II. Directions: Translate the following four source texts into their target language respectively. If the source text is in English, its target language is Chinese. If the source text is in Chinese, its target language is English. (120 points)Source Test 1 ( 30 points )Many people believe that they will be happy once they arrive at some specific goal they set for themselves. However, more often than not, once you arrive “there” you will still feel dissatisfied, and move your “there” vision to yet another point in the future. By always chasing after another “there,” you are never really appreciating what you already have right “here.” It is important for human beings to keep sober-minded about the age-old drive to look beyond the place where you now stand. On one hand, your life is enhanced by your dreams and aspirations. On the other hand, these drives can pull you farther and farther from your enjoyment of your life right now. By learning the lessons of gratitude and abundance, you can bring yourself closer to fulfilling the challenge of living in the present.(选自 “There” Is No Better th an “Here” 知足者常乐 mtizt.com注)
参考译文:一些人认为一旦他们实现给自己制定的某些具体目标,他们就会快乐。然而,你常常会发现,一旦你到达了“那里”,你仍然会感觉不满足,而且会将的你“那里”的视野移向未来的某一点。不断的追求一个又一个“那里”,你永远不能真正欣赏你已经在“这里”所拥有的一切。人类在面对“不满足现状”这个古老的驱动力时保持冷静的头脑很重要。一方面,你的生活通过你的梦想和渴望来提高。另一方面,这些驱动力使你越来越远离你现有的生活中的快乐。学会感激和满足,你会更加接近如何成功地完成“现时”生活中的挑战。
Source Text 2 ( 30 points )Once learning stops, vegetation sets in. It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge. On the contrary, learning should be a never-ending process, from the cradle to the grave. With the world ever changing so fast, the cease from learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind. What’s worse, the animalistic instinct dormant deep in our sub-consciousness will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideal, sapping our determination to sweep away ?obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character. Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization. Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.(选自《学习,一生的事业》 mtizt.com注)
参考译文:一旦学习停止,单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的惟一场所是种常见的谬误。相反地,从生到死,学习应该是一种无终止的历程。 由于世界变化得如此迅速,只要学习停顿数日就能使人落后。更糟的是,蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的兽性本能就会复活,削弱我们追求高尚理想的意志,弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心,而且扼杀我们净化我们人格的欲望。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心灵的停滞,甚至更糟,使其僵化。因此,为了保持心态年轻,我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
Source Text 3 ( 30 points )过去 50 年其实并不是发明创新的黄金时期。从 1900 年到 1950 年,改变人类 生活的发明有汽车、飞机、电话、收音机、电视机——当然还有核武器和计算机。 而近 50 年来,只有为数不多的发明。难道发明的源泉已经枯竭了吗?答案并非如 此。事实上,发明的新时代刚刚开始。(选自《发明创造》 mtizt.com注)
参考译文:Actually the last fifty years was not the golden age of invention and innovation. From 1900 to1950, human life was transformed by such invention as cars, aeroplanes,telephones, radios and television sets, not to mention nuclear weapons and thecomputer of course. In the recent 50 years since only a few inventions havebeen made, was the wellspring of invention drying up? Not likely. Indeed, a newage of invention is just beginning.
Source Text 4 ( 30 points )不同的篇章、体裁在直译与意译的趋向程度上往往有所不同。一般来说,文献 类和新闻报道的翻译多采用直译,因为翻译这类文献关键在于译文的准确性;而 对诗歌散文、戏剧电影、小说传记等以情动人的作品,翻译时应多采用意译,以 充分再现原文的意境情趣。(选自 英语四级翻译练习 mtizt.com注)
参考译文:Different discourses or styles tend to focus on different stresses so,to some extent,need different translating ways. Generally speaking,literal translation is preferable to free translation in translating literatures,for the crux of these literatures lies in accura-cy. On the other hand,free translation is more suitable than literal translation in translating some emotional works such as poetry,prose,drama,film,novels,autobiography,etc.,so as to reproduce the right mood and flavor of the original works.
