Shedding light on post-mortem test analysis, this book starts from the actual problem-solving process of examinees, basing itself on their current English proficiency. It tells you: improving English skills cannot be achieved overnight, but raising exam scores is definitely doable! The greatest feature of this book is proposing a brand-new sentence acceptance method, also known as sentence reading method. Traditional sentence analysis methods suffer from severe drawbacks, and using them during postgraduate entrance exams is particularly disadvantageous to examinees. 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 the proposal of 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 concepts in separate chapters but also offers highly practical steps with illustrative examples, giving readers ample space for practice.
