英语四级六级翻译三大特点

新版的四六级翻译,让人吐槽叫人无奈,考生很多单词不会写,但也不能空着,到后面就自己创造单词,那么如何备战四六级翻译,"大换血"后的翻译又具有哪些特点呢?

首先、翻译内容多为中国文化传统。比如13年12月真题中就出现:中国结、手工艺人、团聚、祈求好运、辟邪、帝王、瑰宝、中国园林、园林景观、皇室成员、微缩景观、假山、山水画卷、造纸、火药、福、和、指南针、印刷术、瓷器等等,看似很难很难无从下手,但其实只有:中国结、帝王、中国园林、造纸、火药、福、和、指南针、印刷术、瓷器这些的翻译比较固定,而其他的词或短语则可以灵活地变通。比如 "皇室成员"不是只有the royal family这样高大上的翻译,也可以译为: the emperor's family, 或者 the king's family。当然要想灵活自如,备战过程中背诵积累是必不可缺的。

其次、四六级翻译的特点在于重复性。因为是介绍性的文章,而且内容关于中国传统文化,一些表达不可避免的会反复出现,比如: "在古代,人们用它来······,但现在主要是用于装饰的目的"、"在中文里意味着爱情丶婚姻和团聚"、"······常常作为礼物交换或作用饰品祈求好运和辟邪"、"······在中国各地差别很大"、"相传,中国的······于五千年前发现了······,在明清期间,遍布全国,在六世纪传到······"。这些句子具有重复出现的特点,介绍中国各种传统习俗都频繁用到。所以我们可以把这些表达的英文变成模板句子进行背诵。

最后,英译中灵活性很大,小说诗歌等翻译也很灵活。但是四六级考的是中译英,特别是介绍性文章,有它固定的技巧,比如切分句子,添加主语,主语为" 我们\人们"直接变被动,定语的三类翻译方法,四六级翻译不求"雅",抓住这些基本的技巧,做到"信" 和 "达"就可以笑傲考场。

Tea drinking spread to Japan in the 6th century, but it was not until the 18th century does it spread to Europe and America. Nowadays, tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world, and it is not only the treasure of China but also an important part of Chinese tradition and culture.

试卷四:中国结

【真题原文】中国结最初是由手工艺人发明的,经过数百年不断的改进,已经成为一种优雅多彩的艺术和工艺。在古代,人们用它来记录事件,但现在主要是用于装饰的目的。“结”在中文里意味着爱情,婚姻和团聚,中国结常常作为礼物交换或作为饰品祈求好运和辟邪。这种形式的手工艺代代相传,现在已经在中国和世界各地越来越受欢迎。

This form of handicrafts passes down from generation to generation, and then it has become increasingly popular in China and around the world.

学前教育

家长们对学前教育期望值过高,导致了托儿所费用的水涨船高。很多父母均认同这样一种看法:如今每个家庭都是一个孩子,于是一些托儿所利用家长“望子成龙” (“望女成凤”)的心态,“投其所好”,想方设法推出各种名目的学前教育计划和培养目标,无形中,也大大增加了家长的投入。

【参考答案】

Parents' overestimate to the preschool education leads to the rising charges of nursery schools accordingly.Many parents believe the fact that each family has only one child,parents simply hope their son or daughter become somebody in the future,therefore,some nursery schools cater to these parents' thought and introduce various kinds of perschool plans and fostering objectives which add virtually to the parents' financial burden.

中国与世界的发展

中国是欧亚地区重要的国家。中国的发展离不开世界,更离不开欧亚地区。同样,世界的发展、欧亚地区的发展也离不开中国。中国的发展给世界各国尤其是欧亚地区国家带来重要机遇。中国稳定和谐的政治社会环境、丰富优秀的劳动力资源和潜力巨大的市场,为与世界各国尤其是欧亚地区国家开展互利互惠的经济合作提供了理想的场所。我们高兴地看到,通过这些年的不懈努力,中国的中西部地区和东北等老工业基地有了长足进步,呈现美好的发展前景。

【参考答案】

As an important country in Eurasia region,China can not develop itself in isolation from the world,especially the Eurasia region.Likewise,the development of the world and the development of the Eurasia also can not be realized without China.The development of China brings important opportunities to every nation of the world,especially the countries in the Eurasia region.China,with a stable and harmonious political and social environment,having rich and excellent human resources and great potential markets,is an ideal place for every country of the world,especially the countries in the Eurasia region to develop the economic cooperation which can be mutually benefited.We are glad to see that the Central and Western China and the old industrial base of the Northeast China have made rapid progress and displayed a good development future by the continuous efforts of these years.

新措施规定将适度放宽外商投资企业自产产品内销比例。属于国家鼓励和允许发展的产业,且原材料进口和产品出口不涉及配额,许可证管理。外汇收支自行平衡的项目,可根据外商的要求放宽产品内销比例。其中全部使用国产原材料生产的产品,可放宽到百分之百内销。

【参考答案】

研究学问

由小学到中学,所修习的无非是一些普通的基本知识。就是大学四年,所授课业也还是相当粗浅的学识。世人常称大学为“最高学府”,这名称易滋误解,好像过此以上即无学问可言。大学的研究所才是初步研究学问的所在,在这里做学问也只能算是粗涉藩篱,注重的是研究学问的方法与实习。学无止境,一生的时间都嫌太短,所以古人皓首穷经,头发白了还是在继续研究,不过在这样的研究中确是有浓厚的趣味。

【参考答案】

From elementary school to middle school, what has been learned is nothing but some basically common knowledge.Even what you are imparted during four-year university is also something superficial.Universities are usually referred to “the highest educational institution”which tends to breed the i llusion that there is no more to learn after university.The research institutes of universities are just the places where knowledge is primarily studied.But even there you get only the first taste of learning where emphasis is on research methodology and practice.There is no satiety in study,and one's whole life is still not enough for learning.That's why ancient people continued with study even when their hair had turned hoary.However,indeed there was strong interest in this process.

文化保护

我们承诺:在发展文化产业中,实现文化资的保护和开发的平衡,实现文化资源的开发和市场需求的有效对接,给城市经济注入历史,艺术和情感的内涵,促使文化资源的潜在价值转化为现实的社会财富。

【参考答案】

We hereby promise that while developing the cultural industry,we will realize the balance between the protection and the development of cultural resources,and bring about effective point between the development and market demand of cultural resources,so as to instill historical,artistic and emotional connotations into the economy of the city and transfer the potential value of cultural resources into practical social wealth.

发问是思想的进步,研究的动力。一切知识的获得,大都从发问而来;新发明、新创造也常常由发问开端。能发问、勤发问的人,头脑自然会日益丰富,眼光自然会日益敏锐。别人不肯动脑筋的地方,他偏会想出惊人的见解;别人以为平常的事物,他偏会看出不平常的道理。我们虽然不一定人人能成为大科学家、大思想家,但是不能不求知识,不能不明道理。要求知识、明道理,处处都会碰到问题。不能勤于发问,是多么可惜啊!

【参考答案】

Questioning is the progress of mind and the motivation of study.All the knowledge is acquired through questioning,and inventions or innovations often start from questioning.Those who question and are diligent in questioning are in possession of an increasingly enriched mind as well as increasingly sharp vision.He can offer amazing views on things that people would least set mind on;he can make unusual sense out of things taken as common by ordinary people.Although all of us cannot be great scientists of great philosophers,we should not give up learning or understanding.Qusetions are so common in the pursuit of knowledge and on the way to understanding.What a shame to be not diligent in questioning!

贺卡

市上行销的时髦贺卡,多是金碧辉煌的豪华版,代价不菲,姑置不论,流行歌曲式的新潮贺词,也很不合老人身份。诸多烦扰,不一而足。曾经几次自己设计,印制一些朴素大方,既能表情达意,又可供清赏的贺卡,也难以实现。不得已狠一狠心,向贺年卡挥手告别,从此不再寄发,也不再裁答。失礼之,只好请多多体谅了。

【参考答案】

Most of the fashionable greeting cards on sale in the market are the splendid luxury versions. Apart from their expensiveness, the greeting words of the pop song style are not suitable for the senior. There are so many worries to make a list. Several times I wanted to design and print some simple and easy cards by myself, but it was hard to realize making the cards which could be the expression of greetings and the apprecaition. Therefore, I had to make up my mind to say goodbye to New Year cards,d not to sending and replying to them any longer from then on. Please forgive me for being impolite.

出境游

联合国下属机构世界旅游组织(World Tourism Organization)公布的数据显示,中国游客对全球旅游业的贡献最大。中国人去年花在出境游上的支出膨胀至1020亿美元,同2011年相比增长了40%。联合国世界旅游组织在其网站上发布的一份声明中说,这一增幅令中国迅速超越德国和美国。后两者在之前是出境游支出最高的两个国家。2012年德美两国出境旅游支出均同比增长6%,约840亿美元。

汉译英:

The figures from the United Nations World Tourism Organization show that Chinese travelers are making the most contributions to the global tourism industry. Chinese travelers spent a record $102 billion on outbound tourism last year, a 40% rise from 2011. That surge sent China screaming past Germany and the U.S. — the former No. 1 and No. 2 spenders, respectively 一 which both saw tourist outlays increase 6% year- on-year to around $84 billion in 2012, the UNWTO said in a statement on its website.

全球变暖

目前,全球变暖是一个热门话题,但是有关全球变暖的各项证据似乎还有些不同的声音。人们现在已经知道,地球的发展经历了很多周期(cycle),尽管在历史上还未出现过像今天这样的时代,即高度工业化(industrialization)产生如此多的污染。全球变暖主要是由于二氧化碳气体 (carbon dioxide)的增多。

汉译英:

Global warming is the hot topic around the world at this time but, there is also dissention about the evidence being presented to support the argument. The earth is known to go through cycles; although the past has never produced an age of so much industrialization causing the pollution currently being experienced. A major source of the problem is the increase in carbon dioxide levels.

大学生就业选择

许多刚毕业的大学生找不到工作,在校学生则担心他们的未来。多个调查显示,三分之二的中国毕业生想在政府或者国有企业工作,而不是令人瞩目的为中国经济增长提供动力的民营企业。政府和国有企业被认为能免受经济萧条的影响。如今几乎没有大学生愿意放弃政府的铁饭碗而下海、加入初创企业或自己创业。

汉译英:

Many recent college graduates can’t find a job and students

are fearful about their future. Two-thirds of Chinese

graduates say they want to work either in the government or

state-owned firms,which are seen as recession-proof, rather

than at the private co mpanies that have powered China’s

remarkable economic climb, surveys indicate. Few college

stu?dents today, according to the surveys, are ready to leave

the safe shores of government work and jump into the sea to

join startups or go into business.

城市化进程

中国城市化(urbanization)将会充分释放潜在内需(domestic demand)。一些经济学家指出,在中国几乎所有的发展中城市都面临着城市化的进程。这使得许多人的生活水平有所提高,也为人们提供更多的就业机会。随着越来越多的人向城市迁徙,住房及城市基础设施建设(infrastructure construction),包括水源等能源的供应将会成为城市发展的焦点问题。商品与服务的自由、快速流通是城市化社会的一项基本特征。逐渐扩张的城市需要更多的零售店来满足消费者的需求。

汉译英:

China’s urbanization will release the full potential of domestic demand. Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country. It will lead to a better quality of life for many people,and provide individuals with more job opportunities. The construction of housing and city infrastructure, in?cluding water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban develop?ment as more people migrate to cities. Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city. But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation. The fast, free flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society. Ex-panding cities require more retail outlets to serve customers.

中国经济活动放缓

就像向中国出售商品的公司会看到收益有损失一样,中国经济活动放缓有着世界性的影响。包括澳大利亚、巴西和东南亚在内的其他国家近年来都看到了巨大的利润,因为中国对自然资源有需求。中国的需求下降巳经对很多商品的价格有了影响。上周,中国财政部长楼继伟表示,今年的经济增长可能为7%,而这不一定

是“底线”。

汉译英:

A slowdown in economic activity in China has a global impact as companies that sell to China may see revenues suffer. Countries includ?ing Australia, Brazil and others in South East Asia have seen huge profits in recent years because of Chinese demand for natural resources. The fall in demand from China has already had an impact on the prices of many commodities. Last week,China’s Finance Minister Lou Jiwei indicated that economic growth could be 7% for the year, and that this may not be the “bottom line”.

全球变暖

目前,全球变暖是一个热门话题,但是有关全球变暖的各项证据似乎还有些不同的声音。人们现在已经知道,地球的发展经历了很多周期(cycle),尽管在历史上还未出现过像今天这样的时代,即高度工业化(industrialization)产生如此多的污染。全球变暖主要是由于二氧化碳气体 (carbon dioxide)的增多。

汉译英:

Global warming is the hot topic around the world at this time but, there is also dissention about the evidence being presented to support the argument. The earth is known to go through cycles; although the past has never produced an age of so much industrialization causing the pollution currently being experienced. A major source of the problem is the increase in carbon dioxide levels.

京剧

京剧(Beijing Opera)是中国的国粹。作为一门古老的艺术,京剧的服装(costume)、脸谱(facial mask)更易被人喜爱。不同的服装类型反映不同的人物身份特征。富贵者的服装缀满精美的刺绣;穷困者的服装则简单朴素,少有装饰。脸谱是京剧中塑造(portray)人物形象的重要手段,它是用不同的颜色在脸上勾画出来的。脸谱的颜色让人一看便知角色的善恶。比如白色代表奸诈(treachery),黑色代表正直不阿,黄色是骁勇,蓝、绿色多用于绿林好汉(rebellious fighters),金、银色多用于神佛(divinity and Buddhism)等。

汉译英:

Beijing Opera is the cream of the Chinese culture. As a traditional art form, its costumes and facial mask are more popular with people. Different styles of costumes are used to reflect the status of different characters. There are more decorations in the costumes of nobles,while those of the poor tend to be simple and less elemental. Facial masks can reflect qualities of different characters. Facial masks using different colors are important ways to portray a character. People can tell a hero from a villain by the colors of the masks. In general,white usually represents treachery, black represents righteousness, yellow represents bravery, blue and green represent rebellious fighters,while gold and silver represent divinity and Buddhism.

信息技术

信息技术(Information Technology),正在飞速的发展,中国公民也越来越重视信息技术,有些学校甚至将信息技术作为必修课程,对这一现象大家持不同观点。一部分人认为这是没有必要的,学生就应该学习传统的课程。另一部分人认为这是应该的,中国就应该与时俱进。不管怎样,信息技术引起广大人民的重视是一件好事。

【参考译文】

Nowadays, with the fast development of Information Technology, Chinese citizens are attaching more and more importance to it. Some schools and universities have even included Information Technology in their required courses, which has led to different opinions. Some people think it is unnecessary to make IT courses required, and students are supposed to take traditional courses. Oppositely, other people think it is necessary to do so, for China and its people should keep pace with the times. Either way, it is a good thing that Information Technology has attracted people's attention.

探望父母

这周颁布的一项新法律要求子女必须经常探望年龄超过60岁的父母,并确保他们经济和精神上的需求得到满足。星期二,新华社报导了_条新闻,来自江苏市无锡市的一位77岁的老太太起诉她的女儿忽略她。这是新法律生效后的第一起案件,当地法院规定她的女儿至少每月探望母亲两次,并提供财力支持。但是这项法律引发了争议。有人说这给了那些因为工作、学习或者其他原因搬离家乡的人更多压力。

汉译英:

A new national law introduced this week requires the offspring of parents older than 60 to visit their parents “frequently” and make sure their financial and spiritual needs are met. On Tuesday, Xinhua reported a news that a 77-year-old woman from Jiangsu city of Wuxi sued her daughter for neglecting her. In the first case after the new law came into effect, the local court ruled that her daughter must visit her at least twice a month and provide financial suppo rt. But the law’s introduction has proved controversial. Some say it puts too much pressure on those who move away from home for work, study or other opportunities.

月光族

中国经济的高速发展,带来了消费文化的日益流行,同时也催生了一批具有高学历,充分享受资本主义消费模式的年轻人,他们习惯于当月工资当月花。因而被称为“月光族”(the moonlight group)。“月光族”一词出现于20世纪90

年代后期,是用来讽刺那些出身富裕、接受高等教育、充分享受快餐文化(fast food culture)的年轻人。

汉译英:

China’s economy is developing very quickly, and h as brought with it a culture of consumption more prevalent with each passing day. At the same time, it has brought into being an educated group of young people who enjoy capitalist consumption way. They’re used to spending money as soon as they get it every month, and so are called the moon light group”. This word came into being during the 1990s, to make fun of those bom into wealth,who have received a high education, and who ap?preciate fast food culture.

四合院

四合院是从明代的北京延续下来的古典建筑风格的住宅。四合院之间的狭窄的街道被称为“胡同”。一个四合院有园林包围着四个房子,有高高的围墙保护。四合院与胡同都是人们常见到的,有超过700多年的历史,但是由于现在的城市改造和中国经济的发展,四合院慢慢地从北京消失。

汉译英

Si He Yuan is a classical architecture style of residential hous?ing of Beijing citizens dated from the Ming Dynasty. The narrow streets between the Si He Yuan are call ed “Hutong,’s. A single implementation of Si He Yuan comprises of garden surrounded by four houses and protected by high walls. Si He Yuan with Hutong which have been very familiar to people,having a history of more than 700 years now suffer from the ur?ban renovation and economic development of China, and they are slowly disappearing from Beijing.

There are two most preferred topics in traditional Chinese paintings.One kind depicts various happy scenes of family life in which the elderly play chess and drink tea,young men farm and harvest in the field,women weave or sew clothes and kids play in the outside.The other depicts the recreations of rural life.In these paintings, fishermen fish on the lake,famers hew or collect herbs on the hills and scholars compose poems or paintings under pine trees.These two themes respectively represent the ideal life of Confucianism and Taoism. 2014年12月英语六级真题及答案:段落翻译2 中国将努力确保到2015年就业者接受过平均13.3年的教育。如果这一目标得以实现,今后大部分进入劳动力市场的人都需获得大学文凭。

大学英语六级翻译技巧及专项练习讲解

翻译题应试技巧 汉语主动句译成英语被动句 我们在汉译英时,往往也需要把汉语主动句译成被动句。这是因为:为了保证上下文连贯,使衔接更紧密,句子更自然;或强调动作承受者;或使语气婉转、措辞恰当。具体转换方法有如下两种。 1)把汉语主动句的宾语译成英语被动句的主语。 例1 ____________(将领你们去参观我们的新车间)by the secretary. 译文:Y ou will be shown our new workshop. 简评:如果这句话不是划线填内容,你完全可以将它翻译成The secretary will show you our new workshop。正是因为题型是补全句子,这就给翻译带来了一定的难度,你必须去适应题型要求而不是让题型来适应你。让我们看看译文已给出部分:by the secretary显然是一个被动语态特征,"秘书"在译文里已经由原来的主语变成了译文句子的补足成分。所以,题目是暗示我们要把原句中"你们"转换成译句里的主语,这样才符合出题要求。 例2 Y ou __________(我们期待你能组织贸易推广活动)this time. 译文:are expected to organize the trade publicity campaigns. 简评:根据题目可推知全句意思是:我们期望你能组织这次的贸易推广活动。中文句子主语、谓语、宾语分别是:我们、期望、你。但是在英文译文的给出部分中我们看到句子以you开头,也就是说"你被期望能组织这次贸易推广活动"。中文的宾语变成了英文的主语,这就要求我们在翻译时要使用被动语态。全句完整答案是:Y ou are expected to organize the trade publicity campaigns this time. 2)当汉语句以"我们"、"人们"、"大家"等泛指性代词作主语时,在翻译成英文的时候常常可以忽略主语不译,并把英文译句处理成被动语态。处理后的英文译句往往带有know,see,find,say,suppose,estimate,report,suggest,stress,consider,expect,admit,point,understand 等动词。 例3 如果原子失去一个或多个电子,我们就说这个原子带正电荷。 译文:If one or more electrons are removed,the atom is said/believed/thought to be positively charged. 简评:这句话是一个条件从句。即:在原子失去一个或多个电子的情况下,这个电子带正电荷。"我们就说这个原子带正电荷"可理解为"这个原子被认为/ 被确信/ 被说成是带正电荷"。那么根据前面所说的原则,我们在翻译时可以将泛指性主语"我们"省略不译,并使用被动语态。 从这个例子里我们还可以看出,在科技文章中,根据英语表达习惯我们应当多采用被动语态,以强调事物的客观性。 例4 人们采用各种措施来防止腐蚀。 译文:All kinds of measures are taken to prevent corrosion. 简评:这句话可以按原文译成主动态,即:People have taken all kinds of measures to prevent corrosion。也可以用被动语态来翻译--All kinds of measures are taken to prevent corrosion。两者比较而言,被动态译文更突出表明所有、种种措施已经付诸实施,all kinds of measures得到强调,而主动态译法只是平铺直叙,重点不突出。

如何做好大学英语六级翻译题

如何做好大学英语六级翻译题 导读:我根据大家的需要整理了一份关于《如何做好大学英语六级翻译题》的内容,具体内容:1、概述教育部最新六级考试大纲(1999年)对翻译的要求是:能借助词典将难度略低于课文的英语短文译成汉语,理解正确,译文达意,译速为每小时300英语单词。能借助词典将内容熟悉的汉语... 1、概述教育部最新六级考试大纲(1999年)对翻译的要求是:能借助词典将难度略低于课文的英语短文译成汉语,理解正确,译文达意,译速为每小时300英语单词。能借助词典将内容熟悉的汉语文字材料译成英语,译文达意,无重大语言错误,译速为每小时250汉字。"英译汉"是从1996年1月起在大学英语四、六级考试中准备采用的新题型之一,至今只在四级考试中出现过。"英译汉"考题安排在阅读理解部分之后,每次考试共5题,分别从阅读理解部分的4篇文章中选择一至两个句子组成一题,每题约20-30个单词。考试时间为15分钟。考试时考生可参阅阅读理解部分的有关文章,以便了解上下文。"英译汉"的评分标准是每题两分,共10分。要求译文全句结构正确、自然、通顺、流畅且符合汉语表达习惯得0.5分,其它1.5分基本分布于句、段的三处难点与要求,每处0.5分,例如词组、被动语态、特殊句型、从句的翻译等。一个句子是否能够正确翻译,取决于对这个句中的一些关键词、词组、句型以及语法结构的正确理解与自然表达。 2、如何进行准备首先要弄清六级翻译考试大纲的内容,评分标准;分析标题,从而找出原则及规律。同时了解一下自己在翻译方面的问题:是词汇量小,语法结构知识掌握不牢靠,还是汉语功能太差,总之

只有找出问题的症结才能做到有针对性地弥补、不足、提高翻译水平。学习翻译方面的基本常识。如:"英译汉"的基本标准可归于忠实和通顺两个方面,即忠实于原作的内容及风格;译文必须通顺易懂,符合汉语表达习惯。翻译有直译和意译之分,直译要求译文与原文在词语、语法结构及表达方式上保持一致,而意译则要求摆脱原文形式的束缚而传达原文的内容。但实际翻译中,没有绝对的直译和绝对的意译。相反,直译基础上的意译更接近原文而又符合汉语习惯。掌握英汉两种语言在句法结构及表达方式上的不同,利于迅速提高翻译水平。如:英语多后置定语,而汉语多前置定语;英语状语语序为方式状语+地点状语+时间状语,而汉语则是时间状语+地点状语+方式状语;英语多长句、松散句(句子中心在句首),而汉语多短句、圆周句(句子中心在句末);英语多非人称名词作主语,而汉语多以人称代词作主语;英语多被动结构,汉语多主动结构;英语多倒装句,而汉语多正常语序句;英语中用于修饰名词的几个形容词常由主观性形容词到客观性形容词的顺序排列,而汉语却相反,离名词最近的常是主观性最强的形容词,最远的是客观性最强的形容词。熟悉"英译汉"时常用的翻译技巧,便于提高翻译的速度和准确度。词汇方面的翻译技巧有:正确选择词义,增加原文中无其形而有其义的词汇,如量词、助词、概括词、时态词、语态词及其它解释性文字;省略词汇,如先行词、系动词、代词、连词、冠词及名词复数形式等;转换词类:词性转换往往体现在派生词、介词及副词身上;正反互译:根据汉语习惯调整句意的不同表达方式:正话反说,反话正说等。语句方面的翻译技巧有:顺译法:按原文词序、结构顺序来译;逆译法:打乱原文词句顺序来译;合译法:把原文中

The streets and residences of Chang'an were designed like a chessboard, with neat and well-proportioned layout of the east and west.Lots of streets and avenues inside the city were over 100 meters wide.Chang'an was also the cultural center of China at that time,with rich and colorful entertainment activities such as music,dancing,cock fighting,etc.Many students from Japan and Korea came to study in Chang'an,and merchants from Central Asia went along the Silk Road to gather there.Among the population of about one million in Chang'an,there were more than 10,000 foreign households. 词句点拨 1.今称西安:作为同位语,可译为now called Xi'an,也能够说now known as Xi'an。

英语四六级新题型——段落翻译

英语四六级新题型——【段落翻译】 1、狮舞(Lion Dance)是中国最广为流传的民间舞蹈之一。狮为百兽之首,在中国传统中,狮子被视为是能带来好运的吉祥物(mascot)。古人将狮子视作是勇敢和力量的化身,能驱赶邪恶、保护人类。据记载,狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。在唐代(the Tang Dynasty),狮舞就已经被引入了皇室。因此,舞狮成为元宵节(the Lantern Festival)和其他节日的习俗,人们以此来祈祷好运、平安和幸福。 The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China. The lion is the king of animals. In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck. Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans. The dance has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years. During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty. Therefore, performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness. 2、中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放,这对海外企业(enterprises)意味着更多的商机。改革开放以来,中国企业与海外企业一直积极开展经济技术合作,并取得了巨大成就。海外企业不仅帮助了中国企业的成长,而且也在合作中获得了收益。中国政府将继续提供有利的政策和条件,推动中国企业与国外企业进一步开展合作。 China will develop its economy further and open itself wider to the outside world, which offers more business opportunities to overseas enterprises. Since China’s reform and opening up, Chinese enterprises have been cooperating with overseas enterprises in terms of economy and technology, and have scored great achievement. Overseas enterprises have not only helped Chinese enterprises with their growth, but also benefited from the cooperation. Chinese government will continue to offer favorable policies and conditions to promote the further cooperation between Chinese and overseas enterprises. 3、假日经济的现象表明:中国消费者的消费观正在发生巨大变化。根据统计数据,中国消费者的消费需求正在从基本生活必需品转向对休闲、舒适和个人发展的需求。同时,中国人的消费观在蓬勃发展的假日经济中正变得成熟。因此产品结构应做相应调整,来适应社会的发展。另一方面,服务质量要改善,以满足人们提高生活质量的要求。 The phenomenon of holiday economy shows that Chinese people’s consumption concept is undertaking great changes. According to statistics, the demands of Chinese consumers are shifting from the basic necessities of life to leisure, comfort and personal development. Therefore, the structure of products should be adjusted accordingly to adapt to social development. On the other hand, services should be improved to satisfy people’s demand for an improved quality of life.
