杨校长分享的20个预测翻译

第一篇：杨校长分享的20个预测翻译

1.狮舞（Lion Dance）是中国最广为流传的民间舞蹈之一。狮为百兽之首，在中国传统中，狮子被视为是能带来好运的吉祥物（mascot）。古人将狮子视作是勇敢和力量的化身，能驱赶邪恶、保护人类。据记载，狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。在唐代（the Tang Dynasty），狮舞就已经被引入了皇室。因此，舞狮成为元宵节（the Lantern Festival）和其他节日的习俗，人们以此来祈祷好运、平安和幸福。

The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China.The lion is the king of animals.In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck.Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans.The dance has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years.During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty.Therefore, performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness.2.中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放，这对海外企业（enterprises）意味着更多的商机。改革开放以来，中国企业与海外企业一直积极开展经济技术合作，并取得了巨大成就。海外企业不仅帮助了中国企业的成长，而且也在合作中获得了收益。中国政府将继续提供有利的政策和条件，推动中国企业与国外企业进一步开展合作。

China will develop its economy further and open itself wider to the outside world,which offers more business opportunities to overseas enterprises.Since China’s reform and opening upChinese enterprises have been cooperating with overseas enterprises in terms of economy and technology and have scored great achievement.Overseas enterprises have not only helped Chinese enterprises with their growth, but also benefited from the cooperation.Chinese government will continue to offer favorable policies and conditions to promote the further cooperation between Chinese and overseas enterprises.3.假日经济的现象表明：中国消费者的消费观正在发生巨大变化。根据统计数据，中国消费者的消费需求正在从基本生活必需品转向对休闲、舒适和个人发展的需求。同时，中国人的消费观在蓬勃发展的假日经济中正变得成熟。因此产品结构应做相应调整，来适应社会的发展。另一方面，服务质量要改善，以满足人们提高生活质量的要求。The phenomenon of holiday economy shows that Chinese people’s consumption concept is undertaking great changes.According to statistics, the demands of Chinese consumers are shifting from the basic necessities of life to leisure, comfort and personal development.Therefore, the structure of products should be adjusted accordingly to adapt to social development.On the other hand, services should be improved to satisfy people’s demand for an improved quality of life.4.端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣（minister）,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤（vilify）而最终投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子，希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身躯。几千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子（glutinous dumplings）和赛龙舟，尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。

The Duan Wu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified.People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water,hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan’s body.For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes.5.2013年6月20日在中国各地，剧估计60万儿童和他们的老师观看了有宇航员（astronaut）王亚平在距离地球300公里的上空所讲授的科学课。王亚平与两个同事乘坐天宫一号实验舱(the Tiangon-1 laboratory module)执行为期两周的任务。她在课上进行了一系列太空的物理演示。在有些演示中还对比了在地球上重力（one-gravity）环境下同样的实验。这堂物理课不仅让孩子们享受了一堂知识与乐趣兼具的物理课，也显示了我国通信科技的前进。

On June 20, 2013, an estimated 600 thousand school children and their teachers across China watched a science lesson taught from 300km above the Earth by astronaut Wang Yaping.Wang is aboard the Tiangong-1 laboratory module with two crewmates, for a two week mission.Her lessons were a series of physics demonstrations in the space.In some demonstrations,she compared with the same experiment under the one-gravity environment on Earth.The lesson has not only offered children a physics lesson with knowledge and interest, but also shows the advance in communication technology of China.6.朝气蓬勃，充满活力，丰富多彩的上海是现代中国的缩影。虽然上海的文化遗迹不能与北京媲美，但是上海迷人的城市风貌，风格各异的万国建筑为这座城市注入了无限的魅力。今日之上海，已经成为享誉中外的国际大都市。漫步在这座日新月异的现代大都市里，你会发现许多精彩的历史亮点，隐现在众多摩天大楼背后的是上海发展变化的轨迹。它们记述了上海自十九世纪末开埠以来，尤其是新中国成立以后，是如何迅猛发展的。

Shanghai is a dynamic, diverse and stimulating city-the very epitome of modern China.Though Shanghai cannot rival Beijing in cultural heritage, its varied architectural styles and cosmopolitan feel give it a charm of its own.Today's Shanghai has become a world-famous international metropolis.A walk through this booming city reveals many glimpses of its colorful past.Hidden a mongst the skyscrapers are remains of the original Shanghai.They keep on showing how Shanghai has been developing fast and enormously since its opening as a commercial port in the late 19th century, especially after the founding of new China.7.近代以来，亚洲经历了曲折和艰难的发展历程。亚洲人们为改变自己的命运，始终以不屈的意志和艰辛的奋斗开辟前进道路。今天，人们所看到的亚洲发展成就，是勤劳智慧的亚洲人民不屈不挠、锲而不舍奋斗的结果。亚洲人民深知，世界上没有放之四海而皆准的发展模式，也没有一成不变的发展道路，亚洲人民勇于变革创新，不断开拓进取，探索和开辟适应时代潮流，符合自身实际的发展道路，为经济社会发展打开了广阔前景。

In modern times, Asia experienced twists and turns in its development.To change their destiny, the people of Asia have been forging ahead in an indomitable spirit and with hard struggle.Asia's development achievements today are the result of the persistent efforts of the industrious and talented Asian people.The people of Asia re fully aware that there is no ready model or unchanging path of development that is universally applicable.They never shy away from reform and innovation.Instead, they are committed to exploring and finding development paths that are in line with the trend of the times and their own situations, and have opened up bright prospects for economic and social development.8.、吸烟之危害，可谓大矣，其严重性是不能低估的。吸烟污染空气，损害健康，使肺癌发病率大大增加。为了使各国人民关注烟草的盛行及预防吸烟导致的疾病和死亡，世界卫生组织已将每年的5月31日定为“世界无烟日”。瘾君子们说，一天饭不吃可以，一个时辰不抽烟就难捱了，不能戒。只要真正意识到吸烟有百害而无一利，于人于己都是一种祸害，就有可能下决心摆脱烟草的诱惑。戒烟贵在坚持，坚持下去就是收获。Smoking does great harm to human and its gravity should not be underestimated.Smoking pollutes air, damages health, and increases the incidence of lung cancer.To arouse the awareness about the prevalence of tobacco in all the countries and to prevent smoking-induce diseases and deaths, the WHO(World Health Organization)has defined May 31stin every year as World No-Tobacco Day.The tobacco addicts say that smoking is impossible to quit because they could do without meals in a day but would feel tortured without tobacco in two hours.However, when one realizes that smoking is harmful in many ways but beneficial in no way and that it is a curse to others as well as to he himself, he will be determined to resist the temptation of tobacco.To quit smoking requires persistence and so long as one persists,he’ll be rewarded.9.越来越多受英文教育的海外华人父母，已经认识到孩子在掌握不可或缺的英文的同时，也通晓中文的重要性。中国的崛起，让他们充分认识到孩子掌握双语的好处——既能增加他们的就业机会，也能让他们接触和熟悉东西方两种不同的文化。这些人对中文的态度几乎没有完全改变。曾几何时，他们还非常骄傲地宣称自己只懂英文。现在，他们已开始积极支持孩子学习中文和中国文化，而且还不时走访中国，欣赏壮观的自然风光，认识丰富的文化遗产。

An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kid shave a good command of Chinese.China’s rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit rom their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West.They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese.At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only.Now, they have begun to give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China,where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage.10、我赞同许多东亚学者的观点，东方文明可以医治盛行于西方世界的一些顽疾。西方世界个人自由主义泛滥导致了极端个人主义、性关系混乱以及过度暴力行为，对此我们不能视而不见。// 相反，东方社会的自我约束力，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。// 在这个信息时代，世界已缩小成一个地球村。这个地球村里，不再有什么泾渭分明的东方世界和西方世界，我们是生活在同一个社区里的邻里。// 因此，我们彼此之间无须冲突。我们之间的关系应该是一种友好合作，平等互补的关系。我们应该相互理解，相互学习，和睦共处。

I share the same view with many East Asian scholars that the Oriental civilization can heal some of the prevailing ,stubborn Western ills.We should not turn a blind eye to the fact that individual freedom has gone overboard in the West, resulting in extreme individualism, sexual promiscuity and excessive use of violence.// By contrast,self-discipline, corporate responsibility and the pacific tradition of East Asia can offset many Western vices.// At this age of information, the world has shrunk as a global village in which there will be no clear-cut worlds of the East and the West any more, but a world of one community with neighboring families.// Therefore,we do not necessarily have to come into clash with each other.Our relationship is one of friendly cooperation, equality and mutual complementarity and therefore,we should understand and learn from each other, and live in harmony.// 11.、国际贸易的基本原则是平等互利，各国追求各自的利益是正常的，出现一些摩擦和纠纷也是不可避免的。关键要以冷静而明智的态度正确对待和处理摩擦和纠纷。// 就中美贸易而言，互利共赢的经贸关系给两国人民带来了实实在在的经济利益。今天，美国在华投资设立的企业已超过4 万家，投资额达450 亿美元。// 美国500 强企业有400 多家进入中国，大多数企业获利丰厚。与此同时，在美国市场上，许多中国商品受到美国消费者的青睐。中国在美国投资设立的企业已超过1000 家。// 我们可以预见，中美贸易摩擦将随着经贸关系的深化而凸显，但是中美经贸合作的总体发展是不可逆转的。主要有两个原因，其一：中美贸易具有很大互补性。其二：中国产品具有明显的劳动力成本优势。// Equality and mutual benefit is the fundamental principle of international trade.Therefore, it is normal that countries will seek to protect their own interests, which may lead to trade friction sand disputes.The key lies in how to cope with these issues correctly in a cool and wise manner.// As for China-US trade, mutually beneficial and win-win trade and economic ties have delivered tangible economic benefits to the two peoples.Now, with over 40,000 U.S.-invested enterprises, the total investment in China stands at $45 billion.// Of the top 500 U.S companies, more than 400 have their business in China, and most of them are making handsome profit.At the same time, many Chinese commodities have become favored choices of American consumers.Meanwhile, the number of Chinese-invested enterprises in the United Sates has surpassed 1,000.// We predict that trade disputes between China and the United States will become more acute along with the further development in bilateral trade and economic cooperation.The overall development in bilateral trade and economic cooperation is, however, irreversible.There are two factors contribute to this trend.Firstly, the Sino-U.S.economic and trade relations enjoy complementarities in vast fields.Secondly, China has an outstanding labor cost advantage.12、中国国际出版集团是中国最大的、最权威的外语出版发行单位，其前身是中央人民政府新闻出版署国际新闻局。// 我集团坚持“让中国走向世界，让世界了解中国”的出版原则，全心致力于中国外语教育与研究事业的发展，全心致力于中外文化交流事业的拓展。// 为了加强对出版人才队伍的建设，为了满足日益增长的特殊出版业务的需要，我集团每年都要选派一些青年员工到国内外知名高等学府和研究机构进修，// 根据我们的发展战略，我们会将前进的步伐迈出国界走向世界，瞄准海外读者群，这一战略已取得了良好的开局。// The China International Publishing Group is the largest and the most authoritative foreign language publishing and distribution establishment, its predecessor being the International Press Bureau of the Central People's Government Press and Publication Administration.//Adhering to the publishing philosophy of “assisting China's march to the world and facilitating world's understanding of China”, the Group commits itself entirely to promoting foreign language education and research in China and advancing cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.// In order to build up a strong team of publishing staff, as well as to meet the growing need of more technically demanding business, the Group makes it a rule that young staff be selected and sent to noted universities and research institutions, both domestic and overseas,for further studies.// As is clearly spelled out in our new development strategy,we will go beyond our national boundaries and wedge ourselves into the world circulation market, aiming at the international readership.Our initial effort shave been very rewarding.// 13.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。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。

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 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 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.// As the second culture, 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.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 dim sum, 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.//、上海菜系是中国最年轻的地方菜系，通常被成为“本帮菜”，有着400多年的历史。同中国其他菜系一样，“本帮菜”具有“色，香，味”三大要素。//上海菜的特点是注重调料的使用，食物的质地和菜的原汁原味。其中最著名的有特色点心“南翔小笼”和特色菜“松鼠鲑鱼”。//“南翔小笼”是猪肉馅，个小味美，皮薄汁醇。“松鼠鲑鱼”色泽黄亮，形如松鼠，外皮脆而内肉嫩，汤汁酸甜适口。//在品尝过“松鼠鲑鱼”之后，我们常常惊讶于“松鼠”的形状，觉得在三大评价标准上在添加“形”这个标准才更合适。// Shanghai cuisine , usually called Benbang cuisine, is the youngest among the major regional cuisines in China,with a history of more than 400 years.Like all other Chinese regional cuisines,Benbang cuisines takes “color, aroma and taste” as its essential quality elements.//Shanghai cuisine emphasizes in particular the expert use of seasonings, the selection of raw materials with quality texture, and original flavors.Shanghai cuisine is famous for a special snack known as Nanxiang Steamed Meat Dumpling sand a special dish called “Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish”.//Nanxiang Steamed Meat Dumplings are small in size, with thin and translucent wrappers, filled inside with ground pork and rich tasty soup.Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish is yellow-colored and squirrel-shaped, with a crispy skin and tender meat, all covered with a sweet and sour source.//After tasting Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish, we are always amazed by the squirrel shape and think that it is more appropriate to plus “appearance” as the fourth element.15、美国人强调效率、竞争和独创性，而中国人则将严谨规划放在首位，鼓励团队成员之间的密切合作和无私奉献。//在美国学校，讨论享有至高无上的地位，讨论是课堂教学的主旋律；而中国教师喜欢讲课，喜欢考试，编写千篇一律的标准教案，培养整齐划一的高材生。//美国人的政治观，经济观以及社会观的核心是个人道德自治观。中国传统的思想体系是以儒家学说为基础的，这种思想强调整体和谐。//现在，中美联系比以往更加紧密，中国人学英语，玩保龄球，吃肯德基，美国人学汉语，练功夫，吃北京烤鸭，《泰坦尼克》驶进中国，《牡丹亭》也在百老汇上演。// American people emphasize efficiency,competition and originality while Chinese people give priority to careful planning and encourage close cooperation and altruistic dedication among team members.//In American schools, discussion is given top priority while Chinese teachers like to lecture in class,and a lot of them are obsessed with examinations.They write consistent and standardized teaching plans, and are happy with bringing up identical and standardized talents.//Central to American political, economic and social thought is the concept of individual moral autonomy.Traditional Chinese philosophical systems are based on Confucianism,which sings high praises for communal harmony.//Nowadays, the relation of China and America become closer than ever.Chinese learn English, play bowling, enjoy KFC, while Americans learn Chinese, exercise Kung Fu, like Peking Duck.And Titanic sailed into China, while The Peony Pavilion has been performed on Broadway.// 16.武术在我国源远流长，是中华民族传统文化的瑰宝。我们知道，一个民族的优秀文化遗产，不仅仅属于一个民族，它会逐渐传播到世界而成为人类的共同财富。// 为了更好的推广武术运动，使其与奥运项目接轨，中国武协和国际武联做了大量的艰苦卓绝的工作。现在武术运动已被列为一种具有与保龄球运动和国际标准舞同等地位的奥运表演项目。//武术的蓬勃发展，除得益于其项目本身的吸引力之外，早期移居海外的一代武术大师功不可没。//老一代武术家在海外播种下了武术的种子，使武术这门既可以自卫又可以健身的运动很快就在新的土地上扎下了根。今天高超的武术大师已遍布世界各地，武术爱好者也与日俱增。// Wushu, or Chinese martial art, can be traced back to ancient times.It is a gem of Chinese traditional culture.As well know, the fine culture of a nation does not belong to the nation alone and it will be spread to the rest of the world and shared by all humanity.// The Chinese Wushu Association and International Wushu Federation(IWUF)have been working very hard to popularize wushu and make the Chinese martial art closer to the Olympic Movement.Wushu was accepted to join bowling and international standard dance as an Olympic demonstration event.// The booming of wushu is attributed not only to the attractiveness of the sport but also to emigrant Chinese wushu masters over the years.// Martial artists of the older generation shave sown wushu seeds in foreign countries.Wushu, which can be used as self defense and can keep practitioners fit and strong, soon became popular on new lands.Today superb wushu masters are active all over the world, and amateurs are on the increase with each passing day.17、香港中文大学，简称“中大”，成立于1963年。中大是一所研究型综合大学，以“结合传统与现代，融汇中国与西方”为创校使命。//40多年来，中大一直致力于弘扬中华传统文化，坚持双语教育，并推行独特的书院制度，在香港教育界卓然而立。中大校园占地134 公顷，是世界上最美丽的校园之一。//中大的师生来自世界各地。有教职员工 5200多人，近万名本科生、约2000多名研究生，其中约2500多人来自45个不同的国家和地区。//中大实行灵活的学分制，不仅有助于培养有专有博的人才，而且还赋予学生更大的学习自主权。中大的多元教育有助于充分发挥每一个学生的潜能。// The Chinese University of Hong Kong, CUHK for short, was founded in 1963.It is are search-oriented comprehensive university with a mission to combine tradition with modernity and bring together China and the West.//For more than40 years, we have been distinguished from other local universities by virtue of our rich Chinese cultural heritage, bilingual education, and our unique college system.134-hectare campus is one of the most beautiful campuses in the world.//CUHK’ s faculty and students come from all corners of the world.It has more than 5200 staff members,approximately10,000 undergraduates, and 2000 postgraduate students.Of these students, some2,500 are from 45 countries and regions outside Hong Kong.//The flexible credit unit system allows a balance between depth with breadth, and a high degree off ree choice of students in designing their own learning.The mufti-faceted education at CUHK helps to bring out the best in every student.//

18、过去10年，海平面升高和森林看法的速度都是前所未有的；生态恶化、物种灭绝、臭氧层被破坏、温室效应、酸雨等一系列环境问题已经严重影响到人类的生存环境。// 环境恶化造成的问题之一就是缺水。目前全世界 40%以上的人口，即 20 多亿人，面临缺水问题。据预测，未来 25 年全球人口将有 60 亿增长到 80 亿，环境保护面临更大的压力。// 中国作为一个发展中国家，面临着发展经济和保护环境的双重任务。从国情出发，中国在全面推进现代化的过程中，将环境保护视为一项基本国策。// 众所周知，对生态环境和生物多样性的保护是环保工作的重点。我国野生动植物物种丰富，仅脊椎动物就有 6000 多种左右，高等植物 3 万多种。// Sea level rose and forest were destroyed at an unprecedented rate during the last decade.A series of environmental problems such s the deterioration of ecosystem, the extinction of bio-species,damage to the ozone layer, the green-house effect, acid rain, have posed a serious threat to human living conditions.Environmental crisis leads to one of the serious problems, namely, water shortage.Presently, more than 40% of the world’s population, more than 2 billion people, now face water shortage.It is predicted hat with the global population expected to increase from six billion to eight billion over the next 25 years, more pressure on environmental protection stress is expected.As a developing country, china is confronted with the dual task of developing the economy and protecting the environment.Proceeding from its national conditions, china has, in the process of promoting its overall modernization program, made environmental protection one of its basic state policies.// It is known to all that protection of the ecological environment and biodiversity is the focal point of environmental protection work.China is rich in wildlife species.There are about 6,000 vertebrates alone and 30,000species of higher plants 19.四合院（Siheyuan）是中国传统民居中最重要的形式。它数量多、分布广，并且在汉族、满族、白族以及其他少数民族中十分流行。大多数房屋采用木制框架。主屋建在南北走向的轴线上，两个厢房则位于四合院的两侧。家庭中的长者住在主屋中，而两翼则是年轻一代的卧室。妇女住在内院。客人和男仆住在外院。这种分布符合封建礼制（feudal regulations）。四合院遍布全国的城乡，但由于各地自然条件和生活方式各有不同，因此发展出各自的特征。北京的四合院最具代表性的。

Siheyuan is the most important form of Chinese traditional residential house.It is great in number and wide in distribution,popular among the Han,Manchu，Bai,and some of other minority groups.Most of the houses are of wood framework.The principal room is biult on the south-north axis,and two wing rooms are located on both sides of it.The family elders live in the principal room and wings are the bedrooms for the younger generations.Women live in the inner yard.Guests and male servants live in the outer yard.This distribution is in accordance with feudal regulations.Siheyuan spreads over towns and villages throughout China,but each developed its own characteristics as result of respective natural conditions and different way of life.Siheyuan in Beijing is the most repesentative 20.中国结（The Chinese Knot）是一种古老的艺术形式。人们发现，绳结可以追朔到10万年前。中国人不仅用绳结来固定、包裹、狩猎、捕鱼，还用来记录事件，而且有些绳结纯粹起装饰作用。中国结具有文化内涵（cultural connotation）。由于结在汉语中的发音与“吉”相近。吉的意思是“福、禄、寿、喜、财、安、康”，这是中国人永恒的追求，因此有些中国结表达出人们的各种愿望。例如：新婚夫妇的房间通常用一个盘长结（Pan-chang Knot）来装饰，象征着永恒的爱情。

The Chinese Knot is an ancient art form and artifacts could be found as far back as 100 000 years ago.Chinese people used knots for more than just fastening,wraping,hunting,fishing.Knots were also to record events,and some knots had purely ornamentak functions.The Chinese Knot has cultural connotations.Since knot is pronouced as“jie” in Chinese similar with that of “ji”,which means blessing,good salary,longevity,happpiness,fortune,safety and health and is the everlasting pursuit of Chinese people,some Chinese Knots espress people's various hopes.For example,the room of newlyweds is usually decorated with a Pan-Chang Knot to symbolize eternal love.

教育读书类

中国教育工作者早就认识到读书对于国家的重要意义。有些教育工作者2003年就建议设立全民读书日。他们强调，人们应当读好书，尤其是经典著作，通过阅读，人们能更好地学会感恩、有责任心和与人合作，而教育的目的正是要培养这些基本素质。阅读对于中小学生尤为重要，假如他们没有在这个关键时期培养阅读的兴趣，以后要养成阅读的习惯就很难了。

For a long time, educational workers in China have come to realize the significance of reading for the nation.Since 2003, some of them have suggested that a National Day for Reading should be set up.They emphasize that people should reading good books, especially classic ones.Through reading, individuals can better learn to be grateful, responsible and cooperative with others.And the purpose of education is to cultivate these basic qualities.Reading is of vital importance for students in primary and middle schools，because if they do not foster interest of reading in this key period, it will be difficult for them to develop the habit of reading in future.素质教育 quality-oriented education 希望工程Project Hope 走读生 non-resident student

中国的互联网社区是全世界发展最快的。2010年，中国约有4.2亿网民(netizen)，且人数还在迅速增长。互联网的日渐流行带来了重大的社会变化。中国网民往往不同于美国网民。美国网民更多的是受实际需要的驱使，用互联网为工具发电子邮件、买卖商品、规划旅程或付款。中国网民更多是出于社交原因使用互联网，因而更广泛地使用QQ、聊天室等。

The Internet community in China is developing fastest in the world.In 2010, there were approximately 420 million netizens, and the number is still on speedy increase.The growing popularity of the Internet leads to significant social changes.Usually, Chinese netizens are different from their American counterparts.Netizens in U.S.tend to focus on their practical needs for the Internet, which serves as a tool to send emails, purchase and sell commodities, plan tours, or pay.For Chinese netizens, the Internet is more frequently used for social purpose, and thus, QQ and chatting rooms are widely preferred.数码科技 digital technology 网络世界cyber world 网络文化cyber culture 网络犯罪cyber crime 网上购物 online shopping 高产优质 high yield and high quality 高科技园 high-tech park 工业园区 industrial park 信息港info port

一带一路

人类社会正处在一个大发展大变革大调整时代。4年来，全球100多个国家和国际组织积极支持和参与“一带一路”建设（the Belt and Road Initiative）。2014年至2016年，中国同“一带一路”沿线国家贸易总额超过3万亿美元。中国对“一带一路”沿线国家投资累计超过500亿美元。中国企业已经在20多个国家建设56个经贸合作区（economic cooperation zone），为有关国家创造近11亿美元税收（tax revenue）和18万个就业岗位。

Humankind has reached an age of great progress, greattransformation and profound changes.Four years on, over 100 countries andinternational organizations have supported and got involved in the Belt andRoadInitiative.Trade between China and other Beltand Road countries exceeded 3 trillion U.S.dollars in the 2014-2016 period,and China's investment in these countries surpassed 50 billion dollars.Chinesecompanies have set up 56 economic cooperation zones in over 20 countries,generating some 1.1 billion dollars of tax revenue and 180 thousand jobs forthem.经济环境类

当外国人第一次来到中国，他们不仅惊讶于中国经济的快速发展，还惊讶于经济发展带来的环境恶化。经济发展确实改善了人们的生活，但恶劣的空气和食品质量又会降低人们的幸福感。虽然很多人说这是发展的必然途径，但他们忽略了一点，即经济发展造成的环境伤害很难弥补。比如北京的雾霾（smog）已经严重影响人们的生活。幸运的是，政府已经意识到这个问题，一系列改善环境的行动正在进行。

When foreigners firstly come to China, they are shocked/ surprised by not only the rapid/speedy development of China’s economy, but also environmental pollution by economic development.The advance of economy truly enhances people’s life, but bad air and food quality reduce people’s happiness.Although a host of people said this is a necessary trend of development, it is rather difficult to recover the environmental damage because of economic development.A case in point is that the smog has seriously influenced people’s life.Fortunately, the government has come to realize this problem, and a series of actions /measures have been taken to improve environment.物质文明和精神文明 material and spiritual civilization 小康社会 a well-off society 一个中国原则 the one-China principle 与时俱进 keep pace with the times 综合国力 overall national strength 贫富分化 disparity between the rich and the poor 社会保障 social security

2016年6月大学英语四级段落翻译预测

大学英语四级段落翻译预测一

别在意外表，因为外表的东西往往不真实，也别在意财富，因为再多的财富也会有用完的一天。找一个能让你绽放笑容的人，因为一个笑容就能让灰暗的一天变得明亮。去做你想做的梦，去你想去的地方，成为你想成为的人，因为人生短暂，机会错过了可能就不会再有。只有不断的尝试才能让你变得强大，永远怀抱希望你才会开心，幸福。

Don’t go for looks which often deceive you.Don’t go for wealth which would be used up however amazing it is.Go for someone who will make you smile because a smile is enough to render a dark day bright.Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;become the one you want to be, because one’s life is short and once you let the chance slip through your fingers it may not come to you again.Only when you keep trying can you become strong;only when you cherish hopes can you remain cheerful and happy.大学英语四级段落翻译预测二 七夕节——中国人的情人节

中国人也有一天是奉献给爱情的。这就是农历七月初七的七夕节，常被人成为中国的情人节。这一传统浪漫节日源自一个古老的传说：年轻的牛郎和织女分居银河的两岸，终年隔岸苦苦相望而无法相会。玉皇大帝可怜这对恋人，传令天下喜鹊在七月初七这天夜晚全部飞到银河上来。架起鹊桥，好让牛郎、织女在桥上相会。“Qi Xi Jie”----Chinese Valentine’s Day The Chinese also have a day devoted to “love” that is “Qi Xi Jie”, or the seventh of the seventh month on the Chinese lunar calendar.Often called “Chinese Valentine’s Day”.This romantic traditional festival originated from a old legend: Niu Lang and Zhi Nv were fairies living on opposite sides of the Milky Way.They have been waiting for each other for a year but can not meet.Feeling sorry for the two lonely sprites, the Jade Emperor ordered all magpies must flock over the Milky Way to form a bridge so that the couple could meet there on the seventh night of the seventh month.大学英语四级段落翻译预测三

中国人喜欢在一起吃饭，这个传统可以追溯到很久之前。这反映出中国人喜欢团圆、不愿分离的观念——圆桌、圆盘、圆碗都象征着团圆和美满。盘子通常放在桌子的中央，这样坐在桌子面前的所有人都可以吃得到。一锅热汤尤其可以增加和谐、团圆的气氛。朋友们也喜欢在一起吃饭、生活。最近一位美国汉学家(sinologist)的著作认为，中国人的集体观念(collective tradition)就是从一同吃饭发展而来的。

Chinese like to eat together, which is a tradition that can be traced back in a long time ago.It reflects the Chinese notion of union versus division— round tables, round dishes, and round bowls all symbolize union and perfection.Dishes are usually placed at the center of the table so that everyone around the table can share them.A hot pot, in particular, adds to the atmosphere of harmony and union, friends also like to eat and live together.A recent book by an American Sinologist held that the Chinese collective tradition developed out the practice of eating together.大学英语四级段落翻译预测四

元宵节是庆祝中国新年的最后一天。这一天也是新年假期结束前人们花炮的最后时刻、给吃大餐提供了最后一个理由以及给家人团聚提供了最后一个机会。人们点起万盏彩灯，庆祝新年的第一个月圆之夜。这一天最终要的传统活动就是看花灯、猜灯谜。灯谜往往设计得短小而巧妙，有时还很幽默，谜底往往是一个字、人名、地名或者一句谚语。

The Lantern Festival is the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration.This day is the last moment for setting off fireworks, the last excuse for a big feast and the last chance for a family to get together before the vacations are over.Hundreds of lights are lightened to celebrate the first night of full moon in the New Year.The most important traditional activity for the day is watching lanterns and guessing the answer to the lantern riddles.The riddles are usually short, wise and sometimes humorous.The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character, a famous person’s name, a place name or a proverb.大学英语四级段落翻译预测五

几千年的中国文化充实着中国梦，同时，过去三十几年的改革开放也激励着中国梦。中国梦最显著的特征是包容性和双赢合作。这些也是使中国梦扩大它的全球影响范围和被其他国家的人民认可的基本特征。中国梦是民族复兴的梦。它是建设一个强大繁荣的国家，给中国人民带来幸福生活的梦。中国梦需要维持稳定健康的经济发展，科学管理社会，以及有效应对外部发展的风险和挑战。

The Chinese dream has been enriched by thousands of years of Chinese culture and inspired among other things by the past three decades of reform and opening-up.The most noticeable features of the Chinese dream include inclusiveness and win-win cooperation.These are the very features that will enable the Chinese dream to expand its global reach and be recognized by people of other nations.The Chinese dream is the dream of national rejuvenation.It is the dream of building a powerful and prosperous state, a dream of bringing happiness in the lives of theChinese people.It entails sustaining steady and healthy economic growth, scientifically managing the Chinese society, and effectively responding to the risks and challenges of external development.大学英语四级段落翻译预测六 饺子（Jiaozi）是人们在中国新年及北方常年吃的主要食物之一。饺子的发音听起来与最早的纸币的名字相似，所以吃饺子被认为会带来好运。很多家庭杂除夕夜吃饺子。有些厨师会藏一枚干净的硬币，让幸运的人找到它。常见的饺子肉陷包括猪肉，牛肉，鸡肉以及鱼肉，这些肉陷通常会与切碎的蔬菜混合在一起。吃饺子时拌有包含醋，大蒜或辣椒酱（hot sauce）和酱油为基础的沾酱(dipping sauce)。

Jiaozi is one of the major foods eaten during the Chinese New Year and year round in the Northern provinces.The pronunciation of Jiaozi sounds like the name for the earlier paper money, so eating them is believed to bring good fortune.Many families eat Jiaozi on Chinese New Year’s Eve.Some cooks will hide a clean coin for the lucky to find.The common meat fillings of Jiaozi include pork，beef, chicken and fish, which are usually mixed with chopped vegetables.Jiaozi are eaten with a soy sauce-based dipping sauce that may include vinegar, garlic or hot sauce.饺子是深受中国人民喜爱的传统食品。相传为古代医圣张仲景发明。饺子的制作是包括：1）擀皮、2）备馅、3）包馅水煮三个步骤。其特点是皮薄馅嫩，味道鲜美，形状独特，百食不厌。民间有“好吃不过饺子”的俗语。中国人接亲待客、逢年过节都有包饺子吃的习俗，寓意吉利。对崇尚亲情的中国人来说，“更岁交子”吃饺子，更是欢度除夕、辞旧迎新必不可少的内容。

Dumplings are one of the Chinese people’s favorite traditional dishes.According to an ancient Chinese legend, dumplings were first made by the medical saint---Zhang Zhongjing.There are three steps involved in making dumplings: 1)make dumpling wrappers out of dumpling flour;2)prepare the dumpling stuffing;3)make dumplings and boil them.With thin and elastic dough skin, fresh and tender stuffing, delicious taste, and unique shapes, dumplings are worth eating hundreds of times.There’s an old saying that claims, “Nothing could be more delicious than dumplings”.During the Spring Festival and other holidays or when treating relatives and friends, Chinese people like to follow the auspicious custom of eating dumplings.To Chinese people who show high reverence for family love, having dumplings at the moment the old year is replaced by the new is an essential part of bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the New Year.大学英语四级段落翻译预测七

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 is unique in the world.The recorded history of chopsticks started more than three thousand years ago.Chopsticks were named zhu in ancient Chinese.They look deceptively simple to use, but possess multi-various functions, such as clamping, turning over, lifting up, raking, stirring, scooping, poking, tearing, and so on.Chopsticks were taken as an auspicious mascot by ordinary people in ancient China.For example, the partial tone of chopsticks is often used by people as a metaphor at weddings to indicate a blessing or benediction for the couple to have a baby soon.Unlike using a knife and fork or one’s own hands, a pair of chopsticks also implies the meaning of “Harmony is what matters”.Chopsticks are highly praised by Westerners as a hallmark of ancient oriental civilization.大学英语四级段落翻译预测八

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 满族：Manchu 旗人：bannerman Cheongsam, which is a traditional Chinese women's clothing, originated from Chinese Manchu women's traditional costume.The Manchu robes are called cheongsam is because the Manchu people are called “bannermen”.In 1920s, influenced by western clothing, cheongsam went through some improvement, and steadily gained popularity among the women.Now in China, women like to wear the cheongsam.When get married, the bride should not only be measured for a traditional Chinese cheongsam as a wedding dress, but also take a series wedding pictures as a permanent memorial in that beautiful cheongsam.For Chinese female stars, cheongsam has become their first choice to participate in various important activities.大学英语四级段落翻译预测九

孔子是一位思想家、政治家、教育家，也是中国儒学思想的创始人。儒学，这个道德和宗教的大系统建立在孔圣人的教学下。冯友兰，中国思想史上20世纪伟大的权威之一，把孔子在中国历史上的影响比作西方的苏格拉底。

Confucius was a thinker, political figure, educator, and founder of the Ru School of Chinese thought.Confucianism, the great system of moral and religious philosophy built upon theteachings of Master Kung.Fung Youlan, one of the great 20th century authorities on the history of Chinese thought, compares Confucius in Chinese history with that of Socrates in the West.

请将下面这段中文翻译成英文：

中国土地广阔，人口众多。尽管全国都讲汉语，但是不同地区的人说汉语的方式不同，这被称为方言。方言一般被称为地方话，是汉语在不同地区的分支，只在特定地区使用。汉语方言非常复杂。它们有以下三方面不同：发音、词汇和语法。发音的区别最为显著。2000多年前，中国人发现社交时应该使用同一的语言。和方言相比，普通话能被所有人理解。普通话有利于不同种族、地区人民之间的信息传递和文化交流。

参考译文：

China has a vast land and a large population.Even though the Chinese language is spoken all over the country, people in different areas speak it in different ways, which are called dialects.Generally called local languages, dialects are branches of the Chinese language in different regions, and are only used in certain areas.Dialects of the Chinese language are very complicated.They differ from each other in three aspects: pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar.And the difference in pronunciation is the most outstanding.Over 2000 years ago, Chinese people realized that a common language should be used in social activities.Compared with dialects, mandarin can be understood by all people in China.The use of mandarin can contribute to information transmission and cultural exchange between ethnic groups and people in different places.词句点拨：

中国五年前根本没有高速铁路。但是现在高铁列车(high-speed trains)的票经常很快就售罄，尽管发车间隔比较短。人们能够很方便地以两倍于美国火车最髙速的速度在全国周游。高速铁路系统的运菅非常成功，它运载的乘客是全国民航(civil aviation)系统运载的乘客的两倍。中国有世界上最先进的、低排放的快速运输系统之一，而做到这一点仅仅用了五年。

参考译文：

China didn't have a high-speed rail five years ago.But now the tickets of high-speed trains are usually sold out very quickly, even though the departure interval is quite short.And people can conveniently travel around the nation at a speed that doubles the speed of the fastest American train.The operation of high-speed rail system is very successful;it carries twice as many passengers as the nation's civil aviation system.China has one of the most advanced rapid transit systems with low emissions in the world, and it only takes five years to achieve this.词句点拨

1.但是现在高铁列车的票经常很快就售罄，尽管发车间隔比较短“售罄”:可译为sell out，意为“卖完了，卖光了”;“发车间隔”译为departure interval。

2.人们能够很方便地以两倍于美国火车最高速的速度在全国周游:“以...的速度”可译为at a speed...，speed意为“速度”“;两倍于”即“是...的两倍”，可译为double,也可译为twice。

3.高速铁路系统的运营非常成功，它运栽的乘客是全国民航系统运载的乘客的两倍:“运栽”可用carry来表示。“倍数+as+many/much/large等形容词+(比较的内容)+as”为英语中表达倍数时常用的结构，中间的形容词根据比较的内容来定，如比较大小则用as large as,表示“是...的两倍大”则为twice as large as。

如今，越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下：首先，大学生把在校的大多数时间都用在了专业学科学习上，只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次，大学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈，这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此，强烈建议大学生在课余时间做一些兼职工作，以积累相关的工作经验。

Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job.The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training.Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce.And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job.Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.自从1978年经济改革以来，中国已经完成了从中央计划经济(centrally planned economy)向市场经济(market based economy)的转变。超过6亿人已经脱离了贫困，但是仍然有超过1.7亿人生活在国际贫困线以下天少于1.25美元。2012年，中国的人均GDP 为12405.67美元，这是30年前的37倍。到2018年，中国的人均 GDP将从世界第90位上升到第75位。然而，这仍然是低于预计的世界平均水平。

Since initiating market reforms in 1978，China has shifted from a centrally planned to a market based economy.More than 600 million citizens have been lifted out of poverty, but over 170 million people still live below the $1.25-a-day international poverty line.In 2012, China’s GDP(PPP)per capita was $12,405.67.This is 37 times higher than what it was just 30 years ago.By 2018，China’s GDP per capita will climb from the 90th to 75th highest in the world.This however will still be below the forecasted world average.“剩女(leftover women)”这个词被用来指那些在二十八九岁，甚至更大年龄仍未结婚的女性。有些人认为“剩女”是需要认真对待的社会力量,而另一些人则主张这个词应被视为褒义词，意思是“成功女性”。据2010年的中国婚姻调查(Chinese National Marriage Survey)报道，90%的男人认为女人应该在27岁之前结婚。在中国，大部分“剩女”都是受过良好教育的中产阶级。跟以前几代人相比，如今的女性更加自由，更能够独立生活。

参考译文：

“Leftover women”is a term that refers to women who remain unmarried in their late twenties and beyond.Some people regard leftover women as a social force to be reckoned with”,while others have argued that the term should be taken as a positive term to mean“successful women”.In a 2010 Chinese National Marriage Survey,it was reported that 9 out of 10 men believe that women should be married before they are 27 years old.In China leftover women are mostly well-educated middle class.Women today are more free and able to live independently in comparison to previous generations.丝绸之路(the Silk Road)是历史上连接中国和地中海的一条重要贸易路线。因为这条路上的丝绸贸易占绝大部分，所以在1877年它被德国的一位地理学家命名为“丝绸之路”。这条古道从长安开始，经过河西走廊(the Hexi Corridor),到达敦煌后分成三条：南部路线，中部路线和北部路线。这三条路遍布新疆维吾尔自治区(Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region)，然后扩展到巴基斯坦(Pakistan)，印度，甚至罗马。

The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean.Because silk comprised a large proportion of trade along this road, in 1877, it was named the Silk Road by an eminent German geographer.This ancient road begins at Chang’an, then by way of the Hexi Corridor，and it reaches Dunhuang, where it divides into three, the Southern Route，Central Route and North¬ern Route.The three routes spread all over the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and then they extend as far as Pakistan, India and even Rome.中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放，这对海外企业(enterprises)意味着更多的商机。改革开放以来，中国企业与海外企业一直积极开展经济技术合作，并取得了巨大成就。海外企业不仅帮助中国企业的成长，而且也在合作中取得了收益。中国政府将继续提供有力的政策和条件，推动中国企业与国外企业进一步开展合作。

China will develop its economy further and open itself wider to the outside world, which offers more business opportunities to overseas enterprises.Since China’s reform and opening up, Chinese enterprises have been cooperating with overseas enterprises in terms of economy and technology, and have scored great/ tremendous achievement.Overseas enterprises have not only helped Chinese enterprises with their growth, but also benefited from the cooperation.Chinese government will continue to offer favorable policies and conditions to promote the further cooperation between Chinese and overseas enterprises.在中国，广场舞非常受中老年妇女们的欢迎，在城市广场或开阔的地方你经常可以见到她们卖力做动作的身影。但因其噪音大又扰民，很多人对此颇有怨言。你认为广场舞扰民吗?

社会越来越多人抱怨晚上吵闹的音乐。我认为如果是在购物中心或者公共广场附近，那没有问题。但是如果是在住宅区附近，打扰到居民时，政府就应该出面管理一下，很多西方国家就是这样做的。

有人说，单词是做好阅读的关键;然而这并不意味着只要弄懂单词就行了;阅读理解，还有一个关键就是：读懂句子，掌握各个句子之前的逻辑关系，这样才能顺利的理解文章的意思。下面就让我们一起看看阅读中常考的逻辑关系吧!

首先是我们最熟悉的因果关系。

因：because、because of、for、as、since、in that、on account of、with

果：so、so that、therefore、thereby、as a result、hence、thus、consequently、accordingly

因果关系除了传统意义上的显性因果表达词外，隐性的因果同样是不可忽略的一个重要部分。

隐性因果：

A 导致(因-果)：cause、reason、lead to、give rise to、result in、render、make、let、ask、push、stimulate、fuel、produce

如：The increased presures of expanding population have led to the removal of woody plants so that many cities and tow are surrounded by large areas completely lacking in trees.在这段话中，有lead to表示了导致的意思，即结果，而so that更进一步表示了后面的结果，所以可以充分判定这段话有因果关系的逻辑。

B 由„而来(果-因)：result from、derive from、originate from、initiate from、stem from、be attributable to

如：“The extreme serioue of desertification results from the vast areas of land and tremendous numbers of people affected，as well as from the great difficulty of reversing or even slowing the proce.”

在这段话中，根据result from可以推断出有因果关系，那如果是解释句子题时，选项中有因果关系就可以优先考虑。

C 反映，体现(果-因)：reflect、present、demonstrate、suggest、imply

D 考虑到：given、considering、in view of、thanks to、according to

He succeeded thanks to(in view of)his effort.E 依赖于：rely on、depend on、resort to

He resorted to books when he had problems.F 条件关系：when、once、as soon as、As long as

As soon as he got the money, he would leave the country at once.G 分词短语，不定式做状语：Failing in the final exam, she cried.在漫长的30分钟四级听力中，最怕的就是捡了芝麻，丢了西瓜。最重要的信息经常会因为一时疏忽而丢掉分数。所以，在四级听力中，一定要抓住以下这七类关键词!

一、转折性词汇

学会听转折词汇，如yet, however, though, whereas, unfortunately, unexpectedly, instead, rather than, other than, to be frank, frankly speaking, to tell you the truth,etc.二、逻辑类词汇

表原因：because, because of, for, as, due to, owing to, in that, now that, according to;

表结果：therefore, so, as a result, consequently, eventually;

表递进：apart from, in addition, furthermore, what's more, moreover,etc.三、最高级词汇

形容词和副词的最高级最需要关注，如most importantly, the most popular...the biggest of...四、事实罗列词汇

在诸如actually, in fact, as a matter of fact,etc.这些词汇后可能是关键的考点

五、序数词

如the first, firstly and finally

六、情态动词

如sb.has got to, can , could, may, might, need,should, ought to,etc

七、重要形容词

表示重要的词本身就很重要呢，如important, crucial, chief,major,significant, the only, unique, essential, necessary, vital, etc.四级作文常用的70个基本术语，考前赶紧背下来吧!

公益广告(public service advertisement)指为社会公众的利益和社会风尚服务的广告。它不以盈利为目的，属于非商业性广告，是社会公益事业(cause of the public good)的重要组成部分。公益广告的主题一般取材于老百姓的日常生活，如健康、安全和环保等。目的是提高公众的道德意识，改变公众对社会问题的态度。中国最早的公益广告出现在1986年。随后，公益广告的社会影响力逐渐增强。去年,中央电视台举办了首次电视公益广告大赛，呼吁社会各界关注并参与公益事业。

参考翻译: Public service advertisement refers to the advertisement that serves the interests of the public and social fashion.As a significant part of the cause of the public good, it is noncommercial and does not aim at making profit.The themes of public service advertisements generally come from the daily life of ordinary people, such as health, safety and environment protection.Its objectives are raising public awareness of ethics and changing public attitudes towards social issues.The earliest public service advertisement in China appeared in 1986.From then on, its social influence heightened gradually.Last year, CCTV hosted China' s first public service advertising competition, appealing to people in all walks of life to concern about and participate in the cause of the public good.越来越多来自北京、上海、广州、沈阳和其他一些大城市的大学生选择毕业后就结婚。这与20世纪80年代和90年代的情况形成了鲜明的对比，那时候很多城市的年轻人都推迟结婚，直到他们的年龄“足够大”—在30多岁甚至40多岁的时候。许多人花时间寻找有着良好的经济背景或好看的相貌的配偶，而不是寻找爱情。然而，这些选择毕业后就结婚的学生的父母必须照顾这些小夫妻的日常起居，因为这些年轻人仍然在探索如何作为一家人来生活。

参考译文：

University students in Beijing,Shanghai,Guangzhou,Shenyang and some other big cities are increasingly choosing to get married right after graduating.This is in sharp contrast to the situation in the 1980s and 1990s when many urban youngsters put off marriage until they were “old enough”一in their 30s or even 40s.Many spent their time looking for spouses with good economic backgrounds or attractive faces,instead of looking for love.However,parents of these students choosing to get married right after graduating have to take care of the couples' daily affairs,as the young people are still figuring out how to live as a family.最近中国科学院(Chinese Academy of Science)出版了关于其最新科学发现与未来一年展望的系列报告。系列报告包括三部分：科学发展报告，高技术发展报告，中国可持续战略报告。第一份报告包含中国科学家的最新发现，诸如新粒子研究与H7N9病毒研究的突破。该报告还突出强调了未来几年需要关注的问题。第二份报告公布了一些应用科学研究的热门领域，如3D打印和人造器官研究。第三份报告呼吁加强顶层设计，以消除工业升级中的结构性障碍，并促进节能减排。

参考译文1：

Chinese Academy of Science recently published an annual report on its latest scientific discoveries and the outlook for the next year.The report involves three parts: one report on science development, the second on high-tec development and the other one on China's sustainable development strategy.The first report includes the latest discoveries by China's scientists, such as the new particle research and their breakthrough in the study of H7N9 virus.More importantly, this report even highlights some problems that deserve attention in the next few years.The second one publishes some heated fields in applied science such as the 3-dimension print and artificial organ research.The third calls upon people to enhance the top design so that the structural obstacles in industrial upgradation may be eliminated, energy saved, and emission reduced.参考译文2: Chinese Academy of Science recently published an annual report about its latest scientific findings and the prospect of the next year.The report consists of three parts: science development, more advanced technology development and the sustainable strategy of China.The first one includes the latest findings of Chinese scientists, such as the research of new particle and the breakthrough in the study of H7N9 virus.Furthermore, it highlights some problems we need to focus in next few years.The second one announces some heated fields in applied science.For example, the 3-dimension print and the study of human organs.The third one suggests people enhance the top design in order to get rid of the structural obstacles in industrial upgrading and to promote the energy-saving and emission-reduction.参考译文3:

译文参考：

Cell phones are an integral part of our life today.The convenience of this little gadget is what makes it the world' s fastest growing technological device, going from a luxury in the 1980s to a must-have in the 21st century.But we have become dependent on them to the point that we feel that we cannot live without them.We get so addicted to texting, calling and communicating with those who are far away that we neglect the ones who are right in front of us.Many teens and young adults grow distant from those who love them because they are consumed with creating and maintaining cyber friendships.天津市古文化街于1986年元旦建成开业，全长687米，为模仿清民间建筑风格。它坐落在南开区海河西岸，是一条商业步行街，值得一看。再者，古文化街是天津市的发祥地，也是天津最早的文化、宗教和商业中心。天后宫(即著名的妈祖庙)就在这条街的中心。这条街上出售古玩、古旧书籍、传统手工艺制品和民俗用品。天津的民间艺术品杨柳青年画、泥人张彩塑、风筝魏风筝、刘氏砖刻在此也都设有专店。这里还有风味小吃，如茶汤、锅巴菜、耳朵眼炸糕。

参考译文：

Opened on New Year' Day in 1986,the Ancient Culture Street in Tianjin city is 687 meters long,with its architecture imitating the folk style of the Qing Dynasty.Located on the west bank of Haihe River in Nankai District,it is a commercial pedestrian street which is worth visiting.Furthermore,this street is known as the Cradle of Tianjin,and is the first cultural,religious and business centre of the city.In its centre is the famous Tianhou(Heavenly Queen)Temple,more popularly known as Mazu.Antiques,ancient books,traditional handicrafts and folk products are sold here.Additionally,the traditional folk-art Yangliuqing New Year paintings,Niren Zhang' s Colour-Clay Figurines,Wei Kites and Liu Carvings all have their shops there.There are also local snacks such as Chatang Soup,Guobacai,Earhole Fried Cake, etc.自古以来，和平就是人类最持久的夙愿。和平像阳光一样温暖、像雨露一样滋润。有了阳光雨露，万物才能茁壮成长。有了和平稳定，人类才能更好实现自己的梦想。历史告诉我们，和平是需要争取的，和平是需要维护的。只有人人都珍惜和平、维护和平，只有人人都记取战争的惨痛教训，和平才是有希望的。历史是最好的老师，它忠实记录下每一个国家走过的足迹，也给每一个国家未来的发展提供启示。中国人历来讲求“己所不欲，勿施于人”。中国需要和平，就像人需要空气一样，就像万物生长需要阳光一样。

参考译文：

Since time immemorial,peace has been people' s most enduring aspiration.Peace is as warm as sunshine and as moist as rain and dew with which all things on earth could thrive.Only with peace and stability can human beings realize their dreams better.Historical experience tells us that peace need to be striven for safeguarded.Peace can be hopeful only when everyone cherish and maintain it and always remember painful lessons of the war.History is the best teacher who keeps a fair of the paths that all countries have traveled and provided enlightenment for their future development.Chinese people are particular about “Don' t do to others what you don' t want others to do to you” all long.Peace is to China what air is to people as well as sunshine is to all things growing.中囯政府宣布每年的8月8日为“全民健身日”(National Fitness Day)，推动全民健身。这一举动不仅在全国范围内普及了健康理念，还使人们锻炼的方式更加多样化。每天早晨，喜欢户外运动的老年人会聚集(congregate)在公园里锻炼身体，如打太极拳(tai chi)、跳彩带舞(ribbon dancing)等。公园里那些低冲击力的公共健身器材和新鲜的空气十分适合他们。相反，年轻人则发起了一股室内健身热潮。比起户外活动，他们更喜欢选择华丽的健身房。在他们看来，健身房既时尚又充满动感。

参考译文：

The Chinese government announced the annual August 8 as the “National Fitness Day” to promote physical activities throughout the country.This move not only popularizes the concept of keeping fit around the nation,but also diversifies the methods of taking exercise.Every morning,senior citizens who are in favor of outdoor activities congregate in the park to do exercise,such as tai chi,ribbon dancing, and the like.Low-impact public fitness facilities and fresh air in the park suit them well.On the contrary,young people initiate an indoor fitness fad.They prefer fancy gyms to outdoor activities.In their eyes,fancy gyms are not only fashionable but also dynamic.目前在中国的网民中有80%的人经常浏览或有时浏览电子商务网站。价格相对较低的图书、音像制品、鲜花、礼品以及票务服务等是近期网上消费的主要热点。网民最常使用的网络服务是电子邮件，平均每位用户拥有2至3个账号。除此之外，人们越来越多地上网听音乐、看电影。而网民最反感的问题是网络病毒、弹出式(pop.up)广告和网络入侵。

参考译文: Eighty percent of China's net users frequently or occasionally visite-business websites.Less expensive merchandises, such as books, audio and video products, flowers and other gifts and ticket service now lead China'sonline consumption.The most frequently used Internet service is e-mail.On average, each subscriber owns 2 to 3 e-mail accounts.Moreover, listening to music and watching movies online are becoming more popular.Aside from Internet viruses, Internet suffers said they are most annoyed by pop-up ads and net attacks.在中国，就业方面的不平等现象仍然是一个严重的问题。性别歧视的根本原因是,“男尊女卑(female inferiority)”的错误观念在许多人心目中仍根深蒂固。为了解决这个问题，应该逐渐形成一种新的性别文化，以增加两性间的和谐，政府也应该探索可以提升女性就业前景的市场机制。这是一个长期而艰巨的任务，需要所有政府部门的投人和协作。在家庭暴力(domestic violence)的问题上，完善法律体制将是解决这个问题的最好的办法。

参考译文: Inequality in employment is still a serious issue in China.The fundamental cause of gender discrimination is the incorrect idea of female inferiority that is still ingrained in many people's minds.In solving this problem,a new gender culture should be cultivated to increase harmony between the two sexes and the government should explore market mechanisms that can promote women's job prospects.It is a long and arduous task that requires input and coordination from all government agencies.On the issue of domestic violence,improving the legal system would be the best way to deal with it.火锅中，重庆火锅(hotpot)最著名，也最受欢迎。重庆人认为以麻辣(peppery and hot)著称的火锅是当地特色。人们喜欢围在用木炭(charcoal)、电热或天然气加热的火锅旁边吃边聊美味和有营养的食物。人们可以选择辣汤、清汤以及鸳鸯(combo)锅底，再将肉片、鱼片、各种豆腐产品和蔬菜加进火锅，之后蘸上特制酱料即可食用。在寒冷的冬天里，吃火锅成为一件惬意十足的事情。

参考翻译: Chongqing hotpot is the most famous and popular of all hotpots.In the eyes of people in Chongqing,hotpot noted for its peppery and hot taste is a local specialty.People enjoy gathering around a hotpot heated with charcoal, electricity or natural gas and chatting over the delicious and nutritious food.You have a choice of spicy, pure or combo for the soup, into which you may add thin sliced meat, fish, various bean curd products and vegetables, and dip them into a special sauce before eating.It is a very delightful experience to eat hotpot in the cold winter.在中国人们见面时喜欢问：“你去哪儿?”或“你吃了吗?”大多数时候人们并非真正想知道你要去哪里或吃饭了没有。实际上那只是一种打招呼的方式。与西方的风俗相似，当你与—个陌生人开始交谈时，诸如天气、食物或爱好之类的话题可能是打破坚冰的不错选择。询问私人问题时应当慎重，但是聊些关于家乡、工作方面的话題则通常可以使谈话顺利进行。

参考译文

In China, people like to ask “Where are you heading for?” or “Have you eaten yet?” when they meet each other.For most of the time, they do not really want to know where you are going to or whether you have eaten or not.Actually, that is just a way to greet each other.Similar to western customs, when you start talking with a stranger, topics such as weather, food or hobby may be good choices to break the ice.You should be cautious when you ask private questions.But a chat about one's hometown or job can usually go on smoothly.在网上看电视节目已经成为中国城市上班族日常生活的一部分。譬如说在上海，许多白领会午休时在桌子上看他们最爱的电视节目，而乘地铁回家时候也要看，甚至走在熙熙攘攘的人行道上还要看。目前，管理部门正计划限制网上的国外娱乐产品。对网上外国节目内容审查有多严格，目前还不清楚。但监管部门呼吁要有展现良好价值观的健康，精良的作品。

For young office workers in China's cities, watching TV programs online has become a part of daily life.In Shanghai, for example, many office workers watch their favorite TV shows at their desks during lunch-hours, on the metro on the way home, or even while walking on the city's crowded pavements.Nowadays, the regulators are planning to restrict foreign entertainment online.It is not clear how strictly the content of foreign programs shown online will be vetted.But the regulators call for healthy and well-made works which showcase good values.（文章并非本人原创，是从网络中摘抄过来的，集中在一起，方便大家学习）
