从最近几年的英语六级翻译真题中我们不难看出，翻译目前考察的方向多偏向于社会经济、文化等方面，日常复习中我们也要提前储备一些常考话题材料。下面小编为大家准备了2016年英语六级翻译话题~话题材料：
请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
为了假期，人们必须提前工作整整一周。这种安排并不局限于劳动节假期。根据每年的官方安排，法定假日前把周末调成工作日，上班族就可以享受“更长的假期”。这意味着，更长的假期要以更长的工作周为代价。然而，公众不是很接受这种安排。网上调查的调查对象中，高达75%的人表示不满这种假期安排，93%的人抱怨假期太短。很多人抱怨负责人的安排，呼吁更合理的假期安排。如果假期是以更繁重的工作任务为代价，那么上班族会无力消受。

参考译文:
To enjoy a holiday，people often have to work for awhole week previous to it.This arrangement is notjust confined to the Labor Day holiday.According tothe official schedule each year,office workers canenjoy so-called “a longer holiday”by exchanging theirweekend before the legal holiday forweekdays，which means a longer holiday comes at the price of a longer workweek.Thisarrangement,however,has not been well received by the public.Up to 75 percent of therespondents to a survey on the Internet said they were dissatisfied with it.And 93 percentcomplained that holidays are too short.Many people have complained about theauthorities'arrangement and called for a more reasonable holiday schedule.If holidays arecoming along at the cost of an even heavier burden,they will be hardly enjoyable for theworkers.
1.必须:除了用have to表达，还可用be forced to或feelobliged to表达。
2.不局限于:可以使用词组be not confined to或be notrestricted to来表达，其中confine和restrict皆意为“限制，约束”。
3.“更长的假期”:翻译引号中的内容时可以采用so-called,例如“可以享受更长的假期,”就可以翻译can enjoy a so-called longer holiday,这样可以表达出原文讽刺的语气。
4.以更长的工作周为代价:可译为at the price of a longer workweek。At the price of意为“以…为代价”，也可用at the cost of来表达。
5.公众不是很接受这种安排:可译为has not been well received by the public。其中receive意为“接受，认可”。
6.如果假期是以更繁重的工作任务为代价…:可译为If holidays are coming along at the cost of aneven heavier burden...
7.无力消受:可以理解为“很难让人从中得到享受”，故译为be hardly enjoyable。
