2017年考研英语一翻译真题及参考答案

Part C

Directions:

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)

The growth of the use of English as the world's primary language for international communication has obviously been continuing for several decades.

(46)But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future.

Complex international, economic, technological and culture change could start to diminish the leading position of English as the language of the world market, and UK interests which enjoy advantage from the breath of English usage would consequently face new pressures. Those realistic possibilities are highlighted in the study presented by

David Graddol.

(47)His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generation of the United Kingdom do not need additional language capabilities.

David Graddol concludes that monoglot English graduates face a bleak economic future as qualified multilingual youngsters from other countries are proving to have a competitive advantage over their British counterparts in global companies and organizations. Alongside that, (48) many countries are introducing English into the primary-school curriculum but British schoolchildren and students do not appear to be gaining greater encouragement to achieve fluency in other languages.

If left to themselves, such trends will diminish the relative strength of the English language in international education markets as the demand for educational resources in languages, such as Spanish, Arabic or Mandarin grows and international business process outsourcing in other language such as Japanese, French and German, spreads.

(49)The changes identified by David Graddol all present clear and major challenges to UK's providers of English language teaching to people of other countries and to broader education business sectors. The English language teaching sector directly earns nearly f1.3 billion for the UK in invisible exports and our other education related explores earn up to £10 billion a year more. As the international education market expands, the recent slowdown in the number of international students studying in the main English-speaking countries is likely to continue, especially if there are no effective strategic policies to prevent such slippage.

The anticipation of possible shifts in demand provided by this study is significant: (50) It gives a basis to all organizations which seek to promote the learning and use of English, a basis for planning to meet the possibilities of what could be a very different operating environment. That is a necessary and practical approach. In this as in much else, those who wish to influence the future must prepare for it.

【答案解析】

46、

But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future.

[句子结构]

该句是结构较复杂的复合句，其结构可以分为两层。第一层是even as引导让步状语从句: the number of English speakers expands further; 主句是there be句型，其中signs 后面为that引导的同位语从句: the global predominance of the language may..来解释‘“迹象”的内容。

[参考译文]

但是即使当下英语使用者的人群还在进一步扩大，有迹象表明:在可预见的未来，英语可能会逐渐失去其全球主导地位。

47、

His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generations of the United Kingdom do not need additional language capabilities.

[句子结构]

该句是结构复杂的复合句， 其结构可以分为两大层。第一大层是句子的主干His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those,主谓宾结构非常清晰，后面的among those是状语表示“在一些人中的骄傲自满”;第二大层是those后面三个从句:首先是who引导的定语从句来修饰those，其中里面又有that引导的宾语从句做believe的宾语，最后还有一个...at.t..引导的结果状语从句。

[参考译文]

因此，对于那些认为英语的国际地位无懈可击、甚至觉得他们的年青后辈们不需要学习其他语言的人而言，他的分析可能会给他们的骄傲自大画上一个句号。

48、

many countries are introducing English into the primary-school curriculum but British schoolchildren and students do not appear to be gaining greater encouragement to achieve fluency in other languages.

[句子结构]

这是一个but引导的转折并列句。but前子主干为some countries are introducing .. to ...but后是一个简单句，不定式to achieve fluency in other languages做目的状语。

[参考译文]

众多国家正在将英语引进小学课程，但是，英国学童和学生似乎没有受到更多的鼓励去学会流利地使用其他语言。

49、

The changes identified by David Graddol all present clear and major challenges to UK's providers of English language teaching to people of other countries and to broader education business sectors.

[句子结构]

本句主句为the changes.. .present clear and major challenges to... ;identifed by David Graddol过去分词作后置定语修饰the changes。

[参考译文]

大卫葛拉尔多所发现的变化给教授他国人士英语的英国机构以及更广阔的教育市场带来了显而易见的巨大挑战。

50、

It gives a basis to all organizations which seek to promote the learning and use of English, a basis for planning to meet the possibilities of what could be a very different operating environment.

[句子结构]

这句主句为It gives a basis..; which引导的定语从句,修饰all organizations;逗号后abasis是前面abasis的同位语，后面的for的介词结构做状语表对象;of后是由what引导的宾语从句，表达与possibilities的所属关系。

[参考译文]

这给所有致力于推广英语学习和使用的机构提供了一个制定规划的依据，让我们能够应对未来完全不同的操作环境里出现的各种可能性。

【全文译文】

英语是世界上国际间交流的主要语言，英语的使用明显在不断增加，持续达数十年。(46) 但即使是说英语的人数再进一步扩大的同时，仍有迹象表明，英语的全球性优势地位在可预见的未来可能会逐渐减弱。

在国际、经济、技术和文化等方面复杂的变化可能开始削弱英语作为全球市场交流语言的领先地位。英国那些因语言广泛使用而享有优势的利益集团也因此会面对新的压力，戴维●格拉多的研究强调了这些现实可能出现的情况。(47)有些人可能会认为英语在世界上的地位很稳定，英国的年轻人不需要堂握其他语言:格拉多的分析因此应该会打消这些人的自满情绪。

戴维●格拉多断定，只会说英语这一门语言的毕业生前途黯淡，而来自其他国家会说多门语言的年轻人会有竞争优势，在国际公司或国际组织中会把来自英国的对手比下去。同时，(48) 很多国家正把英语纳入小学课程，但是似乎并没有人给于英国的大、中、小学生更多的鼓励，让他们能去熟练的堂握其他语言。

如果听之任之，这样的趋势会削弱英语在国际教育市场的相对优势，而像西班牙语、阿拉伯语、普通话等语言相关教育资源的需求就会增加，使用日语、法语、德语等其他语言进行的国际商业流程外包也会扩大。

(49)戴维.格拉多指出的这些变化明显给英国教他国人民英语的教育机构，还给广大从事教直行业的公司，都带来了巨大的挑战。英语教学机构直接给英国带来了近13亿英镑的隐形出口收入，其他与教育相关的出口收入则达每年100亿英镑。随着国际教育市场的扩大，在说英语的主要国家留学的国际学生数量最近出现下滑，尤其是如果还没有阻止这种下滑趋势的有效战略措施，这种趋势仍然有可能持续。

这一研究预测需求可能产生变化，这一点意义非凡。(50) 这给试图推广英语学习和使用的所有机构提供了二个制定规划的基本依据，据此去应该对可能出会出现的=个完全不同的运行环境。这是一个必不可少的、务实的方式。因此无论从哪方面来说，那些想要影响未来的人应该为此做好准备。
