Lesson 16(E—C)

Tess of the D‘Urbervilles(1)

By Thomas Hardy

On an evening in the latter part of May a middle-aged man was walking homeward from Shaston to the village of Marlott, in the adjoinning Vale of Blakemore or Blackmoor. The pair of legs that carried him were rickety, and there was a bias in his gait which inclined him somewhat to the left of a straight line. He occasinally gave a smart nod, as if in confirmation of some opinion, though he was not thinking of anything in particular. An empty egg-basket was slung upon his arm, the nap of his hat was reffled, a patch being quite worn away at its brim where his thumb came in taking it off. Presently hi was met by an elderly parson astride on a gray mare, who, as he rode, hummed a wandering tune.

?Good night t‘ee,‘ said the man with the basket.

?Good night, Sir John,‘ said the parson.

The pedestrian, after another pace or two, halted, and turned round.

?Now, sir, begging your pardon; we met last market-day on this road about this time, and I zaid ―Good night,‖ and you made reply ―Good night, Sir John,‖ as now.‘

?I did,‘ said the parson.

?And once before that—near a month ago.‘

?I may have.‘

?Then what might your meaning be in calling me ―Sir John‖ these different times, when I be plain Jack Durbeyfield, the haggler?

The parson rode a step or two nearr.

?It was only my whim,‘he said; and, after a moment‘s hesitation: ?It was on account of a discovery I made some little time ago, whilst I was hunting up pedigres for the new county history.

I am Parson Tringham, the antiquary, of Stagfoot Lane. Don‘t you reaally know, Durbeyfield, that you are the lineal representative of the ancient and knightly family of the d‘Urbervilles, who dervie their descent from Sir Pagan d‘Urberville, that renowned knight who came from Normandy with William the Conqueror, as appears by Battle Abbey Roll?‘

?Never heard it before, sir!‘

?Well it‘s true.‘

?But you‘ll turn back and have a quart of beer wi‘me on the strength o‘t Pa‘son Tringham? There‘s a very pretty brew in tap at The Pure Drop—though, to be sure, not so good as at Rolliver‘s.‘

?No, thank you—not this evening, Durbeyfield. You‘ve had enough already.‘

(from Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D‘Urbervilles, Chapter 1)

译文:

五月后半月里,有一天傍晚,一个中年男子,正打沙氏屯,朝着跟这相连的那个布蕾谷(或者布莱谷)里面的马勒村往家里走去。支着他的那两条腿老是摇摇晃晃的,他走路的姿势里,又总有一种倾斜的趋势,使他或多或少地往一条直线的左边歪。待一会儿他就轻快地把头一点,好像是对某一个意见表示赞成似的,其实他心里头可并没想什么特别的事儿。

他胳膊上挎着一个空着的鸡蛋篮子,他头上那顶帽子的绒头都乱七八糟的,帽檐上摘帽子的时候大拇指接触的那个地方还磨掉了一大块。他往前刚走了一会儿,就有一个要上年纪的牧师,跨着一匹灰色的骒马,一路信口哼着一个小调儿,迎着面儿走来。

“晚安,”挎篮子的人说。

“约翰爵士,晚安,”牧师说。

那个步行的男子又走了一两步,站住了脚,转过身来:

“先生,对不起。上次赶集的日子,咱们差不多也是这样儿在这条路上碰见的,那回俺对你说‘晚安’,你也跟刚才一样回答说‘约翰爵士,晚安’。”

“不错,是,”牧师说。

“在那一次以前,大概有一个月了,也有过这么一回。”

“也许。”

“俺分明是平平常常的杰克·德北,一个乡下小贩子,你可三番两次地老叫俺‘约翰爵士’,到底是什么意思?

牧师拍马走近了一两步。

“那不过是我一时的高兴就是了,”他说;跟着迟疑了一会儿:“那是因为不久以前,我正考查各家的谱系预备编新郡志的时候,发现了一个事情,所以我才这么称呼你。我是丝台夫路的崇干牧师兼博古家。德北,你真不知道你就是那古老的武士世家德伯氏的嫡派子孙吗?德伯氏的始祖是那位有名气的武士裴根·德伯爵士,据‘纪功寺谱’上说,他是跟着胜利王维廉从诺曼底到英国来的。”

“从来没听说过,先生!”

“这是真事。”

……

“可是,崇干牧师,既是这样,那你回来跟俺去喝它一夸特啤酒,好不好?清酒店有开了桶的好酒,可是比起露力芬店里的,自然还差点儿。”

“谢谢你,不喝了,今儿晚上不喝了,德北。我瞧你喝的已经不少了。”

Lesson 17(E—C)

An American Tragedy(1)

By Theodore Dreiser

To-day, being driven by the necessity of doing something for himself, h entered the drug store which occupied the principal corner, facing 14th street at Baltimore, and finding a girl cashier in a small glas cage near the door, asked of her who was in charge of the soda fountain. Interested by his tentative and uncertain manner, as well as his deep and rather appealing eyes, and instinctively judging that he was looking for something to do, she observed: ―why, Mr.Secor, there, the manager of the store.‖ She nodded in the direction of a short, meticulously dressed man of about thirty-five, who was arranging an especial display of toilet novelies on the top of a glass case. Clyde approached him, and being still very dubious as to how one went about getting anything in life, and finding him engrossed in what he was doing, stood first on one foot and then on the other, until at last, sensing some one was hovering about for something, the man turned: ―Well?‖ he queried.

―You don‘t happen to ned a soda fountain helper, do you ?‖ Clyde cast at him a glance that sid as plain as anythng could, ―If you have any such place, I wish you would please give it to me. I

―No, no, no,‖eplied this individual, who was blond and vigorous and by nature a little irritabl and contentious. He was about to turn away, but seeing a flicker of disappointment and depression pass over Clyde‘s face, he turned and added, ―Ever work in a place like this efore?‖―No place as fine as this No, sir.‖Replied Clyde, rather fancifully moved by all that was about him. ―I‘m working now down at Mr.Klinkle‘s store at 7th and Brooklyn, but it isn‘t anything like this one and I‘d like to get something better if I could.‖

―Uh,‖ went on his interviewer, rather pleased by the innocent tribute to the superirity of his store. ―Well, that‘s reasonable enough. But there isn‘t anything here right now that I could offer you. We don‘t make many changes. But if you‘d like to be a bellboy, I can tell you where you might get a place. They‘re looking for an etra boy in the hotel inside there right now. The capptain of the boys was telling me he was in need of one. I should think that would be as good as helping about a soda fountain, any day.‖

Then seeing Clyde‘s face suddenly brighten, he added: ―But you mustn‘t say that I sent you, because I don‘t know you. Just ask for Mr. Squires inside there, under the stairs, and he can tell you all about it.‖

(from Theodore Drieser, An American Tragedy, Book 1, Chapter 4)

译文:

今天他因为急于要给自己想个办法,迫不得已,便走进了那家杂货店。这家店铺座落在巴尔第摩街路口,正面是十四号街,地位正当要冲。他看见靠近门口的一座小玻璃柜房里有一个女出纳员,就去向她打听卖汽水的柜台归谁负责。这个姑娘一看他那试控和踌躇的神情和他那双深沉、相当讨人欢喜的眼睛,便对他发生了兴趣。她直觉地揣测到他是要找事做,便说:“欧!塞科尔先生,在那儿,他是本店的经理。”——她朝一个三十五岁上下的矮个子男人那边点点头。那个人穿得很讲究,一点也不马虎。他正在布置一只玻璃柜上的一些新奇化妆品,要摆成一种特别的式样。克莱德走到他身边,不过心里还在犹疑不定,不知道应该怎样才能找个出路,同时他又看出人家正在全神贯注地干他手头的事情,于是便站在一边,两只脚替换着歇一歇。到后来,那个经理觉得仿佛有人在他身边守着,想找他谈什么事,这才转过身来说:“有事吗?”

“您这儿卖汽水的柜台上要不要添个助手?”克莱德对他望了一眼,把自己的迫切心情表露得再清楚不过了。“要是有这样的位置,就请您让我来干吧。我想找这么个事情。”

“没有,没有,没有,”这个人回答说。他长得漂漂亮亮、精神饱满,生性有点暴躁,喜欢争吵。他正想走开,可是一看克莱德脸上掠过一阵失望和沮丧的神色,就转过身来说:“从前在这种地方做过吗?”

“没有在这么讲究的地方做过。没有,先生,”克莱德回答说。这里的一切景象不免使他眼花缭乱,很感兴奋。“我眼下在七号街和布鲁克林街拐角,克林克尔先生店里帮忙。跟这儿比起来,那就算不上什么了,我要是能找到好一些的事,倒是希望挪个地方。”

“欧,”跟他谈话的这个人一听他这么天真地给他的铺子捧场,相当高兴,于是就说:“欧,这倒是人情之常。不过眼下我这儿没有什么事给你做。我们不常换人。不过你要是愿意在饭店里做服务员,我倒可以告诉你上那去找个位置。这里面的饭店眼下正要添个服务员。那儿的领班跟我说过,他需要找个伙计。我看这个差事总赶得上在卖汽水的柜台上当帮手吧。”

他一看克莱德脸上突然露出喜色,又接着说:“不过你千万别说是我介绍你去的,因为我并不认识你。你只要上那里面去,到楼梯下面找史魁尔斯先生就行了,一切情形他会告诉

祝福(摘录1)

鲁迅

她不是鲁镇人。有一年的冬初,四叔家里要换女工,做中人的卫老婆子带她进来了,头上扎着白头绳,乌裙,蓝夹袄,月白前心,年纪大约二十六七,脸色青黄,但两颊却还是工的。卫老婆子叫她祥林嫂,说是自己母家的邻舍,死了当家的,所以出来做工了。四叔皱了皱眉,四婶已经知道了他的意思,是在讨厌她是一个寡妇。但看她模样还周正,手脚都壮大,又只是顺着眼,不开一句口,很像一个安分耐劳的人,便不管四叔的皱眉,将她留下。试工期内,她整天的做,似乎闲着就无聊,又有力,简直抵得过一个男子,所以第三天就定局,每月工资五百文。

大家都叫她祥林嫂;没问她姓什么,但中人是卫家山人,既说是邻居,那大概也姓卫了。她不爱说话,别人问了才回答,回答的也不多。直到十几天之后,这才陆续的知道她家里还有严厉的婆婆;一个小叔子,十多岁,能打柴了;她是春天没了丈夫的;他本来也打柴为生,比她小十岁:大家所知道的就只是这一点。日子很快的过去了,她的做工却毫没有懈,食物不论,力气是不惜的。人们都说鲁四老爷家里雇着了女工,实在比勤快的男人还勤快。到年底,扫尘、洗地、杀鸡、宰鹅,彻夜的煮福礼,全是一人担当,竟没有添短工。然而她反满足,口角边渐渐的有了笑影,脸上也白胖了。

译文:

The New Year‘s Sacrifice

(Ecerpt)

She was not from Luzhen. Early one winter, when my uncle‘s family wanted a new maid, Old Mrs. Wei the go-between brought her along. She had a white mourning band round heer hair and was wearing a black shirt, blue jacket, and pale green bodice. Her age was about twenty-six, and though her face was sallow her cheeks were red. Old Mrs. Wei introduced her as Xianglin‘s Wife, a neighbour of her mother‘s family, who wanted to go out to work now that her husband had died. My uncle frowned at this, and my aunt knew that he disapproved of taking on a widow. She looked just the person for them, though, with her big strong hands and feet; and, judging by her downcast eyes and silence, she was a good worker who would know her place. So my aunt ignored my uncle‘s frown and kept her. During her trial period she wouked from morning till night as if she found resting irksome, and proved strong enough to do the work of a man; so on the third day she was taken on for five hundred cash a month.

Everybody called her ianglin‘s Wife and no one asked her own name, but since she had been introduced by someone from Wei Village as a neighbour, her surname was presumably also Wei. She said little, only answering briefly when asked a question. Thus it took them a dozen days or so to find out bit by bit that she had a strict mother-in –law at home and a brother-in –law of ten or so, old enough to cut wood. Her husband, who had died that spring, had been a woodcutter too, and

had been ten years younger than she was. This little was all they could learn.

Time passed quickly. She went on working as hard as ever, not caring what she ate, never sparing herself. It was generally agreed that the Lu family‘s maid actually got through more work than a hard-working man. At the end of the year, she swept and mopped the floors, killed the chickens and geese, and sat up to boil the sacrificial meat, all single-handed, so that they did not need to hire etra help. And she for her part was quite contented. Little by little the trace of a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth, while her face became whiter and plumper.

法律英语学习方法

法律英语学习的层次与材料简介来源:胡敏的日志 接触法律方面的英语已数年,从漫无目的信手乱翻,到上法律英语课,再到上英语的法律课程,到现在的用英语进行法律方面的工作,走了很多弯路,也积攒了点滴经验体会。看版面上相关的讨论,觉得还可以更体系化,总结几点,和各位切磋。 学习法律英语,不能仅以会读、会写几个词汇就觉得万事大吉,要清楚自己的目标、学习的层次,循序渐进,渐次登堂入室。根据不同的层次,大致可分一下几个类型: 1. 入门搭框型:了解法律英语的基本词汇、语用同时西方法律、司法基本体系构架,即Mr.何家弘的“一石二鸟”。 可以学习下何家弘的《法律英语》(法律出版社,2003 第二版,好像已有配套翻译)。这种书要精读。试着自己动手翻译一遍,事半功倍。基础好同学可以接着读一点,英国人或美国人专门给外国人学法律英语的书,如《English Law and Language》(Cassell 出版)。 2. 专业型拓展型:拓展下自己的专业或者自己喜欢的领域。建议通读一本相关领域的简明教材,例如blackstone,nutshell系列的都不错的。另外,以熟悉的领域为核心,是提高英语的水平的有效捷径。 3. 比较参考型:即研究某个课题外国是否有相同的法律规定、案例规则等。学会泛读,把握主旨。以精读课的方式来读,反而会让自己陷入生词、查词旋涡。类似方面的,可以读一些案例。例如:https://https://www.sodocs.net/doc/3d8214436.html,数据库大学校园网通常能已经由学校付费,学生可以免费使用。 (附:《https://www.sodocs.net/doc/3d8214436.html,数据库》是面向法律专业人员设计的,拥有11400多个数据资料库以及31500多项资料来源,特别是在法律事务方面,是收录最全的法律资源库之一。包含了LexisNexis中全部法律内容,也包含了商业、金融、政治、时事等方面的内容,主要是全球范围内(如英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、新加坡、马来西亚、中国内地、香港等)法律案例、法律法规条文、国家法、国际条约和协议、知识产权等,使用的对象为律师、大学法学院、法律咨询公司、司法官员等。) 4. 日常应用型:即与法律有关的日常业务中,处理涉外信函。注意学习一些商务信函的知识和相关领域的常用词汇、句型、格式。推荐《国际商务写作教程》(王素清,对外经贸大学出版社)。日常应用的专业词汇、句型跟法律英语教材、案例书籍、法条等的具有很大差别,这是新手一定要注意的。多阅读些此前的卷宗,虚心学习,不怕修改,三几个月就能顺手了。 5. 专业应用型:即出具外语法律文书、法律建议,如合同等。最保险的还是找一些类似的格式文书照搬过来,格式文书在网上能够搜索的到,或者参考此前业务成文。 6. 翻译通才型:即从事涉及法律内容的材料翻译。多读、多练、功夫在诗外。中英文方面的法律书都通读些,一些基本的简明教程即可。另外,还应当以法律为中心,多关注关联的知识

作文翻译 Unit 1 李明是学化学的,性格开朗幽默,颇有魅力,但英语成绩不佳,每次只能勉强及格。老师警告他,英语不好会阻碍他拿奖学金,并亮出了自己的王牌:如果李明不努力,就让他考试不过关。老师还告诉他,学习英语不能只为了文凭,否则他即使大学毕业,也还是个半文盲。李明虽然保持镇定,但他明白,他的学业生涯正在攸关之际,必须安心下来埋头学习,坚持不懈。 Li Ming was a chemistry major, a charmer noted for his easygoing and humorous temperament. However, his English was so poor that he always barely got by. The teacher admonished him that his poor English would be an impediment to scholarship. What’s more, she showed her trump card: if Li Ming did not work hard. She would flunk him. He was also told that he should not learn English merely for the sake of his diploma. otherwise, even after graduation from university, he would still be semiliterate. Although Li Ming did not lose his composure, he was well aware that he had to settle down to work and follow through because his academic life was at stake. Unit2 我的朋友琳达接受过良好的教育,既美丽又端庄,三十好几依然没有人向她求婚。究其原因,她的事业心极强,整日扑在工作上,每天来往于住处和公司之间,根本没有时间和异性交往。一想到女儿这么大了还单身一人,她父母就焦虑不安。他们不知道该如何是好,甚至还去咨询一些社会学专家。 但是事情在上个月出现了转机,公司的总部调琳达到培训部。在新的工作岗位上,琳达遇到了第一个触动她心弦的男人。从此,他们几乎每天约会,琳达意识到她会不顾一切地爱这个男人。决定嫁人的时候,她告诉了我这个好消息。 虽然琳达的爱情让人想起电影中才会有的浪漫故事,我也担忧未来究竟会怎样,但我还是表达了我由衷的祝福,并爽快答应在婚礼那天做他们的伴娘和伴郎随从中的一员。 Linda, my good friend, has received good education and is both beautiful and elegant. She was not proposed to even when she was well over thirty. The reason is that she, as a career –oriented woman, is devoted to her work. Navigating between home and the company, she had hardly any time to socialize with people of the opposite sex. Her parents were gripped by anxiety at the thought of their daughter still remaining single at such an age. They did not know what to do and even consulted with some sociologists. But the situation began to change last month, when the headquarters of the company transferred Linda to the training department. On the new post, Linda met a man who tugged on her heartstrings for the first time. Ever since then, they dated virtually on a daily basis, and Linda realized that she would love the man beyond all reason. When she decided to take the matrimonial plunge, she informed me. Though Linda’s love is reminiscent of the romance that we see only in movies and I don’t know what the future will hold for her, I give her my heart-felt wishes and agree readily to be a member of the entourage of bridesmaids and groomsmen. Unit 3 食品供应商缺乏诚信已经成为当今社会的一大问题。部分企业欺骗公众,故意散布假消息,颂扬食品添加剂是食品工业的伟大成就,并声称适量的添加剂对健康有益无害。部分有良知的科学家对食品添加剂的含量和毒性展开了深入的病理学研究。研究结果表明,部分常见的食品添加剂经长期,可能会对健康产生危害,这被认为是食品安全研究方面极为重要的

like people who are well prepared. Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible don't have much of a chance of success. Unit4 Professor Huntington's paper greatly inspired me. According to him, in a plural / pluralistic society, there will inevitably be different opinions. The key is to deal with them in such a way that they can play a constructive rather than destructive role. He argues that in a plural/pluralistic society we must stress/attach importance to interper-sonal relationships, cooperation, and looking at issues from the perspective of other people. If some groups regard themselves as superior and treat other ethnic groups or religions with disre-spect, the whole society may be paralyzed. I am convinced that if we put into practice the ideas mentioned above, then there is the possibility of creating a new civilization. Unit5 For my own part. I should certainly hesitate to hire a clerk on his face/appearance alone. Appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might well commit an error in judg-ment if you went by appearances only with people like Edward Hyde Burton, the character created by Maugham. As far as appearance and manners were concerned, Burton seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes. Kind, gentle and candid, he was described by many as one of the most respectable people on earth. Nevertheless, he turned out to be cruel to a friend in need of his help. He insulted and fooled Turner who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising Unit6 There is no question that today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, to possess more, and to become a success. Workaholism, a modern addiction, has thus arisen. The cause of workaholism is the perception that by working longer hours and com-pleting more projects, we will enhance our self-worth. Many women today feel the same stress to produce and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder a variety of domestic responsibilities. Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to labor longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process. Unit7 A severe earthquake occurred all of a sudden at 10a.m. yesterday in a rural area, about 200 kilometers east of the city. Initial reports coming out of the region indicate the earthquake has caused widespread devastation/damage and heavy casualties. Many adolescents were among those injured or killed. Yet it remains obscure exactly how many people were hurt and killed as the entire area has been enveloped in rubble. However, one thing is certain: many of the survivors may face years of pain and suffering. Local people were clearly shaken by this reminder of their mortality. Some religious ones have gathered to pray that it will never recur. Unit8 Last Wednesday my classmate Caroline and I visited Zhouzhuang, a well-known town looped all around by streams. When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride, we decided to tour the town by boat. Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in all silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city. Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I'd like to go there again.

And because of this attitude, they will seldom advance or be promoted.

练习1:外国合营者如果有意以落后的技术和设备进行欺骗,造成损失的,应赔偿损失。If the foreign joint venturer causes any losses by deception through the intentional use of backward technology and equipment, it shall pay compensation for the losses. 修改提示:单复数考虑不周;用语不够简洁。 答案(修改要点):causes any losses →causes any loss(es) 造成一项或多项损失时都应当赔偿,不能仅用复数形式。 pay compensation for the losses →pay compensation therefor (therefor=for that/them) 练习2:人民法院、人民检察院和公安机关办理刑事案件,应当分工负责,互相配合,互相制约,以保证准确有效地执行法律。 原译文:The people’s courts, people’s procuratorates and public s ecurity organs shall, in handling criminal cases, divide their functions, each taking responsibility for its own work, and they shall co-ordinate their efforts and check each other to ensure correct and effective enforcement of law. 修改提示:“分工负责”,应理解为:侧重点在“负责”,而非“分工”,即分工过程中各负其责;respective 比own 更为妥当、准确;原来的译文中,and they shall …比较啰嗦,更严重的问题是,使to ensure …割断了与divide their functions 的联系。 答案(修改要点):in handling criminal cases, divide their functions, each taking responsibility for its own work, and they shall co-ordinate their efforts and check each other to ensure correct and effective enforcement of law.→… in handling criminal cases, take responsibility for their respective work while dividing functions, co-ordinate, and check each other, to ensure correct and effective enforcement of law. 练习3:商标注册人享有商标专用权,受法律保护。 原译文:Trademark registrants shall enjoy the right to exclusive use of their trademarks and shall be protected by law. 修改提示:商标专用权的译文“貌合神离”,立法原意是“商标专有权”;受法律保护的主语有些歧义,可加括号处理;原文shall滥用,因为并未刻意强调“必须,一定要”。 答案(修改为):Trademark registrants have the exclusive trademark right, (and are) protected by law. 练习4:被告人的犯罪情节极其严重、社会影响极其恶劣、社会危害极其严重。 原译文:The extremely serious circumstances of the offense committed by the accused have brought abominable influence and severe hazard to the whole society. 修改提示:bring的用法有些生硬,动宾搭配不太适当。 答案(修改为):have brought abominable influence and severe hazard to the whole society. → have exerted an abominable influence and posed a severe hazard to society. (exert, vt. 施加,产生,如exert pressure on, exert an influence on; abominable, adj. 可恶的,极坏的;pose v. 提出,形成,成为;使摆好姿势pose a problem; pose an obstacle/a threat to …) 练习5:买卖双方同意按下列条款由卖方出售,买方购进下列货物:货号; 品名及规格;数量;单价;总值(数量及总值均有_____%的增减, 由卖方决定);生产国和制造厂家;包装;唛头;装运期限;装运口岸;目的口岸;保险;

第十章 法律翻译中被动句式的翻译(课堂讲练)

第十章法律翻译中被动句式的翻译(课堂讲练) 本章教学目标:掌握法律英语翻译中有关被动句翻译的若干基本方法。 课堂讲练: 1、概述 在法律英语句式中,被动语态(PASSIVE VOICE)使用频率很高。通常在以下情况中,法律英语会使用被动语态: 例1、(1)、The Conformity Certificate of the Goods to be delivered shall be delivered directly to Party A by Party C on the Delivery Day of such Goods. 参考译文:拟交付货物的产品合格证应由丙方在该批货物交货日直接交给甲方(或:丙方应在交货日将拟交货物的产品合格证直接交给甲方)。 (2)、When the Goods to be pledged under this Agreement have been delivered to the Dealer acting on behalf of the Pledgee, the Pledgor shall submit to the Dealer a Delivery Note. 参考译文:依照本协议应质押的货物交付给代表质押权人的经销商后,质押人应向经销商提交一份交货单。 (3)、Unless otherwise specified in writing herein, all Confidential Information must be returned to the disclosing Party or destroyed on the expiration of the period of the receiving Party’s using such Confidential Information. 参考译文:除非本协议另有书面规定,所有机密信息在接收方使用期限届满时必须退还给披露方或者销毁。 (4)、如果在合同任何一方向对方发出就因本合同引起的或与之有关的任何争议进行协商的书面请求后15天内,争议仍未得到解决,则任何一方可以将该争议提交中国国际经济贸易仲裁委员会仲裁。 参考译文:Where the disputes arising out of or in relation to this Contract can not be resolved within fifteen (15) days after any Party hereto requesting in writing the other Party to commencing a consultation on said disputes, either Party may submit it to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission for arbitration(CIETAC). (5)、对于任何因违约而给对合同任何一方造成的损失,违约方必须做出金钱赔偿。 参考译文:Any losses suffered by any Party hereto arising from any breach shall be indemnified by the Party in breach. 小结:从上述例句的翻译中可以看出,法律英语使用被动语态,通常是因为(1)、强调动作对象(即受动者),比如例句(1)、(2),此时,往往施动者没有必要说出或不愿说出;或者(2)、施动者本身无法确定,如(3)、(4);或者两种情形兼而有之,如(5)。在汉译时,由于汉语被动语态的使用频率较英语为少,所以,不必受英语句式限制,将所有被动句都翻译成汉语被动句,译文应以既忠实于原文意义,又符合汉语表达习惯为要旨。 2、英语被动语态基本翻译技巧 1)、译成被动句 如需要强调源语中被动语态的受动对象,一般译成汉语被动句。不过,可以使用”予以、由、受、受到、得以、得到、经“等词汇替代”被“,以表达被动含义。 例2、(1)、If any of the provisions of this Contract is held invalid or unenforceable and unless the invalidity or unenforceability materially violates the fundamental intent and sense of other parts of this Contract, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provisions hereof. 参考译文:如果本合同任何条款被认定为无效或不可执行,除非此无效或不可执行性实质性地违反本合同根本意图或其其他部分意义,则不得影响本合同其他条款的有效性或可执行性。

基础综合英语课文翻译

基础综合英语课文翻译 导语:《基础综合英语》综合听说读写四个方面。每单元前半 部分涉及听说技能,而后半部分突出读写技能。这四种技能都围绕同一主题展开,相互补充,协同提高。下面是由的关于基础综合英语课文第一单元部分课文的翻译。欢迎阅读! 对F的赞美 今年将有好几万的十八岁青年毕业,他们都将被授予毫无意义 的文凭。这些文凭看上去跟颁发给比他们幸运的同班同学的文凭没什么两样。只有当雇主发现这些毕业生是半文盲时,文凭的效力才会被质疑。 最后,少数幸运者会进入教育维修车间——成人识字课程,我 教的一门关于基础语法和写作的课程就属于这种性质。在教育维修车间里,高中毕业生和高中辍学生将学习他们本该在学校就学好的技能,以获得同等学历毕业证书。他们还将发现他们被我们的教育体系欺骗了。 在我教课的过程中,我对我们的学校教育深有了解。在每学期 开始的时候,我会让我的学生写一下他们在学校的不快体验。这种时候学生不会有任何写作障碍!我希望有人能让我停止吸毒,让我学习。我喜欢参加派对,似乎没人在意。我是一个好孩子,不会制造任何麻烦,于是他们就让我考试通过,即使我阅读不好,也不会写作。很多诸如此类的抱怨。

我基本是一个空想社会改良家,在教这门课之前,我将孩子们 的学力能力差归咎于毒品、离婚和其它妨碍注意力集中的东西,要想学习好就必须集中注意力。但是,我每一次走进教室都会再度发现,一个老师在期望学生全神贯注之前,他必须先吸引学生的注意力,无论附近有什么分散注意力的东西。要做到这点,有很多种办法,它们与教学风格有很大的关系。然而,单靠风格无法起效,有另一个办法可以显示谁是在教室里掌握胜局的人。这个办法就是亮出失败的王牌。 我永远也忘不了一位老师亮出那张王牌以吸引我的一个孩子的 注意。我的小儿子是个世界级的万人迷,学习不怎么动脑筋却总能蒙混过关,直到施蒂夫特夫人当了他的老师,这种局面才彻底改变了。 当她教我儿子英语时,我儿子是一个高中高年级学生。他坐在 后排和他的朋友说话。她告诉我。你为什么不把他换到前排来?我恳求道,我相信令他难堪的做法会让他安心学习。史蒂夫特夫人从眼镜上方冷冷地看着我。我不会换高年级学生的座位。她说,我会给他们不及格的成绩。我大感紧张。我们儿子的学习生涯在我的眼前闪现。之前,没有老师以此威胁过他。我恢复镇定,艰难地表示我认为她是对的。到家时,我对此感觉良好。目前这是一种激进的做法,但是,嗯,为什么不这么做呢?她要给你不及格。我告诉我的儿我没有再多说什么。突然英语就在他的生活中成了头等大事。他期末得了一个A。 我知道一个例子不能说明问题,但我在夜校中看见了一群愤怒、怨恨的学生,他们愤恨的原因是学校让他们一路混,直到他们甚至都无法再假装跟得上。这些学生智力水平至少也算中等,但最终都退学
