【解析】

总体而言，今年的四级翻译难度适中。首先，主题依然是热门话题，互联网发展带来的变化和影响，因此，根据话题可以提前积累好以下一些词汇和表达： “手机购物”：mobile shopping；“现金”：cash；“信用卡”：credit card；。其次，翻译和作文模板常用的一些固定句型、固定表达，在今年的翻译中也能有很好的运用，例如：“……在蓬勃发展”：… has been booming；“……成为一种趋势”：… has become a trend；“给……打折”：give discounts to…；“……仍有很大发展潜力”：… still has great potential。最后，考察内容中稍微困难，拉开分数差距的考点是“移动支付市场”、“随着……的出现”和“构成了……的最大群体”的准确翻译，它们分别是：mobile payment market，With the emergence of…，constitute the largest group。而在语法方面，本篇文章的难点是长句的翻译，尤其是在长句中如何挑选出合适的部分确定主语，然后借助介词短语、从句等合理组织语言。
