孫煥奐

整體而言，本次考試的翻譯難度中等，與往年基本持平，主要側重對詞組的考察，對考生的語言基本功有較高的要求。大部分考點都是 四六級 的核心詞匯和高頻詞組，所以只要考前充分復習，相信大部分考生都可以在考場上做到游刃有余。

82.With the oil prices ever rising, she tried to talk ______________（說服他不買車）.解析：做四六級翻譯題的實質是補全句子，所以已給英文題干和中文部分都要仔細分析。說服某人，考生第一反應是persuade sb.into doing sth.,但是題干已給動詞talk，所以考察點是talk sb.into doing sth.，考生如果對這個詞組不熟悉，可以大膽套用persuade這個詞組的格式。

參考答案：him into stopping buying a car.83.________________（保持幽默感有助于）reduce stress and promote creative thinking in today’s competitive society.解析：考點有兩個，“幽默感”和“有助于”。某方面的“感”，如正義感，責任感，在 英語(論壇)中都用“sense”來表達，即sense of justice, sense of responsibility。“有助于”可用兩種表達方式，be helpful to do sth., 或者help to do sth.另外注意動詞短語做主語，要轉化為動名詞形式，即keep表達為keeping。

參考答案：Keeping a sense of humor helps to

84.When confronted with the evidence, _______________（他不得不坦白自己的罪行）.解析：本題考察一個完整的主句，考點在于“坦白”和“罪行”兩個單詞的表達。參考答案：he had to confess his crime.85.When people say, “I can feel my ears burning”, it means they think___________________（一定有人在說他們的壞話）.解析：本題考察“說某人壞話”，六級高頻詞組，有兩種表達方式，speak evil of sb.或者talk sb.behind one’s back.后者在我的課堂上曾經以周星馳電影中的經典翻譯摘舉中給大家講過，很多同學考后致電，感到很開心。另外，推斷某人一定在做某事，考察情態動詞“must be doing sth.”。

參考答案：someone must be talking about them behind their back.86.She has decided to go on a diet, but finds ___________________（很難抵制冰淇淋的誘惑）.解析：本題考察詞組“發現某事很難（find it hard/difficult to do sth.）”,以及高頻詞“抵制（resist）”和“誘惑（temptation）”

參考答案：it hard/difficult to resist the temptation of ice-cream.寫作范文：

According to the Bible, it is the almighty God who gave names to everything he created: “he named the light ‘Day' and the darkness ‘Night'”.In fact, a name is a word or phrase that man uses to denote and identify a specific person, place or thing.There is no inexorable correlation between the sign and “the signified”.For this reason, some claim that names are not so vital as they are supposed to be.However, I am fully convinced that they are of great importance.Take the name of a person as an example.It is known to all that a person's name is divided into two parts: given name and surname.The given name is the name our parents assign us.We ourselves might change it later in our life.Usually, when a name is given, it contains a lot of information.Say, “li” in the name of some Chinese females shows that we wish them to “beautiful” while “wei” in the names of some males reveals that we expect them to be “great” in their future life.As to the surname or family name, it is even more important, so important that some people may sacrifice their life for it.Originally, man had no such a name.But ever since a certain name was given, each member of the family carries it wherever he goes.Rather than merely a sign, it is the root from which we can trace back to our ancestor, the tie that helps bind us to other members of the same clan, the dignity most people hope to live for.Apart from the name of a person, that of a place or thing is also significant in that it embodies history and culture.All in all, though names are assigned artificially, man is not free when giving names.But God is.恩波版范文

On the Importance of a Name

有人認為名字（名稱）不重要；

有人認為非常重要；

你認為呢？

On the Importance of a Name

A name is the representation of a person or an entity.It plays an important role in social recognition, just as the old saying goes: a thing is the entity of a name.However, people have diverse opinions on the importance of a name.Some people say that name is important, while the others maintain the other way round.But I think name is of great importance because it is the symbol that distinguishes one thing or person from the others.We cannot deny the importance of a name, be it for a person or a thing.In the world today, no one can live without identification because they must get social recognition, and name is the symbol of the identification.Once a person or a thing gets social recognition, people will remember their names, and they will get further improvement.Besides, a good name will bring people some nice association.A person with a special name may be easily accepted by a group or a community because of the deep impression the name leaves.As for companies or products, a name is also vitally important.Years ago, a computer company spent millions of dollars for the name “Acer”.Since then, the company caught the attention of potential customers and became one of giants in the field.However, another company was facing bankruptcy, for the name of its product implies unfavorable meaning thus cannot be sold out.Can we say that name is not important?

A name may affect the whole life of a person, and a name may also influence the future of a company and its products.Therefore, we must treat names carefully.

My View on On-campus College Students’ Marriage

It is a new thing that Chinese on-campus college students are legally allowed to get married before they complete their courses.Many people applaud this new development while others have expressed their negative concern about this.Those who take sides against this new trend believe that college students will inevitably have less time and energy for their academic life because married students have more real-life problems to deal with than those unmarried ones.One common argument, however, for【與上文的against是相對的】 on-campus college students’ marriage is that a number of students do have a desire for an ideal marriage.Now that they have come to a suitable age, they are entitled to such happiness.Of the two views discussed above, I’m in favor of the former.My reason is that on-campus students are laden with academic tasks.If one gets married now, he or she has to work much harder than any other student because they have to solve their financial problems at the same time.As a married couple【復數，指代的是兩個人】, for instance, they are supposed to rent a room in or outside the university, which will naturally add to their spending.【注意：on-campus中間有連接號，變成形容詞詞組，”on-campus students”指在校的學生。而“在校園”則去掉連接號：on campus；校園生活：campus life

Marry是及物動詞，marry sb.”與某人結婚”，后面需有名詞。表示結婚的動詞詞組可用get married，而非以marry單獨使用】

Part VIWriting

1.(06年6月)On the Importance of a Name

Sometimes people ponder for months just to think of a good name for their children or for their businesses.Does a nice name really promise a glorious future? People’s opinions differ greatly over this issue.Some believe a name is no more than a sigh.It serves its purpose perfectly as long as it is used conveniently by others.However, others argue that a name has a magic power as to alter people’s impression on and attitude towards the named.One compelling argument involves the renaming of some Chinese Laozhihao(old domestic brands).Facing the would-be increasingly bleak business situation last year, six Chinese old brands decided to give themselves new English names.Compared with their old English names, the new ones have given prominence to the history of the brands, while giving English speakers an idea of what they are or what they sell.Therefore, with a new international appearance, the traditional brands have made themselves more popular with customers both at home and abroad.As far as I’m concerned, to a certain degree, a name does create a vivid image in people’s mind, resulting either in fondness or dislike.Thus, one should always be serious at choosing names.2.（09年12月）Should Parents Send Their Kids to Art Classes

Nowadays, many parents send their children to various art classes, where the kids are expected to learn how to paint, dance, sing or play musical instruments.Some people firmly support these parents.Since the competition among the kids for places in famous primary schools and middle schools is fierce, they see an artistic talent of the kids as an extra advantage in the competition.Furthermore, they claim, even if the kids do not do well in art, the art learning experience may prove useful for their future life.However, others seriously doubt this.They complain that, for those kids who do well in art, art classes have taken up so much of their leisure time that many are leading a very stressful childhood.For those who have no interest in such classes, they are just a waste of time.In my opinion, parents should encourage their kids to take art classes but at the same time have an open mind about this issue.If the kid is keen on art, art classes are sure to be the first choice.But if the kid hates it, he should not be forced to take them.3.（10年6月）Due Attention Should Be Given to the Study of Chinese

Nowadays, while an increasing number of people are busy learning foreign languages, the attention to the study of our mother tongue is on the decline.Should such a trend continue, it would definitely lead to an undesirable result in the long run.The reasons for our ignorance of the study of Chinese are obvious.Firstly, globalization plays a major role in the prevalence of the nowadays internationally used language---English, distracting us from studying our own language.Among college students, the influence of western lifestyle is especially strong---the young are either not interested or even have no time to care for our own culture, let alone the language.Secondly, our schools are not attaching any importance to the education of Chinese.The lesson hours of Chinese are far fewer than those of English, and English has now even crowded into the teaching syllabus of primary schools, occupying the time

that pupils should otherwise spend studying Chinese.In order to change the situation, efforts from governments and schools alike should be made.More Chinese lessons are essential, and even more importantly, students’ awareness of the study of our own language should be raised.After all, the promotion of our language is the key to the prosperity of our nation’s culture.4.（10年12月）My View on University Ranking

In recent years, university ranking becomes very popular, especially among high school students.They use such ranking as the first criterion to choose their future academic institutes.However, people’s opinions vary on this issue.Some believe university ranking is essential in indicating the quality of a university, while others dismiss it as misleading.As far as I’m concerned, university ranking could offer some hints while it is by no means the only standard to judge the quality of a university.On the one hand, university ranking helps create a competitive atmosphere in higher education, encouraging the institutions to improve their teaching and research.On the other hand, the ranking criterion itself might be flawed.There is hardly a single and universal standard to weigh colleges of different specialties.In a word, though university ranking may help to indicate the gap between universities, thus encouraging the less competent ones to catch up, more scientific criteria to rank them are yet to be adopted.5.（08年12月）How to Improve Students’ Mental Health

Have you ever heard college students moan in depression? Do you know anyone with learning pressures? The sad fact is, mental health is becoming an increasingly troublesome issue for undergraduates.But solving the problem calls for collaborative efforts between universities and students themselves.On the part of universities, courses of mental health should be added to the curriculum.Besides, the counseling center staff and faculty alike are expected to expand and improve mental health services on campus.On the students’ part, they should try to face the reality and figure out the causes of depression so that they can better understand it.They should also learn how to identify unhealthy behavior or thoughts and make changes accordingly.Besides, students should communicate more with friends, teachers and parents, find better ways to cope with and solve problems, and set realistic goals for their life.To conclude, universities should pay more attention to students’ mental health, and put more effort into developing mental health counseling system on campus, whereas students should try to stay positive and optimistic, and find ways to solve their own problems.6.Say No to Drunk Driving

As is known to all, drunk driving is very dangerous.It puts to risks not only the driver’s life but also of other innocent people.Dangerous as it is, there have been more and more people who drive after drinking in recent years.One reason for this is that people have been getting wealthier these years.More and more people own cars, and they like to drive to get-togethers and other occasions where they might drink alcohol.Another reason is that many people are overconfident with their driving skills.They

believe that they can avoid accidents even if they are drunken.As a result, thousands of people fall victim to drunk driving each year.In my opinion, we should say no to drunk driving immediately.There have already been too many traffic accidents that are related to drunk driving, so strict laws and regulations are called for to ban it in order to create a safer road condition for all citizens.7.On Private Tutoring

Nowadays, it’s very common for parents to hire private tutors for their children.Some people believe that private tutoring is helpful for a child to make rapid progress in his study, while others hold opposite views.As far as I am concerned, private tutoring is not advisable for most people.First, private tutoring is not necessary.If a student listen carefully to his teachers in classes, finish his homework on time, and study hard, he can perform well in his study without any private tutoring.Second, private tutoring may put a child under great stress.Once, a child told me that he hated private tutoring because it takes so much of his time that he can not play with his friends very often.In return he just won’t listen to his private tutor.In one word, private tutoring is not a heal-all, so I think parents should think twice before they rush to hire a private tutor for their kids.8.How to Cultivate Team Spirit?

Team spirit is a must for the growth of everyone.Without teamwork, no individual or group(a company, an institute or even a country)can achieve anything.However, nowadays many people lack team spirit.Some of them are just too individualistic to be cooperative with others.Then how can we cultivate team spirit?

First, I think all people should be taught to learn the importance of team spirit.Those talented people who lack team spirit may be willing to cooperate once they realize the limitation of their personal abilities and learn the importance of working as a team.Furthermore, all people should be encouraged to take active part with everyone cooperating to achieve a common purpose.“Unite we stand, divided we fall.” We should keep this in mind and make great efforts to cultivate team spirit.2010級第三學期六級專項復習錯誤說明

Topic 1 文化概述

在中國五千年的文明史上，中國人有無數的發明和創造，如漢字、中醫、絲綢、瓷器(porcelain)、指南針、造紙術、印刷術和火藥(gunpowder)。這些獨特的發明和創造是中國人對世界文明的偉大貢獻，證明中華民族是一個富于原創性的民族。與此同時，中國人又有一種開放的胸懷，歡迎遠方來的朋友，并以極高的熱情吸收和包容外來的文化。大唐盛世和明代鄭和七下西洋都表明，中華文明具有開放性和包容性。Over a history of 5 000 years, Chinese people have produced numerous inventions.These unique inventions, including Chinese characters, traditional Chinese medicine, silk, porcelain, compass, papermaking, printing and gunpowder, are significant contributions Chinese made to the global civilization, proving that the Chinese nation is full of creativity.In the meanwhile, the Chinese people have always kept an open mind toward foreign friends and absorbed foreign cultures with great enthusiasm.Both the prosperity of Tang Dynasty and Zheng He’s seven long voyages to the West Seas in Ming Dynasty demonstrate the openness and inclusiveness of Chinese culture.Topic 2 四大發明

說到中國古代的科技文明，就不能不說四大發明（the Four Great Inventions）。人們普遍認為，指南針、火藥(gunpowder)、造紙術和印刷術的發明對中國古代的政治、經濟、文化的發展產生了巨大的推動作用；并且，這些發明經由各種途徑傳至西方，也影響著世界的文明進程。從歷史發展的角度來看，中國古代的四大發明是為人類社會生活帶來革命性變化的科學發明，這是中國人對世界文明的偉大貢獻。中國的四大發明在人類科學文化史上留下了燦爛的一頁，推動了人類歷史的前進。

When it comes to science and technology in ancient China, the Four Great Inventions, including compass, gunpowder, papermaking and printing, should always be discussed.It is commonly believed that the Four Great Inventions have promoted the development of politics, economy and culture of ancient China dramatically;moreover, these inventions have a great impact on the civilization of the world since they have been introduced into the Western world in various ways.From the perspective of historical development, the Four Great Inventions of ancient China are scientific inventions that bring revolutionary changes to the social life of human beings, which are great contributions Chinese made to the civilization of the world.The Four Great Inventions of ancient China are brilliant in the history of human science and culture and promote the progress of human history.Topic 3 長

城

說到中國文化，不得不提到長城。從公元前 7世紀到公元 16世紀，在大約2 200 年的時間里，先后有19個朝代修建過長城，所修的長城累計有10萬千米以上。主要的長城修建工程是在秦代、漢代和明代。現今存有遺跡的主要是明長城，從東邊人海口的山海關(Shanhai Pass)開始，一直到沙漠深處的嘉峪關(Jiayu Pass)，全長6 700 千米。長城是世界歷史上最偉大的工程，其建造時間之長、參與人數之多、工程難度之大，在世界上無出其右。

When it comes to Chinese culture, the Great Wall is the one that will be definitely referred to.From the 7th century BC to the 16th century, through about 2 200 years, the Great Wall was built in 19 dynasties and reached a length of more than 100 000 kilometers.Major construction was carried out in Qin, Han and Ming Dynasties.The Great Wall we visit nowadays is mainly the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty, stretching 6 700 kilometers from Shanhai Pass on the eastern seashore to Jiayu Pass in the depth of desert.The Great Wall is the greatest project in the history of the world for its unparalleled span of construction, number of labors and difficulty.Topic 4 移民現象

現在，很多人選擇在國外生活，這引起了人們極大的關注。越來越多的人，特別是大量知識分子(intellectual)，移民到美國、英國和加拿大等發達國家。并且，很多在國外學習和工作的人都在為“綠卡”而奮斗。造成這種現象的原因有很多，其中，追求高質量的生活是關鍵。再者，這些人中大多數人移居國外是想讓孩子在那兒接受良好的教育。此外，一些人只是想體驗他們所喜歡的異域文化。以上這些就是造成他們決定移居他國的原因。

Nowadays many people choose to live in a foreign country, which has aroused great concern.More and more people, especially plenty of intellectuals, migrate to some developed countries, such as America, Britain and Canada.In addition, there are still many people studying and working in foreign countries struggling for green cards.There are many reasons accounting for this phenomenon.Among all these factors, pursuing high-quality life plays a critical role.Moreover, most of them migrate to some foreign countries with a view to making their children Receive good education there.Besides, some people just want to experience the foreign culture they like.All these above factors contribute to their choice to migrate to another country.Topic 5 中國漢字

近年來，隨著經濟的快速增長，中國的國際影響力提升了，世界上學漢字的人也多了起來。這套獨特的符號系統積淀了豐富的歷史文化內容，西方人在學漢字的過程中甚至能體會到這個東方民族的微妙心靈。如今在中國，漢字也越來越受到人們的重視。人們發現，這一文字符號包含著豐富的文化內涵和審美意蘊，在科技飛速發展的今天，反而越來越顯示出它的光彩。古老的文字在現代的文化生活中煥發出新的魅力。

With its rapid economic development in recent years, China’s international influence has greatly increased, so the number of Chinese character learners across the world has been on the rise.This unique symbol system accumulates the rich historical and cultural content in it.When Western people learn Chinese characters, they may even understand the delicate thoughts of this oriental nation.Nowadays, great importance is attached to Chinese characters in China.It is found that the glamour of these character symbols with rich cultural and aesthetic connotation is greatly shown especially in the current society with rapid scientific development.These ancient characters are revitalized in modern civilization.Topic 6 鄭和下西洋

公元 1405 年 7月11日，地球藍色的海洋上出現了一支龐大的船隊，前后有208 艘船，這是有史以來最大的一支船隊，船上所載的各類人員有27 500多人，也是有史以來最多的航海人員。船隊由一位叫鄭和的人統帥。船隊帶著中國這個古老國家的瓷器、絲綢、茶葉等數不盡的珍奇，穿越南海、馬六甲海峽(the Strait of Malacca)，橫跨印度洋，到達亞洲、非洲的很多國家。在此后的28 年間，鄭和一共六次下西洋，隨船人員共計10萬多人，訪問了30多個國家。

On July 11, 1405, a huge fleet consisting of 208 ships appeared on the blue sea of the earth.It was the greatest fleet with more than 27 500 crews that the world had ever seen.The Commander of this fleet was Zheng He.Carrying porcelain, silk, tea and other numerous Treasures from China, a country with a long history, the fleet passed through the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca, traversed the Indian Ocean and arrived at many countries in Asia and Africa.Over the next 28 years, Zheng He led six more fleets with crew members adding up to more than 100 000 people, and visited more than 30 countries.Topic 7中國藝術

中國人創造了很多獨特的藝術形式，如純凈的瓷器，千古傳誦的唐詩(Tang poetry)，以演員表演為中心的京劇等。這些藝術形式呈現了中國人的心靈世界，顯現了中國人獨特的美感，成為展示中國人生命力和創造力的窗口，具有永恒的魅力。中國人將藝術當作提升生活品質、慰藉(soothe)心靈的媒介，藝術是中國人人生哲學的延伸。中國的藝術傳統是一部記載著中國人生活品位和美感世界的活的圖畫，反映出中國人的優雅心態。The Chinese have created many unique forms of art, such as pure porcelain, enduring Tang poetry and actor-centered Peking Opera, etc.These art forms with eternal charm reveal the inner world of the Chinese people, demonstrate their unique sense of aesthetics and become the windows that show the vitality and creativity of Chinese people.The Chinese regard art as a way to enhance the quality of life and to soothe the mind.Art is an extension of the Chinese philosophy of life.Chinese art tradition is a vivid picture of Chinese people’s lifestyle and aesthetics, reflecting Chinese elegance.Topic 8 中國園林

中國人建造園林有兩干多年的歷史，主要有皇家園林(imperial garden)、寺院園林和私家園林。現存的皇家園林，如北京頤和園，都是舉世聞名的園林。中國的佛教和道教寺院也多建有園林，如杭州靈隱寺。在這中間，私家園林獨具風味。今天，在江南(South“the Yangtze River)和長江沿岸的蘇州、揚州等地所見的私家園林，多是明清兩代留下的，它們如同一幅幅山水畫(the landscape painting)，展現出獨特的魅力。中國園林藝術有豐富獨特的創造，是理解中華民族美感特點的一個重要領域.Chinese people started to build gardens more than 2 000 years ago, mainly including three styles of garden: the imperial garden, the temple garden and the private garden.The extant imperial gardens today, such as the Summer Palace in Beijing, are world-famous gardens.Many gardens were also built in China’s Buddhist and Taoist temples, such as the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou.While among the Chinese gardens, the private gardens have a unique ambience.Scattered in South of the Yangtze River and Suzhou, Yangzhou and other places along the Yangtze River, the private gardens are mostly legacies from Ming and Qing Dynasties.They resemble the landscape paintings with distinctive charm.Rich and unique creativity could be found in Chinese gardens, which is an important field to understand Chinese aesthetics.Topic 9 中國詩歌

中國是詩的國度。尤其到了唐代，中國古典詩歌進人了全盛時期(heyday)。唐代近三百年間，涌現出了大批優秀詩人和杰出的詩歌作品。唐代詩歌數量極大，題材廣泛，意象(image)和風格多樣化，出現了大量思想性和藝術性完美結合的作品。唐詩是中國人的千古絕唱。唐代的偉大詩人不勝枚舉，其中李白、杜甫、王維因其詩歌所蘊含的中國文化的意味和情趣而最具代表性。

China is a country of poetry.Especially in Tang Dynasty, Chinese classical poetry reached its Heyday.During the nearly three-hundred-year reign of Tang Dynasty, large numbers of excellent poets and outstanding poems mushroomed.Poetry of Tang Dynasty featured large quantities, wide themes and diversified images and styles, and many masterpieces with perfect combination of great thoughts and artistry emerged.Poetry of Tang Dynasty is Chinese eternal legacies.Li Bai, Du Fu and Wang Wei are the representatives of great poets of Tang Dynasty due to the unique meaning and temperament of Chinese culture in their poems.Topic 10 茶館文化

中國很多地區依然保留著傳統的茶館文化，尤其是在四川省的省會成都，茶館遍布城市的各個角落：路邊、橋下、公園里，甚至寺院和其他歷史景點。泡茶館（relaxing in teahouse）是當地市民最喜歡的消遣方式之一。工作日的下午三點鐘，茶館里往往人滿為患。當地人坐在古色古香的竹椅里，所用的茶具本身可能也是古董。服務人員托著一大堆茶具急匆匆地跑來跑去，將長嘴壺（long-spout kettle）里倒出來的水注滿茶杯，為顧客沖泡最優質的茶葉。

Traditional teahouse culture still exists in many parts of China, especially in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province.Teahouses are everywhere: on the sides of roads, under bridges, in the parks and even inside temples and other historical sites.Relaxing in teahouse is one of the favorite pastimes of the locals in Chengdu.A teahouse full to the brim-at three o’clock on a workday afternoon-is nothing out of the ordinary.Locals sit on quaint bamboo chairs and drink from traditional tea sets that could well be antiques in their own right.Teahouse waiters scurry around with trays of tea sets, and top up tea cups with hot water poured from long-spout kettles to brew up the high-quality tea for tea drinkers.Topic 11 京劇角色

“生、旦、凈、丑”是京劇中的角色分類。“生”是男性正面角色，“旦”是女性正面角色，“凈”是性格鮮明的男性配角(supporting role)，“丑”是幽默滑稽或反面角色。每種角色又有表明身份的險譜(facial make-up)、扮相(costume)等，只要演員一上場，你一看便知。在人的臉上涂上某種顏色以象征這個人的性格和品質、角色和命運，是京劇的一大特點，也是理解劇情的關鍵。簡單地講，紅臉含有褒義，代表忠勇(valor)；黑臉為中性，代表猛(vigor)智；黃臉和白臉含貶義，代表兇詐。

Sheng, dan, jing, chou refer to different types of roles in Peking Opera.Sheng is the positive male role, dan is the positive female role, while jing is a supporting male role with a distinctive character and chou is the clown or a negative character.Each type of role has its own facial make-up and costume that expose its identity as soon as he/she appears on the stage.One major characteristic of Peking Opera is the color painted on the face of a character that shows personality, quality, role and fate.It is also the key to understanding the plot.To put it simply, red is appreciative, standing for loyalty and valor;black represents a neutral role, representing vigor and wisdom;yellow and white both suggest cunning, negative characters.Topic 12 羊

羊是一種本性溫順（docile）、易于管理的動物。從巖畫（rock painting）上原始人鐫刻的形態各異的羊形象中，我們可以看出人類與羊的親善、和諧關系。羊為人們的生活或祭祀而犧牲，是“有義 personal loyalty之物”。羔羊似乎懂得母親的艱辛與不易，所以吃奶時是跪著的。羔羊的“跪乳”被人們賦予了“孝順”和“懂禮”的意義。據文獻記載，人們很早就把羊的美德視為人的道德準則和榜樣，這反映了人們對羊的精神感受和對羊的秉性的人格化概括。

The sheep is an animal that is docile in nature and easy to manage.From the sheep images of various shapes on the rock paintings carved by primitive men, we can see the good and harmonious relationship between human beings and sheep.Sheep sacrifice their lives for people’s living or worship, and therefore are deemed as embracing personal loyalty.The lamb seems to know the hardship of its mother, sucking the breast on bent knees.Such behavior is considered by people to have symbolic meanings of filial piety and courtesy.According to the documents, people have long regarded this morality of sheep as a moral code and example for human beings, which is a reflection of people’s feeling toward sheep and a personalized summary of sheep’s nature.Topic 13 聯合國中文日

聯合國中文日是聯合國語言日的一部分。根據傳說，倉頡(Cang Jie)創造了中國最原始的象形文字(hieroglyph)。上蒼因倉頡造字而感動，為其降下一場谷子雨，這就是“谷雨”(the Grain Rain)的由來。中文日因此被定在每年中國農歷的“谷雨”，以紀念漢字始祖倉頡。從2010 年開始，聯合國每年都在中文日前后舉行多種形式的慶祝活動。例如： 2014 年，紐約聯合國總部以書畫展、茶藝表演(tea-making performance)、歌曲演唱和書法講座等形式慶祝中文日。

The Chinese Language Day is part of the UN Language Days.According to legend, Cang Jie created the original hieroglyph used in China.The Heaven was moved and rained grain in praise of him, which is the origin of the Grain Rain.As a result, the Chinese Language Day is set on the rain Rain according to the Chinese lunar calendar in memory of Cang Jie, the ancestor of the Chinese characters.Since 2010, the UN has been holding all kinds of celebrating activities around this day every year.For example, in 2014, the UN Headquarters in New York celebrated this day with painting and calligraphy exhibitions, tea-making performances, singing performances, calligraphy lectures, etc.Topic 14 筷子

筷子由兩根長短相同的木棍組成，是中國的傳統餐具(eating utensil)。筷子出現在三千多年前，它的出現不僅是中國烹飪文化的變革，也是人類文明的標志。此外，筷子在烹飪技巧的發展過程中也起著推動作用。如今，筷子不僅是一種餐具，還成為一種獨特的文化形式，對于我們來說，筷子可以作為藝術品來欣賞、研究和收藏。筷子雖小，但仍被世界上許多人所推崇。一項有趣的實驗表明，當你在使用筷子的時候，許多關節和肌肉都會得到鍛煉。

Chopsticks, the traditional eating utensils in China, are a pair of equal length sticks.Chopsticks appeared more than three thousand years ago.The appearance of chopsticks is not only a revolution of Chinese cuisine culture, but also a symbol of human civilization.Besides, chopsticks have promoted the development of cooking techniques.Today, chopsticks not only area kind of tableware, but also have become a unique culture form, coming in front of us as a work of art for appreciation, research and collection.Chopsticks are small, but they are adored by many people in the world.An interesting experiment shows that many joints and muscles can be exercised when you use chopsticks.Topic 15 風

箏

風箏起源于中國，在這個國家，制作風箏的理想材料一應俱全：絲織品用來做帆，極具韌性的(high-tensile-strength)絲線可以制作風箏線，輕盈的骨架則由韌性十足的竹子制成。據說，風箏是墨子和魯班在公元前 5世紀時發明的。在13世紀末期，馬可·波羅首次將與風箏有關的故事介紹到歐洲。盡管風箏最初只被看作是珍奇物品(curiosity)，但自18世紀開始，風箏被用作科研工具。現在，風箏節已經成為一種流行的娛樂形式，最為著名的就是中國的濰坊風箏節。

Kites originated in China, where ideal materials for making kites were readily available: silk fabric for the sail;high-tensile-strength silk thread for the flying string;and resilient bamboo for the light framework.It is said that kites were invented by Mo Zi and Lu Ban in the 5th century BC.Stories of kites were first introduced to Europe by Marco Polo in the late 13th century.Although kites were initially regarded as curiosities, since the 18th century they have been used as a vehicle for scientific research.Now, kite festivals have become a popular form of entertainment, and the most famous one is China’s Weifang Kite Festival.Topic 16 銅

鼓

銅鼓（bronze drum）文化是遠古時代在長江以南及東南亞的廣大地區流行的一種典型文化代表。在古代，銅鼓多用于祭神、征戰和節日活動。在祭神時，它是神圣的法器（artifact）；征戰時，它是號令軍隊振作士氣的軍樂 器；在節日里，它又成為最激動人心的打擊樂器（percussion instrument）。銅鼓給人們帶來的不僅是精神層面的東西，它還有重要的實用價值。許多少數民族依然保留著在傳統節日及婚娶和喪葬等場合使用銅鼓的習俗，The bronze drum was a kind of typical culture popularized in the wide area of South of the Yangtze River in China and Southeast Asia in ancient times.More often than not, it was used on such occasions as sacrifice ceremonies to gods, launching ceremonies for the war and festival activities.It was sacred artifact on the sacrifice ceremonies, military musical instrument transmitting orders to soldiers and reviving the morale in the war, exciting percussion instrument in festivals.In addition to its spiritual content, the bronze drum also benefits people with its important value of practical use.Many minority groups still adopt the tradition of playing the bronze drums on the occasions of traditional festivals, wedding ceremony, funeral ceremony, etc.Topic 17十二生肖之鼠

鼠相貌猥瑣，鬼鬼祟祟，破壞力強，落得個“老鼠過街，人人喊打”的千古罵名。但它居于中國

三生肖(the twelve symbolic animals)之首，自古以來就令人不可思議。一個較為合理的解釋是：鼠常在夜里23時至凌晨 1時四處活動，這是一天當中最黑暗的時候，老鼠此時出沒便于隱藏行跡。由此看來，鼠晝伏夜出的（nocturnal）習性是使它能夠在十二生肖中獨占鰲頭的主要原因，與其口碑不佳及相貌可鄙沒有關系。

Rat looks mean and stealthy, and always causes mass destruction, winning it the notorious reputation for “A rat crossing the street is chased by all.” However, it ranks first among the twelve symbolic animals, which has always been a wonder since ancient times.A more reasonable explanation is;Rats often move around from 11 pm to 1 am, the darkest hours in a day that is convenient for the rats to hide themselves.Judging from this, the habit of being nocturnal is the main reason why rat is put in the first place in the twelve symbolic animals, which has nothing to do with its bad reputation or contemptible looks.Topic 18 中國寄宿幼兒園

20世紀90 年代，中國寄宿幼兒園(boarding kindergarten)的孩子數量達到頂峰，在當時送孩子去這樣的學校是一種地位的象征。不過最近，這一體系不再像當初那樣流行。一些私立和公立的(state-run)寄宿幼兒園都陸續關門，其他的幼兒園正在從寄宿變為日托。位于上海的中國福利協會幼兒園(The China Welfare Institute Kindergarten)以前是寄宿幼兒園，但現在22個班里只有3個寄宿班。中國家長現在開始意識到，孩子很小的時候要多花時間陪陪他們，這點很重要，因為孩子們正處于學習的階段，這是成長過程中一個很重要的階段。

The number of kids sent to boarding kindergartens in China peaked in the 1990s, when sending a young child to such schools was a symbol of status.Recently, however, the system has become less popular.Some boarding kindergartens, both private and state-run, are closing one after another.Others are switching from boarding classes to day care.The China Welfare Institute Kindergarten in Shanghai used to be a boarding kindergarten, but now in the 22 classes, only 3 classes for young children are residential.Chinese parents are now starting to realize that it’s important to spend more time with their kids when they are very young, because they are learning in this period and it’s a very important stage of growth.Topic 19 家庭觀念

中國人重團圓、重親情、講孝道（filial piety），并強調家庭的和睦。中國人最期望的就是“家和萬事興”。當家庭中出現矛盾的時候，中國人最忌諱把這些矛盾暴露在外人面前，所以中國人常說“家丑不可外揚”。中國人在家庭中還特別重視父母、長輩的意見，“不聽老人言，吃虧在眼前”便是強調長輩的經驗對年輕人具有重要的作用。中國人還強調家庭教育對孩子人格形成的重要影響，常說“子不教，父之過”。Chinese people attach great importance to reunion, family love, filial piety and a harmonious relationship among the family members.What they expect most is “the family being in harmony and all affairs prosperous”.When there emerges a conflict in the family, it is a taboo for Chinese people to expose the problem to others.Therefore it is often said by Chinese people, “You’re your dirty linen at home.” In a Chinese family, the opinions of parents and the elders are greatly respected.It is often quoted, “You will suffer losses if you close your ears to the elders”, which reflects that the elders’ experience is of great importance to the younger generation.And Chinese people place emphasis on family education which is believed to have great influence on children’s character building, and this can be demonstrated by the proverb “Failing to educate the children is the fault of the father.“

Topic 20科舉考試

科舉考試（Keju）是中國古代人才選拔的一種方式。由于采用分科目選舉人才的辦法，所以叫作科舉。隋煬帝于公元 605 年開設進士科，用考試的辦法來選拔人才，這標志著科舉制度的開始。它把讀書、考試和做官三者緊密結合起來，揭開了中國人才選拔史上嶄新的一頁。唐朝承襲了隋朝的人才選拔制度，并進行了進一步的完善。因此，科舉制度逐漸完備起來。科舉考試實行了1 000多年，在實踐中逐漸形成的一些較好的制度至今仍在我們的社會生活中發揮著作用。

Keju, or the imperial examination, is a means to select talents held in ancient China.It got its name since it adopted the method of selecting talents through a range of different subjects.In605 AD, Emperor Yang of Sui established the imperial examination system to select talents, which symbolized the official formation of Keju.The system interconnected learning, examination, and the selection of officials closely, opening up a new page in the annals of talents selection system.The Tang Dynasty followed and further improved the talents selection system of the Sui Dynasty.Consequently, the imperial examination system gradually became perfect.During the over 1 000 years’ implementation of the imperial examination, some good systems have been set up in practice, exerting an influence on our social life till today.Topic 21 造紙術

東漢(Eastern Han Dynasty)末年，蔡倫的造紙術被廣泛應用。到了公元 3至5世紀的兩晉時期(period of Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties)，人們開始在紙上寫字，并由此發展出寫在紙上的書法藝術。中國的造紙術先后傳到了現在的越南、朝鮮和日本。公元 7世紀左右，又傳到了印度。造紙術還通過陸上絲綢之路傳到了西亞和歐洲。歐洲的造紙業大致從公元12世紀開始，在之前，歐洲人主要使用羊皮等來書寫，據說書寫一本《圣經》需要300多張羊皮，可見其昂貴程度。造紙業的興盛開創了人類文明的新紀元。In the late of Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun’s papermaking technology widely came into use.In the period of Eastern and Western Jin Dynasties(the 3rd to 5th century AD), people began to write on paper and calligraphy on paper was developed correspondingly.Chinese papermaking technology was introduced to Vietnam, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Japan, and around the 7th century was introduced into India.Papermaking technology was also introduced to West Asia and Europe through the Silk Road.The papermaking industry in Europe started in about the 12th century.Before that, the Europeans mainly wrote on sheepskin.It is said that writing a Bible needed more than 300 sheepskins, indicating the expensiveness of it.The rise of papermaking industry started a new era of human civilization.Topic 22 中國經濟發展勢頭

當前我國經濟發展勢頭良好，經濟增長的內在機制（the internal mechanism）不斷增強，基本做到了速度、質量和效益的統一。但是，我們也要清醒地看到，世界上沒有一個國家的經濟發展可以長盛不衰，永遠保持高速度。中國也不例外。改革開放取得的成就是有目共睹的，但是新的矛盾和問題也出現了，如國企（state-owned enterprise）改革問題、貧富分化問題、腐敗問題、金融風險問題、生態環境破壞問題等。這些問題都需要我們高度重視，盡快找到有效的解決辦法。

At present our economy enjoys good momentum of growth.The internal mechanism for economic growth has been increasingly strengthened.We have, to a large extent, struck the right balance among speed, quality and economic benefit.But we must keep a clear mind and realize that there are no countries in the world that can keep an economic boom with high-speed growth.China won’t be an exception.The achievements of the reform and opening-up are obvious to all.But now there are also some new problems.These include the problems.In the reform of state-owned enterprises, the enormous gap between the rich and the poor, corruption, risks in the financial sector as well as ecological and environmental damage.We need to pay high attention to the problems mentioned above and find effective solutions in the shortest time.Topic 23 上海自由貿易試驗區

發展中國（上海）自由 貿易試驗區(China(Shanghai)Pilot Free Trade Zone)是國家戰略，是深化改革、擴大開放的重大舉措，意義深遠。這項重大改革以制度創新為著力點，重在提升軟實力(soft power)，各項工作影響大、難度高。建設中國（上海）自由 貿易試驗區是順應全球經貿發展新趨勢，實行更加積極主動開放戰略的一項重大舉措。建設自由貿易試驗區的主要任務是探索中國對外開放的新路徑和新模式，推動加快轉變政府職能和行政體制改革(reform of administrative System)，促進轉變經濟增長方式和優化經濟結構。

Developing the China(Shanghai)Pilot Free Trade Zone is a national strategy, and a major initiative for deepening the reform and expanding opening-up, which has a profound and important influence.This major initiative focuses on institutional innovation and emphasizes on promoting soft power.All the work is significant but in great difficulty.Building the China(Shanghai)Pilot Free Trade Zone is a major move to conform to the new trend of global economic and trade development and implement a more proactive opening-up strategy.The main task of this action is to explore the new path and pattern of Chinese opening-up, speed up the transformation of government function and the reform of administrative system, foster the transformation of the economic growth pattern and optimize the economic structure.Topic 24 科技園區建設

在經濟增速放緩的大背景下，作為推動新型城鎮化建設的重要載體，科技園區(high-tech Zone)的建設至關重要。在創新成為重要經濟驅動力的今天，科技園區作為全球知識經濟中企業和研究機構的創新、創業最佳棲息地，不僅承載著推動技術創新、加速知識轉移（knowledge Transfer)、加快經濟發展的使命，也是城市經濟發展與競爭力的重要來源。科技園區如何充分發揮其在“新型城鎮化”進程中的巨大作用，已經成為人們關注的焦點。

In the context of slow economic growth, the construction of high-tech zone is crucial as an important carrier to promote the new urbanization.Today when innovation becomes a major economic driver, high-tech zone, the best habitat for the innovation and new business of enterprises and research institutes in the global knowledge economy, not only takes on the mission of promoting technological innovation and accelerating knowledge transfer and economic growth, but also plays an important role as a source of economic growth and competitiveness in cities.How the high-tech zone gives full play to its great function during “new-type urbanization” has been focused on.Topic 25 中國經濟結構的改善

中國經濟已經出現了明顯的結構改善的跡象。一方面，貿易順差(trade surplus)出現了明顯的而且是持續的下降，其主要原因不是出口的放緩，而是進口的加速；另一方面，居民消費占GDP的比重并不像統計所說的持續下降，而是從2007 年開始就持續上升。這些結構調整方面的明顯改進并不是具體政策調整所帶來的，而應歸功于市場，是市場的力量推動結構調整。中國經濟應該堅定不移地沿著市場化(marketalization)的方向走下去。

It is shown that the structure of Chinese economy has been’ obviously improved.For one thing, trade surplus has declined dramatically and continuously.The primary reason is not the slowdown in the export but the acceleration of import.For another, the proportion of residents’ consumption on GDP does not keep declining as statistics show, but has kept rising since 2007.The obvious improvement of structure comes up owing to the market rather than some specific policy adjustment.It is the power of the market that promotes structure adjustment.Chinese economy should unswervingly go on the path of marketalization.Topic 26 會展業

會展業(exhibition industry)在中國被譽為朝陽產業。目前，中國的會展業已經成為新的經濟點。北京奧運會和上海世博會的成功舉辦對中國的會展業發展意義深遠。這兩件國際盛事不僅讓世界認識了中國，更為重要的是，為中國會展業引入了大量的外國資金、技術和人才。但是，我們也必須清醒地認識到制約中國會展業發展的因素。中國的會展業起步較晚，直至最近才發展成一個獨立產業，其出現和發展都帶有自發性和隨意性。

Exhibition industry is referred _to, in China, as sunrise industry.At present, China’s exhibition industry has become a new economic growth point.The Beijing Olympic Games and the Shanghai World Expo were successfully held, which exerted a far-reaching impact on the development of exhibition industry.The two international events have not merely made China known to the world.More importantly, they have introduced abundant foreign capital, technologies and talents to the exhibition industry of China.However, we must also be well aware of the constraining factors of China’s exhibition industry.Starting relatively late, China’s exhibition industry did not develop into an independent industry until very recently.Both the emergence and the development of the industry are spontaneous and random.Topic 27 貿易爭端

中國加入世貿組織以后，中國與美國和歐盟通過協商、磋商，已經解決了大量的貿易爭端。中國的傳統是提倡“以和為貴”，做生意就要和氣生財，希望和美國、歐洲的商人能夠和氣相處，能夠共同解決出現的貿易問題。在遇到貿易爭端的時候，一些國家不是尋求妥善解決問題的辦法，而是動輒設限，這種作風無益于解決貿易爭端，也會有損他們的形象。作為禮儀之邦(etiquette）中國一般的做法是首先勸說他們多傾聽大家的意見。

Since the entry into WTO, China has settled numerous trading disputes with America and European Union through consultations and negotiations.With the traditional concept of harmony in mind, China firmly believes that harmony, once realized in business, can bring wealth.Therefore, China has been expecting a harmonious existence with American and European businessmen and a joint effort to solve trading problems.Confronted with trading disputes, instead of seeking out appropriate solutions, some countries frequently set limits, which is no good for solving problems and at the same time damages their images.On the contrary, China, bearing the name of “state with etiquette”, generally talks them into listening more to others’ proposals first.Topic 28 投資環境

中國正在努力改善其投資環境以吸引更多外資。迄今為止，中國的對外投資領域已從工業擴展到金融、房地產(real estate)、外貿及服務業。根據最新的調查，歐盟對中國的投資迅速上升，然而來自美國的實際投資卻有所下降。東南亞依舊是重要的投資來源，并且投資結構已經有所改善。外國投資者對高科技領域及研發中心(R＆D center)的投資表現出極大的興趣。此外，對通信設備、計算機、電子產品及運輸設備的投資也大幅增加。

China is working hard to improve its environment to attract more foreign investment.Up to now, foreign investment in China has extended from industry to finance, real estate, foreign trade and service.According to the latest survey, the investment from European Union has increased rapidly while that from America has experienced a moderate decrease.Southeast Asia remains an important source of foreign investment, and the structure of investment has been improved.Foreign investors are showing great interest in the investment of high-tech fields and R&D centers.In addition, they have also increased substantially the investment in telecom equipment, computer, electronics and transportation equipment.Topic 29 生態觀光

從20世紀80 年代初起，以探險和自然觀光為主題的旅游活動越來越受歡迎。伴隨著全球環境意識的增強及對多元文化的尊重，生態觀光(ecotourism)已經成為旅游業中快速發展的一個組成部分。度假者可以享受都市里五星級酒店的舒適，可以品味高雅餐廳的宜人，而爬山、徒步旅行則成為另一種誘人的選擇。但是，生態觀光并不只是到偏遠的(remote)地方旅行，這一概念也強調教育游客去認識當地風土人情和文化遺產。

Since the early 1980s, tourism centering on adventure and natural sightseeing has become increasingly popular.With the enhancement of global environmental consciousness and increasing respect shown for cultural diversity, ecotourism has become one of the fastest growing sectors of the travel and tourism industry.Tourists can stay in an urban five-star hotel enjoying the comforts or sit in an elegant restaurant tasting the delight, but people can also choose to climb mountains and go hiking, which are the attractive alternatives offered to people.But ecotourism means more than just traveling to remote destinations.It also emphasizes educating visitors about local conditions and customs, as well as cultural heritage.Topic 30 新絲綢之路

新絲綢之路(New Silk Road)是一條全長15 000多公里、貫通中亞的公路干線通道。建設新絲綢之路的初衷是通過這條連接亞歐兩大陸、輻射30多個國家的大動脈(artery)促進國際貿易。隨著經濟全球化的快速發展，特別是中國經濟的騰飛，中國與中亞國家、歐洲國家之間的往來在廣度和深度上都有了空前的發展。新絲綢之路沿線國家已不滿足于僅僅建設交通運輸生命線，還要不斷加深沿線區域經貿合作，形成新絲綢之路經濟帶。

The New Silk Road, more than 15 000 kilometers in length, is a main road passage running across Central Asia.The New Silk Road was intended to boost international trade through the artery that connects Asia and Europe, and radiates over 30 countries.With the rapid development of economic globalization, especially the rise of Chinese economy, China has made unprecedented contact with Central Asian and European countries, both in breadth and in depth.Countries along the New Silk Road are not satisfied with building a lifeline of transportation.They also want to deepen economic and commercial cooperation with districts along the road to frame the new Silk Road Economic Belt.Topic 31 中國快遞企業

根據快遞企業(express delivery enterprise)的性質及規模，可將我國快遞企業分為四類。一是外資企業，外資快遞企業具有豐富的經驗、雄厚的資金和發達的全球網絡；二是國有企業，國有快遞企業依靠其背景優勢和完善的國內網絡在快遞市場處于領先地位；三是大型民營企業，大型民營快遞企業在局部市場站穩腳跟后，已逐步向全國擴張；四是小型民營企業，這類快遞企業規模小、經營靈活但管理比較混亂，主要經營特定區域的同城快遞(intra-city express delivery)和省內快遞業務。

According to the nature and scale, express delivery enterprises in China can be divided into four kinds, including the foreign-funded enterprises, the state-owned enterprises, the large-sized private enterprises and the small-sized private enterprises.The foreign-funded express delivery enterprises have rich experience, sufficient fund and a developed global network;the state-owned enterprises lead the market due to their advantageous background and widespread domestic network;the large-sized private enterprises gain a foothold in local markets and have gradually expanded to the rest of the country;the small-sized private enterprises, characterized by small scale, flexible operation and messy management, specialize in intra-city and provincial express delivery in specific regions.Topic 32 生物產業

生物產業是國家確定的一項戰略性新興產業。過去五年，中國生物產業的年均增速超過了20%。隨著城鎮化和工業化大幅推進，我國面臨日趨嚴峻的人口老齡化、食品安全、能源短缺、生態環境惡化等挑戰。為保障人口健康、糧食安全和推進節能減排，亟須加快新型藥物、作物新品種、綠色種植技術、生物燃料(biofuel)和生物發電(bioelectrogenesis)、生物環保技術、生物基產品(bio-based product)等的開發培育和推廣應用，因此，生物產業將繼續呈現高增長態勢。

Biological industry is an emerging industry of strategic importance designated by the state.During the past five years, the annual growth rate of China’s biological industry has been beyond 20% on average.With large-scale urbanization and industrialization, China is facing the worsening challenges such as the aging population, food safety, energy resources shortage and ecological environment deterioration.To ensure residents’ health, safety of food and the promotion of energy conservation and emissions reduction, the development and application of new drugs, new crop varieties, green planting technology, biofuel and bioelectrogenesis, biological environmental protection technology, and bio-based products, ect.are urgently needed to be accelerated.Therefore, biological industry will keep high growth.Topic 33 礦產資源概述

中國擁有豐富的礦產資源，是世界上少有的礦產自給自足的國家之一，所有世界已知的礦產都能在這里找到。迄今為止，地質學家已經探明儲量的礦物使中國在礦產總儲量上位列世界第三。已經探明儲量的能源包括煤、石油、天然氣；放射性礦物包括鈾(uranium)和釷(thorium)。中國可直接利用的煤炭主要分布在北方地區，尤以山西、內蒙古自治區、陜西和新疆儲量最為豐富。石油資源主要分布在西北部、東北部以及東部地區的大陸架(continental shelf)。

China is rich in mineral resources, and all the world’s known minerals can be found here, which makes China one of the world’s few self-sufficient countries.To date, minerals whose reserves have been confirmed by the geologists make China rank third in the world in total reserves.Proven reserves of energy sources include coal, petroleum, and natural gas;and radioactive minerals include uranium and thorium.China’s coal reserves that can be directly used mainly distributed in north China, with Shanxi, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Shaanxi, Xinjiang taking the lead.Petroleum reserves are mainly in Northwest and Northeast China as well as the continental shelves in East China.Topic 34 中國礦產資源開發

中國是世界上最早開發利用礦產資源的國家之一。過去50 年，中國在礦產資源勘探（survey）開發方面取得了巨大的成就，這為中國經濟的持續、快速、健康發展提供了重要保障。中國是一個人口眾多、資源相對不足的發展中國家，主要依靠本國的礦產資源來滿足現代化建設（modernization program）的需要。同時，中國還不斷努力引進國外資本和技術開發本國礦產資源。中國政府高度重視可持續發展和礦產資源的合理利用，把可持續發展確定為國家戰略，把保護資源列為可持續發展戰略的重要內容。

China is one of the first countries in the world to develop and utilize mineral resources.Over the past five decades, China has made great achievements in the survey and exploitation of its mineral resources, which has provided an important guarantee for the sustained, rapid and sound development of Chinese economy.China is a developing country with a large population and a relative shortage of resources.It mainly depends on the exploitation of its own mineral resources To meet the needs of its modernization program.Meanwhile, China has made constant efforts to introduce foreign capital and technology to exploit its own resources.The Chinese government attaches great importance to sustainable development and the rational utilization of mineral resources.It has made sustainable development a national strategy and the protection of resources an important part of this strategy.Topic 35 中國高鐵

我國地域遼闊、人口眾多，要解決大規模人口流動問題，最安全可靠、最快速便捷、最經濟環保的交通方式就是高速鐵路（high-speed rail。高鐵的誕生滿足了現代社會人們生活、工作、出行節奏快的需求。自2007 年修建第一條高速鐵路“京津”高鐵開始，幾十條高鐵相繼開通運營，中國高鐵運營里程（operating mileage）已達1萬多公里，位居世界首位。而隨著中國高鐵“走出去”步伐不斷加快，中國高鐵正成為一張讓世界了解中國的新名片。

Considering China’s vast territory and large population, high-speed rail is the most secure and reliable transport to solve the mobility problem of the large-scale population.With the highest speed and greatest convenience, it is also the most economical and most environment-friendly The birth of high-speed rail meets the needs of modern people to live, work and go outdoors at a fast pace.Since 2007 when the first high-speed rail line “Beijing-Tianjin” line was built, dozens of lines have been built and operated successively, making China’s high-speed rail operating mileage reach over ten thousand kilometers, ranking first in the world.As China’s high-speed rail accelerates its pace to expand overseas, it is becoming a new business card for China to introduce itself to the world.Topic 36 中國房地產

中國的房地產本質已經發生了極大的變化。十五年前，城市人口主要由國企工人構成，住房由國家統一安排分配。現在的年輕人則需要購買商品房，若沒有房子，連對象都難找，然而，買房卻并不容易。在中國，政府對資金調控極其嚴格，而炒股又有很大的風險性。這樣一來，房子就成了具有保障性的投資商品。中國有13%的城市家庭至少擁有兩套房。因此，中國房地產非常火爆。

The nature of real estate has changed greatly in China.Fifteen years ago, workers in state-owned enterprises, who then comprised a high proportion of the population in cities, were assigned accommodation by the government.But nowadays, young boys have to purchase commercial residential houses because they can hardly find a girlfriend if they do not have their own houses.Buying a house, however, is difficult.Because of the strict capital controls by government and the capricious stock market, the house has become a reassuring investment.Thirteen percent of urban households in China own two or more houses.That’s why China’s real estate has boomed.Topic 37 中國經濟發展成就

在黨中央(the CPC Central Committee)的領導下，我國經濟建設的各方面都取得了巨大成就。我們完成了諸多造福百姓的工程，如西部大開發(Western Development)、南水北調(South-To-North Water Diversion Project)等。用水用電更加方便快捷，出行選擇也多種多樣。我國的國際地位不斷提高，對世界經濟發展產生了巨大影響。加人世界貿易組織后，我國的經濟政策牽動著世界的一呼一吸；成功舉辦北京奧運會和上海世博會，贏得了世界的關注與尊重。總之，中國經濟取得了輝煌成就，中國經濟的明天一定更美好。Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee, we have made great economic accomplishments in all aspects.We have completed many projects bringing benefits to common people, such as Western Development and South-to-North Water Diversion Project.We have easier access to water and electric power, and we have more choices when traveling.Our country’s international status keeps on increasing, making great influence on the world economy.Joining the WTO enables our economic policies to affect the activities of the world.Successfully holding the Beijing Olympic Games and the Shanghai World Expo brings more attention and respect from the world.In a word, Chinese economy has made amazing achievements and will definitely have a brighter future.Topic 38 中國的國際地位

隨著經濟的高速發展和綜合國力的增強，中國在世界上的影響日益增大。2008 年北京舉辦奧運會，2010 年上海舉辦世博會，這意味著有幾千年歷史的中國，正以前所未有的廣度和深度向世界各國開放，并從各個方面融人國際社會。在這樣一個歷史性的時刻，國際社會比過去任何時候都更加關注中國，各國朋友都迫切希望對中國文化有一種比過去更真實、更生動、更深入的認識。

With the rapid development of Chinese economy and comprehensive national strength, China’s international influence has been increasing.The 2008 Olympic Games and 2010 World Expo were respectively held in Beijing and Shanghai, which means China, a thousand-year-old country, is opening to the world with unprecedented breadth and depth, and being integrated into international community in various aspects.At this historic moment, international community is more focusing on China than ever before.People from all over the world are eager to have a realer, deeper, and more vivid understanding of Chinese culture than that in the past.Topic 39 西藏的發展 由于西藏地處“世界屋脊”(Roof of the World)，自然條件惡劣，也由于幾百年落后的封建農奴制社會(feudal serfdom)形成的各種社會歷史條件的限制，西藏在全國還屬于欠發達地區。但是，過去60 年的發展已經極大地改變了其昔日貧窮落后的面貌，西藏人民生活水平大大提高。社會經濟的發展極大地豐富了西藏人民的物質文化生活。2000 年，西藏全區各族人民已基本擺脫貧困，實現溫飽。部分群眾生活達到了小康水平。隨著人民生活逐步富裕，冰箱、彩電、洗衣機等消費品進入了越來越多尋常百姓家。

Located on the Roof of the World, Tibet is still an underdeveloped area in China due to its harsh natural conditions and various social and historical restrictions formed by the backward feudal serfdom with a history of hundreds of years.However, the development in the past 60 years in Tibet has dramatically changed its former poverty and backwardness and the Tibetan people’s living standards have remarkably improved.People’s material life has been greatly enriched by the economic development.In 2000, people of various ethnic groups in Tibet basically shook off poverty and had adequate food and clothes.Part of them began to live a well-off life.As people’s livelihood improves, consumer goods such as refrigerators, color TVs and washing machines have entered more and more ordinary people’s homes.Topic 40 社區公益

社區公益(community public benefit)以公益機構為主體，為達成公益目的而鼓勵社區發動居民積極參與各種公益服務或活動。近年來，越來越多的機構和企業投身到社會公益事業之中，或進行大額捐款，或成立慈善基金，力圖在履行社會責任的同時，凸顯企業的品牌和產品。顯然，這是社會公益不成熟的一種表現，因為那些有著巨大社會需求的社區公益服務，由于需要長期默默無聞的服務和關懷，還沒有得到更多的關注。

The community public benefit whose main body is public organizations encourages residents to take part in various kinds of public services or activities to reach the goal of public benefit.In recent years, more and more organizations and enterprises devote themselves to public benefit by donating large amounts of money or establishing charitable funds to advertise their brands and products while fulfilling their social responsibilities.Obviously, it is a reflection of immature public benefit, because the community public benefit service with large social demand hasn’t been paid more attention to due to the need of long-term obscure service and care.Topic 41 新型農村合作醫療制度

新型農村合作醫療制度(New Rural Cooperative Medical System)目的是為了解決農民的就醫問題，減輕農民因疾病帶來的經濟負擔，提高農民健康水平。新農合將逐漸發展成為較為完善的農村醫療保障制度。它的發展直接影響廣大農民的健康問題。由于中國地區經濟發展不平衡，各地新型農村合作醫療制度采取了不同的實施方案。自 2010 年以來，新型農村合作醫療制度已基本覆蓋農村居民。

The New Rural Cooperative Medical System(the NRCMS)aims to solve the rural residents’ medical problems, alleviate their financial burden of diseases, and improve their health.The NRCMS will gradually develop into a complete rural medical security system.The development of the NRCMS will directly influence the health of all the rural residents.Due to China’s unbalanced economic conditions among different areas, various implementation plans are adopted in the NRCMS from place to place.The NRCMS has basically covered all the rural residents since 2010.Topic 42 綠色就業

綠色就業(green job)是在經濟綠化的過程中產生和發展的，指的是從事綠色經濟活動的就業。綠色經濟是對產業結構、產品生產的技術和工藝、產品生產的組織方式進行“綠化”。綠色就業就是采用綠色技術、工藝和原材料進行生產的就業，就是從事綠色產品生產和服務的就業，就是從事環境和生態保護工作的就業。世界上很多國家看到了綠色產業蘊藏的巨大就業潛力，紛紛采取措施，開發綠色項目，刺激綠色消費，以創造更多的就業崗位。

A green job emerged and developed from green economy, which refers to work that is relevant to green economic activities.The industrial structure as well as the technologies, techniques and organization mode during production of green economy are “greened”.Green job adopts green technologies, techniques and raw materials to produce green products, offer green services and provide jobs in the environmental and ecological protection.Many countries in the world notice the huge employment potential of green economy and take measures in succession to develop green projects and stimulate green consumption so that more jobs will be created.Topic 43 中國家庭結構的變化

改革開放以來，中國社會的家庭結構發生了巨大的變化。越來越多的傳統大家庭模式被以核心家庭為主的多樣化的小家庭模式所取代。與此相一致的是，越來越多的以父輩為權威的大家庭讓位于以子女，特別是獨生子女(only child)為中心的小家庭制度。人口老齡化(population aging)進程的加速與家庭制度的演變使養老問題的嚴峻性愈加凸顯。大眾傳媒和各種娛樂設施極大地轉移和豐富了人們的生活內容，人們已經不再把家庭作為唯一的娛樂場所。

The family structure in Chinese society has been undergoing dramatic changes since the reform and opening-up.More and more traditional extended families have been replaced by various small household patterns, especially nuclear families.Correspondingly, more and more extended families with the elders as authorities are giving place to smaller families with children, especially the only children, as the centers.The changes of family patterns, along with the acceleration of population aging, make the provision for the aged a increasingly severe problem.Mass media and various recreation facilities greatly distract people and enrich their life, so that families are no longer the only place to enjoy themselves.Topic 44 互聯網

網上交流活躍是中國互聯網發展的一大特點，論壇帖文(forum post)、博客文章數量之大，在世界各國都是難以想象的。中國的網站十分注重為網民(netizen)提供發表言論的服務，約80%的網站提供電子公告服務(Bulletin Board Service)。據抽樣調查，每天人們通過論壇、新聞評論、博客等渠道發表的言論達300多萬條，超過66%的中國網民經常在網上發表言論，就各種話題進行討論，充分表達思想觀點和利益訴求。中國網民踴躍參與網上信息傳播和網上內容創造，大大豐富了互聯網上的信息內容。

Vigorous online interaction is a major characteristic of China’s Internet development, and the huge quantity of forum posts and blog articles is far beyond that of other countries.China’s websites attach great importance to providing netizens with opinion expression services, among which about 80% provide Bulletin Board Service.According to a sample survey, each day people post over three million messages via forums, news commentary sites, blogs, etc., and over 66%of Chinese netizens frequently post topics on various subjects to fully express their opinions and interests.Chinese netizens actively participate in online information communication and production, greatly enriching Internet contents.Topic 45 網上銀行

網上銀行擁有許多優勢。網上銀行從不關門，每天24小時、每周 7天全天候營業，而且只需輕點鼠標即可完成交易。當你的財務發生問題，而你附近又沒有營業廳或自動取款機時，你可以馬上登陸網上銀行來處理你的財務。網上銀行處理并確認交易的速度通常達到或者超過了自動取款機的運行速度。網上銀行現在還提供賬目總計、股票報價等先進的工具，以幫助你更有效地理財。

Online banking has a lot of advantages.It never closes, offering services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and all you need to do is just a slight click of the mouse.If your nearby banks or ATMs are not available when financial problems arise, you can immediately log on to your online banking and cope with your business.In terms of the speed of the execution and confirmation of transactions, online banking is generally no slower than ATMs.Online banking now offers advanced tools, including account aggregation, stock quotes and so on to help you manage your assets more effectively.Topic 46 環境保護

當今世界，環境保護已經成為各國政府和各界人士共同關心的問題。過去10 年，海平面上升和森林砍伐的速度都是前所未有的；生態惡化、物種滅絕(extinction)、溫室效應等一系列環境問題已經嚴重影響到人類的生存環境和健康。中國作為一個發展中國家，面臨著發展經濟與保護環境的雙重任務。從國情出發，中國在全面推進現代化(modernization)的過程中，將環境保護視為一項基本國策，并在全國范圍內開展污染防治工作和生態環境保護活動。

Nowadays, environmental protection has become an issue that the governments of all countries and people from all walks of life commonly care about.During the past ten years, the speed of sea level rise and deforestation has been unprecedented while a series of environmental problems, such as deterioration of ecosystem, extinction of bio-species, and the greenhouse effect, have posed a serious threat to human living conditions and health.As a developing country, China is confronted with the dual task of developing the economy and protecting the environment.Based on its national conditions, China has, in the process of promoting overall modernization, made environmental protection one of its basic state policies, and carried out nationwide campaigns of pollution prevention and treatment as well as ecology and environment protection.Topic 47 老齡化

聯合國(United Nations)標準規定，當一個地區65歲及以上的老人占總人口的7%時，該地區就被視為進入老齡化社會(aging society)。老齡化會對國家財政造成巨大的影響，但老齡化的影響并不止于此。在老齡化社會里，勞動力市場、儲蓄方式以及人口流動都會發生變化。中國社會保障制度并不健全，大多數老年人都依靠子女贍養。小家庭的增多和傳統價值觀的缺失都會使老齡化問題更加嚴重，從而對中小家庭造成沉重負擔。

According to the standard of the United Nations, a society is considered an aging society when the proportion of people aged 65 and above is more than 7%.The impacts of aging society on state finance are huge.However, the impacts are much wider.In an aging society, labor markets, saving patterns and migration movements will change.Social security system in China is weak, and most of the elderly are supported by their children.Declining family size and the erosion of traditional values magnify the challenge, which places a heavy burden on small and middle sized households.Topic 48 婦女地位

在中國，婦女占了大約一半的人口，常被稱為“半邊天”(“Half the Sky”)。在過去的幾十年里，中國婦女的社會地位經歷了歷史性的變化。社會主義社會不僅從法律上確立了男女平等，而且采取了經濟手段來幫助婦女獲得平等地位，縮小男女之間的社會差距。婦女在社會各界發揮著巨大的作用。但是，不平等現象仍然存在。比如，男女就業機會方面不平等，入學機會方面不平等，在某些農村地區，婦女生了女孩兒還會受到歧視。

In China, women account for nearly half the total population of the country and are often called “Half the Sky”.Over the past decades, the social status of Chinese women has experienced historic changes.The socialist society has not only established legal equality between men and women, but also adopted economic means to help women achieve gender equality and narrow the social gap between men and women.Women are playing an important role in all fields of life.However, inequality still exists.For example, men and women are unequal in the opportunity for employment and enrollment in schools.In some rural areas, women will be discriminated by others if they give birth to a female baby.Topic 49 非物質文化遺產

保護和弘揚先人創造的優秀非物質文化遺產(intangible cultural heritage)，是全民族的共同責任，也是中國文化產業發展的重點。非物質文化遺產是中華傳統文明的一部分，凝聚著中華民族文化的精華。截至2013 年底，我國已有38個項目列入聯合國“人類非物質文化遺產代表作名錄”，居世界第一。根據文化部公布的信息，我國共有87萬個非遺項目，可以說歷史有多悠久，民間藝術就有多悠久；文化有多燦爛，民間藝術就有多燦爛；生活有多美好，民間藝術就有多美好。

Protecting and promoting the excellent intangible cultural heritage created by our ancestors is the common responsibility of the whole Chinese nation and the emphasis of the development of China’s culture industry.Chinese intangible cultural heritage is a part of the traditional Chinese civilization, condensing the essence of Chinese national culture.By the end of 2013, China has 38projects listed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists, ranking first in the world.According to the information released by the Ministry of Culture, there are 870 thousand intangible cultural projects in China.In a manner of speaking, the longer the history is, the more could be;the better the life is, the more beautiful the folk arts could be.Topic 50 自主創業

自主創業(self-employed)的好處之一是盈利歸自己所有，利潤是對自己努力、能力和創造力的回報。自主創業的第二個好處是個人才智和能力能直接反映在收入上。自主創業的第三個優勢是自己做老板能夠控制自己的工作時間。但是創業并不是一帆風順(go smoothly)的事。首先，做自己的老板把責任直接放到了個人的肩上。其次，自己做老板時，一單成功的生意可能會帶來很大的盈利，而一單失敗的生意可能會造成破產。第三個弊端是沒有穩定的工資，收入浮動很大。

One of the advantages of being self-employed is that the profits that the business makes belong to the owner.The profits earned are the reward for the owner s effort, competence and creativity.Another advantage is that a person’s earnings directly reflect his intelligence and abilities.The third advantage of being self-employed is that a person as the boss can control his working hours.However, being self-employed does not always go smoothly.First, being one’s own boss means placing the responsibility directly on that individual’s shoulders.Second, though the self-employed can earn considerable profits with a successful business, losses can force them out of business.The third disadvantage is that self-employed people have no stable wage and their Earnings can vary greatly.

第五篇：六級翻譯真題及答案

在未來幾年，中國將著力增加職業學院的招生人數：除了關注高等教育外，還將尋找新的突破以確保教育制度更加公平。中國正在努力最佳地利用教育資源，這樣農村和欠發達地區將獲得更多的支持。

教育部還決定改善欠發達地區學生的營養，并為外來務工人員的子女提供在城市接受教育的同等機會。

譯文一

譯文二

China will strive to ensure that employees should received an average of 13.3 years of education by 2015.If this goal can be achieved, the majority of people who enter the labor market will be required to obtain a college degree in the future.Over the next few years, China will focus on increasing college enrollment: apart from attaching importance to the higher education system, China will also seek new breakthroughs to pursue a fairer educational system.China is making efforts to optimize the use of educational resources so that rural and less developed areas will receive more support.The Ministry of Education also decides to improve student nutrition in underdeveloped regions, and to offer equal education opportunities for children of migrant workers in the city.
