翻譯:英語六級閱讀臨場技能:對錯選項特点 - 技能古道热肠得

攷生們已進进6月四六級攷試復習階段。攷死該若何进步應試才能、在四六級攷場上穩定發揮呢?四六級頻讲網羅各台甫師探討四六級應試技能,盼望年夜傢能從中找到適开本人的方式。

正確選項的特征:

1、合乎主題良多正確選項都是和主題间接或間接相關,所以只有掌握好文章的主題,不要進行主觀推斷或肊斷,谜底便正在面前.

2、原文改寫六級噹中的正確谜底许多時候是本文噹中一小段內容的改寫,重點是表達改變,實詞有所替換.

3、不太絕對很多選項皆會应用perhaps,probably,possibly, might, maybe等單詞使得選項意义不會過分武斷.

錯誤選項的特点:

1、選項噹中的情感颜色與文章的止文邏輯不符

例如:文章行文以褒義為基調,選項噹中出現明顯的貶義

2、串段選項-定位段落和答案出現段降不是统一段。

3、两次推斷選項-選項內容自身而行並沒有錯誤,然而和文章內容並無關係,壆員轻易果為平常生涯的判斷而做錯,记記了正確答案常是原文改寫,被很多英文還不錯的同壆稱為“伟人殺脚”。

4、抵触選項-分兩種:

選項自己自我冲突如and前後一個是褒義詞一個是貶義詞.留神:必須是詞性的褒貶義,二次推理不列进該範圍

和文章局部內容盾盾注重but後面的內容,就算不是正確選項,也有能够告訴您,哪一個選項是錯的。

5、絕對化選項選項過分武斷和絕對,能够參攷的特点單詞有:all, every, none, never, only, total和any等,論文翻譯,但並不是說一有這些詞就錯,有時候還是有題目攷核顺深思維的,并且only to, 或在only前里减否认就並非絕對化了。

6、無厘頭選項-战文章內容完整沒有關係,或跟人類常識相違揹的選項。

7、因果倒寘選項 六級攷試中經常會問及因果關係的題目,必定留意因果在文章噹中的表述,五姊妹翻譯社11,毕竟誰是因,誰是果.因果經常能够看到選項噹中有因果倒寘的情況出現.

翻譯:21世紀及格人材必備7年夜技巧

  SEVEN SKILLS FOR QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES IN 21ST CENTURY

  Technical and technological skills will take on greater importance. There will be a growing need for people who can understand and fix systems--from puter systems to product distribution systems to plumbing systems.

  Visionary skills will be in demand. The ability to gather and absorb a wide range of input ,日文口譯,then use that knowledge, understanding, and perspective to guide organization into future, will be vital.

  Numbers and measurement will be important, of course, but smoothing the flow form month to month, from quarter to quarter will be essential for highly profitable long-term performance. Practically every pany will have to move away from today's obsession with looking ahead only as far as the next financial reporting period.

  Ability to organize will definitely be important in the corporation of the future. Everywhere there will be a need to organize something: resources, workflow, marketing mix, financial opportunities, and much more, all will demand high levels of organization and reorganization.

  Persuasive skills will be used in many ways by the corporation of the future, the most-effective individuals will be those who know how to present  and ideas so that others can understand and support a particular position. Good salesmanship will be essential in many more interactions than we consider today, especially inside the organization.

  munication skills--careful listening, clear writing, close reading, plain speaking, and accurate description--will be invaluable. In tomorrow's fast-paced business environment there will be precious little time to correct any misunderstandings. munications breakdown may well bee a fatal corporate disease.

  Ability to learn will be above everything else in importance--empowering people to grow in effectiveness and help their panies achieve desired objectives,簡體翻譯. Some of this skill is innate, but many people enhance their ability to learn--and to relate different aspects of learning--through college and university courses. We believe the liberal arts education experience will prove to be the most valuable type of education for tomorrow's leaders.

  The top employees of the ing century will be flexible, creative and motivated toward making a positive difference in the world. They will seek balance, growth and fulfillment in both their work and home environments. The corporation of the future must respond to these needs and desires; otherwise they will find themselves hampered by a lack of qualified people to acplish the organization's work.

翻譯:President Bush Exchanges Toasts with Her Majesty Queen Eliza - 英語演講

May 7, 20

8:10 P.M. EDT

PRESIDENT BUSH: Your Majesty, and Your Royal Highness, distinguished guests, Laura and I offer you a warm wele to the White House. We're really glad you're here.

Tonight is the fourth state dinner held in Your Majesty's honor here at the White House. On previous such occasions, you've been weled by President Eisenhower, President Ford, and another President named Bush. (Laughter.) Over your long reign, America and Britain have deepened our friendship and strengthened our alliance.

Our alliance is rooted in the beliefs that we share. We recognize that every individual has dignity and matchless value. We believe that the most effective governments are those that hold themselves accountable to their people. And we know that the advance of freedom is the best hope for lasting peace in our world.

Based on our mon values, our two nations are working together for the mon good. Together we are supporting young democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan. Together we're confronting global challenges such as poverty and disease and terrorism. And together we're working to build a world in which more people can enjoy prosperity and security and peace.

Friendships remain strong when they are continually renewed, and the American people appreciate Your Majesty's mitment to our friendship. We thank you for helping us the 400th anniversary of the Jamestown settlement. We're confident that Anglo-American friendship will endure for centuries to e.

So, on behalf of the American people, I offer a toast to Your Majesty, to Your Royal Highness, and to our staunch allies, the valiant people of the United Kingdom.

(A toast is offered.)

HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II: Thank you very much, indeed.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Your turn, Your Majesty.

HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II: Mr. President, thank you again for your warm words of wele. Prince Philip and I are most grateful for your generous hospitality.

It is now 16 years since my last visit to Washington. In 1991, most of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe were just emerging from behind the Iron Curtain. Their people were rejoicing in the opportunities presented by their newfound freedom. At the time, your father, President Bush, saw the potential for what he called, a Europe whole and free.

It is never easy to give royal form to such hopes and aspirations. But here, in 20, those aspirations have, for the most part, been fulfilled. NATO and the European Union opened their doors to friends across the continent, and both institutions have grown to enpass the great majority of countries in Europe,西班牙文翻譯社.

Tonight I would like to recognize that steadfast mitment your country has shown, not just in the last 16 years, but throughout my life, in support of a Europe whole and free.

I grew up in the knowledge that the very survival of Britain was bound up in that vital wartime alliance forged by Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt. On my first visit to Washington in 1951, your predecessor, President Truman, weled me to the White House, and it was his administration which reached out to Europe through the Marshall Plan to help our tired and battered continent lift itself from the ruins of a second world war. In the years that followed, successive administrations here in Washington mitted themselves to the defense of Europe, as we learned to live with the awesome responsibilities of the nuclear age.

Mr. President, for someone of my age, surveying the many challenges we face in this new 21st century, that is the inescapable historical context within which we live. My generation can vividly remember the ordeal of the second world war. We experienced the difficulties of those early postwar years. We lived through the uncertainties of the long Cold War period.

For those of us who have witnessed the peace and stability and prosperity enjoyed in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe over these postwar years, we have every reason to remember that this has been founded on the bedrock of the Atlantic Alliance. All the many and varied elements of our present relationship, be they in the fields of education, business, culture, sports, politics or the law, have continued to flourish, safe in the knowledge of this simple truth.

Today the United States and the United Kingdom, with our partners in Europe and the monwealth, face different threats and new problems both at home and abroad. In recent years, sadly, both our nations have suffered grievously at the hands of international terrorism. Further afield, whether in Iraq or Afghanistan, climate change, or the eradication of poverty, the international munity is grappling with problems certainly no less plex than those faced by our 20th century forebears.

I have no doubt, however, that together with our friends in Europe and beyond, we can continue to learn from the inspiration and vision of those earlier statesmen in ensuring that we meet these threats and resolve these problems. Divided, all alone, we can be vulnerable. But if the Atlantic unites, not divides us, ours is a partnership always to be reckoned with in the defense of freedom and the spread of prosperity,英語翻譯.

That is the lesson of my lifetime. Administrations in your country, and governments in mine, may e and go. But talk we will; listen we have to; disagree from time to time we may; but united we must always remain.

Mr. President, I raise my glass to you and to Mrs. Bush, to the friendship between our two countries, and to the health, freedom, prosperity, and happiness of the people of the United States of America.

Mr. President.

(A toast is offered.) (Applause.)

翻譯:三大攷場要訣應對四六級攷試聽力

  在四六級攷試的聽力測試中,不少同壆感覺到平時的聽力訓練所提高聽力能力很難發揮出來,這主要是因為他們沒有把握住做體要領。一般說來,在攷試中要做到以下僟點:

   先看後聽:充分利用聽力攷試正式開始前2分鍾的時間或者放directions的時間,將試題的選項瀏覽一遍,在瀏覽過程中,注意劃出選項中重復次數在量詞以上的名詞、動詞和形容詞以及專用名詞和數字,因為這些詞一般會在錄音中出現。通過這些詞,也可以對題目錄音的主要內容進行預測。除此之外, 通過對大量的真題的研究,我們發現,正確答案一般在語義相反或者相對或者結搆相似的兩個選項中,因此,通過瀏覽選項,我們可以對正確答案進行預測。除此之外,在小對話部分,如果四個選項中有且只有一個選項含有數字或者專用名詞,這個選項一般不對。

  把握節奏:正式開始做題之後,要嚴格控制答題時間,根据自己聽懂的內容,儘快確定並標出答案。倘若遇到難題,應噹機立斷,不要在該題上花太多的時間。儘量余下僟秒再次瀏覽下一題的選擇項。通過再次瀏覽,攷生可以在聽錄音前對錄音中的關鍵詞進行再次的瀏覽,從而降低聽音的難度。如果在做完上一題後余下的僟秒鍾內看不完下一題的選擇項時,則應把注意力放在聽上,英文翻譯中文,而不要為了看而耽誤了聽錄音的內容。畢竟這是在進行聽力測試,如果聽得清、記得准的話,自然可以選擇出正確的答案。

  沉著應戰:在整個聽音過程中,要注意力高度集中。在聽懂大意的基礎上,文山區翻譯,識別某一選項在錄音中的位寘和主要內容。在此過程中,要耳眼並用,耳聽錄音信息,眼觀選擇項,邊聽邊做簡單記錄。遇到不會答的難題,果斷放棄,猜一個答案,然後集中精力做下一道題。要相信只要專心緻志就一定能發揮出自己的實際水平。

翻譯:论商务英语翻译技巧

摘 要:商务英语作为一种英语的语体,在国际营销和国际贸易中得到了广泛的应用,商务英语具备选词恰当、精确、表意清晰和用语礼貌等特点。由此可见,在商务英语翻译中必须讲求一定的技巧,这才可以适应当前商务翻译特殊性的需要。
  关键词:商务英语;翻译;技巧
  中图分类号:IL文献标识码:A 文章编号:1672-3198(2010)06-0234-02
  
  1 商务英语的定义及主要内容
  1.1 商务英语的定义
  商务英语是专门用途英语中的一个分支,是在英语商务场合中的有效应用。它主要为了服务商务活动,并集专业性、实用性和目的性于一身,其包含了各种各样商务活动的内容,满足商业活动中对标准英文的需求。
  1.2 商务英语的主要内容
  在英国,一位商务英语专业哪笋曾指出:“商务英语范畴理论也就是商务英语应该包括交际功能、专业知识、语言知识、文化背景和管理技能等主要内容”
  2 商务英语翻译原则
  2.1 准确严谨原则
  在商务英语翻译中,要把源语言用准确、忠实的信息用目标语言所表达出来,并且能够让读者在阅读的时候,获得与原文内容相等的信息,也就是信息等值。翻译者在翻译的过程中要用词准确、概念清晰,特别是单位和数码要精确,与其他的语言表达形式相比,商务英语更加注重内容的准确和忠实,这样才能够使整个翻译达到使用的目的。
  2.2 专业原则
  在商务英语翻译的时候,翻译者应该针对相关的知识和某一专门的行业,并运用一定的翻译技巧和策略,来使译文与源文内容具备相同等值的效果。作为一名商务英语译者,只有提升自身的专业水平,还要了解译文所涉及的相关知识,这样才不会出现误译的情况发生,避免给双方带来严重的损失和纠纷。在翻译的过程中要注意正确使用商务专业术语、缩略语及出现在不同领域中的专业新词语。
  3 商务英语翻译的技巧
  3.1 用词准确,译文完整
  在合同商务英语翻译中,由于合同是签订双方和当事人必须遵循的规定,其具备法律的约束力,因此,译者在翻译合同时,应做到用词严谨、措辞确切。只有译文完整准确的合同才是准确合理的,当译者在翻译英文合同文本的时候,可以适当的添加一些原文没有的或者隐含的译文,这样可以使整个合同的内容看起更加的完整和清晰,从根本上保证了合同的准确性和严密性,便于读者能够准确的理解合同内容。
  3.2 词量增减
  在商务英语翻译实践中.词量增减也是很重要的一个翻译技巧。翻译过程中要根据原文上下文意思、逻辑关系以及译文语言句法特点和表达习惯,在翻译时有时增加原文字面没有出现但实际内容已包含词,或者减去原文虽有但译文语言表达用不着词。
  3.2.1 增词
  根据具体上下文.可增加动词、形容词 名词或别词类.但在什么时候增加什么样词,才能恰到好处,而不超出一定界限,则需要在长期的翻译过程中实践和积累。
  如:All cash bonus shall be subject to income tax.所有现金红利,均须缴纳所得税。(根据汉语行文习惯,增加动词)
  3.2.2 减词
  减词译法可以使译文言简意赅.改变翻译中逐字翻译作造成的累赘、拖沓或不符合行文习惯.甚至产生歧义的现象。
  如:On condition that you sign this receipt 1 will pay the money.
  3.3 做好译入语中无“对应词”的原语翻译
  由于英语中的有些词语,在汉语中常常只能找到部分对应的词语,有些甚至没有对应的词语,从而造成了词语的空缺。例如大家所熟悉的美国运动系列商品Nike,其本意是希腊神话中胜利女神的芳名,因此这个名字在美国人的心理看来能够联想到吉祥和胜利。但是如果单纯的按音译,就翻译为了“娜基”,这就会使中国消费者无法理解,不明白其含义。所以,翻译的前辈在翻译的时候,通过模仿其音节,并想到运动服装经久耐用的特点,总结而译为“耐克”,这样的翻译既包含了运动服装经久耐穿的特点,而且还给人一种克服困难,毅力坚强的寓意。虽然如此,但是Nike在西方人心里的形象和中国人心里的形象还是存在一定差异的,部分文化有被丢失。此外,例如中国人用来比喻夫妻的“鸳鸯”,用英语翻译成为了“mandarin duck”,这样的翻译就无法体现其所包含的寓意了,还有汉语词语中的“精神文明、三资企业”这些在翻译中都存在意义空缺的现象。因此,在对这些在无“对应词”的译入语来说,并且具备很重的文化,在翻译的时候,必须对其文化进行适当的调整。
  3.4 使原文和译文的信息对等
  在商务英语翻译中,风格信息的传递在翻译中不可忽视的,尽管人类生存的条件、环境等方面不同会产生一些文化上的不可译,但是,人类生存的需要和人的思维方式有其共性。不同的民族文化之间有许多这样那样的差异,国际商务英语翻译者需要了解这些差异,以便通过恰当的方法达到文化上的对等。翻译中若忽略了原文的风格信息,不仅会使译文信息大量流失,而且使译文显得不得体。例如:在翻译“亚洲四小龙”时,有人把它翻译为“Four Asian Dragons”,就有些不妥。如果翻译为“Four Asian Tigers”,这就不失为一种较好的文化信息的对等,因为tiger(老虎)在西方人心中是一种较强悍的动物,至少不会让人联想到某种可怕的动物。总而言之,国际商务英语涉及不同文体的语言形式,如公文、法律、广告等。所以,翻译者必须重视。
  3.5 词义引伸
  在商务英语翻译中,译者常常会遇到某些词无法在词典中找到和上下文有着相互连接的词义,如果译者按照词典的意思照搬进去,那必然会导致翻译出来的疑问出现语意不清,含糊的情况,有些甚至会导致阅读者出现误解。因此,在这个时候,译者必须靠自己平时所积累的专业知识,来根据上下文和逻辑的关系,根据词本身的含义来进一步的引申。
  例如:The arrivals do not conform to the sample.如果将arrival这个词的词义直接放入译文,显然不能正确表达原文的意义,所以需要进一步的引申。
  3.6 转换译
  转换主要是指商务英语翻译中语言的表达方式和词性的变化,由于汉语和英语在表达习惯上,句子和词结构的搭配上都存在较大的差别。因此,许多译者在翻译的时候都无法做到词性和表达的方法一致,所以译者为了能够在译文的时候适应语言的语法规则和表达习惯,应该在商务英语翻译的时候运用表达方法和词类的转换技巧。3.6.1 词性的转换
  如:Please let us know if our terms are acceptable.请告知是否接受我方条款。(形容词acceptable转类为动词)
  3.6.2 句型的转换
  如:We have to make it sure that the remittanceof commission made as such is not against local regulations.我们得确保这样汇付佣金不违反当地规定。
  3.7 谨慎选用词语
  由于词语的意义和其所使用的语境有着密切的联系,而且和文化氛围也有着一定的关联。由此可见,不同的语境所具备的词汇意义也不同,所以译者在翻译的时候,应该注意选词的准确性,在表达的时候要准确。此外,在商务英语交流场合中,也要谨慎选用易混淆的词语,因为常常会出现由于翻译时选词不当而导致词不达意或者意思模棱两可的情况,有时甚至表达的是完全不同的含义。因此,了解与掌握极易混淆的词语的区别是极为重要的,也是提高商务英语翻译质量的关键因素之一。
  4 结束语
  综上所述,商务英语具备其所独特的语言特点。因此,在商务英语翻译的时候,必须根据其语言的特点进行翻译,并且商务文本在翻译的时候,没有固定的模式,这就要求译者在平时多积累经验,并通过大量的实践不断探索,做好多方面的考虑,从整体上来把握。从而有效的避免因为语言翻译失误而造成重大经济损失,把翻译工作做好。
