以下是新东方在线为大家整理的“2019考研翻译硕士：MTI考研僧玩转翻译(六)”，以供广大考生参考，希望对你们有所帮助。
各位同学，在上次的文章中我们也提及了文言文翻译也曾出现在MTI翻译的真题中。所以同学们也要对这类翻译材料多加关注。接下来我们就看看真题中都是怎么考这类翻译的，以及遇到这类翻译材料，大家该如何应对。以2014年东北师范大学的汉译英真题为例：
“丘也闻有国有家者,不患寡而患不均,不患贫而患不安。盖均无贫,和无寡,安无倾。夫是, 故远人不服,则修文德以来之。既来之,则安之。”
本选段出自《论语·季氏第十六篇》。《论语》是一本以记录春秋时思想家兼教育家孔子和其弟子及再传弟子言行为主的汇编，又被简称为论、语、传、记，是儒家重要的经典之一, 共20卷。如果想要翻译好这段文章，首先是要理解这段话本身的含义。
本段主要意思是“无论是诸侯或者大夫，不担心财富不多，只是担心财富分配不均匀;不担忧人民太少，只担忧境内不安定。若是财富平均，便无所谓贫穷;境内和平团结，便不会觉得人少;境内平安，国家便不会倾危。做到这样，远方的人还不归服，就再修仁义礼乐的政教来招徕他们。他们来了，就得使他们安心。”这句话反映出孔子的反战思想。他不主张通过军事手段解决国际、国内的问题，而希望采用礼、义、仁、乐的方式解决问题，这是孔子的一贯思想。由于是对文言文进行英译，且该部分译成现代文的难度都较大，所以整体英译难度很大，需要考生有很强的文学功底。更需要大家在翻译的时候注意以下原则：必须遵循以“直译为主，意译为辅”的原则，词语在句子中的意思，不可以随意地更换。省略现象应该作补充，特殊句式的翻译也要按照现代汉语的语法规范加以调整，力求通顺。
I have heard that rulers of states and chiefs of families are not troubled lest their people should be few, but are troubled lest they should not keep their several places; that they are not troubled with fears of poverty, but are troubled with fears of a want of contented repose among the people in their several places. For when the people keep their several places, there will be no poverty; when harmony prevails, there will be no scarcity of people; and when there is such a contended repose, there will be no rebellious upsettings. So it is. Therefore, if remoter people are not submissive, all the influences of civil culture and virtue are to be cultivated to attract them to be so; and when they have been so attracted, they must be made contented and tranquil.
