英译中The Age of Navel GazingBritney finishes what Buddha started--everywhere you turn, the belly is the season's hottest button.Close your eyes and try to picture Britney with her navel covered. Can't do it, right? That's because you've never seen it covered. That's because it never has been. Say this, much for the young siren, though: she has helped liberate that six-inch swath of skin below the bra and above the belt for every X-chromosomal American, no matter how old, no matter what shape.Navels are nothing new--scientists say we've had them at least since Madonna's "Like a Virgin" world tour--but this season they're everywhere. On billboards. In the workplace. Singing in a commercial for Levi's. This fall Levi's plans to launch a line of jeans called "Two Low", with two buttons instead of the usual five. "It's actually dangerously low," warns (or boasts) Anna Brockway, director of the marketing.In some ways, the navel is an odd region to attract our prurient gaze. It's completely functionless, notes Atlanta-based cosmetic surgeon Dr. V ince Zubowicz. "It's just depressed scar tissue. There's nothing magic about it.Oh, but there is, Doc. Like fingerprints and snowflakes, no two navels are alike. And there's the marvelous shape, which closely resembles the following things: (a)curlicue, (b)pinwheel, (c)conch, (d)black hole. And what do these have in common? That's right, they are all fun to look at. There's also the tease factor. "We know it's a stone's throw away from the real goods, and that sends the imagination racing," someone remarked.Even in ancient history, people understood the navel's potency. In early religion it was "a profound symbol of cosmic fertility". Hindu art also mythologized the navel as a birth totem, and Middle Eastern culture is renowned for the belly dance. In contemporary pop culture, the navel is perhaps best known for being obscured. In other words, navel gazing is hardwired into the human libido. Americans are just now finally coming around. Some people think that the current navel vogue is "more a symptom of cultural childishness than sexual sophistication ... It's now just an adornment, like a badge or a brooch."英译中崇尚肚脐的时代作者：hog-on-ice小甜甜布莱妮把释迦牟尼的独创推向了登峰造极——无伦你转向何方，肚脐永远是这个季节最热辣的焦点。

1. 刺绣（embroidery）是一种具有悠久传统的民间艺术，在中国艺术和手工艺品史上占有重要地位。
刺绣的长期发展离不开蚕的饲养与纺丝技术的发展。
中国是世界上第一个发现和使用丝绸的国家。
早在5000年前，中国就已经开始饲养蚕。
丝线和丝制品的生产促进了刺绣艺术的诞生。
时至今日，丝绣几乎传遍整个中国。
最好的绣品通常被认为来源于下面四省：江苏（尤其是苏州）、湖南、四川和广东，各省绣品各有特色。
Embroidery, a folk art with a long tradition, has an important position in the history of Chinese arts and crafts. During the course of its long development, embroidery has become inseparable from the raising of silkworms, silk reeling and weaving.China was the first country in the world where silk was woven. Silkworms were domesticated as early as some 5,000 years ago. The production of silk threads and fabrics gave rise to the art of embroidery. Today, silk embroidery is practiced nearly all over China. it is generally agreed that the best commercial products come for four provinces: Jiangsu(notably), Hunan, Sichuan and Guangdong , each with its distinctive features.2. 川剧（Sichuan Opera）就像四川火锅以及其他的名菜一样动人、丰富。
英译汉-翻译参考译文
练习1 美国印象☐我恐怕不能把美国描绘成十足的天堂——从一般角度来说，也许我对这个国家所知甚少。
我说不出它的经度或纬度；我算不出它出产谷物的价值；我对它的政治也不十分熟悉。
这些东西可能不会使你感兴趣，它们当然也不会让我感兴趣。
☐在美国上岸后得到的第一个深刻印象，就是美国人可能算不上世界上穿得最漂亮的，但却是穿得最舒服的。
那里看得到男人头戴着不堪入目的烟囱式高顶礼帽，但很少有不戴帽子的男人；还看到穿着难看至极的燕尾服的男人，但很少有不穿外套的男人。
美国人的穿戴显得舒适，这和在我国常可以看到的人们衣衫褴褛的情形形成了鲜明的对比。
☐我特别注意到的第二个特点是，似乎每个人都在急着赶火车。
这种情形对诗歌和浪漫爱情是不利的。
要是罗密欧和朱丽叶老是为乘火车而担心，或是在为返城车票而烦恼，莎士比亚就不可能写出那几幕如此富有诗意与伤感情调的阳台戏了。
☐美国是世界上最嘈杂的国家。
在早晨，不是夜莺的歌声，而是汽笛的呜叫把人们唤醒。
美国人讲求实际的头脑这么健全，却没有想到要降低这种令人难以忍受的噪音，真叫人吃惊。
所有艺术都依赖于精细微妙的敏锐感觉，这样持续不断的喧嚣，最终一定会损害人的音乐天赋。
☐美国城市没有牛津、剑桥、索尔兹伯里和温彻斯特那么美丽，那些地方有优雅时代的美好遗迹；虽然不时还是可以看到许多美的东西，但只能在美国人没有存心创造美的地方。
在美国人有意创造美的地方，他们显然没有成功。
美国人的突出特点，便是他们把科学应用于现代生活的那种态度。
☐在纽约走马观花地一走，这一点就一目了然了。
在英国人们常把发明家视作狂人，发明带来的是失望与穷困的例子简直不胜枚举。
在美国发明家受到尊重，他随时可以得到人们的帮助。
在那里心灵手巧、把科技应用于人类的劳动，是致富的捷径。
没有一个国家比美国更爱机器的了。
☐或许，值得指出的是，被许多人指为美国式英语的其实是老的英国式表达，它们在我国已经消失，却在我们的殖民地里留存下来。
许多人以为美国人常说的“I guess”（“我猜”）纯粹是一种美国式表达，但约翰∙洛克在他的The understanding (《理解论》）中就用过这种说法，就像我们现在使用“I think”（“我想”）一样。

英译中AIDS Campaign to Focus on Migrants, StudentsFor most migrant workers, AIDS may seem remote and alien. But this situation will soon be a thing of the past.Migrant workers and university students will be listed as two major target groups of the AIDS prevention education campaign, a senior official from the Ministry of Health told a seminar in Beijing on Saturday.The move will give a huge boost to China’s war against AIDS. Migrant workers, many of them poorly educated, usually have little if any knowledge of this deadly infectious disease. Mainly in their 20s and 30s, they are in a sexually active age group. Considering the fact that many migrant workers live away from their spouses, it is obviously urgent to inform them on how to stop the spread of AIDS.The identification of university students as a major target group for HIV/AIDS education also makes sense. Though well educated, they usually have had little or no sex education at middle school. The near non-existence of sex education and their sexually active nature make students, who also tend to be more liberal in their sex lives, an at-risk group.In the past, only intravenous drug users and prostitutes were considered at-risk or high-risk groups. When China’s first AIDS case was detected in 1985, it was thought to be something associated with “capitalist evils”, or an exotic disease about which China need not worry. According to official statistics, China now has 840,000 people infected with HIV and more than 80,000 AIDS patients.Considering the huge population, abysmally low public awareness about HIV/AIDS and the frail public health system, China faces an uphill battle against this fatal disease. Prevention through education has proved to be the most effective weapon to curb this deadly scourge, which, if not checked, will result in catastrophe. Although China discovered this method a little late, which is the reason why much of society is ill informed, it has begun to change tack in recent years.英译中抗击艾滋病将关注于民工和大学生作者：xiaoliuliu对于大多数民工来说，艾滋病可能看起来遥远而陌生。
专八翻译练习(英译汉)
英语专八考试翻译练习(英译汉)中文原文（1）万事万物由方方面面组成,而那个“男女都一样”的口号，只是向女人提出要求,却没有相同的口号要求男人和女人做得一样:一样耐心持久地抚育孩子一样任劳任怨地操持家务;一样尽心尽责地侍奉老人。
仔细想想，“男女都一样”的口号曾鼓励着许多妇女竭力地建树了和男人一样的丰功伟绩，同时，女人却依然要做那些和男人不一样的事。
其实，所谓“一样”的口号，使女人在做着女人的同时再做男人；其实,所谓“一样”的口号，让女人们又给自己加重了一挑担子；其实，女人和男人在根本上还是不一样的.（2）有两只老虎,一只在笼子里,一只在野地里。
在笼子里的老虎三餐无忧，在外面的老虎自由自在。
笼子里的老虎总是羡慕外面老虎的自由，外面的老虎却羡慕笼子里的老虎安逸。
一日，一只老虎对另一只老虎说:“咱们换一换."另一只老虎同意了。
于是笼子里的老虎走进了大自然，野地里的老虎走进了笼子。
但不久,两只老虎都死了。
一只是饥饿而死，一只是忧郁而死.许多时候,人们往往对自己的幸福熟视无睹，而觉得别人的幸福很耀眼，却想不到别人的幸福也许对自己不合适。
(3）张恨水先生曾写过一篇《为人应当接受批评》，他说：“生平很少和人打笔墨官司,就是人家指出我的名姓来教训一顿，我也不曾回复一个字。
这样做，我并非怯懦，也并非过分的容忍。
我有个感想，我错了,止谤莫如自修。
我不错，最好借事实来答复。
这是一个办法，也许不适合他人，但至少我自己，在做人上纠正了不少错误。
而三十年来的写作生涯，略有寸进,一大半也就是根据别人的批评而得的。
” 恨水先生对待批评的态度，很值得当今文化人学习。
（4）一头驮着沉重货物的驴，气喘吁吁地请求仅驮了一点货物的马:“帮我驮点东西吧。
对你来说，这不算什么；可对我来说，却可以减轻不少负担。
"马不高兴地回答:“你凭什么让我帮你驮东西，我乐得轻松呢。
” 不久,驴累死了。
主人将驴背上的所有货物全部加在马背上,马懊悔不已。

英语四级翻译练习与译文【翻译原文】放鞭炮曾是春节庆祝活动中最重要的习俗之一。
然而，担心燃放鞭炮可能会带来危险和烦人的噪音，政府已在许多大城市下令禁止燃放鞭炮。
但在小城镇和农村地区的人们仍然坚持这种传统的庆祝活动。
除夕夜一旦时钟撞响午夜12点钟，城市和乡镇都被烟花的闪闪光芒映亮，鞭炮声震耳欲聋。
一家人熬夜就为这个欢乐的时刻，孩子们一手拿鞭炮，一手拿火机兴高采烈地点放着他们在这个特殊节日的快乐，尽管他们吓得捂着耳朵。

But people in small towns and rural areas still hold to this traditional celebration. Right as the clock strike 12 oclock midnight of New Years Eve, cities and towns are lit up with the glitter from fireworks, and the sound can be deafening. Families stay up for this joyful moment and kids with firecrackers in one hand and a lighter in another cheerfully light their happiness in this especial occasion, even though they plug their ears.【翻译原文】在春节第一天或此后不久，大家都穿着新衣服，带着弓向亲戚和朋友打招呼并恭喜(祝贺)，彼此祝愿在新的一年里好运，幸福。
【专八】专八翻译练习汉译英50篇与参考译文
126专八翻译练习汉译英50篇及参考译文Translate the underlined part of the text into English.1．在兽类中我最爱虎，在虎的故事中我最爱下面的一个。
深山中有一所古庙，几个和尚在那里过着单调的修行生活。
同他们做朋友的，除了有时上山来的少数乡下人外，就是几只猛虎。
虎不惊扰僧人，却替他们守护庙宇。
作为报酬，和尚把一些可吃的东西放在庙门前。
每天傍晚，夕阳染红小半个天空，虎们成群地走到庙门口，吃了东西，跳跃而去。
庙门大开，僧人们安然在庙内做他们的日课，也没有谁出去看虎怎样吃东西，即使偶尔有一二和尚立在门前，虎们亦视为平常的事情，把他们看做熟人，不去惊动，却斯斯文文地吃完走开。
如果看不见僧人，虎就发出几声长啸，随着几阵风飞腾而去。
2．光绪二十六年，八国联军攻占北京。
慈禧太后弃城而走，一直逃到西安。
和谈开始后，她并未马上返回北京。
起初，外国列强的要求里面有一项是让慈禧太后退位，由光绪帝重新执掌朝廷。
不过，在与李鸿章多次会谈后，他们放弃了这一要求。
第二年正式签署和约，随后过了一个月慈禧才终于从西安动身。
她对外国人万分惧怕，正像她对国人无比傲慢一样。
她在河南停留了很长一段时间，到了保定又逗留多日，好不容易才回到北京。
据野史记载，在这漫长的旅途中还发生了一件趣事。
一位地方官员送给慈禧一只猴子，她颇为高兴，竟下旨给那只猴子穿黄马褂。
后来太监报告说，有的官员发出了“人不如猴”的感慨，慈禧这才发现自己的决定有些荒唐，于是又下旨给随行官员每人一件黄马褂。
得到这殊荣之后，大家真不知道该感谢慈禧还是感谢那只猴子。
3. 中国对香港的政策是“一国两制”，这个原则不仅对香港经济发展有利，而且和中国本身的利益也是一致的。
我们不想使香港政府在过渡时期无法正常行使其职能，恰恰相反，我们希望它能有效地管理香港的事务，中英联合声明和建造新机场的谅解备忘录就是最好的保证。
至于1997年以后的，全国人民大会已通过了《中华人民共和国香港特别行政区基本法》。

翻译练习（一）Businesses in all industrial countries are confronted with an increasingly diverse workforce, and must deal with the issues of diverse languages and cultures everyday. Interculturalcommunication is an important topic not just for international business but for domestic business as well. The question is what businesses need to do to build a team with common goals, which is not an easy task.翻译练习（二）In the next 20 years, the Chinese government will devote itself to the overall construction of a moderately developed society, and to the continual implementation of the strategy of developing the country through science and education. It will give priority to the development of education, energetically exploit education and human resources, turn the burden of a large population into an advantage, heighten the national ideological and ethical standards as well as cultural and scientific qualities, and form a complete modern national education system.翻译练习（三）West China is abundant in natural resources, fascinating in scenery and sparsein population, which makes it an ideal environment for investment. Large-scale development will have significant impact on China’s ongoing effort to shake off poverty. A prosperous and wealthywest is what the Chinese are striving for (is the goal that the Chinese are seeking to attain).翻译练习（四）Many Chinese students cannot speak the foreign languages they have studied for so long. Is it the same in mathematics, physics and chemistry and so on? If it is true, they would not be able to come out of the university as real scientists. Nor would they continue with the search for knowledge under their own steam, and to continue to grow and innovate intellectually as their experiences multiply and diversify.翻译练习（五）The increasing (mounting) number of nature reserves shows (suggests) the better awareness of environmental protection. Protecting (protection of) endangered species and preserving (maintaining) biological diversity have taken on new urgency. The biggest difficulty facing this program is the lack of fund and shrink of animals’habitats. It is hoped (Hopefully) departments concerned can look ahead rather than focus exclusively on short-term interests.翻译练习（六）There’s a limit to what a student can achieve through teaching, but no limit to what he can accomplish through self-learning. This is because true learning only comes from within the learner himself. And the chief responsibility of an instructor is not to teach but rather to organizesituations in which learners can learn.翻译练习（七）China is a country seriously short of water. The water availability per person in the country is only 2200 cubic meters, which is only a quarter of the world average. The problem is more serious in the cities, with more than 440 cities out of 660 facing water shortage problem. Some universities have already taken steps to enhance students’awareness of the significance of saving water. Some universities have introduced a water card to measure the use of water.翻译练习（八）Expo 2010 Shanghai will be a great event in its exploration of the urban life potential in the 21stcentury. Being the first World Expo on the theme of city, Expo 2010 Shanghai will attract governmental institutions and people across the world. In a period of 184 days, participants will display the urban civilization to its full extent, share their experience for urban development, and explore lifestyles and working conditions in the new century. They will learn how to create an eco-friendly society and maintain the sustainable development of human beings.翻译练习（九）At present, China is striving to build a well-off society, so the demand for information technology and networking continues to grow. The Internet will usher in opportunities for further development, but willalso face new challenges. The Chinesegovernment will strive to make the majority of people enjoy the convenience brought by the growth of the Internet.翻译练习（十）Legend’srise to dominance mirrors China’s own transformation. Just as China now struggles with the transition from a developing county to a vital new force in global economic development, Legend is now growing and expanding. It has to face both the pressures and opportunities brought by success. It also has to prove that it can compete globally.翻译练习（十一）世界博览会是大型的、全球性的，非商业性质的博览会。
世博会的举办必须由某一国家申请，由世界博览会委员会批准。
