通过查阅改革后的英语四级翻译题型,我们可以看出,改革后的大学英语四级翻译题涉及的文体并不多,选文的内容主要涉及中国文化、教育和环境保护等方面。因此,考生在平时一定要多读这些方面的英文,以确保在汉译英时更好地表达汉语原文的意义。下面和大家分享2015年12月英语四级真题中的翻译题:汉语演讲比赛。

2015年四级英语考试的三篇翻译文章中,这篇四级翻译难度偏小,没有生僻词汇考查,但是要做到用词准确表达清晰。语法部分也是每年必考的主谓一致(Annual Chinese Speech Contest for Foreigners washeld in Changsha)、名词单复数、被动语态(举行was held,证明was proved等)等基础语法知识的考查,并未涉及从句和非谓语等高阶语法。
