翻译真题

中国传统的待客之道要求饭菜丰富多样，让客人吃不完。中国宴席上典型的菜单包括开席的一套凉菜及其后的热菜，例如肉类、鸡鸭、蔬菜等。大多数宴席上，全鱼被认为是必不可少的，除非已经上过各式海鲜。如今，中国人喜欢把西方特色菜与传统中式菜肴融于一席，因此牛排上桌也不少见。沙拉也已流行起来，尽管传统上中国人一般不吃任何未经烹饪的菜肴。宴席通常至少有一道汤，可以最先上或最后上桌。甜点和水果通常标志宴席的结束。

写作答案

Practice is the Key to Knowledge

Nowadays almost every person has a clear notion about the importance of knowledge, with which we can make great difference to our world. However, the contribution of practice should also be awarded.

Practice is considered significant because it can turn abstract ideas into tangible results. Only through practice can we truly develop our own understanding about the essence of the new knowledge, or else the treasure of knowledge would still be words printed on papers. Moreover, the vilification of new theories requires us to focus more on the practical side, which helps people to learn better compared with the mechanical way of reading and memorizing. In addition, practice makes people acquire information in an active way, thus more innovative thoughts are likely to be generated in the process and then applied to make our future life more exciting.

As far as I am concerned, practice is essential for people to understand, to review and to optimize the information we receive. It is practice that produces enjoyable life and makes knowledge truly valuable.

本题由谚语 “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” 引出话题，探讨知识、实践之间的关系，突出知识的必要性和实践的关键性。话题与往年出现的正确学习方式、知识的实际效用和实践带来的优势都有关联，和大学生目前的学习生活联系紧密。本题难度适中，考生对此普遍有话可说。

正如我们在考前押题中所讲，建议考生针对此话题采取三段式写作。

三段式：

第一段：简要点明本篇文章的两个重点：知识(Nowadays almost every person has a clear notion about the importance of knowledge) 和实践(the contribution of practice should also be awarded.)，其中，先铺垫知识重要性，接着用however转折引出需要重点论述的后者，过渡到下文的具体论述。

第二段：确立观点，具体论述：

原因一：实践能把抽象理论变成具体成果 (it can turn abstract ideas into tangible results.)+ 具体说明(only through…)+ 反面说明(or else…);原因二：实践可以把新旧知识串联融合(moreover,…. connects what we already knew before);原因三：实践能让人产生基于知识的新想法(In addition,…more innovative thoughts are likely to be generated)

第三段：As far as I am concerned… 总结全文，强调句重申观点。

长对话一：

本段对话中，男女主人公就拓展海外自行车市场的问题进行了讨论。首先双方讨论了目前公司的现状。女士认为不仅要保持目前公司在国内的发展势头，同时要拓展国外市场，因为国内市场比较局限;而男士认为继续在国内市场发展比较安全，因为国家会控制海外公司的进口，从而能保证公司在国内的发展空间。其次，讨论到拓展海外市场可能遇到的问题时，男士认为出口业务所涉及的包装、货运、财务等等都会增加公司的运营成本，从而会降低公司收益;但女士认为只要操作得当，增加的成本可以折算、添加到产品价格中。最终，两人达成共识，认为这一问题还需进一步商榷，而眼下需要进行可行性调研。

这是典型六级听力商务类长对话的模式：讨论商务/工作场合遇到的问题，对话双方各自发表观点，最终达成共识并落实行动计划。听的过程中，需要考生注意辨别双方意见的不同点，把握细节。
