第二篇：短文翻译

When we look at famous people, especially movie stars, their glamorous lives seem far removed from anything average people experience in their lives.Yet, a deep passion and commitment to their dream is a common thread that runs through each of their stories.Another common thread many of them share is using their celebrity and fame to focus attention and resources on the world’s citizens and populations.Indeed, they often exhibit, in differing ways, personality traits that deserve our admiration and applause.当我们看到名人，尤其是电影明星时，他们迷人富有魅力的生活似乎远离任何普通人的生活经历。然而,激情和对梦想的承诺是一条主线,贯穿他们的每一个故事。他们共享的另一个常见的主线，是利用他们在世界范围公民和人群中的名望和影响力资源。事实上,他们经常在不同方面表现出的人格特质,都值得我们的钦佩和掌声。

2、文公之时，宰臣上炙而发绕之。文公召宰人而谯之，曰：“女欲寡人之哽邪？

奚为以发绕炙？”宰人首再拜，请曰：“臣有死罪三：援砺砥刀，利犹干将也。切

肉，肉断而发不断，臣之罪一也；援木而贯脔，而不见发，臣之罪二也；奉炽炉，炭烬赤红，而炙熟而发不烧，臣之罪三也。堂下得微有疾臣者乎？”公曰：“善”。

第四篇：短文翻译

2007 English-Chinese:

Good bye and good luck Scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constituents of matter, and the miracle of life.At the same time, today, the actions, and

inaction, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet.Globalization is making the world smaller, faster and richer.Still, 9/11, avian flu, and Iran remind us that a smaller, fatster world is not necessarily a safer world.Our world is bursting with knowledgeand I believe even more strongly todayand drifting above one of those three-dimensional

topographical maps architects use, the circling contour lines replaced by the terraced rice paddies that surround each high ridge.Nepails a small country, and from the windows of our plane floating eastward at 12,000 feet, one can see clearly the brilliant white mirage of the high

Himalayas thirty miles of the left window.Out the right window, the view is of three or four high terraced ridges giving sudden way to the plains of India beyond.Three were few roads visible below, mosttransportation in Nepal being by foot along ancient trails that connect and bind the country together.There is also a network of dirt airstrips, which was fortunate for me, as I had no time for the two-and-a-half week trek to my destination.I was no a flight to the local airport.飞机飞越尼泊尔上空时。你很容易天马行空起来，假想自己很渺小----像只蝴蝶----在建筑师所使用的某个三维地形图上方漂浮着，在这里，地形图一圈圈的轮廓线变成了环绕高耸的山脊成阶梯状的稻田。尼泊尔是个小国。我们的飞机在12000英尺的高空向东飞去。从左边的机窗望去，你能清晰地看到30英里开外的高耸的喜马拉雅山的耀眼的白色蜃景。

靠右边的机窗外是三、四条成梯状的高耸山脊，再往远处突然之间成了印度平原。飞机下面看不这几条公路。尼泊尔的交通方式以步行为主，人们沿着连接整个国家的古老小径行走着。尼泊尔也有一个土筑的飞机场网络，这对我来说很幸运，因为我没时间长途跋涉两周半的时间到达我的目的地。我在飞往当地机场的飞机上。

2012年英语专八汉译英题目

痛苦纠聚心中，眉心发烫发热，胸口郁闷难展，胃里一股气冲喉而上。院长说这孩子发育迟缓时，她更是心头无绪，她在育生所待的房里来回踱步，这房里还有其他小孩，每人一张围着栅栏的床，整个房间只有一扇窗，窗外树影婆娑，就让这孩子留下来吧，这里有善心的神父和修女，这里将来会扩充为有医疗作用的看护中心，这是留住孩子最好的地方。这孩子是她的秘密，她将秘密留在这树林掩映的建筑里。出处：台湾作家蔡素芬《烛光盛宴》

参考译文：Tortured by the pains gathering in her heart, she felt something was burning between her eyebrows.Her chest was brimmed with depression which was likely to run out of her throat at any moment.She could not think clearly any longer when the headmaster told her that the child suffered from developmental retardation.She strode up and down in the room where her child stayed with

other pals.There was only one window in the room, out of which some shady trees were whispering.“Just leave it here”, she told herself, “This is the best

choice by far, for there are kind priests and nuns in this place which may also be renovated into a Medicare center”.The child was her secret which would be kept in the buildings behind the woods.2012专八英译汉真题及参考答案

But such policies seem instead to have created the conditions for even more

campus violence.Some college students who previously drank in bars and lounges

under the watchful supervision of bouncers(夜总会，就把等保安人员)（not to mention owners eager to keep their liquor licenses）now retreat to the sanctuary of their fraternity houses and apartments, where they no longer control their behavior their drinking.The boomerang effect has also played a role in attempts to reduce the availability of illicit drugs.During recent years, the federal

government has been quite successful in reducing the supply of street drugs.As fields are burned and contraband(违禁品)confiscated, the price of street drugs has skyrocketed to a point where cheap alternatives have begun to compete in the marketplace.Unfortunately, the cheap alternatives are even more harmful than the illicit drugs they replace.然而上述政策反而引发了更多的校园暴力。一些大学生先前在夜总会的酒吧买醉，处于保安人员严密的监控之下(酒吧老板们为了保住自己卖酒的牌照也不会允许过激的事情发生)。现在，大学生们躲到他们互助会会所和公寓中酗酒,对自己饮酒的数量或行为都不再控制。政府在打击非法毒品方面采取的措施同样适得其反。近年来,联邦政府已经有效地抑制了街头毒品买卖。警方捣毁了很多毒品种植地，没收了违禁品，导致毒品的价格暴涨，那些便宜的替代品因此也有了竞争力。糟糕的是，那些便宜的替换品带来的危害甚至比他们所替代的毒品更大。

第五篇：英语短文翻译

Should I be allowed to make my own decisions?

Many teenagers have hobbies.But sometimes these hobbies can get in the way of schoolwork, and parents might worry about their child’s success at school.Teenagers often think they should be allowed to practice their hobbies as much as they want.Do you agree?

Liu Yu, a fifteen-year-old boy from Shandong, is a running star.He is on his school running team and has always wanted to be a professional athlete.However, his parents won’t allow him to train as much as he would like to.“Of course, we want to see Liu Yu achieve his dreams,” says Mr Liu, “and we know how much he loves running.That’s great, and my wife and I have watched him in every one of his races.We have nothing against running!But we do think that our son needs to be realistic.Now that he is getting older, he needs to think about what will happen if he doesn’t become a professional runner in the end.许多青年有他们自己的爱好。但这些爱好可能有时能在学习中用到，并且父母担心他们的儿童在学校的表现。青少年应该去做他们所喜爱的事情，您是否同意呢？

刘雨，从山东来的十五年男孩，是一个跑步明星。他是在他的学校田径队并且想当一位专业运动员。但是，他的父母不允许他训练。“当然，我们也希望刘雨实现他的梦想”，刘先生说，“并且我们也知道他多么热爱跑步。那是美好的，并且我妻子和我计划了他的未来。我们并没有反对跑步!但我们认为我们的儿子必须接受现实。因为他会变老，他需要考虑以后发生什么，如果他在最后不能成为冠军。
