考研英语85分:翻译实战“四步曲”,玩转翻译(附2026年英一真题)

核心要点：

• 信：忠实于原文内容与意思。

• 达：译文语言通顺明白，符合汉语表达习惯。

• 雅：文辞雅致，有文采。现在较为普遍的理解，“雅”就是译文和原文的内容和体裁相称，要得体。

【通读全文】

翻译之前，我们需要通读文章，把文章读懂，翻译的时候才能做到“信”。

下面以2026年硕士研究生招生考试英语（一）阅读理解 Part C 为例

Part C

Directions:

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)

【翻译过程】

(46) Tracing the history of the term, we can see how the definition of scientific literacy has shifted over time, muddying the waters when it comes to determining the goals of science education.

同学们一看这个句子好长，不知道从哪儿入手。

这时候我们先找句子主干结构，找出主语、谓语、宾语。

主干结构：

We can see how the definition of scientific literacy has shifted over time.

找出主干后，我们开始断句：

Tracing the history of the term, /we can see how the definition of scientific literacy has shifted over time, /muddying the waters /when it comes to determining the goals of science education.

明确“the term” 所指“scientific literacy”

翻译：

追溯“科学素养”这一术语的历史，我们看到“科学素养”的定义是如何随着时间变化的，这也使得科学教育目标的界定变得模糊不清。

核对：

是否达到“信、达、雅”。

(47)A return to that version of scientific literacy, which focused more on teaching what science is and how it works and less on memorizing scientific facts, seems like something society today desperately needs.
