第一篇：短文翻译

When we look at famous people, especially movie stars, their glamorous lives seem far removed from anything average people experience in their lives.Yet, a deep passion and commitment to their dream is a common thread that runs through each of their stories.Another common thread many of them share is using their celebrity and fame to focus attention and resources on the world’s citizens and populations.Indeed, they often exhibit, in differing ways, personality traits that deserve our admiration and applause.当我们看到名人，尤其是电影明星时，他们迷人富有魅力的生活似乎远离任何普通人的生活经历。然而,激情和对梦想的承诺是一条主线,贯穿他们的每一个故事。他们共享的另一个常见的主线，是利用他们在世界范围公民和人群中的名望和影响力资源。事实上,他们经常在不同方面表现出的人格特质,都值得我们的钦佩和掌声。

2、文公之时，宰臣上炙而发绕之。文公召宰人而谯之，曰：“女欲寡人之哽邪？

奚为以发绕炙？”宰人首再拜，请曰：“臣有死罪三：援砺砥刀，利犹干将也。切

肉，肉断而发不断，臣之罪一也；援木而贯脔，而不见发，臣之罪二也；奉炽炉，炭烬赤红，而炙熟而发不烧，臣之罪三也。堂下得微有疾臣者乎？”公曰：“善”。

2007 English-Chinese:

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

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

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

Himalayas thirty miles of the left window.Out the right window, the view is of three or four high terraced ridges giving sudden way to the plains of India beyond.Three were few roads visible below, mosttransportation in Nepal being by foot along ancient trails that connect and bind the country together.There is also a network of dirt airstrips, which was fortunate for me, as I had no time for the two-and-a-half week trek to my destination.I was no a flight to the local airport.飞机飞越尼泊尔上空时。你很容易天马行空起来，假想自己很渺小----像只蝴蝶----在建筑师所使用的某个三维地形图上方漂浮着，在这里，地形图一圈圈的轮廓线变成了环绕高耸的山脊成阶梯状的稻田。尼泊尔是个小国。我们的飞机在12000英尺的高空向东飞去。从左边的机窗望去，你能清晰地看到30英里开外的高耸的喜马拉雅山的耀眼的白色蜃景。

靠右边的机窗外是三、四条成梯状的高耸山脊，再往远处突然之间成了印度平原。飞机下面看不这几条公路。尼泊尔的交通方式以步行为主，人们沿着连接整个国家的古老小径行走着。尼泊尔也有一个土筑的飞机场网络，这对我来说很幸运，因为我没时间长途跋涉两周半的时间到达我的目的地。我在飞往当地机场的飞机上。

2012年英语专八汉译英题目

痛苦纠聚心中，眉心发烫发热，胸口郁闷难展，胃里一股气冲喉而上。院长说这孩子发育迟缓时，她更是心头无绪，她在育生所待的房里来回踱步，这房里还有其他小孩，每人一张围着栅栏的床，整个房间只有一扇窗，窗外树影婆娑，就让这孩子留下来吧，这里有善心的神父和修女，这里将来会扩充为有医疗作用的看护中心，这是留住孩子最好的地方。这孩子是她的秘密，她将秘密留在这树林掩映的建筑里。出处：台湾作家蔡素芬《烛光盛宴》

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

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

choice by far, for there are kind priests and nuns in this place which may also be renovated into a Medicare center”.The child was her secret which would be kept in the buildings behind the woods.2012专八英译汉真题及参考答案

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

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

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

government has been quite successful in reducing the supply of street drugs.As fields are burned and contraband(违禁品)confiscated, the price of street drugs has skyrocketed to a point where cheap alternatives have begun to compete in the marketplace.Unfortunately, the cheap alternatives are even more harmful than the illicit drugs they replace.然而上述政策反而引发了更多的校园暴力。一些大学生先前在夜总会的酒吧买醉，处于保安人员严密的监控之下(酒吧老板们为了保住自己卖酒的牌照也不会允许过激的事情发生)。现在，大学生们躲到他们互助会会所和公寓中酗酒,对自己饮酒的数量或行为都不再控制。政府在打击非法毒品方面采取的措施同样适得其反。近年来,联邦政府已经有效地抑制了街头毒品买卖。警方捣毁了很多毒品种植地，没收了违禁品，导致毒品的价格暴涨，那些便宜的替代品因此也有了竞争力。糟糕的是，那些便宜的替换品带来的危害甚至比他们所替代的毒品更大。

第四篇：英语短文翻译

Should I be allowed to make my own decisions?

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

Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star.He is on his school running team and has always wanted to be a professional athlete.However, his parents won’t allow him to train as much as he would like to.“Of course, we want to see Liu Yu achieve his dreams,” says Mr Liu, “and we know how much he loves running.That’s great, and my wife and I have watched him in every one of his races.We have nothing against running!But we do think that our son needs to be realistic.Now that he is getting older, he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t become a professional runner in the end.许多青年有他们自己的爱好。但这些爱好可能有时能在学习中用到，并且父母担心他们的儿童在学校的表现。青少年应该去做他们所喜爱的事情，您是否同意呢？

刘雨，从山东来的十五年男孩，是一个跑步明星。他是在他的学校田径队并且想当一位专业运动员。但是，他的父母不允许他训练。“当然，我们也希望刘雨实现他的梦想”，刘先生说，“并且我们也知道他多么热爱跑步。那是美好的，并且我妻子和我计划了他的未来。我们并没有反对跑步!但我们认为我们的儿子必须接受现实。因为他会变老，他需要考虑以后发生什么，如果他在最后不能成为冠军。

第五篇：短文中英文翻译[范文模版]

攻势已经持续了三天，但是我们并没有取得多少进展。师长(division commander)命令我们营(battalion)夜晚绕到敌人后方发起突然袭击。然而，要绕到敌人后方，我们必须越过一片沼泽地(marshland)。我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。我们营长决定冒一下险。所幸由于寒冷天气沼泽地都结上了冰，我们于天亮前到达目的地并从敌人后方发起进攻。这一下扭转了战局。敌人没有戒备，不久便投降了。

The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground.Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong/fierce/stiff resistance.The division

commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack.To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud.Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble.We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties.By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over.Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear.This turned the tide of the battle.The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.汽车自从发明以来使交通运输发生了革命性的变化，永远地改变了人们的生活、旅行和办事的方式。但另一方面，也带来了危害，尤其是公路死亡事故。然而，现今由于计算机技术和电子传感器的使用，有可能消除发生的大多数交通事故。例如，装在你汽车上的电子传感器能检测到空气中的酒精雾汽并拒绝启动引擎。同样传感器还能通过接受在轨道上运行的卫星发出的信号监测器路况并大大减少你陷入交通拥堵的可能性。

Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business.On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities.However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents.For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine.They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.常言道，好的开端是成功的一半。在求职时，求职者事先做好充分的准备是非常重要的。我认为，事先做不做准备显然会影响求职者的成功机会。

我的一位朋友在一家大型计算机软件公司供职，年薪十万美元左右。他根据自己的经历告诉我，那些面试未来雇员的具有录用决定权的人喜欢有充分准备的人。那些没有在了解未来雇主方面尽全力的人很难有成功的希望。

Well begun, half done,as the saying goes.It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment.From my standpoint, whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a difference in his chance of success.I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of100,000 dollars a years in a large computer software company.He told me that from his own experience the decision makers who interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared.Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible don’t have much of a chance of success.全球化对中国年轻人具有重大影响。例如，年轻的农民正在大规模流向城市寻找工作。而对那些想出国深造或进外企工作的年轻人来说，英语变得越来越重要。另一方面，许多海外学子近年来回归祖国，因为他们看好中国经济的长期增长前景。因特网加强了中国年轻人和其他地方年轻人的联系。他们跟踪最新的潮流，模仿外国的时尚。他们中一些人似乎不在乎中国的传统美德，更不要说发扬光大，这使得有人忧虑中国传统文化会不会有一天终将消

失。

Globalization has great implications for young Chinese.For example, young farmers are

moving on a large scale to urban areas to look for jobs.And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important.At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in

recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy.The internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere.They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions.Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.就我来说，我发现外表往往是靠不住的。譬如，要是你仅凭外表去判断诸如爱德华·海德·伯顿这样的人，你就错了。外表上，伯顿像是个表里一致的人。他个子很小，满头白发，有着一双温和、蔚蓝的眼睛，文雅且坦率。然而，他原来却十分的残忍。他侮辱和愚弄穷困潦倒的伦尼，让他去做那样的蠢事。更让人吃惊的是，他对伦尼的死全然冷漠无情。毫无疑问，他是个铁石心肠的家伙。

For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive.For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton.In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece.He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid.Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel.He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture.What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.当今我们处于持续的压力之下，要工作更长的时间，要生产更多，拥有更多。许多人有一种错误的认识：幸福就在于拼命地干，使劲地赚。

许多妇女今天感到同样的压力，要工作，要出人头地，而与此同时，又要养育子女，承担起家庭责任的负担。

研究表明，工作狂(workaholism)往往使我们与家人的关系疏远。它会迫使我们长时间辛苦劳作，仅留微乎其微的时间与我们的亲人呆在一起、交流感情。家庭成员间的亲密关系在此过程中注定要消亡。

Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more.Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families.It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and

emotionally available to our loved ones.Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.今天，在地震袭击我的家乡很久以后，我仍然能历历在目地回想起我与父母逃出来时所看到的情景。马路对面的房子就在我们的眼前倒塌，瓦砾四处乱飞，呛人的尘云遮住了太阳。惊恐的人们哭叫着四处奔跑。

如今那一场悲惨事件已过去多年，旧城的废墟上已耸立起一座新城。人们在小镇广场上建起了一个纪念碑，以怀念那些灾难中的死者。看来人们心中的创伤已愈合，但对此事的记

忆将不会消失。

Today, long after the earthquake shook/hit my home town, I can still recall, in crystal detail, what I

saw as I ran out of my home with my parents.The building just across the street toppled right before our eyes, debris flew everywhere and a cloud of choking dust blotted out the sun.Horror-stricken people ran in all directions, crying and screaming.Now, many years after that tragic event, a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one.Inthe town square, a memorial has been built to remember those killed in the disaster.It seems thewounds in people’s hearts have healed, but the memory will linger.上星期三，我和我的同学卡罗林一起游览了周庄，那是一个四周环水的著名城镇。当我们到达镇上时，卡罗林激动地向她看见的第一座桥飞奔过去，然后便在那里高声唱了起来。突然她的嗓音静了下来，原来她发现自己惊动了离我们不远处的一群鸭子。当时卡罗林太想乘船了，于是我们决定坐船游览该镇。卡罗林跟河里所有的动物时而高声、时而低语地说着话并且不停地瞎忙乎。而我则默默地看着船儿在水面上轻轻地滑过。虽然我们没有见到任何壮观的景物，我们享受了在这个远离大城市喧嚣的城镇里度过的每一分钟。

周庄是值得游览的。如果有时间。我还想再次去那里。

Last Wednesday, my classmate Caroline and I visited Zhouzhuang, a well-known town looped all around by streams.When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there.Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us.Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride, we decide to tour the town by boat.Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in silence.Though we did not see anything

spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city.Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I’d like to go there again.
