大學(xué)英語2010年期末考試翻譯試題中譯英：U1：Do you treat all new words in exactly the same way .Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply imporssible to memorize all the new words you are learning ?But ,in fact ,it is not your memory that is at fault .If you cram your head with too many new words at a time ,some of them are bound to be crowded out .What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful word must be committed to memory ,words that do mot often occur in erverday situations require just a nodding acquaintance.You will find concentratong on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary. 不要以完全相同的方式對待所有的生詞。你可曾因為簡直無法記住所學(xué)的所有生詞而抱怨自己的記憶力太差？其實(shí)，責(zé)任并不在你的記憶力。如果你一下子把太多的生詞塞進(jìn)頭腦，必定有一些生詞會被擠出來。你需要做的是根據(jù)生詞日常使用的頻率以不同的方式對待它們。積極詞匯需要經(jīng)常練習(xí)，有用的詞匯必須牢記，而在日常情況下不常出現(xiàn)的詞只需見到的認(rèn)識即可。你會發(fā)現(xiàn)把注意力集中于積極有用的詞上是擴(kuò)大詞匯里最有效地途徑。U2： The years passed. He gave up flying and began sailing. He enjoyed it greatly. Chichester was already 58 years old when he won the first solo transatlantic sailing race. His old dream of going round the world came back, but this time he would sail. His friends and doctors did not think he could do it, as he had lung cancer. But Chichester was determined to carry out his plan. In August, 1966, at the age of nearly sixty-five, an age when many men retire, he began the greatest voyage of his life. Soon, he was away in this new 16-metre boat, Gipsy Moth.好多年過去了。他放棄了飛行，開始航海。他領(lǐng)略到航海的巨大樂趣。奇切斯特在首屆橫渡大西洋單人航海比賽中奪魁時，已經(jīng)五十八歲。他周游世界的宿愿重新又被喚起，不過這一次他是要駕船環(huán)游。由于他患有肺癌，朋友們和醫(yī)生們都認(rèn)為他不該去，但奇切斯特決意實(shí)施自己的計劃。1966年八月，在他快滿六十五歲的時候許多人在這個年紀(jì)已經(jīng)退休他開始了一生中最了不起的一次航海。不久，他就駕著那艘16米長的新船吉普賽莫思號啟程出海了。U3： The old lady was eight today. She had put on her best dress. Perhaps-perhaps Myra might come. After all, eighty was a special birthday, another decade lined or endured just as you chose to look at it.Even if Myra did not come, she would send a present. The old lady was sure of that. Two spots of colour brightened her cheeks. She was excited-like a child. She would enjoy her day.今天是老太太的八十壽辰。她穿上了她最好的衣裙。也許也許邁拉會來的吧。不管怎么說，八十大壽畢竟非同一般你又活了十年，或者說又熬過了十年，是活是熬，全在于你怎么看了。即使邁拉不來，她也會寄禮物來的。；老太太對這點(diǎn)事拿得準(zhǔn)的。臉頰上的兩片紅暈，使她滿臉生輝。她心情激動激動得像個小孩。她的這個生日一定會過的很快活。U4： Let us take a serious, reasonable look at what the results be if such a proposal were accepted. Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our problems - everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illness - are caused at least in part by failure to communicate. We do not tell each other what is disturbing us. The result is emotional difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.讓我們認(rèn)真而通情達(dá)理地看一下，如果這一建議被采納的話，會有什么樣的結(jié)果。千家萬戶也許會利用這段時間真正地團(tuán)聚一番。沒有電視機(jī)的干擾，他們晚飯后也許會圍坐在一起，當(dāng)真交談起來。眾所周知，我們的許多問題事實(shí)上是所有的問題，從代溝、高離婚率到某些精神病至少部分地是由于沒能交流思想而引起的。我們誰也不把自己心頭的煩惱告訴別人，結(jié)果感情上便產(chǎn)生了這樣那樣的問題。利用這安靜的、全家聚在一起的時刻來討論我們的各種問題，我們相互之間也許會更加了解，更加相愛。U6: After graduation I returned home to my small town in Indiana. I didnt have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs, a friend of my fathers, owned a small shirt factory in town. Within the past five years it had grown from twenty to eighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big and inefficient, so he asked me to come in on a short-term basis as a consultant.畢業(yè)后我回到家鄉(xiāng)印第安納州的一個小鎮(zhèn)上。當(dāng)時我還沒有找到工作。我父親的一位朋友霍布斯先生在鎮(zhèn)上有一家小型襯衫廠。在過去的五年里，廠里德工人從二十名增加到了八十名。霍布斯先生擔(dān)心他的工廠規(guī)模變得太大了，效率變得太低了，便請我進(jìn)廠當(dāng)了個短期顧問。U7： All the time it was quite evident that he sincerely believed that he might eventually buy one of these puddings, and I am positive that he did not for a moment feel that he was in any way cheating the store. Poor old chap! Probably he had come down in the world and this sampling was all that was left him from the time when he could afford to come and select his favorite pudding.有一點(diǎn)自始至終很明顯：他真誠地相信自己最終也許會買一只布??；而我也確信，他一點(diǎn)也不覺得自己是在欺騙商店。可憐的老頭兒！很可能他已經(jīng)家道中落。從前他是有錢來選購他最喜愛的布丁的，而今卻只能這樣來品嘗一下布丁的味道了。U8：There was great excitement on the planet of Venus this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth,and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since. The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan (named after the great Venusian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago). Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals,Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology. 本周金星上群情激動異常。金星上的科學(xué)家首次把一顆衛(wèi)星成功地送上了地球，此后衛(wèi)星便不斷地發(fā)回信號和照片。 衛(wèi)星對準(zhǔn)發(fā)射的地區(qū)叫曼哈頓（是以金星上偉大的天文學(xué)家曼哈頓教授命名的，在兩萬光年之前該教授用望遠(yuǎn)鏡首次發(fā)現(xiàn)了這個地區(qū)）。 由于天氣條件極為有利，信號極為清晰，金星科學(xué)家們從而獲得了有關(guān)載人飛碟能否在地球上著陸的寶貴資料。于是，在金星理工學(xué)院舉行了一次記者招待會。U10： Then Brunswick was 10 miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances of joy. All except Vingo. Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs - 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a banner of welcome billowing in the wind. As the young people shouted, the old con slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.離布倫斯威克只有十英里了，只有五英里了。突然，所有年輕人都從座位上站了起來，尖叫著，呼喊著，大聲嚷嚷著，跳起了歡樂地舞蹈。只有文戈除外。文戈坐在那兒望著橡樹驚呆了。樹上掛滿了黃手絹二十條，三十條，或許有幾百條，一棵樹立在那兒就像歡迎的旗幟在迎風(fēng)招展。在年輕人的歡呼中，這位前犯人慢吞吞地從座位上站起來，向車子前部走去，準(zhǔn)備回家。漢譯英：3、他決心繼續(xù)他的實(shí)驗，不過這次他將用另一種辦法來做。He is determined to continue his experiment but this time hell do it another way.6、我們認(rèn)為他不能在一刻鐘內(nèi)走完那段距離，但他卻成功地做到了這一點(diǎn)。We didnt think he could cover the distance in a quarter of an hour, but he succeeded in doing it.4、他們已經(jīng)安排好讓我們明天去游覽長城，我相信我們在那兒一定會玩的很開心。The have arranged for us to visit the Great Wall tomorrow.
