1992年翻译题解71) There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior referred to by the term than there is on○1○2○3how to interpret or classify them. (24 words)○4拆分：○1整句话是一个包含比较状语从句的复合句，句子的结构是：There is more agreement on... than there is on...，第一个比较对象是agreement on the kind of behavior，○2过去分词短语作定语，修饰behavior，○3than所带的第二个比较对象，○4how这个疑问词所带的不定式结构，作介词on的宾语。

炼词：1）behavior有“行为，表现”的意思。

2）refer to有“提到，谈到，所指；参看，查阅”的意思。

3）term有“学期，期间；项目，条款；术语”等意思。

短语in the long term是“从长远的观点看”的意思，in the short term有“从眼前的观点看”的意思，in terms of是“以...的观点；就...而说；在...方面”的意思。

在本句话中，term是“术语”的意思，但是结合上下文，我们可以得知这个词应该指上文的“intelligence（智力）”，所以，我们可以把term这个词翻译为“智力”。

4）interpret是“解释，说明，阐释；口译；演奏，表演”的意思，如：interpret a role （表演一个角色），interpret life（阐明人生的意义），We interpreted his silence as arefusal.（我们认为他的沉默就是拒绝）。

组合：○1主干部分There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior可以直接翻译为“对不同表现有一个更加一致”。

Despite all the many accomplishments since then, we must now acknowledge that Rio has not fulfilled the promises with which the world invested it. After 50 years of diligent and sophisticated work by environmental lawyers on legislation, regulation, principles, treaties, and judicial decisions, how is it that the “ actual landscape” of the world’s resources is still “slipping two steps backward for each forward stride”? Part of the explanation for that disappointing result can be found in the statements issued by a distinguished international collection of prosecutors, judges, and legal scholars at the Rio + 20-re-lated World Congress on Justice, Governance, and Law for Environmental Sustainability. They focused almost exclusively on matters of substantive doctrine and legal procedure. Recommitment to enhancing “law” in this narrow sense—a body of formal rules and principles and the judicial and prosecutorial mechanisms for their application and enforcement—certainly has great value, and that work should go forward vigorously. But the ongoing ecological deterioration is traceable in large part to pervasive social and political attitudes favoring a growth-based model of economic “development”that steadily intensifies human appropriation of planetary resources. To address the root of the problem, it will be argued here, environmental law needs a more expansive society-based conception of “law”, one that activates law as a social institution engaged broadly with the habits and customs, the expectations and aspirations, of people and organizations in their daily lives. Environmental lawyers, then, need a fresh and bold reimagination of their mission, to hone and use their persuasive and analytical skills in creative ways to alter the social dynamic underlying environmental change and to foment a deep commitment to effective stewardship of resources.正确答案：1992年的里约会议标志着环境法达到了最高水平。

历年高级口译考题翻译部分精解第一套英译中Since Darwin, biologists have been-firmly convinced that nature works without plan or meaning, pursuing no aim by the direct road of design. But today we see that this conviction is a fatal error. Why should evolution, exactly as Darwin knew it and described it, be planless and irrational? Do not aircraft design engineers work, at precisely that point where specific calculations and plans give out, according to the same principle of evolution, when they test the serviceability of a great number of statistically determined forms in the wind tunnel, in order to choose the one that functions best? Can we say that there is no process of natural selection when nuclear physicists, through thousands of computer operations, try to find out which materials, in which combinations and with what structural form, are best suited to the building of an atomic reactor? They also practise no designed adaptation, but work by the principle of selection. But it would never occur to anyone to call their method planless and irrational.中译英1995年10月，黄浦江上又一座大桥凌空飞架，将浦南与奉贤连接起来，成为继徐浦、南浦、杨浦三座大桥之后建成通车的第四座大桥——奉浦大桥。

1992年考研翻译真题解析71．There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior referred to by the term than there is on how to interpret or classify them.结构分析：全句属于there be +N. 结构，全句还包含了一个more…than 的比较结构，前后结构对称，都是接了一个句子。

agreement 后面跟了on the kinds of behavior 做其后置定语，behavior 后面又跟了过去分词referred to by the term作其后置定语；而than there is 后面又省略了一个相同的词汇agreement. 所以全句理解为：There（there be结构的翻译－增加泛指主语）is more（比较结构）agreement on the kinds of behavior referred to by the term than（比较结构）there is 省略（agreement）on how to interpret or classify them（指代关系）.参考译文：人们对（智力）这个词所指的各种行为的看法一致，而如何对其进行解释或分类，人们的看法则不尽相同。

测试点：比较结构；介词和过去分词做后置定语，省略；指代关系举一反三：more A than B短语的译法：1. 如果这个结构前后接的是短语，则通常翻译成为：与其说B，不与说A；或翻译成：有A无B。

比如：He is more brave than wise. 与其说他聪明，不与说他勇敢。

然后意译为：他有勇无谋。

2. 如果前后接的是句子，则常翻译为：有A，而没有B。

72．Intelligence test is a rough measure of a child’s capacity for learning, particularly for learning the kinds of things required in school. It does not measure character, social adjustment, physical endurance, manual skills, or artistic abilities. It is not supposed to---it was not designed for such purposes. 12. To criticize it for such failure is roughly comparable to criticizing a thermometer for not measuring wind velocity.结构分析：全句是用不定式To criticize it for such failure做主语（it指代什么，需要到上文去寻找，因为it是单数，应该到前面去找到一个单数名词，而前面两个句子都是用it做主语，所以再往前找到第一句的主语intelligence test，所以it应该指代前面的智力测试，）such failure属于名词指代的重要考点；（因为failure表示“没有”的意思，因此我们可以往上去找一个带有否定意思的词语，根据层层指代，such purposes, not supposed to, 再到not measure character, social adjustment，我们由此可以推断such failure 指代智力测试不能测试人的性格等特点的情况）。

1990年考研翻译真题解析46. Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological factors.结构分析在这个复合句中，代词those做主语，其后who引导的是个定语从句，修饰前面的those，其谓语是believe，后面that引导的是个宾语从句，从句里用了一个被动语态are largely determined by 。

核心词汇nature天性；personalities个性；behavior patterns行为模式；largely主要地，大多是；参考译文在这场争论中，那些赞成“天性”一方的人认为，我们的性格特征和行为模式大多是由生物因素所决定的。

测试点：定语从句，宾语从句；被动句举一反三：nurture theory后天论；sleep patterns睡眠习惯；shortly不久；nearly差不多，几乎；hardly 几乎不47. That our environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics and behavior is central to this theory.结构分析that引导的是个主语从句，主句的谓语部分是is central to，在主语从句里，if anything是个插入结构，对句子结构的理解影响不大。

核心词汇if anything 如果有的话，have …to do w ith 和… 有… 关系；is central to 是…的核心参考译文我们的环境同我们的才能、性格特征和行为，即使有什么关系的话，那也是微不足道的，这就是这种理论的核心。

3.1992年英译汉试题及参考译⽂ Intellingenceat best is an assumptive construct—the meaning of the word has never been clear.（71）There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior referred to by the term than there is on how to interpret or classify them.But it is generally agreed that a person of high intelligence is one who can grasp ideas readily，make distinctions，reason logically，and make ue of verbal and mathematical symbols in solving problems.An intelligence test is a rough measure of a child’s capacity for learning the kinds of things required in school.It does not measure character，social adjustment，physical endurance，manual skills，or artistic abilities.It is not supposed to—it was not designed for such purposes.（72）To criticise it for such failure is roughly comparable to criticising a thermometer for not measuring wind velocity. The other thing we have to notice is that the assessment of the intelligence of any subject is essentially a comparative affair. （73）Now since the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter we must be sure that the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides avalidorfaircomparison.It is here that some of the difficulties which interest us begin.Any test performed involves at least three factors:the intention to do one’s best，the knowledge required for understanding what you have to do，and the intellectual ability to do it.（74）The first two must be equal for all who are being compared，if any comparison in terms of intelligence is to be made.In school populations in our culture these assumptions can be made fair and reasonable，and the value of intelligence testing has been proved thoroughly.Its value lies，of course，in its providing a satisfactory basis for prediction.No one is in the least interested in the marks a little child gets on his test;what we are interested in is whether we can conclude from his mark on the test that the child will do better or worse than other children of his age at tasks which we think requiregeneral intelligence.（75）On the whole such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence，but only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the others with whom he is being compared，and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they possessed. 1992年英译汉试题参考译⽂ 智⼒充其量只是⼀个假设性的概念，因为智⼒的含义从来就是模糊的。
