本次六級考試翻譯試題并不難，甚至可以說比去年簡單，但是卻極具“中國風”，許多詞匯都具有中國特色，這就要求我們在平時的學習中不僅要掌握好基礎(chǔ)知識，還要有跨文化交際的意識，學會用英文的思維去描述中國的事物。只有這樣，才能輕易的在考試中多的高分。

【真題一：待客宴席】

中國傳統(tǒng)的待客之道要求飯菜豐富多樣，讓客人吃不完。中國宴席上典型的菜單包括開席的一套涼菜及其后的熱菜，例如肉類、雞鴨、蔬菜等。大多數(shù)宴席 上，全魚被認為是必不可少的，除非已經(jīng)上過各式海鮮。如今，中國人喜歡把西方特色菜與傳統(tǒng)中式菜肴融于一席，因此牛排上桌也不少見。沙拉也已流行起來，盡 管傳統(tǒng)上中國人一般不吃任何未經(jīng)烹飪的菜肴。宴席通常至少有一道湯，可以最先上或最后上桌。甜點和水果通常標志宴席的結(jié)束。

【真題三：城市化】

2011年是中國城市化進程中的歷史性時刻，其城市人口首次超過農(nóng)村人口。在未來20年里，預計約有3.5億農(nóng)村人口將移居到城市。如此規(guī)模的城市發(fā)張對城市交通 來說既是挑戰(zhàn)，也是機遇。中國政府一直提倡“以人為本”的發(fā)張理念。強調(diào)人們以公交而不是私家車出行。它還號召建設(shè)“資源節(jié)約和環(huán)境友好型”社會。有了這 個明確的目標，中國城市就可以更好地規(guī)劃其發(fā)展，并把大量投資轉(zhuǎn)向安全、清潔和經(jīng)濟型交通系統(tǒng)的發(fā)展上。
