Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese to

English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.

在中國文化中,黃顏色是一種很重要的顏色,因為它具有獨特的象徵意義。 在封建(feudal)社會中,它象徵統治者的.權利和權威。那時,黃色是專為皇帝使用的顏色,皇家宮殿全都漆成黃色,黃袍總是黃色的,而普通老百姓是禁止穿黃色衣服的。在中國,黃色也是收穫的象徵。秋天莊稼成熟時,田野變得一片金黃。人們興高采烈,慶祝豐收。

  【參考譯文一】

In Chinese culture, yellow is a significant color, which carries a unique symbolic meaning. It embodies rulers’ power and authority in feudal society, where yellow was specifically used for emperors, for example, royal palaces were painted with yellow tint and the imperial robes were yellow. However, average people were not allowed to wear clothes in that color. In China, yellow also means harvest. When crops are ripe in Fall, wild field are golden every where. Then people celebrate the good harvest with happiness and gratitude.

  點評:

此次題目考的是我們非常熟悉的中國傳統文化,相對來說是比較簡單的,無論從詞彙和句子結構來說,對同學們不會造成太大障礙。在翻譯時,要考慮到英文的行文特點及語法結構,比如,英語多避免重複,所以,在翻譯時會用到一些代替,比如,it, that, those,these等。同時,會用到從句,此時,注意連詞的用法,選對連詞,避免出現邏輯問題。

  【參考譯文二】

In Chinese culture, yellow is an important color because of its unique symbolic meaning. In feudal society, it symbolizes the rulers’ power and authority. At that time, yellow was designed to use for the emperor—the royal palace was painted yellow and the imperial robe was always yellow too. However, the ordinary people were not allowed to wear yellow clothes. In China, yellow also signifies harvest. The fields grow golden yellow in autumn when the crops mature. People celebrate the harvest cheerfully.

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay. Suppose you have two options upon graduation: one is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school. You are to make a choice between the two. Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

  破題思路:

第一段:話題描述。

第二段:表明觀點+闡述原因。

第三段:觀點結論。

  參考範文:

Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice,which is truly a tough choice. Students' opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that priority should be given to take a job, but others take the attitude that going to a graduate school is the most critical factor influencing their future career choices.

As to myself, I prefer the latter view. A higher educational background exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me. This phenomenon that the graduates have difficulties in finding job after their graduation can easily be found anywhere in our daily life, especially on campus. On the one hand, with the improved high education of Chinese college students which directly brought the result that there are more and more graduates every year. On the contrary, job vacancies don’t increase that fast. More people, less food, which is the exact description of the hard condition. On the other hand, more and more people go on to pursue their master and doctor degree; more and more Chinese oversea students come back to China to hunt better working chances. It is sure that the competition is more and more fierce.

Therefore, it is high time that we took effective measures to improve our own competitiveness. That is the secret of success in the future employment market after our graduation.
