Reference version for C-E translation:Water splashing is the main activity of the Dal people's New Year when the local people wash off the dust of the old year and bless the new. Water is either splashed gently or fiercely. Gentle splashing is to the elders - people ladle some water and, uttering good wishes, pour it inside the collar down an elder's neck. The one being splashed accepts it with good grace. Fierce splashing has no fixed pattern - people can run after each other and use ladles, basins or even buckets to splash or pour water over each other. The more one is splashed the happier one is for the many blessings he gets.B. Reference version for E-C translation:有的人说做梦很重要，能预言将来的不幸和快乐，又说梦见的妖魔鬼怪都是象征心里最深的焦虑和畏惧。

英语专八改错题技巧

英语专八改错题技巧一、先通读全文。

认真阅读短文，在做题之前保证已经弄清原文大意。

依据短文大意和上下文逻辑关系，对文章进行逐字逐句的分析，检查句子的结构是否完整，语气是否连贯等等。

二、综合运用所学语言知识，依据各行不同的错误状况分别进行答题(即改词、加词或减词)。

在短文改错中常出现的错误主要有以下几类：1. 名词单复数用错，可数与不可数名词的混用。

大多数短文改错都会有此类的错误。

如：they take him lots of good book and fresh fruit.(2009.陕西卷) 此处book改为books. book前用lots of修饰，应用复数。

2. 动词：时态和语态，常出现在总体时态为过去或现在时，中间杂有不适的另一时态的现象;或是及物动词后无宾语，或是不及物动词后加了宾语;必须要接ing形式的接了to，或相反等。

如：The Sichuan Restaurant and the older fish shop across the street from our middle school were gone.(2009全国卷I)把were改为are。

依据上文可知饭店和鱼店消失都陈述的是现在的状况。

3. 形容词副词：常出现必须形容词的地方用了副词或相反;关系副词where， when， why等的缺失或错用。

2如何准备改革后的英语专八听力：听力改革去掉以往的新闻听力，考卷由原来的听后发卷变成听前发卷，由10个填空题变成15个，增大分值，降低难度。

分值25%。

应当加重对听力的重视，新闻不考，可以多把重点放在lecture上，多做点模拟题。

推举大家一本书，冲击波听力，专八出题人邹申编的，大家可以当做模拟题用。

阅读：2016年的英语阅读是3篇阅读，其中14道选择题，8道简答题。

分值30%。

阅读在于个人平常的积存，在模拟题中争取把不会的单词弄懂，句子弄懂，找个本子摘抄下来，一般大四下学期要实习要论文要〔考研〕，都很忙，所以争取做到效率。

因此考生答题时，可以从动词入手，找出句中所有的动词，区分出谓语动词和非谓语动词，进而确定主从句的主干(主语、谓语动词、宾语或补语)和修饰成分(定语、状语、同位语)是否有误。

关于真题的例子：真题例证1 the linguist barriers were insuperable and that language was entirely the product of culture, the view translation was impassible gained some currency, and with it that, if was attempted at all, it must be as literal as possible(7)(8)分析^p ：第7题中的the view translation was impossible gained some currency里出现两个谓语动词，不符语法规则。

按照句意“做好酾译是不可能的这种观点有些市场”来看，translation was impossible应为对the view内容的说明，是它的同位语从句。

而同位语肌句的引导词that不能省略，所以应在view后加that。

第8题中的if was attempted at all，if引导的条件状语从旬中没有主语，不符语法规则。

此外，根据上下文，此分句的主语应与主句的主语it一致，即 translation，意为“如果要尝试翻译的话，就必须尽可能直译”。

当状语从句中的主语与主句主语一致，且从句的谓语动词是be动词时，从旬的主语和be动词可同时省略，故此处应把was删掉。

真题例证2 The ways whh universities make themselves attractive to students include soft majors, student evaluations of teachers, ving students a governance role, and eliminate required courses.(7)(8)分析^p ：本句含有四个动词：make，include，ving, eliminate。

Reference version for C-E translation:New China proclaimed that Chinese women enjoy equal rights with men in all aspects of political, economic, cultural, social and family life and that they have become, like all Chinese citizens, masters of the state and society. Chinese laws guarantee that women and men enjoy the same rights and status and have equal personal dignity. The Chinese government employs legal, administrative and educational means to eliminate all kinds of discrimination against women and protect their special rights and interests.

专八改错技巧总结

专八改错技巧总结专八改错技巧总结专四、专八是中国的两个重要的英语水平考试，对于许多英语学习者而言，通过这两个考试是他们追求的目标。

其中，专八考试中的改错题是英语学习者们较为头疼的题型之一。

因此，掌握改错技巧对于备考专八至关重要。

以下是一些专八改错题的技巧总结。

首先，理解题意是解决改错题的关键。

在做改错题时，必须认真阅读句子，理解上下文的意思，判断句子中哪个部分存在错误。

有时候，错误可能出现在主语、谓语、宾语、介词等不同的部分，因此要仔细判断。

此外，有些错误可能是隐藏的，需要仔细体察语法规则和句子的逻辑关系。

其次，掌握常见的语法错误是必要的。

在专八改错题中，经常出现的错误包括代词的使用、动词时态和语态、冠词的使用等。

例如，一些学生容易在使用代词时出现指代不清或主谓不一致的错误。

此外，动词时态和语态的使用也是改错题中常见的错误项目。

学生们应该掌握这些常见错误，通过刻意练习来提高自己的语法水平。

此外，注意句子的逻辑关系也是解决改错题的关键。

在改错题中，有时句子的结构和语法并没有错误，但句子之间的逻辑关系却存在问题。

例如，有些学生在连接两个句子时使用错误的连词或者错用从属连词。

这会导致句子之间的逻辑关系不明确，给阅读者造成困惑。

因此，在做改错题时，需要注意句子之间的逻辑关系，判断连词的使用是否正确。

最后，提高阅读理解能力是解决改错题的关键。

在专八改错题中，要求学生能够在短文中发现错误，并加以修正。

因此，阅读理解能力是解决改错题的基础。

阅读理解不仅包括对句子意思的理解，还包括对语境的把握。

为了提高阅读理解能力，学生们可以多读一些英文原文，从中学习正确的语法和表达方式。

综上所述，专八改错题是考查学生英语水平的重要环节。

学生们只有掌握了改错题的解题技巧，才能更好地备考专八。

因此，我们需要理解题意、掌握常见的语法错误、注意句子的逻辑关系，并提高阅读理解能力。

通过不断的练习和积累，相信大家一定能够在专八考试中取得好成绩。

专八考试改错部分应试技巧

专八考试改错部分应试技巧【转】英语写作与翻译校对与改错（Proofreading and Error Correction）是英语专业学生高年级考试（TEM-8）的一个部分。

该项目采用主观测试题型，包含两个部分：答题要求和一篇要求修改的短文。

答题要求部分说明修改短文的三种方法：加入、删去和改动某一单词，并举例说明。

要求修改的短文长度为200字左右。

短文的体裁和题材不超出学生所熟悉的范围。

短文内含10个错误；错误都出现在标有题号的行内。

错误一般涉及单个词；每行只出现一个错误。

要求修改的单词既有功能词（如介词、冠词等），也有实义词（动词、名词等）。

错误既涉及句内也涉及句际。

校对与改错部分的测试目的是检查学生在实际语境中灵活运用语言的能力。

该项目考查学生的语法和词汇知识，但更侧重评估学生的综合语言能力。

校对改错部分要求学生在15分钟内找出10个错误，并根据要求用三种方法之一改正错误。

这一部分要求考生掌握三种知识：1.语法知识众所周知，英语语言能力包括众多因素，其中之一是语法知识。

没有系统的语法知识，学习者就很难全面、准确地以口头或书面的形式表达思维或意念。

对于把英语作为外语的学生来说，语法知识的掌握尤为重要，因为它有助于提高语言的准确性、逻辑性。

鉴于此，校对改错项目的一个测试点是检验高年级学生语法知识的掌握程度及其运用能力。

一般地说，该项目中要求改正的错误里包括一些语法错误。

例如：定语从句（1996年第三题）；情态动词（1997年第一题）；冠词（1997年第九题）；介词（1998年第四题）；反身代词（1998年第六题），等等。

校对改错项目要求学生运用已学过的语法知识，来判断句子的正误，找出语病，并作修正。

这里要强调的一点是，TEM-8考试的这个项目不是孤立地测试学生的语法知识；它更偏重学生运用语法知识的能力，即怎样把书本知识转化成实际能力。

因此，对于学生来说，在平时一要巩固已学过的语法知识，理清概念；二要注重提高运用语言知识解决具体问题的能力。

关于英语专八的一点考经(听力、改错、作文、翻译)

首先声明一下，这些所谓的考经基本上都是自己在很短的复习时间内收集和总结出来的，不是什么高端货，但应该还算蛮适合英语成绩中等的学生的。

我的专八成绩是79分，貌似有点可惜，但其实我已经很知足了，因为英语一直都是我的弱项，而且大学四年也没好好学过，作为上外新闻系的学生，到毕业的时候也没有养成阅读NYT之类外刊的习惯。

不过本人的长处是考试的技巧比较好，善于投机取巧和临场装逼。

虽然不是什么考试都可以靠考前突击拿到高分的，但只要求及格的话，还是可以通过技巧的学习来“开外挂”的。

当然，投机取巧也是踏踏实实的投机取巧。

比如在复习人文常识的时候，我选了一本参考书，没有去买什么语言学的名著，没有去查阅wikipedia，花了一个礼拜，在医院和家里（老爸生病）把那本书的讲解部分断断续续背出来了，就这么去考试，发现十道单选都在自己的复习范围之内。

我绝不敢说，我对语言学、欧美文学、英语国家常识都有深刻了解，甚至连皮毛都不会，但这次考试的分数我拿到了。

如果我的经历能够引起你的小小的共鸣，我想这些考经就是无用的了，你完全可以根据自己的经验总结出最好的、最适合自己的版本。

英语专业八级听力应试技巧Mini Lecture·享受过程，集中精力最好的心态莫过于享受这个过程。

在平时的训练中就不断挑战自己集中注意力的极限，培养抗干扰能力和调整能力。

·听记为主，笔记为辅争取做到一心两用，做笔记的时候耳朵不能休息；对于那些大量罗列又细枝末节的信息，记个首字母甚至不留笔记都可以，关键是听清楚，记在心里。

·听懂句子，抓住实词做这个部分的听力时要以句子为单位去听，在笔记中体现出来的应该是实词，即传达句子中心意思的名词、动词、形容词。

·紧跟提示词，笔记有条理一般来说材料都会比较有条理，因此做笔记的时候宜采用非线性的框架化笔记，体现出明显的层次结构，有利于回忆和答题。

这就要求我们对一些带有提示性的语料特别敏感，主要包括以下几类：1.解释性、态度性插入语；2.祈使句；3.疑问句；4.逻辑关联词。

专八备考经验

最后一项可能是大家最头痛的语言学了，因为我考研就是考的语言学，所以在准备的时候很轻松，整个笔记都是按照邹申的书自己总结的，后期参考中华英语学习网的参考教辅书进行了补充，所以还算很全面了。对于大部分同学来说，把邹申的书在最后备考阶段来学习很不现实，因为书的专业性略强，对于大部分同学来说可以选择圣才图书网上的辅导书来复习，不懂得地方可以参看次书，还有不懂的话，大家可以使用GOOGLE阿，我当时就把不明白的在GOOGLE上搜了艘，是可以找到答案的。
第七部分，单词。之所以把单词放在最后是要提醒大家单词的功课一定不要小觑，很多同学没有过专八，就是没有背单词，八级考试官方要求词汇量是13000，其实根本考察不到那么多，但是不能不背，其中一部分是专四考察过的，剩的一部分就是八级的。
下面给大家推荐2本词汇书，第一本《最新高校英语专业八级考试词汇必背》编著王迈迈；第二本《如鱼得水记单词英语专业八级词汇语境记忆》主编茅风华。极力推荐的是第二本词汇书，因为这本书有例句，告诉了单词的用法，而且还配有mp3，所以还可以边听边记，大家还是买这本的好。还有一些其他的词汇书就不推荐了。对于大家那些总是被不下来的单词，可以总结在一个小本子上，每天多背背，肯定最后就背下来了，重复是王道啊！
（3）人文知识篇
第三部分，人文知识。这部分要说好拿分也好拿分，说不好拿分也不好拿，所以大家一定要全面复习，因为第一年考研的时候专业课准备的很充分，所以这部分还算轻松，当初考专业课要准备英美文学，英美概况，还有语言学，所以这三大块儿也基本上是专八那很要考的，所以大家复习要仔细，记忆的东西会多一点，但是没办法，多重复就是王道，背他个7遍以上就差不多了。
所以做conversation的方法就是，看清题干，看清选项主题词，做出选择！！只要大家每天都坚持练习，相信此部分不会丢很多分，这部分是送分题，可能会有一两个拿不准的，无论是听力，还是阅读。

His books are testimonials to a penchant for covering the biggest subjects in the most comprehensive way.

It is filled with dreams and disappointments, romance and myth, or as his book’s subtitle would have it, ―history, legends, and lore‖. But what is history?One might assume that this will be a ―factual‖, realistic narrative of people, times, and places with some legends and lore as condiment.
