There was a hope that they would change once they retired, and the furious winds did calm somewhat, but what remained steeled itself into bright, hard bitterness. “I always thought we’d…” my mother would begin, before launching into a precise listing of my father’s faults. The chattering words were recited so often, which may often occur to me today. As he listened, father would mutter angry threats and curses. It was a miserable close match.
It wasn’t the happiest marriage, but as their 60th anniversary approached, my sister and I decided to throw a party. We’d provide the cake, the balloons, the toasts, and they’d abide by one rule: no fighting. We had a wonderful day. In hindsight it was an important celebration, because soon after, things began to change for my parents. As Alzheimer's disease settled in, their marriage was about the

一、A Working Community1. I have a friend who is a member of the medical community. It does not say that, of course, on the stationery that bears her home address.This membership comes f rom her hospital work.我有一个朋友,她是医学界的一员。

当然,这在有她家庭住址的信笺上是找不到的。

她的这个成员身份来自她的医院工作。

2. I have another friend who is a member of the computer community. This is a fairl y new subdivision of our economy, and yet he finds his sense of place in it.我有另一个朋友,他是电脑圈的一员。

这是我们的经济的一个相当新的分支,但是他在这里找到了自己的归属感。

3. Other friends and acquaintances of mine are members of the academic communi ty, or the business community, or the journalistic community.我的其他朋友和熟人是学术界,商界,或新闻社区的成员。

4. Though you cannot find these on any map, we know where we belong。

虽然在任何地图上找不到这些,我们却知道自己的归属。

5、None of us, mind you, was born into these communities. Nor did we move into them, U-Hauling our possessions along with us. None has papers to prove we are card-carrying members of one such group or another. Yet it seems that more and more of us are identified by work these days, rather than by street.值得一提的是,我们没有谁一出生就属于这些社区,也不是后来我们搬了进来。

汉译英练习:1.作弊在美国大学里被认为是一大问题,如何对付它已成为教师会议上的热点话题。

有些教授说他们已不再要求学生写学期论文,因为许多学生购买事先写好的文章。

同时还有些学校的教师已经决定对日益泛滥的作弊风采取不只是口头上的行动。

不少教育者感到当学生对自己及他们的能力的信心增强时,他们就不太会去作弊。

大多数学生拍手欢迎教师们狠刹作弊风的策略,有篇校报社论说,如同警察抓超速行驶者(speeder)一样,打击作弊并非是为了抓住谁,而只是为了抓一儆百(spread the word)。

Cheating is considered as such a big problem in the American universities that how to deal with it has become a topical issue. Some professors haven’t asked their students for term papers any more, owing to the fact that many students purchase som e articles written in advance. And teachers in some educationa l institutions have decided to take non-verbal actions to put do wn the climate of increasingly overabundant cheating. Not a fe w educationalists have the idea that the strengthened confidenc e in themselves and their capabilities will make it impossible f or students to cheat. A vast majority of students applaud for t he drastic steps taken by the faculty to stop the climate of che ating. Just as a police catches a speeder, says an editorial in a campus newspaper, to crack down cheating is not to catch a s pecific person, but to spread the word.2.最近世界卫生组织(World Health Organization)宣布由于人们普遍接种牛痘(widespread vaccination)天花(smallpox)这种疾病几乎已经在全球大部分地区匿迹,这主要归功于1789年左右一位名叫爱德华杰纳(E dward Jenner)的乡村医生的引人注目的发现。

Unit Si1 On any person who desires such queer prices. New York will bestow the gift of loneliness and the gut of privacy. It is this largess that accounts for the presence within the city's walls of a considerable section of the population; for me residents of Manhattan are to a large extent strangers who have pulled up stakes somewhere and come to town seeking sanctuary or fulfillment or some greater or lesser grail. The capacity to make such dubious gifts is a mysterious quality of New York. It can destroy an individual, or it can fulfill him, depending a good deal on luck. No one should come to New York to live unless he is willing to be lucky.1纽约将孤寂与独处当作赠礼,赐予所有向往这份奇特礼物的人们。

纽约城内数量庞大的居民中,冲着这份赠礼而来此落脚的绝不在少数;曼哈顿也因此聚集了众多异乡客,他们背井离乡到此闯荡,有的为了寻求庇护,有的为了一展抱负,还有的为了实现心中或大或小的愿望。

纽约之所以神秘,便在于它总能赐予这般扑朔迷离的馈赠,能使人万劫不复,也能让人飞黄腾达,皆为运气使然。

南师大研究生英语翻译考试(2019-2020第一学期回忆版)一、句子翻译(一)英译汉1、Success is often just an idea away. (增词)成功(与否)往往只是一念之差。

2、It is all very well to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.(引申)有一只老虎在油箱里是很好的,但有一只老虎坐在驾驶座上则完全是另一回事。

思考:在本文中,“tank”是指汽车的“油箱”。

“老虎”一词在这里被隐喻地暗示着(a)强大而(b)令人恐惧的事物,将老虎放在油箱中可以为汽车提供动力(正如埃索(Esso)口号所宣传的那样),但是将老虎放在汽车的方向盘后面会使人感到恐惧。

3、People considered that what he had played on that occasion was no more than a Judas kiss. (直译加注)人们认为他在那种场合所表演的不过是犹大之吻(居心险恶)。

2006-2015年英语一真题翻译

2006年全国硕士研究生入学考试英语试题文章翻译Section I Use of English无家可归者占美国人口的比例不断增长。

这一比例如此之大,甚至地方政府也无法应付。

为帮助他们自立,联邦政府必须扶持工作培训项目,提高最低工资,资助建造低价房屋。

多少美国人无家可归,其数字存有争议。

据估计其数目从60万到300万不等。

尽管该数目有变化,分析人士确信另一个问题:即无家可归者的人数正不断增加,联邦政府的一项研究预言,十年后该数字将达到近1900万。

采取措施来帮助日益增长的这群人变得愈发艰难。

虽然他们每个人试图寻找一处寄宿处,可以得到一日三餐,夜里安眠,但是,很多人仍旧大半时间流浪在街头,部分原因是许多无家可归的成年人嗜酒或吸毒,还有人患有严重的精神障碍,尽管其他人虽无不良嗜好,也无精神障碍,但是缺少简单的生存技能来重新生活。

波士顿环球报记者克里斯·雷顿说,只有通过全面的项目满足了无家可归者的不同需求,这种状况才能改善。

爱德华·布莱克斯基,马萨诸塞州本特里学院的慈善中心主任,断言,“各种救助项目需要协调,我们所需的是一揽子计划”。

Section II Reading ComprehensionPart AText 1尽管有“无休止的民族差异的争议”,美国社会仍然是一架令人惊异的同化不同民族的机器。

它有着大众文化特有的“民主化的统一衣着和谈吐,随意和随心所欲”。

人们沉浸在19世纪出现的由百货商店发起的“消费文化”之中,这些商店“在优雅的环境中出售种类繁多的商品。

它们并不是只为满足知识精英人士的舒适型商店”,这些商店“任何人都可以光顾,无论阶层与背景如何,从而使得购物成为一种公共的和大众化的行为”。

大众媒体、广告和体育是其他同化的力量。

移民正在很快地融入这一共同文化,这可能并不高尚,但也并非有害。

G·R是国家移民论坛的作者之一。

他认为现在的移民状况既不能说是空前的,也不能说是抵制了同化现象。

英译汉1.One answer to the question of why misunderstanding or rejection happens might be that many of us naively assume there are sufficient similarities among peoples of the world to enable us to successfully exchange information or feelings, solve problems or mutual concerns, cement business relationships, or just make the kind of impression we wish to make. (Para2)为什么会产生误解或反对呢?答案之一就是,大部分人天真地认为世界上的人有足够的相似之处,可以让我们成功地交流信息或者感受,解决共同关注的问题,加强商业关系,或者只是产生我们所希望产生的印象。

Promising are the cross-cultural studies seeking to support Darwin’s theory that facial expressions are universal and researchers found that the particular visible pattern on the face, the combination of muscles contracted for anger, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, happiness is the same for all members of our species, but this seems helpful until it is realized that a person’s cultural upbringing determines whether or not that emotion will be displayed or suppressed, as well as on which occasions and to what degree. (Para3) 力求证明达尔文关于面部表情是共同的这一理论的跨文化研究给人极大的希望,研究者发现脸部的某些看得见的形状,即因愤怒、恐惧、惊讶、悲伤、厌恶、幸福而产生的系列肌肉收缩,我们人类各成员都是一样的。

Error Correction (10*1 point)Directions: There is one error in each line marked in number, correct them and write the right on the Answer Sheet.An outstanding example of hardwired capabilities with greatflexibility for programming by us is language. Specialists agree that“the human brain genetically programmed f or language 1 development,” and that“speech can be explained only on the basis of an innate language-processed capacity within our brain.” Unlike 2the rigidity that is displayed in the instinct behavior of animals, 3 therefore, there is tremendous flexibility in a human’s use of this 4 hardwired capacity for language.A specific language is not hardwired into our brains, and we are 5 preprogrammed with the capacity for learning languages. If twolanguage are spoken in the home, a child can learn both. If exposed 6to the third language, the child can learn it also. One girl was 7exposed to a number of langu8ges from babyhood. By the time shewas five she spoke eight fluently. In the view of such innate abilities 8it is not surprise that a linguist said that chimpanzee experiments 9with sign language “actually prove that chimps are capable of even 10the most rudimentary forms of human language.”IV. Reading (40 points)Section One Reading Comprehension (30*1 point)Passage 1David Frost ——AutobiographyDavid FrostLooked at one way, it is faintly ludicrous that Sir David Frost should be writing his autobiography already. That he should have written just the first 30 years’ worth might be thought strange. Here he is, not yet 55 years old, producing a volume of 528 pages that takes us no further than l969.It is, true, the period of his life that established his name and fortune, that swift rise from undergraduate cabaret turn to star host on both sides of the Atlantic, joint founder of an ambitious ITV company and long since able to invite show business stars, business tycoons and a British Prime Minister to breakfast at three days’ notice. (An event recalled in his book with such empty indifference that you cannot decidewhether the comprehensive name-dropping is intended to impress or just a habit. ) And yet David Frost, a significant figure in British television, certainly in the rapidly changing environment of the 1960’s, remains something of a mystery. Never far from positions of influence, wealthier from his broadcasting activities than all but the biggest moguls, he is in many ways on the edge of things.His book, like his career, perhaps, is as fascinating as it is unsatisfactory. The 1ength is due to its liberal resort to program transcripts, which yield verbatim exchanges with his many interviewees as well as detailed recall of the highs and lows of That Was The Week That Was and the scripting process that achieved them.The private Frost is to be caught only in passing, as he remains true to his preface: “Where there was a choice between a’60s tale and a personal one I have tried always to include the former.”The outcome is, I think, an insider’s book, dependent on remembering the times or knowing the people. But at that level, it is highly suggestive of its era, offers a view from a unique angle, yields some new insights -- into the formation of London Weekend Television, for instance ——and earns its place in the history of British Television. Like its author.1. The autobiography covers the author’sA. last thirty years.B. life after 1969.C. life before 1969D. first 55 years.2. David Frost isA. an inf1uential TV host.B. a famous movie star.C. an ambitious politician.D. a fascinating novelist.3. The autobiography is described as an insider’s book because it requires a knowledge ofA. all his personal experiences.B. his unique insights into British history.C. the development of British television.D. what was really happening in the 1960s.Passage 2He Came in on Cat PawsQuietly, almost unnoticed by a world sunk into the Great Depression, Germany on Jan. 30, l933, was handed to a monster. Adolf Hitler arrived, not in jackboots at the head of his Nazi legions but on cat paws, creeping in the side door.The president, Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, 85 and doddering, hated Hitler and all he represented. In 193l, after their first meeting, Hindenburg said Hitler “might become minister of posts but never chancellor”. In l932 Hitler challenged Hindenburg. The president ——Protestant, Prussian, a conservative monarchist -- won with the votes of Socialists, Unions, Centrist Catholics and Liberal Democrats.Hitler ——Catholic, Austrian and a former tramp-carried upper ——class Protestants, Prussian landowners and monarchists.Nearly senile and desperate for any way to establish order in the fractious environment, Hindenburg fel1 prey to intriguers. Papen began plotting to bring himself to power and his supposed friend Schleicher to the top of the army. Papen offered Hindenburg a government with Hitler’s support but without Hitler in the cabinet. Hindenburg made Papen chance11or and Schleicher defense minister.In the July 1932 parliamentary elections, the Nazis won 230 of 608 seats, and Hitler demanded the chancellorship; Hindenburg refused. Papen lost a confidence vote in August, and his government fell after losing in the fourth election in a year in November. Schleicher, whose very name means “intriguer”, turned on Papen, persuading Hindenburg to name him chancellor. Hitler’s propagandist Joseph Goebbels noted: “He won’t last long.”To get revenge, Papen proposed sharing power with Hitler in January 1933; Hitler agreed, but with Papen as vice chancellor. Ever eager for order, Hindenburg shifted once again and fired Schleicher. “I am sure,”the president said “I shall not regret this action in heaven. Schleicher replied bitterly, “After this breach of trust, sir, I am not sure you will go to heaven.”Schleicher would later say: “I stayed in power only 57 days, and on each and every one of them I was betrayed 57 times. Don’t ever speak to me of German loyalty!At noon on Jan. 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was sworn in as chancellor. Within one month, the Reichstag burned and civil liberties were suspended. Within two months, the Enabling Act stripped parliament of power and made Hitler dictator. On April 1, Hitler decreed a boycott of Jewish business. On April 4, he created the Reich Defense Council and began secretly rearming Germany. On July 14, Hitler made the Nazi Party “the only political party in Germany”.As they sowed, so they reaped. In the Blood Purge of 1934, a Nazi SS squad murdered Kurt von Schleicher in the doorway of his home. Franz von Papen lingered on, so powerless an errand boy for Hitler that he was acquitted at the Nuremberg trials.4. The author says that Hitler came into power “On cat paws” becauseA. he seized power illegally.B. he seized power by military force.C. he quietly took advantage of the internal conflict.D. he cleverly took advantage of the Depression.5. Hitler first asked to be made chancellor whenA. Papen lost a confidence vote.B. Hitler had won a third of the votes.C. Hindenburg fired Schleicher.D. Schleicher was fired.6. The chancellor was held byA. Papen, Schleicher, and then Hitler.B. Schleicher, Papen, and then Hitler.C. Hindenburg, Schleicher, and then Hitler.D. Hindenburg, Papen, and then Hitler.Passage 3Mercedes-Benz Gets Turned Upside downIris Rossner has seen eastern Germany customers weep for joy when they drive away in shiny, new Mercedes-Benz sedans.“They have tears in their eyes and keep saying how lucky they are,”says Rossner, the Mercedes employee responsib1e for post-delivery celebrations. Rossner has also seen the French pop corks on bottles of champagne as their national f1ag was hoisted above a purchase. And she has seen American business executives, Japanese tourists and Russian politicians travel thousands of miles to a Mercedes plant in southwestern Germany when a classic sedan with the trade mark three-pointed star was about to roll off the assemb1y line and into their lives. Those were the good economic miracle of the l960s and ended in l99l.Times have changed. “Ten years ago, we had clear leadership in the market,”says Mercedes spokesman Horst Krambeer.“But over this period, the market has changed drastically. We are now in a pitched battle. The Japanese are part1y responsible, but Mercedes has had to learn the hard way that even German firms like BMW and Audi have made efforts to rise to our standards of technical proficiency.”Mercedes experienced one of its worst years ever in 1992. The auto maker’s worldwide car sales fell by 5 percent from the previous year, to a low of 527, 500. Before the decline, in 1988, the company could sell close to 600,000 cars per year. In Germany alone, there were 30, 000 fewer new Mercedes registrations last year than in 1991. As a result,production has plunged by almost 50,000 cars to 529,400 last year, a level well beneath the company’s potential capacity of 650, 000. Mercedes’competitors have been catching up in the United States, the world’s largest car market. In 1986, Mercedes soldl00, 000 vehicles in America; by 1991, the number had declined to 59,000. Over the last two years, the struggling company has lost a slice of its US market share to BMW, Toyota and Nissan. And BMW outsold Mercedes in America last year for the first time in its history. Meanwhile, just as Mercedes began making some headway in Japan, a notorious1y difficult market, the Japanese economy fell on hard times and the company saw its sales decline by 13 percent in that country.Revenues will hardly improve this year, and the time has come for getting down to business. At Mercedes, that means cutting payrolls, streamlining production and opening up to consumer needs--revolutionary steps for a company that once considered itself beyond improvement.7. The author’s intention in citing various nationalities’ interests in Mercedes is to illustrate Mercedes’A. sale strategies.B. market monopoly.C. superior quality.D. past record.8. Mercedes is having a hard time becauseA. it is lagging behind in technology.B. Japan is turning to BMW for cars.C. its competitors are catching up.D. sales in America have dropped by 13%.9. In the good years Mercedes could sell aboutA. 527,500 cars.B. 529,400 cars.C. 600,000 cars.D. 650,000 cars.10. What caused the decline of Mercedes’ sales in Japan?A. Japan is a very difficu1t market.B. The state of the economy there.C. Competition from other car companies.D. BMW and Audi’s improved technical standards.Passage 4What our society suffers from most today is the absence of consensus about what it and life in it ought to be. Such consensus cannot be gained from society's present stage, or from fantasies about what it ought to be. For that the present is too close and too diversified, and the future too uncertain, to make believable claims about it. A consensus in the present hence can be achieved only through a shared understanding of the past, as Homer’s epics p informed those who lived centuries later what it meant to be Greek, and by what images and ideals they were to live their lives and organize their societies.Most societies derive consensus from a long history, a language all their own, a common religion, common ancestry. The myths by which they live are based on all of these. But the United States is a country of immigrants, coming from a great variety of nations. Lately, it has been emphasized that an asocial, narcissistic (⾃我陶醉的) personality has become characteristic of Americans, and that it is this type of personality that makes for the lack of well-being, because it prevents us from achieving consensus that would counteract a tendency to withdraw into private worlds. In his study of narcissism, Christopher Lasch says that modern man, “tortured by self consciousness, turns to new therapies not to free himself of his personal worries but to find meaning and purpose in life, to find something to live for”. There is widespread distress because national morale has declined, and we have lost an earlier sense of national vision and purpose.Contrary to rigid religions or political beliefs, as are found in totalitarian (极权主义) societies, our culture is one of great individual differences, at least in principle and in theory. But this leads to disunity, even chaos. Americans believe in the value of diversity, but just because ours is a society based on individual diversity, it needsconsensus about some dominating ideas more than societies based on uniform origin of their citizens. Hence, if we are to have consensus, it must be based on a myth ——a vision ——about a common experience, a conquest that made us Americans, as the myth about the conquest of Troy formed the Greeks. Only a common myth can offer relief from the fear that life is without meaning or purpose. Myths permit us to examine our place in the world by comparing it to a shared idea. Myths are shared fantasies that form the tie that binds the individual to the members of his group. Such myths help to ward off feelings of isolation, guilt, anxiety, and purposelessness ——in short; they combat isolation and the breakdown of social standards and values.11. In the author’s view, the greatest trouble with the US society lies in theA) lack of serious disagreement over the organizations of social life.B) non-existence of unanimity on the forms the society should take.C) general denying of its conformity with what it was unexpected to be.D) public negation of the consensus on how to conduct social reforms.12. Homer’s epics mentioned in Paragraph 1 exemplify the fact thatA) the present is varying too fast to be caught up easily.B) the future may be so indefinite as to be unpredictable.C) the past can help to shape a consensus in the present.D) the past determines social moralities for later generations.13. The a social personality of Americans results fromA) the multiracial constituents of the US society.B) the absence of a common religion and ancestry.C) the want of shared myths they possess in life.D) the obstruction of achieving a general agreement.14. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Christopher Lasch is most probablyA) an earnest nationalist. B) an advanced psychologist.C) a radical reformer. D) a social historian.15. The author concludes that only shared myths can help Americans .A) to bring about the uniformity of their culture.B) to diminish their great individual differences.C) to avoid the sense of being isolated and anxious.D) to regain the feelings of social values and morale.Passage 5Genetic engineering holds great potential payoffs for farmers and consumers by making crops resistant to pets, diseases, and even chemicals used to kill surrounding weeds. But new research raises concerns that altering crops to withstand such threats may pose new risks ——from none other than the weeds themselves. This is due to the weed’s ability to acquire genes for the neighboring agricultural crops. Researchersfound that when a weed cross-breeds with a farm-cultivated relative and thus acquires new genetic traits ——possibly including artificial genes engineered to make the crop hardier the hybrid (杂交) weed can pass along those traits to future generations.“The result may be very hard, hard-to-kill weeds,”said Allison Snow, a plant ecologist at Ohio state university in Columbus who conducted the experiments over the past six years along with two colleague. They presented their results last week at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Madison, Wisconsin. The findings suggest the genetic engineering done with the aim of improving crops ——giving them new genetic traits such as resistance to herbicides (chemicals which kill weeds) or pest ——could ultimately have unintended and harmful consequences for the crops if weeds acquire the same trait and use it to out compete the crops. “Gene movement from crops to their wild relatives is an ongoing process that can be u1timately harmful to crops,” said Snow.“The results of the experiments challenge a common belief that hybrids gradually die out over several generations,”Snow explained. “There has been an assumption that genes would not persist in crop-weed hybrids because hybrids are thought to be less successful at reproducing,”she said. However, Snow’s research contradicted his assumption: Hybrid wild radishes survived in all six generations that were grown since the study began.Although the genetic traits the scientists monitored were natural and not genetically engineered, the findings nonetheless suggest that artificial improvements introduced into crops through genetic engineering could spread to weeds and become permanent traits of the weed population.So strengthened, the weeds may pose a serious risk to the long-term health of agricultural crops. The danger exists in a number of crops plants ——including rice, sunflower, and carrots ——that are closely related to weeds with which they compete. Snow is concerned that the transfer of genes from crops to related weeds could rapidly render many herbicides ineffectual. That situation, she said, would be much like bacterial disease acquiring resistance to antibiotics.Because plant hybrids arise in a single generation, however, it could happen much more quickly.“Modern agriculture is heavily dependent on herbicides,”she said, “so people will notice when those do not work anymore.”16. The word “This” (Line 4, Para. 1) refers toA) the results of recent research B) dangers inherent in the nature of weedsC) risk of altering crop’s genetic make-upsD) threats posed by chemical used to kill weeds17. According to the passage, genetic engineering can be used toA) kill weeds through cross-breeding B) make crops free from chemicalsC) improve the yield and quality of most cropsD) make crops resistant to chemical fertilizers18. Genetically modified crops could have harmful effects becauseA) genetically modified plants can bring new diseasesB) genetically modified plants are likely to develop into weedsC) gene movement between cultivated plants and wild ones is inevitableD) hybrids are generally more successful at breeding than natural plants19. The potential that some weeds may do serious harm to genetically modified plants is greatest forA) crops who rely on herbicides and pesticides for effective harvestsB) areas in which cross-breeding is kept to a minimumC) agricultural crops grown for their grainsD) crops that are intimately related to their weeds20. According to the author, the main impact gene transfer between crops and weeds could have isA) the rapid deve1opment of unintended plant hybridsB) the development of pest-and-herbicide-resistant weedsC) the collapse of the agricultural industry D) the dying-out of hybridsPassage 6Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty. That compulsion has resulted in robotics science of conferring various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close.As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot-drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with sub-millimeter accuracy ——far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves ——goals that pose a real challenge. “while we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error,”says Dave Lavery, manager of a robotics program atNASA, “we can not give a robot enough common sense to reliably interact with a dynamic world.”Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed results. Despite a spell of optimism in the l960s and l970s when it appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 20l0, researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.What they found, in attempting to model thought, is that the human brain's roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented ——and human perception far more complicated ——than previously imagined. They have built robot that can recognize the error of a machine panel by a fraction of a millimeter in a controlled factory environment. But the human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediately disregard the 98 Percent that is irrelevant, instantaneously focusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a big crowd. The most advanced computer system on earth can not approach that kind of ability, and neuroscientists still do not know quite how we do it.2l. Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated inA) the use of machines to produce science fiction.B) the wide use of machines in manufacturing industry.C) the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous work.D) the elite’s cunning tackling of dangerous and boring work.22. The word “gizmos” (Line 1, Para. 2) most probably meansA) devices. B) experts. C) programs. D) creatures.23. According to Paragraph 3, what is beyond man's ability now is to design a robot thatA) can fulfill delicate tasks like performing brain surgery.B) can respond independently to a changing world.C) can have a little common sense. D) can interact with human beings verbally.24. According to the passage, which of the following can robots do now?A) Make a few decisions for themselves.B) Deal with some errors with human intervention.C) Improve factory environments. D) Cultivate human creativity.25. The author uses the example Of a monkey to argue that robots areA) expected to copy human brain in internal structure.B) able to perceive abnormalities immediately.C) best used in a controlled environment.D) far less able than human brain in focusing on relevant information.Passage 7On an average of six times a day, a doctor in Holland practices “active”euthanasia: intentionally administering a lethal drug to a terminally ill patient who has asked to be relieved of suffering. Twenty times a day, life-prolonging treatment is withheld or withdrawn when there is no hope that it can affect an ultimate cure. “Active”euthanasia remains a crime on the Dutch statute books punishable by l2 years in prison. But a series of court cases over the past l5 years has made it clear that a competent physician who carries it out will not be prosecuted.Euthanasia, often called “mercy killing”, is a crime everywhere in Western Europe. But more and more doctors and nurses in Britain, West Germany, Holland and elsewhere readily admit to practicing it, most often in the “passive”form of withholding or withdrawing treatment. The long simmering euthanasia issue has lately boiled over into a sometimes fierce public debate, with both sides claiming the mantle of ultimate righteousness. Those opposed to the practice see themselves up-holding sacred principles of respect for life, while those in favor raise the banner of humane treatment. After years on the defensive, the advocates now seem to be gaining ground. Recent polls in Britain show that 72 percent of British subjects favor euthanasia in some circumstances. An astonishing 76 percent of respondents to a poll taken late last year in France said they would like the law changed to decriminalize mercy killings.Reasons for the latest surge of interest in euthanasia are not hard to find. Europeans, like Americans, are now living longer. The average European male now lives to the age of 72, women to almost 80. As Derek Humphrey, a leading British advocate of “rational euthanasia”says, “lingering chronic diseases have replaced critical illnesses as the primary cause of death.”And so the euthanasists have begun to press their case with greater force. They argue that every human being should have the right to “die with dignity”, by which they usually mean the right to escape the horrors of a painful or degrading hospitalization. Most advocates of voluntary euthanasia have argued that the right to die should be accorded only to the terminally and incurably ill, but the movement also includes a small minority who believe in euthanasia for anyone who rationally decides to take his own life.That right is unlikely to get legal recognition any time in the near future. Even in the Netherlands, the proposals now before Parliament would restrict euthanasia to a small number of cases and would surround even those with elaborate safeguards.26. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT true?A) “Active” euthanasia is regarded as a crime by Dutch law.B) The doctor who carries out euthanasia will be charged.C) An unqualified doctor carrying out euthanasia will be accused.。

1.An abstract serves an important function in a research report. It communicates the scope of your paper and the topics discussed to your reader. In doing so, it facilitates research. Abstracts help scientists to locate materials that are relevant to their research from among published papers, and many times scientists will only read a paper’s abstract in order to determine whether the paper w ill be relevant to them. Considering your audience and their needs will help you to determine what should be included in your abstract.——摘要在一份研究报告中发挥着重要作用。

2.An informative abstract acts as a report in miniature, encapsulating the whole paper. It summarizes the key information from every major section in the body of the report, and provides the key facts and conclusions from the body of the report. A good way to develop an informative abstract is to devote a sentence or two to each of the major parts of the report. If space permits, you can provide contextual information such as background of the problem and the significance of the research, but you can also omit contextual information because the abstract is not supposed to serve as an introduction to the subject matter of the report----your introduction will serve that role. You should, however, include key numerical facts to make the informative abstract brief and readers will not be surprised to see key data in an informative abstract.——信息性摘要作为微型报告,概括整篇论文。

邀请名人(eminent person)做广告,只要商品是货真价实(genuine products of fair prices),名人又愿意,这应该是广告技巧的上策,会产生很强的名人效应。

VIP effect To invite eminent persons to help make advertisements should be regarded as one of the best advertising strategies and could, of course, produce a spectacular VIP effect, so to speak, provided that those celebrities are perfectly willing to accept the invitation and, more importantly, the products to be advertised are genuine and of fair prices.但是商品质量差,广告又言过其实,又请名人做广告,这种广告一时也许会有一些好的影响,但最终是砸了自己的牌子,也坍了名人的台,影响了名人的信誉。

Sometimes, while a commodity is of inferior quality, the advertisement is full of words lavishing praise on it. If a celebrity shows up as an image agent for such a product, the advertisement could be temporarily successful before it turns the brand of the product in question notorious and, more disastrously, ruins the reputation of the eminent person thereafter.因此,名人在接广告时要慎之又慎。

As men slowly learn to master disease, control floods, prevent famines and stop wars, fewer people die every year; and in consequence the population of the world is steadily increasing. In 1925 there were about 2000 million people in the world; by the end of the century there may well be over 4000 million.When numbers rise, the extra mouths must be fed. New lands must be brought under cultivation, or land already farmed made to yield larger crops. In some areas the accessible land is largely so intensively cultivated that it will be difficult to make it provide more food. In some areas the population is so dense that the land is parceled out in units too tiny to allow for much improvement in farming methods. Were a large part of this farming population drawn off into industrial occupation, the land might be farmed much more productively by modern methods.There is now a race for science, technology, and industry to keep the output of food rising faster than the number of people to be fed. New strains of crops are being developed which will thrive in unfavorable climates; there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle in Siberia and North America; irrigation and dry-farming methods bring arid lands under the plough, dams hold back the waters of great rivers to ensure water for the fields in all seasons and to provide electric power for new industries; industrial chemistry provides fertilizers to suit particular soils; airplanes spray crops to destroy locusts and many plant diseases.

They use what he terms a “restricted〞 code of speech, whereas most teachers use an “elaborated〞 code, which is familiar to middle-class children.So it seems that working-class children fail to take full advantage of the educational system, not because they are less bright than middle-class children, but because the language of the classroom is alien to them.46.What do you know from the first paragraph?A.B.Middle-class children do as well as working-class children at schoolC.School teachers and middle-class children bear less similarity in language.D.School teachers and working-class children bear more similarities in language.47.Middle-school children do better at school because .A.they have learned much more than working-class children before they go to schoolB.they are brighter than working-class childrenC.school teachers give them more helpD.they can understand their teachers better than the working-class children in class48.The word “alien〞 in the last paragraph means .A.difficult to understandB. strangeC. newD. stupid49.The gap between working-class children and their teachers can be narrowed only by .A.giving them more helpB.C.improving their languageD.giving them more homework to do50.T he author’s main purpose in writing this article is to .A.argue a beliefB. describe a phenomenonC. be entertainingD. propose a solution科目代码:211 科目名称:翻译硕士英语第 4 页共 7 页Passage 3Every year thousands of people are arrested and taken to court for shop-lifting. In Britain alone, about HK $ 3 000 000’s worth of goods are stolen from shops every week. This amounts to something like HK $ 150 million a year, and represents about 4 per cent of the shops’ total stock. As a result of this “shrinkage〞 as the shops call it, the honest public has to pay higher prices.Shoplifters can be divided into three main categories: the professionals, the deliberate amateur, and the people who just can’t help themselves. The professionals do not pose much of a problem for the store detectives, who, assisted by closed circuit television, two-way mirrors and various other technological devices, can usually cope with them. The professionals tend to go for high value goods in parts of the shops where security measures are tightest. And, in any case, they account for only a small percentage of the total losses due to shoplifting.The same applies to the deliberate amateur who is, so to speak, a professional in training. Most of them get caught sooner or later, and they are dealt with severely by the courts.The real problem is the person who gives way to a sudden temptation and is in all other respects an honest and law-abiding citizen. Contrary to what one would expect, this kind of shoplifter is rarely poor. He does not steal because he needs the goods and cannot afford to pay for them. He steals because he simply cannot stop himself. And there are countless others who, because of age, sickness or plain absent-mindedness, simply forget to pay for what they take from the shops. When caught, all are liable to prosecution, and the decision whether to send for the police or not is in the hands of the store manager.51.W hy does the honest public have to pay higher prices when they go to the shops?A.There is “shrinkage〞 in market values.B.Many goods are not available.C.Goods in many shops lack variety.D.There are many cases of shoplifting.52.The third group of people steal things because theyA.are mentally illB. are quite absent-mindedC. can not resist the temptationD. can not afford to pay for goods53.According to the passage, law-abiding citizens .A.can possibly steal things because of their povertyB.can possibly take away good without payingC.have never stolen goods from the supermarketsD.are difficult to be caught when they steal things科目代码:211 科目名称:翻译硕士英语第 5 页共 7 页54.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the main types of shop-lifting?A.A big percentage of the total losses are caused by the professionals.B.The deliberate amateurs will be punished severely if they get caught.C.People would expect that those w ho can’t help themselves are poor.D.The professionals don’t cause a lot of trouble to the store detectives.55.T he aircraft hijack situation is used in order to show that .A.“ the professionals do not pose much of a problem for the stores〞B.some people “simply forget to pay for what they take from the shops〞C.“the honest public has to pay higher prices〞D.the third type of shoplifters are dangerous peoplePassage 4Recent findings in the southeast corner of Washington indicate that prehistoric hunters roamed the area 10 000 years ago, and perhaps even earlier. Remains of Marmes Man uncovered at the site, among the oldest ever found on the North American continent, consist of three separate, broken skullcaps and other skeletal material from more than one individual. The site itself, a cave located above the convergence of the Snake and Palouse Rivers, records the longest span of human existence found in the New World, and hints that man has lived in North America for close to 13 000 years.Although radiocarbon dating places samples unearthed near Lewisville, Texas, as early as 38 000 years ago, some archeologists contend that accidental fires rather than human hearths produced the charcoal. Pieces of stone that may have been fashioned for choppers and scrapers have also been found at Lewisville and other extremely ancient sites, but these, too, are disputed.56.Probable remains of Marmes Man were uncovered .A.near Lewisville, TexasB. in Washington State UniversityC. in a caveD. underneath a river57.According to the passage, how many years has man lived in North A merica?A. 10 000—13 000B. 12 000--- 13 000C. 19 000---25 000D. 30 00058.All of the following were found at the site in Washington EXCEPTA.broken skullcapsB. fossil animal bonesC. a bone needleD. a primitive wheel59.The passage implies that ancient man probably knewA.how to build a wheelB. how to sewC. how to readD. none of the above科目代码:211 科目名称:翻译硕士英语第 6 页共 7 页60.T he article indicates thatA.the Snake River area has a great deal of rainB.the expedition took place at Washington State UniversityC.the archeologists used needles as toolsD.radiocarbon is used to determine the age of plant or animal originIV.Translation (30 points)Directions: Translate the following passages.

研究生考试英语翻译试题&详解
46. Directions: Translate the following text from English to Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET2. (10 points)
It is speculated that gardens arise from a basic need in the individuals who made them: the need for creative expression. There is no doubt that gardens evidence an impossible urge to create, express, fashion, and beautify and that
self-expression is a basic human urge; (46) Yet when one looks at the photographs of the garden created by the homeless, it strikes one that , for all their diversity of styles, these gardens speak of various other fundamental urges, beyond that of decoration and creative expression。

One of these urges had to do with creating a state of peace in the midst of turbulence, a “still point of the turning world,” to borrow a phrase from T. S. Eliot. (47)A sacred place of peace, however crude it may be, is a distinctly human need, as opposed to shelter, which is a distinctly animal need. This distinction is so much so that where the latter is lacking, as it is for these unlikely gardens, the former becomes all the more urgent. Composure is a state of mind made possible by the struct uring of one’s relation to one’s environment. (48) The gardens of the homeless which are in effect homeless gardens introduce form into an urban environment where it either didn’t exist or was not discernible as such. In so doing they give composure to a segment of the inarticulate
environment in which they take their stand。

Another urge or need that these gardens appear to respond to, or to arise from is so intrinsic that we are barely ever conscious of its abiding claims on us. When we are deprived of green, of plants, of trees, (49)most of us give into a demoralization of spirit which we usually blame on some psychological conditions, until one day we find ourselves in garden and feel the oppression vanish as if by magic. In most of the homeless gardens of New York City the actual cultivation of plants is unfeasible, yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attempts to call arrangement of materials, an institution of colors, small pool of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals. On display here are various fantasy elements whose reference, at some basic level, seems to be the natural world. (50)It is this implicit or explicit reference to nature that fully justifies the use of word garden though in a “liberated” sense, to describe these synthetic constructions. In them we can see biophilia- a yearning for contact with nonhuman life-assuming uncanny representational forms。

详解:
2013年的翻译文章选自一本小品文集:Gardens: An Essay on the Human Condition。

同往常一样,英语一的翻译文章,出题人习惯于从某一书中去改编。

2013年考研英语一翻译这篇文章就改编自这本书的59页到61页其中一篇。

今年的翻译题总体的感觉是句子的结构不太难,但是很多的词汇成为表达的难点,当然,考到了一些重要的核心的词汇,都在课堂上讲到过,最后冲刺班讲的介词短语“虽然、尽管”的意思介词短语是固定的短语是确定的,所以说表达起来并不是太难。

总体来说,五个翻译句子涉及到了分词作定语、定语从句、状语从句以及插入语的翻译。

第46题考查了时间状语从句和it引导的形式主语句的翻译。

第47和49题都有关于定语从句的翻译。

同时,第47题和50题都考查到了插入语的翻译。

考生在英翻汉的时候建议采用拆分组合的方法来解题。

即,首先将主句的主谓宾弄清楚,然后按照意群划分句子,最后在按照汉语的表达习惯,将各部分意群串成一个完整的,合乎中文表达方式的句子。

46【句子分析】本句的主干为:it strikes one,其中it为形式主语,真正的主语为that引导的主语从句。

句首是when 引导的时间状语从句。

Beyond后的that指代的是上文的diversity。

For all在句中是“尽管”的意思。

【译文】然而当人们观看那些由无家可归的人创建的花园的照片时,人们能会深深的震撼。

因为这些花园不仅风格各异,在它的装饰和创造性之外,也透露出了其他的基本的人类需求。

47【句子分析】本句的主干为:A sacred place of peace...is a distinctly human need。

主谓之间插入了一个however引导的让步状语从句。

as opposed to shelter后为which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰shelter。

In effect是“事实上,本质上”的意思。

【译文】然而,一方神圣的净土,无论多么粗陋不堪,都是人类特有的需求,这和庇护所相
反,那只是动物的特有需求。

48【句子分析】本句的主干为:The gardens of the homeless...introduce form...where引导的是修饰environment的定语从句,在句子中作地点状语。

【译文】无家可归的人的花园,事实上是无家可归的花园。

它把一种形式引入城市环境。

这里要么花园不存在,要么即便存在也未为人知。

49【句子分析】本句的主干为:most of us give into a demoralization of spirit...which紧跟spirit之后引导的是定语从句。

Until引导的是时间状语从句,其中as if是“好像,正如”的意思。

【译文】我们当中大多数人都会陷入意志消沉之中,我们经常把它归咎于某种心理状况,直到有一天我们置身于花园之中,发现这种压抑感神奇般地消失了。

50【句子分析】本句是it is...that.。

形式的强调句型。

强调的部分是主语this implicit or explicit reference to nature。

主句的谓语动词是justifies。

In a...sense是“在某种意义上,从某种意义上”的意思。

【译文】正是这种对自然或直白或隐晦的参照充分证明了用花园这个词来描述这些合成建筑是合理的,尽管是从广义上来说。
