敬茶礼仪

当今社会，客来敬茶已经成为人们日常社交和家庭生活中普遍的往来礼仪。俗话说:酒满茶半。上茶时应以右手端茶，从客人的右方奉上，并时带微笑。当然，喝茶的客人也要以礼还礼，双手接过，点头致谢。品茶时，讲究小口品饮，其妙趣在于意会而不可言传。另外，可适当称赞主人茶好。总之，敬茶是国人礼仪中待客的一种日常礼节，也是社会交往的一项内容，不仅是对客人、朋友的尊重, 也能体现自己的修养(self-cultivation)。 翻译：

丁克家庭

中国有一句俗语叫做“不孝有三，无后为大”。但现在，很多时尚的年轻夫妇选择不生育孩子的生活方式，组建了丁克家庭。很多夫妻担心无法给孩子提供优越的生活条件，选择成为丁克家庭。现在，孩子的教育费用比过去高很多。在大城市，送孩子上好一点的幼儿园要花费巨资，重点中小学的学费更高。还有一些夫妻成为丁克家庭是迫不得已。当他们做好准备生育孩子时，已经错过了最佳生育年龄。 译文：

A popular saying has it that “There are three forms of unfilial conduct, of which the worst is to have no descendants.”But now, it is quite fashionable for many young couples to choose a lifestyle without kids and organize the DINK family. Some couples who choose DINK family are fearful that they cannot provide favourable living conditions for children. Nowadays, the cost of educating a child is much higher than that of the past. In a big city, to send a child to a better kindergarten takes a large amount of money and the key primary or secondary schools are even more expensive. Some couples who have chosen DINK family are obliged to do so. When they make preparations for having a baby, it is a pity that they have missed the most fertile years. 翻译词汇：

中国神话故事

尽管中国古代神话(mythology)没有十分完整的情节，神话人物也没有系统的家谱(genealogy)，但它们却有着鲜明的东方文化特色，其中尤为显著的是它的尚德精神(the spirit of esteeming virtue)。这种尚德精神在与西方神话特别是希腊神话比较时，显得更加突出。在西方神话尤其是希腊神话中，对神的褒贬标准多以智慧、力量为准则，而中国古代神话对神的褒贬则多以道德为准绳。这种思维方式深植于中国的文化之中。几千年来，这种尚德精神影响着人们对历史人物的品评与现实人物的期望。 译文：

Although ancient Chinese mythology does not have relatively complete plot and mythological figures don't have systematic genealogy, they have distinct features of oriental culture, among which the spirit of esteeming virtue is particularlysignificant.When compared with Western mythology, especially Greek mythology, this spirit of esteeming virtue is even more prominent.In Western mythology, especially Greek mythology,the criteria for judging whether a god is good or not are mostly the god's wisdom and strength,while in ancient Chinese mythology, the criterion lies in morality. This way of thinking is deeply rooted in Chinese culture.For thousands of years, this spirit of esteeming virtue has affected people's comments on historical figures and expectations of real people.

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

在某些情况下礼貌原则不太适用。比如，当说话者与听话者进行互动时，交换信息对双方同等重要。他们之间的交谈将是直接的，此时礼貌原则就要退居二线。 参考翻译:

There are some situations where politeness can take a back seat. For example, when the speaker and the hearer are engaged in a collaborative activity and the exchange of.information is equally important to both of them, politeness would be given less consideration and the language they use tends to be direct and straightforward.

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

这本文集里的文章风格完全一致。在对语言的理解， 采用近来的哲学和语言学的方法了解个中含义这方面，这些文章向我们展示了某些“前沿”话题。“前沿”在这里有两层意思。其一：所讨论的话题都是现今思想与学术上比较前瞻性的东西。其二：对这些问题我们不太清楚或理解不够。我们所要做的就是尽可能地针对这些“前沿”话题提出尖锐成效的问题。 因而，在这本书里有些文章探讨的是在文学作品中的各种明暗关系，有些则是关于人们从未涉足的历史话题， 或是语言流和内部语言的结构。“前沿”话题的目的还在于：让人们注意到这些文章的评论和例子仅限于多种学科领域交叉的区域。文章中包括一些既有哲学性又有文学性的观点。最初关于文本现状的评论涉及政治和社会学。好几篇类似的文章都试图去阐释在语言学，诗歌和心理分析中的解读技巧三方面有所重叠而且颇为复杂的部分。 参考翻译:

The essays in this collection are composed entirely in this vein. Within the general field of the understanding of language, of the more recent philosophic and linguistic ways of approaching the meaning of meaning, they try to set out certain “frontier” topics. The word “frontier” has two relevant senses. The topics discussed are at the forward edge of current thought and scholarship. They are not yet clearly or fully understood. And what needs to be done is to formulate questions about them in as sharp and fruitful a way as possible. Thus, there are papers in this book on the relations, reflected or obscured in literature, and on the virtually unexplored subject of the history and formal structure of inward speech, of the language-stream we direct towards ourselves. “Frontier” also aims to suggest that these essays locate their analyses and examples at those points where different disciplines and areas of study meet The essay on difficulty deals with considerations which are simultaneously philosophical and literary. The initial comment on the current status of texts touches on political and sociological motifs In several of these papers，there are attempts to clarify somewhat the intricate overlaps between linguistics，poetics and techniques of decipherment developed in psychoanalysis.

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

我认为个人的工作效力(以及对工作的满意度)的关键在于要了解是什么动机激励人们在工作时达到最高效率或最满意的状态。当然，这取决于我们自己要寻求机会来满足利用激励因素。当一项工作再也不能激励我们进步时，也就是该挪窝跳槽之日了。每种工作都具有生命周期，因此，要对你所干的工作做出准确的判断和评价以决定它是否仍是你想继续留守的地方。考虑如下几个因素。 参考翻译：

I believe the key to personal effectiveness at work(and to job

satisfaction,also)is knowing what motivates us to perform at our best.It's then up to us to seek opportunities to fulfill these motivations.When a job no longer motivates us,it's time to move on.Jobs have lifecycles,so take stock of where you are and decide if that's where you want to be.Consider the following.

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

在一段时间里，动力的发展一直是衡量进步和国家在技术上竞争的主要尺度。首先在海上，接着在铁路上，然后在公路上，后来在天空，最后在太空，越来越快的运动被视为一件无需担忧的好事，同时，以某种模糊的方式，越来越快的运动被看成是更充分理解世界的一把钥匙。 【参考翻译】

Advances in motive power were for a long while the main way in which progress and national competition in technology were measured.First at sea,then on the railways,then on the roads,in the air and finally in space,more and more rapid movement was seen as an carefree good and also,in some vague way,as a key to a fuller understanding of the world.

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

每当我和朋友在乡间的时候，我知道随时随刻，除非雨真下到头上，某君必然会突然说道，“散步去!”其口气之强硬，是其他任何情况下都见不到的。人们总以为，去散步的想法是与生俱来的尊贵与高尚。有如此念头的人觉得，每当他看到有人舒舒服服坐在椅子上看上，他

就有权力将散步的愿望加诸其身。对于一个老朋友，简单地说声“不”倒也省事，但对于一般相识，你就必须找出一个借口。 【参考翻译】

Whenever I am with my friends in the countryside,I know at any time,unless it rains,someone would suddenly say to me“go and take a walk”.The way he speaks is so strong that it is rarely seen in other circumstances.People always hold it that the very idea of taking a walk goes with inborn dignity and nobility.For people having that idea in mind,when he sees others sitting comfortably in a chair and reading,he would think that he has the power to impose the wish of taking a walk on the one seated.While an old friend would take a simple “No”for an answer,but not the ordinary acquaintance,you have to find some excuse.

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

互生最叫我们纪念的是他做人的态度。他本来是一副铜筋铁骨，黑皮肤衬着那一套大布之衣，看去像个乡下人。他什么苦都吃得，从不晓得享用，也像乡下人。他心里那一团火，也像乡下人。那一团火是热，是力，是光。由他不爱多说话，但常常微笑;那微笑是自然的，温暖的。在他看，人是可以互相爱着的，除了一些成见已深，不愿打开窗户说亮话。的。他对这些人却有些憎恶，不肯假借一点颜色。世界上只有能憎的人才能爱;爱憎没有定见，只是毫无作为的脚色。公互生觉得青年成见还少，希望最多;所以愿意将自己的生命一滴不剩而献给他们，让爱的宗教在他们中间发荣滋长，让他们都走向新世界去。 参考翻译：

What wag most memorable about Husheng was his attitude toward life. He was as strong as a man ofsteel, his dark complexion set off by clothes of coarse cloth, looking like someone from the countryside.He could withstand any hardship and never sought ease and comfort. In this respect he was like acountryman, too. Again like a countryman, he had a heart as warns as fire radiating warmth, power andlight. He was a man of few words, but of all smiles. His smile was natural and friendly. In his view,people could love each other, except those with deep prejudices and those who could not bring themselvesout in the open. He hated these people, and to them he wouldn't show anything like gentleness. In thisworld, only those who could hate could love. Those who did not know what to love and what to hatewere useless people. Hussheng thought that young people had little prejudice but lots of future promise, sohe was willing to devote his life to them without reservation, letting the religion of love grow and flourishamong them so that they could all go to a new world.

如今，中国正步入老龄化社会，因此独生子女一代面临着巨大的工作和生活压力。中国政府开始适当调整计划生育政策，允许一些家庭在特殊情况下生育二胎。但调查显示，很多夫妻迫于不断加重的经济压力，放弃生育二胎。因此，要从根本上解决老龄化的问题不能依靠出生率的上升，最有效的办法是建立有效的社会保障制度。 【精彩译文】

Nowadays, China is stepping into the aging society. Therefore, the only-child generation is facing enormous pressure both from work and life. The Chinese government has begun to adjust the family planning policy and allows some families to have a second child under certain circumstances. However, the survey shows that some couples abandon to have a second child due to the increasing financial burden. Thus, in order to solve the aging problem, the basic thing is not relying on the increase of birth rate. The best solution is to establish an effective social security system. 【翻译词汇】 步入 step into

中国的官方语言普通话在美国的学校中突然热起来。由于中国经济在21世纪的快速发展，美国的公立和私立学校纷纷在外语课程中加入汉语这一科目，或将已有的汉语教学项目进行扩展。据统计，在美国的学校中，有5万名孩子在学习汉语。但推动汉语项目的发展不是没有遇到困难。由于缺乏受过专业训练、持有证书的教师，一些学校很难加入汉语教学的竞争。当学校聘用教师时，它们通常直接从中国招聘，这种方式为文化冲突埋下了隐患。 【精彩译文】

Mandarin, the official language of China, is suddenly hot in American schools. With the rapid development of China’s economy in the 21th century, both public and private schools in America are scrambling to add Mandarin to their curricula of foreign languages or expanding Chinese language programs already in place. By some estimates, as many as 50 000 children nationwide are taking Mandarin in American schools. To develop Chinese-language programs has met some difficulties. A shortage of professionally trained teachers with certificates has made it difficult for some schools to join the competition. When schools need to employ teachers, they often recruit them from China directly, which is a hidden trouble for culture clash. 【翻译词汇】

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

然而，很少有人从书中去了解读书可以给与我们什么东西。通常，我们在读书时思路不清，心怀抵触，要求小说应该真实，要求诗歌应该虚假，要求传记应该吹捧，要求史书应该执行我们的各种偏见。如果读书能够摒除所有这些先人之见，那将是值得赞赏的开始。 参考翻译

Yet few people know what books can give us.Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds,asking of fiction that it shall be true,of poetry that it shall be false,of biography that it shall be flattering,of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices.If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read,that would be an admirable beginning.

最近，一些地方大学开始将方言列为某些学生的必修课程，学生们要学习当地方言，然后被评分以作为毕业的依据之一。一方面，支持此种做法的人认为，将方言列为必修课可防止其消失，从而使当地传统文化和文化多样性得以弘扬，同时城市独特的个性得以保留。另一方面，反对此种做法的人争论说，当地学生与外地学生相比有很多绝对优势，因此将方言列为必修课会引起教育不公平的问题。而且，将方言列为必修课程还会引起一些其他问题，如教材使用、师资问题和考试标准等。在我看来，方言作为传统文化不可缺少的一部分和一种交流工具，可以让学生自愿学习和使用，而不是强制完成。 【精彩译文】

Recently, it has been practiced by some local universities that dialect is made a compulsory course for some students, under which students are subject to learning the local dialect and then graded as one of the judging factors for them to graduate. On the one hand, people approving the practice maintain that it will help to prevent the dialect from extinguishing so that the local traditional culture and the cultural diversity can be enhanced, and the unique urban identity can be preserved simultaneously. On the other hand, people in opposition to the practice contend that it will give rise to the appearance of educational inequality, for the local students will enjoy absolute advantages over those from other places. Moreover, the inclusion of dialect in compulsory courses will bring forth other problems like teaching material, teachers and examination standards. As far as I am concerned, dialects, as an indispensable part of local traditional culture as well as a tool for communication, can be acquired and used voluntarily, not compulsorily. 【翻译词汇】

随着中国经济迅速发展到新的高度，中国目前已经进入了大规模消费时代，中国民众的购买力随着中国市场经济的发展而迅速增长。因此，那些追求物质生活的人们只要有购买力，就不可避免地会购买奢侈品。一项报告显示，中国的奢侈品消费总额占全球市场份额的四分之一，且位居世界第二，仅次于日本。然而，从消费观念方面来讲，很多中国的消费者还处在“炫耀性消费”的阶段，这是一种不健康的状态。奢侈品不应该是炫耀的手段，或者是与权力、财富和社会关系相关的标志。 【精彩译文】

As China has achieved new heights in its economy and recently entered an era of mass consumption, the purchasing power of Chinese people is rising along with the development of market economy. Therefore, it is inevitable that people who pursue material life buy luxuries as long as they can afford. According to a report, the total consumption of luxuries in China accounted for a quarter of the global market share and ranked second in the world after Japan. However, in regard to consumption concept, a large number of Chinese consumers are still in the stage of “conspicuous consumption”, which is unhealthy. Luxuries should not be the tools of showing off or signs associated with power, wealth and social ties. 【翻译词汇】

泰山称东岳，以“五岳独尊”的盛名享誉古今。按照“五行学说”，东方属木，主生发，有生命之源、万物之本的含义。这就是古代帝王通常在自己登基或晚年时到泰山封禅祭拜的原因。泰山拔地通天，气势磅礴，汉语又有“稳如泰山”、“重于泰山”之说。1987年，联合国教科文组织将泰山列为世界自然与文化遗产。 【参考译文】

Mount Tai, called “East Yue”, has a great reputation for the most important mountain of the Five Holy Mountains. According to the theory of five elements, the East belongs to mu, which means liveliness. Therefore, the East is a place where nature regulated and adjusted its procedures. This explains why important emperors made pilgrimages mostly to Mount Tai when they were crowned or in their later years. It is a symbol of loftiness and might, hence, there are the Chinese idioms: “as firm as Mount Tai” and “as weighty as Mount Tai”. Mount Tai was proclaimed world natural and cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1987.

赵州桥坐落在洨河上，距离赵县南部约2.5公里。这座桥是在公元605年至公元616年建造的。赵州桥是由中国著名的匠师李春设计的，是用石头建造的，长50.82米，宽10米，还有一个不可思议的弧形桥洞，高7.23米，跨度为37.35米。桥上的石头栏杆和柱子上雕刻着美丽的龙凤图案。这座桥是一座空腹式的圆弧形石拱桥，两边有两个小拱，这是中国最早的拱桥之一，在中国桥梁建筑史上占有重要的地位，让游客和工程师们都很感兴趣。 Zhaozhou Bridge was built on the Jiao River about 2.5 kilometers away from the south of Zhaoxian county. The bridge was constructed in AD 605-616. Designed by a well-known Chinese mason, Li Chun, it’s made of stone, 50.82 meters long and 10 meters wide, with an unusual arch that is 7.23 meters high with a span of 37.35 meters. The stone railing and columns on the bridge were carved with beautiful dragon and phoenix designs. One of the earliest Chinese arch bridges with a long open-spandrel arch in the middle and two small arches on each side, this bridge occupies an important place in the history of Chinese bridge building and has been of interest to tourists and engineers alike. 【翻译词汇】

请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

切勿对作者颐指气使，努力去适应他。要与他合作，合伙创作。如果从一开始就踌躇不前，甚至横加批评，你只会阻碍自己从所读书籍中获取最大的价值，相反，如果你尽可能敞开心扉，你就能从最初语句中的曲折起伏捕捉到几乎难以察觉到的信号和暗示，从而直面一位不同寻常的人。 参考翻译

Do not dictate to your author,try to become him.Be his fellow-worker and accomplice.If you hang back,and reserve and criticize at first,you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read.But if you open your mind as widely as possible,then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fineness,from the twist and turn of the first sentences,will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other.
