New York is the most important city in the United States.It is also important to the rest of the world.New York is the headquarters of the United Nations.Many countries worked together to build these buildings of marble, glass, and steel along the East River.People from all over the world live in New York and work at the United Nations.There are ambassadors and economic experts, interpreters and guides.The ambassadors meet in the General Assembly and in special councils.The interpreters must speak at least one of the six official languages of the United Nations: English, French, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, or Chinese.They listen to speeches in one language and interpret them quickly into another.They must work quickly, but they must also work carefully.The ambassadors discuss serious world problems, but the people of the United Nations do more than just talk.They also help the nations of the world through such groups as WHO, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF, the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund(Now the name is United Nations Children’s Fund).Standing in New York Bay is the Stature of Liberty, a gift presented by the French people in 1877.This is one of the many places tourists are interested in.In short, New York City is the show-window of and a gateway to the U.S.纽约是美国最重要的城市。它对于整个世界也是很重要的。

纽约是联合国的总部。这里的建筑物是许多国家合资用大理石、玻璃和钢筋沿着东河建造的。来自世界各地的住在纽约的人们有些在联合国工作。其中包括大使、经济学家、口译家和导游。大使们的会见是在联合国大会和一些特殊委员会时。而口译家至少必须精通六种联合国官方语言中的一种：英语、法语、西班牙语、俄语、阿拉伯语和汉语。他们要能快速将他们所听到的演讲辞翻译成另一种语言。他们的工作讲求速度和细心。大使们讨论的是重要的世界问题，而联合国政府人员所要做的不仅仅是洽谈。他们还要帮助世界各国的一些组织，如：世界卫生组织，即世界健康组织和联合国国际儿童基金会，即联合国儿童应急基金会（现在名为联合国儿童基金会）。

矗立在纽约湾的是自由女神像——1877年法国送给美国的礼物。这也是备受游客青睐的旅游胜地之一。

总之，纽约市（向世界）呈现了美国，也是人们了解美国的通道。

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。

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：英文短文翻译

11The key problem here lies in the causality

12Those who made a fuss said that they have confirmed that violence on the media causes aggressive behavior.13But the assumption in their study need to be tested.14When we list game as violence or nonviolence, whether the scene a hero eat ghost can be referred to violence? 15When experimenter record the time which game player spent on reading a list of the “aggressive” or “non-aggressive” , can we be sure that they are weighing?

16In order to compare the method, ideas and conclusion of the media violence’s research, the new Harvard Media and Child Health collected these media violence, and made it standardized, their intention was an important step in the right direction.17Another appropriate method should be desalinizing criticism before we know more.18Many researchers have done a lot of writing , communication and validation on the threat caused by media violence

19Of course , it’s their privilege.20But when do this now, they often announced the problem has been solved, thus incurred criticism from colleagues.21In response to these criticisms, those who are alarmist accused of these critics and journalists to be deceived by the entertainment

industry.22Such a conflict is not helpful to the scientific research and the society.

第五篇：四级 短文翻译

颐和园(the Summer Palace)是世界上规模最大，保存最完整，文化内涵最丰富的皇家御苑，被誉为皇家园林博物馆。园内建筑吸收了中国各地建筑的精华。东部的宫殿区和内廷区，是典型的东方四合院(quadrangle)风格。南部的湖泊区是仿杭州西湖景色，一道西堤(dyke)把湖泊一分为二，具有浓郁的江南情调；万寿山(Longevity Hill)的北面，是典型的西藏喇嘛庙宇(Tibetan lamasery)风格，有白塔及城堡式建筑；北部的苏州街，店铺林立，水道纵通(crisscrossing watercourses)，又是典型的江南水乡风格。

中国人喜欢喝茶，也常常用茶来招待朋友和客人。茶叶是中国人生活中的必需品。茶树原产于中国。中国古人发现茶树后，起初是把茶叶用于药用，后来才当作饮料。花茶（scented tea）是中国独有的一个茶类，是在茶叶中加入香花熏制而成的。最有名的花茶是福建产的茉莉花茶(jasmine tea)。喝茶不但可以止渴，还能消除疲劳，帮助消化，预防一些疾病。长期饮茶，对人的身体很有益处。

文学是文化中最有活力，最灿烂辉煌的一部分。在历史发展的长河里，中国古代文学蕴含(embody)了中华文化的基本精神，体现了中国人的美学(esthetics)追求，承载了中华民族的理想信念，表现出自己独特的个性和风采。从远古(primeval times)神话(mythology)到唐诗宋词，明清小说......各种文学形式，高潮迭起，连绵数千年，涌现出许多古今文明的文学家(litterateur)和不朽的文学作品。

丝绸之路(the Silk Road)是公元前二世纪开始出现的一条联系中国和欧亚大陆的交通要道，由于这条道路开始时以丝绸贸易为主，所以人们便称它为丝绸之路。这条陆上道路从中国长安开始，经甘肃，新疆，进而到中亚，西亚，并一直联结到地中海(the Mediterranean)沿岸各国。丝绸之路不仅是一条古代通商的道路，它更是连接古代中华文明，印度文明，埃及(Egypt)文明，希腊(Greece)文明和美索不达米亚(the Mesopotamian plains)文明的纽带，是东西方文化和科学技术交流的桥梁。

中国是风筝的故乡。放风筝有益于身体健康，所以，许多国家十分流行放风筝。中国人不仅把放风筝当作有趣的游戏和有益于身体健康的体育活动，也常常把风筝当作装饰挂在墙上。目前，中国的风筝已经远销到日本以及东南亚和欧美的许多国家，受到了世界各国人民的欢迎。近年来，山东潍坊每年都要举行国际风筝节。

旗袍(cheong-Sam)源自清代满族(Manchu)女性服饰，被誉为中国传统服饰(habilatory)文化的典范。它不仅在整体造型的风格方面符合中国文化和谐的特点，而且它的装饰手法也展现着浓厚的东方特质(oriental idiosyncrasy)。另外，穿旗袍可以增加形体的修长感，配上中高跟鞋，更可以抬升人体的重心(the center of gravity)，将东方女性的端庄(civility)，典雅和含蓄的美展露出来。因此旗袍在中华民族服装中独领风骚，久盛不衰。

汉语是中国汉民族使用的语言，汉语历史悠久，在3000多年前就有了相当成熟的文字。汉

语有超过12亿的使用者，是使用人数最多的语言之一，除了中国，新加坡，马来西亚等国也有相当一部分人使用汉语，分布在世界各地的几千万华侨，华裔，也以汉语的各种方言为自己的母语。汉语是中国人使用的主要语言，也是联合国的工作语言。

中国人的生活多姿多彩，有许多很有意思的民俗(folkways)。最有意思的可能要数中式婚礼了。中国人结婚与西方人不大一样，西方人要进教堂，而中国人要大摆筵席；西方人要上帝赐福，而中国人要拜天地，拜父母；西方人穿着洁白的婚纱举行婚礼，而中国传统的婚礼需要新郎新娘穿红衣服，因为红色在中国象征着吉利、喜庆。

Chinese traditional habilatory culture.As for the reason,the cheong-sam not only accords with the characteristic of harmony within Chinese culture in terms of the style,but also shows rich oriental idiosyncrasy with regard to ornamental techniques.In addition,the cheong-sam will give more prominence to a lady’s slender figure,and also help to heighten the center of gravity of human bodies together with high-heel shoes,so that civility,elegance and dignity will be fully displayed.Therefore,the cheong-sam developed its own trend,which has been long lasting.Used by the Han people in
