Since moving from the page and screen to real life, robots have been a mild disappointment. They do some things that humans cannot do themselves, like exploring Mars, and a host of things people do not much want to do, like dealing with unexploded bombs or vacuuming floors. And they are very useful in bits of manufacturing.But reliable robots-especially ones required to work beyond the safety cages of a factory floorhave proved hard to make, and robots are still pretty stupid. So although they fascinate people, they have not yet made much of a mark on the world. That seems about to change. The dramatic growth in the power of silicon chips, digital sensors and high bandwidth communications improves robots just as it improves all sorts of other products.【参考译文】起初机器人是以虚幻的文学形象出现在人们的视野里，20世纪早期的作家和电影人借此表达对科技的憧憬和畏惧。当时正值“爵士乐时代”，汽车、电话和飞机的迅猛发展几乎到了不计后果的程度。后来机器人成为现实，不再仅仅是书本里或电影里的幻象，并且大体上十分能干。他们做了很多人类不能做的事，比如火星探测，也做了很多人类不想做的事，比如炸弹拆卸、地板除尘，在制造业里也发挥了很大的作用。但是要造出更高级可靠的机器人并非易事，尤其是可以在一些更危险的地方工作的机器人，而不是仅限于安全的工厂车间。并且机器人仍然聪明不足。所以尽管很多人为机器人所着迷，但它们还不足以令世界为之惊艳。但这似乎即将改变，硅芯片、数字传感器以及高宽带通信技术的显著发展，使得各种产品随之优化，同样也能使机器人不断升级。【解析】1.当断则断，说人话。英文作为枝形结构，多长句复杂句，而中文是竹形结构，多短句，流水句。因此英译中时切忌将中文处理得和英文一样繁复，要做到当断则断。这样的处理在本文中比比皆是，比如第一段“as the era of the automobile, telephone and aeroplane picked up its reckless jazz-age speed.”，若不断句处理，就会译成“当时正值汽车、电话、飞机这些科技以不计后果地爵士时代速度急剧发展的时期。”，比较断句后，“当时正值爵士时代，汽车、电话和飞机的迅猛发展几乎到了不计后果的程度。”显然后者更像人话，更符合中文习惯。2.别被生词吓倒。本文难度适中，生词较少。主要有以下两个：第一段里的“jazz-age”，这涉及到考生的文化背景知识问题，指的是一战以后，经济大萧条以前的约十年的时间，但没有这个知识积累也影响不大，考生大可按照字面大胆的译为“爵士乐时代”。第二段里的“high-bandwidth”，较冷僻，也难以推测，这时考生可以采取模糊处理的方式，在句中作为列举成分之一，可以判断出该事物与前两个是同类关系，所以可以泛译为“其他高科技通信技术”。SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2) (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.【原文】中华民族是由56个民族组成的大家庭。自古以来，我国各族人民就劳动、生息、繁衍在我们祖国的土地上，共同为中华文明和建立统一的多民族国家贡献自己的才智。悠久的中华文化，成为维系民族团结和国家统一的牢固纽带。中华文明经历了5000多年历史变迁，始终一脉相承，延续着国家和民族的精神血脉，为中华民族生生不息、发展壮大提供了丰厚的滋养。随着中国经济社会不断发展，中华文明也必将顺应时代发展焕发出更加蓬勃的生命力。【参考译文】The Chinese nation is a huge family composed of 56 ethnic groups, all of whom, since ancient times, have labored, lived and multiplied on this vast land so as to offer their wit and might to the splendor of Chinese civilization and the construction of a unified multiethnic nation. The long-standing Chinese culture serves to maintain ethnic unity and national unification in a formidable manner.The everlasting and expanding Chinese nation is richly nourished by the Chinese civilization which has undergone the vicissitudes of 5 millenniums, hence forming and passing down the spiritual bond of the country and the nation. As Chinas economy and society grows, the Chinese civilization will surely display more vibrant vitality which answers to the call of the times.【解析】3.在句子结构的处理上，英译汉时需要频繁断句，而汉译英则常常需要将中文里的流水句进行粘合。第一段里，“中华民族是由56个民族组成的大家庭。自古以来，我国各族人民就劳动、生息、繁衍在我们祖国的土地上，共同为中华文明和建立统一的多民族国家贡献自己的才智。”行文较散，分析一下，句中“56个民族”和“我国各族人民”是同一对象，所以在译文中用“all of whom”插入语将两个句子粘结。4.中文里有很多同义或近义词的叠加，在翻译过程中大可不必逐一译出，可采取减译的策略。如第二段“始终一脉相承，延续着”其实表达的是一个意思，即“形成并传承”，所以处理为“forming and passing down”这样的减译处理的句子比比皆是，比如“海峡两岸的中国人都是骨肉同胞，手足兄弟。”可译为“The Chinese on bot
