第三届翻译大赛初赛试题

江西省第三届翻译大赛初赛试题及参考译文 一、将下列短文译成汉语（50分）: Acceptance Speech William Faulkner I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work—a life’s work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before. So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin. But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnace from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whose is already that one who will some day stand here where I am standing. Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat. He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it, forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed—love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or compassion. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands(腺).

从本质上讲，“工匠精神”是一种职业精神，它是职业道德、职业能力、职业品质的体现，是从业者的一种职业价值取向和行为表现。“工匠精神”的基本内涵包括敬业、精益、专注、创新等方面的内容。 Essentially, “Craftsman Spirit”is an artisan spirit which reflects one’s morality, ability and quality of job. It is one of the professional value and behaviour. The fundamental elements of “Craftsman Spirit” include, among other things, devotion, lean, concentration, and innovation. 其一，敬业。中华民族历来有“敬业乐群”“忠于职守”的传统。早在春秋时期，孔子就主张人在一生中始终要“执事敬”“事思敬”“修己以敬”。 First of all, devotion. It is the tradition of the Chinese to do our duty. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius advocated that people should try to take their responsibility for their whole lives. 其二，精益。能基业长青的企业，无不是精益求精才获得成功的。瑞士手表得以誉满天下、畅销世界、成为经典，靠的就是制表匠们对每一个零件、每一道工序、每一块手表都精心打磨、专心雕琢的精益精神。 Second, lean.None of the successful enterprises that can base industry evergreen without the excellence. The reason why Swiss watches became internationally renowned, best-selling and a classic is the pursuit of that inspires the watchmakers to concentrate on polishing each part, each working procedure, each a watch carefully. 其三，专注。专注就是内心笃定而着眼于细节的耐心、执着、坚持的精神，这是一切“大国工匠”所必须具备的精神特质。从中外实践经验来看，工匠精神都意味

河南省第八届翻译竞赛试题及参考译文 -英语专业组

河南省第八届翻译竞赛试题及参考译文 笔译类英语专业组 I. Translate the Following Passage into Chinese (50 Points)： Life of Socrates Socrates was born in Athens, 469 B. C., the son of poor parents, his father being a sculptor, his mother a midwife. How he acquired an education, we do not know, but his love of knowledge evidently created opportunities in the cultured city for intellectual growth. He took up the occupation of his father, but soon felt “a divine vocation to examine himself by questioning other men.”It was his custom to engage in converse with all sorts and conditions of men and women, on the streets, in the market-place, in the gymnasia, discussing the most diverse topics: war, politics, marriage, friendship, love, housekeeping, the arts and trades, poetry, religion, science, and, particularly, moral matters. Nothing human was foreign to him. Life with all its interests became the subject of his inquiries, and only the physical side of the world left him cold; he declared that he could learn nothing from trees and stones. He was subtle and keen, quick to discover the fallacies in an argument and skillful in steering the conversation to the very heart of the matter. Though kindly and gentle in disposition, and brimming over with good humor, he delighted in exposing the quacks and humbugs of his time and pricking their empty bubbles with his wit.

第三届翻译大赛试题及答案

Nature and Art Nature contains the elements, in colour and form, of all pictures, as the keyboard contains the notes of all music. But the artist is born to pick, and choose, and group with science, these elements, that the result may be beautiful—as the musician gathers his notes, and forms his chords, until he brings forth from the chaos glorious harmony. To say to the painter, that Nature is to be taken as she is, is to say to the player, that he may sit on the piano… The dignity of the snow-capped mountain is lost in distinctness, but the joy of the tourist is to recognize the traveller on the top. The desire to see, for the sake of seeing, is, with the mass, alone the one to be gratified, hence the delight in detail. And when the evening mist clothes the riverside with poetry, as with a veil, and the poor buildings lose themselves in the dim sky, and the tall chimneys become campanili, and the warehouses are palaces in the night, and the whole city hangs in the heavens, and fairy-land is before us—then the wayfarer hastens home; the working man and the cultured one, the wise man and the one of pleasure, cease to understand, as they have ceased to see, and Nature, who, for once, has sung in tune, sings her exquisite song to the artist alone, her son and her master—her son in that loves her, her master in that he knows her. To him her secrets are unfolded, to him her lessons have become gradually clear. He looks at her flower, not with the enlarging lens, that may gather facts for the botanist, but with the light of the one who sees in her choice selection of brilliant tones and delicate tints, suggestions of future harmonies. He does not confine himself to purposeless copying, without thought, each blade of grass, as commended by the inconsequent, but, in the long curve of the narrow leaf, corrected by the straight tall stem, he learns how grace is wedded to dignity. How strength enhances sweetness, that elegance shall be the result.

英语世界翻译大赛原文

第九届“郑州大学—《英语世界》杯”翻译大赛英译汉原文 The Whoomper Factor By Nathan Cobb 【1】As this is being written, snow is falling in the streets of Boston in what weather forecasters like to call “record amounts.” I would guess by looking out the window that we are only a few hours from that magic moment of paralysis, as in Storm Paralyzes Hub. Perhaps we are even due for an Entire Region Engulfed or a Northeast Blanketed, but I will happily settle for mere local disablement. And the more the merrier. 【1】写这个的时候，波士顿的街道正下着雪，天气预报员将称其为“创纪录的量”。从窗外望去，我猜想，过不了几个小时，神奇的瘫痪时刻就要来临，就像《风暴瘫痪中心》里的一样。也许我们甚至能够见识到《吞没整个区域》或者《茫茫东北》里的场景，然而仅仅部分地区的瘫痪也能使我满足。当然越多越使人开心。 【2】Some people call them blizzards, others nor’easters. My own term is whoompers, and I freely admit looking forward to them as does a baseball fan to April. Usually I am disappointed, however; because tonight’s storm warnings too often turn into tomorrow’s light flurries. 【2】有些人称它们为暴风雪，其他人称其为东北风暴。我自己则有一个叫法：呐喊者。我大方地承认道我期待着它们的到来，正如一位篮球迷盼望着四月份的来临。然而通常情况下，我会大失所望，因为今天发布了风暴警报，明天往往只飘起小雪。 【3】Well, flurries be damned. I want the real thing, complete with Volkswagens turned into drifts along Commonwealth Avenue and the MBTA’s third rail frozen like a hunk of raw meat. A storm does not even begin to qualify as a whoomper unless Logan Airport is shut down for a minimum of six hours. 【3】好吧，小雪令人厌恶。我想要实实在在的东西，包括大众汽车成了联邦大道的漂浮物，波士顿市运输局的第三条轨道像一大块生肉一样被冻住了。除非洛根机场至少关闭六个小时，否则这一场风暴根本配不上称作呐喊者。

湖北省第二十届英语翻译大赛决赛真题

湖北省二十届英语翻译大赛决赛真题【非英语专业笔译组】 1.英译汉 While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practice most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past. Caught in the web of its own time and place, each generation of historians determines anew what is significant for it in the past. In this search the evidence found is always incomplete and scattered; it is also frequently partial or partisan. The irony of the historian’s craft is that its practitioners always know that their efforts are but contributions to an unending process. Interest in historical methods has arisen less through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline and more from internal quarrels among historians themselves. While history once revered its affinity to literature and philosophy, the emerging social sciences seemed to afford greater opportunities for asking new questions and providing rewarding approaches to an understanding of the past. Social science methodologies had to be adapted to a discipline governed by the primacy of historical sources rather than the imperatives of the contemporary world. 73) During this transfer, traditional historical methods were augmented by additional methodologies designed to interpret the new forms of evidence in the historical study. Methodology is a term that remains inherently ambiguous in the historical profession. 74) There is no agreement whether methodology refers to the concepts peculiar to historical work in general or to the research techniques appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry. Historians, especially those so blinded by their research interests that they have been accused of “tunnel method,” frequently fall victim to the “technicist fallacy.” Also common in the natural sciences, the technicist fallacy mistakenly identifies the discipline as a whole with certain parts of its technical implementation. It applies equally to traditional historians who view history as only the external and internal criticism of sources, and to social science historians who equate their activity with specific techniques. 2.汉译英 第二天早上，天空阴暗多云，海面波涛起伏，但后来太阳出来了。风雨过后，更觉空气清新，大海在闪闪发光。早饭后我到外面走走，经过市场，我看见售货摊上有从海里打来的鲜鱼卖。我朝着海边走去，看见在阳光下发着亮光的渔船回来了。它们满载着刚打的鱼，一条接一条地市驶进岸边。我在那站了很久，看着渔夫们把鱼搬到岸上来。突然我听见有人在清冷的空气中说话。这是个老渔夫深沉有力的嗓音。原来刚才回来的第一条渔船是他的。我们攀谈起来。他对我说：“这是一条旧船了。原是我父亲的，我父亲是这个地方最好的渔夫。我呢？除了这条船外，一无所有。……哦！读了，还有这片土地，这片大海，也是我们的。”我永远忘不了他眼睛里的自豪感。 答案:The next morning, the sky was dark and cloudy, the sea waves rose and fell, but later the sun was coming out. After the storm, the air was fresher and cooler and the sea was shining. After breakfast I took a walk outside by way of the market, and I saw there was fresh fish caught from the sea and sold on the booth. I walked towards the seashore and saw that the shining fishing boats were coming back in the sunshine. They were fully loaded of the fish and driving closely to the shore.Suddenly, I heard someone speaking in the cold air. This was a deep and powerful voice of an old fisherman. It turned out that the first fishing boat coming back was his. We had a talk. He said," this is an old boat. It originally belonged to my father and he was the best fisherman in this place. But for me, I have nothing except this fishing boat...oh, well, this land and the sea are also
