第二篇:2016大学英语四级 翻译练习
世界贸易组织成立于1995年1月1日,目的是确保一个稳定的全球和贸易经济环境。在当今世界上的190多个国家中,世界贸易组织的成员国(member country)有158个。在处理国家之间的贸易规则方面,世界贸易组织是唯一的全球性国际组织。世贸组织的事务应该引起我们的关注,因为世贸组织制定的规则对我们国家的经济和国民生活都有一定的影响。The WTO(World Trade Organization),established on January 1, 1995, aims to ensure a stable trade and economic world environment.The WTO is an association of 158 member countries, of more than 190 countries in the world today.The WTO is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations.The business of the WTO should be of interest to us because the rules that are being decided therein have an impact on our national economy, and peoples lives.2 奥运会是国际性的体育盛会(sporting events),体育项目种类繁多,分为夏冬两季,均是每4年举办一次。最初有记载的奥运会于公元前776年在希腊的奥林匹亚(Olympia)举行。奥运会是最大的媒体活动之一。2000年悉尼奥运会上,有超过1.6万名播音员和新闻记者参与报道。据估计,有38亿观众通过电视收看了此届盛会。然而,奥运会的发展也是奥运会面临的一个大问题。
The Olympic Games are an international multisport event subpided into summer and winter sporting events.The summer and winter games are each held every four years.The original Olympic Games were first recorded in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece.The Olympics are one of the largest media events.In Sydney in 2000 there were more than 16 000 broadcasters and journalists, and an estimated 3.8 billion viewers watched the games on television.However, the development of the Olympics is one of the largest problems the Olympics face today.3 《三国演义》由罗贯中创作于14世纪,是一部中国历史题材小说。小说以汉朝末年和三国时期的历史演变为背景,叙述了在这个动荡(turbulent)时期发生的一系列重大事情。整个故事情节从公元168年开始一直到公元280年领土统一(reunification)时结束。小说篇幅长达80万字,分为120个章节,共描述了1 191个人物角色,堪称中国文学史上四大经典小说之一。
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, written by Luo Guanzhong in the 14th century, is a Chinese historical novel based upon events in the turbulent years near the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, starting in AD 168 and ending with the reunification of the land in AD 280.It is acclaimed as one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature, with a grand total of 800 000 words, 1 191 characters, and 120 chapters.4 秧歌舞(Yangko)是中国汉族的一种传统民间舞蹈,通常在北方省份表演。秧歌舞者通常穿上明亮多彩的表演服装(costume),他们的表演动作有力而迅速。在农历春节、元宵节等节日期间,人们一旦听到锣(gong)鼓声,不管外面天气有多冷,他们都会蜂拥到街上观看秧歌舞表演。近年来,中国东北某些城市的老年人自发组织了秧歌队,队员常年通过跳秧歌舞来保持健康,同时他们也乐在其中。The Yangko dance is a traditional folk dance of the Han Chinese, commonly performed in the northern provinces.Yangko dancers usually wear bright and colorful costumes, and their movements are vigorous and quick.During holidays such as lunar New Year and the Lantern Festival, as soon as people hear the sound of drums and gongs they swarm into the streets to watch Yangko dance performances, no matter how cold it is outside.In recent years, elderly people in some cities in Northeast China have been organizing themselves into Yangko teams, with the dancers mostly enjoying themselves while keeping fit all year round.5 中国人喜欢在一起吃饭,这个传统可以追溯到很久之前。这反映出中国人喜欢团圆、不愿分离的观念——圆桌、圆盘、圆碗都象征着团圆和美满。盘子通常放在桌子的中央,这样坐在桌子面前的所有人都可以吃得到。一锅热汤尤其可以增加和谐、团圆的气氛。朋友们也喜欢在一起吃饭、生活。最近一位美国汉学家(Sinologist)的著作认为,中国人的集体观念(collective tradition)就是从一同吃饭发展而来的。
Chinese like to eat together, which is a tradition that can be traced back a long time ago.It reflects the Chinese notion of union versus pision—round tables, round dishes, and round bowls all symbolize union and perfection.Dishes are usually placed at the center of the table so that everyone around the table can share them.A hot pot, in particular, adds to the atmosphere of harmony and union.Friends also like to eat and live together.A recent book by an American Sinologist held that the Chinese collective tradition developed out of the practice of eating together.6 川剧(Sichuan Opera)就像四川火锅以及其他的名菜一样动人、丰富。变脸(Face Changing)是川剧中的一大亮点。据说古人在他们的脸上作画,[JP2]以便赶走野生动物。川剧吸收了这一古老的技艺并将其升华为一门艺术。变脸是一门神奇的艺术。演员在不到20秒的时间内要换十多次脸谱。通过举手、摆袖或摇头,演员使用不同的脸谱来表现不同的情绪,并通过看得见摸得着的脸谱表达出看不见摸不着的感情。
Sichuan Opera(Chuan Ju), like hotpot and other famous Sichuan dishes, is exciting and rich.Face Changing is the highlight of Sichuan Opera.It is said that ancient people painted their faces to drive away wild animals.Sichuan Opera absorbs this ancient skill and perfects it into an art.Face Changing is a magical art.Actors change more than 10 masks in less than 20 seconds.By raising the hand, swinging a sleeve or tossing the head, an actor uses different masks to show different emotions, expressing invisible and intangible feelings through visible and tangible masks.7 长城作为世界上最伟大的奇观之一,是古代中国在不同时期为抵御北方游牧民族(nomadic tribe)侵袭而修筑的规模浩大的军事工程的统称。如同巨龙一般,长城自东向西绵延8 800多公里。距今已有2 000多年历史的万里长城很多地方已经变成了废墟,但是它仍然是世界上最具吸引力的地方。1987年,长城被联合国教科文组织(UNESCO)列为世界文化遗产。The Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders in the world, is the general name of a series of largescale military constructions during different periods in ancient China, hoped for the defense against the invasion of nomadic tribes from the north.Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall stretches over 8 800 kilometers from east to west of China.With a history of more than 2 000 years, many sections of the Great Wall have been in ruins now.However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the world.In 1987, the Great Wall was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.8 光棍节,又称“双十一”,最初是由大学生发起的单身人士的情人节,现在已经从最初的庆祝单身变成了中国人的一个网购狂欢节。过去六年里,中国的电商(ecommerce)巨头们开始利用这一商机,通过打折促销吸引顾客,提高销售收入。天猫(Tmall.com)双十一一天的销售额从2009年的5 000万飙升至2013年的350亿。邮政部门(the State Post Bureau)表示由于准备充分,尽管订单增加,快递业务仍然运行正常。
Singles Day, also named the Double 11 Day, which originated with college students as an alternative to Valentines Day for single people, now has transformed its original function as a day of celebration for the great unloved into a day of crazy online shopping for the Chinese people.Over the past six years, Singles Day has been taken advantage of by Chinese ecommerce giants by offering discounts and launching sales campaigns on that day to attract customers and boost sales income.Sales at Tmall.com on Singles Day have snowballed from 50 million yuan in 2009 to 35 billion yuan in 2013.The State Post Bureau said that thanks to adequate preparation, express deliveries were running on schedule despite the increase in orders.9 对于中国人来说,“面子”十分重要,它指的是一个人根源于自尊的名誉观。大部分中国人都认为,有面子是最重要的事情之一,丢面子则会带来巨大的痛苦。因此,人们必须了解并遵守面子规则,如果违反就会受到严厉的惩罚。然而,有时候一个人丢面子不仅仅是因为他们的行为不符合社会的要求,还可能是由于别人的行为没有符合他个人的期待。
Face is immensely important for the Chinese.It can be defined as a notion of ones reputation rooted in selfesteem.Most of the Chinese people believe that to have face is one of the most valued things, while to lose face is a cause of great anguish.Thus, people are expected to know and abide by the rules of face and are penalized harshly if they break them.However, sometimes a person could lose face not only because of his failure to match up to societys obligations on him, but also from the failure of others to act in accordance with his expectations of them.武术在我国源远流长,是中国传统文化的瑰宝(gem)。我们知道,一个民族的优秀文化遗产不仅仅属于一个民族,它会逐渐传播到世界的其他地方而成为人类的共同财富。为了更好地推广武术,使其与奥运项目接轨,中国武协和国际武联(the Chinese Wushu Association and the International Wushu Federation)做了艰苦卓绝的工作。现在武术已被列为一种与保龄球(bowling)和国际标准舞(international standard dance)有同等地位的奥运表演项目。
With a long history in China, wushu is a gem of Chinese traditional culture.As we all know, the excellent cultural heritage of a nation doesnt belong to the nation alone but will be spread to the rest of the world gradually to be shared by all humanity.The Chinese Wushu Association and the International Wushu Federation have been working very hard to popularize wushu and move it closer to the Olympic events.Now, wushu has been accepted as an Olympic demonstration event with the same status as bowling and international standard dance.11 旗袍(Qipao)是中国独特的传统服饰。旗袍原本是满族(Manchu)妇女的服装,穿在身上非常宽松,直上直下,中间没有腰线。后来一些汉族的女性对这种服饰进行了改造,使它更加合身、性感。20世纪20年代,旗袍在上海的女学生中变得非常流行。旗袍一般是由丝绸制成,领口、袖口和腋襟上都绣有精细的花边。旗袍体现了中国女性的端庄、温柔和美丽。
Qipao is a unique kind of traditional Chinese attire.Originally worn by Manchu women, Qipao fitted loosely and hung straight down the body with no waistlines.And then some Han Chinese ladies carried out some improvements on the design, making it more fitting and sexier.When it came to the 1920s, Qipao became very popular among the girl students in Shanghai.Qipao is usually made of silk, and embroidered with delicate laces at the neckline, cuffs and edges.Qipao embodies Chinese womens modesty, softness and beauty.中国石窟(grotto)主要反映的是佛教文化艺术。敦煌莫高窟、大同云冈石窟、洛阳龙门石窟、天水麦积山石窟,号称中国四大石窟艺术景观。佛教石窟随山雕凿、彩绘,形象生动自然,将崇高美(sublimity)与世俗情(secular feeling)融为一体,把天然造化与人工创造有机结合,是由建筑、绘画、雕塑等组成的博大精深、绚丽夺目的综合艺术殿堂。其艺术成就为世界所瞩目,已成为重要的世界文化遗产。
Chinese grottoes mainly reflect the art of Buddhist culture.In China, there are four major art landscapes of grottoes: the Mogao Grottoes at Dunhuang, the Yungang Grottoes at Datong, the Longmen Grottoes at Luoyang, and the Maijishan Grottoes at Tianshui.Carved and painted on mountains, the Buddhist grottoes mingle both sublimity and secular feelings together, presenting us a vivid and natural appearance.They embody the systematic combination of both the exceptional artistry of great nature and the extremely fine craftsmanship of mankind.The Chinese Buddhist grottoes are regarded as a profound and stunning general art gallery, displaying the art of architecture, painting, sculptures and etc.The artistic achievements of Chinese grottoes have attracted the attention of the world, and have become an important international cultural heritage.13 中国古典文学包括诗歌、散文、小说及词(ci)、赋(fu)、曲(qu)等多种文体,艺术表现手法丰富各异。小说历史悠久,并在明清时期达到巅峰。小说中的《三国演义》《水浒传》《西游记》《红楼梦》被称为中国四大古典文学名著,至今在国内外都有着广泛而深远的影响。研读四大名著能够了解中国传统人文社会、民俗,是汲取古代文明精粹、处世为人策略与智慧的重要途径。
Chinese classical literature includes poetry, prose, fiction, and ci(new lyrics written to preexisting tunes), fu(“descriptive poems” of prosepoetry), qu(a freer form based on the new popular songs and dramatic arias), and many other styles.Its artistic expressions are various in techniques.Chinese fiction has a long history, reaching its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Four classics of Chinese literature are Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Pilgrimage to the West, and A Dream of Red Mansions, which have extensive and farreaching significance both on a national and international level.Through reading “the four famous novels” carefully, you can understand traditional Chinese society and human culture, and its folklore.And it is an important way to absorb the quintessence of ancient culture as well as to pick up strategies and wisdom on how to get along with others.14 泰山(Mount Tai)位于山东中部,占地426平方千米,最高峰“玉皇顶(the Jade Emperor Peak)”海拔约1 545米。泰山以恢宏的自然景观著称于世,山上点缀着寺庙、石碑和石刻(stone inscription)。身为中国五大名山之首,泰山备受佛教(Buddhism)和道教(Taoism)的推崇。中国的很多皇帝都曾到泰山敬拜天地。传统观念认为泰山是每天太阳最先升起的地方。因此为了到泰山之巅看日出,成千上万的人午夜就开始攀登泰山。
Located in central Shandong Province, Mount Tai covers 426 square kilometers with its highest peak, the Jade Emperor Peak, reaching about 1 545 meters above sea level.Mount Tai earns a reputation for its imposing natural scenery festooned with a chain of temples, stone tablets and stone inscriptions.As the first of the “Five Great Mountains” in China, Mount Tai is revered both in Buddhism and Taoism.Many emperors in China visited it to hold the Heaven Worship ceremony.Traditional belief maintains that each day begins with the sun rising at Mount Tai, thus thousands of sun worshipers climbed it from as early as midnight in order to appreciate sunrise at its peak.中国古代四大艺术中的“画”特指国画。其绘画形式是用毛笔蘸墨、颜料作画于绢或宣纸之上,古代称之为水墨丹青(inkpainting)。为区别于西方的油画而称之为中国画,简称“国画”。其题材有人物、山水、花鸟等。技法可分为工笔(fine brushwork)和写意(freehand brushwork)。国画的艺术特质在于“笔墨”,强调以形写神,画尽意在。国画在艺术创作上反映了中华民族的审美意识和情趣。
Painting in the four art forms in ancient China particularly refers to traditional Chinese painting.Traditional Chinese painting is done with a brush dipped into black or colored ink and is painted on spun silk or xuan paper.In ancient China, it was called inkpainting.In order to distinguish it from Western oilpaintings, the Chinese people term their works “Chinese painting”, short for traditional Chinese painting.The subject matters of Chinese paintings are typically figures, landscapes, birds and flowers.The drawing skills and techniques employed by the Chinese painters can be pided into two forms: fine brushwork and freehand brushwork.The artistic characteristics of Chinese painting lie in “the writing brush and ink”.Chinese painting emphasizes using the shape to convey the feelings of the painter.Even though a painting is a finished product, it endlessly conveys a meaning.In terms of the artistic creation, Chinese painting is a reflection of the aesthetic consciousness and artistic sentiment of the Chinese people.16 瓷器(porcelain)是中国最为重要的手工艺品之一。中国瓷器有3 500多年的历史,明清时期尤其繁荣。瓷器不仅可以用作日常餐具(dinnerware)、花瓶等,精美的瓷器更是常常被人们用来装饰家居。作为高档艺术品的象征,真品瓷器常常具有极高的艺术价值和经济价值,因此,常被很多人视为珍藏品。中国瓷器受到各国人民的欢迎,经常被用作表达中外友谊的礼物。Porcelains are one of Chinas most important handicrafts.Chinese porcelains have a history of more than 3 500 years, their most prosperous period being Ming and Qing Dynasties.Porcelains can be used as daily dinnerware and vases, and delicate porcelains are even commonly used for home decorations by people.As the symbols of highend works of art, authentic porcelains are often of extremely high artistic and economic value and therefore they are often regarded as precious collections by many people.Chinese porcelains are popular with people around the world, and they are often used as presents for expressing friendship between Chinese and foreign people.17 酒是中国人生活中的重要饮品之一。中国制酒源远流长,享誉中外。在中国最具有代表性的酒莫过于白酒(liquor)了,从某种角度上来说,中国的酒文化就是白酒文化。酒在中国人眼里更多的是一种交际的工具。酒在中国人生活中占有重要的位置,渗透于(permeate)整个中华五千年的文明史中,包括文学创作、娱乐、烹饪、养生保健等各方面。
Alcohol is one of the important drinks in Chinese peoples life.Chinese alcoholmaking has a long history and has been renowned at home and abroad.In China, no alcohol is more representative than Chinese liquor and at some point, Chinese alcohol culture is Chinese liquor culture.Alcohol is more of a communication tool in Chinese peoples eyes.Alcohol has permeated 5 000 years civilization of the whole Chinese history, which plays an important role in every aspect of Chinese peoples life, from literary creation and entertainment to cooking and health preservation.18 11月11日由四个1构成,因此每年此日就是光棍节(Singles Day)。20世纪90年代,南京众多大学首先开始庆祝光棍节。正如其名,这个新节日是专门为单身人士设立的。近年来,中国成为世界上互联网用户最多的国家,而单身人士是网购的主力军(main force),许多电子商务平台(platform)就在光棍节当天开展促销活动以吸引中国不计其数的单身人士前来购物。目前,光棍节已成为中国人疯狂网购的日子。
Singles Day falls on every November 11th because the date is comprised of four “ones”.It was initially celebrated at many universities in Nanjing during the 1990s.As the name indicates, this new holiday is one exclusively for people who are still living a single life.In recent years, as China has become a country with the worlds biggest population of Internet users and the single people are the main force of Chinas online spending power, many ecommerce platforms launch promotion campaigns on the day in order to attract countless single people around China to their websites.Singles Day has become a day of crazy online shopping among the Chinese now.19 随着城市化(urbanization)进程的加快,越来越多的农民工(migrant worker)在城市里安顿下来。他们把子女接到城里来,希望孩子能接受到更好的教育。然而,这些农民工发现现实并不像他们预期的那么美好。城市公立学校的设施和师资远远不能满足大批农民工子女的需求。幸运的是,农民工子女的教育已成为政府议事日程上优先处理的问题。
With the acceleration of urbanization, an increasing number of migrant workers settle down in the cities.They bring their children along with them to the cities, with the hope of their children receiving better education.However, the migrants find the reality is not as promising as theyve expected.The facilities and faculties in the urban public schools are far from enough to meet the needs of the big group of migrant children.Luckily, the education problem of the migrant children has become a priority on the governments agenda.20 杭州市拥有世界上最大的公用自行车系统(bike sharing system)。目前杭州市共有2 700个公用自行车租赁站点,共计66 500辆车。计划至2020年,公共自行车的数量将增至175 000辆。租用自行车需要智能卡(smart card),可在任意站点租车、在任意站点还车。租车骑行1小时内免费,1小时以上则按每小时1元收费。公用自行车系统对缓解杭州市的交通拥堵(congestion)起到了很大的作用。
With 66 500 bikes in 2 700 renting stations in the city now, Hangzhou owns the largest bike sharing system in the world.It plans to increase to 175 000 bikes by 2020.For renting a bike, one needs a smart card.One can rent a bike and return it at any station.Bike users can ride for free for the first hour and pay 1 yuan per hour for the extra time.The system is of great help to relieve the traffic congestion in Hangzhou city.

中国画
中国画线条简单,却能给人无限的想象空间。所以中国人看画,事实上是在心里作画。也许有人会问:中国的山水画家为什么老是喜欢画一些简陋的茅屋,而不画高大的建筑呢?这是因为中国人觉得物质生活是短暂的,人的精神却是永恒的。一个人如果领悟了天地的辽阔,山水的悠久,他还能不察觉自己的渺小,而变得谦虚吗? Chinese painting Chinese painting, though simple in line, inspires a boundless realm of imagination.Therefore, when Chinese people appreciate their painting, they are actually painting in their mind.Some may ask;why do Chinese landscape painters love to paint shabby thatched cottages instead of high buildings? It is because they sense the brevity of physical life but he eternity of the human spirit.If one realizes the boundlessness of heaven and earth and the eternity of mountains and rivers, how could he be otherwise than humble at his own insignificance in the universe?
谦虚
中国人说话总是很客气,这并不是中国人虚伪,而是他们处世做人的一种基本态度---谦虚。中国人一向不愿跟别人争胜,但是自己一定要怀抱着高远的理想。如果他说没有什么菜,意思是说:不管拿出多少好吃的东西来款待你,仍然不能充分表示对你的尊重和欢迎。在中国的山水画里往往没有人,就是有,也画得很小,只能算点缀。这是中国人对大自然的谦虚,他把自己融入风景里,而不让风景来陪衬自己。
Chinese people are always humble in conversation.It is not out of deceit, but out of their basic principle for conducting themselves in life: modesty.They don’t often want to contend for the upper hand, but certainly hold lofty ambition within themselves.By saying there is not much to eat, they mean that no matter how much delicious food may be served, it is never enough to show their respect for and hospitability towards you.In Chinese paintings, there are no humans, or if there are any they are merely tiny adornments.It is out of their humility in nature, by blending humans into the scenery instead of highlighting humans above it.烧菜
烧菜是一种艺术。所以会烧菜的人一定懂得配菜,知道哪几种菜配在一起,颜色鲜明可爱;哪一种菜要加些什么作料才好吃;烧哪些菜要用快火,哪些菜要用慢火。这些事都不简单,全靠厨子的技术和经验;做久了,自然熟能生巧。中国人讲究生活的艺术,如果只有很少的菜钱,他们就特别用些心思,把简单的食物做得味道鲜美,增加生活的乐趣。Cooking Cooking can be considered an art.A good chef know how to complement material in the dish.He has the knowledge of what ingredients make lovely bright colors, of the spices that make a dish delicious, and of the need for quick heat or slow fire to make dishes taste right.All this is not simple, but is dependent on the technique and experience of the chef, who can only reach perfection after long practice.Chinese people stress the art of living.If they have but little to expend on food, they will pay special attention to the cooking, making delicious dishes out of the simple ingredients that add spice to life.自强不息
中华文明历来注重自强不息,不断革故鼎新。“天行健,君子以自强不息。”这是中国的一句千年传世格言。中华民族之所以能在5000多年的历史进程中发展壮大,历经挫折而不屈,屡遭坎坷而不馁,靠的就是这样一种发疯图强、坚忍不拔与时俱进的精神。中国人民在克服前进道路上的各种困难中表现出来的顽强毅力,正是这种自强不息精神的生动写照。Self-improvement Chinese civilization has always emphasized unremitting self-improvement, reform and innovation.An ancient Chinese motto has been handed down to generations for thousands of years, i.e., “As Heaven keeps vigorous through movement, a gentleman should unremittingly practice self-improvement.” Throughout its 5,000-year history, it is thanks to perseverance, determination, stamina and innovation that the Chinese nation has grown after surviving numerous setbacks and adversity.Chinese people’s great tenacity in overcoming difficulties on the road to progress gives expression to their traditional spirit of unremitting self-improvement..

答案:
1.not so much a writer
(“与其说,不如说”可以用not so much„as„的结构来表达)

3.was finally called off/cancelled because of the bad weather
(分析题干可知句子的主语为“the sports meet”, which was planned to be held last Friday是修饰它的定语从句,且事情发生在过去,故谓语动词应该用过去时单数。因动词“取消”的逻辑主语不是句子的主语,因此要用被动语态。“取消”的表达法有“call off,cancel”等)

科学有许多特性,要了解科学是什么,就得详细地考察一下这些性能和特点。有一些作者断言说科学实际上只是一种方法—科学的方法。这样的定义是过于简单化了。但是科学方法在决定科学知识的性质方面肯定起着重要的作用。
参考答案:
Science is related to all the existing things and the characteristics and process of the phenomena happening in nature.Science contains the wholenature,which develpos various penetrating viewsabout human being's conceptions that how variousnatural phenomena are related together and how they constitute our so-called universe.Science has many characteristics.We have to inspect those functions and characteristics indetail if we want to know what the science is.Some authors assert that science in fact is a kindof method-scientific method.This definition is over simplified.But obviously the scientificmethod plays an important role in deciding the nature of the scientific knowledge.3、其实我一点儿不排斥电脑,也享受着它的种种方便快捷,但每当我要给最亲近的人写信时还是喜欢用笔,因为我坚信字是有生命的,有情感的,在书写的同时,我生命的一部分也随之带走了,而打字则像是请人代笔,隔着一层什么,就像打电话时尽管你能清楚地听到对方的呼吸,可有些话就是怎么也说不出来,最后还是得借助笔纸,就是这么神奇,形式的不同、工具的不同,影响到内容的不同。
参考译文:
Actually I do not reject the computer at all and alsoenjoy its every kind of convenience.But every timewhen I want to write to my closet people,I would liketo use a pen.Because I firmly believe that charactershave their life and emotion.When writing,one part ofmy life is taking away with it.But typing is like hiring people to write for you.It is separated bysomething just like although you can clearly hear the breath of the addressee,some words youjust can't say them out at all.At last you have to write with the help of pen and paper.It is somagic that different formats and different tools will influence the difference of context.4、杭州是中国著名的六大古都之一,已有两千多年的历史。这个城市不仅以自然美闻名于世,而且有着传统的文化魅力。不仅有历代文人墨客的题咏,而且有美味佳肴和漂亮的工艺品。一般来说,游览杭州西湖及其周边景点花上两天较为合适。到杭州旅游,既令人愉快,又能得到文化享受。
参考译文:
Hangzhou,one of China's six ancient capital cities, has a history of more than 2,000 years.It is famous not only for its natural beauty but also for its charm of cultural traditions.Besides many poems and inscriptions by men of letters through the dynasties,it also boasts local delicacies and pretty handicrafts.Generally speaking,a two-day tour of West Lake and scenic spots around it is advisable for a tourist.As a tourist, you will find it a pleasant and culturally rewarding trip to Hangzhou.5、林小枫本科毕业,她丈夫宋建平硕士毕业。就是说,都具有着成为知本家的基本要素。但不知为什么,他们的进步水准,永远比时下的高水准要慢着两拍。就那么两拍,不会更多,但似乎永远也难以赶上。那状况很像网上所调侃的:到他们可以吃猪肉的时候,人家开始吃生猛海鲜;到他们可以吃生猛海鲜的时候,人家开始吃糠咽菜。要是他们压根儿就没有可能成为那优秀一群中的一员,倒也罢了,像街边的清洁工、像乡下的老农民,他们肯定会安之若素心如止水;但当他们“有”而“不能”时,就不能不感到痛苦。
参考答案:
Lin Xiaofeng graduated form college and her husband Song Jianping graduated with a Master's degree.That is to say,they both have fundamental elements of becoming intellectuals.But we don't know why their progress level would always fall behind the present high level by several steps.It is just several steps,no more,but it seems that they never would catch up.That situation is very much alike something ridiculed online:when they can have the pork meat,everybody starts to eat the sea food;when they can enjoy the sea food,everybody starts to have the simple vegetables.It was OK that they have no chance to be parts of that excellent group,just like the cleaning people on the street,the old farmers in the countryside,who would definitely bear it with equanimity;but when they have the ability while they can't,they can not stop feeling pains.6、徐霞客一生周游考察了十六个省,足迹几乎遍及全国。他在考察的过程中,从来不盲目迷信书本上的结论。他发现前人研究的地理的记载有许多不是很可靠的地方。为了进行真实细致的考察,他很少乘车坐船,几乎全靠双脚。During his life time,Xu Xiake had visited sixteen provinces,leaving his footprints in nearly every corner of our country.He neither used books as the single guide for his travel,nor did he accept conclusions given by books without thinking.As a result,he finally discovered considerable inaccuracies occurring in the geographical notes written by predecessors.In order to get a detailed and truthful picture of the places he visited,he rarely traveled by cart or boat,but almost all on foot.7、无论如何,创造财富的物质资源,不论其初始分配如何,最终是要通过各种各样的渠道,流入到具有企业家精神的人手里,这是自由市场的一个基本趋势。这些人获得对他人的财富的支配权、使用权,以之为自己创造财富,并积累财富。这正是自由市场具有效率的根源。它可以动态地、自发地把资源从资源利用效率较低的人手里转移到资源利用效率较高的人手里。中国人讲“富不过三代”,其中有一些无奈,但也揭示了自由市场的精髓所在:财富本身并不能充当财富的保障。因为,财富本来就不是财富创造出来的。However,no matter how they are allocated in thefirset place,the material resources which can createfortune will flow into entrepreneurs'handseventually through various channels.It is the basictendency of free market.Those people acquire theright of disposal and the right of use of other people's wealth to create and accumulatewealth for them.This is the very source of efficiency of free market.It can dynamically andspontaneously transfers the resources from the people who are inefficient in resourses useto the people who are efficient in resources use.There is a Chinese saying that “the rich cannot last three generations”.It has no alternative but also reveals some pith and marrow of thefree market:the fortune itself can not be be guraantee of the fortune,because the fortune isnot created by fortune.8、1936年竺可桢授命出任浙江大学校长。在此之前,他已经是一位声名卓著的自然科学家了。从1936年到1949年,竺可桢当了十三年大学校长。在连绵不断的战争、学运的夹缝中,在极为恶劣的环境下,他跋涉五千里、五易校址、历经五省、颠沛流离,居然将这所他接手时只有三个学院、十六个系的大学办成了拥有七个学院、二十七个学系全国最完整的两所大学之一。In 1936,Zhu Kezhen was appointed as the principalof Zhejiang University.Even before then,he had beena famous natural scientist.From 1936 to 1949,ZhuKezhen worked as the university principal for 13years.In the extremely hostile environment filledwith converging attacks by continuous wars and various university affairs,being homeless andmiserable,he trudged 5,000 li and drifted from place to place through 5 provinces,with theuniversity location being changed 5 times.He actually developed the university into one of the nation's two most integrated universities composed of 7 schools and 27 departments,compared with only 3 schools and 16 departments when he took it over.9、中国公司想创造世界品牌,外国公司想增加在中国的销量,这些都正改变着中国的设计产业。中国制造商意识到,若他们想在本国市场脱颖而出,在外国市场崭露头角,就必须设计更好的产品。索尼这样的外国公司也开始明白,从前海外公司常把随便什么地方设计的产品拿到中国来卖,而现在,中国消费者变得更加挑剔,他们不再那样容易满足了。Chinese companies want to create world brands andthe foreign companies want to increase the selling inChina which all change the Chinese designindustry.The Chinese manufacturers realize that theyhave to design better products if they want tostand out in the domestic markets as well as distinguish themselves in the foreignmarkets.Previously,the overseas caompanies always took the products which were designed insomewhere to Chinese market,but now the foreign companies such as Sony begins to realizethat the Chinese consumers become more and more fastidious and no longer easy to besatisfied.10、对于一名女子来说,传统美是她的唯一标志。她的皮肤应该天生丽质,没有皱纹,没有疤痕,没有瑕疵。她的身材应该消瘦苗条,通常高挑个,双腿修长,其中青春年少则是首要条件。所有在电视广告中出现的“花容月貌”的靓女都符合这个标准。这种形象是认为的,是可以人工塑造的。许多妇女尽其所能来摆布和修改自己的容貌体态。To a woman,the traditional beauty is her onlymark.Her skin should be born smooth withoutwrinkles,scars or flaws.Her body should be slim andthin,and usually she is tall,having long legs.Theyouth is the primary condition.All of the beautieswho have showed up in the TV commercials are fit for that criterion.This image is artificial andcan be made by people.Many women do their best to decorate and modify their looks andfigures.11、在中国,人们对一切艺术的艺术,即生活的艺术,懂得很多。一个较为年轻的文明国家可能会致力于进步;然而一个古老的文明国度,自然在人生的历程上见多识广,她所感兴趣的自然是如何过好生活。就中国而言,由于有了中国的人文主义精神,把人当作一切事物的中心,把人类幸福当做知识的终结,于是,强调生活的艺术就是更为自然的事情了。但即使没有人文主义,一个古老的文明也一定会有一个不同的价值尺度,只有这样,它才会知道什么是“持久的生活乐趣”。任何一个民族,如果它不知道如何享受生活,那么,在我们的眼里,这个民族一定是粗野的,不文明的。In China,people know a lot about the art of allarts,namely,the art of life.A comparatively youngcountry will dedicate to the progress;however,anancient civilized country is experienced andknowledgeable in the life road,and naturally she isinterested in how to lead a good life.As to China,it is much more natural to emphasize the artof life because of the humanism spirit of China,taking people as the center of everything andmaking human being's happiness as the end of knowledge.Even if there is no humanism,anancient civilization would also have its own value standard,and only in this way would it knowwhat the “lasting life pleasure”is.Any nation,if it does not know how to enjoy life,must bebarbaric and uncivilized in our eyes./
12、过去的七年,中国的房地产(real estate)业经历了前所未有的高速增长。对于那些月薪较低却渴望在大城市拥有一套属于自己的体面、舒适的栖身之所的人来说,高昂的房价是他们无法承受的负担。鉴于这一状况,政府近来采取了一系列的措施来防止房价过快增长,包括提高利率及增加房产税等。目前,这些措施在部分城市已经取得了初步的成效。
参考翻译:
In the past seven years, China’s real estate industry has developed in a record high speed.For those who earn less but are eager to own a decent and comfortable place of their own in a big city,the high housing price is a heavy burden that they cannot afford.For this reason, the government has taken a series of measures to prevent the housing price from rising too fast, including raising interest rates and increasing taxes on real estate etc.Presently, these measures have achieved initial effects in some cities.13、如今,越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下:首先,大学生把在校的大多数时间都用在了专业学科学习上,只有当他们开始找工作的时候,才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次,大学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈,这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此,强烈建议大学生在课余时间做一些兼职工作,以积累相关的工作经验。Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job.The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training.Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce.And this results in a decreased chance for any inpidual graduate to find a job.Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience./ 14、2008年11月9日,中国政府出台了进一步扩大内需、促进经济增长的十项措施,预计在未来两年时间内投资4万亿人民币。中国政府在例行的中央经济工作会议召开之前突然宣布该方案,既显示了中国政府抗击金融危机、防范经济增长下滑的信心,也反映了中国政府对国内经济增长前景的预期明显恶化。该方案刚一出台便引发世界范围内高度关注,并直接推动全球股市上涨。然而,由于中国政府并未在第一时间详细披露该方案实施细则,近日来围绕该方案的猜测与争议绵延不绝。On 9 November, 2008, Chinese government has put forth ten Measurements to further drive up domestic demands and promote economic growth.An investment of RMB 4 trillion is expectedto be earmarked in the following two years.Thegovernment's unexpected announcement of this incentive package prior to the routinecentral government economic meeting asuggests not only the government's confidence infighting against the global financial crisis and preventing the economic downturn,but also itsprudence in estimating the domestic growth in economy.Right after its announcement,thispackage drew the eyes worldwide,and spurred the global stock markets.However,lastingdoubts and disputes haver risen recently,as the government failed to disclose the relevantdetails at the first time.15、2008年11月9日,中国政府出台了进一步扩大内需、促进经济增长的十项措施,预计在未来两年时间内投资4万亿人民币。中国政府在例行的中央经济工作会议召开之前突然宣布该方案,既显示了中国政府抗击金融危机、防范经济增长下滑的信心,也反映了中国政府对国内经济增长前景的预期明显恶化。该方案刚一出台便引发世界范围内高度关注,并直接推动全球股市上涨。然而,由于中国政府并未在第一时间详细披露该方案实施细则,近日来围绕该方案的猜测与争议绵延不绝。On 9 November, 2008, Chinese government has put forth ten Measurements to further drive up domestic demands and promote economic growth.An investment of RMB 4 trillion is expectedto be earmarked in the following two years.Thegovernment's unexpected announcement of this incentive package prior to the routinecentral government economic meeting asuggests not only the government's confidence infighting against the global financial crisis and preventing the economic downturn,but also itsprudence in estimating the domestic growth in economy.Right after its announcement,thispackage drew the eyes worldwide,and spurred the global stock markets.However,lastingdoubts and disputes haver risen recently,as the government failed to disclose the relevantdetails at the first time./
16、这周颁布的一项新法律要求子女必须经常探望年龄超过60岁的父母,并确保他们经济和精神上的需求得到满足。星期二,新华社报导了1条新闻,来自江苏市无锡市的一位77岁的老太太起诉她的女儿忽略她。这是新法律生效后的第一起案件,当地法院规定她的女儿至少每月探望母亲两次,并提供财力支持。但是这项法律引发了争议。有人说这给了那些因为工作、学习或者其他原因搬离家乡的人更多压力。
参考译文: A new national law introduced this week requires the offspring of parents older than 60 to visit their parents “frequently” and make sure their financial and spiritual needs are met.On Tuesday, Xinhua reported a news that a 77-year-old woman from Jiangsu city of Wuxi sued her daughter for neglecting her.In the first case after the new law came into effect, the local court ruled that her daughter must visit her at least twice a month and provide financial support.But the law’s introduction has proved controversial.Some say it puts too much pressure on those who move away from home for work, study or other opportunities.17、截至2005年第三季度,全国劳动力市场供求状况显示,我国15岁至29岁的青年总体失业率达到了9%,远远高于4.5%的城镇平均登记失业率。而在此之中,选择主动失业的占到了一半以上。
“主动放弃就业机会的原因很多,但这些人都有一个共性,就是不会因为经济原因饿死。至少在短时间内。”复旦大学教授葛剑雄认为,社会发展到现在,一些青年人的确具备了可以失业的条件。他们不用像上班族那样刻板地工作,可是相比之下他们的生活却格外“富足”。Update to the third quarter of 2005,the supply anddemand of the whole nation's labor force marketindicated that the overall unemployment rate ofour country's youth from the age of 15 to 29 was upto 9%,which was much higher than 4.5% of theaverage rural area register unemployment rate.Among this group,the number of peopleactively choosing to be unemployed was more than a half.“There are many reasons to give up the chance of employment,but those people have acommon feature that they do not starve for economic reasons at least in a short period.”Theprofessor Ge Jianxiong of Fudan University thought that some young people indeed had theconditions to be unemployed as the society develops to nowadays.They do not need to workroutinely like the office workers,but comparatively their life was extremely “well-off”./
18、湖泊奇妙无比。苍鹭(Heron)在岸边缓缓地迈着步子,翠鸟(Kingfisher)和杜鹃换脚着从阳光里飞入树荫,火鸡模样的大鸟在枯枝间忙碌,鹰在头上盘旋。我们毋庸为时间担忧,可以从容地欣赏周围的一切。我乘坐的独木舟船头坐着个男孩,他用简陋的弹弓(sling)发射石弹击打飞鸟。他摆出漂亮的架势瞄准飞鸟,却一次又一次地偏离目标:鸟总是飞出他的射程。他把弹弓塞回进衬衣内。我移开目光。
湖水与河水都如热带雨林中的树叶那样乳浊:那水是面纱,是窗帘,是画屏。This lake was amazing and wonderful.Herons ploddedalong the shores,Kingfishers and cuckoos clatteredfrom sunlight to shade,great turkeylike birds fussedin dead branches,and hawks hovered above us.Therewas all the time in the world.And we couldappreciate everything surrounding by leisurely.The boy in the bow of my canoe slappedstones at birds with a simple sling,a rubber thong and leather pad.He aimed brilliantly atmoving targets,missed again and again;the birds were out of his range.He stuffed his slingback in his shirt.Then I looked away.The lake and river waters were as opaque as rainforest leaves;the water was veil,blind,paintedscreen.19、岁月悠悠,沧桑巨变。历史是最生动的教材。法西斯发动的侵略战争给人类带来了浩劫,也教育了世界人民。世界人民赢得了战争的胜利,赢得了和平与进步。半个世纪过去了,痛苦的回忆,胜利的喜悦,深深的思考,使人们更加清醒。历史证明,和平来之不易。世界大战的悲剧绝不能重演。必须经常保持高度警惕,不断发展和壮大和平力量,遏制和消除导致战争的一切因素。历史表明,人民终究是自己命运的主人,是社会前进的推动者。凡是正义的和进步的事业必然要胜利,这是任何力量也扼杀不了和阻挡不住的。As time moves on everything changes in the world.History is indeedthe most vivid textbook.War ofaggression launched by fascists hasbroughtscourges to mankind but also enlightenedpeople throughout the world.People have not onlywon the war but also achieved peace and progress.Halfa century later the painful memories joy of victory and soul-searchingpondering have madepeople more sober-minded.History has demonstrated that peace has not come about easily.Thetragedy of a world war shall never be allowed to repeat itself.One mustalways maintainsharp vigilance develop and strengthen forces for peace andcheck and eliminate all factorsleading to war.History has demonstrated that people are in the end masters of theirdestiny andpowerful forces promoting social progress.Anything that is justand progressive is bound towin and cannot be smothered or stopped by anyforce.
