There is no question that science-fiction writers have become more ambitious, stylistically and thematically, in recent years. (1) (But this may have less to do with the luring call of academic surroundings than with changing market conditions—a factor that academic critics rarely take into account.) Robert Silverberg, a former president of The Science Fiction Writers of America, is one of the most prolific professionals in a field dominated by people who actually write for a living. (Unlike mystery or Western writers, most science-fiction writers cannot expect to cash in on fat movie sales or TV tie-ins.) (2) (Still in his late thirties, Silverberg has published more than a hundred books, and he is disarmingly frank about the relationship between the quality of genuine prose and the quality of available outlet. )By his own account, he was “an annoyingly verbal young man” from Brooklyn who picked up his first science-fiction book at the age of ten, started writing seriously at the age of thirteen, and at seventeen nearly gave up in despair over his inability to break into the pulp magazines. (3)( At his parents’ urging, he enrolled in Columbia University, so that, if worst came to worst, he could always go to the School of
Journalism and “get a nice steady job somewhere”.) During his sophomore year, he sold his first science-fiction story to a Scottish magazine named Nebula. By the end of his junior year, he had sold a novel and twenty more stories. (4) (By the end of his senior year, he was earning two hundred dollars a week writing science fiction, and his parents were reconciled to his pursuit of the literary life. )“I became very cynical very quickly,” he says. First I couldn’t sell anything, then I could sell everything. The market played to my worst characteristics. An editor of a schlock magazine would call up to tell me he had a
ten-thousand-word hole to fill in his next issue. I’d fill it overnight for a hundred and fifty dollars. I found that rewriting made no difference. (5)( I knew I could not possibly write the kinds of things I admired as a reader—Joyce, Kafka, Mann—so I detached myself from my work.) I was a phenomenon among my friends in college, a published, selling author. But they always asked, “When are you going to do something serious?” —mean ing something that wasn’t science fiction—and I kept telling them, “ When I’m financially secure.”

2018年考博英语翻译练习及参考【三篇】 导读：本文2018年考博英语翻译练习及参考【三篇】，仅供参考，如果觉得很不错，欢迎点评和分享。 【第一篇：健康的乐观主义】大多数人愿意把乐观定义为无尽的欢乐，就像一只总是装着半杯水的杯子。但那是一种绝不会为积极心理学家所推荐的虚假快乐。哈佛大学的Tal Ben-Shahar教授说，“健康的乐观主义，意味着要处于现实之中。”在Ben-Shahar看来，现实的乐观主义者，会尽努力做好一件事，而不是相信每件事都会有的结果。Ben-Shahar 会进行三种乐观方面的练习。比如说，当他进行了一次糟糕的演讲，感到心情郁闷的时候，他会告诉自己这是人之常情。他会提醒自己：并不是每一次演讲都可以获得诺贝尔获，总会有一些演讲比其它演讲效果差。接着是重塑，他分析了这个效果不好的演讲，并且从那些起作用和不起作用的演讲中吸取教训为将来做准备。最后，需要有这样一种观点，那就是承认，在广阔的生命当中，一次演讲根本算不上什么。参考译文Most people would define optimism as endlessly happy, with a glass that’s perpetually half fall. But that’s exactly the kind of false deerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend. “Healthy optimists means being in touch with reality.” says Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor, According to Ben- Shalar,realistic optimists are these who make the best of things

2012年考博考试英语翻译策略 无论是英汉翻译，还是汉英翻译，就翻译的过程而言，只有两个：一是对原文的理解，二是用译文来表达。 汉英翻译三步策略之一：定主语 1．翻译的单位 在翻译中，最小的翻译单位是什么？是篇章吗？是段落吗？是句子吗？是单词吗？甚至是音节吗？这是一个翻译理论家长期以来争论不休的一个话题。现在大多数翻译家、翻译理论家和翻译实践家都趋向于以篇章或者是整个问题为基本的翻译单位。但是，对于初学翻译的人来说，或者那些根本没有掌握翻译的人，要去应付一个翻译考试的时候，笔者认为，句子可能是最好的翻译单位。 什么是句子？或者具体说来，在汉英翻译中，要把汉语翻译成英语，究竟什么是英语的句子？ 柯林斯词典对英语句子的定义是这样的：A sentence is a group of words which，when they are written down，begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop，question mark or exclamation mark. Most sentences contain a subject and a verb.具体说来，英语的句子可以这样来定义：一个句子就是一组词，在书面语中，每一个句子首词的第一个字母大写，句末用句号、问号或者感叹号；大多数句子有主语和谓语。 根据英语句子的定义，我们可以清楚的知道，英语的句子中，大多数句子都有主语和谓语。那么汉英翻译，只要我们能把汉语转变成为准确通顺的英语，就需要搭建英语的主语和谓语等句式结构。而英语本身语法非常严谨，逻辑非常严密的特点，所以，在汉英翻译中，主语的确定和谓语的选择就是成功构建英语句式结构的关键，也是保证英语译文和汉语原文功能对等的关键。 2．确定汉语原文的主语为英语译文的主语 1）把汉语原文中的主语直接翻译成英语充当译文的主语，这是一种最简单、最可靠的对应方法，也是我们做汉英翻译“定主语”的时候首先应该考虑的方法。如： 例1．当前，国际形势正经历着自冷战结束以后最复杂、最深刻的变化。（中国

医学考博英语翻译习题 An AIDS Mystery Solved (1) About 15 years ago， a well-meaning man donated blood to the Red Cross in Sydney，Australia，not knowing he has been exposed to HIV-1，the virus that causes AIDS. Much later，public-health officials learned that some of the people who got transfusions? containing his blood had become infected with the same virus; presumably they were almost sure to die. But as six years stretched to 10，then to 14，the anxiety of health officials gave way to astonishment. Although two of the recipients have died from other causes，not one of the seven people known to have received transfusions of the man’s contaminated blood has come down with AIDS. More telling still，the donor，a sexually active homosexual，is also healthy. In fact his immune system remains as robust as if he had never tangled with HIV at all. What could explain such unexpected good fortune? (2) A team of Australian scientists has finally solved the mystery. The virus that the donor contracted and then passed on，the team reported last week in the journal Science. contains flaws in its genetic script that appear to have rendered it innocuous?. “Not only have the recipients and the donor not progressed to disease for 15 years，”marvels molecular biologist Nicholas Deacon of Australia’s Macfarlane Burnet Centre for Medical Re-search，“but the prediction is that they never will.”Deacon speculates that this “impotent”HIV may even be a natural inoculant? that protects its carriers against more virulent strains? of the virus，much as infection with cowpox warded off smallpox in 18th-century milkmaids. (3) If this ______ proves right，it will mark a milestone in the battle to contain the late-20th century’s most terrible epidemic. For in addition to explaining why this small group of people infected with HIV has not become sick，the discovery of a viral strain that works like a vaccine would have far-reaching implications. “What these results suggest，”says Dr. Barney Graham of Tennessee’s Vanderbilt University，“is that HIV is vulnerable and that it is possible to stimulate effective immunity against it.” (4) The strain of HIV that popped up? in Sydney intrigues scientists because it contains striking abnormalities in a gene that is believed to stimulate viral duplication. In fact，the virus is missing so much of this particular gene —known as nef，for negative factor —that it is hard to imagine how the gene could perform any useful function. And sure enough，while the Sydney virus retains the ability to infect T cells —white blood cells that are critical to the immune system’s ability to ward off infection —it makes so few copies of itself that the most powerful molecular tools can barely detect its presence. Some of the infected Australians，for example，were found to carry as few as one or two copies of the virus for every 100000 T cells. People with AIDS，by contrast，are burdened with viral loads thousands of times higher. (5) At the very least，the nef gene offers an attractive target for drug developers. If its activity can be blocked，suggests Deacon，researchers might be able to hold the progression of disease at bay，even in people who have developed full-blown AIDS. The need for better AIDS-fighting drugs was underscored last week by the actions of a U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panel，which recommended speedy approval of two new AIDS drugs，including the first of a new class of compounds called protease? inhibitors?. Although FDA commissioner David Kessler was quick to praise the new drugs，neither medication can prevent or cure AIDS once it has taken hold.

考博翻译的重要性 1、考博英语difficult。 2、考博翻译最难做。 （1）翻译是主观题。 （2）做翻译需要单词基础，语法基础，阅读基础和强大的汉语功底。 例：本次旅行有北京、上海等地。 This trip/travel/tour includes Beijing and Shanghai. （3）各所学校的命题非常不稳定。 汉译英 常见错误分析 多数事情是不能没有朋友而独自享受的，但是阅读却是可以的。 Few things can be enjoyed without friends，but reading is an exception. 中美贸易之所以能迅速发展，根本原因在于… 19世纪的精神生活比任何时代的精神生活都要复杂，这是由以下几个原因： 第一，有关地区比以前大了，美国和俄罗斯作出了重大贡献； 第二，一项新兴的事物的主要源泉的科学取得的新的胜利，特别是在生物学、有 机化学、地质学等方面。 The spiritual life is more complex than … 大自然对人的恩赐，无论贫富，一律平等，所以人们对大自然全部一致并深深地依赖着。尤其在乡间，上千年来，人们一直以不变的方式生活着：种植庄稼和葡萄，酿酒和饮酒，喂牛和挤奶，除草和栽花；在周末去教堂祈祷和做礼拜；在节日到广场拉琴、跳舞和唱歌……往日的田园依旧是今日的温馨家园。这样，每个地方都有自己的传说。风俗也就延传了下来。All people are blessed by nature，rich and poor alike.That account for their deep rooted attachment to her，especially in the countryside where their ways of life have been kept intact for thousands of years.They grow crops and grapes，brew the wine that they drink，raise cows for milk，and weed their garden for cultivation of flowers.On weekends they go to church，and on holidays they go to play music，while singing and dancing in open squares.Thus their olden homeland remain as sweet as ever each with a unique folk law from which its custom have derived. 容易犯的错误： 1. 词汇错误 词的理解偏差 词的上下搭配 各学校考博题目的来源，这对我当老师非常有用，但对你们学生没有多大作用 已经整理好的学校有：北航，北师大，财科所，首师大，政法，党校，中科院，人大，社科院，美院，民大，但对学生没有多大作用 你们学生需要的是句子分析，怎么去做翻译 考博的题并不比考研的题难，所以也可以做考研的题目来练习 2. 词语顺序的错误 3. 语篇错误
“Fat， dumb and happy，” commercial banks are being quickly replaced as financial intermediaries （1）What would happen to the U．S． economy if all its commercial banks suddenly closed their doors？ Throughout most of American history， the answer would have been a disaster of considerable proportions， akin to the Depression brought about by the chain－reaction bank failures in the early 1930s． But in 1993 the startling answer is that a shutdown by banks might be far from disastrous． （2）Consider this： though the economic recovery is now 27 months old， not a single net new dollar has been lent to business by banks in all that time． Last week the Federal Reserve reported that the amount of loans the nation’s largest banks have made to businesses fell an additional $2．4 billion in the week ending June 9， to $274．8 billion． Fearful that the scarcity of bank credit might undermine the fragile economy， the White House and federal agencies are working feverishly to encourage banks to open their lending windows． In the past two weeks， government regulators have introduced steps to make it easier for banks to lend． For instance，less paperwork will be needed to process loans， and formal appraisals are no longer required for every real estate loan． （3）Is the government’s concern fully justified？ Who really needs banks these days？ Hardly anyone， it turns out． While banks once dominated business lending， today nearly 80% of all such loans come from nonbank lenders like life insurers， brokerage firms and finance companies． Banks used to be the only source of money in town． Now businesses and individuals can write checks on their insurance companies， get a loan from a pension fund， and deposit paychecks in a money－market account with a brokerage firm．“It is possible for banks to die and still have a booming economy，” says Edward Furash， a Washington bank consultant． （4）The irony is that the accelerating slide into irrelevance comes just as the banks reaped record profits of $43 billion over the past 15 months， creating the impression that the industry is staging a comeback． But that income was not the result of smart lending decisions． Instead of earning money by financing America’s recovery， the banks mainly invested their funds — on which they were paying a bargain－basement 2% or so — in risk－free Treasury bonds that ______ 7%． That left bank officers with little to do except put their feet on their desks and watch the interest roll in．
我的一个好朋友最近接受了白血病测试。她对我说，最令人痛苦的折磨就是苦苦等待测试结果的那一周时间。我朋友说，她可能会学着直面坏结果。但真正让人煎熬焦虑的是那种茫然的感觉。 孟克(Edvard Munch)的名画《呐喊》哈佛大学心理学家吉尔伯特(Daniel Gilbert)不久前在《纽约时报》(New York Times)的专栏中写道，不知道要发生什么坏事比知道什么坏事要发生的感觉更糟。我们大多数人之所以会夜不能寐、抽烟发泄，并不是因为道琼斯指数要再跌1000点，而是因为我们不知道道指会不会下跌──不确定的感觉比不确定的事情本身更折磨人。【英文】 A close friend of mine recently underwent tests for leukemia. The most agonizing part of the ordeal, she said, was the week-long wait for the test results. A bad outcome she could learn to cope with, my friend said. It was the not knowing, the uncertainty, that was so difficult. 'People feel worse when something bad might occur than when something bad will occur,' wrote Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert in a recent New York Times op-ed. 'Most of us aren't losing sleep and sucking down Marlboros because the Dow is going to fall another thousand points, but because we don't know whether it will fall or not ─ and human beings find uncertainty more painful than the things they're uncertain about.'
