　　从难度上来讲，今年的四级翻译题比较简单。从话题上来看，偏离了原来考文化类文章较多的规律，这次考查了三大交通工具：飞机、公交和地铁。总体来看，三篇翻译的句型和词汇难度比较接近，不会造成不公平现象。

　　其中，句子依旧是考试重点，语序的调整仍值得考生注意。时间状语、地点状语、原因状语、目的状语和方式状语仍然是重要的考点，一般情况下都要后置。其次是句型的变化。这几篇很简单，学生用主谓宾的结构比较多，但是也要注意运用被动语态(从中英文语用习惯以及动词发出者的逻辑主语去改句子)、插入语(例如，“包括许多农民和外出务工人员”)、there be句型(非人主语+有/存在。例如，中国有越来越多的城市开始建设地铁)和It为形式主语的句子(例如，乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的)进行改句，防止句式单一。庆幸的是，词汇不是这次翻译考试的难点，话题大家都比较熟悉，同学们可以很轻松地写出来。

　　整体来说，这次考试难度有所下降，希望同学们能取得理想的好成绩。
