It was not long before the two were like old chums.The Major set apart each afternoon to read to him the manuscript of his book.During the anecdotes Hargraves never failed to laugh at exactly the right point.The Major was moved to declare to Miss Lydia one day that young Hargraves possessed remarkable perception and a gratifying respect for the old regime.And when it came to talking of those old days--if Major Talbot liked to talk,Mr.Hargraves was entranced to listen.Like almost all old people who talk of the past,the Major loved to linger over details. In describing the splendid,almost royal,days of the old planters,he would hesitate until he had recalled the name of the negro who held his horse,or the exact date of certain minor happenings,or the number of bales of cotton raised in such a year;but Hargraves never grew impatient or lost interest.On the contrary,he would advance questions on a variety of subjects connected with the life of that time,and he never failed to extract ready replies.汉译英：六十整岁望七十岁如攀高山。

Passage translation (120 points)Section A English to Chinese (60 points)Intelligent life on a planet comes of ages when it first works out the reason for its ownexistence. If superior creatures from space ever visit earth, the first question they will ask, in order to assess the level of our civilization, is: “Have they discovered evolution yet?”Living organisms had existed on earth, without ever knowing why, for over three thousand million years before the truth finally downed on one of them. His name was Charles Darwin. To be fair, others had had inklings of the truth, but it was Darwin who first put together a coherent and tenable account of why we exist. Darwin made it possible for us t give a sensible answer to the curious child whose question heads this chapter. We no longer have to resort to superstition when faced with the deep problems: Is there a meaning to life? What are we for? What is man? After posing the last of these questions, the eminent zoologist G. G. Simpson put it this: “The point I want to make now is that all attempts to answer that question before 1859 are worthless and that we will be better off if we ignore them completely.”Today the theory of evolution is about as much open to doubt as the theory that the earth goes round the sun, but the full implications of Darwin’s revolution have yet to be widely realized. Zoology is still a minority subject in universities, and even those who choose to study it often make their decision without appreciating its profound philosophical significance. Philosophy and the subjects known as “humanities”are still taught almost as if Darwin had never lived. No doubt this will change in time. In any case, this book is not intended as a general advocacy of Darwinism. Instead, it will explore the consequences of the evolution theory for a particular issue. My purpose is to examine the biology of selfishness and altruism.Section B Chinese to English (60 points)总部设在德克萨斯州的全球语言监测机构运用一套数学公式来追踪词和短语的使用频率。

暨南大学翻译硕士考研复试真题答案经验订房篇：暨大外院办事效率高，而且很从考生角度出发，所以暨大外院会比其他院早知道复试时间。

14号外院辅导员在官方抠抠群跟我们说22号报道，23号下午就笔试，24号下午面试。

其他学院可都是弄到26号才结束的。

于是，楼主在14号就订了房。

楼主和同班同学订了暨大斜对面的七天连锁酒店，要过天桥，步行约15分钟。

七天服务很周到，不过我不得不吐槽真的很难找。

看似就在眼前，但是入口真的很难找，因为七天是在跑马店国际公寓里面，出去很不方便！七天的价格也不低，还好楼主不是一个人住。

一起复试的研友订了七天下面的东旺宾馆，听说也不错。

笔试篇：今年暨大的复试笔试题型大变，往年是长度适中的汉英英汉互译各一篇。

今年的话。

考试时间2.5小时，比较紧凑。

第一题：专业名词汉译英10个，每题1分。

我记得的有，建设高水平大学，一带一路，三严三实，哎，想不起来了，让其他研友补充下；新闻标题英译汉，十个，每题2分。

第二题：两个微型小说汉译英，每题10分。

两段英译汉，跟上面的微小说差不多长，每题10分。

第三题：语篇翻译，好像是一篇英文的序，然后翻译划线部分，长度跟初试差不多。

面试篇：面试跟往年一样，按照初试成绩的顺序来面试，四组分不同的试室进行。

当然如果要赶车，可以提前面试。

讲讲楼主面试的情况。

（我感觉是很糟糕的）面试是全程录像的。

进去之后会有一个主面试官引导你先做自我介绍，然后其他教授会提问题。

我的自我介绍里说自己学了一些翻译理论，所以他们基本上问知道哪些翻译牛人，知道哪些翻译理论。

然后楼主遇到了千年巨坑。

被问到了口译题。

有个教授念了一大段中文，我约摸记得“工农武装革命，啥道路”，楼主完全蒙逼了，一个字也没记住，那教授只好重复了一遍，而且是给我断句了的那种，楼主还是没反映过来，继续蒙逼。

说多都是泪啊！还有个教授全程在摇头。

然后面试就结束了，大约13mins.还有哦，暨大是不歧视本科出身的，暨大环境很美的哦，校区处于市中心，出入都很方便，不得不说暨大外院的辅导员人超好，没有老师架子，很会开玩笑。

暨南大学学姐的考研复试真题答案经验这个时间，师弟师妹们应该都在焦急的等待考研成绩吧。

去年这个时间，我也是同样的心情，而且暨大出成绩好似都比较墨迹~~~这个帖子原本想一月初就写了的，但那时忙着期末考试，之后又有一些不愉快的事发生，就拖到了现在。

调整了心情，赶在出成绩前过年前发了这个帖子，希望能帮助到14级师弟师妹们。

帖子主要写个人的复试全程经历，对于不同的学院不用专业，不一定通用。

主要是给师弟师妹们一个例子，作为借鉴，再跟自己的实际情况结合起来，制定出适合自己的复习计划。

先说说我个人情况。

我的初试成绩很一般，以第21名进入复试，中下游水平，印象中当时有30人左右进入复试。

复试结束后，上升到第8名。

这个上升幅度有点出乎我意料，我报的专业只招16人，一开始想着能擦边被录取就不错的了。

所以说，大家千万别轻视了复试！有人排名上去了，自然有人排名落下来了。

这关系到奖学金的等级问题〔14年具体政策不太清楚〕，甚至关系到能否成功逆袭搭上末班车，一不小心可能还会被拉下马。

下面分三个时间段，说说我个人的备考复试经历。

一、考研成绩出来之前能否进入复试，在每个科目都过了分数线的条件下，按排名择优进入复试，大家可以看看往年的复试比例〔复试方案上有具体比例，可通过学校网站、百度、考研论坛等地方查到〕。

等成绩出来之后，估算一下自己能否进入复试。

对于排名前的同学，简单看看即可；对于有时机擦边进入复试的同学来说，可能就会比较纠结了。

复试书籍，这个是比较重要的了。

招生目录上写了要考的科目，但是没写对应科目的参考书，也没有复试考试大纲。

对于参考书，可以找研究生师兄师姐，问问他们用了什么参考书，或者是找暨大的本科生，看他们上课用的是什么教材。

百度一下，印象中可以找到一些年份的复试参考书，但是是不是准确的，就自己斟酌了。

我当时是网上找到了过去一些年份的参考书，然后还问了一位师兄，确定出了备考复试要用的教材。

师兄跟我说，用差不多的教材就可以了，老师出的一般都是这个学科的重点知识，基本每本书都会涉及到。

Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions:In this section, there are three passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer and write the letter of your choice on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneThe world’s greatest structures built by insects or animals other than humans are, surprisingly, constructed by termites. Termites, sometimes known as white ants, are little insects that resemble ants in appearance, but they tend to be smaller, fatter, slower moving. There are about twelve to fifteen hundred species of termites. However, not a single one of them belong to the same class of insects as ants. Termites are actually more closely related to cockroaches and mantids. They are known to be social insects that have an instinct to use a system of cooperation and specialization as their main method of survival. Termites are most known to people and scientists for their peculiar and marvelous works of architecture. Australian and African termites, especially, build housing structures reaching almost ten meters in height. Considering their relative size, such a building would be theequivalent of a 200-story edifice for humans. Their knowledge to construct such astonishing structures is known to be inborn in their nature.The termite nest, or termitary, usually takes the shape of a gigantic mound, or sometimes a multi-fingered hand, rising up from the surface. To build this housing for the colony, termites spend a considerable amount of time. It may take months, or sometimes even a year. The most common material composing a termitary is dirt. Termites carry the local soil and combine it with their saliva to solidify it. Because it is very firm and also impermeable, it is frequently used by people in Africa as a material for building their shelters.The termitary consists of thousands of chambers, each for a different purpose. The bottom layer of the mound generally serves as the living and working quarter for workers that assume the labors of foraging, food storage, and nest maintenance. Their chambers are located in the lower core so that they can easily go in and out of the termitary in search for food. Some species have gardens of various fungi in this lower part of the nest. The workers are in charge of cultivating and harvesting them as a stable source of food for the young. Above the worker chamber dwell termite soldiers devotedly protect their kind. Soldiers, as a mechanism for fighting, have developed big, strong jaws proportionally too big for their body size. Therefore, they cannot feed themselves without the help of workers. Above these two layers lie chambers called nymphs. The eggs and young termites stay here until they hatch and are fully grown. There is also a room for food storage in this part of the nest. At the top of the mound are the royal chambers for the kings and queens. Any males and females that mate with the opposite sex are termed as kings and queens. Each couple is in different chambers sustaining close proximity all the time. Once a termite has been chosen as a king or queen, such title and responsibility remains for the rest of its life. Unlike male ants which die immediately after mating, termite kings enjoy peaceful lives and are considered just as important as the queen. Queens, at maturity, can lay over a thousand eggs per day.One of the amazing facts about a termitary is that it comes with the most efficient systems of cooling and ventilation. Walls of the mixture of soil and salivahelp keep the nest moist, and thus, cool. Each layer of the mound where a different class of termites resides is vented by a system of passages and ducts, which circulate air throughout because they are connected with parts of the nest in between the layers that have ventilation holes.Thus, the termitary is always maintained cool by having access to a supply of fresh air or light breeze and by allowing stale air to leave. This is very good news for termites, for they will not last even for a few minutes in sweltering conditions. Moreover, termites living in the most arid regions also manage to keep themselves cool by digging into the earth as deep as it is necessary, sometimes resulting in depths over 100 feet. Their task is completed when they reach underground water. This waterway brings a supply of cool and fresh air that rises to the nest and circulates throughout. The gardens tended by workers are also known to aid the cooling process.1. According to paragraph 1, termites achieve fascinating works of architecture withA. about twelve to fifteen hundred species.B. cooperative help from ants.C. their intrinsic knowledge.D. numerous trials and errors.2. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that termite soldiersA. cannot fly.B. fight with their jaws.C. sometimes search for food.D. eat termite workers.3. According to paragraph 3, what is the main difference between royalties of ants and termites?A. There is only one queen in an ant colony whereas there are many in a termite colony.B. Male termites that become king live on even after the mating process is over.C. Queen termites can lay more eggs compared to queen ants.D. Kings and queens of a termite colony must mate their whole lives.4. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the cooling andventilation systems in a termitary?A. They are absolutely necessary for the survival of termites.B. Supply of air in hot and arid regions will only make the termitary hotter.C. Water from underground is an essential component of the systems.D. It cannot work properly without the fungi gardens.5. Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the italicized sentence in the passage?A. All passages and ducts in a termitary can be supplied with fresh air because theyare hooked up together.B. Termites punch out ventilation holes in every chamber to obtain direct supply of air in all passages and ducts.C. Fresh air rising from the underground passages and ducts flows all the way through and cools the termitary.D. Every layer has ventilation holes that are attached to passages and ducts locatedoutside the termitary where fresh air comes from.Passage TwoWhen I accepted a volunteer position as a social worker at a domestic violence shelter in a developing nation, I imagined the position for which my university experience had prepared me. I envisioned conducting intake interviews and traipsing around from organization to organization seeking the legal, psychological and financial support that the women would need to rebuild their lives. When I arrived, I felt as if I already had months of experience, experience garnered in the hypothetical situations I had invented and subsequently resolved single-handedly and seamlessly. I felt thoroughly prepared to tackle head-on the situation I assumed was waiting for me.I arrived full of zeal, knocking at the shelter’s door. Within moments, my reality made a sharp break from that which I had anticipated. The coordinator explained that the shelter’s need for financial self-sufficiency had become obvious and acute. To address this, the center was planning to open a bakery. I immediately enthused about the project, making many references to the small enterprise case studies I had researched at the university. In response to my impassioned reply, the coordinator declared me in charge of the bakery and left in order to “get out of my way.” At that moment, I was as prepared to bake bread as I was to run for political office. The bigger problem, however, was that I was completely unfamiliar with the for-profit business models necessary to run the bakery. I was out of my depth in a foreign river with only my coordinator’s confidence to keep me afloat.They say that necessity is the mother of invention. I soon found that it is also the mother of initiative. I began finding recipes and appropriating the expertise of friends. With their help making bread, balancing books, printing pamphlets and making contacts, the bakery was soon running smoothly and successfully. After a short time it became a significant source of income for the house.In addition to funds, baking bread provided a natural environment in which to work with and get to know the women of the shelter. Kneading dough side by side, I shared in the camaraderie of the kitchen, treated to stories about their children and the towns and jobs they had had to leave behind to ensure their safety. Baking helped me develop strong relationships with the women and advanced my understanding of their situations. It also improved the women’s self-esteem. Their ability to master a new skill gave them confidence in themselves, and the fact that the bakery contributed to the upkeep of the house gave the women, many of them newly single, a sense of pride and the conviction that they had the capability to support themselves.Baking gave me the opportunity to work in a capacity I had not at all anticipated, but one that proved very successful. I became a more sensitive and skillful social worker, capable of making a mean seven-grain loaf. Learning to bake gave me as much newfound self-confidence as it gave the women, and I found that sometimes qualitysocial work can be as simple as kneading dough.6.

Older Southeast Asian refugees must cope with their rapidly acculturating younger family members, while taking on new roles and expectations in a foreign culture.Many Southeast Asian immigrants are surprised to find that by American standards, they are not even considered elderly. Migration to a new culture often changes the definition of life stages. In the traditional Hmong culture of Vietnam, one can become an elder at 35 years of age when one becomes a grandparent. With grandparent status, elder Hmong can retire and expect their children to take financial responsi-bility for the family. Retiring at 35, of course, is not common in the United States.There is a strong influence of Confucianism in traditional Vietnamese society. Confucianism, an ancient system of moral and religious thought, fosters strong filial piety and respect for family elders. In many Southeast Asian societies, age roles are hierarchical, with strict rules for social interaction. In America, however, because older refugees lack facility with the English language and knowledge of American culture, their credibility decreases when advising younger family members about important decisions. As younger family members take on primary roles as family mediators with American institutions—schools, legal systems, and social service agencies, for example—the leadership position of elders within the family is gradually eroded.Refugee elders must also cope with differences in gender roles in the United States. Even before migration, traditional gender roles were changing in Southeast Asia. During the Vietnam War, when men of military age were away, women took responsibility for tasks normally divided along gender lines. When Vietnamese families came to this country, these changes became more pronounced. There were more employment opportunities for younger refugees and middle-aged refugee women because their expectations often fit with the lower status jobs that were among the few opportunities open to refugees. Many middle-aged women and younger refugees of both sexes became family breadwinners. This was a radical change for middle-aged men, who had been the major breadwinners of the family.Although the pattern for long-term adaptation of middle-aged and older Southeast Asian refugees is still unknown, there are indications that the outlook for women is problematic. Many older women provide household and childcare services in order to allow younger family members to hold jobs or go to school. While these women are helping younger family members to succeed in America, they themselves are often isolated at home and cut off from learning English or other new skills, or becoming more familiar with American society. Thus, after the immigrant family passes through the early stages of meeting basic survival needs, older women may find that they are strangers in their own families as well as in their new country.11. The major purpose of the passage is to discussA. the reasons why Southeast Asian people move to the United StatesB. educational challenges facing young refugees in America todayC. problems that elderly Southeast Asian people encounter in AmericaD. changing gender relationships in Southeast Asian refugee families12. In paragraph 1, “older Southeast Asian refugees must cope with their rapidly acculturating younger family members” refers toA. middle-aged men’s embarrassment at not being the principal breadwinnerB. middle-aged women’s isolation in the homeC. younger refugees’ better educational and social opportunities in AmericaD. the tendency of younger refugees to join non-Asian gangs13. The author uses the term “family mediators” to mean theA. traditional role of elders in Vietnamese familiesB. responsibilities which young refugees assume in a new countryC. help that newly arrived refugees get from friends who migrated earlierD. professional help available to refugee families in U.S. communities14. The phrase “radical change” in the last but one paragraph refers to the fact thatA. older refugees find that retirement ages are very different in AmericaB. women filled men’s jobs during the Vietnam WarC. the education of their children is considered crucial by refugee parentsD. refugee men are often displaced as primary income earners in their families15. The author’s point about the problematic long-term outlook for refugee women is made primarily throughA. personal recollectionB. historical discussionC. case study analysisD. informed speculationPart IV.

暨南大学翻译硕士考研难易程度剖析一、暨南大学翻译硕士考研难度大不大，跨专业的人考上的多不多?就近些年的考研情况看，暨南大学翻译硕士一直以来是比较热门的考研专业之一，2015年暨南大学翻译硕士招生人数为49人，总体来说，暨南大学翻译硕士招生量较大，考试难度不高。

每年都有大量二本三本学生考取的，根据凯程从暨南大学研究生院内部的统计数据得知，暨南大学翻译硕士的考生中90%以上都是跨专业考生，在录取的学生中，基本都是跨专业考的。

在考研复试的时候，老师更看重跨专业学生的能力，而不是本科背景。

其次，翻译硕士考试科目里，百科，翻译及基础本身知识点难度并不大，跨专业的学生完全能够学得懂。

即使本科学翻译的同学，专业课也不见得比你强多少（大学学的内容本身就非常浅）。

所以记住重要的不是你之前学得如何，而是从决定考研起就要抓紧时间完成自己的计划，下定决心，就全身心投入，要相信付出总会有回报。

在凯程辅导班里很多这样三凯程生，都考的不错，主要是看你努力与否。

二、暨南大学翻译硕士就业怎么样？暨南大学外国语学院学术氛围好，师资力量强大，人脉资源特别广，翻译硕士的校友分布在全国各地，社会认可度较高，因此，就业自然没有问题。

现在国内紧缺的专业翻译人才五大方向为会议口译、法庭口译、商务口译，联络陪同口译、文书翻译。

薪资令人羡慕。

据一个做自由职业翻译人在微博上透露，同声传译每天收入在4000左右，随行翻译每天2000左右。

如此客观的收入，难怪常年报考人数居高不下了。

毕业后只要在工作中不断的累计经验提升自己，学习翻译学的同学想要达到这个收入标准应该不是难事。

由此来看，暨南大学翻译硕士就业前景非常不错，毕业生整体需求还是比较旺盛的。

暨南大学硕士的含金量很大，现在经济贸易的国际化程度越来越高，对翻译的需求也是很大的，这种专业性人才是非常有市场的，只要能力够就业很轻松，工资也很高。

三、暨南大学翻译硕士各细分专业介绍暨南大学翻译硕士口译方向全日制学费总额4万元，学制2年。

又是一年毕业季，今天学校举行毕业典礼，虽然自己已经毕业2年了，但还是有那么一点的忧伤。

离职手续也快办完了，要离开待了6年的学校了。

大学4年，留校工作2年。

未来还未可知，心里突生一阵恐惧。

但是我还年轻，现在不去冒险，以后可能就没有机会了。

谁知道以后的路会是什么呢？只管往前走好了。

考研这一路，失去了太多，也得到了许多。

不知道自己为何竟会如此执着于这所谓的考研。

大体人都会有这样的心理：想要一件东西，求而不得的时候，反而愈加执着。

我对考研便是如此，执念随着时间愈加强大。

一个目标没有实现的时候，就想着一定要努力去达成。

可是当你达成了的时候，就又会发现，你又有了新的执念。

人生就是不断在这样的循环往复中游走，大家都在匆忙赶路。

平时总想着等我以后怎样怎样了，再好好停下来歇歇。

只是，一山望向一山高。

总之，人生百态，经历而已。

好了，今天我就来讲讲我的人生百态中的一态----考研。

希望你们也有自己的考研经历，成功的最好。

政治：我本身文科出身，所以政治还行，至少能保证基本过线，但是要拿高分不容易。

我是10月份下旬才开始的政治，觉得自己政治不好同学的可以早点开始，暑假开始完全够了。

我的方法是：大纲要求＋《李凡政治新时器》结合，政治复习跟一到两个老师就可以了。

一开始就在学长的推荐下买了李凡老师的这本书，感觉比市场上其他的书好很多。

重点分三个阶段进行了复习第一阶段:不用背任何东西，跟着书梳理一遍，重在理解。

要做好笔记以便后期的复习，这样过完第一遍，政治的基本框架基本就没问题了。

第二阶段：在这个基础上开始做习题，建议大家至少要刷3遍。

第三阶段：刷真题。

这个时候差不多就要出背诵小册子了，建议大家买一本来背一背其中的重点就可以。

一边背小册子，一边做题。

使用方法：先做选择题，做完后算分，查漏补缺；大题的话可以直接背了。

考试的时候，大题没背熟，好多都是自己的胡写乱写，拼凑了一堆。

可能是选择题拽了我一把。

我觉得报培训班是没有什么必要的，浪费金钱和时间。
