63.全国各地都可以见到形态各异、口味不一的年糕。“年糕”这个词里的“糕”字与“高”谐音,寓意来年“节节高”。In various parts(localities)of the country you [can]
see different shapes and flavors of niangao, or New Year cake, which is steamed cake of glutinous rice.The “gao” in niangao is a homophone(homonym)for “high”, meaning(signifying)“rising higher and higher in the coming year”.64.15世纪前的一千多年里,中国通过这条通道给西域各国带去了丝绸织物、火药、造纸术和印刷术。For the more than 1,000years(the millennium)before the 15th century, through(along/via)this route Chinese brought(dispatched/delivered/sent)to the West(to Western countries)their silk cloth(fabrics), gunpowder, paper-making technique(skill), and printing technique.65.对传统社会价值观的挑战。中国社会中的拜金主义,对自我的日益关注以及对公益事业的淡漠使中国的许多传统美德受到冲击。Challenges to traditional [social] values.The money worship(idolization), the growing egoism(egotism/egocentric trends/extreme individualism/concern for one’s own interests), and the increasing indifference to the public interests(public welfare)—all these are having a negative impact on many of the Chinese traditional virtues.66.您在这里可以欣赏古代格斗术,您也可以在这里习武。由中国武术协会创立的武术宫为您准备了精彩的、扣人心弦的表演节目—您除了可以观赏武术家的表演外,还可以观赏京剧项目和杂技表演。Here you can appreciate(watch)the ancient(the ancient form of)barehanded fight(fighting), and you can also practice the martial arts by yourself.The Martial Arts Palace, which was founded(erected/ set up/ established)by the Chinese Martial Arts Association, offers you marvelous, exciting(marvelously exciting/ splendidly thrilling)performances.In addition to(Besides)the martial artists’ performances, you can also watch Peking operas and acrobatics(acrobatic shows/ performances)67.相反,东亚社会的自我约束性、集体责任感以及温厚儒雅的传统倒可以消除西方社会的许多恶疾。By contrast(In contrast to these), East Asia is characterized by the traditions of self-discipline, collective responsibility, and mild, kind, honest and refined personal characters, which may contribute to the elimination of many Western evils(vices/ills).68.懂得一门语言包括懂得哪些句子在某种场合中使用是恰当的。这就是说,语言的使用受到场合或上下文的约束。Knowing a language includes(involves/ necessitates/ entails)knowing what sentences are appropriate in what(certain/particular)contexts/ situations.In other words, language use(the use of language)is governed by(is constrained by/ is subject to the restrictions of /depends on)the situation or context.(situation-dependent, context-dependent)69.中国有句古话是这样说的:“山不在高,有仙则名;水不在深,有龙则灵。”中国书法好似山上之仙、水中之龙。An old Chinese saying goes like this:(As an old Chinese saying goes,)“A mountain is famous for the immortal residing there rather than(for)its height;and a river is holy for the dragon in it instead of(for)its depth.” Chinese calligraphy is as important [to Chinese culture] as the immortal on the mountain and dragon in the river.70.社区服务是当今各国普遍关注的一个问题。它不但是社会稳定的措施之一,而且是社会进步与发展的需要。社区服务对于解决某些社会问题,改善人民生活,促进精神文明建设都有着重要的作用。Community service is an issue of common concern among all countries(an issue that draws widespread attention from various countries).It
not only represents(is)a measure to stabilize society(to achieve social stability), but also meets the demand(satisfies the need)for social progress and development.Community service plays an important role(part)in solving some(certain)social problems, improving people’s life and promoting cultural and ethical progress(cultural and ideological progress/ spiritual civilization).71.中国正在招商引资,我们应该全力协助。China is looking for investment, and we should walk up and offer our best help.72.这样做的目的旨在使税收制度标准化,创造企业与企业之间、地区与地区之间公平竞争的条件,进一步改善投资环境。This aims to standardize the taxation system, create conditions for fair competition between various enterprises and between various regions, and further improve the investment environment.73.对于那些只熟悉普通欧洲语言的人来说,汉语是一种截然不同的语言。To those who know only the chief European languages, Chinese is an entirely different language.74.事实上蚊子是世界上最危险的虫子,也是人类最古老的宿敌和最致命的杀手。As a matter of fact, the mosquito is the world’s biggest danger to us.Also, it is human beings’ oldest and deadliest enemy.75.对于那些用餐时只会使用刀叉的西方人来说,掌握用筷的方法和技巧开始时难度也许很大,也很有趣,需要很大的耐心,需要用心练习。For Westerners who can only use fork and knife at a meal, mastery of the skills of using chopsticks may be challenging at first, but it is interesting and merely requires great patience and careful practice.76.在中国,餐桌上放一把刀是极其少见的现象。在许多人看来,刀会是人联想到虎视眈眈、咄咄逼人的武器,因而不可在友好温暖的餐桌上占有一席之地。In China it is rare to see a knife on the dinner table.To many people, a knife is associated with the image of a menacing, aggressive weapon, and therefore it should not be placed on a friendly, warm dining table.2. Translate the following two English paragraphs into Chinese Businesses are being told to be on their guard against the most dangerous computer virus ever detected.But it may be too late.The new virus is the first that can spread through a network unaided and then strike during the night or weekend, turning computer files into unintelligible code.Unlike conventional viruses, Remote Explorer, as it calls itself, can infect a machine without the user having to open a file—usually an attachment to an e-mail.Even more worrying, the virus is so sophisticated it can spread through a network without having to hitch a ride on an e-mail or file.It then uses an internal clock to strike at a quiet time.ii.Haier, the leading appliance maker in China, is well known in its home market for its innovative goods.The company sells a clothes washer with an attachment for kneading noodle dough, a clothes washer that will clean potatoes and a “prevent near-sightedness TV”, designed for children of working parents.It cuts off when anyone gets within two feet of the unit.Laugh, but such products have helped boost Haier’s sales to more than $5 billion annually and placed it among the world leaders in appliance sales.公司纷纷接到警告:小心迄今为止发现的最厉害的计算机病毒。但是,可能为时已晚。这是第一种不借助外力而在网络里自行蔓延、并在夜晚或周末发动袭击、把计算机文件变成难以理解的符号的新病毒。与一般病毒不同的是,这种自称为遥控探i.险者的病毒能在用户尚未打开文件—通常是与电子邮件相连的文件—的时候感染计算机。更令人担忧的是,这种病毒非常先进,它无需附着在电子邮件或文件上就能在网络上传播,并利用内部时钟在寂静时刻出击。
海尔公司是中国主要电器生产厂家,因产品的不断创新而在国内市场上负有盛名。该公司销售一种带有揉面团附件的洗衣机、一种可以清洗土豆的洗衣机和一种可“预防近世眼”的电视机。这种电视机的服务对象是那些父母都在外工作的儿童。一旦有人走入距电视机两英尺的距离之内,电视机就会自动关闭。搞笑吧,正是这些产品能使海尔公司每年的销售额超过50亿美圆,名列世界电器销售商的前列。

第三篇:段落翻译
汉译英:
蚯蚓是一种有益的动物。在地面上它是其他动物的食物。在地下,它为田野和花园制造肥沃的土壤。
蚯蚓能挖洞,而洞穴能使土壤疏松,因而使空气和水更容易达到植物的根部。这些洞穴还有利于土壤的排水。
蚯蚓把枯萎的树叶、草和花瓣拖进洞穴中。当这些植物垃圾腐烂后,就使土壤肥沃。
蚯蚓对制造优良的的表层土壤所起的作用是其它任何动物都比不上的。据估计,五万条蚯蚓一年内能在一英亩的土地上制造大约十八吨优良土壤。
The earthworm is a useful animal.On the ground it is food for other animals.Under the ground, it makes rich soil for fields and gardens.Earthworms dig tunnels that loosen the soil and make it for air and water to reach the roots of plants.These tunnels help keep the soil well drained.Earthworms drag withered leaves, grass and flowers into their burrows.When this plant litter decays, it makes the soil more fertile.No other animal is so useful in building up good topsoil.It is estimated that in one year fifty thousand earthworms carry about eighteen tons of the fine soil to the surface of an acre of land.我深深爱着的祖国――古老而又年轻。说她古老,她是一个有着数千年文明史的东方大国。中华民族以自己的勤劳和智慧,创造了灿烂的古代文明,对人类发展作出过重大贡献。说她年轻,新中国成立才60年,改革开放才30年。中国人民经过长期不懈的斗争建立了新中国,又经过艰苦的探索,终于找到了适合国情的发展道路――中国特色社会主义道路,文明古国焕发了青春活力。
My beloved motherland is a country both old and young.She is old, because she is a big Oriental country with a civilization stretching back several thousand years.With diligence and wisdom, the Chinese nation created a splendid civilization and made significant contributions to the progress of humanity.She is young, because the People's Republic is just 60 years old, and the country began reform and opening-up only 30 years ago.The Chinese people established the New China after unremitting struggles and ultimately found a development path suited to China's national conditions through painstaking efforts.This is the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.Following this path, our ancient civilization has been rejuvenated.中华传统文化底蕴深厚、博大精深。“和”在中国古代历史上被奉为最高价值,是中华文化的精髓。中国古老的经典――《尚书》就提出“百姓昭明,协和万邦”的理想,主张人民和睦相处,国家友好往来。“和为贵”的文化传统,哺育了中华民族宽广博大的胸怀。我们的民族,既能像大地承载万物一样,宽厚包容;又能像苍天刚健运行一样,彰显正义。
The traditional Chinese culture is rich, extensive and profound.Harmony, the supreme value cherished in ancient China, lies at the heart of the Chinese culture.The Book of History, an ancient classic in China for example, advocates amity among people and friendly exchanges among nations.The Chinese cultural tradition values peace as the most precious.This has nurtured the broad mind of the Chinese nation.The Chinese nation is generous and tolerant, just as Mother Earth cares for all living things.She is in constant pursuit of justice, just as the eternal movement of the Universe.很高兴出席世界经济论坛2009年年会,并发表特别致辞。首先,我要感谢施瓦布主席的盛情邀请和周到安排。本届年会意义特殊,在历史罕见的国际金融危机之中,各国政要、企业家和专家学者聚集在这里,围绕“重塑危机后的世界”这一主题,共同探讨维护国际金融稳定、促进世界经济增长的举措,探索全球综合治理之道,既有重要的现实意义,也体现了会议举办者的远见卓识。各方面热切期盼从这里听到富有智慧的声音,凝聚战胜危机的力量。我们有责任向世界传递信心、勇气和希望。我预祝本届年会取得成功!
I am delighted to be here and address the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2009.Let me begin by thanking Chairman Schwab for his kind invitation and thoughtful arrangements.This annual meeting has a special significance.Amidst a global financial crisis rarely seen in history, it brings together government leaders, business people, experts and scholars of different countries to jointly explore ways to maintain international financial stability, promote world economic growth and better address global issues.Its theme � “Shaping the Post-Crisis World” is highly relevant.It reflects the vision of its organizers.People from across the world are eager to hear words of wisdom from here that will give them strength to tide over the crisis.It is thus our responsibility to send to the world a message of confidence, courage and hope.I look forward to a successful meeting.青岛坐落在山东半岛南部,依山临海,天姿秀美,气候凉爽,人称“东方瑞士”。白天青岛宛如镶嵌在黄海边的绿宝石。夜里则像一只在大海中摆动的摇篮。难怪许多人乐意来这里疗养。
Qingdao, known as the “Switzerland of the Orient”, is situated on the southern tip of Shandong Peninsula.Wedged between hills and waters, the city is endowed with a beautiful scenery and a delightful climate.By day, she looks like a green gem inlaid in the coastline of the Yellow Sea and, at night, a cradle rocking upon the sea waves.No wonder so many people come to seek rest and relaxation.作为中国最早的教育中心和科学研究中心,北京大学聚集了中国优秀的专家学者,不断开拓创新,改造发展,以培养出的高质量人才和做出的高水平科学成果深刻影响和推动着中国高等教育的航程。一百年来,北京大学为代表的中国现代大学群,在中国走向现代化的历史进程中起到了重要的先锋作用,形成了光荣的革命传统和优良的学术传统。
As China’s earliest center of education and scientific research, Beijing University has gathered China’s most brilliant specialists and scholars, continuously opened up, blazed new trails, engaged itself in reform and development for training high-quality talent and achieving high-level scientific fruits that deeply influenced and advanced the range of China’s higher education.Over the past hundred years, this group of China’s contemporary universities, with Beijing University as its stellar representative, has played a pioneering role in China’s historical course towards modernization, forming a glorious revolutionary as well as an exemplary academic tradition.周恩来的品德、人格、风范、情怀为中华民族树立了一座精神丰碑。他那种勤勤恳恳、任劳任怨、全心全意为人民服务的奉献精神;那种艰苦朴素、严于律己、心底无私、一心为公的清廉精神;那种顾全大局,不计个人荣辱得失的牺牲精神;那种实事求是的求实精神;那种言行一致的磊落精神,新手卡;那种对党对国家和人民的高度责任感,工作一丝不苟,周密细致的精神,正是我们今天建设社会主义精神文明所迫切需要发扬光大的。
Zhou Enlai’s moral character, personality, style and noble sentiments constituted a paragon for the Chinese nation.His dedication as shown in his diligent, conscientious and hard working and whole-hearted service to the people, without any complaint;his incorruptibility as shown in his plain living, being strict with himself, selflessness and engrossment by public interest;his spirit of sacrifice as shown in his never being concerned about personal honor or disgrace, gain or loss in deference to the interests of the overall situation;his realistic approach of seeking truth from facts;his open and upright spirit of being as good as his words;his high sense of responsibility to the Party, the state and the people;his strict and careful spirit of working conscientiously and meticulously are all that we need urgently to carry forward in fostering our socialist spiritual civilization.A Paradise of the Birds Ba Jin
After we finished dinner at Chen’s little school, the heat of the day had already diminished.The sun retreated behind the hills, leaving brightly colored clouds hanging in the sky, over the hills and trees.“Let’s go boating!” Chen proposed, as we watched the mountain view by the pond in front of the school gate.“Great,” the rest of the group answered enthusiastically.We walked through a gravel path, and before long we reached the bank, where a pavilion stood made of straw.Filing through the pavilion, we found several small boats anchored under two big trees along the bank.One after another, we hopped into one of the boats.One friend loosened the rope, pushed the bamboo pole against the bank, which moved the boat to the center of the river.Three friends were rowing;Ye and I were sitting in the middle, enjoying ourselves in the scenery surrounding us.In the distance a pagoda was erected on the top of a hill, surrounded by many green trees.It was rare to see such a pagoda, and over there it was the hometown of my friend Ye.The river was wide, the water glistening without a ripple.The boat was steadily floating on the water, the three oars pulling in rhythm.Then the river narrowed at a certain point.Clusters of leaves stretched out touching the water’s surface.The leaves were in a lovely green color.There seemed to be many lush banyan trees, but I couldn’t make out where the main trunks of the trees were.My friends immediately corrected me as I referred to them as being many banyan trees.One of them said it was only one banyan, and another said there were two.I had seen many enormous banyans before, but it was the first time I saw such a gigantic one.As the boat drew nearer to the banyan, I finally got a good look at it.This was a huge tree, with countless branches, on which grew aerial prop roots.Many of the roots were dangling to the ground, some all the way into the soil.There were branches hanging above the water.Seen from a distance, the tree seemed to be reposed on the water.It was in the lush season(the tree bearing little fruits, many of which had fallen.)The banyan seemed to showcase its vibrant life energy to us.There were many leaves, clusters over clusters, with not even a tiny hole existing.The emerald green shining brightly in front of our eyes, it was like on each leaf there was a new life dancing.What a tree it is growing in the beautiful southern part of China!
The boat was moored under the tree for a moment, but we didn’t get onto the bank because it was so wet.A friend said it was known as the ‘paradise of the birds’ here.The local peasants forbade anyone to catch these birds.I thought I had heard some sounds of flapping wings, but by the time I shifted my eyes to that direction, I didn’t see any birds.There were many roots sticking out on the ground, looking like stakes.The soil was wet, perhaps for the tides frequently washed onto the shore.There were no birds in the “paradise of the birds,” I thought.The boat moved again, as a friend pushed the boat, and it drifted to the center of the river.Along the path in the crop fields on the shore there were some litchi trees, with clusters of the red weighty fruits hiding among the leaves.Our boat was heading towards there.A friend pulled the boat into a ditch with an oar.We moored the boat at the path, and jumped onto the bank.Two friends swiftly climbed up the trees, throwing down several clusters of litchis with leaves.Chen, Ye and I were down below catching them.After they came down, we ate the litchis as we headed back to the boat.On the following day, we boated to Ye’s hometown, the place we had seen the hills and the pagoda.Setting off from Chen’s little school, we passed the ‘paradise of the birds’ again.This time it was morning, and the sun was pouring over the water, as well as the branches.Everything was extremely bright.We stopped under the tree for a moment.It was very quiet at first, but then a burst of chirps broke the silence.Chen clapped his hands, and we saw a big bird flying over, then a second, and a third.We continued to clap, and soon the woods became very boisterous.Bird chirps were all over the place, and so were the birds, the big ones, small ones, variegated ones and black ones.Some perched on the branches, chirping;some were flying up;some were flapping their wings.I busied myself by watching them.Just as I saw this one clearly, I already missed the other one, and when I turned my eyes to the second one, the third one had flown off.A thrush flew out, but was startled by our clapping and then turned back into the woods.It stopped at a thin branch, and started to sing enthusiastically.The sounds were so beautiful.“Let’s go.” Ye rushed me to leave.As the boat was floating to the village under the pagoda, I kept turning back to look at the lush banyan left behind.I felt a little melancholy to leave this place.Yesterday, I was cheated by my eyes.The “paradise of the birds” is a real paradise for the birds!
June, 1933 in Guangzhou.Guo Yue of China returns the ball in the women's single finals against her teammate Li Xiaoxia at the world table tennis championships in Zagreb May 25, 2007.Guo beat Li 8-11, 11-7, 4-11, 2-11, 11-5, 11-2, 11-8 to win the women's singles title.北京时间5月25日,在萨格勒布世界乒乓球锦标赛女子单打决赛上,郭跃以大比分4-3逆转队友李晓霞,夺得了本届世乒赛女单冠军。
Zhang Yining and Guo Yan, both of China, picked bronze medals.张怡宁和郭燕获得了此次比赛的铜牌。
The 18-year-old Guo was jolted awake in the fifth set, sweeping three sets in a row to triumph 8-11, 11-7, 4-11, 2-11, 11-5, 11-2, 11-8.18岁的郭跃在第五局中调整了心态,连胜三局。
Fourth-seeded Guo, who stunned defending Olympic and world champion Zhang Yining in the semifinals, didn't find her touch until the end of the fourth set, in which she had once trailed 0-9.四号种子郭跃在半决赛的第四局中曾以0比9落后于未免世界冠军张怡宁,直到这一局快要结束才表现出自己的特长。
Guo used her forehand topspin and lightning backhand flicks to win the fifth set 11-5 and then the sixth 11-2.在第五局和第六局,郭跃使用正手击球和反手击球的战术分别以11-5和11-2轻松获胜。
Both players were technically correct in the final set but the championship game was usually a battle of minds.At the end of the fourth set the momentum was with Li, now it was with Guo.最后一局两位队员在技术上不分伯仲(均没有出现失误),但比赛往往也是一场心理素质的较量。
Li looked disconsolate as she made errors with Guo moving into a 4-0 lead.When the
players changed ends Guo was 5-0 ahead, prompting Li to call “Time Out”.She returned to serve a clean ace.由于自已的失误而导致郭跃以4-0领先,李晓霞有些郁郁寡欢。换场时,郭跃以5-0领先,李晓霞喊了暂停。回来后,凭发球获得一分。
Guo called “Time Out” with a 7-3 lead and then went ahead 10-4。
在7-3领先的情况下,郭跃喊了暂停,随后将比分追到了10-4。

中国人使用筷子就餐的方式在世界上独树一帜。有史记载用筷的历史已有三千多年。筷子古时称为箸,它看似简单,但却同时具有夹、拨、挑、扒、拌、撮、戳、撕等多种功能。中国民间视筷子为吉祥之物,如婚俗中将筷子隐喻为快生贵子的祝福等。与使用刀叉以及手抓的方式不同,成双结对的筷子含有“和为贵“的意蕴。西方人赞誉筷子是古老的东方文明。The Chinese way of eating with chopsticks

第四篇:中级口译考试段落
文化是指一个民族的整体生活方式。这一简单定义的含义使文化包括了这样一些内容,即一个民族的风俗、传统、社会习惯、价值观、信仰、语言、思维方式以及El常活动。文化还包含了文明史。从广义上说,有两种文化,即物质文化和精神文化。物质文化是具体的、可见的,而精神文化则比较蕴蓄、比较抽象。
Culture means the total way of life of a people.This simple definition implies that culture refers to the customs, traditions, social habits, values, beliefs, language, ways of thinking and daily activities of a people.It also includes the history of civilization.In the broad sense, there are two types of culture, that is, material culture and spiritual culture.Material culture is concrete and observable, while spiritual culture implicit and abstract.由于人类语言是文化的直接表现,所以第二语言的学习涉及了第二文化的学习。第二语言教师应该引导学生注意并了解他们所学语言的文化内容。包括理解外族文化的价值观,掌握外族文化的礼仪,了解外族文化与本族文化之间的差异。
Because human language is a direct manifestation of culture, learning a second language involves learning a second culture.For the teacher of a second language, he or she should make sure to develop the students' awareness and knowledge of the culture of the target language they are learning.This includes understanding the values of the target culture, acquiring a command of the etiquette of the target culture and understanding the differences between the target culture and the students' own culture.随着学生外语学习的深化,他们会增进对所学语言民族的文化特征的认识。这种开阔了的文化认识可以涉及文化的所有方面:外族人的生活方式,以及外族社会的地理、历史、经济、艺术和科学等。我们知道,每个民族的文化有不同于其他民族文化的礼仪规范。因此,学生在上外语课时应该学习操目标语的民族那些恰当得体的礼仪规范,学习如何理解陌生的文化习俗,学习在与外族人交际时应有的言谈举止。
As students progress through a foreign language program, it is expected that they will increase their awareness of the cultural characteristics of the speakers of the language under study.This broadened cultural knowledge may touch on all aspects of culture, the people's way of life as well as the geographic, historical, economic artistic and scientific aspects of the target society.We know that each culture has different etiquette patterns.And therefore, in a foreign language course, students should learn the appropriate etiquette patterns expected of the people living in the country where the target language is spoken.Students should also learn how to interpret unfamiliar cultural conventions and how to act appropriately when communicating with the persons of the foreign culture.改革开放30年来,随着中国逐渐崛起成为政治经济强国,海外人士学习汉语的现象与日俱增,海外孔子学院也成了人们学习中国语言和中国文化的首选之地。//通过学习汉语,他们对这个和自己文化大相径庭的古老文明产生了浓厚的兴趣,而且有机会了解中国的哲学、艺术、医学、饮食文化,亲身体验这个文明古国的风采。//作为第二文化,中国文化也丰富了他们的生活和世界观。可以说,这个潮流方兴未艾 As china is rising as a political and economic world power, thanks to its three-decade reform and opening up, more and more people in overseas countries start to learn Chinese and turn to a Confucius Institute in their own countries as their first choice for learning Chinese language and Chinese culture.// During the learning process, the learners concurrently develop their interest in this ancient land,whose civilization is so vastly different from theirs.And during the learning progress,the learners have opportunities to learn about Chinese philosophy, art, architecture, medicine and catering culture and experience first-hand the splendors of this venerable civilization.// Meanwhile, Chinese culture has enriched the life and world outlook of the learners.This trend, so to speak, is gathering momentum and is there to stay 越来越多的学习汉语的美国人除了对中国菜肴赞不绝口之外,也在尝试针灸,草药和武术。//他们也看功夫电影,学习东方时装潮流和手工艺,不知不觉的在日常生活中谈及中国的点心,人参、银杏,乌龙茶等。目前在美国最热门的中国文化是道家学说和有着神秘色彩的风水学。
It's interesting to note that apart from their love for Chinese cuisine, more and more American learners of Chinese language are turning to Chinese acupuncture,herbal medicines, martial arts.// They are also interested in kongfu films, fashions and crafts.Seemingly outlandish words such as dimsum, ginseng, gingko, oolong cha have crept into their everyday language.The latest Chinese cultural icons to make its impact there are Taoism,and ancient school of thought, and fengshui, an ancient art of placement.//
在这个经济全球化的时代背景下,大学将扮演怎样的角色呢?大学将如何通过旨在提高生活质量、推动经济发展的创新活动进而推动社会的进步呢?在这个日新月异、充满变数的社会,大学又将如何培养那些善于取精用弘的学生呢?//今天我演讲的重点是大学创新与研究的作用,因为创新是大学精神之所在,同时也是经济增长和新技术产生的主要原因。我们应该认识到,本科生教育和研究生教育都与研究紧密相连。我们的教育应该为学生创造一种可以探寻新知识、带来新发现的氛围,将教学与研究融合在一起的教育可以培养一批活跃在探索前沿、聪颖开放的青年才俊。//一届又一届的大学毕业生可以向社会传播发明创造的知识。
What will the role of universities be in this globalized economy? How will they contribute to improving society through innovation that will improve the quality of life and support economic growth? How will they prepare their graduates who will extract the best and explore the greatest in this increasingly complex society?//Most of my remarks will focus on the roll of innovation and research in the university since that is university spirit ,as well as the primary source of economic growth and new technologies.It is important to remember that undergraduate education and post-graduate education are tightly linked to research.Our education programs should ensure that the students are learning in anatmosphere characterized by the pursuit of new knowledge and process of discovery.An interrelated educational program will create a flow of young, bright and uninhibited minds to work on the frontier of discovery.//The process of graduation will disseminate the knowledge of new discoveries and innovations.大学最的使根本的使命就是创造新知识,虽然大学所创造的新只是有时会立即产生实际应用价值,但这决不是大学所追求的唯一目标。将获取实际应用价值的目标定位大学的主要目标是一种短视行为。基础研究也同样是大学的使命,而且大学在推动基础研究方面能发挥独特的作用。//选对人是确保创新型研究环境的首要因素,也是最为关键的因素。选人要选三种人: 第一种人是浮想联翩的思想家,第二种人是富有革命精神的探索家,第三种人是不受常规约束的实 干家。// The fundamental mission of a university is the creation of new knowledge which sometimes has immediate practical applications.But that can never be the only goal.And making it a primary goal will frequently be short-sighted.Basic contributions to knowledge should be valued for being exactly that.Our university has an almost unique role in fostering such contribution.//Choosing the right people is the first and perhaps the most crucial step in ensuring an innovative environment.There are three types of people that can be important.The first class of individuals consists of fanciful visionaries.The second class of important people in innovative environment consists of revolutionary explorers.The third class of individuals consists of uninhibited executors.//
第五篇:日语口译 翻译
1.こちらでは「幹部服」または「中山服」と言ってますが、30年以上も続いたんですよね。農村ですと着てる人もまだいるでしょうが、町では、もうほとんど着なくなりましたね。お年寄りの中には、長いこと着なれたせいで着やすいし、それに捨てるのはもったいない、というわけで着てる人もいますが。とにかく改革•開放が始まってからどんどん変わっています。
2.今でも覚えていますが、男性はすべて人民服。女性もみな似たようなスタイルのうわっぱりに、下はズボン。色は紺でなきゃ、灰色でしたね。初めて中國に来た時はびっくりしましたよ。3.全然ということはありませんが、少なかったですね。80年代の初めごろまでせいぜい若い人が夏に着るくらいで。それもたいてい自分で生地を買ってきて簡単に作る程度で、涼しくなるとまたズボンに逆戻り、というふうでした。ですから80年代の半ばごろまでは、外国の人かどうかは、一目で見分けられたものでした。
4.いけないってわけでないんですけど、やっぱり右へ倣えで人から変に見られたくないし、また似たり寄ったりの服しか売られてませんでしたからね。
5.はい。そのころからでしょうか。ジャンパー風のものが流行だし、次いで男性も女性もスーツ姿が増えてきました。そして90年代に入ってから、生活にゆとりが出てきたこともあって、女性の服が一気にカラフルになったのです。
6.いえいえ、綿入れなんかもう着る人いません。昔はみな綿入れで、春になれば、それを洗って仕立て直していたんですけど。今はもうほとんどセーターかスーツ、上にダウンのジャケットやコートといったところですね。近ごろではウールや革のコートも流行だしています。おしゃれな若い女性になると、下はロングスカートにブーツというのもいますし。
7.ええ、ジーパンは若い人に受けていますね。第一、かっこいいし、活動的で、一年中着られるでしょう、冬でも。わたしもよくはきますけど。
8.とにかく前より街が明るくなりましたね。特に女性の姿がずいぶん垢ぬけてきてますよ。かなりセンスのいいのも見かけるし。9.ええ、もう思い思いのものを着ています。じろじろ見られるのを気にしなくてもいいし。フゔッションにすごく敏感なおしゃれな人が増えてきています。そして人とは違った個性的な服を着たがってますね。10.そうでしょうか。でも、中国特に北のほうは空気が乾燥してますでしょう。肌が荒れやすいんですよ。それで今じゃ新聞やテレビなどでも、肌の手入れのことなんかがよく取り上げられたりして、みんなも少し気をつけるようになりましたがね。
1.日本で言えば、外国語大学のことです。ちなみに、こちらでは学院というと単科大学のことで、大学と言う場合は総合大学のことなんです。
2.そうですとも。たとえ大学で中国語を四年間勉強したとしても、これだけの通訳はつとまりませんよ。中国へ留学するか、またはしっかりした中国語学校で、もっと本格的に勉強をしなきゃ。いったい、こちらではどうやって教えるんですか。
3.そうですね。日本語の授業だけで、平均して週に20時間はありましたね。今では大学も週五日ですから、減っているとは思いますが。
4.すると、週10コマ。ということは、毎日1、2回日本語をやってるわけだ。道理で…。そして先生は日本人ですか。
5.日本人の先生もいらっしゃいますが、ほとんどが中国の先生です。でも授業は、二学年からは、すべて日本語で行われていました。
6.ありがとうございます。自分としては、もっと勉強しなくちゃ、と思っています。でも通訳って本当に難しいですね。なにせ自分の思ってることさえ、うまく話せないのに、通訳だなんて、私にはまだ無理なんです。このとおりまだ慣れていませんし、間違いだらけで、いつも失敗ばかりしているんです。
7.とんでもありません。とにかく、これから通訳するなかでも、間違いやうまく表現できないところがよくあると思いますから、そういう時にはぜひご指摘ください。こうした仕事の中で、もっと日本語の力をつけていきたいなと思っているんです。
8.こうしてここに立ってると、このスケールの大きさが実感できるなあ。やっぱり「百聞は一見に如かず」だ。それに天安門もけっこう大きい。9.よくご存じですね。確かに二十世紀に入ってからは、ここは人々が何かを全国に訴える場所になったんですよ。ちなみに中華人民共和国の成立式典もここで行われたのです。10.それでしたら、前もって原稿をちょっとは拝借できないでしょうか。このとおり通訳がまだ不慣れなものですから、できれば事前に訳しておきたいと思いまして。大事なご挨拶を、万一その場で上がって間違えたりしては申し訳まりませんので。11.前菜の盛り付けなんかきれいですね。この黒いタマゴのようなもの、なんでしょう。おいしいですね。12.蒸留酒ですから、40度ぐらいはあるでしょう。ですけど、こういう酒はいくら飲んでも頭に来ないという定評があるンデスよ。小林さんもどうぞ。13.お口に合ってなによりです。実はわたしも酒が好きなほうなんです。中国の古いことばに"酒は知己に逢えば、千杯もまた少なし”とありますね。ひとつ大いに飲みましょう。14.箸は、その昔中国からの日本につたわったんですが、よく見ると少し違うようですね。こちらのが日本のよりずっと長い… 15.うーむ。そういうことでしたか。わたしはずっとそれが不思議だったんですよ。これで分かりました。いや、面白いですね。中国と日本は二千年以上も昔から交流があったので、似ている点が多いわけですが、こうした微妙なところで文化の違いがあるんですね。いい勉強になりました。16.では、わたしもお盃をお借りし、中国の皆さんのおもてなしに感謝し、ご在席の皆さんのご健康を祝して、乾杯!17.皆さんは今朝早く発たれたので、さぞお疲れのことと存じます。明日の日程もございますので、今日のところはこの辺でお開きにしたいと思います。どうもありがどうございました。18.百花咲き誇る春らんまんの日に、わたくしどもが早くからそのご来訪をお待ち申しておりました日本岡山大学訪中代表団の皆様をここにお迎えできましたことは、まことに喜びにたえません。19.「友より遠方より来たる、また楽しからずや」と、中国の古い言葉にございますが、わたくしどもの今の気持ちはまったくその通りでございます。20.わたくしはここに上海海洋大学のみなさん並びにご同席の方々を代表いたしまして、小橋雅行先生を団長とする日本岡山大学訪中代表団の皆様に心からなる歓迎の意を表するものであります。21.小橋雅行先生は、わたくしどもが尊敬している古い友人であります。先生はこれまで中国人民との友好協力を発展させるため、大きな情熱を傾けてこられ、多大な貢献をされて参りました。この度の中国訪問にさいし、あらためて深い敬意を表したいと存じます。22.中国は国土も広く、人的・物的資源に恵まれております。一方、日本はすぐれた科学技術にもとづく大きな経済力をもつ国であります。両国の緊密な提携は長い目で見れば双方にとって有利であり、また両国民の末長い友好をお支えとなるに違いありません。23.友人の皆様。皆様はこれから北京を皮切りに北は東北三省から、南は上海、福建、広東に至る各地を回られることになります。ぜひその行かれる先々で、できるだけ多くのところをごらんになり、できるだけ多くに人と交流をもたれますよう、そしてその際、お気づけの点がございましたら、そのつどご指摘くださいますようお願い申し上げます。24.では最後に、中日両国の友好関係のより大きな発展のために、日本岡山大学訪中代表団のご訪問の成功を祈り、小橋雅行団長先生並びに守屋益男副団長先生のご健康を祈り、日本の友人の皆様のご健康を祈って乾杯いたしましょう。乾杯!ありがとうございます。25.尊敬する潘迎捷先生並びに ご同席の友人の皆様
本日はわたくしども日本岡山大学訪中代表団のために、このような盛大な宴席をお催していただき、また先ほどは、潘迎捷先生からご丁重なご挨拶を賜り、誠にありがとう存じます。代表団一同に代わりまして厚くお礼申し上げます。
