2011专八翻译真题参考答案(爱思网友版)现代社会充满了矛盾,从价值观的持有到生活方式的选择,而最让人感到尴尬的是,当面对重重矛盾,许多时候你却别无选择。匆忙与休闲是截然不同的两种生活方式,也可以说是两种生活态度,但在现实生活中,人们却在这两种生活方式与态度间频繁穿梭,有时也说不清自己到底是‘休闲着’还是‘匆忙着’。譬如说,当我们正在旅游胜地享受假期,却忽然接到老板的电话,告知客户或工作方面出了麻烦---现代便捷先进的通讯工具在此刻显示出了它狰狞、阴郁的面容---搞得人一下子兴趣全无,接下来的休闲只能徒有其表,因为心里已是火烧火燎了。Beinghastyandatleisurearetwoquitedistinctlifestyles.Butintherealworld,peoplehavetofrequentlyshuttlebetweenthesetwolifestyles,sometimesnotsurewhethertheyare“atease”or“inarush”.Forexample,weareenjoyingourholidaysintheresortwhilesuenlywereceivephonecallsfromthebosswhotellsustherearesometroubleswithourcustomersandwork----soatthismomentthemodern,convenientandadvanceddeviceshowsitsviciousandgloomyfeatures---andweloseallourinterest.Thesubsequentleisureisthemereshowyforweareinarestlessandanxiousstateofmind.(英译汉)WhenflyingoverNepal,it'seasytosoarinyourimaginationandpretendyou'retiny-abutterfly-anddriftingaboveoneofthosethree-dimensionaltopographicalmapsarchitectsuse,thecirclingcontourlinesreplacedbytheterracedricepaddiesthatsurroundeachhighridge.Nepailsasmallcountry,andfromthewindowsofourplanefloatingeastwardat12,000feet,onecanseeclearlythebrilliantwhitemirageofthehighHimalayasthirtymilesoftheleftwindow.Outtherightwindow,theviewisofthreeorfourhighterracedridgesgivingsuddenwaytotheplainsofIndiabeyond.Threewerefewroadsvisiblebelow,mosttransportationinNepalbeingbyfootalongancienttrailsthatconnectandbindthecountrytogether.Thereisalsoanetworkofdirtairstrips,whichwasfortunateforme,asIhadnotimeforthetwo-and-a-halfweektrektomydestination.Iwasnoaflighttothelocalairport.飞机飞越尼泊尔上空时。你很容易天马行空起来,假想自己很渺小----像只蝴蝶----在建筑师所使用的某个三维地形图上方漂浮着,在这里,地形图一圈圈的轮廓线变成了环绕高耸的山脊成阶梯状的稻田。尼泊尔是个小国。我们的飞机在12000英尺的高空向东飞去。从左边的机窗望去,你能清晰地看到30英里开外的高耸的喜马拉雅山的耀眼的白色蜃景。靠右边的机窗外是三、四条成梯状的高耸山脊,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。尼泊尔的交通方式以步行为主,人们沿着连接整个国家的古老小径行走着。尼泊尔也有一个土筑的飞机场网络,这对我来说很幸运,因为我没时间长途跋涉两周半的时间到达我的目的地。我在飞往当地机场的飞机上。2010年英语专业八级考试--翻译部分(附参考译文)朋友关系的存续是以相互尊重为前提的,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的私密空间,朋友之间过于随便,就容易侵入这片禁区,从而引起冲突,造成隔阂。待友不敬,或许只是一件小事,却可能已埋下了破坏性的种子。维持朋友亲密关系的最好办法是往来有节,互不干涉。Friendstendtobecomemoreintimatediftheyhavethesameinterestsandtemper,theycangetalongwellandkeepcontacting;otherwisetheywillseparateandendtherelationship.Friendswhoaremorefamiliarandclosercannotbetoocasualandshownorespect.Otherwisetheharmonyandbalancewillbebroken,andthefriendshipwillalsobenonexistentanymore.Everyonehopestohavehisownprivatespace,andiftoocasualamongfriends,itiseasytoinvadethispieceofrestrictedareas,whichwillleadtotheconflict,resultinginalienation.Itmaybeasmallmattertoberudetofriends;however,itislikelytoplantthedevastatingseeds.Thebestwaytokeepthecloserelationshipbetweenfriendsistokeepcontactswithrestraint,anddonotbothereachother.E-C原文:IthoughtthatitwasaSundaymorninginMay;thatitwasEasterSunday,andasyetveryearlyinthemorning.Iwasstandingatthedoorofmyowncottage.Rightbeforemelaytheveryscenewhichcouldreallybecommandedfromthatsituation,butexalted,aswasusual,andsolemnizedbythepowerofdreams.Therewerethesamemountains,andthesamelovelyvalleyattheirfeet;butthemountainswereraisedtomorethanAlpineheight,andtherewasinterspacefarlargerbetweenthemofmeadowsandforestlawns;thehedgeswererichwithwhiteroses;andnolivingcreaturewastobeseenexceptthatinthegreenchurchyardtherewerecattletranquillyreposinguponthegraves,andparticularlyroundaboutthegraveofachildwhomIhadoncetenderlyloved,justasIhadreallyseenthem,alittlebeforesunriseinthesamesummer,whenthatchilddied.我想那是五月的一个周日的早晨;那天是复活节,一个大清早上。我站在自家小屋的门口。就在我的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,可是梦里的感觉往往如此,由于梦幻的力量,这番景象显得超凡出尘,一派肃穆气象。群山形状相同,其山脚下都有着同样可爱的山谷;不过群山挺然参天,高于阿尔卑斯峰,诸山相距空旷,丰草如茵,林地开阔,错落其间;树篱上的白玫瑰娟娟弥望;远近看不见任何生物,唯有苍翠的教堂庭院里,牛群静静地卧躺在那片郁郁葱葱的墓地歇息,好几头围绕着一个小孩的坟墓。我曾对她一腔柔情,那年夏天是在旭日东升的前一刻,那孩子死去了,我如同当年那样望着牛群。2009年英语专业八级考试--翻译部分(附参考译文)我想不起来哪一个熟人没有手机。今天没有手机的人是奇怪的,这种人才需要解释。我们的所有社会关系都储存在手机的电话本里,可以随时调出使用。古代只有巫师才能拥有这种法宝。手机刷新了人与人的关系。会议室门口通常贴着一条通告:请与会者关闭手机。可是会议室里的手机铃声仍然响成一片。我们都是普通人,并没有多少重要的事情。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的联系。手机反映出我们的社交饥渴症。最为常见的是,一个人走着走着突然停下来,眼睛盯着手机屏幕发短信。他不在乎停在马路中央还是厕所旁边。为什么对于手机来电和短信这么在乎?因为我们迫切渴望与社会保持联系。Cellphonehasaltered/renovatedhumanrelations/relationships.Thereisusuallyanoteonthedoorofconferenceroom,whichreads“closeyourhandset/cellphone.”However,theringsarestillresoundingintheroom.Weareallcommonpeopleandhavefewurgenciestodo.Still,wearereluctanttoturnoffthephone.Cellphonesymbolizesourconnectionwiththeworldandreflectsour“thirstforsocialization.”Wearefamiliarwiththescenethatapersonstopshisstepstoeditshortmessageswitheyesgluedathisphone,regardlessofhislocation,whetherinroadcenterorbesiderestroom.注:中文作者:张帆标题:《我们生活在机器中》为上海艺术人文频道《世说新语》栏目所作的演讲稿E-C原文:We,thehumanspecies,areconfrontingaplanetaryemergency-athreattothesurvivalofourcivilizationthatisgatheringominousanddestructivepotentialevenaswegatherhere.Butthereishopefulnewsaswell:wehavetheabilitytosolvethiscrisisandavoidtheworst-thoughnotall-ofitsconsequences,ifweactboldly,decisivelyandquickly.However,toomanyoftheworld'sleadersarestillbestdescribedinthewordsofWinstonChurchillappliedtothosewhoignoredAd
