2017考研英语二真题解析之命题思路深度分析4（跨考官方）

　　全国的英语二考生，大家好! 一年多的辛苦准备，终于满怀信心的走上战场，大杀四方!与考前我预料的一样，当全日制考生和非全日制考生第一次共考一张试卷时，难度必定稳中有降。果不其然，今年总体英语二的题型难度不大，可以说时几年来最简单的一次。

　　第四部分 翻译

　　本文节选自http://www.fmprochester.info/news/featured-student/inese-gailane

　　发表的一篇博文。本文在原文基础上稍作了改写，全文只1段，共5句话为几年来最少，其中包括1个简单句，3个复合句和1个复杂句。但是，大部分句子结构不太复杂，也没有出现太多生僻词。不过，要将原文完整通顺地翻译出来，需要考生结合上下文，采用增词、意译等多种翻译策略灵活处理。今年的翻译题与往年相比，从总体难度上来说下降了许多。

　　翻译原文：

　　My Dream

　　1.My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. 2.Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course.3. However, during that course I realized that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. 4.Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favorite activities.5. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream --- I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!

　　[翻译解析]

　　1.My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing。

　　【参考译文】我的梦想一直是在时装设计和出版界之间找寻一个工作。

　　【句子分析】这个句子是简单句，句子主干是My dream has always been to work，后面的部分是状语。难点的地方在于状语部分somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing， 这里somewhere不需要翻译出来避免后面的介词短语重复，抽象理解为在时尚设计和出版界之间找寻一个工作。

　　2.Two years before graduating from secondary school， I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course。

　　【参考译文】在我中学毕业的两年前，我参加了一个缝纫和设计课程，原以为我能再继续参加一个时装设计的课程。

　　【句子分析】句子主干为I took a sewing and design course 后面是现在分词短语thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course作伴随状语。

　　3.However， during that course I realized that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future， so I decided that it was not the right path for me。

　　【参考译文】然而，就在这个课程上，我意识到，将来在这个领域，我是无法和那些富于创新精神的精英们相媲美的。于是，我断定到这条路走不通。

　　【句子分析】句子结构是i realized +that 引导的宾语从句，so引导的结果状语从句，结果状语从句中that引导宾语从句。第一个宾语从句中主干是I was not good enough in this area，其后有动词不定式短语做目的状语。

　　4.Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism， because writing was， and still is， one of my favorite activities。

　　【参考译文】在申请上大学之前，我和所有人都讲，我想学新闻学，因为，写作曾经是，现在也是我最喜欢的活动之一。

　　【句子分析】句子结构为I told everyone +that引导的宾语从句，because引导的状语从句。

　　5.But， to be absolutely honest， I said it， because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream - I knew that no one， apart from myself， could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!

　　【参考译文】但是，说实话，我之所以这样说，是因为我以为从事时装设计不过是一个梦想，我也知道，除了我之外，没有人能想象出我会从事时装设计的工作

　　【句子分析】本句主句为I said it ，其后又because 引导原因状语从句，原因状语从句中that 引导了宾语从句。破折号之后的句子结构为I know +that引导的宾语从句。
