第二篇:英语六级汉译英 中式婚礼
婚礼
结婚是人生中的一件大事。传统的中式婚礼古朴而又热闹,隆重、喜庆并且礼节周全,场面的铺陈颇具特色,不过在现代,尤其是在城市里,已经很少见了。花轿是传统婚礼的核心内容之一。结婚时,新娘要坐在花轿里从娘家被抬到男方家中。花轿一般分四人抬,八人抬两种,又有“龙轿”“凤轿”之分。除去轿夫之外,还有持笙锣、伞、扇等的随行人员,一般的轿队少则十几人,多则几十人,很是壮观。传统的中式婚礼中,新娘要蒙着红盖头,在伴娘的伴随下,由新郎手持的大红绸牵着,慢慢地登上花轿。在新娘成花轿去往男方家里的途中,颠花轿是必不可少的热闹场面。轿夫一起左摇右摆使花轿不稳,新娘坐在里面也是左摇右晃。有的时候,新郎甚至不得不代替新娘或者和新娘一起向众人抱拳施礼求饶,而这个时候,众人欢笑不止,实际上是为了增添新人成婚之日的喜庆气氛。中式传统婚礼的最重要的部分便是拜堂成亲。新人走到天地桌前,上面摆放有装满粮食的斗,斗的四周写上“金玉满斗”四个大字,以红纸封口,斗内四角放若干硬币,以供拜完天地后看热闹的亲朋好友掏出来求取吉利之意。斗中要插一柏枝,枝上缀有铜钱,这个柏枝便被称作“摇钱树”。斗旁放一杆秤、一面镜、织布机杼、一灯或一蜡烛。新郎在右,新娘在左,并肩站在天地桌前,执事人高声喊道:“一拜天地,二拜高堂,夫妻对拜”。民间的说法认为,男女只有在拜过天地后才能算作是正式夫妻,因此对这个拜堂的仪式非常重视。还有民间习俗有这样有趣的研究,即如果新郎在结婚的当天因故不能拜天地,就让他的姐妹抱只公鸡来代替。坐完花轿、拜完天地、接下来新人要入洞房了。洞房是一直延续下来的叫法,新人入了洞房以后,按照习俗,新郎新娘的同辈亲友聚集在洞房里,对新郎新娘开一些充满暗示的玩笑。这时即便过头一点,新郎新娘也不会生气,而是想办法巧妙化解,因为亲朋好友闹洞房图的是高兴和热闹。
Wedding Marriage is the most important thing in the life.In China, a traditional wedding is simple and lively,ceremonious,and joyful.There are some unique features in this ceremony,but in modern society,especially in the city,it is hardly seen any more.The bridal sedan is the core of the traditional wedding.In wedding,the bride should sit in the sedan, then be lifted from her mother's home to her husband' home.Generally,there are two kinds of sedan,that is,four-lifter and eight-lifter,also divided into “dragon sedan”and“phoenix sedan”.There are so many suites who hold gongs,umbrellas,fans and so on,besides lifters,In group,there are more than ten people at least,and the occasion is very magnificent.In a traditional weddin,accompanied with a bridesmaid, the bride wearing a red veil and led along by the bridegroom who holds a red silk in his hand,enters the bridal sedan.On the way to the husband's home,lifters jolt the sedan as it is necessary in a joyful wedding.Lifters swing the sedan from left to right,causing the bride to sit unsteadily inside.Sometimes the bridegroom has to substitute for his bride or beg to everyone else,while,all laugh to adding to the jubilance.The wedding ceremony is the most important part of a traditional Chinese wedding.The newlyweds go to the table for heaven and earth where there is a dou(a kind of basket)full of grain.The dou is written with red paper.There are many coins placed in the four corners of the dou to provide the“luck” meaning to the guests.There is a cypress branch,called “ready source of money”,decorated with copper coins.Besides,one steelyard ,a mirror ,a loom,alamp or a candle are also placed near the dou.Afterwards, the groom stands on the left side,the bride right by his side,while the director prompts,“First bow to the heaven and earth;second bow to the parents;third bow to each other”.According to the folk saying, they will not be the formal couple until bowing to the heaven and earth.As a result,people pay a great attention to this ceremony.An interesting custom is that if the groom cannot come to this ceremony,he should ask his sister to hold a cock instead.After taking the bridal sedan,bowing to the heaven,it's time for the newlyweds to go to the bridal chamber.According to custom,their relatives and friends get together in the bridal chamber to banter the newlyweds.At this time,the newlyweds will never get angry even if the teasing games are a bit outrageous, but will try to skillfully dissolve since the relatives and friends intend to delight them.

医生该如何学习诚实对待他们的病人呢?进行更多关于如何与病人沟通其健康状况的培训是极其重要的——尤其是在告知(deliver)坏消息时。如果检查结果对病人的健康没有影响的话,医生们可能不会把略有异常的实验室检查结果告诉给焦虑的病人。相反地,医生也许会夸大(exaggerate)正常的结果,希望能刺激病人更好地照顾自己。而病人们也需要清楚并确定他们所期望的医生的诚实度。毕竟,即便在医生的办公室里,交流也是双向的。参考译文:
How can doctors learn to be honest with their patients? More training about how to communicate with patients about their health is critical—especially when it comes to delivering bad news.Doctors may not tell the anxious patients the slightly abnormal results of a lab test, if it has no impact on the patient’s health.Conversely, they might exaggerate a normal result in hopes of motivating a patient to take better care of himself.Patients also need to be clear and certain about how honest they want their doctors to be.Communication is a two-way street, after all, even in the doctor’s office.词句点拨
1、极其重要的 critical
2、尤其是在告知(deliver)坏消息时 when it comes to delivering bad news.(注:注意come to的用法。come to sth.其中的一个意思就是“当达到某种状况(尤指不好的状况)时”。)

信用卡(credit card)是由银行发行的卡,持卡人可以凭卡赊购(buy on credit)商品和服务。使用信用卡最大的好处就是能给持卡人带来极大的方便。人们可以 使用信用卡赊购他们需要的东西,并在一段时期内付淸欠款,而不必随身携带大量的现金。但如此的便利也带来了一些问题,如恶意透支(malicious overdraft)。还会剌激使用者超前消费,容易产生月光族。在消费的时候,使用信用卡会促使消费者更加冲动地购物,甚至购买一些平时不怎么用的商品。参考译文:
A credit card is a card issued by a bank,allowing its holder to buy goods and services on credit.The most obvious advantage of credit card is the huge convenience it brings to card holders.People can use the cards to buy what they want on credit and pay off the debt over a period of time instead of carrying a large sum of cash with them.But such convenience also brings such problems as malicious overdraft and overconsumption which will easily reduce the card users to“moonlight group”.When shopping,consumers with credit cards will buy goods more impetuously.They will even buy something that is not often used in daily life.词句点拨
1.赊购商品和服务:赊购可用短语buy...on credit来表达。故此处可译为buy goods and services on credit。2.最大的好处:“大的好处”即“明显的好处”,故此处可译为the most obvious advantage。其中obvious意为“显著的”。3.但如此的便利也带来了一些问题,如恶意透支…:可译为But such convenience also brings such problems as malicious overdraft"其中,使用“such+n.+as...”这个结构可以达到清晰列举事例的效果。例如,我们买了苹果、香蕉、葡萄等水果,即We bought such fruits as apples,bananas,grapes,etc.4.恶意透支和超前消费:分别可译为名词短语malicious overdraft和over-consumption。

Comprising over 70% of the Earth’s surface, water is undoubtedly the most precious natural resource that exists on our planet.Without the seemingly invaluable compound of oxygen and hydrogen, life on Earth would be non-exist: it is essential for everything on our planet to grow and prosper.Although we as humans recognize this fact, we disregard it by polluting our rivers, lakes, and oceans.Subsequently, we are slowly but surely harming our planet to the point where organisms are dying at a very alarming rate.In addition to innocent organisms dying off, our drinking water has become greatly affected as is our abilities to use water for recreational purposes.In order to combat water pollution, we must understand the problems and become part of the solution.在当今社会,相差三岁,就会有“沟”,即所谓的:“三岁一代沟”。以前,在人们的思维里,代沟(generation gap)所表示的时间长度是10到20年。而到了21世纪,随着全国各地的经济发展,人们文化知识的增长,思想意识的提髙,每个人的个性化和自我意识逐渐增强,人与人之间的交流出现了障碍,人与人之间的想法、观点出现了分歧,很难找到共鸣(resonance)。这种现象与经济发达程度有关,经济越发达的地方,代沟的时间差距越小。参考译文:
In modern society,there will be a generation gap if the gap of ages reaches 3 years.This is the so-called“Each three-year age gap,one generation gap”.In the past,people thought that generation gap appeared when the age gap reached 10 to 20 years.But in the 21st century,with the national economic development,the growth of people's cultural knowledge and the improvement of their thought and consciousness,people's individualization and self-awareness have gradually been strengthened.Communication barriers among people appear;ideas and viewpoints begin to differ from person to person,making it hard for one to find resonance with other people.This phenomenon is related to the level of economic development-the more developed a place is,the narrower the age gap will be.词句点拨
1.相差三岁,就会有“沟”:这里的“沟”指代沟。
2.三岁一代沟:可译Each three-year age gap,one generation gap,意为“每差三岁,就有代沟”。英文译成对仗的形式显得较为工整。
3.思想意识的提高:可译为the improvement of thoughts and consciousness。
4.每个人的个性化和自我意识逐渐增强:可译为people's individualization and self-awareness have gradually been strengthened。
5.很难找到共鸣:该句其实是“交流出现了障碍”、“想法、观点出现了分歧”的结果,故译为非谓语形式making it hard for one to find resonance with other people作结果状语。6.经济越发达的地方,代沟的时间差距越小:翻译时可使the more…the more…句式,即the more developed a place is,the narrower the age gap will be。
打车难已经成为大城市人们生活中较为普遍的问题。城市人口规模的扩大,人类社会活动的不断多元(diversification)化都增加了对出租车的需求。随着城市交通拥堵状况不断加剧,为避免堵车影响收人,上下班高峰时段很多司机不愿意跑拥堵路段和主城区,导致市民在一些交通枢纽、商业中心、医院附近很难打到出租车。城市建设影响了出租车的使用效率。出租车行业不规范,拒载行为屡屡发生,这也是导致打车难的人为因素 参考译文:
It has been a common problem in large city residents' life that it's hard to take a taxi.The increase of urban population and diversification of social activities make the demand for taxi rise.As the traffic jam becomes worse in cities,to guarantee personal income, many taxi drivers refuse to drive on busy roads and main urban areas, which makes it difficult for many citizens to take a taxi near some transportation junctions, commercial centers and hospitals.City construction affects the efficiency of taxi.Being not standard in the taxi industry and taxi drivers' often refusing to take passengers are the human factors that make it difficult to take a taxi.词句点拨
1.打车难:可译为it's hard to take a taxi,作为problem的同位语,意义表达清楚自然。
2.增加了对出租车的需求:可译为make the demand for taxi rise。
3.为避免堵车影响收入:可灵活地译为to guarantee personal income。采用逆向译法,上下文反复出现“堵车”这个词,所以可以省略。
4.出租车行业不规范,拒载行为屡屡发生:这里是说明原因,为了句式简明,可以处理为动名词和独立主格的形式,直接充当句子主语。
5.人为因素:可译为human factor。
闻名于世的丝绸之路是一系列连接东西方的路线。丝绸之路延伸6,000多公里,得名于古代中国的丝绸贸易。丝绸之路上的贸易在中国、南亚、欧洲和中东文明发展中发挥了重要作用。正是通过丝绸之路,中国的造纸、火药、指南针、印刷术等四大发明才被引介到世界各地。同样,中国的丝绸、茶叶和瓷器(porcelain)也传遍全球。物质文化的交流是双向的,欧洲也通过丝绸之路出口各种商品和植物,满足中国市场的需求。

1.加速节能产业的发展:“节能产业”可译为energy saving industry。2.国民经济的支柱产业:可译为a pillar of the national economy。
3.承诺要推进技术创新,扩大人们对节能产品的需求,推动环保服务产业的发展:此处“承诺”可译为vow;“推进”可翻译为spur;“妒大”可翻译为 expand;“推动”可翻译为boost。

【解析】
1.专门的机构:可译为special organization。
2.中国青年创业国际计划旨在帮助年轻人进行创业:“中国青年创业国际计划”是专有名词,译为Youth Business China;“创业”就是“开创一番事业”,因此可译为start a business。
3.跟进国际商业领域的新发展:“跟进”可用keep track of表达,“国际商业领域”可翻译为internationalcommercial areas。【参考答案】
