2017考研英語翻譯模擬試題及解析
以下是小編整理的2017考研英語試題，歡迎大家前來查看。
Is it true that the American intellectual is rejected and considered of no account in his society? I am going to suggest that it is not true. Father Bruckbergen told part of the story when he observed that it is the intellectuals who have rejected America. But they have done that. They have grown dissatisfied with the role of intellectual. It is they, not America, who have become anti-intellectual.
First, the object of our study pleads for definition. What is an intellectual? (46) I shall define him as an individual who has elected as his primary duty and pleasure in life the activity of thinking in Socratic(蘇格拉底) way about moral problems. He explores such problem consciously, articulately, and frankly, first by asking factual questions, then by asking moral questions, finally by suggesting action which seems appropriate in the light of the factual and moral information which he has obtained. (47) His function is analogous to that of a judge, who must accept the obligation of revealing in as obvious a matter as possible the course of reasoning which led him to his decision.
This definition excludes many individuals usually referred to as intellectuals—the average scientist for one. (48) I have excluded him because, while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems, he has not been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems. Like other human beings, he encounters moral issues even in everyday performance of his routine duties—he is not supposed to cook his experiments, manufacture evidence, or doctor his reports. (49) But his primary task is not to think about the moral code, which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business. During most of his walking life he will take his code for granted, as the businessman takes his ethics.
The definition also excludes the majority of teachers, despite the fact that teaching has traditionally been the method whereby many intellectuals earn their living. (50) They may teach very well, and more than earn their salaries, but most of them make little or no independent reflections on human problems which involve moral judgment. This description even fits the majority eminent scholars. Being learned in some branch of human knowledge is one thing; living in “public and industrious thoughts,” as Emerson would say, is something else.

考研英語翻譯丟分的原因
1.長難句結構劃分不清晰
劃分英語長難句結構，是理解英語句子含義的基礎。許多同學反映，一看到長句就恐慌;再加上幾個不認識的單詞，根本無從下手，不知道原文在表達什么，所以只能認識幾個單詞就翻譯幾個單詞，寫出的譯文自己都不知所云。事實上，要成功翻譯一篇英文文章，既要對英語原文理解正確無誤，又要把漢語表達得流暢通順。但在這兩者中，正確理解原文既是起點也是關鍵。而要做到正確理解原文，就需要有扎實的英語語言基礎，特別是英語句型結構知識和正確分析英語句子結構的能力。
2.邏輯關系梳理不明確
在正確理解原文句子結構的基礎上，如果局限于原文的句子結構，沒有真正弄懂各句之間的邏輯關系，也會造成誤譯。這是因為，英語中的許多連接詞本身就有不同的含義，比如 as ，既可以引導原因狀語從句，也可以引導時間狀語從句和定語從句，還能和其他詞構成新的引導詞和短語等;而且某些連接詞引導的從句的表面邏輯關系與實際邏輯關系并不相同，比如所有的定語從句看起來都是作定語，但實際上有時卻從原因、結果、目的或條件等方面對被修飾詞加以限定，所以為了更確切地表達這種邏輯關系，往往將一些定語從句譯成相應的狀語從句。另外，在正義反說或反義正說方面，還有對狀語是修飾限定動詞還是整句話，某些詞語是作狀語還是作定語，或者是否存在否定轉移的理解等，都可能造成邏輯關系的誤譯。
3.詞意把握不到位
一位語言學家曾經說過：“在新的上下文里使用的每一個詞都是新詞。”英語中普遍存在一些一詞多義、一詞多類的現象，除了一些專有名詞之外，幾乎沒有絕對等值的詞語。正是詞的這種多義性和變義性，決定了對英語詞義的理解及其漢語表達是英譯漢的難點所在。所以，對于英譯漢中每個詞語的翻譯都需要仔細斟酌，不可輕易憑經驗而譯。因此，在翻譯一個詞時，看到的絕不應該僅僅是這個詞本身，必須充分考慮它在上下文中所處的地位以及與其他詞的搭配關系，孤立的譯詞是下下之策。
4.文化背景知識不熟悉
語言與文化是密不可分的孿生體，沒有不受文化影響的語言，也沒有不用語言傳播的文化。無論是在英譯漢還是漢譯英的實踐中，無論是在日常交往還是正式場合，由于缺乏對英美文化的了解而造成的誤譯比比皆是，常常會鬧出笑話，甚至因此造成一些不必要的矛盾和損失。
