写作与汉译英 真题解析
?
一、?写作与汉译英（75分）
试题：
中华民族自古以来就是勤奋的民族，但是最近网上很多躺平的声音，对此你怎么评价，一次写一篇不少于500字的议论文。
?
试题解析：
与往年相比，今年的作文题目在命题风格上有新意，但整体的写作思路与往年大体一致。往年的上外写作题会给出一句富含哲理的名人名言，要求考生对此做出评价。今年的题目有些许不同，给出了社会热点现象“躺平”，要求考生对这一现象做出评价，但还是需要遵循议论文规范的写作模式，写出一篇具有思辨性的议论文。
?
今年的写作题目虽然不长，但在审题立意上却有讲究。试题短短两句话，但重点很明确，应该落在“躺平”这一热点话题上。考生应对与“躺平”相关的话题发表意见，比如其影响，其成因等等，言之有理皆可。“中华民族自古以来就是勤奋的民族”是作文题目的引入，而“躺平”才是讨论的话题。
?
如果文章通篇谈论“勤奋”的重要性，对“躺平”这一热点话题避而不谈，则有失偏颇。另外，如果只是看似讨论“躺平”，实则对这一现象或成因或影响都避而不谈，本质上与通篇谈论“勤奋”的重要性并无差异。
审题立意确定之后，在写作时也有许多注意事项。一个很重要也是常常被忽视的要点是thesis statement。考生应就“躺平”这一话题发表自己的意见，要有自己的态度，或是支持，或是否定，或是中立。
?
总而言之，要形成自己的观点，清晰明确的写出来。不少考生在写作时甚至缺乏一个明确的观点或者没有thesis statement,那后面主体段的论证就是不知所云了。
同样值得一提的是，议论文的写作是有规范的，文章框架和论证要符合要求。中间主体段的论证可以运用说理和举例论证，有了例子的支持观点更能有利论证。论证时可以采用正反对比论证，即举出“勤奋”的正面例子和“躺平”的反面例子。当然，重点应该落在“躺平”上，给出“躺平”相关的例子。
?
二、汉译英（75分）
试题：
如果你的生活中周围没有伟人、高贵的人和有智慧的人怎么办?请不要 变得麻木，不要随波逐流，不要放弃向生活学习的机会。因为至少在你生活的周围还有树一一特别是大树，他会教会你许多东西。一棵大树，那就是人的亲人和老师，而且也可以毫不夸张地说，它就是伟大、高贵和智慧。
?
树的生命比人的生命更长久，从“阅世”的意义上看，人是比不过树的。所以，你若是到十三陵，看到周围静立在那里的松柏，尤其是看到那种虎卧龙盘的老柏，会不由得生出某 种敬畏和感激一一有什么办法，帝王们全都死了，它们却依然活着，默默地、居高临下地看着人间的兴衰更迭、生死荣辱。在某种意义上，它们就是历史，它们就是帝王。
?
我甚至觉得没有什么哲学比一棵不朽的千年老树给人的启示和教益更多。同样是生命，树以静以不言而寿，它让自己扎根大地并伸出枝叶去 拥抱天空，尽得天地风云之气。树的存在为人们贡献了自己的全部，从枝叶到花果根干，却也从未向人们索取过什么。许多家畜供人驱使食用，但同样也靠人喂养照料。树本来是用不着人养的，它在大自然中间活得好好的，姿态优美，出神入化。
?
试题解析：
今年的翻译试题，保持了近五年上外翻译题的风格，选取了景物类与哲学类相融合的材料，往年的“海”、“诗”都是这种风格。把握此类文章的翻译有一定的难度，要求考生对景物类散文的翻译技巧和常识有一定积累，同时熟悉哲学类文本常用的翻译词汇。
?
通读全文，文章长度适中，理解起来难度也不大。文章看似不难，但有许多细节值得注意和推敲，要想得到一个理想的分数，对考生的能力要求比较高。文中有很多难点所在，考生翻译不到位或者理解不准确会造成严重的失分。
?
比如，文中的“居高临下地”一词就值得推敲。不少考生可能会用“condescend”或“deign”一类的词语。诚然，这些词在字典上确实有“居高临下”的意思，但是要注意这些词是贬义词，并不符合作者的情感取向。这里的“居高临下”可以有两层理解：一是将“高”理解成物理的“高度”，说明树之高；二是将该词理解成“有尊严地”、“高贵地”，所以考生在翻译时要有所变通。
?
这也给备考翻译的考生一点启示，在翻译过程中不要局限于字面意思，更加重要的是意义的传达。另有一例，文中“从‘阅世’的意义上看”的“阅世”一词的处理就要求考生对该词的意义有所了解。这里的“阅世”不是说见过世面之类的意思，而是说在世上的时间，所以翻译时一定要将其本质意义翻译到位。另外，“同样是生命”真的是同样吗？恰恰相反，作者想表达的是“不同于其他生命”，所以翻译成“like”就不合适。
?
字词的翻译对考生的要求非常高，上面的例子就表明看似简单的字词在翻译时并不简单。但是需要注意的是，翻译并不是孤立的字词的累加，还需要注意到句子与句子之间的内在联系。比如，“许多家畜供人驱使食用，但同样也靠人喂养照料。树本来是用不着人养的，它在大自然中间活得好好的，姿态优美，出神入化。”这句中写家畜是何目的？并不是无端任意的。
?
这两个意群间是有联系的，两相对比，为了论证树“却也从未向人们索取过什么”，所以这两句之间在翻译时不做任何处理就是默认是“and”的关系，是不合适的。其中应该是“unlike”或者“by contrast”之类的关系，考生在翻译时应作出适当的补充。总之，这篇翻译有区分度，翻完不难，翻好翻到位实属不易。

一、参考作文
china?is a nation characterized by diligence—an attribute that has been fully valued from generation to generation. numerous impressive inventions and groundbreaking discoveries, ranging from gunpowder to hybrid rice, represent the very quality. however, it is a pity that the once treasured quality is now challenged. there is a growing trend towards a life free from hard work, a lifestyle in which people stop striving for a more prosperous future and give up on trying to meet the expectations of mainstream society. from my perspective, the practice of escaping the pressures of modern life by slacking off is problematic, as it takes a heavy toll on individuals and society at large.
?
for individuals, renouncing the precious attribute of diligence in favour of indolence means passing up the opportunity of self-actualization. granted, a voluntary retreat from the pursuit of goals offers temporary escape from the unrelenting stress and the possible frustration that failure brings. but it also deprives one of the chance to make his or her dreams come true as the realization of any goal necessarily entails hard work. examples of self-actualization through diligence abound. xu yuanchong, an eminent scholar committed to the cause of translation, never once in his lifetime entertained the idea of giving up and leading an easy life. instead, for the very goal of making chinese culture known to the world through translation, the highly esteemed scholar devoted himself to the translation of one work after another without fail even in his declining years. it is nothing but diligence that functions as the beacon light of hope for him to achieve his goal and makes him a distinguished translator. this is a clear demonstration of how individuals benefit from being industrious. in contrast, it is challenging, if not impossible, for those indulgent in leisure to have such delight, however gifted they may be. a case in point is fang zhongyong, a prodigy known for his talent of writing poems.pitifully, fang eventually failed to be a remarkable poet as he wished as a result of indulgence in leisure. it can thus be safely concluded that diligence contributes to the realization of dreams while indolence puts a brake on it.
?
as a matter of fact, individuals are not the sole victims of the craze for leisure. the absence of diligence always deals a heavy blow to the whole society. diligence exerts enormous influence on society in one way or another. most noticeably, the prosperity of society is inextricably bound up with the devotion of corporations within it. society would naturally become stagnant if the companies within it all embraced the idea of wallowing in leisure. the once celebrated nokia corporation, for instance, ?dominated the mobile phone market across the world decades ago and considerably contributed to its domestic economic development, but has long lost its fame for nothing but the indulgence in its faded glory and reluctance to put in extra work to adjust to the constantly changing market. its failure can be ascribed to the lack of diligence to work out new ideas for the new market. it should be noted that finland’s economy had to suffer from the absence of hard work. therefore, it can be seen that society suffers badly from the indolence of the corporations within it.
?
to sum up, it is necessary to put an end to the trend towards an easy life and put a premium on the attribute of industry, as the absence of hard work intervenes with the realization of personal goals and the prosperity of society at large.

二、汉译英参考译文
如果你的生活中周围没有伟人、高贵的人和有智慧的人怎么办?请不要 变得麻木，不要随波逐流，不要放弃向生活学习的机会。因为至少在你生活的周围还有树一一特别是大树，他会教会你许多东西。一棵大树，那就是人的亲人和老师，而且也可以毫不夸张地说，它就是伟大、高贵和智慧。
what should you do if you lead a life without the company of great minds, men of moral integrity, or those of wisdom？please refrain from growing insensitive, following the herd, or passing up the opportunity to learn from life, since at least your life is not without trees, especially those big trees, which will teach you a lot. a big tree is like a family member or a teacher. it is no exaggeration to say that trees embody greatness, dignity, and wisdom.
?
树的生命比人的生命更长久，从“阅世”的意义上看，人是比不过树的。所以，你若是到十三陵，看到周围静立在那里的松柏，尤其是看到那种虎卧龙盘的老柏，会不由得生出某 种敬畏和感激一一有什么办法，帝王们全都死了，它们却依然活着，默默地、居高临下地看着人间的兴衰更迭、生死荣辱。在某种意义上，它们就是历史，它们就是帝王。
judging from the time that they live in the world, people are no match for trees, which outlive people. therefore, the sight of pine and cypress woods standing still at the ming tombs, especially those old cypress trees steeping with stateliness, will naturally generate in you a sense of veneration and gratitude. while emperors of old times all expired, trees remain alive, silently witnessing the ups and downs, and birth and death in the world with dignity. but that’s 
the way it is. in a sense, trees themselves are the history; they are the emperors.
?
我甚至觉得没有什么哲学比一棵不朽的千年老树给人的启示和教益更多。同样是生命，树以静以不言而寿，它让自己扎根大地并伸出枝叶去 拥抱天空，尽得天地风云之气。树的存在为人们贡献了自己的全部，从枝叶到花果根干，却也从未向人们索取过什么。许多家畜供人驱使食用，但同样也靠人喂养照料。树本来是用不着人养的，它在大自然中间活得好好的，姿态优美，出神入化。
i dare say that no philosophy could even offer more salutary lessons than a straight thousand-year-old tree. compared with other living things, trees are characterized by longevity thanks to their tranquility. striking the roots deep into the soil and towering to the skies with the branches, they enjoy the best that mother nature has to offer. trees sacrifice all they have—from branches and leaves to fruits and roots—without any desire for something in return. livestock, though mostly used and consumed, rely on the feed. trees, in contrast, survive without the help of people. in nature trees are in their element, standing with graceful elegance.
