He points out that he always experienced much difficulty in expressing himself clearly and concisely, bu

He disclaimed the possession of any great quickness of apprehension or

(47) He asserted, also, that his power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought was very limited, for which reason he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics. His memory, too, he described as extensive, but hazy. So poor in on

5、e sense was it that he never could remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of poetry. (48) 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 reasoning. This, he thought, could not be tr

6、ue, because the “Origin of Species is one long argument from the beginning to the end, and has convinced many able men. No one, he submits, could have written it without possessing some power of reasoning. He was willing to assert that “I have a fair share of invention, and of common sense or judgme

(49) He adds humbly that perhaps he was “superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully.Writing in the last year of his life,

8、 he expressed the opinion that in two or three respects his mind had changed during the preceding twenty or thirty years. Up to the age of thirty or beyond it poetry of many kinds gave him great pleasure. Formerly, too, pictures had given him considerable, and music very great, delight. In 1881, how

(50) 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 mo

10、ral character.Answers to Part C (10 points)46.他认为或许正因为语言表达上的这种困难，他不得不对自己要说的每句话都经过长时间的认真思考，从而能发现自己在推理和观察中的错误，结果这反而成为他的优点。47.他还坚持认为自己进行长时间纯抽象思维的能力十分有限，由此他也认定自己在数学方面根本不可能有大的作为。48.另一方面，某些人批评他虽然善于观察，却不具备推理能力，而他认为这种说法也是缺乏根据的。49.他又自谦的说，或许自己“在注意到容易被忽略的事物，并对其加以仔细观察方面优于常人。50.达尔文确信，没有了这些爱好不只是少了乐趣，而且可能会有损于一个人的思

11、维能力，更有可能导致一个人道德品质的下降。二考研翻译的评分标准根据大纲规定，考研翻译的评分标准如下：5 个小题，每题2 分，共10 分。如果句子译文明显扭曲原文意义，该句得分最多不超过0.5 分。如果考生就一个题目提供了两个或两个以上的译法，假设均正确，给分；如果其中一个译法有错，按错误译法评分。中文错别字不个别扣分，按整篇累计扣分。在不影响意思的前提下，满三个错别字扣0.5 分，无0.25 扣分。三考研翻译历年考题特点和内容根据对大纲和最近十几年来考研翻译已经考过的真题的分析，我们发现考研翻译具有如下明显的特点。首先，考研翻译的短文内容大多是涉及当前人们普遍关注的社会生活、政治、经济、历史、

12、文化、哲学、心理和科普方面的题材。其体裁根本上是议论文。如：1990 年：人的性格和行为分析1991 年：能源与农业1992 年：智力评估的科学性1993 年：科学研究的方法1994 年：科学家、技术与科学开展的关系1995 年：标准化测试与评估1996 年：科学开展的差异和动力1997 年：动物的权利1998 年：天体物理学中的大爆炸理论1999 年：历史研究的方法论2000 年：政府调控与工业化开展2001 年：计算机与未来生活2002 年：行为科学的开展2003 年：人类学的开展2004 年：语言学2005 年：传媒领域中的电视媒介2006 年：美国知识分子的作用2007 年：法学在新闻

13、报道中的作用。考研翻译解题的核心策略拆分与组合一、理解英语原文，拆分语法结构由于英语语言具有“形合的特点，就是说，英语的句子无论多么复杂，都是通过一些语法手段和逻辑手段连接起来的“象葡萄藤一样的结构。在翻译句子之前，先通读全句，注意一边读一边拆分句子的语法结构。怎么拆分？正因为英语语法结构和逻辑结构比较明显，在理解英语的时候，我们可以把主句和从句拆分出来，或者把主干局部和修饰局部拆分出来。说得更具体一点，可以寻找下面一些“信号词来对英语句子进行拆分，进而更加有效的理解英语原文：1 根本原那么：把主句和从句拆分出来，把主干局部和修饰局部拆分出来。2 连词：如and, or, but, yet,

14、for 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, thought, although, sothat, .等等；它们就成了理解英语句子的拆分点。3 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, that, whom, whose 等等；它们也是理解英语句子的拆分

15、点。4 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。5 不定式符号to：不定式常常构成不定式短语做定语或者状语修饰语，所以也可以是拆分点。6 分词：过去分词和现在分词可以构成分词短语作修饰语，所以可以是拆分点。7 标点符号：标点符号常常断开句子的主干和修饰局部，也是一个明显的拆分点。Social science is that branch of intellectual enquiry which seeks to study humans and their endeavors in the same reas

16、oned, orderly, systematic, and dispassioned manner that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomena.35 词，2003 年62 题拆分后句子的总结构是：Social science is that branch of intellectual enquiry which seeks to study humans and1 主句 2 定语从句their endeavors in the same reasoned, orderly, systematic, and d

17、ispassioned manner 3 方式状语that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomena. 4 定语从句二、改变原文顺序，组合汉语译文究竟如何改变原文顺序，完全要根据汉语习惯来安排，但是也是有一定的规律可以遵循的。比方说：上面的两个句子可以把句子重新组合成：例11Social science is that branch of intellectual enquiry 主干，“社会科学是知识探索的一个分支；2which seeks to study humans and their endeavors 定语从

18、句比较复杂，可以放在所修饰的先行词后面，“它试图研究人类及其行为；3in the same reasoned, orderly, systematic, and dispassioned manner 方式状语，如果照原来顺序放在动词后面不是太通顺，可以放到动词“试图后面翻译成“它试图以一种。的方式来研究人类及其行为；4that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomena.定语从句直接放到所修饰的词“方式前面，“自然科学家用来研究自然想象那样同样的方式；5这样，整个句子的就可以组合成一个准确而有通顺的译文：社会科学是知识探

19、索的一个分支，它试图象自然科学家用来研究自然现象那样，以理性的，有序的，系统的和冷静的方式来研究人类及其行为。课程大纲第一章 考研翻译根底知识一、翻译的定义二、翻译的标准和翻译的方法三、翻译的根本过程四、考研翻译的核心解题策略第二章 翻译技巧：词法翻译法一、词义选择和词义引申二、词性转换三、增词法四、省略法第三章 翻译技巧：句法翻译法一、名词性从句的翻译二、定语从句的翻译三、状语从句的翻译四、被动结构的翻译第一讲 翻译的定义翻译是一门语言的艺术，是语言之间的转换，是在准确理解的根底上用一种语言来忠实的表达另外一种语言。 Translation means the representation

24、fying the form while keeping the content and spiritTranslation techniquesGenerally speaking, there are more than 8 kinds of translation techniques which are often used in translation practice. They are: transliteration, annotation, paraphrase, amplification, omission, shift of perspective, adaptatio

25、n, division, combination, specification, and generalization (华先发、邵毅，2004)第二讲 翻译技巧：词法翻译法词义选择和词义引申词义的选择和词义引申是考研翻译中最常用的翻译技巧。在考研翻译中，这种现象更是比比皆是：在1996 年74题elegant system 中，elegant 是“完美，完善的意思，而不是“优雅的意思；在2001 年75题And home appliances will become so smart that.中，smart 是“智能化的意思，而不是“聪明的意思；在2003 年75题like the con

26、cept of set in mathematics 中，set 是“集，集合而不是“一套，放置等意思.。一、词义的选择Home: Ill see her home tonight 今晚我送她回家。India is the home of elephants. 印度是大象的生长地。Hes at home with the classics. 他精通古典文学New homes are for sale. 新房出售。Shes at home where she is. 她在哪儿都自由自在。Maternity home costs in America have gone up sharply. 美

27、国妇产医院收费已经急剧上涨。Much is produced here for home market. 这里为国内市场生产了许多产品。He looks on London as his home. 他把伦敦看成是他的故土。由此可见，一词多义的现象在英语中十分普遍。在翻译时，词义的选择应从以下几个方面着手。一、词义的选择一根据词性确定词义二根据上下文确定词义三根据汉语习惯搭配确定词义一根据词性确定词义如：forecast 有“预报，预测的意思，用作动词和用作名词时意思相同；increase 作动词时，表示“增加，增长，增进的意思，用作名词时主要还是表达这些意思。 如：book 这个单词，在作名

28、词时，意思是“书，书籍；用作动词却常表示“预订，预约的意思。 又如：while 作连词时，有“当.的时候，而，虽然等意思；作名词时，却指“片刻，一会儿；作动词，又有“消磨的意思。遇到这种情况，如果不弄清楚词性，常常就会将词义搞错，进而影响原文的正确理解和准确翻译。因此在翻译中，我们可以根据语法关系来区分关键词的词性，以便能准确的判断词义。如：light：This light is too poor to read by.这光线太暗不能看书。名词Aluminum is a light metal.铝是一种轻金属。形容词Will you light the fire for me?你替我点上火好吗

29、？动词round：The Earth is not completely round. 地球并不是完全圆的。形容词Lets go into the hall and have a look round. 让我们进大厅转一转。副词They are dancing in a round 他们围成一圈跳舞名词He worked round the day. 他工作了一整天。介词The boys eyes rounded with excitement. 男孩兴奋得眼睛睁得圆圆的。动词二根据上下文确定词义我们以动词move 为例，如果上下文不一样，move 的意思显然也是不一样，必须依据上下文才能做到

30、准确通顺的翻译。That car was really moving. 那汽车跑得可真快。Share prices moved ahead today. 股票价格今日上扬。The story of their sufferings moved us deeply. 他们的苦难经历深深打动了我们。Work on the new building is moving quickly. 新大楼的工程进展得很快。The governments opinions on this matter havent moved. 政府对这件事的看法没有改变。I move that we support the i

32、理解的微妙；a deep thinker 知识渊博的思想家；deep outrage 强烈的愤怒。又如动词work 在翻译时如果上下文不同，汉语习惯搭配也不一样，翻译时应该选择不同的词义来表达。I think your suggestion will work. 我想你的建议行得通。The new treatment works like magic. 新疗法疗效神奇。My watch doesnt work. 我的表不走了。The sea works high. 海浪汹涌起伏。She worked her way to the front. 她好不容易才挤到前面。The root of th
