下面为大家带来了英语专八考试翻译真题及参考答案，欢迎大家参考！1997年E-C原文:Opera is expensive: that much is inevitable. But expensive things are inevitably the province(范围) of the rich unless we abdicate(退位、放弃) society’s power of choice. We can choose to make opera and other expensive forms of culture, accessible(易接近的，可达到的) to those who cannot individually pay for it. The question is: why should we? No body denies the imperatives(必要的)of food, shelter, defence, health and education. But even in a prehistoric cave, man-kind stretched out a hand of not just to eat, drink or fight, but also to draw. The impulse(冲动) towards culture, the desire to express and explore the world through imagination and representation(表述、陈述)is fundamental. In Europe, this desire has found fulfillment(完成、成就) in the masterpieces of our music, art, literature and theatre. These masterpieces are the touchstones(标准、试金石) for all our efforts; they are the touchstones for the possibilities to which human thought and imagination may aspire(立志、追求目标、渴望); they carry the most profound (深厚的、深刻的)messages that can be sent from one human to another.参考译文：欣赏歌剧是一种奢侈：你必须为此支付昂贵的票价。

2002-2012专八翻译真题及参考答案

2002年E-C：The word “winner” and “loser” have many meanings. When they refer to a person as a w inner, we do not mean one who makes some else lose. To us, a winner is one who responds auth entically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genien, both as an individual and as a member of a society.Winners do not decide their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rath er, they are themselves and so much do not use their energy putting on a performance, mainta ining pretence(伪装) and manipulating(操纵) others. They are aware that there is a differenc e between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between be ing knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.参考译文：胜者不会穷其毕生精力，去拘泥于某个他们所想象的为人之道;相反，他们会保持其真我本色，并且，作为这种追求真我的仁者，他们不会绞尽脑汁装腔作势，维持一种自命不凡的姿态，或去操纵他人。

2000-2009英语专业八级考试翻译试题及参考译文

英语专业八级考试历届翻译试题参考答案2000年英语专业八级考试--翻译部分参考译文SECTION A原文中国科技馆的诞生来之不易。

与国际著名科技馆和其他博物馆相比，它先天有些不足，后天也常缺乏营养，但是它成长的步伐却是坚实而有力的。

它在国际上已被公认为后起之秀。

世界上第一代博物馆属于自然博物馆，它是通过化石、标本等向人们介绍地球和各种生物的演化历史。

第二代属于工业技术博物馆，它所展示的是工业文明带来的各种阶段性结果。

这两代博物馆虽然起到了传播科学知识的作用，但是，它们把参观者当成了被动的旁观者。

世界上第三代博物馆是充满全新理念的博物馆。

在这里，观众可以自己去动手操作，自己细心体察。

这样，他们可以更贴近先进的科学技术，去探索科学技术的奥妙。

中国科技馆正是这样的博物馆！它汲取了国际上一些著名博物馆的长处，设计制作了力学、光学、电学、热学、声学、生物学等展品，展示了科学的原理和先进的科技成果。

参考译文（1）：The first generation of museums are what might be called natural museums which, by means of fossils, specimens and other objects, introduced to people the evolutionary history of the Earth and various kinds of organisms. The second generation are those of industrial technologies which presented the fruits achieved by industrial civilization at different stages of industrialization. Despite the fact that those two generations of museums helped to disseminate / propagate / spread scientific knowledge, they nevertheless treated visitors merely as passive viewers.The third generation of museums in the world are those replete with / full of wholly novel concepts / notions / ideas. In those museums, visitors are allowed to operate the exhibits with their own hands, to observe and to experience carefully. By getting closer to the advanced science and technologies in this way, people can probe into their secret mysteries.The China Museum of Science and Technology is precisely one of such museums. It has incorporated some of the most fascinating features of those museums with international reputation. Having designed and created exhibits in mechanics,optics, electrical science, thermology, acoustics, and biology, those exhibits demonstrate scientific principles and present the most advanced scientific and technological achievements.参考译文（2）The first-generation museums in the world are museums of natural history. With fossils and specimens they introduce to people the evolution of the earth and various living organisms on it. The second-generation museums are those of industrial technology. Fruits of various stages of industrial civilization are on display here. Although these two generations of muslins have played the role of spreading scientific knowledge, they regard visitors as passive spectators. The world’s third-generation museums are full of completely new concepts. Here visitors can carry out operations and careful observations themselves. In this way they come closer to advanced achievements in science and technology so as to probe into their mystery.SECTION B原文：If people mean anything at all by the expression "untimely death", they must believe that some deaths run on a better schedule than others. Death in old age is rarely called untimely---a long life is thought to be a full one. But with the passing of a young person, one assumes that the best years lay ahead and the measure of that life was still to be taken.History denies this, of course. Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those of Marilyn Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and complete. Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year. The idea that the life cut short is unfilled is illogical because lives are measured by the impressions they leave on the world and by their intensity and virtue.参考译文（1）：如果人们藉"英年早逝"这一字眼真的意欲表达什么含义的话，他们必然相信某些人的辞世可以算是寿终正寝，而另一些人则"死不逢时" 。

近十年英语专业八级考试翻译原题及参考答案-

2007年英语专业八级测验翻译原题及参考答案之袁州冬雪创作C-E:暮色中，河湾里落满云霞，与天际的颜色混合一起，分不清哪是流云哪是水湾.也就在这一幅绚烂的图画旁边，在河湾之畔，一群羊正在低头寻食.它们几乎没有一个顾得上抬起头来，看一眼这斑斓的黄昏.也许它们要抓紧时间，在即将回家的最后一刻再次品味.这是黄河滩上的一幕.牧羊人不见了，他不知在何处歇息.只有这些美生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏.这儿水草肥美，让它们长得肥滚滚的，像些胖娃娃.如果走近了，会发现它们那心爱的神情，皎白的牙齿，那丰富而单纯的神色.如果稍稍长久一点端详这张张脸蛋，还会生出无限的恻隐.Beside this picture with profusions of colors, a group of sheep are lowing their heads, eating by the river bank. Hardly none of them would spare some time to raise their eyes to have a glance at the beautiful dusk. They are, perhaps, taking use of every minute to enjoy their last chew before being driven home. This is a picture of the Yellow River bank, in which the shepherd disappears, and no one knows where he is resting himself. Only the sheep, however, as free creatures, are joyfully appreciating the dusk. The exuberant waterplants have nutrited the sheep, making them grow as fat as balls. When approaching near, you would find their lily-white teeth and a variety of innocent facial impressions.2008年英语专业八级测验翻译原题及参考答案都市寸土千金，地价炒得越来越高.此后将更高.拥有一个小小花园的希望，对寻常之辈不啻是一种奢望，一种胡想.我想，其实谁都有一个小小花园，这即是我们的心坎世界.人的智力需要开辟，人的心坎世界也是需要开辟的.人和动物的区别，除了众所周知的诸多方面，生怕还在于人有心坎世界.心不过是人的一个重要脏器，而心坎世界是一种景观，它是由外部世界不竭地作用于心坎渐渐形成的.每一个人都无比关注自己及至亲至爱之人心脏的健损，以至于稍有微疾便惶惶不成终日.但并不是每一个人都关注自己及至亲至爱之人的心坎世界的阴晴.作者：梁晓声题目：《心灵的花园》参考译文I think everyone, in effect, has a small garden or a flower bed of his own, namely, our inner world. Just as there is a need for human beings to tap into their own intelligence, so is the case with their inner world. What distinguishes between human beings and animals, apart from the various aspects which are universally known, may probably be in that human beingshave an inner world. Heart is no more than an important organ whereas the inner world constitutes a landscape, which gradually takes its shape under the continuous influence from the outside world. So great is the importance that everyone attaches to the physical condition of his own heart or those of his closest and dearest ones that merely a minor disease would enduringly weigh on his mind.2009年专业八级测验翻译真题汉译英：手机改变了人与人之间的关系.通常有注意到会议室的门上的告示，写着―关闭手机.‖然而，会议室仍然充满着铃声.我们都是普通人，没有很多重要的事情.但是，我们也不肯轻易关闭手机.打开手机象征着我们与世界的接洽.手机反映出我们的社交饥渴.我们常常看到，一个人走着走着，就突然停下来了，眼睛盯着他的手机，不管他在那边，无论是在道路中心或旁边有厕所.Cell phone has altered human relations. There is usually a note on the door of conference room， which reads "close your handset." However， the rings are still resounding in the room. We are all common people and have few urgencies to do. Still， we are reluctant to turn off the phone. Cell phone symbolizes ourconnection with the world and reflects our "thirst for socialization." We are familiar with the scene when a person stops his steps to edit short messages with eyes glued at his phone， disregard of his location， whether in road center or beside restroom.2010专业八级翻译真题汉译英：朋友之间，情趣相投、脾气对味则合、则交，反之，则离、则绝.朋友之间再熟悉、再亲密，也不克不及随便过头、不恭不敬，这样，默契和平衡将被打破，友好关系将不复存在.每一个人都希望拥有自己的一片私密空间，朋友之间过于随便，就容易侵入这片禁区，从而引起冲突，造成隔阂.待友不敬，有时或许只是一件小事，却能够已埋下了破坏性的种子.维持朋友亲密关系的最好法子是往来有节，互不干涉.参考译文：For the relationship between friends, similar habits and tempers help to make it closer; on the other hand, opposite ones leave distance from each other. No matter how familiar and intimate the friends are, the relationship should be treated carefully and respect should be treasured for friends. Otherwise, the partnership and balance would be broken; as a result, a good relationship would no longer exist. Everyone hasa desire for his own personal space, which could be easily invaded if the attitude between friends is too free. Then conflicts appear, causing barriers. Although it seems a small case of not respecting friends, harmful seeds may be sowed to ruin the relationship. In a word, the best way to keep positive friendship is associating with temperate manners and without too much interference.2011年专业八级测验翻译真题汉译英现代社会无讲价值观的持有还是生活方式的选择都充满了抵触.而最让现代人感到尴尬的是，面临重重抵触，许多时候你别无选择.匆忙与休闲是截然分歧的两种生活方式.但在现实生活中，人们却在这两种生活方式间频繁穿梭，有时也说不清自己到底是―休闲着‖还是―繁忙着‖.譬如说，当我们正在旅游胜地享受假期，却忽然接到老板的电话，告知我们客户或工作方面出了费事——现代便捷先进工具在此刻显示出了它狰狞、阴郁的面庞——搞得人一下子兴趣全无.接下来的休闲只能徒有其表，因为心里已是火烧火燎了.参考译文：Being hasty and at leisure are two quite distinct lifestyles. But in the real world, people have to frequently shuttle between these two lifestyles,sometimes not sure whether they are ―at ease‖ or ―in a rush‖. For example, we are enjoying our ho lidays in the resort while suddenly we receive phone calls from the boss who tells us there are some troubles with our customers and work----so at this moment the modern, convenient and advanced device shows its vicious and gloomy features---and we lose all our interest. The subsequent leisure is the mere showy for we are in a restless and anxious state of mind.2012年专业八级测验翻译真题痛苦纠聚心中，眉心发烫发热，胸口郁闷难展，胃里一股气冲喉而上.院长说这孩子发育迟缓时，她更是心头无绪，她在育生所待的房里往返踱步，这房里还有其他小孩，每人一张围着栅栏的床，整个房间只有一扇窗，窗外树影婆娑，就让这孩子留下来吧，这里有善心的神父和修女，这里将来会扩大为有医疗作用的关照中心，这是留住孩子最好的地方.这孩子是她的奥秘，她将奥秘留在这树林掩映的建筑里. Tortured by the pains gathering in her heart, she felt something was burning between her eyebrows. Her chest was brimmed with depression which was likely to run out of her throat at any moment. She could not think clearly any longer when the headmaster told her that the childsuffered from developmental retardation. She strode up and down in the room where her child stayed with other pals. There was only one window in the room, out of which some shady tre es were whispering.“Just leave it here”，she told herself, “This is the best choice by far, for there are kind priests and nuns in this place which may also be renovated into a Medicare center”.The child was her secret which would be kept in the buildings behind the woods.2013年专业八级测验翻译真题生活就像一杯红酒，热爱生活的人会从其中品出无穷无尽的美好.将它握在手中仔细观察，它的暗红色中有血的感觉，那正是生命的痕迹.抿一口留在口中回味，它的甘甜中有一丝甜蜜，如人生一般复杂迷离.喝一口下肚，余香沁人心脾，让人终身受益.红酒越陈越甘旨，生活越丰富越夸姣.当人生走向晚年，就如一瓶待开封的好酒，其色彩是沉静的，味道中充满大方与智慧.Life is like a cup of wine; people who love it discover inexhaustible wonders from it. Hold in the hand and gaze at it, the dark red color is reminiscent of the blood, which is the impress of life. Take a sip of it and appreciate the taste, the bittersweet flavor is exactlythe same with life, which is complicated and blurred. Once the sip is swallowed, the lingering fragrance pleases the heart and refreshes the mind, leaving a person lifelong benefit. There was a remarkable resemblance between life and wine: the taste becomes more delicious as the wine mellows, just as life gets better as it becomes more abundant. When life comes to twilight years, it looks calm and tastes full of wisdom and generosity, just like a bottle of wine to be savored.2014年专业八级测验翻译真题当我在小学毕了业的时候，亲友一致的愿意我去学手艺，好帮忙母亲.我晓得我应当去找饭吃，以减轻母亲的勤劳困苦. 可是，我也愿意升学.我偷偷地考入了师范学校——制服，饭食，书籍，宿处，都由学校供给.只有这样，我才敢对母亲提升学的话.入学，要交十元的包管金.这是一笔巨款!母亲作了半个月的难，把这巨款筹到，而后含泪把我送出门去.她不辞劳苦，只要儿子有出息.当我由师范毕业，而被派为小学校长，母亲与我都一夜不曾合眼.我只说了句：“以后，您可以歇一歇了!”她的回答只有一串串的眼泪.After I graduated from primary school, relatives and friends all suggested that I should drop out and learn a tradeto help my mother. Although I knew that I ought to seek a livelihood to relieve mother of hard work and distress, I still aspired to go on with study. So I kept learning secretly. I had no courage to tell mother about the idea until admitted to a normal school which provided free uniforms, books, room and board. To enter the school, I had to pay ten Yuan as a deposit. This was a large sum of money for my family. However, after two weeks’ tough effort, mother managed to raise the money and sent me off to school in tears afterwards. She would spare no pains for her son to win a bright future. On the day when I was appointed the schoolmaster after graduation, mother and I spent a sleepless night. I said to her, "you can have a rest in the future." but she replied nothing, only with tears streaming down her face.2015年专业八级测验翻译真题茶花（camellia）的自然花期在12月至翌年4月，以红色系为主，还有黄色系和白色系等，花色艳丽.本届花展充分展示了茶花的品种资源和科研水平，是近三年来本市规模最大的一届茶花展.为了使广大植物高兴喜爱者有更多与茶花亲密接触的机会，本届茶花展的布展范围延伸至整个园区，为赏花游客带来便当.此次茶花展用时2个月，展期内200多个茶花品种将陆续表态.参考译文：Camellia’s flowering period starts from December and ends in the next April，and the colors of the flowers are bright and showy with red in majority, yellow, white and other colors in minority. It’s the city’s largest camellia show in recent three years, which fully displays camellia’s various species as well as human’s scientific research level of it. In order to provide the majority of plant-lovers with more opportunities to closely appreciate the beauty of camellia, the area of the Camellia Show is extended to the whole garden so that it can bring more convenience for the visitors.The Camellia Show takes over two months, in which more than 200 various camellias will be presented successively.2016年专业八级测验翻译真题流逝，表示了北国人对时间最早的感觉.“子在川上曰，逝者如斯夫.”他们发现无论是潺潺小溪，还是浩荡大河，都一去不复返，流逝之际青年变成了老翁而绿草转眼就枯黄，很自然有错阴的紧急感.流逝也许是缓慢的，但无论如何缓慢，对流逝的惊骇使人们必须用“流逝”这个词来时时鉴戒后人，必须急匆匆地行动，给这个词灌注一种严重感.They realized that both the babbling brook and the mighty river would flow on, and that their waters would never return. They found that as time passed by, young men would become old and the green grass would turn yellow and wither in almost the blink of an eye. A sense of urgency naturally arose over the elusiveness of time. No matter how slowly time flowed, the very fear of its transiency compelled people to use the word “passage”to warn the coming generations of the necessity of taking prompt action; thus instilling the word with a sense of tension.。

专八历年翻译真题详解

【2001年8级测试英译汉】Possession for its own sake or in competition with the rest of the neighborhood would have been Thoreau’s idea of the low levels1. The active discipline of heightening one’s perception of what is enduring in nature would have been his idea of the high2. What he saved from the low was time and effort he could spend on the high. Thoreau certainly disapproved of starvation, but he would put into feeding himself only as much effort as would keep him functioning for more important efforts.Effort is the gist of it3. There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging difficulties. Short of the impossible, as Yeats put it, the satisfaction we get from a lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties4. Robert Frost was thinking in something like the same terms when he spoke of “The pleasure of taking pains”5. The mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be effortless6.We demand difficulty even in our games. We demand it because without difficulty there can be no game. A game is a way of making something hard of the fun of it. The rules of the game are an arbitrary imposition of difficulty7. When someone ruins the fun, he always does so by refusing to play by the rules. It is easier to win at chess if you are free, at your pleasure, to change the wholly arbitrary rules, but the fun is in winning within the rules. No difficulty, no fun.【概述】这是一篇说理性的议论文，文章评论美国19世纪哲学家、思想家、作家亨利·大卫·梭罗对人生幸福的看法。

专业八级历年英译汉真题解析（1996-2014）1996年专八英译汉试题原文Four months before Election Day 1, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters 2 and reviewed an oversize calendar that marked the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign. It was the last Saturday in June and at ten o'clock in the morning the rest of the office was practically deserted 3. Even so, the men kept the door slut and the drapes carefully drawn. The three principals and their two deputies had come from around the country for a critical meeting 4. Their aim was to devise a strategy 5 that would guarantee Ronald Reagan's resounding reelection to a second term in the White House.It should have been easy. They were battle-tested veterans 6 with long ties to Reagan and even longer ties to the Republican Party, men who understood presidential politics 7 as well as any in the country. The backdrop 8 of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with: America was at peace, and the nation's economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession. Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed 9 , with plenty of money for a top-flight staff 10 , travel, and television commercials. And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills 11. Reagan has succeeded more than any president since John F. Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America —a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller federal government 12.【概述】本文是一篇典型的关于美国政治的时事杂文，用词色彩强烈，修饰语具有极端性和渲染性的特点。

英语专业八级考试翻译练习(共10篇,附答案)

英语专业八级考试翻译练习（共10篇，附答案）英语专业八级考试翻译练习（1）TRANSLATION (60 MIN)SECTION A: CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the following underlined text into English.简.奥斯丁的小说都是三五户人家居家度日，婚恋嫁娶的小事。

因此不少中国读者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的声誉。

但一部小说开掘得深不深，艺术和思想是否有过人之处，的确不在题材大小。

有人把奥斯丁的作品比作越咀嚼越有味道的橄榄。

这不仅因为她的语言精彩，并曾对小说艺术的发展有创造性的贡献，也因为她的轻快活泼的叙述实际上并不那么浅白，那么透明。

史密斯夫人说过，女作家常常试图修正现存的价值秩序，改变人们对“重要”和“不重要”的看法。

有人把奥斯丁的作品比作越咀嚼越有味道的橄榄。

这不仅因为她的语言精彩，并曾对小说艺术的发展有创造性的贡献，也因为她的轻快活泼的叙述实际上并不那么浅白，那么透明。

史密斯夫人说过，女作家常常试图修正现存的价值秩序，改变人们对“重要”和“不重要”的看法。

参考译文：However, subject matter is indeed not the decisive factor by which we judge a novel of its depth as well as (of ) its artistic appeal and ideological content (or: as to whether a novel digs deepor not or whether it excels in artistic appeal and ideological content). Some people compare Austen’s works to olives: the more you chew them, the more tasty (the tastier) they become. This comparison is based not only on (This is not only because of ) her expressive language and her creative contribution to the development of novel writing as an art, but also on (because of ) thefact that what hides behind her light and lively narrative is something implicit and opaque (not so explicit and transparent). Mrs. Smith once observed, women writers often sought (made attempts)to rectify the existing value concepts (orders) by changing people’s opinions on what is “important” and what is not.E-C原文I, by comparison, living in my overpriced city apartment, walking to work past putrid sacksof street garbage, paying usurious taxes to local and state governments I generally abhor, I amrated middle class.

1996年专八英译汉试题原文年专八英译汉试题原文Four months before Election Day 1, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters 2 and reviewed an oversize calendar that marked the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign. It was the last Saturday in June and at ten o'clock in the morning the rest of the office was practically deserted 3. Even so, the men kept the door slut and the drapes carefully drawn. The three principals and their two deputies had come from around the country for a critical meeting 4. Their aim was to devise a strategy 5 that would guarantee Ronald Reagan's resounding reelection to a second term in the White House. It should have been easy. They were battle-tested veterans 6 with long ties to Reagan and even longer ties to the Republican Party, men who understood presidential politics 7 as well as any in the country. The backdrop 8 of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with: America was at peace, and the nation's economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession. Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed 9 , with plenty of money for a top-flight staff 10 , travel, and television commercials. And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills 11. Reagan has succeeded more than any president since John F. Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America — a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller feder al government 12. 【参考译文参考译文】离选举日还有四个月，五个人聚集在里根—布什竞选总部的一个小型会议室里，看着一张硕大的日历， 1984 年总统竞选剩下的日子清晰地标了出来。

英语专业八级考试翻译练习（1）参考答案SECTION A: CHINESE TO ENGLISHBut the depth of a novel and its excellence in artistic quality and ideological content can never be judged by the significance or “insignificance” of the theme. Austen’s works have been compared to olives, which become the more delicious the more you chew them. This is not only because of her witty language and her creative contributions to the development of the art of novel writing, but also because of her vivid and lively narration, which is by no means shallow or transparent. Mrs. Smith said that women writers often tried to rectify the prevalent values and the existing social order and to change people’s views as to what was important and what was unimportant.SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE对我的儿子们来说,乡村当然有充足的新鲜而成熟的蔬菜,采钓的鱼,以及邻里果园和花园里可供分享的丰硕果实,乡下有位不计报酬的保姆,我儿媳看管他的孩子作为回报,.此外(且不说这些)你如何来衡量那种安静那种自我感呢?我无意将小城镇的生活理想化,因为有时外部的世界无情地侵入,比如汽油价格上涨或开发商着眼于未被染指的农田时,令人无法忍受的大城市的所有种种罪恶和卑劣行径在这小地方也同样存在.不仅如此当人们无法将它们解释为异族的怪异而不得不承认这一切都是我们自己的一部分时, 就更加难以忽视它们了.英语专业八级考试翻译练习（2）参考答案SECTION A: CHINESE TO ENGLISHIn Paris, cocktail parties and buffet receptions of different kinds offer great opportunities for making friends. On such occasions, strangers may get to know each other. If they are Asians, they will, very respectfully and with both hands, present their calling cards to their interlocutors before any conversation starts. This seems to be the required courtesy on their part. The French, however, usually are not so ready with such a formality. Both sides will greet each other, and even chat casually about any topic and then excuse themselves. Only when they find they like each other and hope to further the relationship will they exchange cards. It will seem very unnatural to do so before any real conversation gets under way.SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE这应该不是件难事。
