2014年英語專八考試漢譯英部分真題
當我在小學畢了業的時候,親友一致的愿意我去學手藝,好幫助母親。我曉得我應當去找飯吃,以減輕母親的勤勞困苦。可是,我也愿意升學。我偷偷的考入了師范學校——制服,飯食,書籍,宿處,都由學校供給。只有這樣,我才敢對母親說升學的話。入學,要交十圓的保證金。這是一筆巨款!母親作了半個月的難,把這巨款籌到,而后含淚把我送出門去。她不辭勞苦,只要兒子有出息。當我由師范畢業,而被派為小學校校長,母親與我都一夜不曾合眼。我只說了句:“以后,您可以歇一歇了!”她的回答只有一串串的眼淚。中譯英部分參考譯文
After I graduated from primary school, relatives and friends all suggested that I should drop out and learn a trade to help my mother.Although I knew that I ought to seek a livelihood to relieve mother of hard work and distress, I still aspired to go on with study.So I kept learning secretly.I had no courage to tell mother about the idea until admitted to a normal school which provided free uniforms, books, room and board.To enter the school, I had to pay ten Yuan as a deposit.This was a large sum of money for my family.However, after two weeks’ tough effort, mother managed to raise the money and sent me off to school in tears afterwards.She would spare no pains for her son to win a bright future.On the day when I was appointed the schoolmaster after graduation, mother and I spent a sleepless night.I said to her, “you can have a rest in the future.” but she replied nothing, only with tears streaming down her face.點評:本題是一篇典型的文學翻譯,原文選自老舍名篇《我的母親》。老舍的作品生活氣息濃郁,語言樸實直白。因此,在翻譯本篇時不僅要注意忠實于文字意義,更要忠實地再現原文的語言風格,所以要避免用過于高級的詞匯表達和句子結構,用平實的語句表達出原文的精神面貌。
2013年英語專八考試漢譯英部分答案
生活像一杯紅酒,熱愛生活的人會從中品出無窮的美妙。將它握在手中觀察,它的暗紅有血的感覺,那正是生命的痕跡。抿一口留在口中回味,它的甘甜有一絲苦澀,如人生一般復雜迷離。喝一口下肚,余香潤人心肺,讓人終受益。紅酒越陳越美味,生活越豐富越美好。當人生走向晚年,就如一瓶待開封的好酒,其色彩是沉靜的,味道中充滿慷慨于智慧。
Life is like a cup of wine;people who love it discover inexhaustible wonders from it.Hold in the hand and gaze at it, the dark red color is reminiscent of the blood, which is the impress of life.Take a sip of it and appreciate the taste, the bittersweet flavor is exactly the same with life, which is complicated and blurred.Once the sip is swallowed, the lingering fragrance pleases the heart and refreshes the mind, leaving a person lifelong benefit.There was a remarkable resemblance between life and wine: the taste becomes more delicious as the wine mellows, just as life gets better as it becomes more abundant.When life comes to twilight years, it looks calm and tastes full of wisdom and generosity, just like a bottle of wine to be savored.2012年英語專八漢譯英選自臺灣作家蔡素芬的新書《燭光盛宴》,濃縮了臺灣近六十年的歷史,可謂是十年磨一劍之作。加粗的為2012年英語專八漢譯英部分選段。
泊珍看他第一眼,彷似一聲雷劈頭而來,令她暈頭漲腦,這一歲的孩子臉型長相如此熟悉,她心里的第一道聲音是,不能帶回去!
痛苦糾聚心中,眉心發燙發熱,胸口郁悶難展,胃里一股氣沖喉而上。院長說這孩子發育遲緩時,她更是心頭無緒,她在育生所待的房里來回踱步,這房里還有其他小孩,每人一張圍著柵欄的床,整個房間只有一扇窗,窗外樹影婆娑,就讓這孩子留下來吧,這里有善心的神父和修女,這里將來會擴充為有醫療作用的看護中心,這是留住孩子最好的地方。這孩子是她的秘密,她將秘密留在這樹林掩映的建筑里。
她將秘密留在心頭。
她專心做生意,她覺得人生剩下的只有不斷地賺錢養育孩子,和對往日某些美好時光的眷戀,即使這些時光如此短暫,但也因為短暫而彌足珍貴,她家鄉的好山好水、她和桂花的姐妹情誼、留在心中的曾有過的感情,這些美好的部分就夠安慰她的余生。她心里也惦念留在家鄉的那些人,她的兩個孩子、她的父親,他們都不再有音訊,他們隨著時光的流逝,成為心里一個遙遠的山水風景,成為眼里模糊的淚水。
參考答案:Tortured by the pains gathering in her heart, she felt something was burning between her eyebrows.Her chest was brimmed with depression which was likely to run out of her throat at any moment.She could not think clearly any longer when the headmaster told her that the child suffered from developmental retardation.She strode up and down in the room where her child stayed with other pals.There was only one window in the room, out of which some shady trees were whispering.“Just leave it here”,she told herself, “This is the best choice by far, for there are kind priests and nuns in this place which may also be renovated into a Medicare center”.The child was her secret which would be kept in the buildings behind the woods.2011年專八真題:漢譯英原文
現代社會無論價值觀的持有還是生活方式的選擇都充滿了矛盾。而最讓現代人感到尷尬的是,面對重重矛盾,許多時候你別無選擇。匆忙與休閑是截然不同的兩種生活方式。但在現實生活中,人們卻在這兩種生活方式間頻繁穿梭,有時也說不清自己到底是“休閑著”還是“忙碌著”。
譬如說,當我們正在旅游勝地享受假期,卻忽然接到老板的電話,搞惡我們客戶或工作方面出了麻煩——現代便捷先進工具在此刻顯示出了它猙獰、陰郁的面容——搞得人一下子興趣全無。接下來的休閑只能徒有其表,因為心里已是火燒火燎了。2011年專八真題參考答案:漢譯英部分
Being hasty and at leisure are two quite distinct lifestyles.But in the real world, people have to frequently shuttle between these two lifestyles, sometimes not sure whether they are “at ease” or “in a rush”.For example, we are enjoying our holidays in the resort while suenly we receive phone calls from the boss who tells us there are some troubles with our customers and work----so at this moment the modern, convenient and advanced device shows its vicious and gloomy features---and we lose all our interest.The subsequent leisure is the mere showy for we are in a restless and anxious state of mind.2010年英語專業八級漢譯英真題及答案:(原文)朋友之間,情趣相投、脾氣對味則合、則交,反之,則離、則絕。朋友之間再熟悉、再親密,也不能隨便過頭、不恭不敬,這樣,默契和平衡將被打破,友好關系將不復存在。
每個人都希望擁有自己的一片私密空間,朋友之間過于隨便,就容易侵入這片禁區,從而引起沖突,造成隔閡。待友不敬,有時或許只是一件小事,卻可能已埋下了破壞性的種子。維持朋友親密關系的最好辦法是往來有節,互不干涉.參考譯文:For the relationship between friends, similar habits and tempers help to make it closer;on the other hand, opposite ones leave distance from each other.No matter how familiar and intimate the friends are, the relationship should be treated carefully and respect should be treasured for friends.Otherwise, the partnership and balance would be broken, as a result, a good relationship would no longer exist.Everyone has a desire for his own personal space, which could be easily invaded if the attitude between friends is too free.Then conflicts appear, causing barriers.Although it seems a small case of not respecting friends, harmful seeds may be sowed to ruin the relationship.In a word, the best way to keep positive friendship is associating with temperate manners and without too much interference.2009張帆 標題:《我們生活在機器中》上海藝術人文頻道《世說新語》欄目所作演講稿
我想不起來哪一個熟人沒有手機。今天沒有手機的人是奇怪的,這種人才需要解釋。我們的所有社會關系都儲存在手機的電話本里,可以隨時調出使用。古代只有巫師才能擁有這種法寶。手機刷新了人與人的關系。會議室門口通常貼著一條通告:請與會者關閉手機。可是會議室里的手機鈴聲仍然響成一片。我們都是普通人,并沒有多少重要的事情。盡管如此,我們也不會輕易關掉手機。打開手機象征我們與這個世界的聯系。手機反映出我們的“社交饑渴癥”。最為常見的是,一個人走著走著突然停下來,眼睛盯著手機屏幕發短信。他不在乎停在馬路中央還是廁所旁邊。為什么對于手機來電和短信這么在乎?因為我們迫切渴望與社會保持聯系。
Few things have changed human relations as much as the cell phone has.It so happens that we often see a notice on a door to a conference room, “Please keep your cell phone off when a meeting is in session.” We still, however, always hear the beeps resounding throughout the chamber.The prevalence of using the cell phone today reflects our “thirst for socialization” and symbolizes a connection between us and the outside world.We are therefore reluctant to turn it off, although few of us are VIPs, or those who have many urgencies to take immediate care of.So we often notice such a picture: a pedestrian, all of sudden, stops, his eyes fixed on the phone screen, to edit his messages, oblivious of all other things.Whether on the road center or beside a toilet does not seem to bother him.
第二篇:英語專八改錯部分真題及答案
So far as we can tell, all human languages are equally complete and perfect as instruments of communication: that is, every language appears to be as well equipped as any other to say the things its speakers want to say.It may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive peoples or cultures, but that is another matter.Certainly, not all groups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics or psychology or the cultivation of rice or the engraving of Benares brass.But this is not the fault of their language.The Eskimos can speak about snow with a great deal more precision and subtlety than we can in English, but this is not because the Eskimo language(one of those sometimes miscalled ’primitive’)is inherently more precise and subtle than English.This example does not bring to light a defect in English, a show of unexpected ’primitiveness’.The position is simply and obviously that the Eskimos and the English live in different environments.The English language would be just as rich in terms for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments in which English was habitually used made such distinction important.Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo language could be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor manufacture or cricket if these topics formed part of the Eskimos’ life.For obvious historical reasons, Englishmen in the nineteenth century could not talk about motorcars with the minute discrimination which is possible today: cars were not a part of their culture.But they had a host of terms for horse-drawn vehicles which send us, puzzled, to a historical dictionary when we are reading Scott or Dickens.How many of us could distinguish between a chaise, a landau, a victoria, a brougham, a coupe, a gig, a diligence, a whisky, a calash, a tilbury, a carriole, a phaeton, and a clarence ?
be后插入 as;their改為its;There改為It;Whereas改為But;further 改為muchcome改為bring;similar改為different;will改為would;as important去掉as;the part去掉the

2013年英語專八考試作文范文
Is a sound social environment necessary for people to be good to others Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture, but nowadays many people dare not offer help to those in need, for fear of getting into trouble.The issue has aroused public debate over the climate of morality and credibility, and many people sigh over the moral degeneration.In my opinion, while social environment is necessary zk.hushine.comfor people to be good to others, each individual should try his or her best to do good deeds and be sympathetic with others, instead of waiting for the environment to improve.There is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions, so people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits.some people even wonder, ?Is our society hostile to good people?? The question may sound ridiculous but many people apparently think so.They believe that our currentwww.tmdps.cn society provides a bad environment for good people doing good things, and good people pay a high price for being compassionate.In fact, such kind of things only accounts for a pretty small percentage, but massive media coverage makes the situation seem serious.Actually, most people around me are kind, warm-hearted and helpful, and I am quite delighted in their company.So I believe media should pay more attention to publicizing good people and exemplary deeds to enhance our confidence, rather than exposing disgusting behaviors.At the same time, as John Donne puts it, “No man is an island, entire of itself.Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” Since everyone of us is a component of the society, it is each individual?s conducts that form social morality.Just imagine it is you who need help, what would you feel if everyone watches indifferently or suspiciously? www.tmdps.cnSo, put yourself in other?s position and be sympathetic.If we do nothing but wait for the environment to improve, nothing will happen.Only by removing the fence around our kind consciousness can we reverse the regress of social ethics, and make our world full of warmth and happiness.Therefore, if help is needed, never hesitate to lend a helping hand.It will make you happy and feel better about life.In sum, I contend the idea that while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, it is each individual?s responsibility to offer help to those in need, and together we build up a more harmonious society.Corporate executives, undoubtedly, play a crucial part in a company?s management and operation.Some people argue that the only responsibility of corporate executives, provided they stay www.tmdps.cnwithin the law, is to make as much money as possible for their companies.Do you agree to their opinion? Write an essay of about 400 words.You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.In the ?rst part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details.In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness.Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.寫作思路
當今社會,公司的發展越來越正規化,而公司掌舵人的作用也顯得尤為重要,這也是眾多公 司不惜重金競相聘用得力高管的重要原因。那么,公司高管究竟要起到哪些作用呢?是不是只要想方設法為公司盈利就可以了呢?我們認為不是這樣的,公司高管還應擔負起許多其他責任,包括為全球環境和人民造福、塑造良好公司形象、保障公司長足發展等。Multiple Responsibilities of Corporate Executives Corporate executives do have a responsibility to make money for their companies.For publicly owned companies, this means that they must ?nd a way to maximize shareholder value.But it would be wrong to say that, without quali? cation, making as much money as possible is an executive?s only responsibility.First of all, corporate executives havexueli.woryi.com a duty to protect our natural environmentwww.tmdps.cn and to not exploit human resources, particularly in lesser-developed countries.These poorer countries sometimes have poorly developed legal systems and laws that can be used unfairly by companies, even though the companies are actually operating within the limits of the law in that country.As an example, a pharmaceutical company should not be allowed to test new drugs on people in a poor country even though it is perfectly legal under that country?s laws.Corporate executives must take it upon themselves to ensure that it operates ethically in all countries and that the corporation does not exploit lax operating laws in underdeveloped parts of the world.Secondly, a related responsibility of corporate executives is to make sure that the company re?ects a positive image to the rest of the world, thus giving stockholders and owners a sense of pride in being a part of that company.Most people do not want to be associated with a company that is seen as greedy or exploitive.If corporate executives focus solely on making as much money as possible, there can be a backlash against that company for appearing too materialistic and uncaring.Executives www.tmdps.cnat multinational companies such as McDonald?s and Wal-Mart have recognized this problem in the past and have now become heavily involved in the communities in which their stores are located through charitable programs.A third and also related responsibility of corporate executives is to ensure the long-term viability of their companies.Employees, as well as other stakeholders, need to know that the company executives are interested in building an enduring institution.A good example of this responsibility not being honored is that of the Enron Energy Company and Arthur Andersen bankruptcy and accounting scandal.In this case, corporate executives abdicated their responsibilities to both companies in order to maximize short-term pro?t and possibly their own bonuses and stock options.Corporate executives do have a responsibility to make as much money as possible.But they also have the responsibility to do so in a manner that helps to protect the world?s environment and people, that re?ects a positive corporate image, and that will guarantee the long-term survival of the company.亮點回放 ★用詞亮點
lesser-developed :欠發達的,同下文 中的underdeveloped。take something upon somebody :承擔起 ……職責。exploitive :剝削的。
backlash :后坐力,強烈反對。viability :生存能力,可行性。abdicate :正式放棄,退出。
★句式亮點
Corporate executives must take it upon themselves to ensure that it operates ethically in all countries and that the corporation does not exploit lax operating laws in underdeveloped parts of the world.lax operating laws意為“現行法律中的漏洞”;兩個that均作為ensure一詞 的賓語從句。全句句意為:“公司高管必須承擔起責任,確保公司在任何國家的運作都不會有違道德規范,同時在世界欠發達地區,也不鉆現行法律的空子”。
A good example of this responsibility not being honored is that of the Enron Energy Company and Arthur Andersen bankruptcy and accounting scandal.a good example of this responsibility not being honored在此處表示 “一個不那么光彩的例子,反面教材”。此處作者以安然公司(Enron)和安達信會計師事務所(Arthur Andersen)為例,充分證明了只圖眼前利益而忽略公司長足發展的下場。★篇章亮點
文章采用的是開門見山的開頭方式,直接提出作者觀點——為公司多賺錢不應是公司高管的惟一職責。緊接著,作者采用了分總的行文結構,在主體部分層次分明地論述了公司高管應當承擔的其他責任。邏輯信號詞first of all,secondly,a third清晰地對文章做出了劃分,使讀者一目了然。結尾部分概括全文,同時采用了與正文不一樣 的表達方式,顯示出作者扎實的文字功底。
