專八翻譯真題1995-201318年真題

1、1995年英語(yǔ)專業(yè)八級(jí)考試翻譯部分參考譯文CE原文：簡(jiǎn).奧斯丁的小說(shuō)都是三五戶人家居家度日，婚戀嫁娶的小事。因此不少中國(guó)讀者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的聲譽(yù)。但一部小說(shuō)開(kāi)掘得深不深，藝術(shù)和思想是否有過(guò)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?yàn)樗恼Z(yǔ)言精彩，并曾對(duì)小說(shuō)藝術(shù)的發(fā)展有創(chuàng)造性的貢獻(xiàn)，也因?yàn)樗妮p快活潑的敘述實(shí)際上并不那么淺白，那么透明。史密斯夫人說(shuō)過(guò)，女作家常常試圖修正現(xiàn)存的價(jià)值秩序，改變

2、人們對(duì)“重要”和“不重要”的看法。也許奧斯丁的小說(shuō)能教我們學(xué)會(huì)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(wèn)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(chǎng)的老將，他們跟共和黨則有更深厚的淵源，是這個(gè)國(guó)家里最熟悉總統(tǒng)政治的人。競(jìng)選的背景也很有利，也很多好消息可供炒作。例如，美國(guó)上下一片和平，美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)這一競(jìng)選要素也在經(jīng)過(guò)一段時(shí)間的衰退之后開(kāi)始強(qiáng)勁反彈。此外，這次競(jìng)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(jìng)選班子、支付巡回演講和電視廣告的費(fèi)用。而最重要的一點(diǎn)是，他們的候選人是羅納德里根，他可是位極具個(gè)人魅力和溝通技巧的總統(tǒng)。自約翰F肯尼迪總統(tǒng)以來(lái)，里根

14、是最成功地勾勒出美國(guó)藍(lán)圖的總統(tǒng)：一個(gè)軍事力量復(fù)興、富有個(gè)人進(jìn)取心、聯(lián)邦政府得以精簡(jiǎn)的國(guó)家。1997年英語(yǔ)專業(yè)八級(jí)考試翻譯部分參考譯文CE原文：來(lái)美國(guó)求學(xué)的中國(guó)學(xué)生與其他亞裔學(xué)生一樣，大多非?？炭嗲趭^，周末也往往會(huì)抽出一天甚至兩天的時(shí)間去實(shí)驗(yàn)室加班，因而比起美國(guó)學(xué)生來(lái)，成果出得較多。我的導(dǎo)師是亞裔人，嗜煙好酒，脾氣暴躁。但他十分欣賞亞裔學(xué)生勤奮與扎實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)，也特別了解亞裔學(xué)生的心理。因此，在他實(shí)驗(yàn)室所招的學(xué)生中，除有一名來(lái)自德國(guó)外，其

15、余5位均是亞裔學(xué)生。他干脆在實(shí)驗(yàn)室的門上貼一醒目招牌：“本室助研必須每周工作7天，早10時(shí)至晚12時(shí)，工作時(shí)間必須全力以赴。”這位導(dǎo)師的嚴(yán)格及苛刻是全校有名的，在我所呆的3年半中，共有14位學(xué)生被招進(jìn)他的實(shí)驗(yàn)室，最后博士畢業(yè)的只剩下5人。1990年夏天，我不顧別人勸阻，硬著頭皮接受了導(dǎo)師的資助，從此開(kāi)始了艱難的求學(xué)旅程。參考譯文：LikestudentsfromotherAsiancountriesregionsmostChineses
