專八翻譯真題1995-201318年真題

1、1995年英語專業(yè)八級考試翻譯部分參考譯文CE原文：簡.奧斯丁的小說都是三五戶人家居家度日，婚戀嫁娶的小事。因此不少中國讀者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的聲譽。但一部小說開掘得深不深，藝術(shù)和思想是否有過人之處，的確不在題材大小。有人把奧斯丁的作品比作越咀嚼越有味道的橄欖。這不僅因為她的語言精彩，并曾對小說藝術(shù)的發(fā)展有創(chuàng)造性的貢獻，也因為她的輕快活潑的敘述實際上并不那么淺白，那么透明。史密斯夫人說過，女作家常常試圖修正現(xiàn)存的價值秩序，改變

2、人們對“重要”和“不重要”的看法。也許奧斯丁的小說能教我們學(xué)會轉(zhuǎn)換眼光和角度，明察到“小事”的敘述所涉及的那些不小的問題。參考譯文：Howeversubjectmatterisindeednotthedecisivefactbywhichwejudgeanovelofitsdepthaswellas(of)itsartisticappealideologicalcontent(:astowhetheranoveldigsdeepnotw

13、。這都是些跟著里根多年、久經(jīng)沙場的老將，他們跟共和黨則有更深厚的淵源，是這個國家里最熟悉總統(tǒng)政治的人。競選的背景也很有利，也很多好消息可供炒作。例如，美國上下一片和平，美國經(jīng)濟這一競選要素也在經(jīng)過一段時間的衰退之后開始強勁反彈。此外，這次競選本身得到了慷慨資助，因此有充裕的資用于組織一流的競選班子、支付巡回演講和電視廣告的費用。而最重要的一點是，他們的候選人是羅納德里根，他可是位極具個人魅力和溝通技巧的總統(tǒng)。自約翰F肯尼迪總統(tǒng)以來，里根
