我上大学的最初几天是难以忘怀的。当父亲驾车离开，将我独自留在校园里的时候，我不知道该做什么了。不管我如何极力拿出一副成熟的样子，我就是摆脱不了一个一年级新生的感觉。我花了好几个小时，搞清了我的寝室和我要上课的各个教室。第二天早上，我坐在教室的前排，打开《美国文学选集》，用一种热情的态度准备上课。但是，当老师说“欢迎来听生物课”时，我意识到自己坐错了教室。我用铁一样的意志，摆出了一副生物专业学生的姿态，一直坚持到讲座结束。下课以后，我感到我的胃需要加一点营养了，于是我匆匆赶往自助餐厅。但不幸的是，当我端着食物托盘朝一张桌子走去时，脚一滑，托盘翻倒，我失去了平衡，直直地倒在地上。好几天，我一直被一种耻辱感所困扰。过后，我渐渐地意识到自己把这种微不足道的小事看得过重了。在大学里，重要的是做自然的“我”，发现真正的“我”，而不是试图把一切都做得尽善尽美。

他是一个经典人物，因为他是工作累死的。他们都相信，假如他能够多活5年的话，他将会自然被提拔为第一把手。他一直被誉为同事们的典范。他一周工作6天，一天工作10多个小时。他的兴趣只限于工作。当然，他偶尔锻炼一下，以保持身体健康。他将任何形式的娱乐活动都视作浪费时间。他太忙了，没有时间和孩子们待在一起。结果跟孩子们有点疏远了，至少他的孩子们是这么想的。然而，他对公司来说却十分重要，公司里每一个人都爱他，甚至崇拜他，因为在他们眼里，他近乎完美。但是，谁来帮助这孤儿寡母收拾他去世后的残局呢？

大约三年前，我和我妻子对大城市的嘈杂生活感到厌倦，因此，决定在一个小镇落户，那里安静宜人，现在我们的生活很好，因为这个地方方便，办点事步行去就行。我经常四处走走，心情好的时候，在咖啡店歇一下，喝杯饮料，或在洲际戏院停住脚步，看一场戏。但是，有些人似乎不理解我的怪癖行为。我喜欢尽可能的多走路，这是大部分人所不能理解的，因为他们太过于依赖车子了。有时，几乎到了荒唐滑稽的程度，即便只是10分钟步行的路程，他们仍然喜欢驾车。有时，我在独自散步，他们会问我是否需要搭车。但我认为，车子使腿脚功能退化。在这个社会里，多数人占据主导地位。我意识到。我或许是唯一主张短距离步行的人，这也就是我不时地遇到麻烦的原因。比如：许多商店把门前清理出来，只容顾客停车，店家关心的只是商业成功。

有人认为，生活中乐趣胜过其他一切事情。他们甚至从不考虑任何严肃的事，不考虑这事是否合乎道德，是否关乎诚信或是否属实必要等。当然，许多事确实有乐趣。全家郊游有乐趣，打一场篮球有乐趣，喝着咖啡聊天有乐趣。但是，如果你把找乐子看成是生活中必不可少的东西的话，你必然会寻找越来越刺激的方法来为自己提供乐趣，其中一个典型的方法是不断提升危险或酗酒的程度,以设法得到一点乐趣。你不应该亵渎乐趣，否则，不管你如何努力，就是没有乐趣。这就是“过”的代价。正确的方法是带着一份敬意来看待乐趣，这样，你时常可以有一点新鲜的乐趣。

美国有调查表明，大多数人出于不同的原因，在不同程度上说过谎。有时，他们说谎是为了让别人高兴。比如：装出积极的态度来肯定朋友或配偶，实际上他/她内心却没有如此认可。有时，他们说谎是为了提升自己，这种情况现在越来越普遍了。有时，是为了避免伤害别人，当未加粉饰的实情难以接受的时候更是如此。有人则把说谎看作一种必要的社交润滑剂。不管怎么说，说谎都是为了掩饰实情。关于说谎，不同的人有不同的观点。有些人认为，假话，即便是看上去无害的假话，也可能带来预料不到的后果，一个人说了第一个谎话之后，他就需要说更多的谎话来掩饰最初的谎话，最后变成沉重的精神负担，一位哲学家警告说，如果一个人说谎，他就（等于）把自己置于一个溜滑的斜坡上，因为他的心理障碍减轻了。但是，另外一些人则认为，我们不必不惜一切代价去避免所有善意的谎言，因为一个善意的谎言可能仅仅是用牺牲信任而去换取关心和爱护而已。对此你持什么观点呢？

诗歌像语言一样普遍，并且几乎和语言一样古老，在某些方面，读诗很像读小说：我们注意细节和语言，搞清上下文的关系并作出推断，最后得出结论。然而，读诗又与平常的阅读有所不同。与小说比较，诗歌则是一种浓缩和含蓄的艺术。
读诗一遍是不够的，因为一首好诗，读一遍是不能读尽其意的。读诗的最佳方法与读报的最佳方法正好相反。读报是迅速浏览，读诗则是慢慢咀嚼。我们为什么要读诗呢？我们认为读诗可以得到快乐。比如：通过读诗，我们可以发现并享受斯宾塞的梦幻、弥尔顿的壮丽华兹华斯的自然简洁、济慈的优美旋律以及拜伦的叙事魅力。另外，读诗使人明智灵秀，那是培根在《论学习》中告诉我们的。

一个年轻人神情紧张而又犹豫，他推开门，走进一间宽敞的房间。一个老人坐在摇椅上，读着一本厚厚的羊皮纸制成的书，看上去像荷马的《奥德赛》之类的经典作品。老人没抬头，指了指旁边的椅子，示意年轻人坐下。老人说：“奥斯汀先生，很高兴认识你。”
“我想问你是不是卖，呃，一种有着特殊效果的混合物。”年轻人问道。“我亲爱的先生，事实上，我这里卖的任何东西都是不寻常的，虽然库存相当有限。”“但是你……”年轻人有点迫不及待。“这是一种像水一样的无色液体，化在咖啡里、茶里、葡萄酒里或其他饮料里是看不出来的，”老人打断他的话，“但它被起名为万能清洁液，它能够清洁一切东西，从手套到生活。我相信生活有时是需要清洗的。”
“恐怕那不是我所需要的东西,”年轻人说。“没关系,不过我想让你知道它的价格。小小的一勺,当然这也足够了, 我收费不下于6000美元,一分也不能少。”年轻人很焦虑,但是老人
接着说:“然而要是爱情魔液也收这么多的钱是不合实际的,甚至是残酷的。年轻人喜欢爱情魔液,但是情况往往是这样的,他们,我指的是那些需要爱情魔液的人,他们不够富裕,这么高的价格他们是买不起的,所以啊,它的价格低得令人难以置信。”这时年轻人的脸上露出了微笑。“这个爱情魔液有...”“它有着不同寻常的效果,”老人说。他似乎能够读懂年轻人的心思。“效果是持久的, 姑娘喝了这爱情魔液,将把你看成她生活中唯一的兴趣。"
年轻人离开了屋子,心里溢满了幸福感。他太幼稚了,不知道他以及和他相似的年轻人将很有可能用自己的钱来造就一个富翁,因为他或许会在将来不断地造访老人,来买其他价格昂,效果不同寻常的混合物。

一个典型中国人的观点是：吃是第一乐事。中国人非常重视吃，许多人还把它看成是人生乐事之一。这里有一个很有趣的例子，它说明了西方人和中国人对待吃的不同态度。西方人上餐馆时，最关心的往往是找一张好餐桌，更确切地说，找一个可以看见别人，又能让人看见的位置。然而，中国人上餐馆时则喜欢找一个不为外人所见的小包间。这种差异的原因在于，前者在用餐时由于有社会交流而感到惬意，而后者则主要从品尝食物中得到快乐。
许多人认为，一顿精美的传统中国餐准备工作极其细致。据说，备料和配料大约占实际工作量的90% ，烹调本身则仅仅占大约10%。既然烹饪如此精细，那么享用也应该与之匹配。一顿正宗的中国餐宴可以长达三个多小时。难怪有人说，它简直像个宗教仪式。

专业作家和业余作家对于文学创作有着不同的、甚至截然相反的看法。专业作家强调努力追求完美，因此他们认为修改是写作的要素，而业余作家则认为作品应该反映作者最自然的真我。专业作家将写作看成一种职业，坚持不懈地为写出上乘作品而努力，而业余作家则将写作看成一种爱好，从中可以得到很多快乐。专业作家孤独而辛劳，收获的是“两耳不闻窗外事”的快乐，而业余作家往往喜欢社交，经常光顾时尚别致的餐馆和咖啡屋。总之，不同的人可能有不同的写作习惯和写作风格，重要的是写作应该反映一个人的思想、情感和个性。

好学生显示出许多优秀的品质，在这些品质中极为重要的有好奇心、自制力和主动性。他们对各种各样的事物有着盎然的兴趣。他们观察外部世界，从眼前发生的事情中学到东西。伴随他们好奇心的是“研究精神”，因为他们把学习的过程看作是一种研究。他们在角度新颖的观察和辛勤钻研的基础上，形成一种新的理解。他们相信，没有不懈的努力，就难以尝到学习的美味果实，任何不朽的巨大成就都来自于无数小成就的积累。他们总是乐于迎接困难的挑战，主动探索各种可能性，通过实践去寻找自己的答案，而不是等待老师给他们答案, 因为他们从不期望别人灌输给他们任何东西。当然，有抱负的上进学生应该充分注意一些要点。比如：他们上课时应该认真投入，避免迟到以及重视建设性的批评。

我们在海上漂了大约20天，我也近3天竭力不让自己合眼了。但是，我恐怕撑不了多久了。我一打瞌睡，另外9个人就会立刻扑向放在我的双腿下的最后那只水壶。那里装着所有剩下的水。我知道那水是我们的希望。这就是为什么我不顾各种咒骂和咆哮，非得设法让这些水存在尽可能长的时间现在，另外9个人眼睛正盯着我脚下的水壶。巴勒特看上去好似在催我立刻把水分配给大家。他已经失去理智了。他试图站起来，但我用枪对准他的胸口，迫使他再次坐下去。跟他们一样，我也十分渴望喝点水。但是，我是指挥员，是一个不得不动脑子的人。这就是我与他们之间的差异。然而，现在我的眼皮太沉了，实在撑不开了，我喃喃地说了句：“接过去吧，水手长，”便睡着了。我醒来时，看见巴勒特跪在我身边，一只手拿着水壶，另一只手握着枪，我不能相信我的眼睛：“难道他们没把水给喝了？”巴勒特一定看出了我的心思。“你说：‘接过去吧，水手长。’不是吗？”他问道：“我一直不让这群畜生碰

目前，生活的重担束缚和压倒了许多人。几乎每天，他们都有无数的事情要处理。工作，工作，没完没了的工作。他们永远不能按自己的意愿去安排工作，而是被工作，被各种各样周而复始的事情驱赶着。他们早上起身时已经将一天排得满满当当。他们事先把自己的时间安排得毫无插针的间隙，根本没有休闲娱乐的时间。
人们为何为事所役呢？个中原因纷繁，其中之一就是科技的新发展。科技原本让人们看到获得更多自由的可能，实际上却大大束缚了我们，因为手机、电子邮件、手提电脑这些科技新玩意催着人们立即作出回应。
人们应该尽量摆脱那张令人头晕目眩的时间表的影响，在工作和生活中获得自由度，为什么呢？因为人们需要闲暇，需要时常停下来想一想，以滋养自己的灵魂。人们需要品味人生经历，从平静地回味、愉悦地展望未来中获得快乐，而这一切只能在身心松弛的时候才能做到。

虽然不同的人对“家”有不同的解释，但是大部分人认为家是一个让人感到舒适和宁静的地方。然而，现在人们看重的是房子，而不是家，因为拥有物质财产表明社会地位。一个人只有取得一定的社会地位，才能赢得社会的尊重。因此，宽敞的房子、时髦的装潢便成了许多人梦寐以求的东西。
我认为家是重要的，因为那是为我们遮风挡雨，提供一日三餐的地方，更因为家是让我们感到踏实、有私密空间的地方。歌德说过：“无论是国王还是农夫，在家找到安宁的人是最幸福的人。”我怀恋往昔的日子，那时家是一个人从摇篮到墓地一辈子居住的地方，因此，人们对家有着千丝万缕的情感依恋。然而，一个人可以怀旧，但不能生活在过去。相反，我们必须面对现实，面对一个允许人们拥有彩虹般多彩经历的当今社会。重要的是，不管我们追求什么，我们不应该忽视所追求的东西的情感和精神内涵。

翻译 中英对译 英文散文赏析
原文 巷 柯灵译者-张培基 巷，是城市建筑艺术中一篇飘逸恬静的散文，一幅古雅冲淡的图画①。这种巷，常在江南的小城市中，有如古代的少女，躲在僻静的深闺，轻易不肯抛头露面②。你要在这种城市里住久了,和它真正成了莫逆，你才有机会看见她③，接触到她优娴贞静的风度。 人耐心静静走去，要老半天才走完。它又这么曲折, 什么时候，你向巷中踅去，都如宁静的黄昏，可以清晰地听到自己的 斑斑驳驳的苔痕，墙上挂着一串串苍翠欲滴 的藤萝，简直像古朴的屏风。春来 小巷的动人处就是它无比的悠闲。无论是谁， 你的心情就会如巷尾不波的古井，那是一种和平的静穆，而不是阴森和肃杀⑩。它闹中取静，别有天地，仍是人间。它可能是一条现代的乌衣巷(11)，家家有自 己的一本哀乐帐， 使人忘忧。 译文 The Lane Ke Ling The lane, in terms of the art of urban architecture, is like a piece of prose of gentle gracefulness or a painting of classic elegance and simplicity①.

新四级汉译英段落翻译技巧 新四级汉译英段落翻译解题技巧 ?题型简介?基本要求?翻译技巧 题型简介 ?自2013年12月考次起，全国大学英语四级考试的翻译部分将由原单句汉译英调整文段落汉译英，翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等题材。 140~160词 基本要求 要求考生以词、句的翻译为基础，扩大到对整体段落的翻译的把握，段落内容相对完整、结构相对独立。翻译时要把整个段落当作一个有机的语篇，注意各句子之间的衔接和段落间的过渡。 翻译技巧 (一) 词的翻译 (二) 句的翻译 (三) 段落翻译 (一) 词的翻译 1. 词义选择 2. 词类转换 3. 词的增补 4. 词的省略 5. 词的替代 1.词义选择 (1)语境词?汉语有些词语的含义会因语境而发生微妙的变化，称之为“语境词”，应紧密结合上下文译成相应的词，不能按照原词的字面意思来译。?原文：手机刷新了人与人的关系。?译文：Cell phone have altered the relationship among people. ?分析：“刷新”此处实际是指“改变”，而并非是我们平常所指的含义，因此不宜译成refurbish或renovate，翻译为alter或 change更恰当。 (2) 表意模糊的词?原文：这所全国重点大学为社会输送了大批的人才。?译文：The national key university has prepared batches of qualified graduates for the society. ?分析：“输送”在句中是一个模糊笼统的词，具体说来是指“培养出”。“人才”笼统，译为qualified graduates比较确切。 (3) 比喻词汇?汉语有许多比喻词汇，表面意义和喻指含义完全不同，英译时应跳出机械对应的思维定式，动态地译出其潜在含义。?原文：老师答应给这几个学生“吃小灶”。?译文：The teacher has promised to give these students special tuition. ?分析：“吃小灶”在这里指的是“个别辅导”。 2.词类转换 (1)动词?名词?英语动词受到形态变化规则的严格限制，大量本应该由动词表达的概念，常需借助于名词，因为名词不受形态规则的束缚，使用相对灵活、方便。?原文：吃头两个主菜时，也是赞不绝口。?译文：You"ll be full of praise while eating the first two main courses. ?分析：英语中有大量抽象名词表示行为或动作意义 advice,agreement,inheritance,knowledge,praise,use等。以上例句借助抽象名词表达了特定的行为动作，译文也显得较为地道。 (2)动词?介词?介词与名词密切相关，英语名词的广泛使用使得介词也频繁出现，而且英语中有些介词本身就是由动词演变来的。汉译英时，有些动词可以用介词来表达。?原文：人们常用剪纸美化环境。?译文：People often beautify their homes with paper cuttings. (3)动词?形容词?汉语的一些动词常常用形容词来表达，这些形容词通常是与动词同源的词（如dreamful,doubtful,sympathetic 等），这样的译文有时会更地道、标准。?原文：在明朝和清朝时期特别流行。?译文：It was widespread particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

2016年6月大学英语四级段落翻译预测 大学英语四级段落翻译预测一 别在意外表，因为外表的东西往往不真实，也别在意财富，因为再多的财富也会有用完的一天。找一个能让你绽放笑容的人，因为一个笑容就能让灰暗的一天变得明亮。去做你想做的梦，去你想去的地方，成为你想成为的人，因为人生短暂，机会错过了可能就不会再有。只有不断的尝试才能让你变得强大，永远怀抱希望你才会开心，幸福。 Don’t go for looks which often deceive you. Don’t go for wealth which would be used up however amazing it is. Go for someone who will make you smile because a smile is enough to render a dark day bright. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; become the one you want to be, because one’s life is short and once you let the chance slip through your fingers it may not come to you again. Only when you keep trying can you become strong; only when you cherish hopes can you remain cheerful and happy. 大学英语四级段落翻译预测二 七夕节——中国人的情人节 中国人也有一天是奉献给爱情的。这就是农历七月初七的七夕节，常被人成为中国的情人节。这一传统浪漫节日源自一个古老的传说：年轻的牛郎和织女分居银河的两岸，终年隔岸苦苦相望而无法相会。玉皇大帝可怜这对恋人，传令天下喜鹊在七月初七这天夜晚全部飞到银河上来。架起鹊桥，好让牛郎、织女在桥上相会。 “Qi Xi Jie” ----Chinese Valentine’s Day The Chinese also have a day devoted to “love” that is “Qi Xi Jie”, or the seventh of the seventh month on the Chinese lunar calendar. Often called “Chinese Valentine’s Day”. This romantic traditional festival originated from a old legend: Niu Lang and Zhi Nv were fairies living on opposite sides of the Milky Way. They have been waiting for each other for a year but can not meet. Feeling sorry for the two lonely sprites, the Jade Emperor ordered all magpies must flock over the Milky Way to form a bridge so that the couple could meet there on the seventh night of the seventh month. 大学英语四级段落翻译预测三

英语四级历年真题汉译英翻译讲解
英语四级历年真题汉译英讲解 第一题（外国直接投资）： 商务部(Ministry of Commerce)最近发布的数据表明，在中国的外国直接投资(foreign Direct Investment,FDI)保持稳定增长。中国已经成为外国直接投资首选地。中央政府采取了一系列促进外国投资的扶持措施，这样既促进了经济增长，又贏得了国内外投资者的信心。商务部正在研究措施，进一步改善外商投资管理机制，创建一个透明和公平的竞争环境。世界银行(World Bank)也高度评价中国吸引外国直接投资所取得的成就。 表达难点： 1.第1句中的定语“商务部最近发布的”较长，故将其处理后置定语，用分词短语 recently released by theMinistry of Commerce 来表达。 2.第3句中的“这样既促进了经济增长，又贏得了国内外投资者的信心”，可用 which引导的非限制性定语从句来表达，which指代前面“中央政府采用了一系列促进外国投资的扶持措施”这一做法。“既……又……”在英语中的对等结构为both...and，其中both可省略。 3.第4句中的“进一步改善外商投资管理机制，创建一个透明和公平的竞争环境” 为表并列的两个目的，可将其译作两个不定式短语作状语 “to further improve... and (to) create...”，用and连接时后一个不定式的to可以省略。“外商投资管理机制”的中心词为管理机制 management mechanism，翻译时可在其后采用“of+名词”的形式构成名词所有格，对其进行补充说明，表示“……的”。 4.最后一句中的定语“中国吸引外国直接投资所取得的”用in引导的介词短语 in attracting Foreign DirectInvestment来表示在哪个方面所取得的成就。 而“中国”则作为形容词置于“成就”前面，这样比较符合英语的表达习惯。 资所取得的成就。 参考译文 The statistics recently released by the Ministry of Commerce showe d that Foreign DirectInvestment in China maintained steady growth . China has become the top destination for FDI.The central govern ment adopted a series of supportive measures to facilitate foreigni nvestment, which strengthened economic growth and won the co nfidence of investors athome and abroad. The Ministry of Commerc e is working on measures to further improve themanagement mech anism of foreign investment and create a transparent and fair co mpetitionenvironment. The World Bank also spoke highly of Chin a's achievements in attracting ForeignDirect Investment. 第二题（孙子兵法）： 孙武是春秋末期(the late Spring and Autumn Period)杰出的军事家（strategist）。他所著的《孙子兵法》(Sun Zi's Art of War)是中国古代最著名的兵书，也是世界上现存最早的兵书。《孙子兵法》现存13篇，共6000字。在这不长的篇幅中，孙武全面论述了自己对战争的看法，提出了诸如知彼知己、集中优势兵力打败敌人等许多作战思想。《孙子兵法》已被译为多种文字，在世界上也享有很高的声誉。 表达难点：
