翻译试题的特点
1、文体：
•
汉译英：记叙、介绍、散文、论说 • 英译汉：散文、论说、评论、演讲 2、语域： • 人文历史，无科技翻译 3、内容：无专门学术领域知识
注意： • 1. 各年的翻译选段都是较正式的语体，未见不 正式的讽刺性杂文，也未见不正式的小说对话。即 使涉及文学，也是作家的作品或思想介绍。 • 2. 为了帮助考生更好地理解待翻译的篇段，一 般都提供较多的上下文。源自文库考生务必只翻译划线部 分。 • 3. 从历届翻译考题看，以人生哲理、道德教育 方面的内容为多，需着重关注。 • 4. 重点推荐书目： 张培基 《英译中国现代散文选》 乔萍 等《散文佳作108篇》

句法问题





译文句式单一，并列句一统译文。 受汉语结构影响，断句不果断，亦步亦趋 。 受汉语结构影响，译文句子主从不明，逻辑松散。 一个春天的傍晚，园中百花怒放，父母在园中设宴，一时宾 客云集，笑语四溢。 At one dusk in spring, flowers were blooming wildly in the garden, my parents were holding a banquet, in which guests were gathering, laughters could be heard everywhere. 修改为：On a spring evening, my parents gave a banquet in the garden where a profusion of flowers were in full bloom. In no time, a crowd of their guests gathered, cheering and laughing.
