三、篇章翻译(英译汉)(本大题共24分,共 3 小题,每小题 8 分)1.There were already four male candidates in the boss’s office. Obviously, the boss had difficulty in deciding whom he would employ because he said finally, “Well, I need to check your references before I can make a decision. I’ve got your telephone numbers and will call the boy I want. But remember whoever is going to be employed must be prepared to work here from 6:00 to 8:00 every evening. That’s all.”2.“If I just eat less, I will lose weight.” Many people only focus on the amount of food they take in each day. They don’t pay attention to what they’re eating. So they may be eating less, but they’re not eating healthily. Be sure to eat a good balance of different foods, including vegetables, fruits, meat, milk, and bread or rice. What you eat is just as important as how much you eat.3.When I was quite young, my family had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. Soon I discovered that somewhere inside that wonderful device lived an amazing person — her name was “Information Please” and there was nothing she did not know. My mother could as k her for anybody’s number; when our cloc k stopped, Information Please gave us the correct time at once.四、写作(本大题共40分,共 4 小题,每小题 10 分)1.假如你是贫困地区的一名失学少年,名叫李芳。

第一次翻译内容留守儿童来源:2016年六级预测话题:教育创建者:安徽农业大学李梅留守儿童(left-behind children)很容易面临情感关怀的缺失。
父母外出务工后,他们大多由祖父母或亲友临时监护。
他们无法像其他孩子一样得到父母的养育,而祖父母又极可能缺乏养育的精力和能力。
这种亲情和关怀的缺失,已严重影响了留守儿童的心理健康发展。
更为严峻的挑战是,留守儿童群体还在不断扩大。
据最新统计,目前全国农村留守儿童人数已达6102万,占全国儿童总数的21.88%,比五年前增加了近300万人。
如何让这些占全国儿童总人数超过五分之一的孩子们更健康成长,不仅是对弱势群体应有的关爱,更是社会健康发展的必要条件。
The left-behind children easily suffer from the lack of emotional support. Since their parents are migrant workers, they are mostly left in the care of their grandparents, relatives or family friends. Unlike other children, they don't have their parents to care for them, and much too often , their grandparents don't have the energy or capability to look after them. The absence of such support and care seriously influences the healthy psychological development of these children. An even more pressing issue is the fact that the number of the left-behind children is still growing. According to the latest statics, the number has reached 61.02 million, which is three million more than five years ago, accounting for 21.88 percent of China’s children. Giving them a healthy upbringing isn’t just about providing this vulnerable group with the care they are entitled to and deserve—it is also a prerequisite to the healthy development of Chinese society.第二次翻译景德镇来源:2015年六级预测话题:文化创建者:句酷批改网景德镇(Jingdezhen)位于江西省东北部,以瓷器而闻名,历来被誉为中国的“千年瓷都”。
翻译技巧之重复法重复法是指在译文中适当地重复原文中出现过的词语,以使意思表达得更加清楚;或者进一步加强语气,突出强调某些内容,收到更好的修辞效果。
下面就一起来看看具体的重复法翻译技巧吧!翻译技巧之重复法1一、重复名词1.重复英语中作宾语的名词Students must be cultivated to have the ability to analyze and solve problems.必须培养学生分析问题和解决问题的能力。
They would be very reluctant to postpone or cancel the meeting.他们不太愿意推迟这个会议或者取消这个会议。
2.重复英语中作表语的名词This has been our position—but not theirs.这一直是我们的立场——而不是他们的立场。
John is your friend as much as he is mine.约翰既是你的朋友,又是我的朋友。
3.重复英语介词前所省略的名词英语中常重复使用介词,而将第二个、第三个介词前的名词省略,翻译时则往往可以重复这些省略的名词。
The doctor will get more practice out of me than out of seventeen hundred ordinary patients.医生从我身上得到的实践,地比从一千七百个普通病人身上得到的实践还多。
4.重复定语从句中作先行词的名词英语定语从句常用关系词引导,它一方面代表定语从句所修饰的那个先行词(通常是名词、名词短语或代词),一方面在从句中担任一个成分。
汉语中没有关系词,往往需要重复这个作先行词的名词。
He gave ma a book which I kept to this day.他曾经送给我一本书。
这本书我一直保存至今。
Yesterday afternoon, I met an old friend of mine, who said that he would go abroad the next week.昨天下午,我遇到了一位老朋友。
西方翻译简史谭载喜,西方翻译简史商务印书馆,2004西方翻译在历史上曾出现过六次高潮(六个大的阶段):肇始阶段:公元前四世纪末,盛极一时的希腊奴隶社会开始衰落,罗马逐渐强大。
但当时希腊文化优于罗马文化,对罗马有巨大吸引力。
翻译介绍希腊古典作品的活动可能即始于这一时期。
到了公元前三世纪中叶,有文字记录的翻译问世。
被誉为罗马文学三大鼻祖的安德罗尼柯、涅维乌斯和恩尼乌斯,以及普劳图斯、泰伦斯等大文学家都用拉丁语翻译或改编荷马史诗和希腊戏剧作品。
这是欧洲也是整个西方历史上第一次大规模的翻译活动,其历史功绩在于:它开创了翻译的局面,把古希腊文学特别是戏剧介绍到罗马,促进了罗马文学的诞生和发展,对于罗马以至后世西方继承古希腊文学起来重要的桥梁作用。
第二次高潮涌现于罗马帝国的后期至中世纪初期,是宗教性质的。
《圣经》由希伯来语和希腊语写成,必须译成拉丁语才能为罗马人接受。
因此,在较早时期就有人将《圣经》译成拉丁语,到公元四世纪达到高潮,出现了形形色色的译本,以哲罗姆于382至405年翻译的《通俗拉丁文本圣经》为定本,标志《圣经》翻译取得了与世俗文学翻译分庭抗礼的重要地位。
第三次翻译高潮中世纪中期,即11-12世纪之间,西方翻译家们云集西班牙的托莱多,把大批作品从阿拉伯语译成拉丁语,这是史上少有基督徒和穆斯林的友好接触,也是西方翻译史第三次高潮。
托莱多成为欧洲的学术中心,翻译及学术活动延续了达百余年之久,影响深远。
第四次翻译高潮14至16世纪欧洲发生的文艺复兴运动,是一场思想和文学革新的大运动,也是翻译史上的一次大发展。
特别是文艺复兴在欧洲各国普遍展开的16世纪及随后一个时期,翻译活动达到前所未有的高峰。
翻译活动深入思想、政治、哲学、文学、宗教等各国领域,涉及到古代和当时的主要作品,产生了一大批杰出的翻译家和一系列优秀的翻译作品。
在德国,宗教改革家路德,顺从民众的意愿,采用民众语言,于1522-1534年翻译刊行第一部“民众的圣经”,开创了现代德语发展的新纪元。

去乡下过暑假的英语作文带翻译暑假的生活像一个五彩斑斓的梦,怎么写一篇带有译文的到乡下过暑假的英语作文呢?下面是店铺给大家整理的去乡下过暑假的英语作文带翻译,供你参考!去乡下过暑假的英语作文带翻译篇1When the summer vacation arrived, I returned to the south and followed my grandfather to the countryside at 9 am. I had not yet come to the countryside to play. In the country, there were rice on the side of the road. When I got to my destination, it was very hot. Cicadas in the tree in the call as if to say: "so hot, so hot......" I have nothing to do, all of a sudden, I thought of a good idea, I went to friends there, said: "go, buddy, let's go to catch cicadas." My opinion was unanimous. With the tools of catching cicadas, we set out. We walked along the side of the road, and suddenly, I saw a cicadas, my eyes were shining with gold, I took the net and shouted, "die!" I didn't use the "law net" to catch it, and it ran away. I learned from this failure to be careful not to act recklessly. As the saying goes, "you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." The second time, I learned the lesson from the last time, and I crept under a tree, and then a net, but let it fly away. The third time, I caught a cicada, but when I put it in the box, I didn't catch and fly away. After three times of failure, I finally realize the skill of catching cicada, has caught many cicadas, partners are looking at me, I returned home to eat.This summer vacation is very interesting. It brings me a lot of laughter and happiness.暑假到了,我回到南雄,跟着爷爷从早上9点去乡下那里玩,我这个城里来的还没有到过乡下里玩呢!走进乡下,路旁也有稻子。
What's the carbon footprint of the internet?<<The Guardian>> 2010.8.12互联网的碳足迹The internet releases around 300m tonnes of CO2 a year – as much as all the coal, oil and gas burned in Turkey or Poland, or more than half of the fossil fuels burned in the UK.互联网每年释放大约3亿吨的二氧化碳-相当于土耳其或波兰一年煤、石油和天然气的释放量,或超过英国化石燃料燃烧释放的一半。
All carbon footprints are hard or impossible to pin down accurately, but the internet is a particularly complex case. This isn't just due to the fact that the "net" consists of millions or even billions of machines owned by countless people and companies. There's also another problem: even if we knew exactly how much energy all these devices consumed (which we don't), we still wouldn't know how much of that energy was spent on offline jobs (such as creating documents in Microsoft Office) and how much was spent on online jobs (such as emailing those documents to a friend or colleague).所有的碳足迹很难并且不可能确切统计,并且互联网是一个特别复杂的情况。
这不仅仅是因为有这样一个现实,既―网‖是由百万计甚至亿万记得及其构成被无数的个人或公司拥有。
并且有另外的问题:就算我们精确知道这些设备的能源消耗(其中我们不知道),我们也不能知道我们在离线工作(如在微软办公软件编辑文档)和在线工作(如把这些文档发给朋友或同事)耗费了多少能量pin down 确定;使受约束;阻止countless [ˈkaʊntlɪs] adj.无数的,多得数不清的;恒河沙数;指不胜屈;数不胜数device [diˈvais]n.装置,设备;设计;策略;图案文档It's possible, nonetheless, to take a rough stab at working out the internet's carbon footprint. A good place to start is the world's data centres – buildings packed top to bottom with servers full of the web pages, databases, online applications and downloadable files that make the modern online experience possible. Data centres uselots of electricity, both for powering the machines they contain and – all importantly –for the air conditioning needed to keep the servers from overheating.虽然如此,粗略估算出互联网的碳足迹是有可能的。
一个很好的起点就是世界的数据中心—-将服务器至上而下用完整的网页,数据库,网络运用程序和文件下载使网络尽可能运用使其全面工作。
数据中心耗费大量的电能,这些电能用于维持机器的运转包含和—更重要的—空调用于防止服务器过热。
nonetheless [ˈnʌnðəˈles]adv.虽然如此,但是rough [rʌf] adj.粗糙的,崎岖不平的;粗鲁的;狂暴的,汹涌的;未经加工的stab [stæb] vt.刺;将……刺入;对……做出刺或戳的动作;刺vi.用或似用带尖的武器刺;刺伤;戳n.用或似用带尖武器刺的伤口;尝试;突发的一阵According to a report by Gartner, data centres already account for around a quarter of the energy consumed (and the carbon emitted) by the information and communication technology (ICT) sector as a whole. In other words, around half a percent of global CO2 emissions.据加特纳称,信息和通讯中心作为一个整体,其数据数据中心已经约占四分之一的能源消费(碳排放)。
换句话说,大约是全球碳排放的一半。
By Gartner's figures, the world's PCs and monitors are even more power hungry, accounting for around 40% of the total ICT energy demand and 0.8% of global CO2 emissions. If we decided (somewhat arbitrarily) that half of the emissions from all these laptop and desktop machines were down to internet-based activity, and then add on the emissions from the data centres that make all this online activity possible, then the internet would clock in at around 1% of all the CO2 emissions released from burning fossil fuels. Put another way, the internet releases around 300m tonnes of CO2 – as much as all the coal, oil and gas burned in Turkey or Poland in one year, or more than half of those burned in the UK.通过查看加特纳的数据,全球个人计算机和显示器甚至耗费更多能量,占信息通信技术能量需求总额的40%和全球二氧化碳排放量的0.8%。
如果我们决定(有点武断地),从所有这些笔记本电脑和台式电脑一半的排放都到基于互联网的活动,然后添加在排放的数据中心,使这一切成为可能,那么在线活动互联网将杯记为排放了大约1%的二氧化碳温室气体相当于燃烧化石燃料。
换句话说, 互联网每年释放大约3亿吨的二氧化碳-相当于土耳其或波兰一年煤、石油和天然气的释放量,或超过英国化石燃料燃烧释放的一半。
emission [ɪˈmɪʃən] n.排放,辐射;排放物,散发物(尤指气体);(书刊)发行,发布(通知)arbitrarily [ˈɑ:bəˈtrerəlɪ] adv.任意地;武断地;反复无常地;肆意地These figures tie in fairly well with a study by the UK's market transformation programme, which concluded that 343.5 million tonnes of CO2 was down to consumer and commercial ICT in 2005 – equivalent to around 1.2% of current fossil-fuel CO2 emissions. ICT's footprint is due to climb by 60% by 2030, the same report suggests. If that was to happen, and global emissions had already fallen by then, as climate change experts suggest they must, then the internet's share of total carbon output would climb significantly higher still.这些数字在相当程度上与一项由英国市场改造项目相符合,它得出结论说,以致在2005年消费和信息通信技术排除3.435亿吨的二氧化碳——相当于,目前约1.2%的化石燃料燃烧的二氧化碳排放量。
到2030年信息通信技术的碳足迹是到将上升60%,同样的报告显示。
如果那样的话,全球碳排放量已经下跌之后,随着气候变化专家表明它们肯定会,互联网所排放的碳的分量占碳排放的分量将大幅上升至更高。
transformation [ˈtrænsfəˈmeɪʃən, -fɔ:r-]n.变化;<核>转换;<语>转换;<电>变换consumer [kənˈsju:mə] n.消费者,顾客;[生态]取食者,食物链中以其他生物为食物的生物significantly [sɪgˈnɪfəkəntlɪ] adv.意味深长地;值得注目地All this depends on what happens between now and then, of course. Companies have already been exploring technologies that can take the heat from data centres and use them to warm nearby buildings, thereby reducing internal air-conditioning requirements and local demand for heating fuels. And Iceland, which has an abundance of renewable, low-carbon energy is angling to be the world's data-centre capital.所有这一切都取决于所发生的,在此期间,当然。
