英语六级翻译练习题附译文讲解

　　六级翻译练习题：打车难

　　六级翻译讲解：

　　1.打车难:可译为it's hard to take a taxi,作为problem的同位语，意义表达清楚自然。

　　2.增加了对出租车的需求:可译为make the demand for taxi rise。

　　3.为避免堵车影响收入:可灵活地译为to guarantee personal income。采用逆向译法，上下文反复出现“堵车”这个词，所以可以省略。

　　4.出租车行业不规范，拒载行为屡屡发生:这里是说明原因，为了句式简明，可以处理为动名词和独立主格的形式，直接充当句子主语。

　　5.人为因素:可译为human factor。

　　六级翻译参考译文：

　　It has been a common problem in large city residents' life that it's hard to take a taxi. The increase of urban population and diversification of social activities make the demand for taxi rise. As the traffic jam becomes worse in cities，to guarantee personal income, many taxi drivers refuse to drive on busy roads and main urban areas, which makes it difficult for many citizens to take a taxi near some transportation junctions, commercial centers and hospitals. City construction affects the efficiency of taxi. Being not standard in the taxi industry and taxi drivers' often refusing to take passengers are the human factors that make it difficult to take a taxi.

　　六级翻译练习题：助人为乐

　　助人为乐，是中华民族优良传统之一。通过“助人”，既向别人提供了帮助，又体现了一种自尊。帮助他人要摈弃私心杂念，不能处处为个人利益着想。遇事要多替别人考虑，主动伸手帮助那些需要帮助的人。做到助人为乐，要偷快面对生活，不能自寻烦恼。在帮助别人的同时，自己收获快乐，享受生活的乐趣。做到助人为乐，要积极行动起来，不能只说不做。要脚踏实地(be down-to-earth),热情周到地为他人服务，哪怕是简单的小事，也要从一点一滴做起。

　　六级翻译讲解：

　　1.体现了一种自尊:可译为express one kind of self-respect。

　　2.摈弃私心杂念:“摈弃”可译为give up，也可用abandon或get rid of表达。“私心杂念”可理解为“自私”，因此可简单译为selfishness。

　　3.主动伸手帮助那些需要帮助的人:可译为initiatively give a hand to those that need help。

　　4.自寻烦恼:可译为ask for trouble。ask for有“自找”的意思。
