我的父亲
——一位著名演员女儿的自述
我并不是真正了解我的父亲，与他相处不太容易。在我看来，他总以自我为中心，还有一点自负，在某种程度上难以接近。公众一定以为他很随和，但在家里，他总是拒人于千里之外。
在我小的时候，他很少在家，因为在我的记忆里关于他的事不多。他总有点游离家庭生活之外。工作总是位于第一，他总是离家去拍戏或排练。他喜欢别人索要他的亲笔签名，喜欢得到赏识。他获得过几项大奖，并引以为荣。他还被英国皇室授予爵位，为此我们不得不去白金汉宫领取勋章。授勋典礼简直无聊透顶。由于有数百人获此勋章，因此你就不得不在那儿等上好几个小时。不管谁来我家拜访，他都要向来访者炫耀那些奖章。
我上了公立学校，由于对功课毫无兴趣，再加上无故旷课，我被勒令退学。我本来就不愿去那儿上学，因为我不得不离开我所有的朋友。把我送进那所学校父亲一定很满意，可到头来纯粹是在浪费钱。我猜我一定让他失望至极。我试过几份工作，但总无法安下心来。后来，我意识到我真正想做的就是在乡下照料家畜，这正是我现在所做的工作。
作为一家人，我们不仅住的不近，在情感上也不那么亲近。这些天我们很少互相走动。父亲和我性格迥异，或者说是外貌相似而性情不同。乡村是我的乐趣所在，而父亲却对我所讨厌的书本，音乐，尤其是歌剧感兴趣。就算他们真的来看我，也是穿着极其“不合地宜”的衣服---貂皮大衣，漂亮小巧的皮鞋，根本不适合在田间远足。
对于我的婚姻，他极力反对，并一直希望我们分手。我想是因为杰拉德出身太卑微了。父亲一定是想让我和名人结合，但我没有，就这么回事。我和丈夫不想要小孩，可父亲却不停地唠叨说想要个外孙。但总不能因为你想要个外孙就让别人生小孩吧。
我从不看他演的电视节目，不怎么想看。何况他还常忘了告诉我播出的时间。

叔公辞去牧师职务之谜
下面讲述的是一个有关我叔公的伤感而真实的故事。他是一个极好的、快活的、受人爱戴的人，身高超过6英尺4英寸，体重近300磅。他受过良好的教育，在20世纪初成为一个全职的牧师。尽管身躯庞大，但他温文尔雅，心地善良。叔公阿尔登·本特利唯一的缺点就是行动笨拙。年轻的时候，有一次，他去南卡罗林纳州的底谷给一个女教友布道。在落座时，一不留神把女主人椅子上的宠物狗“叮吱” 给压死了。当女主人满屋子找狗时，阿尔登才意识到他臀部底下坐着的是什么。他手忙脚乱地把那条狗塞入大衣，尽管心虚害怕，但他始终没能鼓起勇气告诉那个女人真相。
五年后，他旧地重游，要在那位女教友家逗留一夜。叔公下定决心要一吐为快，告诉女主人的“叮吱” 的死因。女主人刚刚为他准备了一个客房，并换上了崭新的窗帘。为了表示对他的欢迎，她还在他床边的桌子上摆上一大罐冰水和杯子，还有笔和墨水，以便他休息之前准备布道的文稿。
阿尔登叔公喜欢开着窗户睡觉，所以他半夜里起来开窗。在起床时，打翻了一杯东西，他以为是那杯水。他沿墙摸索想找到电灯开关，却怎么都找不到，只好又返回原路再找，如此反复几次，直到最后开了窗，他才回床安歇下来。第二天早上醒来睁眼一瞧，他惊呆了：两面墙上的新墙纸都沾上了黑乎乎的墨水印，雪白干净的窗帘上布满了他污黑庞大的手掌印，原来他夜里爬起来打翻的不是水杯，而是那瓶墨水。
阿尔登叔公惊恐万状。他知道，自己必须直面女主人了。他胡乱穿好衣服，飞奔下楼。由于走得太急，在楼梯口滑了一跤。叔公拼命想找个东西支撑平衡，情急之下一把逮住了最近的东西，恰好是个安在楼梯口墙上的漂亮的铜烛台。烛台被他一把从墙上硬拽下时还在咝咝地冒烟，即使“轰”的一声落在下面的楼梯平台上时，还被叔公死死地攥在手里。“伤着您了吗？” 女主人叫着跑到他身边。
“还好，” 阿尔登叔公边说边挣扎着站了起来，“只是我弄乱了你的房间。” 边说他边飞快地向门外逃去，但到了尽头他停下来，回过头，怀着深深的敬意，对女主人说：“你的狗
…叮吱? 是像基督徒一样被埋葬的。”
此后，阿尔登叔公就辞去了牧师的职务，到麻省州的一个私立预备学校教哲学，一直教了很多年。

因错得救
那是一个阴霾的下午，杰瑞·克莱姆动身去猎浣熊。随他同行的有他的老牧羊狗和两只猎兔犬幼仔。至少他说它们是小猎兔犬。一个月以前，当杰瑞告诉他哥哥鲍勃说自己花了
五美元买了那两只小狗时，鲍勃吼笑道：“你又犯傻了，杰瑞！”因而，鲍勃称呼两只幼仔为"错误1号"和"错误2号"。
杰瑞猎捕了好几个小时，一无所获，直到最后用尽了子弹，他不得不承认这两只幼仔无多大用处。临近傍晚，他在一棵山毛榉树高处发现了一只浣熊。这棵树四十英尺高，极古老，数年前就枯死了。树干顶部被风暴卷走了，树干本身由于腐烂和虫咬已毁损了。
然而，杰瑞还是爬上了树，想用手抓浣熊。但是他未能碰到这只动物。正当他到达残缺的树干的顶尖时，他踩的树枝在脚下不幸断裂了。他马上跳到树干的边缘，树干的边缘立刻被压断了。他一下子跌入了朽树的深洞里，事情发生的太突然了，杰瑞都没来得及叫一声。
他直摔下去，途中一根伸出的树枝挂住了他的衣服，悬空片刻，接着他又跌倒了。他颤抖地、茫然地爬起来，但奇怪的是没有受伤。
树洞里一片漆黑。他头顶上仅有圆盘大的灰蒙蒙的天空。脚下梨状小孔映出一小块淡淡的光。他可以听见两只幼仔朝着他叫，牧羊狗后退并且惊慌地叫着。
杰瑞害怕了。过了一段时间，他平静下来了，开始寻找出路。树干里没有东西可以抓着爬出去；他无法抓住帮助阻止他下跌的那根根株。他竭尽全力，却不能把脚下的那个孔踢
大。求救也无用，当时他离家太远。最后他决定派狗去寻求帮助。"回家，牧羊狗，回家！"他喊道。牧羊狗尖叫一声。"回家！"他又喊了一声。牧羊狗转身飞快地跨过田野，但两只幼仔仍原地不动，用叫声鼓励着主人。
夜幕来临。暴风雨袭来。闪电在头顶上闪过，雨水浇入了树洞。树洞里的空间仅够杰瑞站着，他被雨淋透了。他曾担心自己是否会淹死在那儿。但是雨水从顶部流入的同时又从脚下的那个孔流了出去。杰瑞可以听到两只幼仔在外面呜咽。他们被暴雨吓坏了，但并没有离开。相反，它们更接近树了，用嘴穿过小孔去舔主人的脚以示安慰。
同时牧羊狗跑过田野到了克莱姆家。它猛烈地叫着，以便鲍勃跟着它返回。但是当他们到达牧羊狗回家时曾奋力跃过的那道篱笆旁时，这只狗太累了再也不能跳过去了。最后，仅靠那两只双眼充满悲伤的幼仔的叫声引导鲍勃到了那棵树前。
营救队伍花了15个小时用绳子把杰瑞从浸透了的囚笼里拖出来------这时杰瑞浑身湿透了，又饿又累。
他们把他拖上来后，杰瑞反复唠叨："哎，天哪，我一直在想我会死在这儿，这是杰瑞的最后一次错误。但是幼仔没有放弃希望！牧羊狗去求助，幼仔自始至终陪着我！错误1号和错误2号---他们救了我的命。"

胶
我从报纸上看到空军正在试验一种新型胶，希望能将他们的几架飞机粘在一起。他们认为可以能够用胶代替机身上的铆钉，在生产过程中也许减轻机重和降低成本。我希望空军与胶打交道时能比我更幸运。
我们大多数人在用胶时所遇到的问题不能归咎于制胶商。这并不是他们的错。我们只是对胶要求过多罢了，无可否认，他们所展示的几张用一滴胶提起一头大象的图片，使我们过高地估计了胶的性能。用这种胶，我连一个盘子都粘不起来，他们却可以提起大象，连足球队员艾德·怀德都掰不开用这种胶粘起来的两片木块。
非常有趣的是，在生活中我们经常用胶粘东西。我一生用胶粘过许多东西，但大多数经历总是令人失望。我对胶的幻想早就破灭了。一个一年级的小孩告诉我，他妈妈说用面粉和水调成浆糊可以粘东西。对我而言，孩童时代，面粉和水的混合物从来没有有效过。
也许我没有掌握用胶的诀窍。很难想起当地五金店停止推行新型奇效粘合剂的时候。但在我看来，没有哪种胶真正有过奇效。
这则空军消息说，他们将物品的两面粘起后，置之于"一个250摄氏度、烤箱般的压力锅中一小时之久"。嗨，我只是碰巧没有用来加热的压力锅。也许这就是我粘的一半材料有分开的原因。
在办公室周围，我用水泥粘纸。这东西很好玩，而且粘稠度适宜则有效。问题是，大约一月左右我才用一次，放在坛子里它会变得很稠。我们有个一加仑罐装满了水泥稀释液，过了一年后，我用的稀释液比用的水泥还要多。
在地下室，我粘了许多木料。我曾尝试过用水调成的催化粉胶，也曾尝试过双组份环氧树脂胶、酪蛋白乳胶、胶泥、水胶以及新型超强力胶。胶和我简直不能相容。如果我夹起四条雌雄榫接合的支腿放进用榫接合的框架后用胶固定，就会发现一条腿比其他的三条短一英寸，因为在一个方向夹得太紧。胶顺腿流下，总而言之，我的工作一团糟。如果我在地下室中为空军粘飞机，国防部将非常遗憾。
当我修复破损的东西时，用胶的成功率很低。如果椅子的横档松了，你不得不把椅子拆开，在所有的横档孔里涂上胶，而后想方设法夹紧不平的两个面。
每当厨房里有破的瓷器珍品交给我去地下室修复时，我总将各部分对齐涂胶。由于无法用夹板夹住盘碟，所以我尽可能长时间地把它们拿在手里。当我一松劲儿，总会出现原来用胶粘在一起的两片不再对齐了。
我唯一能做的就是为空军部提供我最好的建议。我建议他们考虑别的方法，比如，带弹性的橡皮圈比胶强多了。我很少用带弹性的橡皮圈来解决棘手的问题。线或绳子可能是胶的替代品。空军部若是想用一滴液体提起一吨重的大象，我想他们会用胶水，但他们若想将东西连在一起，我推荐用胶水以外的其他东西。

学一门语言
当我们谈到学习一门语言，诸如英语、日语或西班牙语时，我们讲并且认为正在谈论中的语言是固定不变的。我们期望象学几何或学骑车一样系统学习并且最后的成功明了可见。许多人发现这仅是一种误解时便放弃了。实际上，他们开始了一份可以持续终生的工作。这种经验使他们不仅意识到如果想要成功就不得不努力工作，而且意识到在很多情况下，他们连自己所谓的母语也算不上精通。
其实，学习任何语言就像是一次永无止境的航行。当今世界上使用的成千上万语言中的每一种语言都是一件复杂的事情。许多语言确实有一种标准形式-----特别是书面语---这就是我们要学习的，然而，它们也可能有各种各样的地区方言和社会文体，许多是历史进程中和其他语言融合的产物。英语就是这样一种混合语言。大约不到二千年前开始使用。首先是一种古德语形式，与一种特殊的古法语发生了冲突，其后又吸取了一些拉丁语和希腊语。自那以后又吸收了它的使用者所接触的其他所有语言的点点滴滴。
关于语言的第二种常见误解是单词意思固定清楚。这种想法---无论不幸还是有幸---是远远不正确的。举个十分简单和具体的英语单词"man"为例。似乎足够清楚，指的是"成年男子"。当然的确如此，但是考虑一下下列句子：
1）There are several men missing in that chess set.
那副象棋缺了几颗棋子。
2）The boat was manned entirely by women and children.
这艘船全由妇女和小孩掌舵。
你可能争论说这些句子有点不自然。是的，它们不是单词"man"的日常主要用法，而是其中心意义的合理延伸。尤其有趣的是在第二个句子中它作动词用而不是名词。这表明我们期望成年男子做水手，而不是妇女，当然更不是小孩。语言中的一些乐趣和天赋很可能是由这种单词的细微差别的误用而产生的。别忘了，如果你叫一个人"猫"或"卷心菜"，虽
然你不是表达字面意思，但它们会被理解成许多意思。
关于语言的第三个误解是：每一种语言都被----- 或者说应该被它的所有使用者在任何地方同样地使用和理解。当然，一般说来，使用英国英语标准形式的人都能理解其在美国英语中的对等词。英语这两种主要形式相似程度极大。这些国家的讲方言的人在互相理解对方时有严重的障碍，甚至到了怀疑他们是否真正使用同一语言的程度。一个来自纽约布鲁克林的人与来自伦敦的伦敦佬交流有困难，一位古板的英国上校不会和一个加利福尼亚的"花孩儿"谈笑风生。然而他们都属于20世纪世界英语的巨大群体中的成员In other words

甩卖
让我们给"甩卖"这个词下一个传统定义，即商家推出的物美价廉的产品，也是一次让人们以低于实际价值的价格买到商品的机会。而近来又有了这样的定义：甩卖是商家使用的从傻子与无头脑的人们口袋中骗取钱财的伎俩。
我从未参加过任何一家大型公司的董事会议，但可以肯定这样的会总是围绕以下事宜展开。以牙膏为例，生产一种新产品的成本费使得80便士为其合理价格，而我们将其市场价格定为1英镑20便士。这种牙膏不算很差（尽管不是很好，但也不坏），加之人们乐于尝试新事物的心理，因此起初它销量会很可观。但是新鲜的吸引力一过, 销量自会下跌，于是我们将价格降到1英镑15便士，还打着甩货的幌子贴出“买一盒牙膏省五便士”的海报，人们则争先恐后地抢购，尽管抢购价比合理价位高出大约43%。
有时不是省5便士，而只是省1便士而已。"只要您购买香皂、洗衣粉、狗食或其他商品均可享受1便士的优惠。" 这样的广告是一种让人难以忍受的屈辱。即使是最穷困的高龄养老金领取者也应当认为这是一种侮辱行为，然而却没有人这样想。甩货是不能错过的嘛！而这1便士的礼物就像你应邀去参加一场丰盛的晚宴却只提供一粒烹饪考究的豌豆。即使1便士真实地反映了产品的降价，可它仍然是一种侮辱。然而，人们会说，反正我们不能没有洗衣粉这样的东西，还是买那个能省1便士的好了。记得当我在匈牙利时，还是个孩子，有一个人就因为1 pengo （等值于1先令）而被指控谋杀，并且他认了罪。法官义愤填膺："就为了1先令去杀人……你还要为自己辩护什么？"凶手答道："这儿1先令……那儿1先令。"这也正是今天的商家所说：这儿1便士……那儿1便士。
随着那些完全没有必要的东西成了“便宜货”，真正的危机也如期而至。一大群人都无法抵制甩卖和降价的诱惑。只要他们在买甩卖品，他们就会买这辈子都不会穿的衣服，没有地方安置的家具。老太太会买溜冰鞋，不吸烟的人则买烟斗通条。我还听说一个人在甩卖时买了一个电动圆锯，结果第二天就割掉了两根手指，可他并不后悔：这个锯子真是很便宜啊！
事实上，很多人都相信买甩货是有利可图的。我认识一个楚楚动人，似乎心志很健全的女士，她常给我讲这样的故事：今天太走运了，只花120英镑就买到了一件原价400的连衣裙。那感觉好像是她赚了280英镑。我确信她也认为如果再多花点时间购物，就可以靠此谋生了。
由于商品的贱价出售，有人则大批量购买。我听说有一对夫妇忍不住购买了大量的糖，他们认为这是万万不能错过捡大便宜的好时机，于是买足了供他们一辈子用的糖，就连他们的孩子辈和子孙辈都够用了。可当糖运到家中时，他们意识到没有地方储存，直到发现卫生间还算宽敞，糖理所当然被堆在那里。每当他们往客人咖啡里加糖时，不仅客人总觉得古怪，而且连卫生间也变得粘粘糊糊的。
主动甩卖是一种商业诡计，使穷人变得更穷。如果那些贪婪的傻子上当受骗，那也是活该。无论如何，如果甩卖被依法禁止的话，我们的生活标准会立即上涨7.39个百分点。

我对于第一次世界大战的记忆是十分模糊的，因为1914年的时候我才一岁，所以那段日子很快就被忘记了。我记得我的父亲是皇家炮兵上尉，大多数时间都在前线冲锋陷阵，并获得了十字勋章。我和我的母亲、比我年长七岁的姐姐玛丽、小我两岁的弟弟约翰，还有我们的保姆住在贝斯沃德的小阁楼上。我们还偶尔去勃克沙尔度假。（后来我们才知道约翰的癫痫病已经病入膏肓，这象一团阴影笼罩了我们的生活，但当时我们是一无所知。）不知对于我的这种情况在心理学上是否有解释，但我最清晰的战时记忆是半夜被弄醒。如果有空袭发生，我们小孩子就被弄醒来，裹在毯子里送到我的住在邻街公寓的祖父母的
地下室里。这是一种躲避一战时那种空投弹的合理措施。我们小孩子是最喜欢那种激动人心的场面了。我还记得父亲常常没有预先通知就回家而把我们弄醒的情景。有一次，我们全住在乡下的一个小农舍里（这里后来成了我们经常度假的地方），父亲花了老大工夫来找我们。当时已是深夜，他已经到达了离我们七英里的瑞丁车站，他找不到任何交通工具，所以不得不一路步行走向通往我们村庄的乡间小路，而他对这条路也不熟悉。后来父亲告诉我们他在离我们住处两英里远的一个叫"日出"的小酒店叫醒女店主问路，结果女店主对于被吵醒非常地愤怒，不肯给父亲指路，把我们气死了。最后父亲终于找到了我们，我们热情地拥抱在一起。一战时许多村民都很安全，但他们把自己裹在自私的蚕茧里，但是在最后一场战争中人们拥有大部分相似的经历，因而人与人之间也变得宽宏大量，不再斤斤计较了。
五岁之前我记得的唯一的事情就是发脾气时把一条该死的灯笼裤剪成了碎片。那条灯笼裤是一条绿色的弹力裤，剪开后抽出亮亮的丝。但我为此付出的代价是相当恐怖的。我们家是不体罚孩子的，我们的惩罚就是"取消"，我被剥夺了那渴望已久的"圣诞童子会"。我更不能因为不小心打碎了杯子而不受惩罚，就连今天在情景喜剧中那种为搏一笑而打破瓷器的事情都让我战栗不已。我惧怕我的双亲。我出生得太早，没有享受斯博克医生所倡导的抚养小孩的方法，却赶上了维多利亚女王时期的那种父母亲永远是对的，小孩子总是错的哲学末班车。当时教育孩子最正当的目标就是没完没了的批评。这些使我在同伴面前非常害羞，而且当我是个孩子的时候，我没有一点我那幸运的孙子孙女们的社会优越感，除非能证明这一切恰好相反，否则他们认为成人应是他们的朋友

天赋为失败而献祭
我年轻时去过美国的阿巴拉契亚山，从那儿我了解到农民们都重男轻女。这主要是因为男孩子们更适合做繁重的农活。在当今的美国仅有3% 的人口从事农业，脑力劳动取代了体力劳动。然而，人们的文化偏见就像恶习，易立难破。但历史教训时刻警示着世人们不要随意否定那些所谓的性别上的弱者的能力，否则将会付出悲剧性的代价。
大约在150年以前，在英国的约克郡有个乡村牧师，他有三个聪明伶俐的女儿，然而他却把毕生的希望全都寄托在他惟一的儿子勃兰威尔身上。这个年轻人在艺术与文学方面有着非凡的天赋。
勃兰威尔的父亲和姐妹们拿出家里所有的积蓄把他送到英国皇家艺术学校深造，但是，如果把艺术作为他人生的目标的话，他显然选错了方向。短短几周不到，他迅速离开学校返回家中，失败得毫无价值。
家人对他依旧抱有很高的期望，他们为他找了份私人家教的工作，希望这能使他有足够自由发展的空间，提高写作技巧，最后获得他本应获得的成功和名誉。但又一次以失败告终。
多年来他无私的姐妹们一如既往地支持着他，为了支援她们债台高筑的兄弟，她们努力压抑自己的追求，劳累奔波, 做着老师和家庭女教师。她们深信总有一天兄弟的才华会为世人瞩目。然而她们的兄弟在经过一次又一次的失败打击后，开始酗酒，吸毒，自暴自弃，最终由于不得志抑郁而死。他的去世带走了家人深厚的期望，但那同样出类拔萃的三姐妹后来怎样了呢？
在勃兰威尔最后的几年里，三姐妹自费出版了一部诗集（用的是笔名，怕引起评论家的性别歧视），但只售出了两本。可能连勃兰威尔也暗地里嘲笑过此事。
然而她们并没有因此而灰心丧气，在闲暇时她们仍是不停地写，时常写到深夜。在微弱的烛光里不停地写，尽情地宣泄着被压抑的情感，写她们最能够体会的关于女人的东西----即女人的自然欲望与世俗的抵触与矛盾----都很现实，没有自传那么夸张、脱离实际。这三姐妹的作品：安的《艾格尼斯格雷》，爱米莉的《呼啸山庄》和夏洛特的《简爱》，在19世纪的文坛引起轩然大波。
长年累月为勃兰威尔劳累奔波终于使她们付出了代价，爱米丽在他兄弟的葬礼上病倒了，三个月后去世，死时才29岁；安在五个月后也去世了，年仅30岁；而夏洛特只活了39岁。要是她们也像她们的兄弟一样被呵护、培养，而不只是付出和牺牲的话，就不会出现这样的悲剧了。
没人记得勃兰威尔是谁，更别提他的文学艺术成就，然而他的姐妹们那悲惨而又短暂的一生留给后人的人生道理超过文学本身。她们的牺牲提醒我们在现代我们不能从体力和性别来估价孩子，因为那都只是表面肤浅的东西，我们要看中他们的诚实、坚强、专注和勇气—--男孩、女孩双方的精神世界是否丰富。
勃朗特培养了勃兰威尔，更重要的是他的三个女儿。要是今天他仍然活着的话，他一定会鼓励世人抛开腐朽观念，以免重蹈他的覆辙。像他那样孤注一掷造成了无可挽回的过失In other words

第九讲高中英语翻译技巧与能力训练(上)[讲义]
高考英语翻译技巧与能力训练 高考英语中的翻译（中译英）题要求考生能应用所学过的语法和词汇来准确地表达思想，是一种要求相当高的考查形式。要求考生把中文的句子译成通顺的、语法结构正确的、符合英语表达习惯的英语句子，并能准确地传达中文句子中的每一个信息。该题型全面地考查学生英语词汇、语法等知识的综合运用能力，它对学生的动词时态、语态、名词的单复数、冠词、形容词、副词、介词等应用能力，还对学生的词组、句型、句子结构等进行了全面考查。翻译不仅在高考英语主观题中占不小的比例，而且翻译能力还直接影响考生在作文中的表现。 高考评分标准: 1．每题中单词拼写、标点符号、大小写错误每两处扣一分；2．语法错误（包括时态错误）每处扣一分；3．译文没用所给的单词扣一分。 如何才能提高中译英水准，在高考中获得理想的分数呢？考生除了必须具备比较扎实的语言基础外，关键还在于学会总结规律，找准中译英的切入点。 一、分析句子结构、寻找合适的句型 中文必须仔细读，一定要看的就是题目给我们的关键字或关键的词组，也就是我们常说的key words。尤其是最后两句翻译句子，它们大都在句子结构上提高了难度。读什么？读出句子结构：对于简单句，辨别出主谓宾，分清定语、同位语和状语；对于并列句，记住两个语法意义上独立的分句，须由连词连接起来；对于复合句，须区分定语从句，名词性从句以及状语从句。一般来说，中译英的句型可分为三大类：1.简单句；2.并列句；3.复合句；同时我们也要注意非谓语动词及其他一些特殊结构。回顾近几年的高考试题时，也不难发现试题中考了一些特殊句式。如：It句型(近几年考得较为频繁)、倒装句、with结构。 例1: 昨天我的电脑坏了。(wrong) 解析：本题考查：1)简单句There be结构；2)wrong的用法；3)中英文表达的差异。 译句：There was something wrong with my computer yesterday. 例2: 遇到困难的时候，我们需要的不是彼此埋怨，而是互相帮助。(not…but) 解析：本题考查：1)复合句：when引导的状语从句；what引导的主语从句；2)not…but结构；3)“彼此埋怨”的英文翻译。 译句：When(we are)in difficulty/When we meet with difficulties/When we have difficulties ,what we need is not to blame each other but to help each other. 例3：我们能做什么来阻止这种疾病蔓延呢？（prevent） 分析：如果有学生没有读全中文原句的话，就很有可能看成是以前所做的“我们要做些什么来阻止这种疾病的蔓延”，而译为We should do something to prevent the spread of this disease.因为这个原因而造成扣分，就太不应该了。 译句：What can we do to prevent the spread of this disease? 例4：他很有可能通过自己的努力得到驾驶执照。（likely） 译句：He is likely to get the driving license with his own efforts. 分析：有些学生一看到有可能，就会想到自己比较熟悉的possible，想当然地翻译成It is possible that…的结构。其实，学生对likely这个key word的使用也是会的，完全能够使用be likely to do或It’s likely th at…的结构。 例5：上海近几年经历了许多变化，如今已成为世界闻名的经济中心。（go through） 分析：乍一看，学生很容易轻易下笔，Shanghai has gone through…,it has become…，这已成为很多学生的一个习惯，句子和句子中随便用逗号隔开，英语不像中文，必须要考虑到句子的结构，逗号也不能随意使用。而此句中，就要想到用并列句中的连接词and来连接两个成分。

新视野大学第三版book1英语课后翻译答案 Unit1 苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。他是一个谜一般的人物，人们主要通过后来的一些古典作家的叙述，尤其是他最著名的学生柏拉图的作品去了解他。苏格拉底以他对伦理学的贡献而闻名。他的教学法亦称为苏格拉底法，即通过提问和回答来激发批判性思维以及阐述观点。该方法在各种讨论中仍被普遍使用。他还在认识论和逻辑领域作出了重大而深远的贡献。他的思想和方法所带来的影响一直是后来的西方哲学的坚实基础。苏格拉底是古代哲学史上最丰富多彩的人物。他在他那个时代已威名远扬。虽然他未曾建立什么哲学体系，未曾设立什么学派，也未曾创立什么宗派，但他的名字很快就变得家喻户晓了。 Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient “sage”. His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analectshas had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years’traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius’thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society. In the 21st century, Confucian thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community. Unit2 圣诞节是一个被广泛庆祝的文化节日，全世界有许许多多的人在12月25日庆祝这一节日。它是为了纪念耶稣基督的诞辰。该节日最早可追溯到公元336年。渐渐地，这一节日演变为一个既是宗教又是非宗教的节日，越来越多的非基督徒也庆祝圣诞节。如今，圣诞节在全球被作为一个重大的节日和公共假日来庆祝。不同国家的圣诞节风俗也各不相同。现代流行的圣诞接风俗包括交换圣诞贺卡和圣诞礼物、唱圣诞歌曲、参加教堂活动、摆放各种圣诞装饰品和圣诞树、举行家庭聚会以及准备一顿特别的大餐。对小孩子们来说，这个节日充满了幻想和惊喜。据传说，圣诞老人会在圣诞夜从烟囱进入每户人家，给乖巧听话的孩子带来礼物。由于圣诞节送礼物以及许多其他方面推动了基督徒和非基督徒的经济活动，圣诞节也因此成为商家的一个重大活动和主要销售季。 According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August 15 of every year is a traditional Chinese festival-the Mid-Autumn Festival. This day is the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn. One of the important Mid-Autumn Festival activities is to enjoy the moon. On that night, people gather together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, looking up at the bright moon and eating moon cakes. The festival is also a time for family reunion. People living far away from home will express their feelings of missing their hometowns and families at this festival, all expressing people’s love and hope for a happy life. Since 2008, the Mid-Autumn Festival has become an official national holiday in China.

论文：浅析英语翻译能力提升的障碍和策略
论文：浅析英语翻译能力提升的障碍和策略摘要：翻译能力是英语综合能力的重要组成部分，也是英语专业学生必需具备的基本能力。要全面提升英语翻译能力，需要了解英汉两种文化的差异性，具备深厚的语言功底，掌握熟练的翻译技巧。 关键字：英语翻译能力；提升；障碍；策略 中西文化差异是影响英语翻译能力提升的重要因素，除了文化因素外，英语翻译能力的提升还受到其他因素的影响，本文将进一步的展开叙述影响英语翻译能力提升的障碍及其相应的策略。 一、影响英语翻译能力提升的障碍 1．中西文化的差异性容易造成英语翻译误会 英语翻译就是汉语和英语相互转换的过程，这个过程不仅仅是一种语言现象，也体现了跨文化现象。具体来说，中西方的文化差异体现在文化传统、生活习惯、价值观念和思维方式等方面，而这些层面的差异性往往会造成人们对同一事物有着不同的理解和解释，因此不同文化的差异性容易造成英语翻译的误会。比如，生活中最常见的信封的写法，在中国，习惯的书写顺序是国名，省、市、县、街道，最后才是收信人姓名。而在西方国家信封的书写顺序恰好相反。因此在学习英语知识的同时，需要更加注意对英语文化知识的了解和掌握。
2．语言基础知识掌握不扎实，影响了翻译的准确性 英语翻译就是英汉两种语言之间的相互转换，在转换的过程中主要涉及两个方面，首先翻译者要正确地领悟原文的意思，其次要通过译文将原文确切的表达出来，达到“信达雅”的标准。因此翻译者需要牢固地掌握英汉两种语言。但是由于多方面的因素，翻译者的语言基础知识掌握不扎实，很多翻译者的词汇量太少，经常背了忘，而又不重视巩固复习，或者死记硬背不会灵活运用，此外，语法掌握也不扎实，对一些基本的句型模棱两可，不能正确理解更不会运用。 二、提升英语翻译能力的具体策略 1．通过词汇、语法和阅读，了解中西文化之间的差异性 在英语的学习中，提高英语翻译能力，不仅要加强英语语言知识的学习，还要注重对英语文化知识的了解。具体来说，可以通过词汇、语法以及阅读等的学习获取英语文化知识。 首先，通过词汇的学习了解中西文化知识。词汇是英语语言的基本元素，掌握词汇的过程中，仅仅注重词汇正确的拼写和准确的发音是远远不够的，更主要的是学会如何恰当的运用词汇和组织词汇。因此，在背诵英语词汇意思的基础之上还需要进一步了解词汇产生的文化背景知识，尤其是了解习语、谚语和成语这一类词语的文化内涵、感情色彩以及

英语翻译习题
The rapid endangerment and death of many minority languages across the world is a matter of widespread concern, not only among linguists and anthropologists but among all interested in the issues of cultural identity in an increasingly globalized culture. A leading commentator and popular writer on language issues, David Crystal asks the fundamental question, "Why is language death so important?", reviews the reason for the current crisis, and investigates what is being done to reduce its impact. By some counts, only 600 of the 6,000 or so languages in the world are "safe" from the threat of extinction. By some reckonings, the world will, by the end of the twenty-first century, be dominated by a small number of major languages. Language Death provides a stimulating and accessible account of this alarming trend, which, like the large-scale destruction of the environment, is both peculiarly modern and increasingly global. Language Death includes intelligent argument and moving descriptions of the decline and demise of particular languages, as well as practical advice for anyone interested in pursuing the subject further.
浅议英语翻译能力的培养-文档资料
浅议英语翻译能力的培养 高等学校很注重培养英语专业学生的翻译能力。要具备一定的翻译能力，学生必须具有深厚的语言功底?p广博的文化知识?p熟练的翻译技巧?p正确的翻译观念和严谨的翻译态度。因此，要培养和提高英语专业学生的翻译能力，教师应该从以下几个方面入手。 一?p掌握好汉语和英语的基础知识 翻译是一个语言转换的过程。从根本上讲，这个过程要解决两个问题：一是如何深刻地理解原文；二是如何用译文确切地表达原文的意思。因此，译者要较好地掌握英语和汉语两种语言，具备较强的语言理解能力和表达能力，这是做好翻译的前提条件。 从语言学角度讲，英语和汉语之间最大的区别莫过于形合和意合的区别。英语是重形合的语言，即英语中词语或句子间的连接主要依靠连接词来完成。汉语是重意合的语言，即汉语中词语或句子间的连接主要依靠语义或句子之间的逻辑关系来完成。例如“他今天没来，母亲住院了”（Hedidnotcometodaybecausehis mother was hospitalized），在这个例子中，汉语原文在表达因果关系时，没有使用任何表示因果关系的词汇，但是读者一看就能理解。然而，在翻译成英语的时候，必须加上连接词because，否则就会出现语法错误。二?p积累广博的文化知识 翻译材料涉及面极广，学生要具备渊博的知识。具体来说，文学性的翻译需要学生具备广博的文化知识，科技翻译需要学生具备相关的专业知识。另外，学生还要掌握大量的习语和俚语，这样在翻译时才不会被句子的字面意义所迷惑。如“I decidedto sit at his feet”这句话的字面意思是“我决定坐在他的脚上”，但实际上，“sit at his feet”是一个习语，表示“拜他为师”。 三?p培养严谨的翻译态度 英语和汉语的句子结构复杂，词汇意义也复杂多变，在翻译中出现错误是难以避免的，但是教师应该让学生尽量避免错误，避免粗枝大叶，望文生义。此外，学生在翻译时还应多关注细节，如单词的拼写?p标点符号?p小词等。例如，“中国政府”应该翻译成Chinese government还是the Chinese government这
