【英译中选段六】原文(by Robert Frost)

The Gift Outright

The land was once ours before we were the land’s.

She was our land more than a hundred years.

Before we were her people. She was ours

In Massachusetts, in Virginia;

But we were England’s, still colonials,

Possessing what we still were unpossessed by,

Possessed by what we now no more possessed.

Something we were withholding made us weak

Until we found out that it was ourselves

We were withholding from our land of living,

And forthwith found salvation in surrender.

Such as we were we gave ourselves outright

(The deed of gift was many deeds of war)

To the land vaguely realizing westward,

But still unstoried, artless, unenhanced,

Such as she was, such as she would become.

(原载)

译文(余光中译):

全心的奉献

土地先属于我们,我们才属于土地。

她成为我们的土地历一百余年,

我们才成为她的人民。当时

她属于我们,在麻萨诸塞,在佛吉尼亚,

但我们属于英国,仍是殖民之身,

我们拥有的,我们仍漠不关心,

我们关心的,我们已不再拥有。

我们保留的一些什么使自己贫弱,

直到我们发现,原来是我们自己,

保留着,不肯给自己生息之地,

立刻,在献身之中找到了生机。

赤裸裸地,我们全心将自己奉献,

(献身的事迹是多次的战迹)

献身与斯土,斯土正浑沦拓展,向西,

但迄未经人述说,朴实无华,未加渲染。

当时她如此,且预示她仍将如是。

(原载《余光中选集第五卷:译品集》,黄维樑、江弱水编选,安徽教育出版社,1999)【英译中选段七】

原文(by Fancis Bacon)

Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of

business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humour of a scholar.

译文(王佐良译):

读书足以怡情,足以傅彩,足以长才。其怡情也,最见于独处幽居之时;其傅彩也,最见于高谈阔论之中;其长才也,最见于处世判事之际。练达之士虽能分别处理细事或一一判别枝节,然纵观统筹、全局策划,则舍好学深思者莫属。读书费时过多易惰,文采藻饰太盛则矫,全凭条文断事乃学究故态。

【英译中选段一】

原文:

Happily lived Mankind in the peaceful Valley of Ignorance.

To the north, to the south, to the west and to the east stretched the ridges of the Hills Everlasting.

A little stream of Knowledge trickled slowly through a deep worn gully.

It came out of the Mountain of the Past.

It lost itself in the Marshes of the Future.

It was not much, as rivers go. But it was enough for the humble needs of the villagers.

In the evening, when they had watered their cattle and had filled their casks, they were content to sit down to enjoy life.

The Old Men Who Knew were brought forth from the shady corners where they had spent their day, pondering over the mysterious pages of an old book.

They mumbled strange words to their grandchildren, who would have preferred to play with the pretty pebbles, brought down from distant lands.

译文:

在宁静的无知之谷中,人类快乐地生活着。

永恒之山向四面八方延伸。

一条知识小溪从深壑幽谷中缓缓流过。

它从往昔的山脉中流来。

它消失在未来的沼泽中。

溪水不大,不及河水滚滚,但它足以应付村民们那微薄的需求了。

晚上,当他们饮罢牲口、灌满水桶之后,就坐下来心满意足地享受生活。

见多识广的老人们从阴冷的角落里出来了。整个白天他们都呆在那里,对着一本古书上的神秘文字沉思。

他们嘴里嘟哝着奇怪的话语,对着孙儿们喋喋不休。而孙儿们更愿意把玩那些从遥远的异乡带回的美丽小石子。

原文:(by Francis Bret Hart)

But the faith of the majority proved to be securely based. Bill had scarcely ceased growling before we heard a quick step upon the porch, the trailing of a wet skirt, the door was flung open, and with flash of white teeth, a sparkle of dark eyes, and an utter absence of ceremony of diffidence, a

全国翻译资格水平考试英译汉注意的问题

全国翻译资格(水平)考试英译汉方面应重视的问题 陈炳发全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语专家委员会委员 有幸多次参与国家人事部组织、外文局实施并管理的全国翻译资格(水平)考试的阅卷、质检工作,我发现,一些考生翻译水平还是不错的,但对于翻译的基本常识缺乏了解,不知道如何规范地处理数字、人名、地名、机构名、缩略语以及其他问题,因而或多或少地影响了个人的成绩。以下是我收集整理的一些考试中常见的“雷区”,可能对考生提高考试成绩有所助益。 一、数字 关于数字用法的问题,国家主管部门已有具体规定,各翻译出版机构以及一些国际组织也有自己的专门规定。有志于从事翻译职业的人应该对这些有起码的了解。 一般的规定是,对于纯粹属于计量或统计范畴的数值,无论原文是否使用阿拉伯数字,译文一般用阿拉伯数字。例如:原文“654,321,000”,译文中照抄“654,321,000”即可;不能译为6亿5千4百32万1千。原文“fifty million”,可译为“5 000万”;不能译为“五十百万”,或“50百万”。对于万以上数字,中文一般以“万”和“亿”为单位;原文“half a billion”,可译为“5亿”。原文“five trucks”,可译为“5辆卡车”;原文“3-4 percent”,可译为“3%-4%”;原文“five percentage points”,可译为“5个百分点”。 原文用英文数字或罗马数字表示的,除纯粹属于计量或统计范畴的数值的情况外,译文用汉字。例如:原文“Chapter II”,可译为“第二章”,不能译为“第2章”;原文“Committee of Twenty-four”,可译为“二十四国委员会”,不能译为“24国委员会”;原文“Sixty-fourth Session”,可译为“第六十四届会议”,不能译为“第64届会议”。 在原文中,数字如作为词素构成固定的词、词组、惯用语、缩略语、具有修辞色彩的语句,以及邻近两个数字连用表示概数的情况,则译文中可使用汉字;整数一至十,如果不是出现在具有统计意义的一组数字中,可以用汉字,但要照顾到上下文,以便求得局部体例上的一致。例如:原文“quarter”,应译为“四分之一”;原文“three to four people”,则译为“三四人”;原文“Third World”,可译为“第三世界”;原文“several thousand people”,则

短文翻译答案版

英译汉短文翻译 1. Job security is extremely hard to come by these days, no matter what profession you choose. It isn't enough to pursue a field with perceived stability, say the experts. You'll want to find something you feel passionate about, can make a living doing and that involves using skills you can easily apply to other fields. 在当前的经济形势下,无论你从事何种职业,就业稳定都很难找到稳定的就业机会。专家们表示,光是追求预计能够带来稳定就业的领域是不够的。你希望追求的方向应该是你所热爱的、能够借以维持生计的职业,并且能够运用到一些你可以轻松转换到其它领域的技能。 2. Love plays a pivotal role on out life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better. 爱在生活之外扮演了一个关键的角色。爱使你想要得到些什么。没有爱,一个人将走向不归路,变得凶暴、残忍。在我们最初的人生道路上,我们的父母给予了我们无条件的关爱,他们教会我们判断正确与错误、好与坏。然而我们常常把这想当然了,只有等到我们结了婚并且有了孩子之后,一个人才会懂得并注意别人的感受。孩子让我们变得富有责任心、变得成熟稳重,并且更好的理解人生 3. When companies have different employees on the same job and one of them is paid differently, many unfairness issues surface. "It can happen in any 'open shop' that differentiates pay for any reason (seniority, performance, etc.)," says Dauphinais. You could run the risk of alienating valued colleagues if they learn you earn more for what they perceive to be the same job. 公司雇佣不同的人员从事同一岗位的工作时,如果其中有个人的薪资不同时,很多不公平的问题就会浮出水面。Dauphinais 说:“这种情况在任何开放行业都有可能发生,因为不同的原因(资历,表现等)员工的薪酬不同”。如果你让同事知道你们在做相同的工作,而你的工资比他们高,那么你就可能会被你很重视的同事疏远。 4. Spouses are a bigger source of stress than bosses, research shows. There may be no place like home, but if you want to relax then you might be better off at work, according to the survey.

翻译实践心得体会

笔译实践 院系名称:外语学院 专业年级:英语f1101 姓名:王欢 学号:201119010209 心得体会 在做这次笔译实践题目之前,关于笔译我是完全不了解的。在我的感觉中笔译相对于口 译而言应该算是比较简单的,但是在做完全部题目之后我就彻底改变了原有的这种认知,原 来看起来简单的事情并不定就像表象上呈现出的那样容易做到。表面看来笔译能够看着文本 逐字逐句翻译,貌似很简单,只要把文本内容真实的翻译出来就可以达到要求了。实际上则 不然。这学期我们有一门专业课就是关于英汉翻译的。课堂上老师曾经讲述过关于翻译的历 史、理论、要求等一系列相关知识,所以在简单翻阅这次翻译之后,我觉得看似简单的题目 确实需要投入大量的精力才能较好地完成任务。在翻译过程中我发觉自己存在以下几点问题: 1、对某些专业术语了解甚少。例如第一篇the high-tech student中出现的gopher program,generic2 database,moby dick,等等,类似这样的词汇我就需要上网查阅相关资 料才能进而推测了解作者想要借此来表达怎样的意思。再如a roller-coaster ride in the stock market中,关于股市的一些专用名词,dow and nasdaq,cnbc等也是这样。 2、对统计数字的描述能力较差。如何用不同的描述性词汇来体现数字的增长和下降及其 各自升降的幅度,如何准确把握那些不同用词之间细微的差别,较好地描述数字变化,这对 我来说是比较困难的。此次翻译题目中出现的仅仅只是一些已经被数字化的统计数据,但是 要用合适的词汇来体现尚且不简单,倘若是给出bar chart, pie chart, line chart等这一 类图标来自行描述其内容,就会更加困难了。题目中出现数字最多的莫过于描述汶川大地震 的这一部分了。各种数字,表示年月的,表示伤亡人数、经济损失的,以及各个地区经济损 失所占的不同比例,这对我来说无疑是亟待加强训练的部分。 3、关于某些长句翻译起来较困难。长句出现最多的就是最后一篇题目描述"我"的文本。 这片文章涉及不同领域大家的杰出作品及其艺术特色,各式各类的建筑,建筑中体现出的精 湛的技巧,还有各种被写入经典的景物,所有的描写都交织在一起,翻译起来很容易找不到 方便。摸不清头绪,到底哪里才是开始,应该如何结束。在翻译课上老师曾经说过长句的翻 译技巧,要先根据谓语动词进行切分,之后再根据逻辑顺序进行重新组合,之后才能慢慢进 行翻译,听起来就很繁琐的程序。我一直在试着这样做,却发现这要求太难达到了,而且每 次被提问翻译总是被说翻译的一塌糊涂。关于长句,我可能还要经历一段很艰难的路程。 虽然完成所有题目有点困难,但是我觉得收获还是很不小的。这是第一次这么耐心的昨 晚这么多翻译题目,最大的感触就是那些翻译工作者们真的是好辛苦,之前还以为翻译是我 们英语专业发展的目标。事实上也是,但是这项工作并不是所有人都能胜任的,这也是我的 真实感触之一。总结一下,收获可以归纳为以下几点: 1、一定程度上开阔了知识面,提高了自己的专业能力。虽然这次实践题目只有几个,但 是各个题目都具有的一定的代表性。这些题目涉及科技、经济、文学、报道等各种题材的不 同内容,对于我们这样的初学者算是一个挑战但是同时也是一个很好的锻炼自己的机遇。初 次涉猎翻译领域就得到这样的锻炼,既让我们看到了自己的不足之处,又给自己之前的知识 积淀找到了一个合适的展现平台,对于一个语言学习者无疑是一次很好的机会。 2、增加了对专业的认知。在刚入学的时候每每都被别人问到你们英语专业出来 的是不是只能做翻译,这句话给我的最初印象就是英语翻译既然这么容易做,那我学这 个专业不就一点竞争力都没有了,可是自己亲身时间之后才知道翻译并不是每个人都能做来 的,只要好好学专业,任何专业都是好专业。与其抱怨,不如从现在开始就好好努力,这样

英译汉段落翻译1

Paradox of Our Times We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and lie too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years. We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrow viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space. We’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication. We are long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationship. More leisure and less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition; two incomes but more divorce; fancier houses, but broken homes.

《英译汉教程》(连淑能主编,高等教育出版社)-第10~12章【圣才出品】

第10章Division(拆译法) 10.1 复习笔记 In division, we have to determine where to divide, how to divide, what the subject or the predicate of the new clause or sentence should be, and how to rearrange various parts of the original sentence. These may involve such techniques as Conversion, Addition and Inversion. 拆分时要注意以下问题:在哪里拆分,怎样拆分,新的从句或句子的主语、谓语分别是什么,以及如何重新组织这些部分。这里涉及到的技巧有转换法、增补法和倒置法。 一、Picking Out of Words(拆译单词) It is advisable to pick out those words which are hard to reproduce in the original structure and expand them into Chinese word groups, clauses or sentences. There are usually three steps to deal with such words: 翻译过程中,如果一个单词的意义很难用汉语在原有句法框架下表达出来,就可以把该单词抽取出来,并将其扩展为汉语词组、从句或句子。具体操作步骤如下: 1. Determine which word(s) to pick out; 确定需要抽取出来的单词; 2. Apply Conversion or Addition, if necessary, to make the translated version smooth and well-connected; 必要时运用转换法或增补法,使译文流畅、通顺;

英译汉常见问题汇总

英译汉常见问题汇总 英译汉,不论是在教学的过程中还是在实际翻译的过程当中,不少人只求译文的“忠实、通顺”而忽视译文的“雅”。那么,忠实通顺的译文是否就是地道的、自然的、合乎汉语习惯的译文呢?以下是小编给大家整理的英译汉常见问题汇总,希望可以帮到大家 1.结构不合理,句子不自然 (1) There will come a day when people the world over will live a happy life under the sun of socialism. 全世界人民在社会主义阳光下过幸福生活的一天是会到来的。 译文主语的定语长,使得整个句子头重脚轻。试译为:全世界人将在社会主义的阳光下过幸福的生活,这一天是一定会来到的。 (2)The sun, which had hidden all day,now came out in all its splendor. 那个整天躲在云层里的太阳,现在又光芒四射地露面了。 原文里的定语从句,是补叙性的,译成汉语,不一定放在被修饰名词之前。原文没有“又”这个意思,应去掉。试译为:太阳一整天都躲在云里,现在出来了,光芒四射。 (3)I had experienced oxygen and/or engine trouble. 我曾碰到过,不是氧气设备出故障,就是引擎出故障,或二者都出故障。 “我曾碰到过”,句子突然中止,好象无宾语,但实际上宾语却是很长的三个分句,这不合乎汉语表达习惯。可在“碰到过”后加上“这种现象”或将宾语提前。试译为:不是氧气设备出故障,就是引擎出故障,或者它们都出故障,这些我都碰到过。 (4)Captured documents which we have obtained from individuals who had been infiltrated through this corridor plus prisoner-of-war reports that we have obtained in recent months led us to believe that the volume of infiltration has expanded substantially. 我们从经由这个走廊进来的人身上缴获的文件,加上近几个月从战俘那里得到的口供,使人们相信,渗透的规模确实扩大了。

英译汉练习短文6篇

英译汉练习短文6篇· Passage 1 Satiric Literature1 Perhaps the most striking quality of satiric literature is its freshness, its originality of perspective. Satire rarely offers original ideas. Instead, it presents the familiar in a new form. Satirists do not offer the world new philosophies. What they do is look at familiar conditions from a perspective that makes these conditions seem foolish, harmful, or affected. Satire jars us out of complacence into a pleasantly shocked realization that many of the values we unquestioningly accept are false. Don Quixote makes chivalry seem absurd; Brave New World ridicules the pretensions of science; A Modest Proposal dramatizes starvation by advocating cannibalism. None of these ideas is original. Chivalry was suspected before Cervantes2, humanists objected to the claims of pure science before Aldous Huxley3, and people were aware of famine before Swift4. It was not the originality of the idea that made these satires popular. It was the manner of expression,the satiric method, that made them interesting and entertaining. Satires are read because they are aesthetically satisfying works of art, not because they are

专八英译汉段落翻译完整版 中英文对照

My First Job When I reached the age of twelve I left the school for ever and got my first fulltime job, as a grocer’s boy. I spent my days carrying heavy loads, but I enjoyed it. It was only my capacity for hard work that saved me from early dismissal, for I could never stomach speaking to my “betters” with the deference my employer thought I should assume. But the limit was reached one Tuesday — my half holiday. On my way home on that day I used to carry a large basket of provisions to the home of my emplo yer’s sister-in-law. As her house was on my way home I never objected to this. On this particular Tuesday, however, just as we were putting the shutters up, a load of smoked hams was delivered at the shop. “Wait a minute,” said the boss, and he opened the load and took out a ham, which he started to bone and string up. I waited in growing impatience to get on my way, not for one minute but for a quite a considerable time. It was nearly half-past two when the boss finished. He then came to me with the ham, put it in the basket beside me, and instructed me to deliver it to a customer who had it on order. This meant going a long way out of my road home, so I looked up and said to the boss: “Do you know I finish at two on Tuesday?” I have never seen a man look m ore astonished than he did then. “What do you mean?” he gasped. I told him I meant that I would deliver the groceries as usual, but not the ham. He looked at me as if I were some unusual kind f insect and burst into a storm of abuse. But I stood firm. He gave me up as hopeless and tried new tactics. “Go out and get another boy,” he yelled at a shop-assistant. “Are you going to deliver them or not?” the boss turned to me and asked in a threatening tone. I repeated what I had said before. “Then, out of here,” he shouted. So I got out. This was the first time I had serious trouble with an employer.

英译汉历年真题全文翻译 1994年真题参考译文 新学派科学家们认为,在扩大科学知识范围的过程中,技术是一股被忽视了的力量(71)他们认为,科学之所以向前发展,与其说是因为天才伟人的真知灼见,还不如说是因为像改进了的技术和工具之类更为普遍的东西。(72)一位新学派的领袖人物坚持说,简言之,所谓的科学革命主要是指一系列工具的改进、发明和使用;这一系列工具的改进、发明和使用在无数个方面拓展了科学的领域。(73)多年来,工具和技术本身作为根本性革新的源泉在很大程度上被历史学家和思想家们所忽视了。肯定技术的现代派认为,诸如伽利略、牛顿、麦克斯韦、爱因斯坦这样的著名科学大师以及像爱迪生这样的发明家都十分重视各种不同的、可用于科学实验的工艺信息和技术装臵并从中获益匪浅,提倡肯定技术、

否定天才的论点之核心是对伽利略在科学革命的初期所起作用的分析。当时人们对天体的认识源于公元二世纪时的天文学家托勒密。他认为,在复杂的天体系统中所有的天体都围绕着地球运动。(74)伽利略最伟大的成就在于,在l 609年他是第一个用新发明的望远镜来观察天空的人,以证实行星是围绕太阳旋转而不是围绕地球旋转的。但故事中真正的英雄,新学派科学家们认为,是改进制作眼镜的机器的漫长过程。 联邦政府的政策不可避免地卷入了这场?技术?对?天才?之争。(75)政府是应该以牺牲技术作为代价来增加对纯理论科学的经费投入,还是相反,这常常取决于人们把哪一个看作驱动力量。 1995年真题参考译文

英语翻译心得体会3篇

英语翻译心得体会3篇 英语翻译心得体会一:英语翻译心得体会最初时,翻译只是我在学校中的一门课程,而现如今它已经是我的职业了。因此首先我应该一如既往地,甚至应该更加热爱这份工作。只有以饱满的热情对待它,才有可能在专业上不断进步。 说到技能,翻译是一项专业性很强的工作。笔译是锻炼一个人语言功底很好的方法,同时也是做好口译的重要基础。从口译的角度说,如果语言文字有了比较坚实的基础,接下来我认为表达和思维就至关重要。 练表达,一个好的方法就是视译。同事给了我一些材料,这些都是非常有针对性的材料,因此可以使得练习变得很有效率。在拿到材料以后应该调整好状态,想象自己就在翻译的现场,给自己造成一定的压力。看到材料中的中文后,争取在最短的时间内用最流利的语言表达出来。如果有哪些词或句说得不通顺或者结构不好,就可以记在笔记本上,之后可以向他人请教或者自己进行查找。通过反复的训练,在表达方面便有可能取得较为明显的进步。 练思维,在英译中时,听力是基础,首先作为译员,自己必须明白对方所要表达的内容。有了这个前提,接下来便是思考如何用精练的句子传达出来,这对思维有着很高的要求。单单只是听懂是远远不够的,因为口译译员是一座沟通的桥梁,所以译员的表达应该是工整的,让受众能够非常顺畅地理解对方的意思甚至是精髓。所以中文的功底在这时就显得至关 重要。语言是不同的,但又是相通的。因此,两种语言不应该有所偏颇。 但是不论是表达抑或是思维,翻译最需要的勤学苦练,在不断的学习中不断地提高。在我看来,这是成为一名好翻译,一名不会落伍的翻译的最重要的前提。在翻译处这几个月以来,我的另一个很深的体会便是处里的同事时时刻刻都在学习新

英汉互译的学习心得教学内容

英汉互译的学习心得

英汉互译学习的心得体会 管理学院 *** 经过了三个星期的英汉互译学习,有些体会。现就英汉翻译,谈点感想。 英汉翻译中最大的问题,莫过于不加修改的直译,在英文翻译中有几点汉语习惯是一定要注意的。 1.长句尽量改短,语序调整为汉语习惯 英文中很容易就出现从句套从句的长句,这些句子读起来本身就很难理解了,如果翻译的时候还是不加改动,那读者读起来就更难理解。我在这儿举个例子吧,就拿我自己翻译的《钉子与镇魂歌》的开头部分:The episode of the nail and the requiem was one of the most characteristic of all those in which, over a relatively brief period, I was privileged to watch Trevis Tarrant at work. 刚开始读到这句话的时候,我自己也愣了好半天,因为这句话完全不是汉语的习惯,如果不假思索地直接翻译,那就是:钉子与镇魂歌的事件是最有代表性的案件之一,在短暂的时间里,这段时间是我有幸观察塔南特工作的那段时间。当然要合并成一句话,也可以这么翻译:钉子与镇魂歌的事件是我有幸观察塔南特工作的那段时间里发生的最有代表性的案件之一。天啊,阅读起来太累了,但是这句话并没有语法问题!我想在翻译的时候要牢记一点:最后形成的是汉语,阅读我们译文的是中文读者。所以在这里必须要调整语序,而且长句要改短,最后我给的译文就是:在我有幸目睹塔南特破案的短暂时光里,钉子与镇魂歌的事件应该是最有代表性的案件之一。 2.定语改表语 英语中常常出现中心语前面出现两三个形容词的情况,这儿我举《绿色危机》第一章的例子:A huge, square envelope, covered with a huge, square handwriting. 直译就是很大的方形的信封上面写着大气的方正的字

经典英文段落翻译__英译汉15篇

1.意大利著名旅行家马可。波罗曾这样叙述他印象中的杭州:“这是世界上最美妙迷人的城市,它使人觉得自己社在天堂。”在中国,也流传着这样的话:“上有天堂,下有苏杭。”杭州的名气主要在于风景如画的西湖。西湖一年四季都美不胜收,宋代著名诗人苏东坡用“淡妆浓抹总相宜”的诗句来赞誉西湖。在杭州,您可以饱览西湖的秀色,也不妨漫步街头闹市,品尝一下杭州的名菜名点,还可购上几样名特土产。 The famous Italian traveler Marco Pole was so impressed by the beauty of Hangzhou that he described it as “the mist fascinating city in the world where one feels that one is in paradise.” In China, there has been a century-old popular saying praising the city: In Heaven there is Paradise; on Earth there are Suzhou and Hangz hou.” Hangzhou’s fame lies mainly in its picturesque West Lake. As it is beautiful all the year round, the West Lake was compared by Su Dongpo, a celebrated poet of the Song Dynasty, to a beauty “who is always charming in either light or heavy makeup.” In Hangzhou, you will not only find the lake a perfect delight to the eye but also find it a joy to stroll along the busy streets, taste famous Hangzhou dishes and buy some special local products. 2.在设备制造期间,雇主的代表有权对根据合同提供的全部工程设备的材料和工艺进行检查、研究和检验,同时检查其制造进度。这一切应在工作时间内于承包商的工厂里进行。如果工程设备正在其它第三方工厂制造,承包商应为卖方代表获得他能在该工厂进行此类检查、研究和检验的许可。此类检查、研究或检验不应解除承包商在合同中的任何义务。 The Employer’s representative shall be entitled during manufacture to inspect, examine and test the materials and workmanship and check the progress of manufacture of all Plants to be supplied under the Contract.
