The university museums boasting vast collections are undoubtedly \receiving little attention. Recently, some university in Beijing announce that their museums will grant free access to the public, which is a good start to bring academic collections closer to the general public.

2015年12月四级翻译练习及解析：汉字书写
翻译题目
复杂的汉字(Chinese characters)书写体系是中国古代文化遗留下来的瑰宝。而这一体系正面临着退化的命运。随着电脑和智能手机的迅速发展和普及，年轻人拿起笔却写不出字来的现象越来越常见。若不借助电子产品的帮助，很多人难以写出10万个日常用字。为此，中央电视台开播了一档汉字听写比赛(Chinese Character Dictation Competition)节目，以引起人们对汉字的重视，帮助观众提高汉字书写能力。
表达难点
1.第1句中的“是中国古代文化遗留下来的瑰宝”如果逐字对译为isa treasure left over by Chinese ancient culture，则出现英文表达逻辑错误，left over by应后接施动者，而Chinese ancient culture 显然不合适，故“遗留下来”应省译，而用介词of表达“汉字简体系”和“中国古代文化”之间的所属关系。
2.第3句“随着……的现象越来越常见”可套用句型with…comes a commonly seen phenomenon that.年轻人拿起笔却写不出字来的“现象”的同位语，由that引出，译为young people are barely able to write with pen In hand，“拿起笔”可译为时间状语从句when they take up the pen，但不如介词短语with pen in hand来得简单、地道。
3.第4句中的“很多人难以写出10万个日常用字”可套用句型sb. find it hard/difficult to do sth.，译为 many people find it hard to write 10,000 characters frequently used in daily life.
4.最后一句中的“以引起……，帮助……”，两个并列结构均表目的，故将其译作状语to arouse…and improve…。
