英語四級短文翻譯綜合

..1.中秋習(xí)俗在中國月餅是一種特殊的食品,廣受海內(nèi)外華人的歡迎。中秋吃月餅就好比圣誕節(jié)吃餡餅<mincepies>。為了慶祝中秋節(jié),中國人通常做兩件事：一是觀賞滿月。二是品嘗美味的月餅。中秋節(jié)是每年農(nóng)歷八月十五日。據(jù)說,這一天的月亮是一年中最圓的。而月亮正是慶賀中秋的全部主題。在中國人眼中,月餅象征著全家人的大團(tuán)圓。參考譯文：MooncakesareaspecialkindoffoodinChina.TheyareverypopularwiththeChineseathomeandabroad.MooncakesaretoMid-AutumnFestivalwhatmincepiesaretoChristmas.TocelebrateMid-AutumnFestival,Chineseusuallydotwothings:enjoythefullmoonandeatdeliciousmooncakes.Mid-AutumnFestivalfallsonthe15thdayofthe8thmonthofthelunarcalendar.Itisthetimewhenthemoonissaidtobeatitsbrightestandfullest.Andthemooniswhatthiscelebrationisallabout.IntheeyesoftheChinesepeople,amooncakesymbolizesthereunionofallfamilymembers.講解：第二句中的"……就好比"可以用"……slike…",但譯文中所用句型更好地表達(dá)這個(gè)含義。如："智力之于大腦,猶如視力之于軀體。"Intellectistothemindwhatsightistothebody."2.傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)皮影戲又稱"影子戲"。它是中國著名民間戲劇形式之一。表演時(shí)藝人通常一邊演唱一邊操縱用獸皮或紙板制作的人物形象。它們的影子通過燈光出現(xiàn)在簾布上。這營造了有人物在活動的幻象。有時(shí)表演者需要控制三到四個(gè)偶人。皮影戲在我國歷史悠久,元代時(shí)還曾傳到世界上很多國家,迷倒了不少國外戲迷,被人們親切地稱為"中國影燈"。參考譯文Theshadowpuppetplay,alsoknownas‘shadowplay’,isoneofChina’sfamousfolkoperaforms.Duringtheperformance,playersusuallysingwhileholing/manipulatinghumanfigures,whicharemadeofanimalskinandpaperboard.Theshadowsofthosehumanfiguresarereflectedonacurtainthroughthelight.Thiscreatestheillusionofmovingimages.Sometimestheperformerneedstocontrolthreeorfourpuppets.ShadowpuppetplayenjoysalonghistoryinChina.ItwasintroducedtomanycountriesduringtheYuanDynastyandattractedmanyforeignaudience.TheycalltheartformChineseshadowplay.3.社交饑渴手機(jī),是一項(xiàng)偉大的發(fā)明。但很顯然,手機(jī)也刷新了人與人的關(guān)系。會議室門口通常貼著一條公告：請與會者關(guān)閉手機(jī)?？墒?會議室里手機(jī)鈴聲仍然響成一片。我們都是普通人,并沒有多少特別重要的事情。盡管如此,我們也不會輕易關(guān)掉手機(jī)。打開手機(jī)象征著我們與這個(gè)世界的聯(lián)系。顯然,手機(jī)反映出我們的"社交饑渴癥"。<thirstforsocialization>

參考譯文Thecellphoneisagreatinvention.Butobviously,Ithasalteredtherelationshipamongpeople.Thereisusuallyanoticeonthedoorofthemeetingroom,whichreads,"Pleaseturnoffyourhand-set."However,phonesringnowandthenwhenthemeetinggoeson.Wearebutordinarypeopleandhavefewurgenciestotacklewith.Nevertheless,wewillnotswitchoffourphoneseasily.Phones-onsymbolizesourconnectingwiththisworld.Obviously,cellphonehasbeenreflectingour"thirstforsocialization".

4.北京介紹北京是座有三千年歷史的古城。早在公元前十一世紀(jì),北京就是燕國的國都,因此北京有燕京之稱。在以后的幾千年里,北京又成為金、元、明、清各朝的國都。北京是中國的六大古都之一,其他五個(gè)是XX、XX、XX、XX和XX。北京是座既古老又年輕的城市,有許多名勝古跡。從故宮、天壇到頤和園,你們可以看到北京保留了許多昔日的風(fēng)采。參考譯文Beijingisanancientcitywithahistoryof3,000years.Asearlyasthe11thcentury,B.C.,itwasthecapitaloftheKingdomofYan;that'swhyBeijingisalsoknownasYanjing.Inthefewthousandyearsafterwards,BeijingagainservedasthecapitalfortheJinYuan,Ming,andQingdynasties.BeijingisoneofChina'ssixancientcapitals;theotherfiveareXi’an,Nanjing,Luoyang,Kaifeng,andHangzhou.Beijingisacitybotholdandyoung,withmanyplacesofhistoricalinterestandscenicbeauty.FromtheForbiddenCity,theTempleofHeaven,andtheSummerPalace,youcanseethatBeijing5.生活習(xí)慣多少年來,我養(yǎng)成了一個(gè)習(xí)慣：每天早晨四點(diǎn)在黎明以前起床工作。我不出去跑步或散步,而是一下床就干活兒。因此我對黎明前的北京的了解是在屋子里感覺到的。我從前在什么報(bào)上讀過一篇文章,講黎明時(shí)分天安門廣場上的清潔工人。那情景必然是非常動人的,可惜我從未能見到,只是心向往之而已。參考譯文Formanyyears,Ihavebeeninthehabitofgettingupbeforedaybreaktostartworkatfour.Insteadofgoingoutforajogorwalk,I’llsetaboutmyworkassoonasI’moutofbed.Asaresult,itisfrominsidemystudythatI'vegotthefeelofpredawnBeijing.Yearsago,IhituponanewspaperarticleaboutstreetcleanersinTian’anmenSquareatdaybreak.Itmusthavebeenaverymovingscene,butwhatapityIhaven’tseenitwithmyowneyes.Icanonlypictureitinmymindlongingly.6.保護(hù)動物目前,人類的生存環(huán)境正在遭到破壞,美麗的大自然已經(jīng)不那么美麗了。保護(hù)野生動物,也就是保護(hù)人類自己。我強(qiáng)烈呼吁：不要再捕殺黑猩猩,不要再捕殺野生動物了,讓我們?nèi)祟惗嘁恍┑厍蛏系呐笥?多給我們下一代保留一些野生動物吧!否則,地球?qū)缭谌祟愂种?人類將毀滅在自己手中。參考譯文Atpresent,man’slivingenvironmentisbeingruined,andbeautifulnatureisnolongersobeautiful.Protectionofwildlifeisprotectionofmanhimself.SoIappealstronglytoalltostopkillingthechimpanzeeoranyotherwildanimal.Letushumanbeingshavemorefriendsontheearth,andleavemorewildlifeforfuturegenerations.Ortheearthwouldbedestroyedbyman,andmanbymanhimself.7.學(xué)習(xí)英語到中國來旅游觀光的人很少不會注意到中國人學(xué)習(xí)英語的勁頭。公園里有專門的英語角,老老少少會定期聚在一起操練。馬路上外國游客常常被學(xué)習(xí)英語的人圍住交談,從天氣到政治,無所不談。各種英語班如雨后春筍在到處出現(xiàn)。參考譯文FewvisitorstoChinawillfailtonoticetheeagernessoftheChinesetolearnEnglish.2>InpublicparkstherearespecialcornerswhereEnglishlearnersoldandyounggatheratregulartimetopractisetheirspokenEnglish.3>ForeignvisitorsareoftenbesiegedonstreetsbyEnglishlearnerswhowanttotalkwiththeminEnglishabutanythingfromweathertopolitics.4>Englishclassesaremushroomingacrosstheland.8.發(fā)明創(chuàng)造過去50年其實(shí)并不是發(fā)明創(chuàng)新的黃金時(shí)期。從1900年到1950年,改變?nèi)祟惿畹陌l(fā)明有汽車、飛機(jī)、、收音機(jī)、電視機(jī)——當(dāng)然還有核武器和計(jì)算機(jī)。而近50年來,只有為數(shù)不多的發(fā)明。難道發(fā)明的源泉已經(jīng)枯竭了嗎？答案并非如此。事實(shí)上,發(fā)明的新時(shí)代剛剛開始。參考譯文Actuallythelastfiftyyearswasnotthegoldenageofinventionandinnovation.From1900to1950,humanlifewastransformedbysuchinventionascars,aeroplanes,telephones,radiosandtelevisionsets,nottomentionnuclearweaponsandthecomputerofcourse.Intherecent50yearssinceonlyafewinventionshavebeenmade,wasthewellspringofinventiondryingup?Notlikely.Indeed,anewageofinventionisjustbeginning.

9.電腦技術(shù)有些人擔(dān)心電腦技術(shù)的廣泛使用會進(jìn)一步惡化就業(yè)形勢。但另一種觀點(diǎn)認(rèn)為盡管這對個(gè)人來說會丟掉飯碗,對整個(gè)社會來說由于提高了生產(chǎn)率,因而有利于經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展。不管對社會影響如何,有一點(diǎn)是肯定的：有技術(shù)的人變得越來越吃香,沒技術(shù)的人工作越來越難找。參考譯文Somepeopleareworryingthatthewideuseofcomputertechnologywillcausefurtherunemployment.Anotherargumenthoweverholdsthatalthoughsomeindividualswilllosetheirjobssocietyasawholewillbenefiteconomicallythroughincreasesinproductivity.Despiteitseffectsonsocietyonethingiscertain:thetechnicallytrainedwillbecomeevermorevaluablewhilethejobsfortheblue-collarpopulationwillbecomelessavailable.10.個(gè)人集體不管是在一個(gè)公司,還是在一個(gè)政府里,重大的決定總是個(gè)人作出的,而不是集體。我們需要集體的討論,因?yàn)榭梢越涣骺捶ê徒?jīng)驗(yàn)。但是集體討論不能代替?zhèn)€人的作用。理由很清楚,如要作出一個(gè)重大的決定,集體總是不能對迅速變化的事件作出同樣迅速的反應(yīng)。參考譯文Animportantdecisionisalwaysmadebyindividualsnotbycommitteeswhetheritinvolvesacompanyoragovernment.Weneedcommitteesbecausethat’swherepeoplecouldsharetheiropinionsandexperiences.Buttheycouldnotreplaceindividuals.Thereasonisobvious:acommitteefacedwithamajordecisioncan’talwaysmoveasquicklyastheeventsitistryingtorespondto.11.學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會上大學(xué)給人們提供了在無邊無際的知識海洋里遨游探索的機(jī)會。為了豐富多彩的人生,大學(xué)生應(yīng)該充分利用目前讀大學(xué)的大好時(shí)光。他們應(yīng)該意識到上大學(xué)決不僅僅意味著得到一個(gè)學(xué)位,得到一個(gè)好的工作。他們?nèi)绻粷M足于專業(yè)課內(nèi)容,就會終生受益。參考譯文Collegeprovidesachancetoexplorethevastareasofunlimitedknowledge.Tohavearichfulllifeacollegestudentshouldmakethemostoftheopportunitiesathand.Heshouldrealizethatgoingtocollegemeansalotmorethanearningadegreeandsecuringagoodjob.Ifhecanexplorebeyondhisimmediatecareerobjectiveshewillenjoytherestofhislife.12.文化交流文化是不同國家的人們互相理解的最佳媒體。通過舉辦文化節(jié),許多中國城市在世界上的知名度提高了。已經(jīng)證明,對促進(jìn)中國人民和世界其他地方人民之間的交流來說,這是最好的途徑之一。這種交流不僅僅限于文化方面,還擴(kuò)大到了經(jīng)濟(jì)和其他領(lǐng)域。參考譯文Cultureisthebestmediumforpeopleofdifferentcountriestounderstandeachother.Throughculturefestivals,manycitiesinChinahaveraisedtheirprestigeintheworld.Ashasbeenproventhat,thisisoneofthebestwaystopromotethecommunicationbetweenChinesepeopleandthepeoplefromdifferentpartsoftheworld.Thiskindofcommunicationisnotonlyconfinedtoculture,butextendstoeconomyandotherfields.13.大四生活現(xiàn)在大學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)壓力相當(dāng)重。除了大四,他們開始找工作了,其余的學(xué)生總是忙于學(xué)習(xí),而不愿參加校園團(tuán)體和俱樂部,不愿參加體育鍛煉和其他課外活動,不愿與他們的朋友玩玩,不愿關(guān)心和學(xué)習(xí)沒有關(guān)系的事?？傊?他們就像一個(gè)機(jī)器人。壓力大,時(shí)間少,功課多?？吹酵瑢嬍依锏娜硕忌蠄D書館去學(xué)習(xí),到深夜閉館才回,而自己卻去看電影,他們就會有一種內(nèi)疚感。一想到白天什么事都沒干,心里就感到不安,會整夜因此睡不著覺。他們學(xué)習(xí)太緊張,幾乎沒有時(shí)間好好品嘗生活,干些其他事,成為一個(gè)全面發(fā)展的人。讀大學(xué)使他們失去太多的個(gè)人幸福和健康。參考譯文Collegestudentsnowbearheavyacademicpressure.Youwillfindthem—exceptseniorswhoarebeginningtolookforajob—alwaystoobusyinstudiestojoincampusorganizations,toobusytotakepartinsportsandotherextracurricularactivities,toobusytosharetheinterestsoftheirfriendsandtoobusytopayattentiontoanythingthatisnotconnectedwiththeirstudies.Inshorttheyhavebecomenothingbutarobot.Theyareunderpressuretodotoomuchworkintoolittletime.Iftheirroommatesarestudyinginthelibraryuntilitclosesatmidnightwhiletheygotoamovietheywillfeelguilty.Theveryideaofdoingnothingduringthedaywillmakethemuncomfortableandsleeplessallnight.Theystudysohardthattheyhavehardlyhadtimetosavorlifeandtopursueotherintereststogrowaswell-roundedpeople.Thepursuitofcollegeeducationcoststhemtoomuchpersonalhappinessandhealth.14.人物介紹徐霞客一生周游考察了十六個(gè)省,足跡幾乎遍及全國。他在考察的過程中,從不盲目迷信書本上的結(jié)論,從不把權(quán)威看作是真理的唯一基礎(chǔ)。他發(fā)現(xiàn)人研究的地理記載中有許多不很可靠的地方。為了進(jìn)行真實(shí)細(xì)致的考察,他很少乘車坐船,幾乎全靠雙腳翻山越嶺,長途跋涉；為了弄清大自然的真相,他總是挑選道路艱險(xiǎn)的山區(qū)、人跡稀少的森林進(jìn)行考察,發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多奇山秀景；他常常選擇不同的時(shí)間和季節(jié),多次重游各地名山,反復(fù)觀察變換的奇景。他不僅善于觀察,觀察的精確、耐心、客觀、而且對觀察的結(jié)果鍥而不舍地進(jìn)行思考。參考譯文DuringhislifetimeXuXiakevisited16provincesleavinghisfootprintsnearlyeverywhereacrosstheland.Heneverblindlyacceptedtheconclusionsgivenbybooksnordidhetreatauthorityasthesolebasisfortruth.Asaresulthefoundmanyinaccuraciesinthetravelnotesongeographywrittenbyhispredecessors.Inordertogetadetailedandtruthfulpictureoftheparticularplaceshepreferredtotravelonfootinsteadofbycartorboatdespitelongdistancesandevenventuredintomountainousareasandjungleswhicharerarelytraveledbypeopleandfullofdangers.Thepayoffforhiseffortwashisdiscoveryofmanyfantasticlandscapeswhichattractedhimtoreturnindifferentseasonsandevendifferenthoursofthedaytoobservetheirkaleidoscopicspectacles.Hewasnotonlyagoodobserveraccuratepatientandobjectivebutalsoappliedpersistentthoughttotheobservationshemade.15.節(jié)日聯(lián)歡在這明月當(dāng)空的中秋之夜,我很高興能應(yīng)邀出席貴公司的慶祝晚宴,同各位一起度過一個(gè)輕松、難忘的夜晚。我們平時(shí)忙于各自的工作,幾乎沒有時(shí)間坐下來交談。我希望這次晚會可以讓我們無所拘束地相互溝通,增進(jìn)友誼。在這個(gè)高度競爭的時(shí)代,人際關(guān)系越來越緊張,似乎缺少了傳統(tǒng)意義上的那種人間溫暖的關(guān)懷。我國的中秋節(jié)不僅給人們提供了團(tuán)聚的機(jī)會,其意義還包含了關(guān)懷、融洽和奉獻(xiàn)。我為有幸參加這次中秋聚會,再次表示感謝。參考譯文Onthismostbeautifulmoon-litmid-autumnevening,I'mverygladtobeinvitedtoattendyourcompany'scelebrationeveningparty,andsharearelaxingandmemorableeveningwithyou.Wearesobusilyengagedinourworkthatwehavevirtuallylittletimesittingdownandtalkingtoeachother.Ihopethispartywillgiveanopportunitytotalktoeachotherfreely,andtoincrease/enhanceperson
