江西省第七届英语翻译大赛决赛试题及参考答案

江西省专升本英语考试真题及答案English:One of the past exam questions for the Jiangxi Province College Entrance Examination for Adults in English is as follows: "According to the passage, what are the factors affecting language learning? Please give your opinions." In response to this question, it is important to first consider the various factors mentioned in the passage, such as age, aptitude, motivation, and learning strategies. The passage may have highlighted how younger learners tend to pick up new languages more easily, while those with a natural talent for languages may also have an advantage. Motivation and the use of effective learning strategies, such as immersion or regular practice, may also play a crucial role in language acquisition. After identifying these factors, one can offer their opinions on the significance of each factor and how they interact with one another in influencing language learning. For instance, one may argue that while age and aptitude may provide initial advantages, motivation and effective learning strategies are ultimately the key determinants of language learning success. By offering a critical analysis of the factors affecting language learning, one can then support their opinions withevidence or examples from their own experiences or academic research.中文翻译:江西省成人高考英语专升本考试的往年考题之一是：“根据短文，什么因素影响了语言学习？请发表你的观点。

2一件小事（节选）鲁迅我从乡下跑到京城里，一转眼已经六年了。

其间耳闻目睹的所谓国家大事，算起来也很不少；但在我心里，都不留什么痕迹，倘要我寻出这些事的影响来说，便只是增长了我的坏脾气，——老实说，便是教我一天比一天的看不起人。

但有一件小事，却于我有意义，将我从坏脾气里拖开，使我至今忘记不得。

这是民国六年的冬天，大北风刮得正猛，我因为生计关系，不得不一早在路上走。

一路几乎遇不见人，好容易才雇定了一辆人力车，叫他拉到S门去。

不一会，北风小了，路上浮尘早已刮净，剩下一条洁白的大道来，车夫也跑得更快。

刚近S门，忽而车把上带着一个人，慢慢地倒了。

跌倒的是一个女人，花白头发，衣服都很破烂。

伊从马路上突然向车前横截过来；车夫已经让开道，但伊的破棉背心没有上扣，微风吹着，向外展开，所以终于兜着车把。

幸而车夫早有点停步，否则伊定要栽一个大筋斗，跌到头破血出了。

伊伏在地上；车夫便也立住脚。

我料定这老女人并没有伤，又没有别人看见，便很怪他多事，要自己惹出是非，也误了我的路。

我便对他说，“没有什么的。

走你的罢！”车夫毫不理会，——或者并没有听到，——却放下车子，扶那老女人慢慢起来，搀着臂膊立定，问伊说：“你怎么啦？”“我摔坏了。

”我想，我眼见你慢慢倒地，怎么会摔坏呢，装腔作势罢了，这真可憎恶。

车夫多事，也正是自讨苦吃，现在你自己想法去。

车夫听了这老女人的话，却毫不踌躇，仍然搀着伊的臂膊，便一步一步的向前走。

我有些诧异，忙看前面，是一所巡警分驻所，大风之后，外面也不见人。

这车夫扶着那老女人，便正是向那大门走去。

我这时突然感到一种异样的感觉，觉得他满身灰尘的后影，刹时高大了，而且愈走愈大，须仰视才见。

而且他对于我，渐渐的又几乎变成一种威压，甚而至于要榨出皮袍下面藏着的“小”来。

参考译文第一部分：英译汉（50分）伦敦神游（节选）弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫恐怕从未有人曾经热切地想要一支铅心笔，但有时候这种欲望会变得压倒一切。

那是在下午茶之后、晚饭之前，我们会一心要买一件东西，其实是找借口在此期间游逛半个伦敦。

江西省第七届英语翻译大赛（初赛）试题（2015-9-24）一、请将下列短文译成汉语（50）分：All the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books--but we must know how to avail ourselves of this treasure and how to get the most from it.I am most interested in people, in meeting them and finding out about them.Some of the most remarkable people I’ve met existed only in a writer’s imagination, then on the pages of his book,and then,again,in my imagination.I’ve found in books new friends, new societies, new worlds. If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in who as in how.Who in the books includes everybody from science-fiction superman two hundred centuries in the future all the way back to the first figures in history. How covers everything from the ingenious explanations of Sherlock Holmes to the discoveries of science and ways of teaching manners to children.Reading is a pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun ,not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, comparedwith his ,brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in library are like houses in a city.Although they are separate, together they all add up to something; they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times.Reading can only be fun if you expect ti to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you “ought” to read, you probably won’t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you ,and then relax with it,you will almost certainly have a good time--and if you become as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder,or more gentle, you won’t have suffered during the process.二、请将下列短文译成英语（50）分从朋友口中，听到一则轶事。

江西省第三届翻译大赛初赛试题及参考译文发布时间：2011-09-19 浏览次数：一、将下列短文译成汉语（50分）:Acceptance SpeechWilliam FaulknerI feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work—a life’s work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before. So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin. But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnace from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whose is already that one who will some day stand here where I am standing.Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it, forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed—love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or compassion. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands(腺).Until he relearns these things, he will write as though he stood among and watched the end of man.I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. (422 words)我感到这份奖不是授予我个人而是授予我的工作的，是对我毕生呕心沥血所从事的讴歌人类的精神的辛勤劳动的褒奖。

She honored this second chance at life at every opportunity that presented itself and most of all at the end of her life, through her work for UNICEF.Sometimes a near-death experience can free us of the shackles that life slowly trains us to wear. We come to realize what’s worth the sweat and what isn’t. Although she had no memory of her childhood near-death experience, the knowledge of it, coupled with the fertile ground of an already self-effacing nature, were the roots of the humility that graced her entire life.I never heard her say, “I did this,” or “I’ve done that.” Toward the end of her life, throughout the UNICEF years, I would hear her say regularly, as the world listened to her, “I can do very little.” I never heard her say that she liked any of her performances.

The first choice she made was her career. Then she chose her family. And when we, her children, were grown and had started our lives, she chose the less fortunate children of the world. She chose to give back. In that important choice lay the key to healing and understanding something that had affected her throughout her entire life: the sadness that had always been there.Her choices healed the sadness of a little girl who didn’t know her father for most of her life and yet who yearned and longed for that warm embrace, that reassurance that you are loved and that you matter. When I look back, that is just what she gave to Luca and me: the reassurance that we were loved and that we mattered.

密西西比河上的夏日日出
马克吐温
密西西比河上的夏日日出真的很迷人。

日出之前，一切都很安静，寂静的兴趣笼罩着
四片田野。

远离喧嚣的空灵感不由自主地油然而生。

黎明是宁静的，阴郁的树木是朦胧的；辽阔而松弛的密西西比河依稀可辨；河上的水波静止不动，白雾卷起，挥之不去，令人迷幻；风是悠闲的，树枝是安静的，安静而深沉的，这让人放松而快乐。

在晨曦中，一只鸟
歌唱，一百只鸟和声。

然后，鸟儿发出欢乐的歌声。

听到它的声音，却没有看到它的鸟，
人们似乎在大自然之声的美中徘徊。

等到昕昀烁夜，展现在眼前的便是一幅至柔至美的画卷：身前身后的树木枝繁叶茂，
堆绿叠翠，浓黛浅消。

放眼望去，一英里开外有一个河岬，河岬上的树木淡妆轻抹，仿佛
春天般的娇嫩；远处的和岬则树色隐隐，微茫难辨；地平线尽头的河岬似乎枕在水面上，
像一团迷蒙蒸腾的雾，融入浩渺的水天之中。

广阔的河面好似一面巨大的镜子，淡淡地映
照着丛集的枝叶、曲折的河岸和渐行渐远的河岬，勾勒出一幅生动的画面，轻柔婉转，超
逸绵邈。

太阳慢慢爬上天空，或浅红横涂，或金粉竖抹，或紫霭慢洒，奇异曼妙，难以言传。

这一切，怎能不令人怀想？
