翻译题题库

翻译一．看核心语法，重点看虚拟语气；比较状语从句；倒装句；现在分词；过去分词；不定式；动名词。

二．把写不出的单词短语换个说法。

比如写不出“他向我收费过高”中的“overcharge, charge”，我们可以说“ask me to pay him much more money”。

再比如写不出“把孩子的成功归因于”我们可以说“to have a belief that their children’s success is due to”。

结语:纵观新四级翻译真题，我们完全有理由相信：老四级当中的词汇与结构部分的重点语法和重要词组，将会成为汉译英部分的考查重点，因此考生仍旧应该重视老四级的真题材料。

新四级翻译考试题目以汉译英的命题形式出现，考点的实质其实仍然是基础语法和基础词汇知识，如果考生备考时能够牢固掌握以往老四级《词汇和结构》真题的核心知识点，拿到汉译英部分分数应该是相对容易的。

但是需要注意到的是，汉译英部分的做题时间只有5分钟，这就意味着考生必须对知识点掌握足够熟练，满足考题在速度上的要求。

87．The substance does not dissolve in water ____________________(不管是否加热)。

本句意为：不管是否加热，这种物质都不会溶解于水。

考虑提示部分的汉语，“不管…是否…”即“whether…or …”，很容易找到这个对应结构。

关键点在于对“加热”的理解，从上下文意义推断出是water被加热，所以我们采用被动方式，即whether (it is) heated or not。

88．Not only _______________(他向我收费过高)，but he didn't do a good repair job either.本句意为：他不但向我收费过高，而且东西修理得不怎么样。

本句中要考虑两个层面，首先考虑的是本句中“not only…but…”结构中出现了否定词前置到句首的现象，自然是倒装句的标志。

其次是动词“收费”的对应词，应当是“charge”。

“过高”则往往使用too high 或too much, 由于主体内容是金钱而不是温度，我们用经常搭配的“much”。

结合后半句的一般过去时形式，我们不得不把助动词did提炼出来，按照倒装结构翻译成“Not only did he charge me too much”89. Your losses in trade this year are nothing ______________________(与我的相比)。

本句意为“你在生意中的损失与我的相比不值一题。

翻译时有两个知识点容易出错，首先，“与…相比”考查词组知识，四级程度同学应当掌握“compared with”或者“in comparison with”,此外，“我的”应当使用物主代词所有格“mine”，此处不宜写成“my losses”。

90. On average, it is said, visitors spend only _____________________(一半的钱) in a day in Leeds as in London.本句意为：据说，游客平均一天在利兹花掉的钱只有在伦敦的一半那么多。

显然本句在拿as…as…结构做文章。

关键是次序如何调理。

根据比较结构中的倍数原则，倍数数字放在最开始，因此本句要填入“half as much money”。

91. By contrast, American mothers were more likely_______________________ (把孩子的成功归因于) natural talent.本句意为：相比较，美国的母亲们更可能把孩子的成功归因于天赋。

应当熟练把握“attribute…to…”的拼写和用法。

此外，不要忽略另外一个词的用法,“be likely to …”表示“容易”、“可能”等意义，稍不小心就会把to漏掉。

总之，需要填入的部分拼贴在一起就是“to attribute their children’s success to”。

87 Having spent some time in the city, he had no trouble ____________(找到去历史博物馆的路).本句意为：因为在城里呆了很久，他很容易找到去历史博物馆的路。

参考答案：finding the way to the history museum考察的是have (no) trouble (in) doing sth.这一词组，关键是看考生在答案中是否使用了动名词形式；88 ____________(为了挣钱供我上学), Mother often takes on more work than is good for her.本句意为：为了挣钱供我上学，妈妈经常做太多的工作。

参考答案：In order to support my university studies (to finance my education)不定式作目的状语，因此最好的方式必然是以“in order to”或“to”开头。

89 The professor required that __________________(我们交研究报告)。

本句意为：教授要我们交研究报告。

参考答案: we hand in our research report(s)require that是虚拟语气句型。

补全之后的形式应为require that sb. (should) do sth.；90 The more you explain, _________________(我愈糊涂).本句意为：你越解释，我越糊涂。

参考答案：the more confused I am考生应该十分熟悉的the more…, the more…句型。

91 Though a skilled worker, _______________(他被公司解雇了).本句意为：尽管他技术不错，但是他还是被公司解雇了。

参考答案：he was fired by the company让步状语从句之后的主句，关键采分点之一是看考生是否掌握though引导让步状语从句时，主句不应有but存在。

同时考察被动语态的考点。
