第三篇：英语4级翻译练习

四级翻译练习

1.__________________(从太空上来看)，our earth, with water covering about 75% of its surface, appears as a “blue planet”.2.Anti-government demonstrations do occur, but seldom, if ever, ______________________(正如报纸上报道他们的那样)。

3.He lent me a thousand pounds,____________________(那正好是我需要的数目)to solve my problem.4.The villagers_____________________(理所当然地认为)that we should build new roads.5.______________________(如果我和我兄弟之间出现争吵)，my dad settles it.答案： 1.Seen from space Seen from space此处用做状语，它和句子主句the earth 的关系是被动的，要用过去分词，being seen 是现在分词的被动形式，这种形式用在动作正在进行或与谓语表示的动词同时发生，在作状语的分词里较少适用。

2.are they reported in the newspaper but 后的分句是以含有否定意义的seldom起首的，后面要用倒装结构。由于是被报纸报道，所以report 要用它的被动形式。

3.which is exactly the amount I needed 此处用关系代词which 指代a thousand pounds.英语中表示金钱、时间、距离等数量的名词短语，虽然形式上是复数的，其后动词仍用单数形式。4.take it for granted take it for granted 是固定搭配，意思是“理所当然地认为”。

5.If any quarrel arises between my brother and me 此句容易把arise 用成rise，但是 rise的意思是“升起，起来”，而arise 的意思是“出现，发生，呈现”，主语一般为抽象名词，如“problem, trouble, quarrel”等.1．_______________(钟声响了)and we realized it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.2.Finding it difficult to _______________(适应那里的气候)，he decided to move to the north.3.He asked the teacher to____________________(解释得更详细一些)。

4．___________________________(与成年人学习外语相比)children do not have good conditions, but they can master mother tongue completely.5.________________(就外表而言)，Jack and his younger brother have little in common.答案： 1.The clock struck

时钟报时用strike,而不用ring.电话铃响了一般用ring.2.adapt to the climate there adapt to 有“与……相适应”的意思，还可以用“be accustomed to ”或“be adjusted to”来表达类似的意思。注意这些“to”后面一定要跟名词或动名词。

3.explain the word in greater detail “explain the word in greater detail”即“详细解释某事”的意思。4.Compared with adults learning foreign languages

此句考查分词的正确使用，它的主语是children,与adults相比，与compare是动宾关系，所以要用表示被动关系的过去分词形式。

5.As far as the appearance is concerned “as far as something is concerned”表示“就……而言”，相似的短语有“as something referred”,表示就某事物的某方面作说明 一.词汇层次 大学生活类

例：_____________________(我们怎么尽力)，we could not accomplish it on time.答案：Try as we might(本题考察倒装句，as 引导的让步状语从句的谓语提前，句子倒装)练习题

1._______________(尽管你读的快)，we could not accomplish it.2._______________(尽管还是个孩子)，he knows much knowledge of science.3.If we won’t agree to your plan, _______________(他们也不会同意)。答案：

1.Fast as you read 2.Child as he is

3.neither will they 模拟演练

1.I should say Henry is _______________(与其说是个作家不如说是)as a reporter.2.Mr.John is a happy man who_________________(从帮助别人中得到快乐)。

3.The sports meet which was planned to be held last Friday____________________________(最终因天气不好而取消了)。

4.Cancer is ______________(仅次于)heart disease as a cause of death.5.It is a pity that we should stay at home when we have____________________(这么好的天气)。答案：1.not so much a writer

(“与其说，不如说”可以用not so much…as…的结构来表达)2.derives pleasure from helping others

(“derive from ”意为“从…获得…”，from是介词，所以后面要接动名词。要注意区分“derive…from”和“deprive sb.Of…”后者意为“剥夺某人的…”)

3.was finally called off/cancelled because of the bad weather

(分析题干可知句子的主语为“the sports meet”, which was planned to be held last Friday是修饰它的定语从句，且事情发生在过去，故谓语动词应该用过去时单数。因动词“取消”的逻辑主语不是句子的主语，因此要用被动语态。“取消” 的表达法有“call off,cancel”等)4.second only to

(本题考查be second to的结构，注意不要漏译副词“仅仅”)

5.such fine weather

(such 可以表示“如此，这般”之意，其后可直接跟名词，表强调)1.___________________(据我所知)，this is the first time a Chinese rider has won the competition.2.You are never________________(老到不能获得圣诞长袜所带来的快乐。)3._____________________(他们几乎从来没有分开过)in thirty years of marriage.4.In the Chinese household, grandparents and other relatives__________________(起着重要的作用)in raising children.5.Frankly speaking, I’d rather you__________________(不采用任何措施)about it for the time being.答案：1.So far as I know/As far as I know

（本题考查固定用法so/as as sb knows, 据某人所知）

2.too old to enjoy a Christmas stocking

(本题考查too…to…的句型，表示“太…以至于不能…”，还考查enjoy一词的用法，enjoy sth 表示“享受某事带来的乐趣”)

3.They were hardly ever parted

(本题主要考查否定词hardly,意为“几乎从来没有”，由于它没有置于句首，句子用正常语序即可，be parted 意为“分开”)

4.play important roles

(本题考查“play a part/role in doing sth”结构，表示“起着…作用，饰演…的角色”)

5.not to do anything /not to take any action

(“would rather ”的否定形式是would rather not to do ,would rather 没有人称和数的变化。“采取措施”可译为“do something”或“take some action”)

1.Why didn’t you tell me you could lend me the money? I__________________(本来不必从银行借钱)。

2.We are a competitive company looking for creative people willing to work __________________(尽其所能)。

3.I have no objection__________________(再听听你的故事)。

4.Sorry I didn’t realize ____________________(这是个如此敏感的问题)。

5.If this can’t be settled reasonably ,it may be necessary to _________________(诉诸武力)。答案：

1.needn’t have borrowed it from the bank

(本题考查虚拟语气，“本来”意味着与过去事实相反，因此用have+动词过去分词，译文中用it指代前文提到的money，避免了重复)2.to the best of their ability

(本题考查惯用词组“to the best of one’s ability”,意为“尽某人所能，尽最大努力”)

3.to hearing your story again(本题考查objection的用法，其通常和介词to连用，后面接动名词。Have no objection to doing sth,意为“对做某事没有意见”)

4.it was such a sensitive issue

(本题考查强调句型it is such a…“敏感话题”译为“sensitive issue”)

5.resort to force

(本题考查it is necessary to do sth, 用resort to sth 来表示“诉诸，求助于某物”)1.He wrote to say ___________________(他们终究还是不能给我一份工作).2.There’s a man at the reception desk who seems very angry and I think he means__________________(想找麻烦).3.I would_______________(不会诉诸法律)a court of law if I hadn’t been so desperate.4.This popular sports car_________________(正在生产出来)out at the rate of a thousand a week.5.Mark often_________________(试图逃脱罚款)whenever he breaks traffic regulations.答案：

1.they couldn’t give me a job after all

(本句直译即可，say后面一般跟宾语从句，所译的部分即为从句内容，“终究”用after all来表示)2.to make trouble

(本题考查固定短语make trouble“找麻烦”，此外还考查mean to do sth的结构)3.have never resorted to

(本题考查虚拟语气的形式，根据从句用的hadn’t been 可知，主句应用would have done 的形式。Resort to 用于表示“诉诸”)

4.is now being turned

(根据时间副词“正在”和“车是被生产的”这一概念可以判断出译文应用现在进行时的被动语态，即be being 动词的过去分词形式，本题另一难点在“turn out”生产这个词组上，题干只给出了out，需要填入turn将其补全)5.attempts to escape being fined

(本题考查固定短语attempt to do sth表示“努力做某事”，其次考查escape的用法，其后要接动名词形式，常与介词from搭配)

If a snake bites you, take a photo with your mobile phone!It may save your life.This is the surprising advice of a British cook.One day HERRY Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen.He picked up a dish from the table, and suddenly a snake appeared…and bit him on the hand.A few days earlier, the snake came to the restaurant from Asia in a box of bananas.It climbed out of the box and hid under the dish.“I went to try to pick it up and it bit me again.I threw it across the kitchen, and it landed in the fridge.So I closed the door,” Mr.Jackson said.Anyway, Mr.Jackson stayed cool and he took a photo of the snake with his mobile phone.Soon his hand began to ache and he went to hospital.Then his chest began to hurt.Doctors couldn‟t say what was wrong because they didn‟t know what kind of snake it was.Then Mr.Jackson remembered his mobile phone photo.The doctors sent it to London Zoo.When they knew the kind of snake, they could give Mr.Jackson the right medicine, and he left hospital the next day.“So my advice is this: If a snake bites you, pick up your phone.Take its photo first and then show the photo to the doctors,” suggests Mr.Jackson.“Oh, and if the snake doesn‟t smile for its photo, don‟t worry!”

In 2000, the Mars Global Surveyor photographed cracks（裂缝）on the surface of Mars.The cracks looked like dry riverbeds.But Mars doesn’t have rivers!Scientists puzzled over what could have caused them.Professor Philip Christensen of Arizona State University has an answer: snow.Mars’ north and south poles（极）are covered with

ice and snow.As Mars whirls around the sun, it wobbles slightly.When one icy pole tilts toward the sun, some of the ice becomes gas.Winds blow the gas around the planet, where it falls once more as snow—and carves out the riverbeds.Christensen wrote up his theory（理论）and published it this week in the science journal Nature.“I‟ve never experienced anything like this before,” he told Scholastic News Online of his discovery.“It felt like something clicked.I know why people say a lightbulb goes off.It just clicked, and I said, „Ah—ha!”

Recently I was walking in town when I saw a group of school students in uniform.I was shocked to see that the girls‟ skirts were very short and they were wearing a lot of make—up.The boys looked shirtfronts open.I noticed that some of the students had pierced（穿洞的）ears and noses, which I don’t think should be allowed at school.And the other day, I was riding on the subway when I saw some boys from a local school, I knew they were from this school because they were wearing the same uniform as my children.Instead of sitting quietly, these boys were making a lot of noise, chewing gums in an ugly manner, and using bad language.All the other passengers were looking at them and wondering how it was possible for these boys not to have any self—respect（自尊）.They were also giving their school a very bad image, which is shameful（羞耻的）.I am a mother of two teenagers at this school and I am worried that my children also behave like this and I do not know about it.Do school students know what is allowed and what is not allowed when they are wearing their school uniform?

世界贸易组织成立于1995年1月1日，目的是确保一个稳定的全球和贸易经济环境。在当今世界上的190多个国家中，世界贸易组织的成员国(member country)有158个。在处理国家之间的贸易规则方面，世界贸易组织是唯一的全球性国际组织。世贸组织的事务应该引起我们的关注，因为世贸组织制定的规则对我们国家的经济和国民生活都有一定的影响。The WTO(World Trade Organization),established on January 1, 1995, aims to ensure a stable trade and economic world environment.The WTO is an association of 158 member countries, of more than 190 countries in the world today.The WTO is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations.The business of the WTO should be of interest to us because the rules that are being decided therein have an impact on our national economy, and peoples lives.2 奥运会是国际性的体育盛会(sporting events)，体育项目种类繁多，分为夏冬两季，均是每4年举办一次。最初有记载的奥运会于公元前776年在希腊的奥林匹亚(Olympia)举行。奥运会是最大的媒体活动之一。2000年悉尼奥运会上，有超过1.6万名播音员和新闻记者参与报道。据估计，有38亿观众通过电视收看了此届盛会。然而，奥运会的发展也是奥运会面临的一个大问题。

The Olympic Games are an international multisport event subdivided into summer and winter sporting events.The summer and winter games are each held every four years.The original Olympic Games were first recorded in 776 BC in Olympia, Greece.The Olympics are one of the largest media events.In Sydney in 2000 there were more than 16 000 broadcasters and journalists, and an estimated 3.8 billion viewers watched the games on television.However, the development of the Olympics is one of the largest problems the Olympics face today.3 《三国演义》由罗贯中创作于14世纪，是一部中国历史题材小说。小说以汉朝末年和三国时期的历史演变为背景，叙述了在这个动荡(turbulent)时期发生的一系列重大事情。整个故事情节从公元168年开始一直到公元280年领土统一(reunification)时结束。小说篇幅长达80万字，分为120个章节，共描述了1 191个人物角色，堪称中国文学史上四大经典小说之一。

Romance of the Three Kingdoms, written by Luo Guanzhong in the 14th century, is a Chinese historical novel based upon events in the turbulent years near the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, starting in AD 168 and ending with the reunification of the land in AD 280.It is acclaimed as one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature, with a grand total of 800 000 words, 1 191 characters, and 120 chapters.4 秧歌舞(Yangko)是中国汉族的一种传统民间舞蹈，通常在北方省份表演。秧歌舞者通常穿上明亮多彩的表演服装(costume)，他们的表演动作有力而迅速。在农历春节、元宵节等节日期间，人们一旦听到锣(gong)鼓声，不管外面天气有多冷，他们都会蜂拥到街上观看秧歌舞表演。近年来，中国东北某些城市的老年人自发组织了秧歌队，队员常年通过跳秧歌舞来保持健康，同时他们也乐在其中。The Yangko dance is a traditional folk dance of the Han Chinese, commonly performed in the northern provinces.Yangko dancers usually wear bright and colorful costumes, and their movements are vigorous and quick.During holidays such as lunar New Year and the Lantern Festival, as soon as people hear the sound of drums and gongs they swarm into the streets to watch Yangko dance performances, no matter how cold it is outside.In recent years, elderly people in some cities in Northeast China have been organizing themselves into Yangko teams, with the dancers mostly enjoying themselves while keeping fit all year round.5 中国人喜欢在一起吃饭，这个传统可以追溯到很久之前。这反映出中国人喜欢团圆、不愿分离的观念——圆桌、圆盘、圆碗都象征着团圆和美满。盘子通常放在桌子的中央,这样坐在桌子面前的所有人都可以吃得到。一锅热汤尤其可以增加和谐、团圆的气氛。朋友们也喜欢在一起吃饭、生活。最近一位美国汉学家(Sinologist)的著作认为，中国人的集体观念(collective tradition)就是从一同吃饭发展而来的。

Chinese like to eat together, which is a tradition that can be traced back a long time ago.It reflects the Chinese notion of union versus division—round tables, round dishes, and round bowls all symbolize union and perfection.Dishes are usually placed at the center of the table so that everyone around the table can share them.A hot pot, in particular, adds to the atmosphere of harmony and union.Friends also like to eat and live together.A recent book by an American Sinologist held that the Chinese collective tradition developed out of the practice of eating together.6 川剧(Sichuan Opera)就像四川火锅以及其他的名菜一样动人、丰富。变脸(Face Changing)是川剧中的一大亮点。据说古人在他们的脸上作画，[JP2]以便赶走野生动物。川剧吸收了这一古老的技艺并将其升华为一门艺术。变脸是一门神奇的艺术。演员在不到20秒的时间内要换十多次脸谱。通过举手、摆袖或摇头，演员使用不同的脸谱来表现不同的情绪，并通过看得见摸得着的脸谱表达出看不见摸不着的感情。

Sichuan Opera(Chuan Ju), like hotpot and other famous Sichuan dishes, is exciting and rich.Face Changing is the highlight of Sichuan Opera.It is said that ancient people painted their faces to drive away wild animals.Sichuan Opera absorbs this ancient skill and perfects it into an art.Face Changing is a magical art.Actors change more than 10 masks in less than 20 seconds.By raising the hand, swinging a sleeve or tossing the head, an actor uses different masks to show different emotions, expressing invisible and intangible feelings through visible and tangible masks.7 长城作为世界上最伟大的奇观之一，是古代中国在不同时期为抵御北方游牧民族（nomadic tribe）侵袭而修筑的规模浩大的军事工程的统称。如同巨龙一般，长城自东向西绵延8 800多公里。距今已有2 000多年历史的万里长城很多地方已经变成了废墟，但是它仍然是世界上最具吸引力的地方。1987年，长城被联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）列为世界文化遗产。The Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders in the world, is the general name of a series of largescale military constructions during different periods in ancient China, hoped for the defense against the invasion of nomadic tribes from the north.Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall stretches over 8 800 kilometers from east to west of China.With a history of more than 2 000 years, many sections of the Great Wall have been in ruins now.However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the world.In 1987, the Great Wall was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.8 光棍节，又称“双十一”，最初是由大学生发起的单身人士的情人节，现在已经从最初的庆祝单身变成了中国人的一个网购狂欢节。过去六年里，中国的电商（ecommerce）巨头们开始利用这一商机，通过打折促销吸引顾客，提高销售收入。天猫(Tmall.com)双十一一天的销售额从2009年的5 000万飙升至2013年的350亿。邮政部门（the State Post Bureau）表示由于准备充分，尽管订单增加，快递业务仍然运行正常。

Singles Day, also named the Double 11 Day, which originated with college students as an alternative to Valentines Day for single people, now has transformed its original function as a day of celebration for the great unloved into a day of crazy online shopping for the Chinese people.Over the past six years, Singles Day has been taken advantage of by Chinese ecommerce giants by offering discounts and launching sales campaigns on that day to attract customers and boost sales income.Sales at Tmall.com on Singles Day have snowballed from 50 million yuan in 2009 to 35 billion yuan in 2013.The State Post Bureau said that thanks to adequate preparation, express deliveries were running on schedule despite the increase in orders.9 对于中国人来说，“面子”十分重要，它指的是一个人根源于自尊的名誉观。大部分中国人都认为，有面子是最重要的事情之一，丢面子则会带来巨大的痛苦。因此，人们必须了解并遵守面子规则，如果违反就会受到严厉的惩罚。然而，有时候一个人丢面子不仅仅是因为他们的行为不符合社会的要求，还可能是由于别人的行为没有符合他个人的期待。

Face is immensely important for the Chinese.It can be defined as a notion of ones reputation rooted in selfesteem.Most of the Chinese people believe that to have face is one of the most valued things, while to lose face is a cause of great anguish.Thus, people are expected to know and abide by the rules of face and are penalized harshly if they break them.However, sometimes a person could lose face not only because of his failure to match up to societys obligations on him, but also from the failure of others to act in accordance with his expectations of them.武术在我国源远流长，是中国传统文化的瑰宝(gem)。我们知道，一个民族的优秀文化遗产不仅仅属于一个民族，它会逐渐传播到世界的其他地方而成为人类的共同财富。为了更好地推广武术，使其与奥运项目接轨，中国武协和国际武联(the Chinese Wushu Association and the International Wushu Federation)做了艰苦卓绝的工作。现在武术已被列为一种与保龄球(bowling)和国际标准舞(international standard dance)有同等地位的奥运表演项目。

With a long history in China, wushu is a gem of Chinese traditional culture.As we all know, the excellent cultural heritage of a nation doesnt belong to the nation alone but will be spread to the rest of the world gradually to be shared by all humanity.The Chinese Wushu Association and the International Wushu Federation have been working very hard to popularize wushu and move it closer to the Olympic events.Now, wushu has been accepted as an Olympic demonstration event with the same status as bowling and international standard dance.11 旗袍(Qipao)是中国独特的传统服饰。旗袍原本是满族(Manchu)妇女的服装，穿在身上非常宽松，直上直下，中间没有腰线。后来一些汉族的女性对这种服饰进行了改造，使它更加合身、性感。20世纪20年代，旗袍在上海的女学生中变得非常流行。旗袍一般是由丝绸制成，领口、袖口和腋襟上都绣有精细的花边。旗袍体现了中国女性的端庄、温柔和美丽。

Qipao is a unique kind of traditional Chinese attire.Originally worn by Manchu women, Qipao fitted loosely and hung straight down the body with no waistlines.And then some Han Chinese ladies carried out some improvements on the design, making it more fitting and sexier.When it came to the 1920s, Qipao became very popular among the girl students in Shanghai.Qipao is usually made of silk, and embroidered with delicate laces at the neckline, cuffs and edges.Qipao embodies Chinese womens modesty, softness and beauty.中国石窟(grotto)主要反映的是佛教文化艺术。敦煌莫高窟、大同云冈石窟、洛阳龙门石窟、天水麦积山石窟，号称中国四大石窟艺术景观。佛教石窟随山雕凿、彩绘，形象生动自然，将崇高美(sublimity)与世俗情(secular feeling)融为一体，把天然造化与人工创造有机结合，是由建筑、绘画、雕塑等组成的博大精深、绚丽夺目的综合艺术殿堂。其艺术成就为世界所瞩目，已成为重要的世界文化遗产。

Chinese grottoes mainly reflect the art of Buddhist culture.In China, there are four major art landscapes of grottoes: the Mogao Grottoes at Dunhuang, the Yungang Grottoes at Datong, the Longmen Grottoes at Luoyang, and the Maijishan Grottoes at Tianshui.Carved and painted on mountains, the Buddhist grottoes mingle both sublimity and secular feelings together, presenting us a vivid and natural appearance.They embody the systematic combination of both the exceptional artistry of great nature and the extremely fine craftsmanship of mankind.The Chinese Buddhist grottoes are regarded as a profound and stunning general art gallery, displaying the art of architecture, painting, sculptures and etc.The artistic achievements of Chinese grottoes have attracted the attention of the world, and have become an important international cultural heritage.13 中国古典文学包括诗歌、散文、小说及词(ci)、赋(fu)、曲(qu)等多种文体，艺术表现手法丰富各异。小说历史悠久，并在明清时期达到巅峰。小说中的《三国演义》《水浒传》《西游记》《红楼梦》被称为中国四大古典文学名著，至今在国内外都有着广泛而深远的影响。研读四大名著能够了解中国传统人文社会、民俗，是汲取古代文明精粹、处世为人策略与智慧的重要途径。

Located in central Shandong Province, Mount Tai covers 426 square kilometers with its highest peak, the Jade Emperor Peak, reaching about 1 545 meters above sea level.Mount Tai earns a reputation for its imposing natural scenery festooned with a chain of temples, stone tablets and stone inscriptions.As the first of the “Five Great Mountains” in China, Mount Tai is revered both in Buddhism and Taoism.Many emperors in China visited it to hold the Heaven Worship ceremony.Traditional belief maintains that each day begins with the sun rising at Mount Tai, thus thousands of sun worshipers climbed it from as early as midnight in order to appreciate sunrise at its peak.中国古代四大艺术中的“画”特指国画。其绘画形式是用毛笔蘸墨、颜料作画于绢或宣纸之上，古代称之为水墨丹青(inkpainting)。为区别于西方的油画而称之为中国画，简称“国画”。其题材有人物、山水、花鸟等。技法可分为工笔(fine brushwork)和写意(freehand brushwork)。国画的艺术特质在于“笔墨”，强调以形写神，画尽意在。国画在艺术创作上反映了中华民族的审美意识和情趣。

Painting in the four art forms in ancient China particularly refers to traditional Chinese painting.Traditional Chinese painting is done with a brush dipped into black or colored ink and is painted on spun silk or xuan paper.In ancient China, it was called inkpainting.In order to distinguish it from Western oilpaintings, the Chinese people term their works “Chinese painting”, short for traditional Chinese painting.The subject matters of Chinese paintings are typically figures, landscapes, birds and flowers.The drawing skills and techniques employed by the Chinese painters can be divided into two forms: fine brushwork and freehand brushwork.The artistic characteristics of Chinese painting lie in “the writing brush and ink”.Chinese painting emphasizes using the shape to convey the feelings of the painter.Even though a painting is a finished product, it endlessly conveys a meaning.In terms of the artistic creation, Chinese painting is a reflection of the aesthetic consciousness and artistic sentiment of the Chinese people.16 瓷器(porcelain)是中国最为重要的手工艺品之一。中国瓷器有3 500多年的历史，明清时期尤其繁荣。瓷器不仅可以用作日常餐具(dinnerware)、花瓶等，精美的瓷器更是常常被人们用来装饰家居。作为高档艺术品的象征，真品瓷器常常具有极高的艺术价值和经济价值，因此，常被很多人视为珍藏品。中国瓷器受到各国人民的欢迎，经常被用作表达中外友谊的礼物。Porcelains are one of Chinas most important handicrafts.Chinese porcelains have a history of more than 3 500 years, their most prosperous period being Ming and Qing Dynasties.Porcelains can be used as daily dinnerware and vases, and delicate porcelains are even commonly used for home decorations by people.As the symbols of highend works of art, authentic porcelains are often of extremely high artistic and economic value and therefore they are often regarded as precious collections by many people.Chinese porcelains are popular with people around the world, and they are often used as presents for expressing friendship between Chinese and foreign people.17 酒是中国人生活中的重要饮品之一。中国制酒源远流长，享誉中外。在中国最具有代表性的酒莫过于白酒(liquor)了，从某种角度上来说，中国的酒文化就是白酒文化。酒在中国人眼里更多的是一种交际的工具。酒在中国人生活中占有重要的位置，渗透于(permeate)整个中华五千年的文明史中，包括文学创作、娱乐、烹饪、养生保健等各方面。

Alcohol is one of the important drinks in Chinese peoples life.Chinese alcoholmaking has a long history and has been renowned at home and abroad.In China, no alcohol is more representative than Chinese liquor and at some point, Chinese alcohol culture is Chinese liquor culture.Alcohol is more of a communication tool in Chinese peoples eyes.Alcohol has permeated 5 000 years civilization of the whole Chinese history, which plays an important role in every aspect of Chinese peoples life, from literary creation and entertainment to cooking and health preservation.18 11月11日由四个1构成，因此每年此日就是光棍节(Singles Day)。20世纪90年代，南京众多大学首先开始庆祝光棍节。正如其名，这个新节日是专门为单身人士设立的。近年来，中国成为世界上互联网用户最多的国家，而单身人士是网购的主力军(main force)，许多电子商务平台(platform)就在光棍节当天开展促销活动以吸引中国不计其数的单身人士前来购物。目前，光棍节已成为中国人疯狂网购的日子。

Singles Day falls on every November 11th because the date is comprised of four “ones”.It was initially celebrated at many universities in Nanjing during the 1990s.As the name indicates, this new holiday is one exclusively for people who are still living a single life.In recent years, as China has become a country with the worlds biggest population of Internet users and the single people are the main force of Chinas online spending power, many ecommerce platforms launch promotion campaigns on the day in order to attract countless single people around China to their websites.Singles Day has become a day of crazy online shopping among the Chinese now.19 随着城市化(urbanization)进程的加快，越来越多的农民工(migrant worker)在城市里安顿下来。他们把子女接到城里来，希望孩子能接受到更好的教育。然而，这些农民工发现现实并不像他们预期的那么美好。城市公立学校的设施和师资远远不能满足大批农民工子女的需求。幸运的是，农民工子女的教育已成为政府议事日程上优先处理的问题。

With the acceleration of urbanization, an increasing number of migrant workers settle down in the cities.They bring their children along with them to the cities, with the hope of their children receiving better education.However, the migrants find the reality is not as promising as theyve expected.The facilities and faculties in the urban public schools are far from enough to meet the needs of the big group of migrant children.Luckily, the education problem of the migrant children has become a priority on the governments agenda.20 杭州市拥有世界上最大的公用自行车系统(bike sharing system)。目前杭州市共有2 700个公用自行车租赁站点，共计66 500辆车。计划至2020年，公共自行车的数量将增至175 000辆。租用自行车需要智能卡(smart card)，可在任意站点租车、在任意站点还车。租车骑行1小时内免费，1小时以上则按每小时1元收费。公用自行车系统对缓解杭州市的交通拥堵(congestion)起到了很大的作用。
