英語(yǔ)翻譯
The target is wrong,for in attacking the tests,critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill informed or incompetent users.
節(jié)取自1995年考研翻譯題：
1、真題參考翻譯中"critics divert attention"被翻譯成“批評(píng)者沒(méi)有考慮”,它不是“批評(píng)者轉(zhuǎn)移注意力”的意思么?
2、"lies with informed or..."中"lies with"該怎么理解?撒謊?真題參考中并沒(méi)有特意譯這個(gè)詞,我查了字典查不到"lie"在這句話里應(yīng)該怎么理解?
尤其是chaogedaji，
真題原文：
The standardized educational or psychological tests that are widely used to aid in selecting,classifying,assigning,or promoting students,employees,and military personnel have been the target of recent attacks in books,magazines,the daily press,and even in Congress.The target is wrong,for in attacking the tests,critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users.The tests themselves are merely tools,with characteristics that can be measured with reasonable precision under specified conditions.Whether the results will be valuable,meaningless,or even misleading depends partly upon the tools itself but largely upon the user.
真題參考翻譯如下：
目標(biāo)是錯(cuò)誤的，因?yàn)?，在抨擊這類測(cè)試時(shí)，批評(píng)者沒(méi)有考慮其弊病來(lái)自人們對(duì)測(cè)試不甚了解或使用不當(dāng)。
