2019年大學英語四級翻譯練習題:高考
請將下面這段話翻譯成英文:
一周七天不間斷的學習,這些學生的生活的每一分鐘都在為高考準備,因為高考決定了他們的命運。對于那些來自貧困或者農村家庭的孩子們來說,在這場考試中好好表現,毫無置疑是他們爬上社會階梯并成功的唯一的方法。競爭是激烈的,大部分的高中生最后不得不被分配到職業(yè)學校去。(128字)
參考譯文:
Studying seven days a week, the students’ lives are regimented almost every minute of the day as they prepare for the end-of-year exam that can determine their fate. For many students from poor or rural backgrounds, a strong performance on the test is the only way to climb the social ladder and excel without connections. Competition is fierce and the majority of high school seniors will be relegated to vocational schools.
