2017高级翻译资格考试笔译模拟真题及答案
第一题：
1. And everywhere in his neighborhood in Serekunda, Gambia’s largest city, there was talk of easy money to be made in Europe.
然而，在冈比亚最大的城市塞莱昆达他所居住的地方，人们到处都在谈论着“欧洲赚钱容易”这个话题。
点评：
该句的重点在于词性的转换译法：关键词---talk
如果将该词译成汉语的名词，一是听起来很蹩脚，不符合汉英行文的习惯，二是不符合英译汉技法的要求。这一点在我们讲授英译汉部分时曾经重点谈到一个例句：
The woman’s extramarital affairs with her boss soon became talk of the town.
这个女人与其老板的关系很快传遍全城。或，大街小巷都在谈论着这个女人与其老板的风流韵事。
2. Most of them have stories that echo Mr. Jallow’s.
他们中的大多数都有着与杰罗先生相似的经历。
点评：
该句中定语从句的动词“echo”是关键词。原意为“回声”“回响”，但在本句中要在上下文的语义基础上引申为“与。。。相似”的含义。我们在授课过程中曾讲过，英语国家的写作思路是：首尾呼应法，即：The first paragraph echoes the last paragraph.
3. “There is everything in there,” said Diego Ca?amero, the leader of the farm workers’ union in Andalusia, which tries to advocate for the men.
“那里要什么有什么,”安达卢西亚农场工人工会的领袖迭戈·卡纳梅洛说,该组织努力在为这些人争取生活的权利，
点评：
该句中的“advocate”原意为“拥护”“倡议”，但在此句中应该根据前文正确理解为“为。。。争取权利”。 我们曾讲过这样一个例句：We must advocate for the poor and powerless.我们必须为那些贫穷以及无权无势的人争取权利。
4. Now he shakes his head toward his neighbors, who will not talk to reporters.
此时，他朝他的邻居们摇了摇头，他并不想与记者交谈。
点评：
这句话中的定语从句是非限定性的，它的功能是修饰前边句子中的主语“he”，而不是“his neighbors”。我们在英译汉分句译法中给了大量的例句重点讲解定于从句的译法。当时我们曾讲到很多类似的例句，如：The woman has two sons who are working in the United States. The woman has two sons, who are working in the United States.这两句乍一看，似乎完全相同，但仔细推敲，你会发现：第一个句子是限定性定语从句，第二个句子是非限定性定语从句。第一句应译为：这名妇女有两个在美国工作的儿子。(言外之意，他可能还有其他子女)，第二句应译为：这名妇女有两个儿子，都在美国工作。(只有两个儿子)。非限定性定语从句的作用可以修饰前边句子中的某一个名词或代词，也可能修饰靠它很近的名词，一切取决于上下文的含义。
5. But Mr. Ca?amero says they are offered only the least desirable work, like handling pesticides, and little of it at that.
但卡纳梅洛说，那里的人只给他们提供人家最不愿意干的工作,如处理杀虫剂,而且也只是一点点活儿而已。大多数人没有工作签证。
点评：
该句中一个可能不被考生注意的环节就是“at that”这个短语。它在句子中的位置一般是句尾，但语气较弱。我们授课时给学员提供了多种并列及转折的连词用法，其中包括：and, besides, moreover, furthermore, what’s more, additionally, in addition, …at that等。
第二题：
In appreciation of the snow scene he suddenly caught sight of the bent cypress, lie grumbled to himself. "The gardeners were indeed very negligent. They didn't even come out to patrol the campus in such a heavy snow as last night's. They should he held partially responsible for the ruin of the harmonious beauty of nature." The amateur artist was staring at the bent cypress when inspiration flashed into his mind. He quickly opened his sketch book and drew an outline of the cypress with his charcoal pen. He planned to develop the sketch into a cartoon, when he got back to the dormitory. He had even figured out a title for it, "A Cypress Complains.” He left with a sigh of sympathy for the bent tree and a flicker o# disappointment in his eyes.
In the dim sunlight, a young worker, with a worst bag on his shoulder, was hurrying to the Chinese Department to audit a selective course. All of a sudden a gust of wind blew over the bent cypress, shaking the overlaying snowflakes down onto the young man's head and shoulders. He looked up and noticed the tree. Then he slowed his steps, took a glance at his watch and hurried away.
In a short while, he came back with a spade, an old bamboo stick and a piece of rubber hand. He worked with his deft hands on the bent cypress, until it was straight again. The bell for class was ringing and he dashed to the classroom.
Silence reigned. Faint bluish footprints, of all shapes and sizes, farmed in the snow lines of illegible words with subtle implications. That cypress was quietly gazing at the snow, as if meditating on the mystery of beauty.
参考译文
他在欣赏雪景之余，猛然发现倾斜的龙柏，不满地轻声嘀咕：“搞环境保护的同志真马虎，昨晚下那么大的雪，竟没来校园巡视，他们对美的统一性的被破坏负有间接的责任!”这位美术爱好者凝视片刻，灵感的火花映亮心窗，他立刻打开速写本，涅着炭精棒，勾勒这棵龙柏的体态轮廓，准备回宿舍精心画一幅漫画，连画名也想好了，就叫做：《一株龙柏的控诉》。他离去时遗憾地摇头叹息，眼波里颤动着一丝失望的情绪。
微弱的阳光下，急匆匆地走来一个肩挎旧书包的青年工人，他是来旁听中文系选修课的。突然，一阵风吹拂龙柏树，扬起无数雪沫，洒在他头上、身上。青年工人仰脸看看那株龙柏.脚步放慢了，他一看手表立刻加快步伐走去。
一会，他带来一把铁锹、一截旧茅竹、橡皮带，手脚麻利地不停地劳作，那株倾斜的龙柏终于挺直了脊梁，牢牢地屹立在校园。
上课铃声响了。他疾步如飞地向教室奔去!
静谧。点点不同的浅蓝色脚印留在雪地里，组合成一行行无人辨识的文字，蕴藏着精致微妙的内涵。那株龙柏静静注视着面前的雪地，仿佛苦心思索关于美的神秘的定义。
