2013年12月大学英语四级改革新题型段落翻译题(最新版)
2013年12月英语四级改革后新题型汉译英
1. 挖掘考点：由样题可以看出，翻译题越来越重视中国的历史、文化，也就是越来越接地气。
所以，建议考生有意识的积累和背诵一些和中国节日、历史事件、经济和社会发展相关的词汇。
关注以反映中国社会为主的一些英文杂志和报纸。
例如中国日报及其网站。
大家每天看看网站中头条新闻，配合中文新闻的背景，就可以学到很多表达。
推荐一个中国日报网站下面的一个小栏目：language tips，有大量简单实用的双语文章。
2. 实战演练：【汉译英1】波士顿咨询公司最近做的一项研究显示，到2020年中国将会有2.2亿家庭收入在2万到100万美元的富裕消费者。
这些消费者中75%住在“较小城市”。
随着网络的发展，较小城市的消费者的一种必然趋势是他们更加依赖社交网络服务上的信息。
很多网络顾客都是通过微信、微博和QQ空间分组的。
据估计今年中国将会有2.5亿消费者进行网购，位于四线城市的消费者平均每人会花费他们50%或者更高的工资在网购上，这一数据要比一线城市的消费者的花费高。
【参考译文】A recent study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group says there will be 220 million affluent consumers, who are from households earning between $ 20,000 to $ 1 million, in China by 2020, and 75 percent of them will live in “smaller” cities. With the development of the Internet, an inevitable trend among these consumers is they are much more dependent on information from social networking services. Many of the website’s customers are “grouped” by Wechat, Weibo and QQ Zones. It is now estimated that 250 million Chinese consumers will shop online this year and the average shopper in a fourth-tier city in China will spend 50 percent or more of their income on e-commerce than those in top-tier cities.【汉译英2】聘金是中国传统习俗的一部分。

2013年12月大学英语四级改革新题型翻译题：（1）在我的生活里，我也尝试过很多次试着放手。
虽然，学会放手不会减轻生活里的伤痛或是改变什么，也不会让你的情绪得以发泄，也许你仍然会被生活所困。
然而，富有同情心是一种释放。
会让你和感受到你同情心的人得到精神上的洗礼。
当你对一切都富有同情心时，你会发挥自己最大潜力。
你也会在生活中觉得自己有无限的正能量。
（2）关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。
一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。
有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。
多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳，地球才被保住。
为了奖励后羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。
然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。
后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。
从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。
（3）和平稳定是发展的前提和基础。
上个世纪，人类经历了两次世界大战，生灵涂炭，经济社会发展遭受严重挫折。
第二次世界大战结束以来，世界经济能够快速增长，主要得益于相对和平稳定的国际环境。
我们应该恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则，充分发挥联合国及其安理会在维护和平、缔造和平、建设和平方面的核心作用。
坚持通过对话和协商，以和平方式解决国际争端。
我们应该坚持国家不论大小、强弱、贫富都是国际社会平等一员，以民主、包容、合作、共赢的精神实现共同安全，做到一国内部的事情一国自主办、大家共同的事情大家商量办，坚定不移奉行多边主义和国际合作，推进国际关系民主化。
（4）总结一年来的工作，我们清醒地看到，经济社会发展中还存在不少问题和困难。
必须坚持把人民群众利益放在第一位。
要切实维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益，着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题，保障城乡困难群众的基本生活。
不断满足人们日益增长的物质文化需要，是社会主义现代化建设的根本目的。

作文部分：范文一： The modern technology has greatly altered the mode of communication among people. With the help of the Internet, people can easily contact each other anytime anywhere. However, the side effect is that many people have become over-dependent on the Internet and neglected face-to-face communication.As far as I'm concerned, electronic communication cannot fully replace the direct contact among people. Although it seems to bring everyone together, it actually estranges people and decreases the effectiveness of communication. A typical example is that, traditionally, people working in the same office simply walk to others and talk. Today, however, co-workers tend to send e-mails or instant messages through the Internet even when they are sitting next to each other. As words can never convey the full message, it usually takes much more time and rounds of conversation than face-to-face communication, in which people can discuss more directly with less loss of information.To conclude, the Internet enables more effective communication in some situations, but over-dependence on it actually pulls people apart.范文二：It is frequently observed that many people keep looking down at their mobile phones whatever they are doing. It is true that mobile phones have brought great convenience to us as we can send short messages, check e-mails, surf the Internet, or watch videos almost anywhere. However, the overuse of mobile phones also leads to some serious problems.The over-dependence on mobile phones can harm the relationship among friends and family. With mobile phones, people do not talk as much as before. For example, sometimes at dinner tables, instead of chatting and laughing with each other, many people choose to chat with other friends online. In other words, mobile phones help people contacting friends far away more easily at the expense of reducing the communication with those who are sitting right next to them.In conclusion, mobile phone can be a useful tool in modern life, but overusing it damages interpersonal relationship. There is no point to lose our intimacy with friends and family to modern technology.范文三：The impact of the Internet on learningExplain why education doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain informationIn the age of knowledge explosion, the Internet opens a magical portal for leaners to get access to seemingly incessant information. But is information equal to knowledge? “Once I learn how to use google, isn't that all the education I really need?” This question fully embodies the prejudiced opinion that as long as people acquire abundant information, they will get proper education.The rea son why education doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain information is that education is not limited to the hard facts or theories students can learn from their textbooks or the Internet. It relates to a wider scope ranging from the obtainment of practical skills to the development of characters, which are hard for students to learn simply by googling. Consequently, comprehensive learning in schools that includes learning knowledge, conducting experiments and communicating with peers is what true education is.In a word, the Internet does provide valuable information for learners, but people should be fully conscious of the essence of education and learn to tell the right from the wrong.听力部分：1.

Finally, when thepassage is read for the third time, you should check what you havewritten.1Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter, more 26 , less afraid of what he doesn’t know, better at finding and 27 , more confident, resourceful( ), persistent and 28 than he will ever be again in his schooling – or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life. Already, by paying close attention to and 29 the world and people aroundhim, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and 30 than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the 31 of language. He has discovered it– babies don’t even know that language exists– and he has found out how it works and learned to use it 32 . He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by 33 and seeing whether it works, by gradually changing it and 34 it until it does work. And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the “ 35 ” that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Section ADirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bankfollowing the passage. Read the passage through carefully before makingyour choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Pleasemark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 witha single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in thebank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.One in six. Believe it or not, that’s the number of Americans who struggle with hunger. To make tomorrow a little better, Feeding America, the nation’s largest 36 hunger-relief organization, has chosen September as Hunger Action Month. As part of its 30 Ways in 30 Days program, it’s asking 37 across the country to help the more than 200 food banks and 61,000 agencies in its network provide low-income individuals and families with the fuel they need to 38 .It’s the kind of work that’s done every day at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in San Antonio. People who 39 at its front door on the first and third Thursdays of each month aren’t looking for God – they’re there for something to eat. St. Andrew’s runs a food pantry ( ) that 40 the city and several of the 41 towns. Janet Drane is its manager.In the wake of the 42 , the number of families in need of food assistance began to grow. It is 43 that 49 million Americans are unsure of where they will find their next meal. What’s most surprising is that 36% of them live in 44 where at least one adult is working. “It used to be that one job was all you needed,” says St. Andrew’s Drane. “The people we see now have three or four part-time jobs and they’re still right on the edge 45 .”2A) accumulate I) householdsB) circling J) recessionC) communities K) reportedD) competition L) reviewedE) domestic M) servesF) financially N) surroundingG) formally O) surviveH) gatherSection BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of theparagraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information isderived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraphis marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Universities Branch OutA)As never before in their long history, universities have become instruments ofnational competition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent required to obtain and maintain competitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability.B)In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universitieshave become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire range of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an interconnected world and collaborative( ) research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity.C)Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movementacross borders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in 2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to developed countries is growing rapidly.The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too.Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America’s best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U.K. In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in China many newly hired facultymembers at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad.D)Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduateyears in another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2,200 participating institutions across the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships( ) abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity—and providing the financial resources to make it possible.E)Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involvessourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai’s Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has95 employees and graduate students working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratoryfacility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu’s Yale lab is more productive, thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students, postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his U.S. team.F)As a result of its strength in science, the United States has consistently led theworld in the commercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe computer and the integrated circuit of the 1960s to the Internet infrastructure ( ) and applications software of the 1990s. The link between university-based science and industrial application is often indirect but sometimes highly visible: Silicon Valley was intentionally created by Stanford University, and Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun off from MIT and Harvard. Around the world, governments have encouraged copying of this model, perhaps most successfully in Cambridge, England, where Microsoft and scores of other leading software and biotechnology companies have set up shop around the university.G)For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining theresearch-university model. Most politicians recognize the link between investment in science and national economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady. The budget of the National Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003, but has risen more slowly than inflation since then. Support for the physical sciences and engineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up lost ground is welcome, but the nation would be better served by steady, predictable increases in science funding at the rate of long-term GDP growth, which is on the order of inflation plus 3 percent per year.H)American politicians have great difficulty recognizing that admitting more foreignstudents can greatly promote the national interest by increasing internationalunderstanding. Adjusted for inflation, public funding for international exchanges and foreign-language study is well below the levels of 40 years ago. In the wake of September 11, changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign students seeking admission to U.S. universities, and a corresponding surge in enrollments in Australia, Singapore and the U.K.Objections from American university and business leaders led to improvements in the process and a reversal of the decline, but the United States is still seen by many as unwelcoming to international students.I)Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation’s well-beingthrough their scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten American competitiveness by taking their knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that welcoming foreign students to the United States has two important positive effects: first, the very best of them stay in the States and—like immigrants throughout history—strengthen the nation; and second, foreign students who study in the United States become ambassadors for many of its most cherished ( ) values when they return home. Or at least they understand them better. In America as elsewhere, few instruments of foreign policy are as effective in promoting peace and stability as welcoming international university students.246.American universities prepare their undergraduates for global careers by givingthem chances for international study or internship.47.Since the mid-1970s, the enrollment of overseas students has increased at anannual rate of 3.9 percent.48.The enrollment of international students will have a positive impact on Americarather than threaten its competitiveness.49.The way research is carried out in universities has changed as a result ofglobalization.50.Of the newly hired professors in science and engineering in the United States,twenty percent come from foreign countries.51.The number of foreign students applying to U.S. universities decreased sharplyafter September 11 due to changes in the visa process.52.The U.S. federal funding for research has been unsteady for years.53.Around the world, governments encourage the model of linking university-basedscience and industrial application.54.Present-day universities have become a powerful force for global integration.55.When foreign students leave America, they will bring American values back totheir home countries.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choiceand mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a singleline through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Kofi Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster, population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition ( ) and heat-related health problems.But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk, who questioned its methods and conclusions.Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum’s report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable( ) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed ( ).”However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the report.256. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?A) Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.B) Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.C) Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.D) Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.57. What do we learn about the Forum’s report from the passage?A) It caused a big stir in developing countries.B) It was warmly received by environmentalists.C) It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.D) It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.58. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum’s report?A) Its statistics look embarrassing.B) It deserves our closest attention.C) It is invalid in terms of methodology.D) Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.59. What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?A) Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.B) It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.C) It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.D) Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.60. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?A) How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.B) How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.C) How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.D) How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming. Passage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.It’s an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My partner says no because the boiler could go, or the roof fall off, and we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what’s the point if you can’t go on holiday. The joy of a recession means no argument next year – we just won’t go.Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YouGov poll of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. What’s less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession – financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples. Disputes were characterised by intense verbal ( ) aggression, tended to be repeated and notresolved, and made men, more than women, extremely angry.Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolises, which may be different things to men and women. “People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it’s for,” he explains. “They’ll say it’s to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they’ve achieved something.“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other knows what’s going on with their finances, but they don’t. There seems to be more of a taboo ( ) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you’re doing, who’s paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don’t have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”261. What does the author say about vacationing?A) People enjoy it all the more during a recession.B) Few people can afford it without working hard.C) It is the chief cause of family disputes.D) It makes all the hard work worthwhile.62. What does the author mean by saying “money is known ... to bring a relationshipto its knees” (Lines 1-2, Para. 2)?A) Money is considered to be the root of all evils.B) Disputes over money may ruin a relationship.C) Few people can resist the temptation of money.D) Some people sacrifice their dignity for money.63. The YouGov poll of 2,000 people indicates that in a recession ________.A) couples show more concern for each otherB) it is more expensive for couples to split upC) conflicts between couples tend to riseD) divorce and separation rates increase64. What does Kim Stephenson believe?A) Men and women view money in different ways.B) Money is often a symbol of a person’s status.C) Men and women spend money on different things.D) Money means a great deal to both men and women.65. The author suggests at the end of the passage that couples should ________.A) put their money together instead of keeping it separatelyB) discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationshipC) make efforts to reach agreement on their family budgetsD) avoid arguing about money matters to remain romanticPart IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

例如，我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。
那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。
中秋节是观赏满月的日子。
圆圆的月亮象征着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。
因此，中秋节(TheMid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。
春节是中国的农历新年(t he Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday)，除了常见的家禽和肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物，如铰子和年糕。
参考答案Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, peoplecook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the “ 1 ” new year cake .难点精析■ 1.中国的传统节庆膳食：翻译为Traditional Chinese holiday meals,其中“节庆膳食”直接译为holiday meals , 即可，翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”的顺序。
2.纪念：翻译为介词短语in memory of,修饰前面的a day。
■ 3.赛龙舟：翻译为hold dragon boat races,其中hold意为“举行”，“举行龙舟比赛”即“赛龙舟”。
4.观赏满月：“满月”即fMlmoon,此处的“观赏”可以译为viewing,也可以用enjoying或watching表示。
5.象征着家庭团聚：“象征”翻译为系表结构is a symbol for,也可以用动词symbolize表示，“家庭团聚”翻译：为 family reunion 即可。
