1. As the west sleepwalks into a decade in which moral confidence and steadfastness will be increasingly needed and decreasingly found, and as a cry for “leadership” issues from millions who probably would not recognize it if they saw it, and probably reject it if they did, John Paul II
becomes more fascinating.
①约翰?保罗二世之所以在西方变得越发具有魅力，并原因盖出于此。②当西方恍恍惚惚进入八十年代的时候，③千百万人迫切要求加强“领导”，而当胜任的领导出现的时候，他们却又可能视而不见，或者见到了又拒不接受。④人们的道德信念和坚韧精神日益消退，而获得这一切的希望又日趋渺茫。
2. It has been noted with concern that the stock of books in the library has been declining alarmingly. Students are asked to remind themselves of the rules for borrowing and return of books, and to bear in mind the needs of other students. Penalties for overdue books will in the future be strictly enforced.
①近来已注意到本馆存书惊人地减少，②今后凡借书逾期不还者，必将严格按章处罚。③此事令人关切。④现要求学生不要忘记借书还书规则，并考虑其它同学的需要。
3. There is nothing more disappointing to a hostess who has gone to a lot of trouble or expense than to have her guest so interested in talking politics or business with her husband that he fails to notice the flavour of the coffee, the lightness of the cake, or the attractiveness of the house, which may be her chief interest and pride.
①最令女主人失望的是，她花了许多心神或费用来招待客人，②丝毫也没注意到咖啡的香浓、糕点的松软或房间内讲究的陈设，③可是这位客人只顾津津有味地与她的丈夫论政治、谈生意，④而这些却可能是她最感兴趣、最为自豪的东西。
4. We have to keep tr ying, and risk failing, in order to solve this country’s problems. We cannot move forward if cynics and critics swoop down and pick apart anything that goes wrong to a point where we lose sight of what is right, decent, and uniquely good about $2.
①如果听任那些愤世嫉俗者和吹毛求疵的人不分青红皂白，不论事情大小都大做文章，②这样的话，我们就不会前进。③那么我们就看不出美国正确、大气和独有的长处。④我们要不断尝试，敢于失败，以求能解决这个国家的问题。
5. That story never fails to touch me or the audience. It is a metaphor for what we have to do as a nation. We have to start thinking of $2 as a family. We have to stop screeching at each other, stop hurting each other, and instead start caring for, sacrificing for, and sharing with each other. We have to stop continually criticizing, which is the cry of the ideologue, and instead get back to the can-do attitude that made $2.

IV．下面的汉语段落提供的译文没有排序，请根据原文将译文排序，使之成为一个连贯的段落。
（每小题5分，10分）
1. 不逢北国之秋，已将近十余年了。在南方每年到了秋天，总要想起陶然亭的芦花，钓鱼台的柳影，西山的虫唱，玉泉的夜月，潭拓寺的钟声。在北平即使不出门去罢，就是在皇城
人海之中，租人家一椽破屋来住着，早晨起来，泡一碗浓茶，向院子一坐，你也能看得到很高很高的碧绿的天色，听得到青天下驯鸽的飞声。从槐树叶底，朝东细数着一丝一丝漏下来的日光，或在破壁腰中，静对着像喇叭似的牵牛花（朝荣）的蓝朵，自然而然地也能够感觉到十分的秋意。说到了牵牛花，我以为蓝色或白色者为佳，紫黑色次之，淡红色最下。最好，还要在牵牛花底教长着几根疏疏落落的尖细且长的秋草，使作陪衬。
①It is more than a decade since I last saw autumn in the North. ②Suppose you put up in a humble rented house inside the bustling imperial city, you can, on getting up at dawn, sit in your courtyard sipping a cup of strong tea, leisurely watch the high azure skies and listen to pigeons circling overhead. ③As to morning glories, I like their blue or white flowers best, dark purple ones second best, and pink ones third best. ④When I am in the south, the arrival of each autumn will put me in mind of Peiping’s Tao Ran Ting with its reed catkins, Diao Yu Tai with its shady willow trees, Western Hills with their chirping insects, Yu Quan Shan Mountain on a moonlight evening and Tan Zhe Si with its reverberating bell. ⑤Saunter eastward under locust trees to closely observe streaks of sunlight filtering through their foliage, or quietly watch the
trumpet-shaped blue flowers of morning glories climbing half way up a dilapidated wall, and an intense feeling of autumn will of itself well up inside you. ⑥It will be most desirable to have them set off by some tall thin grass planted underneath here and there.
2. 文化并不限于语言那么简单，它包含了思想、感情和我认为特别重要的一环――感官反映。要知道自己的文化倾向，最准确的指标可以说是我们的直觉反应。语言固然是其中一种指标，因为没有多少人会用第二语言来表达突如其来的痛楚或快感；但同样我们也有非常明显的非语言指标，其中一项很重要的就是对食物的偏爱，特别是身体不舒服的时候想吃什么。上面所说的种种，大概可以概括地称为本能感觉。正因为这些反映完全不受我们自己或别人的希望支配和伪装，所以准确性很高。
①Culture is not just a matter of language; ②few people would shout out sudden pain and pleasure in a second language. ③It is our instinctive responses which invariably reveal our cultural affiliations. ④Language is one obvious indicator; ⑤it involves the intellect, emotion, and----to me the most important of all ---- our senses. ⑥But there are clear non-linguistic indicators as well, one of the most important being our preferences for food, particularly when we feel unwell.
⑦Since these are responses uncamouflaged by our own or other people’s manipulation and wishful thinking, they are very reliable. ⑧All these can perhaps be summed up as “gut feelings”.
V．请将下列短文翻译成汉语。（20分）
Why is this? The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life is nowhere else so evident as
in our youth. And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life which we feel so poignantly, so unutterably, with such a bitter pain and joy, when we are young? It is this: that being rich, we are so poor; that being mighty, we can yet have nothing; that seeing, breathing, smelling, tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth, feeling with an intolerable certitude that the whole structure of the enchanted life----the most fortunate, wealthy, good, and happy life that any man has ever known----is ours----is ours at once, immediately and forever, the moment that we choose to take a step, or stretch a hand, or say a word----we yet know that we really keep, hold, take and possess forever----nothing. All passes; nothing lasts: the
moment that we put our hand upon it, it melts away like smoke, is gone forever, and the snake is eating at our heart again; we see then what we are and what our lives must come to.(15分)
The gods, they say, give breath, and they take it away. But the same could be said ---- could it not? ---- of the humble comma. Add it to the present clause, and, of a sudden, the mind is, quite literally, given pause to think; take it out if you wish or forget it and the mind is deprived of a resting place. Yet still the comma gets no respect. It seems just a slip of a thing, a pedant’s(书呆子) tick, a blip（光点）on the edge of our consciousness, a kind of printer’s smudge（污点）almost. Small, we claim, is beautiful (especially in the age of the microchip). Yet what is so often used, and so rarely called, as the comma ---- unless it be breath itself? (5分)
VI．请将下列短文翻译成英语。（20分）
我的第一个先生就是我的母亲。我已经说过使我认识“爱”字的是她。在我幼儿的时候，她是我的世界的中心。她很完美地体现了一个“爱”字。她使我知道人间的温暖；她使我知道爱与被爱的幸福。她常常用温和的口气，对我解释种种的事情。她教我爱一切的人，不管他们贫与富；她教我帮助那些在困苦中需要扶持的人；她教我同情那些景遇不好的婢仆，怜恤他们，不要把自己看得比他们高，动辄将他们打骂。
母亲自己也处过不少得逆境。在大家庭里作媳妇，这苦处是不难想到的。但是母亲从不曾在我眼前淌过泪，或者说过什么悲伤的话。她给我看见的是永远是温和的，带着微笑的脸。(15分)

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).

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.

笔译类非英语专业组 I. Translate the Following Passage into Chinese (50 Points)： I noticed that the leaves on most of the trees in the woods where I often take my dogs have started to change color. Normally, they are green but during the autumn season here in eastern Canada, they start to turn into shades of red, yellow and orange. This is a regular seasonal occurrence in my part of the world as entire forests turn into colorful places of beauty that attracts lots of photographers. The trees change through the autumn season as they prepare for our long Canadian winter. Once the winter is over, the trees will start growing leaves again as the temperatures warms up in the springtime. Although considered a novelty to most tourists, these autumn changes are part of regular life each year here in Canada. Change, of course, is now considered to be regular in our fast-paced world. Technology changes at lightning speed which can result in jobs lost. Skills and knowledge that we have will require updating on a regular basis no w just so that we don’t become outdated. It is certainly not like the old days anymore when we can just learn a certain skill or trade and expect to use that same knowledge for the rest of our working careers. Change itself can be quite scary but we should learn from nature —because change is natural. Change has been happening in nature since the beginning of time.

河南省翻译竞赛试卷3
2014年河南省翻译竞赛试题 （本科、硕士研究生专业组）答案 1. 英译汉 我们迟早一定会意识到，我们不得不在地球所能提供的物质财富范围内生活。水源地球能给我们提供多少，我们就只能用多少，绝对多用不了。全球可持续的文明并不意味着我们过穷日子，没有快乐可言。相反，我们有非常丰富的文明资源。在此情况下，我们所使用的资源不会超出（多于）环境所能提供给我们的。我们将此称为生态资源丰富。我们可以拥有最高质量的新的生活方式，这种生活方式不但不会破坏全球生态系统，反而能治愈生态环境创伤。 不破坏环境的生活质量并非是“回归自然”。你不必像梭罗那样过着苦行生式的田园生活，（除非你想那样生活）。这刻意味着生活在非常高级的城市里面，守着家，享受创造性工作带来的喜悦，享受多元文化、高雅的公园以及高雅的文艺生活等。城市可以做到既漂亮又环保。好的生活方式可意味着信仰宗教，享受美感，参与社团生活。未来文明绝非生活单调，而是由各式各样的生活方式。 做到既富有又不破坏环境的途径很多，有些牵涉到对大自然的热爱，有些涉及到高科技，有些又与戏剧、垒球、剧院及爵士音乐有关。地球会有许多古老而又极富生物多样性的保护区，而有些人将对了解这些生物多样性充满热情。有些人将会热衷于环球帆船赛、滑翔伞、捕鸟、养花、水栽培、板球、野营、或在美丽的景区散步等活动。数码技术将给全球的电脑带来极其丰富的虚拟现实的电脑游戏，运用高保真耳机和高清晰护目镜，我们可以在任何地点观看最先进的娱乐节目。 未来世界的特点是知识快速增加，将知识应用于工作的技术快速提高。日常工作将继续由机器完成，让人越来越专注于需要人类情感的工作和创新性工作。21世纪将会有很多高端针对生态资源富足研究的创新。将会对生态资源富足的研究产生几乎无限多的业余爱好和兴趣。 2. 汉译英 Language reflects the path of social development, for every major change to the society in the history of China has brought a myriad of new terms into existence. Language, a social phenomenon, evolves with the community. Lexis is the most active element of languages, because social changes, scientific and technological advances, new thinking and fresh ideas are quickly embodied in the word-stock. Most
