2008年考研英语翻译解析

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. 事实是，虽然官方突然宣布能源危机的存在，然而长期以来我们一直面临着能源危机，而且这种情况今后将会持续更长的时间。Whether Arab oil flows freely or not, it is clear to everyone that world instry cannot be allowed to depend on so fragile a base.不管阿拉伯的石油能否源源不断地流出，人人都清楚，再也不能让世界工业依赖于如此脆弱的能源基础了。The supply of oil can be shut off unexpectedly at any time, and in anycase, the oil wells will all run dry in thirty years or so at the present rate of use.石油供应可能随时会被突然切断；不管怎样，以目前这种消费速度，只需30年左右，所有的油井都会枯竭。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.必须找到新的能源，这需要时间；而过去我们感觉到的那种能源廉价而充足的情况将不大可能再出现了。For an indefinite period from here on, mankind is going to advance cautiously, and consider itself lucky that it can advance at all.在今后的漫长的时间内，人类将谨慎前进，而且应该对自己能够继续前进感到非常幸运。To make the situation worse, there is as yet no sign that any slowing of the world’s population is in sight. Although the birth-rate 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.使目前状况更糟的是，至今尚无迹象表明，世界人口的增长在近期内会减慢。虽然包括美国在内的一些国家的出生率已经下降，但是在21世纪初世界人口似乎肯定会超过60亿，或许甚至超过70亿。The food supply will not increase nearly enough to match this, which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of procing and marketing food.食品供应的增加将远远赶不上人口的增长，这就意味着我们在粮食的生产和购销方面已陷入危机。Taking all this into account, what might we reasonably estimate supermarkets to be like in the year 2001?考虑到所有这些因素，我们可以适当地估计一下2001年的超级市场将会是什么样子呢？To begin with, the world food supply is going to become steadily tighter over the next thirty years -- even here in the United States. By 2001, 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 proction to fill the additional mouths.首先，今后的30年内，世界的食品供应日益紧张，甚至美国这里也不例外。到2001年美国人口将至少达到2亿5千万，也可能是2亿7千万。那时，美国将很难扩大食品生产来满足人口增长的需要。This willbe particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in thehigh-energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields.这种困境将是确定无疑的，因为能源的匮乏使农业无法以高能消费这种美国耕作方式继续下去了，而按照这种耕作方式可以投入少数农民就获得高产。It seems almost certain that by 2001 the 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.几乎可以肯定，到2001年美国将不再是一个食品输出国；如果必须出口的话，那么其代价就是美国国内人民将勒紧裤带。In fact, as food items will tend to decline in quality and decrease in variety, there is very likely to be increasing use of flavouring additives.实际上，由于各种食品往往会质量下降、品种减少，这就非常有可能更多地使用调味添加物。Until such time as mankind hasthe sense to lower its population to the point where the planet can provide a comfortable supportfor all, people will have to accept more “unnatural food”.除非人类终于意识到要把人口减少到这样的程度，使地球能为所有人提供足够的饮食，否则人们将不得不接受更多的“人造食品”。

这一篇小文，小编就给大家解析一下2000年~2004年考研英语的五篇作文，帮助大家更好地把握考研英语的写作思路和选题走向。#考研英语#2000年真题作文部分2000年这一年考察的是图画作文。自图画作文登场，考研英语作文从形式上看的几大类型文章基本都出现了。这一年的作文给出了两张图片，图片下面有一句话，指明了方向。作文的字数要求是不少于150词。除此以外，题目中还给出了文章的内容提纲。文章的话题是：“过度捕捞”；标题自拟；主题词是“over-fishing”。文章结构大体可以分为三段：其一是“描述图画”，阐明两幅图的不同即变化，其二是“总结图画所反映的现象”，其三是“给出合理的解决建议”。作文分值15分。So it is high time we took effective measures to solve this problem.所以，我们是时候采取一些有效的措施去解决这一问题了。2001年真题作文部分2001年这一年考察的也是图画作文。有的老师也称之为“漫画作文”，其实都是可以的。这篇文章从题干来看，和之前的漫画作文有了很大的变化，这些变化体现为：其一，作文的分值从15分变成了20分；其二，在题干的开头给出了一段描述，显然是在提示文章的主题；其三，字数要求由原来的的150词变成了200词。当然，文章给出了写作的思路：第一段是对漫画的描述，解释考生对漫画后文章象征意义的了解；第二段是给出一个具体的例子，来论证观点；第三段是给出相关的献爱心的建议。文章的话题是“爱心”；主题词是“love”。There is probably no other feeling that is nobler than love. Everybody not only needs love ，but also should give others love.大概没有一种感觉比爱更高贵了。每个人都不仅需要爱，更应该把爱传递给别人。2002年真题作文部分2002年这一年考察的是图画作文。但是和以前不同，不是漫画，而是一张穿着中国传统服装的美国女孩的照片。从题干来看，和去年漫画作文的要求是一致的。首先是给出了一段描述，但是这里的描述意义不大；其次是交代考生文章的内容要求；接下来是作文的字数要求和分值：作文的分值为20分，字数要求为200词。这篇文章可以分成三部分来写：第一段是对照片的描述，这题相对简单，因为题干和照片下方已经给出了相应的语料；第二段是解释图片背后的含义，要注意，服装只是表现，其“里”指的应该是“文化”的内容；第三段是给出考生自己的观点、评论或者是建议，当然指的应该是文化输出的建议，因为这毕竟是一个美国女孩。文章的话题是“文化交流”；主题词是“cultural exchange”；分值是20分。All in all，cultural exchange is an effective way to achieve efficient cross-cultural communication and promote world peace and prosperity.总之，文化交流是一种有效的实现跨文化交流和促进世界和平和繁荣的方式。2003年真题作文部分2003年这一年考察的是漫画作文。题干可以说是越来越精简，可以说题干中有效的信息就是思路和词数、分值的说明。字数要求是200词左右；分值是20分；文章的话题可以理解为“儿童教育”，也可以理解为“挫折的重要性”；主题词是“hardship/difficulties”。行文的结构应该是三段：第一段是对图表的内容进行简单描述，重点揭示前后的变化；第二段是揭示漫画在现实中的含义，也可以写一写“温室”对于“花朵”究竟会有怎样的危害；第三段是给出看法和建议，或者是呼吁也可。Thus，it is high time that parents，ecatiors and the government made joint efforts put an end to this situation.因此，家长、教育者、政府是时候共同努力来结束这样的情况了。2004年真题作文部分2004年这一年考察的是漫画作文。题干中的有效信息是思路，其余和去年没有任何变化。字数要求是200词左右；分值是20分；文章的话题是“终点和起点”；主题词是“final spur and starting point”。文章的写作思路是：第一段对漫画的内容进行描述，第二段指出这图画含义的社会现状，第三段提出支撑自己观点的例子，比如大学生毕业，既是一个阶段的结束，有时一个新阶段的开始。Only when we are well-prepared for it can we meet the challenge in the future.我们只有做好准备才能迎接未来的挑战。考研英语是很难的好了，这就是2000年~2004年考研英语作文的全部解析，很是很走心的喽，如果帮助到了你，感谢点赞关注哈~（真题图书推荐陈正康老师的《真题超精读》，很详细，也很走心~不过要注意自己考得究竟是一还是二，千万不要买错了喽）政治：“对国家出路的早期探索”专题易错考点考研英语：1994~1999年真题作文全解析

2020考研英语刚刚结束，英语一整体难度适中，与近几年的真题思路接近一致，关于翻译部分，五个长难句依旧各有难度，文章背景主要讨论文艺复兴时期的思维变化，整体词汇有一定难度，今天文都考研英语将为同学们总结翻译考点，并和同学们分享翻译相关的复习方法。考点一：With引导的随从状语与被动关于with的状语翻译，真题中：With the Church's teachings and ways of thinking being eclipsed by the Renaissance，直接可以译为：随着...，与主句进行连接；本句中状语还有被动结构，被动处理的两种方法：变为主动和保持被动，在本句可以译为主动：在文艺复兴时期黯然失色。考点二：同位语从句的翻译关于同位语从句的翻译，今年在真题中为：including the geo-centric view that the Earth was at the centre of our universe. 可以看出同从修饰名词view，同学们要注意区分同从和定从的区别，后面从句的内容进一步解释说明前面观点，译文可以用“即”或者冒号连接两句话，译为：其中包括地球中心说的观点，即：地球是宇宙中心。考点三：修饰成分的翻译翻译的一个难点就是处理好句中的修饰，并且能还原成正常的中文语序，在这个过程中可以适当更改单词词性和语义，在真题中：attempts by the Church to suppress this generation of logicians and rationalists，名词attempts由两个介词短语进行修饰，在翻译时，根据语义进行调整：尽管教会试图镇压这一代逻辑学家和理性主义者。考点四：状语从句的翻译除了修饰的处理，有些长难句难点在于整个句式结构上，尤其是状语从句的考察，今年的真题中，出现了as引导的状从：As many took on the ty of trying to integrate reasoning and scientific philosophies into the world，as在句中引导的时间状语从句，意为：当许多人承担起将理性科学的哲学融入世界的责任时。考点五：长难句主干的识别五个翻译句子中，对长难句主干的识别尤为重要，在今年真题中：Such actions to seek knowledge and to understand what the information we already knew were captured by the Latin phrase 'sapere aude' or 'dare to know'. 整个句子为一句话没有明显的断句标志，在找主干时，可以先找出核心谓语动词were captured，前面部分为主语，后面为状语，整理后主干为：such actions were captured by...。以上为今年的翻译重点解析，关于翻译复习上，建议同学们平时除了积累词汇，还需要进行长难句的断句识主干练习，每星期练习30个句子，并且在练习过程中将修饰成分全部标出，经过练习一定能在翻译模块取得不错的进步。

原文+译文：When a Scottish research team startled the world by revealing 3 months ago that it had cloned an alt sheep, President Clinton moved swiftly. 三个月前，当一个苏格兰研究小组宣布他们克隆了一只成年绵羊时，世界为之震惊，克林顿总统迅速做出反应。Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment -- although no one had proposed to do so -- and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning.他宣称反对利用这种非同寻常的畜牧业技术去克隆人，并下令禁止联邦资金用于此类实验——尽管还没有人提议要那样做——并要求一个由普林斯顿大学校长哈罗德·夏皮罗为首的独立专家小组，在九十天内拿出有关克隆人的国家政策的建议，向白宫汇报。That group -- the National Bioethics Advisory Commission (NBAC) -- has been working feverishly to put its wisdom on paper, and at a meeting on 17 May, members agreed on a near-final draft of their recommendations.这个名为“全国生物伦理道德顾问委员会”（NBAC）的小组一直在非常积极地工作，集思广益，并诉诸笔端；在5月17日的一次会议上，委员们就接近定稿的意见书取得了一致意见。NBAC will ask that Clinton’s 90-day ban on federal funds for human cloning be extended indefinitely, and possibly that it be made law.NBAC将要求克林顿总统禁止联邦资金用于克隆人的九十天禁令无限期地延长，并且还可能要求将之立法。But NBAC members are planning to word the recommendation narrowly to avoid new restrictions on research that involves the cloning of human DNA or cells -- routine in molecular biology.但是，NBAC成员们正计划在建议的措辞上更为严谨，以避免给克隆人体DNA或细胞等研究带来更多的限制——（这属于）分子生物研究中的常规课题。The panel has not yet reached agreement on a crucial question, however, whether to recommend legislation that would make it a crime for private funding to be used for human cloning.然而，该小组尚未在一个关键问题上达成一致，即是否建议立法机关将私人资金用于克隆人的行为法定为犯罪。In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be “morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by alt nuclear cloning.”在5月17日会议上讨论的建议序言草案中，夏皮罗表示，专家组已取得广泛的共识，认为“试图利用成人细胞核去克隆婴儿将是违背道德伦理的”。Shapiro explained ring the meeting that the moral doubt stems mainly from fears about the risk to the health of the child. The panel then informally accepted several general conclusions, although some details have not been settled.夏皮罗解释说在与会期间，道德上的怀疑主要源于对婴儿健康的担忧。随后，该小组非正式地接受了几项概括性的结论，尽管有些细节尚无定论。NBAC plans to call for a continued ban on federal government funding for any attempt to clone body cell nuclei to create a child. Because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds to create embryos (the earliest stage of human offspring before birth) for research or to knowingly endanger an embryo’s life, NBAC will remain silent on embryo research.NBAC计划呼吁继续禁止为任何企图利用人体细胞核去制造婴孩的做法提供联邦政府基金资助。因为现行的联邦法律已经禁止联邦基金用于制造研究用的胚胎(人类后代出生前的最早阶段)或有意识地危及胚胎的生命，所以NBAC在胚胎研究这一问题上将保持沉默。NBAC members also indicated that they will appeal to privately funded researchers and clinics not to try to clone humans by body cell nuclear transfer. NBAC的成员明确表示，他们将呼吁受私人基金资助的研究人员和诊所不要尝试通过人体细胞核转移来克隆人。But they were divided on whether to go further by calling for a federal law that would impose a complete ban on human cloning. Shapiro and most members favored an appeal for such legislation, but in a phone interview, he said this issue was still “up in the air.”但他们在是否进一步要求联邦立法强令完全禁止克隆人这一问题上存在分歧。夏皮罗和大多数委员赞成将此立法，但在电话采访中，他透露这一议题仍“悬而未决”。试题：51. We can learn from the first paragraph that.[A] federal funds have been used in a project to clone humans[B] the White House responded strongly to the news of cloning[C] NBAC was authorized to control the misuse of cloning technique[D] the White House has got the panel’s recommendations on cloning52. The panel agreed on all of the following except that.[A] the ban on federal funds for human cloning should be made a law[B] the cloning of human DNA is not to be put under more control[C] it is criminal to use private funding for human cloning[D] it would be against ethical values to clone a human being53. NBAC will leave the issue of embryo research undiscussed because_.[A] embryo research is just a current development of cloning[B] the health of the child is not the main concern of embryo research[C] an embryo’s life will not be endangered in embryo research[D] the issue is explicitly stated and settled in the law54. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that.[A] some NBAC members hesitate to ban human cloning completely[B] a law banning human cloning is to be passed in no time[C] privately funded researchers will respond positively to NBAC’s appeal[D] the issue of human cloning will soon be settled答案：B C D A

They were, by far, the largest and most distant objects that scientists had ever detected: a strip of enormous cosmic clouds some 15 billion light-years from earth. 迄今为止，科学家所发现的最大、最遥远的物体是：离地球大约150亿光年的一块狭长的巨大宇宙云系。71) But even moreimportant, it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past, for whatthey were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago.更为重要的是，这是科学家们能够观测到的最遥远的过去的景象，因为他们看到的是150亿年前宇宙云的形状和结构。That was just about the moment that the universe was born.那大约就是宇宙形成的时候。What the researchers found was at once both amazing and expected: the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Cosmic Background Explorer satellite -- Cobe -- had discovered landmark evidence that the universe did in fact begin with the primeval explosion that has become known as the Big Bang (the theory that the universe originated in an explosion from a single mass of energy).研究人员所发现的宇宙云既令人惊讶，又在人们的意料之中：美国国家航空航天局的Cobe号（宇宙背景探测器）已经发现了划时代的证据，表明宇宙确实起源于最早的一次爆炸，人们称之为"大爆炸"（此理论认为宇宙起源于一大块能量的爆炸）。72) The existence of the giant clouds was virtually required for the Big Bang, first put forward in the 1920s, to maintain its reign as the dominant explanation of the cosmos. 巨大的宇宙云的存在，实际上是20年代首创的大爆炸论得以保持其宇宙起源论的主导地位不可缺少的。According to the theory, the universe burst into being as a submicroscopic, unimaginably dense knot of pure energy that flew outward in all directions, emitting radiation as it went, condensing into particles and then into atoms of gas. Over billions of years, the gas was compressed by gravity into galaxies, stars, plants and eventually, even humans.按照这一理论，宇宙形成于一团亚微观的、密度相当大的纯能量团，它在向四面八方发散的过程中放出辐射线，浓缩成粒子，然后形成气体原子。数十亿年来，这种气体在引力的压缩下形成星系、恒星、植物，甚至最终产生人类。Cobe is designed to see just the biggest structures, but astronomers would like to see much smaller hot spots as well, the seeds of local objects like clusters and superclusters of galaxies.设计Cobe卫星就是要观察这些最大的物体结构，但宇航员还想看到更小的热点，即，像星系中的星团和超星团这样一些局部物体的粒子。They shouldn’t have long to wait.看来他们不必等待很长时间。73) Astrophysicists working with ground-based detectors atthe South Pole and balloon-borne instruments are closing in on such structures, and may reporttheir findings soon.天体物理学家使用南极陆基探测器和球载仪器，正在越来越近地观测这些云系，也许不久会报告他们的观测结果。74) If the small hot spots look as expected, that will be a triumph for yet another scientific idea, a refinement of the Big Bang called the inflationary universe theory.假如这些小热点看上去同预计的一致，那就意味着又一种科学论说的胜利，这种论说即更完美的大爆炸论，亦称宇宙膨胀说。Inflation says that very early on, the universe expanded in size by more than a trillion trillion trillion trillionfold in much less than a second, propelled by a sort of antigravity. 膨胀说认为，很久以前，在一种反引力的驱动下，宇宙的体积在不到一秒钟内膨胀了无数倍。75) Odd though it sounds, cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible consequence of some respected ideas in elementary particle physics, and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the better part of a decade that it is true.宇宙膨胀说虽然听似奇特，但是它是基本粒子物理学中一些公认的理论产生的在科学上看来似乎可信的结论。许多天体物理学家近十年来一直确信这一论说是正确的。

While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practice most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past.几乎每个历史学家对史学都有自己的界定，但是现代史学家的实践最趋于认为历史学试图重现过去的重大史实并对其做出解释。Caught in the web of its own time and place, each generation of historians determines anew what is significant for it in the past.由于受其所处时间和地点的限制，每一代史学家都要重新判断过去哪些史料对他们具有重要价值。In this search the evidence found is always incomplete and scattered; it is also frequently partial or partisan.在这种探索中，所发现的证据总是不完全的、零散的，而且常常是不全面的或带有派别色彩的。The irony of the historian’s craft is that its practitioners always know that their efforts are but contributions to an unending process.历史研究这个行当的讽刺意味在于，从事研究的人一直知道，他们的努力只不过是为永无止境的过程添砖加瓦而已。Interest in historical methods has arisen less through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline and more from internal quarrels among historians themselves.人们之所以关注历史研究的方法论，主要是因为史学界内部意见不一，其次是因为外界并不认为历史是一门学问。While history once revered its affinity to literature and philosophy, the emerging social sciences seemed to afford greater opportunities for asking new questions and providing rewarding approaches to an understanding of the past.尽管历史学一度崇尚它与文学和哲学的相似之处，但新兴的社会科学似乎提供了更多机会，以便人们能够提出新问题，有了解过去的有效途径。Social science methodologies had to be adapted to a discipline governed by the primacy of historical sources rather than the imperatives of the contemporary world.社会科学研究的方法论必须进行改变以适应这样一个学科，其基础是史料，而不是当代社会的需要。During this transfer, traditional historical methods were augmented by additional methodologies designed to interpret the new forms of evidence in the historical study.在这种转变中，历史学家研究历史时，那些解释新史料的新方法充实了传统的历史研究方法。Methodology is a term that remains inherently ambiguous in the historical profession.在历史学界，方法论这个词从来都是模棱两可的。There is no agreement whether methodology refers to the concepts peculiar to historical workin general or to the research techniques appropriate to the various branches of historicalinquiry.所谓方法论是指一般的历史研究中的特有概念，还是指历史探究中各个具体领域适用的研究手段，人们对此意见不一。Historians, especially those so blinded by their research interests that they have been accused of “tunnel method,” frequently fall victim to the “technicist fallacy.”史学家，尤其是那些单纯局限于他们研究兴趣的史学家，被指责为使用“单方向研究法”，他们常常成为“纯技术方法论”的牺牲品。Also common in the natural sciences, the technicist fallacy mistakenly identifies the discipline as a whole with certain parts of its technical implementation.纯技术方法论错误地把整个学科与学科研究的某些操作方法等同起来，这种情况在自然科学领域里也屡见不鲜。It applies equally to traditional historians who view history as only the external and internal criticism of sources, and to social science historians who equate their activity with specific techniques.这种谬误同样存在于历史传统派和历史社科派；前者认为历史就是史学界内部和外部人士对各种史料来源的评论，后者则认为历史的研究是具体方法的研究。

翻译题对于考研英语考生来说是难度很高的项目，其难度不仅在于很难获得高分，还在于考生是否能够在规定的时间内完成翻译拿到基本分。如果考生能够掌握好翻译原则、策略和技巧，再加以充分有效的训练，使翻译成为一项获得高效高分的项目是完全有可能的，对于考研英语整体成绩的提高无疑会是一个有力的保障。一、翻译原则作为考研英语考生首先应该了解究竟什么是翻译，或者说翻译的实质是什么？其实，这个问题既简单又复杂。简单地说，翻译就是把一种语言所表达的意义用另一种语言表达出来。复杂地说，翻译不仅仅是一种语言转换，还涉及相关语言的历史文化乃至政治经济等。然后，考生还应该了解翻译的原则是什么？因为翻译的原则是关于翻译是否成立的基础性要求，是体现对于源语的正确理解和目的语的恰当表达的规则和标准。从翻译理论上看，关于翻译原则有很多不同的说法，例如，大家比较熟知的信达雅，忠实通顺，意译直译等说法，还有大家可能不太熟悉的来自西方翻译理论的说法，例如，等值或等效翻译等。作为考生可以不必纠结这些理论，但对于其中涉及的基本翻译原则应该有基本的认知和大致的掌握。首先，我们需要解决的一个比较根本性的原则问题就是在翻译时究竟是应该意译还是直译？所谓意译就是在翻译时保持源语本身的内容和意义不变，但翻译成目的语后可能在结构形式上与源语有差别，甚至完全不同。所谓直译，就是保持源语的语言结构形式，同时保持源语本身的内容和意义不变，但其实很难做到保持源语的内容和形式完全不变。不过，这两种翻译原则没有什么优劣之分，也不能截然分开，具体翻译则要看具体的内容和要求，更多情况下应该是加以综合应用会更好些。一般说来，翻译科技法律文本多采用直译，翻译社会生活方面的文本如故事和小说等采用意译更便于表现源语和目的语所包含的文化意义。然后，我们要解决的现实问题是如何应对应试翻译，即考研英语的翻译题。其实，这主要的是由考试的目的和要求来决定的。根据考研英语考试大纲关于翻译题的要求，考生应该准确理解概念或结构较复杂的英语文字材料。也就是说，考研英语翻译题是要看考生所做的翻译是否能够让人看得出来考生对一定语境中的复杂的词语和句型是否能够真正理解。从这个意义上来讲，采用意译的原则或许更好些，但也绝不应该在语言结构上与原文有太大的差别。所以，对于考研英语翻译题，应该是以体现准确理解为主，呈现原文语言结构形式为辅，但又应该尽量保持原有形式，以展示考生在语言的意义和形式上的良好的掌控能力。有鉴于此，我们可以把考研英语翻译的基本原则归结为，在一定的语境中首先保证英语原文内容和意义的准确，做到信或忠实，然后在保持原有语言结构形式的基础上力争按照中文的语言规范进行翻译，做到达或通顺，从而达到内容和形式的统一，圆满完成翻译任务。二、翻译策略1. 充分利用上下文考研英语翻译的特别之处在于要求考生把所读的英语文章中的划线的句子翻译成中文，说明了语境对于所要翻译的句子的重要关联作用。因此，考生对于划线的要翻译的句子正确和准确理解一定不能脱离这个语境，尤其是，每个句子的上下文都很重要，只关注句子本身是不够的。2. 充分展现两种语言的相同点和差异中英文的表达方式和句型结构有很多相同之处，如语序都是主谓宾顺序排列，也有明显的不同点，如英语的定语如果是短语或从句形式通常都后置，而汉语的定语无论多长都前置。那么，对于相同点可以进行直译，而对于差异之处应该给予特别注意，应该直译和意译相结合。例如，如果英语的后置定语很长，那就不必非得直译成汉语的定语，而是可以进行拆分，如另起一句以补充说明的方式进行翻译。3. 关注学术性语言，适当关注文化意义用于考研英语翻译题的阅读文章大都是关于社会、文化、政治、经济和科技的报道和评述，其词语、表达方式和句型结构具有学术性特征，能够体现概念和结构的复杂性，因此，相关的理解和表达暨翻译都应该展现书面语言的特征，即词语和表达方式的正式性和专业性以及句型的复杂多样化。所以在展现学术性这方面，中文应该力争与原文保持同一性。然而，有些情况下，有些词语或表达方式除了本身的意义之外还可能有特定的文化含义，如果与中文对应不上，可以考虑从文化方面寻求适当的词语或表达方式，如众所周知的It rains cats and dogs和倾盆大雨的突显文化差异的翻译。所以注意体现翻译的文化内涵也是必要的，虽然，这样的情况在考研英语翻译题中的比例并不高。三、翻译技巧1. 调整语序英语是形式化的语言，汉语是意会性语言，翻译时，在明确英语的主谓结构之后，在保持原文意义不变的前提，可以不受英语的语法结构的限制，将介词短语、非谓语动词和从句等复杂成分按照相应的汉语的语序进行调整，使翻译过来的句子具有典型的汉语形式，避免翻译腔。2. 变换词性英语的词性及其变化是显性的，汉语的词性是隐性的，很大程度上赋予汉语更大的词性转换自由，因此，考生在翻译时不必拘泥于词性的同一性，而是应该在保持原文词义不变的前提下展示汉语的丰富多变的词汇表现手段，从而准确、灵活、自然和流畅地传递信息表达意义。3. 增减词语由于所要翻译的划定的句子是作为整体阅读材料的一部分，有些信息在单句中可能是不完全的，甚至是缺失的，但却可以从上下文获得补充。同时，由于同样的原因，有些词语承接上文可能是重复的，甚至是冗余的。鉴于以上情况，翻译时考生应该考虑使用增加或删减词语的技巧，以达到即使作为翻译过来的汉语的句子单独呈现也能保持原文的意义，避免信息传递缺失，当然在形式上也应避免结构松散或突兀。四、翻译示例下面以2019年考研英语翻译题第一句作为示例说明如何运用翻译原则、策略和技巧进行英汉翻译。例句：It was only after I started to write a weekly column about the medical journals, and began to read scientific papers from beginning to end that I realized just how bad much of the medical literature frequency was. I came to recognize various sins of a bad paper: the kind of paper that purports to show that people who eat more than one kilo of broccoli a week were 1.17 times more likely than those who eat less to suffer late in life from pernicious anaemia. (46) There is a great deal of this kind of nonsense in the medical journals which, when taken up by broadcasters and the lay press, generate both health scares and short-lived dietary enthusiasms.解析：1. 根据前述关于考研英语翻译的原则，我们应该首先注意保持英语例句的原意不变，同时尽量保持汉语和英语在句子结构上的同一性，即采用意译为主，直译为辅，综合运用的原则。例句的主要意义是，有些医学期刊，包括广播电台和大众媒体，传播大量关于健康膳食的不实讯息，造成关于健康的恐慌和关于膳食的短暂的热情。例句的句子结构是，存现句包含定语从句和插入成分，其中定语从句和插入成分比较难处理。2. 根据前述关于考研英语翻译的策略，鉴于这篇阅读材料是有关对于医学期刊刊载不适宜的健康饮食文章的批评，具有较强的学术性和一定的专业性，我们应该多采用书面语言，例如，nonsense——无稽之谈，taken up——继续传播。关于对于例句的理解，由于所要翻译的句子是阅读材料的第一段的最后一句，含有比较明显的结论性意义，上文所述都是比较具体的内容，为充分利用语境理解划线的句子提供了便利条件。至于表达方式和句型结构的相同和差异，应该特别关注定语从句如何翻译，需要找出既能保持原句的意义，句子结构也比较相当的表达方式。3. 根据前述关于考研英语翻译的技巧，因应根据关于考研英语翻译的原则和策略，关于这个划线句子的翻译语序需要调整，词性需要变换，词汇需要增删。4. 例句翻译与说明译文：这些医学期刊大量刊载诸如此类的无稽之谈，再经过广播电台和大众媒体加以继续传播，就会引发健康恐慌，同时也会产生短暂的膳食调整的激情。以上译文是根据如上所说的翻译原则、策略和技巧所做的翻译尝试。这样的翻译应该说是完整准确地保持了原文的内容和意义，但从表达方式和句子结构看，译文与原文有较大的差异，原句的主从复合句译成了汉语的小句，英语的定语从句被转换成汉语的递进关系，虽然语序大致是相同的，但英汉语的语法关系是不同的，基本体现了汉语的意会特征。当然不同的人出于不同的考虑还可以有其它的译法，下面将例句的各个部分可以选择的相对应的符合汉语表达规范和习惯的词汇、表达方式和句子结构等列举如下，供考生参考：There is a great deal of … in the medical journals这些医学期刊有/刊载/充斥大量的这些医学期刊大量刊载/充斥this kind of nonsense这类废话/传言/不实之言/胡言乱语/无稽之谈诸如此类的废话/传言/不实之言/胡言乱语/无稽之谈when taken up by broadcasters and the lay press（当）（被）广播电台和大众媒体接着/继续报道/传播的时候generate both health scares and short-lived dietary enthusiasms（同时）产生健康恐惧/恐慌和短暂的膳食/饮食热情/激情以上从四个方面说明了考研英语考生做翻译题时应该遵循和采取的英汉翻译的原则、策略和技巧，其中心思想是在准确理解原文的基础上，以符合汉语规范的表达方式和句型结构把英语译成汉语。如果考生能够以此为基础，同时再加以相应的适当的练习和训练，在考研英语翻译题上取得高效高分的好成绩是完全可行的。
