汉英段落翻译练习
A.在巴黎,名目繁多的酒会,冷餐会是广交朋友的好机会。在这种场合陌生人相识,如果是亚洲人,他们往往开口之前先毕恭毕敬地用双手把自己的名片呈递给对方,这好像是不可缺少的礼节。然而,法国人一般却都不大主动递送名片,双方见面寒暄几句,甚至海阔天空地聊一番也就各自走开,只有当双方谈话投机,希望继续交往时,才会主动掏出名片。二话不说先递名片反倒显得有些勉强。
B.来美国求学的中国学生与其他亚裔学生一样,大多非常刻苦勤奋,周末也往往会抽出一天甚至两天的时间去实验室加班,因而比起美国学生来,成果出得较多。我的导师是亚裔人,嗜烟好酒,脾气暴躁。但他十分欣赏亚裔学生勤奋与扎实的基础知识,也特别了解亚裔学生的心理。因此,在他实验室所招的学生中,除有一名来自德国外,其余5位均是亚裔学生。他干脆在实验室的门上贴一醒目招牌:“本室助研必须每周工作7天,早10时至晚12时,工作时间必须全力以赴。”这位导师的严格及苛刻是全校有名的,在我所呆的3年半中,共有14位学生被招进他的实验室,最后博士毕业的只剩下5人。1990年夏天,我不顾别人劝阻,硬着头皮接受了导师的资助,从此开始了艰难的求学旅程。
C.这次到台湾访问交流,虽然行程匆匆,但是,看了不少地方,访了旧友,交了新知,大家走到一起,谈论的一个重要话题就是中华民族在21世纪的强盛。虽然祖国大陆、台湾的青年生活在不同的社会环境中,有着各自不同的生活经历,但大家的内心都深深铭刻着中华文化优秀传统的印记,都拥有着振兴中华民族的共同理想。在世纪之交的伟大时代,我们的祖国正在走向繁荣富强,海峡两岸人民也将加强交流,共同推进祖国统一大业的早日完成。世纪之交的宝贵机遇和巨大挑战将青年推到了历史前台。跨世纪青年一代应该用什么样的姿态迎接充满希望的新世纪,这是我们必须回答的问题。
日月潭水波不兴,仿佛与我一同在思索„„
D.世界上第一代博物馆属于自然博物馆,它是通过化石、标本等向人们介绍地球和各种生物的演化历史。第二代属于工业技术博物馆,它所展示的是工业文明带来的各种阶段性结果。这两代博物馆虽然起到了传播科学知识的作用,但是,它们把参观者当成了被动的旁观者。世界上第三代博物馆是充满全新理念的博物馆。在这里,观众可以自己去动手操作,自己细心体察。这样,他们可以更贴近先进的科学技术,去探索科学技术的奥妙。中国科技馆正是这样的博物馆!它汲取了国际上一些著名博物馆的长处,设计制作了力学、光学、电学、热学、声学、生物学等展品,展示了科学的原理和先进的科技成果。
E.人是一个非常复杂的矛盾体。为了不受干扰地工作,常常要逃避世俗的热闹,可一旦长期陷入孤境,又感到痛苦,感到难以忍受。
一般情况下,我喜欢孤独。我的最大爱好是深思默想。我可以一个人长时间地独处而感到愉快。独享欢乐是一种愉快,独自忧伤也是一种愉快。孤独的时候,精神不会是一片纯粹的空白,它仍然是一个丰富多彩的世界。情绪上的大欢乐和大悲痛往往都在孤独中产生。孤独中,思维可以不依照逻辑进行。孤独更多地产生人生的诗情——激昂的和伤感的。孤独可以使人的思想向更遥远更深邃的地方伸展,也能使你对自己或环境作更透彻的认识和检讨。
当然,孤独常常叫人感到无以名状的忧伤。而这忧伤有时又是很美丽的。
我喜欢孤独。
但我也很惧怕孤独。
F.简·奥斯丁的小说写的都是三五户人家居家度日,婚恋嫁娶的小事。因此不少中国读者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的声誉。但一部小说开掘得深不深,艺术和思想是否有过人之处,的确不在题材大小。有人把奥斯丁的作品比作越嚼越有味道的橄榄。这不仅因为她的语言精彩,并曾对小说艺术的发展有创造性贡献,也因为她的轻快活泼的叙述实际上并不那么浅白,那么透明。史密斯夫人说过,女作家常常试图修正现存的价值秩序,改变人们对“重要”和“不重要”的看法。也许奥斯丁的小说能教我们学会转换眼光和角度,明察到“小事”的叙述所涉及的那些不小的问题。
G.脍炙人口的传统京剧《白蛇传》讲的是传自明朝的故事。白蛇精与青蛇精化作美女来到人间。白蛇精与一位书生相爱并生一子。禅师法海认为他们的结合违反传统婚姻,伤风败俗,他气急败坏。于是他派神兵神将前来捉拿白蛇精,并将她镇压在一座塔下面。后来,青蛇精在深山中修炼,习武多年,终于砸烂了那座塔,救出白蛇精。至此,白蛇精与丈夫、儿子又得团聚。在《白》剧中,蛇被赋予了崇高的人性。
第二篇:段落翻译练习
第一篇翻译:样卷 剪纸
剪纸(paper cutting)是中国最为流行的传统民间艺术形式之一。中国剪纸有一千五百多年的历史,在明朝和清朝时期(the Ming and Qing Dynasties)特别流行。人们常用剪纸美化居家环境。特别是在春节和婚庆期间,剪纸被用来装饰门窗和房间,以增加喜庆的气氛。剪纸最常用的颜色是红色,象征健康和兴旺。中国剪纸在世界各地很受欢迎,经常被用作馈赠外国友人的礼物。
Paper cutting is one of China’s most popular traditional folk arts.Chinese paper cutting has a history of more than 1,500 years.It was widespread particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.People often beautify their homes with paper cuttings.During the Spring Festival and wedding celebrations, in particular, paper cuttings are used to decorate doors, windows and rooms in order to enhance the joyous atmosphere.The color most frequently used in paper cutting is red, which symbolizes health and prosperity.Chinese paper cutting is very popular around the world and it is often given as a present to foreign friends.第二篇翻译:中秋节 12人们在农历八月十五日庆祝中国的传统节日——中秋节。几千年来,中国人喜欢将人的悲欢离合与月亮的阴晴圆缺联系起来。3因为满月是圆的,象征着团圆,中秋节也被称为团圆节。4所有家庭成员会尽力团聚在这特殊的日子里,而那些不能回家的人则观望明月,以寄思念。5此外,月宫里美丽的仙女嫦娥的神话故事也赋予了这一丰收节日的神话色彩(mythological flavor)。
参考译文: 1Mid-Autumn Festival, one of Chinese traditional festivals, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar.2For thousands of years, Chinese people like to relate joy and sorrow, parting and reunion to changes of the moon(as it waxes and wanes).3Since the full moon is round, which symbolizes reunion, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the festival of reunion.4All family members try to get together on this special day, while those who can not return home try to watch the bright moonlight to send/express their longing for their loved ones.5In addition, this harvest festival is also given a mythological flavor with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful fairy in the moon.该篇材料涉及中国的传统文化——中秋节庆祝的内容,主要考察对于文化词汇的理解与灵活翻译运用能力,诸如“农历”、“悲欢离合”、“阴晴圆缺”、“团圆”、“仙女嫦娥”等。
第一句应译为含有被动语态的简单句,同时,注意“农历八月十五日”的灵活表达。当主句的主语是泛指人称代词,且语境并不强调动作的发出者时,宜采用被动语态进行翻译,语体更加正式,其更符合英文的表达习惯。“农历八月十五日”可以表达为“the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar/ 15th, August of the lunar calendar ”;“中秋节”可译为“Mid-Autumn Festival”,该词已广为理解和接受,亦可音译为“Zhong Qiu Jie”,以保留中国文化特色词语。
第二句的翻译主要考查“悲欢离合”、“阴晴圆缺”、“联系”这三个词的语义选择。“悲欢离合”即为“悲伤,欢乐,离别,重逢”,应采用名词形式,其中,“离别”可译为“parting/departure/farewell”等。“阴晴圆缺”应译为习语“the moon waxes and wanes”,亦可简单译为“the changes of the moon”,就能较准确地表达句意。“联系”可译为“relate A to B/ connect A to/with B/ associate A with B”等。
第三句应译为带有原因状语从句的复合句,主要考查非限定性定语从句的运用以及“团圆”的语义选择。“象征着团圆”这个分句可译成非限定性定语从句,对“满月”的信息进行补充说明;亦可译为原因状语从句的谓语部分,如“Since the full moon is round and symbolizes reunion”。“团圆”这个词具有一定的文化色彩,译文中较难既保留“圆”的形象又表达“圆满/团聚”的意义,这里换一种说法,译成“reunion/being together”即可。主句中的“也被称为”可译为“…is also known as…”。
第四句的翻译主要考查连接词“while”以及不定式作目的状语的用法。根据语境,前后句意表明的是不同情况下的对比,没有强烈的转折关系,所以应用“while”,而不用“but/ however/whereas”等连接词。“以寄思念”为目的状语,宜用动词的不定式进行翻译,可译为“to send/express their longing for their loved ones”,或“to comfort their homesickness”,或简单地译为“to miss their home”。
第五句可译为简单句,主要考察被动语态的灵活运用以及“赋予”、“月宫”、“仙女”的语义选择。根据语境,该段主要描述中秋节的风俗习惯,前面已有两句采用“中秋节”为主语,为了使上下文更好地衔接或更连贯,此句仍以“中秋节”为主语,并采用被动语态进行翻译;当然,采用主动语态翻译也是可以接受的。“赋予”可译成“A be given sth.by/with B/ A be endowed with sth.by B”;“月宫”即为“the moon”;“仙女”译为“fairy”。
第三篇翻译: 舞龙舞狮
中国是舞龙舞狮的起源地。自问世以来,舞龙、舞狮运动一直受到各个民族人民的喜爱,代代相传,长久不衰,并因此形成了灿烂的舞龙舞狮文化。长期以来,很多青年朋友都以为龙舞、狮舞就是春节、庙会、庆典时的喜庆表演,殊不知它历经了几千年的传承流变,积淀了深厚的历史文化,是祖先留给我们的极其宝贵的文化遗产。
核心词提示:
舞龙:the Dragon Dance 舞狮:Lion Dance 春节:Spring Festival 庙会:Spring Festival fairs
China is the original place of the Dragon Dance and Lion Dance.Since the birth of them, they've always been favored by every ethnic group, which was passed on from generation to generation, long lasting without stops, and thus a prosperous culture of Dragon Dance and Lion Dance was gradually formed.Lots of people reckoned that such shows are certain shows at happy occasions such as Spring Festival and Spring Festival fairs and celebrations.However, they failed to realize that the Dances had passed through thousands of years, which contributed greatly to its profound history and culture, and they're precious cultural heritage left by our ancestors.第四篇翻译:旗袍
旗袍,是中国女性的传统服装,源于中国满族女性的传统服装。因为满族人被称为“旗人”,所以满族人的长袍被称为“旗袍”。到了20世纪20年代,受西方服饰的影响,经过改进之后的旗袍逐渐在广大妇女中流行起来。在中国,很多女性都喜欢穿旗袍。结婚的时候,新娘不仅要订做一件中式旗袍作为结婚礼服,还 要穿着漂亮的旗袍照一套婚纱照,作为永久的纪念。对于中国的女明星们而言,旗袍也成为她们参加各种重要活动的首选礼服。
核心词提示:
旗袍:Cheongsam [ˈtʃɔ:ŋˈsæm] 满族:Manchu 旗人:banner man

八级汉英翻译练习(打印部分)
1.人际关系问题我们不要太浪漫主义。人是很有趣的,往往在接触一个人时首先看的都是他或她的优点。这点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候,印象很好。吃头两个主菜时,也是赞不绝口。愈吃愈趋于冷静,吃完了这顿宴席,缺点就都找出来了。于是转喜为怒,转赞美为责备挑剔,转首肯为摇头。这是因为,第一,开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态,而饿了吃糠甜加蜜,饱了吃蜜也不甜。........2.(1)只有在我过于劳累,在我长时间无间断地工作,在我感到内心空虚,需要填补的时候,我才寂寞。而有时在我巡回演讲后回家时,在我见了许多人,讲了许多话。且经历多得需要清理时,我才寂寞。
(2)于是有那么小会儿感觉房子又大又空,我都不知道我的自我藏在哪儿了。于是我会给植物浇浇水,或者将它们再挨个儿瞅瞅,好像它们是人一样。这样我才慢慢地重新找回自我。
(3)好大一会儿,我看着水浪花从喷泉中涌出,但只有当世界在我身边逐渐消逝时,那一时刻才会到来,自我又从内心深处的无意识中冒出来,带来我最近的种种经历,让我探究,慢慢领会。
3.(`1)第二天清早,她起早出了门。她走进批发行商业区,但是每当她走到一个商号,打算进去找工作时,她的勇气就消失了。她心里骂自己是胆小鬼,所以她继续往前走,走了又走,最后终于走进了一家商号。结果还是老样子。她出来时感到命运在和她作对,因此一切努力都是徒劳的。
(2)她不知不觉中来到一个大商场,门口有成群的顾客。这些立刻使她改变了想法。她原先就是打算到这里来买新衣服的。现在为了解愁,她决定进去瞧瞧。她很想看看那些外套。有时,一个人尽管想买东西,可是又因心里拿不定主意,所以在心里不断掂量权衡。世界上再没有比这种中间状态更令人愉悦了。

The Silk Road is a historically important international trade route between China and the Mediterranean.Because silk comprised a large proportion of trade along this road, in 1877, it was named the Silk Road by an eminent German geographer.This ancient road begins at Chang’an, then by way of the Hexi Corridor,and it reaches Dunhuang, where it divides into three, the Southern Route,Central Route and Northern Route.The three routes spread all over the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and then they extend as far as Pakistan, India and even Rome.6.四合院是从明代的北京延续下来的古典建筑风格的住宅。四合 院之间的狭窄的街道被称为“胡同”。_个四合院有园林包围着四个 房子,有高高的围墙保护。四合院与胡同都是人们常见到的,有超 过700多年的历史,但是由于现在的城市改造和中国经济的发展,四合院慢慢地从北京消失。

The number of people aged 60 and above in China is expected to jump from the current 18
5million to 487 million, or 35 percent of the population, by 2053,according to figures from the China National Committee On Aging.The expanding ratio is due both an increase in life expectancy and by family planning policies that limit most urban families to a single child.Rapid aging poses serious threats to the country’s social and economic stability.9.景德镇,中国瓷都(ceramic metropolis),是世界瓷器艺术花园的 耀眼明珠。它位于长江南部,是江南一个有活力的城镇。它制造瓷 器(porcelain)的历史已经有1700多年,已经形成了丰富的瓷器文化。稀有的瓷器文物,一流的瓷器工艺,瓷乐器的优雅表演,以及优美 的田园风光组成了景德镇特别的旅游文化,而且让景德镇成为中国 唯一一个以瓷器旅游文化为特色的旅游城市。
