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(theTang 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。

2、端午节,又叫龙舟节,是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣(minister),他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤(vilify)而最终投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方,抛下粽子,希望鱼儿吃粽子,不要吃屈原的身躯。几千年来,端午节的特色在于吃粽子(glutinous dumplings)和赛龙舟,尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。

3. 剪纸(paper cutting)是中国最为流行的传统民间艺术形式之一。中国剪纸有一千五百多年的历史,在明朝和清朝时期(the Ming and Qing Dynasties)特别流行。人们常用剪纸美化居家环境。特别是在春节和婚庆期间,剪纸被用来装饰门窗和房间,以增加喜庆的气氛。剪纸最常用的颜色是红色,象征健康和兴旺。中国剪纸在世界各地很受欢迎,经常被用作馈赠外国友人的礼物。

5. 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”在中文里意味这爱情丶婚姻和团聚,中国结常常作为礼物交换或作用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。

5. “你要茶还是咖啡?”是用餐人常被问到的问题。许多西方人会选咖啡,而中国人则会选茶。相传,中国的一位帝王于五千年前发现了茶,并用来治病,在明清(The Qing Dynasties)期间,茶馆遍布全国,饮茶在六世纪传到日本,但直到18世纪才传到欧美。如今,茶是世界上最流行的饮料(beverage)之一,茶是中国的瑰宝,也是中国传统和文化的重要组成部分。

6. 在中国,喝茶是一种仪式,一种精致品味(refined taste)的展示。人们在饮茶的同时,也领略着(take delight in)品茶的情趣之意。喝茶聊天是中国人最流行的打发时间的方式。过去,他们是以进有名的茶馆(teahouse)而开始一天的生活的。中国的茶馆相当于法国的咖啡馆和英国的酒馆。人们到这里不仅是为了喝茶,也是为了议论当地的新闻或就政治话题进行激烈的争论。

7. 传统中国绘画是一门独特的艺术,无论是风格还是技巧都与世界其他艺术门类迥然不同。传统的日本绘画可能算是例外,但是不要忘了,它是深受中国文化影响的。中国人绘画采用毛笔蘸墨汁或颜料,灵巧地挥洒(wield)在纸上。画家用深、浅、浓、淡的点和线构成一幅图画。在优秀画家的手里,毛笔和墨汁不仅是绘画的工具,也是画家艺术追求的象征。

8. 唐朝(Tang Dynasty)被历史学家认为是中国文明最辉煌的时期。唐朝的首都在长安。在与印度和中东(the Middle East)的交流中,在他们的促进下,唐朝在许多领域里得到了长足的发展。唐朝是文学和艺术的黄金时期。唐朝通过科举制度(civil service examinations)在全国选出优秀的儒家文人(Confucian literati)为政府效力,而唐朝的政府体系在儒学官僚(Confucian bureaucratic)的支持下也日臻完善。公元8世纪中期,唐朝势力开始衰落。9. 面子是某个人在他人眼中的社会地位和名声。中国人一生都用语言和行动维护和提升面子。可以小到谁先上电梯,也可以大到百万美元的合同授予。没有面子也就没有了影响力。即使是无意中让别人没面子,也是极其严重的冒犯(dishonor),可能意味着断绝关系。中国人不会公开批评、忽视或取笑他人,即使是开玩笑。点评别人的成绩时,也是先说优点,再讲不足。

10. 二十四节气(solar terms)的划分起源于黄河流域一带(Yellow River area),是中国古代

历法(calendar)特有的重要组成部分和独特创造。在古代中国,人们常用二十四节气来表示季节更替和气候变化状况。节气的制定是我们祖先在长期的农业生产实践中,逐步认识气象变化规律的结果。长期以来,甚至直到今天,二十四节气在中国的农牧业生产(agricultural and animal husbandry production)中一直起着重要的作用。

11. 刺绣(Embroidery)是中国艺术的一颗璀璨明珠,在秦汉时期就已达到较高的水平。它是一门传统工艺,有各种样式,广泛分布于中国的各个地区。有些精致(elaborate)绣品需要花费几位熟练技工数月甚至数年才能完成。在服饰文化中,刺绣工艺占有重要地位。它不仅是中国传统艺术和手工艺的瑰宝,也是中华文化的重要组成部分。它代表了中国人民的智慧。

12. 京剧在中国有200多年的历史。它源于华东地区的徽剧及华中地区的汉剧,后又汲取了昆曲、河北梆子两种地方戏的精华。由于这一表演艺术在北京兴起并繁荣,因此而得名。京剧是中国最有影响力的戏曲,在社会各阶层中都有广大爱好者。晴天时,人们常常可以看到京剧票友(amateurs of Peking Opera performers)在街头(street corner)、公园或居民区周围练唱。观看京剧是到中国来的海外游客最喜爱的活动之一。

13. 中西方饮食习惯(eating habits)存在极大的差异。不同于西方人那种每人一盘事物的饮食习惯,在中国,菜肴是被放在桌上让大家共同分享的。如果你在中国主人家做客,就要做好有一大桌事物的心理准备。中国人对于自己的烹饪文化(culture of cuisine)感到非常自豪,而且会尽全力去展示自己的好客(hospitality)。而且有时候,中国主人会用他们的筷子把食物夹到你的碗里或盘子中。这是礼貌的体现。

14. 敦煌莫高窟(Dunhuang Mogao Caves)坐落于中国西北甘肃省的一个小县城。如今,石窟壁上闻名世界的壁画已经变得脆弱不堪(fragile)。哪里世界著名的壁画石窟的建造横跨公元4世纪至14世纪,历经十多个朝代。一代代的花匠用手中的画笔描绘出当时的日常生活与佛教文化,使石窟熠熠生辉。这些珍贵的艺术品正遭受来自气候干燥、自然恶化和旅游业的影响,出境堪忧。

15. 春节贴年画(pasting New Year Prints)的风俗源自于往房子外面的门上贴门神(Door Gods)的传统。随着木质雕刻品的出现,年画包含了更广泛的主题,最出名的就是门神,三大神—福神、薪神和寿神(Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity),寓意着庄稼丰收、家畜兴旺和庆祝春节。年画的四大产地分别是苏州桃花坞,天津杨柳青,河北武强和山东潍坊。现在中国农村仍然保持着贴年画的传统,而在城市里很少有人贴年画。

16. 在中国,小孩的满月酒(one-month-old feast)和抓周(one-year-old catch)仪式独具特色。小孩出生满一个月的那天,孩子的家人一般要招呼亲朋好友,邀请他们一起来庆祝孩子满月。小孩满周岁的那天,有抓周的仪式。按照中国的传统,父母及他人不给予孩子任何的引导或暗示,任孩子随意挑选,看他先抓什么,后抓什么,并以此为依据来预测孩子可能存在的志趣和将从事的职业及前途。

17. 农历正月十五是中国的元宵节,人们习惯在门外悬挂大红灯笼,孩子们提着彩色的灯笼玩,大人们则上街观赏各式各样的灯笼。据记载,灯笼早在约3000年前就出现在元宵节上。到了唐代,朝廷将灯笼与佛教联系起来,从此灯笼就成了元宵节官方礼仪的一部分。不同地区的彩灯风格迥异,陕北的农民用南瓜做灯笼,用棉花等材料做羊头形状。而北京因为是帝王之都,灯笼一般做成宫廷灯笼的样子。

18. 在大家庭里,老一辈人的意见受到尊重,小一辈人得到全家的呵护。中国宪法规定赡养父母是成年子女义不容辞的责任。在城市里,不和家人一起住的年轻夫妇给老人生活费并帮助他们干家务活。在农村,尽管大家庭解体了,许多结了婚的儿子和他的家人还和父母住同一个院子。对他们来说,分家不过是分灶而已。结了婚的儿子往往把房子盖在父母家附近,这样父母和子女互相帮助、探望都和过去一样方便。

19. 中国共有八大菜系(cuisines),包括辛辣的(pungency)川菜和清淡的(lightness)粤菜。中国餐馆在世界各地很受欢迎。然而,中国人的生活方式日益变化,无论是自己下厨还是上餐馆,都出现了全新的饮食习惯。在一些传统的中国菜中,添加了奶酪和番茄酱。城市消费者频繁地光顾一些快餐连锁店,比如麦当劳和肯德基。收入的不断增长,对国际食品的更多了解,加上超市购物的便捷,使中国出现了更乐于尝试包装及罐装食品(packaged and canned food)的新一代消费者。

20. 歌谣跟口头流传的神话,远在文字出现之前就已大量产生。中国的文学正是发端于此。不过歌谣本是人们生活中随兴而发的(improvised)东西,上古时代也没有保存和记载它们的手段,因之也就很快湮灭,不留痕迹。如今,我们只能从古籍书中推断它们的存在。古书中记载了一些据称年代非常久远的歌谣,但是大多出于后人的伪托(derivatives),能够断定年代的歌谣要到《诗经》里才能看见。从这点来看,古代神话对中国文学的影响更为重要。

Passage 1: 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。 China’s economy is developing very quickly, and has 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‖.

You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2. 中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如,我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。那一天,人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征着圆满,象征着家庭团聚。因此,中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year?s holiday),除了常见的家禽和肉类之外,人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物,如铰子和年糕。 参考答案 Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year?s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the new year cake. 难点精析 ■ 1.中国的传统节庆膳食:翻译为Traditional Chinese holiday meals,其中“节庆膳食”直接译为holiday meals , 即可,翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”的顺序。 2.纪念:翻译为介词短语in memory of,修饰前面的a day。 ■ 3.赛龙舟:翻译为hold dragon boat races,其中hold意为“举行”,“举行龙舟比赛”即“赛龙舟”。 4.观赏满月:“满月”即fMlmoon,此处的“观赏”可以译为viewing,也可以用enjoying或watching表示。 5.象征着家庭团聚:“象征”翻译为系表结构is a symbol for,也可以用动词symbolize表示,“家庭团聚”翻译:为family reunion 即可。 Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)(原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英。翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等。四级长度为140-160个汉字。)

川剧(Sichuan Opera)//就像四川火锅以及其他的名菜一样//动人、丰富。变脸(Face Changing)是川剧中的一大亮点。据说//古人在他们的脸上作画,//以便赶走野生动物。川剧吸收了这一古老的技艺//并将其升华为一门艺术。变脸是一门神奇的艺术。演员在不到20秒的时间内要换十多次脸谱。通过举手、摆袖或摇头,演员使用不同的脸谱//来表现不同的情绪,//并通过看得见摸得着的脸谱表达出看不见摸不着的感情。 Sichuan Opera (Chuan Ju), //like hot-pot and other famous Sichuan dishes, //is exciting and rich. Face Changing is the highlight of Sichuan Opera. It is said//that ancient people painted their faces// to drive away wild animals. Sichuan Opera absorbs this ancient skill //and perfects it into an art. Face Changing is a magical art. Actors change more than 10 masks in less than 20 seconds. By raising the hand, swinging a sleeve or tossing the head, an actor uses different masks// to show different emotions, //expressing invisible and intangible feelings through visible and tangible masks. 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和纺丝技术的发展。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。丝线和丝织品的生产促进了刺绣艺术的诞生。时至今日,丝绣几乎已经传遍整个中国。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,各省绣品各具特色。 Embroidery,a folk art with a long tradition, occupies an important position in the history of Chinese arts and crafts. It is, in its long development, inseparable from silkworm-raising and silk-reeling and weaving. China is the first country in the world that discovered the use of silk. Silkworms were domesticated as early as 5000 years ago. The production of silk thread 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 from four provinces: Jiangsu (notably Suzhou), Hunan, Sichuan and Guangdong, each with its distinctive features. 无论中国人走到哪里,都不会改掉喝茶的习惯。茶最先由中国人发现,它是中国人生活中不可或缺的组成部分。有一句中国谚语将基本的日常必需品(basic daily necessitates)称为柴,米,油,盐,酱,醋,茶。一千多年以来,饮茶的习俗已经在中国人心中根深蒂固(ingrained)。唐朝时,一个叫陆羽的人写了世界上第一部关于茶的著作 -- 《茶经》(Book of Tea),这部书有助于在中国推广饮茶艺术。 Wherever the Chinese go, the custom of drinking tea follows.

翻译部分 新大纲样题 题目: 剪纸(paper cutting)是中国最为流行的传统民间艺术形式之一。中国剪纸有一千五百多年的历史,在明朝和清朝时期(the Ming and Qing Dynasties)特别流行。人们常用剪纸美化居家环境。特别是在春节和婚庆期间,剪纸被用来装饰门窗和房间,以增加喜庆的气氛。剪纸最常用的颜色是红色,象征健康和兴旺。中国剪纸在世界各地很受欢迎,经常被用作馈赠外国友人的礼物。 1. 中秋习俗 在中国月饼是一种特殊的食品,广受海内外华人的欢迎。中秋吃月饼就好比圣诞节吃馅饼(mince pies)。为了庆祝中秋节,中国人通常做两件事:一是观赏满月。二是品尝美味的月饼。中秋节是每年农历八月十五日。据说,这一天的月亮是一年中最圆的。而月亮正是庆贺中秋的全部主题。在中国人眼中,月饼象征着全家人的大团圆。 2.传统艺术 皮影戏又称“影子戏”。它是中国著名民间戏剧形式之一。表演时艺人通常一边演唱一边操纵用兽皮或纸板制作的人物形象。它们的影子通过灯光出现在帘布上。这营造了有人物在活动的幻象。有时表演者需要控制三到四个偶人。皮影戏在我国历史悠久,元代时还曾传到世界上很多国家,迷倒了不少国外戏迷,被人们亲切地称为“中国影灯”。 3.社交饥渴 手机,是一项伟大的发明。但很显然,手机也刷新了人与人的关系。会议室门口通常贴着一条公告:请与会者关闭手机。可是,会议室里手机铃声仍然响成一片。我们都是普通人,并没有多少特别重要的事情。尽管如此,我们也不会轻易关掉手机。打开手机象征着我们与这个世界的联系。显然,手机反映出我们的“社交饥渴症”。(thirst for socialization) 4.北京介绍 北京是座有三千年历史的古城。早在公元前十一世纪,北京就是燕国的国都,因此北京有燕京之称。在以后的几千年里,北京又成为金、元、明、清各朝的国都。北京是中国的六大古都之一,其他五个是西安、南京、洛阳、开封和杭州。北京是座既古老又年轻的城市,有许多名胜古迹。从故宫、天坛到颐和园,你们可以看到北京保留了许多昔日的风采。

大学英语四级改革新题型段落翻译题 练习1 中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如,我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。那一天,人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征着圆满,象征着家庭团聚。因此,中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday),除了常见的家禽和肉类之外,人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物,如铰子和年糕。 参考答案 Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the “1 ”new year cake . 难点精析 ■1.中国的传统节庆膳食:翻译为Traditional Chinese holiday meals,其中“节庆膳食”直接译为holiday meals , 即可,翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”的顺序。 2.纪念:翻译为介词短语in memory of,修饰前面的a day。
