1、set up a family。有同学容易使用start a family。start a family表示begin to have children开始生儿育女。越来越：一般看到越来越大家习惯译为more and more,比如越来越多的人more and more people,但译为a growing number of people可令人眼前为之一亮；而表达变得越来越的含义时,使用become increasingly的译法更好。物价的不断上涨：constantly rising prices,而不是price rising。表达点评：本句是一个表转折关系的并列句,后半句中的物价的不

2、断上涨使这一切中的这一切指代前半句中提到的结婚意味着独立组建家庭,因此,用which引导的非限制性定语从句,让整个句子简洁明了。使字句的翻译：物价的不断上涨是这一切变得困难的原因,因此处理为原因状语,用because of来带出原因。2. 过去十年中国房地产real estate行业高速发展。The past decade has witnessed a high-speed development in Chinas real estate.十年：decade高速发展：develop rapidly; high-speed development本句可直译为For the past deca

3、de, Chinas real estate developed rapidly,但如果以过去十年作为主语,套用句型time + see / witness + sth.则表达更加生动形象,更易提分。see / witness意为见证,证明,具体使用时注意时态应和语境一致。所以本句译为：The past decade has witnessed更地道,注意这里使用现在完成时。作主语时,注意动词短语高速发展要转换为名词短语。3. 胡同Hutong是北京的一大特色,有着与北京城一样久远的历史。Hutong, with a history as long as that of Beijing cit

4、y, is a major feature of Beijing.特色：feature; characteristic与一样：as as文化类段落翻译中经常考到特色一词的翻译,大家一定要牢记。前半句胡同Hutong是北京的一大特色是句子主干,后半句有着与北京城一样久远的历史可用介词短语with a history as long as that of Beijing city来表达,以插入语的形式置于主语之后,这样整个句子的中心更突出。二、考场强心针：1. 问：翻译过程中,表达优美重要,还是正确性重要？答：正确性更重要。如果觉得自己不能翻得特别好,那就首先保证尽可能少的语法错误,意思表达到即可

5、,抓到分是关键。2. 问：平时积累了不少词汇和表达,到了翻译段落时,突然不会了,最后翻得不是太好？这种情况分两种原因：1太急着下笔,段落含义没有理解透彻。同学在做汉译英时,一定要首先认真把整个中文段落多读几遍,理顺其中隐含的逻辑关系和信息,确定用哪个词做主语、谓语、定语,然后再下笔真正开始翻译。2同学的语法功底稍有欠缺,这种情况,尽量把汉语的长句子拆成短句子。同样是要多读中文,才能先把中文拆分好,然后逐句、逐句去翻译。3. 问：我翻译的时态总跟答案的时态有出入,怎么办？举几个实例来跟同学讲解下。1遇到近年来某种现象越来越的表达。首先揣摩该现象是否有正在进行而且将一直持续下去的趋势,如果符合该条

6、件,使用现在进行时就可以把这个隐含意义完美表达出来。2强调过去某一现象或从过去延续至今的动作对现在造成的影响,多用现在完成时态。比如过去十年,中国的房地产业经历了前所未有的高速增长。这句中就要使用现在完成时态而非一般过去时。11.大事化小小事化了 try first to make their mistake sound less serious and then to reduce it to nothing at all12.大开眼界 open ones eyes; broaden ones horizon; be an eye-opener13.国泰民安 The country flou
