古代文化6-10单元翻译练习Unit 61. 不论什么时候在任何国家,婚礼都被认为是一个人一生中最重要的仪式。

虽然中国的婚俗在不断地变化与发展,但是婚礼中创造的庄重、热情、欢乐和吉祥的气氛却一直未变。

因为中国拥有56个民族,因此婚俗也成为民族文化中一个重要的组成部分。

随着社会的进步和人们思想的改变,在中国自由恋爱日渐流行。

因此目前的婚礼习俗已不如传统的那样复杂。

【译文】At all times and in all countries, the wedding ceremony is considered to be the greatest ritual of anyone’s entire life. Although Chinese marriage customs are changing and developing all the time, the atmosphere created during the wedding is unchanged — being ceremonious/solemn, enthusiastic, joyful and auspicious(吉祥的). Because China consists of 56 ethnic groups, Chinese marriage customs are an important part of the country's folk/national culture. However, along with the progress of society and the transformation of people's mind, free love has become increasingly popular in China, so current Chinese marriage customs are not as complicated as the traditional ones.2. 中国龙是吉祥的(auspicious)生灵,象征着力量、智慧、好运和掌控风和水的威力。

这就是围棋的魅力所在。

下一盘围棋的时间短至15分钟,长至数天。

但是多数情况下,下一盘围棋需要一或两个小时。

1徐霞客一生周游考察了十六个省,足迹几乎遍及全国。

他在考察的过程中,从来不盲目迷信书本上的结论。

他发现前人研究地理的记载有许多很不可靠的地方。

为了进行真实细致的考察,他很少乘车坐船,几乎全靠双脚翻山越岭,长途跋涉;为了弄清大自然的真相,他总是挑选道路艰险的山区,人迹稀少的森林进行考察,发现了许多奇山秀景;他常常选择不同的时间和季节,多次重游各地名山,反复观察变换的奇景。

Xu Xiake toured and investigated 16 provinces in his lifetime, covering almost the whole of China/ the whole country. When he was carrying out his investigations, he never took blind belief in the conclusions in the books. Instead he found a lot of unreliable points in the geographic records taken by his predecessors. In order to make his investigations reliable and thorough, he seldom traveled by carriage or boat. Instead, he took long, arduous trips on foot almost all the time, climbing mountains and hills. In order to learn about the truth of nature, he always chose to conduct investigations in mountainous areas with dangerous roads and in lonely / untraveled woods, where he discovered a lot of magnificent peaks and beautiful sights.2多少年来,我养成了一个习惯:每天早晨四点在黎明以前起床工作。

“中华民族”这个名称被用来统称整体中国民众。

Today there are 56 distinct recognized ethnic groups in China。

In terms of numbers however, the pre—eminent ethnic group is the Han Chinese。

Throughout history, many groups have been assimilated into neighboring ethnicities or disappeared without a trace. At the same time, many within the Han identity have maintained distinct linguistic and regional cultural traditions。
