大学英语六级考试在2014年6月14日下午已经结束,周思成老师与长沙新东方第一时间为大家提供英语六级翻译题之土豪与大妈题材的考点解析及参考译文,供大家参考。
翻译一:
中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化,有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。例如,土豪和大妈都是老词,但已获取了新的意义。
土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主,现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人,也就是说,土豪有钱,但是没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼,但是现在特指不久前金价大跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。
土豪和大妈可能会被收入新版的牛津(OXford)英语词典,至今约有120中文加进了牛津英语词典,成了英语语言的一部分。
The Chinese heated wordsusually reflect social changes and culture, some of which areincreasingly popular with foreign media. Tuhao and dama, forexample, are both old words, but they get different meaningsnow。
The word tuhao used to meanrural landlords who oppress their tenants andservants, while now it refers to people spending money withoutlimits or those showing off all around. That is to say, tuhaoowns money rather than taste. The word dama isused to describe middle-aged women. However, it is regarded as aspecial word to call those Chinese women whorushed to purchase gold when the gold price decreased sharply notlong ago。
Tuhao and dama may be includedin the new Oxford dictionary. Up to now, about 120 Chinese wordshave been added to it, becoming a part of Englishlanguage。
