Away from Home
Cristobal Martin was born in Granada, Spain, 38 years ago. Granada is the most beautiful city
in the world, says Mr. Martin. Its sun is warm and its air is clear. Today, Mr. Martin works
in Germany, where the weather is often cold and rainy. But in Germany, he works in a factory and makes a much better pay. In Granada, there is very little industry. I was only a farm worker. When the German company came and offered me a job, I took it right away. Mr. Martin works in
a chemical factory. He works from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. From 10:00 pm to 1:00 am, he has another jo
b cleaning out the office of a doctor in his neighborhood.
Mr. Martin does not speak much German. I wish I had time to go to school and learn more. It would be easier to tive here. I have sat with the same men at lunch every day for four years, and we never talk to each other. They think of me as a
oreigner, he says.
After work, Mr. Martin rides home on the bicycle he brought with him from Spain. I live in a
small room that I don like very much. But I know that a better room is not why I came to Germany. Mr. Martin hopes that in two years he will have enough money to return home. I want to open up
a small shop, find a wife, and have a satisfactory life for me and my family.
Mr. Martin lives in a neighborhood with Italians and Spanish people. We think alike, he says,
and we don mind the noise of the wives and children that the Germans complain about. I am thankful
for the jobs Germany has given me. But Germany is not the proper place for me. It is not my 潨敭尮（分数：10.00）

Mysteries of the Sea
The sea is the largest unknown part of our world. Much of this vast blanket of water is still
to be discovered.
Luckily, no single nation has to learn all about the ocean by itself. The world sea is owned by
no one; it surrounds the earth and belongs to us all. Scientists in many different countries are working to explain its mysteries.
Some are studying ways of bringing the oceans huge supply of water to the deserts of the world. Others are studying the ways in which sound travels and is affected by water and heat. What happens when sea water touches different elements(元素) is another subject of study. These are just a
few of the questions which ocean scientists are working on.
) is the work of mapping the ocean
海洋学One of the most interesting projects in oceanography(
floor. Only a very small part of it has been mapped. This was not important when only surface
ships sailed the worlds oceans, but it can mean the difference between life and death to men
in ships going underwater.
Long ago there was only one way to find out how deep the ocean was. A seaman would throw a heavy rope over the side of his ship. Then he pulled the rope up after it had reached the bottom. But
this was not a very accurate way of measuring.
In the 20th century, a better way was found. Sound was used to measure the ocean. An American
Navy ship sailed into a narrow area of water to do an experiment. Seamen dropped some equipment
that would produce a loud noise when it hit the bottom. And a little instrument measured the time
it took for the sound to reach the ship. This has helped scientists map the ocean floor.（分数：10.00）

三、第三部分：概括段落大意和补全句子(总题数：2，分数：10.00)
Research Is a State of Mind
① For many years, there has been much misunderstanding as to just what research is. The popular
belief seems to be that there is something mysterious(神秘的) about it and every research requires expensive scientific equipment. Actually, this is not so. Research isn a physical thing at all;
its a state of mind. It is a simple, organized way of trying to accomplish something you wish
to do.
② You start by selecting the problem you would like to solve, and then you list at least ten
reasons why it has not been solved. But in selecting the problem, you need to be sure that it
is worth the effort. Remember, it takes just as much effort to solve a useless problem as a useful one.
③ After carefully selecting the problem and the ten things between you and the solution, you
then use the same procedure as in solving a crossword puzzle(填字游戏). You start with the less serious difficulties, and eventually you arrive at the one or two major ones. In the solution
of the remaining difficulties, you may need some simple equipment, but what you need most is patience. Few people realize how hard it is to do anything new.
④ Maybe one of the reasons people are so easily discouraged is because of their education. During
all our years at school, we were examined two or three times a year. If we failed once, we were
out. However, all research work is 99.9% failure and, if we succeed once, we are in. If we are
going to make progress, we must learn to fail intelligently so that we won become discouraged
at the 99.9% failure.
A. The first step of research
B. The true nature of research
C. Combining research with education

Many Ways of Life
All over the world, people do many of the same things necessary in order to live, yet in different ways.
Along the Amazon River, people live in river houses. Many South American Indians live in grass
huts, and Eskimos may live in snow houses. You may be living in an apartment building several
stories high. 1
People live in different places, and they eat different foods. 2 For instance, sea spiders (蜘蛛) are caught for food in Japan. You may have eaten a sea spider, too, in the form of a seafood
cold dish. In the United States, you may buy your lunch from a hotdog stand. 3 But there, a native
seller may sell you a hotdog that is actually a piece of dog meat.
4 Yet the Indians there have found a way to take the poison out from the plant and use the plant
to make flour. From the flour, they make the bread, which is the major food all over South America. Much of the food you eat probably comes from your local supermarket. 5 But an Indonesian on the
island of Bali may wait much longer for a meal. There, a sticky (粘性的) liquid is spread on the
end of a long pole. Then it is held up in the air until dragonflies (蜻蜓) come along and are
stuck in the sticky liquid. In this way, a meal is done.
A. And much of that may need only to be heated before it is ready to eat.
B. Yet sometimes, they may eat the same foods.
C. In South America, there is a very poisonous plant.
D. You may have eaten some of the food yourself.

2015考研英语翻译真题解析
Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration—one of the great folk wanderings of history—swept from Europe to America. 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe. Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world. 48) But, the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible. But the result was a new social pattern which, although it resembled European society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American. 49) The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the 15th- and 16th-century explorations of North America. In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. During their six- to twelve-week voyage, they subsisted on barely enough food allotted to them. Many of the ship were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease, and infants rarely survived the journey. Sometimes storms blew the vessels far off their course, and often calm brought unbearably long delay. “To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brou ght almost inexpressible relief.” said one recorder of events, “The air at twelve leagues’ distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.” The colonists’ first glimpse of the new land was a sight of dense woods. 50) The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a veritable real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia. Here was abundant fuel and lumber. Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores. 思路： 1.大致介绍文章主要内容 2. 逐段介绍每段的主要内容→分析句子结构→指出翻译时需要注意的点→试译→整理译文→总结翻译技巧和需掌握的单词

2 015年6月13日全国大学英语四级翻译真题及答案 大米 在西方人心目中，和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来，大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位，以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多数种植水稻，人们通常以大米为食；而华北大部分地区因为过于寒冷或过于干燥，无法种植水稻，那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国，有些人用面粉做面包，但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。 In the mind of Westerners,Chinese people have the closest connection to rice,basic food for the Chinese.For a long time,rice occupies a very important position in the Chinese diet.There is even a saying that "even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice".People in south China plant and live on rice,while people in the most parts of North China cannot plant rice due to excessively dry and cold weather. The main crop there is wheat.

This is largely attributed to feelings of Taoism to the nature. There are two most popular themes in traditional Chinese paintings. One is various scenes of happy family life with the elderly drinking teas and playing chess, men plowing and harvesting, women sewing and weaving, or children playing outdoors. The other is a variety of fun in rural life with a fisherman fishing on the lake, farmers cutting firewood or collecting medicinal herbs, scholars reciting poems or painting pictures under a pine tree.

2015年考研英语一翻译真题解析
2015年考研英语一翻译真题解析 一、来源：今年的文章来源于An outline of American history(1954)(《美国历史纲要(1954年英文版)》)，是其中一章The Colonial Period(殖民时期)的节选。这个符合历年来翻译的考查规律，往往都是从书籍中节选段落进行翻译，内容相对于阅读而言，相对于2014年“贝多芬”而言，有些难懂。 二、难度：5句话共151词，相当平稳。其中48题最长，35词;50题最简单，24词。可以说，不同基础的同学都可以从中找到自己熟悉的部分，不至于在这个题上一分未得。 三、句型特点：今年的5句话中，有2句(46，48)是简单句，另外3句(47，49，50)是复合句。其中的复合句无一例外都考查的是定语从句的翻译，并没有涉及到其他从句类型。简单句中考查最多的也是后置定语的翻译。所以，中公考研考前为大家预测的难点中，定语的翻译是绝对考点和重点。 四、逐题详解： 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 重点词组：out of a wilderness(摆脱荒凉)，by its nature(就其本质而言，从本质来说)，uncharted(未知的;图上未标明的)。 结构分析：整个句子是一个简单句，由and并列谓语动词built和shaped。driven by powerful and diverse motivations是后置定语，修饰movement;out of a wilderness是后置定语，修饰nation;of an uncharted continent是后置定语，修饰character and destiny。 参考译文：这项运动，由多种强大的动机驱动，建立了一个摆脱荒凉的国家，并且从本质上来讲，塑造了一块不为人熟悉的大陆的性格和命运。 47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. 重点词组：product(产物)，principal(主要的;首要的)，peoples(民族)，impact(影响) 结构分析：句子的主干是The United States is the product of two principal forces，破折号解释说明forces。of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics是后置定语，修饰immigration;of a new country which modified these traits是后置定语，修饰impact，其中包含一个定语从句which modified these traits，修饰country。 参考译文：美国是两股主要力量的产物——带有不同思想、风俗习惯和国家特征的欧洲民族的移民，和修改这些特征的新兴国家的影响。 48) But the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the carried national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. 重点词组：peculiar(特有的，独特的)，interplay(互相影响)，sheer(独特的) 结构分析：整个句子是简单句，主语由三个名词短语用and并列承担，谓宾部分比较短小caused significant changes。主语1中，of geographic conditions peculiar to America是后置
