一、解题技巧 英语六级翻译是很多考生选择放弃的题型,因为它排在试题最后,建议时间只有5分钟,分值只占5%.其实这样做是挺可惜的,因为翻译的评分标准比大部分同学想象的要宽松的多。以2009年6月的翻译真题第一题为例: 82. With the rising, she tried to talk ___________ (说服他不买车). 评分时给出的满分答案有四种: 1.him out of buying cars 2.to him an persuade him not to buy the car 3.to him in order to persuade him not to buy a car 4.him into giving up buying a car 当然,出题人希望考生给出的是第一种,或者说该题考点是talk sb. out of doing sth. 这一搭配。但能写出后三种答案也照样得满分,因为它们也都完整地表达了原文的意思,而且没有语法和拼写错误。所以大家不要放弃翻译,只要用自己会的词充分表达了原文的意思,就有可能得分,甚至得满分。
二、冲刺方略 要备考翻译,还是需要做比较多细致的工作的。 首先,大家应该重视语法结构和句型。可以通过做我们给的语法专项练习来实现。有语法的盲点应该通过练习和查阅语法书即使扫清。 其次,应该重视搭配。记单词的时候要养成记搭配的习惯,尤其对于动词来说要这样。大家最好能够了解到《大学英语课程教学要求》里面所规定的搭配,如09年6月第一题里考到的talk sb. out of doing sth.就在其中。当然这并不够因为像以往考过的deprive sb. of sth. 这样基本的重要搭配在《大学英语课程教学要求》里面又找不到,所以还需要大家自己在背单词的时候尽可能多记一些搭配。
