SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH

Knowledge has become a crucial factor in the progress of a country. The systematic application of relevant knowledge to economy makes what we now generally call “knowledge-based economy”. Only through education an d training, which people receive from outside, can the huge volume of information be turned into systematic knowledge.

Knowledge as a factor in production is as old as land and labour. Yet, because of the fast growth and drastic changes of modem knowledge in its integration with economy, industries, science, technology and innovation, "knowledge-based economy" has evolved with overall impacts.

没有哪个年轻人相信他会死。青春有一种永恒的感觉,使人获得了对一切的补偿。年轻人快乐如神仙。上半生的时间虽然一晃而过,可是下半生还在,而且有无限宝藏留着呢,前程远大,希望无穷,未来的时代属于年轻人。“一个广大无边的前景展现在我们面前。”我们环顾周遭世界,它生机勃勃、活泼进步,我们自身也感到精力充沛,精神焕发,与这个世界并驾齐驱。目下没有任何征候会使我们感到有朝一日,自己行将落伍,在万物的自然趋势中渐入老境,终至于掉进墓穴。

"Let me toil a few more years for my son's sake!" he said. It happened afterwards that the house was burned down. And he wanted to go back to his business in order to have the house rebuilt. Then he gave me a lot of building materials and told me what to do with them.

Unfortunately he didn’t' live long enough to see the new house. He told me on his deathbed that he had nothing to feel sorry about. But I knew he would be much happier if he could live a few more years just to see the new house put up. Now I myself am a father of several children. I think of my children as an encumbrance to me.

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

青春不是年华,而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志,恢宏的想象,炙热的情感;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,进取压倒苟安。如此锐气,二十后生而有之,六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,方堕暮年。

岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂。忧烦,惶恐,丧失自信,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。

无论年届花甲,拟或二八芳龄,心中皆有生命之欢乐,奇迹之诱惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰。

SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH

Tourism, a fast developing economic sector over the last two decades in all parts of the world, is now receiving increasing attention among the Chinese public.Many people have written to the press making suggestions for the promotion of tourism in China. It is believed that the development of tourism will help promote mutual understanding and friendship between the people of China and other countries, and facilitate ex-changes in the field of culture, science and technology. Moreover, it will help accumulate funds for China's great cause. Furthermore, the experience of other countries shows that tourism directly and indirectly helps promote the growth of,economic sectors such as communications, commerce, service trades, light industry, arts and crafts industry and urban construction.

它提醒我们,作为一个群体,我们相信什么,不相信什么,需要什么和缺少什么。通过把敌人描绘成“对立面”,描绘成对我们的稳定和我们的秩序和价值观的威胁与危害,我们自愿地集合在一起,顽强抗争,坚决重申我们与自己所属的群体具有同一性。为了使我们自己摆脱来自陌生异己——敌人的威胁,我们进行合作。在合作的过程中我们拥有共同的观点和情感,共同支配财力并自愿面对在正常情况下我们会回避的威胁。我们的敌人迫使我们克制自己,不再自我陶醉于为所有的人谋福祉的冲动和愿望,使我们成为普通人,开化了的人。我们置身于这个仇视异己的群体之中,像优秀的士兵那样服从命令,这是由于我们使自己相信,不这样做我们的生活方式——我们的价值和信念—就会毁灭,我们将不得不全盘接受那些刚被我们排斥为陌生异己的人——敌人的价值、信念和习惯。

SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH

Taiwan is bound to return to the embrace of the motherland eventually. An early settlement of the question would be in the interests of all. The compatriots in Taiwan would be able to live in peace and happiness, the people of all nationalities on

both sides of the Taiwan Straits would no longer have to endure the pains of separation from their own flesh and blood, and the elders in Taiwan and those who moved there from the mainland would all be properly and provided for. And this would contribute to the stability of Asia and the Pacific region as well as to world peace.

The present international situation is capricious. Throughout Taiwan people of all strata are talking about their future. Time does not stay and brief is the day. A long night is fraught with bad dreams: time and tide wait for no man. For the sake of your party, I would think that if you would take up the historical responsibility and, going with the stream, resolutely take part in peace talks for our national reunification as required by time and tide, the two parties would be able to co-exist for a long time to come, supervising each other while joining in glorious efforts to revitalize China. SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

库尼茨自己的作品语言朴实、雅致,他认识到对刻意的指责和对嬉皮士诗人进行改革的重要性。他说:“世界上各式各样的人群对主流诗歌都有所贡献,而这种贡献需要一代代人不断地做出,以使传统本身充满活力。”否则的话,“某些风格、技巧,甚至诗意会趋于僵化和一成不变。”

他解释说,诗人的生活是一个改革的过程。“你必须建立一个全新的自我形象,据此,在作品中创造新的风格、新的飞跃。”

就库尼茨而言,他的改革之一是他所用的语言的改变:他在早期作品中采用的是较拘谨、较规范的语言,而现在的作品中则采用比较简洁的词汇。这种变化“使我能写出更深情的作品,并渗人新的生活领域和思想领域,几乎没有了先前较形式化的风格”。

SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH

Instead of harassing the monks, the tigers voluntarily stood guard at the gate of the temple. As a reward for it, the monks would place some edibles in front of the gate for the tigers to eat. Towards evening, when the setting sun had dyed half of the sky red, the tigers would come up to the gate in groups to eat their fill and then left slipping and jumping. The monks usually left the gate wide open while peacefully engaged in their daily routine of chanting Buddhist scripture inside the temple. Normally none of their came out to watch the tigers eat. Sometimes, however, one or two monks did appear standing at the gate, but the tigers would remain unalarmed and, taking the monks for their friends, did nothing to harm them. They just kept on eating

unhurriedly until they finished and left. Sometimes, when they found,monks at the gate, they would whisk away like the wind after uttering several thunderous roars.

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CIINESE

涉足爱河的青年男女常以爱情为砝码,而他们的父母更愿意他们选择有钱人。在浪漫主义小说里,上述择偶难题常以一种巧妙而圆满的方式得到解决:女主人公开始出身贫寒,竟然在小说结尾摇身一变,成了巨额财富的继承人。然而,在现实生活中,年轻人要是指望这样一种结局,准会大失所望。谨镇的父母一方面认同女儿应该为爱而嫁,一方面却费尽心思,确保她结识的男士非富则贵。这种方法有时也很奏效,我的外祖父堪称典范,他那一大群浪漫纯情的女儿无一嫁给囊中羞涩之徒。

在流行心理分析的今天,这个问题就不再像80年前那么简单了。现在,我们意识到金钱可能是促成真挚爱情的全部或部分原因,历史上亦不乏家喻户晓的例子。

SECTION A CEIINFSE TO ENGLISH

Nevertheless, scholars and historical commentators in each dynasty often singled out a few occurrences which they considered to be chiefly responsible for the collapse of the old regime. Sometimes they went so far as to announce that except for a certain incident,the dynastic change would never have occurred. Thus, quite a few Qing scholars attributed the fall of the Ming dynasty to Emperor Chongzhen's execution of his ablest general,Yuan Chonghuan. On the other hand, popular writers often blamed the Manchu occupation of China on a beautiful woman named Chen Yuanyuan-a mere singing girl bought for a thousand taels of silver to become the concubine of Wu Sangui,garrison commander of the strategic Shanhai Pass.

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

相信乃是一种比怀疑和猜忌都快乐的心态。我就是本著這個信念做人处世的,因为我若不信任他人,谁又会信任我?我宁可信任一千个人,不管是朋友

或陌生人,且我宁可有九百九十九十九個人辜负我,我也不愿对人不信任。即

使众人辜负我,我只会記得自己曾辜负了多少人。

这并非意味着感情用事的盲目相信是理性而又值得做的,那是对不诚实及

邪恶的人所谓的“容忍”。总有一些黑暗的角落,在这里任凭你怎么和蔼讲理

都是不起作用的。相信別人应该擦亮双眼,有明确的判断力。但你的判断结果

若是负面而非正面的话,那也没有理由就此便一直心存怀疑。

別人有什么样的心地、所悲何为、做何斗争、为何绝望、有何动机,這些

都是我们无法了解的。我门周遭的芸芸众生並非个个都会成大器,但這些芸芸

众生中只要有一个成大器就够了。

SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLLSH

In extended families, older member's opinion was respected, and the youngest members are loved and taken good care of by all. China's constitution stipulates that grown-up children are duty-bound to support their parents. In the cities, couples who do not live with their aged parents give the latter living allowances and help them with the house chores. In the countryside, though quite a number of extended families have dissolved, many married sons and their families continue to live in the same courtyard with their parents. To them, breaking up the extended family means cooking their meals separately. Married sons most often have their houses built near their parents’ home, making it convenient for parents and children to help and visit each other as be-fore.

SECTION B ENGLLSH TO CHINESE

承蒙如此推祟,不胜荣幸。只是我素来不惯于贵上的恩踢,实在不知道如何领情,或以何言辞来答谢。

当初受到些许鼓励,造访大人时,我一如其余万民百姓,为您富有魅力的谈吐所折服,不禁奢望能自诩。我虽然目睹举世之人为博得大人眷顾,竟相争斗,却仍不免奢望自己或可身受大人关切;不料晋渴之后,竟未得丝毫鼓励,自尊自惭之心,不容我再次登门。我是个闲散书生,不善奉承,以前当众向大人致意时,实已竭尽了取宠之能事,我已做了所能做的一切;然而倾全力而遭冷遇,世上决不会有人引以为乐的,即使你所做的微乎其微。

SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH

Yes, money makes the world go around. The availability of funds is a must in promoting the arts and culture. Yet money is not the only answer. The mentality of the nouveau-riche --money will buy us the arts that we want -- is an attitude that we should guard against.

Sure, money can buy the artworks of late master painters such as Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi and Li Keran, but can you use it to “clone” Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi or Li Keran?

And if you neither appreciate nor treasure Xu Beihong's famous paintings of horses, you might as well buy some real horses instead.

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

我感到这份奖赏不是授予我个人而是授予我的工作的---授予我一生从事关于人类精神的呕心沥血的工作。我从事这项工作,不是为名,更不是为利,而是为了从人的精神原料中创造出一些从前不曾有过的东西。因此,这份奖金只不过是托我保管而已。要做出与这份奖赏原本的目的和意义相符,又与其奖金等价的献词并不困难,但我还愿意利用这个时刻,利用这个举世瞩目的讲坛,向那些可能听到我说话并已献身于同一艰苦劳动的男女青年致敬。他们中肯定有人有一天也会站到我现在站着的地方来。

我们今天的悲剧是人们普遍存在一种生理上的恐惧,这种恐惧存在已久,以致我们已经习惯了。

The woman was very good at commending: her orders were all couched in soft-toned imperative sentences. However, it simply wasn't right, I thought, for her to ask her husband to do everything. But to these orders of hers, he never said a word of “No”, nor did he reveal any sign of impatience. On the contrary, his response showed that he was as meek as a lamb, seeming to regard it as a great pleasure to busy his head of for his slave master. Therefore,I came to the conclusion that his wife must be a great beauty, for beautiful women without exception stuck up imagining them-selves noble princesses.

但是,美国人是一个静不下来的民族,他们随时都愿搬家,所以,尽管他们喜欢郊区生活,他们也决不会就此停下自己的追求。只要事业有所进步,收入有所提高,他们会很快就到更好的社区,去寻找面积更大、景色更美和游泳池更大更好的住处。他也许会恋着这个暂时的家,但这并不意味着他们会把根扎在那里。今天的工作、今天的收人、今天的家以及今天的朋友和邻居:所有这些都只是一个美国人(和他的家庭)存在的一部分。速溶咖啡,瞬间的朋友—没有什么被看成是永恒的。美国人总是希望和期盼着改变现状,以求更好;并且,美国人发现与新事物打交道并不困难。

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.

苍天之下,千百万尚未出生的人的命运将取决于我们这支军队的勇气和斗志。敌人残酷无情,我们别无选择,要么奋起抵抗,要么屈膝投降。因此,我们必须下定决心,若不克敌制胜,就是捐躯疆场。

我们的荣誉,祖国的荣誉,要求我们进行英勇顽强的奋斗,如果我们做不到这一点,我们将感到羞愧,并将为全世界所不齿。所以,让我们凭借我们事业的正义性和上帝的恩助——胜利掌握在他手中——激励和鼓舞我们去创造伟大而崇高的业绩。全国同胞都注视着我们,如果我们有幸为他们效劳,将他们从企图强加于他们的暴政中解救出来,我们将得到他们的祝福和赞颂。让我们互相激励,互相鼓舞,并向全世界昭示,在自己国土上为自由而斗争的自由人民胜过世上任何受人驱使的雇佣军。

Hardly none of them would spare some time to raise their eyes to have a glance at the beautiful dusk. They are, perhaps, taking use of every minute to enjoy their last chew before being driven home. This is a picture of the Yellow River bank, in which the shepherd disappears, and no one knows where he is resting himself. Only the sheep, however, as free creatures, are joyfully appreciating the dusk. The exuberant water plants have nutrited the sheep, making them grow as fat as balls. When approaching near, you would find their lily-white teeth and a variety of innocent facial impressions.

一、The old gentleman, however, seemed cheerful enough; and it was plain that he took an interest in the strangers, and wished to make their acquaintance. This was soon effected by the friendly waiter; and after a little talk the old man invited them to visit his villa and garden which were just outside the walls of the town. So the next afternoon, when the sun began to descend, and they saw in glimpses through door-ways and windows, blue shadows beginning to spread over the brown mountains, they went to pay their visit. It was not much of a place, a small, modernized, stucco villa, with a hot pebbly garden, and in it a stone basin with torpid gold-fish, and a statue of Diana and her hounds against the wall. But what gave a glory to it was a gigantic rose-tree which clambered over the house, almost smothering the windows, and filling the air with the perfume of its sweetness. Yes, it was a fine rose, the Conte said proudly when they praised it, and he would tell the Signora about it. And as they sat there, drinking the wine he offered them, he alluded with the cheerful indifference of old age to his love-affair, as though he took for granted that they had heard of it already. 译文: 然而,这位老先生看起来心情非常愉快;显然他对这两位陌生人很感兴趣,并愿意与他们结交.在热心的服务生的帮助下,他们很快相识了;短暂的交谈之后,老人便邀请他们去他城墙外不远的别墅与花园做客. 于是次日下午,夕阳西落,从开启的门窗轻轻瞥去,他们看到,兰色暗影已渐渐笼罩棕褐的山峦,他们便欣然动身。那里很平常,矗立着一座现代化小型别墅座,表面粉刷了一层灰泥。还有一座铺满鹅卵石的花园,园里石砌水池中有几尾金鱼慵懒地游动。靠墙的地方有一尊守猎女神及其猎犬的雕像。但是使这小园生辉的是一颗巨大的玫瑰树。树已长过屋顶,几乎完全遮住了窗户。空气中满是玫瑰的芳香。这株玫瑰的确不错,听了客人夸奖,伯爵得意地说。他还表示非常乐意把树的来历讲给夫人听。于是他们坐在那里,一边饮酒,一边听他以老年人满不在乎神情,愉快地提及他的那一段往日爱情,仿佛他相信他们对此一定早有耳闻 二、We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series. There is always a new horizon for onward-looking men, and although we dwell on a small planet, immersed in petty business and not enduring beyond a brief period of years, we are so constituted that our hopes are inaccessible, like stars, and the term of hoping is prolonged until the term of life. To be truly happy is a question of how we begin and not of how we end, of what we want and not of what we have. 参考译文:

专八翻译 第一部分汉译英 1.2000年试题 中国科技馆的诞生来之不易。与国际著名科技馆和其他博物馆相比,它先天有些不足,后天也常缺乏营养,但是它成长的步伐却是坚实而有力的。它在国际上已被公认为后起之秀。 世界上第一代博物馆属于自然博物馆,它是通过化石、标本等向人们介绍地球和各种生物的演化历史。第二代博物馆属于工业技术博物馆,它所展示的是工业文明带来的各种阶段性结果。这两代博物馆虽然起到了传播科学知识的作用,但是,它们把参观者当成了被动的旁观者。 世界上第三代博物馆是充满全新理念的博物馆。在这里,观众可以自己去动手操作,自己细心体察。这样,他们可以更贴近先进的科学技术,去探索科学技术的奥妙。 中国科技馆正是这样的博物馆。它汲取了国际上一些著名博物馆的长处,设计制作了力学、光学、电学、热学、声学、生物学等展品,展示了科学的原理和先进的科技成果。 The first generation museums of sciences are those devoted to natural history, which show through fossils and specimens the evolutionary changes of the earth and organisms. Those of the second generation are museums of industrial technology exhibiting achievements made in various periods of the industrial age. These two types of museums, while functioning as disseminators of scientific knowledge, treat their visitors as mere viewers. Science museums of the third generation are entirely different from their predecessors. They stress visitor participation, encouraging those interested to make detailed study of the exhibits on their own by trying their hands on them. The experience so gained will enable them to understand advanced technologies better and help them in their quest for what is still unknown in science (陶文好李孚声,《2000年英语专业八级汉译英词汇误译心理认知分析》,《上海科技翻译》,2001年第1期第36-41页) 2.2001年试题 乔羽的歌大家都熟悉。但他另外两大爱好却鲜为人知,那就是钓鱼和喝酒。 晚年的乔羽喜爱垂钓,他说:“有水有鱼的地方大都是有好环境的,好环境便会给人好心情。我认为最好的钓鱼场所不是舒适的、给你准备好饿鱼的垂钓园,而是那极其有吸引力的大自然野外天成的场所。”钓鱼是一项能够陶冶性情的运动,有益于身心健康。乔羽说:“钓鱼可分三个阶段:第一阶段是吃鱼;第二阶段是吃鱼和情趣兼而有之;第三阶段主要是钓趣,面对一池碧水,将忧心烦恼全都抛在一边,使自己的身心得到充分休息。” 译文 1 In his later years (Late in his life), Qiao Yu has become enamored of fishing (developed a penchant / special fondness for fishing). He asserts: “Mostly speaking, a place with water and fish must necessarily be blessed with a nice setting, which in return keeps people in good mood. I believe that the optimum fishing places are not those commercial fishing centers which provide the fishermen with all the conveniences and where fish are kept hungry for ready capture, but those naturally-formed places in the wilderness w hich exert a special appeal.” According to him, fishing can constitute an activity conducive to the cultivation of one’s

The town collected to see them depart, and the children ran after their carriage through the gate of the little city. They heard a rush of feet behind them for a few moments, but soon they were far down towards the valley; the little town with all its noise and life was high above them on its mountain peak. She had planted the rose at home, where it had grown and flourished in a wonderful manner; and every June the great mass of leaves and shoots still broke out into a passionate splendour of scent and crimson colour, as if in its root and fibres there still burnt the anger and thwarted desire of that Italian lover. Of course the old Conte must have died many years ago; she had forgotten his name, and had even forgotten the name of the mountain city that she had stayed in, after first seeing it twinkling at dawn in the sky, like a nest of stars. 参考译文: 次日,他们的马车修好了,上山来接他们。在就要离开旅馆之际,伯爵的老仆赶来了,送来一根包扎整齐的玫瑰枝条,并转达了伯爵旅途愉快的祝福。小城中的居民都赶来目送他们离去,孩童们也追随在车子后面,一直跟到小城门外。开始他们还能听到身后散乱的脚步声,但不久车子便驶入山谷,而这座喧闹的小城依然高高耸立于他们头顶的山颠. 她把玫瑰种在家中.玫瑰的长势非常好,枝繁叶茂;每年六月,在片片绿叶与新芽之中,绽放出绚丽的红花,散发出浓郁的香味,仿佛它的根须之间依旧燃烧着那位意大利情人的愤怒与没能实现的渴望。当然老伯爵肯定早已去世多年;而她也记不起他的名字了,甚至连她所住过的那座小城的名字也忘记了,虽然她曾经在拂晓之时看它犹如满天的繁星在空中闪烁。

2013汉译英 生活像一杯红酒,热爱生活的人会从中品出无穷的美妙。Life is like a cup of wine;people who love it discover inexhaustible wonders from it. 将它握在手中观察,它的暗红有血的感觉,那正是生命的痕迹。Hold in the hand and gaze at it,the dark red color is reminiscent of the blood,which is the impress of life.抿一口留在口中回味,它的甘甜有一丝苦涩,如人生一般复杂迷离。Take a sip of it and appreciate the taste,the bittersweet flavor is exactly the same with life,which is complicated and blurred. 喝一口下肚,余香润人心肺,让人终受益。Once the sip is swallowed,the lingering fragrance pleases the heart and refreshes the mind,leaving a person lifelong benefit. 红酒越陈越美味,生活越丰富越美好。There was a remarkable resemblance between life and wine:the taste becomes more delicious as the wine mellows,just as life gets better as it becomes more abundant. 当人生走向晚年,就如一瓶待开封的好酒,其色彩是沉静的,味道中充满慷慨于智慧。 When life comes to twilight years,it looks calm and tastes full of wisdom and generosity,just like a bottle of wine to be savored. 英译汉 联合国代表大会,中心政治论坛,由193个成员国组成,几乎包括世界上所有国家,其中三分之二的国家为发展中国家,占世界总人口的四分之三。通过决议非常困难,尤其是所有惯例决出的协议必须达成一致才能通过。结果就是,重要的协议总是被狭隘的特殊利益所挟持,并且大部分协议都只是用来使自己的利益最大化。但真正的问题是世界上主要国.是否愿意看到民主最大限度地开展。联合国安理会,负责和平和安全,处理最重要的政治问题。安理会只有15个成员国,所以能经常性地应付危机。它曾一度由于冷战对立而停摆,但已经重新获得了联合国宪章给予的权利。 2012汉译英 痛苦纠聚心中,眉心发烫发热,胸口郁闷难展,胃里一股气冲喉而上。院长说这孩子发育迟缓时,她更是心头无绪。她在孩子所待的房里来回踱步,这房里还有其他小孩。整个房间只有一扇窗,窗外树影婆娑。就让孩子留下来吧,这里有善心的神父和修女,这里将来会扩充为有医疗作用的看护中心,这是留住孩子最好的地方。这孩子是她的秘密,她将秘密留在这树林掩映的建筑里。 Tortured by the pains gathering in her heart, she felt something was burning between her eyebrows. Her chest was brimmed with depression which was likely to run out of her throat at any moment. She could not think clearly any longer when the headmaster told her that the child suffered from developmental retardation. She strode up and down in the room where her child stayed with other pals. There was only one window in the room, out of which some shady trees were whispering. ―Just leave it here‖, she told herself, ―This is the best choice by far, for there are kind priests and nuns in this place which may also be renovated into a Medicare center‖. The chi ld was her secret which would be kept in the buildings behind the woods. 英译汉But such policies seem instead to have created the conditions for even more campus violence. Some college students who previously drank in bars and lounges under the watchful supervision of bouncers(夜总会,就把等保安人员)(not to mention owners eager to keep their liquor licenses)now retreat to the sanctuary of their fraternity houses and apartments, where they no longer control their behavior their drinking. The boomerang effect has also played a role in attempts to reduce the availability of illicit drugs. During recent years, the federal government has been quite successful in reducing the supply of street drugs. As fields are burned and contraband(违禁品) confiscated, the price of street drugs has skyrocketed to a point where cheap alternatives have begun to compete in the marketplace. Unfortunately, the cheap alternatives are even more harmful than the illicit drugs they replace. 然而上述政策反而引发了更多的校园暴力。一些大学生先前在夜总会的酒吧买醉,处于保安人员严密的监控之下(酒吧老板们为了保住自己卖酒的牌照也不会允许过激的事情发生)。现在,大学生们躲到他们互助会会所和公寓中酗酒,对自己饮酒的 数量或行为都不再控制。政府在打击非法毒品方面采取的措施同样适得其反。近年来,联邦政府已经有效地抑制了街头毒品买卖。警方捣毁了很多毒品种植地,没收了违禁品,导致毒品的价格暴涨,那些便宜的替代品因此也有了竞争力。糟糕的是,那些便宜的替换品带来的危害甚至比他们所替代的毒品更大。 2011:汉译英原文现代社会无论价值观的持有还是生活方式的选择都充满了矛盾。而最让现代人感到尴尬的是,面对重重矛

英语专业八级考试翻译历年真题汇总 1998年E-C: I agree to some extent with my imaginary English reader. American literary historians are perhaps prone to view their own national scene too narrowly, mistaking prominence for uniqueness. They do over-phrase their own literature, or certainly its minor figures. And Americans do swing from aggressive over phrase of their literature to an equally unfortunate, imitative deference. But then, the English themselves are somewhat insular in their literary appraisals. Moreover, in fields where they are not pre-eminent — e. g. in painting and music —they too alternate between boasting of native products and copying those of the Continent. How many English paintings try to look as though they were done in Paris; how many times have we read in articles that they really represent an “English tradition” after all. To speak of American literature, then, is not to assert(断言、声称)that it is completely unlike that of Europe. Broadly speaking, America and Europe have kept step(同步). At any given moment(在任何时候) the traveler could find examples in both of the same architecture, the same styles in dress, the same books on the shelves. Ideas have crossed the Atlantic as freely as men and merchandise, though sometimes more slowly. When I refer to American habit, thoughts, etc., I intend some sort of qualification(限制、限定、资格) to precede(领先、超前) the word, for frequently the difference between America and Europe (especially England) will be one of degree(唯一只是在程度上), sometimes only of a small degree. The amount of divergence(分歧、差异) is a subtle (微妙的)affair, liable(有可能的) to perplex the Englishman when he looks at America. He is looking at a country which in important senses (重要的感觉)grew out of his own, which in several ways still resembles his own — and which is yet a foreign country. There are odd overlappings and abrupt unfamiliarities; kinship(亲缘关系) yields to a sudden alienation(疏远关系), as when we hail(打招呼) a person across the street, only to discover from his blank(没有表情的) response that we have mistaken a stranger for a friend. 参考译文(翻译第二段): 因此,我们在说“美国”文学,并不表明我们认为美国文学与欧洲文学截然不同。一般来说,美国和欧洲一直在同步发展。无论何时,旅游者在两地都能看到同一式的建筑,见到

英语专业八级翻译练习题 1.英译汉 1) Possession for its own sake or in competition with the rest of the neighborhood would have been Thoreau's idea of the low levels. The active discipline of heightening one's perception of what is enduring in nature would have been his idea of the high. What he saved from the low was time and effort he could spend on the high. Thoreau certainly disapproved of starvation, but he would put into feeding himself only as much effort as would keep him functioning for more important efforts. Effort is the gist of it. There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging difficulties. Short of the impossible, as Yeats put it, the satisfaction we get from a lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties. Robert Frost was thinking in something like the same terms when he spoke of "The pleasure of taking pains". The mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be effortless. We demand difficulty even in our games. We demand it because without difficulty there can be no game. A game is a way of making something hard for the fun of it. The rules of the game are an arbitrary imposition of difficulty. When someone ruins the fun, he always does so by refusing to play by the rules. It is easier to win at chess if you are free, at your pleasure, to change the wholly arbitrary rules, but the fun is in winning within the rules. No difficulty, no fun. 梭罗所理解的"低层次",即为了拥有而去拥有,或与所有的邻居明争暗斗而致拥有。他心目中的"高层次",则是这样一种积极的人生戒律,即要使自己对自然界永恒之物的感悟臻于完美。对于他从低层次上节省下来的时间和精力,他可将其致力于对高层次的追求。勿庸置疑,梭罗不赞成忍饥挨饿,但他在膳食方面所投入的精力仅果腹而已,只要可确保他能去从事更为重要的事务,他便别无所求。 殚精竭虑,全力以赴,便是其精髓所在。除非我们愿意直面那些需要我们全身心投入的艰难困苦,否则便不会有幸福可言。正如叶芝所言,除却某些不可能的情形,我们于人生中所获取的满足皆取决于我们在多高的境界中选择我们所愿意面对的艰难困苦。当罗伯特弗罗斯特言及"以苦为乐"时,他内心所思,大体如此。商业广告中所宣扬的那种幸福观,其致命的缺陷就在于这样一个事实,即它宣称,一切幸福皆唾手可得,不费吹灰之力。 即便于游戏之中,我们也需要有艰难困苦。我们之所以需要它,因为设若没有困难,便断无游戏可言。游戏即是这样一种方式,为了享受其中的情趣而人为地使事情变得不那么轻而易举。游戏中的种种规则,便是将困难武断地强加于人。当有人将情趣摧毁殆尽时,他总是因为拒不按游戏规则行事而使然。这犹如下棋;如果你随心所欲、心血来潮地去更改那些全然武断的游戏规则,这样去赢棋当然会更加容易。但下棋的情趣则在于,应在规则的限定范围内赢取胜利。一言以蔽之,没有艰难,断无情趣。 2)

Hardly none of them would spare some time to raise their eyes to have a glance at the beautiful dusk. They are, perhaps, taking use of every minute to enjoy their last chew before being driven home. This is a picture of the Yellow River bank, in which the shepherd disappears, and no one knows where he is resting himself. Only the sheep, however, as free creatures, are joyfully appreciating the dusk. The exuberant water plants have nutrited the sheep, making them grow as fat as balls.

英语专八翻译及答案

1999年:In some societies people want children for what might be called familial reasons: to extend the family line or the family name, to propitiate the ancestors; to enable the proper functioning of religious rituals involving the family. Such reasons may seem thin in the modern, secularized society but they have been and are powerful indeed in other places. In addition, one class(一类) of family reasons shares a border(接壤、相近)with the following category, namely, having children in order to maintain or improve a marriage: to hold the husband or occupy(使…忙(有事干)the wife; to repair or rejuvenate the marriage; to increase the number of children on the assumption(设想、假设consumption 消费)that family happiness lies that way. The point is underlined(突出、显现)by its converse(反面、相反): in some societies the failure to bear children(养孩子)(or males) is a threat to the marriage and a ready cause for divorce. Beyond all that(除了这些)is the profound(深刻的、深远的)significance of children to the very institution(结构)of the family itself. To many people, husband and wife alone do not seem a proper family(完整的)—they need children to enrich the circle(丰富家庭生活、拓宽生活圈子), to validate(使…有效)its family character(家族的特征、风格), to gather(增加、集合)the redemptive(赎回的, 用于补偿的)influence of offspring. Children need the family, but the family seems also to need children, as the social institution(社会结构)uniquely(唯一)available, at least in principle, for (获得)security, comfort, assurance, and direction in a changing, often hostile world. To most people, such a home base, in the literal sense, needs more than one person for sustenance(生计)and in generational extension(家族的繁衍). 【参考答案】另外,有一类家庭原因与下列类别不无共同之处,那就是:生儿育女要么是为了维系现有婚姻,提高婚姻质量,要么是为了拴住丈夫,使妻子有所事事,要么是为了修复婚姻,给婚姻注入新的活力,亦或是出于多子多福的观念而多生儿女。当然,我们也可以从问题的反面得到昭示:在某些社会,无法生育子嗣(或不能生育男孩)对婚姻而言是最大的威胁,也可作为夫妻分手的现成理由。 后代对家庭这一体制本身所具有的深远意义远非如此。在许多人看来,丁克家庭算不上真正的家庭。夫妻需要孩子来拓宽自己的生活圈子,实现家庭在传宗接代中的作用,并从子孙后代身上获取某种回报。在这个变幻莫测,常常不尽友善的世界上,家庭作为社会的基本单位,至少可在原则上,以其独特方式为家人提供安全保障,抚慰家人受伤的心灵,为家人指出生活方向,因此,孩子需要家庭,但与此同时,家庭也需要孩子。
