第二篇:2016大学英语四级 翻译练习
世界贸易组织成立于1995年1月1日,目的是确保一个稳定的全球和贸易经济环境。在当今世界上的190多个国家中,世界贸易组织的成员国(member country)有158个。在处理国家之间的贸易规则方面,世界贸易组织是唯一的全球性国际组织。世贸组织的事务应该引起我们的关注,因为世贸组织制定的规则对我们国家的经济和国民生活都有一定的影响。The WTO(World Trade Organization),established on January 1, 1995, aims to ensure a stable trade and economic world environment.The WTO is an association of 158 member countries, of more than 190 countries in the world today.The WTO is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations.The business of the WTO should be of interest to us because the rules that are being decided therein have an impact on our national economy, and peoples lives.2 奥运会是国际性的体育盛会(sporting events),体育项目种类繁多,分为夏冬两季,均是每4年举办一次。最初有记载的奥运会于公元前776年在希腊的奥林匹亚(Olympia)举行。奥运会是最大的媒体活动之一。2000年悉尼奥运会上,有超过1.6万名播音员和新闻记者参与报道。据估计,有38亿观众通过电视收看了此届盛会。然而,奥运会的发展也是奥运会面临的一个大问题。
The Olympic Games are an international multisport event subdivided into summer and winter sporting events.The summer and winter games are each held every four years.The original Olympic Games were first recorded in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece.The Olympics are one of the largest media events.In Sydney in 2000 there were more than 16 000 broadcasters and journalists, and an estimated 3.8 billion viewers watched the games on television.However, the development of the Olympics is one of the largest problems the Olympics face today.3 《三国演义》由罗贯中创作于14世纪,是一部中国历史题材小说。小说以汉朝末年和三国时期的历史演变为背景,叙述了在这个动荡(turbulent)时期发生的一系列重大事情。整个故事情节从公元168年开始一直到公元280年领土统一(reunification)时结束。小说篇幅长达80万字,分为120个章节,共描述了1 191个人物角色,堪称中国文学史上四大经典小说之一。
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, written by Luo Guanzhong in the 14th century, is a Chinese historical novel based upon events in the turbulent years near the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, starting in AD 168 and ending with the reunification of the land in AD 280.It is acclaimed as one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature, with a grand total of 800 000 words, 1 191 characters, and 120 chapters.4 秧歌舞(Yangko)是中国汉族的一种传统民间舞蹈,通常在北方省份表演。秧歌舞者通常穿上明亮多彩的表演服装(costume),他们的表演动作有力而迅速。在农历春节、元宵节等节日期间,人们一旦听到锣(gong)鼓声,不管外面天气有多冷,他们都会蜂拥到街上观看秧歌舞表演。近年来,中国东北某些城市的老年人自发组织了秧歌队,队员常年通过跳秧歌舞来保持健康,同时他们也乐在其中。The Yangko dance is a traditional folk dance of the Han Chinese, commonly performed in the northern provinces.Yangko dancers usually wear bright and colorful costumes, and their movements are vigorous and quick.During holidays such as lunar New Year and the Lantern Festival, as soon as people hear the sound of drums and gongs they swarm into the streets to watch Yangko dance performances, no matter how cold it is outside.In recent years, elderly people in some cities in Northeast China have been organizing themselves into Yangko teams, with the dancers mostly enjoying themselves while keeping fit all year round.5 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 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 of the practice of eating together.6 川剧(Sichuan Opera)就像四川火锅以及其他的名菜一样动人、丰富。变脸(Face Changing)是川剧中的一大亮点。据说古人在他们的脸上作画,[JP2]以便赶走野生动物。川剧吸收了这一古老的技艺并将其升华为一门艺术。变脸是一门神奇的艺术。演员在不到20秒的时间内要换十多次脸谱。通过举手、摆袖或摇头,演员使用不同的脸谱来表现不同的情绪,并通过看得见摸得着的脸谱表达出看不见摸不着的感情。
Sichuan Opera(Chuan Ju), like hotpot and other famous Sichuan dishes, is exciting and rich.Face Changing is the highlight of Sichuan Opera.It is said that ancient people painted their faces to drive away wild animals.Sichuan Opera absorbs this ancient skill and perfects it into an art.Face Changing is a magical art.Actors change more than 10 masks in less than 20 seconds.By raising the hand, swinging a sleeve or tossing the head, an actor uses different masks to show different emotions, expressing invisible and intangible feelings through visible and tangible masks.7 长城作为世界上最伟大的奇观之一,是古代中国在不同时期为抵御北方游牧民族(nomadic tribe)侵袭而修筑的规模浩大的军事工程的统称。如同巨龙一般,长城自东向西绵延8 800多公里。距今已有2 000多年历史的万里长城很多地方已经变成了废墟,但是它仍然是世界上最具吸引力的地方。1987年,长城被联合国教科文组织(UNESCO)列为世界文化遗产。The Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders in the world, is the general name of a series of largescale military constructions during different periods in ancient China, hoped for the defense against the invasion of nomadic tribes from the north.Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall stretches over 8 800 kilometers from east to west of China.With a history of more than 2 000 years, many sections of the Great Wall have been in ruins now.However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the world.In 1987, the Great Wall was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.8 光棍节,又称“双十一”,最初是由大学生发起的单身人士的情人节,现在已经从最初的庆祝单身变成了中国人的一个网购狂欢节。过去六年里,中国的电商(ecommerce)巨头们开始利用这一商机,通过打折促销吸引顾客,提高销售收入。天猫(Tmall.com)双十一一天的销售额从2009年的5 000万飙升至2013年的350亿。邮政部门(the State Post Bureau)表示由于准备充分,尽管订单增加,快递业务仍然运行正常。
Singles Day, also named the Double 11 Day, which originated with college students as an alternative to Valentines Day for single people, now has transformed its original function as a day of celebration for the great unloved into a day of crazy online shopping for the Chinese people.Over the past six years, Singles Day has been taken advantage of by Chinese ecommerce giants by offering discounts and launching sales campaigns on that day to attract customers and boost sales income.Sales at Tmall.com on Singles Day have snowballed from 50 million yuan in 2009 to 35 billion yuan in 2013.The State Post Bureau said that thanks to adequate preparation, express deliveries were running on schedule despite the increase in orders.9 对于中国人来说,“面子”十分重要,它指的是一个人根源于自尊的名誉观。大部分中国人都认为,有面子是最重要的事情之一,丢面子则会带来巨大的痛苦。因此,人们必须了解并遵守面子规则,如果违反就会受到严厉的惩罚。然而,有时候一个人丢面子不仅仅是因为他们的行为不符合社会的要求,还可能是由于别人的行为没有符合他个人的期待。
Face is immensely important for the Chinese.It can be defined as a notion of ones reputation rooted in selfesteem.Most of the Chinese people believe that to have face is one of the most valued things, while to lose face is a cause of great anguish.Thus, people are expected to know and abide by the rules of face and are penalized harshly if they break them.However, sometimes a person could lose face not only because of his failure to match up to societys obligations on him, but also from the failure of others to act in accordance with his expectations of them.武术在我国源远流长,是中国传统文化的瑰宝(gem)。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的其他地方而成为人类的共同财富。为了更好地推广武术,使其与奥运项目接轨,中国武协和国际武联(the Chinese Wushu Association and the International Wushu Federation)做了艰苦卓绝的工作。现在武术已被列为一种与保龄球(bowling)和国际标准舞(international standard dance)有同等地位的奥运表演项目。
With a long history in China, wushu is a gem of Chinese traditional culture.As we all know, the excellent cultural heritage of a nation doesnt belong to the nation alone but will be spread to the rest of the world gradually to be shared by all humanity.The Chinese Wushu Association and the International Wushu Federation have been working very hard to popularize wushu and move it closer to the Olympic events.Now, wushu has been accepted as an Olympic demonstration event with the same status as bowling and international standard dance.11 旗袍(Qipao)是中国独特的传统服饰。旗袍原本是满族(Manchu)妇女的服装,穿在身上非常宽松,直上直下,中间没有腰线。后来一些汉族的女性对这种服饰进行了改造,使它更加合身、性感。20世纪20年代,旗袍在上海的女学生中变得非常流行。旗袍一般是由丝绸制成,领口、袖口和腋襟上都绣有精细的花边。旗袍体现了中国女性的端庄、温柔和美丽。
Qipao is a unique kind of traditional Chinese attire.Originally worn by Manchu women, Qipao fitted loosely and hung straight down the body with no waistlines.And then some Han Chinese ladies carried out some improvements on the design, making it more fitting and sexier.When it came to the 1920s, Qipao became very popular among the girl students in Shanghai.Qipao is usually made of silk, and embroidered with delicate laces at the neckline, cuffs and edges.Qipao embodies Chinese womens modesty, softness and beauty.中国石窟(grotto)主要反映的是佛教文化艺术。敦煌莫高窟、大同云冈石窟、洛阳龙门石窟、天水麦积山石窟,号称中国四大石窟艺术景观。佛教石窟随山雕凿、彩绘,形象生动自然,将崇高美(sublimity)与世俗情(secular feeling)融为一体,把天然造化与人工创造有机结合,是由建筑、绘画、雕塑等组成的博大精深、绚丽夺目的综合艺术殿堂。其艺术成就为世界所瞩目,已成为重要的世界文化遗产。
Chinese grottoes mainly reflect the art of Buddhist culture.In China, there are four major art landscapes of grottoes: the Mogao Grottoes at Dunhuang, the Yungang Grottoes at Datong, the Longmen Grottoes at Luoyang, and the Maijishan Grottoes at Tianshui.Carved and painted on mountains, the Buddhist grottoes mingle both sublimity and secular feelings together, presenting us a vivid and natural appearance.They embody the systematic combination of both the exceptional artistry of great nature and the extremely fine craftsmanship of mankind.The Chinese Buddhist grottoes are regarded as a profound and stunning general art gallery, displaying the art of architecture, painting, sculptures and etc.The artistic achievements of Chinese grottoes have attracted the attention of the world, and have become an important international cultural heritage.13 中国古典文学包括诗歌、散文、小说及词(ci)、赋(fu)、曲(qu)等多种文体,艺术表现手法丰富各异。小说历史悠久,并在明清时期达到巅峰。小说中的《三国演义》《水浒传》《西游记》《红楼梦》被称为中国四大古典文学名著,至今在国内外都有着广泛而深远的影响。研读四大名著能够了解中国传统人文社会、民俗,是汲取古代文明精粹、处世为人策略与智慧的重要途径。
Chinese classical literature includes poetry, prose, fiction, and ci(new lyrics written to preexisting tunes), fu(“descriptive poems” of prosepoetry), qu(a freer form based on the new popular songs and dramatic arias), and many other styles.Its artistic expressions are various in techniques.Chinese fiction has a long history, reaching its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Four classics of Chinese literature are Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Pilgrimage to the West, and A Dream of Red Mansions, which have extensive and farreaching significance both on a national and international level.Through reading “the four famous novels” carefully, you can understand traditional Chinese society and human culture, and its folklore.And it is an important way to absorb the quintessence of ancient culture as well as to pick up strategies and wisdom on how to get along with others.14 泰山(Mount Tai)位于山东中部,占地426平方千米,最高峰“玉皇顶(the Jade Emperor Peak)”海拔约1 545米。泰山以恢宏的自然景观著称于世,山上点缀着寺庙、石碑和石刻(stone inscription)。身为中国五大名山之首,泰山备受佛教(Buddhism)和道教(Taoism)的推崇。中国的很多皇帝都曾到泰山敬拜天地。传统观念认为泰山是每天太阳最先升起的地方。因此为了到泰山之巅看日出,成千上万的人午夜就开始攀登泰山。
Located in central Shandong Province, Mount Tai covers 426 square kilometers with its highest peak, the Jade Emperor Peak, reaching about 1 545 meters above sea level.Mount Tai earns a reputation for its imposing natural scenery festooned with a chain of temples, stone tablets and stone inscriptions.As the first of the “Five Great Mountains” in China, Mount Tai is revered both in Buddhism and Taoism.Many emperors in China visited it to hold the Heaven Worship ceremony.Traditional belief maintains that each day begins with the sun rising at Mount Tai, thus thousands of sun worshipers climbed it from as early as midnight in order to appreciate sunrise at its peak.中国古代四大艺术中的“画”特指国画。其绘画形式是用毛笔蘸墨、颜料作画于绢或宣纸之上,古代称之为水墨丹青(inkpainting)。为区别于西方的油画而称之为中国画,简称“国画”。其题材有人物、山水、花鸟等。技法可分为工笔(fine brushwork)和写意(freehand brushwork)。国画的艺术特质在于“笔墨”,强调以形写神,画尽意在。国画在艺术创作上反映了中华民族的审美意识和情趣。
Painting in the four art forms in ancient China particularly refers to traditional Chinese painting.Traditional Chinese painting is done with a brush dipped into black or colored ink and is painted on spun silk or xuan paper.In ancient China, it was called inkpainting.In order to distinguish it from Western oilpaintings, the Chinese people term their works “Chinese painting”, short for traditional Chinese painting.The subject matters of Chinese paintings are typically figures, landscapes, birds and flowers.The drawing skills and techniques employed by the Chinese painters can be divided into two forms: fine brushwork and freehand brushwork.The artistic characteristics of Chinese painting lie in “the writing brush and ink”.Chinese painting emphasizes using the shape to convey the feelings of the painter.Even though a painting is a finished product, it endlessly conveys a meaning.In terms of the artistic creation, Chinese painting is a reflection of the aesthetic consciousness and artistic sentiment of the Chinese people.16 瓷器(porcelain)是中国最为重要的手工艺品之一。中国瓷器有3 500多年的历史,明清时期尤其繁荣。瓷器不仅可以用作日常餐具(dinnerware)、花瓶等,精美的瓷器更是常常被人们用来装饰家居。作为高档艺术品的象征,真品瓷器常常具有极高的艺术价值和经济价值,因此,常被很多人视为珍藏品。中国瓷器受到各国人民的欢迎,经常被用作表达中外友谊的礼物。Porcelains are one of Chinas most important handicrafts.Chinese porcelains have a history of more than 3 500 years, their most prosperous period being Ming and Qing Dynasties.Porcelains can be used as daily dinnerware and vases, and delicate porcelains are even commonly used for home decorations by people.As the symbols of highend works of art, authentic porcelains are often of extremely high artistic and economic value and therefore they are often regarded as precious collections by many people.Chinese porcelains are popular with people around the world, and they are often used as presents for expressing friendship between Chinese and foreign people.17 酒是中国人生活中的重要饮品之一。中国制酒源远流长,享誉中外。在中国最具有代表性的酒莫过于白酒(liquor)了,从某种角度上来说,中国的酒文化就是白酒文化。酒在中国人眼里更多的是一种交际的工具。酒在中国人生活中占有重要的位置,渗透于(permeate)整个中华五千年的文明史中,包括文学创作、娱乐、烹饪、养生保健等各方面。
Alcohol is one of the important drinks in Chinese peoples life.Chinese alcoholmaking has a long history and has been renowned at home and abroad.In China, no alcohol is more representative than Chinese liquor and at some point, Chinese alcohol culture is Chinese liquor culture.Alcohol is more of a communication tool in Chinese peoples eyes.Alcohol has permeated 5 000 years civilization of the whole Chinese history, which plays an important role in every aspect of Chinese peoples life, from literary creation and entertainment to cooking and health preservation.18 11月11日由四个1构成,因此每年此日就是光棍节(Singles Day)。20世纪90年代,南京众多大学首先开始庆祝光棍节。正如其名,这个新节日是专门为单身人士设立的。近年来,中国成为世界上互联网用户最多的国家,而单身人士是网购的主力军(main force),许多电子商务平台(platform)就在光棍节当天开展促销活动以吸引中国不计其数的单身人士前来购物。目前,光棍节已成为中国人疯狂网购的日子。
Singles Day falls on every November 11th because the date is comprised of four “ones”.It was initially celebrated at many universities in Nanjing during the 1990s.As the name indicates, this new holiday is one exclusively for people who are still living a single life.In recent years, as China has become a country with the worlds biggest population of Internet users and the single people are the main force of Chinas online spending power, many ecommerce platforms launch promotion campaigns on the day in order to attract countless single people around China to their websites.Singles Day has become a day of crazy online shopping among the Chinese now.19 随着城市化(urbanization)进程的加快,越来越多的农民工(migrant worker)在城市里安顿下来。他们把子女接到城里来,希望孩子能接受到更好的教育。然而,这些农民工发现现实并不像他们预期的那么美好。城市公立学校的设施和师资远远不能满足大批农民工子女的需求。幸运的是,农民工子女的教育已成为政府议事日程上优先处理的问题。
With the acceleration of urbanization, an increasing number of migrant workers settle down in the cities.They bring their children along with them to the cities, with the hope of their children receiving better education.However, the migrants find the reality is not as promising as theyve expected.The facilities and faculties in the urban public schools are far from enough to meet the needs of the big group of migrant children.Luckily, the education problem of the migrant children has become a priority on the governments agenda.20 杭州市拥有世界上最大的公用自行车系统(bike sharing system)。目前杭州市共有2 700个公用自行车租赁站点,共计66 500辆车。计划至2020年,公共自行车的数量将增至175 000辆。租用自行车需要智能卡(smart card),可在任意站点租车、在任意站点还车。租车骑行1小时内免费,1小时以上则按每小时1元收费。公用自行车系统对缓解杭州市的交通拥堵(congestion)起到了很大的作用。
With 66 500 bikes in 2 700 renting stations in the city now, Hangzhou owns the largest bike sharing system in the world.It plans to increase to 175 000 bikes by 2020.For renting a bike, one needs a smart card.One can rent a bike and return it at any station.Bike users can ride for free for the first hour and pay 1 yuan per hour for the extra time.The system is of great help to relieve the traffic congestion in Hangzhou city.

中国画
中国画线条简单,却能给人无限的想象空间。所以中国人看画,事实上是在心里作画。也许有人会问:中国的山水画家为什么老是喜欢画一些简陋的茅屋,而不画高大的建筑呢?这是因为中国人觉得物质生活是短暂的,人的精神却是永恒的。一个人如果领悟了天地的辽阔,山水的悠久,他还能不察觉自己的渺小,而变得谦虚吗? Chinese painting Chinese painting, though simple in line, inspires a boundless realm of imagination.Therefore, when Chinese people appreciate their painting, they are actually painting in their mind.Some may ask;why do Chinese landscape painters love to paint shabby thatched cottages instead of high buildings? It is because they sense the brevity of physical life but he eternity of the human spirit.If one realizes the boundlessness of heaven and earth and the eternity of mountains and rivers, how could he be otherwise than humble at his own insignificance in the universe?
谦虚
中国人说话总是很客气,这并不是中国人虚伪,而是他们处世做人的一种基本态度---谦虚。中国人一向不愿跟别人争胜,但是自己一定要怀抱着高远的理想。如果他说没有什么菜,意思是说:不管拿出多少好吃的东西来款待你,仍然不能充分表示对你的尊重和欢迎。在中国的山水画里往往没有人,就是有,也画得很小,只能算点缀。这是中国人对大自然的谦虚,他把自己融入风景里,而不让风景来陪衬自己。
Chinese people are always humble in conversation.It is not out of deceit, but out of their basic principle for conducting themselves in life: modesty.They don’t often want to contend for the upper hand, but certainly hold lofty ambition within themselves.By saying there is not much to eat, they mean that no matter how much delicious food may be served, it is never enough to show their respect for and hospitability towards you.In Chinese paintings, there are no humans, or if there are any they are merely tiny adornments.It is out of their humility in nature, by blending humans into the scenery instead of highlighting humans above it.烧菜
烧菜是一种艺术。所以会烧菜的人一定懂得配菜,知道哪几种菜配在一起,颜色鲜明可爱;哪一种菜要加些什么作料才好吃;烧哪些菜要用快火,哪些菜要用慢火。这些事都不简单,全靠厨子的技术和经验;做久了,自然熟能生巧。中国人讲究生活的艺术,如果只有很少的菜钱,他们就特别用些心思,把简单的食物做得味道鲜美,增加生活的乐趣。Cooking Cooking can be considered an art.A good chef know how to complement material in the dish.He has the knowledge of what ingredients make lovely bright colors, of the spices that make a dish delicious, and of the need for quick heat or slow fire to make dishes taste right.All this is not simple, but is dependent on the technique and experience of the chef, who can only reach perfection after long practice.Chinese people stress the art of living.If they have but little to expend on food, they will pay special attention to the cooking, making delicious dishes out of the simple ingredients that add spice to life.自强不息
中华文明历来注重自强不息,不断革故鼎新。“天行健,君子以自强不息。”这是中国的一句千年传世格言。中华民族之所以能在5000多年的历史进程中发展壮大,历经挫折而不屈,屡遭坎坷而不馁,靠的就是这样一种发疯图强、坚忍不拔与时俱进的精神。中国人民在克服前进道路上的各种困难中表现出来的顽强毅力,正是这种自强不息精神的生动写照。Self-improvement Chinese civilization has always emphasized unremitting self-improvement, reform and innovation.An ancient Chinese motto has been handed down to generations for thousands of years, i.e., “As Heaven keeps vigorous through movement, a gentleman should unremittingly practice self-improvement.” Throughout its 5,000-year history, it is thanks to perseverance, determination, stamina and innovation that the Chinese nation has grown after surviving numerous setbacks and adversity.Chinese people’s great tenacity in overcoming difficulties on the road to progress gives expression to their traditional spirit of unremitting self-improvement..

4.Cancer is ______________(仅次于)heart disease as a cause of death.5.It is a pity that we should stay at home when we have____________________(这么好的天气)。
答案:
1.not so much a writer
(“与其说,不如说”可以用not so much„as„的结构来表达)
2.derives pleasure from helping others
(“derive from ”意为“从„获得„”,from是介词,所以后面要接动名词。要注意区分“derive„from”和“deprive sb.Of„”后者意为“剥夺某人的„”)
3.was finally called off/cancelled because of the bad weather
(分析题干可知句子的主语为“the sports meet”, which was planned to be held last Friday是修饰它的定语从句,且事情发生在过去,故谓语动词应该用过去时单数。因动词“取消”的逻辑主语不是句子的主语,因此要用被动语态。“取消”的表达法有“call off,cancel”等)

2.It is because she is too inexperienced

(“be being done”现在进行时的被动语态表示此时此刻某事正在被做,其中动词be应随主语作相应变化)
4.for fear that he should be recognized

练习1 • 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。

Chinese and overseas enterprises.练习2
• 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.练习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.练习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 Duanwu 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.练习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.练习6通常看一个读些什么书就可知道他的为人,就像看他同什么人交往就可知道他的为人一样,因为有人以人为伴,也有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友,我们都应该以最好的为伴。但如果你放下了一本你不喜欢看的书而不断地去找寻另外一本对你有意义的书,因为这样一本书让你得到消遣放松,你确定很享受——因为阅读,你变得更好,更聪慧,更和善或者说更文雅,如果没有阅读的过程你什么也享用不了。他认为这本书和书中的知识只是违背他自身世界的另一个世界,一个他不存在也不想介入的世界,一个可恨的老师们代表着和标榜着的世界。
.A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps;for there is a companionship of books as well as of men;and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.But if you put down a book you don‟t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time—and if you become as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder or more gentle, you won‟t have suffered during the process.He felt that books and the knowledge in them were part of a world that was against him, a world to which he did not belong and which he did not want to enter, the world of which the hateful teachers were representatives and symbols.练习7我们对历史的爱好起源于我们最初仅对一些历史上的宏伟场面和激动人心的事件感到孩童般的兴趣;其后,这种爱好变得成熟起来,我们开始对历史这出“戏剧”的多样性和复杂性,对历史上的辉煌成就和悲壮失败也感兴趣;对历史的爱好,最终以我们对人类生命的一种深沉的神秘感而告结束。对死去的,无论是伟大与平凡,所有在这个地球上走过而已逝的人,都有能取得伟大奇迹或制造可怕事件的潜力。
.It begins as a childlike interest in the grand spectacle and exciting event;it grows as a mature interest in the variety and complexity of the drama, the splendid achievements and terrible failures;it ends as deep sense of the mystery of man„s life of all the dead, great and obscure, who once walked the earth, and of wonderful and awful possibilities of being a human being.中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如,我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代 诗人屈原的日子。那一天,人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征 着圆满,象征着家庭团聚。因此,中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国 的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday),除了常见的家禽和肉类之外,人们还要按各自的地方习俗 烹制传统食物,如铰子和年糕。
Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals.For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day.The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon.The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion.The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake.The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday.Besides the popular poultry and meat, people
cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the “ 1 ” new year cake
练习8北京有无数的胡同(hutong)。平民百姓在胡同里的生活给古都北京带来了无穷的魅力。北京的胡同不仅仅 是平民百姓的生活环境,而且还是一门建筑艺术。通常,胡同内有一个大杂院,房间够4到10个家庭的差不多20 口人住。所以,胡同里的生活充满了友善和人情味。如今,随着社会和经济的飞速发展,很多胡同被新的高楼大 厦所取代。但愿胡同可以保留下来
In Beijing, there are numerous hutongs.The life of common people in hutongs brings endless charm to the ancient capital, Beijing.The hutong in Beijing is not only the living environment of common people but also a kind of architecture.Usually, there is a courtyard complex inside hutong, with rooms shared by 4 to 10 families of about 20 people.Therefore, life in hutongs is full of friendliness and genuine humanity.Nowadays, with rapid social and economic development, many hutongs are replaced by new tall buildings.I hope hutongs can be preserved.练习9过去的七年,中国的房地产(real estate)业经历了前所未有的高速增长。对于那些月薪较低却渴望在大城市 拥有一套属于自己的体面、舒适的栖身之所的人来说,高昂的房价是他们无法承受的负担。鉴于这一状况,政府近来采取了一系列的措施来防止房价过快增长,包括提高利率及增加房产税等。目前,这些措施在部分城市已经 取得了初步的成效
In the past seven years, China’s real estate industry has developed in a record high speed.For those who earn less but are eager to own a decent and comfortable place of their own in a big city, the high housing price is a heavy burden that they cannot afford.For this reason, the government has taken a series of measures to prevent the housing price from rising too fast, including raising interest rates and increasing taxes on real estate etc.Presently, these measures have achieved initial effects in some cities.练习10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.Assignments: Students are required to finish all the related exercises in the book.
