2020年大学英语四级考试翻译试题及答案(1)聘金(endowment)是中国传统习俗的一部分。

通常,新郎(bridegroom)需要给新娘家一笔钱作为聃礼来定下婚礼。

但是近几年来其标准不断上升,致使大多数家庭都很难达到。

快速上涨的生活成本是聘金增加的主要原因。

对于大多数年轻人来说,结婚意味着独立组建家庭,然而物价的不断上涨使这一切变得越来越困难。

因此,许多新婚夫妇都只能向父母求助。

表达难点1.第2句中的“作为聘礼”在汉译英时,可以顺承前面一句“聘金”而省略不译。

“来定下婚礼”表目的,故将其译作状语to fix a marriage。

2.第3句“……不断上升,致使大多数家庭都很难达到”表因果关系,可用so...that...结构来表达,“某人很难做某事”英语对应的表达为sb. finds it difficult to do sth,此句可译为...have become so high... that a majority of families are finding it difficult to meet them。

3.翻译第4句“快速上涨的生活成本是聘金增加的主要原因”时,如果按照原主干“生活成本是主要原因译,则不能很好表达出原句强调“上涨”的利害关系,故转换结构,用“快速上涨”作主语用介词短语in the living cost 作定语。

4.倒数第2句中的“结婚意味着独立组建家庭,然而物价的不断上涨使这一切变得越来越困难”是一个表转折的并列句。

但通过分析发现,“这一切”指代前半句内容,故可用which引导非限制性定语从句将前后分句联系起来,以避免不必要的信息重复,这样句子更加简洁紧凑。

“物价的不断上涨”处理成原因状语because of the constantly rising prices 置后,使句子表达清晰流畅。

参考译文Endowment is part of Chinese tradition. Usually, a bridegroom needs to pay a certain amount of money to the bride's family to fix a marriage. But the standards have become so high in recent years that a majority of families are finding it difficult to meet them. The rapid rise in the living cost is the main reason for the increase of endowment. For most young people, marriage means setting up a family independently, which has become increasingly difficult because of the constantly rising prices. Consequently, many newly married couples turn to their parents for help.2020年大学英语四级考试翻译试题及答案(2)中国结(Chinese knot)是中国文化的典型代表之一。

2.第3句中的动作“十分重视”、“不断加大”是“新中国成立后”持续发生的动作,故该句用现在完成进行时态。

仔细分析发现,“十分重视……,不断加大……”为两个并列的动作作谓语,而“加速了……”则表结果,可处理为结果状语,故本句译为 the government has been paying close attention to... and increasing... to speed up…。

3.第4句中的“中国农业取得了辉煌的成就”可理解为“中国在农业方面取得了成就”,故可译为China has made great achievements 、progress in agriculture。

该句也可用“辉煌的成就”作主语,用被动语态表达,译作great achievements have been made in China's agriculture。

• 裸婚(down-to-earth marriage )是一种新的 结婚方式,指的是一对恋人没有房子、没 有车、不办婚礼、不度蜜月甚至没有婚戒, 只领取结婚证(marriage certificate)的结婚 方式。这种形式的结婚最低成本只有9元钱。 现代年轻人的生活压力较大,而且强调爱 情的独立,必须有房再结婚或者大肆操办 婚事的传统在年轻一代中被削弱。许多人 都相信裸婚是两个人纯粹爱情的见证。
Down-to-earth Marriage
• As a new way of getting married, down-to-earth marriage means that a couple marries each other by only applying for a marriage certificate without an apartment, a car, a wedding ceremony, a honeymoon, or even a wedding ring. This form of marriage can cost as little as only nine yuan. As young people in modern times live under great pressure and place emphasis on the independence of love, the tradition that “an apartment is a must for marriage” and “wedding ceremony should be held on a grand scale” has weakened among the young generation. Many people believe that a down-to-earth marriage is a testament to the pure love between the couple.

中国古人认为黄昏是一天中最吉利的时间,所以会在黄昏举行婚礼。

中国人喜爱红,将红色看作是幸福、成功、好运、忠诚和繁荣的象征。

因此在传统中国婚礼上,主色调是红色,有红色的蜡烛、红色的缎带(ribbon)、红花和新娘的红衣和红鞋。

新娘吃的食物也是一种文化象征。

新娘一般会吃红枣(red date)、花生、桂圆(longan)和瓜子(melon seed),其中的象征意义可以从这四种食物的读音中看出。

当这四种食物放在一起读时就是“早生贵子”。

正确答案:Traditional Chinese wedding is the essence of Chinese culture. Chinese ancestors believed that dusk was the luckiest time in a day, so they held the wedding at dusk. Chinese are fond of red color and regard red as the symbol of happiness, success, luck, loyalty and prosperity. Therefore, in traditional Chinese weddings, the main color is red. There are red candles, red ribbons, red flowers as well as the red dress and shoes worn by the bride. The food the bride eats has cultural significance. The bride usually has red dates, peanuts, longans and melon seeds, the symbolic meaning of which is evident in the Chinese pronunciation of these four foods. When pronounced together, it sounds like “zao sheng gui zi (Have a lovely baby soon)”.解析:1.“吉利的”是汉语的表达,英文中对应的表达应该是“幸运的,好运的”。

2020年大学英语四级翻译练习试题及解析:传统婚礼

2020年大学英语四级翻译练习试题及解析:传统婚礼

2020年大学英语四级翻译练习试题及解析:传统婚礼翻译题目中国传统婚礼反映着中国的哲学思想。

婚礼上总是用红色的东西来表达祝福和尊重。

这是因为中国人将红色看作是幸福、成功和好运的象征。

婚姻不但是一对新人的结合,也象征着两个家庭的结合。

邀请亲朋好友来参加婚礼体现着人与人之间的关系和礼节(formality)。

婚礼上奏乐的声音通常很响,响到足以让自然“听到”,同时也证明婚姻的重要性。

表达难点1.翻译第2句“婚礼上总是用红色的东西……”时,为符合英语表达习惯,应“增译”出动作执行者,表达为people alwaysfill…with red things.“来表达祝福和尊重”表目的,故将其译作目的状语to express blessings and respects.2.仔细分析可发现,第3句“这是因为中国人将红色看作是幸福、成功和好运的象征”中的“这”指代前面—句的论述,故能够将此句和前一句合译,用表原因的连词for引出状语从句for they…。

“红色”在翻译时要增译the color才符合英语“形合”的特点。

定语“幸福、成功和好运的”较长,故将其处理成后置定语,用of引出,表达为of haziness, success, and good luck.3.第5句中的主语“邀请亲朋好友来参加婚礼”可用分词短语Invitingrelatives and Mends to the wedding来表达。

主谓人称和数相一致的原则,此处主语是指一件事情,故谓语用第三人称单数形式。

4.最后一句“声音通常很响,响到足以……”,如果逐字对译为the sound is always lo ud, and loud enough to…译文显晦涩,按英语避免重复的表达习惯,“省译”一个loud.参考译文Traditional Chinese weddings reflect Chinese philosophy. People always fill their weddings with red things to express blessings and respects, for they regard the color red as the symbol of happiness, success, and good luck A marriage is not only a combination of the couple but also the symbol of the unity of two families. Inviting relatives and friends to the wedding symbolizes the relationships and the formality between people. The sound of musical instruments in the wedding usually loud enough to make nature know and to demonstrate the importance of the marriage.。

婚礼
结婚是人生中的一件大事。

传统的中式婚礼古朴而又热闹,隆重、喜庆并且礼节周全,场面的铺陈颇具特色,不过在现代,尤其是在城市里,已经很少见了。

花轿是传统婚礼的核心内容之一。

结婚时,新娘要坐在花轿里从娘家被抬到男方家中。

花轿一般分四人抬,八人抬两种,又有“龙轿”“凤轿”之分。

除去轿夫之外,还有持笙锣、伞、扇等的随行人员,一般的轿队少则十几人,多则几十人,很是壮观。

传统的中式婚礼中,新娘要蒙着红盖头,在伴娘的伴随下,由新郎手持的大红绸牵着,慢慢地登上花轿。

在新娘成花轿去往男方家里的途中,颠花轿是必不可少的热闹场面。

轿夫一起左摇右摆使花轿不稳,新娘坐在里面也是左摇右晃。

有的时候,新郎甚至不得不代替新娘或者和新娘一起向众人抱拳施礼求饶,而这个时候,众人欢笑不止,实际上是为了增添新人成婚之日的喜庆气氛。

中式传统婚礼的最重要的部分便是拜堂成亲。

新人走到天地桌前,上面摆放有装满粮食的斗,斗的四周写上“金玉满斗”四个大字,以红纸封口,斗内四角放若干硬币,以供拜完天地后看热闹的亲朋好友掏出来求取吉利之意。

斗中要插一柏枝,枝上缀有铜钱,这个柏枝便被称作“摇钱树”。

斗旁放一杆秤、一面镜、织布机杼、一灯或一蜡烛。

新郎在右,新娘在左,并肩站在天地桌前,执事人高声喊道:“一拜天地,二拜高堂,夫妻对拜”。

民间的说法认为,男女只有在拜过天地后才能算作是正式夫妻,因此对这个拜堂的仪式非常重
视。

还有民间习俗有这样有趣的研究,即如果新郎在结婚的当天因故不能拜天地,就让他的姐妹抱只公鸡来代替。

坐完花轿、拜完天地、接下来新人要入洞房了。

洞房是一直延续下来的叫法,新人入了洞房以后,按照习俗,新郎新娘的同辈亲友聚集在洞房里,对新郎新娘开一些充满暗示的玩笑。

这时即便过头一点,新郎新娘也不会生气,而是想办法巧妙化解,因为亲朋好友闹洞房图的是高兴和热闹。

Wedding
Marriage is the most important thing in the life. In China, a traditional wedding is simple and lively, ceremonious,and joyful. There are some unique features in this ceremony, but in modern society, especially in the city, it is hardly seen any more.
The bridal sedan is the core of the traditional wedding. In wedding, the bride should sit in the sedan, then be lifted from her mother's home to her husband' home. Generally, there are two kinds of sedan, that is, four-lifter and eight-lifter, also divided into "dragon sedan" and "phoenix sedan". There are so many suites who hold gongs, umbrellas, fans and so on, besides lifters, In group, there are more than ten people at least, and the occasion is very magnificent. In a traditional weddin, accompanied with a bridesmaid, the bride wearing a red veil and
led along by the bridegroom who holds a red silk in his hand, enters the bridal sedan. On the way to the husband's home, lifters jolt the sedan as it is necessary in a joyful wedding. Lifters swing the sedan from left to right, causing the bride to sit unsteadily inside. Sometimes the bridegroom has to substitute for his bride or beg to everyone else, while, all laugh to adding to the jubilance.
The wedding ceremony is the most important part of a traditional Chinese wedding. The newlyweds go to the table for heaven and earth where there is a dou (a kind of basket) full of grain. The dou is written with red paper. There are many coins placed in the four corners of the dou to provide the "luck" meaning to the guests. There is a cypress branch, called "ready source of money", decorated with copper coins. Besides, one steelyard ,a mirror ,a loom, a lamp or a candle are also placed near the dou. Afterwards, the groom stands on the left side, the bride right by his side, while the director prompts, "First bow to the heaven and earth; second bow to the parents; third bow to each other". According to the folk saying, they will not be the formal couple until bowing to the heaven and earth. As a result, people pay a great attention to this ceremony. An interesting custom is that if the groom cannot come to this ceremony, he should ask his sister to hold a cock instead.
After taking the bridal sedan, bowing to the heaven, it's time for the newlyweds to go to the bridal chamber. According to custom, their relatives and friends get together in the bridal chamber to banter the newlyweds. At this time, the newlyweds will never get angry even if the teasing games are a bit outrageous, but will try to skillfully dissolve since the relatives and friends intend to delight them.。
