第二篇：短文翻譯

When we look at famous people, especially movie stars, their glamorous lives seem far removed from anything average people experience in their lives.Yet, a deep passion and commitment to their dream is a common thread that runs through each of their stories.Another common thread many of them share is using their celebrity and fame to focus attention and resources on the world’s citizens and populations.Indeed, they often exhibit, in differing ways, personality traits that deserve our admiration and applause.當(dāng)我們看到名人，尤其是電影明星時，他們迷人富有魅力的生活似乎遠(yuǎn)離任何普通人的生活經(jīng)歷。然而,激情和對夢想的承諾是一條主線,貫穿他們的每一個故事。他們共享的另一個常見的主線，是利用他們在世界范圍公民和人群中的名望和影響力資源。事實(shí)上,他們經(jīng)常在不同方面表現(xiàn)出的人格特質(zhì),都值得我們的欽佩和掌聲。

第三篇：短文翻譯精選

2、文公之時，宰臣上炙而發(fā)繞之。文公召宰人而譙之，曰：“女欲寡人之哽邪？

奚為以發(fā)繞炙？”宰人首再拜，請?jiān)唬骸俺加兴雷锶涸Z砥刀，利猶干將也。切

肉，肉斷而發(fā)不斷，臣之罪一也；援木而貫臠，而不見發(fā)，臣之罪二也；奉熾爐，炭燼赤紅，而炙熟而發(fā)不燒，臣之罪三也。堂下得微有疾臣者乎？”公曰：“善”。

第四篇：短文翻譯

2007 English-Chinese:

Good bye and good luck Scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constituents of matter, and the miracle of life.At the same time, today, the actions, and

inaction, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet.Globalization is making the world smaller, faster and richer.Still, 9/11, avian flu, and Iran remind us that a smaller, fatster world is not necessarily a safer world.Our world is bursting with knowledgeand I believe even more strongly todayand drifting above one of those three-dimensional

topographical maps architects use, the circling contour lines replaced by the terraced rice paddies that surround each high ridge.Nepails a small country, and from the windows of our plane floating eastward at 12,000 feet, one can see clearly the brilliant white mirage of the high

Himalayas thirty miles of the left window.Out the right window, the view is of three or four high terraced ridges giving sudden way to the plains of India beyond.Three were few roads visible below, mosttransportation in Nepal being by foot along ancient trails that connect and bind the country together.There is also a network of dirt airstrips, which was fortunate for me, as I had no time for the two-and-a-half week trek to my destination.I was no a flight to the local airport.飛機(jī)飛越尼泊爾上空時。你很容易天馬行空起來，假想自己很渺小----像只蝴蝶----在建筑師所使用的某個三維地形圖上方漂浮著，在這里，地形圖一圈圈的輪廓線變成了環(huán)繞高聳的山脊成階梯狀的稻田。尼泊爾是個小國。我們的飛機(jī)在12000英尺的高空向東飛去。從左邊的機(jī)窗望去，你能清晰地看到30英里開外的高聳的喜馬拉雅山的耀眼的白色蜃景。

靠右邊的機(jī)窗外是三、四條成梯狀的高聳山脊，再往遠(yuǎn)處突然之間成了印度平原。飛機(jī)下面看不這幾條公路。尼泊爾的交通方式以步行為主，人們沿著連接整個國家的古老小徑行走著。尼泊爾也有一個土筑的飛機(jī)場網(wǎng)絡(luò)，這對我來說很幸運(yùn)，因?yàn)槲覜]時間長途跋涉兩周半的時間到達(dá)我的目的地。我在飛往當(dāng)?shù)貦C(jī)場的飛機(jī)上。

2012年英語專八漢譯英題目

痛苦糾聚心中，眉心發(fā)燙發(fā)熱，胸口郁悶難展，胃里一股氣沖喉而上。院長說這孩子發(fā)育遲緩時，她更是心頭無緒，她在育生所待的房里來回踱步，這房里還有其他小孩，每人一張圍著柵欄的床，整個房間只有一扇窗，窗外樹影婆娑，就讓這孩子留下來吧，這里有善心的神父和修女，這里將來會擴(kuò)充為有醫(yī)療作用的看護(hù)中心，這是留住孩子最好的地方。這孩子是她的秘密，她將秘密留在這樹林掩映的建筑里。出處：臺灣作家蔡素芬《燭光盛宴》

參考譯文：Tortured by the pains gathering in her heart, she felt something was burning between her eyebrows.Her chest was brimmed with depression which was likely to run out of her throat at any moment.She could not think clearly any longer when the headmaster told her that the child suffered from developmental retardation.She strode up and down in the room where her child stayed with

other pals.There was only one window in the room, out of which some shady trees were whispering.“Just leave it here”, she told herself, “This is the best

choice by far, for there are kind priests and nuns in this place which may also be renovated into a Medicare center”.The child was her secret which would be kept in the buildings behind the woods.2012專八英譯漢真題及參考答案

But such policies seem instead to have created the conditions for even more

campus violence.Some college students who previously drank in bars and lounges

under the watchful supervision of bouncers(夜總會，就把等保安人員)（not to mention owners eager to keep their liquor licenses）now retreat to the sanctuary of their fraternity houses and apartments, where they no longer control their behavior their drinking.The boomerang effect has also played a role in attempts to reduce the availability of illicit drugs.During recent years, the federal

government has been quite successful in reducing the supply of street drugs.As fields are burned and contraband(違禁品)confiscated, the price of street drugs has skyrocketed to a point where cheap alternatives have begun to compete in the marketplace.Unfortunately, the cheap alternatives are even more harmful than the illicit drugs they replace.然而上述政策反而引發(fā)了更多的校園暴力。一些大學(xué)生先前在夜總會的酒吧買醉，處于保安人員嚴(yán)密的監(jiān)控之下(酒吧老板們?yōu)榱吮Ｗ∽约嘿u酒的牌照也不會允許過激的事情發(fā)生)?，F(xiàn)在，大學(xué)生們躲到他們互助會會所和公寓中酗酒,對自己飲酒的數(shù)量或行為都不再控制。政府在打擊非法毒品方面采取的措施同樣適得其反。近年來,聯(lián)邦政府已經(jīng)有效地抑制了街頭毒品買賣。警方搗毀了很多毒品種植地，沒收了違禁品，導(dǎo)致毒品的價格暴漲，那些便宜的替代品因此也有了競爭力。糟糕的是，那些便宜的替換品帶來的危害甚至比他們所替代的毒品更大。

第五篇：英語短文翻譯

Should I be allowed to make my own decisions?

Many teenagers have hobbies.But sometimes these hobbies can get in the way of schoolwork, and parents might worry about their child’s success at school.Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want.Do you agree?

Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star.He is on his school running team and has always wanted to be a professional athlete.However, his parents won’t allow him to train as much as he would like to.“Of course, we want to see Liu Yu achieve his dreams,” says Mr Liu, “and we know how much he loves running.That’s great, and my wife and I have watched him in every one of his races.We have nothing against running!But we do think that our son needs to be realistic.Now that he is getting older, he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t become a professional runner in the end.許多青年有他們自己的愛好。但這些愛好可能有時能在學(xué)習(xí)中用到，并且父母擔(dān)心他們的兒童在學(xué)校的表現(xiàn)。青少年應(yīng)該去做他們所喜愛的事情，您是否同意呢？

劉雨，從山東來的十五年男孩，是一個跑步明星。他是在他的學(xué)校田徑隊(duì)并且想當(dāng)一位專業(yè)運(yùn)動員。但是，他的父母不允許他訓(xùn)練?！爱?dāng)然，我們也希望劉雨實(shí)現(xiàn)他的夢想”，劉先生說，“并且我們也知道他多么熱愛跑步。那是美好的，并且我妻子和我計(jì)劃了他的未來。我們并沒有反對跑步!但我們認(rèn)為我們的兒子必須接受現(xiàn)實(shí)。因?yàn)樗麜兝?，他需要考慮以后發(fā)生什么，如果他在最后不能成為冠軍。
