2014年6月英语六级考查的依然是短文翻译,较之以前的补全句子,整体在难度上,增加了不少。凡是参加考试的同学,90%以上的同学都会觉得难。
主要体现在话题词不会表达,比如“违章建筑”,“可持续战略报告”,“结构性障碍”,“节能减排”等这些短语,相对来讲都会有一定的难度。此外,对于一些基本的句式拿捏不准。当一个句子出现多个动词的时候,绝大多数同学不知该如何转译。
这里举一个简单的例子,“市政府还计划建造一批水循环利用工厂,并制止违章建筑,以改善环境。”在这个句子里出现了“计划”“建造”,“制止”,“改善”这样几处动词,如果我们把这几处动词全部作为一个句子的谓语动词的话,那在表述上一定会是错误的。那具体该如何处理呢?当一个中文句子出现多处谓语动词时,我们需要把其中一个动词作为谓语动词,其它的动词变形,处理成非谓语动词,比如动词不定式,分词形式即可。那上面的句子就可以表达为“The municipal government also plans to build some plants for cycling water, banning illegal constructions to improve the environment.”
希望各位同学,学习任何知识,都应该严格要求自己,以达到举一反三,触类旁通的效果。

Chinese Academy of Science recently published an annual report on its latest scientific discoveries and the outlook for the next year. The report involves three parts: one report on science development, the second on high-tech development and the other one on China’s sustainable development strategy. The first report includes the latest discoveries by China’s scientists, such as the new particle research and their breakthrough in the study of H7N9 virus. More importantly, this report even highlights some problems that deserve attention in the next few years. The second one publishes some heated fields in applied science such as the 3-dimension print and artificial organ research. The third calls upon people to enhance the top design so that the structural obstacles in industrial upgrade may be eliminated, energy saved, and emission reduced.

中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化,有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。例如,土豪和大妈都是老词,但已获取了新的意义。
土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主,现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人, 也就是说,土豪有钱,但是没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼,但是现在特指不久前金价大跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。
土豪和大妈可能会被收入新版的牛津(OXford)英语词典,至今约有120中文加进了牛津英语词典,成了英语语言的一部分。
【翻译答案】
The Chinese hot words usually reflect the social and cultural change, some of them are increasingly popular with the foreign media. For instance, although the Tuhao and Dama are old words, they have acquired new meaning.
Tuhao (local tyrants) referred to the village landlords who oppressedthe peasants and servants in the old days, but now it is used to refer to the rich who spends money like water or likes to showing off. That is to say, the local tyrants have wealth but no taste. Dama (aunt) is a calling to middle-aged women, but now it especially refers to the Chinese women who buy large amount of gold when gold tumbled recently.
These two words are likely to be included in the new OXford English Dictionary. Until now, about 120 Chinese words have added in the OXford English Dictionary, becoming a part of the English language.
