2017年12月大學(xué)英語四級模擬題:翻譯和寫作
? 這兩年英語四級的翻譯題多偏向于中國文化、經(jīng)濟(jì)等方面,我們在復(fù)習(xí)當(dāng)中應(yīng)當(dāng)多多積累相關(guān)方面的知識(shí)。
話題:
在中國,琴(qin)是所有中國樂器中最令人尊敬的,它大約有5000年的歷史。早在戰(zhàn)國時(shí)期的孔子時(shí)代,古琴(guqin)已成為才子們必彈的樂器。古琴數(shù)千年來一直與才子(giftedscholar)們的生活密切相關(guān)。他們彈奏古琴來表達(dá)自己的情感和夢想。古琴甚至已經(jīng)超越了音樂的范疇,成為了良好人格的象征。大量古琴杰作被保存了下來,組成了中國音樂巨大的、有價(jià)值的音樂集錦。
參考譯文與解析:

In schools, it is part of students' moral Raining to develop good manners. A person with good manners always wins praise. On the contrary, people will frown on him if he behaves roughly and impolitely.
