1、专业英语八级(翻译)模拟试卷 63及答案与解析 SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese. 1 The most notable surface fact about “ The Waste Land“ is of course its extreme disconnection. I do not know just how many parts the poem is supposed to have, but to me there are something li
2、ke fifty parts which offer no bridges the one to the other and which are quite distinct in time, place, action, persons, tone and nearly all the unities to which art is accustomed. This discreteness reaches also to the inside of the parts, where it is indicated by a frequent want of grammatical join
3、ts and marks of punctuation; as if it were the function of art to break down the usual singleness of the artistic image, and then to attack the integrity of the individual fragments. I presume that poetry has rarely gone further in this direction. It is a species of the same error which modern write
4、rs of fiction practice when they laboriously disconnect the stream of consciousness and present items which do not enter into wholes. Evidently they think with Hume that reality is facts and pluralism, not compounds and systems. But Mr. Eliot is more enterprising than they, because almost in so many
5、 words he assails the philosophical or cosmical principles under which we form the usual images of reality, naming the whole phantasmagoria Waste Land almost as plainly as if he were naming cosmos Chaos. His intention is evidently to present a wilderness in which both he and the reader may be bewild
6、ered, in which one is never to see the wood for the trees. 2 It is often said that, provided we are not of the unfortunate minority of people who have pathological language defects, our language mechanism automatically equips us to say anything we need to say. This does not mean that I can talk abou
7、t all the technicalities of company law or of central heating with the glibness of a solicitor or a plumber. What it does mean is that if my job or my hobby entailed knowledge of these activities, my language would rise to the occasion. We thus have the general truth that any normal person has the l
8、anguage tools to handle anything he needs to handle. But there are odd little exceptions. Let us consider, for instance, forms of address to strangers. Quite often we need to draw a persons attention to something that has just dropped out of pocket or handbag, or to the fact that he is just going to
9、 walk into a plate glass door. Not merely does English lack anything corresponding to the French attention, but we do not have the equivalent of Msieur or Madame or even Mademoiselle. 3 Mr. Starr is too good a historian to offer any pat explanation; instead, he concentrates on the extraordinary arra
10、y of people and events that have led from the mythical land of Queen Calafia, through the rule of Spain and Mexico, and on to the governorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger. What other state in America would have elected an iron-pumping film star with an Austrian accent? Moreover, he does so with such el
11、egance and humor that his book is a joy to read. What emerges is not all Californian sunshine and light. Think back to the savage violence that accompanied the 1849 Gold Rush; or to the exclusion orders against the Chinese; or to the riots that regularly marked industrial and social relations in San
12、 Francisco. California, it should be remembered, was very much the wild west, having to wait until 1850 before it could force its way to statehood. So what tamed it? Mr. Starrs answer is a combination of great men, great ideas and great projects. He emphasizes the development of Californias infrastr
13、ucture: the extraordinary system of aqueducts and canals that transferred water from the north of the state to the arid south; the development of agriculture; the spread of the railroads and freeways; and, perhaps the most important factor for todays hi-tech California, the creation of a superb set
14、of public universities. 4 One virtue of this book is its structure. Mr. Starr is never trapped by his chronological framework. Instead, when the subject demands it, he manages deftly to flit back and forth among the decades. Less satisfying is his account of Californias cultural progress in the 19th
15、 and 20th centuries: does he really need to invoke so many long-forgotten writers to accompany such names as Jack London, Frank Norris, Mark Twain or Raymond Chandler? But that is a minor criticism for a book that will become a California classic. The regret is that Mr. Starr, doubtless pressed for
16、space, leaves so little roomjust a brief final chapterfor the implications of the past for Californias future. He poses the question that most Americans prefer to gloss over: is California governable? “For all its impressive growth, there remains a volatility in the politics and governance of Califo
17、rnia, which became perfectly clear to the rest of the nation in the fall of 2003 when the voters of California recalled one governor and elected another. 5 Ernest Hemingway (18991961) : one of the best known and most influential American novelists and short-story writers. All his life Hemingway was
