Peter Newmark:

The first traces of translation date from 3000 BC, during the Egyptian Old Kingdom, in the area of the First Cataract, Elephantine, where inscriptions i n two languages have been found.

最早的翻译的痕迹来自公元前3000年，那时正是古埃及王朝。在第一瀑布（注：地处埃及和苏丹的边界，亚斯旺南郊）首次发现了用两种语言篆刻的碑文。

It became a significant factor in the West in 300 BC, when the Romans took over wholesale many elements of Greek culture, including the whole religious apparatus.

一个很重要的因素是：公园前300年的西方，罗马人垄断了许多的希腊文化元素，包括整个宗教组织。In the twelfth century, the West came into contact with Islam in Moorish Sp ain.

在二十世纪，西方人开始与西班牙的摩尔穆斯林们建立联系。

The situation favoured the two essential conditions for large-scale translation (Storig, 1963):

翻译作业练习2 参考译文

When you have married your wife, you would think you were got upon a hill top, and might begin to go downward by an easy slope. But you have only ended courting (求爱) to begin marriage. Falling in love and winning love are often difficult tasks to overbearing（傲慢的）and rebellious spirits; but to keep in love is also a business of some importance, to which both man and wife must bring kindness and goodwill. The true love story commences（begins）at the altar, when there lies before the married pair a most beautiful contest of wisdom and generosity, and a life-long struggle towards an unattainable ideal. Unattainable? Ay, surely unattainable, from the very fact that they are two instead of one.

翻译作业2

1.According to the author, how many types of unqualified translation are

there? Please list them out and illustrate with examples.

(1). 错译如：

同志！说起来可是······一家子，三几年没有穿新衣呀！

原译：“Comrade! Let’s treat each other as one family,” the old woman said.”We haven’t had new clothes for over three years.”

改译：Comrade, I'm very sorry to say, nobody in our family has ever had any new clothes for about three years.

(2). 漏译如：

群众是复杂的，工作又很多。

原译：The masses of people are complex. Especially in the present masses there are extremely complex elements.

改译：The situations are very complicated with the masses of the people. And we have a lot of work to do.

(3).马虎翻译如：

Try to be modest and prudent, guard against complacency.

实用文体翻译作业2

好的广告语翻译：

1. Easier dusting by stre-e-etch.（除尘布）

拉拉拉长，除尘力强。

分析：stretch一词除了作为除尘布的品牌名称“拉长”外，其拼写被别出心裁地拉长的效果，形成感觉上的延伸，这便传达出该词的本意“延伸”，真切而形象地渲染了产品的功效。

2. One good banking ideas in Canada led us to another in London.

加拿大非凡的银行概念，指引我们在伦敦再创辉煌。

分析：该口号在谚语：A good turn deserves another（善有善报）的基础上进行了较大的扩张。该广告的撰写者旁敲侧击巧妙地将加拿大银行暗含其中，而且选用“善有善报”来创新以作为银行的广告口号是再合适不过了，因为它除了本身意思以外，还承载着弦外之音：存款在银行，总会有回报。

3. All work and no play make a dull stay. （Ming Court大饭店）

只工作不玩耍，生活单调无味。

分析：这则口号套用了英语中的一句著名谚语：All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy（只工作不玩耍，聪明孩子也变傻）。这家大饭店套用那句谚语，意在招徕客人，使他们逗留新加坡时去他们饭店，在那里可以尽情享受，以免旅途成为dull stay。众所周知，新加坡是通行英语的国家，而从事国际事物的人基本上都懂英语，因此，他们很容易明白这则口号个中的涵义，也就有可能投宿这家饭店。

4. One man’s sushi is another man’s steak.（日本航空公司）

What is it that we mean by literature? Popularly, and amongst the thoughtless, it is held to include everything that is printed in a book. Little logic is required to disturb that definition. The most thoughtless person is easily made aware that in the idea of literature one essential element is some relation to a general and common interest of man—so that what applies only to a local, or professional, or merely personal interest, even though presenting itself in the shape of a book, will not belong to Literature. So far the definition is easily narrowed; and it is as easily expanded. For not only is much that takes a station in books not literature; but inversely, much that really is literature never reaches a station in books. The weekly sermons of Christendom, that vast pulpit literature which acts so extensively upon the popular mind—to warn, to uphold, to renew, to comfort, to alarm—does not attain the sanctuary of libraries in the ten-thousandth part of its extent. The Drama again—as, for instance, the finest of Shakespeare’s plays in England, and all leading Athenian plays in the noontide of the Attic stage—operated as a literature on the public mind, and were (according to the strictest letter of that term) published through the audiences that witnessed their representation some time before they were published as things to be read; and they were published in this scenical mode of publication with much more effect than they could have had as books during ages of costly copying or of costly printing.

Passage one: College Life

1 If life were a colorful drawing, college life would be one of the brightest colors. If life were a meaningful poem, college life would be one of the most beautiful words. College life is an especially important period of time. If you make good use of your golden time in college, you will learn a lot of things not only in the textbooks, but also outside the textbooks; not only in theory, but also in practice.

2 When you become a college student, it means you begin to lead another new life, and learn to support yourself. You need to be used to the new surroundings. You must try everything by yourself. You must learn to stand on your feet with no walking stick.

So, how are we to improve the production of knowledgeable （有知识的）people and the creation of new knowledge in Guangdong? Since my experience is in universities, I shall speak mainly about them. However, let me first refer（参考）briefly to schools. It is evident that the government must advance（发展）the well-being（福利）of the whole province by developing education in the poorer and less provided areas in the East, North and West of the province. // Intelligence（才智）and talent（才能）have little to do with social circumstance（环境）, but lack of opportunity in education deprives（剥夺）not only individuals but the whole province of their contribution to prosperity（繁荣）.// In the second place, I believe that there is a need（需求）throughout（遍及）the secondary schools（中学）in the province to review carefully how best to teach students. I mean by this that it is essential to look beyond the instruction（教导）of students in the classroom (making them learn a lot of connected（连贯的), ordered（有序的）information) towards getting them increasingly（越来越多地）to learn for themselves individually （独自地）and collectively（共同地）through shared tasks（任务）and the development of curiosity（好奇心）and questioning（询问）.// It is here that the foundations of creativity （创造力）and self-starting learning （自我学习）are founded. There is much literature（文献）on this and I do not have time here to summarize（概述）it. //
