学士学位英语考试英汉翻译练习题

The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sports in the world. 1) Every four years, a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport. As many as 6,000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honor, too, for all who compete, win or lose. That is in spirit of the Olympics--- to take part is what matters.

The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first . For it was in Greece that the Olympics began. 2) The team of the country where the Games are being held---the host country ----marches in last. The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame.3) A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.

The competitors begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field , but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a different sport ---riding, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running. Points are

gained for each event. 4) Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams. 5) More and more women are taking part in the games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics. Women’s swimming events were introduced in 1912. But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as the men.

2009年中国十大网络流行语英文版这是一个充满无限可能的时代，也是一个网络推动的时代。岁末将至，盘点2009年中出现的每一句网络流行语，无一不与我们的生活息息相关；细读每一个网络流行语诙谐和无厘头的背后，无一不是对现实问题的最理性的思考。值此之际，特别推出2009年度十大网络流行语的英文版，让我们一起来对刚刚走远的集体记忆温故知新。 1. 不差钱 Money is not a problem. 出处：2009年央视春晚，赵本山、小沈阳等演出了小品《不差钱》。几乎一夜之间，二人转演员小沈阳连同小品中的多句经典台词，红遍大江南北。入选理由：赵本山的小品历年来都不乏经典台词，这次有了小沈阳的加盟，语录更是经典。春晚过后，老百姓去餐馆点菜，和餐馆服务员之间最常见的对白就是“这个真没有”，“这个可以有”“咱不差钱”。 2. 哥抽的不是烟，是寂寞！ What brother is smoking is not a cigarette, but loneliness! 出处：7月初，在百度贴吧里突然有人发了一张一名非主流男子吃面的图片，图片配文“哥吃的不是面，是寂寞”。之后一发不可收拾，有网友相继模仿“哥×的不是×，是寂寞”的句式，“哥上的不是网，是寂寞”、“哥爱的不是你，是寂寞”…… 入选理由：今年，“寂寞体”成为很多人的MSN、QQ签名，仿佛什么事情都可以化作“寂寞”两个字，它折射出现代人需要抚慰的心灵。寂寞是一种病，我们都在寻找治愈它的药片。 3. 贾君鹏你妈妈喊你回家吃饭！ Jia Junpeng, your mother wants you to go home to have some food. 出处：贾君鹏只是个网络虚拟人物，但是在2009年7月16日百度贴吧里的魔兽世界吧里，一个只有标题《贾君鹏，你妈妈喊你回家吃饭！》的空帖，短短几个小时就被390617名网友浏览，引来超过1.7万条回复，并在接下来的一天时间内吸引了710万点击和30万的回复。入选理由：相当长一段时间内，“×××，你妈妈喊你回家吃饭！”这种兼具家庭式温馨的调侃语录成了最流行的网络问候语，并影响了社会各界和媒体们对此语录的深度分析。 4. 人生就像茶几，上面摆满了杯具。 Life is like a tea table, with bitter cups placed all over it. 出处：首先是易中天因为在一期《百家讲坛》中瞪大眼睛感叹了一句“悲剧啊”，结果就被网友截了图并上传到了网上，随即成为无数网友争相引用的签名档。其实，这句流行语的句式模板来自张爱玲笔下的———“人生是一袭华美的袍，上面爬满了虱子。” “杯具”一词诞生后，网上出现了“杯具党”，网友们又创造了“餐具（惨剧）”、“洗具（喜剧）”和“茶具（差距）”。入选理由：在网友看来，“杯具”这个词比“悲剧”能表现内心的无奈，同时又多了一分自嘲的乐观态度，比之前单纯的悲观也多了一分希望。 5. 不要迷恋哥，哥只是个传说。 Don't be obsessed with brother. He is only a legend. 出处：这句话的起源是猫扑大杂烩，由网友“不要迷恋哥”的一个帖子引起的恶搞。

You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it th e exercise it needs through out its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it ru n freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where it is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to s how proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs ha ve not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months o ld, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets. 1. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage? A. You can always get help from the specialists. B. It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog. C. You should decide what kind of dog you want. D. Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too. 2. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog? A. The color of the dog. B. The price of the dog. C. Whether the dog will fit the environment. D. Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house. 3. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a car? A. It must be trained so that it won’t bite. B. It demands more food and space. C. It needs more love and care. D. It must be looked after carefully. 4. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?
