汉英翻译期末复习重点段落翻译

One afternoon, on my way to school, I got on a bus. There were few people inside. Just at that time, a woman got up from her seat to buy ticket and a young man standing by took her seat, assuming she was getting off. As the woman returned, she was angry to see her seat taken and hissed: “Someone occupies the nest eagerly but lays no egg!” Hearing this, the young man stood up to offer the seat to the woman, retorting: “I’m really sorry. Now you can have your nest and lay your eggs.” Tall Hat

To give someone a tall hat is a common saying which means to flatter someone.

There were two disciples who, before going away to take up their first appointments, went to call on their teacher together. Said the teacher:

“Nowadays, it doesn’t pay to be straightforward in what one says. Take my

advice for your own good: Give a tall hat to whomever you meet.”

“Our teacher is right,” said one of the disciples. “At the present time there are

indeed very few people like our teacher who do not like tall hats.”

At that the teacher’s face lit up with pleasure. On their way out, that disciple said

to the other: “I’ve just given away one tall hat.” Rain

Two men were drinking wine at a wineshop. After finishing the last bottle between them, they sat there chatting with no intention of leaving. Feeling tired, the owner of the wineshop made a feint of looking at the sky and said: “Looks like rain.”

On hearing this, the two men said: “Since the rain is coming, we’d better wait till it clears up.”

After a while, the owner again said: “Now, it’s stopped raining.” “Well,” said they, “since it’s stopped raining, there’s no hurry to leave.” A Big Mouth

There were two men much given to braggart language. One of them boasted: “In our village we have a giant whose head touches the sky when he stands up.” The other had this to say: “In our village we have a bigger man whose upper lip reaches to the sky while his lower lip rests on the ground.” “Then where is his body supposed to be?” inquired the first man. “Well,” replied the other, “his big mouth is the only thing that

one can see.” 守株待兔

宋人有耕者，田中有株，兔走触株，折颈而死。因释其而守株，冀复得兔，兔不可复得，而身为宋国笑。

Wait for a Windfall/Trust in Chance and Strokes of Luck

1. During the Warring States Period, there was a farmer of the State of Song. One day he saw a hare run into a tree located in his farm land, its neck broken, and then it died. Hoping to get more hares, he laid down his farm tool, standing by the stump, waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it. But nothing turned up as he had expected. He became a laughingstock of the people of the State of Song.

2. There was a farmer in the State of Song. Once a hare scampered through his farmland, bumped into a tree, and broke its neck. Dreaming about picking up another hare, the farmer set his farm tools aside and kept waiting under the tree. Nothing did he get but ridicule from all his folks. 郑人买履

郑人有欲买履者，先自度其足，而置之其坐。至之市，而忘操之。已得履，谓曰：“吾忘持度。”返归取之。及返，市罢，遂不得履。人曰：“何不试之以足 曰：“宁信度，无自信也。” 1. Buying Shoes

Once there was a man of the State of Zheng who wanted to buy a pair of shoes. Before going to the market, he measured the length and width of his foot, and put the size-marker on his seat. He didn’t realize that he had forgot to bring it until he arrived at the market. Holding the shoes in his hand, he signed.〝Pity I forgot to bring the scale.〞So he went back for it. It was too late for him to get the shoes when he returned to the market, because it had been closed. “Why not try them on with your feet?” asked an on looker. “I’d rather believe in my scale than trust my feet!” he answered. 2. Of Measurements and My Own Feet

A man in the State of Zheng wanted to buy a pair of shoes. He measured his own feet

but left the measurements on his seat when headed for the fair. Only when he stood by the shoe stall did he realize his negligence. \said he. He went home for them and then back again only to find that the fair had already closed. At last, he did not get his shoes. People asked him:\

He replied: \rather believe in the measurements. /I find measurements more trustworthy.\苛政猛于虎

孔子过泰山侧。有妇人哭于墓者而哀。夫子式而听之，使子路问之，曰：“子之哭也，壹似重有忧者。”而曰：“然，昔者吾舅死于虎，吾夫又死焉，今吾子又死焉。”夫子曰：“何为不去也？”曰：“无苛政。”夫子曰：“小子识之，苛政猛于虎也！”

1. Tyranny is More Ferocious than a Tiger

Once Confucius passed by the Mount Tai，and he saw a broken –hearted woman wailing in front of a tomb. Rising to his feet and resting his hands on the handrail of the wagon, he listened attentively, and ordered Zi Lu, one of his disciples, to look into the matter. “Judging from your crying manner, you seem to be striker with new grief. What has happened?” asked Zi Lu. The woman answered, “My uncle fell a prey to a tiger, so did my husband. Now my son has died off from a tiger too.” “Why not choose to leave here?” wondered Confucius. “Because there’s no tyranny here,” said the woman. On hearing this, Confucius remarked, “Remember this, son, Tyranny is more ferocious than a tiger!”

2. Tyranny is More Terrifying than Tigers

Confucius saw a woman wailing mournfully in front of tombs at the foot of Mountain Tai. Gripping the front rail and listening, he ordered to pull up the carriage. Zilu was sent to her and asked: \pain and sorrow filled your voice. Something truly disastrous happened, didn't it?\The woman wept out: \My father-in-law had been killed by a tiger, and then my husband. Worse still, it preyed upon my son this time!\was her reply. Confucius sighed to his disciples: \and bear in mind, more

terrifying than a tiger is tyranny!\愚公移山

中国古代有个寓言，叫做“愚公移山”。说的是古代有一位老人，住在华北，名叫北山愚公。他的家门南面有两座大山挡住他家的出路，一座叫做太行山，一座叫做王屋山。愚公下决心率领他的儿子们要用锄头挖去这两座大山。有个老头子名叫智叟的看了发笑，说是你们这样干未免太愚蠢了，你们父子数人要挖掉这样两座大山是完全不可能的。愚公回答说：我死了以后有我的儿子，儿子死了，又有孙子，子子孙孙是没有穷尽的。这两座山虽然很高，却是不会在增高了，挖一点就会少一点，为什么挖不平呢？愚公批驳的智叟的错误思想，毫不动摇，每天挖山不止。这件事感动了上帝，他就派了两个神仙下凡，把两座山背走了。现在也有两座压在中国人民头上的大山，一座叫做帝国主义，一座叫做封建主义。中国共产党早就下了决心，要挖掉这两座山。我们一定要坚持下去，一定要不断地工作，我们也会感动上帝的。这个上帝不是别人，就是全中国的人民大众。全国人们大众一齐起来和我们一道挖这两座山，有什么挖不平呢？ The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains

There is an ancient Chinese fable called “The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains”. It tells of an old man who lived in northern China long, long ago and was known as the Foolish Old Man of North Mountain. His house faced south and beyond his doorway stood the two great peaks, Taihang and Wangwu, obstructing the way. He called his sons, and hoe in hand they began to dig up these mountains with great determination. Another greybeard, known as the Wise Old Man, saw them and said derisively, “How silly of you to do this! It is quite impossible for you few to dig up those two huge mountains.” The Foolish Old Man replied, “When I die, my sons will carry on; when they die, there will be my grandsons, and then their sons and grandsons, and so on to infinity. High as they are, the mountains cannot grow any higher and with every bit we dig, they will be that much lower. Why can’t we clear them away?” Having refuted the Wise Old Man’s wrong view, he went on digging everyday, unshaken in his conviction. God was moved by this, and he sent down two angels, who carried the mountains away on their backs. Today, two big mountains lie like a dead weight on the Chinese people. One is imperialism, and the other is

feudalism. The Chinese Communist Party has long made up its mind to dig them up. We must persevere and work unceasingly, and we, too, will touch God’s heart. Our God is none other than the masses of the Chinese people. If they stand up and dig together with us, why can’t these two mountains be cleared away?

北戴河海滨位于秦皇岛西南15公里处,是中国著名的避暑游览胜地.Beidaihe, one of China’s most famous seaside summer resorts, lies to the southwest of Qinhuangdao, 15 kilometers away from it.北戴河海滨南临渤海,北依联峰山,海岸漫长曲折,滩面平缓,沙软潮平,海水清澈,是一处天然海水浴场.更因有海陆风影响,冬无严寒,夏无酷暑,盛夏时平均气温仅23C,白天风从海面吹来,清凉湿润,入夜陆风渐强,凉爽宜人,实为中外游人的避暑胜地.

Facing the Bohai Sea in the south and leaning against the Lianfeng Mount in the north, Beidaihe has a long winding seashore, and a flat and smooth beach, whose sands are short and tides are low and gentle. The fact that the seawater near the beach is crystal-clear enables it to be a natural bathing beach. Moreover, thanks to the sea and land breeze, it’s neither cold in winter nor hot in summer, with the highest daily temperature averaging 23℃ in midsummer. During the daytime cool and moist wind blows from coastal areas to the sea, the wind, cool and soothing, becomes a little bit stronger. All these win its popularity among tourists at home and abroad, and build up its reputation as a summer resort.

北戴河海滨的秀丽风景更是引人入胜.其中的东西联峰山,岗岭连绵,松柏蓊翳,奇石异峰,千姿百态.山前大海横陈,极目无际,山中一幢幢别墅楼阁,掩映在万绿丛中.东联峰山有莲花石,巨石为蕊,四面山石若瓣,恰似一朵莲花;西联峰山上有双石峭立,状如二人私语,称对语石.

The charms of Beidaihe Beach also lie in its enchanting beautiful scenery. Take the East Lianfeng Mount and West Lianfeng Mount. The continuous ridges, the lush pine and cypress trees, the vagarious stones and peaks-all are the manifestations of the beauty of the two mountains. In front of them the sea stretches as far as the eye can

see. On the hill-slopes are villas and tall buildings set off by green leaves in a picturesque fashion. The East Mount has a scenic spot called “Lotus Stone”, which resembles a lotus flower. A huge stone acts as its petals. A pair of rocks rises steeply on the top of the West Mount, and when looked at from a distance, they seem to be two close friends talking in whispers, thus they are named “Whispering Stones”. 孟姜女庙The Mengjiang Temple

孟姜女庙,在山海关以东6.5公里处,始建于明朝万历22年(公元1594年).传说,孟姜女因夫被征修筑长城,万里寻夫,送寒衣来到山海关,后来得悉其夫已死,痛苦不已,长城亦被哭倒,孟姜女也投海而死,后人建庙以示纪念.庙在岗上,登石阶可达。庙内有前后两殿，前殿泥塑孟姜女像，衣素服，面带愁容，凝视南海。后殿供观音，其后有一巨石，上刻“望夫石”三字。石间有小坑，俗传是孟姜女所踏足迹。还有振衣亭，传为孟姜女梳妆和更衣的地方。

The Mengjiang Temple, in commemoration of a legendary woman named “Mengjiang”, is 6.5 kilometers to the east of the Shanhai(Mountain and Sea)Pass. It was built in 1594(the 22nd year of the region of Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty). The legend goes that the woman trudged thousands of miles in order to visit her husband who had been drafted into doing the hard labor of building the Great Wall. She took with her the winter clothing for her husband and arrived at the Shanhai Pass, only to find that her husband had died. She wept her heart out, her tears flooding the Great Wall so that it collapsed. In despair she committed suicide by jumping into the sea. In memory of her death, people built a temple on a hill near the site, with stone steps leading to it. There are two halls in the temple. A clay statue of Mengjiang was placed in the front hall. Dressed in black and white, she looks worried and grieved, gazing at the sea in the south. The back hall is for the worship of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy. Outside the backdoor stands a huge stone, on which an inscription was carved. The inscription reads Wangfushi, which means “the stone on which a woman steps and she stretches her eyes over the sea, yearning for the return of her husband”. A small pit on it is said to be the footprint left by Mengjiang. Beside the stone is a pavilion called “zhenyiting”, a place, according to the legend, where she dresses and makes up.

人间天堂杭州 Hangzhou—Paradise on Earth

杭州是一座有悠久历史的文化名城。“良渚文化”遗址即可证明，在四千多年前，这里已有人类繁衍生息。五代时的吴越国和南宋均曾在此建都，历时237年。现今的杭州，辖市内6个区和7个县。

Hangzhou has a long history as a famous cultural city. The remains of the “Liangzhu Culture” show that our ancestors lived and multiplied in this area as long as 4000 years ago. Besides, Hangzhou served as the capital of empires for 237 years, first as the capital of the Kingdom of Wuyue (907-978) during the Five Dynasties Period, and again as the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279). Now Hangzhou is the capital of Zhejiang Province with six urban districts and seven neighboring counties under its jurisdiction.

杭州素以风景秀丽著称。七百年前，意大利旅行家马可?波罗曾称誉它是“世界上最美丽华贵之城”。

Hangzhou has a reputation for scenic beauty. About 700 years ago, Marco Polo, perhaps the most celebrated Italian traveler, called it “the finest and most magnificent city in the world”.

境内西湖如明镜，千峰凝翠，洞整幽深，风光奇丽。湖上有彩带似的的苏堤、白堤飘落其上。三潭映月、湖心亭、阮公墩三个小岛鼎力湖中。岳庙、西冷印社、曲院风荷、平湖秋月、花港观鱼、柳浪闻莺等风景点，均在湖之周围。 The West Lake is like a mirror, embellished all around with green hills and deep caves of enchanting beauty. The Su Causeway which runs from north to south and the Bai Causeway which runs from east to west look like two colored ribbons floating on the water. The three isles named “Three Pools Mirroring the Moon”, “Mid-Lake Pavilion” and “Ruangong Mound” stand in the lake, adding much charm to the scene. Beauty spots around the West Lake include Yue Fei Temple, Xiling Seal-Engraving Society, Lotus in the Breeze at the Crooked Courtyard, Autumn Moon on Calm Lake, and several parks including “Viewing Fish at the Flower Harbor” and “Listening to Orioles Singing in the Willows”.

环湖耸立的山峰，千姿百态。山上多岩洞，如玉乳洞、紫来洞、黄龙洞、紫云洞，石屋洞、水乐洞、烟霞洞等，洞内景色优美，且多古代石刻。山间多泉，以虎跑、龙井、玉泉为佳；九溪十八涧则以“曲曲环环路，丁丁冬冬泉”著称。此外，还有灵隐寺、六和塔、保俶塔、净慈寺、韬光、云栖等名胜古迹。

Mountain peaks tower around the lake and amaze the visitor with ever-changing aspects of their beauty. Scattered in the adjacent hills are scenic caves and caverns, such as Jade-Milk Cave, Purple Source Cave, Yellow Dragon Cave, Purple Cloud Cave, Stone House Cave, Water Music Cave and the Haze at Sunset Cave. Also among the hills one finds springs everywhere. These are perhaps best represented by Tiger Spring, Dragon Well Spring and Jade Spring. The place called Nine Creeks and Eighteen Gullies is well-known for its twisting paths and murmuring streams. Other scenic sites of historical interest include the Temple of the Soul’s Retreat, the Six Harmonies Pagoda, the Baochu Pagoda, the Monastery of Pure Compassion, the
