先来说点大家都知道的，学位英语翻译考试大纲要求：
能够在不借助词典的情况下把一般难度、非专业性题材的英文句子或短文译成汉语，译文通顺，用词基本准确，无重大语法错误。英译汉的速度应达到每小时250词以上。
考试题型：英译汉
本部分可以是一篇长度为120词左右英文单词的短文，要求考生翻译全文。也可以是一个较长的段落，要求考生翻译其中带有下划线的5个句子。要求译文意思准确，文字通顺。
本部分满分为15分，考试时间为25分钟。
一、题型分析
1. 本部分有两种考法：
① 设一篇长度为120词左右的英文短文，翻译全文。
② 设一篇短文，翻译其中带有下划线的5个句子。
2. 划线句子翻译同段落全文翻译的区别：
它需要考生认真读完全文，切不可不看全文径直开始翻译。因为很多情况下，句子只有放在上下文中，意义才能准确显现。翻译时要“瞻前顾后”，以求全文前后的意义统一和逻辑连贯，不可就事论事地只看划线句子而不及其余。
二、备考须知
任何一种考试，从根本上说都是知识水平的考查和发挥。一个只有3000左右词汇量的考生来考学士学位考试，任何所谓“策略”恐怕都不管用。只有刻苦钻研，提高水平才是正道。因此，对翻译的备考，最重要的是平时多读、多听、多用、多揣摩，从整体上提高英语的综合能力。
翻译—这里还仅仅是英译汉—需要理解精准，比阅读理解的要求更高。翻译中由于词义或语法理解错误而导致的表达错误比比皆是。例如：
Each plant and animal tends to produce farmore seeds, eggs, and young than is necessary to maintain its population.
“每一种动植物所产的种子、卵、或幼仔往往多于维持其本身数量的需要。”
英语单词很多是多义的，越是基本的单词越是如此，其具体意义和用法由语境决定，这要求考生不能仅满足于记住这些词语的一个意义。
三、解题要领
就解题要领来说，可归纳为两点：理解准确是前提，表达通顺是关键。
提高英译汉翻译能力非一日之功。考场上我们应该怎样应对呢？
首先考生应先通读英语原句，辨明语法关系，再结合句内上下文，推敲词义，理解原句所涉及的事物，然后按照汉语习惯从容自如地遣词造句，重述原句内容，最后通读译文，检查是否通顺，写字要工整，卷面要整洁，不要由于疏忽而在译文中出现错别字。
需要注意的是，由于考场上有时间限制，我们不必过分拘泥于文学翻译中的“信、达、雅”等标准花费时间来仔细推敲润色词句。在这一方面，文科的学生尤其要注意。按照考试大纲的要求，考场上只要能忠实、通顺地表达原文的意思，不歪曲篡改就算达到了目的。

Part IV Translation (15 points)

The introduction of the table fork into England in 1608 changed the English people’s way of eating. For instance, the use of forks made it possible for them to consume berries without making fingers dirty. 25 years later, the first table fork reached America. Talking of the use of forks, there are a few clear differences between what’s normal in America and what holds true in Britain. For example, in America, when food needs cutting with a knife, people generally cut a bite, then lay aside the knife and switch the fork to their right hand. The they pick up one bite at a time. By contrast, Britons keep the fork in the left hand and don’t lay the knife down.
参考译文：
1608年餐叉引入英国，改变了英国人吃饭的方式。例如，用叉子吃浆果时手指不会弄脏。25年后，叉子首次进入美国。说到用叉子，美国人和英国人有明显的不同。比如在美国，如果吃的东西需要切开，人们一般会先把它切成可以一口送进嘴里的小块，然后把餐刀放下，把叉子换到右手，再把切好的食物一叉一叉送进嘴里。而英国人则始终是左手握叉，并不放下餐刀。

Water is vital for our existence. Not only do we drink it for survival, the majority of the human body is also composed of water. The earth’s weather patterns are closely linked to water too, as they are determined by the complex patterns of changes and movement of water ion the atmosphere.
The ocean covers 70% of the earth’s surface. One of its most important roles is distributing the heat around the world: it absorbs energy in the form of heat, and releases it more evenly across the earth. Since the ocean is so effective at absorbing heat, the first few
meters of the ocean’s surface hold as much heat as the earth’s entire atmosphere.
参考译文：
水对我们的生命至关重要，不仅我们生存需要喝水，而且人体的绝大部分是由水组成的。地球气候变化也与水密切相关，因为水在大气中运动及变化的复杂模式决定了地球气候的状态。
海洋覆盖了地球表面的百分之七十，它最重要的作用之一是调节全世界热量的分布：海洋吸收了以热为形式的能量，并使其更均匀地分布于全球。由于海洋吸热的作用极大，仰面表层几米所储存的热量与地球整个大气层相当。

Part V Translation (15 points)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER Sheet.
Almost all of us grew up eating meat, going to zoos, and perhaps wearing leather. Many of us bought our beloved “pets” at pet shops or kept beautiful birds in cages. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved.
People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is “Yes!” Supporters of animal rights believe that animals have a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans. They believe that every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering. Animal rights is not just a philosophy—it is a social movement that challenges society’s traditional views that all animals exist solely for human use.
参考译文：
几乎我们所有人在生长过程中都会吃肉，逛动物园，或穿皮草/衣。许多人还从宠物店购买了心爱的“宠物”，或在笼中养几只漂亮的小鸟。我们从来不会考虑这些行为对上述动物有什么影响。
人们经常问：动物应该拥有权益吗？简单来说，答案是肯定的。动物权益支持者们认为，动物的价值与它对人类是否有用没有任何关联。他们认为每一种想要活着的生物，都有权在不受痛苦和折磨的情况下得以生存。动物权益不仅仅是一个哲学问题——它还是一场社会运动，其挑战了所有动物的存在只是为了对人类有用的这一传统观念。

Part V Translation (15 points)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER Sheet.
The most traditional definition of a human community was “a group of people larger than a family that interact.” A community may include people who have at least one common point of interest. In the past, community members lived relatively close to one another in one geographical location: in the same building, on the same street, in the same neighborhood or area, or in the same village, town, or city. Nowadays, however, the word community can mean a national, an international, or even an online group of interacting individuals. Therefore, a “new” definition of community might be “a group of people that recognize that they have something in common.”
参考译文：
有关“人类社区”最传统的定义是“大于家庭单位的互动的人类群体”。同一社区中的人至少会有一个共同的兴趣点。过去，社区成员们彼此间住得相对较近，处于同一地理位置上：住在同一建筑、同一条街、同一小区或地区，或者住在同一个村庄、小镇或城市。而现如今，社区一词可以指全国性的、国际性的，甚至可以指在线交流的群体。因此，社区的一个“新的”定义可以是“承认彼此间有共性的一群人。”

Part V Translation (15 points)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER Sheet.
Can online education ever be education of the very best sort? Not long ago I watched an online course. The instructor was intelligent and learned. But the course wasn’t great and could never have been. There were students on hand, but the class seemed addressed to no one in particular. There was nothing you could get from that course that you couldn’t get from a good book on the same subject.
A truly memorable college class is a co-operation between teacher and students. It’s a one-time-only event. Learning at its best is collective work. In real courses the students and teachers come together and create a vital atmosphere of learning. I don’t think an Internet course ever will.
参考译文：
网络教育能成为一种最好的教育方式吗？不久前，我观看了一堂网络课程。那位教师非常聪明而且博学。但是，这门课程不是很好，也永远不可能变得更好。课堂上有学生，但课堂的内容似乎并不特别针对任何一位学生。在这门课程中你能学到的任何东西都能从相同主题的一本好书中学到。
一个真正令人难忘的大学课堂是老师与学生之间的良好配合，它是一种单次性（无法复制）的互动教学。最好的学习方式就是合作学习。在实际课堂中，学生和老师一起合作，营造出适合学习的良好氛围。我认为网络课程永远也做不到这一点。
