由于考研英语一、英语二的特殊性,许多英语二的考生在备考的很长一段时间内都是按照英语一来备考的,在距离考研九十天的日子里,不少考生陷入了迷茫的状态:我考的是英语二,和英语一采用相同的备考方式能行的通吗?下面KK教授就用一道题目来帮助考生分析印证,英语一、二同法备考的可行性。

英语二的英译汉与英语一不同,要求把一个小段落翻译为中文,而非将句子独立翻译,总分为15分,下面是一道英语二的英译汉题目。

Who would have thought that, globally, the IT industry produces about the same volume of greenhouse gases as the world’sairlines do--roughly 2 percent of all C02 emissions?Many everyday tasks take a surprising tollon the environment. A Google search can leak between 0.2 and 7.0 grams of C02,depending on how many attempts are needed to get the “right”answer. To deliver results to its users quickly,then, Google has to maintain vast data centers around the world, packed withpowerful computers. While producing large quantities of C02, these computersemit a great deal of heat, so the centers need to be well air-conditioned, whichuses even more energy?However, Google and other big techproviders monitor their efficiency closely and make improvements. Monitoring is the first step on the road to reduction, but there is much more to be done, and not just by big companies.

首先我们来看第一句:Who would have thought that, globally, the IT industry produces about the same volume of greenhouse gases as the world’sairlines do--roughly 2 percent of all C02 emissions?

【解析】:其中的难点来自于globally 这个状语到底放在那里比较合适,这里只有通过语义进行判断;roughly 2 percent of all C02 emissions作之前the same volume 的同位语。

【参考译文】:谁能想到信息技术行业产生的温室气体总量会与航空业不相上下,约占全球二氧化碳排放量的2%?

第二句:Many everyday tasks take a surprising tollon the environment.

【解析】:根据上下文可以在这里加上定语,信息技术行业中的许多日常工作;

参考译文:(信息技术行业的)许多日常工作对环境造成了意想不到的危害。

第三句:A Google search can leak between 0.2 and7.0 grams of C02, depending on how many attempts are needed to get the “right”answer.

【解析】:dependingon“取决于”,前面有一个范围,所以这里可以在翻译的时候应该在取决于前加上具体的数值。Attempts在这里翻译为“搜索”。

【参考译文】:每用谷歌搜索一次就会释放出0.2克至7.0克的二氧化碳,具体的数值取决于使用者需要搜索多少次才能得到“正确”答案。

第四句:To deliver results to its users quickly,then, Google has to maintain vast data centers around the world, packed withpowerful computers.

【参考译文】:为了把搜索结果迅速传输给用户,谷歌不得不在全世界范围内建立大型数据中心,并配备大功率计算机。除了排放大量二氧化碳,这些计算机还释放许多热量,因此数据中心还需要良好的空调环境,而这又会更多的能量。

第五句:While producing large quantities of C02,these computers emit a great deal of heat, so the centers need to be wellair-conditioned, which uses even more energy?

【解析】:在英语一的翻译中,经常见到的while表示转折,KK教授多次和考生们提到过。While在这里表示“与此同时”,意味“除了…”

【参考译文】:排放大量二氧化碳,这些计算机还释放许多热量,因此数据中心还需要良好的空调环境,而这又会消耗更多的能量。

第六句:However, Google and other big tech providers monitortheir efficiency closely and make improvements.

【参考译文】:不过,谷歌和其他大型技术供应商已在密切监控其数据中心作效率并做出改进。

第七句:Monitoring is the first step on the road toreduction, but there is much more to be done, and not just by big companies.

【参考译文】:监控只是减排的第一步,需要做的还有多,而且这不单单是大公司的事情。

通过这道英译汉题目,考生可以笃定用英语一的要求来要求自己,备考英语二是可行的。同时,英语一的同学在备考过程中也可以借鉴英语二的真题,互补知识提高自己。希望各位考生在备考只剩九十天左右的时间里,能坚持、再坚持!预祝各位考生金榜题名!
