2012年英语专业八级考试真题中译英In recent years, the English Proficiency Test for English Majors (TEM-8) has become an important benchmark for measuring the English language proficiency of Chinese students majoring in English. The test is designed to assess students' listening, reading, writing, and translation skills. This document aims to provide an analysis of the 2012 TEM-8 exam and offer insights into the challenges faced by test-takers.The listening section of the 2012 TEM-8 exam consisted of three parts: short conversations, news reports, and academic lectures. Test-takers were required to listen carefully and answer multiple-choice questions based on the recordings. The difficulty level of the listening section was moderate, with some challenging vocabulary and complex sentence structures. It tested students' ability to comprehend spoken English in various contexts.The reading section of the exam included passages from newspapers, magazines, and academic journals. Test-takers had to read the passages and answer multiple-choice questions, fill in the blanks, and complete summaries. The reading materials covered a wide range of topics, such as politics, culture, science, and technology. The questions were designed to assess students' reading comprehension skills and their ability to infer information from the texts. The difficulty level of the reading section was relatively high, requiring test-takers to have a good command of vocabulary and strong reading skills.The writing section of the 2012 TEM-8 exam consisted of two tasks: an essay and a letter or report. Test-takers were given a choice of topics for the essay and had to write a coherent and well-structured piece of writing within a specified time limit. The letter or report task required test-takers to write a formal letter or a report based on a given situation. The writing section assessed students' ability to express their ideas clearly and concisely, use appropriate vocabulary and grammar, and organize their writing effectively.The translation section of the exam tested test-takers' ability to translate from Chinese to English and from English to Chinese. The Chinese-to-English translation taskrequired test-takers to translate a passage from Chinese into English, while the English-to-Chinese translation task required them to translate a passage from English into Chinese. The translation section assessed students' language proficiency, including their understanding of idiomatic expressions, grammar, and vocabulary in both languages.Overall, the 2012 TEM-8 exam posed significant challenges for test-takers. The listening section required them to have good listening skills and the ability to understand English spoken at a native-like speed. The reading section tested their reading comprehension abilities and their knowledge of various topics. The writing section assessed their ability to express their ideas effectively in written English. The translation section evaluated their language proficiency in both Chinese and English.To succeed in the TEM-8 exam, test-takers need to develop a comprehensive understanding of the English language and improve their listening, reading, writing, and translation skills. They should practice listening to English recordings, reading a variety of English texts, writing essays and reports, and translating between Chinese and English. By doing so, test-takers can enhance their language proficiency and increase their chances of achieving a high score in the TEM-8 exam.In conclusion, the 2012 TEM-8 exam was a comprehensive assessment of English language proficiency for Chinese students majoring in English. It tested their listening, reading, writing, and translation skills, and posed significant challenges. To succeed in the exam, test-takers need to develop a strong command of the English language and practice extensively in all tested areas. With dedication and effort, they can improve their language skills and achieve success in the TEM-8 exam.。
2012级普通班翻译材料注释(一)节日练习1农历的正月初一是春节,即农历的新年。
①据说春节是由冬天的祭拜活动(Sacrifice)发展而来的。
在远古社会,冬祭是人们的一种习俗。
在所有的节日当中,春节对我们来说是最重要的。
在春节到来的前几天,我们便把房子打扫得干干净净并装饰一新(spring-clean:大扫除)。
②老人们说必须干干净净过春节,这样来年才会幸福、交好运。
根据中国的传统,中国人年年过春节,家家都要贴春联(Spring Festival couplet),以表达对新年的祝愿。
(167字)单词与词组:由…..发展而来:evolve from 原始的:primitive 庆祝:celebration习俗:custom 装饰:decorate 表达:convey句型:It is said that…… so that …According to sth. , …注释:错误!未找到引用源。
合并。
原文两个句子,可整合成一句,用同位语。
参考译文:It is said that the Spring Festival evolved from Winter Sacrifice, a custom practiced by the people in the primitive society.②注意翻译成英文时so that 目的状语从句中主语和谓语的选择。
原文意思其实是“新年会(给人们)带来幸福和好运”翻译时主语是New Year, 谓语是will bring。
参考译文:Old folk say that everything must be clean for the Spring Festival celebration so that the New Year will bring happiness and good luck.练习2当公历到了6月份,我们发觉一年的时间已经过去了一半。
然而,农历(lunar1calendar)五月份才刚刚开始,在中国,人们正准备欢度一个传统节日——端午节。
2013年12月英语六级考试翻译新题型习题及答案详解练习题一如果说我确实有所成就的话,那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就会成功。
遇到挫折时,你可以暂时把问题放一放,一味纠结不仅无济于事,有时反倒使情况更糟。
先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番;再回头看待问题,你或许会感到柳暗花明。
这样做后,别忘了多加反省:“为什么这个方法会奏效?下次能不能做得更好呢?”看你定的是什么目标,这种方法可以被反复有效应用。
如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己,最后成功肯定非你莫属。
孜孜不倦向来无敌。
参考翻译及详解如果说我确实有所成就的话,那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就会成功。
The only reason I’ve managed to accomplish anything is because I am a firm believer in continuous improvement.翻译这个句子的时候,用了句式the only reason is...because,大家看到汉语“如果说......”可能会一下头脑晕掉,不知道怎么来翻译,但换一个方式,不用if等其它表示如果的单词或词组,也不失为一种迂回翻译的好方法哦。
注意:我坚信:I am a firm believer (汉语的动词翻译成英文成了“形容词+名词”的形式,亲,你翻译的时候会不会这么做呢?)遇到挫折时,你可以暂时把问题放一放,一味纠结不仅无济于事,有时反倒使情况更糟。
If you fail in something, distance from the event for a day or two, because agonizing over the problem will not make it go away (and will make it a lot worse).遇到挫折:fail in something 暂时:for a day or two(for a day or two有时并不仅仅指一两天,还可以表示暂时哦)纠结:agonizing over the problem 先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番;再回头看待问题,你或许会感到柳暗花明。

2012级大学英语翻译题库第一篇大家普遍承认人是社会性的动物,生活在同一社会的我们自然指望有朋友。
至于什么是友谊,人们有各自不同的理解。
有些人交朋友是为了彼此有用,一旦失去这个基础,这种友谊也就中止了。
但更多的人渴望“心灵之友(soul•pals)”,即那种拥有高尚情操,能共度磨难的朋友。
这样的友谊使我们远离贪欲、暴力,鼓励我们敢于按照自己的信念说话和做事。
这样的友谊才是我们说的“真挚和完美的友谊”。
第二篇晚饭后,我们大家围坐在壁炉(hearth)旁。
苏珊姨妈还沉浸在失去罗伯特姨父的悲伤之中。
她轻声讲起了他俩从前的岁月。
订婚不久,姨父就去参军了。
考虑到当时的严峻形势,许多军人无法生还,你就可以想象当姨父从欧洲战场平安返回时姨妈甭提有多开心了。
之后,他们结婚成家,抚育了五个孩子。
这么多年来,在共同克服生活的艰辛磨难的过程当中,夫妻间的感情越来越深。
我被姨妈的故事深深迷住了,这完全不同于我理想中的爱情。
在日常生活中,他们并不追求激情浪漫,而是实践着“付出”和“分享”。
令人感慨的是,这样的爱延续了一辈子。
第三篇退休终止了一个人的职业生涯。
人们突然发现再也不能继续自己已经干了几十年的工作。
有些老人很难适应这个变化,陷于忧郁之中,认为自己没用了。
的确,忧郁已经成为威胁老年人健康的一个主要因素。
不过,在中国许多老人仍然通过为成年儿女服务,如照看孙辈,补贴零用钱等感到自己仍然有用。
但问题是老人们是否还应该尝试用其他方式来丰富他们的空闲时间以获得一个更有意义的晚年生活?我建议老人们少操心儿女的生活,给儿女足够的空间让他们负责自己的生活。
毕竟老人们为社会和家庭贡献了这么多年,他们应该受到年轻人多方面的尊重,年轻人对年长的父母要更宽容些。
第四篇武术在我国源远流长,是中华民族传统文化的瑰宝。
我们知道,一个民族的优秀文化遗产,不仅仅属于一个民族,它会逐渐传播到世界而成为人类的共同财富。
// 为了更好的推广武术运动,使其与奥运项目接轨,中国武协和国际武联做了大量的艰苦卓绝的工作。

2012八级翻译真题PART V TRANSLATION (60 MIN)SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the underlined part of the following text into English. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.泊珍到偏远小镇的育幼院把生在那里养到1岁的孩子接回来。
但泊珍看他第一眼,仿似一声雷劈头而来。
令她晕头胀脑,这l岁的孩子脸型长得如此熟悉,她心里的第一道声音是,不能带回去!痛苦纠聚心中,眉心发烫发热,胸口郁闷难展,胃里一股气冲喉而上。
院长说这孩子发育迟缓时,她更是心头无绪。
她在孩子所待的房里来回踱步,这房里还有其他小孩。
整个房间只有一扇窗,窗外树影婆娑。
就让孩子留下来吧,这里有善心的神父和修女,这里将来会扩充为有医疗作用的看护中心,这是留住孩子最好的地方。
这孩子是她的秘密,她将秘密留在这树林掩映的建筑里。
她将秘密留在心头。
参考答案:With pains gathering in her heart, she felt something burning hot between her eyebrows. Her chest was brimmed with depression and sorrow which was about to run out of her throat in any moment. She could not think straight when the headmaster told her that the child suffered from developmental retardation. She strode up and down in the room where other children were staying. There was only one window in the room, out of which some shady trees were dancing. “Just leave it here”, she thought to herself, “This might be the best choice. There are kind-hearted priests and nuns and the place will be renovated into a Medicare C enter”. The child would be her secret kept in the buildings behind the woods.SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESETranslate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.In some cases, intelligent people implementing intelligent policies are responsible for producing a "boomerang effect"; they actually create more of whatever it is they seek to reduce in the first place.The boomerang effect has been achieved many times in recent years by men and women of goodwill. State legislatures around the nation have recently raised the drinking age back to 21 in an effort to reduce the prevalence of violent deaths among our young people. But such policies seem instead to have created the conditions for even more campus violence. Some college students who previously drank in bars andlounges under the watchful supervision of bouncers (夜总会,酒吧等保安人员) (not to mention owners ea~er to keep their liquor licenses) now retreat to the sanctuary of their fraternity houses and apartments, where they no longer control their behaviour - or their drinking.The boomerang effect has also played a role in attempts to reduce the availability of illicit drugs. During recent years, the federal government has been quite successful in reducing the supply of street drugs. As fields are burned and contraband (违禁品)confiscated, the price of street drugs has skyrocketed to a point where cheap altematives have begun to compete in the marketplace. Unfortunately, the cheap alternatives are even more harmful than the illicit drugs they replace. boomerang: a curved flat piece of wood that can be thrown so as to return to the thrower 回飞镖参考答案:相反的是,上述政策似乎引发了更多的校园暴力。

2012年英语六级翻译训练习题集2012 大学六级考试翻译题训练指导(一)4. When I walked past his house,________________(我听见他在弹钢琴).5. ________________(学生们应该从这里得出一条经验):Don’t be misled by false appearances.1. _________________(我没有买到一张好票)for yesterday’s movie.2. It’s confirmed that _______________(铁路将延伸到我们村子).3. The new manager of our company _____________(有很强的事业心).参考答案及解析:1. I didn’t buy a good seat解析:题中“好票”是一个干扰项,是典型的汉语表达。
“没有买到一张好票”实际上是说“没有买到好座位”,因此不能译成I didn’t buy a good ticket。
2. the railway will be extended to our village解析:本题考查英语被动语态的翻译。
虽然原中文句给出了主动语态,但在这里主动语态表示被动含义。
因为铁路不可能自己延伸,延伸铁路的必定是人。
再如:这个问题已经解决了。
(The problem has been solved.)3. is a man of great enterprise解析:本题也有很强的干扰性。
考生易译成has a strong heart of career,这种翻译看起来与中文对应,实际上不能被接受,而且完全背离了原文的意思。
“很强的事业心”有自己固定说法:sb. of great enterprise,也可以说成:be self-motivated and result-oriented。
4. I heard him playing the piano解析:本题是对基本知识点的考查。

翻译Unit 1李明是学化学的,性格开朗幽默,颇有魅力,但英语成绩不佳,每次只能勉强及格。
老师警告他,英语不好会阻碍他拿奖学金,并亮出了自己的王牌:如果李明不努力,就让他考试不过关。
老师还告诉他,学习英语不能只为了文凭,否则他即使大学毕业,也还是个半文盲。
李明虽然保持镇定,但他明白,他的学业生涯正在攸关之际,必须安心下来埋头学习,坚持不懈。
Li Ming was a chemistry major, a charmer noted for his easygoing and humorous temperament. However, his English was so poor that he always barely got by. The teacher admonished him that his poor English would be an impediment to scholarship. What’s more, she showed her trump card: if Li Ming did not work hard. She would flunk him.He was also told that he should not learn English merely for the sake of his diploma, otherwise, even after graduation from university, he would still be semiliterate. Although Li Ming did not lose his composure, he was well aware that he had to settle down to work and follow through because his academic life was at stake.Unit 2我的朋友琳达接受过良好的教育,既美丽又端庄,三十好几依然没有人向她求婚。

(156字)P班翻译练习1TranslationDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.“自然”是老子哲学最重要的概念之一。
他并非指外在的自然物,而指一种自然而然,顺应世界的态度。
老子强调,世界上一切事物都有他的“性”(being),有其自身运行的规律,鸟儿在天上飞,鱼儿在水中游,白云飘荡,花开花落,一切都是自然而然的,并不依人的意志而运作。
所谓“独立而不改”,人不要强行改变它。
(143字)参考译文:“Naturalness”is one of the most important concepts of Laozi’s philosophy. It refers to a natural state of being, an attitude of following the way of nature. Laozi emphasized that everything in the world has its own way of being and development: birds fly in the sky, fish swim in the water, clouds float in the sky, flowers bloom and flowers fall…. All these phenomena occur naturally and independently of human will, and human should not try to forcibly change anything natural.P班翻译练习2TranslationDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.水墨画(ink and wash)是传统中国绘画中很独特的一个画种。
它不用或少用色彩,一般只用浓淡不同的黑色墨水,在白色的纸(或绢)上作画。
水墨画之于中国画,就如同油画之于西方绘画。
