第二篇：学术综合英语翻译

1、Through language we can share experiences, formulate values, exchange ideas, transmit knowledge, and sustain culture.2、Metaphor is an implicit comparison between things that are different yet have something in common.3、In facer, the skillful use of supporting materials often makes the difference between a good speech and a poor one.4、To be more effective, though, the examples you cite for your speech should be vivid and richly textured.5、Extended examples-often called illustrations, narratives, or anecdotes-are longer and more detailed.6、Hypothetical examples describe imaginary situations and can be quite effective for relating ideas to the audience.7、Statistics can be extremely helpful in conveying your message, as long as you use them sparingly and explain them so they are meaningful to your audience.8、Citing the views of people who are experts is a good to make your ideas more credible.9、Words are the tools of a speaker’s craft.They have special uses, just like the tools of any other profession.10、There are four basic methods of delivering a speech: reading verbatim from a manuscript, reciting a memorized text, speaking with PowerPoint, and speaking extemporaneously or impromptu.1、The costs of energy –including not only the money and other resources devoted to obtaining and exploiting it but also environmental and sociopolitical impacts—detract from human well-being.2、Inadequacy of energy resources or(more often)of the technologies and organizations for harvesting, converting, and distributing those resources has meant insufficient energy benefits and hence in convenience, deprivation and constraints on growth.3、One key determinant of the answer of the answer is the staggering scale of energy demand brought forth by 100 years of unprecedented population growth, coupled with an equally remarkable growth in per capita demand of industrial energy forms.4、But they all require elaborate and expensive transformation into electricity or liquid fuels in order to meet society’s needs.5、In the case of air pollution from fossil fuels, in which the dominant threat to public health is thought to be particulates formed from sulfur dioxide emissions, a consensus on the number of deaths caused by exposure has proved impossible.6、For both resources, the very size of the uncertainty is itself a significant liability.7、Nevertheless, enough is known to suggest they portend even larger damage to human well-being.8、Energy supply, both industrial and traditional, is responsible for a striking share of the environmental impacts of human activity.9、Of all environmental problems, the most threatening, and in many respects the most in tractable, is global climate change.10、The only other external cost that might match the devastating impact of global climate change is the risk of causing or aggravating large—scale military conflict.1、He’s the last guy you want to see in your rear-view mirror when you’re speeding down the highway.2、The bottom line, according to the research publish in the J une 28 issue of The Lancet, is that traffic save lives.3、Their 1998 study caused a stir when they linked cell phone usage to traffic accidents.4、The full driving record of every licensed driver there was made available to them, warts and all, giving the researchers a huge database of more than 10 million licensed drivers.5、“What we found was that there were fewer tickets in the month before a fatal accident than there were a year before, and that suggests there’s a protective effect of having a ticket.6、They also found that the “relative risk reduction associated with traffic convictions was remarkably consistent among subgroups of licensed drivers,”…

7、The researchers also addressed the commonly held belief that traffic citation cause more accidents than they prevent because so many people are killed during police chase.8、The statistics do not include Ontario drivers who may have been involved in fatal accident somewhere outside that province.9、But the statistics suggest a correlation between the number of citations and the number of fatalities.10、Most crashes are unintended, unexpected, and could have

been prevented by a small difference in driver behavior.1、The labeling of “women’s language” as “powerless language” reflects the view of women’s behavior through the lens of men’s.2、This ambiguity accounts for much misinterpretation by experts as well as nonexperts, by which women’s ways of thinking, uttered in a spirit of rapport, are branded powerless.3、Nowhere is this inherent ambiguity clearer than in a brief comment in a newspaper article.4、Whether women or men are direct or indirect differs;what remains is that the women’s style is negatively valuated—seen as lower in status than the men’s.5、The woman’s style is called “covert,” a term suggesting negative qualities like being “sneaky” and “underhanded.”

6、The explanation for a woman’s indirectness could just as well be her seeking connection.7、You’re neither one-up nor one-down by being happily connected to others whose wants are the same as your.8、Calling an indirect communication covert reflects the view of someone for whom the direct style seems “natural” and “logical”—a view more common among men.9、The mutual indirectness in a Japanese lunch invitation may strike Americans as excessive.10、Only modern Western societies place a priority on direct communication, and even for Americans it is more a value than a practice.6The researchers point out that the innocent are often madeto pay the price for the careless drivers.7In other words, when the number of citations went down,the number of fatal accidentswent up the following month

8Most crashes are unintended,unexpected,and could have been prevented by a small difference in driver behavior.9.Experts and nonexperts alike tend to see anything women do as evidence of powerlessness.10.But far more cultures in the world use elaborate systems of indirectness than valuedirectness.

第四篇：英语翻译

“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move，” said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷)．

Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring.But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale？Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way.It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.Yes, that’s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body.Parkour is considered an extreme sport.As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念)behind parkour.This is the same as life.You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully.A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.” Another philosophy we’ve learnt from parkour is freedom.It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world.It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.()1.Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of ________.A．its founder, David Belle B．the film Casino Royale C．its risks and tricks D．the varieties of participants()2.The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”． A．streets

第五篇：英语翻译

1.As is commonly acknowledged / It is commonly recognised that humans are social animals.Bonded together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends.As to what friendship is, people have different notions / ideas.Some make friends for mutual utility.Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up.However, a lot more people long for “soul pals”— those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together.Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and encourage us to have the courage of our convictions.Such is what we call “true and perfect friendship”.2.After dinner, we all sat around the hearth.Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert.In her soft voice she told us about their past years.Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged.Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safe and sound from the European battlefield.Then they got married and brought up five children.For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life.I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love.They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion and romance.Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.3.Happiness must have much to do with money.After all, a hard life will wear out one’s sense of joy.However, happiness doesn’t derive from money alone.Today’s society as a whole has seen dramatic improvement in the standard of living, and the majority of people are decently fed and clothed.However, are people happier today? In fact, when the mass media and commercial advertisements are still reinforcing the notion that to be happy is to possess more, people find themselves longing more earnestly than ever for a happy and healthy spiritual life: being loved, respected, feeling safe and proud of realizing their self-value.As a wise man once pointed out, happiness lies in the positive attitude one holds towards life other than how much money one earns.Those millionaires who view life as boring and empty serve as good negative examples.5.Scientific development has brought about global changes in educational thought.It not only generates such a new form of education as “virtual universities” but turns “lifelong learning” into a workable project.In addition, people today seem to be in favor of practical knowledge.But whatever changes there might have been, education must stick to its classic role: to enlighten learners.Confronted with the new problems of this century, we still expect that education should put more emphasis on cultivating learners' competence to think critically and to work collaboratively / with team spirit.Furthermore, we hope that education will take the responsibility of promoting traditional virtues by guiding learners to dispense with negative desires like greed, lust and violence.6.Once transplanted abroad, people will feel anxious and even lose the capacity to deal with daily routines.This problem is attributed to the disappearance of the surroundings we have been used to.Then, what should we do so as to change the life styles and patterns built up in us over so many years? First, we should be more tolerant towards people with cultural backgrounds different from ours.To get over frustrations caused by culture shock, we should try to adapt ourselves to the new environment and get along with our workmates harmoniously.Furthermore, we should never identify a person with the nationality he represents or proceed to hate the person’s culture only because we don’t like him.In fact, to preserve our national culture is not to resist foreign ones.8.In the modern society, how does competition work in combination with cooperation? Firstly, scarcity leads to competition.Players of the same football team compete for slots on the team, and this team competes against other teams for victory.In a work place, colleagues compete for higher positions.And also in business, firms become rivals for more consumers and a bigger market share.But meanwhile competition is inseparable from cooperation.Players have to cooperate efficiently with one another to win the championships for their team.Colleagues have to cooperate to accomplish their shared task.Firms try their best to cooperate to lobby the agencies of business administration for the greatest privileges.All in all, inpiduals as well as teams are subjected to both competition and cooperation.The two together nourish the social development so that we can enjoy a more prosperous and harmonious world.
