Should Parents Send Their Kids to Art Classes?
Nowadays, many parents send their children to various art classes, where the kids are expected to learn how to paint, dance, sing or play musical instruments.Some people firmly support these parents.Since the competiton among the kids for places in famous primary schools and middle schools is fierce, they see an artistic talent of the kids as an entra advantage in the competition.Furthermore, they claim, even if the kids do not do well in art, the art learning experience may prove useful for their future life.However, others seriously doubt this.They complain that, for those kids who do well in art, art classes have taken up so much of their leisure time that many are leading a very stressful childhood.For those who have no interest in such classes, they are just a waste of time.In my opinion, parents should encourage their kids to take art classes but at the same time have anopen mind about this issue.If the kid is keen on art,art classes are sure to be the first choice.But if the kid hates it,he should not be forced to take them.写作模板: Some people firmly support(现象).(支持的第一个理由)Furthermore, they claim,(支持的第二个理由)。

Due Attention Should Be Given to the Study of Chinese
Nowadadys, while an increasing number of people are busy learning foreign languages, the attention to the study of our mother tongue is on the decline.Should such a trend continue, it would definitely led to an undesirable result in the long run.The reasons for our ignorance of the study of Chinese are obvious.Firstly, globalization plays a major role in the prevalence of the nowadays internationally used language-English, distracting us from studying our own language.Among college students, the influence of western lifestyle is especially strong-the young are either not interested or even have no time to care for our own culture,let alone the language.Secondly, our schools are not attaching any importance to the education of Chinese.The lesson hours of Chinese are far fewer than those of English, and English has now even crowded into the teaching syllabus of primary schools,occupying the time that pupils should otherwise spend studying Chinses.In order to change the situation, efforts from governments and schools alike should be made.More Chinese lessons are essential, and even more importantly, students’ awareness of the study of our own language should be raised.After all,the promtion of our language is the key to the prosperoty of our nation’s culture.写作模板:

My View on University Ranking
In recent years, university ranking becomes very popular, especially among high school students.They use such ranking as the first criterion to choose their future academic institutes.However people’s opinions vary on this issue.Some believe university ranking is essential in indicating the quality of a university, while others dismiss it as misleading.As far as I’m concerned, university ranking could of offer some hints while it is by no means the only standard to judge the quality of a university.On the one hand, unviersity ranking helps create a competitive atmosphere in higher education, encouraging the institutions to improve their teaching and research.On the other hand, the ranking criterion itself might be flawed.There is hardly a single and universal standard to weigh colleges of different specialties.In a word, though university ranking may help to indicate the gap between universities, thus encouraging the less competent ones to catch up, more scientific criteria to rank them are yet to be adopted.写作模板:
In recent years,(社会现象)becomes very popular, espcially among(特别人群).(进一步描述社会现象).However, people’s opinions vary on this issue.As far as I’m concerned,...could offer some hints while it is by no means the only standard to...据我看来,……有一些提示作用,但绝不会是……的唯一标准。

The Way to Success Abraham Lincoln once said: “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” This famous remark sheds some light on the way to success.A good preparation is the prerequisite for success.This has been confirmed by numerous evidences.Perhaps there’s no better example than the case of the Olympics-either the hosting country or the athletes must take years of preparation for the one-month competition.The fact that years of research come ahead of minutes of the successful launching of the satellites serves as another case in point.Moreover, htstory abounds with great men as Abraham Lincoln who believe that “A beard well lathered is half shaved”.It is advisable that we should attach great importance to thorough preparation.Well begun is half done, so get fully prepared before you put your hand to a task.写作模板:

医生该如何学习诚实对待他们的病人呢?进行更多关于如何与病人沟通其健康状况的培训是极其重要的——尤其是在告知(deliver)坏消息时。如果检查结果对病人的健康没有影响的话,医生们可能不会把略有异常的实验室检查结果告诉给焦虑的病人。相反地,医生也许会夸大(exaggerate)正常的结果,希望能刺激病人更好地照顾自己。而病人们也需要清楚并确定他们所期望的医生的诚实度。毕竟,即便在医生的办公室里,交流也是双向的。参考译文:
How can doctors learn to be honest with their patients? More training about how to communicate with patients about their health is critical—especially when it comes to delivering bad news.Doctors may not tell the anxious patients the slightly abnormal results of a lab test, if it has no impact on the patient’s health.Conversely, they might exaggerate a normal result in hopes of motivating a patient to take better care of himself.Patients also need to be clear and certain about how honest they want their doctors to be.Communication is a two-way street, after all, even in the doctor’s office.词句点拨
1、极其重要的 critical
2、尤其是在告知(deliver)坏消息时 when it comes to delivering bad news.(注:注意come to的用法。come to sth.其中的一个意思就是“当达到某种状况(尤指不好的状况)时”。)
3、如果检查结果对病人的健康没有影响的话,医生们可能不会把略有异常的实验室检查结果告诉给焦虑的病人。Doctors may not tell the anxious patients the slightly abnormal results of a lab test, if it has no impact on the patient’s health.(注:注意这句话的翻译顺序,及检查结果重复出现时,翻译时可译为it。)

信用卡(credit card)是由银行发行的卡,持卡人可以凭卡赊购(buy on credit)商品和服务。使用信用卡最大的好处就是能给持卡人带来极大的方便。人们可以 使用信用卡赊购他们需要的东西,并在一段时期内付淸欠款,而不必随身携带大量的现金。但如此的便利也带来了一些问题,如恶意透支(malicious overdraft)。还会剌激使用者超前消费,容易产生月光族。在消费的时候,使用信用卡会促使消费者更加冲动地购物,甚至购买一些平时不怎么用的商品。参考译文:
A credit card is a card issued by a bank,allowing its holder to buy goods and services on credit.The most obvious advantage of credit card is the huge convenience it brings to card holders.People can use the cards to buy what they want on credit and pay off the debt over a period of time instead of carrying a large sum of cash with them.But such convenience also brings such problems as malicious overdraft and overconsumption which will easily reduce the card users to“moonlight group”.When shopping,consumers with credit cards will buy goods more impetuously.They will even buy something that is not often used in daily life.词句点拨
1.赊购商品和服务:赊购可用短语buy...on credit来表达。故此处可译为buy goods and services on credit。2.最大的好处:“大的好处”即“明显的好处”,故此处可译为the most obvious advantage。其中obvious意为“显著的”。3.但如此的便利也带来了一些问题,如恶意透支…:可译为But such convenience also brings such problems as malicious overdraft"其中,使用“such+n.+as...”这个结构可以达到清晰列举事例的效果。例如,我们买了苹果、香蕉、葡萄等水果,即We bought such fruits as apples,bananas,grapes,etc.4.恶意透支和超前消费:分别可译为名词短语malicious overdraft和over-consumption。

地球表面超过70%是水,水无疑是地球上最宝贵的自然资源。若非这些看似毫无价值的氢氧化合物(compound of oxygen and hydrogen),地球上的生命将不复存在,因为万物的生长繁荣都依存于此。尽管人类承认这个现实,但是我们对此漠视,依然在污染我们的江河湖海。久而久之,地球确实深受其害,生物正以惊人的速度死亡。除了无辜生命的死亡外,我们的饮用水和水上娱乐活动也收到了极大的影响。为了应对水污染,我们必须理解症结所在,并参与解决。

Comprising over 70% of the Earth’s surface, water is undoubtedly the most precious natural resource that exists on our planet.Without the seemingly invaluable compound of oxygen and hydrogen, life on Earth would be non-exist: it is essential for everything on our planet to grow and prosper.Although we as humans recognize this fact, we disregard it by polluting our rivers, lakes, and oceans.Subsequently, we are slowly but surely harming our planet to the point where organisms are dying at a very alarming rate.In addition to innocent organisms dying off, our drinking water has become greatly affected as is our abilities to use water for recreational purposes.In order to combat water pollution, we must understand the problems and become part of the solution.在当今社会,相差三岁,就会有“沟”,即所谓的:“三岁一代沟”。以前,在人们的思维里,代沟(generation gap)所表示的时间长度是10到20年。而到了21世纪,随着全国各地的经济发展,人们文化知识的增长,思想意识的提髙,每个人的个性化和自我意识逐渐增强,人与人之间的交流出现了障碍,人与人之间的想法、观点出现了分歧,很难找到共鸣(resonance)。这种现象与经济发达程度有关,经济越发达的地方,代沟的时间差距越小。参考译文:
In modern society,there will be a generation gap if the gap of ages reaches 3 years.This is the so-called“Each three-year age gap,one generation gap”.In the past,people thought that generation gap appeared when the age gap reached 10 to 20 years.But in the 21st century,with the national economic development,the growth of people's cultural knowledge and the improvement of their thought and consciousness,people's individualization and self-awareness have gradually been strengthened.Communication barriers among people appear;ideas and viewpoints begin to differ from person to person,making it hard for one to find resonance with other people.This phenomenon is related to the level of economic development-the more developed a place is,the narrower the age gap will be.词句点拨
1.相差三岁,就会有“沟”:这里的“沟”指代沟。
2.三岁一代沟:可译Each three-year age gap,one generation gap,意为“每差三岁,就有代沟”。英文译成对仗的形式显得较为工整。
3.思想意识的提高:可译为the improvement of thoughts and consciousness。
4.每个人的个性化和自我意识逐渐增强:可译为people's individualization and self-awareness have gradually been strengthened。
5.很难找到共鸣:该句其实是“交流出现了障碍”、“想法、观点出现了分歧”的结果,故译为非谓语形式making it hard for one to find resonance with other people作结果状语。6.经济越发达的地方,代沟的时间差距越小:翻译时可使the more…the more…句式,即the more developed a place is,the narrower the age gap will be。
打车难已经成为大城市人们生活中较为普遍的问题。城市人口规模的扩大,人类社会活动的不断多元(diversification)化都增加了对出租车的需求。随着城市交通拥堵状况不断加剧,为避免堵车影响收人,上下班高峰时段很多司机不愿意跑拥堵路段和主城区,导致市民在一些交通枢纽、商业中心、医院附近很难打到出租车。城市建设影响了出租车的使用效率。出租车行业不规范,拒载行为屡屡发生,这也是导致打车难的人为因素 参考译文:
It has been a common problem in large city residents' life that it's hard to take a taxi.The increase of urban population and diversification of social activities make the demand for taxi rise.As the traffic jam becomes worse in cities,to guarantee personal income, many taxi drivers refuse to drive on busy roads and main urban areas, which makes it difficult for many citizens to take a taxi near some transportation junctions, commercial centers and hospitals.City construction affects the efficiency of taxi.Being not standard in the taxi industry and taxi drivers' often refusing to take passengers are the human factors that make it difficult to take a taxi.词句点拨
1.打车难:可译为it's hard to take a taxi,作为problem的同位语,意义表达清楚自然。
2.增加了对出租车的需求:可译为make the demand for taxi rise。
3.为避免堵车影响收入:可灵活地译为to guarantee personal income。采用逆向译法,上下文反复出现“堵车”这个词,所以可以省略。
4.出租车行业不规范,拒载行为屡屡发生:这里是说明原因,为了句式简明,可以处理为动名词和独立主格的形式,直接充当句子主语。
5.人为因素:可译为human factor。
闻名于世的丝绸之路是一系列连接东西方的路线。丝绸之路延伸6,000多公里,得名于古代中国的丝绸贸易。丝绸之路上的贸易在中国、南亚、欧洲和中东文明发展中发挥了重要作用。正是通过丝绸之路,中国的造纸、火药、指南针、印刷术等四大发明才被引介到世界各地。同样,中国的丝绸、茶叶和瓷器(porcelain)也传遍全球。物质文化的交流是双向的,欧洲也通过丝绸之路出口各种商品和植物,满足中国市场的需求。

1.加速节能产业的发展:“节能产业”可译为energy saving industry。2.国民经济的支柱产业:可译为a pillar of the national economy。
3.承诺要推进技术创新,扩大人们对节能产品的需求,推动环保服务产业的发展:此处“承诺”可译为vow;“推进”可翻译为spur;“妒大”可翻译为 expand;“推动”可翻译为boost。

【解析】
1.专门的机构:可译为special organization。
2.中国青年创业国际计划旨在帮助年轻人进行创业:“中国青年创业国际计划”是专有名词,译为Youth Business China;“创业”就是“开创一番事业”,因此可译为start a business。
3.跟进国际商业领域的新发展:“跟进”可用keep track of表达,“国际商业领域”可翻译为internationalcommercial areas。【参考答案】

(二)为了制止不文明的行为(uncivilized behavior),有人提议将这种行为实名曝光。他们提出以下理由:首先,因为害怕被曝光,人们会提高自觉性并注意自己的行为。另外,如果不文明行为被置于人们监督下,会有更多的人关注不文明行为,这样可以有效防止不文明行为的发生。当然,也有人反抗这样提议,首先,被曝光的人容易受到来自公众和朋友的批评和怀疑,这可能会影响他们的正常生活。其次,实名曝光在很大程度上不具有可行性,因为大多数不文明行为不能被当场发现,不文明行为者的姓名也难以获取。
