矛盾的福建

福建是名副其实的山地省，福建的山连绵不断，至海未绝。福建的山地加丘陵，占到全省面积的90%多。但福建的特殊性在于它还是一个海洋省，是中国最具海洋文明精神的一个省。福建海洋文明的发育，也和福建的山地有关，正是这些大山，阻碍了福建与中原的联系，面向大海寻找出路是福建的最好选择。

福建的山地直逼入海，或者说大海入侵，直抵山脚，造成了福建的海岸水深崖陡，岸线曲折，海湾、海岛众多。这是中国也是世界上最好的海岸，最适合建设大的港口，停靠大船。但是很遗憾，造物主给了福建最适合建造港口的海岸，却没有给它与之相配的腹地。这是福建的第一个矛盾。

福建的矛盾还有许多。破碎的山地，高大的山脉，造成了封闭；曲折的海岸，优良的港湾，又哺育了福建人面向大海的开放意识。这就是福建的又一个矛盾。闽西客家人聚族而居的土楼与厦门鼓浪屿上那一幢幢有着希腊式廊柱的洋房是这个矛盾最好的注脚。

理解福建不仅要了解福建的矛盾性，还要理解福建的两极性。福建在矛盾对立的两方都趋向极端。

比如海洋文明，福建比中国滨海的其他省区要发达得多，我觉得，如

果把海洋文明理解为面对大海无所畏惧，敢于向海外移民和敢于出海通番经商的话，福建人就是中国最敢闯海的人。福建人是最早“下南洋”、“闯东洋”的，东南亚遍布祖籍是福建的人；福建人又是最早出海做生意的人。有人说广州人是“坐商”，自古就会招天下人来广州开“广交会”，而福建人是“行商”，自古就会乘着季风驾着帆船“下南洋”。《福布斯》杂志曾刊出全球前十大华人富豪，其中四人祖籍是福建。福建籍的华侨有1000多万，分布在五大洲一百多个国家和地区。

但如果我们说福建的文化是面向大海的开放的海洋文明，立刻就会招来反对，因为中华的传统文化在福建根基牢固，被保存得十分完好。

因为破碎化的山地，格子状的水系，造成了一个个割据的语言孤岛，一块块格子状的文化飞地，因此中华文化在这些孤岛和飞地中避免了被同化的命运。

许多古老的文化，到了福建破碎的山地中，就像化石一样被保留了下来。比如福建各地都有自己的戏，除了流行于各城市的闽剧、莆仙戏、梨园戏、高甲戏、芗剧五大剧种外，还有二十多个大小剧种流行于各地。直至今天仍旧可以查到一万五千多个剧目，一些宋、元朝代的古剧本和古曲目在全国早已成了绝响，但在福建却还保留着。

这就是福建。在不同时代、从不同地方进入福建的移民带来异彩纷呈的中华文化，这些文化在福建封闭的山间盆地中留存和持续下来。而本地

原住民闽越人的文化早已丧失了主导地位，让位于移民文化。不过由于移民带来的中原文化的阶段性和多元性，福建并没有形成一种正统的具有强大征服和同化能力的主流文化。在福建，中华文明呈现出一种时空多元的破碎状态。闽北的理学文化、闽中的三山文化、莆仙的妈祖文化、闽东的畲族文化、闽西的客家文化，这些文化在福建平分秋色，谁也征服不了谁。由于这些与中原密切相关的传统文化的分散与孤立，有一种文化在福建就显得格外突出，呈现出鹤立鸡群之态，这就是来自闽南的海洋文明。

汉译英参考译文

Fujian: Land of Contrasts

Fujian is indeed a mountainous province. Its hills and mountains, stretching all the way to the sea, account for over 90 percent of its total land area. However, what makes Fujian distinctive is its maritime culture, the most profound in China. The development of such a culture relates to its mountains. As these mountains hinder its connection with the Central Plains (the area on the middle and lower reaches of

the Yellow River which forms the cradle of the Chinese civilization), the best choice for Fujian is to seek a way out through the sea.

As the mountains in Fujian plunge into the sea, or to put it the other way around, the sea breaks its way to the very foot of the mountains, it gives rise to deep water and steep cliffs along its zigzagging coastline and a large number of harbors and islets. Crowned as the best in China and beyond, the coast is ideal for big ports where large vessels can put in. Regrettably, the Creator does not grant Fujian an accommodating hinterland in proportion to such a coast. This constitutes the first contrast in Fujian.

There are still many other contrasts in Fujian. The fragmented hilly areas and high mountains lead to seclusion, while the twisting coasts and favorable harbors nurture an open-minded seaward people, which forms another contrast. The coexistence of Hakka clan-gathering Tulou (earthen buildings) in West Fujian and the western-style buildings with Greek colonnade in Xiamen’s Gulang Islet serves as the best testimony to this contrast.

In order to understand Fujian, you should bear in mind its polarization as well as its contrasts, as both sides of its contrasts are poles apart.

For example, Fujian is far more developed than other coastal provinces in China in terms of maritime culture. If maritime culture could be interpreted as undauntedness in face of the sea, and courage to settle down overseas and to trade with foreigners, Fujian people would be the bravest seaworthy ones in China. They are among the earliest ones in China to sail to the “southern ocean” (an old name for the Southeast Asia) and the “eastern ocean”(an old name for Japan). That explains why many people in Southeast Asia are of Fujian origin. What’s more, Fujian people are also the first in China to do business abroad via the sea. Whereas

Guangzhou people are seen as “sitting merchants”, attracting people from around the world to attend the “Canton Fair” since ancient times, Fujian people could then be considered “traveling merchants”, who have learned to take advantage of monsoon winds and sail to the “southern ocean” since the early days. Four people from Fujian once made Forbes list of top ten richest Chinese. More than 10 million people of Fujian descent now live in over 100 countries and regions in five continents.

You will, however, immediately incur opposition if you call Fujian culture just an open seaward maritime one, for the traditional Chinese culture is also well preserved and deeply rooted in Fujian.

The fragmented hilly areas and reticulated water system create many isolated islands of language and latticed cultural enclaves, which help keep the Chinese culture from being naturalized.

Many ancient cultures are preserved like fossils in these fragmented hilly areas. Each and every part of Fujian has its own opera. In addition to the five major operas, namely, Min, Puxian, Liyuan, Gaojia, and Xiang, there are still over twenty operatic shows with over 15,000 recorded repertories. Some ancient play scripts and music pieces from the Song and Yuan dynasties (960-1368), presumed to be long lost in China, can still be found in Fujian.

This is Fujian. People came here from different places at different times and brought with them a variety of splendid Chinese cultures, which have been preserved and handed down in the province’s secluded intermont basins. The culture of native inhabitants—the Minyue people—has long lost its dominance and given way to the settlers’ cultures. Yet no orthodox mainstream culture of sweeping influence has come into being in Fujian, due to the diversity of the Central Plains

cultures brought in at intervals by different settlers. Rather, the Chinese culture in Fujian is featured by its piecemeal development and diversity, with Neo-Confucianism Culture in North Fujian, Three-hill Culture in Central Fujian, Mazu Culture in Putian, Ethnic She Culture in East Fujian, and Hakka Culture in West Fujian sharing equal importance. As these traditional cultures closely related to those of the Central Plains are scattered and isolated, the maritime culture in South Fujian distinguishes itself and stands out above the others.

2012年9月高级口译考试翻译(汉译英) (总分：10.00，做题时间：90分钟) 1. 我们要创造更加良好的政治环境和更加自由的学术氛围，让人民追求真理、崇尚理性、尊重科学，探索自然的奥秘、社会的法则和人生的真谛。做学问、搞科研，尤其需要倡导“独立之精神，自由之思想”。正因为有了充分的学术自由，像牛顿这样在人类历史上具有伟大影响的科学家，才能够思潮奔腾、才华迸发，敢于思考前人从未思考过的问题，敢于踏进前人从未涉足的领域。不久前，我同中国科学家交流时提出，要大力营造敢于创造、敢冒风险、敢于批判和宽容失败的环境，鼓励自由探索，提倡学术争鸣。我们历来主张尊重世界文明的多样性，倡导不同文明之间的对话、交流与合作。我国已故著名社会学家费孝通先生，上世纪30年代曾就读于伦敦政治经济学院并获得博士学位，一生饱经沧桑。他在晚年提出：“各美其美，美人之美，美美与共，世界大同。” 费老先生的这一人生感悟，生动反映了当代中国人开放包容的胸怀。 （分数：10.00） __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：( We should create a better political environment and a freer academic atmosphere in which people can pursue truth, exercise reasoning and respect science, in which the mysteries of nature, the laws governing society and the true meaning of life can be fully explored. The spirit ofindependence and freedom in thinking is particularly important in academic studies and research. It was in an environment of academic freedom that great scientists like Isaac Newton, who had aprofound impact on human history, were able to bring out their best, probe issues not questioned by predecessors and blaze a new trail. In my recent conversation with some Chinese scientists, I called for creating an environment which encourages innovation, criticism and risk-taking and tolerates failure, an environment that encourages free exploration of new things and stimulates academic debate. We have always called for respecting the diversity of civilizations and advocated dialogue, exchanges and cooperation among them. The late Mr. Fei Xiaotong, a well-known Chinese sociologist, received his PhD at the London School of Economics and Political Science in the 1930s. Having gone through many vicissitudes in life, he concluded in his late years that "The world will be a harmonious place if people appreciate their own beauty and that of others, and work together to create beauty in the world." These thoughts best illustrate the open and inclusive mindset of China today. ) 解析：出自温总理在英国皇家学会上的演讲。6月27日，温总理到访英国皇家学会，发表了“中国改革开放以来的发展变化及未来中国的走向”为主题的演讲，其中涉及大量国家政治经济、社会建设、科技发展、人民生活等宏大议题。文中关键词有：独立精神，spirit of independence；学术自由，academic freedom；文明多样性，diversity of civilizations；学术争鸣，academic debate等。文中开篇第一句的难点在于断句并找出文中暗含的关系。同学们一般采用的就是全部并列，忽略前后之间暗含的关系，示范译文处理为“in which”的关系。“大力营造敢于创造、敢冒风险、敢于批判和宽容失败的环境”考察的是学生在汉译英时词性转换的能力，译文通过“encourages innovation, criticism and risk-taking and tolerates failure”意译出原文。专有名词，如牛顿、伦敦政治经济学院，也比较考验学生的常识积累。“各美其美，美人之美，美美与共，世界大同。”这就要求拥有一定的文化积淀，准确理解其内涵，并用通俗易懂的语言转化为英文。

(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.

The square dancing is very popular all over mainland China, whether in the north or in the south.

汉英语篇翻译练习答案： 1．Retirement Attitudes toward retirement vary from person to person. Some people think that they will enjoy their time in retirement, but when it comes they may feel a little disappointed. Unwilling to resign themselves to the prospect of being put on the scrap heap, they try to seek alternative outlets for their energies and alternative sources of income that employment can provide. Others have already prepared themselves for the significant change in their lives. Tired out after all exhaus ting life revolving around work, they are anxious to relax in retirement with all the strains relieved. As there is no more need to rush to catch a morning bus and no more anxiety about promotion, they now have enough time to fulfill an old dream, such as writing, painting, growing flowers and traveling around. On the whole, female workers tend to have a more favorable attitude towards retirement than male workers. Withdrawal from employment to complete domesticity is a far less threatening experience for a woman than for a man. 2. Good-bye, My Ill-fated Motherland! The moment I set foot on the deck of the ship, there began my temporary separation from Chinese oil and a feeling of parting sorrow welled up in my heart. At sailing time, I stood on deck watching the ship receding slowly from the bank until I was out of sight of the towering waterfront buildings and the foreign warships on the Huangpu River. Thereupon I turned round with hot tears in my eyes, murmuri ng, “Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland!” Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland! I own what I am to the upbringing you have given me during the past 22 years. I have spent every day of my life in your warm bosom and under your loving care. Y ou have given me joy and sorrow as well as food and clothing. This is where my close relatives were born and brought up and where I have friends here and there. Y ou gave me a wide variety of happiness in my early childhood, but you have also been the source of my sorrow ever since I began to understand things. Here I have witnessed all sorts of human tragedy. Here I have come to know the times we live in. Here I have undergone untold sufferings. I have been struggling, fighting and, time and again, found myself on the brink of destruction and covered all over with cuts and bruises. I have laid to rest, with tears and sighs, some of my close relatives—relatives victimized by old feudal ethnics. Here, besides beautiful mountains and rivers and fertile farmland, we have ghastly prisons and execution grounds as well. Here bad people hold sway while good people suffer and justice is trodden down underfoot. Here people have to wage a savage struggle in order to win freedom. Here man eats man. O the numerous terrible scenes! O the numerous sad memories! O the grand Y ellow River! O the mysterious Y angtze River! Where on earth are your glories of the past? O my native land! O my people! How can I have the heart to leave you! Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland! Much as I hate you, I’ve got to love you as ever. （选自《英语世界》2004年第三期，张培基译）

Passage 11 The psychology of the market is one that includes both the psychology of investing and the psychology of gambling. There are the compulsive attractions of gambling in the market. The undulating moods of the stock market, alternating between its bull phase of energy greediness and grandiosity, and the bear phase of timidity, anxiety, indecisiveness and self-doubt, reflect the manic behavior of the gambling addict. Speculation differs from most gambling activities in that the beliefs of the participants affect the results. In certain circumstances speculators are capable of creating self-fulfilling prophecies.// Success in speculation is ultimately dependent on finding someone else to buy your shares at a higher price than you paid for him or her. Every speculative bubble resembles a chain letter in that profits are provided by late entrants to the market. Everyone is attempting to anticipate the immediate intentions of his competitors. In such circumstances, paying attention to shifts in market psychology becomes essential.// 市场的心态表现出投机与赌博兼而有之的两重性。市场有难以抗拒的赌博诱惑。股市的情绪在牛市和熊市之间交替波动，牛市充满了高涨的贪婪情绪，熊市则弥漫着胆怯、焦虑、犹豫不决和自我怀疑的情绪。股市心态的这种波动折射出赌徒的躁狂行为。投机活动与大多数赌博活动的不同之处在于，投机参与者的信念会影响投机结果。在某些情况下，投机者能够创造出自我实现的预言。//投机的成功归根到底取决于别人能否以比你买入时更高的价格买下你手中的股票。每个投机泡沫就好比一封连锁信，利润是由后来入市者提供的。每一个人都在预测竞争对手下_步的意图。在这种情况下，对市场心理变化的关注是至关重要的。// Passage 12 The utility of the United Nations to the United States as an

1暮色中，河湾里落满云霞，与天际的颜色混合一起，分不清哪是流云哪是水湾。 也就在这一幅绚烂的图画旁边，在河湾之畔，一群羊正在低头觅食。它们几乎没 有一个顾得上抬起头来，看一眼这美丽的黄昏。也许它们要抓紧时间，在即将回家的 最后一刻再次咀嚼。这是黄河滩上的一幕。牧羊人不见了，他不知在何处歇息。只有 这些美生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。这儿水草肥美，让它们长得肥滚滚的。如果 走近了, 你会发现它们洁白的牙齿，以及那丰富而单纯的表情。 2都市寸土千金，地价炒得越来越高，今后将更高。拥有一个小小花园的希望， 对寻常之辈不啻是一种奢望，一种梦想。 我想，其实谁都有一个小小花园，这便是我们的内心世界。人的智力需要开发， 人的内心世界也是需要开发的。人和动物的区别，除了众所周知的诸多方面，恐怕还 在于人有内心世界。心不过是人的一个重要脏器，而内心世界是一种景观，它是由外 部世界不断地作用于内心渐渐形成的。每个人都无比关注自己及至亲至爱之人心脏的 渐损，以至于稍有微疾便惶惶不可终日。但并非每个人都关注自己及至亲至爱之人的 内心世界的阴晴。 3手机刷新了人与人的关系。会议室门口通常贴着一条通告：请与会者关闭手机。可是会议室里的手机铃声仍然响成一片。我们都是普通人，并没有多少重要的事情。 尽管如此，我们也不会轻易关掉手机。打开手机象征我们与这个世界的联系。手机反 映出我们的"社交饥渴症"。最为常见的是，一个人走着走着突然停下来，眼睛盯着手 机屏幕发短信。他不在乎停在马路中央还是厕所旁边。 4朋友关系的存续是以相互尊重为前提的，容不得半点强求、干涉和控制。朋友 之间，情趣相投、脾气对味则合、则交；反之，则离、则绝。朋友之间再熟悉、再亲密，也不能随便过头、不恭不敬。不然，默契和平衡将被打破，友好关系将不复存在。每个人都希望拥有自己的私密空间，朋友之间过于随便，就容易侵入这片禁区，从 而引起冲突，造成隔阂。待友不敬，或者只是一件小事，却可能已埋下了破坏性的 种子。维持朋友亲密关系的最好办法是往来有节，互不干涉。 5大自然对人的恩赐，无论贫富，一律平等。所以人们对于大自然，全都一致并 深深地依赖着。尤其在乡间，上千年来人们一直以不变的方式生活着。种植庄稼和葡萄，酿酒和饮酒，喂牛和挤奶，锄草和载花；在周末去教堂祈祷和做礼拜，在节日到 广场拉琴、跳舞和唱歌；往日的田园依旧是今日的温馨家园。这样，每个地方都有自 己的传说，风俗也就衍传了下来。 6得病以前，我受父母宠爱，在家中横行霸道，一旦隔离，拘禁在花园山坡上一 幢小房子里，我顿觉打入冷宫，十分郁郁不得志起来。一个春天的傍晚，园中百花怒放，父母在园中设宴，一时宾客云集，笑语四溢。我在山坡的小屋里，悄悄掀起窗帘，
