英语四级翻译题

第一篇：英语四级翻译题

1.It作形式主语时的常用句型

㈠形式一：It is+形容词+that/wh-从句

例：It is important_____________________(保持生态平衡)。

答案：that we should keep the balance of nature

(本题考查It 作形式主语时的用法，英语中的主语从句有时为了避免头重脚轻，常用it 作形式主语，而真正的主语用that引导放在后面)

㈡形式二：It+不及物动词+that„

例：He has been here only three days and_______________________(由此可见他对那事一无所知)。

答案：it follows that he knows nothing about that

(本题考查 It+不及物动词+that„结构，注意前后句子时态的一致)

㈢形式三：It+be+名词+that„

例：It is our wish that__________________(他爱怎么样就怎么样)

答案：he does what he pleases

(本题考查 It作形式主语的同时，涉及了考试大虚拟语气的考查，在it is our wish/hope that 等结构中，从句子的谓语动词要用should+动词原形这样的虚拟语气)

㈣形式四：It+be+done+that„

例：It is said that____________________(宇宙形成于一次大爆炸以后)

答案：the universe formed after the Big Explode

(本题考查 It作形式主语的用法，常用于It+be+done+that„，结构的动词有report, announce, expert等，常译为“据说”，“据报道”)

1.He told us not to wait for him because___________________(他是否来还不敢肯定)。

2.He has no intention of making progress so__________________(你老是帮助他是没有用的)

3.（后来证实）________________she is a friend of my sister.4.Nevertheless,_________________(不可否认的是)，it can bring some side-effects

3.The room is in a terrible mess,it____________________(肯定没打扫过)。

4.（这个计划成功的关键）____________________is good planning.5.When I __________________(发现他骗我)I stopped buying things there and started dealing with another shop.答案：

1.nor did she ever lose temper/become angry

(本题有两个考察点，第一，表示“两个都不”的否定词应该用nor，要把它置于句首句子要有倒装，第二，“发脾气”的表达法：lose temper/become angry)

2.draw /attract reader’s attention

(考察draw /attract reader’s attention “引起某人注意”，so as to 后接do sth.)

3.can’t have been cleaned

(“情态动词+have done”表示推测，can’t表示不可能，如考试大推测的事为过去式，则情态动词后用完成式)

4.The key to the success of this project

(key在这里解答、关键，其后一般接介词to)

5.found/caught him cheating me

(本题考察find/catch+宾语+宾补结构，表示发现某人做某事，cheat是及物动词，直接接宾语）2否定句

㈠部分否定句

部分否定句虽然是否定句的形式，但其否定意义只局限于整体的一部分。其形式为：概括词all, both, every, everybody, everything, everywhere, always, altogether, entirely和wholly等。

例：There is a famous proverb saying that_______________________(闪光的东西并非都是金子）

答案：all that glitters is not gold

(本题主要考察部分否定句。该谚语中，that glitters是一个定语从句，修饰前面的all)㈡完全否定句

完全否定句是针对部分否定句而言，这种否定是彻底的。其形式为：no,none等否定词+肯定式谓语，常见的可以用于这一句型的否定意义的词有：no, none, nobody, nowhere, anyhow, neither, never等，在这一句型中，不定代词不能做主语。还有一种形式为all等概括词+肯定式谓语+含否定意义的词。

例：Cheap as it is,but__________________(我今天无论如何都买不到)

答案：anyhow I will not buy it today

(本题主要考察完全否定句，anyhow意思是“无论如何都不”)

1.Don’t you be told that __________________(这两本书并非都是有益的)

2.Although most people like music,____________________________(但并非人人都想去听音乐会)

3.____________________________(他的一切计划都泡汤了),so don’t count on his fulfilling the task on time.4.He is so excited_______________________________(他此时此刻的心情是无法用语言来形容的)

答案：

1.both of the books are not helpful 2.everyone don’t want to go to the concert

3.All his plan came to nothing 4.that none of the words can describe his feelings ㈢双重否定句

①其形式一为：主语+cannot+help/refrain/keep+from+动名词。Help from, refrain from, keep from等词具有“抑制，忍住”等否定含义，与cannot等连用，具有双重否定的意义。

例：Having won the gold medal,___________________(他禁不住喜形于色)。

答案：he could not refrain from showing his pleasure.(本题考察双重否定句，refrain from的意思是“克制，避免”)

②其形式二为：主语+cannot+but/choose but/help but+动词原形。

例：_______________________(我们别无选择只好另投旅馆住宿)，since all the hotels here are with signs “Be Booked Up”.答案：We could not help but look for another one to stay in.(本题考察双重否定句，“cannot help but”句型，注意这里but后要用动词原形。)

③其形式三为：（There be）no+主语+but+谓语。在此句型中，but是关系代词，即代替前面的名词，又引导后面的从句，并且具有否定意义。

例：He is so devoted to his experiment that______________________(没有人感觉不到他对事业的热爱)。

答案：not a man/no man but felt his love to his career

(本题考察双重否定句型，“no+主语+but+谓语”，no相当于not a 或 not any)

1.___________________(我们忍不住笑起来)when he finished the story.2.______________________(人们不能不被他的事迹所感动)after knowing the bachelor has adopted five orphans.3.Don’t always stick to routines ,and you must know___________________(没有无例外的规则)。

答案：

1.We could not help laughing

2.One cannot but be moved by his deeds

3.there is no rule but has its exceptions 3.判断句

例：The rich have their annoyances because ________________(有些人除了钱之外一无所有)。

答案：someone have nothing but money

（本题考察强调判断句型“主语+be+nothing+(else)but”,the rich 意思是“富人”，属于“the+形容词”表示一类人或物，表示一类人作主语时，谓语用复数，表示抽象事物时，谓语用单数。

③ 形式三：It is/was+强调部分+that/who+从句

例：________________________(做那个实践的正是我父亲)in the lab yesterday.答案：It was my father who did the experiment.(本题考察强调判断句型,强调的宾语是the experiment,引导词用who)

3._____________________(这正是我父亲做的那个试验)in the lab yesterday.答案：1.was none other than our president

2.he did nothing else than laugh

3.It was the experiment that my father did

（二）正反判断句

① 形式一 ：主语+be +not+表语A +but+表语B

例：There are different opinions about the true meaning of life, but most people believe that_________________________________(生命并不一定要漫长，但是要五彩缤纷)。

答案：life is not always long but it must be amazing

(本题考察正反判断句，注意but后如果是一个完整的句子，主语一定要和前面的保持一致)

② 形式二：（It is）not „that(who)„,but„ that(who)„

例：It is not that I dislike the work,_________________________(而是我没有时间)

答案：but that I have no time

① 形式一：主语+be +less/more+表语A+ than+表语B

例：He does everything with great care but I think ________________________(与其说他谨慎，不如说他是怯懦)。

答案：he is more poltroon than cautious.(本题考察比较判断句型“more „ than ”的用法，它的意思是“与其说„不如说„”，more和than后接对称成分)

② 形式二：主语+be +not so much+表语A +as+表语B

例：Judging from his words, we can know that___________________________(他不是生病，而是情绪低落)。

2.Scientists believe that_____________________________(与其说海洋分隔了世界，倒不如说海洋连接了各国。）

1.the elephant is more like a spear than anything else 2.Oceans don’t so much divide the world as unite it 4.倍数表示句型

答案：produce four times as much grain as we did 2006

(本题考察倍数表达法，倍数表达法要分清是原来的几倍，此题“增加了3倍”即是原来的四倍，另外，as„as中间要用形容词原型。)

第二篇：2014英语四级翻译预测题

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。

key 1• China will develop its economy further and open itself wider to the outside world, which offers more business opportunities to overseas enterprises.SinceChina’s reform and opening up, Chinese 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.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。

Key 2• 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。Key 3• 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。Key 4• 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。

Key 5• 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.1． 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。

1．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.2．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。

答案 2．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

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.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.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, competitionamong 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.练习题一：Section ADirections: In this section, there is apassage with ten blanks.You are

American chipmaker, put the price of a new chip factory at around $10 billion.Happily for those

that lack Intel's resources, there may be a cheaper option—namely to mimic Mother Nature,who

has been building tiny(4), in the form of living cells and their components, for billions of years,and has thus got rather good at it.A paper published in Small, a nanotechnology journal , sets

field thanks to the presence within its cells of flecks of magnetite, a form of iron oxide.Previous

work has isolated the protein that makes these miniature compasses.Using genetic engineering,the team managed to persuade a different bacterium—Escherichia coli, a ubiquitous critter that is a

workhorse of biotechnology—to(7)this protein in bulk.Next, they imprinted a block of gold

with a microscopic chessboard pattern of chemicals.Half the squares contained anchoring points

for the protein.The other half were left untreated as controls.They then dipped the gold into a

solution containing the protein, allowing it to bind to the treated squares, and dunked the whole lot

into a heated(8)of iron salts.After that, they examined the results with an electron microscope.Sure enough, groups of magnetite grains had materialised on the treated squares, shepherded into

computer memory would be a long road.For a start, the grains of magnetite are not strong

enough magnets to make a useful memory, and the size of each domain is huge by modern

Nice juicy AppleALTHOUGH he is still(1)things up at Dell, an ailing computer-maker, Carl

Icahn has found time to tilt at another tech titan.On August 13th the veteran shareholder activist

(2)that he had built up a stake in Apple, though he stayed mum about exactly how many shares he

had bought.Mr Icahn’s intentions, however, are crystal clear: he wants the consumer-electronics

behemoth to expand plans to return some of its whopping $147 billion of cash and marketable

securities to shareholders.Mr Icahn is also after more money at Dell, where he has been lobbying with allies against a(3)buy-out plan put forward by Michael Dell, the firm’s founder, and Silver Lake, a private-equity firm.His pressing has already forced the buy-out group to raise its initial offer by over $350m, to $24.8 billion and he has taken his(4)to the courts in a bid to extract an even higher price.Other tech firms have been attracting the attention of activist investors too.Earlier this year ValueAct Capital, an investment fund, said it had built up a $2 billion stake in Microsoft.Jaguar Financial, a Canadian bank, has been(5)fresh thinking at troubled BlackBerry, which announced on August 12th that it is exploring various(6)options, including alliances and a possible sale.And Elliott Management, a hedge fund, has been lobbying for change at NetApp, a data-storage firm that it thinks could do more to improve returns to(7).One reason tech firms have found themselves in activists’ crosshairs is that, like Apple, some built up big cash piles during the economic downturn and have been slow to use the money.Financiers hope to get them to loosen their purse-strings faster and to pocket some of the cash.Mr Icahn wants Apple to increase and(8)a share buy-back programme that is currently set to return $60 billion to shareholders by the end of 2015.Another reason that tech firms make tempting targets for shareholder activists is that swift changes in technologies can trip up even the mightiest.Witness the case of Microsoft, which ruled the roost during the personal-computer era but has struggled to adapt to a world in which tablets and smartphones are all the rage.Investors hope to mint money by pushing companies to change more rapidly in response to such upheavals in their markets.The rewards can be substantial.Egged on by Third Point, an activist hedge fund, Yahoo

大熊猫是一种温顺的动物，长着独特的黑白皮毛。因其数量极少，大熊猫已被列为濒危物种。大熊猫对于世界自然基金会有着特殊意义。自1961年该基金会成立以来，大熊猫就一直是它的徽标。大熊猫是熊科中最稀有的成员，主要生活在中国西南部的森林里。目前，世界上大约有1000只大熊猫。这些以竹为食的动物正面临许多威胁。因此，确保大熊猫的生存比以往更重要。

Panda is a kind of docile animal, with unique black and white fur.Because of its scarcity, panda has been listed as the endangered species.Panda has been playing a special role in WWF.Panda has been the logo of WWF since it was founded in 1961.It is the rarest member among the ursidae animals, living mainly in the forests of the China Southwest.Up to now there are about 1000 pandas all over the world.These animals which live on bamboo face many threats.So it is more important to protect them than before.2014年12月 大学英语四级考试真题（第二套）

越来越多的中国年轻人正在对旅游产生兴趣，这是今年来的新趋势。年轻游客数量的不断增加，可以归因于他们迅速提高的收入和探索外部世界的好奇心。随着旅行多了，年轻人在大城市和著名景点花的时间少了，他们反而更为偏远的地方所吸引。有些人甚至选择长途背包旅行。最近调查显示，很多年轻人想要通过旅行体验不同的文化、丰富知识、扩展视野。

Chinese young people in mounting numbers come to be interested in tourism, which is a new trend of this year.Rising number of young tourists, can be attributed to their rapidly increase income and the curiosity to explore the outside world.With the increase of traveling, the young spend less time in big cities and famous attractions;they are more attracted to remote locations.Some people even choose backpacking trip for long-distance.Recent survey indicates that many young people want to travel to experience different culture, enrich knowledge and broaden view.2014年12月 大学英语四级考试真题（第三套）

中国应进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2%。该比例在所有核国家中居30位，几乎是最低的。

China lies in the east of Asia and it has the largest population in the world.China is also one of the four countries in the world that have an ancient civilization, Besides ,it has a vast territory with such abundant natural resources as dense forests, magnificent waterfalls, majestic and beautiful rivers and lakes, and mountains whose peaks reach high into the sky like swords.All these make China a singularly attractive place to tourists around the world.But, most importantly, China boasts a history of over five thousand years with innumerable historical relics left over from the long past, such as priceless pearls and jewels, historic sites and scenic spots, palaces and edifices of architectural richness, all of which have won people’s admiration.You are sure to find great enjoyment from all these attractions in China, a much-admired dream land.中华传统文化：中华民族的传统文化博大精深，源远流长。早在2000多年前，就产生了以孔孟为代表的儒家学说和以老庄为代表的道家学说，以及其他许多也在中国思想史上有地位的学说流派，这就是有名的“诸子百家”。从孔夫子到孙中山，中华民族传统文化有它的许多珍贵品质，许多人民性和民主性的好东西。比如，强调仁爱，强调群体，强调和而不同，强调天下为公。特别是“天下兴亡，匹夫有责”的爱国情找，“民为邦本”，“民贵君轻”的民本思想，“己所不欲勿施于人”的待人之道，吃苦耐劳，勤俭持家，尊师重教的传统美德，世代相传。所有这些，对家庭，国家和社会起到了巨大的维系与调节作用。

The traditional Chinese culture, both extensive and profound, starts far back and runs a long,long course.More than 2,000 years ago, there emerged in China Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism represented by Lao Zi and ZhuangZi, and many other theories and doctrines that figured prominently in the history of Chinese thought, all being covered by the famous term” the masters’hundred schools.” The traditional Chinese culture presents many precious idea sand qualities, which are essentially populist and democratic.For example, they lay stress on the importance of kindness and love in human relations, on the interest of the community, on seeking harmony without uniformity and on the idea that the world is for all.Especially, patriotism as embodied in the saying ”Everybody is responsible for the rise or fall of the country”;the populist ideas that “people are the foundation of the country” and that “people are the more important than the monarch”;the code of conduct of “Treat othersas you want to be treated”.And the traditional virtues taught from generation to generation: endurance and hard working diligence and frugality in household management ,and respecting teachers and valuing education.All of which have played a great role in binding and regulating the family, the country and the society.汉语：从某种意义上说，汉语是一种很古老的语言，其最早的汉字已有近四千年的历史了。汉字在其漫长的发展史中演化成许多不同的书写形式，例如篆书、隶书、楷书和行书。中国书法家往往使汉字的字形夸张以取得艺术效果，例如旅游胜地的一些石刻碑文。中国书法是一门研究艺术，随着各位学习兴趣的提高，我们将适时介绍中国书法的流派，以及如何欣赏中国书法的艺术性。

In a sense ,Chinese is a very old language, and its earliest characters date back nearly four thousand years ago.During their long history of development, Chinese characters have evolved into many different script forms, such as the Sealscript, Clerical script, Regular script and Running script.Chinese calligraphers usually render their Chinese characters in ways that exaggerate the form to yield artistic beauty, such as those in stone inscriptions seen in tourist resorts.Chinese calligraphy is a subject of artistic study.As your interest in Chinese character system increases in the days to come, we will introduce in due time the different schools of Chinese calligraphy, and how to appreciate the artistic beauty of Chinese calligraphy.孔子：孔子(ConfUcius)是一位思想家、政治家，教育家，也是中国儒学(the Ru School)思想的创始人。儒学(Confucianism)，这个道德和宗教哲学的大系统建立在孔圣人(Master Kung)的教学上。冯友兰，中国思想史上20世纪伟大的的权威之一，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 the teachings of Master Kung.Fung You-lan, one of the great 20th century authorities on the history of Chinese thought, compares Confucius9 influence in Chinese history with that of Socrates in the West.红楼梦：《红楼梦》问世二百年以来,通过汉文原文和各种译文读过此书的人,不知有多少亿!这么多的读者哪一个是先看批评家的文章,然而再让批评家牵着鼻子走,按图索骥地去读原作呢?我看是绝无仅有的。一切文学作品,特别是象《红楼梦》这样伟大的作品,内容异常地丰富,涉及到的社会层面异常地多,简直象是一个宝山，一座迷宫。而读者群就更加复杂，他们来读《红楼梦》，会各就自己的特点，欣赏该书中的某一个方面，受到鼓舞，受到启发，引起了喜爱;也可能受到打击，引起了憎恶。总之是千差万别。

Ever since the publication of A Dream of Red Mansions some 200 years ago, hundreds of millions of people have read its Chinese original or its translations in various languages.Of these innumerable people, how many have read the novel by starting with a perusal of the critics' articles and allowing themselves to be led by the nose by the critics as to how to read the novel? Next to none.All literary works, especially a monumental one like A Dream of Red Mansions, are extremely rich in content and involve perse social strata-to such an extent that they virtually resemble a mountain of treasure or a labyrinth.And the readers are even more complicated, differing from each other in family background.They will each appreciate a certain aspect of the novel according to their own inpiduality.They may feel inspired and enlightened, and hence love it, or they may feel hurt, and hence loathe it.In short, the reactions vary.二、传统节日 春节：春节庆祝活动是一年中最重要的庆祝活动。中国人庆祝春节的方式可能略微不同，但其愿望几乎是相同的，他们希望其家人和朋友来年健康和幸运。春节庆祝活动通常持续15天。庆祝活动包括春节的年夜饭，放鞭炮，给儿童压岁钱，春节钟声和春节问候。大多数中国人将在春节的第7天停止庆祝活动，因为全国性节假通常在这一天结束，但在公共场所的庆祝活动可能最终持续到正月十五。Chinese New Year Celebration is the most important celebration of the year.Chinese people may celebrate the Chinese New Year in slightly different ways but their wishes are almost the same;they want their family members and friends to be healthy and lucky during next year.Chinese New Year Celebration usually lasts for 15 days.Celebratory activities include Chinese New Feast, firecrackers, giving lucky money to children, the New Year bell ringing and Chinese New Year Greetings.Most of Chinese people will stop the celebrating in their home on the 7th day of New Year because the national holiday usually ends around that day, however celebrations in public areas can last until the 15th day of New Year.清明节：清明节的习俗是丰富有趣的，除了讲究禁火、扫墓，还有踏青、荡秋千、蹴鞠、打马球、插柳等一系列风俗体育活动。相传这是因为清明节要寒食禁火，为了防止寒食冷藏伤身，所以大家来参加一些体育活动，以锻炼身体。因此，这个节日既有祭扫新坟生别死离得悲酸泪，又有踏青游玩的欢笑声，是一个富有特色的节日。

Ching MingFestival(the Tomb-sweeping Festival), the custom is full of interesting.In addition to pay attention to ban fire, tomb-sweeping, as well as spring outing, swinging, Cuju, playing polo, Liu inserted a series of custom sports.According to legend, this is because the Ching Ming Festival to Cold Food Observance ban fire, in order to prevent the Cold Food Observance buffet beverages, so we come to participate in some sports, in order to exercise.Therefore, this festival which has both the acid tears of sorrow for the died and the laughter from the players, is adistinctive holiday.元宵节：与大多数中国节日一样，元宵节同样有自己的特色小吃，成为“汤圆”(也叫“元宵”)。汤圆外形圆圆的，外皮由糯米制成，内陷或甜或辣。人们都说汤圆有两个象征之意，一为农历的第一个月圆，二为家庭团聚圆满。元宵节传统习俗中还有一部分是关于猜灯谜的游戏。在过去，这些谜语大多出自于模糊的文学典故和中国古典文学之中，所以猜灯谜以前多为知识份子的“领地”。踩高跷，敲大鼓和舞龙狮也是元宵节主要的娱乐活动。

Like most Chinese festivals, the Lantern Festival has its own special food, called “tangyuan”.These are round, glutinous rice dumplings with sweet or spicy fillings.The dumplings are said to symbolize both the first full moon and family utility and completeness.Part of the lantern festival tradition involves a game to guess riddles attached to the lanterns.In the old days the riddles were obscure literary allusions to the Chinese classics and so were mainly the preserve of the educated classes.Stilt-walking ,drumming and dragon and lion dancing are the main entertainment forms of the Lantern Festival.端午节：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 WuFestival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patrioticpoet 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 are sult 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 QuYuan’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.中秋节：农历八月十五日是中国的传统节日——中秋节。在这天，每个家庭都团聚在一起，一家人共同观赏象征丰裕、和谐和好运的圆月。此时，大人们尽情吃着美味的月饼，品着热腾腾的香茗，而孩子们则在一旁拉着明亮的兔子灯尽情玩耍。月宫里美丽的仙女嫦娥的神话故事赋予了这个节日神话色彩。传说古时候，天空曾有10个太阳围着地球旋转。后翌射下了其中9个太阳，拯救了地球上的生灵。他偷了长生不老药，却被妻子嫦娥偷偷喝下，从而产生了嫦娥奔月的故事。

The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar month.It is atime for family members to congregate and enjoy the full moon, which is a symbol of abundance, harmony and luck.Adults usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of various kinds with a good cup of hot Chinese tea, while the children run around with their brightly-lit rabbit lanterns.The festival wasendowed a mythological flavour with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful lady inthe moon.According to Chinese mythology, the earth once had 10 suns circling over it.Hou Yi, shot down 9 of the suns to save all the lives on carth.Hestole the elixir of life, which can make people immortal.However, his wife ,Chang-E drank it.Thus the legend of Chang-E flying into the moon came int obeing.三、传统事物

筷子：中国人使用筷子已经有3 000多年的历史了。中国的筷子夹菜的一端是圆的，象征着天；另一端是方的，象征着地。这是因为，维持充足的食物供应是天地之间最重要的事情。中国有个古老的风俗，女子出嫁时要用筷子当嫁妆，因为“筷子”与“快子”谐音。根据中国的餐桌礼仪，吃饭时一直握着筷子是不礼貌的。将菜送入口中后，应立刻把筷子放下。吃饭时，用筷子指着别人会对其造成冒犯。

There has been a history of more than 3 000 years for the Chinese to have meals with chopsticks.Chinese chopsticks are round on the eating end which symbolizes the heaven, and the other end is square which symbolizes the earth.It is because maintaining an adequate food supply is the greatest concern between the heaven and the earth.There is an old custom in the past in China, that chopsticks should be apart of a girl’s dowry.Kuaizi(chopsticks)is pronounced the same as “kuaizi”.The latter symbolized “quick” and “son”.According to the Chinese traditional table manners, it is impolite to hold the chopsticks all the time over the meal.As soon as one person sends a bite into his mouth, he should putdown the chopsticks.It would offend others to point at them with chopsticks over the meal.文房四宝：在中国，笔、墨、纸、砚（ink slab），就是人们所说的“文房四宝”，在中华文明的传承中起了重要作用。文房四宝不仅有实用价值，它们本身也是供人观赏的艺术品，并逐步成为收藏品。文房四宝品类繁多，丰富多彩，选材制作不断趋于完善、精美，历代都有名品、名匠产生，成为一种深厚的文化积淀。在当今时代，使用笔、墨、纸、砚进行学习、写作的人越来越少了，但是，在中国的书法、绘画、收藏以及修身养性活动中，它们仍起着不可替代的作用。

In China, “four treasures of the study” refers to “writing brush”, “ink stick”, “paper” and“ink slab”, playing an important role in passing on Chinese civilization.They not only have their value of practical use, but also become the works of art for appreciation and collection.There is a large variety of these four treasures.Selecting of materials and making process have become increasingly delicate and perfect.Each dynasty of Chinese history saw famous craftsmen appear and works produced, which is a profound process of cultural accumulation In contemporary times, “four treasures of the study” have been increasingly rarely used for study or writhing, but they are still playing anir replaceable role in the field of Chinese calligraphy, painting, collection and in the activities of cultivating one's mind.中国结：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 000years ago.Chinese people used knots for more than justfastening , wraping, hunting, fishing.Knots were also to record events ,and someknots had purely ornamentak functions.The Chinese Knot has cultural connotations.Since knot is pronounce d as“jie” in Chinese similar with that of “ji”,which means blessing,goodsalary,longevity,happpiness,fortune,safety and health and is the everl astingpursuit of Chinese people ,some Chinese Knots espress people's various hopes.Forexample ,the room of newlyweds is usually decorated with a Pan-Chang Knot to symbolizeeternal love.八大菜系：中国一个幅员辽阔、资源丰富、历史悠久的多民族国家，每个民族都有其独特的丰富菜肴。地域菜系在地理环境、气候、文化传统、民族风俗和其他因素的影响下经过悠久历史的发展已经成形。最有影响力、最具代表性的是鲁、川、粵、闽、苏、浙、湘、徽菜系，这八种被人们称为“八大菜系”。中国的“八大菜系”是以多种多样的烹饪方法区分的，各有其长处。

China is atime-honored multi-ethnics nation with a vast territory and abundant resources,and every ethnic group has its unique abundant dishes.Regional cuisines havetaken shape after long-history evolution under the influence of geographicalenvironment, climate, cultural tradition, folk customs and other factors.Themost influential and representative ones are Lu, Chuan，Yue, Min, Su，Zhe, Xiang and HuiCuisines, which are commonly known as “Eight Major Cuisines”.Dishes in the“Eight Major Cuisines” in China are characterized by persified cooking skills,with each having its strong points.四、传统艺术

博学和求知（learnedness and seeking knowledge/pursuit of knowledge）绝望和坚持（Frustration and perseverance）独立性问(independence)感恩(gratitude)创新(creation and innovation)鼓励(encouragement)自满和谦逊（self-satisfied and modest）合作（cooperation）等：注意替换主题词就可以了.All in all, by cooperation among each other, we will be able to explore a wider world and reach further horizon.Furthermore, whatever difficulty or situation we are confronted with, those who have the spirit of cooperation and team work are nearer to success.Just as John Adams, the second U.S.president quoted from the ancient Greek Aesop’s Fables,“United we stand, divided we fall.”

自信：(confidence)

(可以把独立换成考场上需要你写的主题词，比如，the spirit of impendence等)

社会和学校话题：

对于学校社会话题同样是喊出口号，分析利弊，不可能写出太多实质的话题：

常见的话题：

1． 资源保护(Energy and Resource Saving)环境保护(Environmental protection)低碳环保（low-carbon life）旅游对环境的影响（2． 人口增长(The growth of China’s population)3． 社会保障问题(Social security fund)4． 假冒伪劣产品问题(Counterfeits and unqualified products)食品安全(food safety)5． 消费者权益保护问题(The protection of consumers rights and interests)6． 社会诚信的缺失（Honest is the best policy.It pays to be honest.）

It is not hard to notice that without honesty/credibility, hardly can individuals or organizations make money, take profits, let alone obtain wealth in the long term, especially in this fiercely competitive modern world, I argue.我认为，不难发现，要是没有诚信在这样一个竞争激烈的现代社会中，从长期来看个人和组织是很难赚到钱，赚到利润的，更不必说获得财富了。

7.知识产权保护问题（Intellectual Property protection.No plagiarizing）8． 微博和微信的强势崛起（The rise of the WeiBo,Wechat）9． 传统文化的传播（traditional Chinese culture）

It is my view that national culture as priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved and cherished.Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate international culture.While global economic integration has fostered thorough cultural interchanges, it is multiculturalism that essentially makes the society and its people diverse, colorful, vigorous and open-minded.Nevertheless, certainly, when we are confronted with a different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and to resist its dark side.Only in this way can we promote cultural development positively and make our world dimensional, colorful and vigorous.孝敬父母（caring parents）(filial piety)Only in a reasonable, prosperous and healthy atmosphere can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which our parents can enjoy their life to the uttermost.10． 提高学生的身体素质（physical exercise build a strong body and relieve pressure and keep a pleasant mood）

11． 大学生的就业（sticking to our own choice of following our parent’s arrangement）

Only in a reasonable, prosperous and healthy atmosphere can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which our graduates can enjoy their careers to the uttermost.12． 大学城的建造（the construction of university town）

Only in a reasonable, prosperous and healthy atmosphere can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which our students can enjoy their study to the uttermost.先谈社会话题：

负面的话题无非要涉及解决的问题，正面话题就是展望未来，现在送大家一些在考研和四六级中正负面话题都能用的表达：

The general public is supposed to enhance their awareness that 大众需要提升对于…的意识是，In view of the complexity of such a topic, we must treat it socially, economically and culturally.考虑到话题的复杂性，我们必须从社会，经济和文化角度来对待这个话题。

In a sense, it is not why sth.exists in today’s world but what we should do to cope with it.总之，不是讨论为什么在今天的世界会存在这种话题，而在于我们应该怎么去应对他。

文章最后一定能用到的表达：

In view of the importance and the complexity of such a positive/negative phenomenon, we must treat it socially, economically and culturally and maintain it the very force that has driven our society/或 life forward.Only in a reasonable, prosperous and healthy atmosphere can we hope to witness the ideal scene in which people can enjoy their life to the uttermost./或in which student can enjoy their study to the uttermost.特别警惕，四六级还可以出一些应用文作为考察的对象，这里附上一篇欢迎辞； My dear new friends, You are welcomed to join in our English club.I am very glad that you will be a part of our fantastic club.Established in 2001, our club has celebrated her 10th birthday.In the past ten years, a lot of interesting activities have been designed and organized.Our most famous activities include talk shows, speech competition and role play competition.In our club, you will have ample opportunities to enjoy English movies, meet foreign friends and of course practice your oral English with them.I am sure you will enjoy happy moments in our club and make progress in your English learning.

第五篇：英语四级翻译

1.琴棋书画

中国人最懂得消遣，中国从前的读书人，闲暇时间以琴棋书画作为消遣。在中国人看来，艺术品的好坏，意味着作者人格的高低，所以弹琴、下棋、写字和绘画，都代表一个人的修养。弹琴不是要做音乐家，而是随着美妙的琴声，进入一个辽阔的世界，净化自己的心灵。下棋不是为了胜负，而是磨练耐性和使人眼光远大。写字不仅是把字写漂亮，同时也是为了陶冶情操。绘画则是借着画面上的简单线条，表现自己的想象的世界。

Music, chess, calligraphy and painting

Chinese people have the best idea about recreation.Scholars of ancient times enjoyed themselves through music, chess, calligraphy and painting in their leisure time.In the eyes of the Chinese people, the quality of the artifacts is a reflection of the character of the creator.Thus, playing musical instruments, playing chess, writing calligraphy or painting show one’s culture.By playing music, one does not aim to be a musician but to enter a broader world, purifying one’s soul in the beautiful music.By playing chess, one does not aim to be the winner but to cultivate patience and foresight.By calligraphy, one aims not only to write beautifully but also to improve his mind.Through painting, one expresses an imaginary world with simple lines.2.孝

孝是中国人的一种最重要的民族美德。孔子认为孝道是各种美德的基础。孟子认为，如果人人都能孝顺父母，尊敬长辈，就可以使天下太平。一个人如果能尽孝道，就不会做出越礼犯法的行为。而且，孝顺父母的人往往性情淳厚，有见义勇为的品德，对于公益事业一定热心。社会的组成分子如果能推广孝顺父母的品德，热心公益，就会使社会更容易进步。Filial piety Filial piety is the most important national virtue to the Chinese people.Confucius considered it to be the foundation of other virtues.Mencius believed that if everyone had filial piety for his parents and respect for older generations, there would be peace in the world.Those with filial piety will break neither etiquette nor the law.Such people are usually simple in nature, courageous in a just cause and enthusiastic in promoting the public good for sure.If society is eager for filial piety and ardent for the public good, it will be easier to make progress.3.中文

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，使他们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完全改变了。曾几何时，他们还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，而且还不时送孩子来中国游览，欣赏壮观的自然风光，了解丰富的文化遗产。

Chinese language An increasing number of Chinese parents overseas with English education background have realized how important it is for their children to command Chinese as well as to master indispensable English.The rise of china has awakened their awareness of the benefits of bilingual study of their children, both to increase their chances of employment and to facilitate their contact and familiarity with tow different cultures: the Oriental and the Occidental.They have almost completely changed their attitudes towards Chinese.At one time they proudly declared that they only knew English.Now, they have begun to positively support their children’s study of Chinese and Chinese culture, and send them on frequent visits to China to admire its magnificent natural scenery and learn its cultural heritage.4.元宵节

正月十五元宵节是中华民族的传统节日，也是春节之后的第一个重要节日。这是一年中第一个月圆之夜，也是大地回春的夜晚，人们对此加以庆祝，也是庆贺新春的延续。按中国民间的传统，在这天上皓月悬挂的夜晚，人们要点起彩灯万盏，以示庆贺。中国幅员辽阔，历史悠久，所以关于元宵节的习俗在全国各地也不尽相同，其中吃元宵、赏花灯、猜灯谜等是元宵节重要的民间习俗。Lantern festival The lantern festival on the 15th day of the first month in the lunar calendar is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, and the first important one after Spring Festival.This is the first full moon night of the year, and also marks the return of spring, for which people continue their celebration of the New Year.In keeping with folk tradition in china, people light thousands of color lanterns for celebration on this moon-lit night.Because of its vast territory and long history, china has many different customs for Lantern Festival across the country, among which eating yuanxiao(sweet, sticky rice dumplings), admiring beautiful lanterns and guessing lantern riddles are the most important.5.中国传统文化

中华民族的传统文化博大精深、源远流长。早在两千多年前，就产生了以孔孟为代表的道家学说。从孔夫子到孙中山，中华民族的传统文化有许多珍品，比如强调仁爱、强调群体、强调天下为公、特别是强调吃苦耐劳、尊师重教的传统美德。所有这些都对家庭、社会和国家都起到了巨大的维系和调节作用。

Traditional Chinese Culture

Traditional Chinese Culture, extensive and profound, enjoys a long history.More than 2000 years ago Chinese Confucianism and Taoism emerged, founded by Confucius and Mencius, and Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, respectively.From example, it stresses the importance of kindness and love, the interests of the community, the idea that the world is for all, and especially the traditional virtues such as diligence and endurance, respecting teachers and valuing education.All these have played a great role in binding and regulating the family, the society and the country.6.诚信原则

中国人以前都生活在大家庭李，有很多亲戚相互来往。男人在外面做事谋生，也会结交许多朋友。中国人交朋友，秉持的最重要的原则是“诚”和“信”。自己以诚心待人，自然可以换来真实的友谊；尊重别人，自然会被尊重。而且要信守诺言，绝不欺骗。中国人不仅把这些原则应用在私人的交往上，在和其他国家办理外交的时候，也同样遵守这些原则。

Sincerity and faithfulness In the past, the Chinese lived in extended family groups, with many relatives as their social contacts.The men of the family would also make many friends in the course of making their way in the world.Chinese people try to maintain two most important principles in friendship: sincerity and faithfulness.They exchange sincerity for true friendship as might be expected, and receive respect by respecting others.They keep their promises without deceit.Chinese people not only apply these principles in personal contacts, but also follow them in their diplomatic relations with other countries.7.中药

众所周知，在最近两百年之前的大部分时间里，人类一直依赖传统药物与疾病斗争。各大文明古国几乎都有自己的民族医药体系，其中又以中国的中医药体系最为完备，成就最大。可以说，中国的中医药体系是古代医药科学的最高表现。中药绝大部分来源于天然的植物，其次是动物、矿物等。中国各地使用的中药已达5000种左右，用各种药材配成的方剂，更是数不胜数。

Chinese medicine As is commonly known, until the most recent two centuries people fought against disease with traditional drugs.Ancient civilizations all had their own national drug system, among which the Chinese system was the most comprehensive and achieved the greatest results.We could say that the Chinese traditional drug system is the supreme representation of the type.Traditional Chinese drugs come mostly from natural plants.With some from animals and minerals.There are about 5000 traditional drugs in use across China, and countless prescriptions made with those drugs.8.清明节

清明节是中国人扫墓的日子。中国人的乡土观念很重，他们认为世界虽然广大，但只有自己曾经亲手耕耘过的这块土地最可爱。这块土地属于他们，同样的，他们也属于这块土地。传说从前中国人出远门的时候，身边总要带一包故乡的泥土，这样他就不会轻易生病。一个人即使死在他乡，他的家人总要想办法把他的遗体运回去，葬在故乡的土地上。

Tomb-sweeping Day Tomb-sweeping day is the day for Chinese people to pay respect to their ancestors at their graves.Chinese people have strong loyalty to their hometown, believing the land they have cultivated is the most precious, no matter where they may go in the vast world.The land belongs to them and they belong in their own land.It is said that Chinese people of ancient times, when out of town, would take some soil from their hometown to protect them from illness.When one dies in a foreign land, his family will go to great lengths to carry back his remains to be buried in his own land.9.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房，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，山水的永久，他还能不觉察自己的渺小，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 paintings, they are actually painting in their mind.Some may ask: why do Chinese landscape painters love to paint shabby cottages instead of high buildings? It is because they sense the brevity of physical life but the 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?

10.世界多元文化

一个音符无法表达出优美的旋律，一种颜色难以描绘出多彩的画卷。世界是一座丰富多彩的艺术殿堂，各国人民创造的独特文化都是这座殿堂里的瑰宝。人类历史发展的过程，就是各种文明不断交流、融合、创新的过程。人类历史上各种文明都以各自的独特方式为人类进步做出了贡献。我们应该积极维护世界多样性，推动不同文明的对话和交融，相互借鉴而不是相互排斥，使人类更加和睦幸福，让世界更加丰富多彩。

Cultural Diversity

A composer cannot write an enchanting melody with only one note, and a painter cannot paint a landscape with only one pigment.The world is a treasure house displaying unique cultural achievements created by people from all countries.The history of human development is the process of different civilizations interacting with each other for mutual enrichment, and all civilization have contributed to the progress of mankind in their own way.We should uphold the diversity of the world, enhance dialogue and interaction between civilizations, and draw on each other’s strengths instead of being mutually exclusive.When this is done, mankind will enjoy greater harmony and happiness, and the world will become a more colorful place to live.11.端午节

根据传说，楚国政治家兼诗人屈原忧国忧时，在五月五日投江自尽。人们敬爱这位爱国诗人，驾船寻找他的遗体，却没有找到。后来人们把糯米包在竹叶里面，做成粽子，驾着小船到达出事地点，把粽子丢到水里，当做祭品，这就是粽子和龙舟比赛的起源。在南方水乡，每年端午节都有龙舟比赛。

Dragon Boat Festival

According to legend, Qu Yuan, a politician and poet in the Chu Kingdom of ancient China, jumped into the river on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, committing suicide in his concern about the current circumstances and future fate of the country.In their reverence for the patriotic poet, people rowed out in boats to make glutinous rice dumplings, rowed to the site of the suicide, and threw them into the water as a sacrifice.This is the origin of both glutinous rice dumplings and the dragon boat race.In the riverside towns of south China, there dragon boat races every Dragon Boat Festival.12.孔子学院（Confucius Institute）是中国在世界各地设立的教育和文化交流机构。推广汉语、传播中国文化是设立该机构的目的。孔子学院最重要的一项工作就是给世界各地的汉语学习者提供标准的教材以及正规的汉语学习渠道。全球首家孔子学院于2004年在韩国首尔（Seoul）成立，目前已遍布106个国家。孔子学院有力地推动了中国文化的交流与融合（integration）。

Confucius Institute is an institute of education and cultural communication established by China all over the world.Its aim is to promote Chinese language and spread Chinese culture.The most important task of Confucius Institute is to provide standard textbooks and a formal channel to learn Chinese for learners all over the world.The first Confucius Institute opened in 2004 in Seoul, South Korea.At present, it has been established in 106 countries.Confucius Institute has greatly promoted the exchange and integration of cultures between China and the rest of the world.13.大熊猫被称为“中国国宝”（China’s national treasure）是中国特有的动物。大熊猫外表黑白相间，体型肥胖，是一种温顺可爱的动物。它们主要生活在中国西南地区，80%以上分布于四川境内。它们习惯居住在温暖潮湿的环境中，喜欢吃竹类。由于生育率低，对生活环境的要求又相当高，它们的数量越来越少。中国政府早已意识到这一问题的严重性，所以做出了很多努力来保护这一濒危物种。

Referred to as “China’s national treasure”, panda is an animal unique to China.With a black and white coat as well as a fat body, it is a gentle and lovely animal.Pandas live mainly in the southwest part of china, over 80% of them living in Sichuan Province.They are accustomed to living in warm and wet environment.Bamboo is their favorite food.Because of low birth rate and high requirement for living environment, the number of pandas is declining.Having realized the seriousness of the problem, Chinese government has made a lot of efforts to protect the endangered species.
