我的第一份工作
当我十二岁时我永远地离开了学校,同时得到了我的第一份全职工作,作为一个食品杂货商的男孩。我每天都在搬沉重的货物,不过干得倒也挺带劲。要不是我能干重活,我早就给辞退了,因为老板要我毕恭毕敬的给那些上等人说话,这样干,我实在受不了。

In addition, one class of family reasons shares a border with the following category, namely, having children in order to maintain or improve a marriage: to hold the husband or occupy the wife; to repair or rejuvenate the marriage; to increase the number of children on the assumption that family happiness lies that way. The point is underlined by its converse: in some societies the failure to bear children (or males) is a threat to the marriage and a ready cause for divorce.

2015英译汉At its heart, psycholinguistic work consists of two questions. One is, What knowledge of language is needed for us to use language? In a sense, we must know a language to use it, but we are not always fully aware of this knowledge. A distinction may be drawn between tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge. Tacit knowledge refers to the knowledge of how to perform various acts, whereas explicit knowledge refers to the knowledge of the processes or mechanisms used in these acts. We sometimes know how to do something without knowing how we do it. For instance, a baseball pitcher (投手) might know how to throw a baseball 90 miles an hour but might have little or no explicit knowledge of the muscle groups that are involved in this act. Similarly, we may distinguish between knowing how to speak and knowing what processes are involved in producing speech. Generally speaking, much of our linguistic knowledge is tacit rather than explicit.参考译文:心理语言学的研究包括两个核心问题。

2017年英语专业八级翻译系列:汉译英--文学类1你是否觉得劳生草草,身心两乏?我劝你工余之暇,常到小巷里走走,那是最的将息,会使你消除疲劳,紧张的心弦得到调整。
你如果有时情绪烦躁,心境悒郁,我劝你到小巷里负手行吟一阵,你一定会豁然开朗,怡然自得,物我两忘。
你有爱人吗?我建议不要带她去什么名园胜境,还是利用晨昏时节,到深巷中散散步。
在那里,你们俩可以随意谈天,心贴得更,在街上那种贪婪的睨视,恶意的斜觑,巷里是没有的;偶然呀的一声,墙门口显现出一个人影,又往往是深居简出的姑娘,看见你们,会娇羞地返身回避了。
巷,是人海汹汹中的一道避风塘,给人带来安全感;是城市喧嚣扰攘中的一带洞天幽境,胜似皇家的阁道,便于平常百姓徘徊徜徉。
爱逐臭争利,锱铢必较的,请到长街闹市去;爱轻嘴薄舌,争是论非的,请到茶馆酒楼去;爱锣鼓钲镗,管弦嗷嘈的,请到歌台剧院去;爱宁静淡泊,沉思默想的,深深的小巷在欢迎你!背景介绍《巷》是柯灵(1909 ~ 2000 )写于1930年秋的一篇小品散文。
作者以沉挚细腻的笔调描述了江南小城市中的小巷,向往那里悠闲宁静的情调,流露出对大都市喧闹纷争生活的厌恶。
本文语言流畅,玲珑剔透,一气呵成,翻译时,应尽量再现原文的韵味。
难点解析1. 你是否觉得劳生草草:“劳生”作“辛劳的生活”解;“草草”作“忧虑”解。
全句可译为“Aren ’t you weighed down with cares in this life of hard toil...”。
weigh sb. down: depress; make tired, troubled, etc. (使闷闷不乐;使某人困乏、担心、忧虑等)。
例如,weighed down with sorrow / anxieties(因忧伤/焦虑而闷闷不乐)。
2. 身心两乏:意为“身体上和心理上都感到困乏”。
故可译为“exhausted physically and mentally”或“exhausted both in body and mind”。

TRANSLATIONCHINESE TO ENGLISH丄、一个人的生命究竟冇多大意义,这冇什么标准可以衡量吗?捉出一个绝对的标准当然很困难;但是,大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真,看他对待劳动、工作等等的态度如何,也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。
古来一切有成就的人,都很严肃地对待自己的生命,当他活着一天,总要尽量多劳动、多工作、多学习,不肯虚度年华,不让时间白白地浪费掉。
我国历代的劳动人民及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此。
2、中华民族自古以来从不把人看作高于一切,在哲学文艺方面的表现都反映出人在口然界中与万物占有比例较为恰当的地位,而非绝对统治万物的主宰。
因此我们的苦闷基木上比西方人为少为小;因为苫闷的强弱原是随欲望与野心的人小而转移的。
农业社会的人比工业社会的人享受差得多;因此欲望也小得多。
何况中国占代素來以不滞丁•物、不为物役为最主要的人生哲学。
并非我们没有守财奴,但比起莫里哀与巴尔扎克笔下的守财奴与野心家来,就小巫见大巫了。
中华民族多数是中正和平,淡泊,朴实,比西方人容易满足。

它们几乎没冇•个顾得匕抬起头来,看一眼这美丽的黄昏。
也许它们要抓紧时间,在即将回家的最后一刻再次咀嚼。
这是黄河滩上的一幕。
牧羊人不见了,他不知在何处歇息。
只冇这些美生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。
这儿水草肥美,让它们长得滚滚的,像些胖娃娃。
如果走近了,会发现它们那可爱的神情,洁口的才齿,那丰富而单纯的表情。
如果稍稍长久一点儿端详这张张面庞,还会生出无限的怜悯。
4、都市寸土千金,地价炒得越來越高,今天将更高。
拥冇一个小小花园的希槊,对寻常之辈不啻是——种奢望、——种梦想。
我想,英实谁和冇一个小小花园,这便是我们的内心世界。
人的智力需要开发,人的内心世界也是需要开发的。

因此不少中国读者不理解她何以在西方享有那么高的声誉。
但一部小说开掘得深不深,艺术和思想是否有过人之处,的确不在题材大小。
有人把奥斯丁的作品比作越咀嚼越有味道的橄榄。
这不仅因为她的语言精彩,并曾对小说艺术的发展有创造性的贡献,也因为她的轻快活泼的叙述实际上并不那么浅白,那么透明。
史密斯夫人说过,女作家常常试图修正现存的价值秩序,改变人们对“重要”和“不重要”的看法。
也许奥斯丁的小说能教我们学会转换眼光和角度,明察到“小事”的叙述所涉及的那些不小的问题。
参考译文:However, subject matter is indeed not the decisive factor by which we judge a novel of its depth as well as (of ) its artistic appeal and ideological content (or: as to whether a novel digs deep or not or whether it excels in artistic appeal and ideological content). Some people compare Austen’s works to olives: themore you chew them, the more tasty (the tastier) they become. This comparison is based not only on (This is not only because of ) her expressive language and her creative contribution to the development of novel writing as an art, but also on (because of ) the fact that what hides behind her light and lively narrative is something implicit and opaque (not so explicit and transparent). Mrs. Smith once observed, women writers often sought (made attempts) to rectify the existing value concepts (orders) by changing people’s opinions on what is “important” and what is not.E-C原文I, by comparison, living in my overpriced city apartment, walking to work past putrid sacks of street garbage, paying usurious taxes to local and state governments I generally abhor, I am rated middle class. This causes me to wonder, do the measurement make sense? Are we measuring only that which is easily measured--- the numbers on the money chart --- and ignoring values more central to the good life?For my sons there is of course the rural bounty of fresh-grown vegetables, line-caught fish and the shared riches of neighbours’ orchards and gardens. There is the unpaid baby-sitter for whose children my daughter-in-law baby-sits in return, and neighbours who barter their skills and labour. But more than that, how do you measure serenity? Sense if self?I don’t want to idealize life in small places. There are times when the outside world intrudes brutally, as when the cost ofgasoline goes up or developers cast their eyes on untouched farmland. There are cruelties, there is intolerance, there are all the many vices and meannesses in small places that exist in large cities. Furthermore, it is harder to ignore them when they cannot be banished psychologically to another part of town or excused as the whims of alien groups --- when they have to be acknowledged as “part of us.”Nor do I want to belittle the opportunities for small decencies in cities --- the eruptions of one-stranger-to-another caring that always surprise and delight. But these are,sadly,more exceptions than rules and are often overwhelmed by the awful corruptions and dangers that surround us.参考译文:对我的几个儿子来说,乡村当然有充足的新鲜蔬菜,垂钓来的鱼,邻里菜园和果园里可供分享的丰盛瓜果。

望着台湾这仅有的景色如画的天然湖泊,我想了许多,许多……这次到台湾访问交流,虽然行程匆匆,但是,看了不少地方,访了旧友,交了新知,大家走到一起,谈论的一个重要话题就是中华民族在21世纪的强盛。
虽然祖国大陆、台湾的青年生活在不同的社会环境中,有着各自不同的生活经历,但大家的内心都深国统一大业的早日完成。
世纪之交的宝贵机遇和巨大挑战把青年推到了历史的前台。
跨世纪青年一代应该用什么样的姿态迎接充满希望的新世纪,这是我们必须回答的问题。
日月潭水波不兴,仿佛与我一同在思索……Passage 2.( 1999年)加拿大的温哥华1986年刚刚度过百岁生日,但城市的发展令世界瞩目。
以港立市,以港兴市,是许多港口城市生存发展的道路。
经过百年开发建设,有着天然不冻良港的温哥华,成为举世闻名的港口城市,同亚洲、大洋洲、欧洲、拉丁美洲均有定期班轮,年货物吞吐量达到8,000万吨,全市就业人口中有三分之一从事贸易与运输行业。
温哥华(Vancouver)的辉煌是温哥华人智慧和勤奋的结晶,其中包括多民族的贡献。
加拿大地广人稀,国土面积比中国还大,人口却不足3000万。
吸收外来移民,是加拿大长期奉行的国策。
可以说,加拿大除了印第安人外,无一不是外来移民,不同的只是时间长短而已。
温哥华则更是世界上屈指可数的多民族城市。
现今180万温哥华居民中,有一半不是在本地出生的,每4个居民中就有一个是亚洲人。
而25万华人对温哥华的经济转型起着决定性的作用。
他们其中有一半是近5年才来到温哥华地区的,使温哥华成为亚洲以外最大的中国人聚居地。

Being in China right now I am more convinced than ever that when historians look back at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, they will say that the most important thing to happen was not the Great Recession, but China’s Green Leap Forward.

英语专业八级英译汉
BIn some societies people want children for what might be called familial reasons: to extend the family line or the family name, to propitiate the ancestors; to enable the proper functioning of religious rituals involving the family. Such reasons may seem thin in the modern, secularized society but they have been and are powerful indeed in other places.In addition, one class of family reasons shares a border with the following category, namely, having children in order to maintain or improve a marriage: to hold the husband or occupy the wife; to repair or rejuvenate the marriage; to increase the number of children on the assumption that family happiness lies that way. The point is underlined by its converse: in some societies the failure to bear children (or males) is a threat to the marriage and a ready cause for divorce.Beyond all that is the profound significance of children to the very institution of the family itself. To many people, husband and wife alone do not seem a proper family —they need children to enrich the circle, to validate its family character, to gather the redemptive influence of offspring. Children need the family, but the family seems also to need children, as the social institution uniquely available, at least in principle, for security, comfort, assurance, and direction in a changing, often hostile world. To most people, such a home base, in the literal sense, needs more than one person for sustenance and in generational extension .原译文:在某些社会中,人们希望拥有孩子是出于所谓的家庭原因:传宗接代,光宗耀祖,博取祖辈的欢心,使那些涉及到整个家族的宗教仪式得以发挥其应有的作用。

【2002年8级测试英译汉】The word “winner” and “loser” have many meanings1. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who makes someone else lose. To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society2.Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence, and manipulating others3. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable4. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.Winners are not afraid to do their own thinking and to use their own knowledge 5. They can separate facts from opinions and don't pretend to have all the answers6. They listen to others, evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions. Although winners can admire and respect other people, they are not totally defined, demolished, bound, or awed by them7.Winners do not play “helpless”,nor do they play the blaming game 8. Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives.【概述】这是一篇议论文,议题讨论人生的核心问题—-成功与失败。

They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their authors’ minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time has been to sift out the bad products for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good. Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were, in a measure, actors with them in the scenes which they describe.正确答案:书籍具有不朽的灵魂。

1. Contrast Between English and ChinesePut the following into Chinese, pay special attention to the linguistic differences between English and Chinese.Sentence translation:1.Now that you are in for it, you must carry on.2.Cigarettes were the death of me.3.If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday eveningdoes not wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street.4.If you confer a benefit, never remember it; if you receive one, remember it always.5.Her sighs made it clear that she was unhappy.6.They had no running water where they lived. Nor did they have any conveniences of lifesuch as gas and electricity.7.Theatre will be reinvented and become much freer and more imaginative.8.Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may result inserious disease if certain important elements are missing.9.By the end of the war, 800 people had been saved by the organization, but at a cost of 200Belgian and French lives.10.It should be noted that he and she were extremely close allies.Passage translation:It seemed a point scored for her side when Joanne, panicked that her father-in-law would bungle the turnoff for the Pulaski Skyway, shattered the tip of her cigarette against the back of the seat and a live ash fell on the baby‟s belly. It went unnoticed for a second until Corinne screamed; then they all saw it, a little flea of fire glowing beside the perfect navel. Joanne jumped, and squealed with guilt, and flapped her hands and stamped her feet and hugged the baby against her, but the evidence could not be destroyed; a brown dot of char on the globe of immaculate skin. Corinne continued her screams, splicing them with shrill hard gasps of intake, while everyone rummaged through purses and pockets for Vaseline, butter, toothpaste – anything for an urgent. Mother had a tiny bottle of toilet water given her in a department store; Joanne dabbed some of this on, and in time Corinne, shaken by more and more widely spaced spasms of sobbing, mercifully dragged her injury with her into the burrow of sleep.2. Cohesion1.When Smith was drunk, he used to beat his wife and daughter; and the next morning, witha headache, he would rail at the world for its neglect of his genius, and abuse, with a gooddeal of cleverness, and sometimes with perfect reason, the fools, his brother painters.2.(When one individual inflicts bodily injury upon another, such injury that death results,we call the deed man-slaughter; when the assailant knew in advance that the injury would be fatal, we call his deed murder.) But when society places hundreds of proletarians in such a position that they inevitably meet a too early and an unnatural death, one which is quite as much a death by violence as that by the sword or bullet; when it deprives thousands of the necessaries of life, places them under conditions in which they cannot live – forces them, through the strong arm of the law, to remain in such conditions until that death ensues which is the inevitable consequence –knows that these thousands of victims must perish, and yet permits these conditions to remain, its deed is murder just as surely as the deed of the single individual; disguised, malicious murder, murder against which none can defend himself, which does not seem what it is, because no man sees the murderer, because the death of the victim seems a natural one, since the offence is more one of omission than that of commission. (But murder it remains.)3 Coherence1.In that infinitesimal fraction of time, inconceivable and immeasurable, during which thefirst atomic bomb converted a small part of its matter into the greatest burst of energy released on earth up to that time, Prometheus had broken his bonds and brought a new fire down to earth, a fire three million times more powerful than the original fire he snatched from the gods for the benefit of man some five hundred thousand years ago. 2.The chess board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules ofthe game are what we call the laws of nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, just and patient. But we also know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.3.British newspapers –all of them some of the time, and some of them all the time –behave badly in two ways. They intrude unnecessarily and often hurtfully into people‟s privacy; and they publish inaccurate, sometimes made-up stories. The victims have little redress. If they are rich and the article is defamatory, they can sue for libel. Most cannot afford to do so, and even the rich cannot prevent an invasion of their privacy. Fierce competition, particularly between tabloid newspapers, leads to more feet in more doors.Translation of Idioms, Proverbs and SlangPlease translate the following passages:One afternoon I heard Imelda and her daughter arguing in the kitchen. Her daughter had quarreled with her husband‟s parents, and Imelda was insisting that she apologize to them.Her daughter o bjected. “But, Mama, I just can‟t swallow them, not even with honey. They talk so big until we need something; then they‟re too poor. So today when they wouldn‟t even lend enough to pay for a new bed, all I did was say something that I‟ve heard you say a h undred times: …If so grand, why so poor? If so poor, why so grand?‟”“Impertinent!” snorted Imelda. “Have I not also taught you, …what the tongue says, the neck pays for‟? I will not have it said that I could never teach my daughter proper respect for her elders. And before you go to beg their pardon, change those trousers for a dress. You know how your mother-in-law feels about pants on a woman. She always says, …what was hatched a hen must not try to be a rooster!‟”Her daughter made one more try. “But Mama, you often say, …If the saint is annoyed, don‟t pray to him until he gets over it.‟ Can‟t I leave it for tomorrow?”“No, no and no! Remember: …If the dose is nasty, swallow it fast.‟ You know, my child, you did wrong. But, …A gift is the key to open the door closed against you.‟ I have a cake in the oven that I was making for the Senora‟s dinner. I will explain to the senora. Now, dear, hurry home and make yourself pretty in your pink dress. By the time you get back, I will have the cake ready for you to take to your mother-in-law. She will be so pleased that she may make your father-in-law pay for the bed. Remember: …One hand washes the other, but together they wash the face.‟”。
