Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET.(漢譯英)
生活就像一杯紅酒，熱愛生活的人會從其中品出無窮無盡的美妙。將它握在手中仔細觀察，它的暗紅色中有血的感覺，那正是生命的痕跡。抿一口留在口中回味，它的甘甜中有一絲苦澀，如人生一般復雜迷離。喝一口下肚，余香沁人心脾，讓人在終身受益。紅酒越陳越美味，生活越豐富越美好。當人生走向晚年，就如一瓶待開封的好酒，其色彩生活沉靜的，味道中充滿慷慨與智慧。
【譯文】Life is like a glass of wine, never ceasing to offer wonders to those who truly love it.Holding the glass I the hand, you will observe the dark red tainted with blood, which justly symbols the trace of life.Taking a sip and recollecting its aftertaste in the mouth, you will taste the sweetness mixed with a bit of bitterness, a taste as complicated and elusive as life is.Once you swallow the sip, the lingering aroma will refresh the heart and mind, leaving the drinker life-long benefits.How remarkably wine resembles life: the longer the wine ages, the mellower it may taste;the more you experience, the more life may reward you.Life, at its twilight, becomes a good wine waiting to be savored, calm and profound in its color yet full of generosity and wisdom in its flavor.
第三篇：英語專業八級作文
旅游高峰中國旅游景點是否該高收費
Nowadays, with the quick development of economy, we are embracing a tourism boom in China.More and more people want to spend their holidays in some famous tourism attractions and get themselves relaxed.Under this circumstance, whether the price of admission tickets in scenic spots should be charged high becomes a heated topic.In my opinion, the tickets price should be set at an affordable level for most of Chinese people and should not be too expensive, and the following are my reasons: First of all, all the natural and cultural tourism attractions are heritages which belong to the whole Chinese people, as a result, every citizen should have equal access to these spots.And affordable tickets price is a guarantee for this basic right.If the ticket price is too expensive, it actually means that the citizens who have lower income are deprived of their right to these places of interest.Secondly, tourism can make an important contribution to economic development, since tourism can create employment opportunities and boost the local economy.In this regard, affordable tickets price will help to attract more visitors and better finance the local economy as well as finance the protection of cultural and natural heritage.The last but not least, tourism helps to keep traditions alive and increase visitor appreciation of the natural and cultural heritage, which will give them a sense of national pride.Hence, affordable tickets price will provide this chance for most Chinese people instead of just the rich ones, and this is beneficial to the whole nation.All in all, affordable tickets price in scenic spots is beneficial to both the development of tourism and the development of local and national economy, and it is a wise decision to set the tickets price at an affordable level.

第五篇：1996年高等院校英語專業八級考試翻譯試題
1996年高等院校英語專業八級考試
C-E原文：
近讀報紙，對國內名片和請柬的議論頗多，于是想起客居巴黎時經常見到的法國人手中的名片和請柬，隨筆記下來，似乎不無借鑒之處。在巴黎，名目繁多的酒會，冷餐會是廣交朋友的好機會。在這種場合陌生人相識，如果是亞洲人，他們往往開口之前先畢恭畢敬地用雙手把自己的名片呈遞給對方，這好像是不可缺少的禮節。然而，法國人一般卻都不大主動遞送名片，雙方見面寒暄幾句，甚至海闊天空地聊一番也就各自走開，只有當雙方談話投機，希望繼續交往時，才會主動掏出名片。二話不說先遞名片反倒顯得有些勉強。
法國人的名片講究樸素大方，印制精美，但很少有鑲金邊兒的，閃光多彩的或帶香味的，名片上的字體纖細秀麗，本人的名字也不過分突出，整張紙片上空白很大，毫無擁擠不堪的感覺。
參考譯文：
Version 1:
In reading recent newspapers, I have come to find that people in China have become more and more interested in discussing name cards and invitation letters.This reminds me of the name cards and invitation1
letters of the French people that I saw when I was sojourning in Paris.In writing down those random reminiscences, I believe that they might provide some useful information for us to learn.The French tend to take extraordinary precaution in making their name cards, simple yet elegant.Exquisitely designed and printed, their name cards are seldom golden-framed, or colorfully shiny, or tinted with fragrant smells.The letters which appearing on their name cards tend to be diminutive but beautiful, not allowing the name of the card-bearer t be overly prominent / salient.The entire card leaves much empty space, imparting no sense of over-crowdedness.Version 2:
Recently, I find from newspapers that people at home are interested in cards, name and invitation alike.This reminds me of my experiences in Paris.Random as they may seem, I write them down.Perhaps, the French way of handling name cards and invitation cards provide some useful lessons for us.The French people’s name cards are simple but elegant.They are seldom golden-framed, colorfully shiny, or with fragrance.Words on the cards are very fine and beautiful, and the name of the bearer does not stand particularly out.Their cards leave much space, and incur no over-crowdedness whatsoever.Version 3:
In Paris, cocktail parties and buffet receptions of different kinds offer great opportunities for making friends.On such occasions, strangers may get to know each other.If they are Asians, they will, very respectfully and with both hands, present their calling cards to their interlocutors before any conversation starts.This seems to be the required courtesy on their part.The French, however, usually are not so ready with such a formality.Both sides will greet each other, and even chat casually about any topic and then excuse themselves.Only when they find they like each other and hope to further the relationship will they exchange cards.It will seem very unnatural to do so before any real conversation gets under way.E-C英譯漢
Four mouths before the Election Day, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters and reviewed an oversize calendar that marked the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign.It was the last Saturday in June and at ten o’clock in the morning the rest of the office was practically deserted.Even so, the men kept the door shut and drapes carefully drawn.The three principals and their two deputies had come form around the country for a critical
meeting.Their aim was to devise a strategy that would guarantee Ronald Reagan’s resounding reelection to a second term in the White House.It should have been easy.They were battle-tested veterans with long ties to Reagan and even longer ties to the Republican Party, men who understood presidential politics as well as any in the country.The backdrop of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with: America was at peace, and the nation’s economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession.Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed, with plenty of money for top-flight staff, travel, and television commercials.And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills.Reagan has succeeded more than any president since John F.Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America – a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller federal government.參考譯文：這應該不是件難事。這都是些跟著里根多年、久經沙場的老將，他們跟共和黨則有更深厚的淵源，是這個國家里最熟悉總統政治的人。競選的背景也很有利，也很多好消息可供炒作。例如，美國上下一片和平，美國經濟這一競選要素也在經過一段時間的衰退之后開始強勁反彈。此外，這次競選本身得到了慷慨資助，因此有充裕的資金用于組織一流的競選班子、支付巡回演講和電視廣告的費用。而最重要的一點是，他們的候選人是羅納德·里根，他可是位極具個人魅力和溝通技巧的總統。自約翰·F·肯尼迪總統以來，里根是最成功地勾勒出美國藍圖的總統：一個軍事力量復興、富有個人進取心、聯邦政府得以精簡的國家。
