環(huán)保
四級(jí)翻譯預(yù)測(cè):
隨著世界人口越來越密集(densely populated),空氣污染已經(jīng)成了嚴(yán)重的問題??諝馕廴局饕獊碓从谒膫€(gè)主要的人類活動(dòng)領(lǐng)域:工業(yè)、能源業(yè)、交通運(yùn)輸業(yè)以及農(nóng)業(yè)。經(jīng)營(yíng)工廠,為火車、飛機(jī)和公共汽車提供動(dòng)力都需要能源。幾乎所有這些能源都是通過燃燒燃料產(chǎn)生的,這就會(huì)造成空氣污染??茖W(xué)家們正在研究能減少環(huán)境破壞的新發(fā)電方式。增強(qiáng)的公共環(huán)保意識(shí)使諸如回收利用(recycling)等活動(dòng)產(chǎn)生。
翻譯范文:
As the world is getting more and more denselypopulated,air pollution has become a severeproblem.
Air pollution mainly derives from four majorhuman activity sectors:industry,energy,transportation andagriculture.
Energies are needed to run factories,to power trains,planes and buses.
Nearly all ofthese energies are produced by burning fuels,which would cause air pollution.
Scientists arestudying new ways of generating electricity that can be less damaging to the environment.
Theincreased public environmental awareness has led to the advent of activities such as recycling.
翻譯詳解:
1.隨著世界人口越來越密集,污染已經(jīng)成了嚴(yán)重的問題:“隨著”可譯為as,這句話可以用as引導(dǎo)的伴隨狀語從句來翻譯。
2.科學(xué)家們正在研究能減少環(huán)境破壞的新發(fā)電方式:這個(gè)句子可翻譯為包含定語從句的句子,new ways是先行詞,引導(dǎo)詞是that。其中“研究”可用動(dòng)詞study 表示;“發(fā)電”可譯為generate electricity; “減少環(huán)境破壞”即“對(duì)環(huán)境的破壞更少”可譯為be less damaging to the environment。
電子產(chǎn)品
翻譯原文:
如今,中國已經(jīng)成為智能手機(jī)和個(gè)人電腦的最大消費(fèi)國。根據(jù)相關(guān)資料顯示,到去年年底,中國智能手機(jī)市場(chǎng)已成為全球智能手機(jī)出貨量(shipment)第一的市場(chǎng)。與此同時(shí),在個(gè)人電腦銷售方面,中國去年售出了8520萬臺(tái),超越美國成為最大的個(gè)人電腦市場(chǎng)。中國在電子產(chǎn)品方面消費(fèi)的增加充分體現(xiàn)了中國市場(chǎng)的巨大變化:財(cái)力的增加和消費(fèi)者受教育程度的提高。電子產(chǎn)品價(jià)格的走低也被認(rèn)為是吸引中國消費(fèi)者的重要原因之一。
重點(diǎn)詞匯:
智能手機(jī) smart phone
個(gè)人電腦 personal computer; PC
相關(guān)資料 related data
電子產(chǎn)品 electronic product
財(cái)力 financial resource/power/capacity
Nowadays, China has become the world’s largest consumer of smartphones and personal computers. According to related data, by the end of last year, China’s smartphone market had become the biggest market of smartphone shipments around the world. Meanwhile, in the aspect of personal computer sales, 85.2 million computers were sold in China last year, which made China the biggest PC market overtaking the United States. The increase in the consumption of electronic products fully displays great changes in China’s market: the increase of financial resources and the improvement of consumers’ education. The lowering prices of electronic products are also regarded as one of the important reasons to attract Chinese consumers.
社會(huì)想象
英語四級(jí)翻譯中也會(huì)有些社會(huì)現(xiàn)象相關(guān)的翻譯主題,以一種更為客觀的口吻更容易博得閱卷老師的好感,下面,就看一看這些有關(guān)社會(huì)現(xiàn)象的四級(jí)翻譯預(yù)測(cè)題及其參考譯文。
1、中國城市化
原文:中國城市化(urbanization)將會(huì)充分釋放潛在內(nèi)需(domestic demand)。一些經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家指出,在中國幾乎所有的發(fā)展中城市都面臨 著城市化的進(jìn)程。這使得許多人的生活水平有所提高,也為人們提 供更多的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)。隨著越來越多的人向城市遷徙,住房及城市基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)(infrastructure construction),包括水源等能源的供應(yīng)將會(huì) 成為城市發(fā)展的焦點(diǎn)問題。商品與服務(wù)的自由、快速流通是城市化 社會(huì)的一項(xiàng)基本特征。逐漸擴(kuò)張的城市需要更多的零售店來滿足消費(fèi)者的需求。
參考譯文:Urbanization
China’s urbanization will release the full potential of domestic demand. Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country. It will lead to a better quality of life for many people,and provide individuals with more job opportunities. The construction of housing and city infrastructure, in?cluding water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban develop?ment as more people migrate to cities. Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city. But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation. The fast, free flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society. Ex-panding cities require more retail outlets to serve customers.
2、全球變暖
原文:目前,全球變暖是一個(gè)熱門話題,但是有關(guān)全球變暖的各項(xiàng)證據(jù)似乎還有些不同的聲音。人們現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)知道,地球的發(fā)展經(jīng)歷了很多周期(cycle),盡管在歷史上還未出現(xiàn)過像今天這樣的時(shí)代,即高度工業(yè)化(industrialization)產(chǎn)生如此多的污染。全球變暖主要是由于二氧化碳?xì)怏w(carbon dioxide)的增多。
參考譯文:Global warming
Global warming is the hot topic around the world at this time but, there is also dissention about the evidence being presented to support the argument. The earth is known to go through cycles; although the past has never produced an age of so much industrialization causing the pollution currently being experienced. A major source of the problem is the increase in carbon dioxide levels.
3、公平教育
原文:為了促進(jìn)教育公平,中國已經(jīng)投入360億元,用于改善農(nóng)村地區(qū)教育設(shè)施和加強(qiáng)中西部地區(qū)農(nóng)村義務(wù)教育。這些資金用于改善教學(xué)設(shè)施、購買書籍,使16萬多所中小學(xué)收益。資金還用于購置音樂和繪畫器材?,F(xiàn)在農(nóng)村和山區(qū)的兒童可以與沿海城市的兒童一樣上音樂和繪畫課。一些為接受更好教育而轉(zhuǎn)往城市上學(xué)的學(xué)生如今又回到了本地農(nóng)村學(xué)校就讀。
參考譯文:Equity in education
In order to promote equity in education, China has invested 36 billion yuan for the improvement of educational facilities in rural areas and strengthening of rural compulsory education Midwest. These funds were used to improve the teaching facilities, purchase of books, so that more than 160,000 primary and secondary income. Funds are also used to purchase music and painting equipment. Now children in rural and mountainous areas with children’s coastal cities like music and painting lessons. Some receive a better education for the city school students now transferred back to the local rural schools now.
4、新法規(guī)
原文:這周頒布的一項(xiàng)新法律要求子女必須經(jīng)常探望年齡超過60歲的父母,并確保他們經(jīng)濟(jì)和精神上的需求得到滿足。星期二,新華社報(bào)導(dǎo)了_條新聞,來自江蘇市無錫市的一位77歲的老太太起訴她的女兒忽略她。這是新法律生效后的第一起案件,當(dāng)?shù)胤ㄔ阂?guī)定她的女兒至少每月探望母親兩次,并提供財(cái)力支持。但是這項(xiàng)法律引發(fā)了爭(zhēng)議。有人說這給了那些因?yàn)楣ぷ?、學(xué)習(xí)或者其他原因搬離家鄉(xiāng)的人更多壓力。
參考譯文:A New National Law
A new national law introduced this week requires the offspring of parents older than 60 to visit their parents “frequently”and make sure their financial and spiritual needs are met. On Tuesday, Xinhua reported a news that a 77-year-old woman from Jiangsu city of Wuxi sued her daughter for neglecting her. In the first case after the new law came into effect, the local court ruled that her daughter must visit her at least twice a month and provide financial support. But the law’s introduction has proved controversial. Some say it puts too much pressure on those who move away from home for work, study or other opportunities.
5、整容
原文:對(duì)于一名女子來說,傳統(tǒng)美是她的唯一標(biāo)志。她的皮膚應(yīng)該天生麗質(zhì),沒有皺紋,沒有疤痕,沒有瑕疵。她的身材應(yīng)該消瘦苗條,通常高挑個(gè),雙腿修長(zhǎng),其中青春年少則是首要條件。所有在電視廣告中出現(xiàn)的“花容月貌”的靚女都符合這個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。這種形象是人為的,是可以人工塑造的。許多婦女盡其所能來擺布和修改自己的容貌體態(tài)。
參考譯文:Plastic Surgery
To a woman,the traditional beauty is her only mark.Her skin should be born smooth without wrinkles,scars or flaws.Her body should be slim and thin,and usually she is tall,having long legs.The youth is the primary condition.All of the beauties who have showed up in the TV commercials are fit for that criterion.This image is artificial and can be made by people.Many women do their best to decorate and modify their looks and figures.
6、空巢老人
原文:通常情況下,“空巢老人(emptynester)”是指子女離家后的中老年人。如今,隨著社會(huì)老齡化程度的加深,空巢老人越來越多,已經(jīng)成為~個(gè)不容忽視的社會(huì)問題(social issue)。同時(shí)它也導(dǎo)致了另一個(gè)問題——家庭空巢綜合征(syndrome)的產(chǎn)生,是指當(dāng)子女由于工作、學(xué)習(xí)、結(jié)婚等原因而離家后,獨(dú)守空巢的中老年人因此而產(chǎn)生的心理失調(diào)癥狀。
參考譯文:The Emptynester
Typically, "empty nester" refers to the middle-aged and elderly people whose children have left home.Nowadays, along with the advance of aging of the society, there are more and more empty nesters, which have become a social issue that cannot be ignored.At the same time, it also leads another problem--empty nest syndrome--a psychological disorder the middle-aged and elderly people suffered, which is caused by the absence of their children who move out of home due to work, study, marriage and so on.
現(xiàn)代社會(huì)&趨勢(shì)
1、月光族
原文:
中國經(jīng)濟(jì)的高速發(fā)展,帶來了消費(fèi)文化的曰益流行,同時(shí)也催生了一批具有高學(xué)歷,充分享受資本主義消費(fèi)模式的年輕人,他們習(xí)慣于當(dāng)月工資當(dāng)月花。因而被稱為“月光族”(the moonlight group)。“月光族”一詞出現(xiàn)于20世紀(jì)90年代后期,是用來諷刺那 些出身富裕、接受高等教育、充分享受快餐文化(fast food culture)的 年輕人。
參考譯文:
The moonlight group
China’s economy is developing very quickly, and has brought with it a culture of consumption more prevalent with each passing day. At the same time, it has brought into being an educated group of young people who enjoy capitalist consumption way. They’re used to spending money as soon as they get it every month, and so are called the moon-light group”. This word came into being during the 1990s, to make fun of those born-into wealth,who have received a high education, and who prefer fast food culture.
2、找工作
原文:
如今,越來越多的大學(xué)生抱怨很難找到好工作。造成這一現(xiàn)象的原因如下:首先,大學(xué)生把在校的大多數(shù) 時(shí)間都用在了專業(yè)學(xué)科學(xué)習(xí)上,只有當(dāng)他們開始找工作的時(shí)候,才意識(shí)到自己缺乏必要的職業(yè)培訓(xùn)。其次,大 學(xué)生之間的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)也越來越激烈,這導(dǎo)致任何一名大學(xué)生找到工作的機(jī)會(huì)都變小了。因此,強(qiáng)烈建議大學(xué)生在課余時(shí)間做一些兼職工作,以積累相關(guān)的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
參考譯文:
finding a good job
Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training. Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce. And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.
3、一畢業(yè)就結(jié)婚
原文:
越來越多來自北京、上海、廣州、沈陽和其他一些大城市的大學(xué)生選擇畢業(yè)后就結(jié)婚。這與20世紀(jì)80年代和90年代的情況形成了鮮明的對(duì)比,那時(shí)候很多城市的年輕人都推遲結(jié)婚,直到他們的年齡“足夠大”—在30多歲甚至40多歲的時(shí)候。許多人花時(shí)間尋找有著良好的經(jīng)濟(jì)背景或好看的相貌的配偶,而不是尋找愛情。然而,這些選擇畢業(yè)后就結(jié)婚的學(xué)生的父母必須照顧這些小夫妻的日常起居,因?yàn)檫@些年輕人仍然在探索如何作為一家人來生活。
參考譯文:
Getting Married Rigth After Graduating
University students in Beijing,Shanghai,Guangzhou,Shenyang and some other big cities are increasingly choosing to get married right after graduating.This is in sharp contrast to the situation in the 1980s and 1990s when many urban youngsters put off marriage until they were “old enough”一in their 30s or even 40s.Many spent their time looking for spouses with good economic backgrounds or attractive faces,instead of looking for love.However,parents of these students choosing to get married right after graduating have to take care of the couples’daily affairs,as the young people are still figuring out how to live as a family.
4、睡眠紊亂
原文:
我們的身體夜晚需要休息,白天需要清醒。大多數(shù)人每晚需要8到8.5個(gè)小時(shí)的睡眠才能正常運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。找到更多的時(shí)間、更好的睡眠方法可能是個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)??茖W(xué)家已經(jīng)確認(rèn)了80多種不同的睡眠紊亂癥(sleep disorders)。有些睡眠紊亂癥是遺傳的。但是,許多睡眠紊亂癥是由于熬夜,經(jīng)??鐣r(shí)區(qū)旅行以及上夜班而引起的。
參考譯文:
Sleep Disorders
Our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives.Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are genetic. But many problems are caused by staying up late and by traveling frequently between time zone or by working nights.
5、設(shè)計(jì)產(chǎn)業(yè)的趨勢(shì)
原文:
中國公司想創(chuàng)造世界品牌,外國公司想增加在中國的銷量,這些都正改變著中國的設(shè)計(jì)產(chǎn)業(yè)。中國制造商意識(shí)到,若他們想在本國市場(chǎng)脫穎而出,在外國市場(chǎng)嶄露頭角,就必須設(shè)計(jì)更好的產(chǎn)品。索尼這樣的外國公司也開始明白,從前海外公司常把隨便什么地方設(shè)計(jì)的產(chǎn)品拿到中國來賣,而現(xiàn)在,中國消費(fèi)者變得更加挑剔,他們不再那樣容易滿足了。
參考譯文:
The Trend of Design Industry
Chinese companies want to create world brands and the foreign companies want to increase the selling in China which all change the Chinese design industry.The Chinese manufacturers realize that they have to design better products if they want to stand out in the domestic markets as well as distinguish themselves in the foreign markets.Previously,the overseas companies always took the products which were designed in somewhere to Chinese market,but now the foreign companies such as Sony begins to realize that the Chinese consumers become more and more fastidious and no longer easy to be satisfied.
大學(xué)教育
翻譯原文:
大學(xué)教育是人類文明的體現(xiàn),大學(xué)教育水平則反映社會(huì)的文明程度。中國的大學(xué)教育近些年快速發(fā)展,有助于普及高等教育。大學(xué)的數(shù)量和大學(xué)生的人數(shù)增長(zhǎng)迅速,在2010年,在校大學(xué)生人數(shù)就已經(jīng)達(dá)到了3000萬。大學(xué)教育為社會(huì)培養(yǎng)了大量的專業(yè)人才,他們是國家未來發(fā)展的核心動(dòng)力,因此,大學(xué)教育極大地促進(jìn)了社會(huì)的進(jìn)步。但中國的大學(xué)教育也面臨著不少的問題,如專業(yè)設(shè)置不合理、教學(xué)質(zhì)量下降、畢業(yè)生就業(yè)難等。
重點(diǎn)詞匯:
體現(xiàn) embodiment
文明 civilization

培養(yǎng) cultivate/foster
核心動(dòng)力 motive force
專業(yè)設(shè)置 specialty set-up

University education has cultivated a substantial number of professionals for society, who are the core motive force of a country’s future development; thus it promotes social advancement remarkably. But some issues are also bothering university education in China, such as the unreasonable specialty set-up, the declining teaching quality as well as the tough employment situation of graduates.
