翻译原文： 其实我一点儿不排斥电脑，也享受着它的种种方便快捷，但每当我要给最亲近的人写信时还是喜欢用笔，因为我坚信字是有生命的，有情感的，在书写的同时，我生命的一部分也随之带走了，而打字则像是请人代笔，隔着一层什么，就像打电话时尽管你能清楚地听到对方的呼吸，可有些话就是怎么也说不出来，最后还是得借助笔纸，就是这么神奇，形式的不同、工具的不同，影响到内容的不同。 参考译文： Actually I do not reject the computer at all and alsoenjoy its every kind of conv enience.Butevery timewhen I want to write to my closet people,I would liketo u se a pen.Because I firmlybelieve that charactershave their life and emotion.Whe n writing,one part ofmy life is taking awaywith it.But typing is like hiring people t o write for you.It is separated bysomething just likealthough you can clearly he ar the breath of the addressee,some words youjust can't say themout at all.At la st you have to write with the help of pen and paper.It is somagic that differentfo rmats and different tools will influence the difference of context. 下面是2014年英语四级写作必备范文：出国留学。 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on t he topicStudying Abroad.

There are a great many advantages of studying overseas. First and foremost, liv ing andstudying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world. On a university campus,international students are likely to encounter their counte rparts from various countries andareas and are exposed to diverse ideas and v alues. What is more, overseas experience is thebest opportunity for the real-lif e use of foreign languages. There is no better opportunity toimprove second-la nguage skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and pe rhapspainful, the payoff is worthwhile. In the first place, in addition to knowle dge, overseasstudents can gain precious experiences that those who stay at ho me will never have.Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is conducive to thegrowth of adolescents. 参考译文： 目前，出国留学在年轻人中间非常流行。我们应该充分重视留学问题。 出国留学有很多好处。首先，国外生活和学习为学生提供了一个看待世界的不同视角。在大学校园中，国际学生很可能遇到来自不同国家和地区的同伴，并且面临迥异的观念和价值。此外，海外经历是外语在实际生活运用的最佳时机。没有什么比住在母语国家提高第二外语技能的更好机会了。 总之，我认为尽管出国留学很昂贵，并且可能会痛苦，但这种付出是值得的。首先，除了知识之外，留学生可以获得留在国内的学生永远无法获得的宝贵经验。其次，尽管留学经历可能使人沮丧痛苦，然而这对年轻人的成长是有益的。 翻译原文： 杭州是中国著名的六大古都之一，已有两千多年的历史。这个城市不仅以自然美闻名于世，而且有着传统的文化魅力。不仅有历代文人墨客的题咏，而且有美味佳肴和漂亮的工艺品。一般来说，游览杭州西湖及其周边景点花上两天较为合适。到杭州旅游，既令人愉快，又能得到文化享受。
翻译训练题（一） 在我的生活里，我也尝试过很多次试着放手。虽然，学会放手不会减轻生活里的伤痛或是改变什么，也不会让你的情绪得以发泄，也许你仍然会被生活所困。然而，富有同情心是一种释放。会让你和感受到你同情心的人得到精神上的洗礼。当你对一切都富有同情心时，你会发挥自己最大潜力。你也会在生活中觉得自己有无限的正能量。 在我的生活里，我也尝试过很多次试着放手。 I'm learning to do that a lot in this life, to let go. 大家是不是觉得很奇怪，明明汉语里倾向于过去式“尝试过”，但英文翻译过来就是I'm learning to do。可以留意下这种翻译方式，不过如果大家在考试时遇到这种情况，还是翻译成过去式比较好（如果你的翻译水平没有达到炉火纯青的地步的话，呵呵），因为阅卷老师也不是那种翻译大牛哦~ 放手：to let go 虽然，学会放手不会减轻生活里的伤痛或是改变什么，也不会让你的情绪得以发泄，也许你仍然会被生活所困。 It doesn't help to hang on to the hurt or judgment. It doesn't work to blame or criticize. Those approaches only serve to keep you stuck. 这里两个英文句子都用了形式主语it来代替前面提到过的“放手”，不繁琐，而且适合散文的风格。汉语只要语义衔接，可一直逗号下去，但英文，只要是结构完整，只能用句号或相应的标点哦。 减轻伤痛：to help to hang on to the hurt
