ase to conduct a broad review of business-method patents. In re Bilski, as the case is known, is “a very big deal,” says Dennis D. Crouch of the University of Missouri School of Law. It “has the potential to eliminate an entire class of patents.”现在,该国最高专利法院似乎完全准备好要缩减商业方法专利,因为商业方法专利自从十年前第一次批准授予以来一直有争议。
在一项使得知识产权律师们议论纷纷的提议中,美国联邦巡回上诉法院声称它将利用某个具体案件来对商业方法专利进行广泛的复审。
密苏里大学法学院Dennis D. Crouch说,“正如人们所知道的那样,Bilski案例是一件非常大的事情”它可能将消除整个专利类别”。
Curbs on business-method claims would be a dramatic about-face, because it was the Federal Circuit itself that introduced such patents with its 1998 decision in the so-called State Street Bank case, approving a patent on a way of pooling mutual-fund assets. That ruling produced an explosion in business-method patent filings, initially by emerging Internet companies trying to stake out exclusive rights to specific types of online transactions. Later, more established companies raced to add such patents to their files, if only as a defensive move against rivals that might beat them to the punch. In 2005, IBM noted in a court filing that it had been issued more than 300 business-method patents, despite the fact that it questioned the legal basis for granting them. Similarly, some Wall Street investment firms armed themselves with patents for financial products, even as they took positions in court cases opposing the practice.对于商业方法诉求的限制是个戏剧性的彻底变化,因为正是联邦巡回法院自己引进了这种专利。
2014年考研英语阅读真题Text 1In order to “change lives for the better” and reduce “dependency,” George Osbome,Chancellor of the Exchequer, introduced the “upfront work search” scheme. Only if the jobless arrive at the job centre with a register for online job search, and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit-and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly. What could be more reasonable?为了“让生活变得更美好”以及减少“依赖”,英国财政大臣乔治•奥斯本引入了“求职预付金”计划。
只有当失业者带着简历到就业中心,注册在线求职并开始找工作,才有资格获得补助金——然后他们应该每周而非每两周报告一次。
有什么比这更合理呢?More apparent reasonableness followed. There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseeker’s allowance. “Those first few days should be spent looking for work, not looking to sign on.” he claimed. “We’re doing these things because we k now they help people say off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster” Help? Really? On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better, complete with “reforms” to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsides laziness. What motivated him, we were to understand, was his zeal for “fundamental fairness”-protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits.更加明显的合理性如下。

考研英语一翻译真题2023考研英语一翻译真题2023词汇是英语学习的门槛,发觉身边许多同学之所以对英语不感爱好或者说是惧怕,就是由于起初词汇学习和背单词这块没有把握系统科学的学习方法,下文是我为你细心编辑整理的考研英语一翻译真题,期望对你有所帮忙,更多内容,请点击相关栏目查看,感谢!考研英语一翻译真题1Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)Shakespeare’s life time was coincident with a period of extraordinary activity and achievement in the drama. By the date of his birth Europe was witnessing the passing of the religious drama, and the creation of new forms under the incentive of classical tragedy and comedy. These new forms were at first mainly written by scholars and performed by amateurs, but in England, as everywhere else in western Europe, the growth of a class of professional actors was threatening to make the drama popular, whether it should be new or old, classical or medieval, literary or farcical. Court, school organizations of amateurs, and the traveling actors were all rivals in supplying a widespread desire for dramatic entertainment; and (47) no boy who went a grammar school could be ignorant that the drama wasa form of literature which gave glory to Greece and Rome and might yet bring honor to England.When Shakespeare was twelve years old, the first public playhouse was built in London. For a time literature showed no interest in this public stage. Plays aiming at literary distinction were written for school or court, or for the choir boys of St. Paul’s and the royal chapel, who, however, gave plays in public as well as at court.(48)but the professional companies prospered in their permanent theaters, and university men with literature ambitions were quick to turn to these theaters as offering a means of livelihood. By the time Shakespeare was twenty-five, Lyly, Peele, and Greene had made comedies that were at once popular and literary; Kyd had written a tragedy that crowded the pit; and Marlowe had brought poetry and genius to triumph on the common stage - where they had played no part since the death of Euripides. (49)A native literary drama had been created, its alliance with the public playhouses established, and at least some of its great traditions had been begun.The development of the Elizabethan drama for the next twenty-five years is of exceptional interest to students of literary history, for in this brief period we may trace the beginning, growth, blossoming, and decay of many kinds of plays, and of many great careers. We are amazed today at the mere number of plays produced, as well as by the number of dramatists writing at the same time for this London of two hundred thousand inhabitants. (50)To realize how great was the dramatic activity, we must remember further that hosts of plays have been lost, and that probably there is no author of note whose entire workhas survived.考研英语一翻译真题2Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration-one the great folk wanderings of history-swept from Europe to America. (46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.(47) The United States is the product of two principal forces-the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas,customs and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe. Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world. (48) But the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible. But the result was a new social pattern which, although it resembledEuropean society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American.(49) The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the 15th-and-16th-century explorations of North America. In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. During their six-to twelve-week voyage, they survived on barely enough food allotted to them. Many of the ships were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease, and infants rarely survived the journey. Sometimes storms blew the vessels far off their course, and often calm brought unbearably long delay.To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brought almost inexpressible relief. Said one recorder of events, The air at twelve leagues distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden. Thecolonists first glimpse of the new land was a sight of dense woods.(50)The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia. Here was abundant fuel and lumber. Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores.考研英语一翻译真题3Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate theunderlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)It is speculated that gardens arise from a basic need in the individuals who made them: the need for creative expression. There is no doubt that gardens evidence an impossible urge to create, express, fashion, and beautify and thatself-expression is a basic human urge; (46) Yet when one looks at the photographs of the garden created by the homeless, it strikes one that , for all their diversity of styles, these gardens speak os various other fundamental urges, beyond that of decoration and creative expression.One of these urges had to do with creating a state of peace in the midst of turbulence, a “still point of the turning world,” to borrow a phrase from T. S. Eliot. (47)A sacred place of peace, however crude it may be, is a distinctly human need, as opposed to shelter, which is a distinctly animal need. This distinction is so much so that where the latter is lacking, as it is for these unlikely gardens, the foemer becomes all the more urgent. Composure is a state of mind made possible by the structuring of one’s relation to one’s environment. (48) The gardens of the homeless which are in effect homeless gardens introduce from into an urban environment where it either didn’t exist or was not discernible as such. In s o doing they give composure to a segment of the inarticulate environment in which they take their stand.Another urge or need that these gardens appear to respond to, or to arise from is so intrinsic that we are barely ever conscious of its abiding claims on us. When we are deprived ofgreen, of plants, of trees, (49)most of us give into a demoralization of spirit which we usually blame on some psychological conditions, until one day we find ourselves in garden and feel the expression vanish as if by magic. In most of the homeless gardens of New York City the actual cultivation of plants is unfeasible, yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attempts to call arrangement of materials, an institution of colors, small pool of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals. On display here are various fantasy elements whose reference, at some basic level, seems to be the natural world. (50)It is this implicit or explicit reference to nature that fully justifies the use of word garden though in a “liberated” sense, to describe these synthetic constructions. In them we can see biophilia- a yearning for contact with nonhuman life-assuming uncanny representational forms.考研英语一翻译真题4Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written on the ANSWER SHEET(10 points)Music means different things to different people and sometimes even different things to the same person at different moments of his life. It might be poetic, philosophical, sensual, or mathematical, but in any case it must, in my view, have something to do with the soul of the human being. Hence it is metaphysical; but the means of expression is purely andexclusively physical: sound. I believe it is precisely this permanent coexistence of metaphysical message through physical means that is the strength of music.46) It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words, all we can do is articulate our reactions to it, and not grasp music itself.Beethoven’s importance in music has been principally defined by the revolutionary nature of his compositions. He freed music from hitherto prevailing conventions of harmony and structure. Sometimes I feel in his late works a will to break all signs of continuity. The music is abrupt and seemingly disconnected, as in the last piano sonata. In musical expression, he did not feel restrained by the weight of convention. 47) By all accounts he was a freethinking person, and a courageous one, and I find courage an essential quality for the understanding, let alone the performance, of his works.This courageous attitude in fact becomes a requirement for the performers of Beethoven’s music. His co mpositions demand the performer to show courage, for example in the use of dynamics. 48) Beethoven’s habit of increasing the volume with an extreme intensity and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage was only rarely used by composers before him.Beethoven was a deeply political man in the broadest sense of the word. He was not interested in daily politics, but concerned with questions of moral behavior and the larger questions of right and wrong affecting the entire society.49) Especially significant was his view of freedom, which, for him, was associated with the rights and responsibilities of theindividual: he advocated freedom of thought and of personal expression.Beethoven’s music tends to move from chaos to order as if order were an imperative of human existence. For him, order does not result from forgetting or ignoring the disorders that plague our existence; order is a necessary development, an improvement that may lead to the Greek ideal of spiritual elevation. It is not by chance that the Funeral March is not the last movement of the Eroica Symphony, but the second, so that suffering does not have the last word. 50) One could interpret much of the work of Beethoven by saying that suffering is inevitable, but the courage to fight it renders life worth living.考研英语一文档内容到此结束,欢迎大家下载、修改、丰富并分享给更多有需要的人。
考研英语一翻译方法考研英语一翻译方法精选篇1一、前置译法如果一个定语从句在句中的作用是修饰和限定名词,那么通常就采取译为前置定语的方法。
但注意译成前置定语后既不能影响原文所表达的意思,还要使整个句子的表达言简意赅、连贯通顺、语气较强。
例句:Water, which is a clear liquid, has many uses.译文:水是一种清澈的液体,有许多用途。
在前置译法的过程中如果定语从句中的谓语不含有具体意义,可省译从句中的谓语。
这种译法很简便,也很有效。
有时候,出于汉语行文的需要和逻辑关系方面的考虑,可将定语从句提在主语之前翻译,用来说明情况,但不作为被修饰名词的定语。
例句:There are also great advantages that come from the variety of culture brought by settlers from other lands.译文:移民从个地方带来了多种文化,产生了极大的好处。
二、后置译法我们都知道,英语中很多定语从句都是为了连接两个具有共同名词的句子而存在的,因此在翻译时最好分为两个分句。
而对于起限定作用的定语从句,如果结构较为复杂,句子太长,无法译成前置的定语,最后就译成一个后置的并列分句,这样更合乎汉语的习惯。
例句:Our war against terror is a contest of will in which perseverance is power.译文:我们的战争是一场意志力的较量。
在这场较量中,不屈不挠的精神就是力量。
结构较复杂的定语从句常译成后置的并列分句,在多数情况下要重译先行词,或即便句子不长,出于某种原因需要强调先行词,也要重译先行词。
例句:Days and nights are very long on the moon, where one day is as long as two weeks on the earth.译文:在月亮上,白天和黑夜都相当长,月亮上的一天等于地球上的两周。
英语二Text 11---Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents; but in recent years it has been particularly scorned. School districts across the country; most recently Los Angeles Unified; are revising修改their thinking on his educational ritual例行公事. Unfortunately; L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible 不可变更的policy which mandates批准that with the exception of some advanced courses; homework may no longer count for more than 10% of a student’s academic grade..家庭作业从来就没有受到学生甚至家长的真正欢迎;但最近几年来;家庭作业却受到人们的鄙视..全国的学校都在修改家庭作业的相关惯例做法..不幸的是;洛杉矶学区通过了一项不可变更的政策:除了高等课程;家庭作业在学分中所占比例不可以超过10%..21.It is implied in paragraph 1 that nowadays homework_____..A is receiving more criticismB is no longer an educational ritual绝对C is not required for advanced courses正反D is gaining more preferences正反2---This rule is meant to address the difficulty that students from impoverished or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly; no homework should be assigned that students cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives; it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor children..这个规定旨在提出:来自贫穷家庭或混乱家庭的学生有困难;不能完成家庭作业..但该政策是不清晰的;是矛盾的..显然;没有哪个家庭作业是在没有昂贵设备就无法完成的..但如果该学区因为学生家庭复杂而不做家庭作业就给他通过的话;那么这就意味着对于贫穷孩子;标准要降低..22.L.A.Unified has made the rule about homework mainly because poor students_____..Atend to have moderate expectations for their educationBhave asked for a different educational standardCmay have problems finishing their homeworkDhave voiced their complaints about homework3---District administrators say that homework will still be a part of schooling: teachers are allowed to assign as much of it as they want. But with homework counting for no more than 10% of their grades; students can easily skip half their homework and see vey little difference on their report cards. Some students might do well on state tests without completing their homework; but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework It is quite possible that the homework helped. Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what works best for their students; the policy imposes a flat; across-the-board rule..区政府官员说;家庭作业仍将是学校教育的一部分:老师允许布置他想布置的作业..但家庭作业算入他们成绩的比例不能超过10%的话;学生就能逃避一半家庭作业;成绩报告单上看不出差别..有些学生可能不做完家庭作业也能取得好成绩..但想想那些做家庭作业并取得考试好成绩的学生吧;家庭作业完全有可能帮助了他们..但是;老师没有得到授权去寻找什么作业最适合学生;该政策给老师强加了一条无聊的一刀切规则..23.According to Paragraph 3;one problem with the policy is that it may____..Adiscourage students from doing homeworkBresult in students' indifference to their report cardsCundermine the authority of state testsDrestrict teachers' power in education4---At the same time; the policy addresses none of the truly thorny questions about homework. If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students’ academic achievement; it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments; not make them count for almost nothing. Conversely; if homework matters; it should account for a significant portion of the grade. Meanwhile; this policy does nothing to ensure that the homework students receive is meaningful or appropriate to their age and the subject; or that teachers aren't assigning more than they're willing to review and correct.同时;该政策没有处理家庭作业真正棘手的问题..如果该学区发现家庭作业对于孩子的学业是不重要的;它就应该减少或者免除家庭作业;而不是减少所占比分..相反;如果家庭作业重要;它就应该在成绩中重要比重..同时;该政策没有确保学生做的家庭作业是否是有意义的;或者是否适合他们年龄和所上学科;或者老师是否不过量布置作业..24. As mentioned in Paragraph 4; a key question unanswered about homework is whether______.A it should be eliminated Bit counts much in schoolingcount表示重要C it places extra burdens on teachers Dit is important for grades原版5---The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board; which is responsible for setting educational policy; looks into the matter and conducts public hearings.

1---The decision of the New York Philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment in 2009.

Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in the Times, calls him “an unpretentious(隐性猜词题)musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.但是,聘任来得如此突然的原因之一是Gilbert不怎么出名。

考研英语:翻译真题精讲(1)一、全真试题The standardized educational or psychological tests that are widely used to aid in selecting,classifying,assigning,or promoting students,employees,and military personnel have been the target of recent attacks in books,magazines,the daily press,and even in Congress.(71)The target is wrong,for in attacking the tests,critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users. The tests themselves are merely tools,with characteristics that can be measured with reasonable precision under specified conditions. Whether the results will be valuable,meaningless,or even misleading depends partly upon the tool itself but largely upon the user.All informed predictions of future performance are based upon some knowledge of relevant past performance: school grades,research productivity,sales records,or whatever is appropriate.(72)How well the predictions will be validated by later performance depends upon the amount,reliability,and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted. Anyone who keeps careful score knows that the information available is always incomplete and that the predictions are always subject to error.Standardized tests should be considered in this context. They provide a quick objective method of getting some kinds of information about what a person learned,the skills he has developed,or the kind of person he is. The information so obtained has,qualitatively,the same advantages and shortcomings as other kinds of information.(73)Whether to use tests,other kinds of information,or both in a particular situation depends,therefore,upon the evidence from experience concerning comparative validity and upon such factors as cost and availability.(74)In general, the tests work most effectively when the qualities to be measured can be most precisely defined and least effectively when what is to be measured or predicated cannot be well defined. Properly used,they provide a rapid means of getting comparable information about many people. Sometimes they identify students whose high potential has not been previously recognized,but there are many things they do not do.(75)For example,they do not compensate for gross social inequality,and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.二、翻译题解(71)The targetiswrong,forin attacking the tests, criticsdivertattention from the faultthatlies withill-informed or incompetent users.句子拆分:拆分点参考:标点符号,从属连词The target is wrong, //for in attacking the tests, //critics divert attention from the fault //that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users.解析:(1)句子的主干为The target is wrong;后面跟了个for引导的状语从句。
考研英语翻译技巧大全(一)音译加注由于英汉文化存在许多差异,因此英语中某些文化词语在汉语中根本就没有对等词,形成了词义上的空缺。
在这种情况下,英译汉时常常要采用加注法来弥补空缺。
加注通常可以用来补充诸如背景材料、词语起源等相关信息,便于读者理解。
加注法可分为音译加注和直译加注两种。
音译加注指音译后附加解释性注释。
注释可长可短,可采用文中注释,也可采用脚注,还可二者合用。

In the movies and on television, artificial intelligence(AI) is typically depicted as something sinister that will upend our way of life. When it comes to AI in business, we often hear about it in relation to automation and the impending loss of jobs, but in what ways is AI changing companies and the larger economy that don’t involve doom-and-gloom mass unemployment predictions?depict v.描绘;描画;描写;描述;刻画sinister adj.不祥的;险恶的;邪恶的;有凶兆的upend vt.倒立;倒放;翻倒;使颠倒Impending adj.迫在眉睫的;即将发生的v.(事件,危险等)逼近;即将临头;吊(在上头)在电影和电视剧中,人工智能总是被刻画成能够颠覆我们生活方式的不祥之物。

2021考研英语(一)阅读翻译及解析2021Text 1Come on –Everybody’s doing it. That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good-drinking, drugs and casual sex. But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the word.得了吧, 每个人都这样啊. 这种说法一半是邀请,一半是强制。
当我们听到“同辈(趋同)压力”这个词组的时候我们想到的就是这种说法。
这种信息一般让人想到不好的事情,比如喝酒,吸毒,一夜情。
但是,在她的新书《参加这个俱乐部》, Tina Rosenberg认为,纯粹压力也是一种积极的力量,通过她所说的社会治疗,公司和官方人员可以使用群体力量去帮助个人提高他们的生活,而且也有可能提高整个人类世界的生活。
Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host of example of the social cure in action: In South Carolina, a state-sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool. In South Africa, anHIV-prevention initiative known as LoveLife recruits young people to promote safe sex among their peers.Rosenberg是普利策奖获得者,他提供了许多社会治疗的例子:在南卡罗莱纳州,一个州资助的反对抽烟的项目叫做“向烟雾宣战”就旨在控制好烟草销售。
