Part IV Chinese & Foreign Culture Introduction Task One

Translate the following passage into English.

Time was slower in the past

Time was slower in the past

Carriage, horse, mail needs time a little bit

Even one greeting needs days to be passed

The moonlight was slower in the past

With leisure, being indolent

The whole dusk needs a cup of tea to interpret

With little stars twinkling, moments in your dreams move fast The pace was slower in the past

From one village to another near it

One needs a whole day on foot

The days were slower but warmer in the past

Through a touch of light mist

Year after year, time is out.

Task Two

Translate the following passage into Chinese.

参考答案之一：当你年老时

傅浩译

当你年老，鬓斑，睡意昏沉，

在炉旁打盹时，取下这本书，

慢慢诵读，梦忆从前你双眸，

神色柔和，眼波中倒影深深；

多少人爱你风韵妩媚的时光，

爱你的美丽出自假意或真情，

但唯有一人爱你灵魂的至诚，

爱你渐衰的脸上愁苦的风霜；

弯下身子，在炽红的壁炉边，

忧伤地低诉，爱神如何逃走，

在头顶上的群山巅漫步闲游，

把他的面孔隐没在繁星中间。

参考答案之二：当你老了

冰心译

当你老了，头发花白，睡意沉沉，

倦坐在炉边，取下这本书来，
