英译汉：从10个terms里面挑5个translate and define them briefly in Chinese(共15分，一个3分）
1added value tax
增值税
增值税是以商品（含应税劳务）在流转过程中产生的增值额作为计税依据而征收的一种流转税。从计税原理上说，增值税是对商品生产、流通、劳务服务中多个环节的新增价值或商品的附加值征收的一种流转税。实行价外税，也就是由消费者负担，有增值才征税没增值不征税。2annual financial report
年度财务报告
年度财务报告是指年度终了对外提供的财务报告。通常将半年度，季度和月度财务报告统称为中期财务会计报告。年度财务报告作为综合反映企业单位年末财务状况、全年经营成果和现金流量的报告，在沟通企业单位管理层与财务会计报告使用者之间起着十分重要的桥梁作用。3bull market
牛市，旺市；多头市场。
牛市，旺市指交易旺盛的市场形势，和"淡市'相对。
多头市场又称买空市场，是指股价的基本趋势持续上升时形成的投机者不断买进证券，需求大于供给的市场现象。
4law of diminishing marginal returns
边际收益递减规律
又称边际效益递减规律，或边际产量递减规律，指在短期生产过程中，在其他条件不变（如技术水平不变）的前提下，增加某种生产要素的投入，当该生产要素投入数量增加到一定程度以后，增加一单位该要素所带来的效益增加量是递减的，边际收益递减规律是以技术水平和其他生产要素的投入数量保持不变为条件的条件下进行讨论的一种规律。
5angel investment
天使投资
是权益资本投资的一种形式，是指富有的个人出资协助具有专门技术或独特概念的原创项目或小型初创企业，进行一次性的前期投资。
它是风险投资的一种形式，在根据天使投资人的投资数量以及对被投资企业可能提供的综合资源进行投资。
6capital turnover
资本周转
资本周转指不断重复、周而复始的资本循环过程。资本必须在运动中才能实现其价值增殖，这种运动不能孤立地循环一次便停下来，而必须持续不断地周期性地进行。产业资本连续不断、周而复始的循环。资本必须在运动中才能实现其价值增值，这种运动不能孤立地循环一次便停下来，而必须持续不断地周期性地进行。这样的资本循环，叫做资本周转。
7butterfly effect
蝴蝶效应
蝴蝶效应是指在一个动力系统中，初始条件下微小的变化能带动整个系统的长期的巨大的连锁反应。这是一种混沌现象。任何事物发展均存在定数与变数，事物在发展过程中其发展轨迹有规律可循，同时也存在不可测的“变数”，一个微小的变化能影响事物的发展，说明事物的发展具有复杂性。
8calling center
呼叫中心
呼叫中心是充分利用现代通讯与计算机技术，如IVR（交互式语音800呼叫中心流程图应答系统）、ACD（自动呼叫分配系统）等等，可以自动灵活地处理大量各种不同的电话呼入和呼出业务和服务的运营操作场所。呼叫中心在企业应用中已经逐渐从电话营销中心向着
CTI（计算机通信集成）综合呼叫中心转变，已经将电话、计算机、互联网等多种媒介综合应用于营销、服务等等多项工作当中。呼叫中心就是在一个相对集中的场所，由一批服务人员组成的服务机构，通常利用计算机通讯技术，处理来自企业、顾客的垂询与咨询需求。以电话咨询为例，具备同时处理大量来话的能力，还具备主叫号码显示，可将来电自动分配给具备相应技能的人员处理，并能记录和储存所有来话信息。一个典型的以客户服务为主的呼叫中心可以兼具呼入与呼出功能，当处理顾客的信息查询、咨询、投诉等业务的同时，可以进行顾客回访、满意度调查等呼出业务。
9SWOT analysis
四点（优势、劣势、机会、威胁）分析
SWOT分析方法是一种企业内部分析方法，即根据企业自身的既定内在条件进行分析，找出企业的优势、劣势及核心竞争力之所在，从而将公司的战略与公司内部资源、外部环境有机结合。其中，S代表strength(优势)，W代表weakness(弱势)，O代表opportunity(机会)，T
代表threat(威胁)，其中，S、W是内部因素，O、T是外部因素。按照企业竞争战略的完整概念，战略应是一个企业“能够做的”（即组织的强项和弱项）和“可能做的”（即环境的机会和威胁）之间的有机组合。
意义：帮您清晰地把握全局，分析自己在资源方面的优势与劣势，把握环境提供的机会，防范可能存在的风险与威胁，对我们的成功有非常重要的意义。
10business model
商业模式
商业模式，是管理学的重要研究对象之一，MBA、EMBA
等主流商业管理课程均对“商业模式”给予了不同程度的关注。在分析商业模式过程中，主要关注一类企业在市场中与用户、供应商、其他合作伙伴的关系，尤其是彼此间的物流、信息流和资金流。

1联合国贸发会议
United Nations Conference on Trade and Development
（UNCTAD)Established in1964,the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD)promotes the development-friendly integration of developing countries into the world economy.UNCTAD has progressively evolved into an authoritative knowledge-based institution whose work aims to help shape current policy debates and thinking on development,with a particular focus on ensuring that domestic policies and international action are mutually supportive in bringing about sustainable development.
或者
The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development(UNCTAD)was established in 1964as a permanent intergovernmental body.UNCTAD is the principal organ of the United Nations General Assembly dealing with trade,investment,and development issues.The organization's goals are to:"maximize the trade,investment and development opportunities of developing countries and assist them in their efforts to integrate into the world economy on an equitable basis."The primary objective of UNCTAD is to formulate policies relating to all aspects of development including trade,aid, transport,finance and technology.The conference ordinarily meets once in four years; the permanent secretariat is in Geneva.
2普惠制
Generalised System of Preferences
（GSP)The Generalized System of Preferences,or GSP,is a preferential tariff system which provides for a formal system of exemption from the more general rules of the World Trade Organization(WTO),(formerly,the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade or GATT).Specifically,it's a system of exemption from the most favored nation principle(MFN)that obliges WTO member countries to treat the imports of all other WTO member countries no worse than they treat the imports of their"most favored" trading partner.In essence,MFN requires WTO member countries to treat imports coming from all other WTO member countries equally,that is,by imposing equal tariffs on them,etc.GSP exempts WTO member countries from MFN for the purpose of lowering tariffs for the least developed countries,without also lowering tariffs for rich countries 3北美自由贸易协定
North American Free Trade Agreement
（NAFTA)The North American Free Trade Agreement(NAFTA)is an agreement signed by Canada,Mexico,and the United States,creating a trilateral rules-based trade bloc in North America.The agreement came into force on January1,1994.It superseded the Canada–United States Free Trade Agreement between the U.S.and Canada.NAFTA has two supplements:the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation(NAAEC)and
the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation(NAALC).In terms of combined purchasing power parity GDP of its members,as of2013the trade bloc is the largest in the world as well as by nominal GDP comparison.
4口碑
word of mouth，
public praise Word of mouth is the passing of information from person to person by oral communication,which could be as simple as telling someone the time of day. Storytelling is a common form of word-of-mouth communication where one person tells others a story about a real event or something made up.Oral tradition is cultural material and traditions transmitted by word of mouth through successive generations. Storytelling and oral tradition are forms of word of mouth that play important roles in folklore and mythology.Another example of oral communication is oral history —the recording,preservation and interpretation of historical information,based on the personal experiences and opinions of the speaker.Oral history preservation is the field that deals with the care and upkeep of oral history materials collected by word of mouth,whatever format they may be in.
5汇票
bill of exchange A bill of exchange or"draft"is a written order by the drawer to the drawee to pay money to the payee.A common type of bill of exchange is the cheque (check in American English),defined as a bill of exchange drawn on a banker and payable on demand.Bills of exchange are used primarily in international trade,and are written orders by one person to his bank to pay the bearer a specific sum on a specific date. Prior to the advent of paper currency,bills of exchange were a common means of exchange. They are not used as often today.6
6倾销
dumping In economics,"dumping"is a kind of predatory pricing,especially in the context of international trade.It occurs when manufacturers export a product to another country at a price either below the price charged in its home market or below
its cost of production.7
7利基营销
niche marketing Niche marketing is marketing a product or service in a small portion of a market that is not being readily served by the main stream product or service providers.Nearly everything we take for granted–from the fast food chains, convenience stores,even Wal-Mart
–began as a business to fill perceived voids in the market place.These“niches”can be geographic areas,a specialty industry,a demographic or ethnic group,a specific gender group,or other special group of people.
8特许经营
Franchising Franchising is the practice of the right to use a firm's successful business model and brand for a prescribed period of time.The word"franchise"is of Anglo-French derivation—from franc,meaning free—and is used both as a noun and as a(transitive)verb.For the franchiser,the franchise is an alternative to building "chain stores"to distribute goods that avoids the investments and liability of a chain. The franchisor's success depends on the success of the franchisees.The franchisee is said to have a greater incentive than a direct employee because he or she has a direct stake in the business.Essentially,and in terms of distribution,the franchisor is a supplier who allows an operator,or a franchisee,to use the supplier's trademark and distribute the supplier's goods.In return,the operator pays the supplier a fee. Thirty three countries—including the United States and Australia—have laws that explicitly regulate franchising,with the majority of all other countries having laws which have a direct or indirect
impact on franchising.
9市场细分
market segmentation Market segmentation is a marketing strategy that involves dividing a broad target market into subsets of consumers,businesses,or countries who have common needs and priorities,and then designing and implementing strategies
to target them.Market segmentation strategies may be used to identify the target customers,and provide supporting data for positioning to achieve a marketing plan objective.Businesses may develop product differentiation strategies,or an undifferentiated approach,involving specific products or product lines depending on the specific demand and attributes of the target segment.
10对等贸易
counter trade Counter trade means exchanging goods or services which are paid for, in whole or part,with other goods or services,rather than with money.A monetary valuation can however be used in counter trade for accounting purposes.In dealings between sovereign states,the term bilateral trade is used.OR"Any transaction involving exchange of goods or service for something of equal value."

英译汉原文
When You Move,I Move:Increasing Synchronization Among Asia’
s Economies In recent decades,trade integration within Asia has increased more than in other regions.In valued-added terms,intraregional trade grew on average by over10percent a year from1990to2012,twice the pace seen outside of Asia.Likewise, financial integration within the region has started to catch up,although it still lags behind trade integration.Concomitantly,business cycles in Asia have become steadily more synchronized over the past two decades,with the correlation between ASEAN economies’growth rates almost reaching the very high levels seen within the Euro Area.As outlined in the IMF Asia and Pacific Department
’s latest Regional Economic Outlook,these facts are https://www.doczj.com/doc/906740616.html,ly,increases in trade and financial integration have strengthened the propagation of growth shocks between regional partners,leading Asian economies to move more in lockstep.One driver of this synchronization of business cycles has been the increase in size and connectedness of China’s economy.Looking ahead,we expect regional integration agenda
and a bigger China to further increase spillovers and growth co-movement across the region.
Greater international cooperation,particularly regional and global financial safety nets,can help countries respond to the associated risk of more synchronized,sharper downturns,and thereby help Asia make the most of greater regional integration. Trade integration has been an important synchronizing force for Asian business cycles On the trade side,our study brings a novel finding:what makes two economies co-move —by propagating shocks across borders
—is the intensity of their bilateral trade in value-added terms,not in gross terms. The iPhone supply chain example illustrates why this makes sense:although China exports the product to the US,its domestic firms add only a small fraction of the overall value added,so that gross exports vastly over-estimate the dependence of the Chinese economy on final demand from American consumers.The reverse holds for Korea or Taiwan POC,which reap sizeable value added through exports of components to China even though they don’t export any iPhones to the US.Overall,the trend increase in the value-added traded between Asian economies over the past two decades has accounted for around one-quarter of the concomitant increase in business cycle synchronization across the region.Financial integration has been a more ambivalent force.Across the world,it has magnified the impact on business cycle synchronization of large global shocks like the global financial crisis,as global banks pulled
funds back across the board.But in normal times,it has lowered synchronization somewhat,possibly by facilitating international reallocation of capital when a shock hits one country.However,this has been less of a factor in Asia,where cross-border financial claims and flows have so far been comparatively small.
英译汉的译文
亦步亦趋：亚洲经济体的同步性不断增强
近几十年来，亚洲贸易一体化的步伐大于其他地区。以增加值计算，
1990年至2012年，亚洲区域内贸易平均每年增长10%以上，增速是亚洲之外地区的两倍。同
样，该地区的金融一体化也开始赶超，但仍落后于贸易一体化。伴随而来的是，过去二十年里，亚洲地区的商业周期的同步性稳步上升，东盟各经济体增长率的关联度几乎达到了欧元区内的极高水平。
正如基金组织亚太部最新一期《地区经济展望》所述，上述情况是相互关联的，即，贸易与金融一体化的发展推动了区域伙伴之间增长冲击的传播，导致亚洲经济体的步伐愈发一致。中国经济的规模扩大和对外关联度增强是商业周期同步化的一个驱动因素。展望未来，我们预计区域一体化行动和中国的发展将进一步加强该地区的溢出效应和增长联动性。加强国际合作，尤其是区域和全球金融安全网方面的合作，有助于各国应对更同步的、更急剧的经济下滑风险，进而使亚洲能从深化区域一体化中获得最大的收益。
贸易一体化是亚洲商业周期同步化增强的重要驱动因素
在贸易方面，我们的研究得出了一个新颖的观点，即，导致两个经济体（通过跨境传播冲击进行）联动的因素是以增加值衡量的双边贸易规模，而非总值衡量的规模。苹果手机供应链的例子可以很好地解释这个道理。虽然中国向美国出口产品，但国内企业获得的增加值仅为总体增加值的一小部分，因此按总出口来衡量的话会大大高估中国经济对美国消费者最终需求的依赖性。韩国或中国台湾的情况则正相反：即便他们不向美国出口任何苹果手机，但可通过向中国出口配件来获取丰厚的增加值。总体上来看，亚洲商业周期同步性的增幅中，约有四分之一是因为过去二十年里亚洲经济体之间贸易增加值的趋势增长。
金融一体化则是一股更具矛盾的力量。在全球范围内，由于危机期间全球性银行全面收回资金，金融一体化加剧了诸如国际金融危机这种大规模全球冲击对商业周期同步性的影响。但在正常时期，金融一体化导致同步性有所下降，其途径可能是：在冲击影响某一国时，金融一体化会促进资本在全球的再分配。然而，金融一体化对亚洲的影响不大，因为该地区跨境金融债权和流动的规模至今相对较小。

我国人口老龄化对经济增长的潜在影响理论研究认为,老龄化会减少劳动力供给,降低社会储蓄率,导致产出和资本形成能力下降,最终影响经济增长。同时,发达国家的实际表明,随着人口老龄化,养老费用及人均医疗费用均会大幅上升,加重政府财政负担。与发达国家“富

对经济增长的影响日益明显。一是未来劳动力供给减少和成本上升,将不利于企业尤其是劳动密集型企业发展。二是老年抚养比淤上升将影响居民储蓄数量和储蓄倾向,并通过降低企业利润间接影响企业储蓄行为。储蓄下降将减少投资资金来源,并影响资金价格。三是加重财政支出负担。与发达国家相比,我国社会保障水平较低,养老保险和医疗保险面临资金紧张、覆盖面窄等问题,许多地方存在养老金缺口。随着我国社会保障体系逐渐完善,养老金水平不断提高,医疗保障覆盖面扩大,未来老龄化所带来的财政支出将大幅增长,财政压力随之增大。人口老龄化将是我国需要面对的一个长期问题,应加快采取相关应对措施,继续推进新型城镇化建设和区域经济协调发展,进一步推动农村剩余劳动力的转移和就业。加大人力资本投入,提高劳动者素质。大力促进科技创新,实现产业结构优化升级,通过技术进步来弥补劳动力优势的逐步丧失。加快健全社会保障体系,继续扩大养老保险和医疗保险覆盖面,逐步提高社会保障水平。

The Potential Impact of China’s Aging Population on Its Economic Growth
Theoretical studies suggest that aging population will reduce labor supply,reduce the social saving rate,result in reduced output and capital formation,and ultimately affect economic growth.Meantime,the experiences of developed countries show that with aging population,expenditure for the elder and per capital health care will rise sharply,adding to the fiscal https://www.doczj.com/doc/906740616.html,pared with“synchronization of getting rich and becoming an aged society”or“becoming a rich society before getting older”, China’s per capita income is still relatively low,and China’s situation belongs to“becoming an aged society before getting rich”,and its impact on economic growth is increasingly evident.First,in the future,declining labor supply and rising labor cost will have a negative impact on the corporate sector,especially labor-intensive enterprises.Second,the rising elder dependency ratio will affect households’saving amount and the propensity to save,and indirectly affect corporate saving behaviors by depressing corporate profits.The decline in savings will reduce the source of
investment funds,and in turn affect the price of funds.Third,aging population will add to fiscal https://www.doczj.com/doc/906740616.html,pared with developed countries,China’s social security level is relatively low,both the pension funds and medical insurance system face the problems of insufficient funding and inadequate coverage,and there are shortfalls in many localities.As China’s social security system is gradually improved,the level of pensions continues to rise,and the health insurance coverage expands,in the future fiscal expenditures resulting from aging population will grew rapidly,adding to increasing fiscal pressures.Since population aging is a long-term issue in China, measures should be taken continuously to promote urbanization and balanced regional economic development,and to facilitate the transfer and reemployment of surplus labor in the rural area.Furthermore the following measures should be taken:increase human capital input,and improve labor quality;vigorously promote technological innovation and upgrade industrial structure to offset the gradual loss of labor advantage via technological progress;accelerate the building of the social security system,and continue to expand the coverage of pension funds and medical insurances to gradually upgrade the social security level.
2015翻译硕士考研英语翻译宝典：被动语态
汉语中的被动句不占优势。英文中大部分的被动句都可以译为汉语的主动句，只有在强调被动意义时才使用被动句。但是在汉语的主动句中，有的在逻辑上是被动句，如："文章写完了"。在这样的句子中，主语不是谓语的动作施行者，而是承受者。汉译时应该灵活采取相应的形式。此外，汉语本身特有一些表示被动的语言手段可以加以利用。为了使译文符合汉语习惯，翻译被动句时，常常可以用以下几种方法：
(1)将被动句译成主动句，有时外加泛指人称代词"人们"，"有人"，"大家"，"我们"做主语。Rubber is found to be a good isolating material.
译文：人们发现，橡胶是一种良好的绝缘材料。
The area has been marked out for building more hotels.
译文：人们划出这块地区用于建造更多的旅店。
(2)译成汉语中的无主句。
若根据上下文或特定情景，对行为主体一目了然，或者出于礼貌和婉转起见，可以采用这种译法。
The amount of carbon monoxide that an engine gives off can be reduced by special devices designed to make the engine burn the fuel more efficiently.
译文：使发动机更有效地燃烧燃料而设计的特殊装置可以降低发动机一氧化碳的排放量。Additional International Standards may be added to the series in the future.
译文：将来还可能对本系列标准增加若干项国际标准。
(3)被动句的主语仍译为主动句的主语。
The car was severely damaged beyond any means of repair while the driver was safe and sound.
译文：汽车损坏严重，已无法修理，而驾车者却安然无恙。
The discovery is highly appreciated in the circle of science.
译文：此项发现得到科学界的高度评价。(或：科学界对此项发现给予高度评价。)
(4)把by后动作的执行者做主语，英文原句中的主语做宾语。
The result of the invention of the steam engine was that human power was replaced by mechanical power.
译文：蒸汽机发明的结果是机械力代替了人力。
What measures have been or are being adopted by the government to reduce air pollution?
译文：政府已经采取或正在采取哪些措施去降低空气的污染程度呢?
(5)改译成汉语的判断句，即带表语的主动句。
如"是由…"、"是因…"、"是在…"等等。被动语态是表示一种状态时可以译成汉语的判断句型。My first forty years were spent in Southern Europe.
译文：我的前四十年在南欧度过。
These machines are operated by a worker only.
译文：这些机器只由一名工人操纵。
(6)译成正常的被动句，以突出被动意义。
这不仅包括被字句，还包括汉语特有的表示被动的手段，如"受、被、叫、挨、让、给、遭、由、为、为…所…、把、加以、使"等等都可以表示被动意义。
In industry,natural materials difficult to get are often replaced by plastics.
译文：在工业中，不易获得的天然材料常常被塑料代替。
Over the years,tools and technology themselves as a source of fundamental innovation have largely been ignored by historians and philosophers of science.
译文：工具和技术本身作为根本性创新的源泉，多年来在很大程度上被历史学家和科学的思想家忽视了。
Problems should be resolved in good time.
译文：问题应该及时加以解决。
The ApolloⅫcrew reported that their spaceship was being followed by two UFOs.译文：阿波罗十二号的宇航员曾报告说，它们的宇宙飞船正遭到两个不明飞行物的跟踪。(用"遭到")
For separating iron from the impurities the iron ore must be melted.译文：为了使铁跟杂质分离，铁矿石必须经过冶炼。

1990 年英译汉试题 People have wondered for a long time how their personalities，and behaviors are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not，or why one is cooperative and another is competitive. Social scientists are，of course，extremely interested in these types of questions. (61)They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet，but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect，the two approaches are very different from each other. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as‖nature vs. nurture‖. (62)Those who support the ―nature‖side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological factors. (63)That our environment has little， if anything，to do with our abilities，characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme，this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts. Those who support the ―nurture‖ theory，that is，they advocate education，are often called behaviorists. They claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist，B.F. Skinner，sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists maintain that，like machines，humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior. Let us examine the different explanations about one human characteristic，intelligence， offered by the two theories. Supporters of the ―nature‖theory insist that we are born with a certain capacity for learning that is biologically determined. Needless to say，they don‘t believe that factors in the environment have much influence on what is basically a predetermined characteristic. On the other hand，behaviorists argue that our intelligence levels are the product of our experiences. (64)Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development. The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States， blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some ―nature‖ proponents to conclude that blacks are biologically inferior to whites. (65)Behaviorists，in contrast， say that differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy. Most people think neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. 1991 年英译汉试题 The fact is that the energy crisis，which has suddenly been officially announced，has been with us for a long time now，and will be with us for an even longer time. Whether Arab oil flows freely or not，it is clear to everyone that world industry cannot be allowed to depend on so fragile a base. (71)The supply of oil can be shut off unexpectedly at any time，and in any case，the oil wells will all run dry in thirty years or so at the present rate of use. (72)New sources of energy must be found，and this will take time，but it is not likely to result in any situation that will ever restore that sense of cheap and plentiful energy we have had in the times past. For an indefinite period from here on，mankind is going to advance cautiously，and consider itself lucky that it can advance at all. To make the situation worse，there is as yet no sign that any slowing of the world‘s population is in sight. Although the birthrate has dropped in some nations，including the United States，the population of the world seems sure to pass six billion and perhaps even seven billion as the twenty-first century opens. (73)The food supply will not increase nearly enough to match this，which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of producing and marketing food. Taking all this into account，what might we reasonably estimate supermarkets to be like in the year2001? To begin with，the world food supply is going to become steadily tighter over the next thirty years—even here in the United States.By2001，the population of the United States will be at least two hundred fifty million and possibly two hundred seventy million，and the nation will find it difficult to expand food production to fill the additional mouths. (74)This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in the high energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields. It seems almost certain that by2001the United States will no longer be a great food exporting nation and that，if necessity forces exports，it will be at the price of belt tightening at home. In fact，as food items will end to decline in quality and decrease in variety，there is very likely to be increasing use of flavouring additives. (75)Until such time as mankind has the sense to lower its population

Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration—one of the great folk wanderings of history—swept from Europe to America. 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe. Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world. 48) But, the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible. But the result was a new social pattern which, although it resembled European society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American. 49) The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the 15th- and 16th-century explorations of North America. In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. During their six- to twelve-week voyage, they subsisted on barely enough food allotted to them. Many of the ship were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease, and infants rarely survived the journey. Sometimes storms blew the vessels far off their course, and often calm brought unbearably long delay. “To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brou ght almost inexpressible relief.” said one recorder of events, “The air at twelve leagues’ distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.” The colonists’ first glimpse of the new land was a sight of dense woods. 50) The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a veritable real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia. Here was abundant fuel and lumber. Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores. 思路： 1.大致介绍文章主要内容 2. 逐段介绍每段的主要内容→分析句子结构→指出翻译时需要注意的点→试译→整理译文→总结翻译技巧和需掌握的单词

(15 points) Most people would define optimism as endlessly happ y, 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 that happen, but not those who believe everything happens for the best. Ben-Shalar uses three optimistic exercisers. When he feels down-sag, after giving a bad lecture-he grants himself permission to be human. He reminds himself that mot every lecture can be a Nobel winner; some will be less effective than others. Next is reconstruction, He analyzes the weak lecture, leaning lessons, for the future about what works and wh at doesn’t. Final ly, there is perspective, which involves acknowledging that in the ground scheme of life, one lecture really doesn’t matter. 翻译 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，会尽最大努力做好一件事，而不是相信每件事都会有最好的结果。 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

常用翻译技巧总结 翻译题里考察三方面内容： 1、专有名词(如operational research expert)、习惯用法(如depend on)及多义词的翻译(如school、set的多义) 2、一般性翻译技巧:包括词义选择，词序调整，词性转换和增词法等等 3、具体句型(定从、状从、主从、宾从、表从、同位从、强调结构、并列、比较、倒装、插入、被动、否定等) 其中2、3是大考点，具体内容可在论坛下XDF的翻译笔记来看，在此不赘述。 可看出，应对翻译题的主要武器是翻译技巧，下面正式进入正题(常用方法、被动语态译法、形容词译法、举例详解) 一、常用方法 二、 英汉两种语言在句法、词汇、修辞等方面均存在着很大的差异，因此在进行英汉互译时必然会遇到很多困难，需要有一定的翻译技巧作指导。常用的翻译技巧有增译法、省译法、转换法、拆句法、合并法、正译法、反译法、倒置法、包孕法、插入法、重组法和综合法等。这些技巧不但可以运用于笔译之中，也可以运用于口译过程中，而且应该用得更加熟练。 1增译法：指根据英汉两种语言不同的思维方式、语言习惯和表达方式，在翻译时增添一些词、短句或句子，以便更准确地表达出原文所包含的意义。这种方式多半用在汉译英里。汉语无主句较多，而英语句子一般都要有主语，所以在翻译汉语无主句的时候，除了少数可用英语无主句、被动语态或“There be…”结构来翻译以外，一般都要根据语境补出主语，使句子完整。英汉两种语言在名词、代词、连词、介词和冠词的使用方法上也存在很大差别。英语中代词使用频率较高，凡说到人的器官和归某人所有的或与某人有关的事物时，必须在前面加上物主代词。因此，在汉译英时需要增补物主代词，而在英译汉时又需要根据情况适当地删减。英语词与词、词组与词组以及句子与句子的逻辑关系一般用连词来表示，而汉语则往往通过上下文和语序来表示这种关系。因此，在汉译英时常常需要增补连词。英语句子离不开介词和冠词。另外，在翻译时还要注意增补一些原文中暗含而没有明言的词语和一些概括性、注释性的词语，以确保译文意思的完整。总之，通过增译，一是保证译文语法结构的完整，二是保证译文意思的明确。如： (1) What about calling him right away? 马上给他打个电话，你觉得如何？(增译主语和谓语) (2) If only I could see the realization of the four modernizations. 要是我能看到四个现代化实现该有多好啊！(增译主句) (3) Indeed, the reverse is true 实际情况恰好相反。(增译名词) (4)就是法西斯国家本国的人民也被剥夺了人权。 Even the people in the fascist countries were stripped of their human rights.(增译物主代词) (5)只许州官放火，不许百姓点灯。 While the magistrates were free to burn down house, the common people were forbidden to light

2015考研英语二翻译真题解析 英语二的翻译一直应该是考生应该得分的题目，今年的题目总体来说与去年相当，甚至略微简单，文章来自心理学网站https://www.doczj.com/doc/906740616.html,。节选标题为“The Well-Travelled Road Effect: Why Familiar Routes Fly By”的一篇文章，经过命题人改编，共156个词，有8句话，符合英语二翻译模式与难度。所以文章长度基本保持不变，内容涉及领域为心理学，共三段，长短句相间，短句较多，涉及知识点有表语从句、宾语从句、原因状语从句、时间状语从句。但是都较为简单。考生只要在考前进行过一定数量的段落练习。相信翻译是考生争取拿分的题目。 继去年一篇积极心理学的文章后，今年又出了一篇心理方面的文章，但是专业程度不强，所以对学生来说还是很容易接受的。 首先文章中阐释的一种心理现象是“well-travelled road effect”是考生们不熟悉的一个词语，但是通过全文阅读会发现，这是人们生活中一种常见的现象，所以考生可以自己进行总结，而且这个中心词中没有出现生词，所以对于考生来说还是比较简单的。 其它稍微可能有难度的词语为commute：通勤;perceive：察觉;well-travelled road effect： 熟悉路线效应;underestimate：低估;route：道路;allocate：分配，掌握了这些词汇，应该就没有大问题了。 下面来分析其中稍微有难度的句子。 Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. 【解析】首先“twist and turn”的意思是迂回曲折，具体到路上表示的就是指道路的拐弯、曲折。其次“know sth like the back of your hand”的英文释义为： to have very good and detailed knowledge of something，即对某件事情非常了解、了如指掌。 【翻译】不管是哪一条路，你对每一个拐每一个弯都了如指掌，非常熟悉。 文中包括一个以上从句的句子有The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.这是由一个表语从句和宾语从句组成的复合句，但是都可以直接按顺序翻译，所以不涉及翻译技巧。 其他句子较简单，在此不做详解，下附全文翻译： 设想一下，你正开车行驶在一条非常熟悉的路线上。可能是你每天上下班、去城里、或是回家的路。不管是哪一条路，你对每一个拐每一个弯都了如指掌，非常熟悉。在这样的路途中，我们容易在开车的时候心不在焉，对途中的景色也几乎是全然不顾。如此一来，你会觉得路上所花的时间比实际要少。 这就是“熟悉路线效应”：人们往往会低估行驶在熟悉的路上所花费的时间。 这一效应由我们分配精力的方式引起。当行驶在熟悉的路上时，由于我们不用太过集中精力，时间似乎飞逝而过。 随后，我们回想行车过程时，由于我们没有过多关注，所以对行车的印象也很模糊。因
