五篇翻译
第一二、三篇及之后的话题词为重点内容。
一、翻译答题时间
建议各位6级考生在仔细阅读完成之后,立即快速浏览一下翻译,如果觉得难度不大,则仔细阅读之后立即处理翻译(20-30分钟时间)。
相反,如果快速浏览后感觉难整太大,甚至整个人都不好了,则仔细阅读之后做信息匹配题,之后再做六级段落翻译题。
二、翻译答题策略
翻译中简单句不需要策略,直接写答案即可。但复杂句子,建议采用“三步法”进行处理:
第一步:拆分中文句子的“主干部分”和“修饰语部分”。
第二步:分别处理主干和修饰:主干遭遇翻译障碍就换主语、谓语等;修饰成分遭遇障碍,就使用单词、短语、从句或单独的句子进行解释。
第三步:把主干和修饰再组合成句子。
当遭遇翻译障碍时,可以降低预期目标,简化部分内容或省略不写,因为此时你的目标就不是满分,而是得分。
例1:大妈是对中年妇女的称呼,但是现在特指不久前金价下跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。
【解析】语法基础弱,词汇量小的同学,可以本着得分优先的原则,将其写成多个单句:
People use the word dama to call middle-aged women. They bought a lot of gold not long ago. At that time the price of gold was low. [单句版:及格]
The word dama is used to call middle-aged women, but now it especially refers to Chinese women who bought large amounts of gold when the price of gold fell not long ago. [从句版:高分]
例2:中国现在7%的经济年增长目标表明政府是在重视生活质量而不是增长速度。
At present, China’s annual economic growth target is 7%. It shows that the government pays attention to people’s life quality rather than the growth speed of economy. [单句版]
The current annual economic growth target of 7% in China shows the government attaches importance to the quality of life rather than the speed of economic growth. [从句版]
三、关键词重复
不少同学认为考过的话题就不会再考。
但是,偏偏不是如此,系统分析六级真题会发现不少词汇表达是在反复被考查到的。
例1:
北京计划未来三年投资7,600亿元治理污染(2014年6月:北京治污);
中国城市就可以更好地规划其发展,并把大量投资转向安全、清洁和经济型交通系统的发展上。(2015年6月:中国城市化)
上述两个句子均考到“投资”一词(invest ---investment )
例2:
各类艺术一派繁荣,涌现了很多文学、历史、哲学巨著。(2015年6月:汉朝概况)
经济的繁荣和富裕中产阶级的出现,引发了一个前所未有的旅游热潮。(2016年12月:中国旅游业发展)
上述两个句子均考到“繁荣”一词。(prosperous---prosperity)
例3:
中国人喜欢把西方特色菜与传统的中式菜肴融于一席,因此牛排上桌也不少见。(2015年6月:中国宴席)
中国成为最受海外学生欢迎的留学目的地之一就不足为奇了。(2016年12月:外国人学习汉语)
上述两个句子均考到“不少见”或“不足为奇”这一主语从句的形式。it is no wonder that ….
四、考前必练真题及话题词预测
以下绝大部分内容都是课上所讲过的,旨在温故知新。如果是第一次看,时间紧张的话重点则是背诵关键词即可,当然时间宽裕的话,背诵句式更好。
请认真分析这些真题,如果时间不允许,最起码记忆其中不熟悉的核心词汇。
第一篇:传统文化类
【汉朝概况】
汉朝是中国历史上最重要的朝代之一。汉朝统治期间有很多显著的成就。它最先向其他文化敞开大门,对外贸易兴旺。汉朝开拓的丝绸之路通向了中西亚乃至罗马。各类艺术一派繁荣,涌现了很多文学、历史、哲学巨著。公元100年中国第一部字典编撰完成,收入9000个字,提供释义并列举不同的写法。其间,科技方面也取得了很大进步,发明了纸张、水钟、日晷(sundials)以及测量地震的仪器。汉朝历经400年,但统治者的腐败最终导致了它的灭亡。
【参考译文】
The Han dynasty is one of the most important dynasties in Chinese history. There are lots of remarkable achievements during the reign of the Han dynasty. Being the first dynasty to open the door to other cultures, it excelled in foreign trade. The Silk Road opened in the Han dynasty led to Central and Western Asia, even Rome. With all sorts of art schools flourishing, there appeared many great works in literary, history, and philosophy. In 100 AD, China’s first dictionary was completed, which included 9,000 characters, providing definitions and different ways to write the characters. During that period, the science and technology had also made great progress, with paper, water clocks, sundials and instruments used to measure earthquakes invented. Though the Han dynasty had a history of 400 years, the corruption of its rulers finally contributed to its collapse.

第二篇:传统文化饮食
【中秋节】
中国人自古以来就在中秋时节庆祝丰收,这与北美地区庆祝感恩节的习俗十分相似,过中秋节的习俗与唐代早期在中国各地开始流行,中秋节在农历八月十五,是人们拜月的节日,这天夜晚皓月当空,人们合家团聚,共赏明月。2006年,中秋节被列为中国的文化遗产,2008年又被定为公共假日,月饼被视为中秋节不可或缺的美食,人们将月饼作为礼物馈赠亲友或在家庭聚会上享用。传统的月饼上带有“寿”(longevity)、“福”或“和”等字样。
【参考译文】
Since ancient times, the Chinese people have celebrated harvest in the middle of autumn, which is quite similar to the custom of celebrating Thanksgiving in North America. The tradition of celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival became popular throughout China in the early Tang Dynasty. The Mid-Autumn Festival, falling on August 15th of the lunar calendar, is a day when people worship the moon. On this day, with the bright moon high in the clear sky, families reunite and enjoy the moon together. In 2006, the Mid-Autumn Festival was listed in China’s cultural heritage list, and in 2008, it was designated as a public holiday. Moon cakes, as indispensable delicious food of the Festival, are given as gifts to relatives and friends or enjoyed at family gatherings. Traditional moon cakes are stamped with Chinese characters with meanings of “longevity”, “happiness” or “harmony”, etc.

第四篇:教育类
【中美家庭教育】
在中国,父母总是竭力帮助孩子,甚至为孩子做重要的决定,而不管孩子要什么,因为他们相信这样做是为了孩子好。结果,孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的意愿。
如果父母决定为孩子报名参加一个课外班,以增加其被重点学校录取的机会,他们会坚持自己的决定,即使孩子根本不感兴趣。
然而在美国,父母很可能会尊重孩子的意见,并在决策时更注重孩子的意见。
中国父母十分注重教育或许值得称赞。然而,他们应向美国父母学习涉及教育时如何平衡父母与孩子间的关系。
【参考译文】
In China, parents always try every means to help their children, and even make important decisions for them. They never care what their children really want, because they believe that it is good for them. As a result, children’s growth and education tend to surrender to the wills of their parents.
If parents decide to sign up for their children to take an extra class to increase their chances of being admitted to a key school, they will stick to their decisions, even if their children are not interested in.
While in the United States, parents are likely to respect their children’s opinions, and pay more attention to their opinions in making decisions.
It may be worthy of praise for the Chinese parents to attach great importance to education. When it comes to education, however, they should learn how to balance the relationship between parents and their children from American parents.

第五篇:环境保护类
【北京治污】
北京计划未来三年投资7,600亿元治理污染,从减少PM2.5排放入手。这一新公布的计划旨在减少四种主要污染源,包括500万辆机动车的尾气(exhaust)排放、周边地区燃煤、来自北方的沙尘暴和本地的建筑灰尘。另外850亿元用于新建或升级城市垃圾处理和污水(sewage)处理设施,加上300亿元投资未来三年的植树造林(forestation)。
市政府还计划建造一批水循环利用工厂,并制止违章建筑,以改善环境。另外,北京还将更严厉地处罚违反减排规定的行为。
【参考译文】
Beijing is planning to invest 760 billion yuan to control pollution in the next three years, starting from reducing the emission of PM 2.5. The newly announced plan aims at reducing four major sources of pollution, including exhaust emissions of over 5 million motor vehicles, coal-burning in surrounding areas, sandstorms from the north and local construction dust. Another 85 billion yuan will be used to establish or upgrade the facilities for municipal waste treatment and sewage treatment. Besides, 30 billion yuan will be invested in the forestation program in the coming three years.
In order to improve the environment, the municipal government also plans to construct a number of water-recycling plants and to ban illegal construction. In addition, Beijing will impose tougher punishments on those who violate the emission-reduction regulations.
