努力做…：make an effort to do 其中effort既可数也不可数也可以说make efforts/every effort /an effort to do sth

限制看电视的时间：reduce/limit one’s screen time 词伙

直译看电视的时间错误记住词或表达screen time

英文翻译练习作业

英文翻译练习（一） The status of Philosophy in Chinese culture has always been regarded as a comparison with that of religion in other cultures. In China, Philosophy is the concerned field by each educated one. Long time ago in China, a person would firstly accept enlightened education in Philosophy if he could be given education. Children should read the Analects, Mencius, The great Learning, The Doctrine of mean once they entered school. The Four Books were regarded as the most important documents after Song(regarded as “new Confucianism”in west).When children began to learn words, the commonly used textbook is Three Words, in which every three words a group, every six words one sentence, and the even sentence rhyme has rhyme, easy to read aloud and easy to remember. In fact, this book is used to learn words for Chinese children. The first sentence of Three Words “Man’s nature is good at birth.” Is the basic idea of philosophy of Mencius.

Reasons for the Excellence of US Higher Education By Chuck M.Ves Excellence extends beyond individual scholars and in stitutions it extends to systems. A basic question I have been asked innumerable times, especially when traveling abroad, is, Why is Americas system of higher education so good? It is, as has been said all too often, the envy of the world. I think there are seven primary reasons for the excellence of US higher education relative to that in other countries: We have a broad diversity of institutions ranging from small liberal arts colleges to Ivy League schools, to the great land grant universities, and to somewhat more focused institutions like MIT or Caltech. This diversity provides a wealth of environments and opportunities, from which individual students can select a school that best matches their needs and capabilities. We offer new assistant professors a wide open field of freedom to choose what they teach and the topics of research and scholarship they engage. We reject the hierarchical systems of many other nations in which junior faculty are subservient to, and indeed apprenticed to, senior professors. We therefore enjoy a constant flow of new ideas, passions, and approaches that keep us fresh and robust. In our research universities we meaningfully weave together

Americans are much more likely than citizens of other nations to believe that they live in a meritocracy, i.e. Government by people selected according to merit. But this self-image is a fantasy: America actually stands out as an advanced country in which it matters most who your parents were, the country in which those born on one of society’s lower rungs have the least chance of climbing to the top or even to the middle. And if you ask why America is more class-bound in practice than the rest of the Western world, a large part of the reason is that our government falls down on the job of creating equal opportunity. The failure starts early: in America, the holes in the social safety net mean that both low-income mothers and their children are all too likely to suffer from poor nutrition and receive inadequate health care. It continues once children reach school age, where they encounter a system in which the affluent send their kids to good, well-financed public schools or, if they choose, to private schools, while less-advantaged children get a far worse education. 美国人可能比任何其他国家的人都更相信他们生活在一个精英制度之下，人们推选的政府也是据其优势。然而，这个自我形象是一种幻想：作为先进国家，实际上美国的突出特点是出身至关重要，在这个国度里，来自社会底层的人几乎没有机会爬到社会中层，更不用说社会顶层。如果你要问为什么实际上美国比其他西方国家都要阶级分明，主要原因就是我们的政府在创造公平机会方面的失败。这种不公平很早以前就开始了：在美国，由于社会安全网存在漏洞，这就意味着低收入的母亲和他们的孩子完全有可能存在营养不良，得不到足够的医疗服务。孩子到了上学年龄这种情况也不会得到改观，他们所遇到的体制是富人可以送自己的孩子到资金充足的好的公立学校上学，如果愿意，还可以从送到私立学校上学，而穷人孩子接受的教育却非常差。

你觉得人类已经对睡眠了解得很透彻了，但是仍然有很多人睡不好觉（所以我们需要睡眠十大指南）。一部分问题是，睡眠对我们的健康如此重要，但我们掌握的信息和对它的了解已经过时了。来，让我们把事实弄清楚。下面列举了你可能听说过的有关睡眠的十件事，这些都不是完全正确的。 You’d think the human race would have sleep down to a science by now, but many of us are still sleeping poorly (and so we need top 10 guides to getting better sleep). Part of the problem is we have outdated information and beliefs about this all-important health need. Let’s set the facts straight. Here are 10 things you might have been told about sleep but aren’t completely t rue. 10. 睡得越多越好 10. More Sleep Is Better for You 睡太多可能会导致睡眠过度。每个人需要的睡眠时间都不一样，且会随着年龄增长而变化。哈佛大学研究员发现，睡得过多（9个小时以上）和睡眠质量差有关。所以不要以睡得更久为目标——即便是在周末，而是要力图提升睡眠质量。 There could be such a thing as too much sleep. The amount of sleep we need varies by person and also changes as we age. Harvard researchers found that a lot of sleep (9 hours or more) is linked with poor sleep quality. So don’t aim for more sleep—even on the weekends. Aim for better sleep. 9. 酒精有助于入睡 9. Alcohol Helps You Sleep 人们过去常在睡前喝酒，大多数人都会在酒精作用下很快入睡，但是，酒精也会导致你在夜间醒来多次，破坏睡眠质量。考虑一下睡前喝点无酒精的啤酒吧。 Alcohol, the original nightcap, can help most people fall asleep. However, it also can cause you to wake up more during the night, wrecking your sleep quality. Consider drinking non-alcoholic beer before bed instead. 8. 如果半夜醒来，要躺在床上直到再次睡着 8. If You Wake Up in the Middle of the Night, Lie in Bed Until You Eventually Fall Back Asleep 半夜醒来最糟心了，但我们都会遇到。我们都希望能很快再次入睡，所以我们会躺在床上期待着分分钟能睡着。如果，过了15分钟后还没有睡着，大多数专家建议我们应该起床做一些不太刺激的体力活或脑力活。也不要看表几点了。 Waking up in the middle of the night is the pits, but it happens to all of us. We all hope to quickly fall back asleep, and so we tend to stay in bed hoping it’ll happen any minute now. If that doesn’t happen, though, within 15 minutes, most experts recommend getting out of bed to do something that occupies our bodies and brains without overstimulating us. Try not to check the clock either. 7. 失眠患者入睡困难 7. Insomniacs Have Difficulty Falling Asleep 失眠是很复杂的睡眠障碍。难以入睡只是四大症状之一。根据美国国家睡眠基金会，其它症状是：醒得过早、醒来以后难以再次入睡、经常中途醒来、醒来之后疲惫无力。你可以采取一些措施减轻失眠和其它睡眠问题。但治疗长期失眠的最有效的方法不是药；认知行为治疗的效果也许会更持久一些。 Insomnia is a complex sleep disorder. Difficulty falling asleep is just one of its four symptoms. The others, according to the National Sleep Foundation are waking up early and not being able to fall back asleep, waking often, and waking up feeling unrefreshed. There are things you can do to alleviate insomnia and other sleep problems. The best treatment for the long-term usually isn’t

《商务翻译》第1次翻译练习及参考译文（一）句子翻译练习 1.Nippon Steel Corp. and Shanghai Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., China’s largest steelmaker, signed an agreement to set up a joint venture to manufacture sheet steel for automobiles. 2.Buyers have to bear all risks of the goods from the time when they shall have effectively passed the ship’s rail at the port of shipment. 3.The two airlines plan to use the loans mainly to finance their planned capital investment and bond redemptions for the first half of fiscal 2009. 4.The Bank of Japan decided to implement special loans to the bank to enable it to maintain sufficient cash flow. 5.Currently, cell phone users are required to change the phone numbers if they switch their cell phone service provider. 6.We all understand that Chinese slippers are very popular in your market on account of their superior quality and competitive price. 7.Customer value is the unique combination of benefits received by target buyers, such as quality, price, convenience, on-time delivery, and both before-sale and after-sale service. 8.The European Union and other seven nations were determined to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports if Washington refused to abide by the WTO decision. 9.Executives of the two companies repeatedly held talks to consider tie-ups limited to product development and sales activities. 10.The critical issue is how to expand the sale of cultivation in order to streamline the farming management and enhance its international competitiveness. （二）篇章翻译练习 These are tough times for Wal-Mart, America’s biggest retailer. Long accused of wrecking small-town America and condemned for the stinginess of its pay, the company has lately come under fire for its meanness over employees’ health-care benefits.The charge is arguably unfair: the firm’s health cover age, while admittedly less extensive than the average for big companies, is on a par with other retailers’. But bad publicity, coupled with rising costs, has stirred the Bentonville giant to action. Wal-Mart is making changes that should shift the ground i n America’s health-care debate. One strategy is to slash the prices of many generic, or out-of-patent, prescription drugs. Wal-Mart recently announced that its Florida stores would sell a list of some 300 generic drugs at $4 for a month’s supply; other st ates will follow. That is above cost but far less than the prices charged by many pharmacy chains, which get profits from fat margins on generics. Wal-Mart’s critics dismiss the move as a publicity stunt. The list of drugs includes only 143 different medicines and excludes many popular generics. True, but short-sighted. Wal-Mart has transformed retailing by using its size to squeeze suppliers and passing the gains on to consumers. It could do the same with drugs. Target, another big retailer, has already announced that it will match the new pricing. A “Wal-Mart effect” in drugs will not solve America’s health-costs problem: generics account for only a small share of drug costs, which in turn make up only 10% of overall health spending.But it would help. (High risk, high reward (excerpt), The Economist, Oct 12th 2006)
