Shedding light on post-mortem test analysis, this book starts from the actual problem-solving process of test-takers, basing itself on their current English proficiency. It tells you: improving English skills cannot be achieved overnight, but improving test scores is definitely achievable! The biggest feature of this book is proposing a brand-new sentence acceptance method, also known as the sentence-reading method. Traditional sentence analysis methods suffer from severe drawbacks, and using them during postgraduate entrance exams is particularly disadvantageous to candidates. This book teaches students how to identify sentence breakpoints, select acceptable word orders, recognize familiar words, and guess the meanings of unfamiliar words, thereby accurately understanding the original text and laying a solid foundation for translating every sentence. Another feature of this book is proposing specific implementation steps for the three standards of "faithfulness," "expressiveness," and "elegance." It guides readers on how to translate beautiful and idiomatic Chinese. Other books on translation methods often give only vague introductions or brief mentions of these three standards without providing detailed methods. This book not only elaborates on these three concepts in separate chapters but also provides highly practical steps with examples, offering readers ample space for practice.
