上海外国语大学2017年MTI英语翻译硕士考研真题（回忆版）
一、翻译硕士英语（211） 1.选择题（20*1')
考单词为主，后面有几道语法。单词以专八词汇为主，少量的gre词汇。 2.阅读（20*1'）
四篇阅读，个人觉得很简单，文章很短，只有一面的长度吧，用专八阅读练习足够了。
3.改错（10*1'）
比专八改错简单、前几年考的是修辞和英美文化常识、或古希腊神话典故。 4.作文（50分，500字） 谈谈你对happiness的定义。
二、英语翻译基础（357） 1.英译汉（75分）

To limit our desires comes to the same thing, therefore, as to increase our strength. When we can do more than we want, we have strength enough and to spare, we are really strong. This is the third stage of childhood, the stage with which I am about to deal. I still speak of childhood for want of a better word; for our scholar is approaching adolescence, though he has not yet reached the age of puberty.
About twelve or thirteen the child's strength increases far more rapidly than his needs. The strongest and fiercest of the passions is still unknown, his physical development is still imperfect and seems to await the call of the will. He is scarcely aware of
