英语四级翻译冲刺:四个注意事项
1. 注意时态
汉语当中多主动,英语当中多被动。
2. 注意用词
翻译重点考察语言的应用能力,所以在考试时,应尽量避免使用一些过于简单的词汇,而应选择一些更高级的词汇。比如"have to"可以换成"be obliged to","help to"可以换成"contribute to"。
3. 注意搭配
这里的搭配主要指一些固定搭配。比如“学习知识”不用"learn knowledge",而必须用"acquire knowledge";"concern"后面的介词必须跟"over"而不是"of"等等。
下面给大家总结出了常见的一些搭配:
动词和名词的搭配:raise awareness, adopt measures, take steps, adopt approaches
动词词组的搭配:give a green light to, deepen one’s understanding of, pave the way for
形容词和名词的搭配:compelling reason, ample evidence, harsh punishment
名词词组搭配:environmental awareness, coverage of crime, health effect
介宾短语的搭配:in the media, on the internet, on television, in newspapers
表示某个特定意思的习惯搭配:
lead a fulfilling life, close the rich/poor gap, discriminate between right and wrong,have a higher chance of developing cancer, fail to achieve work-life balance
避免中式英文的直接翻译:
improve the problem →solve the problem or improve the situation
contact with violence→exposure to violence
advertisements about children→advertisements aimed at children.
4. 注意变通词汇
另辟蹊径,试着用几个词去解释自己突然想不起的单词或者找同义词,近义词来替换。
如“匿名”对应的单词是"anonymity",可以用"a unknown name"来代替。”美化”对应的单词“beautify”,可以用“make sth more beautiful”来代替。
