2017年12月英語六級練習題：翻譯①

從最近幾年的英語六級翻譯真題中，不難看出，翻譯目前考察的方向多偏向於社會經濟、文化等方面，日常複習中我們也要提前儲備一些常考話題材料。小編今天爲大家帶來了幾套六級翻譯的預測題，第一套是教育類，希望對大家的學習有所幫助。

請將下面這段話翻譯成英文：

1.繼續教育

繼續教育(continuing education)是指給完成學校教育的人員—尤其是成人—提供知識和技能的教育。繼續教育是正規教育的有效補充，是終身學習體系的重要組成部分。在中國，繼續教育包括自學考試、函授教育(correspondent education)、夜間大學和電視大學(open university)，有傳統的課堂教學和遠程學習等多種授課方式。近年來中國的繼續教育體系發展顯著，然而，嚴峻的危機也日益顯露，如師資短缺、課程和教學方法落伍。只有解決這些問題，中國的繼續教育才能繼續發展，滿足社會需要。

提示：

　　1.在第二句話中，前一個分句“是正規教育的有效補充”，可使用“as+名詞短語”結構，譯爲as an effectivesupplement to regular education;把第二個分句“繼續教育是終身學習體系的重要組成部分”作爲英文的主句。
　　2.在“在中國，繼續教育有自學考試…等多種授課方式”這一句中有兩個動詞：“包括”、“有”。可以像參考譯文那樣將第二個分句翻譯成with various teaching methods, such as…，也可以將此句譯成兩個獨立的分句。
　　3.“近年來中國的繼續教育體系發展顯著”這一句話譯成recent years have witnessed the remarkabledevelopment of China's continuing education system，使用了“時間/地點+witness”的結構，使句子更生動。
　　4.在“嚴竣的危機也日益顯露，如師資短缺、課程和教學方法落伍”這句話中，可先譯出“嚴竣的危機也日益顯露”，即grim crises have emerged，再具體列舉哪些方面的危機。

2.農民工子女教育

隨着城市化(urbanization)進程的加快，越來越多的農民工(migrant worker)在城市裏安頓下來。他們把子女接到城裏來，希望孩子能接受到更好的教育。然而，這些農民工發現現實並不像他們預期的那麼美好。城市公立學校的設施和師資遠遠不能滿足大批農民工子女的需求。幸運的是，農民工子女的教育已成爲政府議事日程上優先處理的問題。

提示：

　　1.第1句中的伴隨狀語“隨着城市化進程的加快”可用介詞短語with the acceleration of urbanization來表達，漢語中表範疇的“進程”可省略不譯。
　　2.在第2句中，“希望孩子……”可處理成狀語表伴隨動作，譯爲hoping that...，也可用介詞短語with the hopeof/that...。“他們能接受更好的教育”可譯爲句子their children can receive better education，但不如用獨立主語結構 their children receiving better education 來得地道。
　　3.翻譯第3句“這些農民工發現……不……那麼美好”時要注意時態。本句敘述一般的客觀情況，故主句的謂語“發現”用一般現在時;“預期”表過去的動作，可用過去時或現在完成時。而“現實不那麼美好”是現在的狀態，用現在時，譯作the reality is not...。
　　4.第4句中的“滿足......的需求”用短語meet the needs來表達，定語“大批農民工子女的”較長，處理成後置定語，用介詞of引出，表所屬，譯作of the big group of migrant children。

3.大學生創業

近年來大學生創業(entrepreneurship)問題越來越受到社會的關注，因爲受過多年教育的大學生屬於高級知識分子，他們揹負着社會的種種期望。在社會經濟繁榮發展的同時，大學生創業也成爲新氣象。現代大學生有創新精神，有對傳統觀念和傳統行業挑戰的信心和慾望，而這種創新精神也成爲大學生創業的動力源泉，成爲成功創業的信心基礎。大學生懷揣創業夢想，努力打拼，實現自己的理想，證明自己的價值。

提示：

　　1.越來越受到……的關注：有很多譯法，可以靈活處理，如to attract an increasing attention from…也可譯爲befocused on more and more，文中翻譯爲 has paid more and more attention to.
　　2.揹負着社會的種種期望：可譯爲bear expectations ofsociety.
　　3.創業：有很多譯法，可以根據不同情況進行選擇，文中譯爲establish a business，也可譯爲start one‘s ownenterprise.
　　4.傳統行業：可譯爲traditional professions或traditional industries.
　　5.成爲成功創業的信心基礎：可以理解爲“更有信心取得成功”，故譯爲be confident to achieve success.
　　6.懷揣…夢想：可譯爲bearing the dream of……，也可譯爲having the dream of……，這裏用現在分詞形式作狀語。
　　7.實現自己的理想：可譯爲realize one‘s ideals，還可用to put one’s dream into reality表達。
