Unit1

英译中(也是背诵段落)

1 .We all sensed we were coming to the end of our stay here, that we would never get a chance like this again, and we became determined not to waste it.

我们都觉得在校时间不多了,以后再也不会有这样的学习机会了,所以都下定决心不再虚度光阴。

Most important of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year.

当然,下一年四五月份的期末考试最为重要。

No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to work hard was strong.

我们谁都不想考全班倒数第一,那也太丢人了,因此同学们之间的竞争压力特别大。

Libraries which were once empty after five o’clock in the afternoon were standing room only until the early hours of the morning.

以前每天下午五点以后,图书馆就空无一人了,现在却要等到天快亮时才会有空座。

Guys wore the bags under their eyes and their pale, sleepy faces with pride, like medals proving their diligence.

小伙子们熬夜熬出了眼袋,他们脸色苍白,睡眼惺忪,却很自豪,好像这些都是表彰他们勤奋好学的奖章。

2 Tomorrow? It’s all a lie; there isn’t a tomorrow. There’s only a promissory note that we are often not in a position to cash.It doesn’t even exist. (promissory note:期票)

明天行吗?明天只是个谎言;根本就没有什么明天,只有一张我们常常无法兑现的期票。明天甚至压根儿就不存在。

When you wake up in the morning it’ll be today again and all the same rules will apply.

你早上醒来时又是另一个今天了,同样的规则又可以全部套用。Tomorrow is just another version of now, an empty field that will remain so unless we start planting some seeds.

明天只是现在的另一种说法,是一块空地,除非我们开始在那里播种,否则它永远都是空地。

Your time, which is ticking away as we speak, will be gone and you’ll have nothing to show for it but regret and a rear-view mirror full of “could haves”, “should haves” and“would haves”.

你的时间会流逝,而你没有取得任何成就来证明它的存在,唯独留下遗憾,留下一面后视镜,上面写满了“本可以做”、“本应该做”、“本来会做”的事情。

中译英

1、(map out; brace oneself for; uncertainty)

对于是否应该在大学期间详细规划自己的未来,学生们意见不一。Students differ about whether they should have their future mapped out when they are still at university.

有的人认为对未来应该有一个明确的目标和详细的计划,为日后可能遇到的挑战做好充分的准备。

Some think they should have a definite goal and detailed plan, so as to brace themselves for any challenges. (brace for准备接受)

有的人则认为不用过多考虑未来,因为未来难以预料。

W hereas some others think they don’t have to th ink much about the future, because future is full of uncertainties.

2 (tick away; make the best of; have a shot at)

经过仔细检查,这位科学家得知自己患了绝症。

After a very careful check-up, the scientist was told he had got a fatal disease.(fatal disease: 绝症)

虽然知道自己将不久于人世,他并没有抱怨命运的不公,而是准备好好利用剩下的日子。

Although he knew that his life was ticking away, instead of complaining about the fate, the scientist decided to make the best of the remaining days.

争取加速推进由他和同事们共同发起的那个研究项目,以提前结项。

Speed up the research project he and his colleagues initiated, and have a shot at completing it ahead of schedule. (initiate发起)

Unit2

英译中

1 My flying dreams were believable as a landscape by Dali, so real that I would awake with a sudden shock, a breathless sense of having tumbled like Icarus from the sky and caught myself on the soft bed just in time. 我的飞行梦像达利的风景画那么真实可信,以致于自己常常会在一阵惊吓中醒来,好像伊卡罗斯那样从空中摔下来,虽然发现自己刚好掉到软软的床上,但也被吓得喘不过气来。

These nightly adventures in space began when Superman started invading my dreams and teaching me how to fly.

当超人开始侵入我的梦乡,并教给我飞行的技巧之后,我每夜的太空冒险便开始了。

He used to come roaring by in his shining blue suit with his cape whistling in the wind, looking remarkably like my Uncle Frank who was living with mother and me. (cape: 斗篷)

超人身着耀眼的蓝色衣服,肩披随风飕飕作响的斗篷,经常从我身边呼啸而过。他长得太像我的舅舅弗兰克了,舅舅那会儿正跟妈妈和我住在一起。

In the magic whirling of his cape I could hear the wings of a hundred seagulls, the motors of a thousand planes. (whirl: 旋转 seagull: 海鸥motor: 马达 )

当超人的斗篷神奇地旋转时,我好像能听见上百只海鸥的振翅声,上千架飞机的马达轰鸣声。

2 In contrast, children on the Pacific island of Tonga, studied by Helen Morton, are regularly beaten by their parents and older siblings. (sibling: 兄弟姐妹)

相反,根据海伦·莫顿的研究,太平洋岛国汤加的儿童经常挨父母和哥哥姐姐的打。

They are seen as being closer to mad people than adults because they lack the highly prized quality of social competence.

人们认为儿童和成年人相比更像疯子,因为他们缺乏被大家看重的社会能力。

They are regularly told off for being clumsy and a child who falls over may be laughed at, shouted at, or beaten.

小孩子经常因为笨手笨脚而挨骂,他们连摔跤都会被嘲笑、呵斥,甚至被打。

Children are thought of as mischievous; they cry or want to feed simply because they are naughty. (mischievous: 淘气)

人们认为儿童很顽皮,都是因为淘气他们才哭闹,或者要东西吃。Beatings are at their most severe between the ages of three and five when children are seen as particularly wilful. (wilful: 任性的)

在大人看来,三至五岁的儿童尤其任性,因此他们打这个年龄段的孩子也打得最狠。

Parents believe that social competence can only be achieved through discipline and physical punishment, and treat their children in ways that have seemed very harsh to outsiders. (discipline: 训导 harsh: 严厉)

父母们相信,只有靠训导和体罚才能使孩子获得社会能力,所以他们用一种在外人看来非常严厉的方式对待孩子。

中译英

在火车站上,有一位老人给我讲述了他参加解放战争的经历,那些战斗故事对我有着极大的吸引力。

At the railway station, an old man told me his experience in the Liberation War, the fighting stories of which were of great fascination to me.

后来他上了车,列车从我身边隆隆地开走了。可那些故事仍然是那么清晰可见,对于英雄们的壮举,我钦佩不已。

Then he got up on the train and it roared past me. But the stories were so real and definite that I greatly marveled at the courageous deeds of those war heroes。(courageous:勇敢的 marvel at:惊叹)

2 (consumption; impose; take exception to; prompt)

行之有效的环保政策不仅能创造良好的生态环境,还能大大降低能源消耗。

Effective environmental policy might bring about a good environment, as well as reducing energy consumption.

《英汉互译(一)》第一讲翻译简论与主要翻译方法 (A Brief Discussion of Translation and Major Translation Approaches) 1. Introduction Translation studies started along with translation practice. Translation theories developed flourishingly in the 20th century, especially in the second half of the last century. In fact, translation, which is a very complex phenomenon, is related to different disciplines, such as linguistics, psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology, communication theory, literary criticism, aesthetics, and semiotics. As translation study is a cross-discipline and cross-culture subject involving many aspects of human knowledge, the lack of a fully acceptable theory of translation should not come as a surprise. Meanwhile, quite a number of translation approaches and strategies have become universally acceptable and widely applicable. They are, of course, the fruits of many translation theorists and translation practitioners at home and abroad. 2.The Origin of Translation Language makes it possible for people to communicate with one another freely so as to complete important tasks in human life. Translation makes it possible for people from different languages to communicate with one another so as to complete important tasks in their life. Theodore Savory points out, “Translation is almost as old as original authorship and has a history as honorable and as complex as that of any other branch of literature”(申雨平, 2002:4). In Zhou Dynasty there were different forms of address for translators in different places. “Translators are called Ji in the east, Xiang in the south, Didi in the west, and

为自己而写 从孩提时代,我还住在贝尔维尔时,我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头,但直等到我高中三年级,这—一想法才有了实现的可能。在这之前,我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作,老师读着受累,我写着痛苦。 弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时,我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。据说他拘谨刻板,完全落后于时代。我看他有六七十岁了,古板之极。他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜,微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐,梳得纹丝不乱。他身穿古板的套装,白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。他救着古板的尖下巴,古板的直鼻梁,说起话来—·本正经,字斟句酌,彬彬有礼,活脱脱一个橱稽的老古董。 我作好准备,打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上—·年,不少日子过去了,还真率出所料。后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸,出了不少题供我们选择。像“暑假二三事”那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有,但绝大多数—样乏味。我把作文题带回家,——直没写,直到要交作业的前一天晚上。我躺在沙发上,最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课,便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗—看。我的目光落在“吃意大利细面条的艺术”这个题目上。… 这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来,当时,我们大家——起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过,在座的大人也是经验不足,没有—个吃起来得心应手的。艾伦舅舅家诙谐有趣的场景全都重现在我的脑海中,我回想起来,当晚我们笑作—团,争论着该如何地把面条从盘子上送到嘴里才算合乎礼仪。 突然我就想描述那…切,描述当时那种温馨美好的气氛,但我把它写下来仅仅是想白得其乐,而不是为弗利格尔先生而写。那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一个时刻。我想重温那个夜晚的愉快。然而,照我希望的那样去写,就会违反我在学校里学的正式作文的种种法则弗利格尔先生也肯定会打它—个不及格。没关系。等我为自己写好了之后,我可以再为弗利格尔先生写点什么别的东西。 等我写完时已是半夜时分,再没时间为弗利格尔先生写——篇循规蹈矩、像模像样的文章了。第二天上午,我别无选择,只好把我为自己而写的贝尔维尔晚餐的故事交了上去。两天后弗利格尔先生发还批改过的作文,他把别人的都发了,·就是没有我的。我正准备着遵命—放学就去弗利格尔先生那儿挨训,却看见他从桌上拿起我的作文,敲了敲桌子让大家注意听。 “好了,孩子们,”他说。“我要给你们念一篇小品文。文章的题目是:吃意大利细面条的艺术。” 于是他开始念了。是我写的!他给全班大声念我写的文章。更不可思议的是,全班同学都在听着他念,而且听得很专心。有人笑出声来,接着全班都笑了,不是轻蔑嘲弄,而是乐乎乎地开怀大笑。就连弗利格尔先生也停顿了两三次,好抑制他那丝拘谨的微笑。我尽力不流露出得意的心情,但是看到我写的文章竟然能使别人大笑,我真是心花怒放。就在十——年级,可谓是最后的时刻,我找到了一个今生想做的事。这是我整个求学生涯中最幸福的——刻。弗利格尔先生念完后说道:“瞧,孩子们,这就是小品文,懂了没有。这才是一知道吗——这才是小品文的精髓,知道了没有。祝贺你,贝克先生。”他这番话使我沉浸 在十全十美的幸福之中

南京艺术学院第二册英语课文翻译(1~10) 第一单元 你去过古玩店吗?如果你能像买家那样博学,你就有可能买到不同凡响但又很便宜的东西。 幸运的发现 古玩店对许多人来说有一种特殊的魅力。高档一点的古玩店为了防尘,把文物漂亮地陈列在玻璃柜子里,那里往往令人望而却步。而对不太装腔作势的古玩店,无论是谁都不用壮着胆子才敢往里进。人们还常常有希望在发霉,阴暗,杂乱无章,迷宫般的店堂里,从杂乱地摆放在地面上的,一堆堆各式各样的破烂货里找到一件稀世珍品。 无论是谁都不会一下子就发现一件珍品。一个到处找便宜货买的人必须具有耐心,而且最重要的是看到珍品时要有鉴别珍品的能力。要做到这一点,他至少要像古董商一样懂行。他必须像一个专心致志进行探索的科学家一样抱有这样的希望,即终有一天,他的努力会取得丰硕的成果。 我的老朋友弗兰克哈利戴正是这样一个人。他多次向我详细讲他如何只花50英镑便买到一位名家的杰作。一个星期六的上午,弗兰克去了我家附近的一家古玩店。由于他从未去过那儿,结果他发现了许多有趣的东西。上午很快过去了,弗兰克正准备离去,突然看见地板上放着一只体积很大的货箱。古董商告诉他那只货箱刚到不久,但他嫌麻烦不想把它打开。经弗兰克恳求,古董商才勉强把货箱撬开了。箱内东西令人失望。除了一柄式样别致、雕有花纹的匕首外,货箱内装满了陶器,而且大部分都已破碎。弗兰克轻轻地把陶器拿出箱子,突然发现在箱底有一幅微型画,画面构图与线条使他想起了一幅他所熟悉的意大利画,于是他决定将画买下来。古董商漫不经心看了一眼那幅画,告诉弗兰克那画值50英镑。弗兰克几乎无法掩饰自己兴奋的心情,因为他明白自己发现了一件珍品。那幅不大的画原来是柯勒乔的一幅未被发现的杰作,价值几十万英镑。 第二单元 无论是男人、女人还是儿童,都可以从他们的衣着和外表的其他方面感受到时尚的影响。 时装流行的原理 时尚一直在变化和发展。时尚的五条基本原理是识别时尚及其流行趋势的基础。这些时尚原理保持不变。尽管时尚在变,但是这些原理却不变。他们是识别和预测时尚流行趋势的坚实基础。时尚流行的基本原理包括以下几条: 1.时尚的流行一般采取渐进的方式,很少采取突变的方式。时尚通常从一种风格逐渐地向另一种风格进化,是进化式的,而不是快速地变化。这一点经常可以从女裙长度的变化中得到体现。在一个季节中人们不希望裙子的长度有较大的变化。一般裙长要在几个季节甚至几年时间里缓慢地增加或减少。在20世纪50年代后期以及以后的10年里,裙子的长度开始以每年约1英寸的速度缩短,直至变成20世纪60年代后期的超短式样。在整个70年代,裙子的长度又逐渐增加。 2.消费者创造时尚。是消费者通过接受一种款式而抛弃另一种款式来决定流行的时尚,而不是设计师或制造商。尽管设计师、制造商、销售商可以促进或减缓新时尚的流行,但最终对时尚的接受与否还要取决于消费者。 3.价格不会影响时尚的流行。时尚的流行与否并不取决于价格。尽管一个新款式推出的价格会很高,但很快会有各种价格变化。一件向设计师定做的服装售价可能会高达几千美元,但是一旦此款式被仿制并以成衣批量生产,就会出现不同的价格以适合不同层次消费者的要
