2013年7月，全国大学英语四六级考试委员会对大学英语四六级考试的试卷结构和测试题型做了局部调整，调整后的四六级翻译项目从原来的单句翻译变成了现在的段落翻译2013年12月，这一新的题型首次应用在四六级考试中。本次四六级考试的阅卷工作于1月中旬已经完成。评分方式也由原来的语法点给分变成现在的总体评分（Global Scoring），也就是阅卷员根据翻译的总体印象，即文章的总体表达给出分数档。具体标准见下表：

表一 四六级评分标准-考委会版（用于总体评分）

　　由于是第一次考查这样的题型，阅卷组也进行了细致的分析，深入的讨论和谨慎的评判。因此，在确定分数档之后，阅卷员需要通过对考生翻译中的语法、用词以及拼写错误进行量化，然后扣分，最终决定考生的翻译分数。而语法的量化考核也有一定的标准，具体见下表：

表二 四六级翻译评分标准-阅卷版（用于量化语法错误）

　　这两步之后，一份翻译的整体分数就确定了。总的来说，改革后的大学英语四六级翻译项目采取总体评分为主，量化考核为辅的评分方式：阅卷员首先通读整篇译文，根据"总体评分"的原则，确定其所属档位；其次详细阅读译文，寻找译文中的扣分点，在统计扣分点之后，根据"量化考核"的原则，确定译文最终的分数。以下将以2013年12月四级考试翻译中的"中餐篇"为例，给出各个分数档的参考译文以及阅卷员评语。
　　翻译原文
　　许多人喜欢中餐。在中国，烹饪不仅被视为一种技能，而且也被视为一种艺术。精心准备的中餐既可口又好看。烹饪技艺和配料在中国各地的差别很大。但好的烹饪都有一个共同点，总是要考虑到颜色、味道、口感和营养（nutrition）。由于食物对健康至关重要，好的厨师总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜之间取得平衡，所以中餐既美味又健康。
