在连绵不断的战争、学运的夹缝中,在极为恶劣的环境下,他跋涉五千⾥、五易校址、历经五省、颠沛流离,居然将这所他接⼿时只有三个学院、⼗六个系的⼤学办成了拥有七个学院、⼆⼗七个学系全国最完整的两所⼤学之⼀。

英语四级翻译真题及范文答案(2017-12)

____年12月大学英语四级考试翻译题目许多人喜欢中餐,在中国,烹饪不仅被视为一种技能,而且也被视为一种艺术。

精心准备的中餐既可口又好看,烹饪技艺和配料在中国各地差别很大。

但好的烹饪都有一个共同点,总是要考虑到颜色、味道、口感和营养(nutrition)。

由于食物对健康至关重要,好的厨师总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜之间取得平衡,所以中餐既味美又健康。

信息技术(Information Technology),正在飞速发展,中国公民也越来越重视信息技术,有些学校甚至将信息技术作为必修课程,对这一现象大家持不同观点。

一部分人认为这是没有必要的,学生就应该学习传统的课程。

另一部分人认为这是应该的,中国就应该与时俱进。

不管怎样,信息技术引起广大人民的重视是一件好事。

"你要茶还是咖啡?"是用餐人常被问到的问题,许多西方人会选咖啡,而中国人则会选茶,相传,中国的一位帝王于五千年前发现了茶,并用来治病,在明清(the qing dynasties)期间,茶馆遍布全国,饮茶在六世纪传到日本,但直到18世纪才传到欧美,如今,茶是世界上最流行的饮料(beverage)之一,茶是中国的瑰宝。

What’s the connection between a wet day and a search for buried treasure? Well, it’s quite simple. Ireland, as some of you may already know, is the home of Leprechauns —little men who possess magic powers and, perhaps more interestingly, pots of gold.(2)Now, although Leprechauns are interesting characters, I have to admit that I was more interested in the stories of their treasure hoard. This, as all of Ireland knows, they hide at the end of the rainbow. Leprechauns can be fearsome folk but if you can discover the end of the rainbow, they have to unwillingly surrender their gold to you. So whenever it rained, I would look up in the sky and follow the curve of the rainbow to see where it ended. I never did unearth any treasure, but I did spend many happy, showery days dreaming of what I could do with the fortune ifI found it.(3)As I got older, and started working, rainy days came to be just another nuisance and my childhood dreams of finding treasure faded. But for some people the dream of striking it lucky never fades, and for a fortunate few, the dream even comes true! Such is the case of Mel Fisher. His dream of finding treasure also began in childhood, while reading the great literature classics “Treasure Island” and “Moby Dick”. However, unlike me, he chased his dream and in the end managed to become one of the most famous professional treasure hunters of all time, and for good reason. In 1985, he fished up the priceless cargo of the sunken Spanish ship Atocha, which netted him an incredible 400 million dollars!(4)After the ship sank in 1622 off the coast of Florida, its murky waters became a treasure-trove (埋藏的宝藏)of precious stones, gold bars and silver coins known as “pieces of eight”. The aptly-named Fisher, who ran a commercial salvaging operation, had been trying to locate the underwater treasure for over 16 years when he finally hit the jackpot! His dreams had come true but finding and keeping the treasure wasn’t all plain sailing. After battling with hostile conditions at sea, Fisher then had to battle in the courts. In fact, the State of Florida took Fisher to court over ownership of the find and the Federal government soon followed suit. After more than 200 hearings, Fisher agreed to donate 20% of his findings for public display, and so now there is a museum in Florida which displays hundreds of the objects which were salvaged from the Atocha.(5)This true story seems like a modern-day fairytale: a man pursues his dream through hardship and in the end, he triumphs over the difficulties—they all live happily ever after, right? Well, not exactly. Archaeologists object to the fact that with commercial salvaging operations like Fisher’s, the objects are sold and dispersed, and UNESCO are also worried about protecting our underwater heritage from what it describes as “pillaging”(抢劫、掠夺).(6)The counter-argument is that in professional, well-run ope rations such as Fisher’s, each piece is accurately and minutely recorded and that it is this information which is more important than the actual object, and that such operations help increase our wealth of archaeological knowledge.indeed, as in Fisher’s ca se, they make history more accessible to people through museum donations and information on web sites.(7)The distinction of whether these treasure hunters are salvaging or pillaging our underwater heritage may not be clear, but what is clear is that treasure hunting is not just innocent child’s play anymore but profitable big business. I have learnt that the end of the rainbow is beyond my reach, but in consolation, with just a click of the mouse, I too can have a share in the riches that the Atocha has revealed. As Friedrich Nietzsche so wisely said: “Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge.”41.In Para. 4, the phrase “hit the jackpot” means according to the context.[A]discovered the jackpot [B] found the treasure[C] broke one of the objects [D] ran a salvaging operation42.It can be concluded from Paras. 5 and 6 that .[A]UNESCO’s view is different from archaeologists’[B]all salvaging operations should be prohibited[C]attention should be paid to the find’s educational value[D]people hold entirely different views on the issue43.How did the author feel about the treasure from the Atocha (Para. 7)?[A]She was glad that people can have a chance to see the treasure.[B]She was sad that she was unable to discover and salvage treasure.[C]She was angry that treasure hunters were pillaging heritage.[D]She was unconcerned about where the treasure came from.PASSAGE TWO(1)Paul was dissatisfied with himself and with everything. The deepest of his love belonged to his mother. When he felt he had hurt her, or wounded his love for her, he could not bear it. Now it was spring and there was battle between him and Miriam, his girlfriend. This year he had a good deal against her. She was vaguely aware of it. The old feeling that she was to be sacrifice to this love, which she had had when she prayed, was mingled in all her emotions. She did not at the bottom believe she ever would have him. She did not believe in herself primarily: doubted whether she could ever be what he would demand of her. Certainly she never saw herself living happily through a lifetime with him. She saw tragedy, sorrow, and sacrifice ahead. And in sacrifice she was proud, in renunciation she was strong, for she did not trust herself to support everyday life. She was prepared for the big things and the deep things, like tragedy. It was the sufficiency of the small day-life she could not trust.(2)The Easter holidays began happily. Paul was his own frank self. Yet she felt it would go wrong. On the Sunday afternoon she stood at her bedroom window, looking across at the oak trees of the wood, in whose branches a twilight was tangled, below the bright sky of the afternoon. Grey-green rosettes of honeysuckle leaves hung before the window, some already, she fancied, showing bud. It was spring, which she loved and dreaded.(3)Hearing the clack of the gate she stood in suspense. It was a bright grey day. Paul came into the yard with his bicycle, which glittered as he walked. Usually he rang his bell and laughed towards the house. Today he walked with shut lips and cold, cruel bearing,that had something of a slouch and a sneer in it. She knew him well by now, and could tell from keen-looking what was happening inside him. There was a cold correctness in the way he put his bicycle in its place, that made her heart sink.(4)She came downstairs nervously. She was wearing a new net blouse that she thought became her. It had a high collar with a tiny ruff, making her, she thought, look wonderfully a woman, and dignified. At twenty she was full-breasted and luxuriously formed. Her face was still like a soft rich mask, unchangeable. But her eyes, once lifted, were wonderful. She was afraid of him. He would notice her new blouse.(5)He, being in a hard, ironical mood, was entertaining the family to a description of a service given in the Primitive Methodist Chapel. He sat at the head of the table, his mobile face, with the eyes that could be so beautiful, shining with tenderness or dancing with laughter, now taking on one expression and then another, in imitation of various people he was mocking. His mockery always hurt her; it was too near the reality. He was too clever and cruel. She felt that when his eyes were like this, hard with mocking hate, he would spare neither himself nor anybody else. But Miriam’s mother was wiping her eyes with laughter, and her father, just awake from his Sunday nap, was rubbing his head in amusement. The three brothers sat with ruffled, sleepy appearance in their shirt-sleeves, giving a guffaw from time to time. The whole family loved a “take-off” more than anything.44.It can be learned from the beginning that Miriam’s attitude towards love between her and P aul is .[A]indifferent [B] desperate [C] pessimistic [D] ambiguous45.The narration in Para. 3 tells us that Miriam had all the following feelings EXCEPT .[A]delight [B] expectation [C] uncertainty [D] foreboding46.Which of the following statements is CORRECT about the family’s response to Paul’s mockery?[A]Only the parents found it entertaining. [B] Every member except Miriam was amused.[C]The brothers found it hard to appreciate. [D] Miriam also thought it was amusing.PASSAGE THREE(1)I’ve written this article and you’re reading it. So we are members of the same club. We’re both literate—we can read and write. And we both probably feel that literacy is essential to our lives. But millions of people all over the world are illiterate. Even in industrialised Western countries, such as the UK and the the USA, approximately 20% of the population have “low literacy levels”. But what exactly does that mean?(2)My parents both left school at 14. They could read and write, but except for a quick look at the daily newspaper, reading and writing didn’t play a big part in their lives. There were very few books in the house. My mother was amazed because the woman who lived next door always wrote a list of what she needed before she went to the supermarket. Why couldn’t she remember? We laughed about that for weeks. Our family didn’t write lists! And when I was only 14 years old my father gave me an important letter th at he’d written to the bank and asked me to check it for grammar and spelling mistakes. And there were quite a lot. He never usually wrote letters or postcards or even Christmas cards. So when he had to write he wasn’t comfortable or confident. Does that m ean that my father had a “low level of literacy”? I don’t think so.(3)There are lots of different definitions of literacy. Some experts define it as having the reading and writing skills that you need to be independent in your everyday life. So, for example, if you can read instructions, write a cheque, fill in a form—anything that you need to do in everyday life—then you are “functionally literate”.(4)Other people say that you are illiterate if you think that you are illiterate. In other words, if you feel that you can’t read or write as well as you would like to.(5)If you live in a society where most people are literate, then you will feel ashamed or embarrassed and avoid situations in which you have to read or write. The father of a friend of mine finally admitted to his family that he couldn’t read when he was 45 years old. He bought the newspaper every day and pretended to read it —and believe it or not, his family had no idea.(6)We often forget that writing is a recent invention. Many years ago, the word “literate” meant being able to communicate well in speaking, in other words what we now call “articulate”. Story telling was an important activity in the past and still is today in some societies. Reading was often a co-operative activity—someone would read aloud to a group, often from a religious text such as the Koran or the Bible.(7)Only a hundred years ago, in the United States, you were considered to be literate if you could sign your name to a piece of paper. It was an important skill. You were not allowed to vote if you couldn’t sign the voting register, so literacy was connected with political rights, and many people were excluded from the democratic process.(8)Nowadays we see reading and writing as being connected, but that wasn’t so in the past. Many people could read, but not write. Writing was a skilled profession. If you needed something written then you paid an expert to write it for you.(9)And of course, rich and important people have always employed people to write things for them. Important company bosses dictated letters to their secretaries or personal assistants. And now with new computer software you can dictate directly to your computer.(10)Being illiterate can have a big effect on people’s lives. For example, a study in the UK showed that people who write and spell badly are seen as careless, immature and unreliable, and often unintelligent. So it is more difficult for them to find jobs, even when reading and writing are not necessary for the work.(11)World wide statistics show that literacy problems are associated with poverty and a lack of political power. More women than men are illiterate. Illiterate people have worse health, bigger families and are more likely to go to prison. So literacy campaigns must be a good thing. But don’t forget that an illiterate person, or someone with a low le vel o literacy, isn’t necessarily stupid or ignorant, and may not be unhappy at all. Knowledge and wisdom isn’t only found in writing.47.Why does the author give two examples in Para.2?[A]To show that literacy is interpreted in different ways.[B]To show that Father was more literate than Mother.[C]To indicate how important reading and writing are.[D]To compare the level of literacy between neighbours.48.According to the author, the following are some of the defining features of literacy EXCEPT .[A]psychological [B] functional [C] social [D] independent49.Which of the following statements about reading and writing is CORRECT?[A]Reading and writing have always been regarded as equally difficult.[B]People had to read and write well in order to be allowed to vote.[C]Reading often requires more immediate interaction than writing.[D]Reading and writing have always been viewed as being connected.50.What do the last two paragraphs mainly focus on (Paras. 10 and 10)?[A]Effects of illiteracy and employment problems.[B]Effects of illiteracy and associated problems.[C]Effects of illiteracy on one’s personality development.[D]Effects of illiteracy on women’s career development.SECTION B SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONSIn this section there are five short answer questions based on the passages in Section A. Answer the questions with NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS in the space provided on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONE51.What does This in Para. 2 refer to?52.Why did Fisher have to battle in the courts after he found the treasure (Para. 4)?PASSAGE TWO53.Why did Miriam wear a new net blouse on Sunday afternoon?54.What is the meaning of the sentence “...he would spare neither himself nor anybody else” in Para. 5?PASSAGE THREE55.Explain the meaning of the last sentence of Para. 11 according to the context.PART ⅥWRITING [45MIN]Read carefully the following report and then write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 WORDS, in which you should:1)summarize the main message of the excerpt, and then2)comment on whether our brains will get lazy in a world run by intelligent machinesYou can support yourself with information from the excerpt.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.With Intelligent Machines to Do the Thinking, Will Our Brains Get Lazy?Changing technology stimulates the brain and increases intelligence. But that may only be true if the technology challenges us. In a world run by intelligent machines, our lives could get a lot simpler. Would that make us less intelligent?Artificial intelligence is taking over many human jobs. For instance, planes are being flown much of the time by automatic pilots. And the complex problem of controlling air traffic around large modern airports is also achieved by artificial intelligence that operates well beyond the capability of mere human air traffic controllers.Artificial intelligence is embedded in many features of modern life for the simple reason that intelligent machines can already outperform humans, including some aptitudes where there was once thought to be a human advantage, such as playing chess, and writing poetry, or even novels.As machines get smarter, they will do more of our thinking for us and make life easier. In the future, the electronic assistant will develop to the point that it serves similar functions as a real living butler, fulfilling requests such as: “Organize a dinner party for six on Thursday, Jeeves, and invite the usual guests.”At that point, our long struggle with challenging technologies is at an end. Like Bertie Wooster, we can take it easy knowing that the hard work of planning and organizing is being done by a better brain —the electronic assistant. Starved of mental effort, our brains will regress.Write your response on ANSWER SHEET THREE.—THE END—PART ⅡLISTENING COMPRENSIONSECTION A TALK下列各题必须使用黑色字迹签字笔在答题区域内作答,超出红色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效。

2017年12月(卷一)华山位于华阴市,据西安120公里。

华山是秦岭的一部分,秦岭不仅分割陕南与陕北,也分隔华南与华北。

与从前人们常去朝拜的泰山不同,华山过去很少有人光临,因为上山的道路极其危险。

然而,希望长寿大人却经常上山,因为山上生长着许多草药,特别是一些稀有的草药。

自上世纪90年代安装缆车以来,参观人数大大增加。

Huashan(Mount Hua) is situated in Huayin City, 120 kilometers away from Xi'an. It is part of the Qinling Mountains, which divides not only Southern and Northern Shaanxi, but also South and North China. Unlike Taishan, which became a popular place of pilgrimage, Huashan was not well visited in the past because it is dangerous for the climbers to reach its summit. Huashan was also an important place frequented by immortality seekers, as many herbs grow there especially some rare ones. Since the installation of the cable cars in the 1990s, the number of visitors has increased significantly.(卷二)泰山位于山东省西部。

海拔1500余米,方圆约400平方公里。

泰山不仅雄伟壮观,而且是一座历史文化名山,过去3000多年一直是人们前往朝拜的地方。

相⽐之下,参考译⽂则给⼈⼀种美感,散发出浓郁的英语味。

原因很简单,参考译⽂选对了英译之“主⼲” (my parents gave a banquet in the garden)。

2017年专业英语四级翻译模拟试题及答
案:西安
请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
西安
古都西安,一颗闪烁着古代文明和高科技之光的历史文化名城。

西安古名长安,是世界四大古都之一。

踏上这古老的黄土地,无处不在的是千古文人(literati) 名士(people with literary reputation) 传诵于世的古风古韵。

历史文化的沉积,造就了一个的旅游城市。

西安,这座让游人流连忘返的城市,在很久以前就享有“通史博物馆(General History Museum ) ”的美誉。

参考翻译:
Xi'a n
An cie nt capital Xi'a n is a no ted historic and cultural city shi ning the light of an cie nt civilizatio n and high tech no logy. Xi'an , once called Chang'an, is one of the four ancient capitals of the world. Sett ing foot on this an cie nt gro und, you can feel
ancient customs and rhymes everywhere, which have been widely read by literati and people with literary reputati on for thousa nds of years. This famous tourism city is created by the sediment of historical culture. Xi'an , a city that let people linger on with no thought of leaving has long enjoyed the good name of the “General History Museum ” .
1. 历史文化名城:翻译为a noted historic and cultural city 。

2. 黄土地:直接翻译成ground即可,不必直译。

3. 古风古韵:古风指“古代的风俗习惯”,古韵指“古代的音韵”,故可译为ancient customs and rhyme 。

该词组所处句子缺少主语,在翻译时需增译主语。

4. 流连忘返:可译为to have much enjoyment and forget to go back home 或者to linger on with no thought of leaving, linger on 意为“徘徊;流连”。

5. 历史文化的沉积:可译为sediment of historical culture。

sediment 意为“沉积”。
