2021年大学英语六级翻译模拟试题及答案（卷九）

题号 得分 一 二 三 四 五 六 总分 请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

受到中国经济内部动力(dynamics)和外来压力的共同影响，人民币近几年来不断升值(appreciate)。内部影响主要有中国物价水平、通货膨胀状况、经济增长状况以及利率水平，外部影响主要来自发达国家施加的压力，尤其是日本和美国。人民币升值会增加人民币的购买力，扩大国内消费者对进口产品的需求，还可以减轻进口能源和原料的成本负担。但它会影响国内金融市场的稳定，使出口产品的成本上升，从而降低中国产品在国际市场上的竞争力。 参考翻译:

Influenced jointly by internal dynamics of Chinese economy and external pressures, RMB has appreciated constantly in recent years. The internal influences mainly include China's price level, the situations of inflation and economic growth, as well as interest rate level, while the external influences mainly come from the pressures exerted by developed countries, Japan and America in particular. The appreciation of RMB will not only increase its purchasing power and expand domestic consumers' demands for imported goods, but also alleviate the cost burden of imported energies and raw materials .However, it may affect the stability of the domestic financial market and raise the cost of

exported products, which would reduce the competitive power of Chinese products in the global market.

1.第一句“人民币近几年来不断升值”，时态要采用现在完成时，表示已经发生并且还在持续。“受到的共同影响”可采用过去分词作状语，译为influenced jointly by...。

2.第二句由两部分组成，第一部分叙述内部影响，第二部分叙述外部影响，可用while进行连接，表示对比。修饰“压力”的定语“来自发达国家施加的”较长，可后置用过去分词exerted by developed countries表取;也可译为定语从句which are exerted by...。

3.在“人民币升值会增加…能源和原料的成本负担”中，主语为“人民币升值”，谓语动词有三个：“增加”“扩大”和“减轻”，可以用not only... but also...衔接，体现隐含的递进关系。

4.最后一句由三个分句组成，其中“从而降低…”可以理解成前面内容造成的结果，因此在翻译时可以将此层逻辑关系表达出来，用which引导的非限制性定语从句补充说明结果。 请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

丝绸之路(the Silk Road)是中国古代最著名的贸易路线。在这条路上运输的商品中，丝绸占很大部分，因此得名“丝绸之路”。丝绸之路起点始于长安。终点远达印度、罗马等国家。丝绸之路从汉代开始形成，到唐代达到鼎盛，骆驼曾是丝绸之路上的主要交通工具。中国的造纸、印刷等伟大发明通过这条路传播到了西方，而佛教等宗教也被引入中国。丝绸之路不仅仅是古代国际贸易路线，更是连接亚洲、

非洲、欧洲的文化桥梁。 参考译文：

The Silk Road is the most well-known trade route in ancient China. It got its name because silk comprised a large proportion of commodities transported along this road. The Silk Road extended from Chang'an to countries as far as India and Rome. It came into being during the Han Dynasty and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty. With camels being the major means of transportation, great inventions in China, such as paper-making and printing were spread to the Western world along this road and religions like Buddhism were also introduced to China. The Silk Road was not only an ancient international trade route, but also a cultural bridge linking Asia with Africa and Europe. 酒文化

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

在中国，酒(white spirit)作为一种特殊的文化形式，有着5000多年的历史。确 超所著的《杯里春秋》(The Spring and Autumn in the Cup)—书认为，喝酒有点像学问，而不是大吃大喝。中国历史上有很多关于酒的故事。唐代伟大诗人李白可以“斗酒诗百篇”，喝得越多，他的诗就作得越好。在中国民俗中，酒有着极其重要的地位。不论是君王还是平民，都用烈酒(spirit)庆祝各个节日、婚礼、生日聚会， 纪念逝者，为亲友接风或送行，庆贺好消息，摆脱焦虑和治疗疾病以求长寿。

参考译文:

White spirit，as a special form of Chinese culture ,has a history of more than 5,000 years. According to the book The Spring and Autumn in the Cup by Lin Chao，white spirit drinking is something of learning rather than eating and drinking. There are many stories about white spirit in Chinese history. The great poet Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty could “write 100 poems after drinking white spirit”，and the more white spirit he drank, the better his poem would be. White spirit plays an extremely important role in Chinese folk custom. Spirits are used to celebrate different festivals，wedding ceremonies and birthday parties，to memorize the departed，to welcome and send off relatives and friends, to congratulate the good news and to get rid of anxiety，to cure diseases and prolong life，both for emperors and ordinary people.

3.斗酒诗百篇:即“喝完酒后能写100首诗”，可译为write100 poems after drinking white spirit。

4.有着极其重要的地位:可译为plays an extremely important role in…

5.各个节日、婚礼、生日聚会:可译为different festivals，wedding ceremonies and birthday parties。

6.为亲友接风或送行:“接风”即“欢迎”，故此处可译为welcome and send off relatives and friends。其中send off意为“送行”，也可用 see sb off 为某人送行”。 请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

在网上看电视节目已经成为中国城市上班族日常生活的一部分。譬如说在上海，许多白领会午休时在桌子上看他们最爱的电视节目，而乘地铁回家时候也要看，甚至走在熙熙攘攘的人行道上还要看。目前，管理部门正计划限制网上的国外娱乐产品。对网上外国节目内容审查有多严格，目前还不清楚。但监管部门呼吁要有展现良好价值观的健康，精良的作品。 译文参考：

In Shanghai, for example, many office workers watch their favorite TV shows at their desks during lunch-hours, on the metro on the way home, or even while walking on the city's crowded pavements.

在中国人们见面时喜欢问：“你去哪儿?”或“你吃了吗?”大多数时候人们并非真正想知道你要去哪里或吃饭了没有。实际上那只是一种打招呼的方式。与西方的风俗相似，当你与—个陌生人开始交谈

For most of the time, they do not really want to know where you are going to or whether you have eaten or not. Actually, that is just a way to greet each other. Similar to western customs, when you start talking with a stranger, topics such as weather, food or hobby may be good choices to break the ice. You should be cautious when you ask private questions. But a chat about one's hometown or job can usually go on smoothly.

火锅中，重庆火锅(hotpot)最著名，也最受欢迎。重庆人认为以麻辣 (peppery and hot)著称的火锅是当地特色。人们喜欢围在用木炭(charcoal)、 电热或天然气加热的火锅旁边吃边聊美味和有营养的食物。人们可以选择辣汤、清汤以及鸳鸯(combo)锅底，再将肉片、鱼片、各种豆腐产品和蔬菜加进火锅，之后蘸上特制酱料即可食用。在寒冷的冬天里，吃火锅成为一件惬意十足的事情。 参考翻译:

中囯政府宣布每年的8月8日为“全民健身日”(National Fitness Day)，推动全民健身。这一举动不仅在全国范围内普及了健康理念，

还使人们锻炼的方式更加多样化。每天早晨，喜欢户外运动的老年人会聚集(congregate)在公园里锻炼身体，如打太极拳(tai chi)、跳彩带舞(ribbon dancing)等。公园里那些低冲击力的公共健身器材和新鲜的空气十分适合他们。相反，年轻人则发起了一股室内健身热潮。比起户外活动，他们更喜欢选择华丽的健身房。在他们看来，健身房既时尚又充满动感。 参考译文：

手机是我们生活不可或缺的一部分。这个小玩意儿的便利使得它成为世界上增长最快的技术产品，它从一个80年代的奢侈品，成为21世纪的必备品。但是我们变得依赖手机，甚至觉得，没有手机我们就活不下去。我们完全沉迷在短信、电话、与那些离我们很远的人的交流中，却忽视了就在我们眼前的人。许多青少年和年轻人疏远了那些爱他们的人，因为他们忙于创建和维护网络上的友谊。 译文参考：

Cell phones are an integral part of our life today. The convenience of

this little gadget is what makes it the world' s fastest growing technological device, going from a luxury in the 1980s to a must-have in the 21st century.

Many teens and young adults grow distant from those who love them because they are consumed with creating and maintaining cyber friendships.

University students in Beijing,Shanghai,Guangzhou,Shenyang and some other big cities are increasingly choosing to get married right after

graduating.This is in sharp contrast to the situation in the 1980s and 1990s when many urban youngsters put off marriage until they were “old enough”一in their 30s or even 40s.Many spent their time looking for spouses with good economic backgrounds or attractive faces,instead of looking for love.However,parents of these students choosing to get married right after graduating have to take care of the couples' daily affairs,as the young people are still figuring out how to live as a family. 公益广告(public service advertisement)指为社会公众的利益和社会风尚服务的广告。它不以盈利为目的，属于非商业性广告，是社会公益事业(cause of the public good)的重要组成部分。公益广告的主题一般取材于老百姓的日常生活，如健康、安全和环保等。目的是提高公众的道德意识，改变公众对社会问题的态度。中国最早的公益广告出现在1986年。随后，公益广告的社会影响力逐渐增强。去年,中央电视台举办了首次电视公益广告大赛，呼吁社会各界关注并参与公益事业。 参考翻译:

Public service advertisement refers to the advertisement that serves the interests of the public and social fashion.

The themes of public service advertisements generally come from the daily life of ordinary people, such as health, safety and environment protection.Its objectives are raising public awareness of

ethics and changing public attitudes towards social issues. The earliest public service advertisement in China appeared in 1986. From then on, its social influence heightened gradually.
