1. Contrast Between English and ChinesePut the following into Chinese, pay special attention to the linguistic differences between English and Chinese.Sentence translation:1.Now that you are in for it, you must carry on.2.Cigarettes were the death of me.3.If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday eveningdoes not wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street.4.If you confer a benefit, never remember it; if you receive one, remember it always.5.Her sighs made it clear that she was unhappy.6.They had no running water where they lived. Nor did they have any conveniences of lifesuch as gas and electricity.7.Theatre will be reinvented and become much freer and more imaginative.8.Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may result inserious disease if certain important elements are missing.9.By the end of the war, 800 people had been saved by the organization, but at a cost of 200Belgian and French lives.10.It should be noted that he and she were extremely close allies.Passage translation:It seemed a point scored for her side when Joanne, panicked that her father-in-law would bungle the turnoff for the Pulaski Skyway, shattered the tip of her cigarette against the back of the seat and a live ash fell on the baby‟s belly. It went unnoticed for a second until Corinne screamed; then they all saw it, a little flea of fire glowing beside the perfect navel. Joanne jumped, and squealed with guilt, and flapped her hands and stamped her feet and hugged the baby against her, but the evidence could not be destroyed; a brown dot of char on the globe of immaculate skin. Corinne continued her screams, splicing them with shrill hard gasps of intake, while everyone rummaged through purses and pockets for Vaseline, butter, toothpaste – anything for an urgent. Mother had a tiny bottle of toilet water given her in a department store; Joanne dabbed some of this on, and in time Corinne, shaken by more and more widely spaced spasms of sobbing, mercifully dragged her injury with her into the burrow of sleep.2. Cohesion1.When Smith was drunk, he used to beat his wife and daughter; and the next morning, witha headache, he would rail at the world for its neglect of his genius, and abuse, with a gooddeal of cleverness, and sometimes with perfect reason, the fools, his brother painters.2.(When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another, such injury that death results,we call the deed man-slaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder.) But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence –knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than that of commission. (But murder it remains.)3 Coherence1.In that infinitesimal fraction of time, inconceivable and immeasurable, during which thefirst atomic bomb converted a small part of its matter into the greatest burst of energy released on earth up to that time, Prometheus had broken his bonds and brought a new fire down to earth, a fire three million times more powerful than the original fire he snatched from the gods for the benefit of man some five hundred thousand years ago. 2.The chess board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules ofthe game are what we call the laws of nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just and patient. But we also know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.3.British newspapers –all of them some of the time, and some of them all the time –behave badly in two ways. They intrude unnecessarily and often hurtfully into people‟s privacy; and they publish inaccurate, sometimes made-up stories. The victims have little redress. If they are rich and the article is defamatory, they can sue for libel. Most cannot afford to do so, and even the rich cannot prevent an invasion of their privacy. Fierce competition, particularly between tabloid newspapers, leads to more feet in more doors.Translation of Idioms, Proverbs and SlangPlease translate the following passages:One afternoon I heard Imelda and her daughter arguing in the kitchen. Her daughter had quarreled with her husband‟s parents, and Imelda was insisting that she apologize to them.Her daughter o bjected. “But, Mama, I just can‟t swallow them, not even with honey. They talk so big until we need something; then they‟re too poor. So today when they wouldn‟t even lend enough to pay for a new bed, all I did was say something that I‟ve heard you say a h undred times: …If so grand, why so poor? If so poor, why so grand?‟”“Impertinent!” snorted Imelda. “Have I not also taught you, …what the tongue says, the neck pays for‟? I will not have it said that I could never teach my daughter proper respect for her elders. And before you go to beg their pardon, change those trousers for a dress. You know how your mother-in-law feels about pants on a woman. She always says, …what was hatched a hen must not try to be a rooster!‟”Her daughter made one more try. “But Mama, you often say, …If the saint is annoyed, don‟t pray to him until he gets over it.‟ Can‟t I leave it for tomorrow?”“No, no and no! Remember: …If the dose is nasty, swallow it fast.‟ You know, my child, you did wrong. But, …A gift is the key to open the door closed against you.‟ I have a cake in the oven that I was making for the Senora‟s dinner. I will explain to the senora. Now, dear, hurry home and make yourself pretty in your pink dress. By the time you get back, I will have the cake ready for you to take to your mother-in-law. She will be so pleased that she may make your father-in-law pay for the bed. Remember: …One hand washes the other, but together they wash the face.‟”。

专业八级翻译参考译文Model Test 1SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH[参考译文]Instead of harassing the monks, the tigers voluntarily stood guard at the gate of the temple. As a reward for it, the monks would place some edibles in front of the gate for the tigers to eat. Towards evening, when the setting sun had dyed half of the sky red, the tigers would come up to the gate in groups to eat their fill and then left slipping and jumping. The monks usually left the gate wide open while peacefully engaged in their daily routine of chanting Buddhist scripture inside the temple. Normally none of their came out to watch the tigers eat. Sometimes, however, one or two monks did appear standing at the gate, but the tigers would remain unalarmed and, taking the monks for their friends, did nothing to harm them. They just kept on eating unhurriedly until they finished and left. Sometimes, when they found,monks at the gate, they would whisk a way like the wind after uttering several thunderous roars.SECTION B ENGLISH TO CIINESE【参考译文】涉足爱河的青年男女常以爱情为砝码,而他们的父母更愿意他们选择有钱人。

2017年英语专业八级翻译系列:汉译英--文学类1你是否觉得劳生草草,身心两乏?我劝你工余之暇,常到小巷里走走,那是最的将息,会使你消除疲劳,紧张的心弦得到调整。
你如果有时情绪烦躁,心境悒郁,我劝你到小巷里负手行吟一阵,你一定会豁然开朗,怡然自得,物我两忘。
你有爱人吗?我建议不要带她去什么名园胜境,还是利用晨昏时节,到深巷中散散步。
在那里,你们俩可以随意谈天,心贴得更,在街上那种贪婪的睨视,恶意的斜觑,巷里是没有的;偶然呀的一声,墙门口显现出一个人影,又往往是深居简出的姑娘,看见你们,会娇羞地返身回避了。
巷,是人海汹汹中的一道避风塘,给人带来安全感;是城市喧嚣扰攘中的一带洞天幽境,胜似皇家的阁道,便于平常百姓徘徊徜徉。
爱逐臭争利,锱铢必较的,请到长街闹市去;爱轻嘴薄舌,争是论非的,请到茶馆酒楼去;爱锣鼓钲镗,管弦嗷嘈的,请到歌台剧院去;爱宁静淡泊,沉思默想的,深深的小巷在欢迎你!背景介绍《巷》是柯灵(1909 ~ 2000 )写于1930年秋的一篇小品散文。
作者以沉挚细腻的笔调描述了江南小城市中的小巷,向往那里悠闲宁静的情调,流露出对大都市喧闹纷争生活的厌恶。
本文语言流畅,玲珑剔透,一气呵成,翻译时,应尽量再现原文的韵味。
难点解析1. 你是否觉得劳生草草:“劳生”作“辛劳的生活”解;“草草”作“忧虑”解。
全句可译为“Aren ’t you weighed down with cares in this life of hard toil...”。
weigh sb. down: depress; make tired, troubled, etc. (使闷闷不乐;使某人困乏、担心、忧虑等)。
例如,weighed down with sorrow / anxieties(因忧伤/焦虑而闷闷不乐)。
2. 身心两乏:意为“身体上和心理上都感到困乏”。
故可译为“exhausted physically and mentally”或“exhausted both in body and mind”。
BIn some societies people want children for what might be called familial reasons: to extend the family line or the family name, to propitiate the ancestors; to enable the proper functioning of religious rituals involving the family. Such reasons may seem thin in the modern, secularized society but they have been and are powerful indeed in other places.In addition, one class of family reasons shares a border with the following category, namely, having children in order to maintain or improve a marriage: to hold the husband or occupy the wife; to repair or rejuvenate the marriage; to increase the number of children on the assumption that family happiness lies that way. The point is underlined by its converse: in some societies the failure to bear children (or males) is a threat to the marriage and a ready cause for divorce.Beyond all that is the profound significance of children to the very institution of the family itself. To many people, husband and wife alone do not seem a proper family —they need children to enrich the circle, to validate its family character, to gather the redemptive influence of offspring. Children need the family, but the family seems also to need children, as the social institution uniquely available, at least in principle, for security, comfort, assurance, and direction in a changing, often hostile world. To most people, such a home base, in the literal sense, needs more than one person for sustenance and in generational extension .原译文:在某些社会中,人们希望拥有孩子是出于所谓的家庭原因:传宗接代,光宗耀祖,博取祖辈的欢心,使那些涉及到整个家族的宗教仪式得以发挥其应有的作用。

1995年英语专业八级考试--翻译部分参考译文C-E原文:简.奥斯丁的小说都是三五户人家居家度日,婚恋嫁娶的小事。
因此不少中国读者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的声誉。
但一部小说开掘得深不深,艺术和思想是否有过人之处,的确不在题材大小。
有人把奥斯丁的作品比作越咀嚼越有味道的橄榄。
这不仅因为她的语言精彩,并曾对小说艺术的发展有创造性的贡献,也因为她的轻快活泼的叙述实际上并不那么浅白,那么透明。
史密斯夫人说过,女作家常常试图修正现存的价值秩序,改变人们对“重要”和“不重要”的看法。
也许奥斯丁的小说能教我们学会转换眼光和角度,明察到“小事”的叙述所涉及的那些不小的问题。
参考译文:However, subject matter is indeed not the decisive factor by which we judge a novel of its depth as well as (of ) its artistic appeal and ideological content (or: as to whether a novel digs deep or not or whether it excels in artistic appeal and ideological content). Some people compare Austen’s works to olives: the more you chew them, the more tasty (the tastier) they become. This comparison is based not only on (This is not only because of ) her expressive language and her creative contribution to the development of novel writing as an art, but also on (because of ) the fact that what hides behind her light and lively narrative is something implicit and opaque (not so explicit and transparent). Mrs. Smith once observed, women writers often sought (made attempts) to rectify the existing value concepts (orders) by changing people’s opinions on what is “important”and what is not.E-C原文I, by comparison, living in my overpriced city apartment, walking to work past putrid sacks of street garbage, paying usurious taxes to local and state governments I generally abhor, I am rated middle class. This causes me to wonder, do the measurement make sense? Are we measuring only that which is easily measured--- the numbers on the money chart --- and ignoring values more central to the good life?For my sons there is of course the rural bounty of fresh-grown vegetables, line-caught fish and the shared riches of neighbours’orchards and gardens. There is the unpaid baby-sitter for whose children my daughter-in-law baby-sits in return, and neighbours who barter their skills and labour. But more than that, how do you measure serenity? Sense if self?I don’t want to idealize life in small places. There are times when the outside world intrudes brutally, as when the cost of gasoline goes up or developers cast their eyes on untouched farmland. There are cruelties, there is intolerance, there are all the many vices and meannesses in small places that exist in large cities. Furthermore, it is harder to ignore them when they cannot be banished psychologically to another part of town or excused as the whims of alien groups --- when they have to be acknowledged as “part of us.”Nor do I want to belittle the opportunities for smalldecencies in cities --- the eruptions of one-stranger-to-another caring that always surprise and delight. But these are,sadly,more exceptions than rules and are often overwhelmed by the awful corruptions and dangers that surround us.参考译文:对我的几个儿子来说,乡村当然有充足的新鲜蔬菜,垂钓来的鱼,邻里菜园和果园里可供分享的丰盛瓜果。

在那里,你们俩可以随意谈天,心贴得更,在街上那种贪婪的睨视,恶意的斜觑,巷里是没有的;偶然呀的一声,墙门口显现出一个人影,又往往是深居简出的姑娘,看见你们,会娇羞地返身回避了。
巷,是人海汹汹中的一道避风塘,给人带来安全感;是城市喧嚣扰攘中的一带洞天幽境,胜似皇家的阁道,便于平常百姓徘徊徜徉。
爱逐臭争利,锱铢必较的,请到长街闹市去;爱轻嘴薄舌,争是论非的,请到茶馆酒楼去;爱锣鼓钲镗,管弦嗷嘈的,请到歌台剧院去;爱宁静淡泊,沉思默想的,深深的小巷在欢迎你!背景介绍《巷》是柯灵(1909 ~ 2000 )写于1930年秋的一篇小品散文。
作者以沉挚细腻的笔调描述了江南小城市中的小巷,向往那里悠闲宁静的情调,流露出对大都市喧闹纷争生活的厌恶。
本文语言流畅,玲珑剔透,一气呵成,翻译时,应尽量再现原文的韵味。
难点解析1. 你是否觉得劳生草草:“劳生”作“辛劳的生活”解;“草草”作“忧虑”解。
全句可译为“Aren ’t you weighed down with cares in this life of hard toil...”。
weigh sb. down: depress; make tired, troubled, etc. (使闷闷不乐;使某人困乏、担心、忧虑等)。
例如,weighed down with sorrow / anxieties(因忧伤/焦虑而闷闷不乐)。
2. 身心两乏:意为“身体上和心理上都感到困乏”。
故可译为“exhausted physically and mentally”或“exhausted both in body and mind”。
3. 工余之暇:意为“不上班的休息时间”,故译为“in your off-duty hours”。
4. 会使你消除疲劳,紧张的心弦得到调整:后半句作“放松紧张的心弦”解。
译为“It will dissipate your fatigue and relieve your nervous tension”。
5. 负手行吟一阵:意为“将手放在背后,或吟诗,或作诗”。
可译为“reciting or composing poems with your hands crossed behind your back”。
6. 豁然开朗,怡然自得,物我两忘:英文习惯用doing的形式,表示伴随状态,“物我两忘”可以这样处理。
另外,“物我两忘”指“忘记自己和外面的世界”。
故译为“suddenly fall into a bright mood and enj oy inner peace, forgetting both yourself and the external world”。
7. 心贴得更近:译为“with even deeper affection”,介词短语修饰chat ,作状语。
8. 在街上那种贪婪的睨视,恶意的斜觑,巷里是没有的:可以归化为英语句型来表达“巷里是没有的”,即“巷是远离……的”,译为“free from ...”。
整句话可译成“free from greedy sidelong glances or malicious squints such as you often meet with in busy streets”。
9. 呀的一声:指“门吱呀一声开了”,故译为“at a creaking sound”。
10. 深居简出:可译为“secluded”,现译为“unsophisticated”,是按“不懂世故”之意作灵活处理。
11. 会娇羞地返身回避了:“返身回避”作“退回屋里”解,故译为“withdraw coyly into the house”。
12. 人海汹汹:译为“the turbulent sea of humans”。
13. 避风塘:指“避风的港湾”,故译为“a safe haven”。
14. 给人带来安全感:用to do不定式来翻译,故译为“to enjoy a sense of security”。
15. 洞天幽境:“洞天”本指“上天群仙居住之处”,现按“超凡的住所”译为“heavenly abode”。
16. 阁道:指古代皇家楼阁之间以木架空的通道,现以释义法把它译为“the erstwhile plank-paved path used exclusively bythe imperial family for their vehicles to move smoothly”。
17. 爱逐臭争利,锱铢必较的:中文的排比修辞法可以在英文中再现,这里可以使用“Those who...”的句型。
“爱逐臭争利,锱铢必较的”可译为“Those who strive for fame and gain, and haggle over every penny”。
Haggle over: argue, dispute, esp. the price of sth. or the terms of the bargain(争论;讨价还价)。
18. 爱轻嘴薄舌,争是论非的:译为“Those who are sharp-tongued and quarrelsome”。
19. 爱锣鼓钲镗,管弦嗷嘈的:“钲”指古代行军时用的打击乐器,有柄,形状像钟,但比钟狭而长,用铜制成。
“镗”象声词,形容打钟、敲锣、放枪一类的声音。
“嗷嘈”指声音吵闹。
只要译文可以体现一番热闹的场景即可,故译为“Those who love deafening gongs and drums as well as noisy wind and string instruments”。
20. 爱宁静淡泊,沉思默想的:译为“Those who are given to profound meditation and a quiet life without worldly desires”。
be given to 表示“习惯于;沉溺于”。
参考译文Aren’t you weighed down with cares in this life of hard toil and exhausted physically and mentally? I would like to advise you often to take a walk in the lane in your off-duty hours.That is the best way to take a rest. It will dissipate your fatigue and relieve your nervous tension. When you are dgety or depressed,go to the lane and wander around reciting or composing poems with your hands crossed behind your back. You will then suddenly fall into a bright mood and enj oy inner peace, forgetting both yourself and the external world. Don’t you have a sweetheart? Let me suggest that, instead of accompanying her on a visit to a famous park or scenic spot, you take her with you for a stroll in the lane at dawn or dusk. Over there, you two can chat freely and with even deeper affection, free from greedy sidelong glances or malicious squints such as you often meet with in busy streets. Suddenly, at a creaking sound, there may appear a gure by a door —usually an unsophisticated young girl. She will, at the sight of you, withdraw coyly into the house.The lane is a safe haven for those struggling in the turbulent sea of humans to enj oy a sense of security. It is a heavenly abode in the midst of confusion. Unlike the erstwhile plank-paved path used exclusively by the imperial family for their vehicles to move on smoothly, the lane is a place for the common people to roam about leisurely.Those who strive after fame and gain, and haggle over every penny, please go to the downtown area! Those who are sharp-tongued and quarrelsome, please go to the teahouse or restaurant! Those who love deafening gongs and drums as well as noisy wind and string instruments, please go to the opera house or theatre! Those who are given to profound meditation and a quiet life without worldly desires, welcome to the lane!。
