蒙古族牧民(Mongolian herdsmen)的生活方式很有特色。牧民们喜欢吃牛羊肉和奶制品，喜欢喝红茶和砖茶。他们大多住在圆形的蒙古包(Mongolian yurt)里。蒙古包顶上开有天窗(skylight)，用来通风和采光。蒙古族是一个能骑善射、能歌善舞的民族。每年七八月举行的“那达慕”大会(the NadamFair)，是蒙古族同胞—年一度的盛大节日。大会上有赛马、摔跤、射箭比赛和精彩的歌舞表演。每逢盛会，人们都从四面八方赶来参加比赛、观看表演，宁静的大草原顿时变成了欢乐的海洋。
参考翻译:
The lifestyle of Mongolian herdsmen is distinctive.Herdsmen like eating beef, mutton and dairyproducts and drinking black tea and brick tea. Mostof them live in Mongolian yurt with a skylight forventilating and lighting. Mongolian people areexperts at horseback riding and shooting and skilled in singing and dancing.

There arehorse racing,wrestling,archery contest and wonderful dancing and singing performances duringthe festival.During each Nadam Fair, people from different places come to compete and watchperformances, instantly turning the quiet grasslands into a sea of pleasure.
1.蒙古族牧民的生活方式很有特色:作为段落的第一句，翻译时一定要恰当处理。这里译者很灵活地把“很有特色”处理为be distinctive,表示跟其他民族不同，特色鲜明;另外，"牧民”还可以译为shepherds。
2.红茶和砖茶:不能想当然地把红茶译为red tea,而是blacktea;我们对“砖茶” 可能也不太熟悉，砖茶是一种外形为长方体的紧压茶，文中译为brick tea，也可音译为Zhuan Tea。
3.顶上开有天窗:采用介词短语with a skylight，简洁明了。
4.能骑善射、能歌善舞:中文为并列关系，英文也应译为并列的短句be expert at horseback riding andshooting and skilled in singing and dancing。
5.赛马、摔跤、射箭比赛:可译为horse racing, wrestling, archery contest。
6.欢乐的海洋:可译为a sea of joy/pleasure。

【试题评析】
今年的大学英语四级翻译真题从选材上来看继续延续了之前的出题风格，依然是和中国特色及 传统文化 有关。去年的四级翻译真题就考过“黄色的象征”，“在中国文化中，黄颜色是一种很重要的颜色，因为它具有独特的象征意义。”从 句子 翻译的难度上看，四级对翻译能力的考查注重的是基本能力，没有太复杂的结构，比如大家很熟悉的not only... but also 的并列不就又出现了嘛!还有，遇到多个汉语谓宾结构时要注意分词结构的使用，这一直是语法当中要求要掌握的重点。所以之后备考大学英语四六级的同学们一定要好好学习历年英语四六级真题，因为会出现重复题材或者重复句型结构哦!
