Directions: In this part of the test, there is one English passage. Read it carefully and translate it into Chinese. (60 points)Last year, when my book of short fictions, Foreign Soil, was released in the United Kingdom, I found myself on the phone with BBC radio, doing a pre-interview. At the end of our lively and in-depth conversation, the producer asked: “So who are the other Australian writers of Afro-Caribbean descent, or from a similar background, who are working in literary fiction—what novels should we be looking out for?” I paused. “There are...well, there are som e African diaspora (离散移民社群)and African Australian writers I know who work in a lot of different forms, who I really hope you’ll also see on the shelf one day...” I stammered. “Natasha Jynel. Candy Bowers.”When I finished the call, I hung up the phone and sat slumped in a kitchen chair for about half an hour. The comradery and support amongst Australian writers from all walks of life on the book trail can be extraordinary, but it can be bitterlyisolating on the road sometimes, not seeing a single face like your own.I love what I do, but there’s also deliberating heartache to being a more-than-third-culture-kid, in a country where the subtleties of identity are often lost.I was born in Sydney, Australia—and have lived here all my life. My mother and father both grew up in London from the age of four or five, but were born in Guyana and Jamaica, respectively. Mine is a complex migration history that spans four continents and many hundreds of years: a history that involves loss of land, loss of agency, loss of language, and loss, transformation, and reclamation of culture.Before being “settled” by the British in the 1700s, the country I live on was forcefully and unlawfully taken from the Australia’s First Peoples. Like other non-Aboriginal Australians, my migrant history forms part of the colonial history of this land: I am settler black, rather than Indigenous (本土的)black. As an emerging writer, writing to this complexity of identity seemed virtually impossible. Though Australian-born, I didn’t feel Australia n enough to write “Australian” stories. Though my parents were migrants, I wasn’t a migrant myself and felt migration stories didn’t belong to me. I wondered about writing African diaspora fictions, when I was so many generations removed from the African continent.【参考译文】去年,我的短篇小说《异乡土壤》在英国发行,BBC电台便与我通话,进行初采访。

2018年全国硕士研究生考试英语二阅读翻译

2018年全国硕士研究生考试英语二阅读翻译全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Translating the Reading Passage on the Big TestHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to tell you all about this really hard reading passage I had to translate for a big important test. It was the English test for adults who want to go to master's degree programs in China. Even though I'm just a kid, I thought it would be fun to try translating the passage myself! Let me tell you, it wasn't easy at all.The passage was about 800 words long, which is super duper long for a little kid like me. The topic was something called "inclusive urban development." I had never even heard those words before! From what I could understand, it was talking about how cities need to have housing, transportation, and outdoor spaces that are accessible and affordable for everyone, not just rich people. The reading mentioned a lot of big concepts that went over my head, like "urban equity" and "spatial inequality."One of the hardest parts was all the complicated vocabulary. There were so many words I didn't know, like "prosperity," "revitalization," and "marginalized." I had to look up almost every other word in the dictionary! My little dictionary was working overtime. I also struggled with understanding all the long, fancy sentences with tons of clauses and big words. Some paragraphs I could barely make sense of at all.But I didn't give up! I read through it very slowly, taking breaks when my brain got too tired. I made sure to underline any words I wasn't sure about so I could ask my mom for help later. She knows lots of big vocabulary! Whenever there was a sentence I just could not wrap my head around, I broke it down into little pieces to try and understand it bit by bit.After many hours of hard work over a few days, I finally finished my translation. I worked so hard on it! I triple checked to make sure I understood everything as best as I could. Parts of my translation might still be a little off since there was so much complex content. But I gave it my absolute best effort.When I showed my mom, she was really impressed that I had tackled such a difficult passage meant for adult students. She said my translation was quite good, especially for a 10-year-old! We celebrated with ice cream after. Even though it was incrediblychallenging, I felt very proud of myself for not giving up. I proved that with perseverance, I can take on any reading no matter how hard!Translating that crazy passage made me feel like a brilliant master's degree student, even if I'm still just a kid. It opened my eyes to how skilled you have to be with English to get into elite grad programs in China. I have a new appreciation for how truly difficult that entrance exam must be. Kudos to anyone who can ace it!While I may be years away from applying to master's programs myself, this experience showed me that I shouldn't underestimate my abilities. If I keep studying hard, learning lots of vocabulary, and taking on tough challenges, I can become a translation superstar! Who knows, maybe I'll be a famous translator when I grow up. For now, I'll stick to kid-level readings. But that passage has motivated me to keep improving my English every day.So that's my story of tackling an intense, way-too-advanced reading passage about urban issues. I transformed from a clueless kid to a hardy translator in just a few days! It was an awesome, rewarding challenge that expanded my skills andmindset. I'm proud of the work I did, and excited to keep learning. Thanks for listening, reading buddies!篇2My Big Translation AdventureHi there! My name is Lily and I'm 8 years old. Today I'm going to tell you all about the super cool translation project I did recently. It was really hard but also a lot of fun!A few weeks ago, my mom came home from work looking really stressed out. She's studying to take a big important test called the National Postgraduate Entrance Exam so she can go to graduate school. This test has all sorts of subjects like math, writing, and reading comprehension.The reading part had some long passages in English that she needed to translate into Chinese. That's where I came in! My English is really good because I've been practicing a lot. My mom asked if I could help her by translating the reading passages from English to Chinese. At first I thought it would be a piece of cake. But boy was I wrong!The passages were super long and had all these big fancy words I'd never heard before. Words like "ambivalent" and"pragmatism." There was no way I could just read through and understand it all. So I had to break it down, section by section.I started by reading through slowly and circling any words I didn't know. Then I looked them up in the dictionary my teacher gave me. Thanks Mrs. Robertson! After that, I tried to get the main idea of each paragraph. I'd summarize it in my own words to make sure I wasn't missing anything important.Some paragraphs took me forever to figure out. I'd have to read them over and over until finally the lightbulb went off in my head. "Ohhhhh, now I get it!" I'd shout. Then I could accurately translate it into Chinese for my mom.There were a few times I got really frustrated and felt like giving up. But my mom wouldn't let me quit. She said consistency and perseverance were important. So I just powered through the hard parts until the passage was all translated.By the time I finished, I was absolutely exhausted! Who knew translating could be so tiring? But I also felt really proud of myself for not giving up. My mom was super impressed too. She gave me the biggest hug and took me out for pizza to celebrate.Translating those reading passages was definitely one of the biggest challenges I've ever faced. But I didn't let it knock medown. With hard work, I powered through and made it to the end. I'm really glad I could help my mom out. Maybe I'll become a translator when I grow up!Well, that's the story of my big translation adventure. It was an epic journey for sure. Hopefully you learned a bit about pushing through challenges and not giving up. Thanks for reading, guys! Talk to you next time.篇3The Big Test for Grown-Up SchoolHi! My name is Lily and I'm 8 years old. Today I'm going to tell you all about a super tough test that kids way older than me have to take if they want to go to a really advanced school called grad school. It's called the master's degree entrance exam and it has a really hard section on reading English stories and translating them into Chinese. I'm pretending I took this part of the test myself so you can see how crazy difficult it is!The first English story was about some scientists who went to study penguins in Antarctica. It talked about how penguins huddle together when it's cold to share their body heat. But if a penguin tries to move closer to the middle of the group, the other penguins pecked at it until it moved back to the outside.Isn't that mean? The story said this helps the group stay together and survive but I still felt bad for the poor penguin who got pecked. To translate it to Chinese I'd say "那些企鹅拥挤在一起,分享体温。

Reading comprehension (40’)Section 1 multiple choice (20’)Directions: In this section there are reading passages followed by multiple-choice questions. Read the passages and then mark your answers on your answer sheet.Passage AThe Welsh language has always been the ultimate marker of Welsh identity, but a generation ago it looked as if Welsh would go the way of Manx, once widely spoken on the Isle of Man but now extinct. Governments financing and central planning, however, have helped reverse the decline of Welsh. Road signs and official public documents are written in both Welsh and English, and schoolchildren are required to learn both languages. Welsh is now one of the most successful of Europe’s regional languages, spoken by more than a half-million of the country’s three million people.The revival of the language, particularly among young people, is part of a resurgence of national identity sweeping through this small, proud nation. Last month Wales marked the second anniversary of the opening of the National Assembly, the first parliament to be convened here since 1404. The idea behind devolution was to restore the balance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom. With most of the people and wealth, England has always hadbragging rights. The partial transfer of legislative powers from Westminster, implemented by Tony Blair, was designed to give the other members of the club—Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales—a bigger say and to counter centrifugal forces that seemed to threaten the very idea of the union.The Welsh showed little enthusiasm for devolution. Whereas the Scots voted overwhelmingly for a parliament, the vote for a Welsh assembly scraped through by less than one percent on a turnout of less than 25 percent. Its powers were proportionately limited. The Assembly can decide how money from Westminster or the European Union is spent. It cannot, unlike its counterpart in Edinburgh, enact laws. But now that it is here, the Welsh are growing to like their Assembly. Many people would like it to have more powers. Its importance as figurehead will grow with the opening in 2003, of a new debating chamber, one of many new buildings that are transforming Cardiff from a decaying seaport into a Baltimore-style waterfront city. Meanwhile a grant of nearly two million dollars from the European Union will tackle poverty. Wales is one of the poorest regions in Western Europe—only Spain, Portugal, and Greece have a lower standard of living.Newspapers and magazines are filled with stories about great Welsh men and women, boosting self-esteem. To familiar faces such as Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton have been added new icons such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, the movie star, and Bryn Terfel, the opera singer. Indigenous foods like salt marsh lamb are in vogue. And Wales now boasts a national airline, Awyr Cymru. Cymru, which means “land of compatriots”, is the Welsh name for Wales. The red dragon, the nati on’s symbol since the time of King Arthur, is everywhere—on T-shirts, rugby jerseys and even cell phone covers.“Until very recent times most Welsh people had this feeling of being second-class citizens,” said Dyfan Jones, an 18-year-old student. It was a warm summer night, and I was sitting on the grass with a group of young people in Llanelli, an industrial town in the south, outside the rock music venue of the National Eisteddfod, Wales’s annual cultural festival. The disused factory in front of us echoed to the sounds of new Welsh bands.“There was almost a genetic tendency for lack of confidence,” Dyfan continued. Equally comfortable in his Welshness as in his membership in the English-speaking, global youth culture and the new federal Europe, Dyfan, like the rest of his generation, is growing up with a sense of possibility unimaginable ten years ago. “We used to think. We can’t do anything, we’re only Welsh. Now I think that’s changing.”1. According to the passage, devolution was mainly meant toA. maintain the present status among the nations.B. reduce legislative powers of England.C. create a better state of equality among the nations.D. grant more say to all the nations in the union.2. The word “centrifugal” in the second paragraph meansA. separatist.B. conventional.C. feudal.D. political3. Wales is different from Scotland in all the following aspects EXCEPTA. people’s desire for devolution.B. locals’ turnout for the voting.C. powers of the legislative body.D. status of the national language.4. Which of the following is NOT cited as an example of the resurgence of Welsh national identity?A. Welsh has witnessed a revival as a national language.B. Poverty-relief funds have come from the European Union.C. A Welsh national airline is currently in operation.D. The national symbol has become a familiar sight.5. According to Dyfan Jones what has changed isA. people’s mentality.B. pop culture.C. town’s appearance.D. possibilities for the people.Passage BThe miserable fate of Enron’s employees will be a landmark in business history, one of those awful events that everyone agrees must never be allowed to happen again. This urge is understandable and noble: thousands have lost virtually all their retirement savings with the demise of Enron stock. But making sure it never happens again may not be possible, because the sudden impoverishment of those Enron workers represents something even larger than it seems. It’s the latest turn in the unwinding of one of the most audacious promises of the 20th century.The promise was assured economic security—even comfort—for essentially everyone in the developed world. With the explosion of wealth, that began in the 19th century it became possible to think about a possibility no one had dared to dream before. The fear at the center of daily living since caveman days—lack of food, warmth, shelter—would at last lose its power to terrify. That remarkable promise became reality in many ways. Governments created welfare systems for anyone in need and separate programs for the elderly (Social Security in the U.S.). Labor unions promised not only better pay for workers but also pensions for retirees. Giant corporations came into being and offered the possibility—in some cases the promise—of lifetime employment plus guaranteed pensions? The cumulative effect was a fundamental change in how millions of people approached life itself, a reversal of attitude that most rank as one of the largest in human history. For millennia the average person’s stance toward providing for himself had been. Ultimately I’m on my own. Now it became, ultimately I’ll be taken care of.The early hints that this promise might be broken on a large scale came in the 1980s. U.S. business had become uncompetitive globally and began restructuring massively, with huge Layoffs. The trend accelerated in the 1990s as the bastions of corporate welfare faced reality. IBM ended its no-layoff policy. AT&T fired thousands, many of whom found such a thing simply incomprehensible, and a few of whom killed themselves. The other supposed guarantors of our economic security were also in decline. Labor-union membership and power fell to their lowest levels in decades. President Clinton signed a historic bill scaling back welfare. Americans realized that Socia l Security won’t provide social security for any of us.A less visible but equally significant trend affected pensions. To make costs easier to control, companies moved away from defined benefit pension plans, which obligate them to pay out specified amounts years in the future, to defined contribution plans, which specify only how much goes into the play today. The most common type of defined-contribution plan is the 401(k). the significance of the 401(k) is that it puts most of the responsibility for a pe rson’s economic fate back on the employee. Within limits the employee must decide how much goes into the plan each year and how it gets invested—the two factors that will determine how much it’s worth when the employee retires.Which brings us back to Enron? Those billions of dollars in vaporized retirement savings went in employees’ 401(k) accounts. That is, the employees chose how much money to put into those accounts and then chose how to invest it. Enron matched a certain proportion of each employee’s 401(k) contribution with company stock, so everyone was going to end up with some Enron in his or her portfolio; but that could be regarded as a freebie, since nothing compels a company to match employee contributions at all. At least two special features complicate the Enron case. First, some shareholders charge top management with illegally covering up the company’s problems, prompting investors to hang on when they should have sold. Second, Enron’s 401(k) accounts were locked while the company changed pla n administrators in October, when the stock was falling, so employees could not have closed their accounts if they wanted to.But by far the largest cause of this human tragedy is that thousands of employees were heavily overweighed in Enron stock. Many had placed 100% of their 401(k) assets in the stock rather than in the 18 other investment options they were offered. Of course that wasn’t prudent, but it’s what some of them did.The Enron employees’ retirement disaster is part of the larger trend away fro m guaranteed economic security. That’s why preventing such a thing from ever happening again may be impossible. The huge attitudinal shift to I’ll-be-taken-care-of took at least a generation. The shift back may take just as long. It won’t be complete until a new generation of employees see assured economic comfort as a 20th-century quirk, and understand not just intellectually but in their bones that, like most people in most times and places, they’re on their own.6. Why does the author say at the beginnin g “The miserable fate of Enron’s employees will be a landmark in business history…”?A. Because the company has gone bankrupt.B. Because such events would never happen again.C. Because many Enron workers lost their retirement savings.D. Because it signifies a turning point in economic security.7. According to the passage, the combined efforts by governments, layout unions and big corporations to guarantee economic comfort have led to a significant change inA. people’s outlook on life.B. people’s life styles.C. people’s living standard.D. people’s social values.8. Changes in pension schemes were also part ofA. the corporate lay-offs.B. the government cuts in welfare spending.C. the economic restructuring.D. the warning power of labors unions.9. Thousands of employees chose Enron as their sole investment option mainly becauseA. the 401(k) made them responsible for their own future.B. Enron offered to add company stock to their investment.C. their employers intended to cut back on pension spending.D. Enron’s offer was similar to a defined-benefit plan.10. Which is NOT seen as a lesson drawn from the Enron disaster?A. The 401(k) assets should be placed in more than one investment option.B. Employees have to take up responsibilities for themselves.C. Such events could happen again as it is not easy to change people’s mind.D. Economic security won’t be taken for granted by future young workers.Section 2 Answering questions (20’)Directions: Read the following passages and then answer IN COMPLETE SENTENCES the questions which follow each passage. Use only information from the passage you have just read and write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer sheet.Questions 1~3For 40 years the sight of thousands of youngsters striding across the open moorland has been as much an annual fixture as spring itself. But the 2,400 school pupils who join the grueling Dartmoor Ten Tors Challenge next Saturday may be among the last to take part in the May tradition. The trek faces growing criticism from environmentalists who fear that the presence of so many walkers on one weekend threatens the survival of some of Dartmoor’s internationally rare bird species.The Ten Tors Challenge takes place in the middle of the breeding season, when the slightest disturbance can jeopardize birds’ chances of reproducing successfully. Experts at the RSPB and the Dartmoor National Park Authority fear that the walkers could frighten birds and even crush eggs. They are now calling for the event to be moved to the autumn, when the breeding season is over and chicks should be well established. Organisers of the event, which is led by about 400 Territorial Army volunteers, say moving it would be impractical for several reasons and would mean pupils could not train properly for the 55-mile trek. Dartmoor is home to 10 rare species of ground-nesting birds, including golden plovers, dunlins and lapwings. In some cases, species are either down to their last two pairs on the moor or are facing a nationwide decline.Emma Parkin, South-west spokeswoman for the PASPB, took part in the challenge as a schoolgirl. She said the society had no objections to the event itself but simply wanted it moved to another time of year. “It is a wonderful activity for the children who take part bu t, having thousands of people walking past in one weekend when birds are breeding is hardly ideal,” she said. “We would prefer it to take place after the breeding and nesting season is over. There is a risk of destruction and disturbance. If the walkers put a foot in the wrong place they can crush the eggs and if there is sufficient disturbance the birds might abandon the nest.” Helen Booker, an RSPB upland conservation officer, said there was no research into the scale of the damage but there was little do ubt the walk was detrimental. “If people are tramping past continually it can harm the chances of successful nesting. There is also the fear of direct trampling of eggs.” A spokesman for the Dartmoor National Park Authority said the breeding season on the moor lasted from earlyMarch to mid-July, and the Ten Tors Challenge created the potential for disturbance for March, when participants start training.To move the event to the autumn was difficult because children would be on holiday during the training period. There was a possibility that some schools in the Southwest move to a four-term year in 2004, “but until then any change was unlikely. The authority last surveyed bird life on Dartmoor two year ago and if the next survey showed any further decline, it would increase pressure to move the Challenge,” he said.Major Mike Pether, secretary of the army committee that organises the Challenge, said the event could be moved if there was the popular will. “The Ten Tors has been running for 42 years and it has always been at this time of the year. It is almost in tablets of stone but that’s not to say we won’t consider moving if there is a consensus in favour. However, although the RSPB would like it moved, 75 per cent of the people who take part want it to stay as it is,” he said. Major Pether said the trek could not be moved to earlier in the year because it would conflict with the lambing season, most of the children were on holiday in the summer, and the winter weather was too harsh.Datmoor National Park occupies some 54 sq km of hills topped by granite outcrops known as “Tors” with the highest Tor-capped hill reaching 621m. The valleys and dips between the hills are often sites of bogs to snare the unwary hiker. The moor has long been used by the British Army as a training and firing range. The origin of the event stretches back to 1959 when three Army officers exercising on the moor thought it would provide a challenge for civilians as well as soldiers. In the first year 203 youngsters took up the challenges. Since then teams, depending on age and ability, face hikes of 35, 45 or 55 miles between 10 nominated Tors over two days. They are expected to carry everything they need to survive.1. What is the Ten Tors Challenge? Give a brief introduction of its location and history.2. Why is it suggested that the event be moved to the autumn or other seasons?3. What are the difficulties if the event is moved to the autumn or other seasons?Questions 4~5Mike and Adam Hurewitz grew up together on Long Island, in the suburbs of New York City. They were very close, even for brothers. So when Adam’s liver started failing, Mike offered to give him half of his. The operation saved Adam’s life. But Mike, who went into the hospital in seemingly excellent health, developed a complication—perhaps a blood colt—and died last week. He was 57. Mike Hurewitz’s death has prompted a lot of soul searching in the transplant community. Was it a tragic fluke or a sign that transplant surgery has reached some kind of ethical limit? The Mount Sinai Medical Center, the New York City hospital where the complex double operation was performed, has put on hold its adult living donor liver transplant program, pending a review of Hurewitz’s death. Mount Sinai has performed about 100 such operation s in the past three years.A 1-in-100 risk of dying may not seem like bad odds, but there’s more to this ethical dilemma than a simple ratio. The first and most sacred rule of medicine is to do no harm. “For a normal healthy person a mortality rate 1% is h ard to justify,” says Dr. John Fung, chief of transplantation at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “If the rate stays at 1%, it’s just not going to be accepted.” On the other hand, there’s an acute shortage of traditional donor organs from people who have died in accidents or suffered fatal heart attacks. If family members fullyunderstand the risks and are willing to proceed, is there any reason to stand in their way? Indeed, a recent survey showed that most people will accept a mortality rate for living organ donors as high as 20%. The odds, thankfully, aren’t nearly that bad. For kidney donors, for example, the risk ranges from 1 in 2, 500 to 1 in 4, 000 for a healthy volunteer. That helps explain why nearly 40% of kidney transplants in the U.S. come from living donors.The operation to transplant a liver, however, is a lot trickier than one to transplant a kidney. Not only is the liver packed with blood vessels, but it also makes lots of proteins that need to be produced in the right ratios for the body to survive. When organs from the recently deceased are used, the surgeon gets to pick which part of the donated liver looks the best and to take as much of it as needed. Assuming all goes well, a healthy liver can grow back whatever portion of the organ is missing, sometimes within a month.A living-donor transplant works particularly well when an adult donates a modest portion of the liver to a child. Usually only the left lobe of the organ is required, leading to a mortality rate for living-donors in the neighborhood of 1 in 500 to 1 in 1, 000. But when the recipient is another adult, as much as 60% of the donor’s liver has to be removed. “There really is very little margin for error,” says Dr. Fung. By way of analogy, he suggests, think of a tree. “An adult-to-child living-donor transplant is like cutting off a limb. With an adult-to-adult transplant, you’re splitting the trunk in half and trying to keep both halves alive.”Even if a potential donor understand and accepts these risks, that doesn’t necessarily mean the operation should proceed. All sorts of subtle pressures can be brought to bear on such a decision, says Dr. Mark Siegler, director of the MacLean for Clinical Medical Ethics at the University of Chicago. “Sometimes the sicker the pa tient, the greater the pressure and the more willing the donor will be to accept risks.” If you feel you can’t say no, is your decision truly voluntary? And if not, is it the medical community’s responsibility to save you from your own best intentions?Transplant centers have developed screening programs to ensure that living donors fully understand the nature of their decision. But unexamined, for the most part, is the larger issue of just how much a volunteer should be allowed to sacrifice to save another human being. So far, we seem to be saying some risk is acceptable, although we’re still vaguer about where the cutoff should be. There will always be family members like Mike Hurewitz who are heroically prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for a loved one. What the medical profession and society must decide is if it’s appropriate to let them do so.4. Describe in your own words the liver transplant between the two brothers Mike and Adam.5. What is the major issue raised in the article?III. Writing (30’)Some people see education simply as going to school or college, or as a means to secure good jobs; other people view education as a lifelong process.

Writing (30’)Education as a Lifelong ProcessWhen we talk about education, we can easily think of schools, colleges and young people. As a matter of fact, education is so important in modern society that it can be viewed as a lifelong process.Firstly, it’s the requirement of fast-developing society to receive education despite of your age. Our world is changing dramatically with the development of new science and technology. A person who completed his education at school in the 1970s or the 1980s may have encountered new problems when he is working now. The problems might have something to do with his major or other aspects. For example an accountant now must master the skills of accounting through computers, which is a basic tool for him, so he should also learn how to apply his job in a computer no matter how old he is.Secondly, education creates human character and moralities. Through education, youth may learn how to make contributions to the world. And the old may learn new things to enrich their lives. Through education, a healthy person can become stronger and a disabled person can have a new hope on his life. Man can find great pleasure in education.Thirdly, our modem society has provided everyone with the chance to receive education. As long as you wish you could get education by attending night-schools, adult colleges, trainingcenters and even long-distance education through Internet and TV.In a word, knowledge is boundless, and life is limited. So education is a lifelong process.。

2018年考研英语英译汉解析(英语一)(宋晨版)46.By the date of his birth Europe was witnessing the passing of the religious drama that had held its course for some five centuries, and the creation of new and mixed forms under the incentive of classical tragedy and comedy.解析:这句话中,注意代词his的处理。

his指的是莎士比亚。

witness这个词本意是“见证、目击”的意思。

drama是大纲词汇,指的是“戏剧”。

religious指的是“宗教的”。

that 后引导的从句是定语从句,先行词是religious drama。

这个定语从句放到先行词之前翻译。

这个定语从句中出现了大量的介词结构。

注意判断介词结构所作的成分。

定语放到名词前,状语放到动词前。

hold course本意为“保持航向”,此处的意思为“持续”。

under the incentive of classical tragedy and comedy这一介词结构做的是状语。

under the incentive of…直接翻译是在…的激励下,此处翻译为在…的影响下更好。

creation of xxx直接翻译是xxx的创造,这里处理为xxx的诞生。

注意and the creation of new and mixed forms under the incentive of classical tragedy and comedy.这句话的and告诉我们,这是并列结构,有并列就有省略,第二句省略了Europe was witnessing。

考点:代词的翻译、定语从句、介词结构、抽象名词。

翻译:莎士比亚出生时,欧洲见证了持续近五个世纪的宗教戏剧的没落;在经典悲剧和喜剧的影响下,欧洲也见证了新兴的以及混合戏剧形式的诞生。

Each passage accounts for30 points an d the total for this part is 60 points (30’ ×2 = 60’).Passage 1Sometimes you’d rather not know the bad news. An estimated 500,000 pieces of space junk—old satellites, rocket parts, debris from collisions—swarm in orbit around Earth. Much of it is potentially deadly: NASA officials say anything larger than 1 centimeter in diameter poses a threat to the International Space Station (ISS). But current tracking systems can generally only watch objects 10 cm or larger, and the U.S. government now follows less than 5% of space hazards—just 23,000 objects. That should change with the addition of a powerful new Air Force radar system, scheduled to break ground this month on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands.When it comes online in 2019, Space Fence is expected to find and track as many as 150,000additional humanmade objects, some as small as a golf ball, says Dana Whalley,Space Fence program manager, who is stationed at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. In addition to enabling the Air Force to better protect Defense Department satellites from collisions, the new system will improve the military’s ability to observe and track foreign satellite activity, especially in the busy Asia-Pacific region.Passage 2Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions,like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy–ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness – that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what – at last – I have found.Part IV. Translate the following passages from Chinese into English. Each passage accounts for30 points and the total for this part is 60 points (30’ ×2 = 60’).Passage 1气候变化是当今人类社会面临的共同挑战。

阅读1Among the annoying challenges facing the middle class is one that will probably go unmentioned in the next presidential campaign: What happens when the robots come for their jobs?中产阶级需要面对众多挑战,其中有一项挑战在下一次总统竞选中可能并不会被提及,那就是当机器人可以胜任中产阶级的工作时,会发生什么。

Don't dismiss that possibility entirely. About half of U.S. jobs are at high risk of being automated, according to a University of Oxford study, with the middle class disproportionately squeezed. Lower-income jobs like gardening or day care don't appeal to robots. But many middle-class occupations-trucking, financial advice, software engineering — have aroused their interest, or soon will. The rich own the robots, so they will be fine.不要完全忽略这种可能性。

根据牛津大学的一项研究,随着中产阶级被过度压榨,美国约有一半的工作岗位将面临着自动化的危险处境。

低收入岗位比如园艺和日间看护不足以吸引机器人。

但是许多中产阶级的工作岗位比如运输业、经济咨询、软件开发等行业已经或将引起它们的兴趣。

By the time Shakespeare was twenty-five,Lyly,Peele,and Greene had made comedies that were at once popular and literary;Kyd had written a tragedy that crowded the pit;and Marlowe had brought poetry and genius to triumph on the common stage-where they had played no part since the death of Euripides.(49)A native literary drama had been created, its alliance with the public playhouses established,and at least some of its great traditions had been begun.The development of the Elizabethan drama for the next twenty-five years is of exceptional interest to students of literary history,for in this brief period we may trace the beginning,growth,blossoming,and decay of many kinds of plays,and of many great careers.We are amazed today at the mere number of plays produced,as well as by the number of dramatists writing at the same time for this London of two hundred thousand inhabitants.(50)To realize how great was the dramatic activity,we must remember further that hosts of plays have been lost,and that probably there is no author of note whose entire work has survived.。

【导语】2018年研究⽣考试英语试题已陆续公布,考研频道⼩编将在第⼀时间为各位考⽣公布考研英语试题及答案信息,以下是⼩编为各位考⽣整理的2018考研英语⼆真题:翻译(新东⽅版)相关内容,请各位考⽣查看如下: LEAD SMARTER Why Bill Gates Reads 50 Books A Year (And How You Can Too!) Billionaire Bill Gates's ultimate tip for success is to read more; the entrepreneur reads 50+ books a year. Learn how to do the same with one trusty tool. by Saba Khalid | Mar 16 2017 He meets renowned scientists and surgeons on a whim, travels far and wide on his private jet, and attends some of the most important lectures and conferences happening today. Still, Bill Gates considers sitting down with a book his favorite way to learn. A fifth grader gets a homework assignment to select his future career path from a list of occupations. He ticks “astronaut”but quickly adds “scientist” to the list and selects it as well. The boy is convinced that if he reads enough, he can explore as many career paths as he likes. And so he reads—everything from encyclopedias to science fiction novels. He reads so fervently that his parents have to institute a “no reading policy” at the dinner table. That boy was Bill Gates, and he hasn’t stopped reading yet—not even after becoming one of the most successful people on the planet. Nowadays, his reading material has changed from sci-fi and reference books: recently, he revealed that he reads at least 50 nonfiction books a year. Gates chooses nonfiction titles because they explain how the world works. In 2015, he explored topics that ranged from how buildings are constructed to how diseases are eliminated. While we might like to read as much as Gates does every year, our demanding jobs and daily routines make it impossible to follow his example. And when we do manage to pick up a title, our focus sometimes tends to waver. Here’s one trick that can help you catch up to Gates: choose the right books. Not all books are created equal. Unfortunately, only a fraction of what you read will have a positive impact in your life. Unless you choose the right books, it doesn’t matter if you read 50 books in a year or 500. Luckily, the Blinkist app can help you discover what nonfiction books are out there, so you can pick the right ones. With our app, you can read or listen to the most popular books in 15-minute takeaways. This way, you can survey these books before reading them in full. Furthermore, if you can’t read 50 books in a year, at least you can get the main takeaways. Download the Blinkist app & read like Bill Gates! ABOUT THE WRITER Saba Khalid Saba Khalid is a Pakistani journalist living between Karachi and Berlin. She’s been working on women empowerment in her country through her website Aurat Raaj. Her dog Travis, a strong cup of coffee and planning her next big vacation get her through the day! https:///magazine/posts/why-bill-gates-reads-50-books-a-year-and-how-you-can-too。

He assert,also, that his power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought was very limited, //for which reason he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics.(33 words)词汇要点:1) assert//v. 肯定地说,断言,维护,坚持。

2) train//n. 火车;一系列结构要点:1) 主句部分是He assert that…,that后面连接一个宾语从句;2) that宾语从句的主干是his power…was verylimited;3) which引导一个非限定性定语从句,which先行词是前面his power…was limited这个宾语从句;4) hefelt certain后面还有一个that宾语从句。

汉译逻辑要点:1) that his power…was very limited是that宾语从句的主干,可以翻译为:他的能力十分有限。

2) train ofsth. 是“一系列”的意思,train of thought是指“一系列思维”,就是“思路”。

3) to follow atrain of thought直译是“跟随自己的思路”,就是“进行思维”的意思。

所以,to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought就可以翻译为:进行长时间纯抽象思维。

因为这个不定式短语修饰power(能力),可以放到“能力”前面去翻译:进行长时间纯抽象思维的能力。

4) for which reason中的which修饰的是上文“his power…was limited,他进行长时间抽象思维的能力非常有限”,可以翻译为“由于这个原因”。

5) he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics中never could have succeeded…是英语的一种虚拟语气“本来就不该成功”;never否定程度很重,可以用汉语的“根本不可能会成功”来表达。

完整译文:他还坚持认为自己进行长时间纯抽象思维的能力十分有限,由此他认定自己在数学方面根本不可能有大的作为。

He adds humbly that perhaps he was “superior //to the common run of men //innoticing things which easily escape attention, //and in observing them carefully.”(26 words) 词汇要点:1) humbly//adv. 恭顺地,谦卑地2) superior//adj. 优秀的,优等的结构要点:1) 主句部分是He adds …that…,2) that宾语从句的主干是he was superior to…;3) innoticing…, and in observing…是两个in介词短语并列做状语;其中还有一个which定语从句修饰things。

汉译逻辑要点:1) He adds humbly中的adds是“增加说,补充说,又说,还说”的意思。

2) the commonrun of men中的run当名词用,the common, general, ordinary等词后面接run (of sth)是习惯用法,意思是“普通的类型或等级”,如:the common run of mankind(普通人)。

3) in noticingthings…, and in observing them carefully是并列几次短语做状语,是指“在注意到事情,和在仔细观察这些事情”这两方面“优于常人”。

4) in noticing things which easily escape attention中的which easilyescape attention是定语从句可以直译为:容易逃避注意力。

这个定语从句是修饰前面的things(事物),其意思是说,“这些事物容易逃避注意力”,其实就可以翻译为:容易忽略的事物。

所以,这个部分结合起来,可以翻译为:在注意到容易忽略的事物方面。

完整译文:他谦卑地补充道,或许他在注意到别人容易忽略的事物,并对其加以仔细的观察方面,他要比普通人更有优势。

或:他谦卑地补充道,与常人相比,或许他更能注意到容易忽略的事情,更能对此加以仔细观察。

Darwin was convinced that the loss of these tastes was not only aloss of happiness, but might possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character. (31 words)3 4词汇要点:1) injurious//adj. 造成伤害的,有害的2) intellect//n. 智力,理解力;有高智慧的人结构要点:1) 主句部分是Darwin was convinced that…,that后面连接一个宾语从句;2) 宾语从句的主干是the loss of thesetastes was not only…, but…;3) andmore probably to…与上文的injuriousto…并列。

汉译逻辑要点:1) be convincedthat…是“相信,确信”的意思。

2) the loss ofthese tastes。

需要注意这里的taste这个单词,基本意思是“味道,品尝”,正因为这样,可能有人会错误的翻译为“品尝的失去,味道的失去”,更有甚者,翻译为“味觉的失去”。

仔细看看上文,有一个即明显的短语“taste forpictures or music(对绘画和音乐的爱好)”。

所以,这里的taste应该翻译为“兴趣,爱好”。

3) but mightpossibly be injurious to the intellect中be injuriousto…是“对…造成伤害”的意思;intellect意思是“智力,理解力,思维力”。

这个部分可以直接翻译为:而且可能会有损一个人的思维能力。

4) and moreprobably to the moral character与上文的be injuriousto the intellect构成并列结构,是(beinjurious) to the moral character的省略。

moral character不宜翻译为“道德性格”,因为不通顺,汉语中与“道德”搭配的词是“道德品质、道德品格”。

所以,可以翻译为:更有可能会伤害道德品质。

说“伤害品质”略微有点不通顺,可以说“更有可能导致一个人道德品质的下降”。

完整译文:达尔文确信,没有了这些爱好不只是少了乐趣,而且可能会有损于一个人的思维能力,更可能导致一个人道德品质的下降。

On theother hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning. (32 words)结构要点:1) 整个句子的主干部分是he did not accept…thecharge,其中as well founded是介词短语作补足语,修饰宾语the charge;2) madeby his critics that…是made分词短语作定语;其中that引导的是同位语从句;3) while he was…, he had…是that同位语从句里面的while让步状语从句和它对应的主句。

单词讲解:1) charge//n. 指责,指控;费用2) critics //n. 批评家3) well-founded //adj. 有依据的汉译逻辑要点:1) 在he did notaccept as well founded the charge这个部分中,需要看到he did notaccept…the charge是主干部分,而as wellfounded是charge这个宾语的补足语,这里由于the charge 这个宾语后面还带了一个made分词短语修饰和that同位语从句在修饰,所以,把宾语补足语as well founded倒装到the charge前面去了,正常顺序是he did notaccept the charge as well founded。

我们也可以这样来看:he did notaccept…as…。

charge意思是“指责,指控”,well founded意思是“有依据的”。

整个部分可以翻译为:他认为这种指责缺乏依据。

2) while he was a good observer是一个状语从句,可以翻译为:虽然他是一个好的观察者。

但是,“好的观察者”这个汉语不太通顺,可以调整为:虽然他善于观察。

he had no power of reasoning可以直接翻译为:他不具备推理能力。

所以整个这个部分是:虽然他善于观察,却不具备推理能力。

3) 还要注意到while这个状语从句前面还有一个that引导词,引导的是一个同位语从句,整个同位语从句“虽然他善于观察,却不具备推理能力”是在说明the charge(这种指责)。

而“这种指责”是“一些批评家对他”的指责。

汉译逻辑顺序可以这样来安排:另一方面,某些人批评他虽然善于观察,却不具备推理能力,而他认为这种说法缺乏依据的。

完整译文:另一方面,某些人批评他虽然善于观察,却不具备推理能力,而他认为这种说法缺乏依据的。

On the other, it links these concepts to everyday realities //in a manner which is parallel to thelinks //journalists forge on a daily basis //as they cover andcomment on the news. (33 words) 词汇要点:1) parallel //adj. 平行的,相似的,类似的,相同的2) journalist //n. 记者,新闻工作者3) forge //v. 炼,打铁,锻造4) cover //v. 盖,覆盖;报道结构要点:1) 主干是it links these concepts to…;2) which is parallel to the links是which定语从句,修饰manner;3) journalists forge…是省略that的定语从句,修饰thelinks;4) as they cover and comment on…是时间状语从句,修饰forge。
