2014年杭州电子科技大学外国语学院801英汉互译考研真题及详解(试题共二大题,共2页,总分150分)一、第一题:英译汉(本题共75分)Anyone with a passion for hanging labels on people or things should have little difficulty in recognizing that all apt tag for our time is the Unkempt Generation. I am not referring solely to college kids. The sloppiness virus has spread to all sectors of society People go to all sorts of trouble and expense to look uncombed, unshaved, unpressed.The symbol of the times is blue jeans—not just blue jeans in good condition but jeans that are flayed, torn, discolored. They don’t get that way naturally. No one wants blue jeans that are crisply clean or spanking new. Manufacturers recognize a big market when they see it And they compete with one another to offer jeans that are made to look as though they’re just been discarded by clumsy house painters after ten years of wear The more faded and seemingly ancient the garment, the higher the cost. Disheveled is in fashion; neatness is obsolete.Nothing is wrong with comfortable clothing. It’s just that current usage is more reflective of a slavish conformity than a desire for ease. No generation has strained harder than ours to affect a casual, relaxed, cool look; none has succeeded more spectacularly in looking as though it had been stamped out by cookie cutters. The attempt to avoid any appearance of being well groomed or even neat has aquality of desperation about it and suggests a calculated and phony deprivation. We shun conventionality, but we put on a uniform to do it. An appearance of alienation is the triumphant goal, to be pursued in oversize sweaters and muddy sneakers.Slovenly speech comes off the same spool. Vocabulary, like blue jeans, is being drained of color and distinction. A complete sentence in everyday speech is as rare as a man’s tie in the swank Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel. People communicate in chopped-up phrases, relying on grunts and chants of “you know”or “I mean”to cover up a damnable incoherence Neatness should be no less important in language than it is in dress. But spew and sprawl are taking over. The English language is one of the greatest sources of wealth in the world. In the midst of accessible riches, we are linguistic paupers.Violence in language has become almost as casual as the possession of handguns. The curious notion has taken hold that emphasis in communication is impossible without the incessant use of four-letter words. Some screenwriters openly admit that they are careful not to turn in scripts that are devoid of foul language lest the classification office impose the curse of a (general) rating. Motion-picture exhibitors have a strong preference for the R(Restricted) rating, probably on the theory of forbidden fruit. Hence writers and producers have every incentive to employ tasteless language and gory scenes. (473 words)【参考译文】任何一个喜欢给别人或事物贴标签的人应该不难发现我们这个时代合适的标签是“邋遢的一代”。

It is perhaps unprecedented for it to do so by siding, in a contentious issue of global financial governance, with the superpower’s emerging rival, China. Yet that, in effect, is how America seems to interpret Britain’s plans, announced on March 12th, to join China’s new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) as a founding shareholder. China, naturally, is chuffed. Most other observers are confused.The AIIB is one of a number of new institutions launched by China, apparently in frustration at the failure of the existing international financial order to adapt quickly enough to accommodate its astonishing rise. Efforts to reform the International Monetary Fund are stalled in the United States Congress. America retains its tradition grip in the management of the World Bank. The AsianDevelopment Bank remains based in Manila, but it is mostly run by Japanese bureaucrats.So, it is perhaps understandable that China, flush with the world’s biggest foreign-exchange reserves and anxious to convert them into “soft power”, is building an alternative system. Its plans do not just include the AIIB, but also a New De velopment Bank launched with its “BRICS” partners—Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa—and a Silk Road development fund to boost “connectivity” with its neighbors. And, in the security sphere, there is the Shanghai Co-operation Organization that links it with Russia and Central Asia.America, however, has reacted negatively to the AIIB. Its officials argue that they have not “lobbied against” it. Instead they merely stressed how important it is that such an institution abide by international standards—of transparency, creditworthiness, environmental sustainability, and so on. But officials in Singapore, for example, a close partner to both America and China, say they had some difficult discussions with America when they decided to support China’s initiativ e.【参考译文】英国在外交政策上采取与其最亲近、最重要的盟友美国不同的立场,这是十分罕见的。

2018年杭州电子科技大学外国语学院801英汉互译考研真题及详解一、英译汉(本大题共1小题,每小题75分,本大题共75分)Several years ago I returned to Washington, D.C., and visited one of my old neighborhoods. I had been on Nash Street for more than twenty years and as I walked along the street, my mind was flooded by waves of nostalgia.I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once familiar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left undisturbed.As I remember my old apartment building, it was bright and alive. When I was a child, the apartment building was more than just a place to live in. It was a medieval castle, a pirate’s den, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among.Our favorite place to play was the coal bin. We would always use it as our rocket ship because the coal chute could be used as an escape hatch out of the basement into “outer space”. All of my memories were not confined to the apartment building; however, I have memories of many adventures outside of the building, also. My mother restricted how far we could go from the apartmentbuilding, but this placed no restrictions on our exploring instinct.There was a small branch in back of the building where my friends and I would play. We enjoyed it there because honeysuckles (金银花) grew there. We would go there to lie in the shade and suck the sweet smelling honeysuckles.This is how I remembered the old neighborhood; however, as I said, this is not how it was when I saw it. Unlike before, the apartment building was now rundown and in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The court was dirty and broken up, and the windows in the building were all broken out.The once clean walls were covered with graffiti and other stains. There were no medieval knights or pirates running around the place now, nor spacemen insisted, there were a few tough looking adolescents who looked much older than their ages.The once sweet smelling area now smelled horrible. The stench from my once idyllic haven was heart wrenching.I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories will ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, “You can never go home again.”【参考译文】几年前我回到了华盛顿,重访我的一处故居。

John was a well-set man about five-and-twenty;Sarah a brown woman of eighteen. John had for several months borne the labor of the day in the same field with Sarah; when she milked,it was his morning and evening charge to bring the cows to her pail.Their love was the talk,but not the scandal of the neighborhood;for all they aimed at was the blameless possession of each other in marriage.It was but this very morning that he obtained her parents’consent,and it was but till the next week that they were to wait to be happy.Perhaps this very day,in the intervals of their work,they were talking of their wedding clothes;and John was now matching several kinds of poppies and field flowers to her complexion,to make her a present of knots for the day.While they were thus employed(it was on the last day of July,)a terrible storm of thunder and lightning arose,that drove the laborers to what shelter the trees or hedges afforded. Sarah,frightened and out ofbreath,sunk on a haycock,and John(who neverseparated from her)sat by her side,haying raked two or three heaps together to secure her.Immediately there was heard so loud a crack as if heaven had burst asunder.The laborers,all solicitous for each other’s safety,called to one another: those who were nearest our lovers,hearing no answer,stepped to the place where they lay.They first saw a little smoke,and after,this faithful pair;John with one arm about Sarah’s neck,and the other held over her face,as if to screen her from the lightning.They were struck dead,and already grown stiff and cold in this tender posture.There was no mark or discoloring on their bodies,only that Sarah’s eyebrow was a little singed,and a small spot between her breasts.They were buried next day in one grave,in the parish of Stanton Harcourt; where my Lord Harcourt,at my request,has erected a monument over them.【参考译文】我想在信纸空余的地方写一写我亲眼见到的一件事情,这件事给我留下很深的印象。

2011年青岛大学外语学院848英汉互译与汉语写作考研真题Part I.Translate the following terms and passages into Chinese(60points).A1.setting2.plot3.point of view4.flat character5.dramatic monologue6.black humor7.tragicomedy8.expressionism9.lost generation10.stream of consciousnessBThe speciality of the novel is that the writer can talk about his characters as well as through them,or can arrange for us to listen when they talk to themselves.He has access to self-communings,and from that level he can descend even deeper and peer into the subconscious.A man does not talk to himself quite truly—not even to himself;the happiness or misery that he secretly feels proceeds from causes that he cannot quite explain,because as soon as he raises them to the levelof the explicable they lose their native quality.The novelist has a real pull here.He can show the subconscious short-circuiting straight into action(the dramatist can do this too);he can also show it in its relation to soliloquy.He commands all the secret life,and he must not be robbed of his privilege.C...There the meadows are all lawns with the lustrous green of spring even in August,and often over-shadowed by old,fruit-trees—cherry,or apple,or pear;and on Sunday after the rain there was an April glory and freshness added to the quiet of the later summer.Nowhere and never in the world can there have been a deeper peace;and the bells from the little red church down by the river seemed to be the music of it,as the song of birds is the music of spring.There one saw how beautiful the life of man can be,and how men by the innocent labors of many generations can give to the earth a beauty it has never known in its wildness.And all this peace, one knew,was threatened;and the threat came into one's mind as if it were a soundless message from over the great eastward plain;and with it the beauty seemed unsubstantial and strange,as if it were sinking away into the past,as if it were only a memory of childhood.D“His pride,”said Miss Lucas,“does not offend me so much as pride often does,because there is an excuse for it.One cannot wonder that so very fine ayoung man,with family,fortune,everything in his favor,should think highly of himself.If I may so express it,he has a right to be proud.”“That is very true,”replied Elizabeth,“and I could easily forgive his pride,if he had not mortified mine.”“Pride,”observed Mary,who piqued herself upon the solidity of her reflections,“is a very common failing I believe.By all that I have ever read,I am convinced that it is very common indeed,that human nature is particularly prone to it,and that there are very few of us who do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of some quality or other,real or imaginary.Vanity and pride are different things,though the words are often used synonymously.A person may be proud without being vain.Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves,vanity to what we would have others think of us.”Part II.Translate the following passages into English(40points).我对于海,好像着了魔似的一天比一天迷恋起来,我爱它,甚至一天也不能离开它。

That ban has not been rigorously or consistently enforced, however. Beijing plans by the end of the year to announce national rules that could either formally legalise the growing car-hailing industry or strangle it.People in the industry point out that even if the draft regulationsare adopted,there still would be ample room for municipal regulators to issue detailed local policies that could affect their implementation.Some of the rules are as strict as those on the heavily regulated traditional taxi industry, and thus could prove costly if rigorously enforced nationwide, they said.【参考译文】北京方面把目光投向中国的“共享经济”,发布法规草案,拟对私人叫车服务实行类似于出租车的限制,此举可能推高互联网打车应用领先者优步和滴滴快的的成本。

2013年北京外国语大学高级翻译学院816英汉互译(同声传译)考研真题及详解招生专业:外国语言学及应用语言学科目名称:英汉互译(同传)一、将下列段落译为汉语(25分)The elections in France and Greece tell us that austerity fatigue has set in.This is not surprising.For many countries no plausible exit exists from depression, deflation and despair.If the currency union were a normal fixed exchange rate arrangement,it would collapse,as did the gold standard in the1930s and the Bretton Woods system in the1970s.The question is whether the fact that it is a monetary union will do more than delay that outcome.Mr.Hollande says his mission is to give Europe“a dimension of growth and prosperity”.So can he achieve this laudable aim?Fiscal tightening does not improve outcomes in shrinking economies.Thus, austerity is merely begetting more austerity.According to IMF,the ratio of gross public debt to gross domestic product will rise,not fall,in every year from2008to 2013in Ireland,Italy,Spain and Portugal.It will briefly fall in Greece,but only because of its debt restructuring.The IMF forecasts that the economy will shrink this year,in real terms,and growth is forecast,optimistically,at close to zero in these countries in2013.This is politically perilous.The emergence of still more extremist parties and a rising sense of betrayal seems inevitable.(206)【参考译文】法国和希腊的选举告诉我们,“紧缩计划疲劳症”已开始显现。

郭著章李庆⽣《英汉互译实⽤教程》笔记和课后习题(含考研真题)详解(⽂化与翻译)【圣才出品】第8章⽂化与翻译8.1 复习笔记第1节概述⼀、⽂化概念1. ⼴义⽂化⼴义论者认为:⽂化是个⼏乎⽆所不包的⼤范围、⼤概念,既有属于物质领域的,也有属于意识形态领域的。
据此⼴义定义,美国著名翻译理论家尤⾦·奈达将语⾔⽂化特性分为五类:(1) Ecology⽣态学;(2) Material Culture物质⽂化;(3) Social Culture社会⽂化;(4) Religious Culture宗教⽂化;(5) Linguistic Culture语⾔⽂化。
2. 狭义⽂化狭义论者却认为⽂化只指精神⽂明,这是中外⼤多数⼈⽐较⼀致的看法。
⼆、翻译与⽂化关系1. 任何翻译都离不开⽂化。
历来有经验的译者或翻译研究者都⽐较注意⽂化与翻译的关系。
2.在学习⼀种语⾔的过程中认真研究与该语⾔相关联的⽂化,⼤量的⽂化信息可以等值传递,这就是两种⽂化共性的东西。
与两种⽂化的差异相联的内容构成了翻译中的难题,这种难题任何译者都会经常遇到。
第2节⼤众审美⼼理与⼴告翻译⼀、⼤众审美⼼理与⼴告翻译的关系审美⼼理是⼀种综合的⽂化意识,涉及到政治观点、宗教观念、⽣活⽅式和风俗习惯等各个⽅⾯,⼤众审美⼼理更是如此;⽽⼴告⼜是⼀种⾯对⼤众的重要宣传⼿段,本⾝就是⼀种重要的社会⽂化,它不仅要遵循社会⽂化习惯和投合⼤众审美⼼理,⽽且在影响和形成社会⽂化和审美⼼理⽅⾯起着重要作⽤。
⼆、翻译⽅法1. 熟悉外族⽂化,了解异域⼈民审美⼼理;否则的话,就会在出⼝商品的商标翻译中出现败笔。
如:“蜜蜂”牌洗澡⾹皂被直译为“Bees”,看来也是完全对应的英译,但英⽂读者却不欢迎这个译名,因为蜜蜂⾝上有⼏乎看不见的绒刺,擦在⾝上⾃然感觉不到舒服。
2. 为向译⽂读者忠实地转达原⽂信息,有时要作适当的⽂化转换。
如:“⽟兔”这⼀商标为什么英译成“Moon Rabbit”⽽不译成“Jade Rabbit”?原因在于:“⽟兔”乃我国神话中陪伴吴刚⽣活在⽉宫桂花树下的兔⼦,因此,它⼜成为⽉的代称。

There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter - the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; naives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum, or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors, or a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference; each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love, each absorbs New York with the fresh eyes of an adventurer, each generates heat and light to dwarf the Consolidated Edison Company. The commuter is the queerest bird of all.The suburb he inhabits has no essential vitality of its own and is mere roost where he comes at day's end to go to sleep.(280 words)【参考译文】纽约人大体上有三类。

I have asked this Panel to offer a vision for sustainable development and prosperity for a planet under increasing pressure. I have asked them to find integrated solutions to the global challenges of poverty, climate change, water, food, and energy security. These problems are interconnected. The Panel will report back by the end of 2011. Its work will venture into many issues, many sectors, many cross-cutting areas. I have asked the Panel members to think big, to be bold and ambitious not to shy away from controversy. And I have asked them to be strategic and practical. Their recommendations must be politically viable and lead to tangible progress. Their findings will feed into intergovernmental processes, such as the climate change negotiations. They will play a key part in the Rio 2012 Earth Summit, twenty years after world leadersagreed on Agenda 21, our blueprint for sustainable development.We are seeing some progress on important issues, such as adaptation, technology cooperation and steps to reduce deforestation. I also believe there has been some progress on financing, both on mobilizing 30 billion dollars of fast-start finding over the next three years and also on the 100 billion dollars a year envisioned by 2020. I am, however, 3 concerned about slow progress in other areas. Among them: setting mitigation targets,monitoring and verification,and the future of the Kyoto Protocol. We must not allow momentum to stall. We must not jeopardize the gains we have made.The UNFCCC process must go forward in Cancun in December I am there for calling on all member states, all governments of the world to work together in a spirit of compromise and common sense. Progress on adaptation, technology cooperation, deforestation and finance can achieve powerful results, results that can offer hope and change the lives of hundreds of millions of people, particularly the world’s poorest and most vulnerable.【参考译文】我与芬兰总统、南非总统共同成立了全球可持续问题高级别小组。

My class of approximately 1550 has generated a Nobel Prize winner, a Pulitzer Prize winner, a World Bank chief, a few ambassadors, at least one current governor and several mayors. I know former classmates who are university presidents, college professors, CEOs and so on.What a load of over-achievers!Meanwhile, the rest of us remain uncelebrated, absent from the public eye, not courted by private bankers, nosy paparazzi (狗仔队), respected charities, luxury real estate agents or art auction houses.Post-graduate achievement is usually measured in degrees earned and awarded, class rankings, corporate titles, magazine covers and social media popularity, and money made. At elite institutions’ alumni gatherings, the bar for storytelling is set high, with summary biographies of our most luminous graduates shared in hushed murmurs. How can we compare ourselves to our peer’s stupendously visible achievements and not think ourselves failures?In the 1800s, Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard (克尔凯郭尔) addressed the same question with his own story: “The Lily in the Field and the Bird of the Air”. Init, Kierkegaard describes a little bird that loves to gossip to its friend the lily. The bird, he writes, has a bad habit of saying “all sorts of things, true and untrue, about o ther places where lilies far more splendid were found in great abundance”. The listening lily, in turn, becomes troubled. Seeing its own unsplendid existence in comparison to the bird’s fantastic tales of other and better lilies, the lily begins to doubt whether it deserves to call itself a lily at all.In the distress of comparison, the troubled person may go at last so far that in view of the difference he forgets that he is a man. In despair, he conceives himself so different from other men, that he even conceives he is different from what is meant by being a man, just as the lily was so inconspicuous that it was questionable if it was really a lily.In other words, it’s not just painful to doubt. T o measure success in any way but from the inside is to rock the foundations of your identity.Most of us are already busy enough trying to get by. We are busy with the practical tasks of everyday living, doing and redoing, learning and changing, and sometimes staying the course. We might compare our performance on an examination, or a recent grant proposal; but to compare ourselves against others in the totality of being a successful adult is odious and futile.Many of us are not the kind of successful that’s easy to see. Many of us who have enjoyed financial success were extremely fortune, but perhaps not so lucky in love. Many of us understand now that no matter how hard you work or how brilliant y ou might be, luck has far more to do with “success” than one mightimagine.【参考译文】中年,失业,单身,破产,我与许多大学同学们相比是一个完完全全的失败者。

It is perhaps unprecedented for it to do so by siding, in a contentious issue of global financial governance, with the superpower’s emerging rival, China. Yet that, in effect, is how America seems to interpret Britain’s plans, announced on March 12th, to join China’s new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) as a founding shareholder. China, naturally, is chuffed. Most other observers are confused.The AIIB is one of a number of new institutions launched by China, apparently in frustration at the failure of the existing international financial order to adapt quickly enough to accommodate its astonishing rise. Efforts to reform the International Monetary Fund are stalled in the United States Congress. America retains its tradition grip in the management of the World Bank. The AsianDevelopment Bank remains based in Manila, but it is mostlyrun by Japanese bureaucrats.So, it is perhaps understandable that China, flush with the world’s biggest foreign-exchange reserves and anxious to convert them into “soft power”, is building an alternative system. Its plans do not just include the AIIB, but also a New De velopment Bank launched with its “BRICS” partners—Brazil, Russia, India and South Africa—and a Silk Road development fund to boost “connectivity” with its neigh bors. And, in the security sphere, there is the Shanghai Co-operation Organization that links it with Russia and Central Asia.America, however, has reacted negatively to the AIIB. Its officials argue that they have not “lobbied against” it. Instead they merely stressed how important it is that such an institution abide by international standards—of transparency, creditworthiness, environmental sustainability, and so on. But officials in Singapore, for example, a close partner to both America and China, say they had some difficult discussions with America when they decided to support China’s initiativ e.【参考译文】英国在外交政策上采取与其最亲近、最重要的盟友美国不同的立场,这是十分罕见的。

Their titles are impressive-CEO, chairman, president-and photos portray them as polished and confident. What an inspiration they could be to the young women following them!But what if those young women don’t aspire to a corner office? A week after the Fortune list appeared on newsstands, a major national study of teenagers revealed a surprising finding: while 97 percent of girls polled expect to work to support themselves or their families, only 9 percent want careers in business. Among boys, the figure is 15 percent.But why do girls shy away from business? The number of women applying to business schools has dropped off. By contrast, women make up half the students in medical and law schools.Unlike boys in the study, who say they want to earn a lot of money, girls place great importance on helping others and improving society. But they don’t see connections between those goals and business, which they equate with finance and numbers. And they’re less c onfident than boys about their business-related skills.Teen girls also place a high value on having enough time to spend with family and friends. In describing business, Professor Wilson says, “they used many images involving stress-images about dads having to make conference calls on vacation, and moms always being tired when they got home, or complaining about their bad bosses.”As it happens, mothers are the primary source of career advice for daughters. But parents' goals are often less well defined for girls than for boys.Wilson calls the lack of women at the top “alarming”, adding that the study doesn’t offer a lot of hope that future generations will swell the ranks of women in leadership positions.【参考译文】每年,《财富》杂志都会发布一份商界最具影响力的50位女性的榜单来祝贺美国企业界的女性。

The birth is softly rustling gold, which is now fluttering down like an unending stream of confetti. Soon November will be approaching with its autumn storms and leaden clouds, hanging above your head like Soaking wet rags. Just let it stay like this, I think, gazing at the huge mysterious shadows the trees conjure up on the shining green meadows,the cows languidly flicking their tails. Everything breathes an air of stillness, the silence rent by the exuberant colors of asters, dahlias, sunflowers and roses.The mornings begin chilly. The evenings give you shivers and cold feet in bed. But in the middle of the day the sun breaks through, evaporating the mist on the grass, butterflies and wasps appear and Cobwebs glisten against windows like silver lace. The harvest of a whole year’s hard work is on the trees and bushes; berries, beech mast, chestnuts, acorns.Suddenly I think of my youngest daughter, living now in Amsterdam. One day soon she will call and ask, “Have you planted the bulbs yet?” Then I will answer teasingly that actually I’m waiting until she comes to help me. And then we will both be overcome by nostalgia, because once we always did that together. One entire sunny autumn afternoon, when she was just over three and a half years old, she helped me with all the enthusiasm and joyfulness of her age.参考译文:一棵棵树枝叶茂盛,金色的叶子在风中发出轻微的沙沙声,就像是不断随风飘下的五彩纸屑。

第1章英汉互译考研真题分析一般来说,英汉互译是全国各院校英语专业研究生入学考试常考的科目或者是考试科目中的常考内容,从“试题来源详细目录”中68所院校的考试科目就可以看出,除了“翻译理论与实践”、“翻译与写作”、“英语翻译基础”等考试科目必考英译汉或者汉译英,基础英语、英语综合水平测试、综合英语等必考科目的试题中都考英译汉或者汉译英的内容,也就是说,大多数的英语专业(包括英美文学、外国语言学及应用语言学等专业)都要考英语翻译的内容,因此,英汉互译对于报考英语专业的考生来说就显得非常重要!英汉互译是许多学生得分不理想的考试内容,特别是一些著名院校(如北京外国语大学、上海外国语大学等)英语专业研究生入学考试的英汉互译试题就充分体现了名校的高水平,其难度超出专业八级的翻译标准,甚至高于全国外语翻译证书一级笔译考试的要求。
但对于各个院校来说,英语专业历年考研翻译试题的选材特点、考试侧重点和难度都存在差异,下面对全国68所院校英语专业研究生入学考试的英汉互译试题进行分析,以便读者更好地选择院校和考试科目。
需要说明的一点就是:由于院校自主命题,院校的考试科目和翻译题型不是一成不变,一些院校年份较早的考试科目现在已不再考查,但其翻译试题依然有很好的参考价值,因此,本书也会对这些考试科目进行分析。
1.1 全国68所院校英汉互译试题分析北京地区1.北京大学翻译部分的试题来自英语语言文学专业考试科目“专业能力”和翻译硕士专业学位考试科目“英语翻译基础”。
“专业能力”翻译部分为英译汉和汉译英的篇章或段落翻译,各占50分。
英译汉多考的是十七、十八世纪的文章,尤其是富含哲理的文章,如培根的《论婚姻》,汉译英多以文言文为主,如《出师表》等,以及现代著名散文,如《秋夜》、《荷塘月色》等这一类文学色彩浓、思想性比较深刻而且语言优雅的散文。
英译汉和汉译英两部分对考生的要求都很高,不仅要译出原文的思想,还要尽量使译文的风格与笔调与原文保持一致,比较注重考查考生的语言功底和文学修养水平。
“英语翻译基础”是全日制翻译硕士专业学位研究生入学考试的基础课考试科目,有国家颁布的统一的考试大纲,大纲要求“英语翻译基础”考生具备一定中外文化,以及政治、经济、法律等方面的背景知识,考试内容为术语、缩略语或专有名词的词语翻译(各占15分)和英汉互译的段落或篇章翻译(各占60分)。
如北大2013年“英语翻译基础”便考到“CIA、heresy、fiscal policy、三K党、戴维营”等词汇翻译,英译汉篇章翻译内容是关于苏联解体后东欧国家的形势和发展趋势。
需要注意的是,北大一向注重人文,散文、文言文等其他院校翻译硕士翻译试题中一般很少出现的题材,考生一定不能忽视。
由于“英语翻译基础”有明确的考试大纲要求,其出题形式和分值较为固定,所以对于下面考查该科目的高校不再一一分析说明。
2.中国人民大学人大外语学院2008年取消了外国语言学及应用语言学专业,并对所设置的各个专业的研究方向进行了细化,英语语言文学分为英美文学、英语语言学英语教学、翻译理论与实践、英语国家文化四个方向,从2008年开始,翻译部分来自考试科目“基础英语”和“翻译理论与实践”。
“基础英语”2006年只考汉译英部分,分值为30分,2007年翻译部分增加了英译汉部分,各为20分。
“基础英语”涉及的翻译内容多是介绍说明类的文章:英译汉部分如2004年是一篇有关计算机的科技说明文,而2005是介绍一种美容护肤品特点的说明书,2007年介绍的是作家如何遣词造句;汉译英部分如2003年是一小段介绍中国是“一个地域辽阔,有着数千年悠久历史的多民族国家”的短文,2005年是要翻译一家公司的简介,2006年是关于北京航空航天大学外语系发展现状的介绍说明文。
2008年“基础英语”则考了一段广告翻译和一段时文翻译,应用性较强。
“翻译理论与实践”是2008年才设立的科目,且试题不对外公布,在此不多作分析。
2006年考试科目“专业英语”也考过翻译内容。
“专业英语”2006年分为Linguistics,Literature和Culture & Translation三部分,其中Linguistics和Culture & Translation 部分包含翻译内容,Linguistics部分考的是一篇英译汉文章,分值为30分,文章涉及了关于语言学方面一些术语的翻译,翻译内容不是很难;Culture & Translation部分要求把8个英文的新闻标题翻译为汉语,分值为30分,尽管题量不大,但具有一定难度,译文必须地道、得体,还要符合新闻特色。
2007年“专业英语”考试科目没有涉及翻译内容。
3.北京师范大学考试科目“基础英语”、“英语语言文学”都考翻译内容。
“基础英语”翻译分值一般为50分,英汉翻译和汉英翻译各占一半。
从近几年的考题来看,英译汉部分和汉译英部分难度适当,内容多节选自国内外文学作品,而且体裁多为散文,如英译汉部分,2001年谈现实存在的历史和思维中的历史,2002年考的是“战争的危害”,2003年是“人类与自然平衡的关系”,2005年谈“风格一词”以及汉译英部分2005年谈“直译”的由来,2007年梁实秋的“读画”等,它们可归为议论性散文;英译汉部分2003年的“民族所需要的雄健精神”,2004年“书和人类关系”以及在汉译英部分2004年“我对镜中的自己的感慨”可归为抒情性散文,而汉译英部分2001年“多彩的乐山龙舟”,2002年“我和书籍的分离”以及2007年老舍的“养花”可归为记叙性散文。
由此可见,考生要在该院校此科目取得高分就必须重视散文体裁的翻译。
考生需要多注意这方面的翻译文章。
在“英语语言文学”科目里,翻译比重为50分,英汉翻译和汉英翻译各占25分,翻译题材多涉及翻译、文化等话题,多为议论性体裁,如2005年英译汉部分考的是“翻译与人类语言的交流”,汉译英部分则是个人总结的翻译心得,2006年英译汉部分谈论的依旧是翻译话题,汉译英部分节选自选自鲁迅的一篇杂文《而已集·文学与出汗》,2007年汉译英部分来自钱钟书《围城》的序,所以,考生要特别注意这方面的文章的练习。
4.对外经济贸易大学考试科目“基础英语”、“综合英语”、“专业英语(翻译理论与实践)”、“翻译”、“英语翻译基础”都考过翻译方面的内容。
在基础英语科目中,翻译题目类型较多,大概有以下几种类型:篇章的汉译英(2003~2005年)及英译汉(2009年);句子的英译汉(2005年)及汉译英(2006年);句子及习语的英语释义(即paraphrasing)等。
“综合英语”是从2007年开始出现的考试科目,2007年和2008年翻译内容为对划线句子的paraphrasing题型,分值为20分,和英汉互译题型,分值为60分,从2009年开始“综合英语”题型变动较大,翻译部分降至35分,为汉译英题型,“综合英语”的翻译部分均为段落翻译,大多为应用性较强的文章,比如关于经济发展、政治时事类的和科技类的,文学体裁的文章偶尔也会涉及。
在准备“基础英语”、“综合英语”翻译的时候,考生最好具备一定的经济知识背景。
在“专业英语(翻译理论与实践)”科目中,翻译内容占80分,英译汉和汉译英各为40分,2006年英译汉和汉译英各有两篇文章,一篇较长,一篇较短。
英译汉和汉译英两部分均涉及到经济题材的内容,英译汉谈的是签署意向书的问题,汉译英则是放宽产品内销比例的问题,其他两篇文章英译汉讲的是如何吸收书中的养分,汉译英为关于小巷的一篇散文。
“翻译”科目的第一部分为词组翻译,多是对翻译术语概念的解释,占20分,其他两部分是英译汉和汉译英。
2005年英译汉是2篇文章,共占60分,一篇讲股票,一篇为散文;汉译英共4篇文章,共占70分,一篇为散文,两篇为经济题材,分别涉及WTO的倾销问题和小公司的活力,另外一篇为文言文。
可见,翻译题材涉及较广,而有关经济题材英汉互译方面的复习更是必不可少的。
5.北京外国语大学北京外国语大学翻译内容来自考试科目“英语基础技能测试”(2011年之前科目名称为“基础英语”)、“英汉互译(同声传译)”、“英汉互译(复语)”、“英汉互译(笔译)”(2011年之前科目名称为“英语翻译理论与实践”)、“英语翻译基础”。
从历年试题来看,翻译的内容较杂,有散文、记叙文、科技说明文等。
“英汉互译(同声传译)”、“英汉互译(复语)”科目中翻译分为汉译英和英译汉两部分,每部分各占75分,主要涉及国际时事、政治经济、政府工作报告等方面内容的翻译,考生需要对一些人名、地名、组织机构等专有名词及社会热点方面的词汇有较好的掌握。
考试科目“英汉互译(笔译)”包含汉译英和英译汉的篇章翻译和写一篇或两篇关于翻译理论或现象等方面的英语文章。
英译汉文章大多选自国外作家的作品,内容涉及散文、评论、文化、科普科研等,体裁不一,文章翻译难度较大。
汉译英经常会涉及文言文的翻译,如2006年文章节选自韩愈的《原道》,文中观点鲜明,有破有立,引证今古,从历史发展、社会生活等方面,层层剖析,驳斥佛老之非,论述儒学之是,对于没接触过此文的考生,文章理解起来具有相当的难度,完成一篇高质量的译文就更加不易。
总之,北京外国语大学的试题偏难,需要考生具有非常扎实的双语基本功和对中英两种文化深刻的理解和认识。
