Fro m an aesthetic point of view, Traditional Chinese Painting possesses China’s unique national character although it has much in common with Western painting.

Chinese painters usually combine poetry and philosophy together. Hence there is an expression “painting in poetry and poetry in painting”. Exercise V.

In the courtyard of the house where Chinese teachers were living, there was also a similar but much smaller fountain looking like potted landscape. It was built by the Chinese teachers who had come earlier in their spare time. They had graced it with water plants and goldfish. Perhaps out of a yearning for their homeland, they had even engraved on a Taihu rock four C hinese characters: “Er Quan Ying Yue”, meaning “two springs reflecting the moonlight.” These characters were painted red and written in an
ancient calligraphic style. The homestick Chinese teachers seemed to feel that at the sight of these characters, they could by a flight of the imagination bring to their presence a native moon smilingly beaming over the West Lake.

A Rare Opportunity The famous Beijing Opera performer of Wu Sheng (acrobatic male role), Mr Xu Li, recently accepted an engagement with our Dancing School. Wu Sheng is a very important role in Beijing Opera. It requires a high level of acrobatic skills. Wu Sheng actors often show off their skills with tumbles, twists, and somersaults on the stage. These skills and movements require great precision in timing and strength, which takes a lot of training and exercise. Many of the floor skills and postures of classic and ethnic Chinese dances were originally from the acrobatic skills of traditional Chinese operas. Our dancing school is very fortunate to have Mr Xu Li to teach our Floor Skills class for girls and Kungfu class for boys. For class schedule, please click HERE. Exercise III. Translate the following sentences into English. 1.齐白石以革新水墨画和毕生献身于这项中国的传统艺术形式而闻名于世。 2.他在几天后把那幅画重画了很多次，但是总比不上他当天即兴完成的作品。 3.兰亭序的极高的艺术价值促使更多书法家临摹王羲之的字体。 4.一个好的书法家所写出来的字必须充满生气，活力并具备完美的形体。 5.书法是一门艺术，它需要清醒的头脑以及对毛笔有全面的掌握。 6.这个年轻演员认识到自己的演技还差，无法与他老师的演技相提并论。 Key Exercise III.

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。 翻译：Scented sachets, also called “fragrant bags” in ancient times, are bags usually sewed with cloth or weaved with multicolor silk threads and stuffed with aromatic herbs. The fragrant bags were originally used for absorbing sweat, repelling insects and warding off evils. Scented sachets are not only useful, but also ornamental. They come in different shapes and sizes, such as round, oval and many others. And they are normally decorated with elaborate patterns, with each pattern symbolizing a special meaning.For instance,a double-fish or double-butterfly pattern smybolizes the love between a man and a woman;patterns like lotus or peony flowers symbolize women;pine and crane patterns symbolize longevity and a guava pattern is the symbol of lots of children.A nice scented sachet is not just an ornament,but more of something that contains cultural and historical richness. 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。 翻译：Chinese folk art and Chinese philosophy are unified in the belief that yin-yang produces all living things in the world. Originated in Chinese primitive society, this was the philosophical explanation of human's perception of life. Chinese ancestors philosophical conclusion was to “look at oneself up close and other creatures from afar”，which is essential to the understanding of the primitive art to the folk art of the nation. To live and to continue life through propagation are the two instinctive desires of human. From birth, a person's first instinct is to survive, and then to live a long life. From primitive society to the present day, the view of yin-yang and perpetual life has permeated in all aspects of social life and the national culture of Chinese society.Chinese folk art reflects all of the basic philosophical concepts. 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。
翻译如何避免中式英语
翻译如何避免中式英语 一、避免过多重复信息 对于汉语中的重复信息，译者在汉译英时可尝试采用如下方式： 其一，对重复出现的信息加以省略，比如在结构相同的、平行的汉语简单句中，重复的谓语动词在汉译英时可以省略不译； 其二，用英语代词或其他词来替代汉语中重复出现的信息，比如可以用the former、the latter、one、it等词替代上文提过的信息； 其三，采取类似“合并同类项”的方法(即把多项式中的同类项合并成一项)，将汉语中重复的词语或信息提取出来，合并为“一项”来翻译，这“一项”可加在全部有关词语或信息的前面或后面，统管兼顾。 例1 中国最重要的节日是新年，最热闹的节日也是新年。 参考译文：The most important festival in China is Spring Festival, which is also the most exciting. 注解：“新年”在原文中重复出现两次，汉译英时可以采取替代的方式，用关系代词which 替代第二个“新年”，同时引出一个定语从句。“节日”在原文中也重复出现，第二个“节日”可以省略不译。 例2 中国文化认为有些颜色吉利，有些颜色不吉利。 参考译文：In Chinese culture, some colors are considered lucky and some unlucky. 注解：“颜色”一词出现两次，汉译英时可省略第二个分句中的“颜色”。
例3 竹子象征清逸，松柏象征长寿，莲花象征纯洁，兰花象征归隐。 参考译文：Bamboo represents elegance, pine longevity, lotus purity and orchid reclusion. 注解：原文为四个平行分句，结构相同，谓语动词也相同，汉译英时可以省略后三个分句中重复使用的谓语动词“象征”。 例4 和尚的僧袍是黄色的，佛教寺院也是黄色的。 参考译文：Monks’garments are yellow and so are Buddhist temples. 注解：原文两个分句的重复信息为“黄色的”，汉译英时可以用so或as替代这一重复信息。需要注意的是，当so置于句首时，句子需引起部分倒装，因此参考译文中的系动词are 应提至主语Buddhist temples之前。 二、避免动词使用过多 汉语中往往分句密集，动词的出现频率较高。汉语中还有“连动式”和“兼语式”结构，句子中集结了大量的动词。英语往往只使用一个动词来表达最主要的动作含义，其他动作则通常借助动词不定式、分词、名词、介词、形容词等来表达。英语的这种借用方式削弱了动词所传递的意义，使其呈现出一种静态的特征。鉴于汉语和英语的这一表达差异，译者在汉译英时可多采用名词、介词、形容词等来翻译汉语中过多的动词，以使译文更地道。 例1 各地开办了很多老年大学，让老人学写书法，学画国画，学跳舞。 参考译文：Around the country, many colleges for the elderly have been set up for them to learn calligraphy, Chinese painting and dancing. 注解：原文分句较多，且每个分句中都有动词。参考译文保留了主要谓语动词“开办”(set up)，并借用动词不定式to learn来对应原文后三个分句都重复使用的动词“学”，采用“合
浅谈中英文在文化上的差异
浅谈中英文在文化上的差异中国与英语国家在文化上的差异体现在社会生活的诸多方面，也体现在地域文化的差异，习俗文化的差异，姓名与称呼用语的差异，交际用语的差异，数字内涵，委婉语和对应词及其内涵方面。我从中选取几个方面来，通过对这些方面的讨论来探讨中英文在文化上的差异性。 首先要讨论两国语言在文化上的差异就应该了解什么叫文化，以及文化与语言的关系。 所谓文化就是一个群体的人们在其发展过程中引导其生活、保障其生存的全部内容的总和。我们每一个人，无论生长何地，都是各自特定文化与表达文化的语言的产物。鲁斯·本尼迪克特在《文化类型》中说道：“一个人从他呱呱坠地的那一刻起，他周围的环境与风俗习惯就影响着他的经历和行为。等到他咿呀学语的时候，他已成为此文化熏陶的一个小生灵了。待到他长大成人，能够参与社会活动时，这一特定的文化习惯便成了他的习惯，其特有的观念也变成了他的观念，其禁忌也就变成了他的禁忌。”这高度概括了文化对我们每个人的影响。 同时，语言与文化相依为命，不可能脱离另一方面而独立存在，语言反映文化特征并预示文化发展的方向，两者的关系可简单地比作内容与形式相互依赖、相互作用的关系。 中英文在文化上的差异具体体现在以下几个方面：
一．地域文化的差异 地域文化主要指地理环境、自然环境方面的文化。受自然环境的影响，不同民族在对同一事物的认识上存在差异。有些事物在一种语言中为美，而在另一种语言中为丑；有些事物在一种语言中有丰富的内涵，而在另一种语言中毫无意义。地域文化上的差异又体现在： 1.中英文动物词文化的差异 在中国，龙被视为神物，集力量、智慧、运气、喜庆、威严、威武、权力于一身。封建时代的皇帝常把自己比做“龙”，中华民族也称自己为“龙的传人”，“龙的子孙”。而在英语中，dragon被看作“邪恶”、“恐怖”，甚至“战争”的代名词。《圣经》里多次提到的魔鬼撒旦就是一个与上帝作对的诱惑者和叛逆者的形象，它被称作the old Dragon。英国着名作家狄更斯在《艰难时世》中也以“Dragon”这个词来描述斯巴塞太太：……镇上的人们走来走去看见她坐在那儿，却把她看作这个银行的“毒龙”(Bank dragon)。 2.中英文植物词文化的差异 竹子这种植物与中国文化有着深厚的关系，历代文人墨客赏竹、画竹、咏竹。郑板桥的竹画享誉世界，邵谒的名句“竹死不变节，花落有余香”深入人心，竹子逐渐成了中国人坚强不屈、高风亮节的性格的象征。但bamboo一词在英语里只不过是一种很普通的植物，没有任何外延意义。 二．习俗文化的差异
