PART IV PROOFREADING&ERRORCORRECTION ［15 MIN]

For a wrong word, underline the wrong word and write the correct one in the blank

provided at the end of the line.

For a missing word， mark the position of the missing word with a ”^”sign and write the word you believe to be missing in the blank provided at the end of the line。 For an unnecessary word， cross the unnecessary word with a slash ”/\" and put the word in the blank provided at the end of the line.

Proofread the given passage on ANSWER SHEET TWO as instructed。 The central problem of translating has always been whether to translate literally or freely. The argument has been going since at least the first （1) ______ century B.C. Up to the beginning of the 19th century， many writers

favored certain kind of “free” translation： the spirit， not the letter； the （2) _______

the linguistic barriers were insuperable and that the language （6) _______ was entirely the product of culture， the view translation was impossible (7） _______ gained some currency, and with it that， if was attempted at all, it must be as (8) _______

literal as possible. This view culminated the statement of the (9) _______ extreme “literalists\" Walter Benjamin and Vladimir Nobokov. The argument was theoretical： the purpose of the translation, the nature of the readership， the type of the text, was not discussed。 Too often， writer, translator and reader were implicitly identified with

each other。 Now, the context has changed, and the basic problem remains. (10) _____

参：

1．going∧ since－加入on

题解：go on的意思是“继续”，符合句子表达的含义“争论一直在继续”。

2．certain－改为a certain

题解：此处要表达的意思是“很多作家喜欢一种自由的翻译方法”，第一次出现这种方法应该加上不定冠词.

3．rather－改为not

专八改错历届真题及答案,推荐文档(word版可编辑修改)

题解:根据原句的句子结构，rather应改为not。

4．is －改为was

题解：此句应该为过去时。

5．in －改为 at

题解：at the turn of 19th century“十九世纪之初”，是固定搭配。

6．the －删去第二个the

题解：这里并没有特指某种语言，所以不用定冠词。

7．view∧translation－加入that

题解:在view和translation之间加上that，可将“translation was impossible”看成view的同位语.

8．was－删去was

题解：条件状语从句常可以省略主语和系动词.

9．culminated∧the－加入in

题解：culminate in是“以.。。..。告终”的意思,符合上下文含义。

10．and －改为but

题解:根据原句意思“现在背景变化了，但是基本问题依然存在\"，两句话之间应该是转折关系。

2011年专八真题改错部分

From a very early age, perhaps the age of five or six, I knew

that when I grew I should be a writer. Between the ages of about 1__________

seventeen and twenty—four I tried to abandon this idea, but I did so with

that

I

I was the child of three， but there was a gap of five years 4__________

on either side, and I barely saw my father before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely， and I soon developed

disagreeing mannerisms which made me unpopular throughout my 5_____________ schooldays. I had the lonely child's habit of making up stories and

holding conversations with imaginative persons， and I think from 6_________ the very start my literal ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of 7________ being isolated and undervalued。 I knew that I had a facility with words

and a power of facing in unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created 8________ a sort of private world which I could get my own back for my failure 9________ in everyday life. Therefore, the volume of serious — i。e。 seriously 10________

intended — writing which I produced all through my childhood and

boyhood would not amount to half a dozen pages。 I wrote my first

poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation。 1, 在grow后加up, 考固定短语

2, 改consience为consciousness 考词语区别，consience翻译为“良心，道德心”, consiousness翻译为“意识”

3， 改soon为sooner，sooner or later是固定短语

4， 在child前加middle, 考上下文理解. 作者是三个孩子句中的那位

5， 改disagreeing 为disagreeable ,disagreeing只能作动名词, 不能作形容词。disagreeable mannernisms 令人讨厌的习惯

6， 改imaginative为imaginary, 考词语区别 imaginative翻译为“有想象力的”，imaginary翻译为“想象的，虚构的”

7, 改literal 为literary , 考词义区别， literal翻译为“字面的”,literary 翻译为“文学方面的”

8， 去掉face后的in，face接宾语时是及物动词。考动词的基本用法 9， 在world后加in或者改which为where, 考定语从句 10， 改Therefore为However或者Nevertheness， 考语境。

感悟：11专八改错相对前几年专八改错要简单一点。本人认为词义区别考得过多了.

Demographic indicators show that Americans in the postwar

Europe. Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of breadwinner and homemaker was not abandoned.

1. 答案: height→high, high 作为名词翻译为“最高水平\"，又如reach an all—time high 2． 答案：删除a

【详细解答】 此处steady decline指稳定下降的行为、过程而不是其结果，为不可数名词，故应去掉定冠词a。 3． 答案：went后加on

There are great impediments to the general use of a standard in pronunciation comparable to that existing in spelling (orthography). One is the fact that pronunciation is learnt‘naturally' and unconsciously， and orthography is learnt 1。_____

deliberately and consciously. Large numbers of us， in fact， remain

throughout our lives quite unconscious with what our speech sounds 2______

like when we speak out， and it often comes as a shock when 3______ we firstly hear a recording of ourselves。 It is not a voice we recognize at once， 4_______

whereas our own handwriting is something which we almost always know. 5_____ We begin the ‘natural’ learning of pronunciation long before we start learning to read or write, and in our early years we went on unconsciously 6。___

far。 10。___答案与详解

1.答案:and→while/whereas

【详细解答】前半句意为“发音是在无意识之中学成的\"，后半句意为“拼写是有意识地学成的\"，它们之间是对比关系，故应该用连词while来连接。2.答案:with→of

【详细解答】be unconscious of是固定搭配,意为“无意识地,未意识到”。即“我们之中很多人一辈子都不知道自己的话听起来是什么样的”。3。答案：speak后加it

【详细解答】speak out意为“大胆地说出”，在这里句意不通。在speak out中加上it，指代前面的speech，意为“当我们说出话后,自己听起来像什么\"。4.答案：firstly→first

【详细解答】firstly表示顺序中的“第一”，first则表示时间上的“第一次，首次”.这里是说“当我们第一次听到自己的录音时，通常会震惊”。故应将firstly改为first才合乎句意。

5.答案:which→that

【详细解答】在定语从句中，如果先行词是代词something，everything,nothing,little，few等时,关系词应用that而不是which，故此处应将which改为that. 6。答案:went→go

【详细解答】本文通篇用的都是一般现在时,所以此处也应用一般现在时，使上下文保持时态一致。

7.答案:删除per或every

【详细解答】per和every都是“每”的意思,在此属重复错误，故将两者去掉一个即可。8.答案:This→It

专八改错历届真题及答案,推荐文档(word版可编辑修改)

【详细解答】根据句子结构，句中缺少一形式主语,而作形式主语的只能是代词it，this是“这”的意思，不能用做形式主语，所以应将this改为it.9。答案:community后加together

【详细解答】hold意为“抓住，占据，包含”。此处想表达的意思是“语言用作使社区具有凝聚力、给人归属感的一种方式”，用hold a community不能表达此意；hold sth．together表示“使结合在一起不破,使团结一致”的意思，符合句意。10.答案:far→away

【详细解答】 要表达距离上的远近,在英语中通常用副词away。far表示“远，从（到）很远距离”,不合句意。

meaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them 2.___

“empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary。 3。___But this is a rather misled way of expressing the distinction. 4。___Although a word like the is not the name of something as man is，

vile”, yet the is the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. 6。___Moreover, grammatical words differ considerably among

“little words\". But size is by no mean a good criterion for 8。___distinguishing the grammatical words of English， when we
