翻译题目一：为了促进教育公平，中国已投入360亿元，用于改

善农村地区教育设施和中强中西部地区农村义务教育（compulsory

education）。这些资金用于改善教学设施、购买书籍，使16万多所

中小学受益。资金还用于购置音乐和绘画器材。现在农村和山区的儿

童可以与沿海城市的儿童一样上音乐和绘画课。一些为接受更好教育

而转往城市上学的学生如今又回到了本地农村学校就读。

翻译题目二：中国应进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发

电量的2%，该比例在所有核国家中居第30位，几乎是最低的。2011

年3月日本核电站事故后，中国的核能开发停了下来，中止审批新的

核电站，并开展全国性的核安全检查。到2012年10月，审批才能又

谨慎的恢复。随着技术和安全措施的改进，发生核事故的可能性完全

可以降低到最低限度。换句话说核能是可以安全开发和利用的。

翻译题目三：中国教育工作者早就认识到读书对于国家的重要意

义，有些教育工作者2003年就建议设立全民读书日。他们强调，人们

应当读好书，尤其是经典著作。通过阅读，人们能更好地学会感恩、

有责任心和与人合作，而教育的目的正是要培养这些基本素质，阅读

对于中小学生尤为重要，假如他们没有这个关键时期培养阅读的兴趣，

以后要养成阅读的习惯就很难了。

2014年6月大学英语四级答案解析（233网校）

写作

解析：与去年的图画作文模式不同，今年又重新回到了话题作文

的形式，并且所给话题也是考生非常熟悉的，很容易展开思路。更令

人惊奇的是今年的作文虽然有三个话题，但是话题设定的背景信息是

趋同的，都是说外国朋友要来中国或来你的家乡或来你的学校，让你

介绍一下中国/家乡/学校的特色，目的还是为了推介我们本土的文化

特色，看来出题人是越来越看重中国传统文化的弘扬了。去年的翻译

题当中就出现了一系列的对中国传统文化的介绍，像中餐，中国结，

茶文化，中国园林，中秋等等。所以说，文化题材，特别是有关中国

文化特色的题材要成为以后大家复习的重点内容。以后备考四六级的

同学一定要多联系这个文化题材的翻译和写作。
