河北2017年成人学位英语考试预测试题及答案四
四、翻译(英译汉)
51.Readers of novels like Jane Austen' s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl' s parents, that is, it was the parents' duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry(嫁妆). It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results: a girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.
答案:读过像简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》这样的小说的人都知道,以前富裕家庭里的婚姻是由女方父母安排的,也就是说,为女儿寻找一个合适的、是富有的丈夫,并且想方设法地鼓励他请求他们把自己的女儿嫁给他,这是父母的责任。直到那个时候,女孩依然受到来自父母家的保护和维护,当他们给予这对新人被称为“嫁妆”的一笔钱之后,她就失去了他们的财政援助。这在当代是非常不同的,现在的女孩离开学校时便找到了工作,并且在她们结婚之前已经经济独立了。这有两种结果:一个是女孩选择自己的丈夫,一个是她得不到嫁妆了。
