專八翻譯真題(2002-2012)

第頁2012八級翻譯真題1.泊珍到偏遠(yuǎn)小鎮(zhèn)的育幼院把生在那里養(yǎng)到1歲的孩子接回來。但泊珍看他第一眼，仿似一聲雷劈頭而來。令她暈頭脹腦，這l歲的孩子臉型長得如此熟識，她心里的第一道聲音是，不能帶回去!

苦痛糾聚心中，眉心發(fā)燙發(fā)熱，胸口郁悶難展，胃里一股氣沖喉而上。院長說這孩子發(fā)育遲緩時，她更是心頭無緒。她在孩子所待的房里來回踱步，這房里還有其他小孩。整個房間只有一扇窗，窗外樹影婆娑。就讓孩子留下來吧，這里有善心的神父和修女，這里將來會擴充為有醫(yī)療作用的看護中心，這是留住孩子最好的地方。這孩子是她的隱私，她將隱私留在這樹林掩映的建筑里。

她將隱私留在心頭。

2011年專八真題1.現(xiàn)代社會無論價值觀的持有還是生活方式的選擇都充溢了沖突。而最讓現(xiàn)代人感到尷尬的是，面對重重沖突，很多時候你別無選擇。匆忙及休閑是截然不同的兩種生活方式。但在現(xiàn)實生活中，人們卻在這兩種生活方式間頻繁穿梭，有時也說不清自己究竟是“休閑著”還是“勞碌著”。譬如說，當(dāng)我們正在旅游勝地享受假期，卻突然接到老板的，告知我們客戶或工作方面出了麻煩——現(xiàn)代便捷先進工具在此刻顯示出了它兇惡,陰郁的面容——搞得人一下子愛好全無。接下來的休閑只能徒有其表，因為心里已是火燒火燎了。Beinghastyandatleisurearetwoquitedistinctlifestyles.Butintherealworld,peoplehavetofrequentlyshuttlebetweenthesetwolifestyles,sometimesnotsurewhethertheyare“atease”or“inarush”.Forexample,weareenjoyingourholidaysintheresortwhilesuddenlywereceivephonecallsfromthebosswhotellsustherearesometroubleswithourcustomersandwork--soatthismomentthemodern,convenientandadvanceddeviceshowsitsviciousandgloomyfeatures--andweloseallourinterest.Thesubsequentleisureisthemereshowyforweareinarestlessandanxiousstateofmind.2.英譯中WhenflyingoverNepal,it'seasytosoarinyourimaginationandpretendyou'retiny-abutterfly-anddriftingaboveoneofthosethree-dimensionaltopographicalmapsarchitectsuse,thecirclingcontourlinesreplacedbytheterracedricepaddiesthatsurroundeachhighridge.

飛機飛越尼泊爾上空時，你很簡單天馬行空起來，假想自己很渺小像只蝴蝶在建筑師所運用的某個三維地形圖上方漂浮著，在這里，地形圖一圈圈的輪廓線變成了環(huán)繞高聳的山脊成階梯狀的稻田。

尼泊爾是個小國。我們的飛機在12000英尺的高空向東飛去。從左邊的機窗望去，你能清楚地看到30英里開外的高聳的喜馬拉雅山的刺眼的白色蜃景。

靠右邊的機窗外是三,四條成梯狀的高聳山脊，再往遠(yuǎn)處突然之間成了印度平原。飛機下面看不這幾條馬路。尼泊爾的交通方式以步行為主，人們沿著連接整個國家的古老小徑行走著。尼泊爾也有一個土筑的飛機場網(wǎng)絡(luò)，這對我來說很幸運，因為我沒時間長途跋涉兩周半的時間到達我的目的地。我在飛往當(dāng)?shù)貦C場的飛機上。2010年專八翻譯真題(208)1.朋友關(guān)系的存續(xù)是以相互敬重為前提的,容不得半點強求,干涉和限制。朋友之間,情趣相投,脾氣對味則合,則交;反之,則離,則絕。朋友之間再熟識,再親切,也不能隨意過頭，不恭不敬。不然，默契和平衡將被打破,友好關(guān)系將不復(fù)存在。每個人都盼望擁有自己的私密空間，朋友之間過于隨意，就簡單侵入這片禁區(qū)，從而引起沖突，造成隔閡。待友不敬，或許只是一件小事，卻可能已埋下了破壞性的種子。維持朋友親切關(guān)系的最好方法是往來有節(jié)，互不干涉。Tokeeptherelationshipbetweenfriendsisbasedonthemutualrespect,withoutanyimportunity,interferenceorcontrol.Betweenfriends,iftheyhavethesimilartasteandsuitabletemperamentwhentheygettogether,thentheywillgetalongwell,andmakefriendsforlong;iftheotherwayaround,theymayseparatefromeachother,andbreaktherelationship.Nomatterhowfamiliarorintimatewithoneanotherbetweenfriends,theycouldneverbetooover,withoutrespect.Orelse,thetacitunderstandingandthebalancewillbebroken,andthefriendshipwillnotbethereforever.Everybodywantstokeeptheirownprivacies,andiftoofree,itiseasytointrudetheforbiddenregion,thuscausingconflicts,creatingresistance.Treatingfriendswithoutappropriaterespect,whichmaybeasmallevent,butadestructiveresultcanbelainahead.Thebestwaytokeepintimatefriendshipiscontactingwithrestriction,withoutinterference.2.英譯中IthoughtthatitwasaSundaymorninginMay;thatitwasEasterSunday，andasyetveryearlyinthemorning.Iwasstanding，asitseemedtome，atthedoorofmyowncottage.Rightbeforemelaytheveryscenewhichcouldreallybecommandedfromthatsituation，butexalted,aswasusual，andsolemnizedbythepowerofdreams.Therewerethesamemountains，andthesamelovelyvalleyattheirfeet;butthemountainswereraisedtomorethanAlpineheight，andtherewasinterspacedfarlargerbetweenthemofsavannahsandforestlawns;thehedgeswererichwithwhiteroses;andnolivingcreaturewastobeseen,exceptingthatinthegreenchurchyardtherewerecattletranquillyreposingupontheverdantgraves，andparticularlyroundaboutthegraveofachildwhomIhadoncetenderlyloved，justasIhadreallyseenthem，alittlebeforesunrise，inthesamesummerwhenthatchilddied.我想那是五月的一個周日的早晨;那天是復(fù)活節(jié)，一個大清早上。我站在自家小屋的門口。就在我的面前呈現(xiàn)出了那么一番景色，從我那個位置其實能夠盡收眼底，可是夢里的感覺往往如此，由于夢幻的力氣，這番景象顯得超凡出塵，一派肅穆氣象。群山形態(tài)相同，其山腳下都有著同樣可愛的山谷;不過群山挺然參天，高于阿爾卑斯峰，諸山相距空曠，豐草如茵，林地開闊，錯落其間;樹籬上的白玫瑰娟娟彌望;遠(yuǎn)近看不見任何生物，唯有蒼翠的教堂庭院里，牛群靜靜地臥躺在那片郁郁蔥蔥的墓地休息，好幾頭圍圍著一個小孩的墳?zāi)?。我曾對她一腔柔情，那年夏天是在旭日東升的前一刻，那孩子死去了，我猶如當(dāng)年那樣望著牛群。2.漢譯英朋友之間，情趣相投,脾氣對味則合,則交，反之，則離,則絕。朋友之間再熟識,再親切，也不能隨意過頭,不恭不敬，這樣，默契和平衡將被打破，友好關(guān)系將不復(fù)存在。每個人都盼望擁有自己的一片私密空間，朋友之間過于隨意，就簡單侵入這片禁區(qū)，從而引起沖突，造成隔閡。待友不敬，有時或許只是一件小事，卻可能已埋下了破壞性的種子。維持朋友親切關(guān)系的最好方法是往來有節(jié)，互不干涉.Fortherelationshipbetweenfriends,similarhabitsandtempershelptomakeitcloser;ontheotherhand,oppositeonesleavedistancefromeachother.Nomatterhowfamiliarandintimatethefriendsare,therelationshipshouldbetreatedcarefullyandrespectshouldbetreasuredforfriends.Otherwise,thepartnershipandbalancewouldbebroken,asaresult,agoodrelationshipwouldnolongerexist.Everyonehasadesireforhisownpersonalspace,whichcouldbeeasilyinvadediftheattitudebetweenfriendsistoofree.Thenconflictsappear,causingbarriers.Althoughitseemsasmallcaseofnotrespectingfriends,harmfulseedsmaybesowedtoruintherelationship.Inaword,thebestwaytokeeppositivefriendshipisassociatingwithtemperatemannersandwithouttoomuchinterference.2009年專八翻譯真題(286字)1,英譯漢We,thehumanspecies,areconfrontingaplanetaryemergency–athreattothesurvivalofourcivilizationthatisgatheringominousanddestructivepotentialevenaswegatherhere.Butthereishopefulnewsaswell:wehavetheabilitytosolvethiscrisisandavoidtheworst–thoughnotall–ofitsconsequences,ifweactboldly,decisivelyandquickly.However,despiteagrowingnumberofhonorableexceptions,toomanyoftheworld'sleadersarestillbestdescribedinthewordsWinstonChurchillappliedtothosewhoignoredAdolfHitler'sthreat:"Theygooninstrangeparadox,decidedonlytobeundecided,resolvedtobeirresolute,adamantfordrift,solidforfluidity,allpowerfultobeimpotent."Sotoday,wedumpedanother70milliontonsofglobal-warmingpollutionintothethinshellofatmospheresurroundingourplanet,asifitwereanopensewer.Andtomorrow,wewilldumpaslightlylargeramount,withthecumulativeconcentrationsnowtrappingmoreandmoreheatfromthesun.我們?nèi)祟?，正面臨全球性的危機，我們的生存和文明受到威脅。盡管我們聚在一起共商對策，而災(zāi)難卻在擴大，形式不容樂觀。但也有令人欣喜的消息：假如行動大膽堅決，反應(yīng)快速，我們有實力解決這場危機，避開其向最壞的方向發(fā)展。但是，時下世界上的很多國家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人可以用當(dāng)年溫斯頓?丘吉爾指責(zé)歐洲諸政要忽視阿道夫?希特勒的名言來形容，“它們在驚奇的悖論中前行，僅僅為一個確定而遲疑不決，有了決心卻拖泥帶水，信念猶疑不定，見解隨波逐流，掌權(quán)者虛弱無力?！倍缃裎覀兿蜻@個星球脆弱的大氣層傾倒超過七千萬噸溫室氣體，把其當(dāng)作自然排污口。明天我們還會變本加厲，積累的溫室氣體吸納了越來越多的太陽熱度。2,漢譯英手機改變了人及人之間的關(guān)系。通常有留意到會議室的門上的告示，寫著“關(guān)閉手機?！比欢瑫h室仍舊充溢著鈴聲。我們都是一般人，沒有很多重要的事情。但是，我們也不愿輕易關(guān)閉手機。打開手機象征著我們及世界的聯(lián)系。手機反映出我們的社交饑渴。我們常?？吹剑粋€人走著走著，就突然停下來了，眼睛盯著他的手機，不管他在那里，無論是在道路中心或旁邊有廁所。Cellphonehasalteredhumanrelations.Thereisusuallyanoteonthedoorofconferenceroom,whichreads"closeyourhandset."However,theringsarestillresoundingintheroom.Weareallcommonpeopleandhasfewurgenciestodo.Still,wearereluctanttoturnoffthephone.Cellphonesymbolizesourconnectionwiththeworldandreflectsour"thirstforsocialization."Wearefamiliarwiththescenewhenapersonstopshisstepstoeditshortmessageswitheyesgluedathisphone,

在其經(jīng)典小說《開拓者》中，詹姆士·菲尼摩爾·庫珀讓主人公，一個土地開發(fā)商，帶他的表妹參觀正在由他承建的一座城市。他描述了寬敞的街道，林立的房屋，喧鬧的都市。他的表妹環(huán)顧四周，大惑不解。她所看見的只是一片樹林?！澳阆胱屛铱吹哪切┟谰昂透脑炝说牡胤皆谀膬喊　彼龁柕?。他見表妹看不到那些東西，感到很驚異?！澳膬旱教幎际前?”他答道。雖然那些東西還未建成在大地上，但他已在心中將它們建好了。對他來說，它們都是實實在在的，猶如已建成竣工一樣。庫珀這里闡明的是一種典型的美國人特性：著眼于將來，即能夠從將來的角度看待現(xiàn)在；可以自由地不為過去所羈絆，而在情感上更多地依附于將來的事物。正如阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦曾經(jīng)說過的那樣：“對美國人來說，生活總是在發(fā)展變化中，從來不會靜止不變?！?/p>

2.得病以前，我受父母寵愛，在家中橫行霸道，一旦隔離，拘禁在花園山坡上一幢小房子里，我頓覺打入冷宮，特別郁郁不得志起來。一個春天的傍晚，園中百花怒放，父母在園中設(shè)宴，一時來賓云集，笑語四溢。我在山坡的小屋里，悄悄掀起窗簾，窺見園中大千世界，一片繁華，自己的哥姐，堂表弟兄，也穿插其間，個個喜氣洋洋。一霎時，一陣被人擯棄，為世所遺的悲憤兜上心頭，禁不住痛哭起來。
