Here are some of the sample passages for C-E translation.Please have a close study of the sentence structures and word choices.Passage 1 刺繡（embroidery）是中國的民間傳統(tǒng)手藝之一，有超過兩千年的歷史。刺繡就是用針線在織物上繡上（embroider）各種裝飾的圖案。中國刺繡與養(yǎng)蠶業(yè)（sericulture）緊密相連，中國是世界上最早使用蠶絲的國家。刺繡的用途主要包括生活和藝術(shù)裝飾，如服裝、床上用品（bedclothes）、臺布和舞臺裝飾。刺繡在國外也享有很高的聲譽，是中國文化的杰出代表之一。

參考譯文：

參考譯文：

The Great Wall of China is a great project in ancient China constructed to defend against the attacks of enemies.It locates in the northern part of China and stretches for 8,851.8 kilometers.First built in the Spring and Autumn Period over 2,000 years ago, it was united to become “the Wall of 10,000 li” after Qin Shi Huang united China.The Han and Ming Dynasties saw extensive rebuildings and maintenance of the Great Wall.Thus it is an ancient project which consumed the longest time in the world.As/Being one of the greatest constructions in the history of human civilization, the Great Wall has been listed as one of the Eight Wonders of the world and a world cultural heritage.Passage 7 公務(wù)員熱(craze for civil servant jobs)是指越來越多的人參加政府機構(gòu)的招聘考試(recruitment examinations)的社會現(xiàn)象。據(jù)報道，近幾年每年的報考人數(shù)都超過百萬，平均每個崗位有50-60名競爭者，最熱門的職位能達(dá)到5000:1。報考公務(wù)員的主要是大學(xué)畢業(yè)生。他們認(rèn)為公務(wù)員工作輕松穩(wěn)定，收入較高，社會地位也高。另外，就業(yè)難問題也是促使他們做出該選擇的另一個原因。

參考譯文： The craze for civil servant jobs refers to the social phenomenon that an increasing number of Chinese take part in recruitment examinations of government institutions.It is reported that the number of registered applicants each year is over one million, with 50-60 candidates competing for one vacancy on average.The ratio of the hottest position can arrive at 5000:1.The registered applicants are mainly university graduates.They think the civil servant jobs are rather easy and stable with high income and social status.In addition, another reason for their choice is the difficulty in finding jobs.Passage 8 學(xué)校教育給我們的好處不但只是灌輸知識，最大的好處還在給與我們求友的機會上。這好處我到了離校以后才知道，這幾年來更確切地體會到，深悔當(dāng)時毫不自覺，馬馬虎虎地就過去了。進(jìn)來每日早晚在路上見到兩兩三三的攜著書包、攜了手或挽了肩膀走著的青年學(xué)生，我總艷羨他們有朋友之樂，暗暗地要在心中替他們祝福。

參考譯文：

The imparting of knowledge is not the sole advantage of school education.Its greatest advantage is perhaps the opportunity it affords us for making friends.It was not until I had already left school that I began to realize this advantage.And in recent years I have come to understand it even more deeply.I much regret having carelessly frittered away my school days without making many friends.Recently, every morning and evening, whenever I see school kids with satchels walking in twos and threes, hand in hand or shoulder to shoulder, I always envy them for enjoying happy friendship, and inwardly offer them my best wishes.Passage 9 筷子起源于中國，大多數(shù)是用木頭或者竹子制作的。最早的筷子是用骨頭或者玉(jade)制成的。在春秋時期有出現(xiàn)了銅制和鐵制的筷子。在古代，富裕人家用玉或金子做筷子，以顯示富有。很多帝王使用銀制的筷子檢查飲食是否被投毒?？曜釉趥鹘y(tǒng)上還是新娘的嫁妝(dowry)，因為“筷子”的漢語讀音聽起來很像“快得兒子”。

參考譯文：

Chopsticks, which originated in China, are mainly made of wood or bamboo.The earliest chopsticks were made of bone or jade.During the Spring and Autumn Period, copper and iron chopsticks came into being.In ancient times, the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth, while many emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned.Chopsticks are traditionally placed in brides’ dowries, too, for the pronunciation of “chopsticks” in Chinese sounds quite like “get a son soon”.Passage 10 孔子學(xué)院(Confucius Institute)是中國在世界各地設(shè)立的教育和文化交流機構(gòu)。推廣漢語、傳播中國文化是設(shè)立該機構(gòu)的目的?？鬃訉W(xué)院最重要的一項工作就是給世界各地的漢語學(xué)習(xí)者提供標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的教材以及正規(guī)的漢語學(xué)習(xí)渠道。全國首家孔子學(xué)院于2004年在韓國首爾(Seoul)成立，目前遍布106個國家?？鬃訉W(xué)院有力地推動了中國文化與各國文化的交流與融合(integration)。

參考譯文：

Confucius Institute is an institution of education and cultural communication established by China all over the world.Its aim is to promote Chinese language and spread Chinese culture.The most important task of Confucius Institute is to provide standard textbooks and a formal channel to learn Chinese for learners all over the world.The first Confucius Institute opened in 2004 in Seoul, South Korea.At present, it has been established in 106 countries.Confucius Institute has greatly promoted the exchange and integration of cultures between China and the rest of the world.Passage 11 一個人的生命有多大意義，這有什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)可以衡量嗎？提出一個絕對的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)當(dāng)然很困難；但是，大體看一個人對待生命的態(tài)度是否嚴(yán)肅認(rèn)真，看他對待工作、生活的態(tài)度如何，也就不難對這個人的存在意義做出適當(dāng)?shù)墓烙嬃恕?/p>

古來一切又成就的人，都很嚴(yán)肅地對待自己的生命，當(dāng)他活著一天，他總是盡量多工作、多學(xué)習(xí)，不肯虛度年華，不讓時間白白地浪費掉。我國歷代的勞動人民以及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。

參考譯文：

What is the significance of life? Are there any criteria for its measurement? Difficult as it is to advance an absolute standard, it is not so hard to form a sound evaluation of the very meaning of a person’s existence by roughly judging his attitude towards life, work and so on.Throughout the age, all people of accomplishment took their lives seriously.As long as they are alive, they devoted themselves to more work and study and would not let a single minute slip by in vain.And the same is true of the common laboring people as well as the great statesmen and thinkers in our country over the centuries.Passage 12 “跳竹竿”原是黎族一種古老的祭祀方式。數(shù)百年前，當(dāng)黎家人經(jīng)過辛勤耕作換得新谷歸倉時，村里男女老少就會穿上節(jié)日盛裝，家家戶戶炊制新米飯，釀制糯米酒，宰殺禽畜，祭祀祖宗和神靈。酒酣飯飽后，眾人就會來到山坡上，點燃篝火，跳起竹竿舞。竹聲叮咚，慶祝稻谷豐登，祝愿來年有更好的收成?！疤窀汀泵磕陱拈_春之日起，直至元宵，幾乎夜夜篝火通明，歡跳不息，熱烈氣氛充溢著山坡村寨。

參考譯文：

The bamboo dance originates from Yi People’s memorial ceremonies for their ancestors several hundred years ago.They used to have a grand celebration for a bumper harvest, when they would dress themselves in bright clothes, cook newly collected rice, brew glutinous rice wine and kill domestic fowl and animals as offering for gods and their forefathers.After a big dinner, they would gather at mountain slopes for the bamboo dance.Around the bonfires and at the rhythmic and musical sound of the bamboo poles knocking, they danced merrily and anticipated another good harvest the following year.The game starting on the first day of spring would last fifteen days till Lantern Festival.During the period the villages, lit up with bonfires every evening with people dancing, were immersed in a festival atmosphere.

第三篇：大學(xué)英語四六級短文改錯

Until the very latest moment of his existence, man has been bound to the planet on which he originated and

developed.Now he had the capability to leave that planet ___1___ and move out into the universe to those worlds which he has

known previously only directly.Men have explored parts of ___2___ the moon, put spaceships in orbit around another planet and

possibly within the decade will land into another planet and ___3___ explore it.Can we be too bold as to suggest that we may be ___4___ able to colonize other planet within the not—too—distant ___5___ future? Some have advocated such a procedure as a solution to the population problem.ship the excess people off to the

moon.But we must keep in head the billions of dollars we ___6___ might spend in carrying out the project.To maintain the earth’s population at its present level.we would have to blast off into space 7,500 people every hour of every day of the year.Why are we spending so little money on space ___7___ exploration? Consider the great need for improving many ___8___ aspects of the global environment, one is surely justified in

his concern for the money and resources that they are poured ___9___ into the space exploration efforts.But perhaps we should look at both sides of the coin before arriving hasty conclusions.___10___

答案：

1.had-> has

2.directly-> indirectly 3.into->onto / on 4.too-> so 5.planet-> planets 6.head-> mind 7.little-> much 8.Consider-> Considering 9.they-> / 10.arriving 后加at 或 arriving-> reaching

考點例析：

例1： If his aim is inaccurate and he scores a goal, enjoys S3.____ the hunter’s triumph of killing his prey.解析：這是由一個條件狀語從句引導(dǎo)的復(fù)合句。但主句只有謂語動詞enjoys，缺少主語，因此要步上主語。根據(jù)從句的his aim可推斷應(yīng)該加上主語he。

例2：Nuclear physicists who interested in the structure of 5._________ atoms cannot observe protons, electrons and neutrons

directly.解析：如果將who后面的部分作定語從句，那么它絕少謂語，故將who去掉，此時分詞短語interested in直接作定語修飾前面的physicists?；蛟趙ho后加are，補全定語從句。

例3：This alliance guarantees that all leprosy patients, even they S6.______ are poor, have a right to the most modern treatment.解析：even是副詞，后面不能直接跟句子，根據(jù)句子的意思，應(yīng)該在even后加if或though。

鞏固與拓展

1.A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training

to become a performer a medical student needs to become __________ a doctor.2.This trip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub:

The Tourists’ Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers’ code of

conduct for those want to sample “a central part of British ________ life and culture.3.When a new robot is introduced to a small suburban

factory, a Shinto priest is invited to inaugurate._________

4.Since the law made easier to get a divorce, the number of __________ divorces has increased.5.Another changehas been caused by the fact people are _______ living longer nowadays, and many old people live alone

following the death of their partners

鞏固與拓展：

1.在performer后加as

此處為同級比較，固定結(jié)構(gòu)為as...as...，而原句比較的對象a medical student前缺少連詞as。

2.want-> wanting或those后加who

for為介詞，后面的賓語時代詞those，不可再跟主謂結(jié)構(gòu)。故將want改為wanting，用現(xiàn)在分詞短語作定語修飾those，或者在want前加who構(gòu)成定語從句修飾those.3.inaugurate后加it

4.made后加it

句子主語是law，謂語是made，easier是賓語補足語，邏輯賓語是to get a divorce，可見此句缺少形式賓語it.5.fact后加that

fact之后的部分是同位語從句，補充說明fact，其引導(dǎo)詞不能省略。

綜合訓(xùn)練

1.small-> smaller

該句后面有than，所以前面應(yīng)該是smaller。

Many peolpe than ever are drinking coffee these days--but in small 1.____ quantities than they used to.Some manufacturers of coffee makers are

trying to make advantage of this trend by developing diminutive machines 2.___ that brew（煮）smaller amounts of coffee.Two U.S appliance companies---Black&Decker, basing in Twson, Maryland, and Toastmaster Inc.3.___

of Columbia, Missouri---has recently introduce ”drip" Coffee makers that 4.____ brew one or two cup servings of coffee.Neither of the products brew the 5._____ coffee directly into a cup or mug, eliminating the need for a separate

carafe.Since many people make a pot of coffee in the morning and drink 6.____ only a single cup, the new cofee makers should reduce the wasted coffee.Black&Decker’s Cup-at-a-Time spends $27, while Toastmaster’s Coffee 7.___ Break retails for $20.Black&Decker also makes a coffee maker drips coffee directly into a 8.____ carry-around thermal carafe.The carafe, a glass vacuum bottle, is supposed to keep the coffee fresh for hours.The product, called the Thermal Carafe coffee-maker, comes with a built-in lid that opens during the brewing

process, closes when it is completed.There are several models, including 9.____ one that firs under the counter, ranging from $60 to $110 at price.10

1.small-> smaller

該句后面有than，所以前面應(yīng)該是smaller。

2.make-> take

take advantage of 為固定搭配，意思為“利用”，與其同樣意思的詞組還有make use of。

3.basing-> based

base和它的邏輯主語是被動關(guān)系。be based on sth 以什么為基礎(chǔ) base sth on sth …以…為基礎(chǔ)

what are you basing this theory on ?你這種理論的根據(jù)是什么？

4.has-> have

句子的主語是two US appliance companies, 謂語動詞要用復(fù)數(shù)。

做短文改錯先找句子主干：判斷時態(tài)，單復(fù)數(shù)

5.Neither-> Both

根據(jù)文章的中心觀點，這里時說兩種產(chǎn)品都如何。故要用both 先通讀全文，了解文意

6.and-> but

本句的意思應(yīng)該是：大部分人都是早上煮一壺咖啡 但卻只喝一小杯。并列句前后應(yīng)該是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

7.spends-> costs

spend的主語必須是人，此處主語是物，應(yīng)該用cost表示 “該物花費了多少”。

8.maker 后加that或which

一個句子在沒有連詞的情況下不能帶有兩個謂語，本句的謂語是makes，而drips和之后的部分應(yīng)該是定語從句修飾coffee maker，又由于先行詞在從句中作主語，所以引導(dǎo)詞不能省略。

9.closes前加and

在英語中，用逗號連接兩個獨立的主謂結(jié)構(gòu)是不對的，所以要在closes前加and。

10.at-> in

表示“在...方面”，使用介詞in．

1.有比較級than一定注意形容詞為比較級

A decade ago, Nancy did what so many Americans dream about.She quit an executive position and opened a house hold device store in her neighborhood.People like Nancy made the decision primarily for the improvement in the quality of their lives.But, to run a business on a small scale is by no means an easy job.Without her steady income, Nancy had to cut back on her daily expenses.Sometimes she did not even have the money to pay the premiums for the various kinds of insurance she needed.Fortunately, through her own hard work, she has now got through the most difficult time.She is determined to continue pursuing her vision of a better life.Unit 2 亨森獲得自由后就一心幫助逃亡奴隸。他幾次偷偷地從加拿大回到美國幫助其他奴隸通過地下鐵路獲得自由。有一次在逃跑時，亨森和幾個逃跑的奴隸被捕捉努力的人包圍。他將逃跑的奴隸喬裝打扮一番，成功的躲避了追捕，后來他在加拿大的德累斯頓為逃跑的奴隸建造了一個居住小區(qū)，并建造了教堂和學(xué)校。他始終堅信奴隸制終將被廢除，種族歧視消失的那一天一定會到來。

Shortly after he achieved freedom he became a member of an organization that assisted fugitive slaves.He secretly returned to the United States from Canada several times to help others to travel the Underground Railroad to freedom.Once some slave catchers closed in on the escaping slaves and Henson when they were on the run.He disguised them and successfully avoided capture.In addition, later he built a small settlement in Dresden in Canada for escaped slaves, setting up a chapel and a school where they could learn useful ways of making a living.He held to the conviction that slavery would be abolished, all the slaves would be liberated, and the day was bound to come when racial discrimination no longer existed.Unit 3 人們幾乎無法將蓄意行竊的盜賊拒之門外。所能做的只是設(shè)法阻攔他片刻，從而使其暴露在巡警面前。常識告訴我們，光照是犯罪行為的障礙物。家門口必須安裝一盞燈，并在晚間開著。如果你碰巧是最晚一個回家，別只關(guān)門而不上鎖。如果你決定購買精密的電子報警系統(tǒng)，別忘了索要報警器的標(biāo)志，并把它們張貼在窗戶和門上。此外，你還可以將報警系統(tǒng)連接到警署。

It is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out.All you can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around.Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity.A light should be fixed in the doorway and switched on at night.Make sure/assure yourself that you don’t leave the door on the latch if you happen to be the last to come in.If you decide to buy a sophiticated electronic alarm system, be sure to ask for its signs and put them up on both windows and doors.In addition you may have it hooked up to a police station.Unit 4 2005年最不尋常的事也許是聯(lián)合國宣布這一年為世界物理學(xué)年。這一年是愛因斯坦發(fā)表相對論100周年，也是他去世50周年。1905年，愛因斯坦發(fā)表了5篇科學(xué)史上非常重要的論文，從而使物理學(xué)發(fā)生了突破性進(jìn)展，他的偉大成就可歸之于他令人驚嘆的想象力、不斷的質(zhì)疑和對權(quán)威的漠視。毫無疑問，愛因斯坦是20世紀(jì)最偉大的科學(xué)家。

What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the United Nations declared it “The World Year of Physics”.It was the 100 th anniversary of Einstein’s theory of relativity and the 50 th anniversary of his death.In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics.His great achievement can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority.It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20 th century.Unit 5 在感恩節(jié)的氣氛中，喬治沉浸于閱讀他父親留給他的日記。他的父親在連續(xù)兩次完成環(huán)球旅行后在海上去世。這份日記使他回憶起自己與父親度過的每一刻以及父親為他所做的許多具體的事情。喬治的父親過去經(jīng)常向他強調(diào)必須經(jīng)歷各種艱難困苦去追求卓越。即使今天，他依然記得父親如何引用“懂得感激是高尚者的標(biāo)志”這句伊索名言來教導(dǎo)他要把懂得感激放在最重要的位置。

Amid the atmosphere of Thanksgiving George was immersed in the diary left to him by his father, who died at sea after he completed two successive trips around the world.The diary brought back every moment George had spent with his father and many of the specific things his father did on his behalf.George's father used to impress on him the need to undergo all kinds of hardship in quest of excellence.He also taught him that nothing in the world could be taken for granted.Even today, George still remembers how his father would quote Aesop's famous saying “Gratitude is the sign of noble souls” and tell him to accord the greatest importance to it.Unit 6 我們到處都能看到“搶眼”的藝術(shù)家。他們要么一年四季穿著破舊的牛仔褲；要么大冬天也打赤腳；要么飲酒過度；要么就是抱著創(chuàng)作一部杰作的幻想，實際上并不做任何創(chuàng)作的事。其實，他們中的很多人只不過是為了看上去像藝術(shù)家，或為了同其他的藝術(shù)家“保持一致”才這么做的。他們忘了，只有通過不懈的努力才能獲得成功。

Here and there we see young artists who stand out from other people.They may be in worn out jeans all the year round, or walk barefoot / in bare feet even in winter, or drink to excess, or cling to the fancy of creating a masterpiece without actually doing any creative work.In fact, many of them act like this just to look the part, or to be “in tune with” other artists.They have forgotten that only through persistent effort can one achieve success.Unit 7 湯姆生來跛足，有一條腿不管用。他很小的時候起就懂得，除非他努力擺脫自身的局限，他是無力謀生的；而除非他能獨立謀生，他就不可能得到他人的尊敬。這是他要贏得做人的尊嚴(yán)必須付出的代價。

湯姆申請過許多工作，都遭到拒絕，最后他找到一份為必勝客送披薩的工作。后來他又到一個沒有人想去的銷售區(qū)做一家運動服裝公司的銷售代表。現(xiàn)在，他在他的家鄉(xiāng)擁有一家頗為盈利的零售商店，還雇傭了好幾個人為他工作。

Tom was born a cripple, with one of his lower limbs useless.Early in his childhood, he learned that unless he so exerted himself as to rise above his limitations, he could not earn a living, and unless he succeeded in making a living on his own, he could not win/gain the respect of others.That was the price he had to pay for his dignity as a human being.Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down, before he finally got one as a delivery boy for a Pizza Hut.He then worked as a sales representative for a sportswear company in a territory no one else would want.Today he owns a fairly profitable retail shop in his hometown, and hires several people to work for him.Unit 8 1997年，蘇格蘭一組科學(xué)家的克隆實驗使多利羊得以誕生，自那時以來，有關(guān)克隆人的激烈爭論一直進(jìn)行著。這一有爭議的問題的焦點聚集在此項技術(shù)的倫理與社會含以上：此項技術(shù)會對人類生育、撫養(yǎng)孩子以及人的個性等的真正意義帶來什么影響。

大多數(shù)科學(xué)家堅決反對繁殖性克隆，支持支在治療疾病的治療性克隆。其理由是，治療性的克隆技術(shù)不牽涉任何對人的生命的威脅，實際上還能為人們提供極大的緩解痛苦的可能。他們相信，有適當(dāng)?shù)恼吆捅O(jiān)管以確保治療性克隆被安全的使用，我們都能從這一過程中收益。

Dolly the sheep resulted from a cloning experiment by a group of Scottish scientists in 1997.A fierce debate on human cloning has ever since been going on.This contentious issue has focused on ethical and social implications of the technology:what the technology might do to the very meaning of human reproduction,child rearing, individuality, etc.The majority of scientists are adamantly opposed to reproductive cloning and support therapeutic cloning for treating diseases.The reason is that therapeutic cloning does not involve any type of relief of suffering in human beings.Scientists believe that with politics and monitoring in place to ensure that therapeutic cloning is used safely, we can all benefit from this procedure.

2、長城是人類創(chuàng)造的世界奇跡之一

The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world 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 visiting the Pyramids!People often say, “He who fails to 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 Jiayunguan Pass in the west, was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty.3、改革開放30 年來，隨著中國逐漸崛起成為政治

As China is rising as a political and economic world power, thanks to its three-decade reform and opening up, more and more people in overseas countries start to learn Chinese and turn to a Confucius Institute in their own countries as their first choice in learning Chinese language and Chinese culture.// During the learning process, the learners develop their interest in this ancient land, whose civilization is so vastly different from theirs.And the learners have opportunities to learn about Chinese philosophy, art, architecture, medicine and catering culture and experience first-hand the splendors of this venerable civilization.// As the second culture, Chinese culture has enriched the life and world outlook of the learners.This trend, so to speak, is gathering momentum and is there to stay.Apart from their love for Chinese cuisine, more and more American learners of Chinese language are turning to Chinese acupuncture, herbal medicines and martial arts.// They are also interested in Kongfu films, fashions and crafts.Seemingly outlandish words such as dim sum, ginseng, gingko, oolong cha have crept into their everyday language.The latest Chinese cultural icons to make its impact there are Taoism, an ancient school of thought, and fengshui, an ancient art of placement.//

11、中國新年是中國最重要的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，在中國也被稱為春節(jié)

Chinese New Year is the most important traditional Chinese holiday.In China, it is also known as the Spring Festival.New Year celebrations run from Chinese New Year’s Eve, the last day of the last month of the lunar calendar, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month.Customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely from place to place.However, New Year’s Eve is usually an occasion for Chinese families to gather for the annual reunion dinner.It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly clean the house in order to sweep away ill fortune and to bring in good luck.And doors will be decorated with red couplets with themes of health, wealth and good luck.Other activities include lighting firecrackers, giving money in red envelopes, and visiting relatives an12、要了解中國文化，就應(yīng)該對中國的戲曲文化有所了解。

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 I860.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.
