4.流連忘返:可譯為to have much enjoyment and forget to go back home或者to linger on with no thought of leaving, linger on 意為“徘徊;流連”。

5.歷史文化的沉積:可譯為sediment of historical culture。sediment意為“沉積”。

英語四級翻譯練習題2：對聯

對聯(couplet)是由富有詩意的兩句話組成，通常是押韻的(rhymed)。人們用所能掌握的最好的書法水平將它們寫在紅色豎紙條上。上聯(the first line of a couplet)貼在前門的右側，下聯貼在前門的左側。此外，橫批(the horizontalscroll)是橫著貼在門框上的。對聯是中國獨特文化的一部分。它也是一個同時與中國語言和文字相關的藝術。今天,對聯常被用作中國傳統節日的裝飾。

參考翻譯:

The couplet is comprised of a pair of lines of poetry that are usually rhymed,which are written on vertical slips of red paper in the best calligraphic style one can master.The first line of a couplet is posted on the right side of the front door.The second line of a couplet is posted on the left of a couplet side of the front door.In addition,the horizontal scroll is posted across and on top of the doorframe.Couplet is a part of Chinese unique culture and also an art related to both the Chinese,language and Chinese characters.Today,it is often used as a decoration during traditional Chinese festivals.1.對聯是由富有詩意的兩句話組成，通常是押韻的：“富有詩意的兩句話”可翻譯為a pair of lines of poetry。“押韻的”可譯為 rhymed。

英語四級翻譯練習題4：太極拳

太極拳(Tai Chi)是一系列緩慢的動作，旨在修煉身心。它就像是一種舞蹈，卻不需要你隨音樂起舞，而是需要你向內看,聆聽內心的節奏。它創自數千年前，原本是一種武術(martial art)—一種自衛的技藝。然而，它的武術方面如今不太流行了。目前全世界成千上萬人練習它，主要是由于它對于人類健康的神奇作用。它將身體動作與平靜、冥想的(meditative)心理狀態結合起來，所以也被稱作“冥想運動(meditation in motion)”。

Tai Chi

Tai Chi is a series of slow movements which areaimed at trainning us physically and mentally.It isjust like a dance that requires you to look inside anddance to the internal rhythms instead of music.Itwas created thousands of years ago as a martial art and specifically as a defensive art.However, nowadays its martial aspect is not that popular.It is practiced by thousands ofpeople around the world mostly because of its miraculous effects on human's health.It is oftencalled “meditation in motion” because it combines the body's movements with the calm andmeditative state of mind.1.修煉身心:可譯為train us physically and mentally 或者譯為 train the body and mind 此處譯文的us為補譯的內容，為的是使英語句子結構完整。

The cheongsam is a female dress with distinctiveChinese features and enjoys a growing popularity inthe international world of high fashion.Easy to slipon and comfortable to wear, the cheongsam fits wellthe female Chinese figure.Its neck is high，collarclosed, and its sleeves may be either short, medium or full length, depending on seasons andtastes.The dress is buttoned on the right side, with a loose chest and a fitting waist.The beautyof the cheongsam is that, made of different materials and to varying lengths, it can be worneither on casual or formal occasions.In either case, it creates an impression of simple and quietcharm, elegance and neatness.1.旗袍是獨具中國特色的女性服飾，在高端時尚的國際世界中日益流行:“獨具中國特色”可譯為with distinctiveChinese features,與distinctive搭配的常用短語還有：distinctive features(獨特特征)、distinctivesmell(獨特氣味)、distinctive capabilities(特殊能力)，“日益流行”可譯為enjoy a growing popularity,這是英語中常用的短語;“高端時尚”可譯為high fashion。

2.上身容易，穿著舒適，旗袍特別適合中國女性的身材:“上身容易”和“穿著舒適”分別可譯為easy to slip on和comfortable to wear，兩個結構為對等結構，其中slip on就有“一下子穿上”的意思;"特別適合”可譯為fitwell, fit作動詞,表示“適合，合身”fit作形容詞可表示“健康的”，如：keep fit(保持健康);“中國女性的身材”可譯為the female Chinese figure。

3.它的好處在于可以使用多種材質，并以不同長度制作，因此在休閑和正式場合都可穿著：“它的好處在于”可翻譯為The beauty of the cheongsam is that,后跟一個表語從句，在這里beauty表示“好處，優點”;表語從句中可以使用多種材質，并以不同長度制作”可用過去分詞和介詞短語來翻譯，即made of differentmaterials and to varying lengths;提到“不同”，最常用的詞無疑是different,但這里用varying更為合適，different強調的是“差異”，而varying強調的是“多樣化”;“休閑場合”可譯為casual occasions;“正式場合”可譯為formal occasions。

第二篇：新四級段落翻譯練習題

1.中國將進一步發展經濟、擴大開放，這對 海外企業（enterprises）意味著更多的商機。改革開放以來，中國企業與海外企業一直 積極開展經濟技術合作，并取得了巨大成 就。海外企業不僅幫助了中國企業的成長，而且也在合作中獲得了收益。中國政府將 繼續提供有利的政策和條件，推動中國企 業與國外企業進一步開展合作。

2.獅舞（Lion Dance）是中國最廣為流傳的民間舞蹈 之一。獅為百獸之首，在中國傳統中，獅子被視 為是能帶來好運的吉祥物（mascot）。古人將獅 子視作是勇敢和力量的化身，能驅趕邪惡、保護 人類。據記載，獅舞已擁有了2,000多年的歷史。在唐代（the Tang Dynasty），獅舞就已經被引入 了皇室。因此，舞獅成為元宵節（the Lantern Festival）和其他節日的習俗，人們以此來祈禱好 運、平安和幸福。.假日經濟的現象表明：中國消費者的消費 觀正在發生巨大變化。根據統計數據，中 國消費者的消費需求正在從基本生活必需 品轉向對休閑、舒適和個人發展的需求。同時，中國人的消費觀在蓬勃發展的假日 經濟中正變得成熟。因此產品結構應做相 應調整，來適應社會的發展。另一方面，服務質量要改善，以滿足人們提高生活質 量的要求。.端午節，又叫龍舟節，是為了紀念愛國詩人屈原。屈原是一位忠誠和受人敬仰的大 臣（minister）,他給國家帶來了和平和繁榮。但最后因為受到誹謗（vilify）而最終投河自 盡。人們撐船到他自盡的地方，拋下粽子，希望魚兒吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身軀。幾 千年來，端午節的特色在于吃粽子（glutinous dumplings）和賽龍舟，尤其是 在一些河湖密布的南方省份。

5.中國人飲茶，注重一個“品”字。“品茶”不但是鑒別茶的優劣，也帶有神思遐想和領略飲茶情趣之意。在百忙之中泡上一壺濃茶，擇雅靜之處，自斟自飲，可以消除疲勞、滌煩益思、振奮精神，也可以細啜慢飲，達到美的享受，使精神世界升華到高尚的藝術境界。品茶的環境一般由建筑物、園林、擺設、茶具等因素組成。飲茶要求安靜、清新、舒適、干凈。中國園林世界聞名，山水風景更是不可勝數。利用園林或自然山水間，搭設茶室，讓人們小憩，意趣盎然。

6.中國是文明古國，禮儀之邦，很重禮節。凡來了客人，沏茶、敬茶的禮儀是必不可少的。當有客來訪，可征求意見，選用最合來客口味的茶葉和最佳茶具待客。主人在陪伴客人飲茶時，要注意客人杯、壺中的茶水殘留量，一般用茶杯泡茶，如已喝去一半，就要添加開水，隨喝隨添，使茶水濃度基本保持前后一致，水溫適宜。在飲茶時也可適當佐以茶食、糖果、菜肴等，達到調節口味和點心之功效。

China is a country with a time-honored civilization and a land of ceremony and decorum.Whenever guests visit, it is necessary to make and serve tea to them.Before serving tea, you may ask them for their

preferences as to what kind of tea they fancy and serve them the tea in the most appropriate teacups.In the course of serving tea, the host should take careful note of how much water is remaining in the cups and in the kettle.Usually, if the tea is made in a teacup, boiling water should be added after half of the cup has been consumed;and thus the cup is kept filled so that the tea retains the same bouquet and remains pleasantly warm throughout the entire course of tea-drinking.Snacks, sweets and other dishes may be served at tea time to complement the fragrance of the tea and to allay one's hunger.7.絲綢之路是歷史上橫貫歐亞大陸的貿易交通線，在歷史上促進了歐亞非各國和中國的友好往來。中國是絲綢的故鄉，在經由這條路線進行的貿易中，中國輸出的商品以絲綢最具代表性。因此，當德國地理學家Ferdinand Freiherr von Richthoren最早在19世紀70年代將之命名為“絲綢之路”后，即被廣泛接受。同時，它也是一條東方與西方之間經濟、政治、文化進行交流的主要道路。洞庭湖是中國第二大淡水湖。洞庭湖畔的岳陽樓，是中國三大名樓中唯一保持原址原貌的國家重點保護文物。岳陽樓所處的位置極好，它屹立于岳陽古城之上，背靠岳陽城，俯瞰洞庭湖，遙對君山島，北依長江，南通湘江。自古以來，就是人們觀光旅游的好地方。

Lake Dongting is China’s second largest freshwater lake.Yueyang Tower, which is located on its shores, is a national key cultural relic for protection as the only one of China’s famous towers that is kept in its original condition at its original site.The tower is very favorably located, standing as it does on Yueyang’s ancient city wall with the city behind and overlooking Lake Dongting to the distant Junshan Isle;to its north is the Yangtze River and to the south the Xiang River.Since ancient times, the tower has been a good place for sightseeing and touring.9..目前，人類的生存環境正在遭到破壞，美麗的大自然已經不那么美麗了。保護野生動物，也就是保護人婁自己。我強烈呼吁：不要再捕殺黑猩猩，不要再捕殺野生動物了，讓我們人類多一些地球上的朋友，多給我們下一代保留一些野生動物吧!否則，地球將毀滅在人類手中，人類將毀滅在自己手中。At present, man’s living environment is being ruined, and beautiful nature is no longer so beautiful.Protection of wild life is protection of man himself.So I appeal strongly to all to stop killing the chimpanzee or any other wild animal.Let us human beings have more friends on the earth, and leave more wild life for future generations.Or the earth would be destroyed by man, and man by man himself.10.近年來，中國城市化進人加速階段，取得了極大的成就，同時也出現了種種錯綜復雜的問題。今天的城鄉建設速度之快、規模之大、耗資之巨、涉及面之廣、尺度之大等已遠非生產力低下時期所能及，建筑已成為一種重大的經濟活動。

In recent years，urbanization in China has stepped into an accelerating phase.Amidst magnificent achievements，there have emerged some complicated problems.The crux is that the cities and the countryside are developing at such a rapid rate，on such a large scale，with such enormous capital，in such a vast extent that they have surpassed any historical period China has ever witnessed before.Virtually，building construction has today become a major economic pursuit in China.11.世界各地有3,600萬人染上了艾滋病—這比整個澳大利亞的人口還多。目前，艾滋病是全球第4大死因，而在非洲則是頭號罪魁。在非洲，艾滋病使工人喪失工作，使家庭喪失經濟來源，使父母喪失孩子。在7個非洲國家中，巧歲至49歲的人口中艾滋病病毒感染者占到20％以上。

Throughout the world 36 million people are suffering from AIDS，which is more than the whole population of Australia.At present，AIDS is the fourth leading cause of death in the whole world，and the chief culprit in Africa.In Africa，it deprives jobs of the workers，families of incomings and children of their parents.In seven African countries，more than 20 percent of the 15-to-49-year-old population is infected with HIV.12.由于歷史、政治和經濟上的原因，全世界講英語、用英語的人為數最多。但是英語之所以能在全球流行，除了上述原因之外，也和英語自身的一些特性和特點不無相關。其中最重要的一點就是英語特別容易接受和適應—英語中的詞匯吸收了全世界幾乎所有主要語言的材料。

The English language is spoken or read by the largest number of people in the world for historical，political，and economic reasons.But it may also be true that the popularity of English language has much to do with some qualities and characteristics in itself.First and most important is its extraordinarily receptivity and adaptability-it has taken materials into its own vocabulary from almost all major languages in the world.13.會議期間，有3個問題受到了特別重視，它們是：加強和鞏固農業在國民經濟中的地位和作用，提高農民收人；調整和改進產業結構，改進和加快區域性經濟發展；努力工作，加快下崗工人就業和再就業步伐，改善社會保障制度。

During the meeting，three aspects have been highlighted for special attention over next.They are：consolidate and strengthen the fundamental role of agriculture in the national economy and increase farmers' income；readjust and optimize the industrial structure for the promotion of coordinated development of regional economies；work hard to boost employment and the reemployment of laid-off workers，and improve the social security network．

14.當今世界的競爭是人才的競爭。因此，黨中央決定從海外我們的留學生中，從香港、澳門、臺灣吸收和利用人才來加強我們在世界上的競爭能力。引進這些人才的重點是那些開放程度越來越大、競爭越來越激烈的部門，比如說銀行、保險等行業，以及國有大型企業的管理層。

In today's world，competition among states is mainly a competition among talentedprofessionals.Therefore，it is a decision adopted by the CPC Central Committee to fully absorb and make use of the talented people among our overseas students and among the professionals in Hongkong，Macao and Taiwan.This will help us strengthen our competitive edge.The departments that would introduce talented people from outside are those that are exposed to increasingly fierce competition and that are open wider to the outsider world，such as banking，insurance industry，large state-owned enterprises，etc.15.我們中國是世界上最大的國家之一，它的領土和整個歐洲的面積差不多相等。在這個廣大的領土之上，有廣大的肥田沃地給我們以衣食之源；有縱橫全國的大小山脈，生長了廣大的森林，貯藏了豐富的礦產；有很多的江河湖澤，給我們以舟揖和灌溉之利；有很長的海岸線，給我們以交通海外各民族的方便。

China is one of the largest countries in the world，her territory being about the size of the whole of Europe.In the vast country of ours there are large areas of fertile land which provide us with food and clothing，mountain ranges across its length and breadth with extensive forests and rich mineral deposits，many rivers and lakes which provide us with water transport and irrigation，and a long coastline which facilitates communication with nations beyond the seas.16.如果我們的國家有比黃金還要貴重的誠信、有比大海還要寬廣的包容、有比愛自己還要寬廣的博愛、有比高山還要崇高的道德，那么我們這個國家就是一個具有精神文明和道德力量的國家。

If China can have a level of credibility and integrity that is more precious than gold, if China can be more receptive and inclusive than the ocean, if China can have fraternity rather than love for oneself, and if China can have an ethical standard higher than the mountains, I believe this country will have the moral strength and also will become a country with advanced cultural development.17.為了國家的富強，為了社會的公平正義，為了讓人們幸福快樂地過得更好，為了讓孩子們上好學，為了使我們的民族在世界贏得應有的尊嚴，我愿獻出我的全部心血和精力。

To ensure this country to become stronger and more prosperous, to build a society of equity and justice, to ensure the people live a happy life, our children can go to school and our nation is duly respected in the international community, I'm willing to dedicate myself wholeheartedly to this cause.

二、段落翻譯

1、西湖 西湖位于杭州市中心的西部，是江南三大名湖之一。由于西湖的緣故，杭州自古就被譽為“人間天堂”。西湖就像鑲嵌(inlay)在廣袤大地上的一顆璀璨的明珠，以其秀麗的風景、聞名的古跡、燦爛的文化和豐富的特產而聞名。宋代大文豪蘇軾在西湖留下了“欲把西湖比西子，淡妝濃抹總相宜”的千古絕唱;白娘子的傳奇故事(The Legend ofWhite Snake)也給西湖增添了一層神秘色彩。

The West Lake

The West Lake, located in the western area of Hangzhou's center, is one of the top three lakes in the regions south of the Yangtze River.Because of it, Hangzhou has been acclaimed as“a heaven on earth” since ancient times.The West Lake is like a shining pearl inlaid on the vast land, renowned for its beautiful scenery, well-known historical sites, brilliant culture, and plentiful local specialties.The literary giant Su Shi in Song Dynasty left a poetic masterpiece through the ages there: The West Lake is like the beauty Xi Shi, who is always charming with either light or heavy make-up(rainy or shiny).The Legend of White Snake also brings the West Lake an air of mystery.2、長城 長城(the Great wall)又被稱作“萬里長城”，不僅是中華文明的瑰寶，也是中國古代人民智慧的結晶。長城是世界文化遺產(world cultural heritage)之一，更是中華民族的象征。其在建筑上的價值，足以與其在歷史和戰略上的重要性相媲美。長城現存的遺址有很多處，其中北京的八達嶺長城是馳名中外的景區，也是明代長城最具代表性的一段，每年都會接待來自世界各地的許多游客。

The Great Wall The Great Wall, which is also called “wan li chang cheng" in Chinese language, is not only the treasure of Chinese civilization, but also the masterpiece made by the ancient Chinese people.The Great Wall is not only one of the world cultural heritages, but the symbol of the Chinese nation.Its architectural value is comparable to its historical and strategic importance.Among the numerous remains of the Great Wall, Badaling in Beijing is the most popular destination that has won fame both at home and abroad.It can also be regarded as the most representative section of the Wall ever constructed during the Ming Dynasty.Every year it attracts many tourists from all over the world.3、論語 《論語》(The Analects of Confucius)是儒家的經典著作之一，它是對孔子及其弟子(disciple)的言行和對話的記錄。眾所周知，孔子是一位偉大的思想家和哲學家，他的思想被1 發展成了的儒家哲學體系。《論語》是儒家思想的代表作，數個世紀以來，《論語》一直極大地影響著中國人的哲學觀和道德觀，它也影響著其他亞洲國家人民的哲學觀和道德觀。

The Analects of Confucius The Analects of Confucius is one of the Confucius classics and is a record of the words and acts of Confucius and his disciples, as well as the conversations they held.It's well-known that Confucius is a great ideologist and philosopher, and his thoughts have been developed into a system of philosophy known as Confucianism.The Analects of Confucius is a representative work of Confucianism.For centuries, it has been heavily influencing the philosophy and moral outlook of Chinese people and that of the people of other Asian countries as well.4、中國制造 中國公司想創造世界品牌，外國公司想增加在中國的銷量，這些都正改變著中國的設計產業。中國制造商意識到，若他們想在本國市場脫穎而出，在外國市場嶄露頭角，就必須設計更好的產品。索尼這樣的外國公司也開始明白，從前海外公司常把隨便什么地方設計的產品拿到中國來賣，而現在，中國消費者變得更加挑剔，他們不再那樣容易滿足了。

Made in China Chinese companies want to create world brands and the foreign companies want to increase the selling in China which all change the Chinese design industry.The Chinese manufacturers realize that they have to design better products if they want to stand out in the domestic markets as well as distinguish themselves in the foreign markets.Previously, the overseas companies always took the products which were designed in somewhere to Chinese market, but now the foreign companies such as Sony begins to realize that the Chinese consumers become more and more fastidious and no longer easy to be satisfied.分析: 若他們想在本國市場脫穎而出，在外國市場嶄露頭角，就必須設計更好的產品。這里的“脫穎而出”和“嶄露頭角意思相近”，我們盡量選擇不同的譯法，兩個詞語可以分別譯為“stand out”和“distinguish themselves”。

5、傳統美 對于一名女子來說，傳統美是她的唯一標志。她的皮膚應該天生麗質，沒有皺紋，沒有疤痕，沒有瑕疵。她的身材應該消瘦苗條，通常高挑個，雙腿修長，其中青春年少則是首要條件。所有在電視廣告中出現的“花容月貌”的靚女都符合這個標準。這種形象是認為的，是可以人工塑造的。許多婦女盡其所能來擺布和修改自己的容貌體態。

To a woman, the traditional beauty is her only mark.Her skin should be born smooth without wrinkles, scars or flaws.Her body should be slim and thin, and usually she is tall, having long legs.The youth is the primary condition.All of the beauties who have showed up in the TV commercials are fit for that criterion.This image is artificial and can be made by people.Many women do their best to decorate and modify their looks and figures.分析: 她的皮膚應該天生麗質，沒有皺紋，沒有疤痕，沒有瑕疵。本句中的“皺紋”，“疤痕”，“瑕疵”應選意思最接近的英語詞匯，可譯為wrinkle,scar,flaw。

6、生活的藝術 在中國，人們對一切藝術的藝術，即生活的藝術，懂得很多。一個較為年輕的文明國家可能會致力于進步;然而一個古老的文明國度，自然在人生的歷程上見多識廣，她所感興趣的自然是如何過好生活。就中國而言，由于有了中國的人文主義精神，把人當作2 一切事物的中心，把人類幸福當做知識的終結，于是，強調生活的藝術就是更為自然的事情了。但即使沒有人文主義，一個古老的文明也一定會有一個不同的價值尺度，只有這樣，它才會知道什么是“持久的生活樂趣”。任何一個民族，如果它不知道如何享受生活，那么，在我們的眼里，這個民族一定是粗野的，不文明的。

In China, people know a lot about the art of all arts, namely, the art of life.A comparatively young country will dedicate to the progress;however, an ancient civilized country is experienced and knowledgeable in the life road, and naturally she is interested in how to lead a good life.As to China, it is much more natural to emphasize the art of life because of the humanism spirit of China, taking people as the center of everything and making human being's happiness as the end of knowledge.Even if there is no humanism, an ancient civilization would also have its own value standard, and only in this way would it know what the “lasting life pleasure ”is.Any nation, if it does not know how to enjoy life, must be barbaric and uncivilized in our eyes.分析:

1.人文主義精神

基本素質采分點。可譯為humanism spirit。

2.任何一個民族，如果它不知道如何享受生活，那么，在我們的眼里，這個民族一定是粗野的，不文明的。

中文句子結構比較松散，在翻譯成英文時我們要盡量使句子間有明顯的邏輯結構。這里“如果?”引導的分句可以作為條件從句前置或內嵌在主句中，“任何一個民族”就可以做主句的主語。

7、主動失業 截至2005年第三季度，全國勞動力市場供求狀況顯示，我國15歲至29歲的青年總體失業率達到了9%，遠遠高于4.5%的城鎮平均登記失業率。而在此之中，選擇主動失業的占到了一半以上。

“主動放棄就業機會的原因很多，但這些人都有一個共性，就是不會因為經濟原因餓死。至少在短時間內。”復旦大學教授葛劍雄認為，社會發展到現在，一些青年人的確具備了可以失業的條件。他們不用像上班族那樣刻板地工作，可是相比之下他們的生活卻格外“富足”。

Update to the third quarter of 2005,the supply and demand of the whole nation's labor force market indicated that the overall unemployment rate of our country's youth from the age of 15 to 29 was up to 9%,which was much higher than 4.5% of the average rural area register unemployment rate.Among this group,the number of people actively choosing to be unemployed was more than a half.“There are many reasons to give up the chance of employment,but those people have a common feature that they do not starve for economic reasons at least in a short period.”The professor Ge Jianxiong of Fudan University thought that some young people indeed had the conditions to be unemployed as the society develops to nowadays.They do not need to work routinely like the office workers,but comparatively their life was extremely “well-off”.分析: 選擇主動失業的占到了一半以上

“選擇主動失業”翻譯為:“choosing to be unemployed”。

8、湖泊 湖泊奇妙無比。蒼鷺(Heron)在岸邊緩緩地邁著步子，翠鳥(Kingfisher)和杜鵑換腳3 著從陽光里飛入樹蔭，火雞模樣的大鳥在枯枝間忙碌，鷹在頭上盤旋。我們毋庸為時間擔憂，可以從容地欣賞周圍的一切。我乘坐的獨木舟船頭坐著個男孩，他用簡陋的彈弓(sling)發射石彈擊打飛鳥。他擺出漂亮的架勢瞄準飛鳥，卻一次又一次地偏離目標：鳥總是飛出他的射程。他把彈弓塞回進襯衣內。我移開目光。

湖水與河水都如熱帶雨林中的樹葉那樣乳濁：那水是面紗，是窗簾，是畫屏。

This lake was amazing and wonderful.Herons plodded along the shores, Kingfishers and cuckoos clattered from sunlight to shade, great turkey like birds fussed in dead branches, and hawks hovered above us.There was all the time in the world.And we could appreciate everything surrounding by leisurely.The boy in the bow of my canoe slapped stones at birds with a simple sling, a rubber thong and leather pad.He aimed brilliantly at moving targets, missed again and again;the birds were out of his range.He stuffed his sling back in his shirt.Then I looked away.The lake and river waters were as opaque as rainforest leaves the water was veil, blind, painted screen.分析: 蒼鷺(Heron)在岸邊緩緩地邁著步子，翠鳥(Kingfisher)和杜鵑換腳著從陽光里飛入樹蔭，火雞模樣的大鳥在枯枝間忙碌，鷹在頭上盤旋。

這個句子中描繪的五種動物動作的動詞是翻譯重點，要選擇最恰當的詞匯。另外杜鵑，鷹為常用鳥的名字，譯為cuckoo,hawk。

9、地域菜系 中國一個幅員遼闊、資源豐富、歷史悠久的多民族國家，每個民族都有其獨特的豐富菜肴。地域菜系在地理環境、氣候、文化傳統、民族風俗和其他因素的影響下經過悠久歷史的發展已經成形。最有影響力、最具代表性的是魯、川、粵、閩、蘇、浙、湘、徽菜系，這八種被人們稱為“八大菜系”。中國的“八大菜系”是以多種多樣的烹飪方法區分的，各有其長處。

China is a time-honored multi-ethnics nation with a vast territory and abundant resources, and every ethnic group has its unique abundant dishes.Regional cuisines have taken shape after long-history evolution under the influence of geographical environment, climate, cultural tradition, folk customs and other factors.The most influential and representative ones are Lu, Chuan，Yue, Min, Su，Zhe, Xiang and Hui Cuisines, which are commonly known as “Eight Major Cuisines”.Dishes in the “Eight Major Cuisines” in China are characterized by diversified cooking skills, with each having its strong points。

10、出境旅游 聯合國下屬機構世界旅游組織(World Tourism Organization)公布的數據顯示，中國游客對全球旅游業的貢獻最大。中國人去年花在出境游上的支出膨脹至1020億美元，同2011年相比增長了40%。聯合國世界旅游組織在其網站上發布的一份聲明中說，這一增幅令中國迅速超越德國和美國。后兩者在之前是出境游支出最高的兩個國家。2012年德美兩國出境旅游支出均同比增長6%，約840億美元。

The figures from the United Nations World Tourism Organization show that Chinese travelers are making the most contributions to the global tourism industry.Chinese travelers spent a record $102 billion on outbound tourism last year, a 40% rise from 2011.That surge sent China screaming past Germany and the U.S.— the former No.1 and No.2 spenders, respectively 一 which both saw tourist outlays increase 6% year-on-year to around $84 billion in 2012, the UNWTO said in a 4 statement on its website。

11、竺可楨 1936年竺可楨授命出任浙江大學校長。在此之前，他已經是一位聲名卓著的自然科學家了。從1936年到1949年，竺可楨當了十三年大學校長。在連綿不斷的戰爭、學運的夾縫中，在極為惡劣的環境下，他跋涉五千里、五易校址、歷經五省、顛沛流離，居然將這所他接手時只有三個學院、十六個系的大學辦成了擁有七個學院、二十七個學系全國最完整的兩所大學之一。

In 1936,Zhu Kezhen was appointed as the principal of Zhejiang University.Even before then,he had been a famous natural scientist.From 1936 to 1949,Zhu Kezhen worked as the university principal for 13 years.In the extremely hostile environment filled with converging attacks by continuous wars and various university affairs,being homeless and miserable,he trudged 5,000 li and drifted from place to place through 5 provinces,with the university location being changed 5 times.He actually developed the university into one of the nation's two most integrated universities composed of 7 schools and 27 departments,compared with only 3 schools and 16 departments when he took it over.分析: 他跋涉五千里、五易校址、歷經五省、顛沛流離，顛沛流離:drifted from place to place,這個詞還有另外一層意思就是“無家可歸，生活痛苦”，為了意思表達的全面，將“homeless and miserable”以分詞形式作伴隨狀語譯出，可以表達這是一種持續的狀態。

12、乒乓球 乒乓球在中國是一項頗受歡迎和推崇的運動。長期以來，它的確是中國唯一的運動，似乎集足球、籃球和棒球于一身，但卻更受歡迎。任何人都可以打乒乓球，所需的只是一副拍子(paddle)、一個球、一張桌子和一張網而已，這些都易于臨時拼湊(improvise)。人們可以在休息間隙或消磨時間時打兵兵球。在中國的學校、工廠甚至某些公司里，都能找到乒兵球桌。

Table tennis is a sport which gains much popularity and praise in China.For a long time, it has really been the only sport in China and seemed to set football, basketball and baseball all rolled into one, but it was more popular.Anyone can play table tennis, for all required are a pair of paddles and ball and a table and net, which are easy to be improvised.People can play it when taking a break or killing time.You can find table-tennis tables in schools, factories or even some companies all over China.13、找工作 如今，越來越多的大學生抱怨很難找到好工作。造成這一現象的原因如下：首先，大學生把在校的大多數 時間都用在了專業學科學習上，只有當他們開始找工作的時候，才意識到自己缺乏必要的職業培訓。其次，大學生之間的競爭也越來越激烈，這導致任何一名大學生找到工作的機會都變小了。因此，強烈建議大學生在課余時間做一些兼職工作，以積累相關的工作經驗。

Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job.The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training.Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce.And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job.5 Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.難點精析

1.抱怨很難找到好工作：翻譯為complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job。其中“抱怨做某事”用句型complain about doing sth.表示，having great difficulties in finding a good job表示“找工作有困難”，用到了句型have difficulties in doing sth.。

2.只有當他們開始找工作的時候，才意識到自己缺乏必要的職業培訓：翻譯為it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training。‘‘只有當 才 ’’用強調句型it is only when?that?表示。，3.導致：翻譯為results in,同義短語有lead to和bring about，但是表示不好的結果時一般用短語result in。

4.強烈建議：翻譯為it is highly suggested that...，其中highly suggested也可以用 strongly recommended 替換，都表示“強烈建議做某事”。

5.積累相關的工作經驗：翻譯為accumulate relevant working experience.14、八大菜系 中國一個幅員遼闊、資源豐富、歷史悠久的多民族國家，每個民族都有其獨特的豐富菜肴。地域菜系在地理環境、氣候、文化傳統、民族風俗和其他因素的影響下經過悠久歷史的發展已經成形。最有影響力、最具代表性的是魯、川、粵、閩、蘇、浙、湘、徽菜系，這八種被人們稱為“八大菜系”。中國的“八大菜系”是以多種多樣的烹飪方法區分的，各有其長處。

China is a time-honored multi-ethnics nation with a vast territory and abundant resources, and every ethnic group has its unique abundant dishes.Regional cuisines have taken shape after long-history evolution under the influence of geographical environment, climate, cultural tradition, folk customs and other factors.The most influential and representative ones are Lu, Chuan，Yue, Min, Su，Zhe, Xiang and Hui Cuisines, which are commonly known as “Eight Major Cuisines”.Dishes in the “Eight Major Cuisines” in China are characterized by diversified cooking skills, with each having its strong points.15、中國城市化 中國城市化(urbanization)將會充分釋放潛在內需(domestic demand)。一些經濟學家指出，在中國幾乎所有的發展中城市都面臨著城市化的進程。這使得許多人的生活水平有所提高，也為人們提供更多的就業機會。隨著越來越多的人向城市遷徙，住房及城市基礎設施建設(infrastructure construction),包括水源等能源的供應將會成為城市發展的焦點問題。商品與服務的自由、快速流通是城市化社會的一項基本特征。逐漸擴張的城市需要更多的零售店來滿足消費者的需求。

China’s urbanization will release the full potential of domestic demand.Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country.It will lead to a better quality of life for many people，and provide individuals with more job opportunities.The construction of housing and city infrastructure, in?cluding water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban develop?ment as more people migrate to cities.Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city.But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation.The fast, free flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society.Ex-panding cities require more 6 retail outlets to serve customers.16、人類文明演變 現代人類約公元前50000年第一次從中亞或印度來到中國。這些石器時代(Stone Age)的人，居住在洞穴中，穿著毛皮。公元前4000年左右，這些人開始種植水稻，并飼養羊和雞。約公元前3000年，他們開始使用陶器(pottery)并住在房子里。到公元前2000年，中國人已進入青銅時代(Bronze Age)，并開始用于寫字。約公元前700年，中國的金屬工人學會制作鐵器工具和武器。

Modem humans first came to China from Central Asia or India about 50,000 BC.These were Stone Age people, who lived in caves and wore fur and leather.By around 4,000 BC, these people were starting to farm rice and keep sheep and chickens.By about 3,000 BC, they were using pottery and living in houses.By 2,000 BC，Chinese people had entered the Bronze Age and had begun to use writing.By about 700 BC，Chinese metal-workers learned to make iron tools and weapons.17、大學生就業選擇 許多剛畢業的大學生找不到工作，在校學生則擔心他們的未來。多個調查顯示，三分之二的中國畢業生想在政府或者國有企業工作，而不是為中國令人矚目的經濟增長提供動力的民營企業。政府和國有企業被認為能免受經濟蕭條的影響。如今幾乎沒有大學生愿意放棄政府的鐵飯碗而下海、加入初創企業或自己創業。

Many recent college graduates can’t find a job and students are fearful about their future.Two-thirds of Chinese graduates say they want to work either in the government or state-owned firms，which are seen as recession-proof, rather than at the private companies that have powered China’s remarkable economic climb, surveys indicate.Few college students today, according to the surveys, are ready to leave the safe shores of government work and jump into the sea to join startups or go into business.18、全球變暖

目前，全球變暖是一個熱門話題，但是有關全球變暖的各項證據似乎還有些不同的聲音。人們現在已經知道，地球的發展經歷了很多周期(cycle),盡管在歷史上還未出現過像今天這樣的時代，即高度工業化(industrialization)產生如此多的污染。全球變暖主要是由于二氧化碳氣體(carbon dioxide)的增多。

Global warming is the hot topic around the world at this time but, there is also dissention about the evidence being presented to support the argument.The earth is known to go through cycles;although the past has never produced an age of so much industrialization causing the pollution currently being experienced.A major source of the problem is the increase in carbon dioxide levels.19茶馬古道 茶馬古道(Tea-horse Ancient Road)兩邊，生活著20多個少數民族。不同的地方有著各自美麗而神奇的自然風景和傳統文化，比如:大理，麗江古城，香格里拉(Shangrila),雅魯藏布江大峽谷和布達拉宮(Potala Palace)。古道的兩旁有廟宇、巖石壁畫、騷站(post house),古橋和木板路，還有少數民族舞蹈和民族服裝。時至今天，雖然這條古道的蹤跡都消失了，但它的文化和歷史價值仍然存在。

Along the Tea-horse Ancient Road lived more than 20 minori?ties.Concentrations of beautiful and mysterious natural landscapes and traditional cultures developed in various sites，including Dali old city, Lijiang old city, Shangrila, Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, Potala Palace.The road features temples, rock paintings, 7 post houses, ancient bridges and plank roads.It is also home to many national minorities and their dances and folk customs.Today, although the traces of the ancient road are fading away, its cultural and historic values remain.20、月光族 中國經濟的高速發展，帶來了消費文化的日益流行，同時也催生了一批具有高學歷，充分享受資本主義消費模式的年輕人，他們習慣于當月工資當月花。因而被稱為“月光族”(the moonlight group)。“月光族”一詞出現于20世紀90年代后期，是用來諷刺那些出身富裕、接受高等教育、充分享受快餐文化(fast food culture)的年輕人。

China’s economy is developing very quickly, and has brought with it a culture of consumption more prevalent with each passing day.At the same time, it has brought into being an educated group of young people who enjoy capitalist consumption way.They’re used to spending money as soon as they get it every month, and so are called the moon light group”.This word came into being during the 1990s, to make fun of those born into wealth，who have received a high education, and who ap?preciate fast food culture.21、出境游 聯合國下屬機構世界旅游組織(World Tourism Organization)公布的數據顯示，中國游客對全球旅游業的貢獻最大。中國人去年花在出境游上的支出膨脹至1020億美元，同2011年相比增長了40%。聯合國世界旅游組織在其網站上發布的一份聲明中說，這一增幅令中國迅速超越德國和美國。后兩者在之前是出境游支出最高的兩個國家。2012年德美兩國出境旅游支出均同比增長6%,約840億美元。

The figures from the United Nations World Tourism Organization show that Chinese travelers are making the most contributions to the global tourism industry.Chinese travelers spent a record $102 billion on outbound tourism last year, a 40% rise from 2011.That surge sent China screaming past Germany and the U.S.— the former No.1 and No.2 spenders, respectively 一 which both saw tourist outlays increase 6% year-on-year to around $84 billion in 2012, the UNWTO said in a statement on its website.22、全球變暖 目前，全球變暖是一個熱門話題，但是有關全球變暖的各項證據似乎還有些不同的聲音。人們現在已經知道，地球的發展經歷了很多周期(cycle),盡管在歷史上還未出現過像今天這樣的時代，即高度工業化(industrialization)產生如此多的污染。全球變暖主要是由于二氧化碳氣體(carbon dioxide)的增多。

Global warming is the hot topic around the world at this time but, there is also dissention about the evidence being presented to support the argument.The earth is known to go through cycles;although the past has never produced an age of so much industrialization causing the pollution currently being experienced.A major source of the problem is the increase in carbon dioxide levels.23、中國經濟活動放緩 就像向中國出售商品的公司會看到收益有損失一樣，中國經濟活動放緩有著世界性的影響。包括澳大利亞、巴西和東南亞在內的其他國家近年來都看到了巨大的利潤，因為中國對自然資源有需求。中國的需求下降巳經對很多商品的價格有了影響。上周，中國財政部長樓繼偉表示,今年的經濟增長可能為7%,而這不一定是“底線”。

A slowdown in economic activity in China has a global impact as companies that 8 sell to China may see revenues suffer.Countries includ?ing Australia, Brazil and others in South East Asia have seen huge profits in recent years because of Chinese demand for natural resources.The fall in demand from China has already had an impact on the prices of many commodities.Last week，China’s Finance Minister Lou Jiwei indicated that economic growth could be 7% for the year, and that this may not be the “bottom line”.24、探望父母 這周頒布的一項新法律要求子女必須經常探望年齡超過60歲的父母，并確保他們經濟和精神上的需求得到滿足。星期二，新華社報導了_條新聞，來自江蘇市無錫市的一位77歲的老太太起訴她的女兒忽略她。這是新法律生效后的第一起案件，當地法院規定她的女兒至少每月探望母親兩次，并提供財力支持。但是這項法律引發了爭議。有人說這給了那些因為工作、學習或者其他原因搬離家鄉的人更多壓力。

A new national law introduced this week requires the offspring of parents older than 60 to visit their parents “frequently” and make sure their financial and spiritual needs are met.On Tuesday, Xinhua reported a news that a 77-year-old woman from Jiangsu city of Wuxi sued her daughter for neglecting her.In the first case after the new law came into effect, the local court ruled that her daughter must visit her at least twice a month and provide financial support.But the law’s introduction has proved controversial.Some say it puts too much pressure on those who move away from home for work, study or other opportunities.25、端午節 農歷五月初五的端午節(the Dragon Boat Festival)是個盛大的節日。它的另一名稱——“重五節”就來源于這個日期。這個節日根據一個廣為流傳的故事，演變為紀念戰國時期(the Warring States Period)楚國偉大愛國詩人屈原的日子。如果事實果真如此，那么端午節已經有大約2500年的存史了。端午節最盛行的活動是賽龍舟和吃粽子(rice dumpling)。自2008年以來，端午節在中國巳不僅僅是一個傳統節日,還是公共假期。

The Dragon Boat Festival is a grand festival celebrated on the 5th day of 5th month of the Chinese lunar calendar.This is the source of the alternative name of Double Fifth Festival.According to a widely stated story, the festival developed to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan of Chu State in Warring States Period.If that is true, Dragon Boat Festival has a history of about 2,500 years.The most popular activities of Dragon Boat festival are racing dragon boats and eating rice dumplings.Since 2008，Dragon Boat Festival has been celebrated not only as a festival but also a public holiday in China.26、教育公平為了促進教育公平，中國已經投入360億元，用于改善農村地區教育設施和加強中西部地區農村義務教育。這些資金用于改善教學設施、購買書籍，使16萬多所中小學收益。資金還用于購置音樂和繪畫器材。現在農村和山區的兒童可以與沿海城市的兒童一樣上音樂和繪畫課。一些為接受更好教育而轉往城市上學的學生如今又回到了本地農村學校就讀。(2014年6月真題)In order to promote equity in education, China has invested 36 billion yuan for the improvement of educational facilities in rural areas and strengthening of rural compulsory education Midwest.These funds were used to improve the teaching facilities, purchase of books, so that more than 160,000 primary and secondary 9 income.Funds are also used to purchase music and painting equipment.Now children in rural and mountainous areas with children's coastal cities like music and painting lessons.Some receive a better education for the city school students now transferred back to the local rural schools now.27、飲酒 長期以來，飲酒(white spirit)在中國人的生活中一直扮演著重要的角色，無論是帝王還是百姓。飲酒是中國文化的一部分。中國人的祖先在作詩、寫散文時喜歡飲酒，在宴會上還會向親戚朋友敬酒。但飲酒不僅屬于文化人，也是普通人生活中不可缺少的一部分。人們在各種場合飲酒，如生日宴會、餞行宴會、婚禮宴會(wedding banquet)等。搬進新房或生意開業時，也會邀請人們來吃飯、飲酒。

Drinking white spirit has been taking an important role in Chinese people's life from emperors to ordinary people for a long time.Drinking white spirit is a part of Chinese culture.Chinese ancestors enjoyed drinking white spirit while writing poems or proses and they also toasted their relatives and friends at the feast.But drinking white spirit is not only for scholars，it is also an indispensable part of Chinese ordinary people's life.People drink white spirit on various occasions, such as the birthday party，farewell dinner，wedding banquet, etc.When someone moves into a new house or starts doing business，he/she will invite people for dinner and drinking white spirit.28、筷子 筷子(chopstick)起源于中國古代，一直是中國飲食文化重要的一部分。我們的祖先喜歡吃蒸煮食物，但用勺子很難舀(spoon out)到湯里的蔬菜，所以發明了筷子。從此，筷子成為他們生活中最為方便的餐具(tableware),標志著飲食文明的到來。如今，筷子除了具有餐具功能外，增添了很多新功能。熟練手藝人在筷子 上描繪美麗的風景，使之變成精美的藝術品。許多人熱衷于收集筷子作為藏品。

Chopsticks originated in ancient China and have been an important part of Chinese food culture.Our ancestors liked to have steamed or boiled food，but it was difficult for them to spoon out vegetables from the soup, so they invented chopsticks.Thus chopsticks have become the most convenient tableware in their life and marked the coming of food civilization.Nowadays，chopsticks are added many new functions besides being used as one kind of tableware.Skillful craftsmen paint beautiful sceneries on them to make them look like fine artworks.Many people are keen to gather them as their collections.29、臘八節 臘八節(the Laba Festival)在農歷最后一個月的第八天慶祝，標志著春節慶祝 活動的開始。“臘”指“臘月(the 12th lunar month)”，是農歷第十二個月，“八”指的 是數字8。臘八節通常在1月中旬。大多數漢族人遵循臘八節喝臘八粥(Laba rice porridge)的習俗。臘八粥最早在宋朝傳入中國。據史料記載，一些大型寺廟會為窮人提供臘八粥來表達對佛祖(Buddha)的虔誠。明朝時，臘八粥成為皇帝在此節日賞賜群臣的神圣食物。

Laba Festival is celebrated on the eighth day of the last lunar month, marking the beginning of celebrating the Chinese Spring Festival.La means the 12th lunar month and ba means the number eight.The date usually falls in mid-January.The majority of people from Han nationality has followed the tradition of eating Laba rice porridge on the Laba Festival.Laba rice porridge was first introduced to China in the Song 10 Dynasty.According to historical records, some large temples would offer the poor Laba rice porridge to show their faith to Buddha.In the Ming Dynasty, it became a holy food that emperors would use to award their officials on the festival.30、京劇 京劇(Beijing Opera)是中國的國粹。作為一門古老的藝術，京劇的服裝(costume)、臉譜(facial mask)更易被人喜愛。不同的服裝 類型反映不同的人物身份特征。富貴者的服裝綴滿精美的刺繡;窮困 者的服裝則簡單樸素，少有裝飾(elemental)。臉譜是京劇中塑造人物 形象的重要手段，它是用不同的顏色在臉上勾畫出來的。臉譜的顏 色讓人一看便知角色(portray)的善惡。比如白色代表奸詐(treachery)，黑色代表正直不阿，黃色是驍勇，藍、綠色多用于綠林好漢(rebellious fighters)，金、銀色多用于神佛(divinity and Buddhism)等。

Beijing Opera is the cream of the Chinese culture.As a tradi?tional art form, its costumes and facial mask are more popular with people.Different styles of costumes are used to reflect the status of different characters.There are more decorations in the costumes of nobles，while those of the poor tend to be simple and less elemental.Facial masks can reflect qualities of different characters.Facial masks using different colors are important ways to portray a character.People can tell a hero from a villain by the colors of the masks.In general，white usually represents treachery, black represents righteousness, yellow represents bravery, blue and green represent rebellious fighters，while gold and silver represent divinity and Buddhism.11

第四篇：四級翻譯

Confucius）是春秋時期（the Spring and Autumn Period）的大思想家、大教育家和儒家學派（Confucianism）的創始人，是古代中國人心目中的圣人。孔子的言論和生平活動記錄在由他的弟子或再傳弟子編成的《論語》（The Analects）一書中。《論語》是中國古代文化的經典著作。在孔子之后幾千年的中國歷史上，沒有哪一位思想家、文學家和政治家不受《論語》的影響。不研究《論語》，就不能真正把握中國幾千年的傳統文化。

As a great thinker,educator and founder of Confucianism during the Spring and Autumn Period,Confucius is a sage to the ancient Chinese people.His words and life storywere recorded by his disciples and their students in The Analects.As an enduring classic of Chinese culture, The Analects has influenced allthinkers, writers and politicians in the thousand years’ Chinese history after Confucius.No scholar could trulyunderstand this long-standing culture or the inner world of the ancient Chinesewithout this book.NO.2 大約在兩千多年前，中國就出現了蠟染（wax printing）。在中國服飾中，蠟染是一種流傳時間長、流行范圍大、使用領域廣的服裝工藝。蠟染是在布匹著色的過程中，以蜂蠟（beeswax）作為防止染色的材料。蜂蠟干了之后，會產生一些裂紋，這些裂紋在染色過程中滲透進靛藍色，于是形成了如冰花式樣的美妙紋理。這樣自然天成的紋理可以說是蠟染的靈魂所在。

Wax printingappeared in China about 2,000 years ago.Wax printing has long been awidespread technique used in the history of Chinese fashion.During the dyeingprocess, beeswax is applied to prevent some parts of the cloth form being dyed.When the beeswax dries, it develops cracks, which absorb indigo in the processof dyeing, thus forming the beautiful natural lines resembling breaking ice.These naturally formed lines represent the beauty and soul of wax printing.NO.3 景泰藍（cloisonné）是馳名中外的傳統工藝，它集青銅藝術、瓷器和雕刻諸種工藝制作技巧于一身，是一門地道的北京絕活。它是收藏家收藏的佳品，也是人們居家使用的精美物品。這項工藝始創于明代景泰年間，初創時的顏色主要是藍色，故得名“景泰藍”。到了成化年間，景泰藍技術進一步成熟，這個時期的作品沉穩凝重又透明靈動，而且銅胎也極為講究。

Cloisonné is a traditional art widely known in and outsideChina.It is a kind of superb local expertise form of Beijing, which combinesthe skills of bronze art, porcelain, carving and other types of folk arts.Itis deemed valuable in the eyes of collectors, as well as refined ornaments fordaily use.The making of cloisonné first appearedduring the Jingtai reign of the Ming Dynasty, with the main colour used beingblue, hence the name “Jingtai Blue” as it became known later on.By the time of the Chenghua reign, thetechniques for making cloisonné were further

lacking ineloquence or vividness.Moreover, its cast was always made of choice copper.NO.4 西塘在浙江嘉興，位于上海和杭州之間。這個占地規模并不大的古鎮有著悠久的歷史，它初建于春秋時期（the Spring and Autumn Period），位于吳國和越國的交界處。西塘的大致規模在宋代之前就已經形成，今所見西塘著名的橋梁望仙橋（Wangxian Bridge）就是宋代的遺跡。在明清時期，西塘既是遠近聞名的魚米之鄉，又是著名的絲綢制造之地，還以制陶業（ceramics）而享譽全國。

Xitang is located inJiaxing, Zhejiang Province, between Shanghai and Hangzhou.Though small insize, this ancient town boasts a long history.It was first built during theSpring and Autumn Period, at the border between the states of Wu and Yue.Thepresent layout had already taken shape before the Song Dynasty, and the famousWangxian Bridge in Xitang is a legacy of the Song Dynasty.By the Ming and QingDynasties, Xitang had become a well-known trade center for farm products, silksand ceramics, all produced in the surrounding areas and famous throughout thecountry.NO.5 秧歌舞（Yangko dance）是中國漢族的一種傳統民間舞蹈，通常在北方省份表演。秧歌舞者通常穿上明亮多彩的表演服裝，他們的表演動作迅速有力。在農歷春節、元宵節等節日期間，人們一旦聽到鑼鼓聲，不管外面天氣有多冷，他們都會蜂擁到街上觀看秧歌舞表演。近年來，中國東北某些城市的老年人自發組織了秧歌隊，隊員常年通過跳舞來保持健康，同時他們也樂在其中。

The Yangko dance isa traditional folk dance of the Han Chinese, commonly performed in the northernprovinces.Yangko dancers usually wear bright and colorful costumes, and theirmovements are vigorous and quick.During holidays, such as the lunar New Yearand the Lantern Festival, as soon as people hear the sound of drums and gongsthey swarm into the streets to watch Yangko dance performances, no matter howcold it is outside.In recent years, elderly people in some cities in NortheastChina have been organizing themselves into Yangko teams, with the dancersenjoying themselves while keeping fit all year round.NO.6 中國的青銅器時代（Bronze Age）從夏開始，經歷商、西周到春秋時期（the Spring and Autumn Period），前后持續了一千五百多年的時間。大量出土的青銅器物表明，中國創造了燦爛的青銅文明。這些青銅器物不僅有豐富的政治和宗教內涵，而且還具有很高的藝術價值。今藏于中國歷史博物館的大盂鼎（the Great Ding for Yu）是中國青銅器時代的代表性作品之一。它是西周康王（King Kang）時期的作品，距今大約有三千多年。The Bronze Age inChina lasted more than 1,500 years, from the Xia through the

numbers of unearthedartifacts indicate a high level of ancient bronze civilization in the country.They feature rich political and religious themes, and are of high artisticvalue.A representative example is the Great Ding for Yu, which is nowpreserved in the Museum of Chinese History.It was cast about 3,000 years agoduring the reign of King Kang of Western Zhou Dynasty.NO.7 1911 年，中國爆發了歷史上的第一次資產階級革命——辛亥革命（the Revolution of 1911），它推翻了中國封建社會的最后一個朝代——清朝，廢除了中國延續了2000 多年的封建帝制，建立了中國的第一個民主共和國——中華民國。民國政府成立以后，要求全國人民都剪掉頭上的辮子（queues），選擇自己喜歡的發型。至此，在中國延續了280 多年的辮子法令終于被解除。

In 1911, the firstbourgeois revolution in Chinese history — the Revolution of 1911 broke out.The last dynasty of the Chinesefeudal society, Qing Dynasty, was over-thrown and the monarch system that had ahistory of more than 2,000 years was abolished.The Republic of China, thefirst democratic republic in China, was founded in 1912.After its foundation,the government of Republic of China had required the citizens to cut off theirqueues and make the haircut they liked.Since then, the wearing-queue orderthat had lasted for more than 280 years in China has been abolished.NO.8 出現在中國五代時期的婦女纏足（foot-binding），雖然最初是宮廷舞女為了方便跳舞而采用的一種行為，但由于有人認為腳裹起來更好看，所有很多人就開始效仿起來。到了宋代，封建社會的綱常思想非常嚴重，受到男尊女卑的封建禮教的影響，女子裹腳的風氣被傳承下來，并逐漸成為一種習俗。為了與婦女的小腳相適應，宋代還出現了專門為裹足婦女制作的弓鞋（gongxie）。

The practice offoot-binding for women appeared in the Five Dynasties, but in the beginning, itwas only adopted by the court dancers for convenience while dancing.Sincepeople thought the foot-binding made women’s feet look more beautiful, many females rushed to follow suit.Bythe Song Dynasty, due to the importance of feudal ethical thoughts andinfluence of the feudal male superiority conception, the practice offoot-binding was inherited and became a custom.In the Song Dynasty, to meetthe needs of women’s small feet, a kind of speciallydesigned shoes gongxie was made.NO.9 據中國古代史書記載，治水有功的大禹通過禪讓制接替舜成為部落聯盟首領。但大禹死后，他的兒子夏啟卻破壞禪讓的傳統，自立為國王，建立了中國歷史上第一個奴隸制國家——夏。從此，王位實行世襲制度，中國社會從此步入階級社會。夏代處在中國社會從原始社

會向奴隸社會過渡的時期，社會生活的各個方面依然保存著原始社會的種種痕跡。According to theChinese ancient documents, the legendary leader Shun abdicated and handed overhis leadership to Da Yu who had made great contribution to controlling theflood of the Yellow River of China.When Da Yu died, his son Xia Qi breachedthe tradition of demise system and set himself as the king.Xia, the firstslavery nation in Chinese history, was founded.Since then, the hereditarysystem had been practiced.Thus, China stepped into a class society.The XiaDynasty was a transition from primitive society to slave society.At that time,all aspects of social life still reserved traces of primitive society.NO.10 北京烤鴨是自封建帝王時代就在北京城流行的著名菜肴，如今它被認為是中國的一道國菜。這道菜以它薄而脆的酥皮，以及廚師們在客人面前片鴨子的真實情形而著稱。專門用于制作烤鴨的鴨子在養殖65 天后就被屠宰了，鴨子在烤制前要先用調料腌制（season），然后才送進燜爐或者掛爐.鴨肉通常配上蔥（scallion）、黃瓜和甜面醬，用薄餅卷著食用。Peking duck is afamous dish that has been popular since the imperial erain Beijing, and is now considered a national dish of China.The dish is prizedfor the thin, crisp skin with authentic vision of the dish serving sliced infront of the diners by the cook.Ducks bred specially for the dish areslaughtered after 65 days and seasoned before being roasted in a closed or hungoven.The meat is usually eaten with pancakes, scallion, cucumbers and sweetbean sauce.收起

紅色

在中國文化中，紅色通常象征著好運、長壽和幸福，在春節和其他喜慶場合，紅色到處可見。人們把現金作為禮物送給家人或親密朋友時，通常放在紅信封里。紅色在中國流行的另一個原因是人們把它與中國革命和共產黨相聯系。然而，紅色并不總是代表好運與快樂。因為從前死者的名字常用紅色書寫，用紅墨水寫中國人名被看成是一種冒犯行為。

在中國文化中，黃顏色是一種很重要的顏色，因為它具有獨特的象征意義。在封建(feudal)社會中，它象征統治者的權力和權威。那時，黃色是專為皇帝使用的顏色，皇家宮殿全都漆成黃色，皇袍總是黃色的，而普通老百姓是禁止穿黃色衣服的。在中國，黃色也是收獲的象征。秋天莊稼成熟時，田野變得一片金黃。人們興高采烈，慶祝豐收。

白色

隨著中國的改革開放，如今很多年輕人都喜歡舉行西式婚禮。新娘在婚禮上穿著白色婚紗，因為白色被認為是純潔的象征。然而，在中國傳統文化中，白色經常是葬禮上使用的顏色。因此務必記住，白花一定不要用作祝人康復的禮物，尤其不要送給老年人或危重病人。同樣，禮金也不能裝在白色信封里，而要裝在紅色信封里。

1、模擬題

上個世紀90年代以來，氣候問題日漸被世人關注并演化成為一個全球政治議題。20年的氣候談判展現出氣候政治博弈的復雜局面，利益主體的分化和博弈主題的擴展造成了氣候政治合作這一全球性難題。在這樣的背景下，我國應當做出如下戰略選擇加以應對：一是掌握主動，堅持低碳發展；二是積極應對，爭取話語優勢；三是廣泛參與，改造游戲規則。

參考譯文

Since the 1990's, climate problems have become a global concern as a topic on the world political agenda.Climate negotiations in the past 20 years have ended in a complicated situation of political game on climate, and the differentiation of the interest subjects and the extension of the theme of the game have become a global dilemma in the political cooperation on climate.Under such circumstances, China should respond with the following strategic choices: 1.taking the initiative in our own hands and sticking to low-carbon emission development;2.making active responses and striving for a bigger say;and 3.taking an extensive participation, and trying to reform the game rule

2、徐霞客一生周游考察了十六個省，足跡幾乎遍及全國。他在考察的過程中，從不盲目迷信書本上的結論。他發現前人研究地理的記載有許多很不可靠的地方。為了進行真實細致的考察，他很少乘車坐船，幾乎全靠雙腳翻山越嶺，長途跋涉；為了弄清大自然的真相，他總是挑選道路艱險的山區，人跡稀少的森林進行考察，發現了許多奇山秀景。

Xu Xiake toured and investigated 16 provinces in his lifetime, covering almost the whole country.When he was carrying out his investigations, he never took blind belief in the conclusions in the books.Instead he found a lot of unreliable points in the geographic records taken by his predecessors.In order to make his investigations reliable and thorough, he seldom traveled by carriage or boat.Instead, he took long, arduous trips on foot almost all the time, climbing mountains and hills.In order to learn the truth of nature, he always chose to conduct investigations in mountainous roads and lonely woods, where he discovered a lot of magnificent peaks and beautiful sights.3、一檔在國內異常火爆的電視比賽節目，引發了不少人的焦慮——大家書寫漢字的能力正在不斷衰退。

電腦和智能手機的迅速發展和普及，致使很多年輕人都拿起了筆卻寫不來字。若不借助電子產品的提醒，不少人連常用的那一萬多個漢字都會想不起該怎么寫。

復雜的漢字書寫體系是中國古代文化遺留下來的瑰寶，而這一體系正不可避免地面臨著退化的命運。參考譯文：

A televised contest that has become hugely popular in China has led to nationwide hand-wringing over the population’s increasing inability to write Chinese characters.The rapid rise of computers and smartphones has left most young people barely able to write by hand, with many unable to recall the estimated 10,000 characters used in daily life without an electronic prompt.The country’s complex writing system, a highly prized treasure of its ancient culture, is entering an inexorable decline.4、從10月1日起，中國“草根英雄”（也稱“感動2013人物”）第三季度網絡人物評選正式啟動。

評選活動由新華社發起并主辦。網友可以通過網站、微博和手機應用三種方式為心中最愛的“草根英雄”投票。

評選將從20位候選人中選出10位主要事跡在道德和社會領域引起過廣泛關注的網絡人物。

陜西省28年治沙73000公頃“逐夢大漠”的牛玉琴，即是候選人之一。參考譯文：

Online voting kicked off on October 1st to select China’s grassroots heroes or “Good Samaritans” for the third quarter of 2013.Initiated and sponsored by Xinhua News Agency, netizens can vote for their favorites online or via microblogs and mobile applications.A total of 10 individuals will be selected from 20 candidates known for actions that have drawn attention to moral and societal issues.Shaanxi Province’s Niu Yuqin, who over the last 28 years has planted over 73,000 hectares of trees to control desertification, is among the candidates.5、在中國，喝茶是一種儀式（ritual），一種精致的品味（refined taste）的展示。人們在飲茶的同時，也領略品茶的情趣之意。喝茶聊天是中國人最流行的打發時間的方式。過去，他們是以進有名的茶館而開始一天的生活。中國的茶館相當于法國的咖啡館和英國的酒館。人們到這里不僅是為了喝茶，也是為了議論當地的新聞貨就政治話題進行激烈的辯論。

參考譯文：

Tea drinking in China is a ritual and a demonstration of the refined taste.While drinking tea, people also take delight in the essence of tea itself.Chatting over a pot of tea is a very popular way of pastime among Chinese.In the past, they would start the day with a visit to a well-known teahouse.Chinese teahouses would be the equivalent of French cafes and English pubs.People come here not just for tea, but also to discuss local news or to have intensive debates on political matters.6、旅游業是近二十年來在世界各地迅速發展的一個行業，現在正引起中國公眾越來越多的注意。許多人給報紙寫信，就促進中國旅游業的發展提出了種種建議。人們的看法是，發展旅游業將有助于促進中國人民和其他國家人民之間的相互了解和友誼，并將有利于文化、科學、技術方面的交流。還會有助于為中國的偉大事業積累資金。

參考譯文：

Tourism, a fast developing business over the last two decades in all parts of the world, is now receiving increasing attention among the Chinese public.Many people have written to the press making suggestions for the promotion of tourism in China.It is believed that the development of tourism will help promote mutual understanding and friendship between the people of China and other countries, and facilitate exchanges in the field of culture, science and technology.Moreover, it will help accumulate funds for China’s great cause.7、意大利著名旅行家馬可。波羅(Marco Pole)曾這樣敘述他印象中的杭州：“這是世界上最美妙迷人的城市，它使人覺得自己社在天堂。”在中國，也流傳著這樣的話：“上有天堂，下有蘇杭。”杭州的名氣主要在于風景如畫的西湖。西湖一年四季都美不勝收，宋代著名詩人蘇東坡用“淡妝濃抹總相宜”的詩句來贊譽西湖。在杭州，您可以飽覽西湖的秀色，也不妨漫步(stroll)街頭鬧市，品嘗一下杭州的名菜名點，還可購上幾樣名特土產。

參考譯文：

The famous Italian traveler Marco Pole was so impressed by the beauty of Hangzhou that he described it as “the most fascinating city in the world where one feels that one is in paradise.” In China, there has been a century-old popular saying praising the city: In Heaven there is Paradise;OnEarth there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.” Hangzhou’s fame lies mainly in its picturesque West Lake.As it is beautiful all the year round, the West Lake was compared by Su Dongpo, a celebrated poet of the Song Dynasty, to a beauty “who is always charming in either light or heavy makeup.” In Hangzhou, you will not only find the lake a perfect delight to the eye but also find it a joy to stroll along the busy streets, taste famous Hangzhou dishes and buy some special local products.8、目前，人類的生存環境正在遭到破壞，美麗的大自然已經不那么美麗了。保護野生動物，也就是保護人婁自己。我強烈呼吁：不要再捕殺黑猩猩，不要再捕殺野生動物了，讓我們人類多一些地球上的朋友，多給我們下一代保留一些野生動物吧!否則，地球將毀滅在人類手 中，人類將毀滅在自己手中。

參考譯文：

At present, man’s living environment is being ruined, and beautiful nature is no longer so beautiful.Protection of wild life is protection of man himself.So I appeal strongly to all to stop killing the chimpanzee or any other wild animal.Let us human beings have more friends on the earth, and

leave more wild life for future generations.Or the earth would be destroyed by man, and man by man himself.9、農歷八月十五日是中國的傳統節日——中秋節。在這天，每個家庭都團聚在一起，一家人共同觀賞象征豐裕、和諧和幸運的圓月。此時，大人們吃著美味的月餅，品著熱騰騰的香茗，而孩子們則在一旁拉著燈籠盡情玩耍。中秋節最早可能是一個慶祝豐收的節日。后來，月宮里美麗的仙女嫦娥的神話故事賦予了它神話色彩。此后，每年中秋月圓之時，人們向月宮仙女嫦娥祈福的傳說便流傳開來。

參考譯文：

“Zhong Qiu Jie”, which is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar.It is a time for family members and loved ones to get together and enjoy the full moon-a symbol of abundance, harmony and luck.Adults will usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of piping hot Chinese tea, while the little ones run around with their lanterns.“Zhong Qiu Jie” probably began as a harvest festival.The festival was later given a mythological flavour with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful lady in the moon.Thus started the legend of the lady in the moon to whom people would pray at the Mid-Autumn Festival.10、端午節，又稱為五五節，因為端午節是在農歷的五月五日，它是中國重要的節慶之一。這個節日是為了紀念楚國(the Chu Emperor)的大夫屈原，他因為對朝廷(court)的貪污腐敗感到絕望而投河自盡。鎮上的人紛紛沖上船去救他，卻沒有成功。后來大家把米撒到水里，希望把饑餓的魚群從他的軀體邊引開。多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐漸演變成賽龍舟和吃粽子(一種包在竹葉中的米食)的傳統。

參考譯文：

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double Fifth Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar.It is one of the most important Chinese festivals.The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor.Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river.Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him.Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.Over the years, the story of Qu’s demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves.11、春節是中國最重要的節日，也是大家所熟悉的中國新年。對于中國人來說，這個節日的重要性如同圣誕節對于西方人。具體的節慶日期是由農歷（lunar calendar）而不是由公歷（Gregorian calendar）決定的。所以，春節的節慶日期一般在元月下旬與二月上旬之間。新年的準備活動自臘月底（農歷年底）開始，人們忙于掃塵，還清債務，理發，置新衣。人們也會在家中或到廟里燒香（burn incense）祭祖，祈求老天爺保佑平安。

譯文：The most important holiday in China is the Spring Festival, which is also known as the Chinese New Year.To the Chinese people it is as important as Christmas to the westerners.The date for this annual celebration is determined by the lunar calendar rather than the Gregorian calendar, so the timing of the holiday varies form late January to early February.Preparations for the New Year begin on the final days of the last lunar month when most families clean their homes, pay their debts, have their hair cut and buy new clothes.People also burn incense at home or in the temples to pay respect to their ancestors and to pray to the God for a happy life in the coming year.

12、原文：中國日益擴大的國際接觸對其進步一直是至關重要的。中國能夠在已取得的經濟成功的基礎上進一步發展，關鍵是它進入了世界市場。讓我們看幾個統計數字。1979年以來，外貿占中國國民生產總值（Gross National Product/GNP）的比重從10%上升到45%。融入世界市場已成為中國經濟生活的一個基本事實。繼之而來的是融入世界投資體系。外國資金大量流入中國，外資存量（reserve of foreign funds）從1989年的50億美元上升到1994年的近900億美元。

譯文：China’s growing international engagement has been vital to her progress.The key to sustaining and building on early economic success was China’s move into the world markets.Let’s consider a couple of statistics.Since 1979 foreign trade, as a share of China’s GNP has risen from 10% to 45%.Integration in the world markets became a bare fact of Chinese economic life.With that came integration into the world investment system.Foreign funds flowed into China in a spectacular way.The reserve of foreign funds grew form ＄ 5 billion in 1989 to nearly 90 billion by 1994.

13、我們中國是世界上最大的國家之一，它的領土和整個歐洲的面積差不多相等。在這個廣大的領土之上，有廣大的肥田沃地給我們以衣食之源；有縱橫全國的大小山脈，生長了廣大的森林，貯藏了豐富的礦產；有很多的江河湖澤，給我們以舟揖和灌溉之利；有很長的海岸線，給我們以交通海外各民族的方便。（136字）難點注釋：

1）廣大的肥田沃地large areas of fertile land

2)給我們以衣食之源provide us with food and clothing

3）縱橫全國的大小山脈mountain ranges across its length and breadth

4）廣大的森林，豐富的礦產with extensive forests and rich mineral deposits

5）給我們以舟揖和灌溉之利provide us with water transport and irrigation

6）交通海外各民族的方便facilitate communication with nations beyond the seas 參考譯文：

China is one of the largest countries in the world，her territory being about the size of the whole of Europe.In the vast country of ours there are large areas of fertile land which provide us with food and clothing，mountain ranges across its length and breadth with extensive forests and rich mineral deposits，many rivers and lakes which provide us with water transport and irrigation，and a long coastline which facilitates communication with nations beyond the seas.14、一周七天不間斷的學習，這些學生的生活的每一分鐘都在為高考準備，因為高考決定了他們的命運。對于那些來自貧困或者農村家庭的孩子們來說，在這場考試中好好表現，毫無置疑是他們爬上社會階梯并成功的唯一的方法。競爭是激烈的，大部分的高中生最后不得不被分配到職業學校去。（128字）

每一分鐘都在為高考準備are regimented(嚴格地管制)almost every minute of the day as they prepare for 不得不被分配到be relegated（歸入，把降低到）to 參考譯文：

Studying seven days a week, the students’ lives are regimented(嚴格地管制)almost every minute of the day as they prepare for the end-of-year exam that can determine their fate.For many students from poor or rural backgrounds, a strong performance on the test is the only way to climb the social ladder and excel without connections.Competition is fierce and the majority of high school seniors will be relegated（歸入，把降低到）to vocational schools.

15、污染已成為問題，因為在當今人口越來越多，社會越來越工業化的世界上，人類正在污染他們居住的環境。許多科學家認為人類最大的錯誤是把發展和進步等同起來。現在人們以懷疑的態度看待“發展性”的產業，因為它們的副作用會破壞環境，破壞各種生命之間的關系。人口的增長導致對世界上有限的空氣、水和土地的需求不斷增長。伴隨著人口增長的是越來越多的人渴望更高的生活水平。于是對電、水和商品的更大需求必然造成有更多的廢物要處理。這個問題已經引起人們對生物及其環境的日益關注。許多人認為，人類沒有盡快地解決這一問題，卻只顧謀求私利，以致于到了無可挽救的地步以后才充分認識到這種兵貴神速。

參考譯文：

Pollution is a problem because man in an increasingly populated and industrialized world is upsetting the environment in which he lives.2)Many scientists maintain that one of man’s greatest errors has been to equate growth with advancement.3)Now “growth” industries are being looked on with suspicion in case their side effects damage the environment and disrupt the relationship of different forms of life.4)The growing population makes increasing demands on the world’s fixed supply of air water and land.5)This rise in population is accompanied by the desire of more and more people for a better standard of living, in an ever increasing amount of waste material to be disposed of.6)The problem has been causing increasing concern to living things and their environment.7)Many believe that man is not solving these problems quickly enough and that his selfish pursuit of possessions takes him past the point of no return before he fully appreciates the damage.16、現在大學生的學習壓力相當重。除了大四，他們開始找工作了，其余的學生總是忙于學習，而不愿參加校園團體和俱樂部，不愿參加體育鍛煉和其他課外活動，不愿與他們的朋友玩玩，不愿關心和學習沒有關系的事。總之，他們就像一個機器人。壓力大，時間少，功課多。看到同寢室里的人都上圖書館去學習，到深夜閉館才回，而自己卻去看電影，他們就會有一種內疚感。一想到白天什么事都沒干，心里就感到不安，會整夜因此睡不著覺。他們學習太緊張，幾乎沒有時間好好品嘗生活，干些其他事，成為一個全面發展的人。讀大學使他們失去太多的個人幸福和健康。

參考譯文：

College students now bear heavy academic pressure.2)You will find them—except seniors who are beginning to look for a job—always too busy in studies to join campus organizations too busy to take part in sports and other extracurricular activities too busy to share the interests of their friends and too busy to pay attention to anything that is not connected with their studies.3)In short they have become nothing but a robot.4)They are under pressure to do too much work in too little time.5)If their roommates are studying in the library until it closes at midnight while they go to a movie they will feel guilty.6)The very idea of doing nothing during the day will make them uncomfortable and sleepless all night.7)They study so hard that they have hardly had time to savor life and to pursue other interests to grow as well-rounded people.8)The pursuit of college education costs them too much personal happiness and health.17、新年春節剛過，農村的破舊小車站就擠滿了成千上萬的農民。他們只有一個目的，到城市去。八十年代處，農村的改革，使得千千萬萬的農民從土地上解放了出來，紛紛跑到城市找工作。自那以后，這種大規模的民工潮一直使城市感到頭痛。這不僅是因為對城市設施造成了極大的壓力，而且他們擔心會引發許多社會矛盾。所以外來民工往往補被看成二等公民，不能成為城市居民，孩子不能在城市讀書。但是另一方面，城市和經濟開發區的發展急切需要大批勞力到工廠和建設工地。而且政府也感到如果不讓農民出來。而農民的不滿加劇，會導致社會**。

參考譯文“

Only a few days after the Lunar New Year in dilapidated little railway stations throughout the countryside millions of peasants are gathering with a single purpose to get to the cities.3,4)Even since the early 1980s when the agricultural reform freed millions of farmers to seek city jobs the mass not just because of the pressure it puts on infrastructure.5)Many fear that migration on such a giant scale will lead to social strain,6)As a result they have treated the migrants as second-class citizens.6)For instance workers form the rural heartland are denied the right to settle down as permanent residents and to send their children to city schools.7)But on the other hand in booming cities and special economic zones factories and construction sites need all the labor they can get.8,9)And the government believe that if the rural masses did not get a share of and poor countryside would further widen leading to a building-up resentment that might fuel social unrest.

18、不同的人對退休持不同的態度。有些人認為退休后可以好好享受晚年的生活。但真的退下來了，他們則有點失望。看到自己就要被拋到廢物堆里，他們不甘認命，設法另找事干來發揮自己的于熱，以繼續得到收入。另一些人則對一生中這樣一個重大變動早有準備。他們一生為工作操勞，現在筋疲力盡了，渴望退休后能放松拉緊的弦，好好休息。由于不再需要每天早晨去趕公共汽車了，不再要為晉級慮。就可以有足夠的時間去追求童年時的夢想，如寫寫書、畫畫圖、種種花、周游各地。總的來說，沒有像男的一樣感到可怕。

參考譯文：

Attitudes towards retirement vary from person to person.2)Some people think that they will enjoy their time in retirement, 3)but when it comes they may feel a little disappointed.4)Unwilling to resign themselves to the prospect of being put on the scrap heap they try to seek alternative outlets for their energies and alternative sources of income that employment can provede.5)Others have already prepared themselves for the significant change in their lives.6)Tired out after all exhausting life revolving around work they are anxious to relax in retirement with all the strains relieved.7)As there is no more need to rush to catch a morning bus and no more anxiety about promotion they now have enough time to fulfill an old dream such as writing painting growing flowers and traveling around.8)On the whole female workers tend to have a more favorable attitude towards retirement than male workers.9)Withdrawal from employment to complete domesticity is a far less threatening experience for a woman than for a man.19、當我們從全球的角度來看環境問題時，首先注意的是環境問題引起人們的各種擔心。發達國家擔心的是大氣和水的污染，能源的緊張，城市對農村面積的不斷蠶食。發展中國家最擔心的是營養不良，人口增長，水源不足，缺少教育和就業機會。

參考譯文：

When we examine environmental problems in a global context the first thing that impresses us is the variety of concerns they evode.2, 3)Whereas in the developed world the focus is on air and water pollution the energy shortage and chewing up of the rural areas by urban sprawl the concern of the developing countries will most likely center on malnutrition population growth insufficiency of water the lack of education and jobs.20、這次長江流域的水災是44年來最嚴重的。官方的數字表明已有2000多人死亡，1380萬人被迫離開家園。占中國總耕地面積3%的450萬公頃的農作物被毀。工廠被迫停工，產量受到影響。客運的貨運也被迫中斷。在未來的許多歲月里，人民都會感受到洪災對中國經濟的總體影響。盡管損失如此嚴重，舉國上下，展民與洪水的斗爭是非常值得稱贊的。在抗洪斗爭中，中國人民顯示了令人嘆服的守堤防洪的能力，例如這次國家調動了160萬軍隊去幫助守護大堤，將被洪水淹沒地區的百姓遷走。事實上，差不多有數百萬平民百姓參加了這一人類巨大的斗爭。

參考譯文：

The floods in the Yangtze River basin are the worst in 44 years.2)Official figures indicate that more than 2000 people have been drowned and 13.8 million have been driven from their jhomes.3)Crops have been destroyed on 4.5 million hectares.3 percent of China’s total cropland.4)Industrial output has suffered as factories have had to shut.5)The transportation of goods and people has been disrupted.6)The overall effect on China’s economy will be felt for many months.7/8)Despite the serious damage China deserves a lot credit for the nationwide effort to deal with flooding during which the Chinese have demonstrated a remarkable capacity for shoring up dikes and protecting themselves from flooding.9)For example 1.6 million troops have been mobilized to help protect the dikes and to move people out of areas being flooded.10)Literally millions of civilians are involved in this enormous human effort.
