英语四级考试翻译题解题技巧

2012年英语四级考试翻译题解题技巧(1)

解题方法：
第一步：首先快速浏览句子，先看英语不看汉语，从而判断划线处所填句子的形式、时
态

所谓形式包括：

1词组固定搭配(不定式短语、分词短语、动名词、句子等)

2.虚拟

3.被动

所谓时态是指：根据前后已经给出的英语句子判断所填英语句子的时态。

第二步：看括号里面的汉语句子，以核心谓语动词为切入点，找准主谓宾、分清定状补。

第三步：先翻译主谓宾、后翻译定状补，切块对应翻译，重新组合。动词注意时态，名
词注意单复数。

真题详解：2006.12

lists in intercultural studies say that it is not easy to (适应不同文化中的生
活).[ 06.12]

[解题步骤]:

第一步：由it is not easy to可以推出，划线处应该接动词原形。

第二步：划分成分“适应不同文化的生活”

核心谓语动词是“适应”，“不同文化的”作定语，“生活”作宾语。

第三步：

1.切块对应翻译：“适应”=adapt; adapt to; adapt oneself to;“生活”=life;“不同文化的”
=different cultures

2.重新组合：adapt oneself to the life in different cultures

[正确答案]：adapt oneself to the lifeliving in different cultures

[翻 译]：跨文化研究专家说，适应不同文化的生活不是一件容易的事情。

[考察知识点]：[词组固定搭配]adapt oneself to sthdoing sth“适应------”
真题详解：2006.12
my childhood I have found that (没有什么比读书对我更有吸引力).
[解题步骤]:
第一步：由Since my childhood I have found that可以推出，划线处应该填写一个句子，
时态需要根据后面的汉语意思作进一步的确定。
第二步：划分成分“没有什么比读书对我更有吸引力”
核心谓语动词是“比 ------更有吸引力”， “没有什么”作主语，“读书”作宾语，“对我”作
状语。
第三步：
1.切块对应翻译：“比------更有吸引力”= be more attractive to sb，“没有什么”=nothing，
“读书”=reading，“对我”=forto me。
2.重新组合：nothing is more attractive to me than reading
[正确答案]：nothing is more attractive to me than reading
[翻 译]：从儿时起我就发现，没有什么比读书对我更有吸引力。
[考察知识点]：[比较级]no thing+比较级=最高级;时态：因为从句叙述的是现在的事情，
所以用一般现在是即可。
