第一篇：英語翻譯

Youth Youth is not a time of life；it is a state of mind；it is not a matter of rosy cheeks，red lips and supple knees；it is a matter of the will，a quality of the imagination，a vigor of the emotions；it is the freshness of the deep spring of life．

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity，of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease．This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20．Nobody grows old merely by a number of years．We grow old by deserting our ideals．Years may wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul．Worry，fear，self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust．

Whether 60 or 16，there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders，the unfailing childlike appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living．In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station：so long as it receive messages of beauty，hope，cheer，courage and power from men and from the Infinite，so long are you young．

When the aerials are down，and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism，then you are grown old，even at 20；but as long as your aerials are up，to catch waves of optimism，there’s hope you may die young at 80．

青春

青春不應(yīng)以生命時(shí)間來衡量，而應(yīng)由人的心態(tài)所決定；青春不僅僅意味著玫瑰色的面頰、紅潤的雙唇、靈活的腿腳，更意味著堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志、豐富的想象力和情感的活力。青春是人心靈深處的清泉。

青春意味著一種內(nèi)在氣質(zhì)的優(yōu)勢(shì)，它表現(xiàn)為以勇氣克服怯懦，以探險(xiǎn)克服安逸。比起20歲的年輕人，這種優(yōu)勢(shì)更經(jīng)常地存在于一個(gè)60歲的男子身上。沒有人僅僅經(jīng)歷生命的若干春秋就會(huì)衰老。我們衰老是因?yàn)槲覀儝仐壛俗约旱睦硐?。歲月可能只會(huì)弄皺我們的皮膚，但是放棄熱忱之心會(huì)使我們的靈魂起滿皺紋。憂慮、恐慌、喪失自信會(huì)令我們心情沮喪，意志泯滅。

無論60歲還是16歲，在每個(gè)人的心中，都有著對(duì)未知事物的好奇，對(duì)未來有孩童般無窮無盡的欲望和對(duì)生活樂趣的追求。在你我的心靈中都有一座無線電臺(tái)，只要它能從人群和無限時(shí)空接收到美麗、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號(hào)，青春就會(huì)與你相伴。

一旦你心中的天線倒下，你的靈魂就會(huì)覆蓋上玩世不恭的積雪，悲觀頹廢的堅(jiān)冰，你已經(jīng)衰老了——即使你才20歲。然而只要你心中的天線仍然聳立，捕捉著樂觀的信號(hào)，那么即使你將在耄耋之年辭世時(shí)，仍然有望青春依舊。

Venice Venice is a fascinating city between sea and sky．It is on 117 islands．There aren’t any cars or buses because there are no highways in Venice．But it has 150 canals and 400 bridges．The narrow streets，with their historic names，are paved with flagstones，but have no footpaths．They are lined with flower-decked side by side．The squares are charming．The brick bridge，with white stone trimmings，are pitched high to allow barges to pass under them．

Every year thousands of tourists from the five continents visit this beautiful city．They are always amazed at the charm of her water and pellucid light，which can make them free from all dust and cooled by the sea breezes．

But because the level of the surrounding waters is constantly rising，the exceptional position of Venice constitutes a threat to its very existence．And the Venetians love their city and want to stay there to save Venice from the sea．Now various measures have already been taken and a plan to safeguard and remedy the position is under investigation．

威尼斯

威尼斯是一座海天相連的迷人城市。它建造在117座島嶼上。因?yàn)橥崴钩鞘袃?nèi)沒有公路，所以也就沒有小汽車和公共汽車，但城內(nèi)有150條運(yùn)河，400座橋梁。那些名稱具有歷史意義的狹窄街道是用石板鋪成的，但沒有人行道。街道兩旁是點(diǎn)綴著鮮花的陽臺(tái)，圣母雕像、商店招牌和燈籠。工匠們的店鋪與宮殿毗鄰共存。廣場(chǎng)頗多，富有魅力。用白色大理石裝飾的磚橋巍然屹立著，橋下游船不斷。

每年都有成千上萬的來自五大洲的游客到美麗的威尼斯觀光。他們總是對(duì)威尼斯的粼粼水波和波光的魅力驚嘆不已，因?yàn)樗梢允棺约簻毂M塵埃，領(lǐng)略徐徐拂面的清涼的海風(fēng)。

但是，由于周圍水面不斷上升，威尼斯得天獨(dú)厚的地理位置構(gòu)成一種對(duì)其自身存在的威脅。然而，威尼斯人熱愛自己的城市，他們?cè)敢饬粼谀莾赫韧崴?，使之不被大海所吞噬。如今?dāng)?shù)卣呀?jīng)采取了各種措施，還有一項(xiàng)保護(hù)和補(bǔ)救威尼斯地位的計(jì)劃正在審查之中。

How American Universities Collect Tuition Why have European universities declined so precipitously in recent decades？And what can be done to restore them to their former glory？The answer to the first question lies in the role of the state．American universities get their funding from a variety of different sources，not just government but also philanthropists，businesses and，of course，the students themselves．European ones are largely state-funded．The constraints on state funding mean that European governments force universities to “process” more and more students without giving them the necessary cash——and respond to the universities’ complaints by trying to micromanage them．Inevitably，quality has eroded．Yet as the American model shows，people are prepared to pay for good higher education，because they know they will benefit from it：that’s why America spends twice as much of its GDP on higher education as Europe does．

The answer to the second question is to set universities free from the state．Free universities to run their internal affairs：how can French universities，for example，compete for talent with theirAmerican rivals when professors are civil servants？And free them to charge fees for their services——including，most importantly，student fees．

美國大學(xué)如何籌措學(xué)費(fèi)

為什么近幾十年來歐洲大學(xué)急劇衰落呢？如何才能重振雄風(fēng)呢？第一個(gè)問題的答案在于國家的角色。美國大學(xué)的經(jīng)費(fèi)來自多種不同的渠道，不僅僅來自政府，還來自慈善家、實(shí)業(yè)家，當(dāng)然，還有學(xué)生自己。歐洲的大學(xué)主要由國家資助。國家資助的種種局限意味著歐洲政府在不能提供必要資金的情況下強(qiáng)迫大學(xué)“造就”越來越多的學(xué)生，而且往往通過微觀管理方式來處理大學(xué)的種種抱怨，因此不可避免地引起質(zhì)量滑坡。然而，美國模式顯示，人們是愿意為優(yōu)質(zhì)的高等教育付費(fèi)的，因?yàn)樗麄冎雷约簩闹惺芤妗＿@就是為什么美國的高等教育費(fèi)用在其國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值中所占比例要比歐洲高一倍的原因。

第二個(gè)問題的答案是把大學(xué)從國家的控制下解放出來。給予大學(xué)管理內(nèi)部事務(wù)的自由：比如，如果法國大學(xué)的教授都是公務(wù)員的話，怎么能與美國對(duì)手競(jìng)爭(zhēng)人才呢？以及還要給大學(xué)為其所提供的服務(wù)收費(fèi)的自由，尤其重要的是包括收取學(xué)費(fèi)的自由。

How to Grow Old(Excerpt)As regard health，I have nothing useful to say since I have little experience of illness．I eat and drink whatever I like，and sleep when I cannot keep awake．I never do anything whatever on the ground that it is good for health，though in actual fact the things I like doing are mostly wholesome．

Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age．One of these is undue absorption in the past．It does not do to live in memories，in regrets for the good old days，or in sadness about friends who are dead．One’s thoughts must be directed to the future，and to things about which there is something to be done．This is not always easy；one’s own past is a gradually increasing weight．It iseasy to think to oneself that one’s emotions used to be more vivid than they are，and one’s mind more keen．If this is true it should be forgotten，and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true．

The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of sucking vigour from its vitality．When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives，and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young，you are likely to become a burden to them，unless they are unusually callous．I do not mean that one should be without interest in them，but one’s interest should be contemplative and，if possible，philanthropic，but not unduly emotional．Animals become indifferent to their young as soon as their young can look after themselves，but human beings，owing to the length of infancy，find this difficult．

I think that a successful old age is easiest for those who have strong impersonal interest involving appropriate activities．It is in this sphere that long experience is really fruitful，and it is in this sphere that the wisdom born of experience can be exercised without being oppressive．It is no use telling grown-up children not to make mistakes，both because they will not believe you，and because mistakes are an essential part of education．But if you are one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests，you may find that your life will be empty unless you concern yourself with your children and grandchildren．In that case you must realize that while you can still render them material service，such as making them an allowance or knitting them jumpers，you must not expect that they will enjoy your company．

怎樣才能活得老（節(jié)選）

談到健康問題，我就沒有什么可說的了，因?yàn)槲覜]怎么生過病。我想吃什么就吃什么，想喝什么就喝什么，眼睛睜不開了就睡覺，從來不為對(duì)身體有益而搞什么活動(dòng)，然而實(shí)際上我喜歡做的事大都是有助于增進(jìn)健康的。

從心理方面來說，到了老年，有兩種危險(xiǎn)傾向需要注意防止。一是過分地懷念過去。老想著過去，總覺得過去怎么好怎么好，或者總是為已故的朋友而憂傷，這是不妥的。一個(gè)人應(yīng)當(dāng)考慮未來，考慮一些可以有所作為的事情。要做到這一點(diǎn)并非總是很容易的；自己過去的經(jīng)歷就是一個(gè)越來越沉重的包袱。人們往往會(huì)對(duì)自己說，我過去感情多么豐富，思想多么敏銳，現(xiàn)在不行了。如果真是這樣的話，那就不要去想它，而如果你不去想它，情形就很可能不是這樣了。

另一件需要避免的事情就是老想和年輕人呆在一起，希望從青年的活力中汲取力量。孩子們長大之后，就希望獨(dú)立生活，如果你還像他們年幼時(shí)那樣關(guān)心他們，你就會(huì)成為他們的累贅，除非他們特別麻木不仁。我不是說一個(gè)人不應(yīng)該關(guān)心孩子，而是說這種關(guān)心主要應(yīng)該是多為他們著想，可能的話，給他們一些接濟(jì)，而不應(yīng)該過分地動(dòng)感情。動(dòng)物，一旦它們的后代能夠自己照料自己，它們就不管了；但是人，由于撫養(yǎng)子女的時(shí)間長，是難以這樣做的。

我認(rèn)為，如果老年人對(duì)于個(gè)人以外的事情懷有強(qiáng)烈的興趣，并參加適當(dāng)?shù)幕顒?dòng)，他們的晚年是最容易過得好的。在這一方面，他們由于閱歷深，是能夠真正做得卓有成效的，也正是在這一方面，他們從經(jīng)驗(yàn)中得出的智慧既可以發(fā)揮作用，又不致使人感到強(qiáng)加于人。告誡成年的子女不要犯錯(cuò)誤，那還是沒有用的，一來他們不聽你的，而來犯錯(cuò)誤本身也是受教育的一個(gè)重要方面。但是如果你這個(gè)人對(duì)于個(gè)人以外的事情不發(fā)生興趣，就會(huì)感到生活空虛，除非你老惦記著兒孫。在這種情況下，你可要明白，雖然你還可以在物質(zhì)方面給他們以幫助，比如給他們零花錢，或者為他們織毛衣，但你決不要指望他們會(huì)喜歡跟你作伴。

The Song of the River You hear it all along the river．You hear it，loud and strong，from the rowers as they urge the junk with its high stern，the mast lashed alongside，down the swift running stream．You hear it from the trackers，a more breathless chant，as they pull desperately against the current，half a dozen of them perhaps if they are taking up wupan，a couple of hundred if they are hauling a splendid junk，its square sail set，over a rapid．On the junk，a man stands amidships beating a drum incessantly to guide their efforts，and they pull with all their strength，like men possessed，bent double；and sometimes in the extremity of theirtravail they crawl on the ground，on all fours，like the beasts of the field．They strain，strain fiercely，against the pitiless might of the stream．The leader goes up and down the line and when he sees one who is not putting all his will into the task he brings down his split bamboo on the naked back．Each one must do his utmost or the labor of all is vain．And still theysing a vehement，eager chant，the chant of the turbulent waters．I do not know how words can describe what there is in it of effort．It serves to express the straining heart，the breaking muscles，and at the same time the indomitable spirit of man which overcomes the pitiless force of nature．Though the rope may part and the great junk swing back，in the end the rapid will be passed；and at the close of the weary day there is the hearty meal……

But the most agonising song is the song of the coolies who bring the great bales from the junk up the steep steps to the town wall．Up and down they go，endlessly，and endless as their toil rises their rhythmic cry．He，aw—ah，oh．They are barefoot and naked to the waist．The sweat pours down their faces and their song is a groan of pain．It is a sigh of despair．It is heart-rending．It is hardly human．It is the cry of souls in infinite distress，only just musical，and that last note is the ultimate sob of humanity．Life is too hard，too cruel，and this is the final despairing protest．That is the song of the river．

河之歌

沿河上下都可以聽見那歌聲。它響亮而有力，那是船夫，他們劃著木船順流而下，船尾翹得很高，桅桿系在船邊。它也可能是比較急促的號(hào)子，那是纖夫，他們拉纖逆流而上，如果拉的是小木船，也許就只五六個(gè)人；如果拉的是揚(yáng)著橫帆的大船過急灘，那就要二百來人。船中央站著一個(gè)漢子不停地?fù)艄闹龑?dǎo)他們加勁。于是他們使出全部力量，像著了魔似的，腰彎成兩折，有時(shí)力量用到極限就全身趴在地上匍匐前進(jìn)，像田里的牲口。他們使勁，拼命使勁，對(duì)抗著水流無情的威力。領(lǐng)頭的在纖繩前后跑來跑去，見到有人沒有全力以赴，竹板就打在他光著的背上。每個(gè)人都必須竭盡全力，否則就要前功盡棄。就這樣他們還是唱著激昂而熱切的號(hào)子，那洶涌澎拜的河水號(hào)子。我不知道詞語怎樣能描寫出其中所包含的拼搏，它表現(xiàn)的是繃緊的心弦，幾乎要斷裂的筋肉，同時(shí)也表現(xiàn)了人類克服無情的自然力的頑強(qiáng)精神。雖然繩子可能扯斷，大船可能倒退，但最終險(xiǎn)灘必將通過，在筋疲力盡的一天結(jié)束時(shí)可以痛快地吃上一頓飽飯……

然而最令人難受的卻是苦力的歌，他們背負(fù)船上卸下的大包，沿著陡坡爬上城墻。他們不停地上上下下，隨著無盡的勞動(dòng)響起有節(jié)奏的喊聲：嗨，喲——呵，嗨。他們赤著腳，光著背，汗水不斷地從臉上流下。他們的歌是痛苦的呻吟，失望的嘆息，聽來令人心碎，簡直不像是人的聲音。它是靈魂在無盡悲戚中的呼喊，只不過有著音樂的節(jié)奏而已。那終了的一聲簡直就是人性泯滅的低泣。生活太艱難，太殘酷，這喊聲正是最后絕望的抗議。這就是河之歌。

籬笆上的釘子

從前有個(gè)小男孩脾氣很壞。父親給他一袋釘子，告訴他每當(dāng)脾氣失控時(shí)，就在籬笆的背面釘一顆釘子。第一天，小男孩往籬笆上釘了37顆釘子。后來幾周里，他逐漸學(xué)會(huì)了克制自己，釘入籬笆的釘子日見減少。他發(fā)現(xiàn)控制壞脾氣比在籬笆上釘釘子要容易得多。終于有一天，小男孩可以完全控制自己了。他告訴了父親，父親建議他在能夠不發(fā)脾氣的日子里，每天拔下一顆釘子。

日子一天天過去，小男孩終于可以告訴父親釘子全部拔完了。父親牽著兒子的手領(lǐng)他來到籬笆前。他說：“兒子，干得不錯(cuò)。但你再看看籬笆上的這些洞。這道籬笆永遠(yuǎn)不是從前的籬笆了。每當(dāng)你說氣話，也會(huì)留下同樣的疤痕。你可以持刀刺向別人然后再拔出來，但不管你道歉多少次，傷疤依舊?？陬^的傷害同身體的傷害一樣傷人啊。”

Nails in the Fence There once lived a little boy who had a bad temper．His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper，he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence．

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence．Over the next few weeks，as he learned to control his anger，the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down．He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence．

Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all．He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper．

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone．The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence．He said，“You have done well，my son，but look at the holes in the fence．The fence will never by the same．When you say things in anger，they leave a scar just like this one．You can put a knife in a man and draw it out．It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry，the wound is still there．A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one．”

南京

南京位于長江下游，人口共有600多萬，是江蘇省的省會(huì)。因?yàn)閺?世紀(jì)到15世紀(jì)初，一共有8個(gè)朝代曾建都于此，所以名勝古跡甚多。

中山陵

它是偉大的革命先行者孫中山先生的陵墓，占地約130多公頃，憑吊者須登山數(shù)百級(jí)階梯才到達(dá)紀(jì)念室。堂內(nèi)規(guī)模宏偉，正中放有孫中山先生的玉石像。

長江大橋

中國人民一直嘗試在揚(yáng)子江上修橋，1968年，中國人民堅(jiān)持獨(dú)立自主方針，自行設(shè)計(jì)并建成南京長江大橋。上層為公路橋，全長4000多米；下層為鐵路橋，全長6772米。橋墩之間以167米相間排列。

此外，亦可參觀明孝陵，這是明朝開國皇帝朱元璋的墳?zāi)?。南京博物院陳列了江蘇省五千年來的重要?dú)v史文物和藝術(shù)品。梅園新村紀(jì)念館是中國共產(chǎn)黨代表團(tuán)辦公的地方。南京還有由五個(gè)小湖組成的莫愁湖及蓮花處處的玄武湖。

Nanjing Situated in the lower reaches of the Changjiang River with a population of more than 6 million，Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu Province．From the 3rd century to the 13th century，eight dynasties founded their capital here，leaving many historical relics and scenic spots．

Dr．Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum This is the resting place of Dr．Sun Yat-sen，the forerunner of the Chinese Revolution．It covers an enormous area of over 130 hectares．The Memorial Hall is situated at the top of a long staircase，with a marble statue of Dr．Sun Yat-sen in it．

Nanjing Changjiang River Bridge The Chinese people had long dreamed of building bridges over the Changjiang River．This bridge was built in 1968 by self-reliance．This bridge is 6772 meters long including the approaches．The upper deck is for vehicles and pedestrians，while the lower deck carries railway lines．

Other places to see in Nanjing include Xiaoling，the tomb of Emperor Hongwu，founder of the Ming Dynasty；the Nanjing Museum，which has a collection of relics dating back to 5000 years ago；the Memorial Hall of the Plum Blossom Villas where the delegation of the Chinese Communist Party stayed in the 1940s；Mochou Lake with its five small islands and Xuanwu Lake with its beautiful lotus flowers．

香港

香港坐落在中國南端的一個(gè)彈丸小島上。在日趨全球化的經(jīng)濟(jì)中，香港正起著一個(gè)非常重要的角色。由于香港的戰(zhàn)略位置、面向國際的商業(yè)氛圍和優(yōu)越的通訊條件，她成為世界貿(mào)易的活動(dòng)中心和亞太地區(qū)的神經(jīng)中樞。香港已經(jīng)和世界上170個(gè)國家和地區(qū)的公司有商業(yè)往來，與亞洲其他國家和地區(qū)的貿(mào)易大幅度增長。香港的集裝箱港口是世界上最繁忙的，而且還在進(jìn)一步擴(kuò)建。雖然香港開始成為世界金融中心還是最近20年的事，但現(xiàn)在海外貸款已占到香港銀行提供的總貸款的一半以上。當(dāng)這顆東方明珠重新回到中國的掌上時(shí)，中國人民眼中的香港未來比過去任何時(shí)候都更加光明燦爛。

Hong Kong Hong Kong，a tiny island perched on the tip of Southern China，plays a pivotal role in an increasingly globalized economy．Given its strategic location，internationally oriented business culture and excellent communications，it has become a crossroad of world trade and the nerve center of the Asia-Pacific region．Commercial links reach out to corporations in over 170 countries and regions．Its trade with the rest of Asia has increased substantially．Its container port is now the busiest，and is undergoing further expansion．Although Hong Kong’s emergence as a world financial center came in recent 20 years，offshore loans account for more than half of the total loan provided by its banks．As the“Pearl of the Orient” returns once again to China’s palm，its people see her future as brighter than ever．

中國文化的兼容性

中國文化在發(fā)展過程中吸納了多元文化的成分，因此它特別具有一種厚度、強(qiáng)度和融化力。這就是中國歷史上的許多外來文化，如猶太文化及其他周邊民族的文化，都被中國文化逐漸吸收甚至同化的緣故。從另一方面來說，外來的異質(zhì)文化要想在中國文化的氛圍里生根與發(fā)展，它也必須適應(yīng)中國文化，必須按照中國文化的生存機(jī)制逐步地改造自己，如同印度的佛教文化在中國的傳播、發(fā)展一樣。即使西方世界的基督教文化，它也必須像利瑪竇那樣先學(xué)習(xí)中國文化，然后才能找到立腳的機(jī)會(huì)。若是以強(qiáng)勢(shì)壓人，是不可能在中國文化里存在久遠(yuǎn)的。

Assimilation of Chinese Culture The Chinese culture has taken in a variety of elements from other cultures in the course of its age-long development．Therefore，it’s characterized by such qualities as profoundness，intensity and melting power．That may account for the fact that alien cultures，like those of the Jewish and other nations around China，have been gradually absorbed and even assimilated by the Chinese culture throughout the history．If foreign culture are to take root and develop in Chinese environment，they have to adapt themselves to its culture and follow its survival mechanism in the same way that the Buddhist culture of India did in its course of spreading and development in China．Even the western Christian culture also has to learn about Chinese culture like Matteo Ricci before it sets foot finally．It is impossible for a foreign culture to survive in Chinese culture if it seeks to impose itself onto the Chinese．

教育的啟示

教育是我們這個(gè)時(shí)代關(guān)鍵性的詞語之一。我們?cè)S多人都認(rèn)為，一個(gè)沒有受過的教育的人是逆境的不幸受害者，他被剝奪了20世紀(jì)最偉大的機(jī)遇之一。現(xiàn)代國家，由于深信教育的重要性，在教育機(jī)構(gòu)中“投資”，以便使大批學(xué)有所成的男女青年可望成為潛在的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者而取回“利息”。教育有其精心安排的教學(xué)周期，并以教材——那些可以買得到的智慧源泉——予以加強(qiáng)，如果沒有教育所帶來的好處的話，文明將會(huì)成為什么樣子？

這些是可以肯定的：我們還會(huì)有醫(yī)生和傳教士，律師和被告，婚姻和生育——可是我們的精神面貌將會(huì)不一樣。我們將會(huì)不那么強(qiáng)調(diào)“事實(shí)和數(shù)字”，而會(huì)更多地強(qiáng)調(diào)良好的記憶力，應(yīng)用心理學(xué)，以及個(gè)人和他的鄉(xiāng)親市民和睦相處的本領(lǐng)。假如我們的教育制度是按照過去沒有書籍的那種情況制定出來的話，我們就會(huì)有可以想象到的最“民主”的學(xué)院形式了。在我們稱之為野蠻人的那些人當(dāng)中，所有由傳統(tǒng)繼承下來的知識(shí)是人人共享的；部落中的每個(gè)成員都受到教育，所以從這個(gè)意義上來說，每個(gè)人都為謀生有了平等的準(zhǔn)備。

Enlightenment in Education Education is one of the key words of our time．A man without an education，many of us believe，is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twentieth century opportunities．Convinced of the importance of education，modern states “invest” in institutions of learning to get back “interest” in the form of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders．Education，with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out，punctuated by text-books—those purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits? So much is certain：that we would have doctors and preachers，lawyers and defendants，marriages and births—but our spiritual outlook would be different．We would lay less stress on “fact and figures” and more on a good memory，on applied psychology，and on the capacity of a man to get along with his fellow-citizens．If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of “college” imaginable．Among the people whom we like to call savages all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all；it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect everybody is equally equipped for life．

第三篇：英語翻譯

翻譯：

在2011年7月，我加入了海航集團(tuán)這個(gè)大家庭并成為海南新生信息有限公司北京分公司的一員，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)給我的職位是客戶服務(wù)主管，在這個(gè)短短的半年中，我嚴(yán)格要求自己并較好的執(zhí)行自己本職的工作，有收獲，也有不足的地方，在公司領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的幫助下，我從一個(gè)對(duì)自己的工作一知半解，到現(xiàn)在我可以自己獨(dú)當(dāng)一面，現(xiàn)將自己的工作狀況以及個(gè)人體會(huì)總結(jié)如下：工作介紹:

在這半年中，我們公司主要的工作重點(diǎn)都放在北京錦繡大地物流港，我們的工作主要是在錦繡大地開展第三方支付業(yè)務(wù)，海航在2011年5月16日全國首批取得 《中華人民共和國支付業(yè)務(wù)許可證》，在2011年1月24日獲得《支付系統(tǒng)安全認(rèn)證證書》并以此為基礎(chǔ)開發(fā)科一個(gè)支付系統(tǒng)簡稱“新生支付”系統(tǒng)。通過這個(gè)系統(tǒng)為錦繡大地的商戶們提供代收代付服務(wù)等相關(guān)金融服務(wù)。

而我的工作主要為：對(duì)商戶以及公司客戶進(jìn)行新生支付系統(tǒng)的了解推廣以及介紹，為商戶及公司申請(qǐng)新生支付賬號(hào)，對(duì)新生支付進(jìn)行使用以及對(duì)錦繡大地的一些正在使用新生支付系統(tǒng)的公司進(jìn)行操作上的培訓(xùn)以及解答，給錦繡大地管理員進(jìn)行錦繡大地結(jié)算卡的培訓(xùn)與使用介紹。

① 新生支付業(yè)務(wù)了解及推廣

在我剛開始接觸新生支付系統(tǒng)的時(shí)候我只是通過從大新華易物流總部那個(gè)得到的相關(guān)資料對(duì)新生支付系統(tǒng)僅有初步的了解，之后我通過聯(lián)系易物流總部運(yùn)營部的蘇珊周嘉華等人，對(duì)新生支付系統(tǒng)有了更深刻的了解，同時(shí)，錦繡大地的一些公司對(duì)新生支付也比較有興趣，這正好可以讓我在實(shí)際操作中了解新生支付以及對(duì)其進(jìn)行推廣，在推廣過程中，我了解到了客戶的信息，并準(zhǔn)備通過他們提交的信息為他們申請(qǐng)支付平臺(tái)的賬號(hào)。

② 新生賬號(hào)的申請(qǐng)

從向總部的相關(guān)人員咨詢中我了解到，只有申請(qǐng)到了新生平臺(tái)賬號(hào)才能在新生平臺(tái)進(jìn)行業(yè)務(wù)的使用。申請(qǐng)賬號(hào)時(shí)需要備其以下資料：商戶信息調(diào)查表完整填寫，營業(yè)執(zhí)照副本，稅務(wù)登記證，組織機(jī)構(gòu)代碼證，法人身份證（都需要復(fù)印件），同時(shí)要簽訂協(xié)議并上報(bào)公文，在協(xié)議中，要明確的是結(jié)算時(shí)間，這個(gè)主要跟客戶在使用平臺(tái)時(shí)付款的到賬時(shí)間有關(guān)，一般為T+1。了更好更快的推廣新生支付平臺(tái)，我通過以上的要求在1個(gè)半月的時(shí)間里為錦繡大地的5家公司開了新生平臺(tái)賬號(hào)。

③ 新生支付平臺(tái)的使用培訓(xùn)

在申請(qǐng)完新生支付平臺(tái)賬號(hào)后，我將幫助客戶進(jìn)行賬號(hào)的注冊(cè)，登陸密碼和支付密碼啊的設(shè)定，之后就可以在使用了。一般的客戶主要在平臺(tái)上進(jìn)行大額款項(xiàng)的往來、單比付款、批量付款。單筆付款主要是面向個(gè)人或者是一家公司，批量付款則是這個(gè)系統(tǒng)的一大優(yōu)點(diǎn)，在一張excel表里可以把所有付款信息填入里面，無論多少人，多少公司都可以，這時(shí)，需要在設(shè)置另一個(gè)操作員的賬號(hào)，由于批量付款涉及金融較大，數(shù)量較多，所有對(duì)系統(tǒng)會(huì)在批量付款時(shí)需要業(yè)務(wù)復(fù)核。在這半年里，這5家公司通過批量付款進(jìn)行過工資發(fā)放，退付款的發(fā)放等等，而且他們每天都在新生平臺(tái)進(jìn)行金額的代收代付業(yè)務(wù)。

④ 錦繡大地結(jié)算卡

我們?cè)阱\繡大地推廣新生系統(tǒng)的同時(shí)，為了給商戶們帶來更便利的金融服務(wù)，我們推出了錦繡大地結(jié)算卡，這是一張預(yù)付費(fèi)卡，可記名可掛失。商戶們可以通過這張卡在錦繡大地的結(jié)算中心進(jìn)行現(xiàn)金存取，存支票，轉(zhuǎn)賬等業(yè)務(wù)。在領(lǐng)導(dǎo)把這張結(jié)算卡的主要功能給我們講解完后，在半個(gè)月的時(shí)間里，我們基本上把這張卡的功能全部了解了。在領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的要求下，我們分層給錦繡大地的管理員們進(jìn)行培訓(xùn)，之后找到每層的大商戶，分層分批次的跟他們進(jìn)行結(jié)算卡的推廣。我們以錦繡大地聯(lián)合農(nóng)副產(chǎn)品批發(fā)市場(chǎng)有限公司名，為其申請(qǐng)了新生平臺(tái)賬號(hào)，結(jié)算中心通過錦繡大地的新生平臺(tái)進(jìn)行代收代付的業(yè)務(wù)。

感受與不足

在進(jìn)入海航集團(tuán)的這半年里我感受到了海航大家庭的溫暖，體會(huì)到了海航精神，體會(huì)到了“共同理想、共同信仰、共同追求、共同理念”，體會(huì)到海航將追求品質(zhì)貫穿到每位海航人的每件工作中，以“誠信、業(yè)績、創(chuàng)新”為理念，賦予了“海航”這個(gè)符號(hào)高品質(zhì)的形象，奠定了海航事業(yè)長青不凋的基石。在領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和同事的幫助下，自己成長了許多也成熟了許多，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)交給自己的任務(wù)，自己可以獨(dú)立完成，做到獨(dú)當(dāng)一面。體會(huì)到了海航精神里面的為自己做點(diǎn)事，為他們做點(diǎn)事。

自己在很多方面都有不足的地方，首先我認(rèn)為我對(duì)第三方支付的這個(gè)概念了解的不是很全面，而且對(duì)金融這方面的知識(shí)了解的不是很多，自己應(yīng)該在周末和休息時(shí)間多學(xué)一些金融方面的知識(shí)，多看一些金融方面的書籍。海航是一個(gè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力很強(qiáng)的企業(yè)，如果不學(xué)習(xí)不總結(jié)經(jīng)驗(yàn)早晚會(huì)被海航淘汰，在海航一定要多學(xué)習(xí)，多總結(jié)經(jīng)驗(yàn)和教訓(xùn)，使自己不斷成長，這樣才能讓自己站得住腳。自己在工作中可能還是有些馬虎大意，這在以后工作中是一定不行的，自己所涉及的都是金額較大的工作，所以一定要認(rèn)真。

今年馬上就要過去了，明天可能會(huì)有更多更有挑戰(zhàn)性的工作等著我來完成，我自己也很期待去鍛煉自己，讓自己變的更成熟穩(wěn)重，可以幫助領(lǐng)導(dǎo)和同事排憂解難，自已一定要積極貫徹“海航十則”精神，團(tuán)結(jié)同事，聽取別人的意見和建議，多學(xué)習(xí)，多總結(jié)經(jīng)驗(yàn)和教訓(xùn)，為海航的發(fā)展多出一份力！

In July 2011, I joined the Haihang group，and become a new member of Hainan new information co., LTD., Beijing branch, my position is customer service director.During this short half a year, I am strict with myself and do my job, I have learnt a lot as well as shortcomings.Under the leadership of firm, I change from a girl knows nothing about business to a girl who can make it, now I will share my working conditions and personal experience with all of you, as follows:

(2)Application for the new account

By the relevant consulting from the heads, I learned that only apply for the new platform account can use it for business.Apply for the account calls for the following material: complete merchant information questionnaire, duplicate of business license, tax registration

In the application for the new account payment platform, I will help customers account registration, password, then can be in use.The general

customers are mainly in the platform of the large amount of money than current, single payment, batch payment.Single payment mainly is for an individual or company, batch payment system is the one of the great strengths and, a piece of excel list can put all the payment information inside, no matter how many people and company, at this time, we need to set up another operator account, due to the batch payment involves more quantity, all of the system in batch payment need business review.During this half year, the five companies made salary, pay back the issue, and so on through the batch payment, and they everyday in the new platform for amount of collection and payment business.(4)the big country debit card

第四篇：英語翻譯

“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move，” said David Belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷)．

Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring.But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale？Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way.It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.Yes, that’s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body.Parkour is considered an extreme sport.As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念)behind parkour.This is the same as life.You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully.A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.” Another philosophy we’ve learnt from parkour is freedom.It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world.It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.()1.Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of ________.A．its founder, David Belle B．the film Casino Royale C．its risks and tricks D．the varieties of participants()2.The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”． A．streets

第五篇：英語翻譯

1.As is commonly acknowledged / It is commonly recognised that humans are social animals.Bonded together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends.As to what friendship is, people have different notions / ideas.Some make friends for mutual utility.Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up.However, a lot more people long for “soul pals”— those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together.Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and encourage us to have the courage of our convictions.Such is what we call “true and perfect friendship”.2.After dinner, we all sat around the hearth.Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert.In her soft voice she told us about their past years.Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged.Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safe and sound from the European battlefield.Then they got married and brought up five children.For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life.I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love.They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion and romance.Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.3.Happiness must have much to do with money.After all, a hard life will wear out one’s sense of joy.However, happiness doesn’t derive from money alone.Today’s society as a whole has seen dramatic improvement in the standard of living, and the majority of people are decently fed and clothed.However, are people happier today? In fact, when the mass media and commercial advertisements are still reinforcing the notion that to be happy is to possess more, people find themselves longing more earnestly than ever for a happy and healthy spiritual life: being loved, respected, feeling safe and proud of realizing their self-value.As a wise man once pointed out, happiness lies in the positive attitude one holds towards life other than how much money one earns.Those millionaires who view life as boring and empty serve as good negative examples.5.Scientific development has brought about global changes in educational thought.It not only generates such a new form of education as “virtual universities” but turns “l(fā)ifelong learning” into a workable project.In addition, people today seem to be in favor of practical knowledge.But whatever changes there might have been, education must stick to its classic role: to enlighten learners.Confronted with the new problems of this century, we still expect that education should put more emphasis on cultivating learners' competence to think critically and to work collaboratively / with team spirit.Furthermore, we hope that education will take the responsibility of promoting traditional virtues by guiding learners to dispense with negative desires like greed, lust and violence.6.Once transplanted abroad, people will feel anxious and even lose the capacity to deal with daily routines.This problem is attributed to the disappearance of the surroundings we have been used to.Then, what should we do so as to change the life styles and patterns built up in us over so many years? First, we should be more tolerant towards people with cultural backgrounds different from ours.To get over frustrations caused by culture shock, we should try to adapt ourselves to the new environment and get along with our workmates harmoniously.Furthermore, we should never identify a person with the nationality he represents or proceed to hate the person’s culture only because we don’t like him.In fact, to preserve our national culture is not to resist foreign ones.8.In the modern society, how does competition work in combination with cooperation? Firstly, scarcity leads to competition.Players of the same football team compete for slots on the team, and this team competes against other teams for victory.In a work place, colleagues compete for higher positions.And also in business, firms become rivals for more consumers and a bigger market share.But meanwhile competition is inseparable from cooperation.Players have to cooperate efficiently with one another to win the championships for their team.Colleagues have to cooperate to accomplish their shared task.Firms try their best to cooperate to lobby the agencies of business administration for the greatest privileges.All in all, individuals as well as teams are subjected to both competition and cooperation.The two together nourish the social development so that we can enjoy a more prosperous and harmonious world.
