第一篇:2011大學英語四級寫作、翻譯輕松練(已修改19頁)
大學英語四級翻譯輕松練1 新學期開始了,同學們,面對四級考試,你準備好了嗎? 面對四級的翻譯題,你有信心拿全分嗎? 就讓我們一起做翻譯題吧!
1.__________________(從太空上來看),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, ______________________(正如報紙上報道他們的那樣)。
3.He lent me a thousand pounds,____________________(那正好是我需要的數(shù)目)to solve my problem.4.The villagers_____________________(理所當然地認為)that we should build new roads.5.______________________(如果我和我兄弟之間出現(xiàn)爭吵),my dad settles it.答案:1.Seen from space
Seen from space此處用做狀語,它和句子主句the earth 的關系是被動的,要用過去分詞,being seen 是現(xiàn)在分詞的被動形式,這種形式用在動作正在進行或與謂語表示的動詞同時發(fā)生,在作狀語的分詞里較少適用。
2.are they reported in the newspaper
but 后的分句是以含有否定意義的seldom起首的,后面要用倒裝結構。由于是被報紙報道,所以report 要用它的被動形式。
3.which is exactly the amount I needed 此處用關系代詞which 指代a thousand pounds.英語中表示金錢、時間、距離等數(shù)量的名詞短語,雖然形式上是復數(shù)的,其后動詞仍用單數(shù)形式。
4.take it for granted
take it for granted 是固定搭配,意思是“理所當然地認為”。
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,起來”,而arise 的意思是“出現(xiàn),發(fā)生,呈現(xiàn)”,主語一般為抽象名詞,如“problem, trouble, quarrel”等.你答對了嗎? 大學英語四級翻譯輕松練2 1._______________(鐘聲響了)and we realized it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.2.Finding it difficult to _______________(適應那里的氣候),he decided to move to the north.3.He asked the teacher to____________________(解釋得更詳細一些)。
4.___________________________(與成年人學習外語相比)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
時鐘報時用strike,而不用ring.電話鈴響了一般用ring.2.adapt to the climate there
adapt to 有“與??相適應”的意思,還可以用“be accustomed to ”或“be adjusted to”來表達類似的意思。注意這些“to” 后面一定要跟名詞或動名詞。
3.explain the word in greater detail “explain the word in greater detail”即“詳細解釋某事”的意思。
4.Compared with adults learning foreign languages 此句考查分詞的正確使用,它的主語是children,與adults相比,與compare是動賓關系,所以要用表示被動關系的過去分詞形式。
5.As far as the appearance is concerned “as far as something is concerned”表示“就??而言”,相似的短語有“as something referred”,表示就某事物的某方面作說明。

2.should adapt himself to

(本題考查“傳給”的表達法,“轉交權力或產(chǎn)業(yè)”等用hand over)

2.nothing but labor and diligence
(本題考查nothing but?這個強調考試大判斷句型,意為“也只不過是”)
3.even so
(even so “雖然如此,即使這樣”)
4.None of us expected the headmaster to turn up
(本題考查全部否定,考查“expect sb to do sth”,expect要用過去時,還考查固定短語“turn up”,表示在某場合出現(xiàn))

2.It is because she is too inexperienced
(本題考查句型it is because(that)”表示“正是由于”,因為“沒有經(jīng)驗”在句中作表語,所以將其譯為形容詞形式的“inexperienced”)

(“be being done”現(xiàn)在進行時的被動語態(tài)表示此時此刻某事正在被做,其中動詞be應隨主語作相應變化)
4.for fear that he should be recognized

2.derives pleasure from helping others
(“derive from ”意為“從?獲得?”,from是介詞,所以后面要接動名詞。要注意區(qū)分“derive?from”和“deprive sb.Of?”后者意為“剝奪某人的?”)
3.was finally called off/cancelled because of the bad weather
(分析題干可知句子的主語為“the sports meet”, which was planned to be held last Friday是修飾它的定語從句,且事情發(fā)生在過去,故謂語動詞應該用過去時單數(shù)。因動詞“取消”的邏輯主語不是句子的主語,因此要用被動語態(tài)?!叭∠钡谋磉_法有“call off,cancel”等)
4.second only to.(本題考查be second to的結構,注意不要漏譯副詞“僅僅”)5.such fine weather.(such 可以表示“如此,這般”之意,其后可直接跟名詞,表強調)大學英語四級翻譯輕松練18 模擬演練:

1.So far as I know/As far as I know
(本題考查固定用法so/as as sb knows, 據(jù)某人所知)
2.too old to enjoy a Christmas stocking
(本題考查too?to?的句型,表示“太?以至于不能?”,還考查enjoy一詞的用法,enjoy sth 表示“享受某事帶來的樂趣”)
3.They were hardly ever parted
(本題主要考查否定詞hardly,考試大意為“幾乎從來沒有”,由于它沒有置于句首,句子用正常語序即可,be parted 意為“分開”)
4.play important roles
(本題考查“play a part/role in doing sth”結構,表示“起著?作用,飾演?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 沒有人稱和數(shù)的變化?!安扇〈胧笨勺g為“do something”或“take some action”

2.We are a competitive company looking for creative people willing to work __________________(盡其所能)。
3.I have no objection__________________(再聽聽你的故事)。
4.Sorry I didn’t realize ____________________(這是個如此敏感的問題)。
5.If this can’t be settled reasonably ,it may be necessary to _________________(訴諸武力)。
答案:考試大
1.needn’t have borrowed it from the bank
(本題考查虛擬語氣,“本來”意味著與過去事實相反,因此用have+動詞過去分詞,譯文中用it指代前文提到的money,避免了重復)
2.to the best of their ability
(本題考查慣用詞組“to the best of one’s ability”,意為“盡某人所能,盡最大努力”)
3.to hearing your story again
(本題考查objection的用法,其通常和介詞to連用,后面接動名詞。Have no objection to doing sth,意為“對做某事沒有意見”)
4.it was such a sensitive issue
(本題考查強調句型it is such a?“敏感話題”譯為“sensitive issue”)
5.resort to force(本題考查it is necessary to do sth, 用resort to sth 來表示“訴諸,求助于某物”)大學英語四級翻譯輕松練20
1.He wrote to say ___________________(他們終究還是不能給我一份工作).2.There’s a man at the reception desk who seems very angry and I think he means__________________(想找麻煩).3.I would_______________(不會訴諸法律)a court of law if I hadn’t been so desperate.4.This popular sports car_________________(正在生產(chǎn)出來)out at the rate of a thousand a week.5.Mark often_________________(試圖逃脫罰款)whenever he breaks traffic regulations.答案:考試大
1.they couldn’t give me a job after all
(本句直譯即可,say后面一般跟賓語從句,所譯的部分即為從句內容,“終究”用after all來表示)
2.to make trouble
(本題考查固定短語make trouble“找麻煩”,此外還考查mean to do sth的結構)
3.have never resorted to
(本題考查虛擬語氣的形式,根據(jù)從句用的hadn’t been 可知,主句應用would have done 的形式。Resort to 用于表示“訴諸”)
4.is now being turned
(根據(jù)時間副詞“正在”和“車是被生產(chǎn)的”這一概念可以判斷出譯文應用現(xiàn)在進行時的被動語態(tài),即be being 動詞的過去分詞形式,本題另一難點在“turn out”生產(chǎn)這個詞組上,題干只給出了out,需要填入turn將其補全)
5.attempts to escape being fined(本題考查固定短語attempt to do sth表示“努力做某事”,其次考查escape的用法,其后要接動名詞形式,常與介詞from搭配)大學英語四級翻譯輕松練21
1.I don’t mind you___________________(延期做出決定)the decision as long as it is not too late.2.________________(真是不湊巧),the one who I wanted to call on wasn’t in.3.But for his help,I_________________(不可能這么早完成)。
4.She never dreams of ___________________(被派到國外)
5.This leaflet tells you ____________________(怎么在旅行期間防止生病)答案:考試大
1.I don’t mind you delaying making(延期做出決定)the decision as long as it is not too late.(本題考查mind以及delay“延期”這兩個詞的用法。首先mind作為及物動詞時,后面通常接名詞、代詞、動詞的ing形式、復合機構、從句等,delay后接動詞時,應該接動詞的ing形式)
2.As chance would have it(真是不湊巧),the one who I wanted to call on wasn’t in.(本題考查慣用表達as chance would have it,意為“湊巧、偏偏、不巧”)
3.But for his help,I would not have finished so early(不可能這么早完成)。
(but for 意為“要不是”暗示句子應該用虛擬語氣,根據(jù)句意可知是與過去事實相反,所以用would+have+過去分詞結構)
4.She never dreams of being sent abroad(被派到國外)
(本題考查dream of的用法,后接doing sth,但注意此處要用被動語態(tài),還考查“派到國外”,“派遣某人”通常用send,到國外譯為abroad)
5.This leaflet tells you how to avoid getting ill while traveling(怎么在旅行期間防止生病)(本題考查tell sb sth結構,因此所譯部分為名詞性從句,其中要注意aviod后接動名詞,故get要用ing形式)大學英語四級翻譯輕松練22

5.He has just arrived, but he talks____________________(似乎什么都知道了)。答案:考試大
1.We should recognize that every company and every person is part of a long chain of customers and suppliers(顧客和供應者漫長鏈條的一部分)。
(本題考查名詞chain的用法。原句說顧客和供應者之間是一種鏈條關系,chain的意思是“鏈條,一系列”符合題意)
2.I’d rather you didn’t make any comment(你別發(fā)表任何意見)on the issue for the time being.(本題考查would rather 的用法,此外還考查 make comment 這個詞組,意為“發(fā)表意見”)
3.He always dreams of there being a chance(有個機會)for him to bring into full play his potential.(本題考查短語用法,dream of 后面接名詞或動名詞,there being 是there be 的動名詞形式,是本題的正確表達法)
4.We had to start at exactly the same time, so we had our watches checked(所以我們必須核追手表)。
(本題考查have sth done 的句型。句中的因果關系提示原因是要同時出發(fā),那么其結果是要對表,動詞check就是為準確性而做的調查或檢驗)
5.He has just arrived, but he talks as if he knows about that(似乎什么都知道了)(本題考查as if 的用法,as if 后要用虛擬語氣,同時根據(jù)前半句的時態(tài),后半句也要求用完成時態(tài))大學英語四級翻譯輕松練23

4.When the World War Two was over, Britain ___________________________(釋放了大部分的戰(zhàn)俘)。
5.When I refused to move my car, he ______________________(勃然大怒)and threatened to call the police.答案:1.Because of advances in the medical technology, heart surgery is not as dangerous as it formerly was(像以前那么危險)。
(本題考查同級比較短as?as, 第二個as后可用短語也可以用從句,此句要用一個從句)考試大
2.The heroic fighter would rather die with his head high than live with his knees bent(也不愿跪著求生)。
(本題考查“寧愿?也不愿?”的表達方式would rather?than?, 跪著求生是live with his knees bent)
3.Only one week later, Mr.Smith came to realize either I or he was wrong(不是我就是他錯了)。
(本題考查短語“不是?就是?”的表達方法either?or?,另外注意謂語形式的就近原則)
4.When the World War Two was over, Britain sets free most of war prisoners(釋放了大部分的戰(zhàn)俘)。
(本題考查是短語“釋放”的表達方式set free)
5.When I refused to move my car, he flew into a rage(勃然大怒)and threatened to call the police.(本題考查短語“勃然大怒” fly into a rage)

1.My brother was very ill, so I had to call the doctor(我只得把醫(yī)生請來)in the middle of the night.(本題考查have to 的用法,意為“只好,不得不”,表示客觀的需要)
2.Don’t you know it’s the first time he has attended this kind of meeting.(他參加這種會議)

2.They knew her very well.They had seen her grow up from childhood(他們看著她長大)。
(本題考察see sb do sth和see sb doing sth 的句型,原句說,他們看著她長大,強調的是成長的過程,而非正在成長的動作,若用doing則表示動詞的連續(xù)性、進行性)考試大

Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling
Nowadays, students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study.This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon.First, exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling.Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching.Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it.As for me, I think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help student pay more attention to spelling.Then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance.Finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word spelling.Only by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.大學生應該學選擇什么書讀?
Reading regularly has long become a common part of people’s life.And reading preference has always aroused the greatest concern.What impresses us most is according to the table, the percentage of book circulation in an American university library, which shows that the circulation of popular fictions, general nonfictions, science/technology/education books and art/ literature/poetry books accounts for 65.9%,18.2%,10.8%and 5.1% respectively.The reasons for the phenomenon are varied.Among the various reasons, the appealing content of the popular fictions plays an important part.That is to say, thanks to its appealing plot, popular fictions attract more people than other
types of books do.What is more, science and art books which require readers’ knowledge on
relevant fields are highly demanding.For example, it’s hard for students majoring in chemistry to
understand Browning’s poems, and vice versa.When talking about my reading preference, I think I prefer to science books.On the one hand,in order to deepen what I’m specializing in, I need read more books relevant to my major.On the
other hand, these books can also broaden our horizons.In brief, college students should choose
books according to their interests and needs.2.對比選擇型作文模板

Is a test of spoken necessary?
A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English
Test(CET).Different people have different views on it.Some prefer to have such a test.Others
tend to decline any kind of test of spoken English.As to me, I agree with the first statement.Of course, a test of spoken English is very difficult to handle and the test time is not long
enough to fully display participants’ ability to spoken in English.For example, if a candidate
draws a topic which he or she is not familiar with, it’s hard to show his or her command of spoken
English.But without such a test, some people may not have motivation to practise spoken English.The following reasons can account for my preference.The main reason is that such a test enhances college students’ awareness of the importance
of spoken English.A good example to illustrate is that several years ago, college students only
stressed reading and writing skills, ignoring to building up listening and speaking ability.For
another, a certificate of such a test will make job-hunting easier.From the foregoing, I think a test
of spoken English is of necessity.3.問題解決型作文模板

Reduce Waste on Campus
With the improvement of living standard, waste on campus is increasingly serious.It is
necessary that something should be done to reduce waste on campus.On the one hand, our waste
has already caused a great loss of precious resources, such as water and electricity.On the other
hand, our waste adds our parents as well as our society a burden.Therefore, how to eliminate waste on campus is worth paying attention.Firstly, we should
turn off the light when we leave our dorms or classrooms so as to save electricity as much as
possible.Secondly, we should stop wasting water when we bath, or wash clothes and dishes.For
example, we should use a basin when we clean faces.Thirdly, we should be economical.In other
words, when go shopping, we should buy only what we really need.In fact, the ways to reduce waste on campus are countless.It’s time that we cultivate the

It Pays to Be Honest
It is true that most of us value honesty highly.However, nowadays we often confront
confidence crisis such as cheating, overcharging, fake commodities, etc.I think that we should be
honest.The reasons can be listed as follows.Firstly, only honest people can be truly respected by the others and can make more friends
over a long period of time.Secondly, honesty, which is the traditional virtue of the Chinese people,can make our life easier and more harmonious.For example, consumers will not be afraid of being
overcharged if dealers are honest, and on the contrary dealers can win more customers.Thirdly,honesty can make our society more stable.A case in point is that Singapore which is a society of
trustworthiness and integrity has a comparatively low criminal rate.It goes without saying that being honesty is of benefit to both the collective and the
individual.There is no doubt that we should foster the spirit of honesty.In conclusion, laying
stress on honesty will become the public morals in our society.應用文作文模板

A Letter to a Schoolmate
June 7th, 2010
Dear Wang,I am delighted to learn that you will visit me for a week during this national days.It has been
several years since we departed last time, and I am looking forward to your visit.In my opinion,Nanjing is your best choice for this holiday.On the one hand, there are many places of interest and
historical sites in Nanjing.On the other hand, Nanjing is a cultural center with various artistic and
musical performances.As to the famous sites, I suggest that you should visit the Confucius Temple and Dr.Sun
Yat-sen Mausoleum.If you are interested in parks, the XXX park will be your best choice.It is not

議論文
議論文是作者對某個問題或某件事進行分析、評論,表明自己的觀點、立場、態(tài)度、看法、主張的一種文體。寫議論文要把握三性和三要素。三性指準確性、鮮明性和生動性。三要素指論點、論據(jù)和論證。
論點的基本要求:觀點正確,概括全面,見解新穎,有實際意義,要恰當?shù)鼐C合運用各種表達方式。
論據(jù)的基本要求,真實可靠、充分典型。
論證的基本要求:推理必須合乎邏輯,論證要講究順序,論證要符合正確的推理形式。簡而言之,英語議論文共有三大特點:
1、觀點鮮明的開頭;
2、緊扣主題的結尾;
3、有主題句并且銜接自然的中間段落。
這三點當中,第1、2點早已為絕大多數(shù)中國學生所熟知,因為開頭點題和結尾扣題同樣也是漢語文章的要求。
另外,英語文章和漢語不同的是段落的主題句一定要放在段首,而不能按照中文的寫作習慣放在段落的中間或者最后,在英文應試寫作中更加如此。正因為沒有“主題句”的思想,所以中國學生在寫英語文章時經(jīng)?!跋氲绞裁?,就寫什么”,這在英語議論文中是不能接受的。
常用的關聯(lián)詞分為四類:
1、列舉類
列舉法常用在議論文中,當作者提出一個論點后,可通過列舉出一系列事實對其進行說明或論證。
列舉類關聯(lián)詞有:

舉例法是用事例或數(shù)據(jù)對中心觀點進行說明論證的方法,舉例類關聯(lián)詞有:
for example;for instance;such as;like;take...for example;a case in point;namely;in other words;that is;especially;in particular3、比較和對比
比較是把兩種或兩種以上的事物進行比較,以辨別出它們的相似之處;對比是將這些事物進行對照,辨別其差異而指出各自的特征和本質。這類關聯(lián)詞有:
but;however;yet;otherwise;while;in contrast;by contrast;on the contrary;similarly;likewise;like;conversely;rather than;instead;on the other hand;equally;nevertheless;nonetheless;unlike;still;in the same way;compared with...4、因果類
as a result;since;because(of);thanks to;due to;owing to;for this reason;hence;thus;therefore;on this/that account;on account of;consequently5、總結類
總結法是指在表達了一個觀點或舉了一個例子后,進行總結、給出概括,這類關聯(lián)詞有: in this case;according to;in a word;in brief;in short;to sum up.范文1:
Career or Family: which is more important?
When asked about their opinion of career and family, people always respond differently.Some people deem it more important to pursue their career, while there are always other people who argue that family should be the number one in one’s life.It goes without any question that career plays a key role in our life.In the very first place, career can give us an aim to live on.Without career, much of our living time will be certainly wasted.What’s more, career can provide us with a means to live on.Most of the people earn their income from a job.On the other hand, family is also an indispensable part of life, as many people will admit.Family is always regarded as a place where we can escape from troubles in life.In addition, we can obtain a sense of belonging to from family.Without it, anyone will feel lonely and desperate.In my opinion, career and family are not in opposition to each other.Rather, they can enhance each other so that one’s life can become better and better.Therefore, it’s not a choice between right and wrong, but one between ideal and practical.作文中可用的諺語或句子:
As a saying goes:俗話說
1、A good beginning is half done.良好的開端是成功的一半。
2、An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.一日之計在于晨。
3、A good idler ,an old beggar.少壯不努力,老大徙傷悲。
4、Do as the Romans do.入鄉(xiāng)隨便俗。
5、Each coin has two sides.有利必有弊。
6、Failure is the mother of success.失敗是成功之母。
7、It is never too old to learn.活到老學到老。
8、Like father, like son.有其父,必有其子。
9、No cross, no crown.不見風雨,怎見彩虹。
10、Practice makes perfect.熟能生巧。
11、Where there is a will, there is a way.有志者事竟成12、Time flies.....時光飛逝。。
13、Look before you leap.(三思而后行。)
14、“No pains, no gains”.(沒有付出就沒有收獲)
15、As a proverb says, “Everything has two sides”.On the one hand, physical exercise is good for your health.On the other hand, if you don’t deal with it properly, it will do harm to your health.So we should look at the matter from two sides.一.The main types of guided writing:
1.提綱式作文:
Directions:
Women make a great contribution to the progress of modern society.But there are still some people who don’t agree with it.There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper.Write an essay to the newspaper based on the following outline.1.Role of women in modern society
2.Prejudices and discrimination against women
3.My comment
You should write about 200 words within 40 minutes.Women play an important part in modern society.Now many women are going into professions, such as medicine, law and engineering.They comprise a large part of the workers in offices and factories.Many jobs they are engaged in are in line with their special capabilities of their sex.In addition, some of are working up to important positions which used to be held mainly by men.There are even some businesses which are run completely by women.It is obvious that women are making an outstanding contribution to the progress of modern society.There are, however, still some people who assert that men are superior to women in many ways.In the first place, many jobs men do can hardly be done by women, who are physically not strong enough.They believe that women are the weaker one, both physically and emotionally.According to them, a woman’s place is within the protective environment of the home.Secondly, most of the world-famous scientists and statesmen are found to be males.Finally, the whole society seems to have always been dominated by men only.In their opinion, men should enjoy more rights than do women.Personally, I’m firmly standing on the side of those women right defenders.Since both men and women are equally important in human activities, they should be on an equal footing.二、The structure of a paragraph and its development:
1.Structure of a paragraph: topic sentence, development sentence and concluding sentence.2.Ways of developing a paragraph:
1)Comparison and contrast(對比法)
2)Cause and effect(因果法)
3)Exemplification(舉例法)
4)Generalization and qualification(概述法)
5)Argument(議論法)
三、Some sentence patterns commonly-used in controlled writing :---關于利弊、優(yōu)缺點的句型:
have the advantage of ?..(有?.方面的長處)
benefit sb/sth.(對?有好處)
benefit from sth.(由于?.而受益)
do(a lot of)good to sb.(對?.有許多好處)
be good for sb./sth.(對?.有益)
do damage to sth./damage sth.(對?.造成損害)
be as(not so)good/great as ??
not so much ? as ?(與其說?,不如說?)
---說明原因的句型:
1.There are some manygood reasons for? to do sth
Example: There are two reasons for the changes in people’s living conditions.First, we have been carrying out an opening and reform policy.Second, our national economy is developing rapidly and the birth rate has been put under control.2.We have two good reasons for ?
3.The reasons for ? is that + 從句
--表示不同看法的句型:
1.Different peoplehave hold different opinionviewon
this questionproblem
Some believe that ?Others argue that ?Still others maintain that ?譯:人們對國際文化交流的看法各不相同。有些人認為,國際文化交流能促進各國人民之間的友誼和了解。另一些人則爭辯說,中國是一個具有5000年歷史的文明古國,并且有自己的傳統(tǒng)文化,它和西方文化截然不同。因此,他們反對國際文化交流。我認為,第2種看法是片面的?,F(xiàn)在國際文化交流是非常重要的。各國人民應該互相了解、互相學習以便增進友誼。
People differ in their opinions on the international cultural exchange.Some believe that international cultural exchange contributes to the friendship and understanding of the people all over the world.Others argue that China is an ancient civilized nation with a history of 5000 years and has its own
traditional culture, which is quite different from that in the western countries.Therefore, they are opposed to the international cultural exchange.In my opinion, the second view is one-sided and partial.The international cultural exchange is of great importance now.People of all countries should understand each other and learn from each other to enhance the friendship among them.1.They are quite different from each other in their opinions.2.Some people hold the opinion that it is good to have a small family.Example: Parents and children think differently on this question.Parents hold that children should work hard and do well at school.Children, however, maintain that they should have freedom to spend their leisure time and to plan for their own future.---表示必須、緊急、有困難做某事的句型:
1.It is important(necessary, urgent, difficult, easy, convenient, comfortable, expensive, desirable, advisable)for sb.To do sth.2.have trouble difficulty(in)doing sth.(有困難做某事)

世界貿(mào)易組織成立于1995年1月1日,目的是確保一個穩(wěn)定的全球和貿(mào)易經(jīng)濟環(huán)境。在當今世界上的190多個國家中,世界貿(mào)易組織的成員國(member country)有158個。在處理國家之間的貿(mào)易規(guī)則方面,世界貿(mào)易組織是唯一的全球性國際組織。世貿(mào)組織的事務應該引起我們的關注,因為世貿(mào)組織制定的規(guī)則對我們國家的經(jīng)濟和國民生活都有一定的影響。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 peoples lives.2 奧運會是國際性的體育盛會(sporting events),體育項目種類繁多,分為夏冬兩季,均是每4年舉辦一次。最初有記載的奧運會于公元前776年在希臘的奧林匹亞(Olympia)舉行。奧運會是最大的媒體活動之一。2000年悉尼奧運會上,有超過1.6萬名播音員和新聞記者參與報道。據(jù)估計,有38億觀眾通過電視收看了此屆盛會。然而,奧運會的發(fā)展也是奧運會面臨的一個大問題。
The Olympic Games are an international multisport 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 《三國演義》由羅貫中創(chuàng)作于14世紀,是一部中國歷史題材小說。小說以漢朝末年和三國時期的歷史演變?yōu)楸尘埃瑪⑹隽嗽谶@個動蕩(turbulent)時期發(fā)生的一系列重大事情。整個故事情節(jié)從公元168年開始一直到公元280年領土統(tǒng)一(reunification)時結束。小說篇幅長達80萬字,分為120個章節(jié),共描述了1 191個人物角色,堪稱中國文學史上四大經(jīng)典小說之一。
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)是中國漢族的一種傳統(tǒng)民間舞蹈,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裝(costume),他們的表演動作有力而迅速。在農(nóng)歷春節(jié)、元宵節(jié)等節(jié)日期間,人們一旦聽到鑼(gong)鼓聲,不管外面天氣有多冷,他們都會蜂擁到街上觀看秧歌舞表演。近年來,中國東北某些城市的老年人自發(fā)組織了秧歌隊,隊員常年通過跳秧歌舞來保持健康,同時他們也樂在其中。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 中國人喜歡在一起吃飯,這個傳統(tǒng)可以追溯到很久之前。這反映出中國人喜歡團圓、不愿分離的觀念——圓桌、圓盤、圓碗都象征著團圓和美滿。盤子通常放在桌子的中央,這樣坐在桌子面前的所有人都可以吃得到。一鍋熱湯尤其可以增加和諧、團圓的氣氛。朋友們也喜歡在一起吃飯、生活。最近一位美國漢學家(Sinologist)的著作認為,中國人的集體觀念(collective tradition)就是從一同吃飯發(fā)展而來的。
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 川劇(Sichuan Opera)就像四川火鍋以及其他的名菜一樣動人、豐富。變臉(Face Changing)是川劇中的一大亮點。據(jù)說古人在他們的臉上作畫,[JP2]以便趕走野生動物。川劇吸收了這一古老的技藝并將其升華為一門藝術。變臉是一門神奇的藝術。演員在不到20秒的時間內要換十多次臉譜。通過舉手、擺袖或搖頭,演員使用不同的臉譜來表現(xiàn)不同的情緒,并通過看得見摸得著的臉譜表達出看不見摸不著的感情。
Sichuan Opera(Chuan Ju), like hotpot 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 長城作為世界上最偉大的奇觀之一,是古代中國在不同時期為抵御北方游牧民族(nomadic tribe)侵襲而修筑的規(guī)模浩大的軍事工程的統(tǒng)稱。如同巨龍一般,長城自東向西綿延8 800多公里。距今已有2 000多年歷史的萬里長城很多地方已經(jīng)變成了廢墟,但是它仍然是世界上最具吸引力的地方。1987年,長城被聯(lián)合國教科文組織(UNESCO)列為世界文化遺產(chǎn)。The Great Wall, one of the greatest wonders in the world, is the general name of a series of largescale 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 光棍節(jié),又稱“雙十一”,最初是由大學生發(fā)起的單身人士的情人節(jié),現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)從最初的慶祝單身變成了中國人的一個網(wǎng)購狂歡節(jié)。過去六年里,中國的電商(ecommerce)巨頭們開始利用這一商機,通過打折促銷吸引顧客,提高銷售收入。天貓(Tmall.com)雙十一一天的銷售額從2009年的5 000萬飆升至2013年的350億。郵政部門(the State Post Bureau)表示由于準備充分,盡管訂單增加,快遞業(yè)務仍然運行正常。
Singles Day, also named the Double 11 Day, which originated with college students as an alternative to Valentines 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 ecommerce 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 對于中國人來說,“面子”十分重要,它指的是一個人根源于自尊的名譽觀。大部分中國人都認為,有面子是最重要的事情之一,丟面子則會帶來巨大的痛苦。因此,人們必須了解并遵守面子規(guī)則,如果違反就會受到嚴厲的懲罰。然而,有時候一個人丟面子不僅僅是因為他們的行為不符合社會的要求,還可能是由于別人的行為沒有符合他個人的期待。
Face is immensely important for the Chinese.It can be defined as a notion of ones reputation rooted in selfesteem.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 societys obligations on him, but also from the failure of others to act in accordance with his expectations of them.武術在我國源遠流長,是中國傳統(tǒng)文化的瑰寶(gem)。我們知道,一個民族的優(yōu)秀文化遺產(chǎn)不僅僅屬于一個民族,它會逐漸傳播到世界的其他地方而成為人類的共同財富。為了更好地推廣武術,使其與奧運項目接軌,中國武協(xié)和國際武聯(lián)(the Chinese Wushu Association and the International Wushu Federation)做了艱苦卓絕的工作?,F(xiàn)在武術已被列為一種與保齡球(bowling)和國際標準舞(international standard dance)有同等地位的奧運表演項目。
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 doesnt 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)是中國獨特的傳統(tǒng)服飾。旗袍原本是滿族(Manchu)婦女的服裝,穿在身上非常寬松,直上直下,中間沒有腰線。后來一些漢族的女性對這種服飾進行了改造,使它更加合身、性感。20世紀20年代,旗袍在上海的女學生中變得非常流行。旗袍一般是由絲綢制成,領口、袖口和腋襟上都繡有精細的花邊。旗袍體現(xiàn)了中國女性的端莊、溫柔和美麗。
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 womens modesty, softness and beauty.中國石窟(grotto)主要反映的是佛教文化藝術。敦煌莫高窟、大同云岡石窟、洛陽龍門石窟、天水麥積山石窟,號稱中國四大石窟藝術景觀。佛教石窟隨山雕鑿、彩繪,形象生動自然,將崇高美(sublimity)與世俗情(secular feeling)融為一體,把天然造化與人工創(chuàng)造有機結合,是由建筑、繪畫、雕塑等組成的博大精深、絢麗奪目的綜合藝術殿堂。其藝術成就為世界所矚目,已成為重要的世界文化遺產(chǎn)。
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 中國古典文學包括詩歌、散文、小說及詞(ci)、賦(fu)、曲(qu)等多種文體,藝術表現(xiàn)手法豐富各異。小說歷史悠久,并在明清時期達到巔峰。小說中的《三國演義》《水滸傳》《西游記》《紅樓夢》被稱為中國四大古典文學名著,至今在國內外都有著廣泛而深遠的影響。研讀四大名著能夠了解中國傳統(tǒng)人文社會、民俗,是汲取古代文明精粹、處世為人策略與智慧的重要途徑。
Chinese classical literature includes poetry, prose, fiction, and ci(new lyrics written to preexisting tunes), fu(“descriptive poems” of prosepoetry), qu(a freer form based on the new popular songs and dramatic arias), and many other styles.Its artistic expressions are various in techniques.Chinese fiction has a long history, reaching its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Four classics of Chinese literature are Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, Pilgrimage to the West, and A Dream of Red Mansions, which have extensive and farreaching significance both on a national and international level.Through reading “the four famous novels” carefully, you can understand traditional Chinese society and human culture, and its folklore.And it is an important way to absorb the quintessence of ancient culture as well as to pick up strategies and wisdom on how to get along with others.14 泰山(Mount Tai)位于山東中部,占地426平方千米,最高峰“玉皇頂(the Jade Emperor Peak)”海拔約1 545米。泰山以恢宏的自然景觀著稱于世,山上點綴著寺廟、石碑和石刻(stone inscription)。身為中國五大名山之首,泰山備受佛教(Buddhism)和道教(Taoism)的推崇。中國的很多皇帝都曾到泰山敬拜天地。傳統(tǒng)觀念認為泰山是每天太陽最先升起的地方。因此為了到泰山之巔看日出,成千上萬的人午夜就開始攀登泰山。
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.中國古代四大藝術中的“畫”特指國畫。其繪畫形式是用毛筆蘸墨、顏料作畫于絹或宣紙之上,古代稱之為水墨丹青(inkpainting)。為區(qū)別于西方的油畫而稱之為中國畫,簡稱“國畫”。其題材有人物、山水、花鳥等。技法可分為工筆(fine brushwork)和寫意(freehand brushwork)。國畫的藝術特質在于“筆墨”,強調以形寫神,畫盡意在。國畫在藝術創(chuàng)作上反映了中華民族的審美意識和情趣。
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 inkpainting.In order to distinguish it from Western oilpaintings, 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 freehand 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)是中國最為重要的手工藝品之一。中國瓷器有3 500多年的歷史,明清時期尤其繁榮。瓷器不僅可以用作日常餐具(dinnerware)、花瓶等,精美的瓷器更是常常被人們用來裝飾家居。作為高檔藝術品的象征,真品瓷器常常具有極高的藝術價值和經(jīng)濟價值,因此,常被很多人視為珍藏品。中國瓷器受到各國人民的歡迎,經(jīng)常被用作表達中外友誼的禮物。Porcelains are one of Chinas 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 highend 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 酒是中國人生活中的重要飲品之一。中國制酒源遠流長,享譽中外。在中國最具有代表性的酒莫過于白酒(liquor)了,從某種角度上來說,中國的酒文化就是白酒文化。酒在中國人眼里更多的是一種交際的工具。酒在中國人生活中占有重要的位置,滲透于(permeate)整個中華五千年的文明史中,包括文學創(chuàng)作、娛樂、烹飪、養(yǎng)生保健等各方面。
Alcohol is one of the important drinks in Chinese peoples life.Chinese alcoholmaking 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 peoples eyes.Alcohol has permeated 5 000 years civilization of the whole Chinese history, which plays an important role in every aspect of Chinese peoples life, from literary creation and entertainment to cooking and health preservation.18 11月11日由四個1構成,因此每年此日就是光棍節(jié)(Singles Day)。20世紀90年代,南京眾多大學首先開始慶祝光棍節(jié)。正如其名,這個新節(jié)日是專門為單身人士設立的。近年來,中國成為世界上互聯(lián)網(wǎng)用戶最多的國家,而單身人士是網(wǎng)購的主力軍(main force),許多電子商務平臺(platform)就在光棍節(jié)當天開展促銷活動以吸引中國不計其數(shù)的單身人士前來購物。目前,光棍節(jié)已成為中國人瘋狂網(wǎng)購的日子。
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 worlds biggest population of Internet users and the single people are the main force of Chinas online spending power, many ecommerce 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 隨著城市化(urbanization)進程的加快,越來越多的農(nóng)民工(migrant worker)在城市里安頓下來。他們把子女接到城里來,希望孩子能接受到更好的教育。然而,這些農(nóng)民工發(fā)現(xiàn)現(xiàn)實并不像他們預期的那么美好。城市公立學校的設施和師資遠遠不能滿足大批農(nóng)民工子女的需求。幸運的是,農(nóng)民工子女的教育已成為政府議事日程上優(yōu)先處理的問題。
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 theyve 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 governments agenda.20 杭州市擁有世界上最大的公用自行車系統(tǒng)(bike sharing system)。目前杭州市共有2 700個公用自行車租賃站點,共計66 500輛車。計劃至2020年,公共自行車的數(shù)量將增至175 000輛。租用自行車需要智能卡(smart card),可在任意站點租車、在任意站點還車。租車騎行1小時內免費,1小時以上則按每小時1元收費。公用自行車系統(tǒng)對緩解杭州市的交通擁堵(congestion)起到了很大的作用。
With 66 500 bikes in 2 700 renting stations in the city now, Hangzhou owns the largest bike sharing system in the world.It plans to increase to 175 000 bikes by 2020.For renting a bike, one needs a smart card.One can rent a bike and return it at any station.Bike users can ride for free for the first hour and pay 1 yuan per hour for the extra time.The system is of great help to relieve the traffic congestion in Hangzhou city.
