2004C-E:在人际关系问题上我们不要太浪漫主义。
人是很有趣的，往往在接触一个人时首先看到的都是他或她的优点。
这一点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。
开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候，印象很好。
吃头两个主菜时，也是赞不绝口。
愈吃愈趋于冷静，吃完了这顿筵席，缺点就都找出来了。
于是转喜为怒，转赞美为责备挑剔，转首肯为摇头。
这是因为，第一，开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态，而饿了吃糠甜加蜜，饱了吃蜜也不甜。
第二，你初到一个餐馆，开始举筷时有新鲜感，新盖的茅房三天香，这也可以叫做―陌生化效应。
参考译文：We should not be too romantic in interpersonal relations. Human beings are interesting in that they tend to first see good in a new acquaintance. This is like dining in a restaurant. You will be not only favorably impressed with the first two courses. However, the more you have, the more sober you become until the dinner ends up with all the flaws exposed. Consequently, your joy would give way to anger; your praises to criticism or even fault-finding; and your nodding in agreement to shaking the head. What accounts for all this is, in the first place, you are hungry when you start to eat. As the saying goes, ―Hunger is the best sauce‖, and vice versa.2005C-E:一个人的生命究竟有多大意义，这有什么标准可以衡量吗？提出一个绝对的标准当然很困难；但是，大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真，看他对待工作、生活的态度如何，也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。
2007年 专八翻译汉译英
解析：“牧羊人不见了”不能直译成the shepherd disappeared,因为这里的消失指的是我们看不见牧羊人， 因为他不知在什么地方休息，故翻译成the shepherd was out of sight.
前两个在翻译时合并成了一个句子，把后面的句子翻译 为前一句的非限定性定语从句，用which引导。
解析：“水草肥美”这里“水”和“草”应该分别选 择合适的形容词来形容，这里用fresh修饰water, exuberant修饰plants,最前面还用ample来指明充足、 “让它们长得肥滚滚的, 像些胖娃娃”表达了作者对 它们的喜爱之情，由于中英文化差异，不能直译，译 为as round as ruby babies,在一事实上程度上传达出 了羊的“肥滚滚”，“像胖娃娃”的可爱样子。 最后一句“那可爱的神情, 洁白的牙齿, 那丰富而单 纯的表情”中对羊的细节描写，这里“神情”指的是 lovely faces;而“表情”指的是facial expression,这 些用with引导，为介词短语，作lovely faces的后置定 语。
1. 也就在这一幅绚烂的图画旁边, 在河湾 之畔, 一群羊正在低头觅食。
参考译文： It was near this splendid picture that a flock of sheep were lowering their heads and grazing on the river bend.
4.这儿水草肥美, 让它们长得肥滚滚的, 像些胖娃 娃。如果走近了, 会发现它们那可爱的神情, 洁白 的牙齿, 那丰富而单纯的表情。 参考译文： The ample fresh water and exuberant plants had nurtured the sheep, making them grow as round as chubby babies. When approaching near, you would find their lovely faces with white teeth and their rich yet innocent facial expression.

1997年E-C原文:Opera is expensive: that much is inevitable. But expensive things are inevitably the province （范围）of the rich unless we abdicate（退位、放弃）society’s power of choice. We can choose to make opera and other expensive forms of culture, accessible（易接近的，可达到的）to those who cannot individually pay for it. The question is: why should we? No body denies the imperatives（必要的）of food, shelter, defence, health and education. But even in a prehistoric cave, man-kind stretched out a hand of not just to eat, drink or fight, but also to draw. The impulse（冲动）towards culture, the desire to express and explore the world through imagination and representation（表述、陈述）is fundamental. In Europe, this desire has found fulfillment（完成、成就）in the masterpieces of our music, art, literature and theatre. These masterpieces are the touchstones（标准、试金石）for all our efforts; they are the touchstones for the possibilities to which human thought and imagination may aspire（立志、追求目标、渴望）; they carry the most profound （深厚的、深刻的）messages that can be sent from one human to another.参考译文：欣赏歌剧是一种奢侈：你必须为此支付昂贵的票价。

英语专业八级翻译(1): C－E 【1996】近读报纸，对国内名片和请柬的议论颇多，于是想起客居巴黎时经常见到的法国人手中的名片和请柬，随笔记下来，似乎不无借鉴之处。
在巴黎，名目繁多的酒会、冷餐会是广交朋友的好机会。
在这种场合陌生人相识，如果是亚洲人，他们往往开口之前先毕恭毕敬地用双手把自己的名片呈递给对方，这好像是不可缺少的礼节。
然而，法国人一般却都不大主动递送名片，双方见面寒喧几句甚至海阔天空地聊一番也就各自走开。
只有当双方谈话投机，希望继续交往时，才会主动掏出名片。
二话不说先递名片反倒有些勉强。
法国人的名片讲究朴素大方，印制精美，但很少有镶金边儿的，闪光多色的或带香味儿的，名片上的字体纤细秀丽，本人的名字也不过分突出，整张纸片上空白很大，毫无拥挤不堪的感觉。
Key to (1): C-E 【1996】In reading recent newspapers, I have come to find that people in China have become more and more interested in discussing about name cards and invitation letters. This has triggered my reminiscences of the name cards and invitation letters of the French people that I saw when I was residing in Paris. In writing down those random reminiscences, I believe that they might provide some useful information for us to learn from.In Paris, all the wine parties and buffet receptions held on various occasions provide optimum opportunities to make friends with all varieties of people. When encountering a stranger on such an occasion, an Asian would invariably hand over his name card to the newly-met stranger with full reverence, with both of his hands, even before he starts to converse with the stranger. Such an act seems to have become an indispensable ritual (formality/ etiquette). By contrast, an average Frenchman seldom takes the initiative to (offers to / volunteers to) present his name card. Instead, he would simply walk away after an exchange of routine greetings or even some aimless (random/ casual) chat. Only when both sides become deeply engrossed (engaged / involved) in their conversation and have the intention to make further acquaintance with each other would they offer to give their name cards. It would seem somehow bizarre if a French person offers his name card without saying anything to the stranger in the first place.The French tend to take extraordinary precaution to make their name cards simple yet elegant. Exquisitely designed and printed, their name cards are seldom golden-framed, or colorfully shiny, or tinted with fragrant smells. The letters as appear on their name cards tend to be diminutive but beautiful,not allowing the name of the card-bearer to be overly prominent/salient. The entire card contains much empty space, imparting no sense of over-crowdedness.(2) E-C 【1996】Four months before the election day, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters and reviewed an oversize calendar that marked the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign.

专八翻译真题及参考答案
1998年E-C:I agree to some extent with my imaginary English reader. American literary historians are perhaps prone to view their own national scene too narrowly, mistaking prominence for uniqueness. They do over-phrase their own literature, or certainly its minor figures. And Americans do swing from aggressive over phrase of their literature to an equally unfortunate, imitative deference. But then, the English themselves are somewhat insular in their literary appraisals. Moreover, in fields where they are not pre-eminent — e. g. in painting and music —they too alternate between boasting of native products and copying those of the Continent. How many English paintings try to look as though they were done in Paris; how many times have we read in articles that t hey really represent an ―English tradition‖ after all.To speak of American literature, then, is not to assert(断言、声称)that it is completely unlike that of Europe. Broadly speaking, America and Europe have kept step(同步). At any given moment(在任何时候) the traveler could find examples in both of the same architecture, the same styles in dress, the same books on the shelves. Ideas have crossed the Atlantic as freely as men and merchandise, though sometimes more slowly. When I refer to American habit, thoughts, etc., I intend some sort of qualification(限制、限定、资格) to precede(领先、超前) the word, for frequently the difference between America and Europe (especially England) will be one of degree(唯一只是在程度上), sometimes only of a small degree. The amount of divergence(分歧、差异) is a subtle (微妙的)affair, liable(有可能的) to perplex the Englishman when he looks at America. He is looking at a country which in important senses (重要的感觉)grew out of his own, which in several ways still resembles his own — and which is yet a foreign country. There are odd overlappings and abrupt unfamiliarities; kinship(亲缘关系) yields to a sudden alienation(疏远关系), as when we hail(打招呼) a person across the street, only to discover from his blank(没有表情的) response that we have mistaken a stranger for a friend.参考译文(翻译第二段)：因此，我们在说―美国‖文学，并不表明我们认为美国文学与欧洲文学截然不同。

To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society2.Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence, and manipulating others3.

Scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constituents of matter, and the miracle of life. At the same time, today, the actions, and inaction, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet. Globalization is making the world smaller, faster and richer. Still, 9/11, avian flu, and Iran remind us that a smaller, faster world is not necessarily a safer world. Our world is bursting with knowledge - but desperately in need of wisdom. Now, when sound bites are getting shorter, when instant messages crowd out essays, and when individual lives grow more frenzied, college graduates capable of deep reflection are what our world needs.

1997C-E原文：来美国求学的中国学生与其他亚裔学生一样，大多非常刻苦勤奋，周末也往往会抽出一天甚至两天的时间去实验室加班，因而比起美国学生来，成果出得较多。
我的导师是亚裔人，嗜烟好酒，脾气暴躁。
但他十分欣赏亚裔学生勤奋与扎实的基础知识，也特别了解亚裔学生的心理。
因此，在他实验室所招的学生中，除有一名来自德国外，其余5位均是亚裔学生。
他干脆在实验室的门上贴一醒目招牌：“本室助研必须每周工作7天，早10时至晚12时，工作时间必须全力以赴。
”这位导师的严格及苛刻是全校有名的，在我所呆的3年半中，共有14位学生被招进他的实验室，最后博士毕业的只剩下5人。
1990年夏天，我不顾别人劝阻，硬着头皮接受了导师的资助，从此开始了艰难的求学旅程。

Even on weekends, they would frequently spend one day, or even two days, to work overtime in their laboratories. Therefore, compared with their American counterparts, they are more academically fruitful. My supervisor is of Asian origin. He is addicted to alcohols and cigarettes, with a sharp/irritable temper. Nevertheless, he highly appreciates the industry and the solid foundational knowledge of Asian students and has a particularly keen insight into what Asian students have on their mind. Hence, of all the students recruited into his laboratory, except for one German, the other five were all from Asia. He even put an eye-catching notice on the door of his lab, which read, “All the research assistants of this laboratory are required to work 7 days a week, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.. Nothing but work during the working hours.” This supervisor is reputed on the entire campus for his severity and harshness. During the 3 and a half years that I stayed there, a total of 14 students were recruited into his laboratory and only 5 of them stayed until they graduated with their Ph.D. degrees. In the summer of 1990, ignoring the dissuasions from others, I accepted my supervisor’s sponsorship and embarked on my difficult journey of academic pursuit.1998年C-E原文：1997年2月24日我们代表团下榻日月潭中信大饭店，送走了最后一批客人，已是次日凌晨3点了。

也就在这一幅绚烂的图画旁边，在河湾之畔，一群羊正在低头觅食。
它们几乎没有一个顾得上抬起头来，看一眼这美丽的黄昏。
也许它们要抓紧时间，在即将回家的最后一刻再次咀嚼。
这是黄河滩上的一幕。
牧羊人不见了，他不知在何处歇息。
只有这些美生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。
这儿水草肥美，让它们长得肥滚滚的，像些胖娃娃。
如果走近了，会发现它们那可爱的神情，洁白的牙齿，那丰富而单纯的表情。

专八2007四篇阅读翻译
A威尔士语一直被视为是威尔士人最后的标志，但是三十年前的威尔士语却好像走向了曼恩岛语灭绝的道路。
然而，政府财政和中央计划帮助减缓了威尔士语的衰弱。
路标和官方公告使用两种语言，威尔士语和英语，小学生必须学习这两种语言。
威尔士语现在是地区用语中最常使用的语言之一，全国三百万人中有超过五十万的人说威尔士语。
语言的复兴横扫这个骄傲的小国，它是国家复兴的一部分，它的复兴尤其影响着青年人。
上个月，威尔士庆祝了国民大会二周年，这还是自1404年以来召集的第一次会议。
权利下放的背后意义在于恢复英国各个地区之间的平衡。
英格兰人多且富饶，所以总有资本夸夸其谈。
布莱尔将部分立法权从议会转移的目的是给俱乐部的其他成员，苏格兰、北爱尔兰和威尔士更多的话语权，并反击威胁到联邦理念的分裂势力。
威尔士人对权利下放却很少关注。
苏格兰为议会投了压倒性的票数，而威尔士人参会人数不足25%，投票人数不足1%。
所以，它的权利受到了相应的限制。
议会可以决定威斯敏斯特或欧盟的拨款如何花费。
但同爱丁堡的苏格兰会议不一样的是，威尔士议会不能制定法律。
但是既然已经建立了，威尔士人也渐渐喜欢上他们的议会。
许多人希望它能拥有更多的权利。
2003年，新的议政院成立了，这个没有多少实权的议会的重要性也随之增加。
这个议政院与其他很多新的建筑一起，将加的夫市从一个渐趋衰败的海港变成了一个具有巴尔的摩风格的海港城。
同时，欧盟近200万的拨款将用于解决贫困问题。
威尔士是西欧最贫困的地区之一，仅比西班牙、葡萄牙和希腊的生活水平高。
报纸和杂志上满是有关威尔士人的报道，这极大的增强了威尔士人的自尊。
除了大家熟悉的面孔，如迪伦.托马斯和理查德.伯顿，又增加了新面孔，如电影明星凯瑟琳.泽塔琼斯和歌剧演员布莱恩.特菲尔。
类似盐沼羊肉这样的当地特产受到欢迎。
威尔士现今拥有自己的航空公司Awyr Cymru。
Cymru是威尔士语，爱国者的土地的意思。
从亚瑟王时代以来，威尔士的标志就是红龙，人们将红龙印在T恤衫上、橄榄球衣上，甚至是手机外壳上，可以说是无处不在。

Scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constituents of matter, and the miracle of life. At the same time, today, the actions, and inaction, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet. Globalization is making the world smaller, faster and richer. Still, 9/11, avian flu, and Iran remind us that a smaller, faster world is not necessarily a safer world. Our world is bursting with knowledge - but desperately in need of wisdom. Now, when sound bites are getting shorter, when instant messages crowd out essays, and when individual lives grow more frenzied, college graduates capable of deep reflection are what our world needs. For all these reasons I believed - and I believe even more strongly today - in the unique and irreplaceable mission of universities. • (147 Words)
