今年的亞太經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易合作組織會(huì)議將主要側(cè)重兩個(gè)方面:一是加強(qiáng)亞太經(jīng)合組織成員之間的合作,共同應(yīng)對(duì)可能出現(xiàn)的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退,重樹(shù)信心;二是繼續(xù)推進(jìn)亞太經(jīng)合組織貿(mào)易投資自由化進(jìn)程,推動(dòng)世界貿(mào)易組織盡早開(kāi)始新一輪談判。
分析:
① 本屆會(huì)議將圍繞“新世紀(jì)、新挑戰(zhàn):參與、合作、促進(jìn)共同繁榮”的主題,審議 5 個(gè)方面的議題,以期促進(jìn)亞太地區(qū)和全球經(jīng)貿(mào)的發(fā)展。
譯文 1 : This meeting will discuss the topic of “new century, new challenge: participate , cooperate and promote common prosperity covering 5 areas with a view to enhancing the development of economy and trade between the Asian-Pacific region and the rest world.譯文 2 : This meeting will center round the theme of “Meeting new challenges in the new century: achieving common prosperity through participation and cooperation” under 5 heads with a view to promoting the economic and trade development in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.考點(diǎn): 意譯:“新世紀(jì)、新挑戰(zhàn):參與、合作、促進(jìn)共同繁榮”如譯文 1 翻譯純粹采取直譯,把字面意思翻譯出來(lái),而譯文 2 把這句話的含義翻譯出來(lái),值得推薦。
轉(zhuǎn)性譯法:動(dòng)詞 → 名詞 參與 →participation 合作 →cooperation
② 今年的亞太經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易合作組織會(huì)議將主要側(cè)重兩個(gè)方面:一是加強(qiáng)亞太經(jīng)合組織成員之間的合作,共同應(yīng)對(duì)可能出現(xiàn)的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退,重樹(shù)信心;二是繼續(xù)推進(jìn)亞太經(jīng)合組織貿(mào)易投資自由化進(jìn)程,推動(dòng)世界貿(mào)易組織盡早開(kāi)始新一輪談判。
譯文 1 : The APEC meeting in this year will focus mainly on two aspects: one is on strengthening the cooperation among all the APEC members to cope with the possible economic recession through rebuilding up confidence;the other is on promoting the liberalization of trade and investment of APEC for the start of a new round of negotiations/talks for WTO.譯文 2 : This year’s APEC meeting will focus on two key missions: one is to strengthen the cooperation among APEC members in dealing with a possible economic slowdown to build up new confidence;the other is to continue to advance the process of APEC trade and invest liberalization and facilitation and urge the WTO to initiate a new round of talks as soon as possible.考點(diǎn): 增詞譯法:“一是加強(qiáng)” →one is on strengthening,因?yàn)榍敖?focus mainly on,因此增加 on 介詞。
第三篇:中級(jí)口譯歷年翻譯真題
99年9月
每年春季,數(shù)以萬(wàn)計(jì)的中外客商云集申城,參加一年一度的華東出口品交易會(huì)。上海各類商品在這里與全國(guó)各地一比短長(zhǎng)。上海的優(yōu)勢(shì)在于科技實(shí)力,因此高技術(shù)產(chǎn)口的出口應(yīng)成為上海外貿(mào)出口增長(zhǎng)的“排頭兵”。
著名物理學(xué)家楊振寧教授曾說(shuō):“高科技戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)是中國(guó)超越發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的主戰(zhàn)場(chǎng),也是最后的戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)?!弊甙l(fā)展高科技貿(mào)易之路,是歷史的必然,也是末來(lái)的需要。
Every spring hundreds of thousands of domestic and foreign businessmen swarm into Shanghai to attend the annual East China Export Commodity Trade Fair.Here, all kinds of goods from Shanghai compete with the goods from other places in China.The advantage of Shanghai lies in its advanced scientific and technological strength, therefore the export of high-tech products should take the lead in increasing Shanghai’s foreign trade and export.Professor Yang Zhenning, a famous physicist, once said, “The high-tech battlefield is the main and the last battlefield for China to overtake the developed countries.” It is not only indispensable in history, but also necessary in the future to develop by way of promoting high-tech trade.98年3月
這所大學(xué)的任務(wù)是培養(yǎng)德智體全面發(fā)展,能熟練運(yùn)用外語(yǔ)從事外事和文化交流工作的合格人才。本科生分四年制和五年制兩種,學(xué)生畢業(yè)考試及格并且通過(guò)論文后,即可獲得學(xué)士學(xué)位。通用語(yǔ)種的學(xué)生,在能熟練使用外語(yǔ)后,還要接受諸如外事翻譯、語(yǔ)言學(xué)、文學(xué)、新聞、國(guó)際文化交流等方面的專業(yè)訓(xùn)練。這樣,畢業(yè)生在掌握一門(mén)外語(yǔ)之外還須具備上述專業(yè)的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)。
The task of this university is to train qualified personnel for foreign affairs and cultural exchange with foreign countries and teachers for institutions of higher learning, who are morally, intellectually and physically qualified and have a good command of foreign languages.It has a 4-year course and a 5-year course for undergraduates.Those who have passed the graduation examination and have written an acceptable thesis are awarded/given a Bachelor’s degree.Students of commonly used foreign languages, after acquiring the ability to use language efficiently, are intercultural communication, so that the graduates will have a basic knowledge in those fields in addition to their mastery of a foreign language.98年9月
深圳作為全國(guó)最早的特區(qū),與內(nèi)地經(jīng)濟(jì)往來(lái)極為密切,特別是在香港回歸祖國(guó)以后,人員往來(lái)大為增加,深圳機(jī)場(chǎng)是全國(guó)十大機(jī)場(chǎng)之一。由于深圳地處亞熱帶,與北方溫差較大,從北方來(lái)的旅客,為了適應(yīng)深圳的氣候,走下飛機(jī)的第一件大事就是脫掉身上過(guò)多過(guò)厚的衣服。
深圳機(jī)場(chǎng)為方便旅客,設(shè)置了4 間更衣室。室內(nèi)設(shè)備齊全。旅客可以輕松愉快的環(huán)境中更換衣服,整理儀容,給前來(lái)迎接的親朋好友留下良好的第一印象。
As the nation’s earliest established special economic zone, Shenzhen has very close economic contacts with the innerland provinces.Especially after the returning of Hongkong to the motherland, the number of passengers coming and leaving Shenzhen is increasing rapidly.Shenzhen Airport claims to be one of the ten largest airports in the country.Because Shenzhen is located in the subtropical zone, there exists quite big temperature difference between the city and northern areas in China.So the passengers from the north are always anxious to take off their overdressed warm clothes for the first important thing to do after landing in order to adapt themselves to the local temperature.For the convenience of the passengers, Shenzhen Airport Administration set up 4 well-furnished changerooms.The passengers can change their clothes, tidy themselves up in the easy and pleasant surroundings, so as to leave a good first impression on the relatives and friends who come to meet them at the airport.99年3月
澳門(mén),南海之濱一顆閃耀的明珠,以她的風(fēng)采、滄桑和輝煌,更以1999年12月20日這個(gè)不同尋常的日子,吸引著全世界的目光。
自古以來(lái),澳門(mén)就是中國(guó)的領(lǐng)土,中華兒女世世代代在這里繁衍生息。
早在80年代,世紀(jì)偉人鄧小平就提出了“一國(guó)兩制”的偉大構(gòu)想。1997年7月1日,中華人民共和國(guó)恢復(fù)對(duì)香港行使主權(quán)。今年,澳門(mén)又將徹底結(jié)束外國(guó)管治,回到祖國(guó)懷抱,這是中華民族的又一件歷史盛事,它標(biāo)志著中國(guó)人民向著祖國(guó)統(tǒng)一的偉大目標(biāo)又邁出了重大的步。澳門(mén)的明天一定會(huì)更好美好。
Macao, a sparking pearl in the coast of China, catches the world’s attention for her charm, her experiences of various changes and her bright achievements, and moreover, for the unusual date of December 20, 1999.Macao has been the territory of China ever since the ancient times.The Chinese people have been living and working there for generations.Early in the 80s, Mr.Deng Xiaoping, one of the great figures of the century, put forward the bold concept of “One Country, Two Systems”.On July 1, 1997, the People’s Republic of China resumed her sovereignty over Hong Kong.This year, Macao will completely get rid of the foreign regime and return to motherland.This is another great historical event for the Chinese people.It symbolizes another big step for the Chinese people on their way towards the great goal of the country’s reunification.Macao’s future is sure to be even brighter.99年9月
正在建設(shè)之中的浦東國(guó)際機(jī)場(chǎng)位于長(zhǎng)江入??谀习兜臑l海地帶,占地約32平方公里。根據(jù)上海社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展對(duì)航空業(yè)務(wù)量的需求,浦東國(guó)際機(jī)場(chǎng)的緊終設(shè)計(jì)能力是年旅客客運(yùn)量8000萬(wàn)人次,貨運(yùn)量500萬(wàn)噸。機(jī)場(chǎng)全部建成后,綠化覆蓋率將達(dá)到50%以上。浦東國(guó)際機(jī)場(chǎng)是一扇向天空開(kāi)啟的大門(mén),是一條與世界聯(lián)系的紐帶。人類即將進(jìn)入21世紀(jì),人、自然、環(huán)境和建筑必將和諧、持續(xù)發(fā)展。
Pudong International Airport, now under construction, is located on the south bank of the Yangtze(Changjiang)estuary, covering an area of 32 square kilometres.To meet the demands of Shanghai's social and economic development for aviation services, the maximum design capacity of the airport is 80 million passengers and 5 million tons of freight annually.After the completion of the whole airport project, green space will account for over 50% of the area.Puuong International Airport is a gate open to the sky and a link connecting different parts of the world.As the 21st century is coming very near, man, nature, environment and construction will certainly develop in a harmonious and sustained way.00年3月
中華民族歷來(lái)愛(ài)好自由與和平。中國(guó)人始終希望天下太平,希望同各國(guó)人民友好相處。中國(guó)人民在近代飽受戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和侵略的痛苦,更深感自由與和平的珍貴。任何一個(gè)國(guó)家建設(shè)和發(fā)展,都需要一個(gè)和平穩(wěn)定的國(guó)際國(guó)內(nèi)環(huán)境。任何一個(gè)國(guó)家和民族的自由,都是一切個(gè)人自由的前提和基礎(chǔ)。我們希望各國(guó)人民都生活在沒(méi)有戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和暴力的世界里,希望各國(guó)人民都能享有不被人壓迫、歧視和欺凌的自由。
The Chinese people have been a freedom-and-peace-loving nation.They have always hoped for the world to be at peace and the peoples of various countries to co-exist peacefully.Having suffered from wars and foreign aggression in modern times, the Chinese people treasure freedom and peace all the more.Every nation needs a peaceful and stable international and domestic environment for its construction and development.The freedom of a country or nation is the prerequisite and base of the freedom of any individual.We hope that all nations can live in a world free from war and violence and that people from all parts of the world can enjoy freedom without oppression, discrimination, bullying and humiliation.00年9月
中國(guó)政府在宣布實(shí)行和平統(tǒng)一的方針時(shí),是基于一個(gè)前提,即當(dāng)時(shí)的臺(tái)灣當(dāng)局堅(jiān)持世界上只有一個(gè)中國(guó)、臺(tái)灣是中國(guó)的一部分。同時(shí)中國(guó)政府考慮到美國(guó)政府承認(rèn)了世界上只有一個(gè)中國(guó)、臺(tái)灣是中國(guó)的一部分、中華人民共和國(guó)政府是中國(guó)的唯一合法政府。
中國(guó)政府在實(shí)行和平統(tǒng)一方針的同時(shí)始終表明,以何種方式解決臺(tái)灣問(wèn)題是中國(guó)的內(nèi)政,并無(wú)義務(wù)承諾放棄使用武力。
The declaration by the Chinese government to implement the policy of peaceful reunification was based on the prerequisite that the then Taiwan authorities insisted that there is only on China in the world and that Taiwan is a part of China.At the same time, the Chinese government took into consideration the fact that the US government recognized that there is only one China in the world, that Taiwan is a part of China and that the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate government of China.While implementing the policy of peaceful reunification, the Chinese government has all along made it clear that it is an internal affair of China to decide on what method to use to resolve the Taiwan issue and that we have no obligation to commit ourselves to rule out the use of force.01年3月
據(jù)調(diào)查,我國(guó)有40%的青少年除了課本外不看其他書(shū)籍。對(duì)此,我感到極為震驚。雖然有關(guān)人士聲稱調(diào)查具有科學(xué)性,我仍不敢相信。不過(guò)盡管懷疑,事實(shí)卻是,越來(lái)越多的年輕人在業(yè)余時(shí)間已不再讀書(shū),而是看電視、跳舞、打電子游戲機(jī),或者“侃大山”。高爾基說(shuō)過(guò):“書(shū)籍是人類進(jìn)步的階梯。”眾所周知,書(shū)籍是人類智慧的結(jié)晶。盡管現(xiàn)代傳媒(如電視、計(jì)算機(jī))在信息的傳播速度上有許多優(yōu)勢(shì),但到目前為止,還沒(méi)有哪一種在傳播知識(shí)的深度方面能取代書(shū)籍。According to a survey, about 40% of our country’s youth do not read any books other than their textbooks.I am shocked at the result.I remain suspicious of the survey, though the people concerned claim it to be scientific.Despite my suspicion, the fact is that more and more young people, instead of reading, spend their spare time watching TV, going to dance parties, playing video games or chitchatting.Gorgy once said:“Books are steps toward human progress.”As we all know, books is a crystallization of human wisdom.Although modern media such as TV and computers enjoy advantages in the speed of information dissemination, so far none of them can replace books in respect of the depth of knowledge being spread.01年9月
本屆會(huì)議將圍繞“新世紀(jì)、新挑戰(zhàn):參與、合作、促進(jìn)共同繁榮”的主題,審議5個(gè)方面的議題,以期促進(jìn)亞太地區(qū)和全球經(jīng)貿(mào)的發(fā)展。
今年的APEC會(huì)議將主要側(cè)重兩個(gè)方面:一是加強(qiáng)APEC成員之間的合作,共同應(yīng)對(duì)可能出現(xiàn)的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退,重樹(shù)信心;二是繼續(xù)推進(jìn)APEC貿(mào)易投資自由化進(jìn)程,推動(dòng)WTO盡早開(kāi)始新一輪談判。

我總以為,在中國(guó)效率最高的會(huì)議要數(shù)學(xué)校召集的家長(zhǎng)會(huì)。家長(zhǎng)會(huì)完全符合“廉政建設(shè)”的要求,與會(huì)的家長(zhǎng)絕不會(huì)像參加行業(yè)、單位的一些會(huì)議,先看看會(huì)議地點(diǎn)是不是設(shè)在風(fēng)景旅游區(qū),會(huì)后發(fā)不發(fā)紀(jì)念品之類,然后方?jīng)Q定是否參加。其他會(huì)議都難得準(zhǔn)時(shí),惟有家長(zhǎng)會(huì)絕對(duì)正點(diǎn)召開(kāi)。在家長(zhǎng)會(huì)上,家長(zhǎng)們個(gè)個(gè)全神貫注地傾聽(tīng)、記錄,生怕漏掉一點(diǎn)內(nèi)容。不少會(huì)議都可列入可開(kāi)可不開(kāi)之列,但對(duì)于學(xué)校和家長(zhǎng)而言,家長(zhǎng)會(huì)則是必不可少的。
I always believe that the most efficient meeting in China is the parents’ meeting called by the school.The parents’ meeting, is in full conformity with the requirements for the “building of an honest and clean government”.With respect to meetings organized by a certain trade or the unit where one works, the person wants to know whether the venue of a meeting is in a scenic area frequented by tourists and whether gifts of souvenirs will be handed out after the meeting before he decides whether to go or not to go.But for the parents’ meeting, nobody will ever think of that.While other meetings are rarely convened on time, the parents’ meeting invariably starts with punctuality.At the parents’ meeting, every parent listens and takes notes with rapt attention lest he or she might miss anything.For many meetings, it does not really matter whether they are to be held or not, but to the school and the parents, the parents’ meeting is absolutely necessary.4 02年9月

中華民族歷來(lái)珍惜和平。中國(guó)的崛起,是和平的崛起,是依靠自己力量來(lái)發(fā)展自己。中外關(guān)系中,我們一貫主張以鄰為伴、與人為善,同各國(guó)發(fā)展友好合作關(guān)系。

In China, there is an old saying which goes like this, “Long distance never separates close friends.” A ready link connecting this country and many other ones, like the Silk Road, in Asia and Europe helps a lot in bringing about the splendid civilization in Asia and the frequent exchanges and communication between China and the Continent in the past years.Now, we are going a step further in our cooperation based on mutual benefits, enjoying a brand-new bilateral relation.China, a devoted part in promoting the economic development in the 2 continents, will keep her track on the road of peace and development.A corresponding effort made by this country in building a dynamic and long-term cooperation in all fields across Asia and Europe, together with all the other efforts from the 2 continents, will definitely contribute a big part in making the bright future.06年3月

進(jìn)入耶魯大學(xué)的校園,看到莘莘學(xué)子青春洋溢的臉龐,呼吸著書(shū)香濃郁的空氣,我不由回想起40年前我在北京清華大學(xué)時(shí)的美好時(shí)光,老師們對(duì)我的教誨,同學(xué)們給我的啟發(fā),我至今仍受用不盡。
耶魯大學(xué)以悠久的發(fā)展歷史、獨(dú)特的辦學(xué)風(fēng)格、卓著的學(xué)術(shù)成就聞名于世。如果時(shí)光能夠倒流幾十年,我真希望成為你們中的一員。耶魯大學(xué)校訓(xùn)強(qiáng)調(diào)追求光明和真理,這符合人類進(jìn)步的法則,也符合每個(gè)有志青年的心愿。
Coming to the Yale campus with its distinctive academic flavor, and looking at the eager young faces in the audience, I cannot but recall my great experience studying at Qinghua University in Beijing 40 years ago.I still benefit greatly from the instruction and my interaction with other students.Yale is renowned for its long history, unique way of teaching and excellence in academic pursuit.If time could go back several decades, I would really like to be a student of Yale just like you.Yale's motto “Light and Truth,” which is a calling for human progress, represents the aspiration of every motivated young man and woman.07年3月
中國(guó)贏得 2010 年世界博覽會(huì)的舉辦權(quán),靠的是國(guó)際社會(huì)對(duì)中國(guó)改革開(kāi)放的支持和信心。這次博覽會(huì)將是自 1851 年在英國(guó)倫敦第一次舉辦以來(lái),首次在發(fā)展中國(guó)家舉辦的世界博覽會(huì),它表達(dá)了全世界人民對(duì)中國(guó)未來(lái)發(fā)展的期望。

China owes its successful bid for the World Exposition in 2010 to the international community’s support for and confidence in its reform and opening-up.The World Exposition will be the first one in a developing country since it was first held in 1851 in London, UK, which gives expression to the expectations the world’s people place on China’s future development.The theme of World Expo 2010 shanghai is “BetterCity, Better Life”.The prospect of future urban life, a subject of global interest, concerns every nation and its people.Being the first world Exposition on the theme of city, Expo 2010will attract about 200 nations and international organizations to participate in it, with an estimate of 70 million visitors from home and abroad.07年9月
中國(guó)堅(jiān)定不移地走和平發(fā)展道路,是基于中國(guó)國(guó)情的必然選擇。1840年鴉片戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)以后的100多年里,中國(guó)受盡了列強(qiáng)的欺辱。消除戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng),實(shí)現(xiàn)和平,建設(shè)獨(dú)立富強(qiáng)、民生幸福的國(guó)家,是近代以來(lái)中國(guó)人民孜孜以求的奮斗目標(biāo)。今天的中國(guó)雖然取得了巨大的發(fā)展成就,但人口多,底子薄,發(fā)展不平衡,仍然是世界上最大的發(fā)展中國(guó)家。推動(dòng)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展,不斷改善人民生活始終是中國(guó)的中心任務(wù)。堅(jiān)持走和平發(fā)展道路,是中國(guó)實(shí)現(xiàn)國(guó)家富強(qiáng)、人民幸福的必由之路。中國(guó)人民最需要、最珍愛(ài)和平的國(guó)際環(huán)境,愿盡自己所能,為推動(dòng)各國(guó)共同發(fā)展作出積極貢獻(xiàn)。
China’s firm stand on peaceful development is only natural, given the country’s unique situation.In the ensuing 100 plus years after the Opium War of 1840, China suffered great humiliation at the hands of the world’s big powers.The Chinese people have, throughout the modern times, yearned and sought for a peaceful, independent, prosperous and happy life free from wars.Despite the tremendous growth we are witnessing in China today, the country is still faced with a large population, a weak economic foundation and rather uneven development.It is still, as it were, the largest developing country in the world.China’s major focus, therefore, is on socio-economic development and continued improvement of people’s livelihood.The only way to achieve prosperity for China and happiness for its people is by sticking to the path of peaceful development.The Chinese people will try their utmost to promote and contribute to common development among nations and, in order to do that, they need and cherish to the highest degree a peaceful international environment.08年9月

據(jù)消息靈通人士透露,今年春節(jié)前,家樂(lè)福才與新大新發(fā)生“第一次親密接觸”,其中廣州市政府無(wú)疑起了“紅娘”的作用。短短幾個(gè)月時(shí)間,雙方“情投意合”。外界關(guān)心的是:家樂(lè)福到底看中新大新什么地方?
對(duì)此,新大新總經(jīng)理何先生沒(méi)有作出正面的回應(yīng),只是籠統(tǒng)地陳述在廣州的百貨業(yè)中新大新有自己獨(dú)特的一面。據(jù)何先生透露,這次新大新出資持有新組建的公司35%的股份,家樂(lè)福占65%:“這是按照國(guó)家有關(guān)部門(mén)政策,即中方持股不得少于35%的規(guī)定厘定的”。
According to a well-informed source, before this year’s Spring Festival, Carrefour made its “first intimate contact” with Xindaxin company.Without doubt the Guangzhou Municipal Government served as the “matchmaker”.The two parties “had an affinity for each other” in only a few months.What on earth is Xindaxin’s appeal to Carrefour? It is of great concern to the outsiders / the public.Mr He, general manager of Xindaxin, instead of giving any positive response to this question, just made a general/ambiguous reply that Xindaxin boasts its uniqueness in the department stores industry in Guangzhou.Mr He disclosed that Xindaxin holds 35% of the shares of the newly-established company while Carrefour owns the other 65%: “which is in conformity with the policies of departments concerned, stipulating that the Chinese side must hold no less than 35% of the shares.”

Our life is shortened by every tick of the second hand of the clock.Each page peeled away from the wall calendar marks a bygone day.Time is life, while life is cherished by everybody, but time, by few.How can we achieve something in our brief life?

Two big shots attended a buffet reception, trying to pose as lovers of culture, for the participants included some real scholars of distinction.During the reception, a scholar chatted with Tycoon A and somehow the topic shifted to Shakespeare.The scholar asked, “Are you most interested in Shakespeare?” The big shot paused and announced with a severe countenance: “In comparison, whiskey is more to my taste.” Hearing that, all the listeners laughed up their sleeves.Tycoon B saw the straw in the wind and left resentfully.On their way home in the car, Tycoon B lectured Tycoon A: “ How could you be that ignorant!Shakespeare is a beverage, and you are foolish enough to take that as an imported spirit!”

With the approaching of 2010, the ringing of bells in 24 time zones around the globe echoes one after another, announcing the lapse of the first decade in the new millennium and the start of another 10 years.Over the past ten years, China’s economy maintained a successive 9% increase for nine years since the beginning of the 21st century and still a 8% growth in the last year of the past decade, albeit influenced by global financial storm.Functioning like a mainstay that makes vigorous endeavors to turn the tide, China, once again, draws global attraction to the East.A silver lining is emerging again after a year-round practice.As long as all the mankind conquer adversities, override difficulties with collective wisdom, there is bound to be a way out.10年9月
說(shuō)起上海老城,總會(huì)讓人和古老傳統(tǒng)的東西聯(lián)系起來(lái),比如明代的豫園和清代的城隍廟。上海建城有700多年歷史,但最具人文發(fā)展歷史的時(shí)期是開(kāi)埠后的150年間,諸如華洋雜居、石庫(kù)門(mén)、老字號(hào)等等,都發(fā)生在開(kāi)埠后的上海。
流傳于老城內(nèi)外的民間文化,豐富多彩。著名的“上海老城人物風(fēng)情畫(huà)卷”生動(dòng)地描繪了上海老城市民的生活百態(tài)。上海老城市歷史文明與現(xiàn)代文明的兼容并蓄,無(wú)論上海城市發(fā)展如何日新月異,她仍將記錄著上海城市發(fā)展的歷史華章。
The old town of Shanghai, when it is mentioned, is always associated with the past and the tradition, something such as the Yuyuan Garden in the Ming Dynasty and the Town God’s Temple(or the City God Temple / Chenghuangmiao)in the Qing Dynasty.Despite a history of more than 700 years, it is the 150 years since its opening to foreign trades that enjoyed the most spelendid/ greatest humane development of Shanghai.During that period, scenes appeared such as the co-inhabitation of Chinese foreigners, the building of Shikumen, and the growth of time-honored firms.Various and colorful folk cultures have gained popularity in and out of Shanghai’s old town, which has been proved in the famous “The Painting Scroll of Local Residents in Shanghai’s Old Town”, a vivid depiction of the lives of local residents in every aspect.Despite the ever-changing advances of Shanghai, its old town, an inclusive combination of ancient and modern civilization, will still serve as a glorious chapter in the history of the development of Shanghai city.11年3月
豫園是上海著名的古典園林,已有400多年的歷史。花園設(shè)計(jì)獨(dú)特,具有明清兩代南方的建筑藝術(shù)的風(fēng)格。園內(nèi)共有40余景,景色自然迷人,亭臺(tái)樓閣、假山池塘和諧對(duì)稱、協(xié)調(diào)均衡,其布局之精致自古聞名江南。
豫園原為明代一位大官的私家花園,始建于1559年,直到20年后才建成。此后曾幾經(jīng)變遷,屢遭摧殘。所幸的是,從1949年上海解放時(shí),園內(nèi)的主要景點(diǎn)尚完好無(wú)損。從1956年開(kāi)始,豫園經(jīng)過(guò)多次修繕,重現(xiàn)其昔日光彩。
The Yuyuan Garden is a renowned classical garden located in Shanghai that enjoys a history of over 400 years.With delicate design, it boasts the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.40 attractive scenic spots dot the garden, including pavilions, pagodas, ponds and rockeries, with each adding radiance to one another.The Yuyuan Garden tops South China for its delicacy and elegance.The Garden was originally the private garden of a governor in the Ming Dynasty.Its initial construction started in 1559, but it was not completed until two decades later.The Garden was repeated destroyed under vicissitudes;fortunately, its major scenic spots remained intact in 1949 when Shanghai was liberated.The Garden regained its splendor after several renovations starting from 1956.11年9月
越來(lái)越多受英文教育的海外華人父母,已經(jīng)認(rèn)識(shí)到孩子在掌握不可或缺的英文的同時(shí),也通曉中文的重要性。中國(guó)的崛起,讓他們充分認(rèn)識(shí)到孩子掌握雙語(yǔ)的好處——既能增加他們的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì),也能讓他們接觸和熟悉東西方兩種不同的文化。
這些人對(duì)中文的態(tài)度幾乎沒(méi)有完全改變。曾幾何時(shí),他們還非常驕傲地宣稱自己只懂英文?,F(xiàn)在,他們已開(kāi)始積極支持孩子學(xué)習(xí)中文和中國(guó)文化,而且還不時(shí)走訪中國(guó),欣賞壯觀的自然風(fēng)光,認(rèn)識(shí)豐富的文化遺產(chǎn)。
An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kids have a good command of Chinese.China’s rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit from their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West.They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese.At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only.Now, they have begun to give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China, where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage.12年3月
吸煙之危害,可謂大矣,其嚴(yán)重性是不能低估的。吸煙污染空氣,損害健康,使肺癌發(fā)病率大大增加。為了使各國(guó)人民關(guān)注煙草的盛行及預(yù)防吸煙導(dǎo)致的疾病和死亡,世界衛(wèi)生組織已將每年的5月31日定為“世界無(wú)煙日”。
癮君子們說(shuō),一天飯不吃可以,一個(gè)時(shí)辰不抽煙就難捱了,不能戒。只要真正意識(shí)到吸 煙有百害而無(wú)一利,于人于己都是一種禍害,就有可能下決心擺脫煙草的誘惑。戒煙貴在堅(jiān)持,堅(jiān)持下去就是收獲。
Smoking does great harm to human and its gravity should not be underestimated.Smoking pollutes air, damages health, and increases the incidence of lung cancer.To arouse the awareness about the prevalence of tobacco in all the countries and to prevent smoking-induced diseases and deaths, the WHO(World Health Organization)has defined May 31st in every year as World No-Tobacco Day.The tobacco addicts say that smoking is impossible to quit because they could do without meals in a day but would feel tortured without tobacco in two hours.However, when one realizes that smoking is harmful in many ways but beneficial in no way and that it is a curse to others as well as to he himself, he will be determined to resist the temptation of tobacco.To quit smoking requires persistence and so long as one persists, he’ll be rewarded.12年9月
近代以來(lái),亞洲經(jīng)歷了曲折和艱難的發(fā)展歷程。亞洲人們?yōu)楦淖冏约旱拿\(yùn),始終以不屈的意志和艱辛的奮斗開(kāi)辟前進(jìn)道路。今天,人們所看到的亞洲發(fā)展成就,是勤勞智慧的亞洲人民不屈不撓、鍥而不舍奮斗的結(jié)果。
亞洲人民深知,世界上沒(méi)有放之四海而皆準(zhǔn)的發(fā)展模式,也沒(méi)有一成不變的發(fā)展道路,亞洲人民勇于變革創(chuàng)新,不斷開(kāi)拓進(jìn)取,探索和開(kāi)辟適應(yīng)時(shí)代潮流,符合自身實(shí)際的發(fā)展道路,為經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展打開(kāi)了廣闊前景。
In modern times, Asia experienced twists and turns in its development.To change their destiny, the people of Asia have been forging ahead in an indomitable spirit and with hard struggle.Asia's development achievements today are the result of the persistent efforts of the industrious and talented Asian people.The people of Asia are fully aware that there is no ready model or unchanging path of development that is universally applicable.They never shy away from reform and innovation.Instead, they are committed to exploring and finding development paths that are in line with the trend of the times and their own situations, and have opened up bright prospects for economic and social development.13年3月
朝氣蓬勃,充滿活力,豐富多彩的上海是現(xiàn)代中國(guó)的縮影。雖然上海的文化遺跡不能與北京媲美,但是上海迷人的城市風(fēng)貌,風(fēng)格各異的萬(wàn)國(guó)建筑為這座城市注入了無(wú)限的魅力。今日之上海,已經(jīng)成為享譽(yù)中外的國(guó)際大都市。
漫步在這座日新月異的現(xiàn)代大都市里,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)許多精彩的歷史亮點(diǎn),隱現(xiàn)在眾多摩天大樓背后的是上海發(fā)展變化的軌跡。它們記述了上海自十九世紀(jì)末開(kāi)埠以來(lái),尤其是新中國(guó)成立以后,是如何迅猛發(fā)展的。
Shanghai is a dynamic, diverse and stimulating city the very epitome of modern China.Though Shanghai cannot rival Beijing in cultural heritage, its varied architectural styles and cosmopolitan feel give it a charm of its own.Today's Shanghai has become a world-famous international metropolis.A walk through this booming city reveals many glimpses of its colorful past.Hidden amongst the skyscrapers are remains of the original Shanghai.They keep on showing how Shanghai has been developing fast and enormously since its opening as a commercial port in the late 19th century, especially after the founding of new China.13年9月
自古以來(lái),我國(guó)各民族人民勞動(dòng)、生息、繁衍在祖國(guó)的土地上,各民族組之間建立了緊密的政治經(jīng)濟(jì)文化聯(lián)系,早在兩千多年前就形成了幅員遼闊的統(tǒng)一國(guó)家。悠久的中華文化,成為維系民族團(tuán)結(jié)和國(guó)家統(tǒng)一的牢固紐帶。
我們的先人歷來(lái)把獨(dú)立自主作為立國(guó)之本。中國(guó)作為人類文明發(fā)祥地之一,在幾千年的歷史進(jìn)程中,文化傳統(tǒng)始終沒(méi)有中斷。近代中國(guó)雖屢遭列強(qiáng)欺凌,國(guó)勢(shì)衰敗,但經(jīng)過(guò)全民族的百年抗?fàn)?,又以巨人的姿態(tài)重新站立起來(lái)。
From ancient times, our people of all ethnic groups have labored, lived, multiplied on this land, where closely-knitted political, economic and cultural links have been established.As early as two thousand years ago, we have built a unified nation with a vast territory.The long-standing Chinese cultures become a strong bond for ethnic harmony and national unity.Our ancestors were dedicated to the proposition of maintaining independence.As one of the cradles of human civilizations,China has all along maintained its cultural tradition without letup in the history of several thousand years.In modern times, the frequent bullying and humiliation by imperialist powers once weakened China.However, after a hundred year's struggle of the entire Chinese nation, China has stood up again as a giant.14年3月
我們認(rèn)識(shí)到,改革是一場(chǎng)深刻的革命,涉及重大利益關(guān)系調(diào)整,涉及各方面體制機(jī)制完 善。中國(guó)改革已進(jìn)入攻堅(jiān)期和深水區(qū)。這是因?yàn)椋?dāng)前改革需要解決的問(wèn)題格外艱巨,都是難啃的硬骨頭,這個(gè)時(shí)候就要一鼓作氣,瞻前顧后、畏葸不前不僅不能前進(jìn),而且可能前功盡棄。
中國(guó)是一個(gè)大國(guó),決不能在根本性問(wèn)題上出現(xiàn)顛覆性錯(cuò)誤,一旦出現(xiàn)就無(wú)法挽回、無(wú)法彌補(bǔ)。我們的立場(chǎng)是膽子要大、步子要穩(wěn),既要大膽探索、勇于開(kāi)拓,也要穩(wěn) 妥審慎、三思而后行。我們要堅(jiān)持改革開(kāi)放正確方向,敢于啃硬骨頭,敢于涉險(xiǎn)灘,敢于向積存多年的頑瘴痼疾開(kāi)刀,切實(shí)做到改革不停頓、開(kāi)放不止步。
參考譯文:
We perceive the reform as a profound revolution, involving adjustment of relationships among major stakeholders and improvement of multiple systems and mechanisms.China’s reform has entered a phase of toughness and hardness.Confronted with the extraordinary difficulty in addressing problems in reforms, we need to gather all the courage and strength since hesitation will lead to no progress and even the deprivation of what we have accomplished.When it comes to fundamental issues, China, as a country of profound influences, can't afford any subversive mistake, which would be irretrievable upon emerging.We should keep both courageous exploration and prudent actions based on the standpoint of bravery and steady progress.Marching in the correct direction of the reform and opening-up, we should dare to challenge hard nuts, tough situations and longstanding problems so as to achieve the persistence and eternity of the reform and opening-up.14年9月

The Chinese nation is a huge family composed of 56 ethnic groups, all of whom, since ancient times, have labored, lived and multiplied on this vast land so as to offer their wit and might to the splendor of Chinese civilization and the construction of a unified multi-ethnic nation.The long-standing Chinese culture serves to maintain ethnic unity and national unification in a formidable manner.The everlasting and expanding Chinese nation is richly nourished by the Chinese civilization which has undergone the vicissitudes of 5 millenniums, hence forming and passing down the spiritual bond of the country and the nation.As China’s economy and society grows, the Chinese civilization will surely display more vibrant vitality which answers to the call of the times.15年3月
一天王安經(jīng)過(guò)一棵大樹(shù)時(shí),突然有一只小麻雀掉在地上。他決定把它帶回去喂養(yǎng)。走到家門(mén)口,突然想起媽媽不允許他在家里養(yǎng)小動(dòng)物,他悄悄地把小麻雀放在門(mén)后,急忙走進(jìn)屋去,在他的 哀求下媽媽破例答應(yīng)了兒子。
王安興沖沖跑到門(mén)后,不料小麻雀不見(jiàn)了,一只黑貓?jiān)诓潦米彀?。王安為此傷心了很久。從此,他吸取了一個(gè)很大的教訓(xùn):只要自己認(rèn)定的事情,決不可優(yōu)柔寡斷,猶豫不決自然可以減少犯錯(cuò)的可能性,但也會(huì)因此而失去成功的機(jī)遇。
One day Wang An passed under a big tree when a little sparrow fell down, so he decided to take it back home for care.At the doorstep, considering the fact that his mother would not allow keeping pets, he hid the sparrow behind the door secretly and walked in hastily.Unexpectedly, his mother yielded to his imploration.Wang An rushed back in rapture, only to find the sparrow gone and a black cat rubbing its mouth.This incident clouded him for a long time, from which he drew a lesson that there’s no room for hesitation when it comes to a determined plan.Indecision may keep you away from some mistakes, but more likely from the chances of success.15年9月
博鰲,十多年前還是個(gè)鮮為人知的小漁村,現(xiàn)在已成為可以共商亞洲發(fā)展之計(jì)的大平臺(tái)。博鰲是在中國(guó)和亞洲的開(kāi)放發(fā)展中快速成長(zhǎng)起來(lái)的,它的開(kāi)放和變化表明了中國(guó)與亞洲,亞洲與世界的聯(lián)系日益密切。
可以說(shuō),身在博鰲,能“博覽天下,博采眾長(zhǎng)”,博鰲亞洲論壇是一個(gè)立足亞洲、面向世界、開(kāi)放包容的大平臺(tái)。博鰲亞洲論壇在凝聚亞洲共識(shí)、傳播亞洲聲音、促進(jìn)亞洲合作方面發(fā)揮了重要作用,已成為全球最具影響力的經(jīng)濟(jì)論壇之一。
Boao, a rarely-known fishing village just one decade ago, has now evolved into a splendid platform for planning out the Asian blueprint.Maturing amid the advancement of China and Asia at large, its openness and progress sheds light upon the increasingly intimate connection between China and Asia, as well as that between Asia and the world.With its footing in Asia, outlook towards the global and the accommodation for various opinions, Boao presents a worldwide panorama and an inclusion of all-aspect merits.Boao Asia Forum plays a vital role in grouping common grounds, amplifying Asia voice and boosting Asia cooperation, thus constituting one of the most influential economic forums in the world.16年3月
大劇院位于市中心人民廣場(chǎng),建筑風(fēng)格新穎別致,造型優(yōu)美,是本市的一個(gè)標(biāo)志性建筑。大劇院獨(dú)特的建筑風(fēng)格,融匯了東西方的文化韻味。白色弧形拱頂和具有光感的玻璃幕墻有機(jī)結(jié)合,在燈光的烘托下,宛如一個(gè)水晶般的宮殿。大劇院大堂的主要色調(diào)為白色,高雅而圣潔。地面采用舉世罕見(jiàn)的希臘水晶白大理石,圖案形似琴鍵,白色巨型的大理石柱和兩邊的臺(tái)階極富節(jié)奏感,讓人一走進(jìn)大堂就仿佛置身于一個(gè)音樂(lè)的世界。
The Shanghai Grand Theater, located at the People’s Square in the city center, is original and unique in architectural style and graceful in shape, presenting a landmark in Shanghai.The unique architecture is an integration of the cultural appeal of the East and West.The Grand Theater is just like a crystal palace when the lights set off a harmonious entity of the white arc-shaped roof and the photosensitive glass curtain walls.The lobby of the Grand Theater, with the white color as its main tone, symbolizes elegance and purity.The floor is paved with a rare white marble known as the “Greek Crystal”.The design is of the shape of piano keys, and the giant white marble pillars and the stairs on both sides are imbued with a strong sense of rhythm, making people feel as if they were in a world of music the moment they step into the lobby.16年9月

Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival in China bustling with noise and excitement.During the Spring Festival, everything was in a state of preparedness for every family.About ten days before the festival, people began busy preparing special purchases, including new clothes and shoes for the children to embrace the new year.What’s more, people begin decorating their rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity, which include Spring Festival couplets on red paper pasted on the door panels, red paper-cuttings on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings on the wall, as well as red lanterns or the Chinese character ‘Fu’(meaning blessing or happiness)on the front door.The Chinese character ‘Fu’ can be pasted normally or upside down, signifying good futune because in Chinese the “reversed fu” is homophonic with “fu comes”, both being pronounced as “fudaole.”
第四篇:中級(jí)口譯漢譯英真題集
2000.3 中華民族歷來(lái)愛(ài)好自由與和平。中國(guó)人始終希望天下太平,希望同各國(guó)人民友好相處。中國(guó)人民在近代飽受戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和侵略的痛苦,更深感自由與和平的珍貴。任何一個(gè)國(guó)家建設(shè)和發(fā)展,都需要一個(gè)和平穩(wěn)定的國(guó)際國(guó)內(nèi)環(huán)境。任何一個(gè)國(guó)家和民族的自由,都是一切個(gè)人自由的前提和基礎(chǔ)。我們希望各國(guó)人民都生活在沒(méi)有戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和暴力的世界里,希望各國(guó)人民都能享有不被人壓迫、歧視和欺凌的自由。
The Chinese people have been a freedom-and-peace-loving nation.They have always hoped for the world to be at peace and the peoples of various countries to co-exist peacefully.Having suffered from wars and foreign aggression in modern times, the Chinese people treasure freedom and peace all the more.Every nation needs a peaceful and stable international and domestic environment for its construction and development.The freedom of a country or nation is the prerequisite and base of the freedom of any individual.We hope that all nations can live in a world free from war and violence and that people from all parts of the world can enjoy freedom without oppression, discrimination, bullying and humiliation.2000.9 中國(guó)政府在宣布實(shí)行和平統(tǒng)一的方針時(shí),是基于一個(gè)前提,即當(dāng)時(shí)的臺(tái)灣當(dāng)局堅(jiān)持世界上只有一個(gè)中國(guó)、臺(tái)灣是中國(guó)的一部分。同時(shí)中國(guó)政府考慮到美國(guó)政府承認(rèn)了世界上只有一個(gè)中國(guó)、臺(tái)灣是中國(guó)的一部分、中華人民共和國(guó)政府是中國(guó)的唯一合法政府。中國(guó)政府在實(shí)行和平統(tǒng)一方針的同時(shí)始終表明,以何種方式解決臺(tái)灣問(wèn)題是中國(guó)的內(nèi)政,并無(wú)義務(wù)承諾放棄使用武力。
The declaration by the Chinese government to implement the policy of peaceful reunification was based on the prerequisite that the then Taiwan authorities insisted that there is only on China in the world and that Taiwan is a part of China.At the same time, the Chinese government took into consideration the fact that the US government recognized that there is only one China in the world, that Taiwan is a part of China and that the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate government of China.While implementing the policy of peaceful reunification, the Chinese government has all along made it clear that it is an internal affair of China to decide on what method to use to resolve the Taiwan issue and that we have no obligation to commit ourselves to rule out the use of force.2001.3 據(jù)調(diào)查,我國(guó)有40 %的青少年除了課本外不看其他書(shū)籍。對(duì)此,我感到極為震驚。雖然有關(guān)人士聲稱調(diào)查具有科學(xué)性,我仍不敢相信。不過(guò)盡管懷疑,事實(shí)卻是,越來(lái)越多的年輕人在業(yè)余時(shí)間已不再讀書(shū),而是看電視、跳舞、打電子游戲機(jī),或者“侃大山”。高爾基說(shuō)過(guò):“書(shū)籍是人類進(jìn)步的階梯?!北娝苤?,書(shū)籍是人類智慧的結(jié)晶。盡管現(xiàn)代傳媒(如電視、計(jì)算機(jī))在信息的傳播速度上有許多優(yōu)勢(shì),但到目前為止,還沒(méi)有哪一種在傳播知識(shí)的深度方面能取代書(shū)籍。
According to a survey, about 40% of our country's youth do not read any books other than their textbooks.I am shocked at the result.I remain suspicious of the survey, though the people concerned claim it to be scientific.Despite my suspicion, the fact is that more and more young people, instead of reading, spend their spare time watching TV, going to dance parties, playing video games or chitchatting.Gorgy once said: “Books are steps toward human progress.”As we all know, books is a crystallization of human wisdom.Although modern media such as TV and computers enjoy advantages in the speed of information dissemination, so far none of them can replace books in respect of the depth of knowledge being spread.2001.9 本屆會(huì)議將圍繞“新世紀(jì)、新挑戰(zhàn):參與、合作、促進(jìn)共同繁榮”的主題,審議5 個(gè)方面的議題,以期促進(jìn)亞太地區(qū)和全球經(jīng)貿(mào)的發(fā)展。
今年的APEC 會(huì)議將主要側(cè)重兩個(gè)方面:一是加強(qiáng)APEC 成員之間的合作,共同應(yīng)對(duì)可能出現(xiàn)的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退,重樹(shù)信心;二是繼續(xù)推進(jìn)APEC 貿(mào)易投資自由化進(jìn)程,推動(dòng)WTO盡早開(kāi)始新一輪談判。
This year's meeting will, centering round the theme of “Meeting new challenges in the new century: achieving common prosperity through participation and cooperation, review the agenda covering 5 areas with a view to promoting the economic and trade development in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.This year's APEC meeting will focus on 2 key missions: one is to strengthen the cooperation among APEC members in dealing with a possible economic slowdown to build up new confidence;the other is to continue to advance the process of APEC trade and investment liberalization and facilitation and urge the WTO to initiate a new round talks as soon as possible.2002.3 我總以為,在中國(guó)效率最高的會(huì)議要數(shù)學(xué)校召集的家長(zhǎng)會(huì)。家長(zhǎng)會(huì)完全符合 廉政建設(shè)”的要求,與會(huì)的家長(zhǎng)絕不會(huì)像參加行業(yè)、單位的一些會(huì)議,先看看會(huì)議地點(diǎn)是不是設(shè)在風(fēng)景旅游區(qū),會(huì)后發(fā)不發(fā)紀(jì)念品之類,然后方?jīng)Q定是否參加。其他會(huì)議都難得準(zhǔn)時(shí),惟有家長(zhǎng)會(huì)絕對(duì)正點(diǎn)召開(kāi)。在家長(zhǎng)會(huì)上,家長(zhǎng)們個(gè)個(gè)全神貫注地傾聽(tīng)、記錄,生怕漏 一點(diǎn)內(nèi)容。不少會(huì)議都可列入可開(kāi)可不開(kāi)之列,但對(duì)于學(xué)校和家長(zhǎng)而言,家長(zhǎng)會(huì)則是必不可少的。I always believe that the most efficient meeting in China is the parents' meeting called by the school.The parents' meeting, is in full conformity with the requirements for the “building of an honest and clean government”.With respect to meetings organized by a certain trade or the unit where one works, the person wants to know whether the venue of a meeting is in a scenic area frequented by tourists and whether gifts of souvenirs will be handed out after the meeting before he decides whether to go or not to go.But for the parents' meeting, nobody will ever think of that.While other meetings are rarely convened on time, the parents' meeting invariably starts with punctuality.At the parents' meeting, every parent listens and takes notes with rapt attention lest he or she might miss anything.For many meetings,it does not really matter whether they are to be held or not, but to the school and the parents, the parents' meeting is absolutely necessary.2002.9 到2007 年,上海市人均國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值預(yù)計(jì)將達(dá)到7500 美元。這一目標(biāo)的實(shí)現(xiàn),最直接的應(yīng)該是老百姓住得更寬敞、更舒適了。因?yàn)閺氖忻竦摹耙隆⑹?、住、行”消費(fèi)來(lái)講,住房是一個(gè)重要因素,而且占了大頭。屆時(shí),上海人均住房面積將會(huì)大幅增加。除此之外,老百姓的服務(wù)性消費(fèi),如教育、信息、旅游等消費(fèi) 會(huì)大量增長(zhǎng)。用一句話來(lái)表述,那便是未來(lái)老百姓的生活會(huì)更好,那時(shí)老百姓的生活將和中等發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的居民一樣。
The per capita GDP in Shanghai is expected to reach US $7500 by 2007.The common people should benefit most directly from the attainment of this goal.They will live more comfortably in bigger space.Among the basic necessities of life food, clothing,shelter and transportation housing is an important element, accounting for a big portion in the money they spend.In 2007, the average per capita living space in Shanghai will increase by a big margin.In addition,the common people's spending on such services as education, information and traveling will grow substantially.To put it in a nutshell, in the future the common people will live a better life,a life of the same standard as enjoyed by those in the middle-ranking developed countries.2004.3 中華民族歷來(lái)珍惜和平。中國(guó)的崛起,是和平的崛起,是依靠自己力量來(lái)發(fā)展自己。中外關(guān)系中,我們一貫主張以鄰為伴、與人為善,同各國(guó)發(fā)展友好合作關(guān)系。
中國(guó)現(xiàn)在是、今后相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間內(nèi)仍將是一個(gè)發(fā)展中國(guó)家。中國(guó)有13億人口,這是最大的國(guó)情。中國(guó)國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值已居全球第六位,但人均水平卻排在第138位。我們還面臨不容忽視的失業(yè)、貧困和發(fā)展不平衡等問(wèn)題。中國(guó)要趕上發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家,還需要幾代人、十幾代人的艱辛努力。
Chinese nation has always cherished peace.China’s rise, an achievement we accomplished by our own efforts, symbolizes that peace has risen to the dominating position.In getting along with the foreign countries, we consistently adopted the policy of making partnership and being friendly to the neighboring countries with an aim to seek a friendly cooperation with them.China is and will continue, in a quite long time, to be a developing country.China has a population of 1.3 billion, which is the most prominent part in our national conditions.It is then no doubt that China ranks 138th per capita while its GDP totals 6th globally.We are now still facing such serious problems as unemployment, poverty, and unbalanced regional development.To catch up with the developed countries, several, even dozens of generation’s efforts are still expected.2004.9 本公司成立于1988年。經(jīng)過(guò)不斷發(fā)展,目前公司下屬全資專業(yè)從事工程施工的單位有 4家,公司參股的企業(yè)有3家。公司擁有一大批技術(shù)人員和管理人員,其中有中高級(jí)專業(yè)職 稱的占65%。雄厚的技術(shù)力量和科學(xué)的管理為公司的健康發(fā)展奠定了堅(jiān)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)。不斷深化的社會(huì)主義市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)為公司的生存和發(fā)展提供了更大的機(jī)遇和空間。近年 來(lái),公司先 參與承建了一大批上海市重大工程,為建設(shè)國(guó)際大都市作出了應(yīng)有的貢獻(xiàn)。
Our company was established /set up in 1988.Through years of continuous development, it currently has 4 wholly-owned enterprises specializing in engineering and construction and 3 enterprises in which it holds equity interests.Our company has a large number of technical and managerial personnel.Among them 65% hold intermediate and senior professional titles.The strong technical force and scientific management have laid a solid foundation for the healthy development of the company.http://004km.cn/ An ever-growing socialist market economy has provided a bigger opportunity and space for the existence/survival and expansion /development of our company.In recent years/over the years,we have participated in /undertaken the construction of a large number of major projects in shanghai, making our contribution in shaping /building shanghai into an international metropolis.2005.3 有人把香港說(shuō)成是“文化沙漠”。實(shí)際上,香港有著其獨(dú)特的文化氛圍。在 電影制作方面,香港名列世界前茅,其流行歌曲在全球華人中有著廣泛的影響,而且還有8所知名的大學(xué)。
這座城市特殊的歷史和地理因素造就了一種多樣化的文化。每年一度由政府 主辦的藝術(shù)嘉年華為當(dāng)?shù)厮囆g(shù)家展示其獨(dú)創(chuàng)性提供了一個(gè)廣闊的平臺(tái),并鼓勵(lì)更 多人參與文化藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作,為中國(guó)的文華繁榮作出了許多創(chuàng)新和突破。
2005.9 中國(guó)有句古話:“相知無(wú)遠(yuǎn)近,萬(wàn)里尚為鄰”。中國(guó)與亞洲各國(guó)山水相連,共同鑄就了燦爛的亞洲文明;古老而美麗的“絲綢之路”,譜寫(xiě)了中歐千年往來(lái) 的美好篇章。中國(guó)與亞歐各國(guó)的互利合作正在步入一個(gè)全新的階段。中國(guó)已成為 亞歐和世界經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展中的積極力量,我們堅(jiān)定走和平發(fā)展的道路,致力于同亞 歐各國(guó)發(fā)展富有活力和長(zhǎng)期穩(wěn)定的全面合作關(guān)系,與亞歐各國(guó)相互支持,攜手前 進(jìn),共創(chuàng)美好的未來(lái)。
In China, there is an old saying which goes like this, “Long distance never separates close friends.” A ready link connecting this country and many other ones, like the Silk Road, in Asia and Europe helps a lot in bringing about the splendid civilization in Asia and the frequent exchanges and communication between China and the Continent in the past years.Now, we are going a step further in our cooperation based on mutual benefits, enjoying a brand-new bilateral relation.China, a devoted part in promoting the economic development in the 2 continents, will keep her track on the road of peace and development.A corresponding effort made by this country in building a dynamic and long-term cooperation in all fields across Asia and Europe, together with all the other efforts from the 2 continents, will definitely contribute a big part in making the bright future.
