英語四級翻譯題材除了對傳統(tǒng)文化予以重視之外，也將目光放在了現(xiàn)代社會，尤其是有關年輕人的現(xiàn)象。下面就給到同學一些現(xiàn)代趨勢相關的翻譯預測。

1、月光族

原文：中國經(jīng)濟的高速發(fā)展，帶來了消費文化的曰益流行，同時也催生了一批具有高學歷，充分享受資本主義消費模式的年輕人，他們習慣于當月工資當月花。因而被稱為“月光族”(the moonlight group)。“月光族”一詞出現(xiàn)于20世紀90年代后期，是用來諷刺那 些出身富裕、接受高等教育、充分享受快餐文化(fast food culture)的 年輕人。

參考譯文：The moonlight group

China’s economy is developing very quickly, and has brought with it a culture of consumption more prevalent with each passing day. At the same time, it has brought into being an educated group of young people who enjoy capitalist consumption way. They’re used to spending money as soon as they get it every month, and so are called the moon-light group”. This word came into being during the 1990s, to make fun of those born-into wealth，who have received a high education, and who prefer fast food culture.

2、找工作

原文：如今，越來越多的大學生抱怨很難找到好工作。造成這一現(xiàn)象的原因如下：首先，大學生把在校的大多數(shù) 時間都用在了專業(yè)學科學習上，只有當他們開始找工作的時候，才意識到自己缺乏必要的職業(yè)培訓。其次，大 學生之間的競爭也越來越激烈，這導致任何一名大學生找到工作的機會都變小了。因此，強烈建議大學生在課余時間做一些兼職工作，以積累相關的工作經(jīng)驗。

參考譯文：finding a good job

Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training. Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce. And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.

3、一畢業(yè)就結婚

原文：越來越多來自北京、上海、廣州、沈陽和其他一些大城市的大學生選擇畢業(yè)后就結婚。這與20世紀80年代和90年代的情況形成了鮮明的對比，那時候很多城市的年輕人都推遲結婚，直到他們的年齡“足夠大”—在30多歲甚至40多歲的時候。許多人花時間尋找有著良好的經(jīng)濟背景或好看的相貌的配偶，而不是尋找愛情。然而，這些選擇畢業(yè)后就結婚的學生的父母必須照顧這些小夫妻的日常起居，因為這些年輕人仍然在探索如何作為一家人來生活。

參考譯文：Getting Married Rigth After Graduating

University students in Beijing,Shanghai,Guangzhou,Shenyang and some other big cities are increasingly choosing to get married right after graduating.This is in sharp contrast to the situation in the 1980s and 1990s when many urban youngsters put off marriage until they were “old enough”一in their 30s or even 40s.Many spent their time looking for spouses with good economic backgrounds or attractive faces,instead of looking for love.However,parents of these students choosing to get married right after graduating have to take care of the couples’daily affairs,as the young people are still figuring out how to live as a family.

4、睡眠紊亂

原文：我們的身體夜晚需要休息，白天需要清醒。大多數(shù)人每晚需要8到8.5個小時的睡眠才能正常運轉。找到更多的時間、更好的睡眠方法可能是個挑戰(zhàn)。科學家已經(jīng)確認了80多種不同的睡眠紊亂癥(sleep disorders)。有些睡眠紊亂癥是遺傳的。但是，許多睡眠紊亂癥是由于熬夜，經(jīng)常跨時區(qū)旅行以及上夜班而引起的。

參考譯文：Sleep Disorders

Our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives.Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are genetic. But many problems are caused by staying up late and by traveling frequently between time zone or by working nights.

5、設計產(chǎn)業(yè)的趨勢

原文：中國公司想創(chuàng)造世界品牌，外國公司想增加在中國的銷量，這些都正改變著中國的設計產(chǎn)業(yè)。中國制造商意識到，若他們想在本國市場脫穎而出，在外國市場嶄露頭角，就必須設計更好的產(chǎn)品。索尼這樣的外國公司也開始明白，從前海外公司常把隨便什么地方設計的產(chǎn)品拿到中國來賣，而現(xiàn)在，中國消費者變得更加挑剔，他們不再那樣容易滿足了。

參考譯文：The Trend of Design Industry

Chinese companies want to create world brands and the foreign companies want to increase the selling in China which all change the Chinese design industry.The Chinese manufacturers realize that they have to design better products if they want to stand out in the domestic markets as well as distinguish themselves in the foreign markets.Previously,the overseas companies always took the products which were designed in somewhere to Chinese market,but now the foreign companies such as Sony begins to realize that the Chinese consumers become more and more fastidious and no longer easy to be satisfied.
