附：阅读理解选段

 

PERHAPS HE WASN’T born with superhero powers, like the X-Men—or the god Thor, for that matter. Perhaps he didn’t acquire them from a radioactive-spider bite (Spider-Man) or from studying the mystic arts (Doctor Strange). All the same, Stan Lee certainly had them! In his autobiography, graphic of course, they dazzled like sun-rays round his head. (He needed those tinted glasses he wore.) Waves of energy shook from his shoulders. For he was the man who had thought up those characters. He had brought Marvel Comics back from the dead, and with it the whole industry of comics, so that far from being something cheap and childish, which your parents didn’t want you to read, they became grown-up too! And wildly popular! And took over Hollywood, and with it the whole of American pop culture, earning revenues in the billions and billions of dollars! Phe-ee-ew.

 

But then his superheroes, and his supervillains too, had problems and lived in the real world, unlike the cut-out cardboard creatures that ruled the genre until he chanced along. In fact you might not notice they had powers at all. Like Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four, a nerdy scientist, who when pitted against Doctor Doom and his robot army could spool out into any length and shape! Or Peter Parker, just another adolescent worried about spots and girls, who when the Green Goblin loomed was suddenly Spidey, scaling skyscrapers and running across ceilings! Or Ben Grimm, a Jewish scrapper from Yancy Street who became the rocky orange bruiser known as the Thing, yelling “Clobberin’ time!”

 

So you would never have suspected anything of Stanley Leiber as he was growing up poor in Manhattan, with his father out of work, living on hot dogs and wandering the streets alone in summer while his friends were away at the camps his parents couldn’t afford. But he could feel that inner strength stirring! It came from words. He read and read and read. Adventure tales, Mark Twain, Jules Verne, Zola, Dickens, Shakespeare. He loved the sound of words, the music of vowels and consonants jostling each other. Inside him, he really believed, lay the Great American Novel!

 

Yet he stumbled into comic-book writing instead, at Timely Comics, Marvel as it became. And wallowed in embarrassment! People scorned him for his silly trade. On the literary totem pole in New York Stanley Lieber was the lowest of the low. Yet they did not know—even he did not know!—that as soon as he had signed himself “Stan Lee” on his first bit of text-filler in 1941, hiding himself as he thought, he was putting on his superhero clothes! Once the bright beams of his new ideas had dazzled his boss at Marvel (it took a while), nothing stopped him! Pulse-pounding characters flowed from him all the time. He could write five books a week. Sales of Marvel’s titles rose from 18.7m in 1961 to 32m in 1965 until DC Comics, and Superman and Batman, were stunned and reeling! Stan Lee’s legions of fans and true believers were exhorted to march onwards, shouting his watchword “Excelsior!” To the highest!

 

He revelled in his powers. These creations were not only living, breathing people, with the thought-balloons he had invented bubbling from their troubled heads. They also had their own words, their own melody, from the poetic turns of that sleek spacefarer, the Silver Surfer (“I, too, sense the icy touch of dread disaster!”) to the Shakespearean tones of Thor (“Whither goest thou?”) He resurrected Captain America, an old favourite, pulling him out of the Arctic ice cap to save the world again. He defied the massed sniffing prudes of the Comics Code Authority by writing about racism and drug abuse, until they capitulated! The X-Men, erupting in his brain in 1963, spoke for all outcasts, black, gay, disabled, who felt like mutants. But he challenged hippies and peace-marchers just as much by making them love Iron Man, a billionaire arms-maker, as a hero and not a villain! (That would have been too easy.) He had heroes who fought against themselves, like Dr Bruce Banner, who became that livid green monster, the Incredible Hulk! And tried to cure himself, but the Hulk didn’t agree! Right out of a Greek tragedy. Or maybe Freud.

 

Of course, there were trials to overcome. Two of the best artists, Jack Kirby (Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer) and Steve Ditko (Spiderman, Doctor Strange), felt uncredited and fell out with him. (Well, he was certainly grabbing most of the attention! And who said heroes always got on with one another?) Marvel’s fortunes fell in the 1980s and early 1990s, like those of comic books generally. His attempts to put his characters on TV mostly failed, because directors made them too one-dimensional. An internet company ended badly. It was Hollywood, and the Spider-Man and X-Men series in particular, that turned his luck right round again!

 

If there was a supervillain in his story, it was that other Green Goblin, dollar bills! Commercial worries often held back his ideas. He was careless with money, and Marvel gave him no royalties. He held no rights to his characters until, in 2001, he set up POW! (Purveyors Of Wonder!) Entertainment. Even so, he spent too much of his last years in lawsuits over percentages from TV and films. He wasn’t poor, of course! Just wanted his powers to be recognised.

 

No wonder he loved to take cameo parts in the hugely grossing films that featured his creations! While they fought to the death in the vicinity he played a FedEx delivery man, or a security guard, or a man watering his lawn, or a passenger reading “The Doors of Perception” on a city bus. He was the most ordinary person you could imagine! And yet, through his ideas, superheroically immortal.

福建师范大学翻译硕士初试备考经验

 

今年的福建师范大学翻译硕士初试算是打了大家一个措手不及，其实早有预感。《凯特·肖邦作品选》付梓，标志着从2012年起至2018年连续7年的“Bayou Folks”从此退出了历史舞台。那么退出历史舞台之后，福建师范大学翻译硕士初试的命题趋势会有哪些变化呢？以英语翻译基础、汉语写作与百科知识为例说明。

 

一、文学翻译、时政翻译依旧是考试主流

 

作为师范大学，文学翻译是绕不开的话题，“师范大学”顾名思义，教书为本，若一位文科类教师一点文学修养没有，那枉费了文科生、教师这两个光荣称号；时政类文章也是考试热点。翻译硕士和CATTI相比，CATTI偏重翻译这个行业；翻译硕士的有些部分还是同英语专业本科知识相承接。本科英语专业学得最多的两大翻译就是文学翻译和时政翻译，而“师范大学”终究不是“财经/经贸大学”或者“科技/理工大学”，因此除了文学和时政两块，其它命题的角度比较小。

 

二、英语翻译基础的考试难度会逐渐向南京师范大学、湖南师范大学等211学校靠拢

 

自2017年起，福建师范大学翻译硕士在初试时开始抹去它原本的备考特色，增加考生备考的复习难度。既然抹去了备考特色，考生在备考时要更重视“以不变应万变”，即以不变的翻译套路去应对变换的题目，要紧跟China Daily英语点津，但是初高中的文科术语也不能扔掉。例如今年的缩略语翻译CBD（中央商务区）是出自高中地理课本必修二第二单元。

 

三、百科知识呈现“夹生饭”趋势

 

把福建师范大学2018年以前（含2018年）的真题和其它学校的对比，可以说福建师范大学的题目是一股不按常理出牌的“泥石流”。但是今年开始，福建师范大学出题出现了正规化的迹象，同其它211学校、外语类学校出题方式并无太大区别，百科名词解释题既紧跟时事热点又保证了所有的考生都“有话可说”。而“三严三实”、“两学一做”虽然不是最新热点，但是近些年要常常讲、时时讲，也是热点之一。

 

四、议论文写作陷阱丛生

 

应用文写作、议论文写作的伸缩性更加明显，更突出了人尽其才的特点。对比2018年，发现2019年的议论文写作题目更接地气，区分度更明显。即小学生、初中生、高中生、本科生、硕士生、博士生、文学爱好者、作家、社会学家、历史学家人人都有话写，但是每个人的角度各不相同。考生一定要摆正自己的定位，切不可以硕士生的身份，用高中生的思维去写硕士生考试的议论文。

 

由此往后，揭开了福建师范大学翻译硕士命题规律的新篇章，考生一定要重视起来，要把福建师范大学当成同大连外国语大学、苏州大学、扬州大学、宁波大学同等位次的大学来对待，不可等闲而视之。
