国园林园艺，中国戏曲艺术等。词汇方面该篇注意专有名词国家名，四大发明固定表达。句型方面注意强调句”Itis(was)that“的结构。【翻译原文】中国园林是经过三千多年演变而成的独具一格的园林景观。它既包括为皇室成员享乐而建造的大型花园，也包括学者、商人和卸任的政府官员为摆脱嘈杂的外部世界而建造的私家花园。这些花园构成了一种意在表达人与自然之间应有的和谐关系的微缩景观。典型的中国园林四周有围墙，园内有池塘、假山、树木、花草以及各种各样由蜿蜒的小路和走廊连接的建筑。漫步在花园中，人们可以看到一系列精心设计的景观犹如山水画卷一般展现在面前。【参考译文】After3,000yearsofevolvement,Chinesegardenshavebecomeauniquelandscape.Thisincludesbothlargegardensbuiltasentertainmentvenuesforroyalfamily,andprivategardensbuiltassecludedretreatsforscholars,merchantsandretiredgovernmentofficials.Thesegardenshaveconstitutedaminiaturethatisdesignedinpraiseoftheharmonybetweenmanandnature.AtypicalChinesegardenissurroundedbywallsandconsistsofvariousbuildingslinkedbywindingtrailsandcorridors,withponds,rockeries,trees,andflowersscatteredinit.Wanderinginsuchawell-designedgarden,peoplemayfeelthattheyarewalkinginalandscapepainting.【翻译点评】六级翻译改革后，需要考生增加对中国传统文化这一话题的多多关注，本文选取中国园林为主题，难度有些大，且不少地方如直接采用直译会显得生硬，所以建议考生在理解原文的基础上增加意译的使用。为了备考汉译英，考生可以从平时开始就积累一些词汇和句式结构，只有充分准备后方能在考场上更加发挥自如。2013年12月六级翻译原文：中国人自古以来就在中秋节庆祝丰收，这与北美地区庆祝感恩节的风俗十分相似。过中秋节的习俗于唐代早期在中国各地开始流行。中秋节在农历八月十五，是人们拜月的节日，这天晚皓月当空，人们合家团聚，共赏明月。2006年，中秋节被列为中国的文化遗产，2008年又被定为公共假日。月饼被视为中秋节不可或缺的美食，人们将月饼作为礼物馈赠亲友或家庭聚会上享用。传统的月饼带有“寿（longevity）、“福”或“和”等字样。译文：Sinceancienttimes,theChinesepeopleusuallycelebrateharvestintheMid-Autumn,whichissimilartothecustomofcelebratingThanksgivingintheNorthAmerica.TheMid-AutumnhasbecomepopularalloverChinaintheEarlyTangDynasty.TheMid-AutumnFestival,celebratedonthe15thdayofthe8thmonthofthelunarcalendar,isadayforworshipingthemoon.Atthatday,familymembersgettogetherandenjoythebrightmoonintheskyatnight.In2006,theMid-AutumnwaslistedasaChinaculturalheritage,andin2008designatedasapublicholiday.Themooncake,anindispensablefoodoftheFestival,isoftenusedasagiftforrelativesandfriendsorenjoyedinthefamilyparty.TraditionalmooncakesareimprintedwithChinesecharacterswithsuchmeaningsas“longevity”,“happiness”or“harmony”.【总评】该题目选取了学生较为熟悉的“中秋节”话题，减少了考生做题时的陌生感。话题与六级样题一致，均是考查中国文化。从考查难度上来看，该翻译题目与六级样题持平。预计在今后的考试中，中国文化仍然会是常考话题。从做题方法上来看，考生在平时除注意积累常见的文化标志词外，还需加强对英语句子的综合应用。只要做到以上两点，在翻译部分取得好成绩是不成问题的。56.C.Theyoftenhavetoseekjoboutsidetheacademiccircle.57.A.Itshouldbeimprovedtobettersuitthejobmarket.58.C.AnIDPbemadeincommunicationwithanadviser.59.B.helpemployeesmakethebestuseoftheirabilitiestoachievetheirgoals.60.A.Itistheeffectivetoolofself-awarenessandintrospectionforbettercareerplans.本文出自美国最负盛名的科学刊物ScienceCareers的文章PlanningCareerPathsforPh.D.s。历年的四六级考试中，鲜有出自此刊物的文章。由此可以看出考试阅读的取材范围愈加广泛，不再像以往局限于TheNewYorkTimes或是Time。但不管题材取自何处，万变不离其宗的是，文章一定源自英语国家的权威媒体。因此，建议考生平时要多多阅读语原版文章，熟悉英语国家人士的行文表达习惯，这样无论考题取自哪里，都能做到从容应对。本篇阅读属于社论，文章主要探讨的是博士的职业道路。这种主题对于大多数考生来说是比较陌生的。文章指出，现如今，博士生毕业后已经不再于学术圈中谋生存，转而发展起其它事业，如通信、知识中介、科学政策等等。究其原因，是博士生的培养跟市场需求脱轨。鉴于这种情形，相关部门推出了个人培养计划，旨在帮助博士后规划出高效的职业发展道路。这种个人培养计划也被诸多企业采用，以帮助其雇员更有效地工作。文章本身话题和语言难度不高。五道题目中，第一、三题考查了事实细节，第二、四、五题考查的是细节归纳。题序同文章的顺序是一致的，因此，建议考生无需通读全文，而是带着问题回到原文，首先大致定位答案点、接着阅读答案点附近的句子、最终快速勾选出答案。该篇阅读重在考查考生快速提取信息、概括提炼的能力，难度为中等。作文题Directions：Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteanessayabouttheimpactofinformationexplosionbyreferringtothesaying
