It tends to ignore, //and thus eventually to eliminate, //many elements in the land community that lack commercial value, //but that are essential to its healthy functioning.

(27 words)

词汇要点:

1) eliminate //v. 排除,消除,根除;淘汰

2) element //n. 基本部分,因素,要素

结构要点:

1) 主句是It tends to ignore, and... to eliminate...;

2) many elements作to ignore, and...toeliminate这两个动词宾语;

3) many elements...that…,but that…是but并列的两个that定语从句

汉译逻辑要点:

1) It tends to ignore中代词it在整个句子的主语部分,最好指代明确。看上文To sum up: a system of conservation based solely on economic self-interest is hopelessly lopsided.(总之,一个仅仅建立在利己基础上的保护体系是非常不平衡的)就知道,it应该指的是上文的“这种观点”,或者“这种保护体系”。可以翻译为“这种保护体系往往会忽视…”。

2) many elements in the land community可以直接翻译为:土地群落中的很多因素。但是,“土地群落”,在专业上习惯用“陆地生物群落,陆生群落”。这样一来,elements 就最好不要翻译为“因素”,而是指陆生群落中的“很多物种”。

3) that lack commercia lvalue, but that are essential to its healthy functioning是两个并列的that定语从句,可以翻译到前面去修饰many elements。

4) and thus eventually to eliminate是and并列的不定式短语,做结果状语。Eventually 是“最终”的意思;eliminate是“消除”的意思。可以直接翻译为:因此最终会灭绝。但是,考虑到“忽视”和“灭绝”这两个动词的下文宾语都是后面的many elements(很多物种,诸多物种)。为了突出and thus...这个结果关系,最好先说“这种保护体系往往会忽视诸多陆生群落中的诸多缺乏商业价值的物种”,再翻译“从而最终导致他们的灭绝”。

完整译文:

这种保护体系往往会忽视诸多陆生群落中的诸多缺乏商业价值但对其健康运作至关重要的物种,而最终导致他们的灭绝。

或:这种保护体系往往会忽视,并因此最终消除陆生群落中的诸多物种;虽然这些物种缺乏商业价值,但是对其健康运作却至关重要。

In Europe, where forestry is ecologically more advanced, //the non-commercial tree species arerecognized //as members of native forest community, //to be preserved as such ,within reason.(27 words)

词汇要点:

1) ecologically //adv. 生态方面,生态上地

2) species //n. 物种

结构要点:

1) In Europe, where…是where引导一个定语从句修饰Europe;

2) 主句部分是the non-commercial tree species are recognized as...;

3) to be preserved…是不定式短语作定语,within reason是方式状语。

汉译逻辑要点:

1) In Europe, whereforestry is ecologically more advanced是一个where引导的定语从句,修饰前面的地点“欧洲”。按照定语从句翻译方法,可以把where从句部分翻译到先行词Europe前面:在林业生态更为发达的欧洲。当然也可以直接翻译:在欧洲,其林业在生态上更加发达。

2) non-commercial tree species可以直接翻译为“没有商业价值的树种”,或者“非经济类林木”,其实就是汉语习惯上说的“公益林”。

3) native forest community是“当地深林群落”或者“原始森林群落”的意思,其中community一般翻译为“社区”,这里指生物学上的“群落”概念。

4) to be preserved as such, within reason是to不定式短语做定语,后面再跟了一个within介词短语做状语。其中as such是“本身,同样,如此;像这样,相应地”等意思。

5) within reason是“合理地,适当地”。它是方式状语,修饰前面的to be preserved...,可以翻译到动词to bepreserved前面。

参考译文:

在林业生态更为发到的欧洲,没有商业价值的树种被看成是当地森林群落的成员,同样应该受到适当地保护。

Time was //when biologists somewhat overworked the evidence// that these creatures preserve the health of game by killing the physically weak,// or that they prey only on “worthless species.(30 words)

词汇要点:

1) overwork //v. 工作过度,时间过长;滥用

2) creature //n. 生物,动物

3) preserve //v. 保存,保持

4) game //n. 游戏,运动;猎物

5) prey //v.捕食,剥削

结构要点:

1) 整个句子是一个复合句,主句部分是Time was when…,when引导一个表语从句;

2) when表语从句的主干是biologists…overworked the evidence that…,or that…其中两个that是并列同位语从句,修饰evidence。

汉译逻辑要点:

1) Time was when...是一个主语、系动词、表语结构。可以直接翻译为:当时,有一段时间是...。如果稍微看看上下文会更清楚time was when的内涵。上文说:A parallel situation exists in respect of predatory mammals and fish-eating birds.“有一种相似的情况存在......”。所以,这里的time waswhen...是想指出“在那段时间,相似的情形是...”。我们一般认为time was when是一种非正式用语,它等于there was time when...,翻译为:曾经有那么一段时间。

2) when biologists somewhat overworked the evidence中的核心动词是overwork,如果直接翻译的话是“工作过多,浪费时间过多”。但是考虑到下文是“证据”,最好是“滥

用证据”。

3) 再关注一下翻译的逻辑顺序问题。两个that..., or that...在语法上是两个that引导的同位语从句。所以翻译的顺序最好是,先把下文两个that同位语从句先翻译出来之后,先说“证据的内容”,再来说:“......曾经有段时间,生物学家有点滥用证据”,把两个that 同位语从句提前翻译。

4) that these creatures preserve ...by killing...中核心动词是preserve,后面接一个by 介词短语充当方式状语。所以,汉译基本逻辑安排为:这些生物通过...来保存...。

5) preserve the health of game的翻译,其一,game这个词肯定不能翻译为“游戏”,而是这些生物的“猎物”;所以直接翻译为“保持猎物的健康(状态)”。其二,这里有点令人费解:为什么要“保持猎物的健康”?通过下文,不难看出:这些生物通过猎杀“the physically weak(体质上比较弱的猎物)”,就保留了那些相对“强的”猎物,以保存其食物链上猎物的健康。所以,这个句子可以翻译为:这些生物通过猎杀弱者来保持猎物的健康状态。或者翻译为:这些生物杀死体弱者来保持种群的健康。

6) or that they prey only on “worthless species是or并列的第二个that同位语从句。其中代词they指的是creatures(这些生物),prey on是“捕食”的意思。这个句子翻译为:这些生物捕食的仅仅是“毫无意义的物种”或者是“没有价值的物种”。原文有引号,直接套用英语的形式,加在汉语上即可。

参考译文:

有一种证据认为:这些生物通过猎杀弱者来保存猎物的健康状态,或者说,这些生物捕杀的只不过是“毫无意义的物种”;曾几何时,生物学家有点滥用这种证据。

或:有证据表明:这些生物杀死体弱者来保持物种的健康,或者说他们仅仅扑食“没有价值”的物种;曾经有段时间,生物学家或多或少滥用了这一证据。

but we have at least drawn nearer the point of admitting// that birds should continue as a matter of intrinsic right, //regardless of the presence or absence of economic advantage to us.

(32 words)

词汇要点:

1) intrinsic //adj. 固有的,内在的,本质的

结构要点:

1) 主句部分是we have ...drawn nearer thepoint of admitting…,后面的that引导了一个宾语从句;

2) that宾语从句的主干是birdsshould continue…,后面的regardlessof…介词短语做状语。

汉译逻辑要点:

1) but we have at leastdrawn nearer the point of admitting中的draw有“向某个方向移动”的意思,draw near是“接近,靠近”。the point是“点;某种程度”的意思。所以we have at leastdraw nearer the point直接翻译为“我们至少更接近了……的这个点,这个度”。

2) of admitting…是一个of短语,修饰前面的“the point”。如果直接翻译,可以是:“但是我们至少更接近了去承认……的这个点”,这个译文有点不通顺,说“接近承认……的这个点”,按照汉语习惯,我们常说:“近乎去承认……”。所以,这样理解起来可以看到draw nearer the point of…其实就是“几乎,近乎,就要”的意思

3) birds shouldcontinue as a matter of intrinsic right是that引导的宾语从句。首先intrinsic这个单词,是“本身的,固有的,内在的”等意思;matter是“东西,事物,情况”等意思。直接翻译为:鸟类应该继续作为一种有固有权利的东西。这个译文稍微有点不通顺,

可以调整为:鸟类应该作为一种有权利的东西继续下去。但是“继续下去”感觉话没有说完,可以补充为“继续生存下去”。其实,考场上可以稍微分析一下上下文,在第一段就出现了“Yet these creatures are members of the bioticcommunity and…”,所以这里的鸟类的固有权利是指其“固有的作为一种生物物种的权利”。这样的话,这个部分就可以翻译为:鸟类应该继续享有其作为一种生物物种固有的权利。或者还可以翻译为:鸟类应该有继续生存下去的权利。

4) regardless of thepresence or absence of economic advantage to us,是一个regardless of…所带的短语做状语。首先,最后一个of后面的economic advantage to us是指“对我们来说,(鸟类)具有的经济价值”。单词advantage,有“优势”的意思,这里把economicadvantage to us直译成“经济优势”,也是可以接受的。而presence or absence则比较简单,字面意思是“出现或者缺失”,下文说的是“这种经济价值的(出现或者缺失)”,所以最好引申为“是否具有经济价值,是否给我们带来经济价值”。

参考译文:

但是,我们至少是更接近了问题的要点,即:承认鸟类应该继续享有其作为一种生物物种的权利,不管它们是否对我们具有经济价值。

或:但是,我们至少近乎承认,无论鸟类能否带给我们经济价值,它们自有生存下去的权利。

On theother hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning. (32 words)

结构要点:

1) 整个句子的主干部分是he did not accept…thecharge,其中as well founded是介词短语作补足语,修饰宾语the charge;

2) madeby his critics that…是made分词短语作定语;其中that引导的是同位语从句;

3) while he was…, he had…是that同位语从句里面的while让步状语从句和它对应的主句。

单词讲解:

1) charge//n. 指责,指控;费用

2) critics //n. 批评家

3) well-founded //adj. 有依据的

汉译逻辑要点:

1) 在he did notaccept as well founded the charge这个部分中,需要看到he did notaccept…the charge是主干部分,而as wellfounded是charge这个宾语的补足语,这里由于the charge这个宾语后面还带了一个made分词短语修饰和that同位语从句在修饰,所以,把宾语补足语as well founded倒装到the charge前面去了,正常顺序是he did notaccept the charge as well founded。我们也可以这样来看:he did notaccept…as…。charge意思是“指责,指控”,well founded意思是“有依据的”。整个部分可以翻译为:他认为这种指责缺乏依据。

2) while he was a good observer是一个状语从句,可以翻译为:虽然他是一个好的观察者。但是,“好的观察者”这个汉语不太通顺,可以调整为:虽然他善于观察。he had no power of reasoning可以直接翻译为:他不具备推理能力。所以整个这个部分是:虽然他善于观察,却不具备推理能力。

3) 还要注意到while这个状语从句前面还有一个that引导词,引导的是一个同位语从句,整个同位语从句“虽然他善于观察,却不具备推理能力”是在说明the charge(这种

指责)。而“这种指责”是“一些批评家对他”的指责。汉译逻辑顺序可以这样来安排:另一方面,某些人批评他虽然善于观察,却不具备推理能力,而他认为这种说法缺乏依据的。

完整译文:

另一方面,某些人批评他虽然善于观察,却不具备推理能力,而他认为这种说法缺乏依据的。

Allen’s contribution was to takean assumption//we all share—//that because weare not robots we therefore control our thoughts—//and reveal its erroneous nature. (26 words)

词汇要点:

1) contribution //n. 贡献

2) assumption //n. 假设

3) robot //n. 机器人

4) erroneous //adj. 错误的

结构要点:

1) 主干是Allen’s contribution was to take ….—andreveal…,注意reveal是和take 并列;

2) we all share是定语从句;

3) 两个破折号之间的是that引导的同位语从句,修饰assumption。

汉译逻辑要点:

1) share翻译为“公认,认同,承认”最好;不宜翻译为“分享”,因为we all share 修饰assumption,“我们不能分享假设”。

2) take直接翻译为“拿出”即可;而不宜翻译为“接受,举例”,因为这个假设是大家都认识到的,并且,

3) 这个句子的逻辑是Allen先take“拿出”这个假设,再reveal its erroneous nature;所以,

4) 汉译逻辑可以先说出这个“我们都认同的假设”,再说Allen的贡献。

完整译文:

我们都认为自己不是机器人,因此能够控制自己的思想;爱伦的贡献就在于他拿出了这一假想,并揭示其错误的本质。

或:艾伦的贡献在于,他拿出了“我们并不是机器人,所以能够控制自己的思想”这一公认的假设,并揭示了其错误的本质。

考研英语一翻译真题汇总

1990 年英译汉试题 People have wondered for a long time how their personalities,and behaviors are formed. It is not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not,or why one is cooperative and another is competitive. Social scientists are,of course,extremely interested in these types of questions. (61)They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet,but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. As one might expect,the two approaches are very different from each other. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as‖nature vs. nurture‖. (62)Those who support the ―nature‖side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological factors. (63)That our environment has little, if anything,to do with our abilities,characteristics and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme,this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined to such a great degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts. Those who support the ―nurture‖ theory,that is,they advocate education,are often called behaviorists. They claim that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. A behaviorist,B.F. Skinner,sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. The behaviorists maintain that,like machines,humans respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior. Let us examine the different explanations about one human characteristic,intelligence, offered by the two theories. Supporters of the ―nature‖theory insist that we are born with a certain capacity for learning that is biologically determined. Needless to say,they don‘t believe that factors in the environment have much influence on what is basically a predetermined characteristic. On the other hand,behaviorists argue that our intelligence levels are the product of our experiences. (64)Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development. The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some ―nature‖ proponents to conclude that blacks are biologically inferior to whites. (65)Behaviorists,in contrast, say that differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy. Most people think neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. 1991 年英译汉试题 The fact is that the energy crisis,which has suddenly been officially announced,has been with us for a long time now,and will be with us for an even longer time. Whether Arab oil flows freely or not,it is clear to everyone that world industry cannot be allowed to depend on so fragile a base. (71)The supply of oil can be shut off unexpectedly at any time,and in any case,the oil wells will all run dry in thirty years or so at the present rate of use. (72)New sources of energy must be found,and this will take time,but it is not likely to result in any situation that will ever restore that sense of cheap and plentiful energy we have had in the times past. For an indefinite period from here on,mankind is going to advance cautiously,and consider itself lucky that it can advance at all. To make the situation worse,there is as yet no sign that any slowing of the world‘s population is in sight. Although the birthrate has dropped in some nations,including the United States,the population of the world seems sure to pass six billion and perhaps even seven billion as the twenty-first century opens. (73)The food supply will not increase nearly enough to match this,which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of producing and marketing food. Taking all this into account,what might we reasonably estimate supermarkets to be like in the year2001? To begin with,the world food supply is going to become steadily tighter over the next thirty years—even here in the United States.By2001,the population of the United States will be at least two hundred fifty million and possibly two hundred seventy million,and the nation will find it difficult to expand food production to fill the additional mouths. (74)This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in the high energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields. It seems almost certain that by2001the United States will no longer be a great food exporting nation and that,if necessity forces exports,it will be at the price of belt tightening at home. In fact,as food items will end to decline in quality and decrease in variety,there is very likely to be increasing use of flavouring additives. (75)Until such time as mankind has the sense to lower its population

(10 points) 一、经济学史 Economics, as we know it, is the social science concerned with the production, distribution, exchange, and consumption of goods and services. Economists focus on the way in which individuals, groups, business enterprises, and governments seek to achieve efficiently any economic objective they select. (46) Other fields of study also contribute to this knowledge: Psychology and ethics try to explain how objectives are formed, history records changes in human objectives, and sociology interprets human behavior in social contexts. Standard economics can be divided into two major fields. (47) The first, price theory or microeconomics, explains how the interplay of supply and demand in competitive markets creates a multitude of individual prices, wage rates, profit margins, and rental changes. Microeconomics assumes that people behave rationally. Consumers try to spend their income in ways that give them as much pleasure as possible. As economists say, they maximize utility. For their part, entrepreneurs seek as much profit as they can extract from their operations.

2016考研英语翻译模拟练习题(5)

2016考研英语翻译模拟练习题(5) Relativity theory has had a profound influence on our picture of matter by forcing us to modify our concept of a particle in an essential way. (1)(In classical physics, the mass of an object had always been associated with an indestructible material subst ance, with some “stuff” of which all things were thought to be made.)Relativity theory showed that mass has nothing to do with any substance, but is a form energy. Energy, however, is a dynamic quantity associated with activity, or with processes.(2)(The fact that the mass of a particle is equivalent to a certain of energy means that the particle can no longer be seen as a static object, but has to be conceived as a dynamic pattern, a process involving the energy which manifest itself a s the particle’s mass.) (3)(This new view of particles was initiated by Dirac when he formulated a relativistic equation describing the behavior of electrons.) Dirac’s theory was not only extremely successful in accounting for the fine details of atomic structure, but also revealed a fundamental symmetry between matter and anti-matter. It predicted the existence of an anti-matter with the same mass as the electron but with an opposite charge. This positively charged particle, now called the positron, was indeed discovered two years after Dirac had predicted it. The symmetry between matter and anti-matter implies that for every particle there exists an antiparticles with equal mass and opposite charge. Pairs of particles and antiparticles can be created if enough energy is available and can be made to turn into pure energy in the reverse process of destruction.(4)(These processes of particle creation and destruction had been predicted from Dirac’s theory before they were actually discovered in nature, and since then they have been observed millions of times.) The creation of material particles from pure energy is certainly the most spectacular effect of relativity theory, and it can only be understood in terms of the view of particles outlined above.(5)(Before relativistic particle physics, the constituents of matter had always been considered as being either elementary units which were indestructible and unchangeable, or as composite objects which could be broken up into their constituent parts;)and the basic question was whether one could divide matter again and again, or whether one would finally arrive at some smallest indivisible units. 答案 1.在古典物理中,某一物体的质量总是与一种不可毁灭的物质相关联。这是一种构成一切物质的“东西”。 2.某一粒子的质量相当于一定的能量,这一事实意味着该粒子不再被看作是一个静态的物体,而应该被看成是一种动态的形式,一种与能量表现为粒子质量相关的过程。 3.这一新的粒子观是由迪拉克首创的,他列出了描述电子运动行为的相对论方程。 4.粒子生成和毁灭的过程在真正被发现之前,迪拉克的理论已经对它们作出了预测,从那时起人们对此做过数百万次的观测。 5.在相对论粒子物理学诞生之前,人们一直以为物质的构成成分要么是不可毁灭和不可改变的基本单位,要么是可以分解为其构成部分的合成物。 总体分析

考研英语翻译方法(新题型)

常用翻译技巧总结 翻译题里考察三方面内容: 1、专有名词(如operational research expert)、习惯用法(如depend on)及多义词的翻译(如school、set的多义) 2、一般性翻译技巧:包括词义选择,词序调整,词性转换和增词法等等 3、具体句型(定从、状从、主从、宾从、表从、同位从、强调结构、并列、比较、倒装、插入、被动、否定等) 其中2、3是大考点,具体内容可在论坛下XDF的翻译笔记来看,在此不赘述。 可看出,应对翻译题的主要武器是翻译技巧,下面正式进入正题(常用方法、被动语态译法、形容词译法、举例详解) 一、常用方法 二、 英汉两种语言在句法、词汇、修辞等方面均存在着很大的差异,因此在进行英汉互译时必然会遇到很多困难,需要有一定的翻译技巧作指导。常用的翻译技巧有增译法、省译法、转换法、拆句法、合并法、正译法、反译法、倒置法、包孕法、插入法、重组法和综合法等。这些技巧不但可以运用于笔译之中,也可以运用于口译过程中,而且应该用得更加熟练。 1增译法:指根据英汉两种语言不同的思维方式、语言习惯和表达方式,在翻译时增添一些词、短句或句子,以便更准确地表达出原文所包含的意义。这种方式多半用在汉译英里。汉语无主句较多,而英语句子一般都要有主语,所以在翻译汉语无主句的时候,除了少数可用英语无主句、被动语态或“There be…”结构来翻译以外,一般都要根据语境补出主语,使句子完整。英汉两种语言在名词、代词、连词、介词和冠词的使用方法上也存在很大差别。英语中代词使用频率较高,凡说到人的器官和归某人所有的或与某人有关的事物时,必须在前面加上物主代词。因此,在汉译英时需要增补物主代词,而在英译汉时又需要根据情况适当地删减。英语词与词、词组与词组以及句子与句子的逻辑关系一般用连词来表示,而汉语则往往通过上下文和语序来表示这种关系。因此,在汉译英时常常需要增补连词。英语句子离不开介词和冠词。另外,在翻译时还要注意增补一些原文中暗含而没有明言的词语和一些概括性、注释性的词语,以确保译文意思的完整。总之,通过增译,一是保证译文语法结构的完整,二是保证译文意思的明确。如: (1) What about calling him right away? 马上给他打个电话,你觉得如何?(增译主语和谓语) (2) If only I could see the realization of the four modernizations. 要是我能看到四个现代化实现该有多好啊!(增译主句) (3) Indeed, the reverse is true 实际情况恰好相反。(增译名词) (4)就是法西斯国家本国的人民也被剥夺了人权。 Even the people in the fascist countries were stripped of their human rights.(增译物主代词) (5)只许州官放火,不许百姓点灯。 While the magistrates were free to burn down house, the common people were forbidden to light

考研英语翻译练习题及答案 Unit 1 According to the new school of scientists,technology is an overlooked force in expanding the horizons of scientific knowledge.(71)Science moves forward,they say,not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and tools.(72)“In short”,a leader of the new school contends,“the scientific revolution,as we call it,was largely the improvement and invention and use of a series of instruments that expanded the reach of scien ce in innumerable directions.” (73)Over the years,tools and technology themselves as a source of fundamental innovation have largely been ignored by historians and philosophers of science. The modern school that hails technology argues that such masters as Galileo,Newton,Maxwell,Einstein,and inventors such as Edison attached great importance to,and derived great benefit from,craft information and technological devices of different kinds that were usable in scientific experiments. The centerpiece of the argument of a technologies,genius no advocate was an analysis of Galileo’s role at the start of the scientific revolution. The wisdom of the day was derived from Ptolemy,an astronomer of the second century,whose elaborate system of the sky put Earth at the center of all heavenly motions.(74)Galileo’s greatest glory
