2.话幸福

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on

happiness by referring to the saying “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” You can cite examples to illustrate your points and then explain how you can develop your ability to deal with problem and be happy, you should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参考范文】1

To solve problem, to taste happiness

“What is happiness?” is a cliché topic.Everyone has a different definition to the true meaning of happiness.For Franklin Roosevelt, “happiness is not the mere

possession of money;it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.” For Elbert Einstein, “if you want to live in a happy life, tie it to the goal, not the people or the things.” Although the two great men grant different definitions to happiness, there is something in common, that is, happiness derives from the capacity to solve problems.I believe that this is true.There is no denying that life is full of problems.Let’s take environmental

pollution for example.Pollution poses a great threat to our existence.Fortunately, this public hazard has drawn our greatly attention and many effective measures are being taking to solve it.In fact, now the public are benefiting more and more from pollution prevention and control.We can enjoy clear air, health food and beautiful scenes again.Isn’t this happiness?

All in all, indeed, equipped with the ability to cope with problems should suppose to be happiness.In other worlds, in the middle of problems lies happiness.【参考范文】2

Happiness, as the saying has it, is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.In other words, people can never be happy if they focus on their difficulties and challenges.Simple as the remark may sound, it conveys a

thought-provoking notion that happiness is a state of mind not an absence of problems.First and foremost, it is well known that in order to be a strong individual, one needs obstacles to develop one’s strength, just like butterflies which struggle to be free of their cocoon in order for their wings to become strong enough to fly.Furthermore, just because people have a disadvantaged childhood, it does not mean they cannot be successful.Steve Jobs is a case in point.He was abandoned by his biological parents and dropped out of university but still managed to change the world.To conclude, as the saying goes “You cannot run away from your problems.There is not a place far enough away.” Consequently, it is advisable for everyone to have a positive attitude toward their problems if they really want to be happy.3.信息爆炸

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay about the impact of information explosion by referring to the saying “a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”.You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.【参考范文】1

Ways to Get Over Information Explosion

As a famous saying goes, “A wealth of information creates a poverty of

attention”.Nowadays we are in the Information Age.Some people keep complaining about distraction by the information explosion.Admittedly, the new information age has brought us so much convenience that we are allowed to get enough information just with a simple click sitting in front of the computers.Nevertheless, we are also confused, annoyed, distracted and upset by an incredibly large quantity of information.For example, when searching for something online, people are easily carried away by irrelevant information and forget their original plan.Besides, some information often turns out to be useless and actually advertisement.Therefore, it can be time-consuming and troublesome to search information online.Then what we can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? Here I have some useful tips: Firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching.This will help you to refuse some appealing, yet irrelevant information.Secondly, find some trustful and professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them.In this case, you can easily leave some ads and useless information behind.二、段落翻译

-+ 懒惰是很奇怪的东西，它使你以为那是安逸，是休息，是福气；但实际上它所给你的是无聊，是倦怠，是消沉;它剥夺你对前途的希望，割断你和别人之间的友情，使你心胸日渐狭窄，对人生也越来越怀疑。

英语六级翻译指导及练习

翻译策略

1)分句法

把原文中一个单词或短语译成句子，使原文的一个句子分译成两个或两个以上的句子。或干脆把原文的一个句子拆开，译成两个或两个以上的句子。

例1 八月中旬，修理组人员在骄阳下工作。

译文: It was in mid-August,and the repair section operated under the blazing sun.(一个单句拆分成了一个并列复合句)

例2 他为人单纯而坦率。

译文: He was very clean.His mind was open.(一个单句拆分成两个简单句了)

例3 The mother might have spoken with understandable pride of her child.译文: 母亲谈到她的孩子时，也许有自豪感，这是可以理解的。(形容词被拆开)

例4 I wrote four books in the first three years ,a record never touched before.译文: 我头三年写了四本书，打破了以往的记录。(名词短语拆开)

2)合句法

把原文中两个或以上的简单句，主从复合句或并列复合句等译成一个单句。

例5 她已试了好几次，要帮他们另找一所出租的房子，结果并未成功。

译文:She had made several attempts to help them find other rental quarters without success.(多个简单句合成一个单句)

例6 他们有遵守交通规则，机器出了故障。

译文：His failure to observe the safety regulations resulted in an accident to the

machinery.(并列复合句合成一个单句)

例7 When we praise the Chinese leadership and the people, we are not merely being polite.译文：我们对中国领导人和中国人民的赞扬不仅仅是出于礼貌。(主从复合句合成一个单句)

翻译练习

1._______________(通过体育锻炼)，we can always stay healthy.2.According to the scientific research , _____________(听音乐能使我们放松).Is this really true?

3.______________(我们绝对不能)ignore the value of knowledge.4.As is known to all, ______________(假冒伪劣商品)harm the interests of consumers.5.Faced with failure,some people can stand up to it, _____________(从失败中汲取教训)and try hard to fulfill what they are determined to do.答案及解析

1.By taking exercises

解析：通过锻炼，我们可以保持健康。其实这题答案不止一个。“锻炼”可以用名词也可以用动词短语。“通过”可以用by表示方式，through表示途径。By taking exercises /Through exercises。往往by用于“by + doing”，而through后接名词哦。

2.listening to music enables us to feel relaxed

解析：“听音乐”在句中作主语，“听”应当处理成动名词形式。“能使我们放松”很多同学会采用 can make us feel relaxed的结构。其实，enable就有“能够使某人„„”的含义，注意enable sb.to do 的表达。

3.On no account can we

解析：本题是强调语气，强调“决不能”，所以联想到on no account ,by no means,at no time,in no case等。不管用哪一个，都要注意它们是含有否定的意味的，因此在置于句首时应使用倒装语序。

4.fake and inferior commodities

解析：“假冒伪劣商品”包含两层含义：一是假货，二是次品，在翻译成英文的时候应

该注意两层含义的正确译法。“假冒”不能用false而应选择fake，“次品”可以说inferior表示质量差，也可以用commodity of low quality。

5.draw useful lessons from it

解析：句意为：面对失败，有的人能够顽强抵抗，从中吸取教训，努力实现他们的目标。本句由三个并列的谓语成分构成，谓语动词分别是stand up to“汲取”和try。“汲取教训”正确表达为draw a lesson from。然而我们又能从全句判断，从失败中吸取教训是为了将来能够更好地实现目标，因此加上修饰语useful，使内容更明确。

Why Do People Like to Buy Lotteries?

Nowadays, there exist all kinds of lotteries in our society, such as welfare lottery, sports lottery, computer lottery, and so forth.Anyone, whether men or women, the young or the old, may buy lottery tickets.But why do so many people like buying them?

The following reasons can account for the popularity of lotteries.First of all, most people are trying their luck on lottery tickets.They have a long-cherished dream of making big money overnight.In addition, there are some people who want to make donation to public welfare by buying lottery tickets.Besides, some people buy them just for fun.As far as I am concerned, there are some risks in buying lotteries.People never should count on making big money by buying lotteries.Furthermore, lotteries to some extent are similar to gambling, so people should not spend too much money and energy on them.In a word, people should keep a clear head when buying lotteries.热点作文2 1)现在很多漂亮的女孩子尽管没有很强的能力仍能找到很好的工作，因此一些人得出结论说外貌比能力更重要 2)你是否同意?给出你的理由 【参考范文】

Is Good Appearance More Important than Capability?

Old people often tell the young, “Don’t judge a person by his appearance”, meaning capability is more important than appearance.However, nowadays, with more interviewers putting emphasis on looks and the appearance of the applicants, a lot of people come to the conclusion that appearance is more important than capability.As for me, I can’t agree with this argument.Good appearance is pleasant, but capability is more important, because it demonstrates one’s self-cultivation and practical values.It shows the efforts and the glory of acquiring something through one’s hard work whereas good looks bespeak no struggle of the individual.Besides, maybe sometimes a beautiful face can help a girl acquire a good position, but in the long run it is her talent not her look that really works in her career development.Therefore, those without good appearance needn’t feel depressed because one’s success depends on his capability;those with good appearance have to work hard since good appearance cannot bring a person final success.热点作文3 1)随着互联网的普及和应用，网络犯罪开始摆在世人面前

端午节可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。2009年，端午节被联合国教科文组织宣布为非物质文化遗产。

译文内容：

The Dragon Boat Festival can date back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C.The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor.Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river.Townspeople

jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him.Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice into the water.Over the years, the story of Qu’s death transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi—a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves.The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival was proclaimed an intangible cultural heritage by the United Nations’ Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO)in 2009.中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，人口约占世界总人口的22%。在过去相当长的时期里，由于诸多原因,贫困一直困扰着中国。20世纪80年代中期，中国农村绝大多数地区凭借自身的发展优势，经济得到快速增长，但少数地区由于经济、社会、历史、自然等方面的制约，发展相对滞后。中国政府在致力于经济和社会全面发展的进程中，在全国范围内实施了以解决贫困人口温饱问题为主要目标的有计划、有组织的大规模扶贫开发，极大地缓解了贫困现象。

China is the largest developing country in the world and its population accounts for about 22 percent of the world’s total.For a long period of its history, China has been plagued by poverty for various reasons.In the mid-1980s, the economy of an

overwhelming majority of the rural areas in China grew dramatically by virtue of their own advantages, but a small number of areas still lagged behind because of the constraints of their economic, social, historical, and natural conditions.The Chinese government, while working on all-round economic and social development, has

nationwide implemented a large-scale program for development-oriented poverty relief in a planned and organized way.With the main objective of helping

poverty-stricken people solve the food and clothing problems, this program has gone a long way toward alleviating poverty.1.发展中国家：英语中对应的表达为developing country，该句结构简单，直译即可。2.人口约占世界总人口的……：此句紧接上文，和前面一个分句共享一个主语China，为了指代清楚并且避免重复，此处的“人口”可译为its population。表达“(数量、比例上)占”有一个常用的词组account for。“世界总人口”如果直译的话是the world’s total population或者the total population of the world，但是由于该分句的主语中已经出现了一次population,故此处可将total活用作名词，意为“总数”。

3.在过去相当长的时期里：该分句如果直译的话可译为for a long time in the past，但是根据语境，此处“相当长的时期”指的是“中国历史中的一个很长的时期”，又由于该分句所在句的主语随后紧接着出现，因而可以意译为for a long period of its history。

4.由于诸多原因：此处较为简单，可以有多种译法。“由于”可以用because of, due to, out of来表达，也可以用一个简洁的单词for。“诸多”的表达方式也有很多，如many, various, a lot of, lots of等。因而该分句可简洁地译为for various reasons。

5.贫困一直困扰着……：表达“被贫困所困扰”较为常用的译法是be plagued by，由于此处表达的是过去已经发生并且其影响持续到现在的一种状态，因而注意时态要采用现在完成时。此处可译为…has been plagued by poverty。

6.20世纪80年代中期……发展相对滞后：该句较长，翻译时要注意平衡句子的结构。“经济发展较快”中的“经济”指的是“中国农村绝大多数地区的经济”，在翻译时可以照此调整一下句子的语序。“滞后”常用lag behind 来表达。

7.中国政府在致力于……缓解了贫困现象：该句内容较多，翻译时可以根据语义将该长句拆分成两个独立的句子，即：“中国政府在致力于经济和社会全面发展的进程中，在全国范围内实施了有计划、有组织的大规模扶贫开发。扶贫开发以解决贫困人口的温饱问题为主要目标，极大地缓解了贫困现象。” “致力于”可以用短语work on来表达。“扶贫开发”实际上是一个项目，因而可灵活译为a program for development oriented poverty relief。

中国搏击术是对源于中国的各种搏击技艺的总称。俗称功夫或者武术。但“功夫”和“武术”在内涵上也有一定差别，两个词既体现了不同的搏击技艺传承，也可分别在搏击术之外的语境中单独使用。功夫一般指个人修炼的技艺或技能，而“武术”是指代搏击术时更实用的一个词。武术还可以指一种类似体操的现代体育运动，包括空手和器械套路表演，可以用一套现代美学标准打分评判。

Chinese martial arts describes the enormous variety of martial arts styles originating in

China.Kung fu and wushu are popular terms that have become synonymous with Chinese martial arts.However, the Chinese terms kung fu(Chinese : 功 夫 pinyin : gōngfū)and wushu

(traditional Chinese : 武术;simplified Chinese : 武术)have very distinct connotations.Each term can describe different martial arts traditions and can also be used in a context without

referencing martial arts.Colloquially, kung fu(or gong fu)alludes to any individual

accomplishment or cultivated skill.colloquially。In contrast, wushu is a more precise term that refers to general martial activities.The term wushu has also become the name for a modern sport similar to gymnastics involving the performance of adapted Chinese bare-handed and weapons forms(tàolù 套路)judged to a set of contemporary aesthetic criteria for points.同其他国家文化一样，在中国，无论是在餐馆还是在家，用餐时也有很多禁忌。适当了解一些中国的餐桌礼仪，不仅能让你更加入乡随俗，融入其中，而且能让别人注意到你，而不是你特别的用餐习惯。

有些餐桌礼仪是随着传统延续下来的，是决不能违反的。如果不了解这些餐桌礼仪并且破坏了这些规矩，到时可能得罪厨师，扫兴而归哦。

In China, as with any culture, there are rules and customs that surround what is appropriate and what is not when dining, whether it is in a restaurant or in someone’s home.Learning the appropriate way to act and what to say will not only help you feel like a native, but will also make those around you more comfortable, and able to focus on you, instead of your interesting eating habits.The customs surrounding Chinese tables’ manners is ingrained with tradition, and some rules are not to be broken.Failing to understand and follow all of the rules could result in offending the chef and ending the night in an unfavorable way.范文一： Happiness – Go for it

In this long journey we call “life”, everybody is in pursuit of happiness and has their

own interpretation of happiness.An inspiring idea is that happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them, which reveals the very truth about happiness.It cannot be achieved through waiting, but only through striving.There is no way that life always progresses as we wish.Problems may occur and we find ourselves in trouble, but it doesn't mean we are deprived of happiness.There are numerous examples for us to follow: disabled people overcoming obstacles, patients fighting against disease, poverty-stricken people achieving their dreams--all these inspiring heroes.Their lives are definitely not problem-free, but they have found happiness by courageously solving problems.Therefore, it is essential to develop the ability to deal with problems.We need to muster our courage and confidence to face the fact.Meanwhile, we need to find effective ways to cope with them.In a word, if we stay strong and approach problems effectively, there will be no storm in life that we cannot weather.And after the storm, happiness is within our reach.范文二： Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay

commenting on the remark “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to make your life more meaningful.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.How to Live a Meaning Life

Among all the highlighted topics, there is “how to live a meaning life?” Everyone has his or her own opinion.As the saying has it, “the greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” I cannot agree any more.If our life is just to pursue something for ourselves, we will surely feel fruitless and

meaningless when we grow old.From Steve Jobs’s bibliography, we can get that the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.Steve Jobs has brought a

great many changes to our world.His life, although short, definitely outlast.That’s a life worth living.Therefore, if there is a way to make my life meaningful, it should be to find something I’m interested in and also helpful to others or the whole society.Only in this way can I keep my passion throughout my life until I finally fulfil my life.范文三： For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay aboutthe impact of information explosion by referring to the saying “a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”.You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information?
