详解2007考研英语翻译试题 2007年研究生入学考试尘埃落定，翻译试题成为最为引人注目热点话题。2005被替换掉的试题居然平凡昭雪，重新披挂上阵。但是由于是老题，所以考点依然，做题方法依然。这篇文章阐述了高校普法教育的重要性，尤其强调了新闻工作者学习法律知识对其工作的指导意义。考题体现的依然是被动语态（1句），定语从句（3句），同位语从句（1句），A of B结构（4句），代词呼应（2句）。词汇部分没有出现超纲词，且重复频率很高，我们在考研班反复强调过的核心词汇如，intellectual(知识的), view as（认为…就是）, rather than, idea（观点，看法，理论，理念）, rest on（取决于，依赖于）, while（然而）等词汇再次出现，翻译方法亦如既往，再次告诉我们紧贴考研真题复习的重要性。整体而言过于复杂眩目的句式不多，但是根据上下文选择常见多义词的词义依然是考生们在这道题上失分的重要原因。下面，我们就07年考题逐句做一分析。 The study of law has been recognized for centuries as a basic intellectual discipline in European universities. However, only in recent years has it become a feature of undergraduate programs in Canadian universities. (46)Traditionally, legal learning has been viewed in such institutions as the special preserve of lawyers, rather than a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated person. [参考译文] 长期以来，在这些大学里，法律知识学习看作是律师的专属，而受教育知识的必要组成部分the special preserve of lawyers。Rather than，是考研中反复多次出现的考点，翻译成“而非，而不是”即可。 [选词]这句话中traditionally, institutions, equipment几个词的翻译很值得玩味。Traditionally是“传统地”这个意思，但是直接翻译为“传统地”明显无法与下文衔接，所以，要围绕核心含义根据上下文适当引申，试看：the oil-rich province of Kirkuk, which was traditionally Kurdish territory基尔库克Such institutions中的institution到底译为“机构/组织”还是“制度”？我们经常说We know a word by the company it keeps, “要知意如何，关键看词伙”。那么这个such institutions到底指什么呢？我们说过，英文代词指代关系是就近指代，因此只要向前循序寻找就不难发现Canadian universities即为其指代对象，所以institutions当然应该翻译成“这些高校/大学/学院”等。 Equipment核心含义是“装备”，根据上下文intellectual equipment of an educated person, 稍作引申，“一个受过良好教育的人”具有的当然是“知识储备”。 If the study of law is beginning to establish itself as part and parcel of a general education, its aims and methods should appeal directly to journalism educators. Law is a discipline which encourages responsible judgment. On the one hand, it provides opportunities to analyze such ideas as justice, democracy and freedom. (47) On the other, it links these concepts to everyday realities in a manner// [which is parallel to the links// journalists forge on a daily basis // as
