本文主要论述了在欧洲一体化的大形势下,欧洲电视行业的发展现状以及应该采取的前进方向和应对措施。全文中在长难句方面,难度并非很大。作为2005年考研英语试卷的翻译题,句子难度必然会较前面题型有所提升,尤其是文中所划出并要求翻译的五个句子,无论是在分析理解还是翻译成汉语上,都存在一定难度。但是这篇真题距离现在也已有十多年,与最近的真题相比,难度还是相对较小的。下面就其中划线句子之外的典型例句进行分析:
【典型例句1】:It is not easy to talk about the role of the mass media in this overwhelmingly significant phase in European history.

【难点点拨】:mass media:大众传媒;overwhelmingly:压倒性地,非常地;phase:阶段;

【典型例句3】:Moreover, the integration of the European community will oblige television companies to cooperate more closely in terms of both production and distribution.

【典型例句5】:This also involves the agreements between European countries for the creation of a European bank for Television Production which, on the model of the European Investment Bank, will handle the finances necessary for production costs.

【难点点拨】:on the model of:按照….的模式;European Investment Bank:欧洲投资银行;finances:资金;
【例句释义】:这也包括欧洲各国需要达成协议、创建一个欧洲电视制作银行。这个银行将会,按照欧洲投资银行的运作模式,处理电视制作经费所必须的资金。
总之,由于本文中对于定语后置、定语从句、状语等知识点考查较多,而且还包含不少相关的抽象概念,因此对此大家课下需要多多复习。此外,如果时间充足的话,可以多读一些地地道道的外国文章,如《经济学人》等,积累英语国家的常用表达。
