2011年12月英语四级翻译真题解析在大学英语四级考试中,翻译题所占分值为5%。
由5个句子组成,每句话都由一部分汉语和一部分英语构成,要求考生将其中的汉语部分翻译成英语,与所给英语部分构成一个完整的句子。
它主要考查下列三方面的内容:(1)语法考点。
侧重点是虚拟语气、倒装结构、从句、非谓语动词(动名词、过去分词、独立主格)等。
【真题】89. It’s my mother _________ (一直在鼓励我不要灰心) when I have difficulties in my studies.【答案】who keeps encouraging me not to lose heart【解析】整个句型是一个强调句型,it’s…who/that。
考生不要把关系词忘掉了。
同时所要翻译的句子的宾语补足语又是由非谓语动词的否定形式构成的。
掌握重点词组lost heart(丧失信心)。
【真题】88. Linda _________ (不可能收到我的电子邮件);otherwise, she would have replied.【答案】couldn’t have r eceived my e-mail【解析】根据后面的时态可以确定前面的句子是对过去事情的猜测,用过去完成时。
这道题的关键是时态的确定。
(2)核心动词和动词短语的考查。
【真题】87. Charity groups organized various activities to __________ (为地震幸存者筹款).90. The publishing house has to _________ (考虑这部小说的受欢迎程度).【答案】87. raise money for the survivors of the earthquake90. consider the popularity of the novel【解析】翻译的87题和90题中重点考查了raise…for和consider这两个单词,考生抓住了重点单词也就抓住了得分点。
(3)固定搭配。
主要是名词与动词搭配、形容词与名词搭配、动词与副词修饰关系、名词与介词搭配、固定词组及固定表达等。
【真题】91. It is absolutely wrong to _________ (仅仅以金钱来定义幸福).【答案】define the happiness only by money【解析】此题的翻译是有动词和介词搭配构成的,即define…by。
掌握了一点,整个句子的主框架就出来了,考生只需填补血肉即可。
每道翻译题中,不是单一点的考查,是各种点的考查,如语法和固定搭配,如89题。
总的来说,四级的翻译题是对考生综合英语知识基础的考查。
2011年6月英语四级真题翻译试题及答案Part VI Translation87. The university authorities did not approve the regulation, nor did they make any explanation / nor did they give the reason for doing so (也没有解释为什么).解析:本题考察了两个知识点。
①nor的倒装句用法,后半句表示“也不”的否定意义,注意助动词的时态与上半句保持一致;②对某事做出解释的表达,考察了汉译英中动词转名词的技巧,explain → explanation,或者nor did they give the reason for doing so同样可以。
88. Jane is tired of dealing with customer complaints and wishes that she could be assigned (to) another job(能被分配做另一项工作)解析:本题考察了wish从句的虚拟语气用法(can→could)和“分配某人做某事”的词组搭配,assign sb. to sth. 或者assign sb. sth.89.

George called his boss from the airport but it ①was his assistant who answered / picked up the phone;②turned out that his assistant answered / picked up the phone(接电话的却是他的助手)解析:该句比较灵活,在句法上,既可以使用强调句结构,也可以采用turn out的惯用搭配;在“接电话”的表达上,可以用pick up / answer the phone。
强调句结构为it be sb. who do sth. ,而turn out变化则较多,可以用turn out to be sb. who do sth.或者turn out + that + 从句。
91. Although he was interested in philosophy, his father persuaded him into / talked him into(他的父亲说服他)majoring in law.解析:本题考察“说服某人做某事”的表达,persuade / talk sb. into doing sth.整体评价:今年6月的翻译题难度适中,89和91题的词组搭配是拿分题,而87题的倒装结构和88题的虚拟语气用法也是广大四级考生的“老朋友”,不熟悉实在说不过去~2010年12月英语四级翻译考试87.___________________(为了确保他参加会议),I called him up in advance.解析:In order to ensure him to attend the meetingTo ensure his attendance at the meeting【结构分析】本题句子的主干“I called him up in advance”已经给出,无需翻译,需要翻译部分为“为了确保他能参加会议”。

88.The significant museum________________(据说建成于)about a hundred years ago.解析:is said to have been built【结构分析】本题句子的主语为the significant museum,缺谓语,即(据说建成于)about a hundred years ago为时间状语。
【考点解释】本题重点考查:①被动语态。
主语museum与动词build之间为被动关系; 且bulid这一动作发生在过去。
②据说be said to;be said to+ 动词不定式的完成时,表示不定式表示的动作已经完成。

【原句精释】没有地球独特的环境,地球上就不会有生命。

②定语从句。
“我借的书”,the book (that) I borrowed;③单词的拼写。
