如何潇洒地考过英语一级笔译(CATTI)?
“外宣微记”顾名思义，记录“对外宣传”中的一点感悟，如果某些文章能收到“微言大义”之功效，文刀君就知足了。
“对外宣传”四个字意识形态色彩有点浓，我们更希望做的是“国际传播”，二者区别很大。前者侧重“我说你听”，后者侧重“如何让听者入耳又入心”。
用清华大学传播学教授陆地的话说，“一厢情愿地只‘告诉’自己想要听众‘知道’的东西而不是听众想要‘知道’的东西，我们的国际传播机构就会被视为‘宣传机构’而不是一个真正的国际性媒体，就无法和西方的国际媒体竞争，就会失去或得不到更多的听众。”
中国向世界表达自己，归根结底要落实到“队伍建设”上面，即要打造一支“熟悉中外国情、文化、语言”的国际传播队伍，而“翻译本领”只是这支队伍应该具备的基础本领罢了。
单从笔头上论，会做翻译，不见得英文写作也漂亮，英文写作漂亮不见得会写英文新闻稿或者评论稿。千万别以为英语四六级真能衡量一个人的英语水平，放到实践当中，或许还差着十万八千里呢!
举个小例子，我们的英文新闻稿里经常出现“...in Beijing, capital of China”。这么写有问题吗?要看情况。
如果纯粹翻译“某某活动在中国首都北京举行”，这样写没毛病;但若是新闻英文写作，就有点啰嗦了，因为像北京这样举世闻名的大城市，附上“capital of China”真的没必要，从未见外媒报道时写“London, capital of the UK”“Paris, capital of France”。
最近，有不少关注者询问全国翻译资格水平考试(CATTI)英语笔译一级(相当于副高/副教授水平)的考试经验，文刀君也认为可以趁这个机会再聊一聊这个考试。
文刀君一个人的经验似乎略单薄，好在身边考过一级的小伙伴不在少数，粗略地“采访”他们，还是收获了不少宝贵经验。
1、读书。
读几本翻译理论和技巧的书，好书，一两本就够了。比如《等效翻译探索》《论英汉翻译技巧》(中国译协《中国翻译》编辑部选编)《余光中谈翻译》等。一点翻译理论和技巧都不掌握是不行的，否则翻译水平是“不可持续的”。
学一点翻译理论和技巧，实战时心里才有一杆秤，有助于避免“华而不实”的乱译和“机械呆板”的硬译。
2、要天天洗“英文浴”。
轻松考过一级笔译的小伙伴有个共同点：每天接触大量英文。每天洗“英文浴”，久而久之必然能超群脱俗。但是，文刀君要提醒一点，要选好“洗澡水”。
电影《中国合伙人》讲过一个意思(具体台词记不清了)：平时读国内“外宣媒体”写的英文感觉很轻松，但一读外媒，比如《华尔街日报》，就基本看不懂了。
外媒的文章其实并不难懂，新闻英语毕竟不是文学作品，只要习惯了英语思维，就会越洗越舒服。读新闻学英语可以从两方面学习英语思维：句式和用词。比如，前几天北京发布空气污染橙色预警，不少外媒对此作了报道。路透社用“thin traffic”两个单词完美表达“限制交通”这个意思。动词“thin”多么形象、多么简洁有力!
这就是我们要学习积累的东西，洗“英文浴”得用好水，要不越洗越脏。
因为中英文思维方式的差异，我们在翻译或者写作时还经常“无意识”地犯一个错：拖沓啰嗦。不妨读一读《中式英语之鉴》，或许对文刀君所指的问题有更深刻的了解。
国内“外宣媒体”(新华、中国日报、中国网、CGTN等英文网站)在这方面就比外媒有优势，要经常浏览，积累相关词汇。其实，最鲜活的材料莫过于十九大报告英文版。
“新型大国关系”、“构建人类命运共同体”、“去产能”、“去库存”、“大众创新万众创业”、“我国社会主要矛盾变化”、“精准扶贫”等中国特色表述你会翻译吗?
对于想考CATTI一、二、三级笔译的同学而言，把十九大报告英文版啃透了，就很不一般了!
温馨提醒：以上三条均可在“枕上(长夜无眠时)、厕上(蹲坑时)、马上(地铁公交)”完成。不要以如临大敌、严阵以待的姿势和心态对待英文考试，结果会让你失望的，语言学习需要点滴积累、久久为功。
4、运气。
文刀君“采访”的几位小伙伴不约而同地说到“运气”二字。
一级笔译题型无非是“英译中”、“中译英”、“审校”，千变万化不离英语基本功和翻译水平。当你的学习不以考试为导向时，自然不会在一级笔译的“威名”前胆怯，有时候“威名”是被围观群众抬起来的。
当你以无招胜有招的心态面对考试，“不小心”通过了真的会感到些许意外：啊，原来我也能过，运气，运气......
这几条经验，只能算“武侠秘籍”的总纲，不是招式详解。武侠里的高手，最看重的是“武功心法”而不拘泥于“武功招式”。正如“考试带什么字典”、“时间怎么分配”这些问题，文刀君认为那是细枝末节的末节，不值一谈。
学英语又好比佛教徒修行，万千法门总有一个适合你，可以以人为师，但不要邯郸学步。
