Features: Translation is a systematic discipline in the English language, not only requiring a correct understanding of the original text but also accurately expressing its meaning in standardized Chinese. Since 2002, the score for the translation section in the postgraduate entrance exam English has decreased from 15 points to 10 points, but candidates still regard the translation test as the biggest challenge. The reasons are two: First, the lack of systematic and extensive translation training, leading to limited knowledge of general translation techniques, sentence structure analysis methods, and Chinese expression methods; second, weak English foundation, with deficiencies in vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and translation experience, resulting in a sense of difficulty. Based on the characteristics of candidates, this book strictly adheres to the requirements of the examination syllabus and focuses on translation techniques and practical exercises. It guides practice with theory, comprising 50 basic exercises and 50 practical exercises, totaling 100 test questions, organized into a ten-stage training process. This allows candidates to gradually and systematically master translation techniques, summarize translation experience, and grasp the question-asking patterns through extensive training, ultimately overcoming the translation challenge.
