2016年英语四级翻译模拟练习:毕业后结婚
越来越多来自北京、上海、广州、沈阳和其他一些大城市的大学生选择毕业后就结婚。这与20世纪80年代和90年代的情况形成了鲜明的对比,那时候很多城市的年轻人都推迟结婚,直到他们的年龄“足够大”—在30多岁甚至40多岁的时候。许多人花时间寻找有着良好的经济背景或好看的相貌的配偶,而不是寻找爱情。然而,这些选择毕业后就结婚的学生的父母必须照顾这些小夫妻的日常起居,因为这些年轻人仍然在探索如何作为一家人来生活。
参考译文:

2016年英语四级翻译模拟练习:留守儿童
大多数时候,留守儿童(leftover children)的问题很大程度上源于缺乏父母的情感关怀。通常,孩子由祖父母或父母的朋友、亲戚照顾。在大多数情况下,他们的监护人(guardian)没有受过很好的教育。对他们来说,确保孩子健康、吃得好是极重要的任务。只要孩子平安无事,他们就被认为做得很好了。监护人很少关心孩子的学习、心理需求或精神需求。他们也不花时间教孩子如何养成良好的习惯。
参考译文:
Most of the time, problems of the leftover children largely arise from a lack of emotional care from their parents. Usually, the children's grandparents or their parent's friends or relatives look after these children. In most cases, their guardians are not well educated. To them,making sure that the children are healthy and fed well is the most important task. As long as the children are safe and sound,they are considered to have done a good job. Guardians seldom care about children's study,psychological needs, or mental demands. Neither do they spend some time to teach kids how to develop good habits.
