8、对英语四六级翻译考试英语四六级考试改革后,翻译部分由原来的单句汉译英“换装”为段落汉译英,四级翻译段落有140-160个汉字,六级有180-200个汉字。翻译长度的增加无疑给广大考生增加了一定难度,但是对比四六级考试委员会给出的样题,我们可以发现,改革前后的翻译考点与之前的考点基本是一致的,无外乎中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等主题,这就为考生的备考提供了一些启示。那么,考生该如何复习翻译,夺取高分呢?翻译策略指点:稳定心态,挖掘考点、有的放矢,增强训练是攻克翻译这座大山的不二法宝。1. 挖掘考点:由样题和2012年12月的真题可以看出,翻译题越来越重视中国的历史、文化,也就是越来越接地气。
9、所以,建议考生有意识的积累和背诵一些和中国节日、历史事件、经济和社会发展相关的词汇。关注以反映中国社会为主的一些英文杂志和报纸。例如中国日报及其网站。大家每天看看网站中头条新闻,配合中文新闻的背景,就可以学到很多表达。推荐一个中国日报网站下面的一个小栏目:language tips,有大量简单实用的双语文章。2. 实战演练:【汉译英】波士顿咨询公司最近做的一项研究显示,到2020年中国将会有2.2亿家庭收入在2万到100万美元的富裕消费者。这些消费者中75%住在 “较小城市”。随着网络的发展,较小城市的消费者的一种必然趋势是他们更加依赖社交网络服务上的信息。很多网络顾客都是通过微信、微博和QQ
10、空间分组的。据估计今年中国将会有2.5亿消费者进行网购,位于四线城市的消费者平均每人会花费他们50%或者更高的工资在网购上,这一数据要比一线城市的消费者的花费高。【参考译文】A recent study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group says there will be 220 million affluent consumers, who are from households earning between $ 20,000 to $ 1 million, in China by 2020, and 75 percent of them
11、will live in “smaller” cities. With the development of the Internet, an inevitable trend among these consumers is they are much more dependent on information from social networking services. Many of the websites customers are “grouped” by Wechat, Weibo and QQ Zones. It is now estimated that 250 mill

13、最后结果是不理想的。所以提醒同学们在翻译上,要突出其灵活性。下面以四六级翻译样题为例。例:剪纸.以增加喜庆气氛。灵活性分析:在这句话中剪纸不是重点,因为考虑到考生不一定知道剪纸怎么表达,试卷中已经告诉考生了paper cutting。但是“增加喜庆气氛”却没有给出提示,我们来具体分析应该如何翻译:1、气氛当然能想到用atmosphere是最好的,但如果真的想不到,那就灵活一点。什么叫“气氛”,不就是一个热热闹闹的氛围, 一个热热闹闹的环境吗。所以就算想不到atmosphere,我们还可以用climate,甚至用mood也可以,气氛本来就是人的主观感受。没必要死扣在一个词上,一定要灵活。2、喜庆
14、的参考答案给出的joyous 当然是个很好的选择,但我们也可以用joyful,甚至你可以问一下自己,什么是“喜庆的”?不就是开开心心吗,所以用happy替换也可以。3、增加一说到增加,相信十个人有十个人的第一会反应会是:increase。其实这就是个中文英文思维的差别。我们中文说“增加氛围”,但英文中不是这么说的,是“强化氛围”,所以用increase 搭配氛围就是一种“中文式英文”,所以用“enhance”搭配会更地道。所以整个表达翻译为:Paper carton enhances the joyous/joyful/happy atmosphere/mood/climate.总而言之,做汉
15、译英一定要“灵活”,某个概念不会,就先用中文问问自己,这个概念的具体中文含义是什么,然后换个别的词就可以了。英语六级翻译新题型备考词汇:中国传统文化英语六级翻译改革后,翻译题的考查范围也聚焦于中国传统文化。为了便于同学们备考,新东方在线小编为大家整理了与中国传统文化相关的英语词汇,一起来看一下吧。风水:Fengshui; geomantic omen阳历:solar calendar阴历:lunar calendar闰年:leap year十二生肖:zodiac春节:the Spring Festival元宵节:the Lantern Festival清明节:the Tomb-sweeping
