六级翻译临场解题策略
一、解题技巧
翻译是很多考生选择放弃的题型,因为它排在试题最后,建议时间只有5分钟,分值只占5%。其实这样做是挺可惜的,因为翻译的评分标准比大部分同学想象的要宽松的多。以2009年6月的翻译真题第一题为例:
32
82. With the oil prices ever rising, she tried to talk ____ _____________________ (说服他不买车)。
评分时给出的满分答案有四种: 1.him out of buying cars
2.to him an persuade him not to buy the car 3.to him in order to persuade him not to buy a car 4.him into giving up buying a car
当然,出题人希望考生给出的是第一种,或者说该题考点是talk sb. out of doing sth. 这一搭配。但能写出后三种答案也照样得满分,因为它们也都完整地表达了原文的意思,而且没有语法和拼写错误。所以大家不要放弃翻译,只要用自己会的词充分表达了原文的意思,就有可能得分,甚至得满分。
具体来说,像写作一样,翻译也分为三步:: 1、理解
即通读并透彻理解原文含义,包括理解出题人想考察的语法或搭配。语法如虚拟语气、倒装、不定式、分词、情态动词、各种从句等等;搭配如动宾搭配、介宾搭配等等。 2、翻译
确定译文句子的时态、句型、结构和用词。实在无法准确猜出出题人的意向,就用解释的方法写出答案。 3、审校
首先检查译文是否正确地转述了原文内容,是否有错译和漏译;其次,检查是否有语言上的明显错误,如时态、语态、单复数、拼写、大小写、标点符号等。发现错误,及时改正。 二、冲刺方略
要备考翻译,还是需要做比较多细致的工作的。
首先,大家应该重视语法结构和句型。可以通过做我们给的语法专项练习来实现。有语法的盲点应该通过练习和查阅语法书即使扫清。
其次,应该重视搭配。记单词的时候要养成记搭配的习惯,尤其对于动词来说要这样。大家最好能够了解到《大学英语课程教学要求》里面所规定的搭配,如09年6月第一题里考到的talk sb. out of doing sth。就在其中。当然这并不够因为像以往考过的deprive sb. of sth. 这样基本的重要搭配在《大学英语课程教学要求》里面又找不到,所以还需要大家自己在背单词的时候尽可能多记一些搭配。
附:2009年6月六级翻译真题及参考答案和解析 真题:
82. With the oil prices ever rising, she tried to talk ____ ________________________________ (说服他不买车)。
83. _____________________________________ (保持幽默感有助于) reduce stress and promote creative thinking in today?s competitive society。
33
84. When confronted with the evidence, _____________________________________ (他不得不坦白自己的罪行)。
85. When people say, “I can feel my ears burning,” it means they think
___________________ __________________________(一定有人在说他们的坏话)。 86. She has decided to go on a diet, but finds _____________________________________ (很难抵制冰淇淋的诱惑)。
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled On the Importance of a Name. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below。 1. 有人说名字(或名称)很重要 2. 也有人觉得名字(或名称)无关紧要 3. 我认为……
构思第一段时,想到可以来一句铺垫的话,如“名字重不重要是个有争议的话题”,可以写下controversial或topic,作为关键词;下一句是“有人说名字(或名称)很重要”,可以先写下important。再往后想两条理由或例证即可。理由如“好名字容易被记住,因而可以给人来更多机会”(关键词remember或opportunity),和“按照传统理论起的名字可能会对人起到暗中庇护的作用”(关键词tradition或shelter);例证如“有人认为毛泽东伟大是因为名字就大气,Bill Gates有钱是因为他的名字可以表示钞票,姓表示很多大门,很多大门都来钱,所以有钱”。第二、三段情同此理。其实第一段想好了,后两段也就容易了。比如第二段可以将第一段的理由或例证反过来用,第三段可以总结或折中一下。字数还是比较容易写够的。 参考答案及解析:
82. him out of buying a car(考点:搭配talk sb. out of doing sth。和动名词作介词宾语) 83. Keeping a sense of humor helps(考点:单词及动名词作主语) 84. he had (no choice but) to confess his crime(考点:单词与搭配)
85. somebody must be speaking ill of them (考点:搭配及情态动词表示判断)
86. it hard to resist the temptation of ice cream(考点:搭配,不定式作宾语及it作形式宾语)

写作
一、解题技巧
写作解题时间为30分钟,分为三步:5分钟审题和构思,20分钟写作,5分钟检查可能犯的错误。下面分步骤说明。
(一)审题和构思
事实上提供给写作的时间不止30分钟。一般来说,各考场会提前5分钟左右将答题卡一发到学生手里,大一点的考场甚至可能提前10分钟发卷。这5到10分钟不允许学生作答,但考生完全可以用来做作文部分的审题和构思工作。注意审题一定要仔细,按要求写作,不得擅自改动题目,给定的提纲不得有遗漏,否则会按比例扣分。尤其注意,不要因为事先自己背过或练过哪篇相似的文章而死搬硬套。否则后果很严重。如,2008年12月六级写作真题题目是College Students? Mental Health,提纲为 1. 心理健康对于大学生很重要 2. 鉴于此,学校可以…… 3. 我们自己应该……”
而在考试之前我出过一道类似的模拟题,题目为“Psychological Problems Among College Students”, 提纲为
1. 很多大学生有严重的心理问题 2. 产生这些问题的原因 3. 如何解决这些问题”
可以看出,我给的提纲是按照比较规矩的三段论来的,即“提出问题、分析问题、解决问题”。但真题的提纲并未要求考生分析问题,反倒有两段要写解决问题。有的考生因为看过或背过模拟题的范文,就直接照搬,导致了失分。
另外,构思不是打草稿。并不建议学生练习写作时养成打草稿的习惯。因为考场上时间有限,打完草稿再誊写很可能来不及。另外,更重要的原因是考场上不发草稿纸,一般也不允许往里带纸,难以找到打草稿的地方。考生只要花三五分钟做一下构思即可,即想象一下每段大致写什么,可以记几个关键词(比如在准考证空白的地方)提示自己,在接下来的二十分钟里面按照这几个关键词提示的内容扩展就行。一般来说,要求不少于150词的文章最好写到180到200词,就句子数目来说,如果分三段,每段也就三到五句话,平均四句一段。那么整篇文章大约10个关键词就可以做好构思。以2009年6月六级写作真题为例。
(二)写作
写作的过程当中,要注意这样几条高分策略。
字迹清楚,段落明朗(clear):字体不要太大,也不要太小,以行间距的三分之一到二分之一为合适;另外,大小要一致,不要忽大忽小;字母的倾斜方向要一致,不要东倒西歪;要抵
