1、考研英语翻译技巧之英译汉汉英互译一直是考研英语中的难点,小编整理英译汉中常涉及的难点提出一些建议,并以实际案例进行解析,帮助大家掌握英译汉的翻译技巧,快速掌握英译汉,为考研成功进行最后的冲刺。难点1.多为长难句英译汉句子平均的单词量在30个左右,而且结构复杂,修饰成分多,考生很容易因没有理清句子结构而造成翻译得南辕北辙的现象。2.需要联系上下文来理解词义考研英语的英译汉是给你一篇文章,然后从中划出5个句子,因此就必须把词句的含义放到原文中来理解,切不可断章取义,有的词语翻译出来的意思与其本意可能会有不同,这正是英译汉要考察的要点之一。建议首先要拥有一定的单词量,背单词不能只知道其常用的意思,还
2、应知道其作为其它属性或者完全与本意看似不相关的其他含义,这样才能在联系上下文翻译的时候对单词的含义做到触类旁通;其次,要有对长难句的“免疫”能力,可以在做阅读题的时候,把典型的复杂长难句记下来,试着划分句子结构,做到熟能生巧。最后,平时可以多看一些英文文章,培养一下语感,有助于对句子含义的整体把握。真题解析Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.

3、NSWER SHEET(10 points)(2014年考研英语真题Part C)Music means different things to different people and sometimes even different things to the same person at different moments of his life. It might be poetic, philosophical, sensual, or mathematical, but in any case it must, in my view, have something to do wi
4、th the soul of the human being. Hence it is metaphysical; but the means of expression is purely and exclusively physical: sound. I believe it is precisely this permanent coexistence of metaphysical message through physical means that is the strength of music。(46)It is also the reason why when we try
5、 to describe music with words, all we can do is articulate our reactions to it, and not grasp music itself。Beethovens importance in music has been principally defined by the revolutionary nature of his compositions. He freed music from hitherto prevailing conventions of harmony and structure. Someti
6、mes I feel in his late works a will to break all signs of continuity. The music is abrupt and seemingly disconnected, as in the last piano sonata. In musical expression, he did not feel restrained by the weight of convention。(47)By all accounts he was a freethinking person, and a courageous one, and
7、 I find courage an essential quality for the understanding, let alone the performance, of his works。This courageous attitude in fact becomes a requirement for the performers of Beethovens music. His compositions demand the performer to show courage, for example in the use of dynamics。(48)Beethovens
8、habit of increasing the volume with an extreme intensity and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage was only rarely used by composers before him。Beethoven was a deeply political man in the broadest sense of the word. He was not interested in daily politics, but concerned with question
9、s of moral behavior and the larger questions of right and wrong affecting the entire society。(49)Especially significant was his view of freedom, which, for him, was associated with the rights and responsibilities of the individual: he advocated freedom of thought and of personal expression。Beethoven
10、s music tends to move from chaos to order as if order were an imperative of human existence. For him, order does not result from forgetting or ignoring the disorders that plague our existence; order is a necessary development, an improvement that may lead to the Greek ideal of spiritual elevation. I
11、t is not by chance that the Funeral March is not the last movement of the Eroica Symphony, but the second, so that suffering does not have the last word。(50)One could interpret much of the work of Beethoven by saying that suffering is inevitable, but the courage to fight it renders life worth living
12、。46. It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words, all we can do is articulate our reactions to it, and not grasp music itself。【主干识别】It is also the reason。【其他成分】why when we try to describe music with words, all we can do is articulate our reactions to it, and not grasp music it
13、self 定语从句when we try to describe music with words 定语从句中的状语从句all we can do is articulate our reactions to it, and not grasp music itself 定语从句的主句,在翻译的时候一定要注意在正确理解的基础上按照中文的表达习惯完成翻译。比如对于all we can 的翻译,由于前面已经把we翻译成“我们”了,所以这里就不需要再翻译“我们”了。可以直接翻译为:只能our reactions to it 可以直接翻译为“我们对于音乐的反应”,也可以翻译为“我们的感受”。【词汇突破
14、】articulate 清楚地表达grasp 理解【参考译文】这也是为什么我们用语言描述音乐时,只能清楚地表达出自己的感受,却不能理解音乐本身。47. By all accounts he was a freethinking person, and a courageous one, and I find courage an essential quality for the understanding, let alone the performance, of his works。【主干识别】I find【其他成分】宾语从句之一:He was a freethinking person
15、 and courageous person。宾语从句之二:Courage is an essential quality for the understanding and the performance of his works。这两个句子相对比较简单,只是需要理解一些插入语的层次;a freethinking person, and a courageous one 第一个句子主干的插入语the understanding of his works,the performance of his works第二个句子主干的插入语在翻译技巧上注意名词和动词间的相互转化:理解他的作品,演奏他的
16、作品【词汇突破】by all accounts 从各个方面来说【参考译文】我认为从各个方面来说,他都是个思想自由的勇者。而且我认为理解他的作品必须具备勇敢这一品质,演奏他的作品就更是如此。48. Beethovens habit of increasing the volume with an extreme intensity and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage was only rarely used by composers before him。【主干识别】Beethovens habit was only
17、 rarely used。【其他成分】of increasing the volume with an extreme intensity and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage 作habit 的定语这是本句的难点。我们一直强调,在英文向中文转化的过程中,一定要将过长的成分单独成句,这样符合中文的习惯,同时,名词和动词的相互转化也是与之相伴的技巧。这里habit和with就可以翻译为:“习惯用”这样一个中文的句子就出现了:贝多芬习惯用强烈的渐强来增大音量。再翻译后半部分:abruptly following it wi
18、th a sudden soft passage,此处following也翻译为动词。(这)was only rarely used by composers before him。用一个伟大的代词“这”来代替之前的主语部分,接着再翻译后半部分就很容易了。【词汇突破】volume 音量passage (音乐作品的)段落【参考译文】贝多芬习惯用强烈的渐强来增大音量,然后突然紧接舒缓的曲段,这是之前的作曲家极少使用的手法。49.Especially significant was his view of freedom, which, for him, was associated with th
19、e rights and responsibilities of the individual: he advocated freedom of thought and of personal expression。【主干识别】Especially significant was his view of freedom。这个是一个完全倒装的句子,正常的语序应该是:his view of freedom was especially significant。【其他成分】which(指代自由),for him, was associated with the rights and responsi
20、bilities of the individual 定语从句(可以单独成句)he advocated freedom of thought and of personal expression 冒号引导的一个句子,在翻译中依然可以单独成句。【词汇突破】advocate 提倡【参考译文】他对于自由的看法尤其重要,他认为自由与个人的权利和义务相关,他提倡思想和表达自由。50.One could interpret much of the work of Beethoven by saying that suffering is inevitable, but the courage to fig
21、ht it renders life worth living。【主干识别】One could interpret much of the work of Beethoven。【其他成分】by saying that suffering is inevitable 状语but the courage to fight it renders life worth living 状语中的宾语从句,单独成句即可。courage to fight 可以翻译为:勇于抗争,也可以翻译为:抗争的勇气。renders life worth living 可以翻译为:使人生值得活下去,也可以翻译为:赋予生命以意
22、义。【词汇突破】interpret 对(书面或口头材料)释义,解释(作者,说话人)的意思render 使【参考译文】人们也许可以将贝多芬的大多数作品解释成:苦难在所难免,但勇于抗争赋予生命以意义。以上为小编为大家整理的2015考研英语冲刺中如何快速搞定英译汉的全部内容,希望大家好好学习,完梦考研关于凯程:凯程考研成立于2005年,国内首家全日制集训机构考研,一直致力于高端全日制辅导,由李海洋教授、张鑫教授、卢营教授、王洋教授、杨武金教授、张释然教授、索玉柱教授、方浩教授等一批高级考研教研队伍组成,为学员全程高质量授课、答疑、测试、督导、报考指导、方法指导、联系导师、复试等全方位的考研服务。凯程考研的宗旨:让学习成为一种习惯凯程考研的价值观口号:凯旋归来,前程万里信念:让每个学员都有好最好的归宿使命:完善全新的教育模式,做中国最专业的考研辅导机构激情:永不言弃,乐观向上敬业:以专业的态度做非凡的事业平衡:找到工作、生活、家庭的平衡点服务:以学员的前途为已任,为学员提供高效、专业的服务,团队合作,为学员服务,为学员引路。
