I have been asked many times, what is the role of an outside advisor? How should Presidents use them? My answer is simple: even if he ignores the advice, every President should ensure that he gets a third opinion from selected and seasoned private citizens he trusts,(the second opinion should come from congressional
leaders).Though
Cabinet
我曾经多次遇到这样的问题,外部进谏者的作用是什么?总统们应当如何利用这些进谏者?我的回答很简单:总统可以不纳谏,但每位总统都应当确保他能从精挑细选、经验丰富,自己信任的第三方那里得到建议(第二方的建议应有国会的领导者提供)。尽管内阁成员和白宫的高层助手们通常都讨厌外部进谏者,但是,一位总统如果只依赖于其(身边的)员工和联邦政府成员(提供)意见的话,那么他将会冒很大的风险。每个人都有自己个人或机构的优先权需要得以保护。而当政府官员面对一种抉择或者政府内部出现了纷争而帮助总统作出判断的时候,外部进谏者可发挥怀疑一切的作用。他们可以根据自己的情形而为总统提供一个全然不同的观点;在白宫官员无法坦诚地提出见解之际,他们却能坦诚地进谏。
Seasoned: adj.apprec having much experience in the stated activity(对所述活动)很有经验的;训练有素的 a seasoned traveller / journalist 有经验的巡回推销员、新闻记者
克利福德认为,如何利用进见者的建议取决于领导的(执政)风格及个性。
members and senior White House aides often resent outside advisors, a President takes too many risks when he relies solely on his staff and the Federal bureaucracy for advice.Each has its own personal or institutional priorities to protect.An outside advisor can serve the role of a Doubting Thomas when the burearucracies line up behind a single position, or help the President reach a judgment where there is a dispute within the government.They can give the President a different perspective on his own situation;they can be frank with him when those in the White House are not.Clifford points out that the manner in which a counselor’s help is utilized depends on the leader’s style and personality.For years I resisted any and all suggestions that I join the Johnson administration, just as I had
多年来,我拒绝了所有要我加入约翰逊政府的提议,就像我不加入肯尼迪政府一样。然

with President Kennedy.However, the relationship I had with each man was quite different.When Kenney called on me, it was usually to play a clearly-defined role on a specific problem----from the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs to the Steel crisis.Johnson, on the other hand, wanted my advice or observations on almost anything that might confront him.Johnson also asked me to participate in important national security meetings which otherwise involved only government officials, something Kennedy never did.In these meetings, I would say little unless asked to comment by the President----and even then, I shared my views with later, only in private.而,我和他们两个人的关系却大不相同。肯尼迪总统需要我的时候,通常是在特殊问题出现的时刻,让我去充当确定的角色——比如说,从猪湾事件的善后处理到(1962年)钢铁业危机。而约翰逊总统在他可能面对的几乎任何事情上都想听听我的建议或者评论。约翰逊经常请我参加重要的国家安全会议,而那种会议往往只有政府官员参加,而肯尼迪却从来不那么做。在那些回忆上,我几乎从不发言,除非总统钦点让我发言,即使那样,我也是事后私下跟他谈及我个人的观点。
A doubting Thomas 不听劝告的人,多疑的人
史上有多位姓或名为Thomas 的先生,这位是谁呢?
原来这个习语出自于《圣经》。这位Thomas 是耶稣的一位门徒(Apostle,共有十二位)。耶稣复活(Resurrection)之后出现在自己的门徒面前,但Thomas那天碰巧不在,所以他就不信耶稣的复活。几天后,耶稣出现在Thomas 面前时,Thomas要亲手触摸耶稣身上的钉痕,才肯相信主真是复活了。后来人们就用doubting Thomas来指那些怀疑一切的人,多疑的人。
Several of the country’s most respected doctors have stated that smoking cigarettes harm one’s health, but there are still many doubting Thomases who are not yet persuaded.虽然这个国家的几位最有名望的医生都说吸烟有害健康,但还是没有说服许多顽固的怀疑者。

进取的幸福
【中文】正是因为不停地追求进取,我们才感到生活幸福。一件事完成后,另一件随之而来,如此连绵不绝,永无止境。对于往前看的人来说,眼前总有一番新天地。虽然我们蜗居于这颗小行星上,整日忙于锁事且生命短暂,但我们生来就有不尽的希望,如天上繁星,遥不可及。只要生命犹在,希望便会不止。真正的幸福在于怎样开始,而不是如何结束,在于我们的希翼,而并非拥有。
【英文】We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series.There is always a new horizon for onward-looking men, and although we dwell on a small planet, immersed in petty business and not enduring beyond a brief period of years, we are so constituted that our hopes are inaccessible, like stars, and the term of hoping is prolonged until the term of life.To be truly happy is a question of how we begin and not of how we end, of what we want and not of what we have.四级翻译练习中国是舞龙舞狮的起源地。自问世以来,舞龙、舞狮运动一直受到各个民族人民的喜爱,代代相传,长久不衰,并因此形成了灿烂的舞龙舞狮文化。长期以来,很多青年朋友都以为龙舞、狮舞就是春节、庙会、庆典时的喜庆表演,殊不知它历经了几千年的传承流变,积淀了深厚的历史文化,是祖先留给我们的极其宝贵的文化遗产。

旗袍,是中国女性的传统服装,源于中国满族女性的传统服装。因为满族人被称为“旗人”,所以满族人的长袍被称为“旗袍”。到了20世纪20年代,受西方服饰的影响,经过改进之后的旗袍逐渐在广大妇女中流行起来。在中国,很多女性都喜欢穿旗袍。结婚的时候,新娘不仅要订做一件中式旗袍作为结婚礼服,还要穿着漂亮的旗袍照一套婚纱照,作为永久的纪念。对于中国的女明星们而言,旗袍也成为她们参加各种重要活动的首选礼服。
核心词提示:
旗袍:Cheongsam

在炎热难耐的夏天,当清爽的凉风不再光顾北京,胡连群很随意地卷起T恤衫,晾出大肚皮。他们被称为“膀爷”,即“光膀子的男子”(不管年龄多大)。在炎热的季节,“膀爷” 似乎无处不在:在商业区内昂首阔步、在公园里下棋、在动物园里牵着小孩的手,在熙熙攘攘的街巷穿行。
译文:
In a sweltering summer, there is not cool wind in Beijing, Hu Lianqun optionally rolls up his shirt and expose his belly.they are called “Bang ye”which are the men who exposed arms or bellies regardless of their age.in the hot weather,they seem to be everywhere:striding in business
district,playing chess in parks, holding children's hands at the zoo and walking in crowded streets.总结:
(1)寒风光顾北京the refreshing breezes desert the city,更加准确和适合,而且生动,我的翻译 there is not cool wind in Beijing,比较死板,当时不知道怎么翻译
(2)即“光膀子的男子”(不管年龄多大),我翻译成从句which are the men who exposed arms or bellies regardless of their age,自己觉得总少点什么,感觉有点堆积,译文(men with their arms or bellies exposed regardless of their age),用词更急准确。
(3)在熙熙攘攘的街巷穿行。negotiating crowded alleyways,简约自然walking in crowded streets.有些生硬
(4)街巷alleyways

夏末回到伦敦,突然听到霍克思先生去世的消息,怅惘不已。霍克斯是牛津大学一位中国古代文学学者,他把中国人最喜欢的古典文学作品之一《红楼梦》(他译成《石头记》)翻译成了英文,并因此而成名。(A Dream of Red Mansionsor The Story of the Stone, as he
translated it)
The last time I saw him was on a warm afternoon in April, I called on him at his home which is a common two-floor house in Oxford, Coming out of a narrow passageway, he greeted me with both hands held together to his chest and smelling in the traditional Chinese way: “ Welcome to my common home” in classic Chinese,liking an Chinese old man.总结:
(1)听到先生去世,learn of the passing of David Hawkes,重点在去世,把握的很好,而我的则是有些普通
(2)4月的一个下午,阳光充满暖意,a warm, sunny afternoon last April,充满美感,应该说更加贴切原文,我把阳光翻译掉了。
(3)一座很不起眼二层小楼a commonplace two-storey house easily missed when passing by,而我的翻译是 a common two-floor house,觉得自己的翻译更好,更加贴切,只是common总感觉有点不合适,但是用原文的翻译,有感觉有点拖拉
(4)标准的普通话,应该是说他的普通话很标准很好,所以译作in perfect Chinese更好
