Rip Van Winkle
Rip Van Winkle” is the quintessential American fairy tale. It gives a very young nation a culture and history equal to Europe’s and is Irving’s way of thumbing his nose at a Europe that saw America as an upstart with no real traditions to make it great. Finally, Irving uses it to take a shot at what he saw was a Europe that was long on talk but short on action. The story is essentially a German folktale transplanted to New York. There are many similarities between “Rip Van Winkle” and traditional German folklore. German folklore is replete with stories of mysterious little men (usually in a forest) who waylay and trouble innocent mortals. Irving has transformed Rumplestilskin into Henry Hudson. Irving mimics the tendency that traditional folktales have for aphorisms to creep into the narrative. He tells the reader that “a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener from use,” directly echoing the same aphorism in Grimms’ “The Three Wishes” (“a sharp tongue never grows dull”). There is als o the cautionary aspect of folk tales inherent in “Rip Van Winkle.” Dame Van Winkle is a

作者简介： 华盛顿欧文(Washington Irving ) (1789-1895),美国浪漫主义作家，也是一个纯文学作家，他的写作态度是"writing for pleasure and to produce pleasure" 。欧文的代表作有《见闻札记》 (Sketch Book)，这是第一部伟大的青少年读物，也是美国本土作家第一部成功的小说。由于欧文对美国文学的伟大贡献，他获得了“美国文学之父”的光荣称号。这篇短篇小说，《瑞普凡温克尔》便是摘自《见闻札记》。 Rip Van Winkle A Posthumous Writing of Diedrich Knickerbocker By Washington Irving (T HE FOLLOWING tale was found among the papers of the late Diedrich Knickerbocker, an old gentleman of New York, who was very curious in the Dutch history of the province, and the manners of the descendants from its primitive settlers. His historical researches, however, did not lie so much among books as among men; for the former are lamentably scanty on his favorite topics; whereas he found the old burghers, and still more their wives, rich in that legendary lore so invaluable to true history. Whenever, therefore, he happened upon a genuine Dutch family, snugly shut up in its low-roofed farmhouse, under a spreading sycamore, he looked upon it as a little clasped volume of black-letter, and studied it with the zeal of a bookworm. The result of all these researches wasa history of the province during the reign of the Dutch governors, which he published some years since. There have been various opinions as to the literary character of his work, and, to tell the truth, it is not a whit better than it should be. Its chief merit is its scrupulous accuracy, which indeed was a little questioned on its first appearance, but has since been completely established; and it is how admitted into all historical collections as a book of unquestionable authority. The old gentleman died shortly after the publication of his work, and now that he is dead and gone it cannot do much harm to his memory to say that his time might have been much better employed in weightier labors. He, however, was apt to ride his hobby in his own way; and though it did now and then kick up the dust a little in the eyes of his neighbors and grieve the spirit of some friends, for whom he felt the truest deference and affection, yet his errors and follies are remembered“more in sorrow than in anger ”; and it begins to be suspected that he never intended to injure or offend. But however his memory may be appreciated by critics, it is still held dear among many folk whose good opinion is well worth having; particularly by certain biscuit bakers, who have gone so far as to imprint his likeness on their New Year cakes, and have thus given him a chance for immortality almost equal to the being stamped on a Waterloo medal or a Queen Anne 's farth ing.)

RipVanWinkle译文
瑞普-凡-温克尔 卡兹吉尔出脉位于纽约州哈得逊河西边，山峰高耸人云，俯瞰着四周的山村。季节更替，阴晴转换，甚至旦夕间的时辰变幻，都会引来山容峰色午姿百态。所以山区周围的村民只要观看卡兹吉尔山脉就能猜出天气的变化。就在这些山脉下面，航行者可以看见缕缕青烟从一个古老的荷兰小山村袅袅升起。瑞普-凡-温克尔就在这个村里。许多年前，他就住在这里，那时这个国家还发球英国。瑞普-凡-温克尔是一个朴素单纯，性格温和的家伙。在荷兰决督统治时期，他的祖先曾英勇地与英国人战斗过。然而，瑞普的血液里没有多少祖先的军人性格。我已经说了，他是一个朴素单纯，性格温和的家伙。此外他还是一个善良的邻居，也是一个在老婆面前唯唯诺诺的丈夫。由于在家里被老婆管得太严所以他似乎养成了处处与人为善的习惯。因此，除了他老婆外，大这都对他评价很高。当然，他在村子里所有的良家妇女中很受欢迎。每当她们知道了凡-温克尔家吵架，她们总是认定瑞普是对的，而凡-温克尔夫人是错的。孩子们也一样，瑞普-凡-温克尔一来，他们总是欢叫起来。他总是望着他们玩耍，为他们做玩具，教他们怎么玩各种游戏，还给他们讲最精彩的故事。不管他去哪儿，他的四周常常围着一群孩子。村子里没有哪条狗对他狂吠过。瑞普-凡-温克尔有一个缺点：什么赚钱的活儿他都不喜欢，甚至是憎恨。很难理解究竟是什么原因让他不爱劳动。可他从不拒绝帮助邻居，哪怕是干最粗的活儿，比如帮人家砌石墙。村里的妇女也常使唤他，让他传信，或做一些她们的丈夫不愿意做的小活计。换言之，除了自各儿的事情外，别人家的事瑞普都乐意管。至少家庭责任，收拾农场，他觉得这样的活儿绝对做不来。事实上，他宣称在他农场上折腾毫无用处，因为那是整个那一带最差的小块地，一无是处。结果由于他经营不善，失去不少土地，他的小农场比他周围的农场更差了。他的孩子也到处游荡，他们的可怜样和他的农场一样。他的儿子小瑞普，和他很像，整天四处晃荡。他穿着一条他父亲的旧裤子，不得不用一只手提着，免得掉了下来。然而，瑞普-凡-温克尔是那种有福分的人。他一副傻样，与世无争，待人接物从容快乐；他吃好吃差无所谓，只要得来全不费工夫。如果由着他的性子，他会非常心安理得地虚度一生。可是他老婆在他耳朵边不停地数落他，说他游手好闲，对家庭漠不关心，这个家快给他毁了。从早到晚，她唠叨个没完。他说的每句话，做的每件事，定公招徕她一顿臭骂。瑞普对付他那长舌老婆，倒是有个办法，这个办法用多了。已经成了一个习惯。他只是把头耷拉在肩膀上，眼望天空，一言不发。然而，这又引来老婆的一阵发火。这么一来，瑞普无事可做，只有离开家。在家里，瑞普唯一的朋友就是他的狗，名叫沃尔夫。沃尔夫常常是凡-温克尔太太的出气筒，因为她把他们看做是游手好闲的难兄难弟，有时她甚至指责说：瑞普之所以吊儿郎当都是这条狗的错。不错，沃外交活动夫在树林里像条狗，很勇敢，可是再勇敢的狗也经不住一个长舌妇的数落。每当沃尔夫走进家门，他总是耷拉着脑袋，尾巴垂掉在地上或夹在两腿间。他在屋里溜达，一脸心虚的样子，时刻从眼角观察着凡-温克尔太太，一看到她有一丝不快的迹象，便拨腿开溜。瑞普-凡-温克尔结婚后，随着岁月的推移，他的麻烦也越来越多。有很长一段时间，当凡-温克尔太太的唠叨迫使他出门时，他总是和其他闲人坐在一块儿安慰自己。他和这些闲人常坐在村里的小酒馆前面，酒馆的名字就是因英王乔治三世下的肖像而起的。在漫长的夏天里，他们常常坐在树要荫下，没完没了地讲述那些让人打盹的无聊故事。有时候，他们中有
翻译公司收费标准
翻译公司收费标准 1.客户需要翻译的目标语言的普遍性和稀缺性可能导致非常 不同的费用。英语比较普遍，需求大，市场专业的英语翻译人 才也很多，翻译公司无论是从降价到抢占市场，还是成本核算 来考虑，英语收费都比较合理和透明。 其他诸如法语、德语、日语、俄语排在第二梯队，翻译公司收 费标准一般都是200-280元，视稿件专业度和数量略有调整； 意大利，西班牙，越南，泰文等东南亚语种已经接近稀有语 种了，翻译报价至少300元千字起。 2.根据翻译项目类型 常见的翻译方法主要包括翻译翻译、同声传译、本地翻译、口译翻译等，翻译项目自然是不同的收费。 3.根据翻译项目时长 这一时期的持续时间主要是指项目长度：同声传译、会议翻译、商务洽谈、双语主持人、口译、护送翻译、展览翻译，当然，视频翻译、音频翻译按时间计算的时间和会议类型是一个重要因素，是翻译时间决定翻译价格的一个重要因素。 4.根据翻译项目字数
翻译项目的字数是影响收费的重要因素之一，翻译字数主要对于笔译而言，例如：文件翻译、图书翻译、资料翻译、画册翻译等等，这些文件资料的字数决定了项目的翻译价格和翻译收费标准。 5.根据翻译项目语种 主流语种：英语、日语、韩语等和小语种：阿拉伯语、希腊语、印尼语等的翻译收费标准区别。我们知道：“物以稀为贵，”所以小语种的翻译报价会比主流语种收费要高的。 6.根据翻译项目难易程度 对于翻译公司来说，翻译费在很大程度上取决于翻译的难度程度，不同的行业术语不同，难度不同; 专业翻译公司将根据翻译人员的翻译水平、专业知识、翻译经验等方式来评价自己的翻译团队，高层次的翻译人员当然都是高收费; 如通用翻译、精细翻译、出版层次等不同类型的翻译报价不同，稿件的行业领域、材料难度、选择翻译类型等都是决定翻译公司收费标准的因素。

Rip Van Winkle 评论
A Brief Comment on Rip V an Winkle Rip Van Winkle is a short story by American writer Washington Irving, as well as the name of the story's main character. It is part of a collection of stories called The Sketch Book. There is no doubt that rip van winkle is an interesting and attractive story. One day, Rip van winkle went to mountain with his dog named wolf. On the way home, he heard someone calling his name. Then he downed to glen and met a strange person. Rip helped him and went to a palace with him. Rip drank with those folks in the palace and fell asleep. The next morning, he lied in the glen with sand. When rip went back to his village, the strange circumstance and people amazed him. After talking with those folks, he got that his friends and wife all died, and times have gone 20 years since he left his home. I like to read the story because of the fate of the main character and the description of person. The fate of the main character is so pathetic. Rip was henpecked and whatever he did, his wife always blamed him and babbled. It is so horrible. Imagine if a man marry with a woman who is so naggish every day like a bird. It cannot be tolerant as a man. Then, he only drank a little, and was a drink. When he awaked up, it was after 20 years. It is so scared and pathetic. The description of person is very vivid and visual. Author described

rip van winkle中自然描写的作用
The Functions of Nature 王雯In Rip Van Winkle, there are many descriptions about nature. And,it’s obvious that the writer paid much attention to them. In my personal view, nature has three functions in this novel. Firstly, descriptions of nature is necessary for setting the scene. Rip Van Winkle is an imaginative novel,writer uses dreamlike environment description and the people’s fancy experience to create atmosphere. Most of natural environment described in this novel is so beautiful that give people the sense of unreality. Secondly, descriptions of nature express the writer’s preference of nature. The writer himself loves nature in his real life. That makes him use flowery language and fertile imagination to present the expected nature in his heart. And one of the literary characteristics of Romanticism is they have a presumption that the natural world was a source of goodness and man’s society a source of corruption. They want to go back to nature and enjoy the leisure time. Puritan life style are no longer that popular among Americans,they begin to pursue what they really want. Nature is just a sample of what they are seeking. Thirdly, descriptions of nature convey the main idea of the novel--the desire for an escape from society. In this novel,Rip Van Winkle want to escape from his wife who rattles all the time and escape from his family

Ripvanwinkle中英对照
Rip van winkle, however, was one of those happy mortals, of foolish, well-oiled dispositions, who take the world easy, eat white bread or brown, whichever can be got with least thought or trouble, and would rather starve on a penny than work for a pond. If left to himself, he would have whistled life away in perfect contentment; but his wife kept continually dinning in his ears about his idleness, his carelessness, and the ruin he was bringing on his family. Morning, noon, and night, his tongue was incessantly going, and every thing he said or did was sure to produce a torrent of household eloquence. Rip had but one way of replying all lectures of the kind, and that, by frequent use, had grown into a habit. He shrugged his shoulders, shook his head, cast up his eyes, but said nothing. This, however, always provoked a fresh volley from his wife, so that he was fain to draw off his forces, and take to the outside of the house——the only side which, in truth, belongs to a hen-pecked husband. 瑞普.凡.温克尔，一个凡夫俗子，为人乐观，品行憨厚，天生圆滑，与世无争，只要不劳他思索，不费其吹灰之力,粗茶淡饭便可打发他，他宁可缺少一个便士而挨饿，也不愿为挣一英镑而工作。如果依着他的想法，他便会自鸣得意地吹着口哨，以此虚度光阴，但他妻子总会在他耳边唠叨他的好逸恶劳、粗心大意和他给家庭造成的伤害。无论早晨、中午、晚上，他总会滔滔不绝，而他所说或所做

Rip Van Winkle &Dame Van Winkle
Rip Van Winkle &Dame Van Winkle Rip Van Winkle written by Washington Irving tells a story that the hero called Rip Van Winkle goes for a walk to the woods and falls asleep for twenty years, missing the Revolutionary war. To start with, Rip Van Winkle and Dame Van Winkle both have distinctive characters. Rip V an Winkle is a kind, easygoing, and peaceful man who is popular with all of his neighbors. His wife’s bad temper earns him the sympathy of women and children love him because he told stories and gave toys to them His only shortcoming is that he was not willing to do any work from which he could make a living. He often helps neighbors work for a day but takes little care of his farm and idles away his time. During his long sleep, his wife supported the family alone and the world gets along fine without him. Dame Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle’s wife is a sour-tempered woman who spends all her time berating Rip. She is cantankerous and nagging and no one can stand her bad temper. However, when her husband is v ery lazy and don’t want to undertake agricultural work, she worked very hard for the family. Two heroes’ different characters may lead to the unhappy marriage.
