1、The Industrial Revolution is a long train of changes starting about 1760.工业革命是指约1760年开始的一系列变革。a train of：“一长串”，这里可根据上下文译成“一系列”

change: n.(an example of)the act or result of changing，这里译成”变革“更好。

2、It is not alone: it forms one of a triad of revolutions, of which the other two were the American Revolution that started in 1775, and the French Revolution that started in 1789.It is not alone = it is not the only one 因此译成“它不是唯一的一次革命”更好。triad: a group of 3 closely related people or things one of a triad of revolutions：三大革命之一。

of which 引导一个非限制性定语从句：the other two were the American Revolution that started in 1775, and the French Revolution that started in 1789.这个非限制性定语从句本身又包含两个限制性定语从句：that started in 1775和that started in 1789分别修饰the American Revolution 和the French Revolution，英汉翻译时，一般来说，非限制性定语从句与中心词分句翻译，限制性定语从句，特别是不长的，翻译时放在中心词之前。因此，句子可以译成：

它不是唯一的一次革命，而是三大革命之一。其它两次是1775年开始的美国革命和1789年开始的法国革命。

3、It may seem strange to put into the same packet an industrial revolution and two political revolutions.But the fact is that they were all social revolutions.The Industrial Revolution is simply the English way of making those social changes, I think of it as the English Revolution.packet: 包裹，这里是隐喻

译文：把一次工业革命与两次政治革命扯在一起，或许有点奇怪。但是，事实上，它们都是社会革命。工业革命只不过是以英国的方式造成那些社会变化而已。我把它看作是英国革命。

4、What makes it especially English? 在此，English= of / belong to England;especially = particularly 译文：是什么使这次革命独具英国特色呢？

5、The men who make it are craftsmen: the millwright, the watchmaker, the canal builder, the blacksmith.这次革命的发动者都是一些手艺人：磨坊技师、钟表匠、运河开凿人和铁匠。

6、What makes the Industrial Revolution so peculiarly English is that it is rooted in the countryside.扎根于农村，正是这场革命的英国特色。

这是一句强调句式的句子。等于The fact that the Industrial Revolution is rooted in the countryside makes it particularly English.类例：

What worried him was that he had never had such experiences before.7、During the first half of the eighteenth century, in the old age of Newton and the decline of the Royal Society, England basked in a last Indian summer of village industry and the overseas trade of merchant adventurers.在18世纪上半叶，在牛顿的暮年和皇家学会衰落之时，英国正陶醉于乡村工业和商业冒险家海外贸易的最后的极盛时期。

an Indian summer不能直接译成“印地安夏季”。翻译过程中，不仅要根据上下文理解理解语言现象、理解逻辑关系，还要理解原文所涉及的事物，这里an Indian summer:的意思是a pleasant or successful time nearly at the end of a particular period, such as the end of someone's life，因此译成“最后的极盛时期”才符合原文意义。类例：John can be relied on.He eats no fish and plays the game.约翰为人可靠，他既忠诚又正直。这里eat no fish 指“忠实”，Play the game= play fair（规规矩矩地比赛），转义为“公平对待”、“举止光明正大”、“为人正直”等。

8、The summer faded.繁荣消失。

9、The organisation of work in the cottage was no longer productive enough.以农家为单位劳动的组织形式不再具有足够的生产能力。

这里使用了增词法。Organization是由动词派生出来的抽象名词，在译成汉语时，在其后增加适当的名词，可以更清楚地表达抽象意义，并使译文更符合汉语习惯。类例：When you have made all the parations, please inform me in time.一切准备工作就绪后，请及时告之。

10、Within two generations, roughly between 1760 and 1820, the customary way of running industry changed.在两代人的时间内，大约从1760年到1820年，传统的工业经营方式发生了变化。

11、Before 1760, it was standard to take work to villagers in their own homes.By 1820, it was standard to bring workers into a factory and have them overseen.在1760年以前，通常是把工作交给村民，让他们在家里干。到了1820年，则通常是把工人带进工厂，让他们在监督之下干活。

句中standard的意思是used or accepted as normal or average 所以译成“一般”、“通常”更好。

二、参考译文

工业革命是指约1760年开始的一系列变革。它不是唯一的一次革命，而是三大革命之一。其它两次是1775年开始的美国革命和1789年开始的法国革命。把一次工业革命与两次政治革命扯在一起，或许有点奇怪。但是，事实上，它们都是社会革命。工业革命只不过是以英国的方式造成那些社会变化而已。我把它看作是英国革命。是什么使这次革命独具英国特色呢？不言而喻，因为它开始于英国。英国那时已经成为头号的制造业国家。不过当时的制造业只是农家手工业，而工业革命就是在农村开始的。这次革命的发动者都是一些手艺人：磨坊技师、钟表匠、运河开凿人和铁匠。扎根于农村，正是这场革命的英国特色。

在18世纪上半叶，在牛顿的暮年和皇家学会衰落之时，英国正陶醉于乡村工业和商业冒险家海外贸易的最后的极盛时期。繁荣消失。贸易竞争越来越激烈。到18世纪末，工业的需求更加紧张，更加迫切。以农家为单位劳动的组织形式不再具有足够的生产能力。在两代人的时间内，大约从1760年到1820年，传统的工业经营方式发生了变化。在1760年以前，通常是把工作交给村民，让他们在家里干。到了1820年，则通常是把工人带进工厂，让他们在监督之下干活。

Exercise 5 Machines and Science Help Farmers

1、本练习选自《美国历史简介》的REVOLUTION IN AGRICULTURE章节。

2、Despite the great gains in industry, agriculture remained the nation's basic occupation.= Although there had been great gains in industry, agriculture continued to be the basic occupation.gains: increasing in weight, speed, height or amount这里是increasing in speed的意思。

occupation: 表示“a person's job“时，在较正规的场合用。如果译成： “尽管工业方面取得了很大进步，但农业始终是国家的基本事业。”不是很自然，不如意译成：

“尽管工业方面取得了很大进步，但这个国家仍然以农业为主。”更为通顺。注意：

在直译不能很好地表达原文的意义时，可以意译，使译文读起来更通顺。但是意译不是胡来乱译，一定要忠实于原文。

3、The revolution in agriculture--paralleling that in manufacturing after the Civil War--involved a shift from hand labor to machine farming, and from subsistence to commercial agriculture.parallel something: happen at the same time 与...同时发生 that:指前面提到的the revolution involve: bring about导致

a shift from...to...从...到...的转变 译文：

战后，在制造业领域内发生革命的同时，农业领域内也在发生一场革命，带来手工劳动向机械耕作的转变、自耕自给农业向商业农业的转变。这里subsistence直译成“维持生计”让人不能理解，应译为“自耕自给农业”。翻译时要根据上下文来理解。这里我们使用了增词法，增加“农业”使译文更通顺。本句的翻译也用到结构转换的理论。

4、Between 1860 and 1910, the number of farms in the United States tripled, increasing from 2 million to 6 million, while the area farmed more than doubled from 160 million to 352 million hectares.在一八六O年至一九一○年间，美国的农场数目增加了两倍，自二百万个增加到六百万个，耕地的面积扩大了一倍多，从一亿六千万公顷增至三亿五千二百万公顷。

5、Between 1860 and 1890, the production of such basic commodities as wheat, corn and cotton outstripped all vious figures in the United States.从一八六O年至一八九O年，各种基本农产品的生产，如小麦、玉米和棉花等，都超过了美国以前的产量。

6、In the same period, the nation's population more than doubled, with largest growth in the cities.同时，全国人口也增加一倍多，城市人口增长最快。名—动词

7、But the American farmer grew enough grain and cotton, raised enough beef and pork, and clipped enough wool not only to supply American workers and their families but also to create ever-increasing surpluses.然而，美国农业人口生产了足够的粮食和棉花，提供了充足的猪肉和牛肉，收剪的羊毛，不但足够供给美国工人及其家庭的需要，并且剩余量日益增加。

8、Several factors accounted for this extraordinary achievement.One was the expansion into the West.Another was the application of machinery to farming.extraordinary ：非凡的；惊人的 account for: explain farming:耕作 译文：

取得这一非凡的成就有几方面的原因：第一个原因是向西部的扩展，第二个原因是农业耕作使用机器。

9、The farmer of 1800, using a hand sickle, could hope to cut 20 percent of a hectare（hektair）of wheat a day.With the cradle, 30 years later, he might cut 80 percent of a hectare daily.在一八○○年，一个农民使用镰刀，在一天之内，可望收割五分之一公顷小麦，但三十年后，使用附有摇篮架的大镰刀，每天就可以收割十分之八公顷。

10、In 1840 Cyrus McCormick performed a miracle by cutting from two to two-and-a-half hectares a day with the reaper, the curious machine he had been developing for nearly 10 years.到一八四O年，麦柯密克创造了奇迹。使用他研究了差不多十年才制造出来的神奇的割禾机，竟然一天能收割二公顷到二公顷半。

注意这里定语从句he had been developing for nearly 10 years使用“合并法”翻译，译文中该从句放在被修饰词之前。

11、Foreseeing the demand, he headed west to the young prairie（尤指北美大草原）town of Chicago, where he set up a factory--and by 1860 sold a quarter of a million reapers.where he set up a factory为非限制性定语从句，用“分译法”翻译 Foreseeing the demand现在分词短语作状语，主句中headed和sold为并列的两个动词作谓语。

a quarter of a million：1/4百万，也就是“25万”。

译文：

由于他的远见，他便去西部新兴草原市镇芝加哥，在那里他开设了收割机工厂。到一八六O年，他售出的收割机共有二十五万架之多。

12、Scarcely less important than machinery in the agricultural revolution was science.本句因为Scarcely放于句首，句子倒装。Scarcely less important这里可以采用反译法。译成“几乎同等重要”。类例：I never see her but I want to kiss her.我每次看见她都想吻她。译文：

在农业革命中和机械几乎同等重要的是科学。

13、In 1862 the Morrill Land Grant College Act allotted public land to each state for the establishment of agricultural and industrial colleges.These were to serve both as educational institutions and as centers for research in scientific farming.一八六二年，根据“莫里尔公地兴学法案”，国会把公用地分配给各州，以便建立农业和工业学院。这些学校一方面是教育机关，另一方面，也是农业科学的研究中心。

14、Congress subsequently appropriated funds for the creation of agricultural experiment stations throughout the country and also granted funds directly to the Department of Agriculture for research purposes.appropriated：拨专款后来

译文：

国会又拨款在全国各地遍设农业实验站，并直接拨款给农业部作研究用。

15、By the beginning of the new century, scientists throughout the United States were at work on a wide variety of agricultural projects.在新世纪开始时，在全国各地的科学家都在广泛地进行农业科学研究。（都属于词类转换）

二、参考译文

机器和科学帮助农民

尽管工业方面取得了很大进步，但这个国家仍然以农业为主。战后，在制造业领域内发生革命的同时，农业领域内也在发生一场革命，带来手工劳动向机械耕作的转变、自耕自给农业向商业农业的转变。在一八六O年至一九一○年间，美国的农场数目增加了两倍，自二百万个增加到六百万个，耕地的面积扩大了一倍多，从一亿六千万公顷增至三亿五千二百万公顷。

从一八六O年至一八九O年，各种基本农产品的生产，如小麦、玉米和棉花等，都超过了美国以前的产量。同时，全国人口也增加一倍多，城市人口增长最快。然而，美国农业人口生产了足够的粮食和棉花，提供了充足的猪肉和牛肉，收剪的羊毛，不但足够供给美国工人及其家庭的需要，并且剩余量日益增加。取得这一非凡的成就有几方面的原因：第一个原因是向西部的扩展，第二个原因是农业耕作使用机器。在一八○○年，一个农民使用镰刀，在一天之内，可望收割五分之一公顷小麦，但三十年后，使用附有摇篮架的大镰刀，每天就可以收割十分之八公顷。到一八四O年，麦柯密克创造了奇迹。使用他研究了差不多十年才制造出来的神奇的割禾机，竟然一天能收割二公顷到二公顷半。由于他的远见，他便去西部新兴草原市镇芝加哥，在那里他开设了收割机工厂。到一八六O年，他售出的收割机共有二十五万架之多。

Exercise 6 五四运动 类例：

1949年她丈夫死了，给她丢下了五个孩子。

Her husband died in 1949, leaving her with five children.他们开枪打死了我们一个巡逻兵。

They opened fire, killing one of our patrolmen.译文：

After World War I, the imperialists stepped up their aggression against China while the Northern Warlord government resorted to compromise and capitulation externally and to ruthless opssion of the people internally, landing China in a grave national crisis.3、一九一九年“巴黎和会”上中国外交的失败，激起了中国人民的极大愤慨。

China's diplomatic setback at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 aroused strong indignation among the Chinese people.4、五月四日，北京三千多学生在天安门前集会，他们高呼“外争国权，内惩国贼”、“废除二十一条”等口号，举行示威游行。

原文是一个复句，在翻译时，一般首先从逻辑上仔细分析，弄清各分句之间的关系，区分开哪个分句为主，然后按照英语表达习惯，适当处理，一般，从属的分句可采用非限定性短语或介词短语来表达，或通过增加关联词或从句形式来处理。本句“三千多学生”和“他们”是指同一个动作的发出者，因此“集会”和“举行示威游行”可以列为同一主语下的并列的动词作谓语，而“高呼”在此表示“集会”和“举行示威游行”的状态，因此应从属于前面两动作，用现在分词表示较合适。译文：

On May 4, over three thousand Beijing students gathered in front of the Tian An Men, and then held a demonstration, shouting such slogans as ”Defend our sovereignty, punish the traitors!“, ”Abolish the Twenty-one Demands!“

5、他们要求惩办卖国贼曹汝霖、陆宗舆、章宗祥，并火烧了曹宅，痛打了章宗祥。北洋军阀政府出动军警镇压，捕去学生30多名。

They demand the traitors Cao Rulin, Lu Zongyu and Zhang Zongxi-ang be punished.They set fire to Cao's residence and beat up Zhang.The government called out troops and policemen to suppress the demonstrators.Over thirty students were arrested.这里根据英语动词suppress的需要，增加了原文中省略的动词的宾语“the demonstrators”。另外把句子“北洋军阀政府出动军警镇压，捕去学生30多名。”用断句法翻译更好。因为用被动句式翻译“捕去学生30多名”，这篇历史性的报道显得更客观。

6、那时候，各地学生纷纷响应北京学生的反帝爱国斗争。具有初步共产主义思想的知识分子李大钊、毛泽东、周恩来等同志分别在北京、长沙、天津，指导了这场伟大的反帝运动。

原文中的“纷纷”较难译，“响应”不能简单地译为“respond to”，分别意译成“one...after another...“和“support”较好。

具有初步共产主义思想的知识分子：intellectuals with the rudiments of communism 译文：

Immediately, the students in one part of the country after another rose in support of the anti-imperialist patriotic struggle launched by the students in Beijing.The intellectuals with the rudiments of communism, Li Dazhao, Mao Ze-dong, Zhou Enlai and other comrades supervised this great movement in Beijing, Changsha, Tianjin respectively.7、六月三日，北京学生组织演讲队，开展大规模的宣传活动，军阀政府对学生的镇压变本加厉，捕去170多人。

“捕去170多人”用被动语态翻译更适合语境。

On June 3, the students of Beijing formed groups of speakers and carried out extensive propaganda.The government intensified its supssion and over 170 students were arrested.8、“

六、三”以后，主要是青年学生参加的五四爱国运动，发展成为无产阶级、小资产阶级和民族资历产阶级共同参加的全国范围的革命运动。无产阶级成为运动的主力。上海、唐山、长辛店等地工人纷纷罢工示威，中国工人阶级第一次作为觉悟了的独立的政治力量登上政治舞台，暗示了他的伟大力量。

根据上下文，这里的“纷纷”表示“多”。

From then on, the May 4th patriotic movement, which had been conducted mainly by the Student youth, became a nation-wide revolutionary movement in which the proletariat, the petty bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie all took part, with the proletariat as the mainstay.Large numbers of workers in Shanghai, Tangshan, Changxindian and elsewhere went on strike and held demonstrations.For the first time in Chinese history, the working class appeared as an awakened, independent force in the political arena, demonstrating its tremendous strength.9、在全国人民反帝爱国的压力下，北洋军阀政府被迫释放被捕学生，撤消三个卖国贼的职务，拒绝在德国“和约”上签字，反帝反封建斗争取得了初步胜利。

原文是一个没有关联词的较长的复句，如果同样译成一个长句，在结构上有困难，语意也不清楚，可以通过断句法来处理。原文是一句先分后总的总分复句，翻译时可在句子的结尾部分断句，即将最后的总结部分（“反帝反封建斗争取得了初步胜利”）断开，单独译作一句。译文：

Under the ssure of the nation-wide anti-imperialist patriotic struggle, the Warlord government had to set free the students arrested, dismiss the three traitors from office, and refuse to sign in the “Peace Treaty” with Germany.This marked an initial victory for the struggle against imperialism and feudalism.“

10、五四运动是一次彻底的不妥协的反帝反封建的革命运动，它促成了中国工人运动同马克思主义的结合，在思想上、干部上为中国产党的成立作了准备，是中国新民主主义革命的开端。

原文是一句先总后分的总分复句，可以把总说部分单独译成一句。后面分说部分可以译成一句并列复句。由于分说部分有三层明显的意义，所以也可以分别译成独立的三个句子。译文：

The May 4th Movement was a thoroughgoing, uncompromising revolutionary movement against imperialism and feudalism.It was instrumental in bringing about the integration of Marxism with China's labour movement.It paved the way, both in ideology and in the matter of cadres, for the founding of the Chinese Communist Party.It ushered in China's new-democratic revolution.二、参考译文

The May 4th Movement After World War I, the imperialists stepped up their aggression against China while the Northern Warlord government resorted to compromise and capitulation externally and to ruthless opssion of the people internally, thus landing China in a grave national crisis.China's diplomatic setback at the Pans Peace Conference in 1919 aroused strong indignation among the Chinese people.On May 4, over three thousand Beijing students gathered in front of the Tian An Men, and then held a demonstration, shouting such slogans as ”Defend our sovereignty, punish the traitors!“, ”Abolish the Twenty-one Demands!“ They called for punishment to be meted out to the traitors Cao Rulin, Lu Zongyu and Zhang Zongxiang.They set fire to Cao's residence and beat up Zhang.The government called out troops and policemen to supss the demonstrators and over thirty students were arrested.Immediately, the students in one part of the country after another rose in support of the anti-imperialist patriotic struggle launched by the students in Beijing.Comrades Li Dazhao, Mao Ze-dong, Zhou Enlai and other intellectuals who already had some knowledge of communism guided this great movement in Beijing, Changsha, Tianjin respectively.On June 3, the students of Beijing formed groups of speakers and carried out extensive propaganda.The government intensified its supssion and arrested over 170 students.From this point on, the May 4th patriotic movement, hitherto conducted mainly by the Student youth, became a nation-wide evolutionary movement in which the proletariat, the petty bourgeoisie and the national bourgeoisie all took part, with the proletariat as the mainstay.Large numbers of workers in Shanghai, Tangshan, Changxindian and elsewhere went on strike and held demonstrations.For the first time in Chinese history, the working class appeared as an awakened, independent force in the political arena, demonstrating its tremendous strength.Under the ssure of the nation-wide anti-imperialist patriotic struggle, the Warlord government had to set free the students it had arrested, dismiss the three traitors from office, and withhold its signature from the ”Peace Treaty“ with Germany.This marked an initial victory for the struggle against imperialism and feudalism.The May 4th Movement was a thoroughgoing, uncompromising revolutionary movement against imperialism and feudalism.It was instrumental in bringing about the integration of Marxism with China's labour movement, and it paved the way, both in ideology and in the matter of cadres, for the founding of the Chinese Communist Party.It ushered in China's new-democratic revolution.Unit 2 History 1.the Industrial Revolution工业革命 2.industrial capital产业资本.one’s self-made career自我奋斗的生涯 4.build canals开凿运河 5.out of interest出于兴趣.one of a triad of revolutions三大革命之一 7.an Indian summer最后的极盛时期 8.parallel something与„同时发生 9.account for解释.a quarter of a million25万.辛亥革命the Revolution of 1911 12.新民主主义论On New Democracy 13.举行示威游行hold a demonstration 14.在„号召下at the call of 15.第一次世界大战the First World War或World War One 16.北洋军阀政府the Warlord government 17.五四爱国运动the May 4th patriotic movement 18.和约Peace Treaty 19.反帝反封建斗争the struggle against imperialism and feudal­ism 20.产业资金industrial funds 第3章 Unit 3 Geography

一、Journey Up the Nile 1.Tombs and temples of ancient Egypt follow the Nile well into Sudan.尼罗河沿岸直到苏丹境内很远的地方，到处可以见到古埃及的坟墓和寺庙。

原文的描写非常形象、生动。但译成汉语时无法保留原文的形象，因为“follow”这个词很难处理，故译作“到处可以见到„”。

2.Driving southward from Cairo into the valley, I entered a landscape that owed little to the sent era.我从开罗驱车南行，进入尼罗河河谷，这里的景色还没有受到多少现代的影响。

“Driving southward from Cairo into the valley”是个现在分词短语，逻辑主语是“I”，译成汉语时需说“我从开罗驱车南行，进入尼罗河河谷”。

“own...to...”意为“recognize sth.to the cause of sth.将某事物归因于某事物”。原句的含义是“该地区的景物基本上没有受到现代的影响”。

3.the thin ribbon of the Nile尼罗河像一条细细的蓝色丝带

“of”用于两个名词中间，前者修辞后者，故译作“尼罗河像一条细细的蓝色丝带”。

例：(1)He's got the devil of a temper.他脾气极坏。

(2)Where's that fool of a receptionist? 那个笨蛋接待员在什么地方？

(3)He's a fine figure of a man.他是个体型好看的男子。

4.At the edge of the fields, rising in dramatic hills or stretching flat to the horizon, lay the brown barren deserts.这田地外边是寸草不生的棕色沙漠，有的地方突然隆起像是小山，有的地方则平平地伸向地平线。

此句为倒装句。主语是“the brown barren deserts”，因为介词短语“At the edge of the fields”前置以示强调，故全句主谓倒装。翻译时尽量保持原句效果，译作“这田地外边是寸草不生的棕色沙漠，有的地方突然隆起像是小山，有的地方则平平地伸向地平线。”。

“barren”意为：(of land)not good enough to produce crops（指土地）贫瘠的。

5.I had the illusion that I was driving through one immensely long, narrow farm.我仿佛在驱车穿过一个特别狭长的农场。

“illusion”意为“错觉”或“幻觉”，但直译不合适，故译作“我仿佛在驱车穿过一个特别狭长的农场。”

6.The villages and towns were usually perched on the edge, so as not to waste arable soil and because there was a need, before the High Dam tamed the Nile, to live beyond the reach of the annual floods.大小村镇一般都处于田地的边上，这是为了不浪费耕地，同时也是因为在高坝控制尼罗河以前，有必要住得远一点，以躲避每年发生的洪水。

“perch”意为：place(sth.)in a high or dangerous position将（某物）置于尤指高处或危险处。例：a hut perched at the edge of the cliff悬崖边上的小舍

“arable”意为：（land that is）suitable for ploughing and for growing crops适于耕作的（土地）。“arable soil”就是“耕地”。

动词不定式短语“to live beyond the reach of the annual floods”作定语，修辞名词“need”。字面意思是“有必要住到每年洪水泛滥不到的地方”。

全句的内部结构比较复杂，“and”连接两个表示原因的词句，“need”和修辞语之间插了一个时间状语从句。

7.The road followed the course of the Nile, now passing through the fields, now drawing a black line separating them from the desert.公路是顺着尼罗河修筑的，有时穿过庄稼地，有时像是划的一条黑线，这边是庄稼，那边是沙漠。

“now...now...”意为：at one time...at another time...时而„„时而„„

例：Her moods kept changingwould it be too high or too low? 还没修坝的时候，我们老惦记着洪水，——今年的洪水会太大呢，还是会太小呢？

“obsess”常用于被动语态，意为：fill the mind of sb.continually使（某人）牵挂，惦记，着迷或困惑。例：She was obsessed with the idea that she was being watched.她总觉得受人监视而心神不宁。

10.Like all the generations of my family back to the pharaohs, I used to plant my crops and never know if I would harvest.我过去种庄稼，从来不知道能不能收。我的祖辈以至古代的法老也都是这样。

“pharaoh”意为：(习题详解 of the)ruler of ancient Egypt法老（古埃及国王或其称谓）。

11.It was a natural system of replenishment and cleansing.那是自然形成的一个补充土壤和清除盐分的体系。

“replenishment”的动词形式“replenish”意为：fill up(sth.)again(with...)（以„„）再装满，补充。在此句中为“补充土壤”的意思。

“cleanse”意为：make thoroughly clean, make pure 彻底清洁，涤净。在此句的为“清除盐分”的意思。

全句在翻译时就需要根据上下文意思进行添词。

12.Today this treasury of silt is trapped behind the dam, and there is no effective drainage system.现在宝贵的泥沙被水坝拦住了，却没有除盐的有效办法。

同样，这里的“drainage system”也不能简单地译成“排水系统”。此处仍然指“补土排盐系统”。另外，此句中“of”前面的名词“treasury”修辞后面的名词“silt”，译作“宝贵的泥沙”。

（二）参考译文：

沿尼罗河而上（摘录2）

尼罗河沿岸直到苏丹境内很远的地方，到处可以见到古埃及的坟墓和寺庙。我从开罗驱车南行，进入尼罗河河谷，这里的景色还没有受到多少现代的影响。从这里再往前一千八百英里，尼罗河像一条细细的蓝色丝带，缓缓流向北方，沿途穿过棕色的土地和绿色的田野，这田地外边是寸草不生的棕色沙漠，有的地方突然隆起像是小山，有的地方则平平地伸向地平线。

我仿佛驱车穿过了一个特别狭长的农场。大小村镇一般都处于田地的边上，这是为了不浪费耕地，同时也是因为在高坝控制尼罗河以前，有必要住得远一点，以躲避每年发生的洪水。公路是顺着尼罗河修筑的，有时穿过庄稼地，有时像是划的一条黑线，这边是庄稼，那边是沙漠。

在卢克苏尔以南不远的阿瓦米亚村，我曾看着农民收割甘蔗。村里一位长者，名叫阿明·易卜拉欣，请我到他家去做客，向我介绍了阿斯旺高坝的影响。他的话比我以前听到的更为乐观一些。他说：“还没修坝的时候，我们老惦记着洪水，——今年的洪水会太大呢，还是会太小呢？我过去种庄稼，从来不知道能不能收。我的祖辈以至古代的法老也都是这样。现在不用害怕了，我们知道一定会有水，也知道会有多少水。我们不是收一季，而是收三季了。家里用上了电，还用电开水泵，不需要再用吊桶提水了。过去我们到富人家里去听收音机。现在我们一年到头种庄稼了，就自己买收音机了，甚至还买电视机呢。”

不过阿明也看得很清楚，他承认这件事还有另外一面，不那么好的一面。他说：“土地更差了，因为过去尼罗河一泛滥就带来泥沙，可现在没有了。我们不得不用化肥，而化肥是很贵的。即便这样，庄稼还是不如以前打得多。”

他带我在他家附近的庄稼是里走了走。只见地面上结了一层盐。“现在不像以前了，河水不泛滥，盐分就冲不走了，”阿明对我解释说。过去每年尼罗河泛滥，可以给沿岸的农田留下细沙两千万吨。河水退去的时候，就把土壤里的盐分冲走，冲到地是海里去。那是自然形成的一个补充土壤和清除盐分的体系。现在宝贵的泥沙被水坝拦住了，却没有除盐的有效办法。

二、Adelaide(Excerpt)

（一）解说：

1.The city was laid out with broad streets in an open grid pattern, and over 4000ha2 of parklands encircling the city were served.街道宽阔，布局呈方格形。城市周围留有公园区，面积达四千余公顷。

“lay out”意为：make a plan for 计划，设计。例：lay out a garden 设计一花园；well-laid out streets and avenues 设计良好的街道和马路。

本句中有两处被动式，不能一看到被动式就译成被动式，要考虑到中文的表达习惯，故没有完全按照原句的形式来译。另外，“lay out”的意思体现在“布局”一词中。“were served”用“留有”来表述。

2.To the east the Mount Lofty ranges form an imssive backdrop.东有壮观的洛夫蒂岭衬托。

“backdrop”意为：背景。

3.Belts of parklands line three sides of the area and four large open squares of lawns and trees break the regularity of the city buildings.三面有公园环绕，区内四个大广场有草坪和树木，打破了市区建筑的单调气氛。

“regularity”意为：state of being regular 规律性。这里的规律性是指区内到处都是建筑，景色缺少变化，有了公园和绿地就不显单调了。故“break the regularity”被译成“打破单调气氛”，比较符合原意。

4.N and S Adelaide are divided by the Torrens River, spanned by four bridges and lined with ornamental gardens.托伦斯河把阿德莱德分成南北两区，河上架有四座桥梁，两岸点缀着许多花园。

“spanned”和“lined”这两个过去分词短语均作定语，修辞“the Torrens River”。为了能顺，译文中加了“河上”两字，后一短语意译成“两岸点缀着许多花园”，这样两个短语在句式表达上非常平稳一致。

5.The city contains many fine examples of early Australian architecture, including the town hall on King William Streetthe Murray, the Torrens and the Onkaparinga.喷水池有三个边，三十四根喷水柱，还有铝制雕塑，这一设计代表着向阿德莱德供水的三条河——墨累河、托伦斯河和昂卡帕令加河。

原文中的主语和谓语分别是“design”和“resents”，所以译文的后半部分一定要加上“这一设计”，不能只说“代表着”，这样会误认为是“铝制雕塑代表着”。

7.Parklands, which separate the city and the suburbs, are served in perpetuity for the use of the people.市区和郊区之间的公园区永远留作市民的活动场所。

“in perpetuity”的意思是“for ever 永远”。

8.As an artistic event, a stimulus to the creative and performing arts in Australia, the Festival has introduced many world-famous artists to millions of Australians.此次艺术节是艺术界的一大盛事，不但推动了澳大利亚的艺术创作和表演，而且把众多世界闻名的艺术家介绍给了澳大利亚的广大群众。

“a stimulus to the creative and performing arts in Australia”原本是“an artistic event”的同位语，在译文中用动词“推动”来体现名词“stimulus”，这样处理较通顺，因为英语中多用名词，而汉语中则多用动词。

（二）参考译文：

阿德莱德（摘录）

阿德莱德Adelaide澳大利亚南澳大利亚州首府，是全国规划得最好的城市之一。街道宽阔，布局呈方格形。城市周围留有公园区，面积达四千余公顷。西临圣文森特湾，岸边有宽阔的沙滩。东有壮观的洛夫蒂岭衬托，洛夫蒂山（727米）为最高峰。市区南部主要是商业区，三面有公园环绕，区内四个大广场有草坪和树木，打破了市区建筑的单调气氛。市区北部主要是住宅区，周围也有公园环绕，区内有广场两个。托伦斯河把阿德莱德分成南北两区，河上架有四座桥梁，两岸点缀着许多花园。市区有典型的澳大利亚早期建筑物多处，位于宽阔的南北大道威廉王大街上的市政厅便有其中之一。市政厅于1863年奠基，设计者E。W。赖特曾任本市市长。

阿德莱德有许多雕像，并有喷水池七处。最为壮观的一处喷水池建于1968年，座落在该城的商业区中心——维多利亚广场。喷水池有三个边，三十四根喷水柱，还有铝制雕塑，这一设计代表着向阿德莱德供水的三条河——墨累河、托伦斯河和昂卡帕令加河。市区和郊区之间的公园区永远留作市民的活动场所。

1960年举办了第一届阿德莱德艺术节，阿德莱德自此赢得了澳大利亚文化中心的美名。此次艺术节是艺术界的一大盛事，不但推动了澳大利亚的艺术创作和表演，而且把众多世界闻名的艺术家介绍给了澳大利亚的广大群众。

（一）解说：

1.北海公园原是辽、金、元、明、清历代封建帝王的“御花园”。总面积共有68.2公顷。Bei Hai(North Lake)Park, covering an area of 68.2 hectares, was the imperial garden in the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.“总面积共有68.2公顷”在原句中是单独的一句。在译文中被处理成一个分词短语，作定语，修辞“Bei Hai Park”。这样比较符合英语的表达方式。

2.公园的中心——琼岛，周长1，913米，高32.8米，是1179年（金代）用挖海的泥土堆成的。The center of the park is Qiong Island, 32.8 metres high and 1,913 metres in circumference.It was made in 1179(in the Jin Dynasty)with the earth that came from the digging of the lake.中文往往比较简洁，一个句子能包含许多内容。在译成英语时，如果也只用一个句子的话会显得特别冗长，故在翻译时可考虑用几个单句来处理，本句便是一例。

3.岛上白塔建于1651年，塔高35.9米。The White Dagoba built on it in 1651 is as high as 35.9 metres.原文的谓语部分是在“建于”，而译成英语后，其谓语部分体现在“is as high as 35.9 metres”，不这么处理的话，“塔高35.9米”和“白塔”两个部分相距太，句子结构不紧凑。

4.琼岛东北部有“琼岛春阴”碑，为1751年建立。There is a stone tablet erected in 1751 in the northeast of Qiong Island, with ”Qiong Dao Chun Yin“(Spring Shade on the Qiong Island)written by Emperor Qian Long(1736-1796A.D.)engraved on it.译文中的“(Spring Shade on the Qiong Island)written by Emperor Qian Long(1736-1796A.D.)”为译者所加，为的是让读者进一步了解这块碑的珍贵之处，以引起读者的兴趣。

过去分词短语“engraved on it”修辞“Qiong Dao Chun Yin”。

5.附近风光秀丽，过去是燕京八景之一。This area, noted for its beautiful scenery, was counted as one of the eight outstanding views of Beijing.“noted”在这里不是过去分词，而是形容词，相当于“well-known”。

“燕京八景之一”也没有简单地译作“one of the eight views of Beijing”，而是在“views”前面加了一个词“outstanding”，因为普通的景色满目都是，文中提到的“八景”是特殊的景色。

6.海北岸有“五龙亭”，建于1602年，是封建皇帝钓鱼和看焰火的地方。On the north shore of the lake are the Five-Dragon Pavilions, built in 1602, where the emperors enjoyed fishing and watched fireworks.原文是“海北岸有”，译文不能译作“have”，而要译作“are”。整句译文是倒装句，主语是“the Five-Dragon Pavilions”，表地点的介词短语前置于句首。

7.“九龙壁”，建于1756年，全壁用五彩琉璃瓦砌成，两面各有蟠龙九条，姿态生动，反映了我国劳动人民的创造才能。Not far to the northeast stands the Nine-Dragon Screen, put up in 1756, which is made of colorful glazed tiles.With nine lively dragons on each side, it has proved the creativeness of the working people of China.原句较长，译文被处理成两句。译文中的“Not far to the northeast”为译者所加，借以说明景物的相对位置，免得孤立地介绍景物，显得单调。译文最后一句中的“Near there”也是如此。

译文中的“prove”意为：establish the genuineness of 确定„„之真实性，用以表达“反映”，紧扣原意。

32.目前，中国的粮食单产水平与世界粮食高产国家相比也是比较低的，中国要在短时间内达到粮食高产国家的水平难度较大，但经过努力是完全可以缩小差距的。„„通过改造低中产田、兴修水利、扩大灌溉面积、推广先进适用技术等工程和生物措施，可使每公顷产量提高1500公斤以上。

At present, China’s per unit area yield of grain is low compared with countries with high grain yields.It will be difficult for China to reach the level of countries with high grain production in a short period of time, but the gap can certainly be narrowed through efforts.The grain output per hectare can be increased by more than 1,500 kg through the upgrading of medium-and low-yield land, intensifying water-control projects, enlarging irrigated areas and spreading the use of advanced agrotechnology and taking biological measures.1.Saint Valentine's Day 2.in an instant马上 3.out of reach够不着 4.a matter of course 5.in need 理所当然的事 6.in this respect 在这个方面 7.as regards 8.the historic sites历史古迹.agonizing flashbacks痛苦的回忆 10.at least至少.暴洪flash-flooding 12.步行桥footbridge 13.高等教育higher education 14.外祖母maternal grandmother 15.散文集a collection of essays 16.中国少年儿童出版社the China Children Press 17.丝绸之路the Silk Road 18.儿童文学Children's Literature 19.童年生活childhood life 20.井冈山the Jinggang Mountains 21.原文：Young men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best things that life has to offer.如果青年人由于某种原因认为自己会在战斗中死去，从而无法享受生活中最美好的东西，因而感到痛苦，这是无可指责的.原文：The Suunynook footbridge connects Atwater with Griffith Park, spanning the Los Angeles River and the Golden State Freeway.桑尼努克步行桥横跨洛杉矶河和金州高速公路，连接着阿特瓦德区和格力菲公园。23.原文：Last year, on a simple Sunday, three days after Valentine's Day, after many consecutive days of steady downpour, the sun came out.去年，瓦伦廷节过后第三天，那是一个普通的星期天，连日下大雨，终于出了太阳。24.原文：Many children were playing close to the water, and we were stunned by their ignorance and daring.那一天，许多孩子在靠近水边的地方玩耍，他们那样大胆，不知道危险就在眼前，使我们非常吃惊。.原文：Unable to reach the boy safely from the shore, Earl stepped into the water.他在岸上安全的地方够不着那个孩子，于是就迈步往水里走去。26.原文：《心上的河流》写出了他对于小河流水的深情，这使我忆起我所热爱的无边的大海。

Reading his travel notes gave me great pleasure because they are so colorful and vivid that I felt I was actually there.29.原文：我常常立在这长案旁边，吃我的简单早餐——一包巧克力糖！

I would often stand at the narrow, long table, having my simple breakfastan indescribable color.And from then on until the next rains the earth dried and the streams stopped.Cracks appeared on the level ground.The Salinas River sank under its sand.The wind blew down the valley, picking up dust and straws, and grew stronger and harsher as it went south.It stopped in the evening.It was a rasping nervous wind, and the dust particles cut into a men's skin and burned his eyes.Men working in the fields wore goggles and tied handkerchiefs around their noses to keep the dirt out.The valley land was deep and rich, but the foothills wore only a skin of topsoil no deeper than the grass roots;and the farther up the hills you went, the thinner grew the soil, with flints sticking through, until at the brush line it was a kind of dry flinty gravel that reflected the hot sun blindingly.一到六月，草开始枯黄，山坡变成了褐色——其实也不能算褐色，而是一种难以形容的金红和桔黄的色泽。从那时候直到下次下雨为止，土地干燥，溪河断流。平地开始坼裂。萨利纳斯河渗到沙底下去了。风吹过河谷，刮起尘土和干草，风势越往南越凶，一般要到晚上才停息。刺耳的风声，叫人心烦，沙粒打在脸上生疼，眼睛都睁不开。在地里干活的人都得戴风镜，把手帕扎在脸上，蒙住鼻子。

河谷的泥土厚而肥沃，但是山脚的土层却薄得只够扎住草根；越往高处，土层越薄，硬石露了头；到了灌木都不生长的地方，只有干巴巴的硬卵石，反射出炙热炫目的阳光

32.这一淋可糟了！晚上发高烧，一会儿热，一会儿冷！脸上经得像抹了胭脂，周身疼，连翻身都疼，疼得像针扎！我想起来了：我人小，排队时常常被人挤出来，有些人又常常故意捣乱，工头举起鞭子就打，常常因为打别而捎带上我。人多呀！一鞭子抽下来一大片，被捎上了背上就是一条子青一条子紫的。这一病，发现被工头抽在身一的伤了！可疼坏我了！可是幸亏这回只病了一夜，第二天早晨就退烧了，穿上带着号的衣服就赶快上工了，虽然浑身酸软，可是不干活不行呀！晚上还得唱戏，一大家人都指着爸爸和我两个人挣钱吃饭呀！That drenching nearly did for me!1That evening I ran a fever, burning hot one moment and icy cold the next.My face was as red as if rouged, my whole body ached, and turning over in bed hurt ten being needled!I remembered: Because I'm young, people often jostle me out of the queue;and when some of them make trouble and the foreman whips them, he often lashes me too.In that crowd his whip falls on a whole lot of people, and it leaves blue and purple welts on your back.Now that I was ill I discovered the welts from his whip-they hurt so badly.But luckily I was only feverish one night, the next morning I felt well enough to put on my gown with the number and go to work.Though I still ached all over, I had to work.And that evening I had to act.The whole family looked to Father and me for food.10.‘ This is for you，’ Bill Morrow heard on many occasions he would never forget——such as when he was taken a boat down the Grand Canal and every boat that passed sounded its siren in salutation.Or when he shown over the great Nanjing bridge，built where the ferries used to carry trains across the Changjiang River.He was given a chair and asked to wait a little as darkness came on，then suddenly the whole bridge was outlined in lights.“这是为你安排的。” 这句话比尔。莫诺听到过好几次，每一次都令他难以忘怀。有一次，他沿大运河乘船顺水而下，途经的每艘船都鸣笛致敬。还有一次，他参观雄伟的南京长江大桥——以前没桥时，要靠轮渡托载火车横渡长江。夜幕渐渐降临了，他被安排坐下，并被告知稍坐等候，然后突然间，整个桥身被灯光勾画出了一个清晰的轮廊。

11.The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher，Anne Mansfield Sulliven，came to me.I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrast between the two lives which it connects.在我的记忆里，安妮。曼斯匪尔德。沙利文教师来的那一天，是我一生中最重要的日子。从这一天开始，我的生活与以前迥然不同，一想到这一点，我就感到非常兴奋。12.On the afternoon of that eventful day，I stood on the porch，dumb，expectant.那天下午，我一声不响，怀着期待的心情站在门廊里。

13.Have you been at sea in a dense fog，when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in，and the great ship，tense and anxious，groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line and you waited with beating heart for something to happen？ I was like that ship before my education began，only I was without compass or sounding-line，and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was.“ light！Give me light！” was the wordless cry of my soul，and the light of love shone on me in that very hour.不知你是否有过这样的经历——在海上航行遇上了大雾，周围一片白，好像着实把你关在一个黑暗的地方，大船上的人又紧张又着急，一面用铅锤探测深浅，一面向岸边慢慢驶去，你的心也怦怦直跳，生怕出事。我在开始受教育之前，就像这样一条船，只是没有罗盘，没有测探绳，也无法知道离海港有多远。“光明！给我光明！” 这就是发自我内心深处的无言的呼唤，也就在这时候，爱心的光芒照到了我的身上。

14.Someone took it，and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to reveal all things to me，and，more than all things else，to love me.有个人握住了我的手，于是我被抱了起来，紧紧地抈在了她的怀里。正是她来到我的身边，将一切展切在我面前，更重要的是，是她将爱带给了我。.17.That was because I saw everything with the strange，new sight that had come to me.On entering the door I remembered the doll I had broken.I felt my way to hearth and picked up the pieces，I tried vainly to put them together.那是因为我正用一种刚刚获得的全新而奇特的视角来看待一切事物。进屋时，我想起了被我弄坏的那个娃娃。我摸索着来到壁炉前，拾起那些碎片，试图将它们拼接在一起，却没办到。

18.it would have been difficult to find a happier child than I was as I lay in my crib at the close of that eventful day and lived over the joys it had brought me，and for the first time longed for a new day to come.当那感概万千的一天快要结束时，我躺在自己的小床里，感受这一天带给我的那些快乐，我觉得没有人比我更幸福了。一生中第一次，我期待着新一天的来临。

19.一切旧的传统观念，一切阻止社会进步和人性发展的不合理的制度。

All outmoded traditional thinking； any irrational system which obstructs social progress or human development.20.我觉得有一根鞭子在抽打我的心，又觉得仿佛有什么鬼魂借我的笔为自己伸冤一样。

I felt as if my mind was being whipped，as if a ghost had commandeered my pen and was writing to redress the injustices it had suffered.21.另一个地方

On another occasion.22.长得好看的人用不着浓妆艳抹，而我的文章就像一个丑八怪，不打扮，看起来倒还顺眼些。

Physically attractive people don‘t need heavy make-up.Though my writing resembles an ugly monster，it actually looks a little better without any embellishment.22.我最恨那些盗名欺世，欺骗读者的谎言。

This means I oppose fabrication，deception and flowery language.What I hate most are those glory-seeking writers who deceive the public with their lies.23.就学习英语而言，有三个方面值得注意：拼法正确，合乎用法——一个词怎么用，和哪个词连用，很有讲究。句子平稳—合乎语法。

Unit2 HISTORY

1.The country was a place where men worked from dawn to dark，and the labourer lived not in the sun，but in poverty and darkness.What aids there were to lighten labour were immemorial，like the mill，which was already ancient in Chaucer‘s time.The industrial Revolution began with such machines； the millwrights were the engineers of the coming age.James Brindley of Staffordashire started his self-made career in 1733 by working at mill wheels，at the age of seventeen，having been born poor in a village.在农村，人们从早到晚都得干活，劳动者并不是沐浴在阳光下，而在生活在贫困和黑暗之中，那么帮助减轻劳动的机械都不知从哪个年代就有了。比如磨坊，在乔叟的时候就已经是古老的了。而工业革命就是从这些机械开始的。修造磨坊的匠人就是开创新时代的工程师。斯塔福郡的詹姆斯。布林斯雷，出身于一个贫苦的农村家庭；一七三三年，他十七岁，就着手改良磨坊的车轮，从而开始了他那自我奋斗的生涯。

9.It is not alone： it forms one of a triad of revolutions，of which the other two were the American Revolution that started in 1775，and the French Revolution that started in 1789.It may seem strange to put into the same pocket an industrial revolution and two political revolutions.工业革命不是孤立的，它是当时三大革命之一，另外两次是美国革命和法国革命，分别始于1775年和1789年。将一次工业革命和两次政治革命相提并论，似乎有些奇。

The May 4th Movement was an anti-imperialist as well as an anti-feudal movement.Its outstanding historical significance is to be seen in a feature which was absent from the Revolution of 1911，namely，its thorough and uncompromising opposition to imperialism as well as to feudalism.20.五四运动所进行的文化革命则是彻底地反对封建文化的运动，自有中国历史以来，还没有过这样伟大而彻底的文化革命。

UNIT 5 CULTURE

2.it does this every year in Southern California； at least that‘s what they told me last year when I marveled at the relentless determination of the rain.加利福尼亚南部，年年如此；去年，雨无情地下个不停。我表示惊异，人们就是这样对我说的。

6.Each day we make choices that affect our lives and，sometimes，the lives of others.每一天我们都要做出许多选择，大部分是为自己，有的也为别人。

7.Somehow our path took us toward the park，across the footbridge high above the rolling water of the Los Angeles River.不知怎的，我们就踏上了通向公园的小路。

19.Animals become indifferent to their young as soon as their young can look after themselves，but human beings，owing to the length of infancy，find this difficult.动物，一旦它们的后代能够自己照料自己，它们就不管了；但是人，由于抚养子女的时间长，是难以这样做的。

20.在我国，从二十年代开始从事翻译工作，从五十年代乃至八十年代还在讨论翻译问题的，大概只有两个人，一个是郭沫若，一个就是茅盾。

21.I think that a successful old age is easiest for those who have strong impersonal interests involving appropriate activities.我认为，如果老年人对个人以外的事情怀有强烈的兴趣，并参加适当的活动，我们的晚年是最容易过得好的，他们的晚年才会是一生收获的季节。

22.Yong men who have reason to fear that they will be killed in battle may justifiably feel bitter in the thought that they have been cheated of the best things that life has to offer.But in old man who has known human joys and sorrows，and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do，to fear of death is somewhat object and ignoble.年青时有这种想法是可以理解的。年青人害怕阵亡疆场，而且一想到人生最美好的一切就这么被葬送了，恐惧的心情会更加严重。这种恐惧无可厚非。但作为老年人，人生的悲欢离合你已都经历过了，自己要做的事情也都做了，这时若还恐惧死亡，那就有些让人瞧不起了。

23.An individual human existence should be like a river—— small at first，narrowly contained within its banks，and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls.Gradually the river grows wider，the banks recede，the waters flow more quietly，and in the end，without any visible break，they become merged in the sea，and painlessly lose their individual being.一个人的一生应像一条河——起初窄窄的，夹在两岸之中，急速地流动阒，冲过岩石，冲下瀑布，渐渐地，河面变宽了，两岸变得越来越远，河水静静地流动着，直到最后，再也没有什么阻碍了，因为这时，你已融入了大海，毫无痛苦地结束了自己单独存在的那一段历程。

24.如今，能为他的这本散文集作序，我觉得很荣幸。

I find it a great honour to be asked to write a preface to this collection of his essays.25.<心上的河流>写出了他对于小河流水的深情，这使我忆起死回我所热爱的无边的大海。

In “ A River at Heart”，he expressed his deep feelings towards the flowing water of a creek，which reminded me of my own love for the boundless，vast sea.26.这几年，我因行动不便，整天过着“井蛙”的无聊生活，读了这游记，绚丽生动得如经其境，给了我很大的快乐。

In recent years，unable to move about easily，I have been leading a dull life like that of “a frog at the bottom of a well”。Reading his travel notes gave me great pleasure because they are so colourful and vivid that I felt I was actually there.27.如同旧梦重温一般，我回忆起1936年在伦敦的3个星期，在昼夜看不到日，月，星三光的浓雾之中，参观了大英博物馆，敏纳斯教学——访问了一些英国朋友。

Just like going through old dreams，I remembered the three weeks I had spent in London in 1936.during that time，when the sun，the moon and the stars were hidden behind the thick fog day and night，I visited the British Museum and the Westminster and called on my English friends.28.因为住处离罗浮宫很近，我就整个上午“泡”在罗浮宫里。

As I was very close to the Louvre，I would loiter in the palace the whole morning.29.吃过早餐，就出来坐在宫门台附上，欣赏宫门口那一大座花坛，花坛里栽的是红，黄，白，紫四色分明的盛开的郁金色。

One of my favourite European countries falls on Italy which is built of stone.31.佛罗伦萨给我留下的，除了美术馆里的雕像和壁画之外，还有一座座府弟墙壁上的灯座，每座灯下都有一只拴马的铁环，是聚会或宴客时拴马用的，十分别致。

Things I can remember in Florence are the statues and murals in the Art Gallery as well as the lampstands on the walls of each house.Under each lampstand，there is q unique iron ring used to tie the horses when parties or banquets are held.UNIT 6 LITERATURES

第四篇：英语翻译总结

翻译总结

一 翻译中运用的理论

通常我们所熟悉的，严复的三字标准“信、达、雅”（Faithfulness, Expressiveness and Elegance）。用今天的话来说，“信”就是忠实准确，“达”就是通顺流畅，“雅”就是文字古雅。严复的“信、达、雅”被公认为翻译标准，其影响深远。它对商务英语的翻译同样指导作用，商务英语要求语言严谨、准确就要做到“信”，同时在“信”的基础上追求“达、雅”。

理解（comprehension）可分为广义理解和狭义理解。广义理解指对原文作者的个人、原文产生的时代背景、作品的内容以及原文读者对该作品的反映。狭义的理解仅指对原作文本的理解。这中理解主要包括语法分析、语义分析、语体分析和语篇分析（grammatical analysis, semantic analysis, stylistic analysis and text analysis）。理解是翻译成功与否的先决条件和重要步骤，务必正确可靠，杜绝谬误。

语义分析（Semantic Analysis）是语言分析的一个分支，说明处在一定语境中，按照一定次序排列的词项之间的语义关系，探索词项的意义。把握好原语的全部意义，是翻译成效的关键。

翻译实践最基本方法是直译和意译。直译（literal translation）：为了把原文的意思完整的表达出来，基本保留原文的语言形式（词语、句子结构、修辞手法、民族和地方特色）的方式，做到在内容和形式两方面都忠实于原作。意译（liberal translation）：在直译不能忠实于原文意义的情况下，需要译者摆脱原文形式的束缚，用符合译入语语言规范的方式重现原文意义的翻译方式。

释义是指舍弃原文中的具体形象，直接解释出原文的意思。在翻译一些具有鲜明民族色彩的词语（如成语、典故）时，如果直译不能使译入语读者明白意思，而加注又使译文太噜嗦，并且原文重意不重形、重意不重典时，可采用释义法。它既可使译文简洁明了，又不损害对原文信息的传达。

增词：在译文的词量上作适当的增加，使译文既能忠实地传达原文的内容和风格，又能符合译入语的表达习惯。增词一般出于三种考虑：语法需要，意义需要，修辞需要。减词：将原文中需要而译文中又不需要的词语省去。

句子成分转换是指英语中的某一句子成分译成汉语时转换成另一种句子成分。句子成分转换在主语、谓语、宾语、定语、状语和补语之间展开。由于英语和汉语语言习惯的不同，在表达的语序上是由差异的，语序的不同也导致了成分的变化，所以翻译时会遇到句子成分的转换。二 翻译心得技巧

我谈谈具体翻译时的一些技巧: 大家大概都应预先清楚明白自己专业方向的国内牛人，在这里我强烈建议我们仔细看完这些头上长角的人物的中英文文章，这对你在专业方向的英文和中文互译水平提高有很大帮助。

通常我们最蹩脚的实质上是写英文论文，而非看英文论文，但话说回来我们最终提高还是要从看英文论文开始。提到会看，我想它是有窍门的，总结如下：

1、把不同方面的论文分夹存放，在看论文时，对论文必须做到看完后完全明白（你重视的论文）；懂得其某部分讲了什么（你需要参考的部分论文），在看明白这些论文的情况下，我们大家还得紧接着做的工作就是把论文中你觉得非常巧妙的表达写下来，或者是你论文或许能用到的表达摘记成本。这个本将是你以后的财富。你写论文时再也不会为了一些表达不符合西方表达模式而烦恼。

2、把摘记的内容自己编写成检索，这个过程是我们对文章再回顾，而且是对你摘抄的经典妙笔进行梳理的重要阶段。你有了这个过程。写英文论文时，将会有一种信手拈来的感觉。许多文笔我们不需要自己再翻译了。当然前提是你梳理的非常细，而且中英文对照写的比较详细。

3、最后一点就是我们往大成修炼的阶段了，万事不是说成的，它是做出来的。写英文论文也就像我们小学时开始学写作文一样，你不练笔是肯定写不出好作品来的。所以在此我鼓励大家有时尝试着把自己的论文强迫自己写成英文的，一遍不行，可以再修改。最起码到最后你会很满意。我想我是这么觉得的。

其实，不管是表达还是思维，我们在学习英语的时候一定要多下苦工，要在不断学习的过程中提高自己的英语能力，这可以说是学习英语的前提。英语的学习，是一个长期积累的过程，在这个学习过程中，我们一定要掌握一些英语学习的方法和技巧，让英语学习变得更加有趣，这样可以提高大家的英语能力，培养良好的英语学习习惯。
