球才被保住。为了奖励后羿,王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药,但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告,他被名利冲昏了头脑,变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观,于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药,飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥,这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说
我们应该坚持国家不论大小、强弱、贫富都是国际社会平等一员,以民主、包容、 合作、共赢的精神实现共同安全,做到一国内部的事情一国自主办、大家共同的事情大 家商量办,坚定不移奉行多边主义和国际合作,推进国际关系民主化。
3.如果说我确实有所成就的话,那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就会成功。遇到挫折时,你可以暂时把问题放一放,一味纠结不仅无济于事,有时反倒使情况更糟。先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番;再回头看待问题,你或许会感到柳暗花明。这样做后,别忘了多加反省:“为什么这个方法会奏效?下次能不能做得更好呢?”看你定的是什么目标,这种方法可以被反复有效应用。如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己,最后成功肯定非你莫属。孜孜不倦向来无敌。
Peace and stability form the prerequisite and foundation for development. The two world wars in the last century caused mankind untold sufferings and world economic and social development severe setbacks. It is mainly due to the relatively peaceful and stable international environment that the world economy has been able to grow at a fast pace in the post-war era.

参考答案与解析
1. 参考翻译及详解
澳门,南海之滨一颗闪耀的明珠,以她的风采、沧桑和辉煌,更以1999年12月20日这个不同寻常的日子,吸引着全世界的目光。
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.
遇到挫折时,你可以暂时把问题放一放,一味纠结不仅无济于事,有时反倒使情况更糟。
If you fail in??something, distance from the event for a day or two, because agonizing over the??problem will not make it go away (and will make it a lot worse).
All countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the international community. We should work for common security in a spirit of democracy, inclusiveness, cooperation and win-win progress. Internal affairs of a country should be handled independently by the country itself and international affairs should be managed collectively through consultation by all. We should be committed to multilateralism and international cooperation, and promote democracy in international relations.
翻译这个句子的时候,用了句式the only reason is...because,大家看到汉语“如果说......”可能会一下头脑晕掉,不知道怎么来翻译,但换一个方式,不用if等其它表示如果的单词或词组,也不失为一种迂回翻译的好方法哦。
注意:
我坚信: I am a firm believer (汉语的动词翻译成英文成了“形容词+名词”的形式,亲,你翻译的时候会不会这么做呢?)
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。
This year, Macao will completely get rid of the foreign regime and return to??motherland. This is another great historical event for the Chinese people. It??symbolizes another big step for the Chinese people on their way towards the??great goal of the country’s reunification. Macao’s future is sure to be even??brighter.
