113专八翻译历年真题与答案（-）专八翻译真题及答案1．汉译英当我小学毕业时候，亲友一致地愿意我去学手艺，好帮助母亲。我晓得我应该去找饭吃，以减轻母亲困苦。可是，我也愿意升学。我偷偷地考入了师范学校——制服、饭食、书籍、住处，都由学校供给。只有这么，我才敢对母亲说升学话。入学，要交十元确保金。这是一笔巨款！母亲作了半个月难，把这巨款筹到，而后含泪把我送出门去。当我由师范毕业，被派为小学校校长，母亲与我都一夜不曾合眼。我只说了句：“以后，您能够歇一歇了！”她回答只有一串串眼泪。

将它握在手中观察，它暗红有血感觉，那正是生命痕迹。

抿一口留在口中回味，它甘甜有一丝苦涩，如人生通常复杂迷离。

喝一口下肚，余香润人心肺，让人终受益。

红酒越陈越美味，生活越丰富越美好。

当人生走向晚年，就如一瓶待开封好酒，

其色彩是沉静，味道中充满慷慨于智慧。

痛苦纠聚心中，眉心发烫发烧，胸口郁闷难展，胃里一股气冲喉而上。院长说这孩子发育迟缓时，她更是心头无绪。她在孩子所待房里往返踱步，这房里还有其余小孩。整个房间只有一扇窗，窗外树影婆娑。就让孩子留下来吧，这里有善心神父和修女，这里未来会扩充为有医疗作用看护中心，这是留住孩子最好地方。这孩子是她秘密，她将秘密留在这树林掩映建筑里。

她将秘密留在心头。参考答案：Withpainsgatheringinherheart,shefeltsomethingburninghotbetweenhereyebrows.Herchestwasbrimmedwithdepressionandsorrowwhichwasabouttorunoutofherthroatinanymoment.Shecouldnotthinkstraightwhentheheadmastertoldherthatthechildsufferedfromdevelopmentalretardation.Shestrodeupanddownintheroomwhereotherchildrenwerestaying.Therewasonlyonewindowintheroom,outofwhichsomeshadytreesweredancing.“Justleaveithere”,shethoughttoherself,“Thismightbethebestchoice.Therearekind-heartedpriestsandnunsandtheplacewillberenovatedintoaMedicareCenter”.Thechildwouldbehersecretkeptinthebuildingsbehindthewoods.2.英译汉Insomecases,intelligentpeopleimplementingintelligentpoliciesareresponsibleforproducinga"boomerangeffect";theyactuallycreatemoreofwhateveritistheyseektoreduceinthefirstplace.

专八翻译真题及答案汉译英当代社会不论价值观持有还是生活方式选择都充满了矛盾。而最让当代人感到尴尬是，面对重重矛盾，许多时候你别无选择。慌忙与休闲是截然不一样两种生活方式。但在现实生活中，人们却在这两种生活方式间频繁穿梭，有时也说不清自己到底是“休闲着”还是“忙碌着”。譬如说，当我们正在旅游胜地享受假期，却突然接到老板电话，告诉我们客户或工作方面出了麻烦——当代便捷先进工具在此刻显示出了它狰狞、阴郁面容——搞得人一下子兴趣全无。接下来休闲只能徒有其表，因为心里已是火烧火燎了。参考答案：Beinghastyandatleisurearetwoquitedistinctlifestyles.Butintherealworld,peoplehavetofrequentlyshuttlebetweenthesetwolifestyles,sometimesnotsurewhethertheyare“atease”or“inarush”.Forexample,weareenjoyingourholidaysintheresortwhilesuddenlywereceivephonecallsfromthebosswhotellsustherearesometroubleswithourcustomersandwork--soatthismomentthemodern,convenientandadvanceddeviceshowsitsviciousandgloomyfeatures--andweloseallourinterest.Thesubsequentleisureisthemereshowyforweareinarestlessandanxiousstateofmind.2.英译汉WhenflyingoverNepal,it'seasytosoarinyourimaginationandpretendyou'retiny-abutterfly-anddriftingaboveoneofthosethree-dimensionaltopographicalmapsarchitectsuse,thecirclingcontourlinesreplacedbytheterracedricepaddiesthatsurroundeachhighridge.

参考答案：飞机飞越尼泊尔上空时，你很轻易天马行空起来，假想自己很渺小像只蝴蝶在建筑师所使用某个三维地形图上方漂浮着，在这里，地形图一圈圈轮廓线变成了围绕高耸山脊成阶梯状稻田。

尼泊尔是个小国。我们飞机在1英尺高空向东飞去。从左边机窗望去，你能清楚地看到30英里开外高耸喜马拉雅山刺眼白色蜃景。

靠右边机窗外是三、四条成梯状高耸山脊，再往远处突然之间成了印度平原。飞机下面看不这几条公路。尼泊尔交通方式以步行为主，人们沿着连接整个国家古老小径行走着。尼泊尔也有一个土筑飞机场网络，这对我来说很幸运，因为我没时间长途跋涉两周半时间抵达我目标地。我在飞往当地机场飞机上。专八翻译真题及答案1．汉译英朋友关系存续是以相互尊重为前提,容不得半点强求、干涉和控制。朋友之间,情趣相投、脾气对味则合、则交;反之,则离、则绝。朋友之间再熟悉,再亲密,也不能随便过头，不恭不敬。不然，默契和平衡将被打破,友好关系将不复存在。每个人都希望拥有自己私密空间，朋友之间过于随便，就轻易侵入这片禁区，从而引发冲突，造成隔膜。待友不敬，或许只是一件小事，却可能已埋下了破坏性种子。维持朋友亲密关系最好方法是往来有节，互不干涉。Tokeeptherelationshipbetweenfriendsisbasedonthemutualrespect,withoutanyimportunity,interferenceorcontrol.Betweenfriends,iftheyhavethesimilartasteandsuitabletemperamentwhentheygettogether,thentheywillgetalongwell,andmakefriendsforlong;iftheotherwayaround,theymayseparatefromeachother,andbreaktherelationship.Nomatterhowfamiliarorintimatewithoneanotherbetweenfriends,theycouldneverbetooover,withoutrespect.Orelse,thetacitunderstandingandthebalancewillbebroken,andthefriendshipwillnotbethereforever.Everybodywantstokeeptheirownprivacies,andiftoofree,itiseasytointrudetheforbiddenregion,thuscausingconflicts,creatingresistance.Treatingfriendswithoutappropriaterespect,whichmaybeasmallevent,butadestructiveresultcanbelainahead.Thebestwaytokeepintimatefriendshipiscontactingwithrestriction,withoutinterference.2.英译汉IthoughtthatitwasaSundaymorninginMay;thatitwasEasterSunday，andasyetveryearlyinthemorning.Iwasstanding，asitseemedtome，atthedoorofmyowncottage.Rightbeforemelaytheveryscenewhichcouldreallybecommandedfromthatsituation，butexalted,aswasusual，andsolemnizedbythepowerofdreams.Therewerethesamemountains，andthesamelovelyvalleyattheirfeet;butthemountainswereraisedtomorethanAlpineheight，andtherewasinterspacedfarlargerbetweenthemofsavannahsandforestlawns;thehedgeswererichwithwhiteroses;andnolivingcreaturewastobeseen,exceptingthatinthegreenchurchyardtherewerecattletranquillyreposingupontheverdantgraves，andparticularlyroundaboutthegraveofachildwhomIhadoncetenderlyloved，justasIhadreallyseenthem，alittlebeforesunrise，inthesamesummerwhenthatchilddied.我想那是五月一个周日早晨;那天是复活节，一个大清早上。我站在自家小屋门口。就在我面前展现出了那么一番景色，从我那个位置其实能够尽收眼底，可是梦里感觉往往如此，因为梦幻力量，这番景象显得超凡出尘，一派肃穆气象。群山形状相同，其山脚下都有着一样可爱山谷;不过群山挺然参天，高于阿尔卑斯峰，诸山相距空阔，丰草如茵，林地开阔，错落其间;树篱上白玫瑰娟娟弥望;远近看不见任何生物，唯有苍翠教堂庭院里，牛群静静地卧躺在那片郁郁葱葱墓地歇息，好几头围绕着一个小孩坟墓。我曾对她一腔柔情，那年夏天是在旭日东升前一刻，那孩子死去了，我如同当年那样望着牛群。专八翻译真题及答案1．英译汉We,thehumanspecies,areconfrontingaplanetaryemergency–athreattothesurvivalofourcivilizationthatisgatheringominousanddestructivepotentialevenaswegatherhere.Butthereishopefulnewsaswell:wehavetheabilitytosolvethiscrisisandavoidtheworst–thoughnotall–ofitsconsequences,ifweactboldly,decisivelyandquickly.However,despiteagrowingnumberofhonorableexceptions,toomanyoftheworld'sleadersarestillbestdescribedinthewordsWinstonChurchillappliedtothosewhoignoredAdolfHitler'sthreat:"Theygooninstrangeparadox,decidedonlytobeundecided,resolvedtobeirresolute,adamantfordrift,solidforfluidity,allpowerfultobeimpotent."Sotoday,wedumpedanother70milliontonsofglobal-warmingpollutionintothethinshellofatmospheresurroundingourplanet,asifitwereanopensewer.Andtomorrow,wewilldumpaslightlylargeramount,withthecumulativeconcentrationsnowtrappingmoreandmoreheatfromthesun.我们人类，正面临全球性危机，我们生存和文明受到威胁。尽管我们聚在一起共商对策，而灾难却在扩大，形式不容乐观。但也有令人欣喜消息：假如行动大胆果断，反应快速，我们有能力处理这场危机，防止其向最坏方向发展。不过，时下世界上许多国家领导人能够用当年温斯顿•丘吉尔批评欧洲诸政要无视阿道夫•希特勒名言来形容，“它们在奇怪悖论中前行，仅仅为一个决定而犹豫不决，有了决心却拖泥带水，信心犹疑不定，看法随波逐流，掌权者虚弱无力。”而如今我们向这个星球脆弱大气层倾倒超出七千万吨温室气体，把其看成天然排污口。明天我们还会变本加厉，堆积温室气体吸纳了越来越多太阳热度。2、汉译英手机改变了人与人之间关系。通常有注意到会议室门上通告，写着“关闭手机。”然而，会议室依然充满着铃声。我们都是普通人，没有很多主要事情。不过，我们也不愿轻易关闭手机。打开手机象征着我们与世界联络。手机反应出我们社交饥渴。我们经常看到，一个人走着走着，就突然停下来了，眼睛盯着他手机，不论他在那里，不论是在道路中心或旁边有厕所。Cellphonehasalteredhumanrelations.Thereisusuallyanoteonthedoorofconferenceroom,whichreads"closeyourhandset."However,theringsarestillresoundingintheroom.Weareallcommonpeopleandhasfewurgenciestodo.Still,wearereluctanttoturnoffthephone.Cellphonesymbolizesourconnectionwiththeworldandreflectsour"thirstforsocialization."Wearefamiliarwiththescenewhenapersonstopshisstepstoeditshortmessageswitheyesgluedathisphone,disregardofhislocation,whetherinroadcenterorbesiderestroom.我想不起来哪一个熟人没有手机。今天没有手机人是奇怪，这种人才需要解释。我们全部社会关系都储存在手机电话本里，能够随时调出使用。古代只有巫师才能拥有这种法宝。手机刷新了人与人关系。会议室门口通常贴着一条通告：请与会者关闭手机。可是会议室里手机铃声依然响成一片。我们都是普通人，并没有多少主要事情。尽管如此，我们也不会轻易关掉手机。打开手机象征我们与这个世界联络。手机反应出我们"社交饥渴症"。最为常见是，一个人走着走着突然停下来，眼睛盯着手机屏幕发短信。他不在意停在马路中央还是厕所旁边。为何对于手机来电和短信这么在意?因为我们迫切渴望与社会保持联络。Icannottellanyacquaintancewhodoesn’thaveacellphone.Itsoundsstrangethatsomeonedoesn’tgetacellphonenow.Peopleofthatkindneedstoexplaintoothers.Allofoursocialrelationsarestoredintheaddresslistofthecellphone,andtheyareavailableanytime.Itwassomethingthatonlycouldbemasteredbykoradjiinancienttimes.Cellphonerenewstherelationshipsamongpeople.Onthedooroftheconferenceroom,thereisoftenanote:pleaseturnoffyourcellphone.However,thereisalwaysringtonehereandthere.Weareallordinarypeople,withlittleanythingimportant.Nonetheless,wewillnoteasilyturnoffthecellphone.Turningonthecellphonemeanskeepingintouchwiththeworld.Cellphonereflectsourthirstforsocialization.Whatisthemostcommonissomeonestopssuddenlywhenheiswalking,lookingatthemobilescreenandshortmessaging.Hedoesn’tcarewhereheis,nomatterinthemiddleofthe

不怠于物不为物役为最主要人生哲学。Chinesepeoplehasneverthoughtofhumanbeingasthehighestcreatureamongeverythingsinceancienttimes,whosereflectiontakesaquiteappropriateproportionwithallothersinournaturalworldinbothaspectsofphilosophyandarts,butnotasanabsolutedominantruler.Therefore,ourbitternessanddepressionarebasicallylessthanthoseofwesterners,becausetheintensityofwhichisgrowingwiththeexpansionofone'sdesireandambition.Peopleintheagriculturesocietyenjoyedfarlessthanpeopleintheindustrysociety,thustheirwantsarefarlesseither.Besides,ancientChinesealwaysregard"notconfinedbymaterial,notdrivenbymaterial"asthemajorphilosophy.专八翻译真题及答案1．英译汉Itissimpleenoughtosaythatsincebookshaveclassesfiction,biography,poetry—weshouldseparatethemandtakefromeachwhatitisrightthateachshouldgiveus.Yetfewpeopleaskfrombookswhatbookscangiveus.Mostcommonlywecometobookswithblurred(含糊，不明确)anddividedminds(分心),askingoffictionthatitshallbetrue,ofpoetrythatitshallbefalse,ofbiographythatitshallbeflattering,ofhistorythatitshallenforceourownprejudices.Ifwecouldbanish(消除)allsuchpreconceptions(偏见、成见)whenweread,thatwouldbeanadmirable(绝妙、极好)beginning.Donotdictate(口述、发号施令)toyourauthor;trytobecomehim.Behisfellowworkerandaccomplice(同谋、合作者).Ifyouhangback(迟疑、犹豫不决),andreserve(保留、贮备)andcriticizeatfirst,youarepreventingyourselffromgettingthefullestpossiblevaluefromwhatyouread.Butifyouopenyourmindaswidelyaspossible,thensignsandhintsofalmostimperceptible(觉察不到)fineness(优良、出众),fromthetwistandturnofthefirstsentences(换行句子),willbringyouintothepresenceofahumanbeingunlikeanyother.Steep(沉醉、潜心、专心)yourselfinthis,acquaint(使熟知)yourselfwiththis,andsoonyouwillfindthatyourauthorisgivingyou,orattemptingtogiveyou,somethingfarmoredefinite.然而极少有些人愿意接收书上告诉我们东西。我们通常是带着一个不明确不专一目标去读书，我们要求小说是真实，诗歌应该是虚构，传记应该是奉承人，历史则应该是能加深我们自己偏见。假如我们读书时候能够屏弃这些成见，那将会是一个绝妙开端。不要试图对作者发号施令，而是要设身处地把作者思绪，把自己看成作者合作搭档。假如你开始就犹豫不决，不愿接收作者观点，甚至对作者观点评头论足，你就是给自己设置障碍，使自己不可能最大程度地利用书本。然而，假如你尽可能敞开心扉，那么文章开头就能给你一些暗示，由此一个与众不一样人物形象将跃然展现于你面前。2、汉译英一个人生命到底有多大意义，这有什么标准能够衡量吗?提出一个绝正确标准当然很困难;不过，大致上看一个人对待生命态度是否严厉认真，看他对待工作、生活态度怎样，也就不难对这个人存在意义做出适当估量了。古来一切有成就人，都很严厉地对待自己生命，当他活着一天，总要尽可能多工作、多学习，不愿虚度年华，不让时间白白浪费掉。我国历代劳感人民以及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。Whatisthesignificanceoflife?Isthereanycriterionforitsmeasurement?Difficultasitistoadvanceanabsoluteone,itwillnotbesotojudgetheverymeaningofone’sexistencegenerallyfromwhetherheisseriousaboutlifeandwhathisattitudesaretowardsworkandlife.Throughouttheages,allpeopleofaccomplishmenttaketheirlivesseriously.Aslongastheyarealive,theywouldratherdevotethemselvestomoreworkandstudythanletasingleminuteslipbyinvain.Andthesameistrueofthecommonlaborersaswellasthegreatstatesmenandthinkersinourcountry.专八翻译真题及答案1.英译汉Formethemostinterestingthingaboutasolitarylife,andminehasbeenthatforthelasttwentyyears,isthatitbecomesincreasinglyrewarding.WhenIcanwakeupandwatchthesunriseovertheocean,asIdomostdays,andknowthatIhaveanentiredayahead,uninterrupted,inwhichtowriteafewpages,takeawalkwithmydog,readandlistentomusic,Iamfloodedwithhappiness.I’mlonelyonlywhenIamovertired,whenIhaveworkedtoolongwithoutabreak,whenfromthetimebeingIfeelemptyandneedfillingup.AndIamlonelysometimeswhenIcomebackhomeafteralecturetrip,whenIhaveseenalotofpeopleandtalkedalot,andamfulltothebrim(边缘)withexperiencethatneedstobesortedout(挑选、选择).Thenforalittlewhilethehousefeelshugeandempty,andIwonderwheremyself(本性、本我)ishiding.Ithastoberecapturedslowlybywateringtheplantsandperhaps,bylookingagainateachone(指代plant植物)asthoughitwereaperson.Ittakesawhile,asIwatchthesurf(水浪)blowingupinfountains(喷泉),butthemoment(指thelonelymoment)comeswhentheworldsfallsaway,andtheselfemergesagainfromthedeepunconscious(潜意识),bringingbackallIhaverecentlyexperiencedtobeexploredandslowlyunderstood.只有我在非常疲劳时候，在我不停工作了很长时间以后，在我倍感空虚，需要充实时候，我才会感到寂寞。而有时候在我结束巡回演讲回家时候，在讲了很多话后，而且有太多经历需要整理时，我也会感到寂寞。于是，有那么一会儿，我感到房子又大又空，我都不知道我自我又到哪里去了。这时，我必须给植物浇水，并挨个瞅瞅，好像他们是有生命精灵通常，这么我才能慢慢找到我那个自我。很长一段时间，我看着水浪从喷泉中喷涌而出。但只有当世界在我身边逐步消失，当我再次从我内心深处无意识中冒出来时，带给我最近种种经历，让我探究，让我慢慢领会时，我才会感到寂寞。当我因为连续工作太久而感觉疲劳空虚，需要充实一下时候，我会以为孤独。有时，我出差做讲座，见很多人，说很多话，回来后脑子里很多东西需要理一理，这时我也会以为孤独。2、汉译英在人际关系问题上我们不要太浪漫主义。人是很有趣，往往在接触一个人时首先看到都是他或她优点。这一点颇像是在餐馆里用餐经验。开始吃头盘或冷碟时候，印象很好。吃头两个主菜时，也是赞不绝口。愈吃愈趋于冷静，吃完了这顿筵席，缺点就都找出来了。于是转喜为怒，转赞美为责备挑剔，转首肯为摇头。这是因为，第一，开始吃时候你正处于饥饿状态，而饿了吃糠甜加蜜，饱了吃蜜也不甜。第二，你初到一个餐馆，开始举筷时有新鲜感，新盖茅房三天香，这也能够叫做“陌生化效应”。Weshouldnotbetooromanticininterpersonalrelations.Humanbeingsareinterestinginthattheytendtofirstseegoodinanewacquaintance.Thisislikedininginarestaurant.Youwillbenotonlyfavorablyimpressedwiththefirsttwocourses.However,themoreyouhave,themoresoberyoubecomeuntilthedinnerendsupwithalltheflawsexposed.Consequently,yourjoywouldgivewaytoanger;yourpraisestocriticismorevenfault-finding;andyournoddinginagreementtoshakingthehead.Whataccountsforallthisis,inthefirstplace,youarehungrywhenyoustarttoeat.Asthesayinggoes,“Hungeristhebestsauce”,andviceversa.专八翻译真题及答案1．英译汉Inhisclassicnovel,“ThePioneers”,JamesFennimoreCooperhashishero,alanddeveloper,takehiscousinonatourofthecityheisbuilding.Hedescribesthebroadstreets,rowsofhouses,andateemingmetropolis.Buthiscousinlooksaroundbewildered.Allsheseesisafore
