考研英语二真题 2019考研英语二真题翻译参考范文

2019年考研英语刚刚结束，刚刚走出考场的同学应该深有体会。今年英语翻译考察的是英国作家吉米·哈利。英语二的翻译考察对整个篇章段落上下文的把握，与英语相比，尽管词汇和句法的难度降低，但是若想拿高分细节的处理非常重要。文都考研题型考生，英语的翻译比英语高出5分，因此，英语考生要注意，翻译得分不容忽视。

Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)

It is easy to underestimate English writer James Heriot. He had such a pleasant, readable style that one might think that anyone could imitate it. How many times have I heard people say “I could write a book. I just haven’t the time.” Easily said. Not so easily done. James Herriot, contrary to popular opinion, did not find it easy in his early days of, as he put it, “having a go at the writing game”. While he obviously had an abundance of natural talent, the final, polished work that he gave to the world was the result of years of practising, re-writing and reading. Like the majority of authors, he had to suffer many disappointments and rejections along the way, but these made him all the more determined to succeed. Everything he achieved in life was earned the hard way and his success in the literary field was no exception.

我们很容易低估英国作家吉米·哈利。他的作品秉承一种令人愉快的，易读的风格，以至于有人认为任何人都可以模仿。很多次我听到人们说：“我能写一本书，我只是没有时间。”说来容易，做来难。与大家所想的相反，早年吉米·哈利发现写作并非易事，正如他所言“尝试写作游戏”。尽管很显然他极具写作天赋，但他呈现给世界的最终出版作品也是历经多年练习，重写与阅读的结果。与大多数作家一样，一路走来，他经历了多次的失望与拒绝，但这一切使他更坚定了获得成功的决心。他生命中获得的成就源于他的艰苦努力，他在文学领域的成功绝非偶然。

解析：第一句中，“It”属于形式主语，代指后面的“underestimate English writer James Herriot”。在翻译的过程中“It is easy to”可翻译为“人们很容易...”。“Easily said. Not easily done”按照汉语的习惯，翻译为“说来容易，做来难”即可。后半部分的翻译，大家需要额外注意定语的处理“the final, published work that he gave to the world was the results of ...”这个句子的主干时“the work was the result of...”“he gave to the world”属于定语从句，修饰与限定“the final, published work”。最后一句“no exception”，直译表示“不是例外”，我们也可意译为“他在文学领域的成功绝非偶然。”

总的来看，今年英语的翻译难度中等，没有出现及其难以翻译的语言与词汇。考生在考场上一定要注意翻译的三大原则：准确，通顺，完整。保证译文的质量，同时，主观题一定要注意字迹工整，尽量少涂改，争取在翻译环节取得高分。
