实战演练:
1.在金庸和古龙的武侠小说中,古代社会即复杂又简单,充斥着比武论剑、门派纷争、掌门之争以及爱恨情仇。然而,在这个虚构的世界中,只有武林和侠客,官府、百姓、柴米油盐和功名利禄似乎都与之无关。
武术,在中国又称国术或武艺,在国外则以功夫闻名,是中国传统的体育项目。它也是一种完整的文化意识形态,融合了中国古典哲学、伦理学、美学、医学和兵法在内的诸多元素。峨眉、少林和武当是中国武术界的三大门派。
In martial arts themed novels written by Chinese writers Jin Yong and Gu Long, the ancient world is both complicated and simple.The world is full of swordfight competitions, martial arts schools disputes, leadership contentions, love and hatred.At the same time, there are only swordsmen and their Wulin in this fictional world, no government, civilians, daily necessities, livelihoods, or fame is included.Chinese Wushu(martial arts), also called Guoshu or Wuyi in Chinese, and popularly known as Kung Fu abroad, is a traditional sport in China.It is also a complete cultural ideology, which consists of a variety of elements including Chinese classical philosophy, ethics, aesthetics, medicine, and military science.Emei, Shaolin, and Wudang are called top three schools of Chinese martial arts.2.走过“高考”这座独木桥意义何在?在竞争激烈的现代化中国,高考仍是开启光明前途的一扇大门。但它同时也意味着一次接近你心中女神的机会,哪怕是一线渺茫的机会。这就是《青春派》,这样一部讲述高中生情窦初开的影片,画面精良,引人入胜。
该片并没有什么令人印象深刻的大明星,相对于日韩片,高中题材的影片在中国尚属“新生事物”。即便如此,在拍而优则导的刘杰手中,片中人物以及老套的剧情竟呈现出令人耳目一新之感。在一个半小时的电影中,故事情节相当紧凑,充满欢笑和泪水。
What’s the meaning of passing the university entrance exam? In today’s modern and competitive China, it’s still a gateway to a better, more promising life.But it may also mean the chance — even a slight one — to get closer to the girl of your dreams.That’s what Young Style, a charming and beautifully shot movie about first love in high school, is all about.The movie has no major stars to impress audiences with, and compared with Japan and South Korea, the high-school movie is a relatively new genre in China.Even so, cinematographer-turned-director Liu Jie gives the characters and the cliched story a fresh feel on the screen, packing a tight hour-and-a-half full of laughter and tears.3.八月末清华大学迎来了2013届新生,他们在报到时遇到的第一个问题便是:“你是自己来的还是跟父母一起来的?” 根据清华大学公布的数据显示,在该校第一批报到的539名新生中,有超过半数的人独自来报到。今年,清华大学校长陈吉宁在致2013级新生的信中,鼓励他们“自主自立地开始新的奋斗历程。”
为帮助新生们尽快成长,高校纷纷出台了一系列新举措。例如,清华大学要求新生独自报到并入住宿舍。这一流程通常需要两三个小时,而在这段时间里,志愿者会带领学生家长来参观校园。
When Tsinghua University’s new 2013 freshmen arrived on campus late last month, the first question they were confronted with at the registration desk was: “Did you come alone or with your parents?”
According to statistics released after the first batch of the freshmen enrolled in the university, more than half of the 539 students came alone.In a letter to freshmen this year, Chen Jining, the president of Tsinghua University, encouraged them to “start this new adventure by standing on your own two feet.”
To help freshmen grow up, some universities have thought of new methods.At Tsinghua, for example, freshmen need to register and find their dormitory by themselves.The process requires two to three hours, during which volunteers take parents on a tour of the campus.4.近年来,网络游戏风靡大学生人群。对于很多网游好爱者而言,网络游戏带来的不仅仅是新奇的游戏体验,更是一种社交手段和生活时尚。由国内游戏资讯门户网站17173.com发布的《2012年中国网游玩家调查报告》也证明了这点。该报告称,19至25岁的大学生人群占网游玩家总人数的58%,而这一比例正在逐年增加。
For university students like Chen, online gaming has become more than a fad-it’s part of life and a way of socializing.A 2012 research report on online gamers in China released by 17173.com, the country’s leading game information portal, supports this notion.According to the report, university students aged between 19 and 25 make up 58 percent of online gamers, and the proportion is rising every year.5.支付宝于1月15日发布了个人年度账单,列出了用户的个人开销以及在线支付方式,这随即引起轰动。微博上人们(其中大部分为“淘宝控”)纷纷晒出网购账单以及看到自己消费额后的感想。正如你所料,多数人都被自己的账单雷到了。年度账单反映出一个人的消费习惯和生活方式,但这同样也是种警告:在网购为我们带来便利与新鲜生活方式的同时,我们也要谨慎消费,尤其是在网购时,因为在网上,金钱只是个数字。
The annual statement, which shows consumers’ personal spending and online payment patterns, caused a stir when it was released by Alipay on Jan 15.Many micro-bloggers shared how much money they spend shopping online, mostly on Taobao, and how they felt after discovering the extent of their consumption.As you may have guessed, most of them were shocked by their statement.An annual statement reflects a person’s consumption habits and lifestyle.But it’s also a warning that, while online shopping provides us with convenience and a refreshing way of living, we should be cautious about our consumption, especially when it comes to online shopping where money is just a number.6.国际连锁咖啡公司星巴克再次在中国引发争议,这次的矛盾主要集中在商业与古迹之间的博弈,而事件起因是星巴克在华东地区一间著名古刹旁的新店开张。上周六,这家坐落在风景优美、与世隔绝的灵隐寺风景区中的星巴克连锁店在一片争议声中开门营业。灵隐寺位于浙江杭州西湖岸边的一片树林之中。星巴克于周一下午在其官方微博上发布声明,解释了该咖啡店的位置,并表达了其对中国历史与传统文化的尊重。
International coffee company and coffeehouse Starbucks has again brewed debate over business versus historical interests in China after its opening of an outlet near a famed Buddhist temple in East China.The controversial Starbucks outlet opened on Saturday in the scenic zone of the quiet, secluded Lingyin Temple, or the Temple of Soul`s Retreat, which is located in a wooded area on the bank of the West Lake in Hangzhou city, Zhejiang province.The cafe released a statement on its official Weibo account on Monday afternoon, explaining the cafe`s location and professing its respect for Chinese history and traditional culture.7.今年3月5日是雷锋逝世50周年纪念日。1963年,毛主席宣布这天为“学雷锋日”,从而掀起一场全民学习雷锋事迹的运动热潮。此后的几十年间,一直存在这样一种争论:在物质社会中,雷锋精神是否长存?这种无私楷模的形象是否还有价值?有些人认为雷锋精神已经过时。评论人士则指出,那些认为雷锋精神过时的人其实是误解了其真正的意义。学习雷锋可以是一种相互关心,彼此受益的行为,是文明社会的基础。”
March 5 will mark the 50th year of Lei’s death.In 1963, Chairman Mao Zedong designated the day as “Learn From Lei Feng Day” and started a national campaign for people to copy his deeds.Several decades after the campaign was initiated, there has been a debate about whether the spirit of Lei lives on, and whether an altruistic role model is relevant anymore in a materialist society.Some think it no longer rings a bell.Commentators, however, point out those who regarded Lei’s spirit as being outdated have misinterpreted its meaning.Learning from Lei Feng could be a mutually caring and benefiting act, which is the basis of civilized society.8.在出台成年子女须定期探望年迈父母这一法律大约一个月后,中国决策者开始考虑通过立法鼓励另一项被国人忽视的活动:阅读。自从今年3月中国召开年度立法会议以来,该条例便一直在酝酿中,而这么做的动力来自一份新研究调查。调查显示,尽管中国是世界上最多产的图书生产国之一,但中国人的阅读率偏低。考虑到中国人长久以来就有重视求学的传统,当下的中国人为什么对读书如此提不起兴趣还没有明确的解释,不过有些人说,正是中国人对教育的投入以及考大学竞争激烈造成了这种现状。
Roughly a month after passing a law requiring adults to regularly visit their elderly parents, Chinese policy makers are considering legislation to encourage another activity the country’s people have neglected: reading.The regulation, which has been in development since the country’s annual legislative conclave in March, is motivated by new research showing Chinese people reading books at a relatively low rate despite the country being one of the world’s most prolific book producers.Given China’s long history of valuing scholarly pursuits, it isn’t clear why Chinese people have such a weak appetite for the written word, though some say it is precisely the country’s obsession with education and stiff competition on the college entrance exams ─ that’s to blame.
第二篇:翻译练习及答案参考
汉翻英:重点翻译红色字体部分,其它部分也可翻译。
之一:题目:不要抛弃学问(胡适1929年中国公学18级毕业赠言)
诸位毕业同学:
你们现在要离开母校了,我没有什么礼物送给你们,只好送你们一句话罢。
这一句话是:“不要抛弃学问。”以前的功课也许有一大部分是为了这张毕业文凭不得已而做的。从今以后,你们可以依自己的心愿去自由研究了。趁现在年富力强的时候,努力做一种专门学问。少年是一去不复返的,等到精力衰时,要做学问也来不及了。即为吃饭计,学问绝不会辜负人的。吃饭而不求学问,三年五年之后,你们都要被后进少年淘汰掉的。到那时再想做点学问来补救,恐怕已太晚了。
有人说:“出去做事之后,生活问题亟须解决,哪有工夫去读书?即使要做学问,既没有图书馆,又没有实验室,哪能做学问?”
我要对你们说:凡是要等到有了图书馆方才读书的,有了图书馆也不肯读书。凡是要等到有了实验室方才做研究 的,有了实验室也不肯做研究。你有了决心要研究一个问题,自然会撙衣节食去买书,自然会想出法子来设置仪器。至于时间,更不成问题。达尔文一生多病,不能多做工,每天只能做一点钟的工作。你们看他的成绩!每天花一点钟看十页有用的书,每年可看三千六百多页书,三十年读约十一万页书。
诸位,十万页书可以使你成一个学者了。可是,每天看三种小报也得费你一点钟的工夫;四圈麻将也得费你一点半钟的光阴。看小报呢,还是打麻将呢,还是努力做一个学者呢?全靠你们自己的选择!
易卜生说:“你的最大责任是把你这块材料铸造成器。”
学问便是铸器的工具。抛弃了学问便是毁了你自己。
再会了!你们的母校眼睁睁地要看你们十年之后成什么器。
汉翻英之二:桂林位于广西壮族自治区的东北角,被誉为“最美的和最值得外国游客观光的中国城市”。中国广泛流传这样一句话:桂林山水甲天下。岩溶峰林地貌,晶莹剔透的江水,经常浮现与中国艺术作品中,而神奇独特的洞穴更为桂林美景增添不少景致。
英汉翻译 : Mother's Letter to the World Dear World:
My son starts school today.It’s going to be strange and new to him for a while.And I wish you would sort of treat him gently. You see,up to now,he’s been king of the roost.He’s been boss of the back yard.I have always been around to repair his wounds,and to soothe his feelings.
But now― things are going to be different.
This morning,he’s going to walk down the front steps,wave his hand and start on his great adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow.To live his life in the world he has to live in will require faith and love and courage.
So,World,I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know.Teach him―but gently,if you can.Teach him that for every scoundrel,there is a hero;that for every crooked politician there is a dedicated leader;that for every enemy there is a friend.Teach him the wonders of books.Give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,bees in the sun,and flowers on the green hill.Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.Teach him to have faith in his own ideas,even if everyone else tells him they are wrong.Teach him to sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidder,but never to
put a price on his heart and soul.Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob...and to stand and fight if he thinks he’s right.Teach him gently,World,but don’t coddle him,because only the test of fire makes fine steel.
This is a big order,World,but see what you can do.He’s such a nice little fellow.

How China Does 'The Bachelor'
More than 50,000 young beauties from across China have lined up to win a date with one of 18 young, millionaire bachelors.The contest is the latest in a trend of beauty contests for the rich that has been criticized heavily in the media, on the net, and even by the government.The new contest was organized online, and its first round was held simultaneously in several major cities.Most contestants have already gone home in defeat, having failed an examination by feng shui masters to see whether they have a 'lucky face', according to an article on the People's Daily's
English website.Only 18 finalists will ultimately datethe eligible young men.Editorials in the online edition of China Daily, mirroring the overwhelmingly negative public reaction, blast the contest as 'money worship' and accuse it of treating women as sex objects.Editorialist Zhang Tianpin complains that the contest is the kind of scandalous behavior that makes many Chinese hate wealthy people.Elites should not to flaunt their money to seek beautiful women as partners but invest their money in activities for the benefit of society,' he argues.Some defend the contest by saying that at least the women are mature and chosen not solely for their looks.Men are looking for the whole package: 'beauty, good temperament, psychological balance, sound character, good educational qualification, high moral values, love, and respect for the institution of marriage,' asserts freelance journalist Huang Yunxiang.Indeed, most of the contestants are between 28 and 30, college-educated and have steady jobs.China has seen a steady expansion of elite dating contests, TV shows and websites in recent years.Golden Bachelor
Matchmakers, a high-end dating site, hires 'Love Hunters' to scour the country for attractive women between 5 feet,5 inches and 5 feet, 8 inches.Then, luxurious parties with steep entrance fees pair up rich men with these carefully selected beauties.It is not like they use money to find true love.They just want to have the best options,' Golden Bachelor Chairman Xu Tianli told China Daily.Vocal critics, however, are uncomfortable with the impact of these beauty contests on Chinese culture.According to an online article in the Global Times, the government has ordered all TV stations to stop showing 22-year-old fashion model Ma Nuo after she made comments that Chinese audiences deemed 'too materialistic.'
On a TV dating show, Ma refused an unemployed man's offer of a bicycle ride, saying: 'I would rather weep in a BMW than smile on your bicycle.'
中国各地五万多名年轻美女报名应征与18位年轻的单身男富豪约会的机会,这是美女争嫁富豪潮流的新一波,媒体、网络甚至中国政府一直在对这种活动进行严厉谴责。
ZUMApress.com舟山国际海洋小姐大赛的参赛选手为拍摄合影摆姿势。这次活动是在线组织的,第一轮竞争在几个大城市同步举行。据《人民日报》(People's Daily)英文网络版报道,大多数应征者未能通过风水师审查她们是否有“旺夫相”这一关,已失败回家。
仅有18名进入决赛的美女将最终获得约会机会,如果幸运的话,还将嫁给合适 的年轻男士。
《中国日报》(China Daily)网络版评论反映出多数公众对这一事件持完全否定态度,抨击这种活动是“拜金”,并指责这种作法是将女性视为性玩物。评论人张天频(音)批评说,这是一种可耻的行径,使得众多中国人仇视富人。
他说,精英人士不应化大钱找美女结婚,而应将钱用于造福社会等活动。
有人为这类活动辩解说,至少这些女性是成熟的,不光凭外表入选。自由撰稿人黄云翔(音)说,男性追求的女性条件是:相貌好、有气质、心态平和、性格好、受过良好教育、有高尚的价值观、有爱心而且要尊重婚姻。的确,大多数应征者年龄为28至30岁之间,受过大学教育,且有稳定的工作。
近年来,中国的精英婚恋活动、电视婚恋节目及婚恋网络呈逐渐增加趋势。一家高端婚恋网站钻石王老五征婚网(Golden Bachelor Matchmakers)雇佣“爱情猎头”在全国搜寻1.65米至1.72米的魅力女性。而后举行入场费昂贵的奢侈派对将这些精心挑拣出来的美女与富豪配对。
钻石王老五征婚网总裁徐天立接受《中国日报》采访时说,富豪们用钱不可能找到真爱。他们只是想有最好的选择。
但直言不讳的评论家们,就美女争嫁富豪类征婚活动对中国文化的冲击非常不安。据《环球时报》一篇在线文章称,政府已下令所有的电视台封杀22岁的时装模特马诺,此前她的言论让中国观众认为“过于功利化”。
之前在一个电视婚恋节目《非诚勿扰》中,马诺拒绝了一位失业男士的求婚,她说,“我宁愿坐在宝马里哭,也不坐在自行车后座上笑”。
不要抛弃学问
Never give up the pursuit of learning.诸位毕业同学:
Dear students of the Graduating Class,你们现在要离开母校了,我没有什么礼物送你们,只好送你们一句话罢。
As you are leaving your alma mater, I have nothing to offer you as a gift except a word of advice.这一句话是:“不要抛弃学问。”以前的功课也许有一大部分是为了这张毕业文凭,不得已而做的,从今以后,你们可以依自己的心愿自由去研究了。趁现在年富力强的时候,努力做一种专门学问。少年是一去不复返的,等到精力衰时,要做学问也来不及了。即为吃饭计,学问决不会辜负人的。吃饭而不求学问,三年五年之后,你们都要被后来少年淘汰掉的。到那时再想做点学问来补救,恐怕已太晚了。My advice is, “Never give up the pursuit of learning.” You have perhaps finished your college courses mostly for obtaining the diploma, or, in other words, out of sheer necessity.However, from now on you are free to follow your own bent in the choice of studies.While you are in the prime of life, why not devote yourselves to a special field of study? Youth will soon be gone never to return.And it will be too late for you to go into scholarship when in your declining years.Knowledge will do you a good turn even as a means of subsistence.If you give up studies while holding a job,you will in a couple of years have had yourselves replaced by young people.It will then be too late to remedy the situation by picking up studies again.有人说:“出去做事之后,生活问题急需解决,哪有工夫去读书?即使要做学问,既没有图书馆,又没有实验室,哪能做学问?” Sone people say, “Once you have a job, you'll come up against the urgent problem of making a living.How can you manage to find time to study? Even if you want to, will it be possible with no library or laboratory available?” 我要对你们说:凡是要等到有了图书馆方才读书,有了图书馆也不肯读书。凡是要等到有了实验室方才做研究的,有了实验室也不肯做研究。你有了决心要研究一个问题,自然会撙衣节食去买书,自然会想出法子来设置仪器。
Now let me tell you this.Those who refuse to study for lack of a liabrary will most probably continue to do so even though there is a library.And those who refuse to do research for lack of a laboratory will most probably continue to do so even though a laboratory is available.As long as you set your mind on studies, you
will naturally cut down on food and clothing to buy books or do everything possible to acquire necessary instruments.至于时间,更不成问题。达尔文一生多病,不能多作工,每天只能做一点钟的工作。你看他的成绩!每天花一点钟看10页有用的书,每年可看3600多页书,30年可读11万页书。Time is no object.Charles Darwin could only work one hour a day due to ill health.Yet what a remarkable man he was!If you spend one hour a day reading 10 pages of a book, you can finish more than 3,600 pages a year, and 110,000 pages in 30 years.诸位,11万页书可以使你成一个学者了。可是,每天看三种小报也得费你一点钟的工夫,四圈麻将也得费你一点半钟的光阴。看小报呢?还是打麻将呢?还是努力做一个学者呢?全靠你们自己的选择!
Dear students, 110000 pages will be quite enough to make a learned man of you.It will take you one hour to read three tabloids a day, and one and half hours to finish four rounds of mah-jong a day.Reading tabloids, playing mah-jongs or striving to be a learned man, the choice lies with you.易卜生说:“你的最大责任是把你这块材料铸造成器。” Henrik Ibsen says, “It's your supreme duty to cast yourself into a useful implement.” 学问便是铸器的工具。抛弃了学问便是毁了你们自己。Learning is the casting mould.Forsake learning, and you will ruin yourself.再会了!你们的母校眼睁睁地要看你们十年之后成什么器。Farewell!Your alma mater is watching eagerly to see what will become of you ten years from now.①“不要抛弃学问”在这里的意思是“不要放弃对学问的追求”,因此不能直译为 Never Give up Learning,必须加字:Never Give up the Pursuit of Learning.②“你们可以依自己的心愿自由去研究了”译为you are free to follow your own bent in the choice of studies,其中 to follow one's own bent 是成语,和 to follow one's inclination 同义,作“做自己感兴趣或爱做的事”解。③“做学问”译为 to go into scholarship, 等于 to engage in learning。
④“学问决不会辜负人的”译为 Knowledge will do you a good turn,其中 to do one a good turn 是成语,作“"做对某人有益的事”解。
⑤“撙衣节食”即“省吃省穿”,现译为 cut down on food and clothing, 其中 to cut down on 是成语,与 to economize on 同义,作“节约”解。又,上语也可译为 to live frugally.⑥“至于时间,更不成问题”译为 Time is no object, 其中 no object 是成语,等于 no problem, 作“不成问题”或“不在话下”解。
⑦“全靠你们自己的选择”译为 the choie lies with you 或 it is up to you to make the choice.⑧“你们的母校眼睁睁地要看......”中的“眼睁睁地”通常的意思是“无可奈何地”,现在这里做“热切地”解,故译为eagerly。

络呈逐渐增加趋势。一家高端婚恋网站钻石王老五征婚网(Golden Bachelor Matchmakers)雇佣“爱情猎头”在全国搜寻1.65米至1.72米的魅力女性。而后举行入场费昂贵的奢侈派对将这些精心挑拣出来的美女与富豪配对。
钻石王老五征婚网总裁徐天立接受《中国日报》采访时说,富豪们用钱不可能找到真爱。他们只是想有最好的选择。
但直言不讳的评论家们,就美女争嫁富豪类征婚活动对中国文化的冲击非常不安。据《环球时报》一篇在线文章称,政府已下令所有的电视台封杀22岁的时装模特马诺,此前她的言论让中国观众认为“过于功利化”。
之前在一个电视婚恋节目《非诚勿扰》中,马诺拒绝了一位失业男士的求婚,她说,“我宁愿坐在宝马里哭,也不坐在自行车后座上笑”。
英汉翻译 : Mother's Letter to the World Dear World:
My son starts school today.It’s going to be strange and new to him for a while.And I wish you would sort of treat him gently. You see,up to now,he’s been king of the roost.He’s been boss of the back yard.I have always been around to repair his wounds,and to soothe his feelings.
But now― things are going to be different.
This morning,he’s going to walk down the front steps,wave his hand and start on his great adventure that will probably include wars and tragedy and sorrow.To live his life in the world he has to live in will require faith and love and courage.
So,World,I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know.Teach him―but gently,if you can.Teach him that for every scoundrel,there is a hero;that for every crooked politician there is a dedicated leader;that for every enemy there is a friend.Teach him the wonders of books.
Give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,bees in the sun,and flowers on the green hill.
Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.Teach him to have faith in his own ideas,even if everyone else tells him they are wrong.Teach him to sell his brawn and brains to the highest bidder,but never to put a price on his heart and soul.Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob...and to stand and fight if he thinks he’s right.Teach him gently,World,but don’t coddle him,because only the test of fire makes fine steel.
This is a big order,World,but see what you can do.He’s such a nice little fellow. 亲爱的世界:
我的儿子今天开始上学。在一段时间内,他都会感到既陌生又新鲜。我希望你能对他温柔一点。
你知道,直到现在,他一直是家里的小皇帝;一直是后院的主人。我一直在他身边,为他料理伤口,给他感情上的慰藉。
可是现在———一切都将发生变化。今天早晨,他将走下屋前的台阶,挥挥手,踏上他伟大的冒险征途,途中也许会有战争、悲剧和伤痛。要在他必须生存的世界中生活需要信念、爱心和勇气。
所以,世界,我希望你握住他稚嫩的手,教他必须知道的一些事情。教他———但如果可能的话,温柔点儿。教他知道,世界上有一个恶棍,就有一个英雄;有一个奸诈的政客,就有一个富有奉献精神的领袖;有一个敌人,就有一个朋友。教他感受书本的魅力。给他时间,去安静地思索自然界中永恒的神秘:空中的小鸟,阳光下的蜜蜂,青山上的花朵。教他知道,失败比欺骗要光荣得多。教他要坚信自己的思想,哪怕别人都予以否定。教
他可把自己的体力和脑力以最高价出售,但绝对不要出卖自己的心灵和灵魂。教他对暴徒的嚎叫置若罔闻„„并且在认为自己是对的时候站出来战斗。以温柔的方式教导他,世界,但不要溺爱 他,因为只有烈火才能炼出真钢。
这是个很高的要求,世界,但请你尽力而为。他是一个多么可爱的小伙子。

加入WTO表明中国将得以保护其商品免遭惩罚性贸易关卡。美国将停止其一年一度的对华贸易审查程序。在这个审查程序中,美国国会总是以中国的人权状况为由来审议终止与中国的“正常贸易关系”。
