As the world is getting more and more densely populated,air pollution has become a severe problem.Air pollution mainly derives from four major human activity sectors: industry,energy,transportation and agriculture.Energies are needed to run factories,to power trains,planes and buses.Nearly all of these energies are produced by burning fuels,which would cause air pollution.Scientists are studying new ways of generating electricity that can be less damaging to the environment.The increased public environmental awareness has led to the advent of activities such as recycling.

一、歷史文化
四大文明古國:中國位于亞洲東部,是世界上人口最多的國家。中國是世界四大文明古國之一,擁有大量的中華文化光輝的古跡,此外,中國地大物博,擁有茂密的森林、雄偉壯麗的瀑布、秀麗的湖泊以及如利劍直插云霄的山峰,所有這些都令世界各國人民神往。但是,更重要的是,中國以擁有五千多年的歷史而自豪,遺留下無數(shù)的歷史文物,其中包括珍貴珠寶、古跡名勝、宮殿及數(shù)不盡的雄偉建筑,令人驚嘆不已。這種種原因都促使中國成為許多人夢寐以求的旅游勝地。
China lies in the east of Asia and it has the largest population in the world.China is also one of the four countries in the world that have an ancient civilization, Besides ,it has a vast territory with such abundant natural resources as dense forests, magnificent waterfalls, majestic and beautiful rivers and lakes, and mountains whose peaks reach high into the sky like swords.All these make China a singularly attractive place to tourists around the world.But, most importantly, China boasts a history of over five thousand years with innumerable historical relics left over from the long past, such as priceless pearls and jewels, historic sites and scenic spots, palaces and edifices of architectural richness, all of which have won people’s admiration.You are sure to find great enjoyment from all these attractions in China, a much-admired dream land.中華傳統(tǒng)文化:中華民族的傳統(tǒng)文化博大精深,源遠流長。早在2000多年前,就產(chǎn)生了以孔孟為代表的儒家學說和以老莊為代表的道家學說,以及其他許多也在中國思想史上有地位的學說流派,這就是有名的“諸子百家”。從孔夫子到孫中山,中華民族傳統(tǒng)文化有它的許多珍貴品質(zhì),許多人民性和民主性的好東西。比如,強調(diào)仁愛,強調(diào)群體,強調(diào)和而不同,強調(diào)天下為公。特別是“天下興亡,匹夫有責”的愛國情找,“民為邦本”,“民貴君輕”的民本思想,“己所不欲勿施于人”的待人之道,吃苦耐勞,勤儉持家,尊師重教的傳統(tǒng)美德,世代相傳。所有這些,對家庭,國家和社會起到了巨大的維系與調(diào)節(jié)作用。
The traditional Chinese culture, both extensive and profound, starts far back and runs a long,long course.More than 2,000 years ago, there emerged in China Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism represented by Lao Zi and ZhuangZi, and many other theories and doctrines that figured prominently in the history of Chinese thought, all being covered by the famous term” the masters’hundred schools.” The traditional Chinese culture presents many precious idea sand qualities, which are essentially populist and democratic.For example, they lay stress on the importance of kindness and love in human relations, on the interest of the community, on seeking harmony without uniformity and on the idea that the world is for all.Especially, patriotism as embodied in the saying ”Everybody is responsible for the rise or fall of the country”;the populist ideas that “people are the foundation of the country” and that “people are the more important than the monarch”;the code of conduct of “Treat othersas you want to be treated”.And the traditional virtues taught from generation to generation: endurance and hard working diligence and frugality in household management ,and respecting teachers and valuing education.All of which have played a great role in binding and regulating the family, the country and the society.漢語:從某種意義上說,漢語是一種很古老的語言,其最早的漢字已有近四千年的歷史了。漢字在其漫長的發(fā)展史中演化成許多不同的書寫形式,例如篆書、隸書、楷書和行書。中國書法家往往使?jié)h字的字形夸張以取得藝術(shù)效果,例如旅游勝地的一些石刻碑文。中國書法是一門研究藝術(shù),隨著各位學習興趣的提高,我們將適時介紹中國書法的流派,以及如何欣賞中國書法的藝術(shù)性。
In a sense ,Chinese is a very old language, and its earliest characters date back nearly four thousand years ago.During their long history of development, Chinese characters have evolved into many different script forms, such as the Sealscript, Clerical script, Regular script and Running script.Chinese calligraphers usually render their Chinese characters in ways that exaggerate the form to yield artistic beauty, such as those in stone inscriptions seen in tourist resorts.Chinese calligraphy is a subject of artistic study.As your interest in Chinese character system increases in the days to come, we will introduce in due time the different schools of Chinese calligraphy, and how to appreciate the artistic beauty of Chinese calligraphy.孔子:孔子(ConfUcius)是一位思想家、政治家,教育家,也是中國儒學(the Ru School)思想的創(chuàng)始人。儒學(Confucianism),這個道德和宗教哲學的大系統(tǒng)建立在孔圣人(Master Kung)的教學上。馮友蘭,中國思想史上20世紀偉大的的權(quán)威之一,把孔子在中國歷史上的影響比作西方的蘇格拉底。Confucius was a thinker, political figure, educator, and founder of the Ru School of Chinese thought.Confucianism, the great system of moral and religious philosophy built upon the teachings of Master Kung.Fung You-lan, one of the great 20th century authorities on the history of Chinese thought, compares Confucius9 influence in Chinese history with that of Socrates in the West.紅樓夢:《紅樓夢》問世二百年以來,通過漢文原文和各種譯文讀過此書的人,不知有多少億!這么多的讀者哪一個是先看批評家的文章,然而再讓批評家牽著鼻子走,按圖索驥地去讀原作呢?我看是絕無僅有的。一切文學作品,特別是象《紅樓夢》這樣偉大的作品,內(nèi)容異常地豐富,涉及到的社會層面異常地多,簡直象是一個寶山,一座迷宮。而讀者群就更加復雜,他們來讀《紅樓夢》,會各就自己的特點,欣賞該書中的某一個方面,受到鼓舞,受到啟發(fā),引起了喜愛;也可能受到打擊,引起了憎惡。總之是千差萬別。
Ever since the publication of A Dream of Red Mansions some 200 years ago, hundreds of millions of people have read its Chinese original or its translations in various languages.Of these innumerable people, how many have read the novel by starting with a perusal of the critics' articles and allowing themselves to be led by the nose by the critics as to how to read the novel? Next to none.All literary works, especially a monumental one like A Dream of Red Mansions, are extremely rich in content and involve perse social strata-to such an extent that they virtually resemble a mountain of treasure or a labyrinth.And the readers are even more complicated, differing from each other in family background.They will each appreciate a certain aspect of the novel according to their own inpiduality.They may feel inspired and enlightened, and hence love it, or they may feel hurt, and hence loathe it.In short, the reactions vary.二、傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日 春節(jié):春節(jié)慶祝活動是一年中最重要的慶?;顒?。中國人慶祝春節(jié)的方式可能略微不同,但其愿望幾乎是相同的,他們希望其家人和朋友來年健康和幸運。春節(jié)慶?;顒油ǔ3掷m(xù)15天。慶?;顒影ù汗?jié)的年夜飯,放鞭炮,給兒童壓歲錢,春節(jié)鐘聲和春節(jié)問候。大多數(shù)中國人將在春節(jié)的第7天停止慶?;顒?,因為全國性節(jié)假通常在這一天結(jié)束,但在公共場所的慶?;顒涌赡茏罱K持續(xù)到正月十五。Chinese New Year Celebration is the most important celebration of the year.Chinese people may celebrate the Chinese New Year in slightly different ways but their wishes are almost the same;they want their family members and friends to be healthy and lucky during next year.Chinese New Year Celebration usually lasts for 15 days.Celebratory activities include Chinese New Feast, firecrackers, giving lucky money to children, the New Year bell ringing and Chinese New Year Greetings.Most of Chinese people will stop the celebrating in their home on the 7th day of New Year because the national holiday usually ends around that day, however celebrations in public areas can last until the 15th day of New Year.清明節(jié):清明節(jié)的習俗是豐富有趣的,除了講究禁火、掃墓,還有踏青、蕩秋千、蹴鞠、打馬球、插柳等一系列風俗體育活動。相傳這是因為清明節(jié)要寒食禁火,為了防止寒食冷藏傷身,所以大家來參加一些體育活動,以鍛煉身體。因此,這個節(jié)日既有祭掃新墳生別死離得悲酸淚,又有踏青游玩的歡笑聲,是一個富有特色的節(jié)日。
Ching MingFestival(the Tomb-sweeping Festival), the custom is full of interesting.In addition to pay attention to ban fire, tomb-sweeping, as well as spring outing, swinging, Cuju, playing polo, Liu inserted a series of custom sports.According to legend, this is because the Ching Ming Festival to Cold Food Observance ban fire, in order to prevent the Cold Food Observance buffet beverages, so we come to participate in some sports, in order to exercise.Therefore, this festival which has both the acid tears of sorrow for the died and the laughter from the players, is adistinctive holiday.元宵節(jié):與大多數(shù)中國節(jié)日一樣,元宵節(jié)同樣有自己的特色小吃,成為“湯圓”(也叫“元宵”)。湯圓外形圓圓的,外皮由糯米制成,內(nèi)陷或甜或辣。人們都說湯圓有兩個象征之意,一為農(nóng)歷的第一個月圓,二為家庭團聚圓滿。元宵節(jié)傳統(tǒng)習俗中還有一部分是關于猜燈謎的游戲。在過去,這些謎語大多出自于模糊的文學典故和中國古典文學之中,所以猜燈謎以前多為知識份子的“領地”。踩高蹺,敲大鼓和舞龍獅也是元宵節(jié)主要的娛樂活動。
Like most Chinese festivals, the Lantern Festival has its own special food, called “tangyuan”.These are round, glutinous rice dumplings with sweet or spicy fillings.The dumplings are said to symbolize both the first full moon and family utility and completeness.Part of the lantern festival tradition involves a game to guess riddles attached to the lanterns.In the old days the riddles were obscure literary allusions to the Chinese classics and so were mainly the preserve of the educated classes.Stilt-walking ,drumming and dragon and lion dancing are the main entertainment forms of the Lantern Festival.端午節(jié):端午節(jié),又叫龍舟節(jié),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?guī)砹撕推胶头睒s。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(jié)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。The Duan WuFestival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patrioticpoet Qu Yuan.Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as are sult of being vilified.People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water, hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of QuYuan’s body.For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes.中秋節(jié):農(nóng)歷八月十五日是中國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日——中秋節(jié)。在這天,每個家庭都團聚在一起,一家人共同觀賞象征豐裕、和諧和好運的圓月。此時,大人們盡情吃著美味的月餅,品著熱騰騰的香茗,而孩子們則在一旁拉著明亮的兔子燈盡情玩耍。月宮里美麗的仙女嫦娥的神話故事賦予了這個節(jié)日神話色彩。傳說古時候,天空曾有10個太陽圍著地球旋轉(zhuǎn)。后翌射下了其中9個太陽,拯救了地球上的生靈。他偷了長生不老藥,卻被妻子嫦娥偷偷喝下,從而產(chǎn)生了嫦娥奔月的故事。
The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar month.It is atime for family members to congregate and enjoy the full moon, which is a symbol of abundance, harmony and luck.Adults usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of various kinds with a good cup of hot Chinese tea, while the children run around with their brightly-lit rabbit lanterns.The festival wasendowed a mythological flavour with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful lady inthe moon.According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it.Hou Yi, shot down 9 of the suns to save all the lives on carth.Hestole the elixir of life, which can make people immortal.However, his wife ,Chang-E drank it.Thus the legend of Chang-E flying into the moon came int obeing.三、傳統(tǒng)事物
筷子:中國人使用筷子已經(jīng)有3 000多年的歷史了。中國的筷子夾菜的一端是圓的,象征著天;另一端是方的,象征著地。這是因為,維持充足的食物供應是天地之間最重要的事情。中國有個古老的風俗,女子出嫁時要用筷子當嫁妝,因為“筷子”與“快子”諧音。根據(jù)中國的餐桌禮儀,吃飯時一直握著筷子是不禮貌的。將菜送入口中后,應立刻把筷子放下。吃飯時,用筷子指著別人會對其造成冒犯。
There has been a history of more than 3 000 years for the Chinese to have meals with chopsticks.Chinese chopsticks are round on the eating end which symbolizes the heaven, and the other end is square which symbolizes the earth.It is because maintaining an adequate food supply is the greatest concern between the heaven and the earth.There is an old custom in the past in China, that chopsticks should be apart of a girl’s dowry.Kuaizi(chopsticks)is pronounced the same as “kuaizi”.The latter symbolized “quick” and “son”.According to the Chinese traditional table manners, it is impolite to hold the chopsticks all the time over the meal.As soon as one person sends a bite into his mouth, he should putdown the chopsticks.It would offend others to point at them with chopsticks over the meal.文房四寶:在中國,筆、墨、紙、硯(ink slab),就是人們所說的“文房四寶”,在中華文明的傳承中起了重要作用。文房四寶不僅有實用價值,它們本身也是供人觀賞的藝術(shù)品,并逐步成為收藏品。文房四寶品類繁多,豐富多彩,選材制作不斷趨于完善、精美,歷代都有名品、名匠產(chǎn)生,成為一種深厚的文化積淀。在當今時代,使用筆、墨、紙、硯進行學習、寫作的人越來越少了,但是,在中國的書法、繪畫、收藏以及修身養(yǎng)性活動中,它們?nèi)云鹬豢商娲淖饔谩?/p>
In China, “four treasures of the study” refers to “writing brush”, “ink stick”, “paper” and“ink slab”, playing an important role in passing on Chinese civilization.They not only have their value of practical use, but also become the works of art for appreciation and collection.There is a large variety of these four treasures.Selecting of materials and making process have become increasingly delicate and perfect.Each dynasty of Chinese history saw famous craftsmen appear and works produced, which is a profound process of cultural accumulation In contemporary times, “four treasures of the study” have been increasingly rarely used for study or writhing, but they are still playing anir replaceable role in the field of Chinese calligraphy, painting, collection and in the activities of cultivating one's mind.中國結(jié):中國結(jié)(The Chinese Knot)是一種古老的藝術(shù)形式。人們發(fā)現(xiàn),繩結(jié)可以追朔到10萬年前。中國人不僅用繩結(jié)來固定、包裹、狩獵、捕魚,還用來記錄事件,而且有些繩結(jié)純粹起裝飾作用。中國結(jié)具有文化內(nèi)涵(cultural connotation)。由于結(jié)在漢語中的發(fā)音與“吉”相近。吉的意思是“福、祿、壽、喜、財、安、康”,這是中國人永恒的追求,因此有些中國結(jié)表達出人們的各種愿望。例如:新婚夫婦的房間通常用一個盤長結(jié)(Pan-chang Knot)來裝飾,象征著永恒的愛情。The Chinese Knot is an ancient art form and artifacts could be found as far back as 100 000years ago.Chinese people used knots for more than justfastening , wraping, hunting, fishing.Knots were also to record events ,and someknots had purely ornamentak functions.The Chinese Knot has cultural connotations.Since knot is pronounce d as“jie” in Chinese similar with that of “ji”,which means blessing,goodsalary,longevity,happpiness,fortune,safety and health and is the everl astingpursuit of Chinese people ,some Chinese Knots espress people's various hopes.Forexample ,the room of newlyweds is usually decorated with a Pan-Chang Knot to symbolizeeternal love.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(huán)境、氣候、文化傳統(tǒng)、民族風俗和其他因素的影響下經(jīng)過悠久歷史的發(fā)展已經(jīng)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(qū)分的,各有其長處。
China is atime-honored multi-ethnics nation with a vast territory and abundant resources,and every ethnic group has its unique abundant dishes.Regional cuisines havetaken shape after long-history evolution under the influence of geographicalenvironment, climate, cultural tradition, folk customs and other factors.Themost influential and representative ones are Lu, Chuan,Yue, Min, Su,Zhe, Xiang and HuiCuisines, which are commonly known as “Eight Major Cuisines”.Dishes in the“Eight Major Cuisines” in China are characterized by persified cooking skills,with each having its strong points.四、傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)

Wushu, or Chinese martial art, can be traced back to ancient times.It is a gem of Chinese traditional culture.As well know, the fine culture of a nation does not belong to the nation alone and it will be spread to the rest of the world and shared by all humanity.// The Chinese Wushu Association and International Wushu Federation(IWUF)have been working very hard to popularize wushu and make the Chinese martial art closer to the Olympic Movement.Wushu was accepted to join bowling and international standard dance as an Olympic demonstration event.//The booming of wushu is attributed not only to the attractiveness of the sport but also to emigrant Chinese wushu masters over the years.// Martial artists of the older generation shave sown wushu seeds in foreign countries.Wushu, which can be used as self defense and can keep practitioners fit and strong, soon became popular on new lands.Today superb wushu masters are active all over the world, and amateurs are on the increase with each passing day.獅舞: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(tǒng)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(qū)趕邪惡、保護人類。據(jù)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(jīng)被引入了皇室。因此,舞獅成為元宵節(jié)(the Lantern Festival)和其他節(jié)日的習俗,人們以此來祈禱好運、平安和幸福。
The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China.The lion is the king of animals.In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck.Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans.The dance has are corded history of more than 2,000 years.During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty.Therefore ,performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness.四六級考試的作文題目無非就是兩類: 第一.和自己發(fā)展有關的個人成長成功話題; 第二.和社會現(xiàn)象相關的學校社會熱點話題; 而四六級的寫作結(jié)構(gòu)很固定: 第一段:引出話題(對于圖畫描述)第二段:闡釋話題 第三段:總結(jié)話題
第一類話題需要大家說自己的認識,其實就是喊出一些無用的口號,并且的變了方的把這些口號喊的比較復雜,人在成長成功過程中的品質(zhì)通常包括了:某種品質(zhì)對成功很重要: 可能出現(xiàn)的主題詞:

It is my view that national culture as priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved and cherished.Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate international culture.While global economic integration has fostered thorough cultural interchanges, it is multiculturalism that essentially makes the society and its people diverse, colorful, vigorous and open-minded.Nevertheless, certainly, when we are confronted with a different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and to resist its dark side.Only in this way can we promote cultural development positively and make our world dimensional, colorful and vigorous.孝敬父母(caring parents)(filial piety)Only in a reasonable, prosperous and healthy atmosphere can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which our parents can enjoy their life to the uttermost.10. 提高學生的身體素質(zhì)(physical exercise build a strong body and relieve pressure and keep a pleasant mood)
11. 大學生的就業(yè)(sticking to our own choice of following our parent’s arrangement)
Only in a reasonable, prosperous and healthy atmosphere can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which our graduates can enjoy their careers to the uttermost.12. 大學城的建造(the construction of university town)
Only in a reasonable, prosperous and healthy atmosphere can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which our students can enjoy their study to the uttermost.先談社會話題:
負面的話題無非要涉及解決的問題,正面話題就是展望未來,現(xiàn)在送大家一些在考研和四六級中正負面話題都能用的表達:
The general public is supposed to enhance their awareness that 大眾需要提升對于…的意識是,In view of the complexity of such a topic, we must treat it socially, economically and culturally.考慮到話題的復雜性,我們必須從社會,經(jīng)濟和文化角度來對待這個話題。
In a sense, it is not why sth.exists in today’s world but what we should do to cope with it.總之,不是討論為什么在今天的世界會存在這種話題,而在于我們應該怎么去應對他。
文章最后一定能用到的表達:
In view of the importance and the complexity of such a positive/negative phenomenon, we must treat it socially, economically and culturally and maintain it the very force that has driven our society/或 life forward.Only in a reasonable, prosperous and healthy atmosphere can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which people can enjoy their life to the uttermost./或in which student can enjoy their study to the uttermost.特別警惕,四六級還可以出一些應用文作為考察的對象,這里附上一篇歡迎辭; My dear new friends, You are welcomed to join in our English club.I am very glad that you will be a part of our fantastic club.Established in 2001, our club has celebrated her 10th birthday.In the past ten years, a lot of interesting activities have been designed and organized.Our most famous activities include talk shows, speech competition and role play competition.In our club, you will have ample opportunities to enjoy English movies, meet foreign friends and of course practice your oral English with them.I am sure you will enjoy happy moments in our club and make progress in your English learning.

如今,越來越多的大學生抱怨很難找到好工作。造成這一現(xiàn)象的原因如下:首先,大學生把在校的大多數(shù) 時間都用在了專業(yè)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(yè)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(jīng)驗。
參考答案
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.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(yè)培訓:翻譯為it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training?!挥挟?才 ’’用強調(diào)句型it is only when?that?表示。,3.導致:翻譯為results in,同義短語有l(wèi)ead to和bring about,但是表示不好的結(jié)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(jīng)驗:翻譯為accumulate relevant working experience.2014年12月大學英語四級翻譯練習及解析9

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(jīng)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(nèi)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(jīng)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(jīng)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 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”

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(wǎng)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。
參考答案:
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.2014年12月大學英語四級翻譯練習及解析6
1936年竺可楨授命出任浙江大學校長。在此之前,他已經(jīng)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(zhàn)爭、學運的夾縫中,在極為惡劣的環(huán)境下,他跋涉五千里、五易校址、歷經(jīng)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.他跋涉五千里、五易校址、歷經(jīng)五省、顛沛流離,分析: 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(xù)的狀態(tài)。

中國公司想創(chuàng)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(chǎn)業(yè)。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(chǎn)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(chǎn)品拿到中國來賣,而現(xiàn)在,中國消費者變得更加挑剔,他們不再那樣容易滿足了。
參考答案:
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 caompanies 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.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(chǎn)品。
分析:
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”。
