专业英语八级考试翻译真题及参考答案I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May;that it was Easter Sunday,and as yet very early in the morning.! was standing, as it seemed to me, at the door of my own cottage.Right before me lay the very scene which could really be commanded from that situation, but exalted, as was usuaL and solemnized by the power of dreams. There were the same mountains, and the same lovely valley at their feet; but the mountains were raised to more than Alpine height, and there was interspaced far larger between them of savannahs and forest lawns;the hedges were rich with white roses;and no living creature was to be seen, excepting that in the green churchyard there were cattle tranquilly reposing upon the verdant graves, and particularly round about the grave of a child whom I had once tenderly loved , just as I had really seen them , a little before sunrise, in the same summer when that child died.我想那是五月的一个周日的早晨;那天是复活节,一个大清早上。
1995年英语专业八级考试--翻译部分参考译文C-E原文:简.奥斯丁的小说都是三五户人家居家度日,婚恋嫁娶的小事。
因此不少中国读者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的声誉。
但一部小说开掘得深不深,艺术和思想是否有过人之处,的确不在题材大小。
有人把奥斯丁的作品比作越咀嚼越有味道的橄榄。
这不仅因为她的语言精彩,并曾对小说艺术的发展有创造性的贡献,也因为她的轻快活泼的叙述实际上并不那么浅白,那么透明。
史密斯夫人说过,女作家常常试图修正现存的价值秩序,改变人们对“重要”和“不重要”的看法。
也许奥斯丁的小说能教我们学会转换眼光和角度,明察到“小事”的叙述所涉及的那些不小的问题。
参考译文:However, subject matter is indeed not the decisive factor by which we judge a novel of its depth as well as (of ) its artistic appeal and ideological content (or: as to whether a novel digs deep or not or whether it exc els in artistic appeal and ideological content). Some people compare Austen’s works to olives: the more you chew them, the more tasty (the tastier) they become. This comparison is based not only on (This is not only because of ) her expressive language and her creative contribution to the development of novel writing as an art, but also on (because of ) the fact that what hides behind her light and lively narrative is something implicit and opaque (not so explicit and transparent). Mrs. Smith once observed, women writers often sought (made attempts) to rectify the existing value concepts (orders) by changing people’s opinions on what is “important” and what is not.E-C原文I, by comparison, living in my overpriced city apartment, walking to work past putrid sacks of street garbage, paying usurious taxes to local and state governments I generally abhor, I am rated middle class. This causes me to wonder, do the measurement make sense? Are we measuring only that which is easily measured--- the numbers on the money chart --- and ignoring values more central to the good life?For my sons there is of course the rural bounty of fresh-grown vegetables, line-caught fish and the shared riches of neighbours’ orchards and gardens. There is the unpaid baby-sitter for whose children my daughter-in-law baby-sits in return, and neighbours who barter their skills and labour. But more than that, how do you measure serenity? Sense if self?I don’t want to idealize life in small places. There are times when the outside world intru des brutally, as when the cost of gasoline goes up or developers cast their eyes on untouched farmland. There are cruelties, there is intolerance, there are all the many vices and meannesses in small places that exist in large cities. Furthermore, it is harder to ignore them when they cannot be banished psychologically to another part of town or excused as the whims of alien groups --- when they have to be acknowledged as “part of us.”Nor do I want to belittle the opportunities for small decencies in cities --- the eruptions of one-stranger-to-another caring that always surprise and delight. But these are,sadly,more exceptions than rules and are often overwhelmed by the awful corruptions and dangers that surround us.参考译文:对我的几个儿子来说,乡村当然有充足的新鲜蔬菜,垂钓来的鱼,邻里菜园和果园里可供分享的丰盛瓜果。
英语专业八级翻译练习题(一)The Rewards of Living a Solitary LifeThe other day an acquaintance of mine, a gregarious and charming man, told me he had found himself unexpectedly alone in New York for an hour or two between appointments. He went to the Whitney and spent the "empty" time looking at things in solitary bliss. For him it proved to be a shock nearly as great as falling in love to discover that he could enjoy himself so much alone.参考译文:独自生活的报偿前些日子,我的一个熟人,一位热爱交际并很受欢迎的男士告诉我,他在纽约的两个约会之间偶然有一两个小时的空闲,他便去了惠特尼博物馆,四处浏览着展品,无比幸福的度过了那些时光。
发现自已独自一人,也能如此的幸福,他感觉像坠入爱河那般震惊。
英语专业八级翻译练习题(二)What had he been afraid of, I asked myself? That, suddenly alone, he would discover that he bored himself, or that there was, quite simply, no self there to meet? But having taken the plunge, he is now on the brink of adventure; he is about to be launched into his own inner space to the astronaut. His every perception will come to him with a new freshness and, for a time, seem startlingly original.参考译文:“他一直在害怕什么呢?”,我问自已。

国王⾮常欣赏他的善举,便封他为圣者。
有⼀天,圣者过⼋⼗⼤寿,国王前来庆贺,特别带来⼀位画家,想通过画家的笔,将这位圣者慈祥的容貌画下来,作为世⼈的典范。
⽤完晚餐之后,众多的嘉宾前来观赏这幅慈爱的画。
肖像画家将这幅画像拿出来的时候,所有⼈⼤吃⼀惊。
因为画⾥的'⼈根本没有慈善的⾯貌,反⽽充满暴戾,粗野,邪恶的⽓息。
国王⼀看,⽣⽓地要⼈把画家拖出去鞭打。
这时,圣者听到惊呼声,跑了过来,他看到这幅画后,跪倒在地:“国王,这画⾥的⼈,才是真实的我啊。
”国王惊诧地问:“为什么?”圣者道:“这就是我⼀⽣挣扎着,不想去做的那个⼈啊。
” 在这世上,没有天⽣的圣者,惟有能时时刻刻⾃我反省,⾃我检视的⼈,才能成为圣者。
参考译⽂: The secret of being a saint Once upon a time there lived in a country a do-gooder. The king was very appreciative of his deeds and decided to honour him as a saint by a decree. On the saint's eightieth birthday, the king was invited to his birthday celerbration. He brought with him a painter so as to do a picture of the kindly saint as a paragon for his countrymen. When the feast is over all the guests were asked to have a look at the picture. To their great surprise, when the picture was shown, what they saw was not a kind but a ruthless and cruel look. The king was very angry at seeing this and ordered his men to beat the painter. Upon hearing the noise, the saint rushed to the scene to have a look at the picture. After viewing it, the saint knelt down and said, "your majesty, the person in the picture is none other than me." Why?" said the king, dumbfounded. "This has been the very person whom I have never wanted to be." In this world, there are no naturally born saints; only those who can do self-criticism and sel-examination, can become saints. task 2 次⽇,他们的马车修好了,上⼭来接他们。
2009-01-06 | 专业八级历年英译汉真题解析(1996-2000)1996年专八英译汉试题原文Four months before Election Day 1, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters 2 and reviewed an oversize calendar that marked the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign. It was the last Saturday in June and at ten o'clock in the morning the rest of the office was practically deserted 3. Even so, the men kept the door slut and the drapes carefully drawn. The three principals and their two deputies had come from around the country for a critical meeting 4. Their aim was to devise a strategy 5 that would guarantee Ronald Reagan's resounding reelection to a second term in the White House.It should have been easy. They were battle-tested veterans 6 with long ties to Reagan and even longer ties to the Republican Party, men who understood presidential politics 7 as well as any in the country. The backdrop 8 of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with: America was at peace, and the nation's economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession. Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed 9 , with plenty of money for a top-flight staff 10 , travel, and television commercials. And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills 11. Reagan has succeeded more than any president since John F. Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America — a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller federal government 12.【概述】本文是一篇典型的关于美国政治的时事杂文,用词色彩强烈,修饰语具有极端性和渲染性的特点。
专业英语八级历年翻译真题试题及答案一、问答题(共10题,共100分)1.汉译英;但是正如其他许多已经发生过的事情一样,当他们最终结婚后,发现最憧憬的生活变得再实际不过了。
他们非但没有分担各自原先的责任--- 正如那些学生们所说 " 一半一半 " ,相反却发现生活的重担加倍了。
这使得我们那两个结婚的朋友时常觉得沮丧;他们突然发现自己并没有过着天堂般的生活而是仍实实在在地生活在地球上,而且成为了新规则和新约束的奴隶。
生活并没有比以前更自由、更幸福,因为他们要去承担新的责任。
既然成立了一个新的家庭,那就无论如何也要尽一点家庭的义务。
他们深情地回想起订婚的那段时光,曾经如此地渴望拥有彼此而忘掉这个世界,然而现在最深切的感受却是自己仍是这个世界的一份子。
2.汉译英;我想不起来哪一个熟人没有手机。
今天没有手机的人是奇怪的,这种人才需要解释。
我们的所有社会关系都储存在手机的电话本里,可以随时调出使用。
古代只有巫师才能拥有这种法宝。
3.汉译英:流逝,表现了南国人对时间最早的感觉。
“子在川上曰,逝者如斯夫。
”他们发现无论是潺潺小溪,还是浩荡大河,都一去不复返,流逝之际青年变成了老翁而绿草转眼就枯黄,很自然有错阴的紧迫感。
流逝也许是缓慢的,但无论如何缓慢,对流逝的恐惧使人们必须用“流逝”这个词来时时警戒后人,必须急匆匆地行动,给这个词灌注一种紧张感。
4.汉译英:茶花(camellia)的自然花期在 12 月至翌年 4 月,以红色系为主,另有黄色系和白色系等,花色艳丽。
本届花展充分展示了茶花的品种资源和科研水平,是近三年来本市规模最大的一届茶花展。

此次茶花展历时2个月,展期内 200 多个茶花品种将陆续亮相。
5.汉译英:生活就像一杯红酒,热爱生活的人会从其中品出无穷无尽的美妙。
将它握在手中仔细观察,它的暗红色中有血的感觉,那正是生命的痕迹。

我晓得我应当去找饭吃,以减轻母亲的勤劳困苦。
可是,我也愿意升学。
我偷偷的考入了师范学校——制服,饭食,书籍,宿处,都由学校供给。
只有这样,我才敢对母亲说升学的话。
入学,要交十圆的保证金。
这是一笔巨款!母亲作了半个月的难,把这巨款筹到,而后含泪把我送出门去。
她不辞劳苦,只要儿子有出息。
当我由师范毕业,而被派为小学校校长,母亲与我都一夜不曾合眼。
我只说了句:“以后,您可以歇一歇了!”她的回答只有一串串的眼泪。
中译英部分参考译文After I graduated from primary school, relatives and friends all suggested that I should drop out and learn a trade to help my mother.Although I knew that I ought to seek a livelihood to relieve mother of hard work and distress, I still aspired to go on with study.So I kept learning secretly.I had no courage to tell mother about the idea until admitted to a normal school which provided free uniforms, books, room and board.To enter the school, I had to pay ten Yuan as a deposit.This was a large sum of money for my family.However, after two weeks’ tough effort, mother managed to raise the money and sent me off to school in tears afterwards.She would spare no pains for her son to win a bright future.On the day when I was appointed the schoolmaster after graduation, mother and I spent a sleepless night.I said to her, “you can have a rest in the future.” but she replied nothing, only with tears streaming down her face.点评:本题是一篇典型的文学翻译,原文选自老舍名篇《我的母亲》。

英语专业八级翻译试题真题英语专业八级翻译练习题1.英译汉(1)Possession for its own sake or in competition with the rest of the neighborhood would have been Thoreau's idea of the low levels. The active discipline of heightening one's perception of what is enduring in nature would have been his idea of the high. What he saved from the low was time and effort he could spend on the high. Thoreau certainly disapproved of starvation, but he would put into feeding himself only as much effort as would keep him functioning for more important efforts.梭罗所理解的"低层次",即为了拥有而去拥有,或与所有的邻居明争暗斗而致拥有。
他心目中的"高层次",则是这样一种积极的人生戒律,即要使自己对自然界永恒之物的感悟臻于完美。
对于他从低层次上节省下来的时间和精力,他可将其致力于对高层次的追求。
勿庸置疑,梭罗不赞成忍饥挨饿,但他在膳食方面所投入的精力仅果腹而已,只要可确保他能去从事更为重要的事务,他便别无所求。
Effort is the gist of it. There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging difficulties. Short of the impossible, as Yeats put it, the satisfaction we get from a lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties. Robert Frost was thinking in something like the same terms when he spoke of "The pleasure of taking pains". The mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be effortless.殚精竭虑,全力以赴,便是其精髓所在。

1997—2012英语专八真题翻译(汉翻英)1997C-E原文:来美国求学的中国学生与其他亚裔学生一样,大多非常刻苦勤奋,周末也往往会抽出一天甚至两天的时间去实验室加班,因而比起美国学生来,成果出得较多。
我的导师是亚裔人,嗜烟好酒,脾气暴躁。
但他十分欣赏亚裔学生勤奋与扎实的基础知识,也特别了解亚裔学生的心理。
因此,在他实验室所招的学生中,除有一名来自德国外,其余5位均是亚裔学生。
他干脆在实验室的门上贴一醒目招牌:“本室助研必须每周工作7天,早10时至晚12时,工作时间必须全力以赴。
”这位导师的严格及苛刻是全校有名的,在我所呆的3年半中,共有14位学生被招进他的实验室,最后博士毕业的只剩下5人。
1990年夏天,我不顾别人劝阻,硬着头皮接受了导师的资助,从此开始了艰难的求学旅程。
参考译文:Like students from other Asian countries and regions, most Chinese students who come to pursue their further education in the United States work on their studies most diligently and assiduously. Even on weekends, they would frequently spend one day, or even two days, to work overtime in their laboratories. Therefore, compared with their American counterparts, they are more academically fruitful. My supervisor is of Asian origin. He is addicted to alcohols and cigarettes, with a sharp/irritable temper. Nevertheless, he highly appreciates the industry and the solid foundational knowledge of Asian students and has a particularly keen insight into what Asian students have on their mind. Hence, of all the students recruited into his laboratory, except for one German, the other five were all from Asia. He even put an eye-catching notice on the door of his lab, which read, “All the research assistants of this laborat ory are required to work 7 days a week, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.. Nothing but work during the working hours.” This supervisor is reputed on the entire campus for his severity and harshness. During the 3 and a half years that I stayed there, a total of 14 students were recruited into his laboratory and only 5 of them stayed until they graduated with their Ph.D. degrees. In the summer of 1990, ignoring the dissuasions from others, I accepted my supervisor’s sponsorship and embarked on my difficult journey of academic pursuit.1998年C-E原文:1997年2月24日我们代表团下榻日月潭中信大饭店,送走了最后一批客人,已是次日凌晨3点了。

但泊珍看他第一眼,仿似一声雷劈头而来.令她晕头胀脑,这l岁的孩子脸型长得如此熟悉,她心里的第一道声音是,不能带回去!痛苦纠聚心中,眉心发烫发热,胸口郁闷难展,胃里一股气冲喉而上。
院长说这孩子发育迟缓时,她更是心头无绪。
她在孩子所待的房里来回踱步,这房里还有其他小孩。
整个房间只有一扇窗,窗外树影婆娑。
就让孩子留下来吧,这里有善心的神父和修女,这里将来会扩充为有医疗作用的看护中心,这是留住孩子最好的地方。
这孩子是她的秘密,她将秘密留在这树林掩映的建筑里。
她将秘密留在心头。

Her chest was brimmed with depression and sorrow which was about to run out of her throat in any moment。
She could not think straight when the headmaster told her that the child suffered from developmental retardation. She strode up and down in the room where other children were staying. There was only one window in the room,out of which some shady trees were dancing. “Just leave it here”, she thought to herself,“This might be the best choice。
CHINESE TO ENGLISH乔羽的歌大家都熟悉。
但他另外两大爱好却鲜为人知,那就是钓鱼和喝酒。
晚年的乔羽喜爱垂钓,他说:“有水有鱼的地方大都是有好环境的,好环境便会给人好心情。
我认为最好的钓鱼场所不是舒适的、给你准备好饿鱼的垂钓园,而是那极其有吸引力的大自然野外天成的场所。
”钓鱼是一项能够陶冶性情的运动,有益于身心健康。
乔羽说:“钓鱼可分三个阶段:第一阶段是吃鱼;第二阶段是吃鱼和情趣兼而有之;第三阶段主要是钓趣,面对一池碧水,将忧心烦恼全都抛在一边,使自己的身心得到充分休息。

专⼋历年汉译英真题2004C-E在⼈际关系问题上我们不要太浪漫主义。
⼈是很有趣的,往往在接触⼀个⼈时⾸先看到的都是他或她的优点。
这⼀点颇像是在餐馆⾥⽤餐的经验。
开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候,印象很好。
吃头两个主菜时,也是赞不绝⼝。
愈吃愈趋于冷静,吃完了这顿筵席,缺点就都找出来了。
于是转喜为怒,转赞美为责备挑剔,转⾸肯为摇头。
这是因为,第⼀,开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态,⽽饿了吃糠甜加蜜,饱了吃蜜也不甜。
第⼆,你初到⼀个餐馆,开始举筷时有新鲜感,新盖的茅房三天⾹,这也可以叫做“陌⽣化效应”。
参考译⽂We should not be too romantic in interpersonal relations. Human beings are interesting in that they tend to first see good in a new acquaintance. This is like dining in a restaurant. You will be not only favorably impressed with the first two courses. However, the more you have, the more sober you become until the dinner ends up with all the flaws exposed. Consequently, your joy would give way to anger; your praises to criticism or even fault-finding; and your nodding in agreement to shaking the head. What accounts for all this is, in the first place, you are hungry when you start to eat. As the saying goes,“H unger is the best sauce”, and vice versa.2005C-E:⼀个⼈的⽣命究竟有多⼤意义,这有什么标准可以衡量吗?提出⼀个绝对的标准当然很困难;但是,⼤体上看⼀个⼈对待⽣命的态度是否严肃认真,看他对待⼯作、⽣活的态度如何,也就不难对这个⼈的存在意义做出适当的估计了。
专八历年汉译英真题-CAL-FENGHAI-(2020YEAR-YICAI)_JINGBIAN2005C-E:一个人的生命究竟有多大意义,这有什么标准可以衡量吗?提出一个绝对的标准当然很困难;但是,大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真,看他对待工作、生活的态度如何,也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。
古来一切有成就的人,都很严肃地对待自己的生命,当他活着一天,总要尽量多工作、多学习,不肯虚度年华,不让时间白白浪费掉。
我国历代的劳动人民以及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。
参考译文:What is the significance of lifeIs there any criterion for its measurementDifficult as it is to advance an absolute one, it will not be so to judge the very meaning of one’s existence generally from whether he is serious about life and what his attitudes are towards work and life.Throughout the ages, all people of accomplishment take their lives seriously. As long as they are alive, they would rather devote themselves to more work and study than let a single minute slip by in vain. And the same is true of the common labourers as well as the great statesmen and thinkers in our country.2006C-E:中国民族自古以来从不把人看作高于一切,在哲学文艺方面的表现都反映出人在自然界中与万物占有比例较为恰当的地位,而非绝对统治万物的主宰。
因此我们的苦闷基本上比西方人为少为小:因为苦闷的强弱原是随欲望与野心的大小而转移的。
农业社会的人比工业社会的人享受差得多,因此欲望也小的多。
何况中国古代素来以不怠于物不为物役为最主要的人生哲学。
参考译文:Chinese people has never thought of human being as the highest creature among everything since ancient times, whose reflection takes a quite appropriate proportion with all others in our natural world in both aspects of philosophy and arts, but not as an absolute dominant ruler. Therefore, our bitterness and depression are basically less than those of westerners, because the intensity of which is growing with the expansion of one's desire and ambition. People in the agriculture society enjoyed far less than people in the industry society, thus their wants are far less either. Besides, ancient Chinese always regard "not confined by material, not driven by material" as the major philosophy.2007C-E:暮色中,河湾里落满云霞,与天际的颜色混合一起,分不清哪是流云哪是水湾。
也就在这一幅绚烂的图画旁边,在河湾之畔,一群羊正在低头觅食。
它们几乎没有一个顾得上抬起头来,看一眼这美丽的黄昏。
也许它们要抓紧时间,在即将回家的最后一刻再次咀嚼。
这是黄河滩上的一幕。
牧羊人不见了,他不知在何处歇息。
只有这些美生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。
这儿水草肥美,让它们长得肥滚滚的,像些胖娃娃。
如果走近了,会发现它们那可爱的神情,洁白的牙齿,那丰富而单纯的表情。
如果稍稍长久一点端详这张张面庞,还会生出无限的怜悯。
参考译文:Beside this picture with profusions of colors, a group of sheep are lowing their heads, eating by the river bank. Hardly none of them would spare some time to raise their eyes to have a glance at the beautiful dusk. They are, perhaps, taking use of every minute to enjoy their last chew before being driven home. This is a picture of the Yellow River bank, in which the shepherd disappears, and no one knows where he is resting himself.
