Features: In English test papers, in addition to listening, translation from English to Chinese and short passage writing are two highly challenging subjective question types. Securing these two key points makes it easier to achieve high scores in reading comprehension, laying a foundation and guarantee for passing the postgraduate entrance exam. In light of this, we have revised this book based on the second edition, dedicated to a wide range of candidates, hoping to provide them with valuable assistance. The book consists of two parts: Part One "English-Chinese Translation" and Part Two "English Short Passage Writing." In Part One, by comparing the differences in English and Chinese thinking, with the help of numerous examples, the basic methods and specific techniques of English-Chinese translation are elaborated from the perspectives of English vocabulary, sentence meaning, and structure. The postgraduate entrance exam syllabus requires translation to be accurate, complete, and fluent, and this part reflects these three requirements in both its writing style and content, demonstrating strong logical coherence and a seamless integration. Part Two "English Short Passage Writing" covers all aspects of writing while focusing on the introduction and practice of short passage writing formats. It provides detailed analysis and correction of common grammatical and linguistic errors students often make, which should offer significant practical insights for candidates. At the end of these two parts, an analysis of exam paper questions with examples, as well as a moderate number of exercises (with solutions and examples), have been added. Combined with targeted practice techniques and practical exercises, the authors believe that candidates' (exam-taking skills) in English-Chinese translation and short passage writing will improve significantly. Additionally, as this book is a comprehensive version that integrates fundamental knowledge and exam techniques, it will also greatly benefit individuals with equivalent academic backgrounds in improving their English-Chinese translation and English writing skills.
