上外英語專業(yè)八級閱卷總結(jié)

2010年3月23日—4月1日，全國英語專業(yè)八級閱卷工作在上海外國語大學(xué)進(jìn)行。今年全國參考考生共計(jì)189000余人，參加閱卷工作老師共220位，分聽寫、改錯(cuò)、英譯漢、漢譯英和寫作幾個(gè)組。首次采用計(jì)算機(jī)閱卷。

我院教師向洪全參加了其中的“英譯漢”部分閱卷，并特別就這一方面所發(fā)現(xiàn)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)得失與老師和同學(xué)們分享。

一、英譯漢評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)

總體評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)包括兩項(xiàng)：“譯文忠實(shí)性”與“語言適切性”。按滿分10分為比例，“譯文忠實(shí)性”計(jì)7分：極差0-1分，不合格2-3分，合格4-5分，良好5-6分，優(yōu)秀6-7分；“語言適切性”計(jì)3分：極差0分，合格1分，良好2分，優(yōu)秀3分。具體言之：

優(yōu)秀：能基本進(jìn)行詞語的正確翻譯（突破英語原文詞語的表層含義，實(shí)現(xiàn)指稱、語境、語體、搭配等多方面意義的對等）；有較強(qiáng)的翻譯轉(zhuǎn)移意識——能在不改變原意的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行恰當(dāng)?shù)姆g轉(zhuǎn)移（能對譯句進(jìn)行深層次的組構(gòu)，譯句能符合漢語句子的信息架構(gòu)和重量特點(diǎn)……）；語言流暢，用詞恰當(dāng)，符合漢語規(guī)范。

良好：能一定地進(jìn)行詞語的正確翻譯（突破英語原文詞語的表層含義，實(shí)現(xiàn)指稱、語境、語體、搭配等多方面意義的對等）；偶爾能體現(xiàn)出翻譯轉(zhuǎn)移意識——在不改變原意的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行一定的翻譯轉(zhuǎn)移（如對譯句進(jìn)行深層次的組構(gòu)，譯句能符合漢語句子的信息架構(gòu)和重量特點(diǎn)……）；語言較為流暢，用詞較為恰當(dāng)，符合漢語規(guī)范。

合格：尚能進(jìn)行詞語的翻譯，但多局限于指稱意義的翻譯，在語境、語體、搭配等意義的對等上有明顯不足；句義尚且忠實(shí)，但缺乏翻譯轉(zhuǎn)移意識，基本不能在不改變原意的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行恰當(dāng)?shù)姆g轉(zhuǎn)移；語言尚流暢，部分用詞不恰當(dāng)，出現(xiàn)漢語病句。

不合格：基本不能進(jìn)行詞語的翻譯，意思偏離嚴(yán)重；沒有翻譯轉(zhuǎn)移意識，機(jī)械式的對應(yīng)嚴(yán)重，或?qū)υ囊馑歼M(jìn)行篡改，或有明顯遺漏；語言別扭，用詞不妥，有較多漢語病句。

極差：不能進(jìn)行詞語的翻譯，沒有翻譯轉(zhuǎn)移意識，完全局限于機(jī)械式的對應(yīng)，或?qū)υ囊庾R進(jìn)行明顯篡改，或有大量遺漏；有相當(dāng)多的漢語語言失誤。

二、英譯漢答卷常見問題

（說明：因是為幫助讀者了解考生翻譯中存在的常見問題，以自我警覺，盡量少犯同樣錯(cuò)誤或提前思考應(yīng)對之策，故下面不談優(yōu)點(diǎn)，只列缺點(diǎn)或不足。）

1、全文理解偏頗。該文段實(shí)際上是描寫的一夢境片段，除其夢幻般的文辭外，有好幾處都有明確標(biāo)識。不過也許選文確實(shí)有些難度，幾乎少有考生真正讀明白。不過還好，這對翻譯不構(gòu)成大礙，頂多扣一些分?jǐn)?shù)，只要整體翻譯尚可。

2、文體風(fēng)格偏頗。全語篇以追憶夢境入筆，以緬懷思念逝去的孩子收束，是痛定之后的沉郁。其情靜澹而深切，其文多彩而沉穩(wěn)。除相當(dāng)?shù)目忌g筆蒼白，更有考生憑空添加諸如“巧的是”或感嘆詞“噢”等，嚴(yán)重扭曲原文情感基調(diào)。

3、詞語不認(rèn)識。其中既有普通詞匯亦有專有名詞。普通詞匯如cottage、exalt、solemnize、valley、interspace、meadow、lawn、hedge、tranquilly、cattle、repose等；專有名詞如Easter、Alpine等。前者表現(xiàn)出部分考生英語詞匯量之不足，后者則不僅是詞匯量的問題，也是文化知識缺失的問題。

4、詞語理解跳脫語境。單是“Right before me lay the very scene which could really be commanded from that situation…”一句，其中“right”、“l(fā)ay”、“command”、“situation”理解就千奇百異。

5、句子語法邏輯解析不明。如“there was interspace far larger between them of meadows and forest lawns…”，正常歸屬關(guān)系應(yīng)是“of meadows and forest lawns”是限定“interspace”的，而“between them”是嵌入狀語。英語作為一種形合語言，一句之中，各部分間關(guān)系處處有法可依，也有有形標(biāo)識可尋。但從試卷譯文來看，解析不清，理解不準(zhǔn)確的相當(dāng)普遍。

6、翻譯再生能力或經(jīng)驗(yàn)不足。從語言學(xué)層面講，翻譯是英漢差異的認(rèn)知、把握和轉(zhuǎn)換處理的過程。這就需要增減詞、轉(zhuǎn)性轉(zhuǎn)態(tài)、或拆或合、調(diào)整語序等技巧。從文化層面講，則涉及或歸化或異化的策略問題。而從文學(xué)角度看，則是一個(gè)如何運(yùn)用譯入語或曰目的語結(jié)構(gòu)、辭章、意象等，綜合考量源語所傳遞內(nèi)容和表達(dá)方式而予以再創(chuàng)造與重寫，以盡量求得等同效果。從試卷看，好些考生這樣的翻譯意識顯得很不夠。

7、漏譯。漏譯一般有三種可能，一是有地方不理解，故意略去；二是雖然理解，但漢語譯文里不知如何處理，故意略去；三是粗心，檢查時(shí)也不夠仔細(xì)。

8、粗心致錯(cuò)。最明顯的莫過于開篇第一句“I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May…”不止一位考生將“Sunday”譯為“星期六”、“星期五”什么的，“May”一詞也有錯(cuò)譯。相信這更多是考生緊張粗心所致，而非真的不認(rèn)識如此常用的詞語。

9、胡編濫造冒充翻譯。有考生英語理解力或翻譯能力大概是太差，于是乎洋洋灑灑自言自語“創(chuàng)作”。有的是干脆寫了自己學(xué)習(xí)英語的感想，并向閱卷老師問好，說感謝耐心看其廢話。

10、答錯(cuò)位置。有個(gè)別學(xué)生翻譯答錯(cuò)位置。本人閱英譯漢部分，估計(jì)遇到不下十份漢譯英卷子。好在閱卷場專門有處理這類試卷的機(jī)制，以免誤給這些考生0分。

11、時(shí)間安排不當(dāng)導(dǎo)致未譯完。閱卷時(shí)也遇到過如此情況，前面部分都翻譯很不錯(cuò)，但未到結(jié)尾，譯文戛然而止，連句號都沒來得及打。遇到這樣的譯文，不能不說是一大遺憾。

12、購買答案及抄襲。閱卷過程中，每天都會(huì)遇到一些雷同卷，估計(jì)多半是網(wǎng)上購得答案。結(jié)果自然是以作弊卷論處。

13、中文水平見差。好些譯文僅得其意，文采幾乎全無。有的被原文牽制，或因某些理解偏頗而更致牽強(qiáng)，隨便一讀也知道國人沒這樣說話的。中文靈動(dòng)、簡短的句法，習(xí)慣的重心、語序，整飭的格結(jié)構(gòu)等，被英文靜態(tài)化的語言和繁復(fù)的文法拖累得遍體鱗傷。這一方面可歸咎于不懂得翻譯之道——再創(chuàng)造而非被動(dòng)模仿，但更主要原因則可能在于，外語學(xué)生中文功夫普遍欠缺。這是我們大多學(xué)外語的同學(xué)的致命傷——外遇不見得學(xué)好，母語亦落了個(gè)慘不忍睹。這也許不該歸咎于學(xué)生個(gè)人，而應(yīng)問一問我們外語教育如何改進(jìn)。

末了，提幾點(diǎn)建議給學(xué)習(xí)外語的小同胞們，一、多讀原典，提升英文理解力；

二、雙語比較，掌握英漢語言差異；

三、勤加練習(xí)，熟練運(yùn)用各種翻譯技巧和策略；

四、多讀中文作品，夯實(shí)漢語語言文化基礎(chǔ)；五?做人務(wù)求誠信。

另外是關(guān)于八級考試翻譯建議，首先保證原文理解正確，英譯漢避免理解錯(cuò)誤的硬傷（如果是漢譯英，寧可語句簡單，盡量少犯語法錯(cuò)誤）。

1、英譯漢原文

I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May, that it was Easter Sunday, and as yet very early in the morning.I was standing at the door of my own cottage.Right before me lay the very scene which could really be commanded from that situation, but exalted, as was usual, and solemnized by the power of dreams.There were the same mountains, and the same lovely valley at their feet;but the mountains were raised to more than Alpine height, and there was interspace far larger between them of meadows and forest lawns;the hedges were rich with white roses;and no living creature was to be seen, except that in the green church-yard there were cattle tranquilly reposing upon the graves, and particularly round about the grave of a child, whom I had tenderly loved, just as I had really seen them, a little before sunrise in the same summer, when that child died.（作者Thomas De Quincey，節(jié)選自Confessions of an English Opium Eater，1821。選作考題時(shí)略有修改。）

2、未修改原文

I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May, that it was Easter Sunday, and as yet very early in the morning.I was standing, as it seemed to me, at the door of my own cottage.Right before me lay the very scene which could really be commanded from that situation, but exalted, as was usual, and solemnized by the power of dreams.there were the same mountains, and the same lovely valley at their feet;but the mountains were raised to more than Alpine height, and there was interspace far larger between them of meadows and forest lawns;the hedges were rich with white roses;and no living creature was to be seen excepting that in the green churchyard there were cattle tranquilly reposing upon the verdant graves, and particularly round about the grave of a child whom I had tenderly loved, just as I had really beheld them, a little before sunrise in the same summer, when that child died.3、楊自伍譯文

我想起來了，那是五月間一個(gè)禮拜天的清晨，那一天是復(fù)活節(jié)星期日，一大早天才蒙蒙亮?；谢秀便敝?，我站在自家小屋的門口。就在我的面前展現(xiàn)出了那么一番景色，從我那個(gè)位置其實(shí)能夠盡收眼底，可是由于夢幻的力量，它顯得超凡出塵，一派肅穆氣象，夢里的感覺往往如此。叢山依舊，山麓令人神往的幽谷依舊；不過群山挺然參天，高于阿爾卑斯峰，諸山相距空曠，豐草如茵，林地開闊，錯(cuò)落其間；樹籬上的白玫瑰娟娟彌望；遠(yuǎn)近看不見任何

生物，唯有蒼翠的教堂庭院里，牛群靜靜地臥躺在那片郁郁蔥蔥的墓地歇息，好幾頭圍繞著一個(gè)小孩的墳?zāi)梗以鴮λ磺蝗崆?，那年夏天是在旭日東升的前一刻，那孩子死去了，我如同當(dāng)年那樣望著牛群。（見楊自伍主編《英國文化選本》，華東師范大學(xué)出版社，1996年。）

旅游高峰中國旅游景點(diǎn)是否該高收費(fèi)

Nowadays, with the quick development of economy, we are embracing a tourism boom in China.More and more people want to spend their holidays in some famous tourism attractions and get themselves relaxed.Under this circumstance, whether the price of admission tickets in scenic spots should be charged high becomes a heated topic.In my opinion, the tickets price should be set at an affordable level for most of Chinese people and should not be too expensive, and the following are my reasons: First of all, all the natural and cultural tourism attractions are heritages which belong to the whole Chinese people, as a result, every citizen should have equal access to these spots.And affordable tickets price is a guarantee for this basic right.If the ticket price is too expensive, it actually means that the citizens who have lower income are deprived of their right to these places of interest.Secondly, tourism can make an important contribution to economic development, since tourism can create employment opportunities and boost the local economy.In this regard, affordable tickets price will help to attract more visitors and better finance the local economy as well as finance the protection of cultural and natural heritage.The last but not least, tourism helps to keep traditions alive and increase visitor appreciation of the natural and cultural heritage, which will give them a sense of national pride.Hence, affordable tickets price will provide this chance for most Chinese people instead of just the rich ones, and this is beneficial to the whole nation.All in all, affordable tickets price in scenic spots is beneficial to both the development of tourism and the development of local and national economy, and it is a wise decision to set the tickets price at an affordable level.

Is sound social environment good to the development of people

When it comes to the relationship of environment and people to be good to others, different men often see the same object in different lights.Some people

that our current society provides a “bad environment” for good

people doing good things, and it is surely that a sound social environment is necessary, while others do not think so.Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture, but nowadays many people dare not offer help to those in need, for fear of getting into trouble.The issue has aroused public debate over the climate of morality and credibility, and many people sigh over the moral degeneration.In my opinion, while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, each individual should try his or her best to do good deeds and be sympathetic with others, instead of waiting for the environment to improve.There is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions, so people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits.some people even wonder, ?Is our society hostile to good people?? The question may sound ridiculous but many believe

people apparently think so.They believe that our current society provides a bad environment for good people doing good things, and good people pay a high price for being compassionate.In fact, such kind of things only accounts for a pretty small percentage, but massive media coverage makes the situation seem serious.Actually, most people around me are kind, warm-hearted and helpful, and I am quite delighted in their company.So I believe media should pay more attention to publicizing good people and exemplary deeds to enhance our confidence, rather than exposing disgusting behaviors.At the same time, as John Donne puts it, “No man is an island, entire of itself.Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” Since everyone of us is a component of the society, it is each individual?s conducts that form social morality.Just imagine it is you who need help, what would you feel if everyone watches indifferently or suspiciously? So, put yourself in other?s position and be sympathetic.If we do nothing but wait for the environment to improve, nothing will happen.Only by removing the fence around our kind consciousness can we reverse the regress of social ethics, and make our world full of warmth and happiness.Therefore, if help is needed, never hesitate to lend a helping hand.It will make you happy and feel better about life.In sum, I contend the idea that while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, it is each individual?s responsibility to offer help to those in need, and together we build up a more harmonious society.Is sound social environment good to the development of peopleWith the great influence of globalization and rapid development of technology, our work and life has become more and more convenient.In the past few years, our economy has maintaining a high rapid development and to our astonishment, our GDP ranked second all over the world last year.The whole country in general is enjoying a peace and prosperity.However, to some extent, standards of morality are now dropping fast.One of the famous cases recently is that a girl dropped into the manhole and lost because someone who has stolen the manhole covers, which is definitely a tragic for all of the people in our country.Such cases lead heated discussion of the moral consciousness.Is a sound social environment necessary for people to have moral standards and be good to others? As far as I am concerned, I am strongly in support of this view.For one thing, a sound environment is indeed essential for providing an energetic living condition, as we all know, environment plays a vital role in our self-development as every one is a member of the

society in which one is supposed to take part in various activities frequently and cannot escape the influence of it.To me, a sound environment means fair justice, sincere communication, orderly society and harmonious relationship between man and nature in which people can treat each other heart and soul.For another, under a favorable social environment, we are expected to share a stable job, harmonious family and wonderful working atmosphere, thus we have adequate time and energy to learn and enhance the quality of life.With the wide spread of civilization, one will have the awareness of improving their basic essence and trust and good quality will be greatly advocated among the whole society.In this way, there will be no fighting, no cheating and filled with kindness and love.All in all, a positive environment will enable the majority to be a moral citizen.Everyone is suggested to learn to self-management and cultivate a good sense of morality.Striving for an aim of being a noble person and make a contribution to build a stable and prosperous society.
