试题和参考答案

 

46he opines (命题专家改写为believes)that this very difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long and intently about every sentence, and thus enabling him to detect errors in reasoning and in his own observations,

他相信,正是这种困难或许能够扬长避短,以使他能长时间专注的思考每一个句子;因此,使他能在推理中和自己的观察中发现自己的缺点。

47 He protested(命题专家改写为asserts, also, that his power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought was very limited, for which reason he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with metaphysics or(命题专家把这两个单词给删除了,使试题不超出大)mathematics.

他还断言,在深入理解冗长且完全抽象的一系列观点上,他的能力受到了局限。有鉴于此,他曾深信自己在数学方面本来就不该获得成功。

48 On the other hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning.

另一方面,批评家指责他尽管善于观察,但却不能推理,对此,他并不接受且认为毫无依据。

49He adds humbly that perhaps he was "superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully."

他谦卑地补充道,或许他和普通人比起来,更能够注意到那些别人不容易注意到的细节,更能够对此加以详细地观察

50Darwin was convinced that the loss of these tastes was not only a loss of happiness, but might possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character, (命题专家改写后截止于此,原文本段落未完)

达尔文认为,失去对音乐和绘画方面的兴趣,不仅失去了幸福,而且还可能损伤智力,甚至可能会伤害道德。

08年考研翻译试题详细分析

 

该试题来源于Mayo W. Hazeltine写的一篇关于“达尔文在现代科学中的地位”的评论。原文长达8686个英语词。经过命题专家的改编之后,成为了一篇经典的考研翻译文章。上面给出的是原文和试题的简单比对(上面英语句子中括号注明的是命题专家是如何改写原文,变成试题的),以及我给的一个比较合理的译文。试题难度和近几年难度保持一致。

 

五个句子所考查的单词和句型结构都是我们在课堂上分析过,并且在历年真题中重复过多次的。这就刚好印证了新东方一直在课堂上给大家灌输的“真题至上”的复习原则,以及我后来在刻意的研究中发现的所谓的“复习考研翻译的奥秘——完全掌握真题中的每一个单词和句型,因为考研翻译单词和句型综是不断的闪现和重复考察”。下面一一分析如下:

 

一、单词部分:

Compensating9575题考过,

advantage9065题中考过,

force200073题考过,

detect9873题考过,

observation0262题中考过,

assertargueconvincebelievepoint out这种类型的单词,是我在所有强化班上讲过的,属于论述性文章中引用别人观点必须要用的动词,

follow这个单词在0274题中考过其中的一个意思,但是“理解”这个意思没有考过,

abstract0365题考过,

reasonreasoningreasonedreasonable这类单词考过无数次,课堂上,我也说过无数次,

critics这个单词在9571
