1.京剧的脸谱(Peking Opera masks)几乎成了中国文化的一个代表性的符号,一种象征。
许多国家举办“中国文化年”,招贴画上往往画着一个大大的京剧脸谱。脸谱有两种用
意。一种是表明剧中人的身份和性格。如“红脸”表示这个人忠勇,“黑脸”表示这个
人粗豪,“白脸”表示这个人奸恶。再一种用意是体现人们对这个角色的道德评价和审
美(aesthetic)评价,如可敬的、可恨的、崇高的、可笑的,等等。脸谱除了这种含
义外,它本身又具有一种色彩美、图案美。
Peking Opera masks are now almost emblematic of China. Many countries design
posters using Peking Opera masks to signal a “Year of Chinese Culture”. Masks
serve two purpose. One is to indicate the identity and character of the role.
For example, a “red face” means the person is loyal and brave; a “black face”
signifies the person is straightforward; and a “white face” identities the
person as crafty and evil. The other purpose is to express people’s appraisal

教育的功用就在顺应人类求知、想好、爱美的天性,使一个人在这三方面得到最大限度的调和的发展,以达到完美的生活。教育的目的在启发人性中固有的求知、想好、爱美的本能,使它们尽量伸展。中国儒家的最高的人生理想是“尽性”。他们说:“能尽人之性则能尽物之性,能尽物之性则可以赞天地之化育。Education should comply with human nature ofpursuit of knowledge,of better life,and of beauty,inwhich one is supposed to get maximum developmentso as to lead a perfect cation is to inspireand to give full play to the inherent natures of human beings.The Confucian ideal of life is to“get to the bottom of the laws”.It is said that:“He,who is able to get to the bottom of the lawsof being of men,will be able to get to the bottom of the laws of physical nature.He,who is ableto get to the bottom of the laws of the physical nature,will be able to influence the forces ofcreation of the Universe.”

英语四六级考试改革后,翻译部分由原来的单句汉译英“换装”为段落汉译英,四级翻译段落有140-160个汉字,六级有180-200个汉字。翻译长度的增加无疑给广大考生增加了一定难度,但是对比四六级考试委员会给出的样题,我们可以发现,改革前后的翻译考点与之前的考点基本是一致的,无外乎中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等主题,这就为考生的备考提供了一些启示。那么,考生该如何复习翻译,夺取高分呢?
翻译策略指点:
稳定心态,挖掘考点、有的放矢,增强训练是攻克翻译这座大山的不二法宝。
1. 挖掘考点:
由样题和2012年12月的真题可以看出,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】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。

请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
皮影戏(shadow play)也叫灯影戏(light shadow play),是中国最古老的戏剧之一。演员们伴随音乐歌唱,同时控制皮影。这些戏的内容以传统历史剧和寓言故事居多。皮影戏融合了戏剧、音乐和绘画的一些特点,是文学写作、工匠雕刻和绘画以及民间歌唱的融合体。它使人愉快、内容丰富、雅俗共赏,且具有丰富的文化内涵和艺术源泉。古时候,皮影戏像现代电影和电视一样带给人们快乐。现代社会很难再见到这个神秘的剧种。皮影戏是世界文化和艺术界的瑰宝。
参考翻译
Shadow play, also called light shadow play, is one ofthe oldest operas in China.

赡养父母
在大家庭里,老一辈人的意见受到尊重,小一辈人得到全家的呵护。中国宪法规定赡养父母是成年子女义不容辞的责任。在城市里,不和家里老人一起住的年轻夫妇给老人提供生活费并协助他们干家务活儿。在农村,即使大家庭解体了,很多结了婚的儿子和他的家人还和父母住在同一个院子里。对他们来说,分家不过是分灶而已。结了婚的儿子往往把房子盖在父母家附近,这样父母和子女互相协助、探望都和过去一样方便。
译文:
In extended families, the older members’ opinions are respected, and the youngest members are loved and taken good care of by all. China’s Constitution stipulates that grown-up children are duty-bound to support their parents. In the cities, couples who do not live with their aged parents offer them living allowances and help them with the chores. In the countryside, though quite a number of extended families have dissolved, many married sons and their families continue to live in the same courtyard with their parents. To them, breaking up the extended family means only cooking their meals separately. Most often they have their houses built near their parents’ home, making it convenient for parents and children to help and visit each other as before.

公园免费开放
长久以来,人们一直对市区公园是否应该收门票的争论不休。一些人认为市区公园是用纳税人的钱建立起来的,是供人们休闲、娱乐的公共场所,因此应该是免费的。另一方面,还有一些人称,考虑到中国人口众多,公民责任意识淡薄的情况,一旦免费开放市区公园,这些公园会管理不善,将不可避免地受到损坏。综合考虑两种观点,我较认同后者。可以确定的是市区公园免费开放要与经济发展情况相适应,因为这需要财政的支持。因此,以中国现有的经济水平,免费开放市区公园的目标要逐步实现。

乒乓球
乒乓球是一项强调耐力和反应能力(reflexes)的运动,尽管乒乓球本身比较小,运动强度不大。不论男女老少都可以同台公平竞争。由于是室内运动,所以可以常年举行比赛或进行练习。自从乒乓球运动诞生以来,它已经经历了巨大的演变。比赛规则经过多次的修改,并且随着技术的进步和打球方式的改变,运动器材也发生了变化。这些改良(refinement)只是证明了乒乓球运动已经发展为一项非常完美的运动,可以与我们所崇尚(with reverence)的任何一种经典运动相媲美。
Despite its small size and moderate intensity, ping-pong is a sport that emphasizes endurance and reflexes. People of all ages and genders can play it on an equal ground. The sport is played indoors, so year-round competition and practice are possible. Ping-pong has undergone enormous evolution since it came into being, with has experienced many revisions of rules and seen an improvement of equipment as technology and playing styles changed. Such refinement only serves as evidence that ping-pong is indeed a full-fledged sport, comparable to any of the other classics we behold with reverence.
清华大学
清华大学被视为中国最著名和选拔人才最严格的大学之一。清华大学的校园位于北京西北部的海淀区,这是专为大学指定的区域。它坐落在清代皇家花园的旧址上,保留了一些中式的园林风格以及一些传统的建筑,但它的许多建筑物都是西式风格的,反应了美国对它的影响。它拥有中国最美丽校园之一,拥有中国最好的工程和应用科学(applied science)课程,吸引了全国最有才华的学生,其地位和美国伯克利大学(Berkeley)、麻省理工学院以及斯坦福大学相当。
Tsinghua University is regarded as one of the most renowned and most selective universities in China. The campus of Tsinghua University is situated in northwest Beijing, in Haidian District which is designated for universities. It is located on the former site of Qing Dynasty royal gardens and retains some Chinese-style landscapes as well as some traditional buildings, but many of its buildings are Western-style reflecting the American influence on its history. With one of the most beautiful campuses and the best engineering and applied science programs in China, it attracts the most talented students of the nation and occupies a position similar to Berkeley, MIT, and Stanford University in the US.
儒家思想
儒家思想是中国传统文化的基石。它出现在大约2500年前的春秋时期(the Spring and Autumn Period),是建立在夏、商、周朝的传统文化之上,并由孔子创立的完整观念体系(ideological system)。儒家思想博大精深,涵盖了人性、
政治、法律、教育、哲学、道德各个领域。儒家文化以人本哲学(humanistic philosophy)为依托,这表现在它对人类个体的尊敬、关注和热爱。总而言之,儒家文化是世界文化遗产的重要组成部分,是东方文化的代表,也是中国文化传统的中流砥柱。
Confucianism is the cornerstone of traditional Chinese culture.

丝绸之路
原文:丝绸之路
闻名于世的丝绸之路是一系列连接东西方的路线。丝绸之路延伸6,000多公里。得名于古代中国的丝绸贸易。丝绸之路上的贸易在中国、南亚、欧洲和中东文明发展中发挥了重要作用。正是通过丝绸之路,中国的造纸、火药、指南针、印刷等四大发明才被引介到世界各地。同样,中国的丝绸、茶叶和瓷器(porcelain)也传遍全球。物质文化的交流是双向的。欧洲也通过丝绸之路出口各种商品和植物,满足中国市场的需要。
【参考译文】
The world-renowned Silk Road is a series of routes connecting the East and the West. It extended more than 6,000 kilometers. The Silk Road was named after ancient China’s silk trade which played an important role in the civilization development of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

Similarly, Chinese silk, tea and porcelain spread all over the world. Europe also exported various goods and plants through the Silk Road to meet the needs of the Chinese market.
【点评】
“丝绸之路”这一话题属于中国历史文化。因此备考汉译英,多关注具有中国特色文化的话题,例如中国传统节日,中国园林园艺,中国戏曲艺术等。词汇方面该篇注意专有名词国家名,四大发明固定表达。句型方面注意强调句”It is(was)… that… “的结构。
