大学英语四级翻译冲刺：四个注意事项
导读：本文大学英语四级翻译冲刺：四个注意事项，仅供参考，如果觉得很不错，欢迎点评和分享。
1. 注意时态
汉语当中多主动，英语当中多被动。
2. 注意用词
翻译重点考察语言的应用能力，所以在考试时，应尽量避免使用一些过于简单的词汇，而应选择一些更高级的词汇。比如"have to"可以换成"be obliged to"，"help to"可以换成"contribute to"。
3. 注意搭配
这里的搭配主要指一些固定搭配。比如“学习知识”不用"learn knowledge"，而必须用"acquire knowledge";"concern"后面的介词必须跟"over"而不是"of"等等。
下面给大家总结出了常见的一些搭配:
动词和名词的搭配：raise awareness, adopt measures, take steps, adopt approaches
动词词组的搭配：give a green light to, deepen one’s understanding of, pave the way for
形容词和名词的搭配：compelling reason, ample evidence, harsh punishment 名词词组搭配：environmental awareness, coverage of crime, health effect
介宾短语的搭配：in the media, on the internet, on television, in newspapers
表示某个特定意思的习惯搭配：
lead a fulfilling life, close the rich/poor gap, discriminate between right and
wrong，have a higher chance of developing cancer, fail to achieve work-life balance 避免中式英文的直接翻译：
improve the problem →solve the problem or improve the situation
contact with violence→exposure to violence
advertisements about children→advertisements aimed at children.
4. 注意变通词汇
另辟蹊径，试着用几个词去解释自己突然想不起的单词或者找同义词，近义词来替换。
如“匿名”对应的单词是"anonymity"，可以用"a unknown name"来代替。”美化”对应的单词“beautify”,可以用“make sth more beautiful”来代替。
附：翻译高频模板句
①________ has / enjoys a history of ________. (用于介绍历史)
②_________ was popular / widespread. (用于介绍流行程度)
③________ be used to do sth.(表示用途)
④_________ stand for / symbolize / signify ___________.(某物象征了……)
⑤____________ is given as a present to sb.(馈赠)
⑥________ is well-known as / famous for/ noted for ________. (以……著称/ 有名)
⑦一般：__________ start / begin from…to _________(从……延续到……)
更优：__________ run from …to_________(从……延续到……)
英语四级翻译常用词汇：123个中文高频成语翻译 Automation 1502 YuDeyu 一、复习建议： 1. 加强历史、文化、经济以及社会发展相关热词的积累 2. 广撒网，学习、揣摩这些话题相关的难点单句训练 做这些单句训练时，先阅读1遍整个段落，专门挑出自己觉得比较难翻的句子，然后重点练习这一句的翻译。难句会了，简单句自然不在话下。 在做单句翻译时，先尝试自己翻，翻完以后，对照答案，看解析，总结和揣摩其中好的 词汇和表达。下面请大家跟着教研君给出的常考单句示例，具体学习吧~ 1. 对于大多数年轻人来说，结婚意味着独立组建家庭，然而物价的不断上涨使这一切 变得越来越困难。 参考译文：For most young people, marriage means s etting up a family independently, which has become increasingly difficult because of the constantly rising prices. 词汇点评： 组建家庭：set up a family。有同学容易使用start a family。start a family表示begin to have children“开始生儿育女”。 越来越：一般看到“越来越”大家习惯译为more and more，比如“越来越多的人”more and more people，但译为 a growing number of people可令人眼前为之一亮；而表达“变 得越来越”的含义时，使用become increasingly的译法更好。 物价的不断上涨：constantly rising prices，而不是price rising。 表达点评： 本句是一个表转折关系的并列句，后半句中的“物价的不断上涨使这一切……”中的“这一切”指代前半句中提到的“结婚意味着独立组建家庭”，因此，用which引导的非限制性定语从句，让整个句子简洁明了。 使字句的翻译：“物价的不断上涨”是“这一切变得困难”的原因，因此处理为原因状 语，用because of…来带出原因。 2. 过去十年中国房地产（real estate）行业高速发展。 参考译文：The past decade has witnessed a high-speed development in China's real estate. 词汇点评： 十年：decade 高速发展：develop rapidly; high-speed development 表达点评：

12月大学英语四级考试翻译题目 许多人喜欢中餐，在中国，烹饪不但被视为一种技能，而且也被视为一种艺术。精心准备的中餐既可口又好看，烹饪技艺和配料在中国各地差别很大。但好的烹饪都有一个共同点，总是要考虑到颜色、味道、口感和营养(nutrition)。由于食物对健康至关重要，好的厨师总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜之间取得平衡，因此中餐既味美又健康。 Most people like Chinese food.

"你要茶还是咖啡?"是用餐人常被问到的问题，许多西方人会选咖啡，而中国人则会选茶，相传，中国的一位帝王于五千年前发现了茶，并用来治病，在明清(the qing dynasties)期间，茶馆遍布全国，饮茶在六世纪传到日本，但直到18世纪才传到欧美，如今，茶是世界上最流行的饮料(beverage)之一，茶是中国的瑰宝。也是中国传统和文化的重要组成部分。 "Would you like tea or coffee?"

Tea drinking spread to Japan in the 6th century, but it was not until th e 18th century does it spread to Europe and America. Nowadays, tea is one of th e most popular beverage in the world, and it is not only the treasure of China b ut also an important part of Chinese tradition and culture. 中国结最初是由手工艺人创造的，经过数百年不断的改进，已经成为一种优雅多彩的艺术和工艺。在古代，人们用它来记录事件，但现在主要是用于装饰的目的。“结”在中文里意味着爱情，婚姻和团聚,中国结常常作为礼物交换
2018年12月大学英语四级翻译真题汇总 【手机改变阅读方式】 由于通信网络的快速发展，中国智能手机用户数量近年来以惊人的速度增长。这极大地改变了许多人的阅读方式。他们现在经常在智能手机上看新闻和文章，而不买传统报刊。大量移动应用程序（apps）的开发使人们能用手机阅读小说和其他形式的文学作品。因此，纸质书籍的销售受到了影响。但调查显示，尽管智能手机阅读市场稳步增长，超半数成年人仍喜欢读纸质书。（164字） In recent years, the number of Chinese smartphone users has been growing at an alarming rate as the result of the rapid development of communication networks. This has dramatically changed the ways of reading for many people. They now often read news and articles on their smartphones instead of buying traditional newspapers. The development of a large number of mobile apps enables people to read novels and other forms of literature works on their mobile phones. Therefore, the sale of paper books has been affected. But the survey indicates that, despite the steady growth of the mobile phone reading market, more than half of the adults still prefer to read paper books. 【手机改变支付方式】 过去几年里，移动支付市场在中国蓬勃发展。随着移动互联网的出现，手机购物逐渐成为一种趋势。18到30岁的年轻人构成了移动支付市场的最大群体。由于现在用手机付款很容易，许多消费者在购物时宁愿用手机付款，而不愿用现金或信用卡。为了鼓励人们多消费，

1. 中国城市化(urbanization)将会充分释放潜在内需(domestic demand)。一些经济学家指出，在中国几乎所有的发展中城市都面临着城市化的进程。这使得许多人的生活水平有所提高，也为人们提供更多的就业机会。随着越来越多的人向城市迁徙，住房及城市基础设施建设(infrastructure construction),包括水源等能源的供应将会成为城市发展的焦点问题。商品与服务的自由、快速流通是城市化社会的一项基本特征。逐渐扩张的城市需要更多的零售店来满足消费者的需求。 参考译文 China?s urbanization will release the full potential of domestic demand. Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country. It will lead to a better quality of life for many people，and provide individuals with more job opportunities. The construction of housing and city infrastructure, in?cluding water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban develop?ment as more people migrate to cities. Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city. But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation. The fast, free flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society. Ex-panding cities require more retail outlets to serve customers. 2. 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。 参考译文 Beijing Opera is the cream of the Chinese culture. As a tradi?tional art form, its costumes and facial mask are more popular with people. Different styles of costumes are used to reflect the status of different characters. There are more decorations in the costumes of nobles，while those of the poor tend to be simple and less elemental. Facial masks can reflect qualities of different characters. Facial masks using different colors are important ways to portray a character. People can tell a hero from a villain by the colors of the masks. In general，white usually represents treachery, black represents righteousness, yellow represents bravery, blue and green represent rebellious fighters，while gold and silver represent divinity and Buddhism. 3.月光族中国经济的高速发展，带来了消费文化的曰益流行，同时也催生了一批具有高学历，充分享受资本主义消费模式的年轻人，他们习惯于当月工资当月花。因而被称为“月光
（一）大学英语四级翻译3大方法 积累常用词汇和词组 2013年12月的翻译内容涉及的多是有关中国传统文化，像：中国结(The Chinese knot)，中餐(Chinese food)，茶文化(Chinese tea)等。如果大家能够事前准备到一些中国传统文化的专有词汇，像：祈求好运、瑰宝、福、和、瓷器等，问题就会变得简单很多。 遗产heritage; legacy; inheritance，保护protect; safeguard; preserve; shelter，古人the ancients，古老的ancient。很多同学吐槽单词不会写，但也不能空着，一定要想到合适的表达，可以灵活地变通，比如：“第一流的”可以说成first-rate，也可以说成excellent，“尊敬”可以说成respect，也可以说成think highly of。当然要想灵活自如，备战过程中背诵积累是必不可缺的。 积累常见表达 翻译的文章主题和题材类似的情况下就会不可避免的出现一些重复表达，比如：Chinese tradition and culture中国传统和文化;the treasure of China 中国的瑰宝;an important part of... ...的重要组成部分;all over the country/ world遍布全国/全世界;the most popular最流行;most ..., while.... 很多(人)...,
而(另一些人)...。这些表达在介绍中国各种传统习俗时会频繁用到。因此，我们可以把一些常见的表达背诵下来。 平时多训练 改革后的四六级翻译题材贴近生活，翻译灵活性强，题目会给我们很大的发挥空间，一般都不会太难。只要大家平时做好了相应的训练，基本都可以做到灵活应对。例如这样的句型“烹饪不仅被视为一种技能，而且也被视为一种艺术”(cooking is considered as not only a skill but also an art);“精心准备的中餐既可口又好看”(The well-prepared Chinese food is both delicious and good-looking);“中餐既味美又健康”Chinese food is delicious as well as healthy;这里边就多次出现了大家熟悉的“不仅...而且...”“既...又...”句型表达。 （二）英语四级翻译技巧解析 一. 正确认识翻译技巧 从中国人进行的翻译定位上看，无论是英译汉还是汉译英，其根本问题都在译者的英语水平或造诣上。英译汉的题型，关键在于理解原文;而汉译英的题型，关键在于如何综合运用所学的英文知识，将我们原本理解的相当明白的汉语文字，以准确的英语通顺地表达出来。 笔者想提醒考生注意的是，各种翻译技巧只是工具。茅盾先生有一句话，如果两种语言的功底不够，那些技巧你也用不上;但若功底深厚，那些条条就成
2 015年6月13日全国大学英语四级翻译真题及答案 大米 在西方人心目中，和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来，大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位，以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多数种植水稻，人们通常以大米为食；而华北大部分地区因为过于寒冷或过于干燥，无法种植水稻，那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国，有些人用面粉做面包，但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。 In the mind of Westerners,Chinese people have the closest connection to rice,basic food for the Chinese.For a long time,rice occupies a very important position in the Chinese diet.There is even a saying that "even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice".People in south China plant and live on rice,while people in the most parts of North China cannot plant rice due to excessively dry and cold weather. The main crop there is wheat. In China, some people use flour to bake bread,while most people make steamed bread and noodles with flour. xx 中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。构成现代世界基础的许多元素起源于中国。中国现在拥有世界上发展最快的经济，并正经历着一次新的工业革命。中国还启动了雄心勃勃的太空探索计划，其中包括到20年建成的一个太空站。目前，中国是世界最大的出口国之一，并正在吸引大量外国投资。同时，它也在海外投资数十亿美元。2011年，中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。 快递 据报道，今年中国快递服务（courier service）将递送大约120亿件包裹。这将使中国有可能超越美国成为世界上最大的快递市场。大多数包裹里装着网上订购的物品。中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。仅在11月11日，中国消费者就从国内最大的购物平台购买了价值90亿美元的商品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日。因此，快递业在中国扩展就不足为奇了。

今年考的三套翻译题均是跟中国的公共交通相关的内容，介绍了公交车、飞机、地铁服务的提升，以及市民生活水平的提高。展现了我国社会的发展和人民幸福水平的提升。 交通方式这一话题是考生日常所熟知的，也比较贴近考生的生活，词汇对于考生来说不是问题，“公交车”、“航空”等都是小学初中就接触到的词汇，但是需要考生去积累一些组合词汇，例如：“私家车private car”、“老年市民senior citizens”等。 对段落内容的理解也不是难事，毕竟交通方式是生活中老生常谈的话题，主要的难点在于一些固定的句式和搭配，例如“随着经济的发展和人民生活水平的提高”是考生耳熟能详的“万金油”句式。 诸如此类句式还有：“曾是……used to be…”、“越来越……more and more…”这些表达应该是考生在平时的学习中慢慢积累的。 此外，时态语态也是考生容易出错的点，由于汉语和英语表达习惯的不同，汉语中不常用被动，或者即使表达被动的意思也不会体现在句式上，例如：“公交车设施不断更新”，从字面并没有任何提示是被动，但语义的理解却带有被动的含义，翻译成英语时一定要体现出“be+过去分词”的结构。 又如“许多城市……一直努力……”,需要判断，这个动作发生在过去的某个时间节点，一直持续，并还可能持续下去，最后确定此处应选用现在完成进行时，在平时的学习中，应理解每种时态对应的情况，才能更加贴切地表达出原文所要传达的意思 句子的语序调整仍值得考生注意。时间状语、地点状语、原因状语、目的状语和方式状语仍然是重要的考点，一般情况下都要后置。 其次是句型的变化。注意运用被动语态(从中英文语用习惯以及动词发出者的逻辑主语去改句子)、插入语(例如，“包括许多农民和外出务工人员”)、there be 句型(非人主语+有/存在。例如，中国有越来越多的城市开始建设地铁)和It为形式主语的句子(例如，乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的)进行改句，防止句式单一。 过去，乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的。 In the past, travelling by airplane was unimaginable for most Chinese.
历年四级段落型翻译真题 Roger Li 2014 年6 月大学英语四级翻译 试卷一：中餐许多人喜欢中餐，在中国，烹饪不仅被视为一种技能，而且也被视为一种艺术。精心准备的中餐既可口又好看，烹饪技艺和配料在中国各地差别很大。但好的烹饪都有一个共同点，总是要考虑到颜色、味道、口感和营养(nutrition) 。由于食物对健康至关重要，好的厨师总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜之间取得平衡，所以中餐既味美又健康。 译文： Many people like Chinese food.

Other thinks it is a need, because China should keep pace with the times. Anyway, it is a good thing that Information Technology arouses public concern. 试卷三：茶文化 " 你要茶还是咖啡?"是用餐人常被问到的问题，许多西方人会选咖啡，而中国人则会选茶，相传，中国的一位帝王于五千年前发现了茶，并用来治病，在明清(the qing dynasties) 期间，茶馆遍布全国，饮茶在六世纪传到日本，但直到18 世纪才传到欧美，如今，茶是世界上最流行的饮料(beverage)之一，茶是中国的瑰宝。也是中国传统和文化的重要组成部分。译文： "Would you like tea or coffee?"

八、合并译法（一）：使用从句 一般来说，汉语句子结构较松散，简单句多，句与句之间少有连接词。英语则会利用各种连接方法将句子串联起来。因此，汉译英时常要用到合并译法，将汉语短句连接成英语长句。 1.使用状语从句 汉语短句之间存在着因果、转折、条件等逻辑关系。在汉译英时要理清 关系，添加适当的连接词将汉语短句译为状语从句。 例1：中国人喝茶的历史较短，三国以后江南人才开始喝茶。 译文：Tea has a shorter history in China since people south of the Yangtze River began to drink tea only after the Three Kingdoms Period. 注：原文两个短句暗含因果关系，可用since引导的状语从句来翻译后一 个短句。 2.使用定语从句 如果汉语中的两个句子中有重复出现在名词或名词短语，译者在翻译时 可将其中处于次要位置的句子处理为定语从句，重复的名词用关系词 which, who, when, where等替代。 例2：香港是购物天堂，对各国游客产生了巨大的诱惑力。 译文：Hong Kong is a shopping mecca that greatly attracts tourists from all over the world. 注：“香港”是原文两个短句的共同主语，翻译时可将后一个短句前添加 关系词“that”，译为定语从句。 3.使用同位语从句 同位语从句的作用是对先行词进行解释说明。如汉语中短句A说明了短 句B中的某个名词，翻译时可将A译为B的同位语从句。 例3：发展是硬道理，我们都必须坚持这一原则。 译文：We should all embrace the principle that development is the absolute truth. 注：“发展是硬道理”是对“原则”一词的说明，因此这一短句译成同位 语从句，用以修饰先行词“principle”。 九、合并译法（二）：使用非谓语动词 一般来说，汉语中短句多，相应的动词也多，译者在进行汉译英时可将其中一些表示伴随状态、补充说明或结果等的汉语短句译为英语的非谓语动
大学英语四级翻译技巧讲解 一、复习建议： 1. 加强历史、文化、经济以及社会发展相关热词的积累 2. 广撒网，学习、揣摩这些话题相关的难点单句训练 做这些单句训练时，先阅读1遍整个段落，专门挑出自己觉得比较难翻的句子，然后重点练习这一句的翻译。难句会了，简单句自然不在话下。 在做单句翻译时，先尝试自己翻，翻完以后，对照答案，看解析，总结和揣摩其中好的词汇和表达。下面请大家跟着教研君给出的常考单句示例，具体学习吧~ 1. 对于大多数年轻人来说，结婚意味着独立组建家庭，然而物价的不断上涨使这一切变得越来越困难。 参考译文：For most young people, marriage means setting up a family independently, which has become increasingly difficult because of the constantly rising prices.
词汇点评： 组建家庭：set up a family。有同学容易使用start a family。start a family表示begin to have children“开始生儿育女”。 越来越：一般看到“越来越”大家习惯译为more and more，比如“越来越多的人”more and more people，但译为a growing number of people可令人眼前为之一亮；而表达“变得越来越”的含义时，使用become increasingly的译法更好。 物价的不断上涨：constantly rising prices，而不是price rising。 表达点评： 本句是一个表转折关系的并列句，后半句中的“物价的不断上涨使这一切……”中的“这一切”指代前半句中提到的“结婚意味着独立组建家庭”，因此，用which引导的非限制性定语从句，让整个句子简洁明了。 使字句的翻译：“物价的不断上涨”是“这一切变得困难”的原因，因此处理为原因状语，用because of…来带出原因。 2. 过去十年中国房地产（real estate）行业高速发展。
