　　17号上午九点英语四级就要开考了，同学们复习的怎样了?千万不要抱着侥幸心理进行裸考哟!以下是小编为大家准备的2017年6月英语四级翻译考前预测题，希望大家在考前抓紧时间练一练。

　　饺子，是一种以面为皮(wrapper)的充馅食物，它是中国北方比较传统的食物，饺子深受中国汉族人民的喜爱。中国人过春节和其他节日，饺子是必不可少的。相传是我国古代名医张仲景发明的。“饺子”得名的原因非常简单，“饺子”音同“交子”，是新旧交替之意，因为春节标志着新的一年的开始，人们选择吃饺子来表达他们对新年的美好祝愿。尽管时代变了，但是这一传统却保留了下来。

　　翻译点拨：

　　1.深受中国汉族人民的喜爱:翻译为is very popularamong Han Chinese,“受…喜爱”，常用be popularamong...“汉族人民”，直接译为Han Chinese。

　　2.必不可少的:翻译为absolutely necessary即可，即“非常必要的”。

　　3.相传:翻译为it is said that,这个句型是个常用句型，用来表达“据说，相传”的意义。

　　4.新旧交替:可译为 the transition from the old to the new 或者 the new replaces the old。

　　5.保留了下来:可理解为“一直未变，保持不变”，故使用动词remain来表达比较合适。

　　参考翻译：

　　Jiaozi, or dumpling is a kind of food stuffed withfilling inside a wheat wrapper. As a quitetraditional food in Northern China, it is verypopular among Han Chinese. Jiaozi is absolutelynecessary when the Chinese people celebrate the Spring Festival and other festivals. It is saidthat jiaozi was invented by China's famous ancient doctor Zhang Zhongjing. The reason fornaming the food as “jiaozi” is very simple: because “jiaozi” is homophonous to the Chinesephrase “change of year”，which means the transition from the old to the new. As the SpringFestival marks the start of a new year, people choose to eat jiaozi to express their best wishesfor the New Year. This tradition has remained unbroken despite the change of times.

　　火锅中，重庆火锅(hotpot)最著名，也最受欢迎。重庆人认为以麻辣 (peppery and hot)著称的火锅是当地特色。人们喜欢围在用木炭(charcoal)、 电热或天然气加热的火锅旁边吃边聊美味和有营养的食物。人们可以选择辣汤、清汤以及鸳鸯(combo)锅底，再将肉片、鱼片、各种豆腐产品和蔬菜加进火锅，之后蘸上特制酱料即可食用。在寒冷的冬天里，吃火锅成为一件惬意十足的事情。

　　翻译点拨：

　　1.以…著称:可译为be noted for。noted作形容词，表示“著名的，显著的”，同样的搭配还有be noted as,表示“作为…而著名”。两个词组有区别，使用时需要注意。

　　2.当地特色:可译为local specialty。specialty可以表示“特产，招牌菜”。

　　3.选择:可译为have a choice of,表示“有…选择”。也可以用动词choose。

　　4.酱料:可译为sauce。

　　5.惬意十足的:即“令人愉悦的”,译为delightful或pleasing。

　　参考翻译：
