Exercise 1
China lies in the east of Asia.it is a country which has the most population in the world.China is one of the four countries in the world with an ancient civilization.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 skies like swords.Besides, it contains historic remains of glorious Chinese antiquity.All these make China a singularly attractive place to tourists around the world.But, most importantly, China is possessed of 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 of all these attractions in China, a much-admired dream land.Exercise 2
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 and Taoism, 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”.From Confucius to Dr.Sun Yat-sen, the traditional Chinese culture presents many precious ideas and 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 “the people are more important than the monarch”;the code of conduct of “Don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you”.Exercise 3
Compared with people in most other Chinese cities, people in Guangzhou have quite high average income, and the number of well-to-do families in Guangzhou has been rising steadily.For this reason, it is very common for Guangzhou residents to eat out.Restaurants in the city are congested with diners all day round, as the people in Guangzhou seem to be keener on having good food than those in any other parts of the country.The locals like to have their “morning tea” in restaurants, where a large variety of dim sum is served from carts wheeled from table to table.Early on Sunday mornings, a lot of people in Guangzhou are up since 7 o’clock and are already chatting with friends over tea and breakfast in various restaurants.They even brought this habit with them when they went overseas.Exercise 4
Despite its small size and moderate intensity, ping-pong is a sport that emphasizes endurance第48頁
and reflexes.People of all ages and genders can play it on an equal ground.The sport is played indoors, so year-round competition and practice are possible.Ping-pong has undergone enormous evolution since it came into being, which has experienced many revisions of rules and seen an improvement of equipment as technology and playing styles changed.Such refinement only serves as evidence that ping-pong is indeed a full-fledged sport;comparable to any of the other classics we behold with reverence.Exercise 5
Tsinghua University is regarded as one of the most renowned and most selective universities in China.The campus of Tsinghua University is situated in northwest Beijing, in Haidian District which is designated for universities.It is located on the former site of Qing Dynasty royal gardens and retains some Chinese-style landscapes as well as some traditional buildings, but many of its buildings are Western-style reflecting the American influence on its history.With one of the most beautiful campuses and the best engineering and applied science programs in China, it attracts the most talented students of the nation and occupies a position similar to Berkeley, MIT, and Stanford University in the US.Exercise 6
Before the compass was invented, most people identified the direction at sea, only depending upon the position of the sun and stars.If it was cloudy or rainy, people would lose the direction in this way.It was the compass, invented by the Chinese people, that solved this problem.The compass is the instrument used for indicating direction.As early as the Warring States Period(475 BC-221 BC), the Chinese discovered that a magnet could be applied to indicate the south and north, and a direction-indicating instrument sinan was made on the basis of this feature.In the Song Dynasty, people created a proper compass called luopan.The invention of the compass had an epoch-making influence on navigation, thereby opening up a new era in the history of international navigation.Exercise 7
The Tang Dynasty witnessed a peak in Chinese culture.Especially for ancient poetry, it had its flowering in the Tang Dynasty.In more than 300 years of history in the Tang Dynasty, some 48900 poems were handed down and remain widely known today.So many works also made more than 2300 poets famous in history.As far as the writing technique is concerned, the Tang poetry combined realism and romanticism.In form, poetry of the Tang Dynasty contained four-line and eight-line verse with five or seven characters in each line.Moreover, “modern style” poetry, which is regular and polished, also appeared in the Tang Dynasty.The best-known poets of the Tang Dynasty were Li Bai and Du Fu, who are very prestigious in the whole world.Therefore, people of later generations have praised both of them as “Li Du” collaboratively.Exercise 8
The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987.Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 6,700 kilometers from east to west of China.The Ming Wall is the solidest and most complete one compared with walls in other dynasties.The Ming Dynasty drew the experience from the previous dynasties when they built the wall.More important military fortifications were added on the wall.In flat areas, outside the wall, wide moats were dug to make approach difficult.As we all know, the Great Wall is the treasure of China.It embodies the great systems of defense created during the time of the wars;moreover it indicates a great achievement in the history of architecture.Exercise 9
Westerners have linked the country of China with porcelain since a long time ago, because the technique of manufacturing porcelain was originally invented in China.Porcelain was developed on the basis of pottery.If calculated from the appearance of the primitive porcelain in the Shang Dynasty, it has a history of about 3000 years.The techniques of manufacturing porcelain have developed rapidly since the Eastern Han Dynasty.Famous kilns producing porcelain products with unique features and new pottery and porcelain varieties constantly came forth in subsequent dynasties.Chinese porcelain wares are not only daily handy necessities, but also precious arts and crafts.From the Han and Tang dynasties, Chinese porcelain wares and their manufacturing techniques gradually spread all over the world.Today, China continues to create new varieties of precious porcelain.Exercise 10
Beijing Opera is the most popular and influential opera in China with a history of almost 200 years.In the course of its formation, it assimilated the best from many other local operas and was affected by Beijing local dialect and customs.Though Beijing Opera originated from Beijing, it is not a localized opera exclusive to Beijing only.What are staged today are primarily three types, namely, traditional Beijing Operas, newly composed historical ones and modern ones.Beijing Opera, as the national opera, enjoys a high reputation both inside and outside China.Many famous opera actors and actresses have frequently been invited to perform abroad and have been highly appreciated by foreign audiences.Exercise 11
The 15th day of the eighth lunar month is China’s traditional Mid-Autumn Festival.On that day, the Chinese have the custom of admiring the moon and eating moon cakes.In autumn, it is fine and cool;with few floating clouds in the sky and the moon at night seems particularly bright.This is especially true on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month.Since people consider the full moon as the symbol of reunion and satisfaction, the festival is also called the Festival for Reunion On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family will sit together to admire the moon and eat moon cakes, filled with happiness for the bumper harvest and a family reunion.At that time, people far away from hometown will also look up at the moon and miss their hometown and
family.Exercise 12
Siheyuan is the most important form of Chinese traditional residential house.It is great in number and wide in distribution, popular among the Han, Manchu, Bai, and some of other minority groups.Most of the houses are of wood framework.The principal room is built on the south-north axis, and two wing rooms are located on both sides of it.The family elders live in the principal room and wings are the bedrooms for the younger generations.Women live in the inner yard.Guests and male servants live in the outer yard.This distribution is in accordance with the feudal regulations.Siheyuan spreads over towns and villages throughout China, but each developed its own characteristics as a result of respective natural conditions and different ways of life.Siheyuan in Beijing is the most representative.Exercise 13
Dragon dance is a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture.It originated during the Han Dynasty and was started by the Chinese who had shown great belief and respect towards the dragon.It is believed to have begun as part of the farming and harvest culture, also with origins as a method of healing and preventing sickness.The dragon dance was already a popular event during the Song Dynasty.Dragon dance is an important part of the Chinese culture and tradition.It has spread throughout China and to the whole world and become a special performance of arts in the Chinese physical activities.It symbolises good luck and prosperity in the year to come for all the human beings on earth.Exercise 14
The Chinese Knot is an ancient art form and the artifacts could be found as far back as 100 000 years ago.Chinese people used knots for more than just fastening, wrapping, hunting, and fishing.Knots were also used to record events, and some knots had purely ornamental functions.The Chinese Knot has cultural connotations.Since knot is pronounced as “jie” in Chinese similar with that of “Ji’, which means blessing, good salary, longevity, happiness, fortune, safety and health and is the everlasting pursuit of Chinese people, some Chinese Knots express people’s various hopes.For example, the room of newlyweds is usually decorated with a Pan-Chang Knot to symbolize eternal love.Exercise 15

第二篇:六級翻譯
時光的唯一作用就在于它篩出了糟粕,因為只有真正優秀的文學作品才能存留下來。那些杰出的偉人不會從這個世界消失,它們的靈魂保存在書本里,云游四方。書是活的聲音,它所包含的智慧今人依然聆聽。因此,我們依然時刻受到過去偉人的影響。那些世界巨匠像過去一樣活在人世間。
The only effect of time has been to sift out the bad products;for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.The great and good do not die from this world.Embalmed in books,their spirits walk abroad.The book is a living voice.It is an intellect to which one still listens.The great and the good will be always remembered as time goes by.書籍具有不朽的精神,他們是迄今為止人類所創造持續最久的產品。宇宙會損壞,塑像會頹廢,但是書籍卻能常存人間。對于思想而言,時間并不重要,它們今天讓然能同多年前第一次在作者的頭腦中剛剛產生時那樣鮮活。當年的話語和思想如今依然通過書本在向我們生動的述說。
Books possess the essence of immortality.They are by far the most lasting products of human effort.The universe can be damaged,temples and statues decay,but books survive.Time is of no account with great thoughts,which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's minds ages ago.What was then said an thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page.老年為少年之過來人,少年為老年之候補者,老與少,只不過時間上之差別而已。然中國習慣,對老少之間,往往劃有無形界限。在客觀上,有時重老而輕少,有時重少而輕老。在主觀上,老者自恃其老,少年自矜其少。幾千年來,遂形成老者自以為持重練達而菲薄少年為少不更事;而少年自以為新銳精進而輕蔑老者為老朽昏庸。此真所謂偏頗兩失之見也。Old Age and Young The aged are the antecedents of the young, and the young are the candidates of the aged.The difference between age and youth is only a matter of time.But, according to the Chinese custom, there is always an invisible line of demarcation between them.Objectively speaking,sometimes the aged are held in esteem and the young are made light of;sometimes it is just the other way round.Subjectively speaking, the aged are self-conceited because of their good old age, while the young think no small beer of their own youth.For thousands of years it has been assumed that the aged, thinking themselves experienced and more skillful, look down upon the young for their greenness in worldly affairs, while the young, thinking themselves fresh in life and more energetic, call the aged old fogies.Either of these views, of course, is far from being impartial.《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,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 diverse 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 individuality.They may feel inspired and enlightened, and hence love it, or they may feel hurt, and hence loathe it.In short, there actions vary.一個好青年必須身體健康。無論從事什么行業,健康的身體才是成功的基礎。它使我們能夠努力工作,堅定不移;使我能夠奮斗,堅持下去。除此之外,我們更能適應當前的工作,能為成功而奮斗,能夠忍受艱苦,能夠報效國家。一個好青年必須培養良好,高尚的品格。很多學問淵博的人誤入歧途。他們對社會甚至對國家的破壞大于貢獻。他們只追求自己的利益,而不知道道德為何物。這個觀點看來,“德行”對一個優秀青年更為重要。對于一個好青年來說,學問是自己的事,不能依靠別人。
A good young man must have a healthy body condition.No matter what kind of job you engaged in,a healthy body is the base of success.It makes us work hard and unswervingly;it makes us endeavor and insist.Besides these,we can adapt to the present job better,fight for the success,bear the hardships and serve our country.A good young man must cultivate a fine and lofty character..Many learned people go astray and the harm they have done to the society or even the country exceeds his dedication.They only chased after their personal interests without knowing what the morality is.From this point of view,“morality”is more important to an excellent young man.To a good young man,knowledge is his own business,and he can not depend on others.九寨溝的山水風光,縱有萬麗千奇,一旦離開原始的自然美,就一切都沒有了。”他們的見解是精辟的。當你步入溝中,便可見樹正群海蕩漾生輝,瀑布舒灑碧玉。一到金秋,滿山楓葉絳紅。盛夏,湖山幽翠。仲春,樹綠花艷?四時都呈現出它的天然原始,寧靜幽深。All the beauty of Jiuzhaigou is endowed by nature.If the natural charm were removed, there would be no more of Jiuzhaigou.Mystic lakes and sparkling waterfalls captivate your eyes as you enter the ravine.The trees are their greenest in spring when intensified by colorful flowers.In summer, warm tints spread over the hills and lake lands.As summer merges into autumn, the maple trees turn fiery-red, splashing color through the thickly forested hills.Tranquility pervades primitive Jiuzhaigou throughout the year.近代以來,亞洲經歷了曲折和艱難的發展歷程。亞洲人們為改變自己的命運,始終以不屈的意志和艱辛的奮斗開辟前進道路。今天,人們所看到的亞洲發展成就,是勤勞智慧的亞洲人民不屈不撓、鍥而不舍奮斗的結果。
亞洲人民深知,世界上沒有放之四海而皆準的發展模式,也沒有一成不變的發展道路,亞洲人民勇于變革創新,不斷開拓進取,探索和開辟適應時代潮流,符合自身實際的發展道路,為經濟社會發展打開了廣闊前景。
In modern times, Asia experienced twists and turns in its development.To change their destiny,the people of Asia have been forging ahead in an indomitable spirit and with hard struggle.Asia's development achievements today are the result of the persistent efforts of the industrious and talented Asian people.The people of Asia are fully aware that there is no ready model or unchanging
path of development that is universally applicable.They never shy away from reform and innovation.Instead, they are committed to exploring and finding development paths that are in line with the trend of the times and their own situations, and have opened up bright prospects for economic and social development.截至2003年12月,歐盟15個成員國來華投資項目數已達16158個,合同外資金額約650億美元,實際投入378億美元。與此同時,中國的一些大企業如聯想、海爾、華為、TCL等,也開始在歐盟投資設廠或成立營銷、研發中心。歐盟還一直是中國引進先進技術和設備的重要來源。中國與歐盟在先進技術,尤其是高科技產品方面的合作有助于歐盟擴大對華出口,也有利于中國企業產業升級、技術更新,符合雙方利益,具有很大的發展空間。
By the end of December 2003, the 15 members of the EU had altogether invested in 16,158 projects in China with the contractual investment worth of US$ 65 billion and with the actually utilized investment ofUS$ 37.8 billion.At the same time, some of China's big companies like Lenovo, Haier, Huawei Technologyand TCL have started to make investment in the EU member states to establish plants or marketing, R centers.The EU has always been an important source of technology and equipment import for China.The Sino-EU cooperation in the field of advanced technologies,especially the new and high-tech products, helps expand the EU export to China and also helps Chinese enterprises upgrade their industries, renovate their technologies.All these are in the interests of both sides and have considerable space for further growth.盡管全球大量的電子產品和鞋等都是中國制造,但這些產品的設計都是在歐美或日本完成的。中國公司制造自己品牌的產品時,通常是模仿國外。但如今不同了,他們都想開創自己的品牌。隨著中國公司在設計上的改進,跨國公司意識到,他們的產品需要專門針對中國消費者的品味進行“量身定做”了。這些使中國設計產業開始繁榮起來。
Although large numbers of global electronic products and shoes are made in China,the design of these products are finished by Europe and America of Japan.In the past,the Chinese companies usually imitated foreign countries when producing their own brand products.But nowadays it is all different.They want to create their own brand.Along with the design improvement of the Chinese companies,the multination companies realize that their product need to be “tailored”to be the taste of Chinese consumers.All of these make the Chinese design industry become prosperous.我們的現代化建設,必須從中國的實際出發。無論是革命還是建設,都要注意學習和借鑒外國經驗。但是,照抄照搬別國經驗、別國模式,從來不能得到成功。這方面我們有過教訓。把馬克思主義的普遍真理同我國的具體實際結合起來,走自己的道路,建設有中國特色的社會主義,這就是我們總結長期歷史經驗得出的基本結論。
Our country's modernization must start from the reality of China.Either on the revolution of the construction we need to learn and draw the experience from the foreign countries.But we will never win the success if we mechanically copy other countries' experience or formats.We have already had the lesson in this aspect.It is the basic conclusion which we summarized the long-term historical experience that we should combine the Marxism's universal truth with out specific situation together,walking on our own roads and building up the socialism with Chineseaharacteristic.

上海自貿試驗區,稱之為“pilot free trade zone”(簡寫pilot FTZ)。其中“pilot”一詞為“試驗”之義。商務部的英文頁面在發布相關信息時,也曾有“China(Shanghai)Pilot FTZ”的表述
“一帶一路(One Belt and One Road)”是指“絲綢之路經濟帶(the Silk Road Economic Belt)”和“21世紀海上絲綢之路(the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road)”。總書記在去年9月和10月分別提出建設“一帶”和“一路”的戰略構想,強調相關各國要打造互利共贏的“利益共同體(benefit community)”和共同發展繁榮的“命運共同體(fate community)”。
“一帶一路”是習近平擔任中國最高領導人之后提出的重要國際性合作倡議(international cooperation initiative)之一。“一帶一路”的建設,順應了全球化趨勢和各國抱團取暖、共同合作的愿望,有著良好的發展前景。此次APEC北京峰會還將討論啟動亞太自由貿易區(the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific),一旦與“一帶一路”成功對接,將史無前例地將北美、西歐、東亞這三大世界經濟中心連為一體,塑造世界地緣經濟(geo-economy)的新格局。
另一個熱門辭匯是習近平說的“老虎蒼蠅一起打”,外媒直譯成“Hunting Tigers and Flies”。
外媒報道中國的熱門辭匯是:“中國經濟新常態”譯為“China's New Normal”;“一帶一路”譯為“The Belt and Road Initiatives”;

復雜 complexity 參考譯文:
A Dream of Red Mansions is attributed to Cao Xueqin and Gao-E.The author chose Jia Clan as the focus, depicting how an affluent and influential family with prestige lost its favor and descended to crash.In the novel, about 100 classic characters are successfully portrayed.These characters concern people of all ranks in the Qing Dynasty.A Dream of Red Mansions is a remarkable story about Chinese feudal society.To understand Chinese values in all its complexity, one can do no better than to read A Dream of Red Mansions.“It is not only a love story, but also a history story, because it describes the success and failure of the feudal period,” said Chairman Mao.翻譯原文:
最近,一些地方大學開始將方言列為某些學生的必修課程,學生們要學習當地方言,然后被評分以作為畢業的依據之一。一方面,支持此種做法的人認為,將方言列為必修課可防止其消失,從而使當地傳統文化和文化多樣性得以弘揚,同時城市獨特的個性得以保留。另一方面,反對此種做法的人爭論說,當地學生與外地學生相比有很多絕對優勢,因此將方言列為必修課會引起教育不公平的問題。而且,將方言列為必修課程還會引起一些其他問題,如教材使用、師資問題和考試標準等。在我看來,方言作為傳統文化不可缺少的一部分和一種交流工具,可以讓學生自愿學習和使用,而不是強制完成。

學習acquire 參考譯文:
Recently, it has been practiced by some local universities that dialect is made a compulsory course for some students, under which students are subject to learning the local dialect and then graded as one of the judging factors for them to graduate.On the one hand, people approving the practice maintain that it will help to prevent the dialect from extinguishing so that the local traditional culture and the cultural diversity can be enhanced, and the unique urban identity can be preserved simultaneously.On the other hand, people in opposition to the practice contend that it will give rise to the appearance of educational inequality, for the local students will enjoy absolute advantages over those from other places.Moreover, the inclusion of dialect in compulsory courses will bring forth other problems like teaching material, teachers and examination standards.As far as I am concerned, dialects, as an indispensable part of local traditional culture as well as a tool for communication, can be acquired and used voluntarily, not compulsorily.翻譯原文:
選秀(draft),指選拔在某方面表現優秀的人。中國自古就有,古代選秀一般是宮廷選秀。從2004年《超級女聲》開始,大眾選秀節目開始進入我們的視線,這類幾乎“零門檻(zero of threshold)”的選秀活動讓所有人都有機會成為明星。之后的《好男兒》、《快樂男聲》、《我型我秀》還有《中國好聲音》等等選秀活動一一登場,幾乎一刻都沒有讓中國的電視觀眾閑著。通過這些選秀活動,很多有才能的 “平民百姓”實現了自己的夢想,走上了星光大道(avenue of stars)。
參考譯文:
A draft refers to a procedure during which people who perform well in a certain aspect are picked out.In ancient China, there were also drafts which generally referred to court drafts.From the year 2004 when Super Girl was on, talent show programs began to come into our sight.Such kind of nearly“zero threshold”talent show offers everyone an opportunity to become popular.Later,there came MyHero, Super Boy, My Show and The Voice of China.As these talent show programs appeared oneby one,Chinese TV audience hardly had time to rest.Through these talent show programs, man ytalented “ordinary people”realized their dreams and stepped on the avenue of stars.翻譯原文:

The Imperial Palace, also called the Forbidden City was the palace where the 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled China for roughly 500 years.The Imperial Palace is located in the center of Beijing, on the northern side of Tian’anmen Square, rectangular in shape, 960 meters from north to south and 750 meters wide from east to west, with an area of 72 hectares and a total floor space of 150 000 square meters.It’s the world’s largest and most integral palace made of wood in existence.The Forbidden City is divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court.The outer court was the place where the emperors gave audience and handled state affairs, while the inner court was the living quarters for the emperors and their families.In 1987 the Imperial Palace was listed by the UNESCO as one of the World Cultural Heritage sites.廟會(temple fair)是中國的一種傳統民俗活動。有傳說認為,廟會源于古人祭祀土地神(village god),后來漸漸演變成商品交易市場和文化表演場所。廟會通常在廟里或寺廟附近的露天場地舉行,時間常在節日或特定的日子。有些廟會只在春節舉行。盡管不同地區的廟會時間不同,但是內容相似。農民和商人出售自己的農產品、玉器、花鳥魚蟲等;工匠擺攤展示并出售手工藝品;民間藝術家搭建舞臺表演歌舞;普通民眾來廟會購買商品、觀看表演以及品嘗特色小吃。

The temple fair is a traditional folk activity in China.Legend has it that it originated in ancient times when people offered sacrifices to the village god, which later gradually evolved into a marketplace for people to exchange products and a place for cultural performance.The temple fairs, usually on the open ground or near a temple, are held on festivals or specified days.Some are held only during the Spring Festival.Although different places hold their temple fairs on various dates, the contents are similar.Farmers and merchants sell their farm produce, jade articles, flowers, birds and fish, etc.;craftsmen set up their stalls to show and sell their handicrafts;folk artists establish a stage for singing and dancing;ordinary people come to the temple fair to buy goods, watch the performances and eat special snacks.網上炫富

Displaying Wealth Online
Nowadays, it is not rare to see people displaying their wealth on the Internet.Some post pictures of luxury goods, such as brand clothes and bags, luxurious automobiles or jewelries.Some write about their experiences in which a lot of money is spent.People have different responses to this phenomenon.Some say that it is people’s right to share their possessions or experiences with others on the Internet, as long as the things are legal and the experiences real.However, some criticize that the rich people are too arrogant.What’s worse, there are also a few who are not actually rich but put fake photos only to satisfy their vanity.In my opinion, sharing is a good thing, and it is exactly the spirit of the Internet.But people should make careful choice on what they are sharing.After all, showing off is not very nice, not to mention faking.

第五篇:六級翻譯
(一)《孫子兵法》(The Art of War)是中國古代最重要的一部軍事著作之一,是我國優秀傳統文化重要組成部分。孫子(Sun Tzu),即該書作者,在書中揭示的一系列具有普遍意義的軍事規律,不僅受到軍事家們的推崇,還在經濟領域,領導藝術,人生追求甚至家庭關系等諸多方面,均有廣泛的指導作用。《孫子兵法》中許多名言警句(epigram),富有哲理,意義深遠,在國內外廣為流傳。如今《孫子兵法》中的語言,在世界軍事史上具有重要地位。
譯點精析:
1、普遍意義的——universal,軍事規律——military laws
2、具有廣泛的指導作用——play an extensive guiding role.“廣泛的”還可以翻譯為far-reaching或broad
3、人生追求——the pursuit of life
4、名言警句——famous sayings and epigrams5、意義深遠——have profound meanings
6、廣為流傳—— be widely circulated。”流傳“還可用spread表示
參考譯文:The Are of War is one of the most important ancient Chinese military literary works,and serves as an important part of outstanding traditional culture in China.Sun Tzu,The author of the book,revealed a series of universal military laws which are not only valued by militarists but also play an extensive guiding role in several fields such as economy,art of leadership,the pursuit of life and even family relationship.There are a lot of famous sayings and epigrams in The Art of War that are rich in wisdom and have profound meanings and are thus widely circulated both at home and abroad.Nowadays The Art of War has been translated into many languages and it also plays an important role in the military history of the world.(二)太極(Tai Chi)是中國文化史上的一個重要概念。太極拳(traditional Chinese shadow boxing)包含一系列緩慢的動作,旨在修煉身心。它是一種舞蹈卻不需要隨音樂起舞,你只需聆聽內心的節奏。太極拳是中國武術(martial art)的一種,他創自數千年前,原本是一種自衛的技藝。全世界成千上萬人練習它,主要是由于它對人類健康的神奇作用。因為他將身體動作,平靜、冥想(meditative)心境結合起來,所以他長被稱作“冥想運動(meditation in motion)”。
【譯點精析】
修煉身心——physical and spiritual practice或者physical and mental practice。
不需要音樂起舞——dot no need to dance to music,其中dance...to固定表達,隨著...起舞
一種自衛技藝——a self-defensive skill,defensive 譯為防御的,防衛的。
它對人類健康的神奇作用——its miraculous effects on human’s health
將身體動作,平靜、冥想(meditative)心境結合起來——combines the body’s movements with the calm and meditative state of mind。將...與...結合起來可譯為combine...with...state of mind心境
【參考譯文】
Tai Chi is a significant notion in Chinese cultural history.Traditional Chinese shadow boxing includes a series of slow movements aiming at the physical and spiritual practice.It is a kind of dance but you do not need to dance to music.You just need to listen to the rhythm of your heart.Traditional Chinese shadow boxing is a kind of Chinese martial art.It was created thousands of years ago and originally used as a selfdefensive skill.It is practiced by thousands of people around the world mostly because of its miraculous effects on human’s health.It is often called “meditation in motion”because it combines the body’s movement-s with the calm and meditative state of mind.(三)電子書(e-book)通常指數字化出版物,它可以包含文字、圖片、聲音、影像或幾者兼有。現在人們經常使用智能手機(smartphone)、平板電腦(tablet)或者專門為電子書制造的電子閱讀器來閱讀電子書。電子書內容豐富,便于存儲,而且價格低廉,有助于閱讀的普及。從傳統意義上講,電子書是紙質書的電子化,但現在許多電子書并沒有紙質的對應物。電子書以數字形式存儲,因此人們隨時都可以閱讀。2012年,美國電子書的銷量首次超過精裝書(handcover book)。
[譯點精析]
1、數字化譯為digitized,而不是digital,是要強調動作概念。
2、專門為...制造譯為specially made for...3、閱讀的普及:the popularity of reading
4、版本的英文表達version,紙質書譯為printed books
5、紙質的對應物:”對應物“可譯為equivalent
6、超過:可用surpassed表示,還可以用exceed表示 沖刺備考建議
首先,在進行翻譯練習時,盡量力求翻譯答案多樣化,特別化。常用的簡單的表達方式盡量不要用了,選擇一些不常用的復雜一點的表達方式會讓我們的翻譯內容顯得更有水平。
其次,掌握重點核心表達,多背搭配,同時利用經典搭配多造句子,完善語法結構。這樣不僅可以擴展思維、開闊思路,同時可以提高自己的寫作水平。
最后,分析歷年真題,強化重點語法知識。如倒裝結構、虛擬語氣、比較結構、定語從句、狀語從句、非謂語動詞等。
翻譯原文:E-books generally refer to digitized publications.They can include words,pictures,sounds,images,or a combination of two or more.Now people often read e-books with smartphones,tablets,or e-books readers that are specially made for e-books.E-books have colorful contents and are convenient to store.Their prices are cheap and they are conductive to the popularity of reading.E-books are traditionally believed as an electronic version of the printed books.but now many e-books exist without any printed equivalent.E-books are stored digitally,so they can be read at any time.In 2012,e-books sales in the United States surpassed hardcover book sales for the first time.(四)孔子是中國著名的思想家,教育家,以及儒教(Confucianism)的創立者。他的學說深刻影響了中國兩千多年的歷史。孔子因其哲學家思想而著名,他在當時說過很多著名的言論。這些言論幫助人們認識自然,世界和人類行為。他也幫助過政府和帝王。孔子教他們如何成功管理自己的王國。孔子的言論主要收錄在《孔子論語》(Analects of Confucius)一書中。它們反映了孔子政治和道德觀。
Confucius is a famous ancient Chinese thinker ,educator ,and founder of Confucianism which deeply influences China for more than two years.Confucius is famous for his philosophy because he made many wise sayings in ancient China.Those sayings helped people learn about nature ,world ,and human behavior.He also helped the government and the emperor.He taught them lessons on how to rule his kingdom successfully.Confucius's thoughts were mainly collected in the Analects of Confucius.They relects Confucius's thoughts on politics and ethics.解析:
第二句的學說即是儒教,所以可以用定語從句將其與第一句連接起來。影響可以說influence,have an influence on···
Be famous for=be known for因···而著名。
Teach sb.Sth.教某人某事
(五)京劇(Peking Opera)已有200多年的歷史,是中國的國劇。與其他地方戲相比,京劇享有更高的聲譽,但其實京劇融合了多種地方戲的元素。京劇演員的臉譜(facial make-up)和戲服都很精美,相比之下舞臺布景則十分簡單,表演者主要應用四種技能:唱、念、做、打。京劇較擅長于表現歷史題材的政治,軍事斗爭,故事大多取自歷史演義和小說話本(historic and fictional stories)。在古代,京劇大多是在戶外演出的,因此演員們形成了一種有穿透力的唱腔,以便每個人都能聽到。
【譯點精析】
1,享有更高的聲譽——enjoys a higher reputation
2, 戲服——costume
3,相比之下——by contrast
4,舞臺布景——backdrop,如果不知道這個詞,也可以用background。
5,政治軍事斗爭——political and military struggle,斗爭還可譯為battle。
6,在戶外——in the open air或者outdoors。
7,形成可用develop表示,而不用shape或form。”有穿透力的“譯為piercing。唱腔乍看可能不好翻譯,其實就是歌唱的風格,即style of song。
【參考譯文】
Peking Opera,as the national opera of China,has a history of more than 200 years.Compared with other Chinese local operas,Peking Opera enjoys a higher reputation,but actually it absorbed many elements of other local operas.The facial make-up and costumes of the performers are very delicate;by contrast,the backdrops are quite plain.During performance,the performers mainly utilize four skills:song,speech,dance,and combat.Peking Opera is better at performing political and military struggle with historical themes and the performed stories are mainly from historic and fictional stories.In ancient times,Peking Opera was mostly performed in the open air,so the performers developed a piercing style of song that could be heard by everyone.自駕游(self-driving tour)屬于自助旅游的一種類型,是近年來我國新興的旅游方式,以自由、靈活、富有個性化等突出特點被旅游者接受和喜愛。自駕游在選擇目的地、參與旅程設計和體驗自由等方面,給旅游者提供了極大的靈活性,與傳統的參團旅游(group tour)相比更具有自身的特點和魅力。隨著自駕旅游者增多,自駕游市場已經成形,越來越多的旅行社、汽車俱樂部、汽車租賃公司(car rental companies)看好這個市場,并涉足這一市場的開發。
【譯點精析】
1、自助旅游——self-help travel/self-service travel
2、新興的旅游方式——a new travel mode/a new way of travel
3、自由、靈活、富有個性化等突出特點——striking characteristics of being free,flexible and personalized。striking——顯著的,突出的
4、提供了極大的靈活性——provides travelers with great flexibility5、目的地——target place/destination
6、看好這個市場,并涉足這一市場的開發——are optimistic about this market and get involved in the development of the market,其中“看好”——are optimistic about表示“對...持樂觀態度”“涉足”——get involved in
【參考譯文】
Self—driving tour,a sort of self—help travel,is a new travel mode in China in recent years.It has won traveler's acceptance and love for its striking characteristics of being free,flexible and personalized.It provides travelers with great flexibility in selecting target place,participating in devising travel procedures and experiencing freedom,which endows it with its own characteristics and charm compared with traditional group tour.As self—driving tourists increase,self—driving tour market has taken shape.More and more travel agencies,car clubs and car rental companies are optimistic about this market and get involved in the development of the market.頤和園是世界上保存最完整的皇家園林,也是當今中國最大的皇家園林。它坐落于北京西北部的郊區,占地290公頃,主要由萬壽山和昆明湖構成。在1998年12月,聯合國教科文組織(UNESCO)將頤和園列入《世界遺產名錄》。該名錄宣稱“頤和園的人工景觀與自然景觀和諧地融為一體,堪稱中國風景園林設計中的創造性杰作”。
The Summer Palace is regarded as the best-preserved imperial garden in the world,and is the largest of its kind in modern-day China.Situated in the northwestern outskirts of Beijing,the
palace occupies an area of 290 hectares and consists mainly of Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake.In December 1998 , UNESCO included the Summer Palace on its World Heritage List.It declared
the Summer Palace an“ outstanding expression of the creative art of Chinese Landscape Garden Design,incorporating the works of humankind and nature in a harmonious whole.”
漢語多重復,而英語則常常需要避免重復,因此在翻譯重復的漢語是,多采用桶詞異譯法,或者采用代詞來進行替代。該句中of its kind來翻譯重復的皇家園林。最后一句,對原文據需進行了調整,原文的兩個分句是因果關系,而譯文采用了伴隨性定語從句來翻譯。
