A．英译汉

The English Source Text：

Fame and the exhilarating celebrity that accompanies it. Force the famous person to participate in his or her own destruction. Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of possessing a single talent or skill: singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. The successful performer develops a style that is marketed aggressively and gains some popularity, and it is this popularity that usually convinces the performer to continue performing in the same style, since that is what the public seems to want and to enjoy. But in time, the performer becomes bored singing the same songs in the same way year after year, or the painter becomes bored painting similar scenes or portraits, or the actor is tired of playing the same character repeatedly. The demand of the public holds the artist hostage to his or her own success, fame. If the artist attempts to change his or her style of writing or dancing or singing, etc., the audience may turn away and look to confer fleeting fickle fame on another and then, in time, on another, and so on and so on. Who cannot recognize a Tennessee Williams play or a novel by John Updike or Ernest Hemingway or poem by Robert Frost or W.H. Auden or T.S.Eliot?

4. 或罗伯特.弗罗斯特或奥登或艾略特所写的一首诗歌呢？

5. 在已出了名的人们中间，绝大多数是因有一技之长，如唱歌、舞蹈、绘画、写作等等，而获此声誉的。

6. 如果这位艺术家企图改变笔调、舞步、唱腔的话，听众观众就会舍他而去，把那飘忽不定的称誉转移给别人，随后又转移给另外一个人，这样不停的转来转去。

7. 这位成功的表演者展示出一种在市场上可以争雄制胜的风格，因而获得声誉。

8. 声誉和随之而来的令人兴奋的赞扬迫着这位出了名的人走上自己的末路。

B．汉译英

The Chinese Source Text：

这地方是个长潭的转折处，两岸是高大壁立千丈的山，山头上长着小小竹子，长年翠色逼人。这时节两山只剩余一抹深黑，赖天空微明为画出一个轮廓。但在黄昏里看来如一种奇迹的，但是两岸高处去水已30丈上下的吊脚楼。这些房子莫不俨然悬挂在半空中，借着黄昏的余光，还可以把这些希奇的楼房形体看得出个大略。这些房子同沿河一切房子有个共通相似处，便是从结构上说来，处处显示出对于木材的浪费。房屋既在半山上，不用那么多木料，便是从结构上说来，处处显出对于木材的浪费。房屋既在半山上，不用那么多木料，便能成为房子吗？半山也用吊脚楼形式，这形式是必须的吗？然而这条河水的大宗出口是木料。木材比石块还不值价。因此，即或是河水永远长不到处，吊脚楼房子依然存托，似乎也不应该当有何惹眼惊奇了。但沿河因为有了这些楼房，长年与流水斗争的水手。寄身船中枯闷成疾的旅行者，以及其他过路人，却有了落脚处了。这些人的疲劳与寂寞是从这些房子中可以一律解除的。

1. In common with all the houses along the river, their construction was characterized by a wasteful use of timber.

2. And because they were there, the boatmen who grappled year in year out with the current, their passengers nearly bored to death, and other travelers too had somewhere to rest.

3. What we could make out in the dark, though, was amazing—about three hundred feet up the cliff, high above the water, was a cluster of houses on stilts.

4. Now that darkness was falling, only their silhouettes were outlined against

the faintly glimmering sky. 5. There they hung majestically in mid air, and in the fading light we could still see the outline of these extraordinary buildings.6. Why was so much timber needed for houses halfway up a hill? 7. This place, at a bend in a long lake, was flanked by high cliffs on the peaks of which grew small bamboos, an enchanting emerald the whole year round. 8. Yet they were built on stilts, quite needlessly. 9. They could shake off their weariness and loneliness in these houses. 10. Well, timber was the main product shipped out from this river, costing less than stone; and so, though there was no danger at all of flooding, it was really not astonishing that these houses were still built on stilts.

第三届翻译大赛初赛试题

江西省第三届翻译大赛初赛试题及参考译文 一、将下列短文译成汉语（50分）: Acceptance Speech William Faulkner I feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work—a life’s work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before. So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin. But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnace from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whose is already that one who will some day stand here where I am standing. Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat. He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it, forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed—love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or compassion. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands(腺).

从本质上讲，“工匠精神”是一种职业精神，它是职业道德、职业能力、职业品质的体现，是从业者的一种职业价值取向和行为表现。“工匠精神”的基本内涵包括敬业、精益、专注、创新等方面的内容。 Essentially, “Craftsman Spirit”is an artisan spirit which reflects one’s morality, ability and quality of job. It is one of the professional value and behaviour. The fundamental elements of “Craftsman Spirit” include, among other things, devotion, lean, concentration, and innovation. 其一，敬业。中华民族历来有“敬业乐群”“忠于职守”的传统。早在春秋时期，孔子就主张人在一生中始终要“执事敬”“事思敬”“修己以敬”。 First of all, devotion. It is the tradition of the Chinese to do our duty. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius advocated that people should try to take their responsibility for their whole lives. 其二，精益。能基业长青的企业，无不是精益求精才获得成功的。瑞士手表得以誉满天下、畅销世界、成为经典，靠的就是制表匠们对每一个零件、每一道工序、每一块手表都精心打磨、专心雕琢的精益精神。 Second, lean.None of the successful enterprises that can base industry evergreen without the excellence. The reason why Swiss watches became internationally renowned, best-selling and a classic is the pursuit of that inspires the watchmakers to concentrate on polishing each part, each working procedure, each a watch carefully. 其三，专注。专注就是内心笃定而着眼于细节的耐心、执着、坚持的精神，这是一切“大国工匠”所必须具备的精神特质。从中外实践经验来看，工匠精神都意味

河南省第八届翻译竞赛试题及参考译文 -英语专业组

河南省第八届翻译竞赛试题及参考译文 笔译类英语专业组 I. Translate the Following Passage into Chinese (50 Points)： Life of Socrates Socrates was born in Athens, 469 B. C., the son of poor parents, his father being a sculptor, his mother a midwife. How he acquired an education, we do not know, but his love of knowledge evidently created opportunities in the cultured city for intellectual growth. He took up the occupation of his father, but soon felt “a divine vocation to examine himself by questioning other men.”It was his custom to engage in converse with all sorts and conditions of men and women, on the streets, in the market-place, in the gymnasia, discussing the most diverse topics: war, politics, marriage, friendship, love, housekeeping, the arts and trades, poetry, religion, science, and, particularly, moral matters. Nothing human was foreign to him. Life with all its interests became the subject of his inquiries, and only the physical side of the world left him cold; he declared that he could learn nothing from trees and stones. He was subtle and keen, quick to discover the fallacies in an argument and skillful in steering the conversation to the very heart of the matter. Though kindly and gentle in disposition, and brimming over with good humor, he delighted in exposing the quacks and humbugs of his time and pricking their empty bubbles with his wit.

第三届翻译大赛试题及答案

Nature and Art Nature contains the elements, in colour and form, of all pictures, as the keyboard contains the notes of all music. But the artist is born to pick, and choose, and group with science, these elements, that the result may be beautiful—as the musician gathers his notes, and forms his chords, until he brings forth from the chaos glorious harmony. To say to the painter, that Nature is to be taken as she is, is to say to the player, that he may sit on the piano… The dignity of the snow-capped mountain is lost in distinctness, but the joy of the tourist is to recognize the traveller on the top. The desire to see, for the sake of seeing, is, with the mass, alone the one to be gratified, hence the delight in detail. And when the evening mist clothes the riverside with poetry, as with a veil, and the poor buildings lose themselves in the dim sky, and the tall chimneys become campanili, and the warehouses are palaces in the night, and the whole city hangs in the heavens, and fairy-land is before us—then the wayfarer hastens home; the working man and the cultured one, the wise man and the one of pleasure, cease to understand, as they have ceased to see, and Nature, who, for once, has sung in tune, sings her exquisite song to the artist alone, her son and her master—her son in that loves her, her master in that he knows her. To him her secrets are unfolded, to him her lessons have become gradually clear. He looks at her flower, not with the enlarging lens, that may gather facts for the botanist, but with the light of the one who sees in her choice selection of brilliant tones and delicate tints, suggestions of future harmonies. He does not confine himself to purposeless copying, without thought, each blade of grass, as commended by the inconsequent, but, in the long curve of the narrow leaf, corrected by the straight tall stem, he learns how grace is wedded to dignity. How strength enhances sweetness, that elegance shall be the result.

湖北省第二十届英语翻译大赛决赛真题

湖北省二十届英语翻译大赛决赛真题【非英语专业笔译组】 1.英译汉 While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practice most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past. Caught in the web of its own time and place, each generation of historians determines anew what is significant for it in the past. In this search the evidence found is always incomplete and scattered; it is also frequently partial or partisan. The irony of the historian’s craft is that its practitioners always know that their efforts are but contributions to an unending process. Interest in historical methods has arisen less through external challenge to the validity of history as an intellectual discipline and more from internal quarrels among historians themselves. While history once revered its affinity to literature and philosophy, the emerging social sciences seemed to afford greater opportunities for asking new questions and providing rewarding approaches to an understanding of the past. Social science methodologies had to be adapted to a discipline governed by the primacy of historical sources rather than the imperatives of the contemporary world. 73) During this transfer, traditional historical methods were augmented by additional methodologies designed to interpret the new forms of evidence in the historical study. Methodology is a term that remains inherently ambiguous in the historical profession. 74) There is no agreement whether methodology refers to the concepts peculiar to historical work in general or to the research techniques appropriate to the various branches of historical inquiry. Historians, especially those so blinded by their research interests that they have been accused of “tunnel method,” frequently fall victim to the “technicist fallacy.” Also common in the natural sciences, the technicist fallacy mistakenly identifies the discipline as a whole with certain parts of its technical implementation. It applies equally to traditional historians who view history as only the external and internal criticism of sources, and to social science historians who equate their activity with specific techniques. 2.汉译英 第二天早上，天空阴暗多云，海面波涛起伏，但后来太阳出来了。风雨过后，更觉空气清新，大海在闪闪发光。早饭后我到外面走走，经过市场，我看见售货摊上有从海里打来的鲜鱼卖。我朝着海边走去，看见在阳光下发着亮光的渔船回来了。它们满载着刚打的鱼，一条接一条地市驶进岸边。我在那站了很久，看着渔夫们把鱼搬到岸上来。突然我听见有人在清冷的空气中说话。这是个老渔夫深沉有力的嗓音。原来刚才回来的第一条渔船是他的。我们攀谈起来。他对我说：“这是一条旧船了。原是我父亲的，我父亲是这个地方最好的渔夫。我呢？除了这条船外，一无所有。……哦！读了，还有这片土地，这片大海，也是我们的。”我永远忘不了他眼睛里的自豪感。 答案:The next morning, the sky was dark and cloudy, the sea waves rose and fell, but later the sun was coming out. After the storm, the air was fresher and cooler and the sea was shining. After breakfast I took a walk outside by way of the market, and I saw there was fresh fish caught from the sea and sold on the booth. I walked towards the seashore and saw that the shining fishing boats were coming back in the sunshine. They were fully loaded of the fish and driving closely to the shore.Suddenly, I heard someone speaking in the cold air. This was a deep and powerful voice of an old fisherman. It turned out that the first fishing boat coming back was his. We had a talk. He said," this is an old boat. It originally belonged to my father and he was the best fisherman in this place. But for me, I have nothing except this fishing boat...oh, well, this land and the sea are also
