翻译】考研英语历年真题逐句翻译
【翻译】考研英语历年真题逐句翻译（2017年）英语二第一段①Today,widespread social pressure to immediately go to college in conjunction with increasingly high expectations in a fast-moving world often causes students to completely overlook the possibility of taking a gap year.②A fter all, if everyone you know is going to college in the fall, it seems silly to stay back a year, doesn't it?③And after going to school for 12 years, it doesn't feel natural to spend a year doing something that isn’t academic.翻译译文：如今，(高中毕业后)即刻升入大学这一普遍社会压力，加之快速发展的世界(对人们)越来越高的期望，往往导致学生们完全忽略了经历间隔年这一选择。
毕竟，如果你认识的每个人都将在秋季步入大学，你一个人延迟一年入学似乎很傻，不是吗?而且在上了12年学之后，花一年时间做学习之外的事也感觉不大正常。
第二段①But while this may be true, it’s not a good enough reason to condemn gap years.②There's always a constant fear of fall ing behind everyone else on the socially perpetuated “race to the finish line,” whether that be toward graduate school, medical school or a lucrative career.③But despite common misconceptions, a gap year does not hinder the success of academic pursuits-in fact, it probably enhances it.翻译译文：但这即使是事实，也不足以成为谴责间隔年的理由。

Can this merely be coincidence? One theory,dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the alphabetically disadvantaged, is that the rot sets in early.
词汇：
coincidence//n. 巧合;相符，一致
rot //n.腐烂;胡说，谬论
rot setin //情况开始变坏
结构：
One theory, dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the alphabetically disadvantaged, (主语是one theory;dreamt up …是插入了一个过去分词短语做定语;后面的enjoyed by …也是过去分词短语作定语)//is that the rot sets in early(系动词和that 表语从句).
译文：
难道这仅仅是巧合吗?有一种理论是那些姓氏排名不占优势的人在闲暇时臆想出的，认为这种倒霉事情早就开始了。

The behavioral sciences have been slow to change 0.5分//partly because the explanatory items often seem to be directly observed 1分 //and partly because other kinds of explanations have been hard to find.0.5分(31 words)词汇要点：1) explanatory //adj. 解释的，说明的2) item //n. 项目，条款，细节，依据3) observe //v. 观察，观测;遵守结构要点：1) 主要句式是一个主句和两个并列的原因状语从句The behavioral sciences have been slow to change partly because …and partly because …。
汉译逻辑要点：1) change 不宜翻译为“变化”，因为前面的主语是The behavioral sciences ，行为科学不是“变化慢慢”，而是“发展缓慢”。
2) explanatory item 直译是“解释性的项目或者条款”，这里是指“解释行为的依据”;所以下文的other kind of explanation 也是针对它而言的，可以翻译为“其他的解释依据，或者其他的解释方式”。
3) to be directly observed 是不定式的被动态，可以用被字结构翻译“被直接观察到的”;最好少用“被”字，可以用中文“是字句”翻译：是直接观察到的。

The humiliation continues. Atuniversity graduation ceremonies, the ABCs proudly get their awards first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are literally having a ZZZ. 词汇：humiliation //n. 羞辱，难堪ceremony //n. 仪式literally //adv. 照原文地，精确地;简直，确实结构：At university graduationceremonies, the ABCs proudly get their awards first(分号隔开的第一个并列句); //by the time they reach the Zysmans (by the time 连接的时间状语从句)//most people are literally having a ZZZ(主句).译文：这种难堪并没有结束。
大学毕业典礼上，姓氏字母考靠前的人率先骄傲地拿到了毕业证;等轮到Zysman 的时候，大多数人基本上是鼾声大作了。
翻译思路：不可译“不可译”这个话题很大，对于译者也很沉重。
初学翻译的人，需要做一个大概了解。
所谓“不可译”就是说语言中有些因素是没有办法翻译出来的。
比如，在At university graduation ceremonies, the ABCs proudly get their awards first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most peopleare literally having a ZZZ.这个句子中，最不能翻译的是Zysmans 和ZZZ 这两个词。

One difficulty is 0.5分//thatalmost all of what is called behavioral science 0.5分//continues to trace behavior 0.5分//to states of mind, feelings, traits of character, human nature, and so on 0.5分. (29 words)词汇要点：1) trace //v. 跟踪，追踪;找到，发现，寻找2) trait //n. 显著的特点，特性，品质;少许，一点点结构要点：1) 整个句子的主干One difficulty is that …，that 引导的是表语从句;2) 表语从句的主语是almost all of what is calledbehavioral science ，其中what is …算是介词of 所带的宾语从句;3) 表语从句的谓语是continues to trace …to …。
汉译逻辑要点：1) what is called …，被称之为…，即“所谓的…”。
2) trace …to …意思是“find the origin of sth. according to sth.”，翻译为汉语是“根据…来寻找…的根源”。
3) state of mind ，心理状态，即“心态”;trait of character ，性格特点，即“个性”。
参考译文：难题之一在于所谓的行为科学几乎全都依然从心态、情感、性格特征、人性等方面去寻找行为的根源。

Here, in Shanghai, we see the growth that has caught the attention of the world -- the soaring skyscrapers, the bustling streets and entrepreneurial activity. And just as I'm impressed by these signs of China's journey to the 21st century, I'm eager to see those ancient places that speak to us from China's distant past. Tomorrow and the next day I hope to have a chance when I'm in Beijing to see the majesty of the Forbidden City and the wonder of the Great Wall. Truly, this is a nation that encompasses both a rich history and a belief in the promise of the future.The same can be said of the relationship between our two countries. Shanghai, of course, is a city that has great meaning in the history of the relationship between the United States and China It was here, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people.However, America's ties to this city -- and to this country -- stretch back further, to the earliest days of America's independence. In 1784, our founding father, George Washington, commissioned the Empress of China, a ship that set sail for these shores so that it could pursue trade with the Qing Dynasty.Washington wanted to see the ship carry the flag around the globe, and to forge new ties with nations like China. This is a common American impulse -- the desire to reach for new horizons, and to forge new partnerships that are mutually beneficial.Over the two centuries that have followed, the currents of history have steered the relationship between our countries in many directions. And even in the midst of tumultuous winds, our people had opportunities to forge deep and even dramatic ties.汉译英（60分）巴金《月夜》里的一段篷舱里直伸伸地躺着两个客人。

1. Margaret Thatcher saw herself, and was seen, as an essential partner of two American presidents. She stoutly defended nuclear deterrence when she thought her friend and ideological soulmate, Ronald Reagan, was getting carried away in talks with the Russians.Tony Blair pushed NATO and Bill Clinton into military action in Kosovo. Ill-fated though the later invasion of Iraq proved, Mr. Blair was never an American poodle. He believed that Britainshould be in the first rank of countries prepared to counter the threat of Saddam Hussein’s supposed weapons of mass destruction. Even the maligned Gordon Brown co-ordinated theinter national response to the financial crash of 2008.2. The history of economics has been, among other things,a story of learning to care less about land. The physiocrats of 18th-century France saw it as the primary guarantor of wealth. Adam Smith included it alongside labour and capital as one of the three factors of production that combined to generate output. A little later Thomas Malthus saw its innate scarcity as ensuring eventual catastrophe in the face of exponential population growth. Instead of succumbing to catastrophe Western countries found ways to work around land’s scarcity, some of them ingenious —skyscrapers, artificial fertiliser, railways, suburbs —and some nefarious —dispossessing the oppressed and colonised. Improved transport allowed land farther off to do the work that land close at hand had done before, whether by producing crops half way round the world or housing workers out in the suburbs.3. In a surprise televised address on Tuesday night, Modi said the demonetisation of India’s highest-value banknotes, worth about £6 and £12,would start from midnight. The move is an effort to close down the booming economy of untaxed cashtransactions, which allows corruption, the funding of terrorist groups, and keeps counterfeit notes in circulation. Addressing the nation, Modi said: “The exchange of 500 and 1,000 rupee notes being tendered as currency will bestopped from today. Black marketeers and traitors who use black money will notbe able to move large amounts of money and 500 and 1,000 rupee notes will become worthless pieces of paper. Those citizens earning honestly and with hardwork, their interests will be protected.”4.The decision to delay the leadership election nearly two weeks and possibly put up a challenger to Pelosi is a sign of how deeply Democrats are soul-searching after last week’s election that saw Republicans win control of the White House and retain its majority in the Senate and House. While Pelosi became the first female speaker of the House in 2006 and had a huge hand in winning passage of the Affordable Care Act, Democrats havenever fully recovered under her leadership from losing 63 seats in the 2010 midterm election. They have remained in the minority ever since.5. Trump galvanized white voters without college degrees, particularly in the Rust Belt; Clinton’s team calculated that this bloc was a lost cause and could be ignored in favor of focusing on her base and trying topersuade white-collar voters she was the less risky choice. Bill Clinton reportedly agitated for the campaign to pay more attention to the “bubbas”that had oncebeen his base, only to be rebuffed by a campaign staff that believed his worldview was out of date.汉译英主要是政治类题材，领导人讲话之类的（主题有官德、安全、对当前局势的表述、一带一路，还有另外一个啥）。

Furthermore, humans have theability to modify the environment //in which they live, //thus subjecting all other life forms //to their own peculiar ideas and fancies. (26 words)词汇要点：1) furthermore //adv. 而且，此外，再者，进一步说2) modify //v. 更改，修改，修饰;缓和，减轻，调节3) subject to // 命令，使…服从于…;遭受，使…经历…4) peculiar //adj. 特有的，独特的，特别的5) fancy //n. 想象，想象力，幻想;爱好。
结构要点：1) 主干结构是humans have the ability;2) in which …是定语从句;3) subjecting …是分词短语作结果状语。
汉译逻辑要点：1) subjecting …to …是“使…服从于…”的意思;这个状语的逻辑主语应该是前面主干的主语human ，所以下文的their own peculiar ideas …中的their 应该是指human ，their 翻译为“人类”指代清楚为好。
2) 因为life forms 是“生命形态”;all other(所有其他的)是针对humans(人类)而言的“所有其他”的“生命形态”。
完整译文：而且，人类还有能力改变自己的生存环境，从而使所有其它形态的生命服从人类自己独特的想法和想象。

So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard's department store near her suburban Cleveland home,instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don't know if other clients are going to abandon me, too,” she says.
词汇：
downscale//v. 缩减开支

2017翻硕英译汉翻译范例整理汉英互译一直是考研英语中的难点，对此，小编整理历年英译汉翻译20范例，以供大家学习参考，希望大家2017考研顺利。
1、When I decided to quit my full time employment it never occurred to me that I might become a part of a new international trend. A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming "I wanted to spend more time with my family".当我决定辞去自己的全日制工作时决没有想到，自己竟成了一种新的国际性潮流的一分子。
一次平级的人事调动伤了我的自尊心，并阻断了我的事业发展，这促使我放弃自己地位较高的职业，当然，就像面子扫尽的政府部长那样，我也掩饰说“我只想与家人更多的呆在一起”。
2、Curiously, some two-and-a-half years and two novels later, my experiment in what the Americans term "downshifting" has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality. I have been transformed from a passionate advocate of the philosophy of "have it all", preached by Linda Kelsey for the past seven years in the pages of she magazine, into a woman who is happy to settle for a bit of everything.奇怪的是，大约两年半的时间我写完两部小说后，我这个被美国人称为“放慢生活节奏”的试验，却使我太疲惫的借口变成了现实。
我已从一个“获得一切”哲学(琳达?凯茜过去七年中在《她》这本杂志所宣扬的)的狂热支持者，变成了一个乐于接受任何东西只要一丁点的女人。
3、I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of "juggling your life", and making the alternative move into "downshifting" brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status. Nothing could persuade me to return to the kind of life Kelsey used to advocate and I once enjoyed: 12-hour working days, pressured deadlines, the fearful strain of office politics and the limitations of being a parent on "quality time".我已经发现(由于压力过大，凯茜已多次公开宣称要辞去《她》杂志编辑的职务，在这之后她也许会有同样发现)，放弃“忙忙碌碌”的生活哲学，转而过一种“放慢生活节奏”的生活所带来的回报，比经济成功和社会地位更有价值。
什么也说服不了我回到过去那种凯茜所宣扬的、我也曾自得其乐的生活中去：每天12小时的工作日，压得人喘不过气来的最后期限，可怕而紧张的办公室的争权夺利，以及因为时间有限连做母亲也得“高效率”所造成的种种限制。
4、In America, the move away from juggling to a simpler, less materialistic lifestyle is a well-established trend. Downshifting —also known in America as "voluntary simplicity" —has, ironically, even bred a new area of what might be termed anti-consumerism. There are a number of bestselling downshifting self-help books for people who want to simplify their lives; there are newsletters, such as The Tightwad Gazette, that give hundreds of thousands of Americans useful tips on anything from recycling their cling-film to making their own soap; there are even support groups for those who want to achieve the mid-'90s equivalent of dropping out.在美国，摆脱忙碌，转而过一种简单、不大物质化的生活已成明确趋势。
具有讽刺意味的是，“放慢生活节奏”——在美国也称“自愿简单化”——甚至孕育了一个崭新的、可称之为反消费主义的生活方式。
对于那些想简单生活的人来说，有许多很畅销的帮你轻松生活的自助书籍;有各种简讯，例如省钱简报，会给美国人提供成千上万条有用的点子去做事，从回收保鲜腊到自制肥皂;甚至还有一些帮助团体，帮人按90年代中期脱离传统社会的人的生活方式去生活。
5、While in America the trend started as a reaction to the economic decline —after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late '80s —and is still linked to the politics of thrift, in Britain, at least among the middle class downshifters of my acquaintance, we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.在美国，这种趋势一开始是对经济衰落所做出的一种反应——出现于80年代后期缩小经济规模所引起的大量人员冗余之后——在英国，至少在我所认识的中产阶级的简化生活者中，这种趋势仍被认为与节俭政治有关联，虽然如此，然而我们有着不同的缘由去寻求使自己的生活简单化。
6、For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the '80s, downshifting in the mid-'90s is not so much a search for the mythical good life —growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into one —as a personal recognition of your limitations.对我们这一代女性来说，整个80年代我们曾被迫忙碌地生活，90年代中期的简化生活与其说是寻求神话般的好生活——自己种有机蔬菜以及冒险制造有机蔬菜——倒不如说我们都认识了自身的局限。
7、Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question. The organization is deep into a long self-analysis known as the journalism credibility project.为什么那么多美国人不相信自己在报纸上看到的东西?美国新闻编辑协会正试图回答这个痛苦的问题。
该组织正深深陷入一个长期的自我剖析过程，即新闻可信度调查项目。
8、Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.遗憾的是，这次新闻机构可信度调查计划结果只获得了一些肤浅的发现，诸如新闻报道中的事实错误，拼写或语法错误，和这些低层次发现交织在一起的还有许多令人挠头的困惑，譬如读者到底想读些什么。
9、But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard templates (patterns) into which they plug each day's events. In other words, there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.但这种对媒体的不信任有更深刻的根源。
