英语四级翻译模拟练习10

　　【答案解析】

　　Harmony

　　Harmony is derived from the inner heart of people.Wholesome personality and sound mentality are concerned not only with the harmony of individual's mind and body,but also with the social harmony and stability.A mentally disturbed and imbalanced person infatuated with anxiety ,oppression or even hatred tends to make things difficult for himself and also finds it difficult to get along with his surroundings,it is impossible to have harmony in his life.Only a calm mind can ensure an even temper;and only the inner harmony can make one get along smoothly.Therefore,we should think with a calm mind,with more rationality and less sensitivity,more wit and less confusion,more calmness and less fickleness,more indifference and less obsession,more generosity and less prejudice.

　　分析:

　　一个内心失调、失衡的人，一个心中充溢着焦躁、郁闷甚至仇恨的人，往往自己会同自己过不去，还会同周围环境过不去，人生是无法和谐得起来的。

　　本句很长，如果译成一个句子，会造成英文太过于复杂，因此把同前面的意思衔接不是很紧密的部分“人生是无法和谐得起来的”另起一句。同时注意“同自己过不去”的翻译方法，译成“make things difficult for himself”。

　　英语四级翻译模拟练习二：

　　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。
