第二篇：四六级中国文化翻译
1.长城是人类创造的世界奇迹之一。如果你到了中国却没去过长城，就像到了巴黎没有去看埃菲尔铁塔，或者就像到了埃及没有去看金字塔一样。人们常说：“不到长城非好汉。”实际上，长城最初只是一些断断续续的城墙，直到秦朝统一中国后才将其连城长城。然而，今天我们看到的长城——东起山海关，西至嘉峪关——大部分都是在明代修建的。
The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that was created by human beings.If you come to China without climbing the Great Wall, it's just like going to Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower;or going to Egypt without paying a visit to the Pyramids.As it is often quoted by people, “He who doest not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.” In fact, it began as independent walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the “Great Wall” until the Qin Dynasty.However, the wall we see today, starting from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayuguan Pass in the west, was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty.2.要了解中国文化，就应该对中国的戏曲文化有所了解。中国地方戏种类很多，其中京剧是一个具有代表性的剧种。作为一个独立的剧种，京剧的诞生大约是在1840年至I860年。京剧是在吸收其他地方戏营养的基础上形成的。京剧有明确的角色分工。在念白上用北京方言；在音乐上以胡琴为主要伴奏乐器。由于京剧是在融合各种地方戏之精华的基础上形成的，所以它不仅为北京的观众所钟爱，也受到全国人民的喜爱。
To understand the Chinese culture, you have to know something about the Chinese opera culture.In China, there are many kinds of local operas, among which Peking Opera is a representative one.As an independent opera form, Peking Opera was approximately born between 1840 and 1860.Peking opera originated from absorbing the essentials of other local operas.In Peking Opera there is a clear division of roles.The spoken parts are in Beijing dialect;and huqin is the main accompaniment instrument.Since Peking Opera has combined the cream of various local operas, it is enjoyed not only by Beijing audience, but also by people all over the country.难点精析：
1.要了解中国文化，就应该对中国的戏曲文化有所了解：该句没有给出明确的主语，因而在翻译时要注意：增译主语you。“中国的戏曲文化”可译为the Chinese opera culture。
2.中国地方戏种类很多，其中京剧是一个具有代表性的剧种：该句在翻译时可以采用非限定性定语从句结构。该句可译为：In China, there are many kinds of local operas, among which Peking Opera is a representative one.注意此处为了避免在前后分句中重复使用名词opera而在后半句中使用了名词性替代词 one。3.京剧是在吸收其他地方戏营养的基础上形成的：“在„„的基础上形成”如果直接译为be formed on the I basis of...会稍显生硬，因而可以灵活译为originate from...。“地方戏”可以直译为local opera。4.念白：“念白”指的是中国戏曲中人物的独白或者两者的对话，因而此处在翻译时可将其灵活译为the spoken parts。
5.胡琴：这一特有名词在英文中并没有直接对应的词汇或表达，因而可以采用汉语拼音表示。
6.“the cream of…”: …的精华；…的精英
第三篇：关于中国文化的翻译
Today the ancient, ancestral wisdom of the hand has been largely replaced by the simple movements of the machine operator, our glass and china, furniture, books, and textiles are almost entirely products of the machine．The machine-made goods can be well designed and good-looking no one denies;nevertheless, there are many who believe that if the old skills of the hand-worker were to die out altogether it would be a disaster.Their arguments are, roughly, three.First, that the machine is by its nature a mass producer, and that objects made in ones and twos can be made better, even cheaper, by an individual craftsman than by a machine;secondly that the human hand with relatively simple tools can produce objects of a quality permanently beyond the reach of the machine；thirdly, that it is not good for mankind if people lose the ability to create with their hands.今天，那种古老的祖传手艺在很大程度上已为机器操作者简单的动作所取代。我们使用的玻璃制品、瓷器、家具、书籍和纺织品几乎全都是机器生产的。现在谁也不会否认，机器制品可以做到设计精巧、式样美观。然而，却有许多人认为，要是手工艺人的技艺完全失传的话，那准是一场灾难。他们的理由，归纳起来大体上有三点。首先，机器生产本来就是大批量生产，而由个体工匠单个制成的物品则比机器生产的更好，甚至更便宜。其次，人的手工借助于简单的工具能生产高质量的物品，这是机器望尘莫及的。第三，如果人类丧失了用双手进行创造的能力，那对他们来说，并不是一件好事。
中国之所以坚持独立自主的和平外交立场，是因为在历史上她百年来饱受帝国主义侵略战争带来的苦难，更珍惜今天来之不易的和平生活，更同情与支持各国人民共同努力维护世界和平。中国是个发展中国家，正致力于通过改革开放，加快社会主义现代化建设，努力提高人民生活水平。为了实现既定的经济社会发展规划与目标，中国不仅需要国内的安定，也需要有一个和平的国际环境，特别是和平的周边环境。可以说这种愿望与世界各国人民的和平愿望是一致的。人们都知道，当今世界面临和平与发展两大课题，各国人民都希望有一个安宁平静的和平环境，以发展经济，改善生活。只有如此才能和平保障发展，发展促进和平。
China insists on a peaceful, independent foreign policy, because she suffered a great deal from imperialist invasion for almost a century, and thus she cherishes her hard-earned peaceful life all the more and would give more sympathy and support to the concerted efforts of all the people to maintain world peace.Being a developing country, China is trying in every way possible to speed up its socialist construction and raise the people’s living standards by means of reform and the open policy.To achieve the goal set for her economic and social development, China needs not only national stability but also a peacefulinternational environment, especially peacefulsurroundings．This is also the hope of all the people in the world.Peace and development are the two major tasks facing the world today.All the world peoples hope for a peaceful international situation so that they can develop their economies and improve living conditions.Peace is the guarantee for development and development in turn promotes peace.
