（八）、以成语（谚语）为主的考点
【测试特点】
成语（谚语）是日常生活中常用的表达形式，它们增强了语言的色彩，丰富了语言的表达力。从2003年起，成语（谚语）成为了高考翻译题的常设考点。成语（谚语）的翻译难度往往较大，其主要原因是中文里的成语（言语）往往在英语里很难找到固定的表达式，有些成语（谚语）在表达形式上还有文言文色彩。这就要求考生在翻译前首先吃透原文中成语（谚语）在上下文中的确切含义，并将其转化成为普通语言的表达方式，如果是文言文色彩的成语（谚语），先要将其转换成现代文的表达形式，在此基础上再把中文成语（言语）灵活地翻译成一一相对应的英语表达形式。有关成语（谚语）的考核在翻译题的4分题中将得到充分体现。
【高考典型试题举例】
1．请尽早做出决定，不然你会错失良机。(or)
___________________________________________________________________ 2．它们应从这件事中吸取教训：玩火者必自焚。(burn)
___________________________________________________________________ 3．众所周知，成功来自勤奋，不努力则一事无成。(without)

——魏毅晟
Recently I’m taking part in a practical program for us students to start our own business. After careful consideration of basic characteristics of modern society and current book market, I’ve decided that an online book store will be a much better choice than a physical one.
The most distinguished power in this century surely lies in Internet technology, which we can easily tell from the overall popularity of online shopping across the world. Seizing the trading platform the Internet has built to do book sales, I can better cater to the fast-paced life of modern people. Speedy delivery of the ordered books will better satisfy book lovers’ demands, while the convenience online bookstores bring about without them leaving their homes is beyond words.
Some may say the failure to let people have a specific idea of what they are buying is a deadly weakness of online shopping. However, for online bookstores, we can scan the contents of the books and upload them, allowing people to have a preview of the books before they willingly purchase them, thus stimulating my business.
Apart from the potential profits, it shall also be a responsibility for all book sellers to promote the popularity of traditional printed books over e-books in such an age where they’re threatening to take over traditional ways of reading. And only by providing easier access to books can we make it. Online bookstores will see to it.
In a word, an online bookstore means a more satisfactory experience to customers, richer profits to book sellers, and a brighter future to traditional printed books. Therefore, I favor opening an online book store over a physical one.
——胡嘉年
It is the spring of electronic commerce; it was the autumn of physical stores, especially bookstores. While buying online has become a trend because of its one-click convenience, physical bookstores are facing the likelihood of being closed.
If I can start a career by opening a bookstore, my alternative will always be a physical one, for it has the features that an electronic one will never have.
Personally speaking, with the space and peace of a physical bookstore, everyone can lose themselves in books. In addition, chances are that different people with similar taste or interest will be encountered and it will make it possible to make friends with different people just because of books.
Commercially speaking, a physical bookstore provides customers opportunities to buy books after selecting carefully by comparison or previewing the content, and to take them right away with less books you will regret buying. Therefore, it also will eliminate your possible anxiety of waiting for your orders if you shop online.
Socially speaking, physical bookstores play a vital role in promoting academic atmosphere. In Japan, there’s an old street famous for centenary bookstores and its academic atmosphere, which help all nations to form the good habit of reading.
In the Shakespeare & Co. in Paris, a sign reads that, “Passing passengers! You do not know how longingly I look upon you.” Bookstores and readers need each other, and maybe that’s why many physical bookstores are struggling in the “invasion” of online ones. As for me, I’d like to open a brick-and mortar one.

Part One I had only recently seen John in a restaurant. The news of his death came as a bolt from the blue She found the keys she had lost last month, which was like a bolt from the blue A bolt from the blue Meaning：A complete surprise, like a bolt of lightning from a blue sky. Origin：This has the feel of a Shakespearian or Biblical phrase, but it isn't as old as it sounds. There are several forms of it: 'out of the blue', 'a bolt out of the blue', etc. The earliest citation is Thomas Carlyle, in The French Revolution, 1837: "Arrestment, sudden really as a bolt out of the Blue, has hit strange victims." It is unpleasant to hear him speak on national topics, for he is a bird of ill omen. 叫他谈论国事是不愉快的，因为他常出不吉之言。 a bird of ill omen 中国有句老话:“夜猫子进宅，无事不来”，可见猫头鹰是种不吉利的象征。它往往和黑暗、神秘甚至死亡联系起来。然而在日本，猫头鹰却是吉利和幸福的代表。 奥运会的吉祥物 雕像、挂钟、水壶、牙签盒，甚至还有女士佩戴的胸针 They were only crying crocodile tears at the old man's funeral because nobody had really liked him. 在老人的葬礼上，他们在假装慈悲，因为他们之中没有谁喜欢过他。 We need not hope for lower taxes in the future ─ that would be crying for the moon. 我们不应抱任何希望将来会降低税收，这是根本不可能的事。 “不可能”，“没门”的译法 No way/There is no way! Impossible! Out of the question/That's out of the question! Not a chance! Hopeless! Pigs might fly! The sun might rise in the west! Never/Never ever ever! You are crying for the moon! Street Arabs are produced by slums and not by original sin. 流浪儿是贫民窟的产物，而不是原始罪恶的产物。 John is ashamed of his humble background. That is his Achilles' heel. 约翰因出身卑贱而自惭形秽，这是他的致命弱点。 Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own; in pain and sickness it would still be dear. 在我看来，你身上的每一个细胞都像我自己的细胞一样亲，即使你痛苦你有病，也还是一样亲。 I'll play old Gooseberry with the office, and make you glad to buy me out at a good high figure. 我要在工作上故意捣蛋，使你不得不付出高价收买我。 play gooseberry (British humorous) to be with two people who are having a romantic relationship and who would prefer to be alone. “Best be off to bed, my boy ─ ho, ho!”“No, no. We know a trick worth two of that. We won’t go home till morning, till day light does appear!” “孩子，最好上床睡吧——嗬，嗬！”“不，不，你不必跟我们玩那一套。不到明天，不到天大亮我们不归家。
