2017年12月英语四六级翻译真题 英语四级翻译真题：泰山 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。据记载，共有72位帝王曾来此游览。许多作家到泰山获取灵感，写诗作文，艺术家也来此绘画。山上因此留下了许许多多的文物古迹。泰山如今已成为中国一处主要的旅游景点。 英语四级翻译真题：华山 华山位于华阴市，距西安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，希望长寿的人却经常上山，因为山上生长着许多药草，特别是一些稀有的药草。自上世纪90年代安装缆车以来，参观人数大大增加。 英语四级翻译真题：黄山 黄山位于安徽省南部。它风景独特，尤以其日出和云海著称。要欣赏大山的宏伟壮丽，通常得向上看。但要欣赏黄山美景，就得向下看。黄山的湿润气候有利于茶树生长，是中国主要产茶地之一。这里还有许多温泉，其泉水有助于防治皮肤病。黄山是中国主要旅游目的地之一，也是摄影和传统国画最受欢迎的主题。 英语六级翻译真题：青海湖 青海湖位于海拔3205米、青海省省会西宁以西约100公里处。是中国最大的咸水湖，面积4317平方公里，最深处25.5米，有23条河注入湖中，其中大部分是季节性的。百分之八十的湖水源于五条主要河流。青海湖位于跨越亚洲的几条候鸟迁徙路线的交叉处。许多鸟类把青海湖作为迁徙过程中的暂息地，湖的西侧是著名的“鸟岛”，吸引着来自世界各地的观鸟者。每年夏天，游客们也来这里观看国际自行车比赛。 英语六级翻译真题：洞庭湖 洞庭湖位于湖南省东北部，面积很大，但湖水很浅。洞庭湖是长江的蓄洪池，湖的大小很大程度上取决于季节变化，湖北和湖南两省因其与湖的相对位置而得名，湖北意为“湖的北边”，而湖南则为“湖的南边”。洞庭湖作为龙舟赛的发源地，在中国文化中享有盛名。据说龙舟赛始于洞庭湖东岸。为的是搜寻楚国爱国诗人屈原的遗体。龙舟赛与洞庭湖及周边的美景，每年都吸引着成千上万来自全国和世界各地的游客。 英语六级翻译真题：太湖 太湖是中国东部的一个淡水湖，占地面积2250平方公里，是中国第三大淡水湖，仅次于鄱阳和洞庭，太湖约有90个岛屿，大小从几平方米到几平方公里不等。太湖以其独特的“太湖石”而闻名，太湖石常用于装饰中国传统园林。太湖也以高产的捕鱼业而闻名。自上世纪70年代后期以来，捕捞鱼蟹对沿湖的

四六级翻译十大常考句型 冲刺阶段，考生除了要积累大量的翻译常考词汇，还要能灵活运用翻译中的常考句型，从而能够把词汇和句型结合起来，这样才会在翻译句子、段落时如鱼得水，无往不胜。下面将对最常考的十大翻译句型进行详细介绍和解析。 常考句型1：形式主语it句（it is...(for sb) to do/that...） 在这种句型中，it作为形式上的主语，并无实际语义，只是为了满足语法上的需求，避免句子头重脚轻。因此，在汉译英的过程中，如果汉语句子的主语非常长，而谓语部分又相对较短，那么在把它翻译为英语句子时，可以把汉语中的主语以动词不定式的形式或者that从句的形式放在最后，把it作为形式主语。 例：我们城市的多数人将享受免费医疗，这是一定的。 【参考译文】It is certain that free medical care will be given to most people in our city. 常考句型2: 存在句（there be句型） 存在句在英语中用来表示人或事物的存在、出现等意义，大多存在于描述性文章中。因此在汉译英时，如果一句话是表示一种客观存在的描述时，可以采取翻译为存在句的办法。此处的be可以根据汉语意思变化为各种形式如appear to be, seem to be, happen to be, used to be, ought to be, must be。存在句除了典型的there be结构，还可以用其他的系动词如live，stand，lie，come，exist，remain等来替换系动词be。 例：那里曾经有来自其他国家的移民。 【参考译文】There used to be immigrants from other countries. 常考句型3：主谓宾结构句汉语和英语语言体系中都有主谓宾结构（如，中国有着悠久的历史：China has a long history），而且都是语言的基本结构，因此掌握主谓宾句的用法在汉译英时是非常有帮助的。如果看到的汉语句子是非常规整的主谓宾结构，那么在翻译时就可以直接用对应的英语句子来翻译。 例：中国将加速节能产业的发展，使其到2015年成为国民经济的支柱产业。 【参考译文】China will speed up the development of energy-saving industry and make it a pillar of the national economy by 2015. 常考句型4：比较句比较句是英语中很常用的句式，应用范围极其广泛。该句式主要是通过形容词和副词的原级、比较级和最高级三种形式来对两种或两种以上的事物进行比较。因此如果汉语句中出现“（不）和/像...... 一样”，那么可以用同级比较句“主语+谓语+（not）so/as +形容词/副词原级+as+被比较的对象”；同样，如果句中出现“比......”这个标志性词，那么可以用“主语+谓语+more/less+形容词/副词原级+than+被比较的对象”来表示。而出现“最.......”则需要用最高级比较句“the most/least+形容词/副词+（名词）”。 例：北京大学是中国成立最早、最著名的大学之一。 【参考译文】Peking University is one of the most earliest and most famous universities in China. 其他常考句型 常考句型5：让步状语从句（Although... ; though...） 常考句型6：原因状语从句（...because....） 常考句型7：目的/结果状语从句（so (such)...that...；so that...） 常考句型8：条件状语从句（If...） 常考句型9：递进句（What’s more...；Moreover,...） 常考句型10：结果句（Therefore, ....；..., consequently, ...） 汉语中经常会有一些诸如“因为，尽管，因此，而且，如果”等这样的词来引导一句话，这种情况下，我们可以用英语中对应的状语从句或者逻辑词来对应地表达汉语中的意思。例：中国梦是中国的一个新名词。人们已经开始期待一个“梦想的国度”。因此，在中国人的意识中，中国梦将会取代美国梦。【参考译文】The Chinese Dream is a new term in China. People have begun to expect a “dream country”. Therefore, in the mind of Chinese people, the Chinese Dream will supersede the American Dream.
汉语是中国汉民族使用的语言，汉语历史悠久，在3000多年前就有了相当成熟的文字。汉语有超过12亿的使用者，是使用人数最多的语言之一，除了中国，新加坡、马来西亚等国家也有相当一部分人使用汉语，分布在世界各地的几千万华侨、华裔，也以汉语的各种方言为自己的母语。汉语是中国人使用的主要语言，也是联合国的工作语言。 Used by the Han people in China, the Chinese language has a long history, having established a fairly mature written language more than 3000 years ago. The Chinese language has more than 1.2 billion users and can be regarded as the one spoken by the
greatest number of persons. In addition to china, some people in Singapore and Malaysia also use Chinese, and millions of overseas Chinese and foreign citizens of Chinese origin distributed around the world use various Chinese dialect as native language. The Chinese language is the main language used by Chinese, also one of the working languages of United Nations.

Regional cuisines have taken shape after long-history evolution under the influence of geographical environment, climate, cultural tradition, folk customs and other factors. The most influential and representative ones are Lu, Chuan，Yue, Min, Su，Zhe, Xiang and Hui Cuisines, which are commonly known as “Eight Major Cuisines”. Dishes in the “Eight Major Cuisines” in China are charact erized by diversified cooking skills, with each having its strong points. 2、孔子(ConfUcius)是一位思想家、政治家，教育家，也是中国儒学(the Ru School)思想的创始人。儒学(Confucianism)，这个道德和宗教哲学的大系统建立在孔圣人(Master Kung)的教学上。冯友兰，中国思想史上20世纪伟大的的权威之一，把孔子在中国历史上的影响比作西方的苏格拉底。 Confucius was a thinker, political figure, educator, and founder of the Ru School of Chinese thought. Confucianism, the great system of moral and religious philosophy built upon the teachings of Master Kung. Fung You-lan, one of the great 20th century authorities on the history ofChinese thought, compares Confucius9 influence in Chinese history with that of Socrates in the West. 3、京剧(Beijing Opera)是中国的国粹。作为一门古老的艺术，京剧的服装(costume)、脸谱(facial mask)更易被人喜爱。不同的服装类型反映不同的人物身份特征。富贵者的服装缀满精美的刺绣;穷困者的服装则简单朴素，少有装饰(elemental)。脸谱是京剧中塑造人物形象的重要手段，它是用不同的颜色在脸上勾画出来的。脸谱的颜色让人一看便知角色(portray)的善恶。比如白色代表奸诈(treachery)，黑色代表正直不阿，黄色是骁勇，蓝、绿色多用于绿林好汉(rebellious fighters)，金、银色多用于神佛(divinity and Buddhism)等。 Beijing Opera is the cream of the Chinese culture. As a tradi?tional art form, its costumes and facial mask are more popular with peo?ple. Different styles of costumes are used to reflect the status of different characters. There are more decorations in the costumes of nobles，while
