We Are What We Choose
选择塑造人生——杰夫·贝索斯
Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy — they're given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not careful, and if you do, it'll probably be to the detriment of your choices.
聪明是一种天赋，而善良是一种选择。天赋得来很容易——毕竟它们与生俱来。而选择却颇为艰难。如果一不小心，你可能被天赋所诱惑，这可能会损害到你做出的选择。
Never Tiring, Never Yielding, Never Finishing
永不疲惫，永不气馁，永不完竭——乔治·布什
Never tiring, never yielding, never finishing, we renew that purpose today; to make our country more just and generous; to affirm the dignity of our lives and every life.永不疲惫，永不气馁，永不完竭，今天我们重树这样的目标：使我们的国家变得更加公正、更加慷慨，去体现我们每个人和所有人生命的尊严。
“死了都要爱”，美过百夫妇生死相随，相继过世仅隔两天。国人最忌讳“死”字，如何用英语委婉的表达？
1. pass away / pass on
暗指过世。
2. lose one's life
一般指由于意外事故、战争等不可抗力而造成的死亡，为意外死亡。
3. depart
depart 也是死亡的委婉说法，意思是灵魂离开了肉体的存在去往另一个世界了。
4. expire
expire的意思是呼气，这里引申为呼出最后一口气，暗指死亡。
5.go to meet one’s Maker
注意这个Maker要大写，有造物主的意思，所以去见造物主了就是灵魂回归了，也就是死亡的委婉说法，就像我们也会说某人“去见马克思了”。
今天有同事问我关于人山人海的英文翻译，说了一句People mountain, people sea，我觉得非常好笑，那到底应该怎样翻译才对呢？
的确，在现实生活中，有不少英语学习者发现在交际过程中有时不能很好地表达自己的思想或理解别人的情感，会闹出不少笑话的Chinglish (中国式英语)。
错误案例A：按字面意思一个一个翻译
比如像我们从小就提倡的口号：“好好学习，天天向上。”有的翻译成：“Good good study，day day up.”正确应为：Study well and make progress every day.
像我们的成语：“马马虎虎”，有人就翻译成“Horse horse，tiger tiger.”正确应为：Just so so , not too bad.
还有“人山人海”被翻译成：“People mountain, people sea.”
五花八门，笑话百出。
1. 人山人海：在诗词用语（poetic expression）里，英美人也有使用：“a (the) sea of faces”，颇有咱的“人山人海”的味道。例如：
Looking out upon the sea of faces, Mr. A delivered a touching speech.
（望着一片人山人海的听众，A先生发表一篇动人的演说。）
Standing at his podium, President Clinton saw a sea of faces waving at him.（克林顿总统站在讲台上看到人山人海的人群挥手向他致意。）。
可见，说话者通常要在台上或高处，才有“人海”的感觉。因此，可以说：“I saw a sea of faces from the top of the building. ”但在平地的人群中，就不说：“I saw the sea of faces.” 也不说：“There is a sea of faces.”只说：“I saw a large crowd of people.”
2、家家有本难念的经：有人译成：“Every family cooking-pot has a black spot.”（意思是：每个家庭的锅子都有黑色的污点。）这样说法，英美人恐怕不能充分了解。不过英美人最常见的说法是：“Many families have skeletons in the closet.（许多家庭的衣柜里都有骨骸，骨骸就是指家丑。）”；或者说：“Every family has its own source of shame.（每个家庭都有自己的丑事）”；说白些，就是：“Every family has its own problem.”
3、天下无不散的宴席：有人直译为：“There are no feasts in the world which do not break up at last.” 英美人听后，也许很难体会其中意义。如果按照美语说法，也许更易理解：“All goo d things come to an end.（意思是：所有好的事情，总有结束的一天。）”；假如是指好友最后也有分别的一天，那么可以说：“Eventually, all bosom friends will drift apart.（bosom friend
是指知心的好友）”
4、平时不烧香，临时抱佛脚：有人照字面意思直译为：“When times are easy, we do not burn the incense, but when the trouble comes, we embrace the feet of the Buddha.”这种说法，英美人也会一知半解。美语里一般说法是：“Worship God every day; not just in times of adversity.（要每天敬拜神，不是只在困难时。）”；对学生也可以说：“If you study hard every day, exams will not seem overwhelming.（如果你每天用功，考试就不会形成压力。）”
5、挂羊头，卖狗肉：有人照字直译为：“He advertises mutton, but sells dog’s flesh.”或“He hangs up a sheep’s head at the shop front and sells dog meat.”这两种译法，恐怕英美人都难理解，尤其谈到“狗肉”，他们更会反感，因为狗是他们最爱的宠物，不过英美人倒有相近的说法：“He applied bait-and-switch tactics in business.（他经商的策略是先引诱顾客来，再改变货物的品质。）”，“Bait-and-switch”当名词用，也可不用连字号“This store uses bait and switch policy.” 或者简单的说：“Let the buyer be aware!（让消费者提高警觉）”或“Say one thing and do another.”也有翻译为After praising the wine they sell us vinegar.
6、一言既出，驷马难追：有人译成：“One word lets slip and four horses will fail to catch it. 或
A statem ent that once let loose cannot be caught by four galloping horses.”这两种说法，中文味道嫌重，英美人未必理解。不过他们倒有类似的说法：“A word once let go cannot be recalled.”或者说：“You cannot take back what you have said.（你说出的话，就不能再收回来。）”
7、祸从口出，言多必失：有人译为：“The mouth is the gate of misfortune and evil.”英美人听了，恐怕不能完全理解。最好说成：“Careless talk leads to trouble.（不小心说话，会带来麻烦）或“The less said the better.（说的愈少愈好）”甚至也可以说：“Shut the mouth and open the eyes.（闭嘴少说，张眼多看。）”
感受英语思维3步曲
A.汉语与美语思维逻辑图
我们国内的朋友在学英语的时候，总是说得不地道，那么问题出在哪里呢？是我们没有用英语的思维去思考。下面就给大家展示英语思维的真谛：
中国人讲汉语时的逻辑线图：
我们的思维逻辑往往会把一句话中最重要的意念放在最后面来说；而正确的英语思维是要把一句话中最重要的意念放到最前面来说，如下图：
【图中线条表示一句话，圆圈表示该句话中最重要的意念】
就两种不同的思维方式，下面举个例子：在小红家，她爸爸给我们讲了一个故事。
那么让我们来分析一下这句话，这句话中最重要的意念是什么呢？最重要的意念应该是她爸爸给我们讲故事，所以按照英文的正确逻辑我们应该把一句话中最重要的东西放在最前面来讲：Alice's father told us a story at her home.
而我们有好多朋友的trouble 往往是用汉语逻辑去组织语言，所以我们出现了这样的句子：At Alice's home, her father told us a story.
B. 重要意念先行，修饰部分置后
在我们简短的口语交流中，我们倡导的原则是：“The simpler, the better”越简单越好，即：用最简单的语言表达出你细腻的感情。
老外往往表达很简单意念的时候，他们会把最主要的意念放在前面，修饰的部分放在后面。
例如有一次，我在美国跟外国同事打招呼的时候，我说：Hi, where are you going for lunch? 他的回答很简单，他说：“Someplace good.” 请注意，“someplace”是主要的部分，“good”是修饰部分，放在后面。
好，现在大家应该对我上面解析的逻辑比较了解了，那么以后再听到老外问你“Where are you going for lunch/supper/breakfast?”你要是想回答去一个便宜一点的地方，你应该怎么说呢？对，比较正宗的应该是“Someplace cheap.”
我们说英语的时候经常有这样的错误句子，如这句话：今天我要给大家讲很多有意思的事情。一些中国朋友便会翻成：I am going to tell you a lot of interesting stories.
那么按照英语的思维逻辑应该翻成：I am gonna tell you lots of things interesting. 这里先把主要的东西说出来，再把修饰部分“interesting” 放在后面。
好了，今天就和大家分享这些．
4英语翻译技巧-直、音、意译
英语翻译方法：直译与意译 这里所讲翻译方法是指通过英、汉两种语言特点对比，分析其异同，阐述表达原文的一般规律。英、汉语结构有相同一面，汉译时可照译，即所谓“直译”——既忠实原文内容，又符合原文结构形式,能传达原文意义，体现原文风格等。但这两种语言之间还有许多差别，如完全照译，势必出现“英化汉语”，这时就需要“意译”，在忠实原文内容前提下，摆脱原文结构束缚，使译文符合汉语规范。特别要注意是：“直译”不等于“死译”，“意译”也不等于“乱译”。试比较： 1、直译与死译 原文结构与汉语结构是一致，照译即可。但如果原文结构与汉语不一致，仍然采取直译方法，就成“死译”了。如： ①、In some automated plants electronic computers control the entire production line. 在某些自动化工厂，电子计算机控制整个生产线。（直译） ②、The earth acts like a big magnet．地球作用着像一块大磁铁。（死译） ③、Manganese has the same effect on the strength of steel as silicon. 锰有同样影响在强度上像硅。（死译） 例②、例③既不忠实原意，又不符合汉语表达方式。因此，必须运用“词类转换”广成分转换”、“词（语）序调整”等手段使译文通顺。例②、例③应分别译为：“地球作用像一块大磁铁。”…“锰像硅一样会影响钢强度。” 2、意译和乱译 只有在正确理解原文基础上，运用相应翻译方法以调整原文结构，用规范汉语加以表达，这才真正做到“意译”。翻译实践证明，大量英语句子汉译都要采取“意译法”。 如果把“意译”理解为凭主观臆想来理解原文，可以不分析原文结构，只看词面意义，自己编造句子，势必造成“乱译”。如： It is easy to compress a gas，it is just a matter of reducing the space between the molecules. Like a liquid a gas has no shape，but unlike a liquid it will expand and fill any container it is put in.气体是很容易压缩，这正是压缩分子之间距离根据。气体和液体一样没有形状，但又不同于液体，气体膨胀时会充满任何盛放它容器。（乱译） 例句中“乱译”是由主观臆想（不正确选择词义、任意转换成分）造成。在这里，将matter译成“根据”在物理学上是讲不通，因为“压缩气体也就是减少分子之间距离”，两者是一回事。matter应作“事情”、“问题”解。 将will expand任意转换为时间状语，致使不符合原义。will expand and fill应译为“会扩张并充满”。综上所述，原译文可改为“气体很容易压缩，那只不过是缩小分子之间距离而已。气体和液体一样没有形状，但又不同于液体，因为气体会扩张并充满任何盛放它容器。” 就翻译方法而论，总来说，就是“直译法和意译法相结合”，又可细分为“照译”、“词义引伸”、“成分转换”、“句转成分”等译法。 英语翻译训练方法-直译 直译是一种重要的翻译方法，它有不少优点，例如能传达原文意义，体现原文风格等。据估算，大约70%的句子要用直译方法来处理，所以直译广为译者采用，由此可见直译法之重要。但是，直译具有一定的局限性。例如译文有时冗长罗唆，晦涩难懂，有时不能正确传达原文意义，有时甚至事与愿违。所以，如果不顾场合条件，不顾中外两种语言的差异，一味追求直译，就必然闯红灯，进入误区，造成误译。直译之所以有误区，是因为语言的形式与内容，句子的表层结构与深层意义有时不统一；另一方面，中外文化历史背景不同，造成了不同的思维方式和不同的语言表达形式。不少人批评过直译硬译，指出过直译有局限性，但是直译到底有哪些局限性，它都表现在什么地方。英语直译至少有五大误区，明确这些误区，就要在翻译中避免一些错误，就可在直译行不通的地方采用意译。 一、否定句型中的直译误区

B.Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese In 1776, Adam Smith, a Scottish economist, wrote the wealth of Nations, a book that has had an enormous influence on American economic development. Like many other thinkers, Smith believed that in a capitalist system people are naturally selfish and are moved to engage in manufacturing and trade in order to gain wealth and power. Smith’s originality was to argue that such activity is beneficial because it leads to increased production and sharpens competition. As a result, goods circulate more widely and at lower prices, jobs are created, and wealth is spread. Though people may act from the narrow desire to enrich themselves, Smith argued, “an invisible hand” guides them to enrich and improve all of society. And yet, American industrial development in the 19th century took a toll on working men and women. Factory owners often required them to put in long hours of low wages, provided them with unsafe and unhealthy workplaces, and hired the children of poor families. There was discrimination in hiring: African Americans and members of some immigrant groups were rejected or forced to work under highly unfavorable conditions.

经典英文美文 >01 The Language of Music A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm -- two entirely different movements. Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner's responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear. This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with fanatical but selfless authority. Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century. 01 音乐的语言 画家将已完成的作品挂在墙上，每个人都可以观赏到。作曲家写完了一部作品，得由 演奏者将其演奏出来，其他人才能得以欣赏。因为作曲家是如此完全地依赖于职业歌手和职业演奏者，所以职业歌手和职业演奏者肩上的担子可谓不轻。 一名学音乐的学生要想成为一名演奏者，需要经受长期的、严格的训练，就象一名医科的学生要成为一名医生一样。绝大多数的训练是技巧性的。 音乐家们控制肌肉的熟练程度，必须达到与运动员或巴蕾舞演员相当的水平。歌手们每天都练习吊嗓子，因为如果不能有效地控制肌肉的话，他们的声 带将不能满足演唱的要求。弦乐器的演奏者练习的则是在左手的手指上下滑动的同时，用 右手前后拉动琴弓--两个截然不同的动作。歌手和乐器演奏者必须使所有的音符完全相同协调。钢琴家们则不用操这份心，因为每个音符都已在那里等待着他们了。 给钢琴调音是调音师的职责。但调音师们也有他们的难处：他们必须耐心地调理敲击琴弦的音锤，不能让

英语 直译与意译-试讲教案
Good morning，class. In the last period we have learned chapter one-General principles of translation. And we have studied two important points: Definition of translation and the competence of a translator. And I will check you in the next class. As what we have mentioned last period, the process of translation consists of two phases: comprehension and expression. (理解和表达) Generally speaking, comprehension is of foremost importance, and express is the natural consequence of thorough comprehension. However, in the practice of translation, we may find that now and then some words in their usual senses are very difficult to deal with because of the disparity between the English and the Chinese language. In this case, we have to resort to some special means of translation. Literal translation and free translation are two alternative approaches to tackle this problem. So, in this class, we are going to learn translation strategies in 1.4.1, literal translation and free translation. To begin with, what’s literal translation and free translation? Please open your books and turn to page 12. Literal translation Vs. Free translation 1. Literal translation may be defined as having the following characteristics: 1). Literal translation takes sentences as its basic units and the whole text into consideration at the same time in the course of translating. 直译把句子作为基本单位，同时在翻译的过程中也考虑整个文本。 2). Literal translation strives to reproduce both the ideological content and style of the entire literary work and retain as much as possible the figures of speech. 直译是要再现文本的中心内容和原文风格，并且尽可能保留原文的修辞。 2. Free translation may be defined as a supplementary means to mainly convey the meaning and spirit of the original without trying to reproduce its sentence patterns or figures of speech. And it is adopted only when and where really impossible for translators to do literal translation. 意译其实是直译的一种补充的翻译手段。意译就是尽可能传达原文的意思和精髓，
