1.孔子(Confucius)是春秋时期(the Spring and Autumn Period)的大思想家、大教育家和儒家学派(Confucianism)的创始人,是古代中国人心目中的圣人。孔子的言论和生平活动记录在由他的弟子或再传弟子编成的《论语》(The Analects)一书中。《论语》是中国古代

文化的经典著作。在孔子之后几千年的中国历史上,没有哪一位思想家、文学家和政治家不受《论语》的影响。不研究《论语》,就不能真正把握中国几千年的传统文化。

As a great thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism during the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius is a sage to the ancient Chinese people. His words and life story were recorded by his disciples and their students in The Analects. As an enduring classic of Chinese culture, The Analects has influenced all thinkers, writers and politicians in the thousand years’ Chinese history after Confucius. No scholar could truly understand this long-standing culture or the inner world of the ancient Chinese without this book.

2.大约在两千多年前,中国就出现了蜡染(wax printing)。在中国服饰中,蜡染是一种流传时间长、流行范围大、使用领域广的服装工艺。蜡染是在布匹着色的过程中,以蜂蜡(beeswax)作为防止染色的材料。蜂蜡干了之后,会产生一些裂纹,这些裂纹在染色过程中渗透进靛蓝色,于是形成了如冰花式样的美妙纹理。这样自然天成的纹理可以说是蜡染的灵魂所在。Wax printing appeared in China about 2,000 years ago. Wax printing has long been a widespread technique used in the history of Chinese fashion. During the dyeing process, beeswax is applied to prevent some parts of the cloth form being dyed. When the beeswax dries, it develops cracks, which absorb indigo in the process of dyeing, thus forming the beautiful natural lines resembling breaking ice. These naturally formed lines represent the beauty and soul of wax printing.

3.景泰蓝(cloisonné)是驰名中外的传统工艺,它集青铜艺术、瓷器和雕刻诸种工艺制作技巧于一身,是一门地道的北京绝活。它是收藏家收藏的佳品,也是人们居家使用的精美物品。这项工艺始创于明代景泰年间,初创时的颜色主要是蓝色,故得名“景泰蓝”。到了成化年间,景泰蓝技术进一步成熟,这个时期的作品沉稳凝重又透明灵动,而且铜胎也极为讲究。Cloisonné is a traditional art widely known in and outside China. It is a kind of superb local expertise form of Beijing, which combines the skills of bronze art, porcelain, carving and other types of folk arts. It is deemed valuable in the eyes of collectors, as well as refined ornaments for daily use. The making of cloisonné first appeared during the Jingtai reign of the Ming Dynasty, with the main colour used being blue, hence the name “Jingtai Blue” as it became known later on. By the time of the Chenghua reign, the techniques for making cloisonné were further developed, with products of this period looking heavy and dignified yet not lacking in eloquence or vividness. Moreover, its cast was always made of choice copper.

4.西塘在浙江嘉兴,位于上海和杭州之间。这个占地规模并不大的古镇有着悠久的历史,它初建于春秋时期(the Spring and Autumn Period),位于吴国和越国的交界处。西塘的大致规模在宋代之前就已经形成,今所见西塘著名的桥梁望仙桥(Wangxian Bridge)就是宋代的遗迹。在明清时期,西塘既是远近闻名的鱼米之乡,又是著名的丝绸制造之地,还以制陶业(ceramics)而享誉全国。

Xitang is located in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, between Shanghai and Hangzhou. Though small

in size, this ancient town boasts a long history. It was first built during the Spring and Autumn Period, at the border between the states of Wu and Yue. The present layout had already taken shape before the Song Dynasty, and the famous Wangxian Bridge in Xitang is a legacy of the

Song. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xitang had become a well-known trade centre for farm products, silks and ceramics, all produced in the surrounding areas and famous throughout the country.

5.秧歌舞(Yangko dance)是中国汉族的一种传统民间舞蹈,通常在北方省份表演。秧歌舞者通常穿上明亮多彩的表演服装,他们的表演动作迅速有力。在农历春节、元宵节等节日期间,人们一旦听到锣鼓声,不管外面天气有多冷,他们都会蜂拥到街上观看秧歌舞表演。近年来,中国东北某些城市的老年人自发组织了秧歌队,队员常年通过跳舞来保持健康,同时他们也乐在其中。

The Yangko dance is a traditional folk dance of the Han Chinese, commonly performed in the northern provinces. Yangko dancers usually wear bright and colorful costumes, and their movements are vigorous and quick. During holidays, such as the lunar New Year and the Lantern Festival, as soon as people hear the sound of drums and gongs they swarm into the streets to watch Yangko dance performances, no matter how cold it is outside. In recent years, elderly people in some cities in Northeast China have been organizing themselves into Yangko teams, with the dancers enjoying themselves while keeping fit all year round.

6.中国的青铜器时代(Bronze Age)从夏开始,经历商、西周到春秋时期(the Spring and Autumn Period),前后持续了一千五百多年的时间。大量出土的青铜器物表明,中国创造了灿烂的

青铜文明。这些青铜器物不仅有丰富的政治和宗教内涵,而且还具有很高的艺术价值。今藏于中国历史博物馆的大盂鼎(the Great Ding for Yu)是中国青铜器时代的代表性作品之一。它是西周康王(King Kang)时期的作品,距今大约有三千多年。

The Bronze Age in China lasted more than 1,500 years, from the Xia through the Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties, to the Spring and Autumn Period. Large numbers of unearthed artifacts indicate a high level of ancient bronze civilization in the country. They feature rich political and religious themes, and are of high artistic value. A representative example is the Great Ding for Yu, which is now preserved in the Museum of Chinese History. It was cast about 3,000 years ago during the reign of King Kang of Western Zhou Dynasty.

7.1911 年,中国爆发了历史上的第一次资产阶级革命——辛亥革命(the Revolution of 1911),它推翻了中国封建社会的最后一个朝代——清朝,废除了中国延续了2000 多年的封建帝制,建立了中国的第一个民主共和国——中华民国。民国政府成立以后,要求全国人民都剪掉头上的辫子(queues),选择自己喜欢的发型。至此,在中国延续了280 多年的辫子法令终于被解除。

In 1911, the first bourgeois revolution in Chinese history — the Revolution of 1911 broke out.

The last dynasty of the Chinese feudal society, Qing Dynasty, was over-thrown and the monarch system that had a history of more than 2,000 years was abolished. The Republic of China, the first democratic republic in China, was founded in 1912. After its foundation, the government of Republic of China had required the citizens to cut off their queues and make the haircut they liked. Since then, the wearing-queue order that had lasted for more than 280 years in China has been abolished.

8.出现在中国五代时期的妇女缠足(foot-binding),虽然最初是宫廷舞女为了方便跳舞而采用的一种行为,但由于有人认为脚裹起来更好看,所有很多人就开始效仿起来。到了宋代,封建社会的纲常思想非常严重,受到男尊女卑的封建礼教的影响,女子裹脚的风气被传承下来,并逐渐成为一种习俗。为了与妇女的小脚相适应,宋代还出现了专门为裹足妇女制作的弓鞋(gongxie)。

The practice of foot-binding for women appeared in the Five Dynasties, but in the beginning, it

was only adopted by the court dancers for convenience while dancing. Since people thought the foot-binding made women’s feet look more beautiful, many females rushed to follow suit. By the Song Dynasty, due to the importance of feudal ethical thoughts and influence of the feudal male superiority conception, the practice of foot-binding was inherited and became a custom. In the Song Dynasty, to meet the needs of women’s small feet, a kind of specially designed shoes gongxie was made.

9.据中国古代史书记载,治水有功的大禹通过禅让制接替舜成为部落联盟首领。但大禹死后,他的儿子夏启却破坏禅让的传统,自立为国王,建立了中国历史上第一个奴隶制国家——夏。从此,王位实行世袭制度,中国社会从此步入阶级社会。夏代处在中国社会从原始社会向奴隶社会过渡的时期,社会生活的各个方面依然保存着原始社会的种种痕迹。

According to the Chinese ancient documents, the legendary leader Shun abdicated and handed over his leadership to Da Yu who had made great contribution to controlling the flood of the Yellow River of China. When Da Yu died, his son Xia Qi breached the tradition of demise system and set himself as the king. Xia, the first slavery nation in Chinese history, was founded. Since then, the hereditary system had been practiced. Thus, China stepped into a class society. The Xia Dynasty was a transition from primitive society to slave society. At that time, all aspects of social life still reserved traces of primitive society.

10.北京烤鸭是自封建帝王时代就在北京城流行的著名菜肴,如今它被认为是中国的一道国菜。这道菜以它薄而脆的酥皮,以及厨师们在客人面前片鸭子的真实情形而著称。专门用于制作烤鸭的鸭子在养殖65 天后就被屠宰了,鸭子在烤制前要先用调料腌制(season),然后才送进焖炉或者挂炉。鸭肉通常配上葱(scallion)、黄瓜和甜面酱,用薄饼卷着食用。Peking duck is a famous duck dish that has been popular since the imperial era in Beijing, and is now considered a national dish of China. The dish is prized for the thin, crisp skin with authentic vision of the dish serving sliced in front of the diners by the cook. Ducks bred specially for the dish are slaughtered after 65 days and seasoned before being roasted in a closed or hung oven. The meat is usually eaten with pancakes, scallion, cucumbers and sweet bean sauce.

11.秦始皇是中国历史上一位很有作为的皇帝,他生前动用了大量人力、物力为自己修造陵墓。秦陵兵马俑(Terracotta Warriors and Horses)就是为陪葬这位皇帝而制作的陶兵和陶马。秦始皇陵兵马俑被发现于1974 年。三个兵马俑坑(terracotta figurines pits)占地约20,000 多平方米,8,000 多个与真人真马一般大小的陶俑陶马,排列成整齐的方阵,再现了秦始皇统一中国时兵强马壮的雄伟军阵。秦始皇陵兵马俑被称作世界第八大奇迹。

The first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, known as Qing Shi Huang, made great achievements in Chinese history. While still alive, he mobilized huge manpower and used a great deal of materials to build his tomb. The Terracotta Warriors and Horses were made as burial objects to accompany the emperor in the after world. They were first discovered in 1974. Archaeologists had unearthed some 8,000 lifelike soldiers and horses from three terracotta figurines pits occupying about 20,000 square metres. Standing in formation, they indicate the powerful array of troops of Qin Shi Huang when he unified China. They are regarded as the eighth wonder of the world.

12.筷子是广泛适用于东亚各国的传统餐具。筷子的历史起源于中国古代,最早可以追溯到商代。筷子通常由竹子、塑料、木材或不锈钢制成。第一双筷子可能用于烹饪,拨火而不是作为饮食器具。直到汉代,筷子才开始用作餐具。直到明代,筷子才开始被普遍使用于上菜或者吃饭。然后它们被取名“筷子”,并拥有了今天的形状。

Chopsticks are used as the traditional eating utensils of various East Asian countries. Chopsticks originated in ancient China and dates back to as early as the Shang Dynasty. They are commonly

made of bamboo, plastic, wood or stainless steel. The first chopsticks were probably used for cooking, stirring the fire and not as eating utensils. Chopsticks began to be used as eating utensils during the Han Dynasty. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that chopsticks were widely used for both serving and eating. They then acquired the name kuaizi and the present shape.

13.公元960 年,宋朝建立,后统一了中国大部分地区。宋朝的统治者建立了有效的中央集权制;广泛任用民间的学术文人;地方的军事官员及其党羽都被中央任命的官员所替代。宋朝在城市发展方面是非常显著的,这不单指其在管理上的职能,而且还包括其作为贸易、工业和海上贸易的中心的职能。在文化上,宋朝发展了历史文献、绘画、书法及坚硬光滑的瓷器等。

In 960, Song Dynasty was founded, and later it reunified most of China. The rulers of the Song Dynasty built an effective centralized bureaucracy staffed with civilian scholar-officials. Regional military governors and their supporters were replaced by centrally appointed officials. The Song Dynasty is notable for the development of cities not only for administrative purposes but also as centers of trade, industry and maritime commerce. Culturally, the Song refined historical writings, painting, calligraphy and hard-glazed porcelain, etc.

14.中国科举制度(Chinese Imperial Examination System)是指中国古代官僚机构选拔行政官员的考试制度。古代的中国人要想成为一位官员首先必须通过多种考试。科举考试的历史可以追溯到隋朝,在唐朝得到进一步巩固和完善,在清朝走到了尽头。科举制度在中国已经存在了约1300 年。它对中国古代的社会结构和政治体制有深刻的影响。即使是现代选拔公务员的考试制度也是间接地从科举制度演变而来的。

Chinese Imperial Examination System refers to an examination system of selecting the administrative officials for the ancient Chinese bureaucracy. Ancient Chinese who wanted to be an official had to pass multiple of examinations first. Its history dates back to the Sui Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, the system had been further consolidated and perfected. The system came to an end during the Qing Dynasty. The Imperial Examination System has existed for about 1,300 years in China. It exerts deep influence on social structure and political system in ancient China. Even the modern examination system for selecting civil service staff also indirectly evolved from the imperial one.

15.唐代文化是中国文化的一个高峰。尤其是古典诗歌到唐代发展到全盛时期。在唐代300 余年的历史中,产生的流传于后世的诗歌就有48,900 多首。如此丰富的作品也使2,300 多位诗人在历史上留下了他们的名字。唐诗在创作方法上,现实主义与浪漫主义并举。唐代最著名的诗人是李白和杜甫,他们都是具有世界声誉的诗人,后人将他们合称为“李杜”。The Tang Dynasty witnessed a peak in Chinese culture. Especially, ancient poetry flourished in the Tang Dynasty. In more than 300 years of the Tang Dynasty, some 48,900 poems were handed down and remain widely known today. So many works also made more than 2,300 poets famous in history. As far as the writing technique is concerned, the Tang poetry combined realism and romanticism. The best-known poets of the Tang Dynasty were Li Bai and Du Fu, who are very prestigious in the whole world and people of later generations called both of them as “Li Du”collaboratively.

16.江苏菜,又叫淮阳菜,流行于长江下流区域,以水产作为主要原料,注重原料的鲜味。其雕刻技术十分珍贵,其中瓜雕(melon carving)尤其著名。烹饪技术包括炖、烤、焙、煨(simmering)等。江苏菜的特色是淡、鲜、甜、雅。江苏菜系以其精选的原料,精细的准备,不辣不温的口感而出名。因为江苏气候变化很大,江苏菜系在一年之中也有变化。味道强而不重,淡而不温。

Jiangsu Cuisine, also called Huaiyang Cuisine, is popular in the lower reach region of the Yangtze River. Aquatics as the main ingredients, it stresses the freshness of materials. Its carving techniques are delicate, of which the melon carving technique is especially well-known. Cooking techniques consist of stewing, roasting, baking and simmering, etc. The flavor of Huaiyang Cuisine is light, fresh and sweet and with delicate elegance. Jiangsu Cuisine is well-known for its careful selection of ingredients, its meticulous preparation, and its “not-too-spicy, not-too-bland”taste. Since the climate varies considerably in Jiangsu, the cuisine also varies throughout the year. The flavor is strong but not too heavy; light but not too bland.

17.王安石,北宋宰相、政治家、文学家、江西临川人。1042 年,王安石考中进士,踏上了仕途,从此积极投身于改革大业。他曾给宋仁宗写了一封万字的谏书(remonstrance),主张朝廷全面改革法度,却没有得到重视。直到宋神宗时,王安石才得以有计划制定新的法度,大刀阔斧地展开以富国强兵为目的的变法运动。这就是中国历史上著名的“王安石变法”。Born in Linchuan, Jiangxi province, Wang Anshi was a statesman, poet and prose writer in the Song Dynasty. In 1042, Wang Anshi outstood others in the feudal exam and became a Jinshi, marking his first step in his political career and the beginning of his commitment to the reform. He once wrote a remonstrance of ten thousand characters to Emperor Renzong, advocating an all-out reform of the feudal laws and systems. The letter, however, was neglected. It was not until the reign of Emperor Shenzong that he finally got the opportunity to carry out the reform aimed to strengthen the coun try’s power. This is the famous “Wang Anshi’s Reform” in the Chinese history.

18.秦腔(Qingqiang Opera)起源于唐、宋年间的陕西农村,经明、清两代的发展,演变成现在以“直起直落,慷慨激昂,荡气回肠”为主要特征的表现形式。在陕西境内,根据不同语言特色和生活习惯,秦腔又分为东、中、西、南四路。西安秦腔吸取东、西两路秦腔的长处和京剧等外来剧种的优点,既有高亢激昂、粗犷豪放的风格,又有柔和清丽、精致细腻的格调。

Qinqiang Opera originated in the Tang and Song dynasties from the rural areas of the ancient Shaanxi in China and took shape in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now this folk opera is featured by melodies that do not have many changes yet sound impassioned and soul-stirring. Since the dialects and living habits vary from place to place within Shaanxi province, Qinqiang opera is classified into four schools: the eastern school, the central school, the western school and the southern school. Qinqiang opera performed i n Xi’an has absorbed the merits of the eastern and western schools as well as those of other operas such as Peking opera. Thus it sounds loud and rough sometimes, soft and gentle at other times.

19.根据中国的阴阳五行学说,世界上所有的事物都是由金、木、水、火、土五种元素构成,这五种元素相生相克,白色代表金,绿色代表木,黑色代表水,红色代表火,黄色则代表土。中国社会发展到汉代以后,黄色开始被人所接受,并认为是最尊贵的颜色。唐代以后,服饰制度规定只准皇室穿黄色的服饰,其他人一概不允许。

According to the Chinese thought of yin, yang and the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire and earth), all things in the universe consist of the five elements; there is a phenomenon of mutual promotion and restraint among the five elements. The white stands for metal, the blue for wood, the black for water, the red for fire and the yellow for earth. Since the Han Dynasty in Chinese history, the yellow had been accepted by all people and regarded as the most distinguished colour. By the Tang Dynasty, the clothing system stipulated that all the people were prohibited from wearing yellow clothes except the royal family.

20.张择端是北宋时期的一位宫廷画师,拥有大量杰出作品,但最著名的应当是被后人称为“神品”的《清明上河图》(A River Scene at Qingming Festival)。它是一部写实主义的精品,以当时开封城的景象为题材绘制而成。图中人物多达500 余人,真实地再现了当时开封清明时节的盛况。全图结构完整,描绘准确,被传为稀世珍品。《清明上河图》将那个时代的绘画艺术推向了顶峰。

Zhang Zeduan is a royal painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, he left many outstanding works, but the most renowned one is A River Scene at Qingming Festival. With various scenes in Kaifeng as raw materials, the painting paints more than 500 people and thus is a lively portrayal of Kaifeng on the day of Qingming Festival. So complete in organisation and so vivid in painting, A River Scene at Qingming Festival is deemed as the peak of painting at that time.

21.清朝是中国的最后一个封建王朝。它由满族人(Manchus)建立,是中国历史上第二个由非汉族人创建的统一王朝。满族人以前也被称为女真(Jurchen),他们居住在明朝境内东北部、长城关外。在努尔哈赤(Nurhaci)统一女真各部落并建立了一个独立的部落之后,他们成为了明朝晚期的主要威胁。满族人联合明朝的将军吴三桂打下了北京,并将其作为清朝的首都。在这之后他们继续南下剿灭(subdue)明朝的残余反抗势力。在满族征战中国的过程(1618—1683)中,总共造成了2500 万人丧生。

The Qing Dynasty was the last imperial dynasty in China. Founded by the Manchus, it was the second non-Han Chinese dynasty that ruled the whole country. The Manchus were formerly known as Jurchen, residing in the northeastern part of the Ming territory outside the Great Wall. They emerged as the major threat to the late Ming Dynasty after Nurhaci had united all Jurchen tribes and established an independent one. The Manchu allied with the Ming Dynasty general Wu Sangui to seize Beijing, which was made the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and then proceeded to subdue the remaining Ming’s resistance in the south.

22.明朝是中国历史上最后一个由汉族建立的王朝,历经十二世、十六位皇帝,国祚276 年。明朝初期明太祖朱元璋定都于南京市。1421 年由明成祖朱棣迁都至北京市。明朝是继汉唐盛世后又一个兴盛的中原王朝,也曾是手工业、经济最繁荣的国家之一。《明史》(The History of Ming)认为洪武、永乐在位时期,“治隆唐宋”、“远迈汉唐”。明朝时期,无汉唐之

和亲,无两宋之岁币,天子御国门,君主死社稷,为后世子孙所敬仰。

The Ming Dynasty is the last dynasty established by the Han Chinese in Chinese history. It had 16 emperors of 12 generations in its 276 years. Zhu Yuanzhang, founder of the Ming Dynasty, set its capital in Nanjing in the early years. Emperor Zhudi moved its capital to Beijing in 1421. The Ming Dynasty is a follow-up to the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, when the handicraft industry and economy flourished. The History of Ming suggests that during the reign of Emperor Hongwu and Yongle, the Ming Dynasty was much more developed than the Han, the Tang and the Song dynasties. The Ming Dynasty was never forced to establish marital relationships with neighboring kingdoms like Tang Dynasty, neither did it pay any tribute like the Song did. Emperors in the Ming Dynasty all dedicated to its country and are respected by their descendants.

23.年画(New Year Painting)是中国画的一种,始于古代的门神画(door god painting),在清朝光绪年间正式被称为年画。北宋年间,每逢过年过节家家户户贴年画已成为一种风尚。木板年画历史悠久,堪称中国民间艺术宝库中的一颗明珠。木版年画,顾名思义,就是用木板印出来的年画,不但具有极高的收藏价值,而且还极具观赏性。朱仙镇木板年画和天津杨柳青、山东潍坊、江苏桃花坞年画并称中国四大年画。朱仙镇木版年画采用的是手工木刻制作,制作工艺非常地讲究。

New Year Painting is a kind of Chinese painting originated from ancient door god painting. In the

period of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, it was formally known as New Year Painting. In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a trend to paste new year paintings on New Year festivals and other holidays. The wood panel new year painting has a long history. It can be called a pearl of the treasures of folk art in China. The wood panel new year paintings, as its name implies, are painted with wood panels. They not only have very high artistic value, but also are highly ornamental. Wood panel new year paintings in Zhuxian Town, together with new year painting in Yangliuqing of Tianjin, Weifang of Shandong and Taohuawu of Jiangsu are collectively known as the four famous new year paintings in China. Wood panel new year paintings in Zhuxian Town are made

of hand-made wood and the production process is very demanding.

24.在中国古代社会,官服是权力的象征,历来受到统治阶级的重视。因为明朝皇帝姓朱,所以官员的官服是以大红为主的(紫色从此不在官服中使用),且样式近似唐代圆领服。最有特色的是用“补子”(buzi)表示官员的品级。补子是一块约40-50 厘米的正方形丝绸材料,可织绣上不同的纹样,然后被分别缝缀在官服的胸前和背后。文官的补子用飞禽,武官用走兽,分成九个等级。平常穿的圆领袍衫则凭衣服长短来区分身份,衣服长的人地位高。In ancient China, the official dress was a symbol of power, and was taken seriously by the ruling class of ages. In the Ming Dynasty, as the emperor’s family name was Zhu mea ning red, the official dress was mostly bright red; as a result, the colour purple was no longer used as the colour for the official dress during the period. The Ming official dress looked quite similar to the

round-neck dress in the Tang Dynasty. The “buzi” was the most special characteristic of the Ming official dress, which was used to show the grade of officials. The buzi was a piece of square silk about 40-50cm, which was embroidered with different flower patterns and then sewn to the front part and back part of the official dress. The buzi of the civilian was embroidered with the figure of fowls, and that of the military officer was embroidered with the figures of beasts, which was divided into nine grades. The ordinary round-neck gowns and robes were distinguished according to the length of the dress. The longer the clothes the higher the position.

25.孙权,字(courtesy name)仲谋,今浙江富阳人。15 岁时就开始征战沙场。他是一位善于纳贤的英杰,勇敢果断,选拔官员的标准是唯贤任能。他大胆任用了一批年轻有为的将领,从而帮助孙权成就了一代宏图大业。孙权统治江东50 年,对开发建业和整个江南地区做出了重大贡献。他发展农业,兴修水利,疏浚(dredge)和扩大了秦淮河水道。他还发展了航海事业,派人到夷洲(今台湾省),出使辽东半岛(peninsula)及南海诸国,还为西域僧人建造了金陵的第一座佛寺——建初寺。

Sun Quan, whose courtesy name is Zhongmou, was born in Fuyang, Zhejiang Province. Sun began to fight on the battlefield when he was only 15 years old. Later, when he became a leader, he was brave, decisive and impartial in appointing officials. As a result, a lot of young yet talented men were promoted to important position, which helped Sun a lot in building his kingdom. During his fifty years’ rule, Sun Quan contribute d a lot to the development of Jianye (present Nanjing) and the south China as a whole by developing agriculture, building irrigation projects as well as dredging and widening the waterway of the Qinhuai River. What’s more, he helped to develop China’s navi gation industry by sending off convoys to Yizhou (modern Taiwan Province), Liaodong Peninsula and some island countries around South China Sea. Under his order, the first Buddhist temple which was named Jianchu Temple was built for monks from the Western Regions.

26.祖冲之,429 年生于建康(今南京),他从小就显示出过人的才学。他最伟大的贡献就是把圆周率的数值精确计算到 3.141,592,6 和3.141,592,7 之间。这个数值在当时是世界上最

精准的圆周率数值。直到大约一千年后,欧洲数学家才求得同样的结果。由于祖冲之在计算圆周率方面的重大贡献,圆周率又被称为“祖率”。国际科学界还将月球上的一座环形山(lunarcrater)命名为“祖冲之山”(Tsu Chung-chi)。国际行星中心还以他的名字命名了一颗小行星(asteroid)。这些都是为了纪念这位伟大的科学巨匠。

Born in Jiankang (present Nanjing) in 429, Zu Chongzhi (Tsu Chung-chi) displayed unusual talent from his childhood. Based on others’ achievements, he calculated out that the precise value of πshall be between 3.141,592,6 and 3.141,592,7. This was the most precise approximation at that time and it was not until one thousand years later that a European mathematician came up with the same result. For all his great contribution, π is also called the Zu ratio in honor of Zu Chongzhi. What’s more, the international scientific circle named one lunar crater as “Tsu Chung-chi”. And

the International Planet Centre named one asteroid after his name. All these efforts are done to commemorate this great scientist.

27.编钟(Bianzhong)是中国传统的乐器,由青铜铸成,它由不同的钟依照大小排列。这些钟悬挂在一个巨大的木制钟架上。这些编钟曾被用作和弦乐器(polyphonic musical instruments),其中一些钟的历史可以追溯到2,000 到3,000 年前。迄今为止最重要的一套编钟在挖掘曾侯乙(Marquis Yi)的古墓时出土,它由65 个大小编钟组成,保存完好。曾侯乙编钟铸造于两千五百多年前的战国时代(Warring States),制作精美,总重量达到两千五百多公斤,今天它仍然能够演奏乐曲,在这世界文化史上也是极为罕见的。

Bianzhong is an ancient Chinese musical instrument consisting of a set of bronze bells which are placed by size and hung in an enormous wooden frame. These sets of chime bells were used as polyphonic musical instruments and some of these bells can be dated back to 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. Among the most important sets of Bianzhong discovered are a complete ceremonial set of 65 zhong bells, found in a near-perfect state of preservation during the excavation of the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng. Made in the Warring States about 2,500 years ago, the bells of Marquis Yi of Zeng which feature exquisite workmanship and have a total weight of over 2,500 kilograms canstill be played today, which is rare even in the history of world culture.

28.在英文中,“中国”与“瓷器”是一个词,这说明,很早的时期欧洲人就把中国与瓷器联系在一起的了。瓷器15 世纪时就传入欧洲,在中外交流中占有重要位置。德国卡塞尔郎德(Keisel Randy)博物馆至今还藏有一件中国明代青瓷(blue-and-white)碗。历史上,中国和亚洲的其他国家以及欧洲国家的瓷器交易极为频繁,而且数量巨大。据今人研究,在1602-1682 年间,仅荷兰东印度公司(the Dutch East India Company)从中国贩运到欧洲的瓷器就有一千六百多万件。瓷器以其优雅精致的品质,为中国赢得了好名声。

In English, china has the same meaning as porcelain. This proves that Europeans have long known of China’s relation to porcelain. Porcelain found its way to Europe in the 15th century, occupying an important position in the exchanges between China and other countries. The Keisel Randy Museum in Germany houses a blue-and-white bowl dating back to the Ming Dynasty. Throughout history, China, along with other Asian countries, and Europe maintained a busy and vast trade in porcelain. From 1602 to 1682, the Dutch East India Company alone transported more than 16 million articles of porcelain from China to Europe. Porcelain earned a good reputation for China for its sophistication and elegance.

29.中国人为什么要修长城?在秦始皇时代,每二十个人中,就有一个人参与修建过长城。中国人经历了无数次毁灭性的战争,他们深知,保护生灵的城墙总比掩埋尸体的壕沟(trench)好。修建长城有说不尽的艰辛,甚至不少人还因此付出了生命。但与惨烈的战争相比,人们更愿意选择前者。长城在中国历史上发挥的作用是巨大的。在冷兵器时代,长城在军事防御

上起到了不容置疑的作用,尤其在防御北方民族所谓的“马背上的进攻”方面,效果是明显的。

Why did the Chinese build the Great Wall? During the reign of the First Emperor of Qin, one out of every 20 people took part in the project. Suffering from the devastating damage of wars, people realized that building a wall to protect lives was better than burying the dead in trenches. Building walls was extremely hard labor, sometimes even at the cost of life itself. Compared with bloody wars, however, people would rather choose the former. The Great Wall played a significant role in history. It certainly served the purpose of military defense in the age of cold steel, especially in preventing attacks from northern peoples on horseback.

30.围棋(go)于四千多年前起源于中国,是一种重要的棋盘游戏,并在一千多年前就先后传到朝鲜半岛(peninsula)和日本,为东北亚人们普遍喜爱。每年中、日、韩之间有多种围棋比赛,围棋成为文化交流的工具。围棋不仅是竞赛项目,也是一种游戏活动,文人(literati)的案台上常常备有围棋。客人来了,除了有酒,还有围棋。旧时,无论在农村还是在市井,人们常常可以见到这样的场面:两个人在对弈,旁边站着一大片观棋的人,观棋的人得到的快乐丝毫不比下棋的人少。

Go is an important board game with origins in China from more than 4,000 years ago. It was introduced to the Korean peninsula and Japan over 1,000 years ago, and has since become a favorite pastime of many people there. Today, go still serves as a means of cultural exchange between the peoples of China, Japan and Korea, as they engage in numerous tournaments every year. Go is not only a competitive event but also a game of entertainment. The literati would usually have a set of go pieces on their desks. When a friend came around, both the host and the guest would enjoy a game of go, along with fine wine. In ancient countryside and towns, a pair of go players in an open space would often attract an attentive crowd, with the onlookers enjoying the game no less than the players.

31.在中国,小孩子的抓周(one-year-old catch)仪式独具风格,在孩子的成长过程中,这个仪式具有里程碑式的重要意义。抓周仪式在小孩满一周岁的时候举行,最早记载于北齐。小孩子满周岁的那天,在吃中午的长寿面之前,家里的长辈们会将书、笔、钱币、首饰、玩具和食物等摆出来,由大人将小孩抱过来,令其端坐,大人们不给予任何的引导或暗示,任孩子任意挑选,并以此为依据来预测孩子可能存在的志趣和将要从事的职业以及发展,也寄寓了长辈们对孩子的美好期待。

In China, the one-year-old catch of a baby is of unique characteristic. The ceremony is of milestone-like significance in the growing process of a baby. The ceremony usually celebrates when the baby is one year old. The earliest historical record about one-year-old catch appeared during the Northern Qi Dynasty. On the day when a baby is one year old, the family of the baby will lay out books, pens, coins, jewelries, toys and foods, etc. The parents then put the baby in front of these articles and make him/her sit up. Nobody will give any instruction or cue to the baby so that it is left free to choose by himself/herself. According to the articles the baby catches, the family try to make predications about the baby’s potential interests, future career and development.

The ceremony also represents that the elder place good wishes and hope on the baby.

32.武则天是中国历史上空前绝后的唯一一位女皇帝,她创造了中国历史的奇迹。她是中国历史上杰出的政治家、军事家,同时也是一位诗人。武则天出生于唐朝的大户人家,她拥有盖世的美丽和绝顶的聪明,并喜欢读书。童年时曾随父母游历了名山大川,这培养了她的眼界和才干。她14 岁入宫,在经历了很多坎坷和磨难之后,终于当上了皇后。690 年,武则

天改国号(the title of the dynasty)唐为周,正式做了皇帝。她执政期间,经济、文化繁荣发展,边疆稳固,人民生活幸福。

Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, created the miracle of Chinese history. She was an outstanding politician, strategist as well as a poet in Chinese history. Born in a wealthy family in Tang Dynasty, she was the most beautiful and intelligent of her time, and she also liked reading. She had visited famous mountains and great rivers with her parents when she was a child, which had broadened her horizon and developed her talents. She was sent to the palace when she was 14. After many difficulties and hardships, she became the empress finally. In 690, Wu Zetian changed the title of the dynasty Tang to Zhou, and became the emperor herself. During her reign, the economy and culture developed rapidly, the frontier got stable and people led a happy life. 33.玉雕(jade carving)是中国最古老的雕刻品种之一。玉石历来被人们当作珍宝,在中国古代,玉被看作是美好品质和君子风范的象征。玉石加工雕琢成为精美的工艺品,称为玉雕。工艺师在制作的过程中,根据不同玉料的天然颜色和自然形状,经过精心设计、反复琢磨,才能把玉石雕制成精美的工艺品。玉雕的品种主要有人物、器具、鸟兽、花卉等大件作品,也有别针(brooch)、戒指、印章等小件作品。中国的玉雕作品在世界上享有很好的声誉。Jade carving is one of the oldest carving arts in China. Jade was always treated as treasure. In ancient China, jade was regarded as a symbol of refinement and moral ethics. Jade carving refers to the process to carve a piece of jade into a fine article of art. A carving artist has to thoroughly examine a piece of jade, cudgel his brains to make a design according to its natural colors and shape, and turn it into an artistic work. Jade can be carved into human figures, containers, images of birds, animals, flowers as well as small things like brooches, rings or seals. Chinese jade carving works enjoy a high reputation in the world.

34.生活在中国黄河中上游的黄土高原上(the Loess Plateau)的人们,利用那里的黄土层建造了一种独特的住宅——窑洞(cave-dwellings)。窑洞分为土窑、石窑、砖窑等几种。土窑是靠着山坡挖掘成的黄土窑洞,这种窑洞冬暖夏凉,保温和隔音效果最好。石窑和砖窑是先用石块或砖砌成拱形洞,然后在上面盖上厚厚的黄土,既坚固又美观。由于建造窑洞不需要钢材和水泥,所以窑洞的造价较低。随着社会的发展,人们对窑洞的建造不断改进,黄土高原上冬暖夏凉的窑洞越来越舒适美观了。

People living in the Loess Plateau which lies in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River make use of the solid to build unique residences called cave-dwellings. These can be further divided into earthen, rock-walled and brick-walled types. Earthen cave-dwellings are hollowed out of mountain slopes; they are warm in winter and cool in summer, and are also sound-proof. Stones or brick-walled cave-dwellings are usually built with stones or bricks first into arch-shaped house and then covered with a thick layer of earth. Since there is no need for steel and cement, the building cost is low. As society progresses, construction of carve-dwelling keeps improving, and today, such houses are more comfortable inside and more pleasant in appearance.

35.轿子(sedan chair)是中国古代很重要的交通工具,主要由人来肩扛手抬。汉代的权贵(bigwig)们坐在由人像背包那样背着的轻便竹椅中行进。在北魏和南北朝时期,山水卷轴中出现了绑在竹竿上的木制轿子。轿子在种类上有官轿、民轿和喜轿等。轿子最重要的用途可能就是用作喜轿了。传统的中国婚礼上,新娘子被雇来的人用轿子抬到婚礼现场。喜轿装饰华丽、喜庆(jubilant),通常这些轿子还装饰有一个由红色丝绸制成的帘子,用来防止新娘子的闺容被旁观者看见。

The sedan chair can be regarded as a crucial vehicle of ancient China. It mainly has the virtue of lifting with shoulders and hands. In Han Dynasty, the bigwigs travelled in light bamboo seats

supported on a carrier’s back like a backpack. In the Northern Wei Dynasty and the North and South Song dynasties, wooden carriages on bamboo poles appeared in painted landscape scrolls. As for its kind, the sedan chair can be classified into three types: sedan chair for officials, the civilian and weddings. The chair with perhaps the greatest importance was the bridal chair. A traditional bride is carried to her wedding ceremony by a “shoulder carriage”, usually hired. These were richly ornamented and jubilant, and were equipped with red silk curtains to screen the bride from onlookers.

36.龙袍(imperial robe),从字面上理解就是绣(embroider)有龙形花纹的袍服,在中国古代服饰文化史上占有重要地位。龙纹最早出现在周朝,当时出现画有龙纹的服装,但没有出现真正意义上的龙袍。秦汉时期,上下相连的袍服出现,但袍服上仍没有龙形的花纹。直到隋唐时期冕服上才开始出现龙纹,但是帝王平时穿用的常服上并没有龙纹。只有到了元明时期,帝王袍服上绣有龙纹的现象才越来越多,自此也就出现了真正意义的龙袍。

Imperial robe literally means a robe that is embroidered with images of Chinese dragon, which played an important role in the history of Chinese ancient dress culture. The design of Chinese dragon appeared as early as in the Zhou Dynasty but the real imperial robe had not yet existed. By the Qin and Han dynasties, the robe with upper and lower parts as a whole was designed, but still no flower pattern of Chinese dragon on the robe. By the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the crown clothing that consisted of both upper clothes and lower skirt began to have the flower pattern of Chinese dragon. However, the ordinary dress worn by the emperor wasn’t embroidered with the flower pattern of Chinese dragon. Only by the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, imperial robe embroidered with the flower pattern of Chinese dragon began to become more common and the real imperial robe came into being.

37.西安作为十二朝古都,见证了历史的荣辱兴衰。历史在这里留下的文物景观和遗址不胜枚举,如兵马俑(Terracotta Warriors and Horses)、大雁塔(the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda)、华清池等都是人类文化艺术的瑰宝。大雁塔位于西安南郊,建于唐代,是唐朝太子李治为了追念他的母亲文德皇后而建立的,至今已经有1000 多年的历史。大雁塔塔身由青砖砌成,结构坚固,外观简单又不失庄严,最初建立的时候只有 5 层,后来又经过多次重修,现在的塔是7 层,高达64 米。

As th e capital of twelve dynasties, Xi’an had witnessed the rise and fall of history. There are numerous cultural relics and historical sites throughout the history. Among them are Terracotta Warriors and Horses, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and the Huaqing Pool, which are all precious treasures of humankind’s culture and art. Located in the south suburbs of Xi’an, the Giant Wild Pagoda was built by Li Zhi, a prince of the Tang Dynasty in memory of his mother Empress Wende and has stood there ever since for more than one thousand years. Simple yet solemn, the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is of a firm structure built of grey brick. Originally built with only 5 stories, the Pagoda now measures 64 metres high with additional two stories after several repairs.

38.中国人有在清明节扫墓祭祖和踏青插柳的习俗。每到清明节,家家户户都要到郊外去祭扫祖先的坟墓。人们为坟墓除去杂草,添加新土,在坟前点上香(incense),摆上食物和纸钱,表示对祖先的思念和敬意。清明时节,树木发芽,到处一片新绿,呈现出生机盎然的景色。人们会到郊外呼吸新鲜空气,观赏蓝天、绿树、小草和鲜花,或者折根柳枝在戴在头上,叫做“插柳”。据说,插柳可以驱除鬼怪和灾难,祈求平安幸福。

The Chinese people have the custom of sweeping the tombs, taking an outing and wearing a willow twig on the head on the Tomb-sweeping Day. When the Tomb-sweeping Day comes, every family will go to the country side to hold a memorial ceremony at their ancestors’ tombs.

People get rid of any weeds growing around the tomb, add new earth, burn incense and offer food and spirit money to show their remembrance and respect for their ancestors. At this time, the grass and trees have put forth new buds, with fresh green everywhere, which reflects the vitality of spring. It is a good time for people to breathe the fresh air in the countryside and appreciate the blue sky, green trees, grass and flowers. People like to wear a willow twig on the head because it

is supposed to be able to drive away ghosts and disasters and bring safety and happiness.

39.618 年6 月18 日,唐朝由高祖建立,是中国文明的黄金时代,在艺术,文学,尤其是在诗歌和科技上发展显著。佛教成为普通百姓的主要宗教。长安(今西安)是唐朝的首都,是当时世界上最大的城市。第二任皇帝太宗发动了军事行动来化解游牧(nomadic)部族的威胁,扩展边界,使邻国服从朝贡(tributary)制度。唐朝在塔里木盆地(Tarim Basin)军事上的胜利保持了丝绸之路畅通,连接长安到中亚地区,并远至西部。在南方,利润丰厚的海上(maritime)贸易路线从港口城市开始,如广州。

Tang Dynasty was founded by Emperor Gaozu on 18 June 618. It was a golden age of Chinese civilization with significant developments in art, literature, particularly poetry, and technology. Buddhism became the predominant religion for common people. Chang’an (modern Xi’an), the national capital, was the largest city in the world of its time. The second emperor, Taizong, launched military campaigns to dissolve threats from nomadic tribes, extended the border, and submitted neighboring states into a tributary system. Military victories in the Tarim Basin kept the Silk Road open, connecting Chang’an to Central Asia and areas far to the west. In the south, profitable maritime trade routes began from port cities such as Guangzhou.

40.中华民族是龙的传人,而实际上根本没有龙这种动物存在,它只是人们臆想出来的一种动物象征,结合了许多种其他不同动物的特征,包括:鹿、鱼、老虎、狮子、马、牛、驴、蛇、和秃鹰(vulture)。龙被人们看作是一种具有神性的动物,时常与云朵、雷电和降雨联系在一起,它可以在陆地行走,在海里游泳,在天空翱翔,化作风神和雨神。中国人不仅认为龙是一种福神(mascot),还是权力、尊严、运气、力量和成功的化身。

The Chinese people consider themselves descendents of the dragon, which is in fact a fictitious animal combining some features of the deer, fish, tiger, lion, horse, ox, donkey, snake and vulture. This divine animal is always associated with clouds, thunderbolts and rainfall. It can walk on the land, swim in the sea and fly in the air and is the deity of wind and rain. Chinese people believe it is a mascot, as well as the embodiment of power, dignity, luck, strength and success.

第九讲高中英语翻译技巧与能力训练(上)[讲义]

高考英语翻译技巧与能力训练 高考英语中的翻译(中译英)题要求考生能应用所学过的语法和词汇来准确地表达思想,是一种要求相当高的考查形式。要求考生把中文的句子译成通顺的、语法结构正确的、符合英语表达习惯的英语句子,并能准确地传达中文句子中的每一个信息。该题型全面地考查学生英语词汇、语法等知识的综合运用能力,它对学生的动词时态、语态、名词的单复数、冠词、形容词、副词、介词等应用能力,还对学生的词组、句型、句子结构等进行了全面考查。翻译不仅在高考英语主观题中占不小的比例,而且翻译能力还直接影响考生在作文中的表现。 高考评分标准: 1.每题中单词拼写、标点符号、大小写错误每两处扣一分;2.语法错误(包括时态错误)每处扣一分;3.译文没用所给的单词扣一分。 如何才能提高中译英水准,在高考中获得理想的分数呢?考生除了必须具备比较扎实的语言基础外,关键还在于学会总结规律,找准中译英的切入点。 一、分析句子结构、寻找合适的句型 中文必须仔细读,一定要看的就是题目给我们的关键字或关键的词组,也就是我们常说的key words。尤其是最后两句翻译句子,它们大都在句子结构上提高了难度。读什么?读出句子结构:对于简单句,辨别出主谓宾,分清定语、同位语和状语;对于并列句,记住两个语法意义上独立的分句,须由连词连接起来;对于复合句,须区分定语从句,名词性从句以及状语从句。一般来说,中译英的句型可分为三大类:1.简单句;2.并列句;3.复合句;同时我们也要注意非谓语动词及其他一些特殊结构。回顾近几年的高考试题时,也不难发现试题中考了一些特殊句式。如:It句型(近几年考得较为频繁)、倒装句、with结构。 例1: 昨天我的电脑坏了。(wrong) 解析:本题考查:1)简单句There be结构;2)wrong的用法;3)中英文表达的差异。 译句:There was something wrong with my computer yesterday. 例2: 遇到困难的时候,我们需要的不是彼此埋怨,而是互相帮助。(not…but) 解析:本题考查:1)复合句:when引导的状语从句;what引导的主语从句;2)not…but结构;3)“彼此埋怨”的英文翻译。 译句:When(we are)in difficulty/When we meet with difficulties/When we have difficulties ,what we need is not to blame each other but to help each other. 例3:我们能做什么来阻止这种疾病蔓延呢?(prevent) 分析:如果有学生没有读全中文原句的话,就很有可能看成是以前所做的“我们要做些什么来阻止这种疾病的蔓延”,而译为We should do something to prevent the spread of this disease.因为这个原因而造成扣分,就太不应该了。 译句:What can we do to prevent the spread of this disease? 例4:他很有可能通过自己的努力得到驾驶执照。(likely) 译句:He is likely to get the driving license with his own efforts. 分析:有些学生一看到有可能,就会想到自己比较熟悉的possible,想当然地翻译成It is possible that…的结构。其实,学生对likely这个key word的使用也是会的,完全能够使用be likely to do或It’s likely th at…的结构。 例5:上海近几年经历了许多变化,如今已成为世界闻名的经济中心。(go through) 分析:乍一看,学生很容易轻易下笔,Shanghai has gone through…,it has become…,这已成为很多学生的一个习惯,句子和句子中随便用逗号隔开,英语不像中文,必须要考虑到句子的结构,逗号也不能随意使用。而此句中,就要想到用并列句中的连接词and来连接两个成分。

论文:浅析英语翻译能力提升的障碍和策略

论文:浅析英语翻译能力提升的障碍和策略摘要:翻译能力是英语综合能力的重要组成部分,也是英语专业学生必需具备的基本能力。要全面提升英语翻译能力,需要了解英汉两种文化的差异性,具备深厚的语言功底,掌握熟练的翻译技巧。 关键字:英语翻译能力;提升;障碍;策略 中西文化差异是影响英语翻译能力提升的重要因素,除了文化因素外,英语翻译能力的提升还受到其他因素的影响,本文将进一步的展开叙述影响英语翻译能力提升的障碍及其相应的策略。 一、影响英语翻译能力提升的障碍 1.中西文化的差异性容易造成英语翻译误会 英语翻译就是汉语和英语相互转换的过程,这个过程不仅仅是一种语言现象,也体现了跨文化现象。具体来说,中西方的文化差异体现在文化传统、生活习惯、价值观念和思维方式等方面,而这些层面的差异性往往会造成人们对同一事物有着不同的理解和解释,因此不同文化的差异性容易造成英语翻译的误会。比如,生活中最常见的信封的写法,在中国,习惯的书写顺序是国名,省、市、县、街道,最后才是收信人姓名。而在西方国家信封的书写顺序恰好相反。因此在学习英语知识的同时,需要更加注意对英语文化知识的了解和掌握。

2.语言基础知识掌握不扎实,影响了翻译的准确性 英语翻译就是英汉两种语言之间的相互转换,在转换的过程中主要涉及两个方面,首先翻译者要正确地领悟原文的意思,其次要通过译文将原文确切的表达出来,达到“信达雅”的标准。因此翻译者需要牢固地掌握英汉两种语言。但是由于多方面的因素,翻译者的语言基础知识掌握不扎实,很多翻译者的词汇量太少,经常背了忘,而又不重视巩固复习,或者死记硬背不会灵活运用,此外,语法掌握也不扎实,对一些基本的句型模棱两可,不能正确理解更不会运用。 二、提升英语翻译能力的具体策略 1.通过词汇、语法和阅读,了解中西文化之间的差异性 在英语的学习中,提高英语翻译能力,不仅要加强英语语言知识的学习,还要注重对英语文化知识的了解。具体来说,可以通过词汇、语法以及阅读等的学习获取英语文化知识。 首先,通过词汇的学习了解中西文化知识。词汇是英语语言的基本元素,掌握词汇的过程中,仅仅注重词汇正确的拼写和准确的发音是远远不够的,更主要的是学会如何恰当的运用词汇和组织词汇。因此,在背诵英语词汇意思的基础之上还需要进一步了解词汇产生的文化背景知识,尤其是了解习语、谚语和成语这一类词语的文化内涵、感情色彩以及

第一单元 孔子是中国历史上著名的思想家、教育家,是儒家学派(Confucianism)的创始人,被尊称为古代的"圣人"(sage)。他的言论和生平活动记录在《论语》(The Analects)一书中。《论语》是中国古代文化的经典著作,对后来历代的思想家、文学家、政治家产生了很大影响。不研究《论语》,就不能真正把握中国几千年的传统文化。孔子的很多思想,尤其是其教育思想,对中国社会产生了深远的影响。在21世纪的今天,孔子的学说不仅受到中国人的重视,而且也越来越受到整个国际社会的重视。 Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient "sage". His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analects has had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years' traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius' thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society. In the 21st century, Confucian thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community. 第二单元 每年农历(Chinese lunar calendar)八月十五是我国的传统节日——中秋节(the Mid-Autumn Festival)。这时是一年秋季的中期,所以被称为中秋。中秋节的一项重要活动是赏月。夜晚,人们赏明月、吃月饼,共庆中秋佳节。中秋节也是家庭团圆的时刻,远在他乡的游子,会借此寄托自己对故乡和亲人的思念之情。中秋节的习俗很多,都寄托着人们对美好生活的热爱和向往。自2008年起,中秋节成为中国的法定节假日。 According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August 15 of every year is a traditional Chinese festival — the Mid-Autumn Festival. This day is the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn. One of the important Mid-Autumn Festival activities is to enjoy the moon. On that night, people gather together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, looking up at the bright moon and eating

商务英语翻译:商务英语五大实用翻译技巧

商务英语翻译:商务英语五大实用翻译技巧商务英语是为国际商务活动这一特定的专业学科服务的专门用途英语,所涉及的专业范围很广,并具有独特的语言现象和表现内容、文体复杂。商务英语翻译要求翻译者具备丰富的商务理论和商务实践知识,为了提高翻译质量,翻译者必须具备一定的自身条件: 第一,翻译者的汉语功底要好 很多人容易忽视这一点,认为汉语是自己的母语,应付翻译中的问题应该是绰绰有余的。然而,在真正的翻译过程中,常常为了一个词语或者一个句型,冥思苦想了半天也得不到一个满意的结果。由此可见,汉语表达能力和对汉语理解能力的大小直接影响翻译的好坏。下功夫学好汉语,打好汉语基础对于翻译是十分重要的。 第二,英语语言能力要强 全面的语法知识和大量的词汇量缺一不可。如果只有大量的词汇量,而没有较好的英语语法知识,翻译过程中译者的理解肯定是错误百出,牛头不对马嘴。因此,我们要提高在英汉翻译中对于英文句子理解的准确性及汉英翻译中英文表达的准确性。 第三,知识面要广 商务英语翻译中要很好的做到这一点,就要掌握商务理论和贸易实务等理论知识及贸易实践经验。同时译者还要具有丰富的百科知识,对天文地理、古今中外不说通晓,至少也要了解其中的一些基本知识。没有一定的常识,即使语言水平再高,也是难以胜任翻译工作的。

以下介绍的是商务英语中主要的五大实用翻译技巧: 一、一词多义 同一个词,由于语境不同,其词义可千差万别。 例: 1、They cannot obtain credit at all in the trade. 他们生意信誉已荡然无存。 2、They have opened the covering credit with the Bank of China,London. 他们已从伦敦中国银行开立了有关信用证。 同一个词credit,而在不同的语境中,意思大有不同。 二、词类转译 词类转译是国际商务翻译中常见的译词技巧。常见的有名词与动词、介词与动词的互相转译。 例: 1、Before the payment of these tariffs, the imported goods will bein the custody of the customs. 交关税前,进口货物由海关保管。( 由于语法限制,只有用名词形式,但译成汉语时,”payment”译作“交”) 2 、We should advise you to get in touch with them for your requirements. 建议你方与他们取得联系,洽购所需商品。 三、词义引伸

浅谈大学英语翻译教学的重要性及翻译能力培养

龙源期刊网 https://www.wendangku.net/doc/10850816.html, 浅谈大学英语翻译教学的重要性及翻译能力培养 作者:冯云菊岳元玉 来源:《校园英语·上旬》2015年第07期 【摘要】大学英语翻译教学在整个英语教学体系当中有着非常重要的地位,有助于学生英语综合运用能力的提高,有助于学生对东西方文化差异的理解;当前大学英语翻译教学重视不够、对翻译在听、说、读、写中的作用认识不足、翻译课在大学英语教学中开设甚少的。如何提高大学英语翻译教学效果,提高大学生翻译能力,促进“听”“说”“读”“写”“译”这五项技能的和谐发展,是高校英语老师需要认真考虑的事情。本人认为可以从传统教学模式转变、教学方法创新、注重文化差异分析这几个方面对提高大学英语翻译教学效果,培养大学生翻译能力。 【关键词】翻译教学能力培养文化差异 一、大学英语翻译教学的重要性 1.英语翻译教学有助于学生英语综合运用能力的提高。大学生的英语翻译能力与英语的听、说、读、写能力有着非常紧密的联系。在大量的英语翻译练习中学生能够获得非常丰富的语言知识,同时在大量的汉英互译练习在很大程度上扩大了学生的词汇量,让学生能够熟练转换汉语与英语这两种思维。 同时,英语翻译教学有助于学生听、说能力的提升。之所以这么说是因为,学生在听、说练习中可以借助翻译获得准确信息,通过翻译理解听到的内容,锻炼了快速反应能力以及表达能力。在写作与阅读练习中,学生往往在无意识中对看到的英语进行了翻译。翻译能力的高低对学生能否准确获得原文表达的信息起到了决定性作用。 2.英语翻译教学有助于学生对东西方文化差异的理解。在英语学习过程中,许多学生对英语原文中表现出来的文化差异无所适从,往往不能很好的抓住英文中体现出来的东西方文化差异。英语翻译教学的开展能够提高学生对东西方文化差异的敏感度,更加准确的抓取原文想要表达的含义。其一,在英语翻译教学中,学生通过大量的翻译训练掌握了较多的词汇,在翻译过程中,能够透过原文中的句子以及词汇的含义理解特殊词语的社会文化意义以及背后所蕴含的文化差异;其二,英语翻译教学中的翻译训练讲解可以使学生逐步意识到汉语与英语这两个语言在在文化内涵上的独特特征,在英语学习中有意识的积累与英汉文化背景相关的知识,最终提高英语的掌握程度。 二、大学英语翻译教学现状分析

For Chinese consumers, Apple is one of their most admired brands. A survey in 2012 by researchers found that the penetration of electronic products from the company at an elite high school in Beijing was greater than that at one in an American city. At present, 270 million people in China can already afford Apple’s products, and as income increases, each year there will be another 57 million able to. In short, Apple’s products are selling fast and likely to sell even faster in China.

The country experienced a serious brain drain. Faced with a globalized world, more and more jobs in China need skilled people with international education background. China, therefore, launches a series of projects aimed at the introduction of overseas talents, which has successfully attracted more and more students abroad back home to work in state companies, educational institutions and business districts.

浅议英语翻译能力的培养-文档资料

浅议英语翻译能力的培养 高等学校很注重培养英语专业学生的翻译能力。要具备一定的翻译能力,学生必须具有深厚的语言功底?p广博的文化知识?p熟练的翻译技巧?p正确的翻译观念和严谨的翻译态度。因此,要培养和提高英语专业学生的翻译能力,教师应该从以下几个方面入手。 一?p掌握好汉语和英语的基础知识 翻译是一个语言转换的过程。从根本上讲,这个过程要解决两个问题:一是如何深刻地理解原文;二是如何用译文确切地表达原文的意思。因此,译者要较好地掌握英语和汉语两种语言,具备较强的语言理解能力和表达能力,这是做好翻译的前提条件。 从语言学角度讲,英语和汉语之间最大的区别莫过于形合和意合的区别。英语是重形合的语言,即英语中词语或句子间的连接主要依靠连接词来完成。汉语是重意合的语言,即汉语中词语或句子间的连接主要依靠语义或句子之间的逻辑关系来完成。例如“他今天没来,母亲住院了”(Hedidnotcometodaybecausehis mother was hospitalized),在这个例子中,汉语原文在表达因果关系时,没有使用任何表示因果关系的词汇,但是读者一看就能理解。然而,在翻译成英语的时候,必须加上连接词because,否则就会出现语法错误。二?p积累广博的文化知识 翻译材料涉及面极广,学生要具备渊博的知识。具体来说,文学性的翻译需要学生具备广博的文化知识,科技翻译需要学生具备相关的专业知识。另外,学生还要掌握大量的习语和俚语,这样在翻译时才不会被句子的字面意义所迷惑。如“I decidedto sit at his feet”这句话的字面意思是“我决定坐在他的脚上”,但实际上,“sit at his feet”是一个习语,表示“拜他为师”。 三?p培养严谨的翻译态度 英语和汉语的句子结构复杂,词汇意义也复杂多变,在翻译中出现错误是难以避免的,但是教师应该让学生尽量避免错误,避免粗枝大叶,望文生义。此外,学生在翻译时还应多关注细节,如单词的拼写?p标点符号?p小词等。例如,“中国政府”应该翻译成Chinese government还是the Chinese government这

商务英语翻译赏析

商务英语翻译赏析 语言是文化的载体。文化和语言之间有着十分密切的关系,文化影响着语言的学习和交流,尤其是外语的学习。英语作为国际通用的交流语言,在全球经济一体化的背景下,在我国的对外开放和经济发展进程中起着十分重要作用。近年来,随着我国加入WTO和对外开放的进程不断深入,对外商务活动更加频繁,商务英语翻译显得更为重要。而在翻译过程中,要保证翻译的完整清楚必须考虑到文化的因素,注意中西文化的差异。 一、商务英语翻译概述 商务英语作为基于国际商务的跨文化交际的一种英语,有着其自身独特的特点。商务英语作为英语的一种,其基本语法、句式和词汇与英语相同,但它同时又是国际商务贸易类的应用英语,它又有着自己独特的语言表现形式和内容,有着与一般英语不同的特点。在进行商务英语翻译,必须充分掌握商务英语的特点,才能做到保证翻译的顺畅。 商务英语翻译主要应用于正式的商务交流场合,因此,用语和格式的正式规范是其首要特征。商务英语的各种文体一般都比较正式,用语往往采用国际通用的语言,避免口语化,通过规范的用语保证准确的传达商务信息。商务英语的句式结构往往比日常用语更为复杂,行文多采用标准规范的格式,尤其是在合同等商务文件中。例如,在合同文件中我们经常看到“依照本合同相关规定”,它有着较为固定的翻译"as provided herein"。 商务英语的翻译往往也根据文本有着固定的格式和套路,通过固定的用语保证商务交流的正式性。如,我们在对询盘进行回复时,开头多用"We are pleased to receive your inquiry about our……"表示对对方关于某货物的询盘礼貌地表示已收到;而在结尾时往往用"Thank you for your interest. We look forward to receiving your order."表示对对方询盘的高兴和期望收到对方的订单。 其次,商务英语因为涉及到商务活动的各个领域,产品、贸易和法律等方面的专业术语非常多。例如inquiry(询盘),free on board(离岸价),premium(保险费)等。语言精练,专用名词较多。商务英语语言的运用往往简洁明了,没有过多的客套和和繁杂的语言。而且商务英语中的缩写和专用名词应用较为广泛,例如e-business,e-mail,Nike,FOB(离岸价)等。此外,商务英语的表达准确,表达不含糊,指代明确,内容表达客观真实,注意礼貌用语,用词得体。 二、导致文化差异的因素 英语是世界上作为母语的第二大语言,它是西方民族民族文化深厚积淀的表现。不同的民族有不同的语言、文化特征、生活地域,因此,导致文化差异的因素是多方面的,既有自然方面的因素,也有人文方面的因素。 首先,从自然因素来看,主要表现为地理位置、自然环境和生活谚语的差异。英语的起源和发展以英国为代表,英国面临大西洋,吹西风,因此,西风在西方尤其是英国有着温暖和煦的意思。而在中国,西风却是寒冷的意思,反而是东风送暖。另外,谚语作为反映劳动人民

考研英语怎样提高翻译能力

考研英语:怎样提高翻译能力? 在英语翻译备考中,许多人总想一步登天,跨考教育英语教研室的孟老师在此着重强调,须知任何能力(包括英语翻译在内)的提升必定要经过反复练习的过程。当然,练习是有方法可循的,比如系统学习翻译的方法、原理、固定句式和译法、多学习比较优秀的译文等等。 要做好翻译其实并不是机械地在大量的词库句库中搜求配对,片面追求字面的精准,而是对信息的传达。这就要求译者不仅对源语言有准确的理解,并且对于目标语言也要有优秀的表达能力。很多时候你能明白一整段的意思,却觉得不能自如组织成书面汉语,是因为其实你的汉语表达能力也不够。 提高汉语表达能力,建议可以从经典作品的译本和各大电影字幕组的翻译作品中学习。前者的翻译作品比较严谨传神;后者则生动俏皮,富有时代气息。在学习这些资料时,并不是说某句英文只有资料里的一种翻译方法,以后碰到这句话就直接照搬照抄译文,资料只是辅助,要学习的是其中的思路和方法。 另外,不要太拘泥于所谓的翻译理论。语法和理论都是随着时代的更迭不断更新的,比如当下不断涌现出的各种新词汇,必须与时俱进。 翻译最重要的一点,就是对文章的理解,要彻底读懂文章想表达的思想,甚至尝试去体会原作者的想法,才能翻译出更贴切、更符合原文的译文。 所以,总结起来,你需要经历三个阶段: 首先,语法学好,能正确理解句子; 第二,接受系统的翻译训练,学会翻译方法; 第三,就在提高汉语能力形成地道的表达 你可以一边学习方法和原理、多加练习,一边做语言功底上的积累,才谓标本兼治的“有效”;至于“快速”,其实是你有多勤奋的问题——假设可以使你熟能生巧、从量变达到质变的那个量是一定的。 现在的你达到那个阶段了呢??? 综上就是小编给大家提供的高分技巧,技巧就是牢固的知识点和强悍的答题思路,预祝所有

英语专业论文翻译教学论文

英语专业论文翻译教学论文 摘要:培养学生的思辨能力目前已成为外语教育工作者的共识。翻译是逻辑活动的产物,本文从理解、表达、和校核三个阶段阐释了活动对学生思辨能力的要求,并进一步探讨翻译课程中培养学生思辨能力的途径。 关键词:英语专业;翻译教学;思辨能力 一、引言 目前,社会对人才的要求越来越高,许多大学生一踏入校门便把考研作为下一步奋斗的目标,而每年考研的报名人数也是持续增长。2011年研究生报考结束后,来自教育部的消息称2011年全国151万人报名参加研究生考试,研究生报名人数连续四年持续增长,增幅达7.9%。越来越多的学生选择考研深造,客观上要求大学本科阶段的教育不仅要注重学生职业技能的培养,更要注重对学生思辨能力的培养,为学生以后从事研究工作打下良好的基础。如何培养和提高英语专业学生的思辨能力,是每一个从事英语专业教学教育工作者都应该思考的问题,翻译教师也不例外。 二、当前外语专业本科教育存在的问题 国内学界一般有着英语专业学生思辨能力普遍低于其他文科专业学生的先入之见,虽然文秋芳等学者通过研究否定了这一先入之见,但研究结果同时也证明英语专业学生在

本科学习阶段思辨能力的提高上不及其他文科的学生,这足以说明本科阶段提高对英语专业学生思辨能力的培养也迫在眉睫。 为了更全面地反映我国各语种外语教育的现状和存在的问题,教育部在广泛调研的基础上于1998年出台了《关于外语专业面向21世纪本科教育改革的若干意见》,《若干意见》中也指出我国外语专业本科教育存在的问题之一便是“在语言技能训练中往往强调模仿记忆却忽略了学生思维能力、创新能力、分析问题和独立提出见解能力的培养”。并指出当前外语专业课程建设主要面临的任务之一便是“在开设新课和改造现有课程的过程中,重点摸索如何培养学生的语言实际运用能力,锻炼学生的思维能力和创新能力。” 三、新《大纲》对培养外语专业学生能力的要求 为贯彻和落实《关于外语专业面向21世纪本科教育改革的若干意见》的精神,教育部于2003年批准实施了《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》。新《大纲》提出了新的培养目标和人才规格,即具有扎实的基本功、宽广的知识面、一定的相关专业知识、较强的能力和较高的素质、面向21世纪的复合型外语人才。 新《大纲》尤其强调强调培养学生的创新能力。明确提

商务英语写作-商务英语翻译:商务英语五大实用翻译技巧

商务英语写作 商务英语翻译:商务英语五大实用翻译技巧 商务英语是为国际商务活动这一特定的专业学科服务的专门用途英语,所涉及的专业范围很广,并具有独特的语言现象和表现内容、文体复杂。商务英语翻译要求翻译者具备丰富的商务理论和商务实践知识,为了提高翻译质量,翻译者必须具备一定的自身条件。 第一,翻译者的汉语功底要好。很多人往往忽视这一点,认为汉语是自己的母语,凭着自己原来的底子应付翻译中的问题,是绰绰有余的。然而在真正的翻译过程中,为了一个词语或者一个句型,冥思苦想了半天也得不到一个满意的结果。有时好不容易想出来了也觉得不够理想。由此可见,汉语表达能力和对汉语理解能力的大小直接影响翻译的好坏。下功夫学好汉语,打好汉语基础对于翻译是十分重要的。 第二,英语语言能力要强。全面的语法知识和大量的词汇量缺一不可。如果只有大量的词汇量,而没有较好的英语语法知识。翻译过程中译者的理解肯定是错误百出,而且牛头不对马嘴。因此我们要提高在英汉翻译中对于英文句子理解的准确性及汉英翻译中英文表达的准确性。 第三,知识面要广。商务英语翻译中要很好的做到这一点,就

要掌握商务理论和贸易实务等理论知识及贸易实践经验。同时译者还要具有丰富的百科知识,对天文地理、古今中外不说通晓,也要了解其中的一些基本知识。没有一定的常识,译者的语言水平即使再高,也是无法做好翻译工作的。 一、一词多义 同一个词,由于语境不同,其词义可千差万别。试看下面几个例子: 1.They cannot obtain credit at all in the trade. 他们生意信誉已荡然无存。 2.They have opened the covering credit with the Bank of China,London. 他们已从伦敦中国银行开立了有关信用证。 以上两个句子credit 词义都有所区别。 二、词类转译 词类转译是国际商务翻译中常见的译词技巧。常见的有名词与动词、介词与动词的互相转译。 1.名词与动词的互相转译: Before the payment of these tariffs, the imported goods
