英语四级翻译积累训练5

　　林小枫本科毕业，她丈夫宋建平硕士毕业。就是说，都具有着成为知本家的基本要素。但不知为什么，他们的进步水准，永远比时下的高水准要慢着两拍。就那么两拍，不会更多，但似乎永远也难以赶上。那状况很像网上所调侃的：到他们可以吃猪肉的时候，人家开始吃生猛海鲜;到他们可以吃生猛海鲜的时候，人家开始吃糠咽菜。要是他们压根儿就没有可能成为那优秀一群中的一员，倒也罢了，像街边的清洁工、像乡下的老农民，他们肯定会安之若素心如止水;但当他们"有"而"不能"时，就不能不感到痛苦。

　　【答案解析】

　　答案：

　　Lin Xiaofeng graduated form college and her husband Song Jianping graduated with a Master's degree.That is to say,they both have fundamental elements of becoming intellectuals.But we don't know why their progress level would always fall behind the present high level by several steps.It is just several steps,no more,but it seems that they never would catch up.That situation is very much alike something rudiculed online:when they can have the pork meat,everybody starts to eat the sea food;when they can enjoy the sea food,everybody starts to have the simple vegetables.It was ok thay they have no chance to be parts of that excellent group,just like the cleaning people on the street,the old farmers in the countryside,who would definitely bear it with equanimity;but when they have the ability while they can't,they can not stop feeling pains.

　　分析:

　　“安之若素”与“心如止水”的意思相同，可以只译一个，译为bear with equanimity。

　　英语四级翻译积累训练二：

　　家长们对学前教育期望值过高，导致了托儿所费用的水涨船高。很多父母均认同这样一种看法：如今每个家庭都是一个孩子，于是一些托儿所利用家长“望子成龙”(“望女成凤”)的心态，“投其所好”，想方设法推出各种名目的学前教育计划和培养目标，无形中，也大大增加了家长的投入。

　　【答案解析】

　　答案：

　　Parents' overestimate to the preshcool education leads to the rising charges of nursery schools accordingly.Many parents believe the fact that each family has only one child,parents simply hope their son or daughter become somebody in the future,therefore,some nursery schools cater to these parents' thought and introduce various kinds of perschool plans and fostering objectives which add virtually to the parents' financial burden.

　　分析:

　　家长们对学前教育期望值过高，导致了托儿所费用的水涨船高。

　　如果把“家长们对学前教育期望值过高”翻译成一个句子，那就会造成句子比较松散，因此这里处理成名词结构，作主语: Parents' overestimate to the preshcool education.同时注意“水涨船高”的意思是“相应的增长”，因此译成: rising charges of nursery schools accordingly。
