英语四级翻译常用词汇：123个中文高频成语翻译Automation 1502 YuDeyu一、复习建议：1. 加强历史、文化、经济以及社会发展相关热词的积累2. 广撒网，学习、揣摩这些话题相关的难点单句训练做这些单句训练时，先阅读1遍整个段落，专门挑出自己觉得比较难翻的句子，然后重点练习这一句的翻译。
难句会了，简单句自然不在话下。
在做单句翻译时，先尝试自己翻，翻完以后，对照答案，看解析，总结和揣摩其中好的词汇和表达。
下面请大家跟着教研君给出的常考单句示例，具体学习吧~1. 对于大多数年轻人来说，结婚意味着独立组建家庭，然而物价的不断上涨使这一切变得越来越困难。
参考译文：For most young people, marriage means setting up a family independently, which has become increasingly difficult because of the constantly rising prices.词汇点评：组建家庭：set up a family。
有同学容易使用start a family。
start a family表示begin to have children“开始生儿育女”。
越来越：一般看到“越来越”大家习惯译为more and more，比如“越来越多的人”more and more people，但译为a growing number of people可令人眼前为之一亮；而表达“变得越来越”的含义时，使用become increasingly的译法更好。
物价的不断上涨：constantly rising prices，而不是price rising。
表达点评：本句是一个表转折关系的并列句，后半句中的“物价的不断上涨使这一切……”中的“这一切”指代前半句中提到的“结婚意味着独立组建家庭”，因此，用which引导的非限制性定语从句，让整个句子简洁明了。
使字句的翻译：“物价的不断上涨”是“这一切变得困难”的原因，因此处理为原因状语，用because of…来带出原因。
2. 过去十年中国房地产（real estate）行业高速发展。
参考译文：The past decade has witnessed a high-speed development in China's real estate.词汇点评：十年：decade高速发展：develop rapidly; high-speed development表达点评：本句可直译为For the past decade, China's real estate developed rapidly，但如果以“过去十年”作为主语，套用句型time + see / witness + sth.则表达更加生动形象，更易提分。
see / witness意为“见证，证明”，具体使用时注意时态应和语境一致。
所以本句译为：The past decade has witnessed…更地道，注意这里使用现在完成时。
“过去十年”作主语时，注意动词短语“高速发展”要转换为名词短语。
3. 胡同（Hutong）是北京的一大特色，有着与北京城一样久远的历史。
参考译文：Hutong, with a history as long as that of Beijing city, is a major feature of Beijing.词汇点评：特色：feature; characteristic与……一样：as … as表达点评：文化类段落翻译中经常考到“特色”一词的翻译，大家一定要牢记。
前半句“胡同（Hutong）是北京的一大特色”是句子主干，后半句“有着与北京城一样久远的历史”可用介词短语with a history as long as that of Beijing city来表达，以插入语的形式置于主语之后，这样整个句子的中心更突出。
二、考场“强心针”：1. 问：翻译过程中，表达优美重要，还是正确性重要？答：正确性更重要。
如果觉得自己不能翻得特别好，那就首先保证尽可能少的语法错误，意思表达到即可，抓到分是关键。
2. 问：平时积累了不少词汇和表达，到了翻译段落时，突然不会了，最后翻得不是太好？答：这种情况分两种原因：1）太急着下笔，段落含义没有理解透彻。
同学在做汉译英时，一定要首先认真把整个中文段落多读几遍，理顺其中隐含的逻辑关系和信息，确定用哪个词做主语、谓语、定语，然后再下笔真正开始翻译。
2）同学的语法功底稍有欠缺，这种情况，尽量把汉语的长句子拆成短句子。
同样是要多读中文，才能先把中文拆分好，然后逐句、逐句去翻译。
3. 问：我翻译的时态总跟答案的时态有出入，怎么办？答：举几个实例来跟同学讲解下。
1）遇到“近年来……某种现象越来越……”的表达。
首先揣摩该现象是否有“正在进行而且将一直持续下去的趋势”，如果符合该条件，使用现在进行时就可以把这个隐含意义完美表达出来。
2）强调过去某一现象或从过去延续至今的动作对现在造成的影响，多用现在完成时态。
比如“过去十年，中国的房地产业经历了前所未有的高速增长。
”这句中就要使用现在完成时态而非一般过去时。
