四六级新题型复习技(精选6篇)

1.四六级新题型复习技 篇一

题型分析

听力长对话(long conversations)的长度一般在6-20句之间,字数在120-250字之间。针对每篇长对话的问题可能会有2-5个。与短对话相比,长对话涉及的内容更深入,人物态度,语气,情感变化更复杂,一般不能简单依赖某个关键词来判断整篇对话的含义。一人一句的短对话涉及的只是一个“点”,而长对话涉 及的是一个“面”。短对话的答案一般是“显而易见”的,而长对话有时更依赖于推断和判断。尽管如此,长对话必然有一个中心议题,中心议题正是该“面”的凝聚点,对话双方都是围绕该中心而展开话题,对于长对话而言,做出正确选择的关键就是把握住对话的中心思想。

由于对话较多,长对话的场景就显得格外重要,准确判断对话的场景(situation),对把握对话的中心思想是非常有帮助的。这里所谈到的场景,是指人物,身份或职业,议论的问题,时 间,地点等等的综合概念。清晰的场景会在考生头脑中形成氛围,容易把握对话的发展脉络,使对话情节的发展更加顺理成章。

应试技巧

概括地说,要听好长对话,必须做到以下五点:

(1)通过预读选项信息,能迅速把握它们的内在联系,从而预测所听对话材料的基本内容,并且从各个问题间的内在联系提炼出对话的中心思想,更好地理解个检测点的细节。下面两点值得特别关注:a.注意重复的词语,这些词通常会给你一些线索,还会帮助你回忆起你在题目中听过的名称;b.注意各个选项中的不同点,注意一些不同的名字,地点及不同的动词,这些不同之处将会帮你确定这道题中哪些是你要听的关键。

(2)排除明显错误的选项。及时排除明显错误的选项,将有助于你提高正确率。

(3)把握做题的节奏。做题的节奏在听力中比在其他部分要重要得多,每一项提问的时 间间隔都是相同的,这就暗示着答题的节奏感。做到答题的节奏与提问的节奏相一致,一旦答题的节奏落后了,就会手忙脚乱,出错的几率大大增加。

(4)提高短期记忆能力,学会脑笔同记,边听边记和一系列适用自己的记忆方法。

(5)熟悉各种固定的提问形式,根据对话的发展预测可能提出的问题。

2.四六级新题型复习技 篇二

1 英汉语言差异概述

英语属于印欧语系, 是拼音文字, 汉语属于汉藏语系, 是表意文字。英语有屈折变化, 汉语没有屈折变化, 英语词义比较灵活多变, 汉语词义相对稳定严谨。英语是重形合的语言, 主要靠语言本身的语法手段联系。汉语是重意合的语言, 主要靠句子内部逻辑联系。换言之, 汉语句子的根据在语义, 英语句子的根据在语法。汉语造句以名词为重心, 以词组、散句和分句为手段, 习惯按照时间、逻辑顺序进行横排式表述, 其内部逻辑关系“含而不露”, 甚至断句不严, 外形松散, 因此汉语常被称为时间型的动态结构, 主要体现为形式自由、富于弹性。汉语句子的内部成分常常一一罗列, 呈现并排式结构, 外形上没主从之分, 层面之间没有明显的逻辑标记。有人形象地把这种句子称为“板块”式结构。英语则以“主——谓”的主干结构为中心来统领各语言成分, 句界分明, 外形严谨, 主干结构突出, 只有一个谓语动词, 是句子的中心, 借助如, 分词、介词、连词、关系代词、关系副词等的连接手段, 把句子的其他各个语法成分层层搭建, 英语句子的“主谓结构”为句子主干, 其它成分则通过各种连带附加关系附着在这条主干上, 犹如树枝与树干的关系。人们把英语句子的这种结构称作“多枝共干”型。 (郝丽萍、李红丽、白树勤, 2006)

2 英汉语言差异特点及翻译真题解析

2.1 汉语多短句, 英语多长句

汉语是以意合为特征的语言, 英语是以形合为特征的语言。这就意味着汉语中会有大量的短句并用, 这些短句靠意思连接在一起, 中间可以没有任何连接词;英语句子则有严格的语法结构, 有脉络衔接。在汉译英时, 考生要利用英语的从句、非谓语动词结构、短语等形式将汉语中的短句合并译为英语中的长句。例如:“‘结’在中文里意味着爱情、婚姻和团聚, 中国结常常作为礼物交换或用作饰品祈求好运和辟邪。” (2013年12月大学英语四级真题。) 这句话由两个分句组成, 暗含因果关系, 前句为“因”, 后句为“果”。但这种因果关系没有依托连词 (如“因为”) 来体现。如果翻译成英文, 考生可以用表示因果关系的连词来连接两个句子, 如since、as、because等。例如:“Since the‘knot’symbolizes love, marriage and reunion in the Chinese language, Chinese knots are exchanged as gifts or used as decorations to bring good luck and drive away evil spirits.”英译文使用了“since”这个连词, 将句子内部逻辑关系明确地表现出来。再例如:“中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化, 有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。” (2014年6月大学英语六级真题。) 这两个汉语短句都是在谈“中文热词”, 译成英语时可利用非限制性定语从句结构合并成一个复合句, 比简单译成两个英文短句, 显然更地道更符合英语表达习惯。因此, 译为:“The Chinese hot words usually reflect the social changes and culture, some of which are increasingly popular with foreign media.”

2.2 汉语多用动词, 英语多用名词

汉语重动态描写, 动词使用比较频繁, 而且汉语里的动词不像英语里的动词那样有时态变化和非谓语动词的约束, 动词甚至可以充当句子的任何成分, 使用起来相当灵活、便利。英语里的动词使用受到形态变化规则的严格限制。一个句子往往只有一个谓语动词, 大量原本应该由动词表达的概念, 常需借助于名词, 而且英语里也有大量表示动作概念的名词。例如:“为了促进教育公平, 中国已经投入360亿元, 用于改善农村地区教育设施和加强中西部地区农村义务教育。” (2014年6月大学英语四级真题。) 句中含有“促进、投入、改善、加强”等动词, 然而译成英语时, 只需选取“投入”一个动词充当谓语动词, “促进”作非谓语动词不定式处理, 表目的, “改善”和“加强”则直接转换为英语里的名词“improvement”和“enhancement”。全句可译为:“In order to promote the equality of education, China has invested 36 billion yuan for the improvement of the educational facilities in rural areas and the enhancement of the rural compulsory education in the midwest.”

2.3 汉语多主动, 英语多被动

汉语里, 主动和被动的句法非常模糊, 虽然也有通过“被”或“把”等词体现的, 类似英语那样被动语态, 但其使用范围远远小于英语中的被动句型的使用范围。因为汉语中有很多句子在形式上是主动句, 但在意义上却是被动的, 所以翻译成英语时必须用被动句型才能表达其意义。例如:“这些资金用于改善教学设施、购买书籍, 使16万多所中小学受益。” (2014年6月大学英语四级真题。) 资金从逻辑关系看, 施动的对象, 是被人们使用, 暗含被动关系, 因此译成英语时应该用被动语态。参考译文如下:“The funds were used to improve educational facilities and to purchase books, benefiting more than 160, 000 primary and middle schools.”。再例如:“换句话说, 核能是可以安全开发和利用的” (2014年6月大学英语四级真题。) 原句中虽然不是有“被”字明显标记的被动式句, 但还是很容易看出是一个典型具有被动意义的句子, 甚至我们在原句中加个“被”字, 句子都是合理的, 如“换句话说, 核能是可以安全被开发和利用的。”因此译成英语时必须用被动语态。如:“That is to say, nuclear power could be developed and utilized without accidents.”

2.4 汉语多重复, 英语多省略

重复是汉语常用的一种语篇衔接手段, 汉语为了追求音节的平衡和句法的完整性, 往往需要重复, 而英语以简洁为宗旨, 尽量避免词语的重复。也就是说, 汉语以重复见长, 英语则以省略见长。所以汉语中如果在一句话里或相连的几句话里重复出现某个词语, 汉译英时要千方百计避免重复。例如:“烹饪不仅被视为一种技能, 而且也被视为一种艺术。” (2013年12月大学英语四级真题。) 汉语中出现两次“被视为”, 翻译成英语时, 第二个“被视为”可以省略, 译为:“Cooking is considered as not only a skill but also an art.”。如果按汉语重复结构译成:“Cooking not only is considered as a skill, but also is considered as an art.”就显得很累赘, 不合乎英语表达规范。再例如:“系列报告包括三部分:科学发展报告, 高技术发展报告, 中国可持续战略报告。” (2014年6月大学英语六级真题。) 虽然句中一共重复出现了4次报告, 但从汉语表达习惯看, 仍觉自然、通顺, 并无不妥, 但是译成英语就要避免重复了, 译成:“The report consists of three parts:science development, high-tec development and China’s sustainable development strategy.”

3 结束语

英汉语言对比知识的学习是做好翻译的基础, 考生应该多下功夫了解英汉语言的结构差异、文化思维差异、各种词类及语态的使用特点等, 只有这样才有助于考生在面对四六级考试的翻译新题型, 能够准确把握两种语言转换的语言特点, 翻译出表达地道的译文, 不仅能顺利通过考试, 更能提高自身英语能力的“真功夫”。

摘要:大学英语四六级考试最新改革中翻译题型做了非常大的调整, 由原单句汉译英改为段落汉译英, 旨在考察考生的英语应用能力, 被考生视为最难的题目类型。该文拟从英汉语言差异的角度, 以改革后的两次考试的真题为例, 探讨在语言差异方面汉译英的翻译技巧, 帮助考生提高段落翻译能力, 从而顺利通过考试, 也能提升英语综合应用能力。

3.论四、六级备考之各题型交叉运用 篇三

对立观点型阅读篇章对写作框架的借鉴作用

四、六级阅读中有一类对立观点型文章,无论是改革前还是改革后,这类文章都占有较大比重。这类文章的典型框架就是在开篇提出一种观点、一个话题或者一个现象,然后引出两方不同的观点来对此话题进行论述。

四级阅读考过一篇文章,讲的是美国人对于制服(uniform)的看法。文章开篇先提出制服在美国流行这一现象,并引出将要讨论的问题:“Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?”接下来,作者列举了正反两方面的观点。有人支持穿制服,并且提出了相应的理由:“Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that ... Uniforms also have many practical benefits.”有人反对穿制服:“Primary among the arguments against uniforms is ... Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems.”

这篇文章框架非常清晰,主题词是uniform,全篇都围绕这一主题词来论述。其实这样的框架与六级写作题目中经常出现的一类题目很相似。这类题目的框架是首段提出问题,中间段分正反两方面或至少从两个角度来分别论述,结尾段要求考生谈谈自己的观点。这类写作题目与上面的阅读篇章有异曲同工之处,不同之处只在于阅读篇章没有给出作者的个人观点,而写作题目要求考生写出个人观点。

如果将上述阅读文章的框架应用于六级写作当中,就可以解决很多考生字数写不够、框架不合理等问题。下面笔者就以2012年6月六级写作题目The Impact of the Internet on Interpersonal Communication为例,来演示如何将上文阅读篇章的框架应用于写作中。考生可以将原来阅读篇章的主题词uniform替换为写作题目的主题词internet,得出此次六级写作的基本框架。首段提出将要讨论的问题:“Why is the internet so popular in modern society, especially among the young?”在主体段,考生可以分正反两方面来写。其一,有人认为网络可以给人际关系带来很多益处:“Among the arguments for internet usage, one of the first is that ... The internet also has many practical benefits.”其二,反对者不认同网络在人际交往中的作用,认为网络的使用产生了很多实际问题:“Primary among the arguments against internet usage in interpersonal communication is ... The internet also gives rise to some practical problems.”这样一篇六级写作的基本框架就产生了。至于个人观点,考生可以参照这两个对立观点选取一方来论述,言之有理即可。

四、六级阅读中类似的对立观点型文章很多。在进行阅读练习的过程中,如果考生能做一个有心人,就可以从中吸取有益的知识,总结出自己所需要的写作框架模板。

四、六级写作备考对翻译的借鉴作用

2013年四、六级改革的一大亮点在于翻译部分的大变脸,之前的短句汉译英在改革后变为段落汉译英,考查考生对整段中文的英语翻译能力。在备考中考生会发现,翻译部分的某些内容在往年的写作真题中曾经出现,如果考生在写作备考中留心积累,对翻译部分的备考也会有所帮助。下面笔者来举例说明。

2013年新六级大纲样题的翻译部分是一段关于中国春节的描述。有些考生不会用英文表达“放鞭炮”,其实1995年6月的六级写作题目就是关于放鞭炮的。如果考生熟悉这道题目,就会知道“放鞭炮”的地道英语表达是set off firecrackers。

新六级大纲样题的翻译段落提到了春节和元宵节这两个节日。此外,2013年12月六级考试有一套试卷的翻译部分介绍了中秋节,还提到了北美的感恩节。细心的考生会发现,这些节日的表达完全可以从2006年12月的六级写作真题中延伸出来。2006年12月的六级写作真题The Celebration of Western Festivals就涉及中国传统节日与西方节日的比较。如果考生在备考时练习过这篇文章的写作,就会了解一些节日的正确表达。

下面来看2006年12月六级写作高分范文的一个片段。文章开头提到了西方节日在中国的流行,包括圣诞节、感恩节和情人节等。另一方面,越来越多的中国人忽视了中国的传统节日,包括春节、中秋节等:“Western festivals are gaining ever-increasing popularity in China. However, a growing number of Chinese people are immersed in the thrilling atmosphere of western festivals including Christmas, Thanksgiving Day and Valentine’s Day, without paying any attention to Chinese traditional festivals, such as Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and the like.”考生可以做个有心人,积累范文中出现的节日名词,甚至由此进一步引申,了解中国其他传统节日的表达方法,如端午节(Dragon Boat Festival)、元宵节(Lantern Festival)等,这些对考生今后的翻译备考都会有所帮助。

改革前翻译题目对写作的借鉴作用

改革之前的翻译题目比较简单,只是给出五句话,抠出其中含有相关语法知识的部分,让考生根据中文提示把句子补充完整。相较于改革后的段落翻译,虽然改革前的句子翻译比较简单,但考生可以借鉴其中考查的特殊句型(如虚拟语气、倒装句等),将其应用于自己的写作中。下面笔者就以一些高频考点为例来说明。

改革前的六级翻译大纲样题中出现了这样一句话:“It was essential that we should sign the contract before the end of the month.”这句话考查的是虚拟语气中的建议类句型,句子结构为it is essential that we should do something。这种句子除了在翻译和阅读中常会出现,也可以用在写作中。在谈及重要事项时,考生常常需要表达“这是根本”“这很重要”的意思,这时就可以使用it is essential that we should do something的句型。如上文提到的2006年12月关于西方节日的六级写作题目,考生可能想要表达“牢记并庆祝中国传统节日是很重要的”,这时就可以说:“It is essential that we should bear in mind our traditional festivals and celebrate them.”又如,2013年6月六级写作的一道题目要求考生评论下面这句话:“A smile is the shortest distance between two people.”考生在写作时就可以说:“It is essential that we should smile to others, even strangers.”

虚拟条件句在改革前的翻译题目中也经常出现。2007年12月六级翻译考到了这样一句话:“But for mobile phones, our communication would not have been so prompt and convenient.”其中,but for相当于without,整句话意思上相当于一个虚拟条件句。这句话经过改写就可以用到写作中。如2012年6月的六级写作考查网络对人际关系的影响,考生只需要把这句翻译题目中的mobile phones替换成the internet,把communication替换成写作题目中的interpersonal communication,就可以得到下面这句话:“But for the internet, our interpersonal communication would not have been so prompt and convenient.”此外,在2013年12月的四级写作题目中,有一道题涉及手机对人们生活的影响,也就是当下很流行的“手机依赖症”问题。考生在论述手机在日常生活中的作用时,就可以直接用上面提到的翻译题目中的这个句型,表明手机对人们日常通讯的影响。这样一来,考生就可以避免使用常见的because或because of句型,用but for虚拟条件句使整个句子显得更漂亮。

倒装句也是改革前的四、六级翻译中常考的句型。2010年12月六级翻译考到了下面这句话:“Only when I reached my thirties did I realize that reading cannot be neglected.”这个句子的考点在于副词only置于句首的倒装句结构。考生如果在四、六级写作中恰当运用倒装句也能给文章添色不少。以2013年6月的一道六级写作题为例,题目要求考生评论下面一句话:“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.”在写这道题目时,考生可以从人类的贪欲和不恰当行为着手进行分析,并提出一些解决措施。最后,考生就可以仿照上面提到的翻译题目的倒装结构,写出这样一句话:“Only with these effective measures taken can we expect a more harmonious world.”这样一个倒装句用在文章末尾会使文章熠熠生辉。

六级写作对其他英语考试写作部分的借鉴作用

事实上,阅读、写作和翻译之间都有很多可以彼此借鉴的地方。如果考生有心积累,甚至可以将六级写作的题目应用于其他英语考试的写作中。众所周知,很多高分范文有一个共性,那就是以名言警句收尾,起到画龙点睛的作用。而在2013年六级改革后,六级写作题目本身更加灵活多样,题目不再以中文提纲的形式出现,而是以一句名言警句的形式出现,简洁明了。这些出现在六级写作考题中的名言警句就可以为考生所用,成为备考英文写作的素材。下面来举例说明。

2013年6月六级写作的一道题目要求考生评论下面这句话:“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.”考生在写关于环境污染、谴责人类过度开发行为等主题的文章时,就可以引用这句话。

再如,2013年12月的三道六级写作题目都可以用于其他考试的写作中。“A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”这句话可以用在与网络、信息有关的写作题目中;“Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them”这句话可以用在关于幸福、挫折的写作题目中;“The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it”这句话可以用在与奉献、人生价值相关的写作题目中。

总之,考生可以积累六级写作题目中出现的名言警句,合理运用到其他英语考试的写作中,必然能增加文章的亮点,起到很好的表达效果。

宫保鸡丁(Kung Pao Chicken)由鸡丁、花生和红辣椒做成,是著名的传统川菜。这道菜以晚清时期的官员丁宝桢的名字命名。据说,丁宝桢很喜欢吃,尤其是 “爆炒鸡丁”。丁宝桢在四川做巡抚(governor)时,他常常以爆炒鸡丁宴请宾客。为了迎合四川宾客的口味,丁宝桢改良了他最爱的“爆炒鸡丁”,加入了红辣椒。结果, 辣的鸡丁比以前更美味。丁宝桢后来被授予“太子少保(Palace Guardian)”的官衔, 也就是“宫保”。为了纪念丁宝桢,人们把他最爱的这道菜命名为“宫保鸡丁”。

M: Yes, all right.W: He made his first notable achievement at the age of eighteen.It was a method of refrigeration which arose from his work in low temperature physics.He became professor of Mathematics at the University of Manchester at twenty-four, where he remained for twelve years.During that time he married one of his students, Natasha Willoughby.M: Yes.Go on.W: Later, working together in London, they laid the foundation of modern Physics by showing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles.For this he and his wife received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1910, and did so again in 1912 for their work on very high frequency radio waves.In his lifetime Hawtin patented 244 inventions.Do you want any more?

M: No.I wouldn’t know anything more about the stove itself.All I know is that this fire went up so quickly that there’s been a suspicion about why it went up so quickly.And it may be that there was a gas blast.But, again, this has not been determined officially by anybody.W: I got you.When do kids come back to school?

In today’s personality stakes, nothing is more highly valued than a sense of humor.We seek it out in others and are proud to claim it in ourselves, perhaps even more than good looks or intelligence.If someone has a great sense of humor, we reason, it means that they are happy, socially confident and have a healthy perspective on life.This attitude would have surprised the ancient Greeks, who believed humor to be essentially aggressive.And in fact, our admiration for the comically gifted is relatively new, and not very well-founded, says Rod Martin, a psychologist at the University of Western Ontario.Being funny isn’t necessarily an indicator of good social skills and well-being, his research has shown.It may just as likely be a sign of personality flaws.He has found that humor is a double-edged sword.It can forge better relationships and help you cope with life, or it can be corrosive, eating away at self-esteem and irritating others.“It’s a form of communication, like speech, and we all use it differently,” says Martin.We use bonding humor to enhance our social connections, but we also may employ it as a way of excluding or rejecting an outsider.Though humor is essentially social, how you use it says a lot about your sense of self.Those who use self-defeating humor, making fun of themselves for the enjoyment of others, tend to maintain that hostility toward themselves even when alone.Similarly, those who are able to view the world with amused tolerance are often equally forgiving of their own shortcomings.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.9.How do people today view humor according to the speaker? 10.What did the ancient Greeks think of humor? 11.What has psychologist Rod Martin found about humor? Passage Two

Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12.A)She is a tourist guide.C)She is a domestic servant.B)She is an interpreter.D)She is from the royal family.13.A)It is situated at the foot of a beautiful mountain.B)It was used by the family to hold dinner parties.C)It was frequently visited by heads of state.D)It is furnished like one in a royal palace.14.A)It is elaborately decorated.C)It is very big, with only six slim legs.B)It has survived some 2,000 years.D)It is shaped like an ancient Spanish boat.15.A)They are interesting to look at.B)They have lost some of their legs.C)They do not match the oval table at all.D)They are uncomfortable to sit in for long.Passage Two(female voice)

And now, if you’ll walk this way, ladies and gentlemen, the next room we’re going to see is the room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionally entertain heads of state and royalty.However, they managed to keep this room friendly and intimate and I think you’ll agree it has a very informal atmosphere, quite unlike some grand houses you visit.The curtains were never drawn, even at night, so guests got a view of the lake and fountains outside, which were lit up at night.A very attractive sight.As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, the guests were seated very informally around this oval table, which would add to the relaxed atmosphere.The table dates from the eighteenth century and is made of Spanish oak.It’s rather remarkable for the fact that although it is extremely big, it’s supported by just six rather slim legs.However, it seems to have survived like that for two hundred years, so it’s probably going to last a bit longer.The chairs which go with the table are not a complete set—there were originally six of them.They are interesting for the fact that they are very plain and undecorated for the time, with only one plain central panel at the back and no arm-rests.I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in for very long, but people were used to more discomfort in the past.And now, ladies and gentlemen, if you’d like to follow me into the Great Hall … Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.12.What do we learn about the speaker? 13.What does the speaker say about the room they are visiting? 14.What is said about the oval table in the room? 15.What does the speaker say about the chairs? Section C

Directions: In this section, you will hear recordings of lectures or talks followed by some questions.The recordings will be played only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C)and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.参考答案
