Zhejiang University Translation Postgraduate Entrance Examination Experience Sharing?

22 Zhejiang University Translation Trial Experience Post

I'm a translation major at Zhejiang University, and I'm going to be admitted now. Initial test score 420: politics 80; French as a second language 72; Translation theory and practice137; English translation and writing 13 1. The retest score is 90 points. Finally landed successfully. I saw a lot of experience posts during the preparation for the exam, and now I want to share the experience of successful landing, hoping to help the students who took the postgraduate entrance examination.

First of all, introduce yourself:

Undergraduate English major; Excellent in TEM4; Katie, three strokes. Master of Translation Studies, Zhejiang University, World War I 2022, with the following achievements in all subjects:

Second, the contents of each subject's investigation, preparation suggestions and recommended bibliography

1. Politics: 80

L Recommended bibliography: Xiao Xiurong's four-piece set; Essays by mainstream teachers; Xiao Xiurong's knowledge summary/Xu Tao's sprint notes/Leg sister's sprint manual.

L The preparation plan refers to several Zhihu experience posts, and the review progress is roughly as follows:

1) From mid-July to the end of August: In the morning, listen to 1-2 Xu Tao intensive class with Xiao Xiurong's "Exquisite Lecture", and in the evening, do multiple-choice questions corresponding to Xiao Xiurong 1000.

2) September-65438+1mid-October: brush 1000 questions+watch Xu Tao sprint and recite notes.

3) 65438+1mid-October-165438+1mid-October: three times, 1000 questions (previous wrong questions)+Xiao Xiurong's summary of knowledge points/Xu Tao's sprint recitation notes/leg sister's sprint recitation manual (three books, Just choose a teacher, there is no need to look at it), or you can look at the leg sister skill class.

4)165438+1mid-to-late October-65438+mid-to-early February: Xiaoba multiple-choice question+Xiao Xiurong's current politics+Leg sister's next step is to analyze the sprint recitation manual (Leg sister will focus on the skill class, except for the other three parts of Ma Yuan's painting).

5) 65438+the first half of February-before the exam: two small eight-choice questions+Xiao Si multiple-choice questions+Xiao Si big questions; I brushed Xiao's multiple-choice questions twice before the exam.

Conclusion: There is no need to start too early. Understand the knowledge points in the early stage and try to brush the 1000 question twice and three times; Practice multiple-choice questions as much as possible in the whole process (remember to review the wrong questions after you finish, and you can sort out the easily confused knowledge points and wrong questions into notes); The key point of the big topic is to recite Xiao Si. If you have time, you can recite the analysis template of Sister Leg.

I don't have much experience in preparing English. Mainly memorizing words, writing compositions and doing real questions. I used Zhang Jian's yellow skin.

Politics, I started in September. I used Xiao Xiurong's excellent lectures and condensed exercises.

I watched the video of Xu Tao, which was very interesting. Read the chapter and do the questions. After watching politics for the first time, I used a small program to brush the questions and recite Xu Tao's recitation manual.

Mainly brush the questions, and you will know the answer when you see the questions. The big topic is to recite eight poems by Xiao Si Xiao. I recited Xiao Si, followed by Master Concabo.

The specialized course started late, but it had a little macro-microeconomic foundation before. I didn't read the book directly. I choose to watch videos and read the macro and micro foundations of Bing Zheng.

He will also talk about some special topics, and there will be orientation classes in various schools later. According to Mr. Bing Zheng, he has an accent. If you can accept it, you can talk to him. He speaks very well and is easy to understand. What impressed me was that I never understood what he said about the macroeconomic genre, but it was much clearer after reading his class. There are also three big books in Nankai, which cover all the real questions over the years. There are also some possible expositions, short answers and calculation questions, which I personally think are of high reference value.

Studying and reviewing I have basically been following Yu Ge's review class, which is more worry-free, and the teaching materials are also purchased. Later, I added various pre-test simulation questions and sprint questions, supplemented knowledge points and problem-solving methods. But every teacher has his own characteristics, and some teachers are also related to Tang Jiafeng, Yu Bingsen and Li Yongle. However, I advise you not to believe in the ghosts and gods of a few people, which is deceptive!

1) Bibliography:

Zhang Yu's thirty lectures on advanced mathematics,

Eighteen lectures, nine lectures on Zhang Yu's probability theory and Zhang Yuzhen's topic.

Various pre-test simulation questions, sprint questions.

2) Preparation process:

March-June: the first basic course. The basic stage is "Zhang Yu's Basic 30 Lectures".

Follow the video and take notes in the notebook (usually some summary knowledge points). This work is recommended to be done well in the early stage! It is most important to establish a good framework. At this time, in addition to completing the exercises after class, you can also do Zhang Yu's 1000 problem. In the basic stage of this exercise, you can start to do Group A and Group B.. )

June-September: the second strengthening. In the intensive stage, Zhang Yu's 18+9+9 lecture was also followed up by video. In fact, it is suggested to focus on the intensive part or start early, because the knowledge of basic courses is really much less! Unless you don't learn math well at the undergraduate level, you can lay a good foundation from the beginning of the basic course. At this stage, Zhang Yu's "1000 problem"

Group A and Group B can continue to finish what they didn't finish. Group c can do it properly, and the workload is still very large. I will also watch some key chapters of the exercises to explain the video. At this time, I will increase the intensity of mathematics. I usually arrange the whole morning from 8: 30 to 12, so I suggest matching the time of postgraduate entrance examination and leaving enough rest time at noon. (I used the old version of 1000 to divide the questions into abc groups)

Note: in the strengthening stage, we should summarize the wrong questions and review them regularly; Exercise must be calculated by hand and avoid arrogance; Develop the habit of planning and using draft paper, because exams are taken one by one; Problems you don't understand should be solved on the same day or you will forget them later; Some questions in Zhang Yu 1000 C group are very skillful and can be put away properly.

9- 165438+ 10 month: the third real question and simulation. The first task at this stage is to simulate with real questions. The purpose is to connect the knowledge points before and after and simulate the feeling of doing the questions in the examination room. At the beginning, I used the real questions from 2005 to 2009 (the structure of the real questions in recent years is still the old version) to connect knowledge points in series, so I didn't have time to do it. I am familiar with the feeling of solving real problems, and continue to summarize the wrong problems. After that, I will do the real problem of 10 -20 years. I have to do it in time at this time, and I will finish one in about 2.5h hours. Then I must check it! Prepare your own draft paper and answer sheet, and use the morning time to simulate the math exam. The number of real questions is limited, so make good use of it! ! After finishing, calculate your own score and make a summary of the wrong questions and papers. 2 1 changed the question type. This year, the focus is on simulation to ensure that you are familiar with the time allocation of the whole problem. If you have enough time, you can do the second round of real questions (I don't have enough time, so the second round is basically wrong and I didn't do the whole set)

1 1 before the exam: simulation questions and sprint questions and knowledge consolidation. Because the questions and scores have changed, it is very important to do simulation questions. Based on the transparency of the real problem, you can start to do the simulation problem. 8 sets of simulation questions can be selected, including Li Lin, Zhang Yu, Polytechnic University and Li Yongle. I basically did it at that time. I felt that Li Lin did it more like a real question, Li Yongle paid more attention to calculation, and Zhang Yu and Gong Da were a little more difficult, but the idea was worth learning. Choose 1-2 kinds of simulation questions and sprint questions. Another important thing is to consolidate the knowledge framework. At this time, the summary notes of the basic stage are used, and of course they are constantly improved during the review process. In addition, if you still have time to read the wrong questions again, you can almost take the exam. You must relax on the day of the exam! ! ! Getting the right score is victory ~ I was struggling with a big question, not only did I not make it, but I didn't have time to check it, so I lost the score of a simple question in vain.

2. French as a second language: 72

L Recommended bibliography: Li Zhiqing's French for the New University, Volume 123; New French grammar of Sorbonne University; Postgraduate entrance examination for college French is a must; French grammar exercises 800 questions

L investigation content and topic type: 30 multiple-choice questions, two cloze tests (each 10), two readings, Chinese translation (several sentences), French translation into Chinese (a short essay, 22-year-old fragment from Unit 10 in Book 3), and composition (introducing your favorite book).

L some tips:

1) Decide whether to apply for classes according to your own situation;

2) In the 22-year examination questions, there are questions about the basics and error-prone details, and there are also discriminatory questions, so I have spare capacity to study as deeply as possible. Some translation questions come from textbooks, so it is best to understand the textbooks thoroughly.

3) Accumulate more slang and phrases and practice writing (practice more topics); Ask the teacher and classmates in time if you don't understand the knowledge points, and ask the teacher to help correct them after practicing the composition.

3. Translation Theory and Practice: 137

L recommended bibliography:

Introduction to Translation Studies: Theory and Application —— Jeremy Mundy

2) Introduction to Translation Studies-Chen Gang

3) Dictionary of Translation Studies

* Note: Books I and III should be read in both Chinese and English. In addition, there are other bibliographies as supplementary reading, and at the same time, you can read more papers by Zhejiang University teachers. Don't gobble up dates, you must think when reading. After reading a book, sort out the general framework of a book and pick out the key points for later recitation. Translation theory has its own electronic notes, and students who need it can contact me (contact information is at the end of the article). E-book purchase materials are included.

L Survey contents: 8 noun explanations, 2 short answers, two-stage translation+evaluation of translation views, and translation comments.

* In addition to the entries in the book, translation theory needs to understand the research hotspots in recent years, and it is likely to be tested. Regarding translation criticism, you can read some books and papers on translation criticism and appreciation; After you have a certain theoretical and practical foundation, you can begin to practice translating comments. You can practice commenting on other people's translations or analyzing your own translations (translation methods, skills, etc. ).

L Summary: The most important theory must be understood and mastered. In addition, you need to read books and papers related to your major extensively. For a theory, we should not only know what its content is, but also know its advantages and disadvantages.

* Note: As this course overlaps with translation and writing, the translation practice will be discussed in the next section.

English translation and writing: 13 1

L recommended bibliography:

1) Breaking through English-Chinese Translation in Twelve Days-Translation Articles-Brother Five

2)90 days to conquer CATTI level 3 translation-Han Gang

3) A Concise Course of English-Chinese Translation-Biography of Zhuang Yi

4) Tourism English-Chinese Translation Course-Chen Gang

5) Master of Translation Yellow Book (Master of Translation English)

6) English version of Selected Modern Prose of China-Zhang Peiji

7) Excellent Prose 108- Qiaoping District, Song Hongwei, Rong Shu

L investigation content: 22 years, E-C is tourism translation, C-E is prose translation, and composition is translation criticism.

L review progress:

1) In March and April, because I was still relatively free, and I took the CATTI exam three times in the first half of the year, I learned Twelve Breakthroughs in English-Chinese Translation-Translation Articles in class with Teacher Brother Five during this period, did exercises in this book, and also practiced some Spark's TEM-8 translation. The skills described by Brother Five in this book can help zero-based friends get started quickly, but this set of materials alone is far from enough to improve the quality of translation. (Students with a certain foundation can skip this step ~)

2) July-August: Learn "Overcoming CATTI Level 3 Translation in 90 Days" with teacher Han Gang's online class, do fragment translation exercises in the book, and accumulate some expressions. Teacher Han Gang will explain in detail how to improve translation and give some better sentences and expressions. You can accumulate it and try to apply it to your own translation when practicing translation.

3) August-September: Zhuang Yichuan's concise English-Chinese translation course, one unit a day. Do exercises after learning bilingual reading.

4) September-165438+1October: English-Chinese Translation of Tourism, the translation exercises of MTI in some universities over the years in the Yellow Book (English version), and the real questions in most areas of Zhejiang Province over the years.

5)11-65438+Chinese-English translation practice in February: I did some real questions in Zhejiang University and practiced the translation of some articles in "Excellent Prose 108".

L summary: learn more and accumulate more in the early stage, so we must keep practicing. After translation, combine analysis and reference to the translation, modify your own translation and accumulate expression. Try to ensure a certain amount of translation every day until the exam. I only use the first volume of Selected Essays of Zhang Peiji and study one or two articles with the official WeChat account every week. I will choose fragments or recite the whole translation I like.

L composition: the composition questions in 20 years and 2 1 year are similar to basic English, so I chose the yellow book of the translation master.

Some composition exercises in (translation basics) have also accumulated some that can be used for composition.

Third, other suggestions:

1) Personally, I think professional courses are still the main courses, and foreign affairs and politics can be done without dragging their feet. Of course, it is best to get high marks ~

2) Ensure word and reading input. For example, TEM-8, GRE words, at least can be seen to know the Chinese meaning, and can be used best. In addition, accumulate some phrases and expressions; You can read some foreign periodicals or English reports.

3) Review arrangement and experience are for reference only, and should be adjusted according to your own situation.

How many hours do you study a day during the preparation period?

Speaking of this, it's really embarrassing. I thought of forest for a while, but I didn't stick to it, so I uninstalled it in a rage. I don't remember the time to study. I have read the experience post of senior sister before, and found that senior sister studies 10 hours every day in the later period, so you can refer to it. I can't seem to study that long. At the same time, don't be anxious by some postgraduate bloggers, and study 16 hours every day. Personally, I think it is not desirable. Studying for such a long time is very tiring, and it is easy to make people tired, which in turn affects the learning efficiency. You can follow your own pace and don't push yourself too hard in time.

Finally, I actually want to tell you, don't sell yourself short and don't overestimate others. Many students who come to ask me will ask me again and again, ok? I'm a vegetable. Can I go ashore? Senior, people say it's a joke that I took the Zhejiang University exam. Senior, you are so strong. I feel much worse than you. Wait a minute. You don't have to do this. I am a very ordinary person, with average learning talent and average intelligence, no different from others. I just took the postgraduate entrance examination for one year, but I just used the appropriate learning methods. Finally, thanks to luck, I was able to land successfully. I believe that everyone is no worse than me, and we can certainly work hard. Finally, first of all, I wish you good health and don't get sick during the postgraduate entrance examination. Secondly, I wish you all a smooth landing. Finally, I wish you all positive, brave and happy on the road to postgraduate entrance examination.

Compared with the western world, the relationship between the eastern countries and China has geographical advantages, and the eastern languages permeate each other. However, due to the baptism of years and cultural changes, an independent scientific system has been formed within the language. While learning western languages, you can undoubtedly feel more foreign languages and cultures. Of course, we don't learn a foreign language to blindly seek the west, only the west is worshipped. On the one hand, foreign languages input scientific grammar rules, on the other hand, they output infinite emotions. After exploring the scientific mysteries of foreign languages several times and leaving Chinese blank for freehand brushwork, foreign language people will eventually be able to do it with ease.

Recalling how busy and pure language cross-learning was in those days, unlike the postgraduate entrance examination now, it seems that everyone has the heart to cope with the exam. Although all the things I learned at first were basically returned to several gentlemen, I was deeply impressed by their down-to-earth and rigorous academic attitude.

I can't forget Mr. Unknown writing Unpadro Corre Rá pido on the blackboard. Let me practice my tongue pronunciation according to this.

I can't forget that teacher Chen applauded me in Korean Chinese class;

I can't forget the awe I felt when I came back to read China's classical literature.

Finally, the full name of Zhejiang University School of Foreign Languages, Cultures and International Exchanges is a platform for learning languages and promoting cultural exchanges. Standing on this platform, children's shoes will eventually talk to the world, understand the differences between different languages and cultures, and gradually open up after a sensory shock.

Literary translation in this year's English-Chinese exam is quite difficult. I read the first three lines of the original text for the first time during the exam and didn't know what to say; There are even five new words in a long sentence, so the basic English vocabulary is in a hurry and the understanding of the article has become a problem; In addition, literary texts also involve a series of complex literary research issues, such as creative background, theme, writing skills and so on. We can't "recreate" the original text according to our own aesthetic perception and image thinking in a limited time, or ST).

From the perspective of literary creation itself, the visible side is vivid words, and the invisible side is emotion beyond the limit of life and beyond the region, beyond space. Therefore, no matter whether you were in a previous life, in this life, in your native land or in a foreign land, as long as you read famous British and American articles, you can be shocked by their vigorous vitality and burst into tears, because it is true, it is the result of the writer's concise expression of the details in life by artistic expression, and it can transcend the boundaries of science and reach your heart. However, we translators need to explore an artist's spiritual world through layers of profound words and discourses, and then we need to breathe in another language. It's not easy.

Therefore, the seniors suggested that children's shoes participating in the postgraduate entrance examination should put the translation of British and American prose on the agenda, and talk with British and American literary works more to feel its language characteristics, cultural background and so on; At the same time, we should constantly cultivate our Chinese literacy, so as to better conform to the reading habits of the target language readers when expressing.

Finally, I wish you all a wish to go ashore at Zhejiang University!
