2014年英语二级笔译真题及解析
英译汉 passage1
WATERLOO, Belgium—The region around this Belgian cityis busily preparing to commemorate the 200th anniversary in 2015 of one of themajor battles in European military history. But weaving a path through thepreparations is proving almost as tricky as making one‟s way across the battlefield was back then, when the Duke ofWellington, as commander of an international alliance of forces, crushedNapoleon. 比利时滑铁卢——2015年，这座比利时小镇热闹非凡，人们正在紧锣密鼓地筹备滑铁卢战役200周年的纪念活动。滑铁卢战役是欧洲军事史上重大战役之一。在筹备现场迂回行进，其难度决不亚于在滑铁卢战场上奋勇前进。当时，联军统帅威灵顿公爵击败了拿破仑。
1. “The region around this Belgian city/ is busily preparing to commemorate the 200th anniversary in 2015 /of one of the major battles in European military history.”这句话很长，需要划分。我们看到时间一般可以最先翻译，所以2015年可以先翻出来，“这座比利时小镇热闹非凡”是译者添加了一些形容词。
也可以像韩刚老师翻译的：“比利时滑铁卢的周边地区正在为2015年滑铁卢战役200周年纪念活动进行紧锣密鼓的筹备”但是感觉这句话稍微有一点长。
可以适当调整一下：2015年，在比利时滑铁卢的周边地区，人们正紧锣密鼓地筹备着滑铁卢战役200周年的纪念活动。
“of one of the major battles in European military history.”是介词短语修饰前面的名词，因为前面翻出来已经很长了，这句话啊是解释说明的作用，可以另起一句翻译。
2. weave： (pursue twisting course)«driver, vehicle, river» 迂回前行 to weave in and out穿进穿出
the road weaves through a range of hills这条路在丘陵间绕来绕去
to weave to and fro来回穿梭
3.这个when翻译出“当时”个人认为是十分好的，不用再重复一遍滑铁卢战役，之间用这样一个过去的表达，把读者一下拉回到那个历史时期。
A rambling thoughdilapidated farmsteadcalled Hougoumont, which was crucial to the battle‟s outcome, is beingpainstakingly restored as an educational center. Nearby, an underground visitorcenter is under construction, and roads and monuments throughout the rollingfarmland where once the sides fought are being refurbished.More than 6,000military buffs are expected to re-enact individual skirmishes.
霍高蒙特决定了滑铁卢战役的结局。如今，人们正煞费苦心地将这座广袤而破败的农庄复原成一座教育中心。农庄附近的地下游客中心正在施工建设;双方激战过的农田连绵起伏，那里所有的公路和纪念碑都在加紧翻新。6000多名军事爱好者希望重演滑铁卢独特的战争画面。
1.看到第一句，有几个分句，“which was crucial to the battle‟s outcome, ” 非限制性定语从句，相当于一个插入语成分。整句话的主语是“Hougoumont is being painstakingly restored as an educational center.”先找主谓宾是我们看到英文段落语句最先做的事。 “A rambling though dilapidated farmstead called Hougoumont”看到这句话应该能分清楚那个是主语，“Hougoumont”是主语，“A rambling though dilapidated farmstead”是用来解释它到底是什么。
2. ramble这里用了动名词形式：Horticulture«plant» 蔓生
a beautiful rose rambled over the wall一株美丽的蔷薇爬上了墙头
While the battle ended two centuries ago,however, hard feelings have endured. Memories are long here, and not everyonehere shares Britain‟senthusiasm for celebrating Napoleon‟s defeat.
尽管滑铁卢战役已经过去了两个世纪，人们还是耿耿于怀。这里给人们留下的记忆刻骨铭心，并非所有的人都愿意分享英国人庆祝拿破仑失败的热情。
Every year, in districts of Wallonia, theFrench-speaking part of Belgium,there are fetes to honor Napoleon, according to Count Georges Jacobs de Hagen,a prominent Belgian industrialist and chairman of a committee responsible forrestoring Hougoumont. “Napoleon, for these people, was very popular,” Mr.Jacobs, 73, said over coffee. “That is why, still today, there are some enemies of the project.”
据比利时著名实业家和霍高蒙特复原委员会主席雅各布伯爵介绍，每年比利时的法语区瓦隆尼亚都要举行盛大活动纪念拿破仑。雅各布先生今年73岁, 他一边喝着咖啡，一边说：“拿破仑深受这些人的'爱戴，所以，现在还有人对霍高蒙特的复原工作充满敌意。”
1.“the French-speaking part of Belgium”这又是一个同位语从句，相当于插入语，可以当做定语从句，前置来翻译。
2.看到according to一般都要放在前面翻译。
Belgium,of course, did not exist in 1815. Its Dutch-speaking regions were part of theKingdom of the Netherlands,while the French-speaking portion had been incorporated into the French Empire.Among French speakers, Mr. Jacobs said, Napoleon had a “huge influence — the administration, the Code Napoléon,” or reform of the legal system.While Dutch-speaking Belgians fought under Wellington, French speakers fought withNapoleon.
其实，1815年还没有比利时这个国家。那时，荷兰语区属于荷兰王国，而法语区与法兰西帝国密不可分。雅各布斯先生说，拿破仑对法语区的人们“产生了巨大的影响——无论是他的治国之道，还是他的《拿破仑法典》，”亦或是他对法治体系的改革。说荷兰语的比利时人受威灵顿指挥，而说法语的人们则与拿破仑并肩作战。
That distaste on the part of modern-dayFrench speakerscrystallized inresistance to a British proposal that, as partof the restoration of Hougoumont, a memorial be raised to the British soldierswho died defending its narrow North Gate at a critical moment on June 18, 1815,when Wellingtoncarried the day. “Every discussion in the committee was filled with highsensitivity,” Mr. Jacobs recalled. “I said, „This is a condition for the helpof the British,‟ so the North Gate won the battle, and we got the monument.” 如今，法语区的部分居民对霍高蒙特复原工作十分反感，具体表现在他们强烈抵抗复原项目中一个提议。该提议是由英国人提出的，他们要求树立一座英雄纪念碑，纪念在1815年6月18日威灵顿公爵获胜的关键时刻，因镇守狭窄的北门而阵亡的英军士兵。雅各布先生回忆说：“委员会每次一讨论这个提议，委员们都高度敏感。我说：„这是英国人帮助我们的前提条件‟，既然英国人因北门而获胜，那我们就建一座北门纪念碑好了。”
1.crystallize：figurative(make clear)«experience, discussion» 使„具体化‹plans, thoughts›
to crystallize [something] into [something]使某事物成为具体的某事物
2.resistance
noun
①(to enemy)抵抗
resistance to [somebody]/[something]对某人/某事物的抗拒
to put up or offer resistance进行抵抗
3.第一句话很长，顺序来翻译一下是“法语区居民尤其对英国人的一项提议十分反感，这项提议是霍高蒙特复原工作的一部分，英国人的提议主要是„„”从这个顺序翻译中能看出来：这句话最重要的是理解“as part of the restoration of Hougoumont,”是作为插入语来修饰a British proposal，因为这句话隔断了a British proposal that与“a memorial be raised to„”这句话的关系，其实最后半句是来解释British proposal到底是什么的。都了解了各句之间的逻辑关系，再开始重新组合翻译，就比较顺了。
If Belgiumwas reluctant to get involved, Francewas at first totally uninterested. “They told us, „We don‟t want to take partin this British triumphalism,‟” said Countess Nathalie du ParcLocmaria, awriter and publicist who is president of a committee representing fourtownships that own the land where the battle raged.
如果比利时不愿意参与此事, 法国起初是毫无兴趣的。伯爵夫人娜塔丽是一名作家和时事评论员，目前担任一家土地委员会的主席，该委员会所代表的四个乡镇，恰好拥有交战区的土地。她说：“我们不想参与英国必胜论的庆祝活动。”
英译汉 passage2
“Bayer is strictly committed to beehealth,” said Gillian Mansfield, an official specializing in strategicmessaging at the company's Bayer CropScience division. She was sitting at thecenter's semicircular coffee bar, which has a formidable espresso maker and, ifyou ask, homegrown Bayer honey. On the surrounding walls, bee fun facts arewritten in English, like “A bee can fly at roughly 16 miles an hour”or, ittakes “nectar from some two million flowers in order to produce a pound ofhoney.”
拜耳农作物科学部门专门负责战略信息的吉莉安·曼斯菲尔德女士说：“拜耳非常重视蜜蜂的健康问题。”她坐在蜜蜂保健中心的一个半圆形的咖啡吧里。咖啡吧里有一台巨大的浓缩咖啡机，如果需要，还有拜耳自酿的蜂蜜。咖啡吧四周的墙壁上贴满了英语书写的蜜蜂趣闻，比如“蜜蜂一小时大概能飞行16英里。”再比如，蜜蜂采“两百万朵鲜花中的花蜜，才能酿成一磅重的蜂蜜。”
