1.香囊(scented sachet),古代也称“香袋”,通常是用布缝制或彩色丝线编织的袋子,里面塞满香草(aromatic herbs)。香囊最初用来吸汗、驱虫和避邪。香囊不仅有用,而且可作装饰品。它们的形状和大小各异,有圆形、椭圆形和其他形状。它们通常配有精致的图案,每个图案都象征着特别的含义。例如,双鱼或成对蝴蝶图案象征男女之爱;莲花或牡丹花(peony flower)等图案象征女性;松树和仙鹤图案象征长寿;石榴(guava)图案象征很多孩子。漂亮的香囊不仅是装饰品,而且含有丰富的文化和历史内涵。

2.中国民间艺术与中国哲学统一于“阴阳(yin-yang)生万物”这一理念。这一理念源于中国原始社会,是对人类的人生感悟的哲学注解。中国人祖先的哲学论断是“近看自己,远观他人”。要理解中华民族民间艺术的原始艺术,这一结论必不可少。人类的本能欲望是生存并通过繁衍(propagation)继续存在。人生来的首要本能是求生,然后是长寿。从原始社会到今天,阴阳和永生的观念始终贯穿中国的社会生活和民族文化。中国民间艺术反映了社会的所有基本哲学理念。

3.象棋(Chinese chess)两人玩的棋盘游戏,源于春秋战国时期的军事战略。早期的象棋由三部分组成:棋子、骰(dice)和棋盘。现代象棋没有骰子,它在棋子和棋盘方面与古代不同。棋盘有9行宽、10行长,共90个交叉点,构成方形网格(grid)。棋子在交叉点上落子或移动。对弈者在棋盘进行象征性的军很战争,部署马匹、战车,根据自己对棋局和游戏规则的理解组织军队。目前,中国象棋已传至全世界,进一步传承、发扬中国传统文化。

4.围棋是两位对弈者之间战略性的棋盘游戏(board game)。围棋已有3000多年的历史,可以说是所有古代棋类游戏的起源。围棋的规则很简单,但是有数不尽的策略。这就是围棋的魅力所在。下一盘围棋的时间短至15分钟,长至数天。但是多数情况下,下一盘围棋需要一或两个小时。围棋是综合科学、艺术和竞赛的游戏。围棋对于智力发展、性格培养和灵活的策略学习非常有益。难怪围棋已经流行了几千年,并逐渐成为一项国际文化游戏。

5.杂技(acrobatics)是展现高超的平衡技巧和动作协调能力的表演。杂技常和广泛使用体操技能的活动相联系,比如马戏(circus)、体操,但许多其他运动,如武术、芭蕾和跳水也可能采用杂技元素。吴桥是中国众所周知的杂技之乡。据说吴桥的所有居民,从学步孩童到白发老人,都多少会点杂技。年轻人在工作间隙练习杂技。许多家庭都有独特的技艺代代相传。中国乃至世界都有很多来自吴桥的杂技演员。中国杂技界有句话叫做:没有吴桥人不成杂技班。

1.中国菜举世闻名,而菜名更是诙谐有趣,妙趣横生,充满中国人的智慧。很多菜名用字典雅瑰丽,充满吉祥喜庆之气,诸如把豆苗(bean seedling)比作“龙须”,鸡蛋美名“芙蓉(Confederate rose)”或“凤凰”,鸡爪称“凤爪”,豆腐(tofu)叫成“白玉”,等。不少菜名豪华气派,美不可言,有种汤叫“珍珠玛瑙(agate)翡翠汤”,只是豆腐、番茄加青菜。一些含有祝贺或象征吉祥的菜名,如竹笋炒排骨是“步步高升”。有些菜名采用的是成语,萝卜丝上放根红辣椒表示“踏雪寻梅”。

2.景德镇(Jingdezhen)位于江西省东北部,以瓷器而闻名,历来被誉为中国的“千年瓷都”。在景德镇出产的各类瓷器中,尤以青花瓷(blue and white porcelain)最为突出。清代是青花瓷的鼎盛时期,景德镇青花瓷以其烧造精致而独占鳌头。新中国成立后,在景德镇设立了人民瓷厂(People's Porcelain Factory)专门生产青花瓷。景德镇青花瓷造型优美,色彩绚丽,装饰精美,是景德镇四大传统名瓷之一,素有“永不凋谢的青花”之称。青花瓷远销世界各地,受到世界人民的喜爱。

3.脸谱(facial makeup)是指中国传统戏剧—京剧里男演员脸部的彩色化妆。它在色彩、形式和类型上有一定的格式。脸谱运用红色、黄色、白色、黑色、紫色、绿色和银色代表不同的人物性格。各角色的脸

谱由油漆、粉和油彩画成,基本形式是整脸、三块瓦脸(San Kuai Wa Lian)和碎脸。这些脸谱类型被广泛用于代表将军、官员、英雄、神灵和鬼魅。通过眼睛和鼻子周围形状各异的白色小块, 可以辨别出丑角(Chou actors)。有时这些小块以黑色勾勒,常称小花脸。

翻译:Facial makeup refers to the colorful painting on the face of the actors in Peking Opera, which is a traditional Chinese opera. It has certain format in terms of color,design and type. Red,yellow,white,black,purple,green and silver are the main colors used for facial makeup to represent different characters. The facial designs for the roles are made by painting, powdering and coloring in the basic forms of Zheng Lzan(keeping the basic face pattern),San Kuai Wa Lian(three-section face) and Sui Lian(fragmentary face).These types are widely used to represent generals,officials,heroes, gods and ghosts. The Chou (clown) actors can be recognized by the patch of white in various shapes painted around the eyes and nose. Sometimes these patches are outlined in black, often called Xiao Hua

Lian(partly painted face).

4.唐朝时期,人们就在昌南建造窑坊(kiln),烧制出一种青白瓷(bluish white porcelain)。青白瓷色彩晶莹,有“人造玉器”的美称,因而远近闻名,并大量出口欧洲。当时,欧洲人还不会制造瓷器,因此中国特别是昌南镇的瓷器很受欢迎。在欧洲,昌南镇瓷器是备受珍爱的贵重物品,人们以能获得一件昌南镇瓷器为荣。因此,欧洲人就以“昌南”作为瓷器和生产瓷器的“中国”的代称。久而久之,欧洲人就把昌南的本意忘却了,只记得它是“瓷器”,即“中国”了。

翻译:In the Tang Dynasty, people started to build kilns to make bluish white porcelain in Changnan. The bluish white porcelain was glittering and had the reputation of artificial jade, so it became famous home and abroad and was exported to Europe in large amount. At that time, Europeans were not able to make porcelain,so porcelain from China,especially from Changnan,was warmly welcomed. In Europe,porcelain from Changnan was luxurious article cherished by everyone, and obtaining even one piece of it would make people feel very proud. In this way,Europeans used Changnan as the code name for china (porcelain) and the place of its production,China. Gradually, Europeans forgot the original meaning of Changnan,only remembering it is “china”,namely“China”.

5.刺绣(embroidery)是中国艺术中一颗璀灿的明珠。从华丽的龙袍到今日的时装,刺绣为我们的文化和生活增添了许多乐趣。中国记载的最古老的刺绣可追溯至商朝。在当时,刺绣象征着社会地位。随着国民经济的发展,刺绣走进普通人的生活。对于足不出户的女子来说,刺绣是一种优雅的工作。想象一下,一位美丽的年轻女子在家刺绣:一针一线,她为爱人绣一对鸳鸯(mandarin duck)。寒冷的冬日,屋子里充满香气。多么美丽动人的画面啊!

1.中国是茶的故乡。唐代以前,中国茶叶通过陆路和水路出口,先是出口到日本和朝鲜,之后出口到印度和中亚。明清时期,出口到了阿拉伯半岛(Arabian Peninsula)。17世纪早期,中国茶叶出口到欧洲,自此,欧洲的上层阶级开始饮茶。中国文化渗透着茶的精神,全国有很多种茶叶、茶馆、茶的传说、茶工艺品和饮茶习俗。杭州西湖以产上等绿茶着称;在云南等中国西南省份,少数民族受外国文化影响较小,原始茶产地仍然保留着饮茶仪式和习俗。

翻译:China is the hometown of tea. Before the Tang Dynasty, Chinese tea was exported by land and sea,first to Japan and Korea, then to India and Central Asia,and in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, to the Arabian Peninsula. In the early period of the 17th century, Chinese tea was exported to Europe,where the upper class started to drink tea. Tea spirit permeates Chinese culture, and throughout the country there are many kinds of tea,teahouses, tea legends, tea artifacts and tea customs. The West

Lake in Hangzhou is famous for its excellent green tea; and provinces in southwest China like Yunnan where flie ethnic groups were less affected by foreign cultures still keep tea ceremonies and customs in original tea-growing areas.

2.汉字(Chinese characters)是世界上最古老的文字之一,也是使用者最多的文字。汉字多达6万个,但常用的基本汉字只有6000个左右。据权威专家估计,汉字有5000多年的历史,最初源于记录事情的图片。从古至今,从甲骨文(Jiaguwen) 到我们今天书写用的楷体(Kaiti),汉字的形式和结构发生了很大改变。历史上,汉字被朝鲜、日本、越南等国借鉴,因此也促进了国际交流。在现代,中国人民用各种方法将汉字输人电脑,进行信息处理。事实证明,汉字充满了生机与活力。

翻译:The Chinese characters are one of the oldest characters in the world, and are used by the most users. Chinese characters are up to 60,000, but only about 6,000 basic ones are often used. As authorities estimate, Chinese characters have a history of over 5,000 years, and they originate from pictures for keeping records. From ancient to modern times, the forms and structures of Chinese characters have changed much, evolving from Jiaguwen (oracle bone script), to Kaiti(regular script) we use now. In history, Chinese characters were borrowed by Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, thereby improving international communication. In modern times, Chinese people have by many means solved the problem of inputting Chinese characters into computers to serve information processing. It has been borne out that Chinese characters are full of vigor and vitality.

3.曲艺是指民谣、说书和相声等民间说唱艺术形式。作为中国古代的表演艺术,曲艺是不同表演类型的统称,表现形式为说、唱或二者兼有。作为独立的艺术,曲艺兴起于唐朝中期,繁荣于宋朝。曲艺深植于中国,分为三大类型、400个曲种。三大类型是:说书、说唱艺术、笑话。说书既可以只用语言,也可以配乐。北方最典型的无伴奏类型是评书(Pingshu)。笑话最重要的形式是相声。说唱艺术似乎听众最多。在口音或音乐方面,每种类型都有强烈的地方色彩。

翻译:Quyi refers to folk vocal art forms such as ballad singing, story-telling and crosstalk. As an ancient performing art in China, quyi is a general term that covers several different types of performances in which speech, singing or both are used. As an independent art, it was formed in the middle Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Song Dynasty. Deeply taking root in China, the art is divided into three styles and subdivided into 400 parts. The three major styles are story-telling, story-singing, and joke-telling. Story-telling can be either words only, or words with music. One of the most representative non-music styles in the North is called Pingshu. The most important form of joke-telling is crosstalk. Story-singing seems to have the largest audience. Each style has a strong local flavor in either its accent or music.

翻译:The 24 solar terms is a whole name of the system that consists of 12 major solar terms and 12 minor solar teims linked with each other. It reflects the climate change, guides agriculture arrangements and also affects people's life. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, people began to use solar terms as the supplementary calendar. It was in 104 B,C. that the 24 solar terms were finally set down. As we all know, China is a country with a long history of agriculture. Agricultural production is largely influenced by the laws of nature. In ancient times, farmers arranged their agricultural activities according to the move of : the sun. It is the fact that the 24 solar terms takes into account the position of the sun that makes us attach importance to it.

5.当来中国的游客发现一桌标准的8人晚宴有4道凉菜、4道热菜,并配以汤和米饭时,他们往往会感到惊讶。一桌标准的宴席(banquet)包括4~8道准备好的凉菜,8道热菜—每次只上1道热菜,以及2-4道观赏大菜(whole-sized showpiece dish)。同坐一张桌子的人互相敬酒时通常会“干杯(Gan Bei)”。“干杯”是指举起酒杯,将酒全部喝完,让玻璃杯或酒杯“连最后一滴也干了”。人们干杯时传递给别人的信息是:自己是真诚、快乐的。向主人敬酒时,国人更愿意接受的方式是喝一小口而不是喝干整杯。

翻译:Visitors to China are often surprised when a standard dinner for a table of eight people consists of four courses of cold dishes and four courses of hot dishes,coupled with soup and steamed rice. A standard banquet consists of four to eight prepared cold dishes, eight hot dishes served one at a time, and two to four whole-sized showpiece dishes. People at a table usually “Gan Bei" when toasti ng to each other. “Gan Bei” means to raise one's wine glass and drink it all the way down so that the glass or cup is “dried up to the last drop”. People drink up their wine to communicate the message to others that they are sincere and joyful. It is quite acceptable for a foreign guest to take a sip instead of emptying the glass when toasting to his or her host.

2020年英语翻译资格考试高级口译模拟试题(1)

2020年英语翻译资格考试高级口译模拟试题(1) Mass urbanization of the world’s population is an unprecedented trend worldwide. The most important reason why people are moving to cities is economic. People are moving to the cities because that’s where they can find jobs and earn money. Until the 20th century, the major source of employment, full and part-time, was farming. Now, according to recent statistics, no more than 15 percent of all jobs are connected to farming. Jobs now are being created in information technology, manufacturing and service areas, such as tourism and financing, and all of these new jobs are in or around major cities. 译文:世界人口大规模的城市化在世界范围内达到史无前例的规模。驱使人们持续涌向城市的最重要原因是经济因素。人们都涌向城 市是因为在城里能够找到工作和挣钱。在20世纪以前,就业的主要途径,不管是全职还是兼职,一直都是农耕。而现在,根据最近的统计 数据,只有不到15%的工作是和农业相关的。越来越多的工作产生于信息技术产业、制造业和服务行业,如旅游业和融资,而所有这些新兴 工作都在大城市及其周边地区。 评析:本题是高口热点话题“城市化”,在07年9月的高口NTGF 部分也涉及到过城市化的问题,前一题的句子翻译S2也提到了“人们 搬进大城市的原因,是追求高品质的生活”,而这里主要围绕工作展开。考查词汇都在大纲范围内,像urbanization, manufacturing等 都属于常见热词,考生在平时对这些词汇有所积累,翻译起来并不难。相对passage 2, 这段话稍微有点长,这也提醒考生注意平时多练习听写记笔记,熟悉常考话题,这样在考试时才能拿高分。

中国百家姓中英文对照And香港拼音

中国百家姓中英文对照And香港拼音 首先应该明确一下,中文姓氏是不存在标准的英文拼写的,因为中文汉字名不论有没有内在含义,一旦转入英文就完全变作拼音名了。也就是说完全根据中文名的读音来进行拼写。那么,之所以外界的拼写和我们不同,很大程度上是受到了汉字方言的影响,即:这种情况普遍出现在没有确立“中国汉语普通话”概念的区域里。 由于我们中国大陆已经确立“普通话”概念,所以大陆范围内无论什么方言,都统统以普通话读音为汉语规范读音,于是拼音体系也自然以普通话为标准。而相比之下,香港地区的官方语言是粤语,于是香港地区的拼音体系也自然是粤语音的描述。 例如:姓氏“陈” 普通话读音为:“Chen” 香港粤语读音为:“残”,于是根据这个读音,再结合英文字母的搭配发音习惯便拼写为“Chan”。 再比如:姓氏“刘” 普通话读音为:“Liu” 香港粤语读音贴近于“劳”,于是香港的“刘”姓便拼写为“Lau”。 所以,由此可以得知英文对于中文汉字的语音翻译非常直白,并没有深层追究的成分。 另外,目前各非英文地区都有一套自定的拼音体系,确保本地区公民姓名翻译成英文后依然有法律认证功能,我们中国大陆自然以汉语拼音为默认准绳。而香港;台湾;乃至朝鲜韩国也都有一套自定的拼音体系,只是他们都是以本地区语音为拼读发音基础。所以同一个汉字在不同区域拼写也不同。 比如:姓氏“金” 中国普通话汉语拼音:“Jin” 中国香港粤语拼音:“Kam” 中国台湾所谓国语通用拼写:“Chin” 中国汉字朝鲜语音拼写:“Kim”

此外还存在拼写为“King”的情况。 由此可见,同一个字的拼写如此多样,而之间不能相互取代,所以并不存在标准的拼写。 虽然各地区似乎都有完善的文字转换英文拼写的体系,但似乎都不能完全符合传统英文发音习惯。这也是东西方习惯的不可调和的矛盾,相比之下东方这些汉字根源地区更注重的是“体系”,而纯粹的英文国家则更倾向于“习惯”,所以双方并不能做到彼此完全吻合。比如:姓氏“宋” 中国大陆汉语拼音拼写为“Song” 中国台湾拼写以及香港拼写均为“Sung” 虽然“宋”字在以上三地的读音基本相同,而且各地区都以自身提起确立了对它的拼写,但如果依照英文的传统发音频度习惯,“Song”和“Sung”均不会正确发出“宋”的音来。中国百家姓(Hundres of Surnames in China)中英文对照 A: 艾--Ai 安--Ann/An 敖--Ao B: 巴--Pa 白--Pai 包/鲍--Paul/Pao 班--Pan 贝--Pei 毕--Pih 卞--Bein 卜/薄--Po/Pu 步--Poo 百里--Pai-li

英语翻译资格考试三级笔译真题

英语翻译资格考试三级笔译真题 为大家整理了2012下半年英语翻译资格考试三级笔译真题,仅供参考!! 英译汉: 已经按照考试的文章修改过原文了 For more than 30 years, I have been wondering about L.R. Generson. On one of our first Christmases together, my husband gave me a complete set of Dickens. There were 20 volumes, bound in gray cloth with black corners, old but in good condition. Stamped on the flyleaf of each volume, in faded block letters, was the name of the previous owner: L.R. Generson, M.D.,Bronx, NY. That Dickens set is one of the best presents anyone has ever given me. A couple of the books are still brand-new, but others - Bleak House, David Copperfield, and especially Great Expectations - have been read and re-read almost to pieces. Over the years, they have kept me company. And so, in his silent mysterious way, has L.R. Generson. Did he love the books as much as I do? Who was he? On a whim, I Googled him. There wasn’t much - a single mention on a veterans’website of a World War II named Leonard Generson. But I did find a Dr. Richard Generson, an oral surgeon living in New Jersey. Since Generson is not a common name, I decided to write to him. Dr. Generson was kind enough to write back. He told me that his father, Leonard Richard Generson, was born in 1909. He lived in New York City but went to medical school in Basel, Switzerland. He spoke 10 languages fluently.

11月英语翻译资格考试三级笔译真题回忆 1. 英译汉:文章来源为美国国务院网站,原文标题为:Beaverton: Oregon’s Most Diverse City Stroll through the farmers’market and you will hear a plethora of languages and see a rainbow of faces. Drive down Canyon Road and stop for halal meat or Filipino pork belly at adjacent markets. Along the highway, browse the aisles of a giant Asian supermarket stocking fresh napa cabbage and mizuna or fresh kimchi. Head toward downtown and you’ll see loncheras —taco trucks —on street corners and hear Spanish bandamusic. On the city’s northern edge, you can sample Indian chaat.

Best known as the world headquarters for athletic shoe company Nike, Beaverton has changed dramatically over the past 40 years. Settled by immigrants from northern Europe in the 19th century, today it is a place where 80 languages from Albanian to Urdu are spoken in the public schools and about 30 percent of students speak a language besides English, according to English as a Second Language program director Wei Wei Lou. Beaverton’s wave of new residents began arriving in the 1960s, with Koreans and Tejanos (Texans of Mexican origin), who were the first permanent Latinos. In 1960, Beaverton’s population of Latinos and Asians was less than 0.3 percent. By 2000, Beaverton had proportionately more Asian and Hispanic residents than the Portland metro area. Today, Asians comprise 10 percent and Hispanics 11 percent of
