第二篇：四六級中國文化翻譯

1.長城是人類創造的世界奇跡之一。如果你到了中國卻沒去過長城，就像到了巴黎沒有去看埃菲爾鐵塔，或者就像到了埃及沒有去看金字塔一樣。人們常說：“不到長城非好漢。”實際上，長城最初只是一些斷斷續續的城墻，直到秦朝統一中國后才將其連城長城。然而，今天我們看到的長城——東起山海關，西至嘉峪關——大部分都是在明代修建的。

The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that was created by human beings.If you come to China without climbing the Great Wall, it's just like going to Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower;or going to Egypt without paying a visit to the Pyramids.As it is often quoted by people, “He who doest not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.” In fact, it began as independent walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the “Great Wall” until the Qin Dynasty.However, the wall we see today, starting from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayuguan Pass in the west, was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty.2.要了解中國文化，就應該對中國的戲曲文化有所了解。中國地方戲種類很多，其中京劇是一個具有代表性的劇種。作為一個獨立的劇種，京劇的誕生大約是在1840年至I860年。京劇是在吸收其他地方戲營養的基礎上形成的。京劇有明確的角色分工。在念白上用北京方言；在音樂上以胡琴為主要伴奏樂器。由于京劇是在融合各種地方戲之精華的基礎上形成的，所以它不僅為北京的觀眾所鐘愛，也受到全國人民的喜愛。

To understand the Chinese culture, you have to know something about the Chinese opera culture.In China, there are many kinds of local operas, among which Peking Opera is a representative one.As an independent opera form, Peking Opera was approximately born between 1840 and 1860.Peking opera originated from absorbing the essentials of other local operas.In Peking Opera there is a clear division of roles.The spoken parts are in Beijing dialect;and huqin is the main accompaniment instrument.Since Peking Opera has combined the cream of various local operas, it is enjoyed not only by Beijing audience, but also by people all over the country.難點精析：

1.要了解中國文化，就應該對中國的戲曲文化有所了解：該句沒有給出明確的主語，因而在翻譯時要注意：增譯主語you。“中國的戲曲文化”可譯為the Chinese opera culture。

2.中國地方戲種類很多，其中京劇是一個具有代表性的劇種：該句在翻譯時可以采用非限定性定語從句結構。該句可譯為：In China, there are many kinds of local operas, among which Peking Opera is a representative one.注意此處為了避免在前后分句中重復使用名詞opera而在后半句中使用了名詞性替代詞 one。3.京劇是在吸收其他地方戲營養的基礎上形成的：“在??的基礎上形成”如果直接譯為be formed on the I basis of...會稍顯生硬，因而可以靈活譯為originate from...。“地方戲”可以直譯為local opera。4.念白：“念白”指的是中國戲曲中人物的獨白或者兩者的對話，因而此處在翻譯時可將其靈活譯為the spoken parts。

5.胡琴：這一特有名詞在英文中并沒有直接對應的詞匯或表達，因而可以采用漢語拼音表示。

6.“the cream of…”: …的精華；…的精英

第三篇：關于中國文化的翻譯

Today the ancient, ancestral wisdom of the hand has been largely replaced by the simple movements of the machine operator, our glass and china, furniture, books, and textiles are almost entirely products of the machine．The machine-made goods can be well designed and good-looking no one denies;nevertheless, there are many who believe that if the old skills of the hand-worker were to die out altogether it would be a disaster.Their arguments are, roughly, three.First, that the machine is by its nature a mass producer, and that objects made in ones and twos can be made better, even cheaper, by an individual craftsman than by a machine;secondly that the human hand with relatively simple tools can produce objects of a quality permanently beyond the reach of the machine；thirdly, that it is not good for mankind if people lose the ability to create with their hands.今天，那種古老的祖傳手藝在很大程度上已為機器操作者簡單的動作所取代。我們使用的玻璃制品、瓷器、家具、書籍和紡織品幾乎全都是機器生產的。現在誰也不會否認，機器制品可以做到設計精巧、式樣美觀。然而，卻有許多人認為，要是手工藝人的技藝完全失傳的話，那準是一場災難。他們的理由，歸納起來大體上有三點。首先，機器生產本來就是大批量生產，而由個體工匠單個制成的物品則比機器生產的更好，甚至更便宜。其次，人的手工借助于簡單的工具能生產高質量的物品，這是機器望塵莫及的。第三，如果人類喪失了用雙手進行創造的能力，那對他們來說，并不是一件好事。

中國之所以堅持獨立自主的和平外交立場，是因為在歷史上她百年來飽受帝國主義侵略戰爭帶來的苦難，更珍惜今天來之不易的和平生活，更同情與支持各國人民共同努力維護世界和平。中國是個發展中國家，正致力于通過改革開放，加快社會主義現代化建設，努力提高人民生活水平。為了實現既定的經濟社會發展規劃與目標，中國不僅需要國內的安定，也需要有一個和平的國際環境，特別是和平的周邊環境。可以說這種愿望與世界各國人民的和平愿望是一致的。人們都知道，當今世界面臨和平與發展兩大課題，各國人民都希望有一個安寧平靜的和平環境，以發展經濟，改善生活。只有如此才能和平保障發展，發展促進和平。

China insists on a peaceful, independent foreign policy, because she suffered a great deal from imperialist invasion for almost a century, and thus she cherishes her hard-earned peaceful life all the more and would give more sympathy and support to the concerted efforts of all the people to maintain world peace.Being a developing country, China is trying in every way possible to speed up its socialist construction and raise the people’s living standards by means of reform and the open policy.To achieve the goal set for her economic and social development, China needs not only national stability but also a peacefulinternational environment, especially peacefulsurroundings．This is also the hope of all the people in the world.Peace and development are the two major tasks facing the world today.All the world peoples hope for a peaceful international situation so that they can develop their economies and improve living conditions.Peace is the guarantee for development and development in turn promotes peace.

第五篇：中國文化概況原文翻譯

《中國文化概況》是一部書籍，是從文化角度架起一座溝通中西的橋梁。下面小編為大家整理了中國文化概況原文翻譯，希望能幫到大家！

一、The constitution of the people’s republic of china is the fundamental law of the state.中華人民共和國憲法是中國的根本法。

The NPC is the highest organ of state power.Local people’s congresses are local organs of state power.The standing committee of the NPC is the permanent organ of the NPC.The term of office of the NPC and its standing committee is 5 years.The NPC and its standing committee are empowered with the rights of legislation, decision, supervision, election and removal.全國人民代表大會是最高國家權力機關。地方各級人民代表大會是地方權力機關。全國人民代表大會常務委員會是全國人大的常設機關。全國人大及其常委會任期是五年。全國人大及其常委會有立法，決策，監督，選舉和罷免的權力。

The communist party is the sole party in power in china.Apart from it, there are eight democratic parties in china.Multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the CPC is the basic political system in china.共產黨是中國唯一的執政黨。除此之外，還有八個民主黨派。中國共產黨領導下的多黨合作和政治協商制度是中國的根本政治制度。

二、Chinese philosophy is the collective designation for the various schools of thought.It developed independent of Europe and other civilized countries, with its own distinguishing feature, unique concept systems and expressive ways.Chinese philosophy has become one of the three philosophy systems in the world, the other two being Western philosophy and Indian philosophy.中國哲學是對各種思想流派的統稱。它以自己的特色，獨特的概念體系和表達方式歐洲和其他文明的國家發展。中國哲學已經成為世界三個哲學系統之一，其他兩個是西方哲學和印度哲學。

Chinese philosophy has developed over several thousand of years.Its origin can be traced back to the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties.It began to take definite shapes during the Spring and Autumn Period and enjoyed thriving development because of the emergence of the “a hundred schools of the thought contend” during the Warring States Period.中國哲學發展了幾千年。它的起源可以追溯到夏，商，周時期。它春秋戰國時期蓬勃發展因為“百家爭鳴”的出現。

三、Chinese classical literature refers to literature works from the days before the Qin Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty ,and is virtually an unbroken strand enduring dynastic changes.中國古典文學是從先秦到清末的文學作品，是改朝換代的一個重要的部分。

Long before the written language appeared, there was an oral tradition of tales of fables and legends.Some of them are still kept in some ancient books as a precious heritage of Chinese literature.Over 3000 years, there has emerged a great variety of excellent works in terms of poems, essays, novels, dramas and so on.早在文字出現之前，有寓言和神話傳說的口頭傳統。他們中的一些人仍然保留了一些古籍作為一種寶貴的中國文學遺產。在過去的3000年中，出現了大量優秀的作品，詩歌，散文，小說，戲劇等。
