2015年英语四级备考笔记：翻译练习
练习1
中国烹饪(Chinese cuisine)文化是中国文化中有关烹饪和休闲的重要组成部分。中国悠久的历史、广袤的疆土、好客的习俗孕育了这一独特艺术。中餐以其“色、香、味、形”俱全而著称。它讲究原料的选配、食物的质地、佐料(seasonings)的调制、切菜的刀功、适时的烹调以及装盘艺术。最负盛名的菜系有南方粤菜、北方鲁菜、东部淮扬菜和西部川菜，以“南淡北咸，东甜西辣”见称。
句1：中国烹饪(Chinese cuisine)文化是中国文化中有关烹饪和休闲的重要组成部分。
思路点拨：“…是…”结构的句子可以翻译成使用be动词的主系表结构本句中虽然给出的时“有关…”，但仔细揣摩其意思应该是“在…方面”，故译为in the aspect of.
Chinese cuisine culture is an important part of Chinese culture in the aspect of cooking and leisure.
句2：中国悠久的历史、广袤的疆土、好客的习俗孕育了这一独特艺术。
思路点拨：本句的主语是三个并列的偏正短语，如果按照原有的语序翻译成英文。则主语太长，不符合英语的表达习惯。因此，本句翻译时应该将主语和宾语互换，同时将“孕育了”意译为owe…to…(将…归因于，将…归功于)，三个并列的短语作介词to的宾语。
This unique art owes itself to the long history, vast territory and hospitable tradition of China.
句3：中餐以其“色、香、味、形”俱全而著称。
思路点拨：本句中“以…而著称”用be famous for来表示;“形”不是“形状”，而是“外观”，应译为appearance; “俱全”译为perfect combination of.
Chinese food is famous for its perfect combination of “color, aroma, taste and appearance”.
句4：它讲究原料的选配、食物的质地、佐料(seasonings)的调制、切菜的刀功、适时的烹调以及装盘艺术。
思路点拨：本句中“讲究”即是“注重”，故译为gives emphasis to; “质地”不是“质量”，不可译为quality, 应译为texture. “佐料的调制”、“切菜的刀功”、“适时的烹调”和“装盘艺术”依次译为the blending of seasonings、slicing techniques、the perfect timing of cooking 和the art of laying out the food on the plate.
It gives emphasis to the selection of raw materials, the texture of food, the blending of seasonings, slicing techniques, the perfect timing of cooking and the art of laying out the food on the plate.
句5：最负盛名的菜系有南方粤菜、北方鲁菜、东部淮扬菜和西部川菜，以“南淡北咸，东甜西辣”见称。
思路点拨：本句可用介词Among置于句首的倒装句型，表示众多最负盛名的菜系“有…”;后半句是对前半句内容的补充说明，可
以用过去分词短语noted as…(以…著称)这种非谓语动词来取消句子的独立性，同时也增加了句子的节奏感。“菜系”即是“派别”，用school较为合适，不可以译为其他词汇。原文中虽没有“味道”二字，但稍微注意一下便可得知“南淡北咸，东甜西辣”说的就是“味道”，所以翻译时应把“味道”(flavor)翻译出来。
Among the best-known schools of cuisine are the Cantonese cuisine of the south, the Shandong cuisine of the north, the Huai-Yang cuisine of the east and the Sichuan cuisine of the west, noted as “the light flavor of the south, the salty flavor of the north, the sweet flavor of the east and the spicy-hot flavor of the west”.
练习2
筷子(chopsticks)是最能反映中国饮食文化特色和传统的重要象征之一。筷子有着悠久的历史，有关筷子的记载可以追溯到3000多年以前。无论到何时何地，中国人吃饭都很难离开筷子。此外，筷子还可以作为礼仪(etiquette)、馈赠、寄情、收藏的特殊工艺品和礼品。如今，筷子已经出现在全世界很多国家的餐桌上，西方还流行起了“为了您的健康，请您拿起筷子来”的时潮。
句1：筷子(chopsticks)是最能反映中国饮食文化特色和传统的重要象征之一。
思路点拨：本句的句子主干为“筷子是…之一”，译为chopsticks are one of…; “最能反映中国饮食文化特色和传统”可处理成定语从句，来修饰“重要象征”，译为that can most reflect the characteristics
and traditions of Chinese food culture。“象征”译为symbol.
译：Chopsticks are one of the important symbols that can most reflect the characteristics and traditions of Chinese food culture.
句2：筷子有着悠久的历史，有关筷子的记载可以追溯到3000多年以前。
思路点拨：本句可处理成and连接的并列句。句中“悠久的”可用long来表达;“有关…的记载”译为the records of…; “追溯到”译为be traced back to。
Chopsticks have a long history and the records of them can be traced back to more than 3000 years ago.
句3：无论到何时何地，中国人吃饭都很难离开筷子。
思路点拨：本句中“无论到何时何地”可处理成状
语;后面部分可用句型“it is +形容词+for sb. to do sth.”。“离开筷子”即“没有筷子”，可译为without chopsticks.
Wherever and whenever, it is hard for Chinese people to have meals without chopsticks.
句4：此外，筷子还可以作为礼仪(etiquette)、馈赠、寄情、收藏的特殊工艺品和礼品。
思路点拨：本句中“…可以作为…”可处理成…can be used as…的形式。“此外”可以译为in addition; “馈赠”可译为gifting;“寄情”即“表达情感”，可译为expressing feelings。
In addition, chopsticks can also be used as special handicrafts and presents for etiquette, gifting, expressing feelings and collection.
难点注释：
句1：白色污染指的是塑料污染(plastic pollution)。
“指的是”可译为refer to.
White pollution refers to plastic pollution.
句2：不可回收的(unrecyclable)塑料午餐盒沿途到处都是。
Unrecyclable plastic lunch boxes are all along roads.
句3：塑料购物袋在空中飞扬。
“在空中飞扬”可译为dance in the wind.
Plastic shopping bags dance in the wind.
句4：如果我们继续使用这些会发生什么呢?
If we continue using them, what would happen?
句5：有一天，它们会将我们埋葬在白色垃圾堆中。
“会将我们埋葬在白色垃圾堆中”可译为might bury us in an ocean of white rubbish.
One day they might bury us in an ocean of white rubbish.
句6：那时的地球—我们共同的家园将成为一个垃圾桶(dustbin)。
Then the earth, our common homeland, would be a dustbin.
句7：为防止这个噩梦成为现实，政府间应该互相紧密合作并将口头承诺付诸实际行动。
“为防止这个噩梦成为现实”译为目的状语：To prevent this
nightmare from coming true; “互相紧密合作”译为work closely with each other; “将口头承诺付诸实际行动”译为back up their verbal commitment by actions.
译：To prevent this nightmare from coming true, governments need to work closely with each other and back up their verbal commitment by actions.
句8：同时，我们应当从自身做起，为绿色环保出一份力。
“从自身做起”译为：start from ourselves.
译：We, as individuals, should start from ourselves to help protect the green environment.
White pollution refers to plastic pollution. Unrecyclable plastic lunch boxes are all along roads. Plastic shopping bags dance in the wind. If we continue using them, what would happen? One day they might bury us in an ocean of white rubbish. Then the earth, our common homeland, would be a dustbin. To prevent this nightmare from coming true, governments need to work closely with each other and back up their verbal commitment by actions. We, as individuals, should start from ourselves to help protect the green environment.
练习3
唐朝(Tang Dynasty)被历史学家认为是中国文明最辉煌的时期。唐朝的首都在长安。在与印度和中东(the Middle East)的交流中，在他们的促进下，唐朝在许多领域里得到了长足的发展。唐朝是文学和艺术
优秀的儒家文人
(Confucian literati)为政府效力，而唐朝的政府体系在儒学官僚(Confucian bureaucratic)的支持下也日臻完善。公元8世纪中期，唐朝势力开始衰落。
难点注释
句1、2：唐朝(Tang Dynasty)被历史学家认为是中国文明最辉煌的时期。唐朝的首都在长安。
第一、二句在翻译时可以整合为一句，其中“唐朝的首都在长安”可以翻译为定语从句来表示。“被…认为是…”可以译为be regarded by …as…; “最辉煌的时期”即为鼎盛时期，可译为a high point.
Tang Dynasty, whose capital is Chang’an, is regarded by historians as a high point in Chinese civilization.
句3：在与印度和中东(the Middle East)的交流中，在他们的促进下，唐朝在许多领域里得到了长足的发展。
“与印度和中东(the Middle East)的交流中，在他们的促进下”可采用合译法，即Stimulated by the contact with…Stimulated by the contact with India and the Middle East, the empire saw a great development in many fields.
句4：唐朝是文学和艺术的黄金时期。
译：The Tang period was the golden age of literature and art.
秀的儒家文人(Confucian literati)为政府效力，而唐朝的政府体系在儒学官僚(Confucian bureaucratic)的支持下也日臻完善。
此句结构较为复杂，翻译时，首先理清句子主干：唐朝的政府体系日臻完善。前半句可以处理成一个非谓语动词做原因状语的形式，即Served by…, serve 本意为“服务”，也可作“效力”讲，与逻辑主语the government system of Tang Dynasty是动宾关系，故用过去分词形式;而其中再嵌套一个后置定语selected through…来修饰Confucian literati;“在……的支持下”译为under the support of…。
Served by a large class of Confucian literati selected through civil service examinations, the government system of Tang Dynasty was gradually perfected under the support of Confucian bureaucratic.
句6：公元8世纪中期，唐朝势力开始衰落。
译：By the middle of the eighth century A.D., the power of Tang Dynasty began to ebb.
Tang Dynasty, whose capital is Chang’an, is regarded by historians as a high point in Chinese civilization. Stimulated by the contact with India and the Middle East, the empire saw a great development in many fields. The Tang period was the golden age of literature and art. Served by a large class of Confucian literati selected through civil service examinations, the government system of Tang Dynasty was gradually perfected under the support of Confucian bureaucratic.

2017年6月大学练习题13篇汇总 1.中国菜 请将下面这段话翻译成英文： 中国菜(cuisine)是中国各地区、各民族各种菜肴的统称，也指发源于中国的烹饪方式。中国菜历史悠久, 流派(genre)众多，主要代表菜系有“八大菜系”。每一菜系因气候、地理、历史、烹饪技巧和生活方式的差异而风格各异。中国菜的调料(seasoning)丰富多样，调料的不同是形成地方特色菜的主要原因之一。中国菜强调色、香、味俱佳，味是菜肴的灵魂。中国饮食文化博大精深，作为世界三大菜系之一的中国菜，在海内外享有盛誉。 参考翻译: Chinese cuisine is a general term for the various foods from diverse regions and ethnic groups of China.

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。

1. 中秋习俗 在中国月饼是一种特殊的食品，广受海内外华人的欢迎。中秋吃月饼就好比圣诞节吃馅饼(mince pies)。为了庆祝中秋节，中国人通常做两件事：一是观赏满月。二是品尝美味的月 饼。中秋节是每年农历八月十五日。据说，这一天的月亮是一年中最圆的。而月亮正是庆贺 中秋的全部主题。在中国人眼中，月饼象征着全家人的大团圆。 参考译文： Moon cakes are aspecial kind of food in China. They are very popular with the Chinese at homeand abroad. Moon cakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are toChristmas. To celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese usually do two things:enjoy the full moon and eat delicious moon cakes. Mid-Autumn Festival falls onthe 15thday of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. Itis the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest. And themoon is what this celebration is all about. In the eyes of the Chinese people ,a moon cake symbolizes the reunion of all family members. 讲解：第二句中的“……就好比”可以用“……s like…”，但译文中所用句型更好地表达这 个含义。如：“智力之于大脑，犹如视力之于躯体。“ Intellect is to the mind what sight is tothe body.” 由于香港的战略位置，面向国际的商业氛围，和优越的通讯条件，使她成为世界贸易的活动 中心和亚太地区的神经中枢。香港已和世界上170个国家和地区的公司有商业往来。与亚洲 其他国家和地区的贸易大幅度增长。香港的集装港口是世界上最繁忙的，而且还在进一步扩 建。虽然香港开始成为世界金融中心还是最近二十年的事，但现在海外贷款已占到香港银行 提供的总贷款的一半以上。当这颗东方明珠重新回到中国的掌上时，中国人民眼中的香港未 来比过去任何时候都更加光明灿烂。 参考译文a Hong Kong a tinyisland perched on the tip of Southern China plays a pivotal role in anincreasingly globalized economy. Given its strategic location internationallyo2. 传统艺术 皮影戏又称“影子戏”。它是中国著名民间戏剧形式之一。表演时艺人通常一边演唱一边操纵 用兽皮或纸板制作的人物形象。它们的影子通过灯光出现在帘布上。这营造了有人物在活动 的幻象。有时表演者需要控制三到四个偶人。皮影戏在我国历史悠久，元代时还曾传到世界 上很多国家，迷倒了不少国外戏迷，被人们亲切地称为“中国影灯”。 参考译文 The shadow puppetplay, also known as ?shadow play?, is one of China?s famous folk opera forms.During the performance, players usually sing while holing/manipulating humanfigures, which are made of animal skin and paper board. The shadows of thosehuman figures are reflected on a curtain through the light. This creates theillusion of moving images. Sometimes
大学英语四级翻译新题型模拟练习及答 案：喝茶 在中国，喝茶是一种仪式(ritual)，一种精致品味(refined taste)的展示。人们在饮茶的同时，也领略着(take delight in)品茶的情趣之意。喝茶聊天是中国人中最流行的打发时间的方式。过去，他们是以进有名的茶馆(teahouse)而开始一天的生活的。中国的茶馆相当于法国的咖啡馆和英国的酒馆。人们到这里不仅是为了喝茶。也是为了议论当地的新闻或对话题进行激烈的(furious)争论。 参考译文 Tea drinking in China is a ritual and a demonstration of the refined taste. While drinking tea, people also take delight in the essence of tea itself. Chatting over a pot of tea is a very popular way of pastime among Chinese. In the past, they would start the day with a visit to a well-known teahouse. Chinese teahouses would be the equivalent of French cafes and English pubs. People come here not just for tea, but also to discuss local news or to have furious political debates. 难点注释 1.汉语形散神聚，英文结构紧凑。处理第一句时，可以将几个小短句合译为一句结构严谨的英文。先确定句子的主谓宾，其中Tea thinking作句子主语，is可作系动词，本句中有两个并列表语，即“仪式”和“展示”，分别译为：ritual，demonstration。 2.第二句中，“领略”可以译为：take delight in;“品茶的情趣之意”可以译为：the essence of tea itself。 3.第三句中的“打发时间的方式”可以理解为“消遣、娱乐方式”，可译为：a way of pastime. 4.第四句中的“相当于”可以用短语be the equivalent of来表达。 搜索公众微信号""，获取最新四六级报名、备考信息！

翻译练习1 2018秋季学期(2015-6-3) 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。 参考译文： In the eyes of Westerners，the basic food most closely connected with China is rice. It has played such an important role in Chinese diets for a long time that there is a Chinese proverb saying “Even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice.” People in South China mostly grow rice and they usually take it as staple food，while the main crop in most parts of North China is wheat because it is either too cold or too dry to grow rice. In China, some people make bread with flour, but most people use it to make steamed buns and noodles. 翻译练习2 2018秋季学期(2015-12-1) 中国的父母往往过于关注孩子的学习，以至于不要他们帮忙做家务。他们对孩子的首要要求就是努力学习，考得好，能上名牌大学。他们相信这是为孩子好，因为在中国这样竞争激烈的社会里，只有好成绩才能保证前途光明。中国父母还认为，如果孩子在社会上取得大的成就，父母就会受到尊重。因此，他们愿意牺牲自己的时间，爱好和兴趣，为孩子提供更好的条件。 参考译文： Chinese parents tend to focus so excessively on their children’s study that they keep their children away from the housework. Their primary requirement for their kids is to study hard, get high scores and manage to attend prestigious universities. Parents are convinced that this is to the benefit of their children, because only high scores can guarantee their kids a promising future in a highly competitive society like China. Chinese parents also believe that they as parents will be respected if their children achieve great accomplishments in society. Therefore, they are willing to provide their children with a better condition at the expense of their own time, hobbies and interests. 翻译练习3 2018秋季学期(2015-12-2)
