专业英语八级历年翻译真题试题及答案

一、问答题 （共10题，共100分）

1.汉译英;但是正如其他许多已经发生过的事情一样，当他们最终结

婚后， 发现最憧憬的生活变得再实际不过了。他们非但没有分担各

自原先的责任--- 正如那些学生们所说 " 一半一半 " ，相反却发现

生活的重担加倍了。 这使得我们那两个结婚的朋友时常觉得沮丧;

他们突然发现自己并没有过着天堂般的生活而是仍实实在在地生活

在地球上，而且成为了新规则和新约束的奴隶。生活并没有比以前更

自由、更幸福，因为他们要去承担新的责任。 既然成立了一个新的

家庭， 那就无论如何也要尽一点家庭的义务。 他们深情地回想起订

婚的那段时光， 曾经如此地渴望拥有彼此而忘掉这个世界，然而现

在最深切的感受却是自己仍是这个世界的一份子。

2.汉译英;我想不起来哪一个熟人没有手机。今天没有手机的人是奇

怪的，这种人才需要解释。我们的所有社会关系都储存在手机的电话

本里，可以随时调出使用。古代只有巫师才能拥有这种法宝。

3.汉译英：流逝，表现了南国人对时间最早的感觉。“子在川上曰，

逝者如斯夫。”他们发现无论是潺潺小溪，还是浩荡大河，都一去不

复返，流逝之际青年变成了老翁而绿草转眼就枯黄，很自然有错阴的

紧迫感。 流逝也许是缓慢的，但无论如何缓慢，对流逝的恐惧使人

们必须用“流逝”这个词来时时警戒后人， 必须急匆匆地行动，给

这个词灌注一种紧张感。

4.汉译英：茶 花(camellia)的自然花期在 12 月至翌年 4 月，以

红色系为主，另有黄色系和白色系等，花色艳丽。本届花展充分展示

了茶花的品种资源和科研水平，是近三年来本市规模最大的一届茶花

展。为了使广大植物爱好者有更多与茶花亲密接触的机会，本届茶花

展的布展范围延伸至整个园区，为赏花游客带来便利。此次茶花展历

时2个月，展期内 200 多个茶花品种将陆续亮相。

5.汉译英：生活就像一杯红酒， 热爱生活的人会从其中品出无穷无

尽的美妙。将它握在手中仔细观察， 它的暗红色中有血的感觉， 那

正是生命的痕迹。抿一口留在口中回味， 它的甘甜中有一丝苦涩， 如

人生一般复杂迷离。喝一口下肚，余香沁人心脾，让人终身受益。红

酒越陈越美味，生活越丰富越美好。当人生走向晚年，就如一瓶待开

封的好酒，其色彩是沉静的，味道中充满慷慨与智慧。

6.汉译英：现代社会无论价值观的持有还是生活方式的选择都充满

了矛盾。而最让现代人感到尴尬的是，面对重重矛盾，许多时候你别

无

7.汉译英：朋友之间，情趣相投、脾气对味则合、则交，反之，则

离、则绝。朋友之间再熟悉、 再亲密，也不能随便过头、 不恭不敬，

这样，默契和平衡将被打破， 友好关系将不复存在。 每个人都希望

拥有自己的一片私密空间，朋友之间过于随便，就容易侵入这片禁区，

从而引起冲突，造成隔阂。待友不敬，有时或许只是一件小事，却可

能已埋下了破坏性的种子。 维持朋友亲密关系的最好办法是往来有

节，互不干涉。

8.汉译英：都市寸土千金，地价炒得越来越高。今后将更高。拥有

一个小小花园的希望，对寻常之辈不啻是一种奢望，一种梦想。我想，

其实谁都有一个小小花园，这便是我们的内心世界。人的智力需要开

发，人的内心世界也是需要开发的。 人和动物的区别，除了众所周

知的诸多方面，恐怕还在于人有内心世界。 心不过是人的一个重要

脏器， 而内心世界是一种景观， 它是由外部世界不断地作用于内心

渐渐形成的。每个人都无比关注自己及至亲至爱之人心脏的健损， 以

至于稍有微疾便惶惶不可终日。但并非每个人都关注自己及至亲至爱

之人的内心世界的阴晴。

9.汉译英：手机改变了人与人之间的关系。 通常有注意到会议室的

门上的告示，写着―关闭手机。‖然而，会议室仍然充满着铃声。我

们都是普通人，没有很多重要的事情。但是，我们也不愿轻易关闭手

机。打开手机象征着我们与世界的联系。 手机反映出我们的社交饥

渴。我们经常看到，一个人走着走着，就突然停下来了，眼睛盯着他

的手机，不管他在那里，无论是在道路中心或旁边有厕所。

10.汉译英：暮色中，河湾里落满云霞，与天际的颜色混合一起，分

不清哪是流云哪是水湾。也就在这一幅绚烂的图画旁边，在河湾之畔，

一群羊正在低头觅食。 它们几乎没有一个顾得上抬起头来， 看一眼

这美丽的黄昏。也许它们要抓紧时间，在即将回家的最后一刻再次咀

嚼。这是黄河滩上的一幕。牧羊人不见了，他不知在处歇息。只有这

些美生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。 这儿水草肥美，让它们长得

肥滚滚的，像些胖娃娃。如果走近了，会发现它们那可爱的神情，洁

白的牙齿，那丰富而单纯的表情。 如果稍稍长久一点端详这张张面

庞，还会生出无限的怜悯。

1、正确答案：

But, as has been true in many other cases, when they were at

last married, the most ideal of situations was found to have

been changed to the most practical. Instead of having shared

their original duties, and as school-boys would say, going

halves, they discovered that the cares of life had been doubled.

This led to some distressing moments for both our friends; they

understood suddenly that instead of dwelling in heaven they

were still upon earth, and had make themselves slaves to new

laws and limitations. Instead of being freer and happier than

ever before, they had assumed new responsibilities; they had

established a new household, and must fulfill in some way or

another the obligations of it. They looked back with affection

to their engagement; they had been longing to have other to

themselves, apart from the world, but it seemed they never felt

so keenly that they were still units in modern society.

2、正确答案：

Cell phone has altered / renovated human relations /

relationships. There is usually a note on the door of conference

room, which reads “close your handset / cell phone.” However,

the rings are still resounding in the room. We are all common

people and have few urgencies to do. Still, we are reluctant

to turn off the phone. Cell phone symbolizes our connection with

the world and reflects our“thirst for socialization.”

We are familiar with the scene that a person stops his steps

to edit short messages with eyes glued at his phone, regardless

of his location, whether in road center or beside restroom.

3、正确答案：

They realized that both the babbling brook and the mighty river

would flow on, and that their waters would never return. They

found that as time passed by, young men would become old and

the green grass would turn yellow and wither in almost the blink

of an eye. A sense of urgency naturally arose over the

elusiveness of time. No matter how slowly time flowed, the very

fear of its transiency compelled people to use the

word“passage to warn the coming generations of the

necessity”of taking prompt action; thus instilling the word

with a sense of tension.

4、正确答案：

Camellia’s flowering period starts from December and ends in

the next April，and the colors of the flowers are bright and

showy with red in majority, yellow, white and other colors in

minority. It’s the city’s largest camellia show in recent

three years, which fully displays camellia ’s various species

as well as human’s scientific research level of it. In order

to provide the majority of plant-lovers with more opportunities

to closely appreciate the beauty of camellia, the area of the

Camellia Show is extended to the whole garden so that it can

bring more convenience for the visitors.

The Camellia Show takes over two months, in which more than 200

various camellias will be presented successively.

5、正确答案：

Life is like a cup of wine; people who love it discover

inexhaustible wonders from it. Hold in the hand and gaze at it,

the dark red color is reminiscent of the blood, which is the

impress of life. Take a sip of it and appreciate the taste, the

bittersweet flavor is exactly the same with life, which is

complicated and blurred. Once the sip is swallowed, the

lingering fragrance pleases the heart and refreshes the mind,

leaving a person lifelong benefit. There was a remarkable

resemblance between life and wine: the taste becomes more

delicious as the wine mellows, just as life gets better as it

becomes more abundant. When life comes to twilight years, it

looks calm and tastes full of wisdom and generosity, just like

a bottle of wine to be savored.

6、正确答案：

Being hasty and at leisure are two quite distinct lifestyles.

But in the real world, people have to frequently shuttle between

these two lifestyles, sometimes not sure whether they are ―at

ease‖ or ―in a rush‖. For example, we are enjoying our

holidays in the resort while suddenly we receive phone calls

from the boss who tells us there are some troubles with our

customers and work----so at this moment the modern, convenient

and advanced device shows its vicious and gloomy features---and

we lose all our interest. The subsequent leisure is the mere

showy for we are in a restless and anxious state of mind.

7、正确答案：

For the relationship between friends, similar habits and

tempers help to make it closer; on the other hand, opposite ones

leave distance from each other. No matter how familiar and

intimate the friends are, the relationship should be treated

carefully and respect should be treasured for friends.

Otherwise, the partnership and balance would be broken; as a

result, a good relationship would no longer exist. Everyone has

a desire for his own personal space, which could be easily

invaded if the attitude between friends is too free. Then

conflicts appear, causing barriers. Although it seems a small

case of not respecting friends, harmful seeds may be sowed to

ruin the relationship. In a word, the best way to keep positive

friendship is associating with temperate manners and without

too much interference.

8、正确答案：

I think everyone, in effect, has a small garden or a flower bed

of his own, namely, our inner world. Just as there is a need

for human beings to tap into their own intelligence, so is the

case with their inner world. What distinguishes between human

beings and animals, apart from the various aspects which are

universally known, may probably be in that human beings have

an inner world. Heart is no more than an important organ whereas

the inner world constitutes a landscape, which gradually takes

its shape under the continuous influence from the outside world.

So great is the importance that everyone attaches to the

physical condition of his own heart or those of his closest and

dearest ones that merely a minor disease would enduringly weigh

on his mind.

9、正确答案：

Cell phone has altered human relations. There is usually a note

on the door of conference room， which reads "close your

handset." However， the rings are still resounding in the room.

We are all common people and have few urgencies to do. Still，

we are reluctant to turn off the phone. Cell phone symbolizes

our connection with the world and reflects our "thirst for

socialization." We are familiar with the scene when a person

stops his steps to edit short messages with eyes glued at his

phone， disregard of his location， whether in road center or

beside restroom.

10、正确答案：

Beside this picture with profusions of colors, a group of sheep

are lowing their heads, eating by the river bank. Hardly none

of them would spare some time to raise their eyes to have a

glance at the beautiful dusk. They are, perhaps, taking use of

every minute to enjoy their last chew before being driven home.

This is a picture of the Yellow River bank, in which the shepherd

disappears, and no one knows where he is resting himself. Only

the sheep, however, as free creatures, are joyfully

appreciating the dusk. The exuberant water plants have nutrited

the sheep, making them grow as fat as balls. When approaching

near, you would find their lily-white teeth and a variety of

innocent facial impressions.
