a prevailing trend for some individuals or organizations to rank universities. Taking a look around, we can find examples too many to list. To this phenomenon people’s attitudes differ sharply.Some hold the positive view. They claim that ranking universities can help high school graduates or their parents to make a sound choice when enrolling in a university or college. Besides, this practice can help promote the level of higher education as a whole in that many universities will exert efforts to elevate their position.Others, however, hold the opposite view. They point out that the result of ranking is not always credible, for many individuals or institutions do it merely for the purpose of colleting money. Furthermore, some universities overemphasize the result of ranking and waste large amounts of resources.Personally, I believe that we should not go to extremes. On the one hand, it must be admitted that ranking is an effective means to encourage universities or colleges to pete with each other and improve their work. On the other hand, it should not be conducted and used in the wrong way.二、翻譯l 解題技巧翻譯是很多考生選擇放棄的題型,因?yàn)樗旁谠囶}最后,建議時(shí)間只有5分鐘,分值只占5%。其實(shí)這樣做是挺可惜的,因?yàn)榉g的評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)比大部分同學(xué)想象的要寬松的多。以2009年6月的翻譯真題第一題為例:82. With the oil prices ever rising, she tried to talk _________________________ (說(shuō)服他不買(mǎi)車(chē)).評(píng)分時(shí)給出的滿(mǎn)分答案有四種:1. him out of buying cars2. to him an persuade him not to buy the car3. to him in order to persuade him not to buy a car4. him into giving up buying a car當(dāng)然,出題人希望考生給出的是第一種,或者說(shuō)該題考點(diǎn)是talk sb. out of doing sth. 這一搭配。但能寫(xiě)出后三種答案也照樣得滿(mǎn)分,因?yàn)樗鼈円捕纪暾乇磉_(dá)了原文的意思,而且沒(méi)有語(yǔ)法和拼寫(xiě)錯(cuò)誤。所以大家不要放棄翻譯,只要用自己會(huì)的詞充分表達(dá)了原文的意思,就有可能得分,甚至得滿(mǎn)分。具體來(lái)說(shuō),像寫(xiě)作一樣,翻譯也分為三步:(一)理解即通讀并透徹理解原文含義,包括理解出題人想考察的語(yǔ)法或搭配。語(yǔ)法如虛擬語(yǔ)氣、倒裝、不定式、分詞、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞、各種從句等等;搭配如動(dòng)賓搭配、介賓搭配等等。(二)翻譯確定譯文句子的時(shí)態(tài)、句型、結(jié)構(gòu)和用詞。實(shí)在無(wú)法準(zhǔn)確猜出出題人的意向,就用解釋的方法寫(xiě)出答案。(三)審校首先檢查譯文是否正確地轉(zhuǎn)述了原文內(nèi)容,是否有錯(cuò)譯和漏譯;其次,檢查是否有語(yǔ)言上的明顯錯(cuò)誤,如時(shí)態(tài)、語(yǔ)態(tài)、單復(fù)數(shù)、拼寫(xiě)、大小寫(xiě)、標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號(hào)等。發(fā)現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤,及時(shí)改正。翻譯沖刺方略要備考翻譯,還是需要做比較多細(xì)致的工作的。首先,大家應(yīng)該重視語(yǔ)法結(jié)構(gòu)和句型??梢酝ㄟ^(guò)做我們給的語(yǔ)法專(zhuān)項(xiàng)練習(xí)來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)。有語(yǔ)法的盲點(diǎn)應(yīng)該通過(guò)練習(xí)和查閱語(yǔ)法書(shū)即使掃清。其次,應(yīng)該重視搭配。記單詞的時(shí)候要養(yǎng)成記搭配的習(xí)慣,尤其對(duì)于動(dòng)詞來(lái)說(shuō)要這樣。大家最好能夠了解到《大學(xué)英語(yǔ)課程教學(xué)要求》里面所規(guī)定的搭配,如09年6月第一題里考到的talk sb. out of doing 。當(dāng)然這并不夠因?yàn)橄褚酝歼^(guò)的deprive sb. of sth. 這樣基本的重要搭配在《大學(xué)英語(yǔ)課程教學(xué)要求》里面又找不到,所以還需要大家自己在背單詞的時(shí)候盡可能多記一些搭配。附:2010年12月六級(jí)翻譯:82.
