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.‟”。

八级考试翻译样题VII

(翻译部分,原书P. 222-223)Section A: Translate the following underlined part of the Chinese text into English(原文)约翰·施特劳斯的故居在一条大街上,是一座沿街的粉红色的四层楼老公寓房子。

施特劳斯曾住在这座房子二层楼上的两套房间里,于1886年末到1867年初在这里谱写了《蓝色的多瑙河》这支名曲。

那时他已经42岁了,在维也纳音乐界中负有盛名,但只是在这支乐曲问世以后,才奠定了他"圆舞曲之王"的地位。

这座房子距多瑙河不远,步行约半个多小时,当时还是一片大森林,施特劳斯常常穿过森林到河边去散步,现在房屋已鳞次栉比,成为热闹的大街了。

(译文)The former residence of John Strauss is situated on a big street, inside an old pink-colored four-story apartment building along the street. Strauss lived in two suites on the second floor of this building in which he composed from the end of 1866 to the beginning of 1867 the famous The Blue Danube Waltz. At that time he was already 42 years old and enjoyed a high reputation within the musical circle of Vienna. However, it was not until the composition of this melody that he became firmly established as the King of Waltz. The house in which he lived was not far away from the Danube River, which was within the reach of half an hour's walk. At that time, there was a huge forest between the river and his house and Strauss would frequently go through the forest to have a walk by the side of the river. Now the forest has been replaced by rows and rows of densely adjacent houses and buildings, turning the place into noisy streets.Section B: Translate the following underlined part of the English text into Chinese.(原文)Though fond of many acquaintances, I desire an intimacy only with a few. The Man in Black, whom I have often mentioned, is one whose friendship I could wish to acquire, because he possesses my esteem. His manners, it is true, are tinctured with some strange inconsistencies, and he may be justly termed a humorist in a nation of humorists. Though he is generous even to profusion, he affects to be thought a prodigy of parsimony and prudence; though his conversation be replete with the most sordid and selfish maxims, his heart is dilated with the most unbounded love. I have known him profess himself a man-hater, while his cheek was glowing with compassion; and, while his looks were softened into pity, I have heard him use the language of the most unbounded ill-nature. Some affect humanity and tenderness, others boast of having such dispositions from Nature; but he is the only man I ever knew who seemed ashamed of his natural benevolence. He takes as much pains to hide his feelings, as any hypocrite would to conceal his indifference; but on every unguarded moment the mask drops off, and reveals him to the most superficial observer.(译文)尽管我喜欢广交朋友,但我只愿与为数不多的几人成为至交。

国王⾮常欣赏他的善举,便封他为圣者。

有⼀天,圣者过⼋⼗⼤寿,国王前来庆贺,特别带来⼀位画家,想通过画家的笔,将这位圣者慈祥的容貌画下来,作为世⼈的典范。

⽤完晚餐之后,众多的嘉宾前来观赏这幅慈爱的画。

参考译⽂: The secret of being a saint Once upon a time there lived in a country a do-gooder. The king was very appreciative of his deeds and decided to honour him as a saint by a decree. On the saint's eightieth birthday, the king was invited to his birthday celerbration. He brought with him a painter so as to do a picture of the kindly saint as a paragon for his countrymen. When the feast is over all the guests were asked to have a look at the picture. To their great surprise, when the picture was shown, what they saw was not a kind but a ruthless and cruel look. The king was very angry at seeing this and ordered his men to beat the painter. Upon hearing the noise, the saint rushed to the scene to have a look at the picture. After viewing it, the saint knelt down and said, "your majesty, the person in the picture is none other than me." Why?" said the king, dumbfounded. "This has been the very person whom I have never wanted to be." In this world, there are no naturally born saints; only those who can do self-criticism and sel-examination, can become saints. task 2 次⽇,他们的马车修好了,上⼭来接他们。

英译中练习1Scientific and technological advances are enabling us to comprehend the furthest reaches of the cosmos, the most basic constituents of matter, and the miracle of life. At the same time, today, the actions, and inaction, of human beings imperil not only life on the planet, but the very life of the planet. Globalization is making the world smaller, faster and richer. Still, 9/11, avian flu, and Iran remind us that a smaller, faster world is not necessarily a safer world. Our world is bursting with knowledge---but desperately in need of wisdom. Now, when sound bites are getting shorter, when instant messages crowd out essays, and when individual lives grow more frenzied, college graduates capable of deep reflection are what our world needs. For all these reasons I believed and I believe even more strongly today in the unique and irreplaceable mission of universities.英译中练习2There are few words which are used more loosely than the word 'civilization'. What does it mean? It means a society based upon the opinion of civilians. It means that violence, the rule of warriors and despotic chiefs, the conditions of camps and warfare, of riot and tyranny, give place to parliaments where laws are made, and independent courts of justice in which over long periods those laws are maintained. That is civilization and in its soil grow continually freedom, comfort and culture. When civilization reigns in any country, a wider and less harassed life is afforded to the masses of the people, the traditions of the past are cherished, and the inheritance bequeathed to us by former wise or valiant men becomes a rich estate to be enjoyed and used by all.英译中练习3In a calm sea every man is a pilot.But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at all. Take the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled yarn. Bereavements and blessings, one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.英译中练习4Birds and DeathThe bird, however hard the frost may be, flies briskly to his customary roosting-place, and, with beak tucked into hiswing, falls asleep. He has no apprehensions; only the hot blood grows colder and colder, the pulse feebler as he sleeps, and at midnight, or in the early morning, he drops from his perch---death.Yesterday he lived and moved, responsive to a thousand external influences, reflecting earth and sky in his small brilliant brain as in a looking-glass; also he had a various language, the inherited knowledge of his race, the faculty of flight, by means of which he could shoot, meteor-like, across the sky, and pass swiftly from place to place; and with it such perfect control over all his organs, such marvelous certitude in all his motions, as to be able to drop himself plumb down from the tallest tree-top , or out of the void air , on to a slender spray , and scarcely cause its leaves to tremble . Now , on this morning , he lies stiff and motionless ; if you were to take him up and drop him from your hand , he would fall to the ground like a stone or a lump of clay-so easy and swift is the passage from life to death in wild nature! But he was never miserable英译中练习5Hour in the SunJohn H.Bradley"…I was rich,if not in money,in sunny hours and summer days."--Henry David ThoreauWhen Thoreau wrote that line,he was thinking of the Walden.Pond he knew as a boy.Woodchoppers and the Iron Horse had not yet greatly damaged the beauty of its setting.A boy could go to the pond and lie on his back against the seat of a boat,lazily drfiting from shore to shore while the loons dived and the swallows dipped around him.Thoreau loved to recall such sunny hours and summer days"when idleness was the most attractive and productive business."I too was a boy in love with a pond,rich in sunny hours and summer days.Sun and summer are still what the always were,but the boy and the pond changed.The boy,who is now a man,no longer finds much time for idle drifting.The pond has been annexed by a great city.The swamps where herons once hunted are now drained and filled with hourses .The bay where water lilies quietly floated is now a harbor for motor boats.In short,everything that the boy loved no longer exists-- except in the man's memory of it.英译中练习6The old lady had always been proud of the great rose-tree in her garden, and was fond of telling how it had grown from a cutting she had brought years before from Italy, when she was first married. She and her husband had been travelling back in their carriage from Rome (it was before the time of railways )and on a bad piece of road south of Siena they had broken down, and had been forced to pass the night in a little house by the road-side. The accommodation was wretched of course; she had spent a sleepless night, and rising early had stood, wrapped up, at her window, with the cool air blowing on her face, to watch the dawn. She could still, after all these years, remember the blue mountains with the bright moon above them, and how a far-off town on one of the peaks had gradually grown whiter and whiter, till the moon faded, the mountains were touched with the pink of the rising sun, and suddenly the town was lit as by an illumination, one window after another catching and reflecting the sun's beam, till at last the whole little city twinkled and sparkled up in the sky like a nest of stars英译中练习7Some people insist that only today and tomorrow matter.But how much poorer we would be if we really lived by that rule! So much of what we do today is frivolous and futile and soon forgotten.So much of what we hope to do tomorrow never happens.The past is the bank in which we store our most valuable possession: the memories that give meaning and depth to our lives.Those who truly treasure the past will not bemoan the passing of the good old days,because days enshrined in memory are never lost.Death itself is powerless to still a remembered voice or erase a remembered smile.And for one boy who is now a man, there is a pond which neither time nor tide can change,where he can still spend a quiet hour in the sun.英译中练习1参考译文科技进步正在使我们能够探索宇宙的边陲、物质最基本的成分及生命的奇迹。

深山中有一所古庙,几个和尚在那里过着单调的修行生活。

同他们做朋友的,除了有时上山来的少数乡下人外,就是几只猛虎。

虎不惊扰僧人,却替他们守护庙宇。

作为报酬,和尚把一些可吃的东西放在庙门前。

每天傍晚,夕阳染红小半个天空,虎们成群地走到庙门口,吃了东西,跳跃而去。

庙门大开,僧人们安然在庙内做他们的日课,也没有谁出去看虎怎样吃东西,即使偶尔有一二和尚立在门前,虎们亦视为平常的事情,把他们看做熟人,不去惊动,却斯斯文文地吃完走开。

如果看不见僧人,虎就发出几声长啸,随着几阵风飞腾而去。

2.光绪二十六年,八国联军攻占北京。

慈禧太后弃城而走,一直逃到西安。

和谈开始后,她并未马上返回北京。

起初,外国列强的要求里面有一项是让慈禧太后退位,由光绪帝重新执掌朝廷。

不过,在与李鸿章多次会谈后,他们放弃了这一要求。

第二年正式签署和约,随后过了一个月慈禧才终于从西安动身。

她对外国人万分惧怕,正像她对国人无比傲慢一样。

她在河南停留了很长一段时间,到了保定又逗留多日,好不容易才回到北京。

据野史记载,在这漫长的旅途中还发生了一件趣事。

一位地方官员送给慈禧一只猴子,她颇为高兴,竟下旨给那只猴子穿黄马褂。

后来太监报告说,有的官员发出了“人不如猴”的感慨,慈禧这才发现自己的决定有些荒唐,于是又下旨给随行官员每人一件黄马褂。

得到这殊荣之后,大家真不知道该感谢慈禧还是感谢那只猴子。

3.中国对香港的政策是“一国两制”,这个原则不仅对香港经济发展有利,而且和中国本身的利益也是一致的。

我们不想使香港政府在过渡时期无法正常行使其职能,恰恰相反,我们希望它能有效地管理香港的事务,中英联合声明和建造新机场的谅解备忘录就是最好的保证。

至于1997年以后的,全国人民大会已通过了《中华人民共和国香港特别行政区基本法》。

英语专八翻译汉译英冲刺练习:进取的幸福原文:正是因为不停地追求进取,我们才感到生活幸福。

一件事完成后,另一件随之而来,如此连绵不绝,永无止境。

对于往前看的人来说,眼前总有一番新天地。

虽然我们蜗居于这颗小行星上,整日忙于琐事且生命短暂,但我们生来就有不尽的希望,如天上繁星,遥不可及。

只要生命犹在,希望便会不止。

真正的幸福在于怎样开始,而不是如何结束,在于我们的希冀,而并非拥有。

译文:We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series. There is always a new horizon for onward-looking men, and although we dwell on a small planet, immersed in petty business and not enduring beyond a brief period of years, we are so constituted that our hopes are inaccessible, like stars, and the term of hoping is prolonged until the term of life. To be truly happy is a question of how we begin and not of how we end, of what we want and not of what we have.英语专八翻译汉译英练习:渴望原文:渴望是永远的乐趣,一笔如地产般真实稳固的财富,用之不尽,取之不竭。

每年我们都会因为拥有渴望而充满活力。

一个人如有许多希望,精神便会富足。

人生只不过是一场单调乏味且编导拙劣的戏,除非我们对这戏有些兴趣;对于既没有艺术细胞也没有科学细胞的人来说,这个世界只不过是各种颜色的堆积,或者是一条崎岖小路,一不小心就会摔伤小腿。

所以每一次,不管被派到哪里,我不会想别的,就想着怎么把工作做好,做得最好。

也许我这种个性特点和我母亲的教导有关。

母亲是个凡事要求尽善尽美的人,她不能原谅一件事没有做好。

比如刷马桶,我使劲刷了几次还是没有刷干净,对她说实在刷不干净了。

她不说话,自己拎过去,挽起袖子就刷。

不管用到些什么工具,最终的结果总是,我们做不到的,她做到了。

也许这是一种很可怕的教育方法,但事实上,在她的影响下,从小我就懂得一个道理,任何事,只要你努力去做,动脑筋去做,没有做不成的。

正确答案:My mother was a perfectionist in everything she undertook, and would not tolerate a task that was not done to perfection.Take brushing the wooden toilet bucket for example,though I had brushed it several times with great efforts,it was still not very clean.So I said to her that it was really impossible to clean it thoroughly.Without uttering a word,she took the bucket away,rolled up her sleeves and began brushing it herself.In one way or another,the final result was always the same:she managed to do things what we had said were unable to do.This might sound like an overly strict method of educating one’s children,but actually,due to the influence of my mother I came to understand at a very early age the simple truth—nothing is impossible as long as you work hard at it and use your brain.解析:“凡事”即“她从事的每一件事”in everything she undertook。

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。

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESETranslate the following underlined text into Chinese.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 of gasoline 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 isharder 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.英语专业八级考试翻译练习(2)TRANSLATION (60 MIN)SECTION A: CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the following underlined text into English.近读报纸,对国内名片和请柬的议论颇多,于是想起客居巴黎时经常见到的法国人手中的名片和请柬,随笔记下来,似乎不无借鉴之处。

英语专业八级翻译练习题1.英译汉(1)Possession for its own sake or in competition with the rest of the neighborhood would have been Thoreau's idea of the low levels. The active discipline of heightening one's perception of what is enduring in nature would have been his idea of the high. What he saved from the low was time and effort he could spend on the high. Thoreau certainly disapproved of starvation, but he would put into feeding himself only as much effort as would keep him functioning for more important efforts.Effort is the gist of it. There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging difficulties. Short of the impossible, as Yeats put it, the satisfaction we get from a lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties. Robert Frost was thinking in something like the same terms when he spoke of "The pleasure of taking pains". The mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be effortless.We demand difficulty even in our games. We demand it because without difficulty there can be no game. A game is a way of making something hard for the fun of it. The rules of the game are an arbitrary imposition of difficulty. When someone ruins the fun, he always does so by refusing to play by the rules. It is easier to win at chess if you are free, at your pleasure, to change the wholly arbitrary rules, but the fun is in winning within the rules. No difficulty, no fun.梭罗所理解的"低层次",即为了拥有而去拥有,或与所有的邻居明争暗斗而致拥有。

历年八级考试翻译题(汉译英)

汉译英部分【1998年8级测试汉译英】1997年2月24日我们代表团下榻日月潭中信大饭店,送走了最后一批客人,已是次日凌晨3点了。

我躺在床上久久不能入睡,披衣走到窗前,往外看去,只见四周峰峦叠翠,湖面波光粼粼。

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1。

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,但大家的内心都深深铭刻着中华文化优秀传统的印记,都拥有着振兴中华民族的共同理想2。

在世纪之交的伟大时代,我们的祖国正在走向繁荣富强,海峡两岸人民也将加强交流,共同推进祖国统一大业的早日完成3。

世纪之交的宝贵机遇和巨大挑战将青年推到了历史前台4。

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5。

日月潭水波不兴,仿佛与我一同在思索……【概述】这段文字是一篇赴台访问记的节选,文中夹叙夹议,用词讲究,文笔优美。

翻译时有三大难点,一是文中的几个复杂的长句,如第二句长达75字,而且里面包含转折、并列等多种关系。

二是我们习以为常的很多说法如“铭刻着……印记”,“推到历史前台”等要翻译好也不容易。

三是这段文字涉及祖国统一的主题,笔下饱含感情,充满了对祖国统一的期望和对台湾同胞的深厚情意,所以翻译时措辞很关键。

【翻译要点评析】1.第一句的前半部分属于汉语无主句,在翻译成英文时需要增添主语,因为汉语是主题显著的语言,而英语是主语显著的语言。

汉语句子建构在意念主轴(thought-pivot)上,句子强调的是意义,而不是结构。

英语句子建构在形式(或主谓)主轴(form-pivot)上,强调句子结构的完整和严密,绝大多数英语句子需要主语和谓语。

该句可分为两层意思,从句首到“交了新知”属第一层意思,翻译时可补充主语we,译成We visited many places … ,或者以“访问交流”作主语译成The visit enabled us to see many places…。

八级汉英翻译练习(打印部分)
1. 人际关系问题我们不要太浪漫主义。

人是很有趣的,往往在接触一个人时首先看
的都是他或她的优点。

这点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。

开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候,印象很好。

吃头两个主菜时,也是赞不绝口。

愈吃愈趋于冷静,吃完了这顿宴席,缺点就都找出来了。

于是转喜为怒,转赞美为责备挑剔,转首肯为摇头。

这是因为,第一,开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态,而饿了吃糠甜加蜜,饱了吃蜜也不甜。

........
2. (1) 只有在我过于劳累,在我长时间无间断地工作,在我感到内心空虚,需要填补的时候,我才寂寞。

而有时在我巡回演讲后回家时,在我见了许多人,讲了许多话。

且经历多得需要清理时,我才寂寞。

(2) 于是有那么小会儿感觉房子又大又空,我都不知道我的自我藏在哪儿了。

于是
我会给植物浇浇水,或者将它们再挨个儿瞅瞅,好像它们是人一样。

这样我才慢慢地重新找回自我。

(3) 好大一会儿,我看着水浪花从喷泉中涌出,但只有当世界在我身边逐渐消逝时,
那一时刻才会到来,自我又从内心深处的无意识中冒出来,带来我最近的种种经历,让我探究,慢慢领会。

3. (`1 ) 第二天清早,她起早出了门。

她走进批发行商业区,但是每当她走到一个商
号,打算进去找工作时,她的勇气就消失了。

她心里骂自己是胆小鬼,所以她继续往前走,走了又走,最后终于走进了一家商号。

结果还是老样子。

她出来时感到命运在和她作对,因此一切努力都是徒劳的。

(2) 她不知不觉中来到一个大商场,门口有成群的顾客。

这些立刻使她改变了想法。

她原先就是打算到这里来买新衣服的。

现在为了解愁,她决定进去瞧瞧。

她很想看看那些外套。

有时,一个人尽管想买东西,可是又因心里拿不定主意,所以在心里不断掂量权衡。

世界上再没有比这种中间状态更令人愉悦了。

4. 深圳大学学术交流中心是深圳大学唯一的一所涉外宾馆。

中心建筑风格独特,安静
而且安全。

拥有各种普通、标准、豪华客房140余间,可同时接纳350多名客人入住。

拥有车队、商务中心及酒楼等配套服务设施,拥有多种类型的会议室。

“宾客至上,争创一流”是我们的服务宗旨,全体员工将以彬彬有礼和热情周到的服务恭候阁下的光临。

• 2. 早听说香山红叶是北京最浓最浓的秋色,能去看看,自然乐意。

我去的那日,天也作美,明净高爽,好得不能再好了;人也凑巧,居然找着一位老向导。
