12月四级翻译题目及参考答案(有道考神版)
翻译一(红色)
在中国文化中,红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福,在春节和其他喜庆场合,红色到处可见。人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋友时,通常放在红信封里。红色在中国流行的另一个原因是人们把它与中国革命和共产党相联系。然而,红色并不总是代表好运与快乐。因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写,用红墨水写中国人名被看成是一种冒犯行为。
The color of red in Chinese culture usually means good luck, longevity and happiness。 Red can be found everywhere during Chinese Spring Festival and other joyous occasions。 Cashes often in red envelopes are sent to family members or close friends as gifts。 Its popularity can also be attributed the fact that people accociate it with Chinese revolution and Communist Party。 However, it does not always equal to good luck and joy in that the name of the dead used to be written in red。 Using red ink to write names of Chinese people were seen as an offense。
翻译二(白色)
随着中国的改革开放,如今很多年轻人都喜欢举行西式婚礼。新娘在婚礼上穿着白色婚纱,因为白色被认为是纯洁的象征。然而,在中国传统文化中,白色经常是葬礼上使用的颜色。因此务必记住,白花一定不要用作祝人康复的礼物,尤其不要送给老年人或危重病人。同样,礼金也不能装在白色信封里,而要装在红色信封里。
With China’s reform and opening up, many young people tend to hold Western-style weddings these days。 The bride wears a white wedding dress at the wedding, because white is considered as a symbol of purity。 However, in traditional Chinese culture, white is often used in funerals, so be sure to remember that white flowers must not be used as a gift to the patient, especially not to the seniors or patients in critical conditions。 Similarly, the cash gift cannot be packed in a white envelope, but in a red envelope。
四级作文第一篇

参考范文:
Stated-owned business or Joint venture
Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice,which is truly a tough choice。 Students‘ opinions differ greatly on this issue。 Some hold that there is no better way to get a decent job than working in a stated-owned business which will guarantee my life after retirement, but others take the attitude that a joint venture outweighs any other jobs as it may provide higher income for employees。
As to myself, I prefer the latter view。 A joint venture, especially a high-salary joint venture, exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me。 Although it might be impossible to make sure my retirement pension is good enough, high-salary is exactly what I need just now。 In my view, our career choices largely depend on where we want to stay for the rest of life。 For me, metropolis is the place where I can grasp loads of opportunities and achieve my personal dreams。 As I hold the view that live in the moment, not the future, and also in order to finance myself in some aspects such as the transportation, the house-renting, or social activities, a joint venture can satisfy my needs for the consumption I mentioned above。
In short, a joint venture is the first and only consideration in my choice of career。

Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice,which is truly a tough choice。 Students‘ opinions differ greatly on this issue。 Some hold that priority should be given to start a business of your own, but others take the attitude that finding a job is the best choice influencing their future。
As to myself, I prefer the latter view。 An opportunity to start a business exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me。 In my view, With the competition in the job market becoming increasingly fierce for college graduates, some ambitious students have tried their hands at launching their own businesses。 Over the years,there have been many successful cases of student entrepreneurship and such attempts should be encouraged and promoted by both the universities and the society at large。 What’s more ,College students who start businesses are pioneers,among whom will be born China’s future business leaders。 Faced with unknown challenges, they are audacious enough to embark on a perilous journey while most of their peers enjoy stable salaries by working as white-collars at high-end office buildings。
All in all, the essential difference between the students who find a job or those students who create their own businesses is that the former are docile followers whereas the latter are aggressive trailblazers。 For this reason, business-launching college graduates are more admirable, and thus they command our deep respect。

Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice,which is truly a tough choice。 Students‘ opinions differ greatly on this issue。 Some hold that priority should be given to take a job, but others take the attitude that going to a graduate school is the most critical factor influencing their future career choices。
As to myself, I prefer the latter view。 A higher educational background exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me。 This phenomenon that the graduates have difficulties in finding job after their graduation can easily be found anywhere in our daily life, especially on campus。 On the one hand, with the improved high education of Chinese college students which directly brought the result that there are more and more graduates every year。 On the contrary, job vacancies don’t increase that fast。 More people, less food, which is the exact description of the hard condition。 On the other hand, more and more people go on to pursue their master and doctor degree; more and more Chinese oversea students come back to China to hunt better working chances。 It is sure that the competition is more and more fierce。
Therefore, it is high time that we took effective measures to improve our own competitiveness。 That is the secret of success in the future employm

精彩范文
In the past two years of my college life, I have never ceased to think what kind of work I shall take up upon graduation。 Although my ideas are not consistent, I have now decided to start a business of my own as my lifelong career。
A variety of factors have led me to make this decision over other more lucrative ones。 To begin with, running my own business means freedom and independence。 As a person having my own business, I am free to use my own ideas and make my own decisions, a privilege not everyone can have, even those with highly-paid positions。 More importantly, I like starting my own business in that it offers a certain peace of mind。 No more rushing to catch a morning bus, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more worries about your paycheck which is steady, if not handsome。
Nothing, not even a big salary, can equal for the satisfaction of being your own boss and a gentle peace of life。
参考译文
在过去两年的大学生活中,我一刻也没有停止过思考:我大学毕业以后要干什么工作。尽管我的想法很多,但我现在已决定,我将开创我自己的事业。
有很多理由使我做出这个选择而不是其他较赚钱职业的决定。首先,创业意味着自由和独立。当一名创业人员我可以有自己想法的自由,有自己作决定的自由,而这个特权不是每一个人,甚至拿高薪的人都能拥有的。其次,我喜欢创业,是因为这个工作给我一份安宁。我无须每天早上去赶汽车,无须为如何讨好老板,如何不落在人家后面而焦虑不安,无须担心自己的工作收入,虽然不那么丰厚,但却十分稳定。
没有什么东西,甚至高工资,可以抵得上自己做主人的乐趣和平静安宁的生活。
