第二篇翻译：中秋节

1人们在农历八月十五日庆祝中国的传统节日——中秋节。2几千年来，中国人喜欢将人的悲欢离合与月亮的阴晴圆缺联系起来。3因为满月是圆的，象征着团圆，中秋节也被称为团圆节。4所有家庭成员会尽力团聚在这特殊的日子里，而那些不能回家的人则观望明月，以寄思念。5此外，月宫里美丽的仙女嫦娥的神话故事也赋予了这一丰收节日的神话色彩(mythological flavor)。

参考译文：

1Mid-Autumn Festival, one of Chinese traditional festivals, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. 2For thousands of years, Chinese people like to relate joy and sorrow, parting and reunion to changes of the moon (as it waxes and wanes). 3Since the full moon is round, which symbolizes reunion, the Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as the festival of reunion. 4All family members try to get together on this special day, while those who can not return home try to watch the bright moonlight to send/express their longing for their loved ones. 5In addition, this harvest festival is also given a mythological flavor with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful fairy in the moon.

该篇材料涉及中国的传统文化——中秋节庆祝的内容，主要考察对于文化词汇的理解与灵活翻译运用能力，诸如“农历”、“悲欢离合”、“阴晴圆缺”、“团圆”、“仙女嫦娥”等。

第一句应译为含有被动语态的简单句，同时，注意“农历八月十五日”的灵活表达。当主句的主语是泛指人称代词，且语境并不强调动作的发出者时，宜采用被动语态进行翻译，语体更加正式，其更符合英文的表达习惯。“农历八月十五日”可以表达为“the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar/ 15th, August of the lunar calendar”；“中秋节”可译为“Mid-Autumn Festival”，该词已广为理解和接受，亦可音译为“Zhong Qiu Jie”，以保留中国文化特色词语。

第二句的翻译主要考查“悲欢离合”、“阴晴圆缺”、“联系”这三个词的语义选择。“悲欢离合”即为“悲伤，欢乐，离别，重逢”，应采用名词形式，其中，“离别”可译为“parting/departure/farewell”等。“阴晴圆缺”应译为习

语“the moon waxes and wanes”，亦可简单译为“the changes of the moon”，就能较准确地表达句意。“联系”可译为“relate A to B/ connect A to/with B/ associate A with B”等。

第三句应译为带有原因状语从句的复合句，主要考查非限定性定语从句的运用以及“团圆”的语义选择。“象征着团圆”这个分句可译成非限定性定语从句，对“满月”的信息进行补充说明；亦可译为原因状语从句的谓语部分，如“Since the full moon is round and symbolizes reunion”。“团圆”这个词具有一定的文化色彩，译文中较难既保留“圆”的形象又表达“圆满/团聚”的意义，这里换一种说法，译成“reunion/being together”即可。主句中的“也被称为”可译为“…is also known as…”。

第四句的翻译主要考查连接词“while”以及不定式作目的状语的用法。根据语境，前后句意表明的是不同情况下的对比，没有强烈的转折关系，所以应用“while”，而不用“but/ however/whereas”等连接词。“以寄思念”为目的状语，宜用动词的不定式进行翻译，可译为“to send/express their longing for their loved ones”，或“to comfort their homesickness”，或简单地译为“to miss their home”。

第五句可译为简单句，主要考察被动语态的灵活运用以及“赋予”、“月宫”、“仙女”的语义选择。根据语境，该段主要描述中秋节的风俗习惯，前面已有两句采用“中秋节”为主语，为了使上下文更好地衔接或更连贯，此句仍以“中秋节”为主语，并采用被动语态进行翻译；当然，采用主动语态翻译也是可以接受的。“赋予”可译成“A be given sth. by/with B/ A be endowed with sth. by B”；“月宫”即为“the moon”；“仙女”译为“fairy”。

第三篇翻译：舞龙舞狮

中国是舞龙舞狮的起源地。自问世以来，舞龙、舞狮运动一直受到各个民族人民的喜爱，代代相传，长久不衰，并因此形成了灿烂的舞龙舞狮文化。长期以来，很多青年朋友都以为龙舞、狮舞就是春节、庙会、庆典时的喜庆表演，殊不知它历经了几千年的传承流变，积淀了深厚的历史文化，是祖先留给我们的极其宝贵的文化遗产。核心词提示：舞龙：the Dragon Dance 舞狮：Lion Dance 春节：Spring Festival 庙会：Spring Festival fairs

China is the original place of the Dragon Dance and Lion Dance. Since the birth of them, they've always been favored by every ethnic group, which was passed on from generation to generation, long lasting without stops, and thus a prosperous culture of Dragon Dance and Lion Dance was gradually formed. Lots of people reckoned that such shows are certain shows at happy occasions such as Spring Festival and Spring Festival fairs and celebrations. However, they failed to realize that the Dances had passed through thousands of years, which contributed greatly to its profound history and culture, and they're precious cultural heritage left by our ancestors.

第四篇翻译：旗袍

旗袍，是中国女性的传统服装，源于中国满族女性的传统服装。因为满族人被称为“旗人”，所以满族人的长袍被称为“旗袍”。到了20世纪20年代，受西方服

饰的影响，经过改进之后的旗袍逐渐在广大妇女中流行起来。在中国，很多女性都喜欢穿旗袍。结婚的时候，新娘不仅要订做一件中式旗袍作为结婚礼服，还要穿着漂亮的旗袍照一套婚纱照，作为永久的纪念。对于中国的女明星们而言，旗袍也成为她们参加各种重要活动的首选礼服。

核心词提示：

旗袍：Cheongsam [?t??:??s?m]

满族：Manchu

旗人：banner man

In the case of a resistor, the voltage-current relationship is given by Ohm’s law, which states that the voltage across the resistor is equal to the current through the resistor multiplied by the value of the resistance. 就电阻来说, 电压—电流的关系由欧姆定律决定。欧姆定律指出:电阻两端的 电压等于电阻上流过的电流乘以电阻值。 2]It may be that the inductor voltage rather than the current is the variable of interest in the circuit. 或许在电路中,人们感兴趣的变量是电感电压而不是电感电流。 Viewed in this light, it will be found that the analysis of three-phase circuits is little more difficult than that of single-phase circuits. 这样看来,三相电路的分析比单相电路的分析难不了多少。 At unity power factor, the power in a single-phase circuit is zero twice each cycle. 在功率因数为 1时,单相电路里的功率值每个周波有两次为零。 It should be noted that if the polarity of point Awith respect to N ( is assumed for the positive half-cycle, then when used in the same phasor diagram should be drawn opposite to, or 180? out of phase with, . 应该注意,如果把 A 点相对于 N 的极性(定为正半周,那么在用于同一相量图中时就应该画得同相反,即相位差为 180?

I wish you all a pleasant journey. 中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如，我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。因此，中秋节的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year)，除了常见的肉类、海鲜之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传 统食物，如饺子。 Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable to some festivals.For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day.The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol of completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake.The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year’s holiday. Besides the popular meat and seafood, people cook traditional food, for example, Jiaozi, according to regional customs. 端午节，又叫龙舟节，是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣（minister）,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤（vilify）而最终投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方，抛下粽子，希望鱼儿吃粽子，不要吃屈原的身躯。几千年来，端午节的特色在于吃粽子（glutinous dumplings）和赛龙舟，尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。 The Duanwu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified. People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water, hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan’s body. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes.

1.在中国，喝茶是一种仪式（ritual），一种精致品味（refined taste）的展示。人们在饮茶 的同时，也领略着（take delight in）品茶的情趣之意。喝茶聊天是中国人中最流行的打发时间的方式。过去，他们是以进有名的茶馆（teahouse）而开始一天的生活的。中国的茶馆相当于法国的咖啡馆和英国的酒馆。人们到这里不仅是为了喝茶，也是为了议论当地的新闻或对政治话题进行激烈的（furious）争论。 2.在中国，中小学教育需要花费12年的时间来完成，分为小学、初中和高中三个阶段。 小学教育持续5年或6年。在初中阶段，大多数学生上3年制初中，极少数上4年制。 几乎98%的学生在前一种学校入学。在小学和初中的9年教育属于义务教育。普通高中教育持续3年时间，在整个义务教育阶段，学生要求在每学期末参加期末考试。 3.旅游业是最近二十年来在世界各地迅速发展的一个经济部门，现在正引起中国公众愈来 愈大的注意。许多人给报社写信，就促进中国的旅游业的发展提出了种种建议。人们的看法是，发展旅游业将有助于促进中国人民和其他国家人们之间的相互了解，增进友谊，并将有利于文化、科学、技术方面的交流，还会有助于为中国的伟大事业积累资金。 4.剪纸（paper cutting）是中国最为流行的民间艺术形式之一。中国剪纸有一千五百多年的 历史，在明朝和清朝时期（the Ming and Qing Dynasties）特别流行。人们常用剪纸美化居家环境，特别是在春节和婚庆期间，剪纸被用来装饰门窗和房间，以增加喜庆的气氛。 剪纸最常用的颜色是红色，象征健康和兴旺。中国剪纸在世界各地很受欢迎，经常被用作馈赠外国友人的礼物。 5.过去的七年，中国的房地产（real estate）业经历前所未有的高速增长。对于那些月薪较 低却渴望在大城市拥有一套属于自己的体面、舒适的栖身之所的人来说，高昂的房价是他们无法承受的负担。鉴于这一状况，政府近来采取了一系列的措施来防止房价过快增长，包括提高利率及增加房产税等。目前，这些措施在部分城市已经取得了初步的成效。 6.如今，越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下：首先，大学 生把在校的大多数时间都用在了专业学科学习上，只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次，大学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈，这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此，强烈建议大学生在课余时间做一兼职工作，以积累相关的工作经验。 7. 旅游业是现代发展最快的产业之一。的确，旅游业的增长率通常超过全球经济的增长率。旅游业发展成为一个大规模的产业，依靠的是快速廉价的现代化交通工具。例如，国际旅游业发展最快的时期正是航空运输业的发展时期。 旅游业不仅有利于航空公司、旅馆、餐饮、出租车等行业，而且还有利于许多商业机构，甚至有利于旅游商品的制造业。旅游业不是一个单一性行业，而是由向游客提供各种服务的

参考答案 1. Originated from Beijing some 200 years ago during the Qing Dynasty, Beijing Opera is a performing art that embraces opera performance, singing, music, dancing and martial arts. Since Mei Lanfang, the grand master of Peking Opera, visited Japan in 1919, it has become more and more popular with people all over the world. Peking Opera House of Beijing has been invited to perform in many countries and highly appreciated by foreign audiences. The performance has made an outstanding contribution to Sino-foreign cultural exchange and to the promotion of friendly association of peoples in the world. 解析：第一句中的起源于200年前清朝时期的北京可提前翻译，用过去分词作状语的结构，既符合英语的表达习惯，有突出后面主句的含义。此外，汉语的“的”字句可以转换为英语的定语从句，因此主句可以简化成“集---于一体的表演艺术”时，翻译时把“表演艺术”提前，把“的”字句转化为that 引导的定语从句。“集---于一体”可以理解为“包含”，不必逐字翻译。 2. The Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, is one of the traditional festivals in China. According to Chinese lunar calendar, the 15th day of the eighth month is the exact midst of autumn, so it is called the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Festival is an evening celebration (名词短语代替动词被动句，避免与前句的被动句重复)when families gather together to light lanterns, eat moon cakes and appreciate the round moon.

The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training. Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce. And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience. 难点精析 1.抱怨很难找到好工作：翻译为complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job。其中“抱怨做某事”用句型complain about doing sth.表示，having great difficulties in finding a good job表示“找工作有困难”，用到了句型have difficulties in doing sth.。 2.只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训：翻译为it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training。……只有当才??用强调句型it is only when…that…表示。， 3.导致：翻译为results in,同义短语有lead to和bring about，但是表示不好的结果时一般用短语result in。 4.强烈建议：翻译为it is highly suggested that...，其中highly suggested也可以用strongly recommended 替换，都表示“强烈建议做某事”。 5.积累相关的工作经验：翻译为accumulate relevant working experience.
