三、翻译

题目解析

本次考试未见过多考点，甚至一直以来在四级翻译中颇受偏爱的被动语态都没有考到;此外提倡考生适当使用定语从句，以免“言多必失”;此外，非谓语动词作修饰是一个不错的选择。

翻译第一套

茅台(Moutai)是中国最有名的白酒，在新中国成立前夕，被选为国宴用酒。据说赤水沿岸的村民四千年前就开始酿造茅台。在西汉时期，那里的人们生产出了高质量的茅台，并把它贡给皇帝。自唐朝开始，这种地方酒通过海上丝绸之路运往海外。

茅台味道柔和，有一种特殊的香味;适量饮用可以帮助缓解疲劳，有镇静作用，因而广受国内外消费者的喜爱。

Moutai is China' s most famous liquor which was selected as the drink for national banquets right before the founding of the People' s Republic of China.

It is said that the villagers along the Shishui River started to make Moutai 4，000 years ago. In the West Han Dynasty， the people produced Moutai liquor of superior quality， which was paid as the tribute to the emperor. Since the Tang Dy- nasty， this local beverage has been shipped overseas by the marine silk road.

Moutai features mild flavour and unique fragrance， and helps relieve fatigue and achieve tranquility if taken properly， thus winning great popularity among domestic and foreign consumers

翻译第三套：

你如果到北京旅游，必须做两件事:一件是登长城，另一件是吃北京烤鸭。闻名遐迩的北京烤鸭曾仅限于宫廷，而现在北京数百家餐厅均有供应。

北京烤鸭源于600年前的明代。来自全国各地的厨师被挑选出来到京城为皇帝做饭。人们认为在皇宫做饭是一种莫大的荣誉，只有厨艺出众者才能获得这份工作。事实上，正是这些宫廷厨师使北京烤鸭的烹饪艺术日臻完善。

If you travel in Beijing, you must do two things: climbing the Great Wall and tasting Beijing roast duck. The well-known Beijing roast duck used to be available only in the imperial court, but now is supplied in hundreds of restaurants in the city.

Beijjing roast duck originated in the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago, when chefs from all parts of the country were selected to cook for the emperor in the capital.

People believed that it’s a great honour to cook in the palace for only those with outstanding cooking skills could be offered the job. In fact, it' s these royal chefs who have gradually perfected the cooking of Beijing roast duck

翻译第二套:

茶拥有5000年的历史。传说，神农氏( Shen Nong)喝开水时，几片野树叶子落进壶里开水顿时散发出宜人的香味。他喝了几口，觉得很提神。茶就这样发现了。

自此，茶在中国开始流行。茶园遍布全国，茶商变得富有。昂贵、雅致的茶具成了地位的象征。

今天，茶不仅是一种健康的饮品，而且是中国文化的一个组成部分。越来越多的国际游客一边品茶，一边了解中国文化。

Tea has a history of 5,000 years. One legend goes that when Shen Nong was about to drink some boiled water, a few wild tree leaves fell into the kettle and gave off sweet fragrance.

He drank a little and found it very refreshing, which led to the discovery of tea.

Since then, tea became popular in China. Tea gardens appeared everywhere, tea merchants became rich, and expensive and graceful tea set even became a symbol of social status.

Today, tea is not only a healthy drink but also part of the Chinese culture. More and more international tourists begin to understand the Chinese culture as they drink tea.

题目解析

今天对此次英语四级考试题目中的作文进行一个深度了解。

本次英语四级作文话题是在线词典，不难看出此次题目所考察的话题是很贴合时事的——互联网应用，当然从题目本身也可知此次作文主要考查学生的立意和论述角度与立场。话不多说，我们来看看拿到真题之后给出的范文，以供参考

范文：

The increasing popularity of using online dictionaries has aroused a heated discussion as to its benefits and drawbacks. Views on the topic vary greatly among people from different walks of life. Some believe that it is convenient for looking up new words but others believe that it does more harm than good.

On the one hand, an online dictionary is lighter than a traditional dictionary and it saves time. Instead of carrying a thick dictionary around, all you need to do is download an online dictionary on your phone. And a tap on the screen will rescue you from awkwardness when coming across a new word. On the other hand, using online dictionaries too much may hinder language learning, especially for students. Looking up words in a traditional dictionary takes time, but it can enhance your memory of the words at the same time. If students rely too much on online dictionaries, they would probably stop learning new words.From my perspective, it is crucial that companies should update their apps regularly and improve the overall quality. Also, it is high time that people realized that online dictionaries are not only for looking up new words, but for vocabulary learning as well. Only by doing so can people truly enjoy the benefits brought by online dictionaries.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on Online libraries. You can start your essay with the sentence "Online libraries are becoming increasingly popular. " You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

题目解析

本次英语四级作文话题二是在线图书馆，同样也是互联网应用。我们来看看范文，以供参考。

范文：

As the mobile devices get developed gradually, more and more people regard online libraries as their first option. However, people hold different views on the e-libraries. Some believe it is quite convenient for us to read online while others oppose it, for they think it can never be as good as brick and mortar libraries.

In terms of the advantages of online library, it is more accessible than the real libraries. Simply take out your mobile devices, and sign in the library, you can borrow the book you want to read. It saves you the trouble of transporting yourself to the library, and lifts you from the toil of carrying the heavy paper books. Besides, you can get notices from the e-libraries which remind you of the expiration date so you will never forget to return it.

However, online libraries do have some demerits. For instance, you always need a wi-fi connection to activate it. If you are in some place where wi-fi is not available, online libraries will no longer work. But a paper book will never fail you. Besides, reading online means you are more easily to be distracted, while it is the physical libraries that provide you a tranquil environment for you to focus on your reading.

In a nutshell, online libraries are designed to make reading more convenient. But sometimes readers cannot make the best of it. Therefore, it is we readers ourselves who should take the advantage of the online libraries and make it a helper for our life.

(第3套)

Part Ⅰ Writing (30 minutes)

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the use of PowerPoint(PPT) in class. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

题目解析

这题比较新颖。我们直接来看看范文吧。

范文

The use of PowerPoint has gained popularity in class nowadays. More and more teachers are using PowerPoint in their classes, no matter in primary schools, high schools or universities. Some students love it, some don’t. Indeed, not all teachers, students even parents hold the same opinion, as they focus on the different perspectives of the PPT.

For people who love it, they believe PPT serves as a useful tool in class. PPT can present knowledge in a clarified way and students no longer need to recognize the handwriting of their teachers as some teachers do have terrible handwriting. And for teachers, PPT also rescues them from writing on the blackboard, which is sometimes a heavy work. Besides, PPT can be saved and copied for students to review after class.

But for people who prefer the traditional class, they think PPT can never replace the blackboard. As when having class with PPT, students have less time taking notes. Meanwhile, some teachers say preparing PPT is very time-consuming and not efficient at all. Some parents, especially parents of primary students, are strongly against PPT for they regard PPT as a digital product that damages the eyesight of their kids.

To sum up, PPT does have strengths and weaknesses. But I believe it brings so much convenience for us that we can ignore the few weakness it has. And when using it, we can still take the blackboard as an aid so as to present the class in the best way.
