  Part Ⅰ Writing (30 minutes)

  整体评述:

  今年的写作题目总体较为简单,试题沿袭2017年12月考的开放式题型,题意理解上没有设置障碍,直接在题干中出现了主题词,一套为阅读的重要性,一套为语言表达能力,一套为写作能力。这些话题都是和大学生平时生活学习息息相关的话题,所以很容易发散思路。三篇写作考查学生对正面现象/话题的分析能力。其实这次的考题在近十年的写作考题中是有迹可循的,2013年6月考的图画作文第二套就考查到了阅读文学的重要性。此外,有了2017年12月刚考过的考题基础,谈论措施的话术考生也不陌生,总的来说,本次写作难度不大,第一段点出主题,说明主题词的重要性,第二段分析原因,为什么重要,第三段写建议措施,如何培养这些能力,按照总分总的三段式展开即可。

  第一套

  Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the importance of reading ability and how to develop it。 You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words。

  College life opens a new chapter for students。 As we enter the new stage, it is impossible for us to ignore some basic abilities needed in college。 Reading ability, from where I stand, is the most significant one among them。

  Why, you may wonder, should we attach great importance to reading ability? For one thing, in order to make outstanding achievements in the field of our study, students have to read hosts of books, papers and documents related to professional knowledge。 For this reason, extensive and efficient reading becomes particularly important。 For another, reading broadens our horizon and enriches our campus life, which will exert profound influence on our future。 Therefore, we, especially youngsters, cannot emphasize reading ability too much。

  Since reading ability plays a pivotal role in our daily life, it is high time that colleges should provide students with relative courses to enhance their reading skills。 Meanwhile, it is imperative that we actively pay frequent visit to the libraries or bookstores to cultivate our reading competence。 As Francis Bacon once said, reading makes a full man。 Only through reading can we acquire more knowledge and live up to the precious time of youth。

  整体评述:

  2018年6月的四级考试中,就阅读这个单项,难度与以往基本持平。就选词填空这一部分而言,与我们在课上所讲解的解题技巧相一致。第一步将选项根据词性分类,第一套题今年名词7个,动词5个,形容词2个,副词1个。因此将单词分类之后,我们很快把15选1缩小到了最多是7选1,最少的情况是1选1。另外,名词通过简单判断单复数形式,动词通过时态和非谓语动词还可以进一步缩小范围。同样,仔细阅读解题的关键仍然与我们强调的一致,找准定位,选项与原文内容一一比对,排除各类干扰选项后,做对题目并不是很难。

  All of which, combined with California’s reputation as the home of technological 29 ,makes the place ideal for developing and testing systems designed to monitor pollution in 30 。And that is just what Aclima, a new firm in San Francisco, has been doing over the past few months。 It has been trying out monitoring that are 31 to yield minute-to-minute maps of 32 air pollution。 Such stations will also be able to keep an eye on what is happening inside buildings, including offices。

  46.A Not all of them are symptoms of dementia。

  解析:找到关键词 memory slips。对应到文章第一段But if you have memory slips, you probably needn’t worry。 There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss。结合题干和原文可知,记忆的小错误并非全是痴呆的症状,而可能是由于年龄大。symptoms和signs为同义替换。顾答案选择A。

  47。 C Communication within our brain weakens。

  解析:根据顺序原则对应文章定位句是Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain。 答案与定位句同义,顾答案C。

  48。 A Totally forgetting how to do one’s daily routines。

  解析:题干关键词,memory-related symptom以及take seriously。定位到But if you forget the plot of the movie or don’t remember even seeing it, that’s far more concerning, Daffner says。关键点在far more concerning故答案选择A。

  49。 A Check the brain’s cognitive reserve。

  解析:题干关键词为signs of memory loss。定位到倒数第二段第一句话Defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain’s cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says。故答案为A。

  50。 D Staying active both physically and mentally。

  解析:题干关键词Dr Daffner’s advice ,memory loss。定位到文章最后一句。Dr Daffner’s adviceIn other words, keep your brain busy and working。 And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster。

  第二套

  Passage One

  46。 B) Add to their sustained happiness。

  解析:根据关键词“one study”定位到第一段 ,“Living in an urban area with green spaces has a long-lasting positive impact on people’s mental well-being, a study has suggested, UK researchers found moving to a green space had a sustained positive effect,” 选项B中的 sustained 原文重现,happiness是“well-being”的同义转化。

  Part Ⅲ Translation (30 minutes)

  整体评述:

  与最近几年的四级翻译真题相比,这次的翻译真题难度较低,主要表现在两方面:第一,翻译原题中词汇难度较小;第二,翻译原题中句式较为简单。据此,对于备考四级的同学来说,了解汉语和英语在句式、标点等方面的基本异同,是学习汉译英、成功应对四级翻译的基本步骤。当然,如果希望在四级翻译中拿到高分,则需要不断积累和丰富英语词汇,特别是积累一些极具中国特色的词汇的英译方法,如“外来务工人员”(migrant workers),“生活水平的提高”(the improvement of living standards)等等。

  第一套

  过去,乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的。如今随着经济的发展和生活水平的提高,越来越多的中国人包括许多农民和外出务工人员都能乘飞机出行。他们可以乘飞机到达所有大城市,还有许多城市也在筹建机场。航空服务不断改进,而且经常会有特价机票。近年来,节假日期间选择乘飞机外出旅游的人不断增加。

  It was unimaginable for most Chinese people to travel by plane in the past。 However, at present, with the development in economy and the improvement in living standards, an increasing number of Chinese people, including farmers and migrant workers, choose to travel by plane because they can fly to all the major cities in China。 In the meanwhile, many other cities tend to prepare to build airports。 The service of airlines has been constantly improved, and air tickets are often available at a special discount。 As a result, there has been a constant rise in the number of tourists who travel by plane during holidays in recent years。

  逐句解析如下:

  第一句:

  过去,乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的。

  首先,注意时态。

  这句可用句型… was hard to imagine 或者 It was unimaginable for sb to do

  “乘飞机出行”可地道地译为travel by aeroplane, 当然,by plane也是没问题的。

  因此,这句可以译为:

  (1)Traveling by aeroplane was hard to imagine for most Chinese in the past。

  (2)It was unimaginable for most Chinese to travel by aeroplane in the past。

  鉴于形式主语It is adj。 for sb to do的句型更高级,所以推荐译文(2)。

  第二句:

  如今随着经济的发展和生活水平的提高,越来越多的中国人包括许多农民和外出务工人员都能乘飞机出行。

  词汇:生活水平:living standards

  农民:farmers 注:不能译为peasants(peasant指未受过教育的、粗俗的农民)

  外出务工人员:migrant workers

  “随着…”可用伴随状语“with…”处理;

  “包括 A and B”用介词短语“including A and B”处理。

  “越来越多的”第一种简单译法:more and more; 第二种表达“an increasing number of”,推荐用第二种。

  因此,这句可以译为:

  At present, with the development in economy and the improvement in living standards, an increasing number of Chinese people, including farmers and migrant workers, choose to travel by plane。

  若不会词汇“外出务工人员”,可灵活处理为后置定语,”外出务工的”解释为“在外面工作的”,处理成定语从句,该短语译成“people who work outside/ in other cities”

  第三句:

  他们可以乘飞机到达所有大城市,还有许多城市也在筹建机场。

  从逻辑来看,第三句与第二句存在着因果关系,所以从文章的整体衔接角度来看,可灵活的添上逻辑连接词。

  词汇:

  大城市 major cities

  筹建(筹备建设):prepare to build

  “乘飞机到达”可译为take the plane to reach… 或者 reach… by plane

  正在筹建机场的“城市”相对于已经有机场的“大城市”而言,是相对较小的城市,翻译时可具体化,译为:minor cities

  考生需要注意,两个分句的衔接需要最基本的连接词。

  因此,这句可以译为:

  They can take the plane to reach all the major cities in China。 In the meanwhile, many minor cities tend to prepare to build airports。

  第四句:

  航空服务不断改进,而且经常会有特价机票。

  词汇:

  航空服务 the service of airlines

  特价机票 air tickets at a discount

  The service of airlines has been constantly improved, and air tickets are often available at a discount。

  翻译时需注意,“航空服务”与“改进”是被动关系。

  “会有特价机票”也可处理为被动句:air tickets at a discount are offered。

  第五句:

  近年来,节假日期间选择乘飞机外出旅游的人不断增加。

  主干:人数不断增加。

  可以用主谓句型 或者 there be句型。

  “节假日期间选择乘飞机外出旅游的”译为定语从句。

  词汇:

  不断增加: constantly rise[v。] 或者 a constant rise[n。]

  因此,这句可以译为:

  (1)The number of tourists who travel by plane during the holidays has been constantly rising in recent years。

  (2) There has been a constant rise in the number of tourists who travel by plane during the holidays in recent years。

  鉴于there be的句型在此处更加灵活,所以推荐译文(2)。

  鉴于翻译满分为15分(试卷按照满分100分计算),成绩分为六个档次:13-15分、10-12分、7-9分、4-6分、1-3分和0分。各档次的评分标准具体如下:

  分数段分布 具体翻译表现

  13-15分 译文准确表达了原文的意思。用词贴切,行文流畅,基本上无语言错误,仅有个别小错。

  10-12分 译文基本上表达了原文的意思。文字通顺、连贯,无重大语言错误。

  7-9分 译文勉强表达了原文的意思。用词欠准确,语言错误相当多,其中有些是严重语言错误。

  4-6分 译文仅表达了一小部分原文的意思。用词不准确,有相当多的严重语言错误。

  1-3分 译文支离破碎。除个别词语或句子,绝大部分文字没有表达原文意思。

  0分 未作答,或只有几个孤立的词,或译文与原文毫不相关。

  由于该篇翻译难度中等偏低,

  据此,以下翻译得分基本在9—10分之间:

  Traveling by plane was hard to imagine for most Chinese in the past。 At present, more and more Chinese people, including farmers and workers, choose to travel by plane。 They can take the plane to go to all large cities in China, and many other cities are preparing to build airports。 The service has been improved, and discounted tickets are offered。 In recent years, the number of people who travel by plane during the holidays has been increasing。

  这一评分标准细则和基本及格翻译范文的展示说明,为了在最短的时间得到最为有效的分数,四级考生们务必在最短时间内,抓住最为重要的信息进行有效翻译。换言之,对于基础较弱、翻译时间有限的考生来说,则完全可以放弃翻译细枝末节的繁杂信息。

  第二套

  公交车曾是中国人出行的主要交通工具。近年来,由于私家车数量不断增多,城市的交通问题越来越严重。许多城市为了鼓励更多人乘坐公交车出行,一直在努力改善公交车的服务质量。车辆的设施不断更新,车速也有了显著提高。然而,公交车的票价却依然相当低廉。现在,在大多数城市,许多当地老年市民都可以免费乘坐公交车。

  For Chinese people, the bus used to be the major means of transport。 Owing to the constant rise in the number of private cars in recent years, traffic problems in cities have accordingly become more and more severe。 Many cities have been making efforts to improve the service of public transport so as to encourage more people to travel by bus。 Thanks to the updating of facilities in the vehicle, its speed has been obviously increased。 However, the fare of the public transport is relatively low。 At present, in most cities, many senior citizens in local areas can take the bus for free。

  (第二版)

  Taking bus used to be the primary choice to travel for most Chinese people。 In recent years, the problem of traffic in cities is getting serious with the constantly-increasing number of private vehicles。 In many cities, services on buses have been improved with effort to get more people encouraged to take buses。 The facilities are continuously updated and the speed of buses has also been increased greatly。 However, by contrast, the ticket price is quite low。 Now, in most big cities, most of local senior citizens are allowed to take buses for free。

  逐句解析如下:

  第一句:

  公交车曾是中国人出行的主要交通工具。

  这句话是典型的主系表结构,主干为公交车是交通工具。要注意时态,“曾”表明是一般过去时。“中国人出行”表示对象,用介词结构表达。

  词汇:主要交通工具:the major means of transport

  此句词汇部分比较难,交通工具也可以写成vehicle,能拿到基本分。

  全句翻译:For Chinese people, the bus used to be the major means of transport。

  第二句:

  近年来,由于私家车数量不断增多,城市的交通问题越来越严重。

  这句话“由于”两个字,为原因状语,用A of B的结构翻译;主句“城市的交通问题越来越严重”用more and more结构。此句“近年来”作为时间状语,放到句子主干最后,如果放在句首一定要用逗号隔开。

  词汇:私家车:private cars

  词汇:不断增多:constant rise

  全句翻译:Owing to the constant rise in the number of private cars in recent years, traffic problems in cities have accordingly become more and more severe。

  第三句:

  许多城市为了鼓励更多人乘坐公交车出行,一直在努力改善公交车的服务质量。

  这句话中“为了”一句表示目的状语,主句中有两个动词“努力”和“改善”,可以处理成不定式表目的状语的形式。要注意此句时态,“一直”二字用现在完成进行时比较合适。

  词汇:服务质量:service

  质量一词没有必要翻出

  词汇:努力:try to/make efforts

  全句翻译:Many cities have been making efforts to improve the service of public transport so as to encourage more people to travel by bus。

  第四句:

  车辆的设施不断更新,车速也有了显著提高。

  这句话要注意两句简单句的串联,两句呈因果关系。“车辆的设施不断更新”用A of B结构表达。

  词汇:设施:facility

  词汇:更新:update

  词汇:显著:obviously

  全句翻译:Thanks to the updating of facilities in the vehicle, its speed has been obviously increased。

  第五句:

  然而,公交车的票价却依然相当低廉。

  这句话注意补词,“依然”后面少了个“是”,所以此句依然是常考的主系表结构。此句要注意,这是一个比较结构,省略了后面比较的对象,句子补充完整应该为“和私家车相比,公交车的票价却依然相当低廉。”

  词汇:票价:fare

  词汇:相当:relatively

  全句翻译:However, the fare of the public transport is relatively low compared with that of private cars。

  第六句:

  现在,在大多数城市,许多当地老年市民都可以免费乘坐公交车。

  这句话中时间状语和地点状语都放在最前面,翻译成英文时如果放在句子最前面一定要用逗号隔开。

  词汇:当地老年市民:senior/old/elderly citizens in the local areas

  词汇:免费:free of charge/free

  全句翻译:At present, in most of the cities, many senior citizens in the local areas can take the bus free of charge。

  鉴于翻译满分为15分(试卷按照满分100分计算),成绩分为六个档次:13-15分、10-12分、7-9分、4-6分、1-3分和0分。各档次的评分标准具体如下:

  分数段分布 具体翻译表现

  13-15分 译文准确表达了原文的意思。用词贴切,行文流畅,基本上无语言错误,仅有个别小错。

  10-12分 译文基本上表达了原文的意思。文字通顺、连贯,无重大语言错误。

  7-9分 译文勉强表达了原文的意思。用词欠准确,语言错误相当多,其中有些是严重语言错误。

  4-6分 译文仅表达了一小部分原文的意思。用词不准确,有相当多的严重语言错误。

  1-3分 译文支离破碎。除个别词语或句子,绝大部分文字没有表达原文意思。

  0分 未作答,或只有几个孤立的词,或译文与原文毫不相关。

  据此,以下翻译得分基本在7—10分之间:

  Buses used to be the main vehicle for Chinese people。 In recent years, due to the increasing number of private cars, the traffic problems in cities have become more and more serious。 In order to encourage more people to travel by bus, many cities have tried to improve the service quality of buses。 The vehicles are increasingly updated and the speed of the vehicles is also increased。 However, the price is still quite low。 Nowadays, in most cities, many old people can take buses for free。

  这一评分标准细则和基本及格翻译范文的展示说明,为了在最短的时间得到最为有效的分数,四级考生们务必在最短时间内,抓住最为重要的信息进行有效翻译。换言之,对于基础较弱、翻译时间有限的考生来说,则完全可以放弃翻译细枝末节的繁杂信息。
