1. 汉译英: 节选自英国教授劳伦斯·斯通演讲稿《学问生涯》
翻译原文：
The year 1843 was a tremendous one for humanity. The Economist was founded. Almost as importantly, the modern weekend started to take shape. A campaign was launched in Manchester to give industrial workers half a day off on Saturdays, designed to ensure that more of them turned up ready to work on Monday morning. lt succeeded, and the practice was eventually adopted into law: over time. a five day week has become the norm in most countries.
Whether it is the weekend, the summer holidays that many people in the northern hemisphere are currently taking or the daily rest periods that companies give to their employees. The right for people to take breaks is uncontested. But for white-collar workers in particular, the boundaries between working time and non-working time have become very blurry.
It is standard practice to eat lunch hunched over your desk: look down at your keyboard and you will see far more crumbs than characters. It is normal to look at emails in the evening, at weekends and on holiday.
Deploring this development is too simple: the ability to choose when and where you work suits lots of people. But it has also created the impression that you are always contactable. Breaking out of this trap is hard.
学姐说：
今年的英译汉节选自经济学人2024年8月15日这期《如何在工作之余好好休息》“How to take proper breaks from work”
(https://www.economist.com/business/2024/08/15/how-to-take-proper-breaks-from-work)
基础英语这科已经很久没有从经济学人找材料了，这次被翻译青睐了一下，难度比起前两年也简单很多。这次的文章属于新闻评论风格，语言平实、简洁，主要探讨了现代工作与休息时间的模糊界限。作者通过回顾1843年现代周末的起源，逐渐引出今天的白领工人如何在工作与休息之间难以平衡的现状。
这篇材料无论是结构内容还是语言措辞，都非常容易理解。我们在翻译中也尽量保留原文的新闻评论风格，用简洁的语言组织句子，避免冗长或复杂化表达，保持原文的简洁、平实风格，兼顾流畅性和逻辑性，同时融入适度的幽默感。还要适当进行直译与意译结合，保证准确性以及文化贴合。例如《经济学人》（The Economist）等专有名词和历史事件采取直译保留其本意，同时确保文化信息完整传达。对难以直译的表达（如“look down at your keyboard and you will see far more crumbs than characters”）可以采取意译手法，用更符合汉语语感的表达传递原意，同时保持轻松幽默的风格。我们也要注意中英句式转换以及语序调整，如将英文中的长句或复合句按逻辑关系分解为短句，符合中文的表达习惯。
三、Writing（800词）60分
材料选自美国现实主义短篇小说：Love by Jesse Stuart（原文略）
