专八英译汉段落翻译完整版.中英文对照My First JobWhen I reached the age of twelve I left the school for ever and got my first fulltime job, as a grocer' s boy. I spent my days carrying heavy loads, but I enjoyed it. It was only my capacity for hard work that saved me from early dismissal, for I could never stomach speaking to my “betters” with the deference my employer thought I should assume.But the limit was reached one Tuesday 一 my half holiday. On my way home on that day I used to carry a large basket of provisions to the home of my employers sister-in-law. As her house was on my way homeI never objected to this.On this particular Tuesday, however, just as we were putting the shutters up, a load of smoked hams was delivered at the shop. "Wait a minute, “ said the boss, and he opened the load and took out a ham, whichhe started to bone and string up.I waited in growing impatience to get on my way, not for one minute but for a quite a considerable time. It was nearly half-past two when the boss finished. He then came to me with the ham, put it in the basket beside me, and instructed me to deliver it to a customer who had it on order.This meant going a long way out of my road home, so I looked up andsaid to the boss： "Do you know I finish at two on Tuesday?I have never seen a man look more astonished than he did then. u What do you mean?n he gasped. I told him I meant that I would deliver the groceries as usual, but not the ham.He looked at me as if I were some unusual kind f insect and burst into a storm of abuse. But I stood firm. He gave me up as hopeless and tried new tactics. "Go out and get another boy, “ he yelled at a shop assistant.u Are you going to deliver them or not?” the boss turned to me and asked in a threatening tone. I repeated what I had said before. "Then, out of here, “ he shouted. So I got out.This was the first time I had serious trouble with an employer.1我的第一份工作当我十二岁时我永远地离开了学校，同时得到了我的第一份全职工作，作为一个食品杂货商的见孩。

●汉译英暮色中，河湾里落满云霞，与天际的颜色混合在一起，分不清哪是流云哪是水湾。
也就在这一幅绚烂的图画旁边，在河湾之畔，一群羊正在低头觅食。
他们几乎没有一个顾得上抬起头来，看一眼这美丽的黄昏。
也许它们要抓紧时间，在即将回家的最后一刻再次咀嚼。
这是黄河滩上的一幕。
牧羊人不见了，他不知在何处歇息。
只有这些生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。
这儿水草肥美，让它们长得肥滚滚的。
如果走近了，你会发现它们洁白的牙齿，以及那丰富而单纯的表情。
●汉译英参考译文At dusk the whole river bend was colored with rosy evening clouds, meeting the glowing horizon in the distance so as to blur the borderline [and thus allowing for nobody to make a distinction] between the drifting clouds and the flowing water.Beside this picture with profusions of colors, a group of sheep were lowering their heads, eating by the river bank. Hardly any of them would spare some time to raise their eyes to have a glance at the beautiful dusk. They were, perhaps, taking use of every minute to enjoy their last chew before being driven home. This is a picture of the Y ellow River bank, in which the shepherd disappeared, and no one knows where he was resting himself. Only the sheep, however, as free creatures, were joyfully enjoying the dusk. The exuberant water plants had nourished the sheep, making them grow as fat as butter. When approaching nearer, you will see their pearl-white teeth and a variety of innocent facial expressions.●英译汉Scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constitutions of matter, and the miracle of life.At the same time, today, the actions, and inactions, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet.Globalization is making the world smaller, faster, and richer. Still, 9/11 and avian flu remind us that a smaller, faster world is not necessarily a safer world.Our world is bursting with knowledge – but desperately in need of wisdom. Now when sound bites are getting shorter, when instant messages crowd out essays, and when individual lives grow more crazy, college graduates capable of deep reflection are what our world needs.For all these reasons I believed – and I believe even more strongly today – in the unique and irreplaceable mission of universities.●英译汉参考译文:科技进步正在使我们能够探索宇宙的边陲、物质最基本的成分及生命的奇迹。

1.英译汉I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May；that it was Easter Sunday，and as yet very early in the morning.I was standing，as it seemed to me，at the door of my own cottage.Right before me lay the very scene which could really be commanded from that situation，but exalted，as was usual，and solemnized by the power of dreams.There were the same mountains，and the same lovely valley at their feet；but the mountains were raised to more than Alpine height，and there was interspaced far larger between them of savannahs and forest lawns；the hedges were rich with white roses；and no living creature was to be seen，excepting that in the green churchyard there were cattle tranquilly reposing upon the verdant graves，and particularly round about the grave of a child whom I had once tenderly loved，just as I had really seen them，a little before sunrise，in the same summer when that child died.我想那是五月的一个周日的早晨；那天是复活节，一个大清早上。

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》。

2023年专八写作范文带翻译2023年专八写作范文带翻译专八写作及翻译篇1Should College Education Be Vocation-Oriented?Due to the increased enrollment of college studentsin recent years, the total number of graduatesing out at the same time is such that manycollege graduates have difficulties in procuring jobs,especially when the economy is suffering slowdown.And then many scholars suggest that collegesshould lay emphasis onvocational training bysetting relative courses in the college curriculum so that graduates are more likely to beemployed. Taking the employers’ requirement into consideration, that is, working experience,the suggestion seems reasonable. However, I think, even if universities bee vocation-oriented, it can not serve well for the employment. Besides, the vocational orientation will doharm to the higher education.Firstly, the suggestion seems to be based on the fact that new college graduates may havelearned mountains of theories but lack practical abilities. In accord with this suggestion, ifcollege students have received enough vocational training and gained experience in internship,they are likely to get employed. Admittedly, self-improvement is crucial for new graduates tohunt jobs. But the suggestion does not take into account job vacancies in the present. ThoughChina’s economy keeps growing at a rate of about 9% in the recent and the number of jobsdoes increase, too many graduates ing out at a time will create great pressure for the jobmarket. As anofficial stated, “the grand college enrollment planis one of the main reasons forthe current unemployment issue”. Therefore,even if college students have enough experienceand skills, will they succeed in procuring jobs when there are no positions available at all?Secondly, vocational orientation is to the detriment of the higher learning in the long term.Letus beginwith the difference in goals betweenuniversity and vocational training. As collegestudents may decide tofinish his studies after graduation or may continue at a higherlevel,university courses should thus provide both basic knowledge and a sound basis for furtherstudies. In vocational training, the goals of a given course are distinct, that is, the course isdesigned to teach trainees basic knowledge and skills. In consequence, if universities arevocation-oriented, students at college can not get prepared in class for a higher level oflearning. Predictably, the pyramid of higher learning will crumble if universities can notproduceenough qualified students.In conclusion, vocation-orientation may help improve gradu ates’ skills but it can not increasethe numberof available positions.The suggestion justoffers a wrong remedy, and will do harmto the higher learning.最近几年，随着大学生人数的增多，同时，大学毕业生的人数也在增加，许多应届毕业生很难找到工作，特别是在经济开展缓慢时期尤为如此。

丑石贾平凹我常常遗憾我家门前的那块丑石呢：它黑黝黝地卧在那里，牛似的模样；谁也不知道是什么时候留在这里的.谁也不去理会它。
只是麦收时节，门前摊了麦子，奶奶总是要说：这块丑石，多碍地面哟，多时把它搬走吧。
于是，伯父家盖房，想以它垒山墙，但苦于它极不规则，没棱角儿，也没平面儿；用赘破开吧，又懒得花那么大气力，因为河滩并不甚远.随便去掬一块回来，哪一块也比它强。
房盖起来，压铺台阶，伯父也没有看上它。
有一年，来了一个石匠，为我家洗一台石磨，奶奶又说：用这块五石吧，省得从远处搬动。
石匠看了看，摇着头，嫌它石质太细，也不采用。
它不像汉白玉那样的细腻，可以凿下刻字雕花，也不像大青石那样的光滑，可以供来院纱捶布;它静静地卧在那里，院边的槐荫没有庇孤它，花儿也不再在它身边生长。
荒草便繁衍出来，枝蔓上下，慢慢地，竟锈上了绿苔、黑斑。
我们这些做孩子的，也讨庆起它来，曾合伙要搬走它，但力气又不足；虽时时咒骂它，嫌弃它，也无可奈何，只好任它留在那里去了。
稍稍能安慰我们的，是在那石上有一个不大不小的坑凹儿，雨天就盛满了水。
常常雨过三天了.地上已经于燥，那石凹里水儿还有，鸡儿便去那里渴饮。
每每到了十五的夜晚，我们盼着满月出来，就爬到其上，翘望天边；奶奶总是要骂的，害怕我们摔下来。
果然那一次就摔了下来，磕破了我的膝盖呢。
人都骂它是丑石，它真是丑得不能再丑的丑石了。
终有一日，村子里来了一个天文学家。
他在我家门前路过，突然发现了这块石头，眼光立即就拉直了。
他再没有走去，就住了下来；以后又来了好些人，说这是一块陨石，从天上落下来己经有二三百年了，是一件了不起的东西。
不久便来了车，小心翼翼地将它运走了。
这使我们都很惊奇!这又怪又丑的石头，原来是天上的呢！它补过天，在天上发过热，闪过光，我们的先祖或许仰望过它，它给了他们光明、向往、憧憬:而它落下来了，在污土里，荒草里，一躺就是几百年了?!奶奶说: “真看不出:它那么不一般，却怎么连墙也垒不成，台阶也垒不成呢?”“它是太丑了。

Chinese to English来美国求学校的中国学生与其它亚裔学生一样，大多非常刻苦勤奋。
周末往往会抽出一天甚至两天的时间去实验室加班，因此比起美国学生来，成果出的较多。
我的导师是亚裔人，嗜烟好酒，脾气暴躁。
但他十分欣赏亚裔学生勤奋与扎实的基础知识，也特别了解亚裔学生的心理。
因此，在他实验室所招的学生中，除一名来自德国外，其余五位均是亚裔学生。
他干脆在实验室的门上贴一醒目招牌：“本室助研必须每周工作7天，早10时至晚12时，工作时间必须全力以赴。
”这位导师的严格及苛刻是全校有名的，在我所呆的三年半中，共有14名学生被招进他的实验室，最后博士毕业的只剩下五人。
My supervisor is an Asian, a bad tempered heavy smoker and drinker. Yet he thinks highly of Asian students’diligence and sound (foundation) knowledge (good mastery of the basic knowledge) and he knows (understands well) their psychology. Therefore, among all the RAs he hired in the lab are all (from Asian countries) Asian students, except one from Germany. He simply pasted a noticeable signboard:" All RAs working in this lab must work from 10am to 12pm, 7 days a week. You’ve got to spare no efforts in the lab.” He is well known for his strictness and harshness. I worked for him for 3 years and a half and during that period of time there were only 5 out 14 who finally succeeded in obtaining their doctorate degree.English to ChineseOpera is expensive: that much is inevitable. But expensive things are not inevitably the province of the rich unless we abdicate society’s power of choice. We can choose to make opera and other expensive forms of culture, accessible to those who cannot individually pay for it. The question is: why should we? Nobody denies the imperatives of food, shelter, defense, health and education. But even in a prehistoric cave, mankind stretched out a hand not just to eat, drink or fight, but also to draw. The impulsive towards culture, the desire to express and explore the world through imagination and representation, is fundamental. In Europe, this desire has found fulfillment in the masterpieces of our music, art, literature and theatre. These masterpieces are the touchstones for all our efforts; they are the touchstones for the possibilities to which human thought and imagination may aspire; they carry the most profound messages that can be sent from one human to another.欣赏歌剧是一种奢侈的享受；你必须支付昂贵的票价。

Exercise 1：
Last week’s announcement was premature by most people’s measurement—Jordan is 30 and at the height of his playing and earning power—but it was not, by his own account, taken hastily, or rashly. “This is, ” he said, with a rare stumble, “the perfect timing for me to walk away.”
After three championships with the Chicago Bulls, a second gold medal with the US team at the 1992 Olympics, Jordan felt his motivation slipping away. “I’m at the pinnacle,”he told a thronged press conference. “I just feel I don’t have anything else to prove.”
But this explanation may appear too simple to satisfy the skeptics, who have recently discovered that Jordan does not lead an untroubled private life. First came the allegation that he gambled—in a country where gambling is mostly illegal—and that his gambling was out of control. Then his father was shot dead on July 23.
Exercise:2：
１．Opera is expensive: that much is inevitable. But expensive things are not inevitably the province of the rich unless we abdicate society’s power of choice. We can choose to make opera, and other expensive forms of culture, accessible to those who cannot individually pay for it. The question is: why should we? Nobody denies the imperatives of food, shelter, defense, health and education. But even in a prehistoric cave, mankind
stretched out a hand not just to eat, drink or fight, but also to draw. The impulse towards culture, the desire to express and explore the world through imagination and representation is fundamental. In Europe, this desire has found fulfillment in the masterpieces of our music, art, literature and theatre. These masterpieces are the touchstones for the possibilities to which human thought and imagination may aspire;they carry the most profound message that can be sent from one human to another.
欣赏歌剧是一种奢侈的享受，你必须为此支付昂贵的票价。
然而只要我们不放弃社会的选择权，昂贵的东西就不一定只有富人才能享受。
如果愿意，我们完全可以使歌剧或其他昂贵的文化形式面向那些个人没有支付能力的普通大众。
但问题是我们为什么要这么做？没有人会否认人类需要吃、住、防卫、健康以及接受教育。
但是，即使是在史前时期的洞穴里，人们伸出手来不仅是为了吃饭、喝水或打仗，也可能是要去画画。
对文化的向往，以及通过表演来表达、探索世界是人类的基本愿望。
在欧洲，这种愿望在我们的音乐、艺术和文学杰作和戏剧作品中得到了体现。
这些杰作是试金石，通过它们可以看出人类的思想和想象力可能达到的程度。
它们所包含的最为深刻的思想可以广为传播。
