2019 年12月第3套:汉族名字
真题：
中国汉族人的全名由姓和名组成。中文姓名的特点是，姓总是在前，名跟在其后。千百年来，父姓一直世代相传。然而，如今，孩子跟母亲姓并不罕见。一般来说，名有一个或两个汉字，通常承载父母对孩子的愿望。从孩子的名字可以推断出父母希望孩子成为什么样的人，或者期望他们过什么样的生活。父母非常重视给孩子取名，因为名字往往会伴随孩子一生。
译文：
The full name of a Han Chinese consists of a family name and a given name. A distinctive feature of the Chinese name is that the family name always comes first, followed by the given name. For thousands of years, Chinese family names have been passed down through the father. Nowadays, however, it is not uncommon for a child to adopt the mother's family name. Generally, a given name is made up of one or two characters, usually carrying the parents' wishes for their child. It can be inferred from the name what kind of person the parents want their child to be, or what kind of life they expect him or her to lead. Chinese parents attach great importance to the choice of their child's name, as the name tends to accompany the child for his or her entire life.

黄河全长五千多米，是我国第二长河以及世界第六长河。
它发源于青海省的巴颜喀拉山脉，流经九个省，最后注入渤海。
由于黄河流域是中华文明最主要的发源地，因此我国称其为“母亲河”，它也被誉为“中华文明的摇篮”。
但是其洪灾频发也使得其得名“中国之痛”。
新链陪祥中国成立以后，政府投入大量人力物力治理黄河并取得了显著的效果。
【参考译文】
The Yellow River, with its length of more than five thousand meters, is the second longest river in our country and the sixth longest in the world.
Originating from the Bayankala Mountains in Qinghai Province, it flows through nine provinces of China and empties into the Bohai Sea.
Since its basin is the main birthplace of Chinese civilization and the most prosperous region in early Chinese history, it is called as “Mother River of China” and also hailed as “the Cradle of
Chinese Civilization”.
But frequent devastating flooding has also earned it the unenviable distinction as "China's Sorrow".

3.2021年12月大学英语四级翻译模拟试题及答案
西安是中国古代13个王朝(dynasty)的首都。毫无疑问，它是中国历史与文化的完美代表。西安居于“中国古都”之首，在中国历建都时间最长、影响力。它是丝绸之路(the Silk Road)的起点，是中华文明的发祥地。西安到处都是令人惊叹的历史奇观，因此吸引着众多的国内外游客。那里有着中国最古老、最壮观的博物馆和寺庙，其中最的是拥有2000年历史的兵马俑博物馆(the Terracotta Warriors Museum)。
参考译文
Xi'an is the capital of 13 ancient Chinese dynasties. It is no doubt the perfect representative of Chinese histoiy and culture. With the longest history of being a capital and the greatest influence in China's history, it tops all the Chinese ancient capitals. It is the starting point of the Silk Road as well as the birthplace of Chinese culture. Filled with amazing historic wonders, Xi'an is attracting a large number of tourists from home and abroad. It boasts the oldest and most spectacular museums and temples in China, among which the most famous is the 2000-year-old Terracotta Warriors Museum.
表达难点
1.第2句中的状语“毫无疑问”修饰整句话时，可译为it is no doubt that+从句，也可将no doubt置于系动词is和名词之间，译作it is no doubt the perfect representative…。这样的表述更简洁。
2.第3句“西安居于‘中国古都’之首，在中国历建都时间最长，影响力”中，可以将“建都时间最长，影响力”看作是“居于‘中国古都’之首”的伴随状语，用介词短语with the longest history…and the greatest influence 来表达。
3.第5句中的“到处都是令人惊叹的历史奇观”是后一分句“吸引……游客”的原因所在，这里可以用as或for 引导原因状语从句来表达，也可用一个简单的分词短语filled with…来表状态，语义表达简洁明了。
4.最后一句中的“那里有着”可以直译为there be句型，但过于平淡，宜译作It boasts…，boast取“自豪地拥有”之义，表达较为生动。“其中……”这个分句可用among which引导非限制性定语从句来表达，使得句子结构紧凑，表达流畅。
