為大家整理了2013英語四級翻譯,僅供參考??!
    UNIT 1 基本技能篇(15天)Day 3 省略句
    第一步:四級精彩套句展示
    It is necessary that effective actions be taken to prevent this problem.
    省略,在語言中,尤其在對話中是一種常見的現(xiàn)象,它可以使語氣明了。英語里被省略部分一般可以在句子中補上。本句是省略should的虛擬語氣,完整句為It is necessary that effective actions should be taken to prevent this problem. 這種對虛擬語氣的省略在四級作文句子里面廣為存在,
    又如:It is hoped that great efforts should be directed to (expended on / focused on) finding (developing / improving)…中的should也可省略。
    第二步:語法精講
    1. 簡介
    句子中的某一成分省略的現(xiàn)象,在語言當中廣泛存在,漢語當中也有。比如:一班的學(xué)生比二班的多。本句中在“二班的”后面就省略了“學(xué)生”一詞,因為根據(jù)語境,該詞我們已經(jīng)可以推理得知,在語言中為了避免麻煩,將其省略。
    大家可能會說:“四級考試中我就擔(dān)心字數(shù)湊不夠,為什么還要學(xué)習(xí)省略呢?”字數(shù)的問題確實是我們必須面對的問題,但并不是四級考核的惟一標準。省略句的合理利用,會起到事半功倍的效果。首先,啟用省略句雖然在字數(shù)上吃了點小虧,但是可以讓句子更精煉流暢,可謂舍一而得十;另外,很多考生為了湊字數(shù),啰里啰嗦,讓評卷老師味同嚼蠟,這時你的省略句就可能會如一縷春風(fēng),好處自不用多言。
    2. 四級必考句型
    (1) Although many have tried, few have succeeded in attempts to .
    【分析】本句中tried后的賓語可根據(jù)后半句的語義推測得知,所以可以省略,避免重復(fù)。
    Although many have tried, few have succeeded in attempts to find perfect solutions.
    (2) , be it , will bring a lot of happiness into our lives.
    【分析】本句是一個超難句型,中間一節(jié)省略了whether和might,并進行了倒裝,將“be it”恢復(fù)后應(yīng)為whether it might be。Be it…,可譯為“比方說”,用來給出更多細節(jié)。
    The application of electric power, be it to light our rooms or to listen to music, will bring a lot of happiness to our lives.
    (3) Christie stared angrily at her boss and turned away, as though to go out of the office.
    【分析】as though引導(dǎo)方式狀語從句,謂語常用虛擬語氣,本句中主句的主語與從句的主語相同,故從句中的主語和謂語省略,即省略了she wanted;如果補全,即為:as though she wanted to go out of the office.
     第三步:練習(xí)與進步
    A. 翻譯
    1. 因為項目任務(wù)十分艱巨,這個項目需要的勞動力比我們已經(jīng)投入的要多。

    5. 他的衣服很寬大,好像是為比他個子大一倍的人裁剪的。
    6. 海豚與狗同樣都是聰明的動物。
    7. 每個人能夠走鋼絲而沒有一絲畏懼的,除非他從小就訓(xùn)練過。
    8. 不管付出多大的代價,他都會堅持他認為正確的。
    9. 他經(jīng)常坐在一間小酒吧里喝酒,喝得太多了,不利于他的身體。

    世界上,沒有什么比人更偉大,而對于人來說,沒有什么比精神更偉大。

    2. 精力無窮式
    Live as though you intend to live forever, and work as though your strength were limitless. (S. Bernhardt )

    【點評】是個很生動的句型,很有文學(xué)魅力,可以背會用來鼓勵大家努力。用在最后一段的開頭,可以畫龍點睛。
    3. 前輕后重式

    不要認為取勝就是一切,更重要的是要有信念。倘若你沒有信念,那勝利又有什么意義呢?(柯克蘭)
    【點評】這是正反論述文的經(jīng)典句型。前面的觀點是你反對的,后面的是你所支持的。例如在文章的最后一段可以這樣寫:Don’t be afraid that we won’t succeed in solving this problem; it is more important to know we are doing our best. 這樣,20多個單詞就毫不費力地寫出來了。
