2015年英語六級考試技巧之翻譯題

　　很多的“名師”很重視英譯漢的技巧，以至于很多考生過分側(cè)重對翻譯技巧的訓(xùn)練，而忽略了翻譯實(shí)際上是英文理解和英漢轉(zhuǎn)換兩個(gè)方面完美結(jié)合的過程。而從以往四級英語考試的翻譯試題來看，往往要求翻譯的句子正是閱讀短文中的難句、長句，評分的原則也是“對譯文的要求是‘正確’和‘表達(dá)清楚’，對漢語不作過高要求”。如果拿著翻譯題就一味想著把英文往中文里套，卻沒有意識到自己對原文的理解實(shí)際上就有偏差，這就很難得到理想的分?jǐn)?shù)了。

　　因此，拿到翻譯題之后，第一重要的是先確定原句的意思。如果句子較長，可以先找主、謂、賓、定、狀、補(bǔ)，分析清楚句子結(jié)構(gòu)，然后再理解。切忌逐字翻譯。

　　從四級考試選擇翻譯句子的特點(diǎn)上來說，有點(diǎn)像是針對大學(xué)英語精讀課文中的重點(diǎn)難點(diǎn)句子的解析和翻譯這一環(huán)節(jié)的測試。因此大家在平常英語課學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)，要注意積極參與課堂的句子解析活動，多分析復(fù)雜長句的結(jié)構(gòu)。這樣，到考試時(shí)運(yùn)用自如，就很容易得分。

　　為了便于大家復(fù)習(xí)，下面總結(jié)了一些在大學(xué)英語精讀課文中出現(xiàn)的長句，大家可以自己分析理解一下。然后，譯為中文。
