He was brought up by hand. The hungry and destitute situation of the infant orphan was duly reported by the workhouse authorities to the parish authorities. The parish authorities inquired with dignity of the workhouse authorities, whether there was no female then domiciled in " the house" who was in a situation to impart to Oliver Twist, the consolation and nourishment of which he stood in need. The workhouse authorities replied with humility, that there was not.Upon this, the parish authorities magnanimously and humanely resolved, that Oliver should be "farmed" or, in other words, that he should be dispatched to a branch-workhouse some three miles off, where twenty or thirty other juvenile offenders against the poor-laws, rolled about the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing, under the parental superintendence of an elderly female, who received the culprits at and for the consideration of sevenpence-halfpenny per small head per week. Sevenpence-halfpenny"s worth per week is a good round diet for a child; a great deal may be got for sevenpence-halfpenny, quite enough to overload its stomach, and make it uncomfortable. The elderly female was a woman of wisdom and experience; she knew what was food for children; and she had a very accurate perception of what was good for herself. So, she appropriated the greater part of the weekly stipend to her own use, and consigned the rising parochial generation to even a shorter allowance than was originally provided for them. Thereby finding in the lowest depth a deeper still; and proving herself a very great experimental philosopher.（分数：4.00）(1).What is the title of the novel?(1 point)（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ (2).What is the effect of the irony used in the excerpt?(1 point)（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ We were all at the hospital every afternoon, and there were different ways of walking across the town through the dusk to the hospital. Two of the ways were alongside canals, but they were long. Always, though, you crossed a bridge across a canal to enter the hospital. There was a choice of three bridges. On one of them a woman sold roasted chestnuts. It was warm, standing in front of her charcoal fire, and the chestnuts were warm afterward in your pocket. The hospital was very old and very beautiful, and you entered through a gate and walked across a courtyard and out a gate on the other side. There were usually funerals starting from the courtyard. Beyond the old hospital were the new brick pavilions, and there we met every afternoon and were all very polite and interested in what was the matter, and sat in the machines that were to make so much difference.（分数：4.00）(1).Identify the author of the short story.(1 point)（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ (2).What is the theme of the short story?(1 point)（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ There was music from my neighbor"s house through the summer night. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft, or taking the sun on the hot sand of his beach while his two motor-boats slit the waters of the Sound, drawing aquaplanes over cataracts of foam. On weekends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains. And on Mondays eight servants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with mops and scrubbing-brushes and hammers and garden - shears, repairing the ravages of the night before.（分数：4.00）(1).From which novel is this excerpt taken?(1 point)（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ (2).What is the theme of the novel?(1 point)（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________四、评论题(总题数：1，分数：2.00)ment on the following excerpt and write a 100-word essay on it.(10 points)From Ralph Waldo Emerson"s The American ScholarBooks are the best of things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end, which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book than to be warped by its attraction clean out ofmy own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system. The one thing in the world of value is the active soul—the soul, free, sovereign, active. This every man is entitled to; this every man contains within him, although, in almost all men, obstructed, and as yet unborn. The soul active sees absolute truth; and utters truth, or creates. In this action, it is genius; not the privilege of here and there a favorite, but the sound estate of every man. In its essence, it is progressive. The book, the college, the school of art, the institution of any kind, stop with some past utterance of genius. This is good, say they,—let us hold by this. They pin me down. They look backward and not forward. But genius looks forward. The eyes of man are set in his forehead, not in his hindhead. Man hopes, genius creates. To create,—to create, —is the proof of a divine presence. Whatever talents may be if the man create not, the pure efflux of the Deity is not his;—cinders and smoke there may be, but not yet flame. There are creative manners, there are creative actions, and creative words; manners, actions, words, that is, indicative of no custom or authority, but springing spontaneous from the mind"s own sense of good and fair.On the other part, instead of being its own seer, let it receive from another mind its truth, though it were in torrents of light, without periods of solitude, inquest, and self-recovery, and a fatal disservice is done. Genius is always sufficiently the enemy of genius by over influence. The literature of every nation bear me witness. The English dramatic poets have Shakspearized now for two hundredyears.Undoubtedly there is a right way of reading, so it be sternly subordinated. Man Thinking must not be subdued by his instruments. Books are for the scholar"s idle times. When he can read God directly, the hour is too precious to be wasted in other men"s transcripts of their readings. But when the intervals of darkness come, as come they must,—when the sun is hid, and the stars withdraw their shining,—we repair to the lamps which were kindled by their way, to guide our steps to the East again, where the dawn is. We hear, that we may speak. The Arabian proverb says, "A fig tree, looking on a fig tree, becometh fruitful. "（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________。

It was the summer of 1966.One afternoon I was sitting at a downtown taxi stand, hoping to get an airport run. Instead, I got a call from the manager, who told me to go to a newsstand and buy a racing form. Then I was to stop and pick up a six-pack of beer, some goldfish food and a box of cigars. He directed me to deliver the goods to an address in a nearby neighborhood.I protested, not wanting to lay out money from my own cash supply, because I was afraid I might not be able to collect the money.The manager told me this man was a regular customer. He assured me that there would be no problem with payment, and said I should get moving or bring the car back in. Since he put it that way, I got moving.The building smelled of tobacco smoke. I knocked on the door and could hear something moving across the floor.Finally the door opened, and there was a disabled man sitting on a small wood platform, looking up me.The man was polite and very grateful for my services. When I set the racing form down on the coffee table, I noticed an open velvet case that looked like a jewelry box. As the man rolled over and reached for some money to pay me, I glanced inside. There was a medal: a Purple Heart from World War 2.Guilt began to creep over me as he paid and gave me a generous tip. The man was a quiet sort of person, obviously not in need of companionship.He had long ago yielded to his condition and to the sacrifice he had made. I made that run many more times in my taxi until I moved on to another job, but I never learned his name and we never became friends despite our regular contact.Unfortunately for me, I would be more than twice the age I was back then before I learned that prejudging people makes you wrong about most things most of the time.20.

He wanted to make friends with the man.D. He would like to show his respect to heroes.Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.The nation’s unemployment rate is soaring, inching closer to 10 percent with each passing month. And that spells trouble for graduating college seniors, about to compete in the toughest job Market in decades.Blake Taylor, a senior at Catholic University in Washington D.C., expected to be an accountant when she graduates this May. But then her fortunes changed. She had a job offer that was taken back because the company says it’s no longer hiring. “It’s hard; it’s definitely hard,” she said. ”When they told me, I definitely felt like I had the air kicked out of me.”The jobless rate among college graduates has more than doubled from a year ago to 4.3 percent. Almost 2 million college graduates are unemployed and a recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. “They could pretty much demand what they wanted in terms of a job and what they got from an employer. That’s no longer going to be the case.”One place recent graduates can look for work is the U.S. Government. They government has postings for more than 40,000 open positions right now and expects to increase hiring employees straight from college.College senior Peter Donald expects to find a job in government departments soon. But fellow senior Bill Frame is still looking for work. He spent months trying for a job on Wall Street without success, and has now widened his search to other industries. ”This is an every-morning thing for me now. I wake up and check my email and send 20 minutes checking on the different job sites, then usually another half hour to an hour doing applications,” Frame said.“What we say to them is your first job may not be your ideal job and so be more flexible, be more open to taking positions that maybe weren’t on your radar screen originally,” says Dr. Alan Goodman, a career counselor at Catholic University.That’s a message Blake Taylor, at least, has taken to heart. “As doors close, windows open,” she said. “If you can’t go through the front, go through the back. You’ll find a way; you have to find a way.”24. The word “soaring” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ______.A. becoming worseB. rising rapidlyC. remaining unchangedD. improving fast25. The unemployment rate among college graduates is nearly ______.A. 4.3%B. 10%C.22%D. 20%26. Compared with other places, one place graduates can look for work is ______.A. Catholic UniversityB. National AssociationC. The U.S. GovernmentD. Wall Street27. According to the last paragraph, what attitude does Blake Taylor hold towards job hunting?A. Reluctant.B. Indifferent.C. Curious.D. Confident.Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.The typical conversation between Americans takes a form that is quick and witty. No one speaks for very long. Speakers take turns frequently, often after only a few sentences have been spoken. “Watching a conversation between two Americans is like watching a table tennis game,” a German observer said. “Your head goes back and forth and back and forth so fast it makes your neck hurt.”Americans tend to be impatient with people who take long turns. Such people are said to “talk too much.” Many Americans have difficulty paying attention to someone who speaks more than a few sentences at a time, as Nigerians, Arabs, and some others do. Americans value conciseness, or what they call “getting to the point.”Americans engage in little ritual interaction (礼节式的互致问候). Only a few ritual greetings are common:”How are you?”“I’ m fine, thank you,”“Nice to meet you,” and “Hope to see you again.” These things are said in certain situations and are concerned with form rather than with substance. That is, similar questions are supposed to be asked and statements are supposed to be made in particular situations, no matter what the people involved are feelings or what they really have in mind. To many Americans, people who rely heavily on ritual greetings are “too shy” or “too polite,” unwilling to show their true natures and ideas.Americans are generally impatient with long ritual greetings about family members’ health-common among Latin Americans-considering them a waste of time.28. What is the feature of a typical conversation between Americans?A. Concise and direct.B. Long but politeC. Friendly and quickD. Slow but witty.29. By comparing a conversation between two Americans to a table tennis game, the German observer means that _______.A. Americans enjoy talking as well as watching table tennis gamesB. Americans like to take short turns in a conversation.C. Americans get excited easily in a conversationD. Americans talk with great emotion30. Americans _______ when they talk with Arabs.A. pay enough attentionB. May lose their patienceC. speak more than a few sentencesD. will get to the point31. According to this passage, Americans have a low opinion of people who ______.A. do not talk as much as possible.B. do not pay attention to the speaker.C. like to ask about other people’s healthD. bring too many ritual greetings into a conversation.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is common for older people to forget things. Now an American study has found that memory starts to fail when we are young adults. People younger than thirty usually do not know that they are starting to forget information. But scientists from the University of Michigan say the loss of memory usually has already started.Researchers say people do not observe this slow reduction in mental ability until the loss affects their everyday activities.Denise Park is leading the new study. She directs the Center for Aging and Cognition at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. Her team has studied more than 350 men and women between the ages of twenty and ninety. The study has identified people in their middle twenties with memory problems.She says young adults do not know that they are forgetting things because theirBut she says that people in their twenties and thirties are losing memory at the same rate as people in their sixties and seventies.Ms. Park says people between the ages of sixty and seventy may note the decrease in their mental abilities. They begin to observe that they are having more trouble remembering and learning new information.The study has found that older adults are more likely to remember false information as being true. For example, they remember false medical claims as being true. Younger people remember hearing the information, but they are more likely to remember that it is false.Ms. Park is now using modern imaging equipment to study what happens in the brains of people of different ages. She is studying what parts of the brain older adults use for different activities compared to younger adults. Ms. Park says mental performance is a direct result of brain activity and brain structure. She says older people should take part in activities that keep their brain active. She hopes that future studies will identify ways to improve the operation of our aging minds.32. The passage is meant to ______.A. introduces effective ways to improve memory.B. emphasize the importance of exercising the brainC. analyze the difference between different age groups in the loss of memoryD. reveals the decrease in mental ability of the young adults as well as the older adults33. According to a recent American study, people start losing their mental ability _____.A. in their early teensB. in their mi-sixtiesC. in their mid-twentiesD. in their early thirties34. With regard to memory reduction, young adults differ from older adults in that______.A. They lose their memory at a slower rateB. Their brains can store much more informationC. They rarely realize they have memory problemsD. They are more likely to remember false information35. It can be inferred from what Denis Park says that _______.A. Mental performance can be improvedB. Mental ability is determined entirely by brain structureC. People of different ages use different parts of the brain for memorizingD. Different parts of the brain are responsible for different mental activitiesPartⅢClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

英语试卷翻译与2010年答案

2005英译汉Nearly 20 years ago, Amory Lovins first advocated energy efficiency rather than increasing energy supplies, Seen then as a gadfly, he now advises industry and government on the cost benefits of conservation, based on research at his Rocky Mountain Institute. For example, over its lifetime each fluorescent bulb adds 1,000 kilograms less carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than an incandescent bulb and reduces electric bills.差不多20年前，艾默利洛温斯第一次倡导提高能源的使用效率，而不是增加能源供应量。

那时候，他被看成是一只牛虻，很讨厌。

根据他在落基山研究院的的研究，他又给工厂和政府在环境保护的成本效益方面提出了建议。

例如：终其一生，使用荧光灯向空气中排放的二氧化碳要比使用日光灯少近1000千克，并且能减少电费。

2005汉译英多数事情是不能没有朋友而独自享受，但是阅读却是可以的。

当我们独自坐在家中时，我们能漫游世界，并且能够明白成千上万种事情产生的道理。

我们生活在，却能与生活在数千年前的人交谈。

读书能丰富我们的阅历：使我们能体验到别人对生活的感受，哪怕他们生活在千里之外，或数百年前。

Most times, we cannot enjoy something alone but except reading. When we sat home and read alone, we could travel around the world and understand the reasons of tens of thousands of things. We are living in the modern society but we can communicate with people, who lived thousands of years ago. Reading can enrich our experience and help us learn other people’s feeling, even if they lived a thousand miles away, or hundreds of years ago.2006英译汉……which seems to be almost universally understood: intelligence is an excellence of mind that is employed within a fairly narrow, immediate, and predictable range; it is a manipulative, adjustive, unfailingly practical quality-one of the most eminent and endearing of the animal virtues, Intelligence works within the framework of limited but clearly stated goals, and may be quick to shear away questions of thought that do not seem help in reaching them. Finally, it is of such universal use that it can daily be seen at work and admired aike by simple or complex minds.译文：这几乎被普遍接受----大脑的智力利用只局限于非常小的直接的可预测的范围。

2010年首都师范大学翻译硕士MTI考研辅导班真题答案解析各位考研的同学们，大家好！我是才思的一名学员，现在已经顺利的考上研究生，今天和大家分享一下这个专业的真题，方便大家准备考研，希望给大家一定的帮助。

基础英语·详细解析Part 1: Corrections.The changes in language will continue forever, but no one knows sure who does the changing. One possibility is that Children are responsible. A professor of linguistic at the University of Hawaii explores this in one of his recent books. Sometimes around 1880, a language catastrophe occurred In Hawaii when thousands of immigrant workers were broug to the islands to work for the new sugar industry. These people speaking different languages were unable to communicate with each other or with the native Hawaiians and the dominant English-speaking owners of the plantations. So they first spoke in Pidin English—the sort of thing such mixed language pupulations have always done. A pidgin is not really a language at all. It is more like a set of verbal signals used to name objects but without the grammatical rues needed for expressing thought and ideas. And then, within a single generation, the whole mass of mixed peoples began speaking a totally new tongue: Hawaiian Creole. The new speech was contained ready-made words borrowed from all the original tongues, but borelittle or no resemblance with the predecessors in the rules used to stringing the words together. Although generally regarded as primitive language, Hawaiian Creole had a highly sophisticated grammar.Part 2: Grammar and Vocabulary.01. Recent editions of the Chinese classic Tao Te Ching, based on manuscripts more authoritative than those hitherto available, have rendered previous editions obsolete.句义：中国古典名著《道德经》的最新版是根据手稿完成的，更权威的新版淘汰了旧版。

2010年考研英语真题英译汉分析及答案

英语辅导专家贾洪伟⽼师，针对2010年考研英语英译汉部分进⾏分析，2010考研英语英译汉⽂章属环保范畴，摘⾃利奥波德(Aldo Leopold)于1966年在⽜津⼤学出版出版的《沙乡年鉴》(A Sand Country Almanac)中的“⼟地伦理”(The Land Ethics)部分，具体在原书210页。

本题⼲中，出题者也是动过“⼩⼿术”的，⽐如：第⼀段的原⽂是：“One basic weakness in a conservation system based wholly on economic motives is that most members of the land community have no economic value. Wildflowers and songbirds are examples. Of the 22,000 higher plants and animals native to Wisconsin, it is doubtful whether more than 5 per cent can be sold, fed, eaten, or otherwise put to economic use. Yet these creatures are members of the biotic community, and if (as I believe) its stability depends on its integrity, they are entitled to continuance。

”，经过加⼯就变成了“One basic weakness in a conservation system based wholly on economic motives is that most members of the land community have no economic value. Yet these creatures are members of the biotic community, and if (as I believe) its stability depends on its integrity, they are entitled to continuance。

What nice eyes he had, small, but such a dark blue! And now she looked at the others, they were smiling too. " Cheer up, we won't bite," their smile seemed to say. How very nice workmen were! And what a beautiful morning! She mustn't mention the morning; she must be business-like. The marquee.28 Name the title of the short story.(1 point)29 Comment on the writing techniques.(1 point)29 For the next eight or ten months, Oliver was the victim of a systematic course of treachery and deception. He was brought up by hand. The hungry and destitute situation of the infant orphan was duly reported by the workhouse authorities to the parish authorities. The parish authorities inquired with dignity of the workhouse authorities, whether there was no female then domiciled in " the house" who was in a situation to impart to Oliver Twist, the consolation and nourishment of which he stood in need. The workhouse authorities replied with humility, that there was not. Upon this, the parish authorities magnanimously and humanely resolved, that Oliver should be "farmed" or, in other words, that he should be dispatched to a branch-workhouse some three miles off, where twenty or thirty other juvenile offenders against the poor-laws, rolled about the floor all day, without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing, under the parental superintendence of an elderly female, who received the culprits at and for the consideration of sevenpence-halfpenny per small head per week. Sevenpence-halfpenny's worth per week is a good round diet for a child; a great deal may be got for sevenpence-halfpenny, quite enough to overload its stomach, and make it uncomfortable. The elderlyfemale was a woman of wisdom and experience; she knew what was food for children; and she had a very accurate perception of what was good for herself. So, she appropriated the greater part of the weekly stipend to her own use, and consigned the rising parochial generation to even a shorter allowance than was originally provided for them. Thereby finding in the lowest depth a deeper still; and proving herself a very great experimental philosopher.30 What is the title of the novel?(1 point)31 What is the effect of the irony used in the excerpt?(1 point)31 We were all at the hospital every afternoon, and there were different ways of walking across the town through the dusk to the hospital. Two of the ways were alongside canals, but they were long. Always, though, you crossed a bridge across a canal to enter the hospital. There was a choice of three bridges. On one of them a woman sold roasted chestnuts. It was warm, standing in front of her charcoal fire, and the chestnuts were warm afterward in your pocket. The hospital was very old and very beautiful, and you entered through a gate and walked across a courtyard and out a gate on the other side. There were usually funerals starting from the courtyard. Beyond the old hospital were the new brick pavilions, and there we met every afternoon and were all very polite and interested in what was the matter, and sat in the machines that were to make so much difference.32 Identify the author of the short story.(1 point)33 What is the theme of the short story?(1 point)33 There was music from my neighbor's house through the summer night. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars. At high tide in the afternoon I watched his guests diving from the tower of his raft, or taking the sun on the hot sand of his beach while his two motor-boats slit the waters of the Sound, drawing aquaplanes over cataracts of foam. On weekends his Rolls-Royce became an omnibus, bearing parties to and from the city between nine in the morning and long past midnight, while his station wagon scampered like a brisk yellow bug to meet all trains. And on Mondays eight servants, including an extra gardener, toiled all day with mops and scrubbing-brushes and hammers and garden - shears, repairing the ravages of the night before.34 From which novel is this excerpt taken?(1 point)35 What is the theme of the novel?(1 point)四、评论题36 Comment on the following excerpt and write a 100-word essay on it.(10 points) From Ralph Waldo Emerson's The American ScholarBooks are the best of things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end, which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system. The one thing in the world of value is the active soul—the soul, free, sovereign, active. This every man is entitled to; this every man contains within him, although, in almost all men, obstructed, and as yet unborn. The soul active sees absolute truth; and utters truth, or creates. In this action, it is genius; not the privilege of here and there a favorite, but the sound estate of every man. In its essence, it is progressive. The book, the college, the school of art, the institution of any kind, stop with some past utterance of genius. This is good, say they,—let us hold by this. They pin me down. They look backward and not forward. But genius looks forward. The eyes of man are set in his forehead, not in his hindhead. Man hopes, genius creates. To create,—to create, —is the proof of a divine presence. Whatever talents may be if the man create not, the pure efflux of the Deity is not his;—cinders and smoke there may be, but not yet flame. There are creative manners, there are creative actions, and creative words; manners, actions, words, that is, indicative of no custom or authority, but springing spontaneous from the mind's own sense of good and fair.On the other part, instead of being its own seer, let it receive from another mind its truth, though it were in torrents of light, without periods of solitude, inquest, and self-recovery, and a fatal disservice is done. Genius is always sufficiently the enemy of genius by over influence. The literature of every nation bear me witness. The English dramatic poets have Shakspearized now for two hundred years.Undoubtedly there is a right way of reading, so it be sternly subordinated. Man Thinking must not be subdued by his instruments. Books are for the scholar's idle times. When he can read God directly, the hour is too precious to be wasted in other men's transcripts of their readings. But when the intervals of darkness come, as come they must,—when the sun is hid, and the stars withdraw their shining,—we repair to the lamps which were kindled by their way, to guide our steps to the East again, where the dawn is. We hear, that we may speak. The Arabian proverb says, "A fig tree, looking on a fig tree, becometh fruitful. "。

Translate the following passages into Chinese. (60 points)1. Acting recently as an expert witness in a murder trial, I became aware of a small legal problem caused by the increasingly multicultural nature of our society. According to English law, a man is guilty of murder if he kills someone with the intention either to kill or to injure seriously. But he is guilty of the lesser crime of manslaughter if he has been sufficiently provoked or if his state of mind at the time was abnormal enough to reduce his responsibility. The legal test here is a comparison with the supposedly ordinary man—the man on the Clapham omnibus, as the legal cliché has it. Would that ordinary person feel provoked under similar circumstances? Was the accused’s state of mind at the time of the killing very different from that of an average man?【参考译文】最近，我在一个谋杀案的审讯中作为专业证人出庭。
