1、考研英语翻译真题详解,解题基本步骤一、拆分二、翻译三、组合,1 基本原则：把主句和从句拆分出来，把主干部分和修饰部分拆分出来。2 连词：如and,or,but,yet等并列连词连接着并列句；还有连接状语从句的连接词，如：when,as,since,until,before,after,where,because,since,though,although,so that.,关系词：如连接名词性从句的who,whom,whose,what,which,whatever,whichever等关系代词和when,where,how,why等关系副词；还有连接定语从句的关系代词，如who,which,
2、that,whom,whose,介词：如on,in,with,at,of,to等介词常常引导介词短语作修饰语，所以它们也是理解英语句子的拆分点。分词：V-ed和V-ing可以构成分词短语作修饰语，所以可以是拆分点。标点符号：标点符号常常断开句子的主干和修饰部分，也是一个明显的拆分点。,名词性从句宾语从句（一）用that,what,how,when,which,why,whether,if 等引起的宾语从句，翻译成汉语的时候，一般直译。I told him that because of the last condition,Id have to turn it down.我告诉他，由于那最后一

21、因此，人类学概念上的“文化”，就像数学中的“集”一样，是一个抽象的概念，它使得大量的具体的研究和认识使得可能。,2004The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connections with the process of thought,which took root in Europe long before people realized how diverse languages.拆分点1）that.thought（宾语从句）2）whichEurope（非限制性定语从句）3）long beforelangua

25、 has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe.,电视是引发和传播这些感受的方式之一在连接不同民族和国家之间的关系方面，电视以前也许还从来没有像在欧洲最近发生的事件中那样，起过如此重大的作用。,In Europe,as elsewhere,multi-media groups have been increasingly successful:groups which bring together television,radio,newspape
26、rs,magazines and publishing houses that work in relation to one another.,难点：television，radio newspapers，magazines and publishing houses是并列关系，要翻成“电视台，电台，报社，杂志社和出版社”，因为最后一个词是出版社，其他的几个虽然是媒体，但是和后面的出版社成并列关系，所以必须翻译成机构。在欧洲，就像其它地方一样，各传媒集团越来越成功，整合了电视台，电台，报社，杂志社和出版社，并使之相互合作。,This alone demonstrates that the t
27、elevision business is not an easy world to survive in,a fact underlined by statistics that show that out of eighty European television networks,no less than 50%took a loss in 1989.,评析：这句话难点在于in a fact underlined by statistics that show that写得非常不通顺和罗嗦，如果直译，会非常难以流畅，必须减去一些废话，适应汉语表达的习惯。仅仅这一切就足以证实，电视行业绝非
28、容易生存的地方，统计数据表明，欧洲80个电视网络中，在1989年有不少于50%遭受了亏损。,Creating a“European identity”that respects the difference cultures and traditions which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old Continent is no easy task and demands a strategic choice.,评析：the different cultures and traditions在两个从句中都作句子成份，但是其作用不同，
29、在that从句是宾语，在which从句式主语，所以必须拆分到全句的开头，而促使creating这个主语和后面的is紧密结合成为主句。不同的文化和传统将要建立起连接旧大陆的架构，创造尊重这些文化和传统的欧洲身份绝非易事，也需要战略上的决策，也就是在欧洲为了欧洲区制作节目。,In dealing with a challenge on such a scale,it is no exaggeration to say United we stand,divided we fall.,评析：形式主语直接忽略，翻译真实主语。在这一层面上去应付挑战，说“团结则生，分裂则死”是毫不夸张地，而如果我必须选择
30、一句标语，那将是“求同存异”。,2006I shall define him as an individual who has elected as his primary duty and pleasure in life the activity of thinking in Socratic way about moral problems.,评析：本句最大的特色是谓语和宾语之间存在插入的介词短语成份，也就是在elected之后用了一个常考的as，不解决这一层，这个句子会非常不好理解，下一句的考点也很类似本句。我将把知识分子定义为这样的人，他把以苏格拉底的方式去思考道德问题作为人生首要的
31、责任和乐趣。,His function is analogous to that of a judge,who must accept the obligation of revealing in as obvious a matter as possible the course of reasoning which led him to his decision.,评析：inmanner是“以的方式”的意思，一般放在动词的前面去翻译，状语要位于动词之前。他的功能和法官相似，必须接受以尽可能清晰的方式去说明使自己得出结论的推导过程的义务。或者：他的功能和法官的功能很相似，他们都必须接受一种义
32、务，以尽可能清晰的方式去说明自己得出结论的推导过程。,I have excluded him because,while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems,he has no been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems.,评析：本句主要是while从句，he后面的句子是一个否定强调结构，目的在于衬托后文的factual aspects。我将一般科学家排除在外是因
33、为，虽则他的成就也许有助于道德问题的解决，但是他从未有义务去研究那些问题事实层面以外的任何东西。,But his primary task is not to think about the moral code,which governs his activity,any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business.,评析：否定类比结构和短语is expected to dedicate his energies不要
34、翻成欧化中文。但是他的主要任务不是去思考管制他行为的道德法则，就像商人无需殚精竭虑的去探索商业行为守则一样。,They may teach very well,and more than earn their salaries,but most of them make little or no independent reflections on human problems which involve moral judgment.,评析：reflection是思考的意思，很容易错为反映的意思。修饰关系的顺序必须先翻译后句，再翻译前句。他们也许教的很好，也不仅仅是为了挣钱，但是他们中的大多
35、数，很少或从未就涉及道德判断的人类问题作出独立思考。,2007Traditionally,legal learning has been viewed in such institutions as the special preserve of lawyers,rather than a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated person.,长久以来，法律知识在这类学校里一直被视为律师们所专有的，而不是一个受教育者的知识素养的必要组成部分。【句法分析】本题考核的知识点是：被动语态、并列连词和后置定语。,On t
36、he other,it links these concepts to everyday realities in a manner which is parallel to the links journalists forge on a daily basis as they cover and comment on the news.,另一方面，这一学科把这些概念结合到日常生活中，这与新闻记者每天报道和评论新闻时的做法是相同的。【句法分析】本题考核的知识点是：嵌套式定语从句。,But the idea that the journalist must understand the law
37、 more profoundly than an ordinary citizen rests on an understanding of the established conventions and special responsibilities of the new media.,In fact,it is difficult to see how journalists who do not have a clear grasp of the basic features of the Canadian Constitution can do a competent job on
38、political stories.,While comment and reaction from lawyers may enhance stories,it is preferable for journalists to rely on their own notions of significance and make their own judgments.,2008He believes that this very difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long an
39、d intently about every sentence,and thus enabling him to detect errors in reasoning and in his own observations.,本句的考查点是that引导的宾语从句，主干是he believes that.that，从句的结构是this very difficulty may have the.advantage of forcing,and thus enabling。Of后面forcing和enabling组成的并列结构做advantage的同位语。达尔文认为正是因为这个困难，促使他对每一个句
40、子进行长时间和针对性的思考，同时也使得他在观察和推理中发现错误。这也就使他具有了别人所不具备的优势。,He asserted,also,that his power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thoughts was very limited,for which reason he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics.,本句考查点是宾语从句，非限制性定语从句。主干是He asserted that。宾语从句的结构是his power t
41、o was。其中不定式to引导的部分 follow of thought做power的定语；for which reason所引导的非限制性定语从句中又包含一个that引导的表语从句。达尔文同时声称，对于冗长而且纯抽象的思想，自己的理解能力并不强。因为这个原因，他相信自己在数学方面根本不会成功。,On the other hand,he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that while he was a good observer,he had no power of reasoni
42、ng.,本句考查点是同位语从句，让步状语从句。主干是he did not accept the charge made by that。其中as well founded作为一个插入成分，对charge进行修饰。made引导的过去分词短语作定语修饰charge。That引导的从句是charge的同位语，包括一个while引导的让步状语从句。另一方面，虽然有些批评他的人一致认为他善于观察，但不具备推理能力，但是他不同意这种说法。,He adds humbly that perhaps he was“superior to the common run of men in noticing thi
43、ngs which easily escape attention,and in observing them carefully.”,本句考查点是宾语从句，定语从句。主干是he adds that 其中宾语从句的结构是he was superior to in,and in。which引导的是things的定语从句。达尔文很谦虚的补充到，有些事情需要高度的注意力和细心的观察，也许他自己在观察此类事情时比一般人有优势。,Darwin was convinced that the loss of these tastes was not only a loss of happiness,but might possibly be injurious to the intellect,and more probably to the moral character.,本题考查点是宾语从句。主干是Darvin was convinced that。其中宾语从句的结构是the loss of these tastes was not only,butbe injurious to,and to。达尔文认为，对(音乐和绘画方面)兴趣的丧失，失去的不仅仅是一种乐趣，而且可能会伤害到智力，更有甚者还可能伤害到道德。,
