2014年12月大学英语四级翻译练习及解析10 如今,越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下:首先,大学生把在校的大多数时间都用在了专业学科学习上,只有当他们开始找工作的时候,才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次,大学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈,这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此,强烈建议大学生在课余时间做一些兼职工作,以积累相关的工作经验。 参考答案 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. 难点精析 1.抱怨很难找到好工作:翻译为complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job。其中“抱怨做某事”用句型complain about doing sth.表示,having great difficulties in finding a good job表示“找工作有困难”,用到了句型have difficulties in doing sth.。 2.只有当他们开始找工作的时候,才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训:翻译为it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training。‘‘只有当才’’用强调句型it is only when…that…表示。, 3.导致:翻译为results in,同义短语有lead to和bring about,但是表示不好的结果时一般用短语result in。 4.强烈建议:翻译为it is highly suggested that...,其中highly suggested也可以用 strongly recommended 替换,都表示“强烈建议做某事”。 5.积累相关的工作经验:翻译为accumulate relevant working experience. 2014年12月大学英语四级翻译练习及解析9 茶马古道(Tea-horse Ancient Road)两边,生活着20多个少数民族。不同的地方有着各自美丽而神奇的自然风景和传统文化,比如:大理,丽江古城,香格里拉(Shangrila),雅鲁藏布江大峡谷和布达拉宫(Potala Palace)。古道的两旁有庙宇、岩石壁画、骚站(post ?house),古桥和木板路,还有少数民族舞蹈和民族服装。时至今天,虽然这条古道的踪迹都消失了,但它的文化和历史价值仍然存在。 参考译文 Along the Tea-horse Ancient Road lived more than 20 minori?ties.
