英语四级真题翻译绿色
1. 绿色校园 英语四级作文
It is of great importance to make and maintain a green campus in our university or college. Obviously, a growing number of people are beginning to realize that it is our ty to do that in the present days, since the concept of “a green world” has become the focus of the society.
The idea of “a green campus” is beyond a green environment. To begin with, the development on the campus is to be sustainable and recycable. Some of the authorities’ budget should be on how to rece of the waste. What’s more, we’d better be aware of the seriousness of pollution around us. Thus the idea of environmental protection may become a common occurrence in our daily life.
It is necessary that effective actions should be taken to protect our campus from waste and pollution, and hence these activities are to play an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. Certainly, there is little doubt that further consideration must be paid to our green campuses.
本次作文还是延续四级一贯成熟的风格,偏重校园生活。当然也结合了时下流行的话题,绿色环保。上面这篇文章尽管有些不妥当之处,但能较好的符合四级考试作文的核心:无论题目怎么变,都是以考察学生的语言为核心,不是考查思维和知识面的。所以只需关注语言的应用就行了。还是可以灵活套用固定的套路,中心句+逻辑词的方式,做到不变应万变

Income Gap
1There has been a heated discussion over the growing income gap now.

Besides, these people bring high 4efficiency, and create more wealth. Accordingly, they deserve high pay.
1On the other hand, there are always some people who view this gap negatively. They believe that a lot of crimes happen as a result of this income gap. Some people make so little from their work that they 2risk taking criminal acts to get rich. In fact, experts have long found out that most cases of crime are directly related to low income. There is 3another point to 4back up a negative view against income gap. For most people, income gap may destroy the satisfaction that they obtain from work.

本次四级作文主题为“绿色校园”,这是一个看似简单普通的话题,写起来却不是那么容易。因为很多考生对于“绿色校园”所表达的内涵感觉比较生僻。假如对“绿色校园”这一主题感到难以把握,考生可以从作文提纲入手进行分析以获取对“绿色校园”这一概念的相关信息。根据作文提示2,可以看出此处的“绿色校园”指的决不仅仅是青青的草地和高大的树木构成的校园绿色风景,也不仅仅指对校园环境的珍视和爱护,而是指一种环境保护的文化氛围和师生具有的环境素养,以及由此带来的和谐的人文环境和社会绩效。在深入理解概念的基础上,考生还应对 “绿色校园”的重要性进行剖析,这时,考生可以从多个角度组织素材,比如从校园的环境问题出发,进而扩展到师生的环境意识对“绿色校园”所产生的长远意义以及为未来环境改善所做的贡献。最后是阐述建设“绿色校园”所要采取的措施。需要注意的就是作文给分的重点在于考生如何用恰当的语言词汇表达自己的思想观点。而不是写得越多,得分就越高。一般分成三个自然段,大概十句话,基本的分布为首段、末段合起来五句或六句,中间段五句或四句,做到结构清楚,重点突出,就可以了。

建设绿色校园
近来,随着建设并保持“绿色地球”的观念成为社会关注的焦点,“绿色校园”也成为校园里流行的话题。这无疑会给我们的校园和社会带来长远的利益。
“绿色校园”不仅仅指绿色的环境,还包括人们头脑中的环境意识。学校在培养年轻一代上起着关键作用,“绿色校园”的意识必定会对学生毕业后的环境保护意识产生长远影响。更为重要的是,年轻一代面临着严重的环境污染,有太多问题等待他们去解决。
为使“绿色校园”成为现实,首先应该制定出可持续发展、可长远发展的有效政策。其次,还需要人们对环境污染的严肃性有正确认识并采取实际行动切实减少污染。最后但同样重要的是,有必要加强学校和社会的联系以便在全社会共同努力下使“绿色校园”顺利实施。
范文点评
范文以“绿色校园”开篇,保证了文章切题。第一段开门见山,强调当今环保理念下构建“绿色校园”的长远意义。第二段,着重讨论“绿色校园”的含义,指出“绿色校园”不仅指校园中的绿化,还指生活在校园中的人们的绿色和环保意识,把校园这个小环境和社会这个大环境结合起来,说理更加深刻。第三段是谈及具体的做法,分一、二、三点进行论述,无疑是使“绿色校园”的理念落在实处。结构完整,首尾呼应,用词准确。关系词的正确使用让句与句之间、段与段之间衔接紧凑,思想表达成熟有深度。

避错指导
本次作文在题材上,虽然仍然延续了我们所熟悉校园类话题,但与社会背景有很大关系。刚刚闭幕的哥本哈根世界气候大会使环保减排这个主题成为焦点,在全世界都提倡可持续发展、和谐发展这一背景下的“绿色校园”,同时也是一个社会热点话题,这是我们审题时所必须考虑的。另外开篇时,切忌拖泥带水,应直截了当,使阅卷老师对文章主题一目了然。
除正确审题之外,考生还应注意语言的准确运用,不落俗套。不同句型之间转换时,考生应对句子结构全面掌握,避免句式错误造成扣分。
最后,应尽量避免单词拼写错误。本次作文常见的卷面拼写错误如下表:
正确拼写 词性及词义 错误的拼写
focus n. 焦点 focuse
effect n. 影响 effection /affect
environment n. 环境 envirment/invironment
burden n. 负担 burdon
solve v. 解决 slove
serious a. 严肃的 serous
true a. 真的 ture
society n. 社会 soceity
theory n. 理论 thery
总之,考生在构思和写作过程中要尽可能做到思路完整,恰如其分地选择词汇。毕竟,无错表达才是四级语言表达合格的核心。

【快速解题】本题的题干关键词是annual renewal,academic,merit scholarships和recipient,由此即可定位到原文A few words about merit-based aid这一部分。
【篇章分析】原文A few words about merit-based aid部分第四句指出:“These merit scholarships usually help students pay tuition bills, and they can be renewed each year as long as the recipients continue to qualify”。 这些奖学金通常帮助学生交纳学费,只要他们继续符合条件,每年都可以继续享受。原文中的each year在本题中被换成了annual,原文中的renewed在本题中被换成了名词renewal,原文中的continue被转换成了remain,所以本题应该填形容词qualified。

【快速解题】本题的题干关键词是athletic和a coach or a referee,由此即可定位到原文A few words about merit-based aid这一部分第三段。
【篇章分析】原文A few words about merit-based aid这一部分第三段:“Recommendation for this scholarships is required, since exceptional athletic performance has to be recognized by a coach or a referee (裁判).”本奖学金必须有人推荐,因为杰出的运动表现必须得到教练或裁判的认可。题目把原文的被动结构变成了主动,而a coach or a referee是第三人称单数,所以本题应该填的答案是recognizes。
10. excellence
【原题译文】艺术奖学金要求申请者必须提交能表明其在某一领域______的证明。

【篇章分析】原文A few words about merit-based aid这一部分第四段指出:“Artistic merit scholarships require that applicants excel in a given artistic area”。艺术奖学金要求申请者在一定艺术领域有突出表现。原文中的in a given artistic field和题目中的in a particular artistic field同义,题目中需要填的是动词show的宾语,即一个名词,而原句中对应的excel却是动词词性,需要变成名词形式,所以答案就是excel的名词形式excellence。

大学重新审视奖学金的价值
许多大学给予学生经济资助时,最重要的依据仍然是学生良好的评估等级和较高的试卷分数。
但是在未来几年里,预计低收入家庭的学生数占大学生总数的比例越来越大。一些学校正在重新考虑奖学金是否是利用大学宝贵的资金最有效的途径。
例如,华盛顿特区的乔治•华盛顿大学上周公布说将削减约三分之一的奖学金,减少奖学金得主数,而将节省下来的大约250万美元用于助学金。位于宾夕法尼亚州米德维尔的阿勒格尼学院三年前也做出了类似的决定。
纽约克林顿市的哈密尔顿学院说它将逐步淘汰奖学金。该规定不会使现有的奖学金得主失去奖学金,助学金制度将从2008年秋天入学的学生开始实行。
并不是所有的大学都提供奖学金;一般来说,淘汰率越高的学校,越不太可能提供奖学金。例如,哈佛大学和普林斯顿大学慷慨地提供了各种助学金,但是许多不符合助学条件的家庭为了上名牌大学不管付多少钱都愿意。
对于规模较小的地方性学院来说,他们只是努力填满空缺,奖学金只是财政收入的重要来源,因为许多奖学金得主仍需支付比奖学金金额更高的学费,而正是这些学费维持大学的运转。
但是对于有排名意识的学校,奖学金已经成为招收一流学生和改善他们的学术效益的一种主要工具。斯基德莫尔大学的经济学家桑迪•波美说,“他们试图购买学生”。
研究表明奖学金存在一种倾向,即大部分奖学金得主不依靠奖学金仍能支付得起学费。
“展望未来,更迫切需要的助学金投资”,汉密尔顿的入学和助学金办公室主任莫尼卡•英泽说。汉密尔顿大学已提供10年的奖学金。在这段时间里,在《美国新闻和世界报导》对最好的文学院的排名中,它从第25名上升到第17名。
奖学金每年帮助了大约75名学生,或大约4%的学生,花费大约为一年1百万美元,“奖学金给我们带来了好处”,英泽说,但“奖学金这种变相优惠学费的做法对不需要经济援助的家庭来说,似乎不妥。”
助学金目前仍是学生接受资助的主要方式,包括国家助学金、联邦助学金和机构助学金。但是,从总体上和大学层面上来看,主要由学校和州提供的奖学金增长速度很快。
一项由美国宾州州立大学教授唐纳德•海勒主持的研究报告表明,在1995-96和2003-04年之间,仅就大学的奖学金而言,增加了212%,而助学金增加了47%。至少有15个州也提供奖学金,通常是为了在公立大学中招收优等生。
但是近年来,越来越多的批评已经迫使大学开始减少这种做法。汉密尔顿和其他大学最近的决策可能是“一种迹象,表明人们开始意识到这种破坏性的竞争”,波美说。波美与他人合作,共同发表了一份《大学报告》,对于大学资助不是建立在需要的基础之上表示担忧。
明尼苏达私立大学委员会主席大卫•莱尔德认为,很多私立学校想减少奖学金,但害怕这样做,会使优秀学生流失到他们的竞争对手那里去。
“没有人可以采取单方面行动,”莱尔德说。他正在探索是否能获得联邦反托拉斯法的豁免,以使会员大学可以讨论如何共同降低奖学金。“这是一个跑得很快的旋转木马,没有大学相信他们能承受摆脱木马束缚的风险。”
一个复杂因素就是,奖学金已经在不符合助学金条件的中产阶级家庭中变得很受欢迎,结果许多家庭都依靠它。并且,随着学费不断增加,奖助学金之间的界限也变得模糊了。
这是阿勒格尼大学并不打算完全取消奖学金的理由之一。
“我们仍然相信对成绩优异者进行奖励的效用,好学生很重视奖学金”, 阿勒格尼大学负责招生的副校长斯科特•弗利达霍夫说。
位于亚特兰大的艾莫利大学以拥有47亿美元的捐赠而自豪。同时该校拟采取新政策。今年,该大学宣布将取消特困生贷款,同时对中产阶级家庭的贷款进行限额,但它将扩大其已有28年历史的奖学金项目。
“是的,我们在玩奖学金游戏,”负责大学本科教育的副院长汤姆兰•卡斯特承认。但这也有它的优势,他说,“事实上,这不仅仅关系到低收入人群,它还关系到无缘问津助学金、普通的美国中产阶级家庭。”
* 关于奖学金制度的几点补充
奖学金是向在某一领域杰出的学生提供的资助,通常是指学术、体育和艺术奖学金。
学术奖学金是以学生在高中阶段的分数,平均成绩和学术表现为基础。它们通常是专门为学,
