2015年翻译真题，经过命题人改编，完全符合英语二翻译部分大纲要求，总字数为156个词，有8句话，难度与2014年年初翻译难度相当。
真题如下，答案稍后公布：
Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your commute
to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist
and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it’s easy to zone
out from the actual (命题人改编为：lose concentration on the) driving and pay little
attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the
trip has taken less time than it actually has.
This is the well-travelled road effect: people tend to underestimate the
time it takes to travel a familiar route.
The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel
down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems
to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t
remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we
assume it was proportionately(命题人删掉了这个词) shorter.
