2017年初級(jí)翻譯考試筆譯練習(xí)題及答案
試題一：
人們通常喜歡聽(tīng)好聽(tīng)的話，一聽(tīng)到拂耳之言就容易產(chǎn)生不悅甚至慍怒。一個(gè)人特別是身居要職的人要能夠心悅誠(chéng)服地傾聽(tīng)逆耳之良言并從中獲得智慧，就需要一種容忍和大度的雅量，而這往往依賴于人們的心性修養(yǎng)和對(duì)人性缺陷的克制;否則，就會(huì)給那些善于運(yùn)用花言巧語(yǔ)和投其所好的人提供可乘之機(jī)，并傷害那些直言不諱的忠誠(chéng)之人。
在理智上，人們大概愿意接受“兼聽(tīng)則明，偏信則暗”、“忠言逆耳利于行”等一類古老的真理，或者樂(lè)于信服老子說(shuō)的“美言不信，信言不美”的哲理。但在行為上，人們又時(shí)常背離這些古訓(xùn)，不愿意聽(tīng)或聽(tīng)不進(jìn)“逆耳”之言，”最終犯下嚴(yán)重的過(guò)失。
【參考譯文】
We tend to hear words pleasant to the ear but have displeasure and resentment at words harsh to the ear. A man, especially one occupying an important position, needs tolerance and magnanimity to lend an ear to truthful yet offensive words with heartfelt admiration so as to gain wisdom from them, and those qualities can be only cultivated through the nurturing of the soul and the restraint in human weaknesses. Otherwise, opportunities are exploited to the advantage of those with sweet words on the lips to tickle the ear of others, only to hurt those loyal people outspoken in their remarks.
Intellectually, we are probably willing to believe in the ancient truths that we’ ll be enlightened if we listen to both sides and we will be benighted if we heed only one side, that honest advice, though unpleasant to the ear, benefits conduct. Also, we are delightfully convinced of Laotzi’s philosophy that true words are not embellished and the embellished words are not true. However, in our behaviours, we tend to depart from those estabilished maxims, reluctant to accept and follow those uncomfortable truths until eventually grave errors are committed.
試題二：
中國(guó)古代圣人孔子曾說(shuō)過(guò)：“勞心者治人，勞力者治于人。”這句話反映了中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化中人的地位等級(jí)的劃分，也直接影響了人們對(duì)職業(yè)的選擇�，F(xiàn)代意義上的“白領(lǐng)階層”是讓人羨慕的對(duì)象，而“藍(lán)領(lǐng)階層”即使工資較高，仍有被人看不起的壓力。
在中國(guó)，還有另外一句流傳甚廣的話，叫做“無(wú)商不奸”，認(rèn)為商人“唯利是圖”，與君子重義輕利的追求背道而馳，所以在傳統(tǒng)文化中經(jīng)商是被人看不起的職業(yè)，但是，隨著社會(huì)主義市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展，從商“下海”已經(jīng)變成許多年輕人擇業(yè)時(shí)的第一選擇�，F(xiàn)代年輕人選擇職業(yè)時(shí)，已較少傳統(tǒng)的觀念，更具有現(xiàn)代意識(shí)。
【參考譯文】
Confucius, an ancient Chinese sage, said: “He who uses his brain will govern; he who uses his strength will be governed.” It is a reflection of the demarcation of status in traditional Chinese culture and a direct determiner of career-choosing in China. White collar workers, in modern sense for those using their brains, are the envy of the society while blue collar workers, working by using their strength, are under pressure of inferiority despite their high wages.
In China, there goes another saying that all merchants are liars. It is generally believed that business is a despised profession in traditional culture as businessmen are profit-oriented, which runs counter to what men of complete virtues should pursue, valuing justice above material gains. However, going into business has become the primary choice for youth in choosing a career, who have shed the shackles of tradition towards modern consciousness.
