2020年大学英语四级考试翻译试题及答案(1)聘金(endowment)是中国传统习俗的一部分。
通常,新郎(bridegroom)需要给新娘家一笔钱作为聃礼来定下婚礼。
但是近几年来其标准不断上升,致使大多数家庭都很难达到。
快速上涨的生活成本是聘金增加的主要原因。
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。
因此,许多新婚夫妇都只能向父母求助。
表达难点1.第2句中的“作为聘礼”在汉译英时,可以顺承前面一句“聘金”而省略不译。
“来定下婚礼”表目的,故将其译作状语to fix a marriage。
2.第3句“……不断上升,致使大多数家庭都很难达到”表因果关系,可用so...that...结构来表达,“某人很难做某事”英语对应的表达为sb. finds it difficult to do sth,此句可译为...have become so high... that a majority of families are finding it difficult to meet them。
3.翻译第4句“快速上涨的生活成本是聘金增加的主要原因”时,如果按照原主干“生活成本是主要原因译,则不能很好表达出原句强调“上涨”的利害关系,故转换结构,用“快速上涨”作主语用介词短语in the living cost 作定语。
4.倒数第2句中的“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”是一个表转折的并列句。
但通过分析发现,“这一切”指代前半句内容,故可用which引导非限制性定语从句将前后分句联系起来,以避免不必要的信息重复,这样句子更加简洁紧凑。
“物价的不断上涨”处理成原因状语because of the constantly rising prices 置后,使句子表达清晰流畅。
参考译文Endowment is part of Chinese tradition. Usually, a bridegroom needs to pay a certain amount of money to the bride's family to fix a marriage. But the standards have become so high in recent years that a majority of families are finding it difficult to meet them. The rapid rise in the living cost is the main reason for the increase of endowment. For most young people, marriage means setting up a family independently, which has become increasingly difficult because of the constantly rising prices. Consequently, many newly married couples turn to their parents for help.2020年大学英语四级考试翻译试题及答案(2)中国结(Chinese knot)是中国文化的典型代表之一。

英语四级翻译真题及答案英语四级翻译真题(一):红色在中国文化中,红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福,在春节和其他喜庆场合,红色到处可见。
人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋友时,通常放在红信封里。
红色在中国流行的另一个原因是人们把它与中国革命和共产党相联系。
然而,红色并不总是代表好运与快乐。
因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写,用红墨水写中国人名被看成是一种冒犯行为。
参考译文:The color of red in Chinese culture usually means good luck, longevity and happiness. Red can be found everywhere during Chinese Spring Festival and other joyous occasions. Cashes often in red envelopes are sent to family members or close friends as gifts. Its popularity can also be attributed the fact that people accociate it with Chinese revolution and Communist Party. However, it does not always equal to good luck and joy in that the name of the dead used to be written in red. Using red ink to write names of Chinese people were seen as an offense.英语四级翻译真题(二):白色随着中国的改革开放,如今很多年轻人都喜欢举行西式婚礼。
新娘在婚礼上穿着白色婚纱,因为白色被认为是纯洁的象征。

“出版”的表达常用publish或come out。
2.play an important/essential role in modern society“发挥作用”的表达为play a role in。
“重要的”表达可以用important 或essential;“现代社会”的'表达为modern society。

2019年6月大学英语四级翻译练习题:交谈英语四级翻译练习题:交谈
在中国人们见面时喜欢问:你去哪儿?或你吃了吗?大多数时候人们并非真正想知道你要去哪里或吃饭了没有。
实际上那只是一种打招呼的方式。
与西方的风俗相似,当你与个陌生人开始交谈时,诸如天气、食物或爱好之类的话题可能是打破坚冰的不错选择。
询问私人问题时应当慎重,但是聊些关于家乡、工作方面的话題则通常可以使谈话顺利进行。
参考译文
In China, people like to ask Where are you heading for? or Have you eaten yet? when they meet each other. For most of the time, they do not really want to know where you are going to or whether you have eaten or not. Actually, that is just a way to greet each other. Similar to western customs, when you start talking with a stranger, topics such as weather, food or hobby may be good choices to break the ice. You should be cautious when you ask private questions. But a chat about one’s hometown or job can usually go on smoothly.
表达难点
1.在第2句中,你要去哪里或吃饭了没有作并非真正想知道的宾语,可将其处理成一个宾语从句,用陈述句语序表达,译作where you are going to or whether you have eaten or not.
2.在第3句中,实际上可译为actually或in fact。
定语打招呼
的可处理为后置定语,用不定式短语to greet each other 来表达。
3.第4句的主语是诸如的话题,翻译成英语时,以topics作为主语,定语诸如天气、食物或爱好之类的用such as来列举,作补充说明。
4. 最后句中的询问私人问题时应当慎重省略了主语,翻译时应补充主语you或one,译为You should be cautious when you ask private questions.但是聊些关于则如果译成But if you chat with people on topics such as, it can make the chat go on smoothly则显得冗长拖沓;此处把主语聊些关于家乡、工作方面的话题译为名词短语a chat about one’s hometown or job则能使译文简洁流畅。
