九月十日是教师节。教师在人们的心目中究竟是什么样子呢？清华附中的小记者走出校门，采访了76位路人。采访发现，83 %的人认为老师肩负着培养下一代的重任，是提高全民族文化素质
的决定因素，值得尊敬。

Eighty-three of those surveyed said that teachers should be held in high esteem because they are committed to the shaping of the younger generation, an undertaking crucial to achieving a higher level of education in China.
II. Translate the following passages.
1. 国际形势正在发生重大的变化。在各国人民的共同努力下，世界和平是可以维护的，争取一个较长时间的国际和平环境也是可能的。但是发达国家与发展中国家之间的经济差距在继续扩大，这不利于国际局势的稳定。
2 微笑不花一分钱却能创造很大的价值。微笑使接受微笑的人富裕，但却不使施予微笑者贫困。微笑产生于一刹那之间，但有时却能使人留下永生难忘的记忆。没有一个富人富到不要微笑也可以过日子，也没有一个穷人穷到连微笑都没有。然而，不管是穷是富，二者均能从微笑中得到好处。
3. 中国独生子女家庭消费有“三多”，即购置儿童玩具多，订阅儿童报刊杂志多，到儿童娱乐场所活动多。而青年人则积极学习文化科学知识，学习外语，老年人的文化活动内容也越来越丰富。
4. 据统计，北京市迄今为止已有近百万外来工，这些平均年龄在20岁左右的工人对文化娱乐生活的渴求非常强烈。为满足他们的文化需要，一种自荐、自费、自演、自娱的群众文化活动产生了。
5. 环境是指我们周围的一切：植物、动物、建筑物、土地、空气、水-- 实际指的就是在各方面都对我们有影响的一切东西。人类也是环境的一部分。人在地球上短暂的一生对生态关系的破坏多于其他生物。人类之所以如此，是由于无知、贪婪和浪费成性。
6.上海自行车三厂，生产驰名中外的凤凰牌自行车。年产335万辆，年出口122万辆，畅销全国和世界上八十多个国家和地区。凤凰牌自行车有16、20、24、26、27、28英寸六大系列，分为普通、轻便、运动、赛车、特种车等类型一百四十余种花色品种。凤凰牌自行车七次荣获全国第一，PA18型和26英寸系列荣获国家银质奖。凤凰牌自行车是中国自行车行业中唯一荣获国际明星奖的产品，上海自行车三厂也是国内自行车行业第一个国家一级企业。凤凰将更好地为你服务。
7.有个读书人家里很穷，却很爱面子。有个晚上，小偷到他的家里来行窃，却没有东西可偷的，就说：“晦气，碰到了穷鬼！”读书人听见了，就从床头摸出仅有的几文钱，追上去，拉住小偷，轻轻地说：“你来得真不巧，将就些吧，请把这几文钱拿去。不过在人家面前，你可千万不要随便说，给我留点面子啊！”8. 近年来，随着农村经济的发展，中国的农民逐渐富裕起来。但是他们也越来越感到因为科学知识的不足和人才的缺乏，影响着经济的进一步发展。因此政府为此多次召开会议作出决定，要花大力气办教育，为农村的经济腾飞培养人才，积蓄后劲。9. 家是给人住的，因此，我想一切都应该以让人不感到别扭为度。过分用心了，人便变成了家的奴隶，整天替家当保姆，不值得。一个让人羡慕的家庭环境，所有的布置都应该是以能促进家庭成员彼此之间的健康和谐为基本的前提。一个好的家居要充满人情味，太干净、太讲究，人情味必打折扣。有的人的家里，喜欢收拾到仅供外宾参观似的结果，作为家庭的主人，自己也成了无所适从的客人。
10. 由小学到中学，所修习的无非是一些普通的基本知识。就是大学四年，所授课业也还是相当粗浅的学识。世人常称大学为“最高学府”，这名称易滋误解，好像过此以上即无学问可言。大学的研习所才是初步研究的所在，在这里做学问也只能算是粗涉藩篱，注重的是研究学问的方法与实习。学无止境。一生的时间都嫌太短，所以古人皓首穷经，头发白了还在继续研究，不过在这样的研究中确是有浓厚的兴趣。
汉英翻译练习十篇
1.浪漫 一个小伙子暗恋着一个女孩。女孩是他的同事，他们在一个办公室里工作。小伙子性格内向，不善言辞，他不知道如何向女孩子表达他的爱慕之意。写情书罢，小伙子是学理工的，一直搞技术工作，满脑子的图形，就是没有一句有文采的话。小城也没有鲜花店，电影电视上常见的送花那一套也无从说起。至于直接了当地告诉女孩子说“我爱你”，小伙子就更没有那胆量了。 这样的恋情应该说是没有什么希望的了。事实上一年后他们却结了婚。有人向小伙子讨教，他说：“我每天上班第一件事就是帮她擦桌子，然后为她泡上一杯她喜欢喝的绿茶。她的胃不好，我经常备些胃药放在她的桌上。一开始她不知道是我做的这些事情，时间长了就知道了。就这么简单。” 忍不住叫人想到“浪漫”一词。写情书是一种浪漫，送99朵玫瑰是一种浪漫。我不知道，擦桌子泡茶送药是否也是一种浪漫。浪漫是没有定式的，或许那些实实在在地呵护和关爱才是真正的浪漫，它是生命之火所点燃的最绚烂的花朵。
2.家信 大学时代，情书可以少写或不写，家信是少不了的。 刚进大学时，陌生的环境，陌生的人群，甚至连宿舍楼下的磁卡电话也是陌生的。于是，隔三差五一封又一封的家信带着深深的眷恋飞向父母手中。识字不多的父亲读着洋溢着南国气息的来信，觉得最惬意不过了：小学毕业的母亲竟也听得津津有味……尽管她始终搞不懂“克隆”技术究竟是怎么一回事。 入学后的新鲜感消失后，信也渐渐地少了，不会再把饭盆磕掉一块瓷之类的事告诉父母了。不过，写家信的一个最大的好处是：它让我忽然觉悟到父母深藏不露的幽默。父母的回信上，除了老生常谈的好好学习、遵守纪律外，还有一些令大学教授都为之皱眉的离奇的事。例如，最近一封来信，正值联合国秘书长安南为解决伊拉克武器核查危机前往巴格达而进行外交斡旋。父亲在信中说，报上那个隐形战斗机分明可以看到，干嘛说它“隐形”呢? 对于这类问题，我总是写信耐心地解释给他们听。回答不了的，查资料，问老师，以满足这两位“编外大学生”的求知欲望。去年寒假回家，母亲竟然背诵出“信息高速公路”的定义来……当然，有几处是父亲提醒的。 父母同样需要新鲜知识，需要倾心交流，需要关爱和理解，家信是再好不过了。拿起笔来，写封家信吧，偶尔撒个娇也无妨。
汉英翻译教程1
《汉英翻译教程》－作者不详，在此致谢！ 第一章 词的选择 词义的正确选择首先取决于对原文的确切理解，而对原文词义的确切理解又取决于对原文上下文的推敲。有些词看起来很简单，翻译时一下子就会想到常用的对应词。但又是最常用的对应词却不能准确地表达原作的意思。例如： 还要努力读一点历史和小说。 We should also find time to read some history books and novels. 这里“努力”一词理解为“挤出时间”是对的，如译为make an effort，则会使人误解为我们文化水平低，读历史和小说很费力。 再比如“水平”一词译成英语，不一定都是level, 要根据句子的含义确定译法。 1．他的英语水平比我的高。 He knows more English than I. 这里，汉语“水平”一词虽未译出，但其以已含在句子中。若照汉语字面应译成：The level of his English is higher than that of mine.就不符合英语表达习惯。 2．要奋发图强，把我军的军政素质提高到一个新的水平……。 We must work hard to r aise to a new height the military and political quality of our army……. 这里“水平”指高度，故译作height，和动词搭配也比较顺。 3．各级领导干部必须提高领导水平。 Cadres at all levels should improve their art of leadership. 这里的“领导水平”，实际上指领导能力、领导艺术、故译作art of leadership. 以上的例子说明一个词的具体含义往往要结合上下文才能确定，在翻译的时候也只有结合上下文来考虑怎样处理这个词，才能译得准确。因此在辨析词义和正确选词时可注意下列几种情况。 （一）注意词的广义与狭义 英语中有不少同义词的词义有广、狭之区别，运用范围也就各不相同。例如 1．农业是国民经济的基础。 Agriculture is the foundation of the national economy. 原文“农业”一词是广义，指一切农业经济（农、牧、林、渔），古译作agriculture。但在“农林牧副渔结合的方针”中，农与林木副渔并立，是指耕作的农业，不是指整个农业经济，古译作farming。整个词组应译为the principle of combining farming, forestry, animal husbandry, side-occupations and fishery. 2．他从不喝酒。 He never touches wine. 原文“酒”是指一切酒类，故译作wine。但在“他不喝烈性酒”一句中，“酒”是狭义，是和淡性酒相对而言的，又需译作spirits。 （二）注意词义的强弱 3．反动派的暴行激起了人民的极大愤怒。 The atrocities of the reactionaries roused the people to great indignation. 这里的“愤怒”含义强烈，故在译文中选用了indignation,而不用anger. 4．孙中山是个好人。 Dr. Sun Y et-sen was a man of integrity. 如果译作a good man, 则与这位伟大的革命先行者的身份不相称。 （三）注意词义的褒贬

II.The Points to Be Highlighted 1.verb without subject changed into verb with subject. 2.paralleled sentence without connections changed into complex sentence with connections. 3.implied cohesion changed into clear cohesion.back conclusion changed into front conclusion. III.T eaching Procedures and Contents 1.Greetings Talking about the Weather 2.Warm-up 1) 天气不错，是吧？ 2) 今天天气看上去不错。 3) 看来天气要放晴。 4) 雪开始下小了。 5) 现在已经开始掉小雨点了。 1) Lovely day, isn’t it? 2) It looks to be a promising day. 3) It seems to be clearing up. 4)The snow is beginning to let up. 5) I can feel some small drops of rain now. 3.Body 翻译的方法 “词词对应，句句对应”是把直译绝对化，事实上很难办到，勉强这样做时往往弄得文字别扭，意思歪曲。另一方面，意译如果离原意太远就不能称之为翻译，是不受欢迎的。“语言是翻译之敌”。在翻译的具体过程中，语言时时都在束缚着译者，不少译者眼中只盯着原文的词，句和结构这些属于语言层次的东西，成了它们的奴仆，难以从中解放出来。结果，翻译出来的东西只是一种文字层次的转换，徒具形式，而原文的意义和精神却没有得到很好的传达。翻译的方法应该是：译者在读第二遍原文时，不是逐词逐句分析，而是对全段意思作深层次的掌握，以便从整体上进行翻译，像口译那样把原意尽量传达出来；具体翻译时虽然也适当考虑原文结构，形势却可于原文大不一样。然后再对照原文复核，使之更加切合原意。 规律 汉语是意合式语言而英语是形合式语言，从汉语译成英语便是从意合改为形合。所谓规律也就是指进行这种转变时通常会遇到的问题及处理方法。 Foreign Language Teaching and Research Department

1过年 在从前的农业社会里，中国人最重要的节日就是过年。对过去的一年来说，这是结束；对未来的一年来说，这是开始。一进入腊月，街头巷尾就充满了过年的气氛，这种气氛要持续一个半月之久。大家不仅借着各种游乐节目来调剂一年来的辛劳，同时也在游乐中流露着一种乐观进取的精神。过年时，每家门上都贴上了春联，耀眼的红纸增加了人们的喜气，优美的字句提供了勉励。 Spring Festival In China’s formerly agricultural society, Spring Festival was the most important holiday. It was the end of the previous year and the beginning of the next. When the twelfth month of the lunar year began, the happiness of new-year celebration pervaded the streets for a month and a half. People sought relief from the previous year’s scrolls were put on the doors of every family in Spring Festival: the shiny red scrolls increasing happiness and the rhythmic words giving encouragement. 2亚欧合作 中国有句古话：“相知无远近，万里尚为邻”。中国与亚洲各国山水相连，共同铸就了灿烂的亚洲文明；古老而美丽的“丝绸之路”，谱写了中欧千年往来的美好篇章。中国与亚欧各国的互利合作正在步入下一个全新的阶段。中国将致力于同亚欧各国发展富有活力和长期稳定的全面合作关系，与亚欧各国相互支持，携手前进，共创美好未来。 Euro-Asian Cooperation In China, there is an old saying, “Long distances never separate close friends.”Linked and intertwined by mountains and rivers, China and other Asian countries have helped to build a splendid Asian civilization. The ancient Silk Road recorded great chapters in the history of exchange between China and Europe in previous millennia. Now, China and other Asian countries as well as European countries have marched into a brand-new ear of cooperation and mutual benefit. China will devote itself to building dynamic, stable, and long-term cooperation in various fields across Asia and Europe and marching forward, with other countries on the two continents, in a concerted effort to attain a brighter future. 3四合院 中国旧时家庭重视家庭成员间的长幼有序和伦理观念，其住宅为了适应这种需要建成了四合院。在高高的基地上，中间是正房，两边是厢房。房屋的分配按辈分的大小来决定，长辈住正房，晚辈住厢房。富贵人家的房屋也是四合院，只是院落较多而已。宫廷和寺庙，院落更大，一道一道地进去，更使人有种庄严高贵的感觉。随着时代的演变，现在中国都市里的房屋很多已经西化了，虽然住进了一排排的公寓，但是他们生活的方式仍然保持着过去的优良传统。

汉英翻译
汉英翻译 正确确立单句的主干： 1主语的确立： 英语主语的严格性，只能由名词（或）代词，例如We can solve the problem. This problem can be solved in many ways.）或具有名词语法功能的语言单位（如动词不定式、动名词、名词性从句>一般指主语从句，例如To solve this problem needs patience. Working ingeniously >adj.有独创性的，具有创造才能的adv. working ingeniously有才能地，巧干> may help you learn English well. It is not known yet whether they will return today.）来充当。 2．直接用原文的主语 1) 如果不适当地处理，锅炉及机动车辆排出的废气就会造成城市空气污染。 Exhaust from boilers and vehicles, unless properly treated, causes air pollution in cities. 2) 如果说，词汇是语言的“建筑材料”，那么，句子便是文章的“基本部件”。 If vocabulary is the “building materials”for language, sentences are the “fundamental parts”of writings. 3．替换主语以符合英语表达 1) ①鲁迅的骨头是最硬的，②他没有丝毫的奴颜和媚骨，③这是殖民地半殖民地人民最可宝贵的性格。 Lu Hsun was a man of unyielding integrity, free from all sycophancy－拍马屁，奉承or obsequiousness－谄媚; this quality is invaluable among colonial and semi-colonial people. 原文由意义上相互联系，结构上却相互独立的三个小句组成复句。主语分别为名词“骨头”、代词“他”和“这”。译者将①②合为一个分句，改原来作定语的“鲁迅”为主语，同时舍弃了“骨头是最硬的”这个在汉语中比喻人的品格“刚正不阿”的形象，以 a man of unyielding integrity 这一意译的方式取而代之；“性格”（this quality）一词原在句③充当谓语的述宾结构中的宾语，现改作主语，译文曲尽原意，语言自然。如若搬照原文的主语，死译硬译，则成为典型的中式英语。试比较一下译文： Lu Hsun’s bones were the hardest; he was free from all sycophancy or obsequiousness; this is invaluable among colonial and semi-colonial people. 2) 胎又瘪了。 We’ve got another flat tire.
