从最近几年的英语六级翻译真题中我们不难看出,翻译目前考察的方向多偏向于社会经济、文化等方面,日常复习中我们也要提前储备一些常考话题材料。下面新东方网考研频道英语六级频道为大家整理了2017年6月英语六级翻译练习,希望对大家的备考有所帮助。
请将下面这段话翻译成英文:
早在100年前,出国留学就被视为一种强国之策。直至今日,越来越多的学生热衷于出国留学。但当下风行的留学热,掺杂着一定的盲目性和随意性,从而导致很多问题的发生,如许多留学生花掉家中积蓄,搭上个人青春,到头来却是半途而废,有的甚至成为恶习缠身的“问题学生。”最好不要盲目地跟随当前的这股出国留学热,选择适合自己的发展方向才是最重要的,因为“三百六十行,行行出状元”。
参考译文:
As early as 100 years ago,studying abroad was seen as a strategy to strengthen the national power.Now,more and more students crave for studying abroad.Students nowadays are a bit aimless and casual when craving for studying abroad, which leads to many problems like exhausting all the savings of their family,wasting their youths but ending up by giving up halfway and even becoming trouble-making students”with many bad habits.It's better not follow the current craze of studying abroad blindly and it's most important to choose the direction fit for oneself,for“one can perform well in any field”.
词句点拨
1.被视为:可译为be seen as或be regarded as,be considered as等。
