英语四级翻译预测(一)尽管音乐对每个人来说，都再熟悉不过了，但是几乎每个人对这门艺术都有自己的观点看法。

什么音乐算是好的音乐，这是见仁见智的。

各个音乐风格都有自己的经典音乐作品流行的并不完全等于经典的。

一个好的音乐作品，是创作者(creator)和演奏者(performer) 双方共同努力的结果，二者相辅相成，缺一不可。

While music is familiar to virtually everyone it is anart, about which everyone has an opinion. Whatdefines "great" music is, very much, a personalissue. There is "great" music in every style but whatis popular does not always define the quality.Music is a joint effort between the creator and theperformer and one cannot exist without the other.英语四级翻译预测(二)太极拳(Taijiquan)是一种中国武术内家拳(theinternalstyles of Chinese martial art)。

索尼这样的外国公司也开始明白，从前海外公司常把随便什么地方设计的产品拿到中国来卖，而现在，中国消费者变得更加挑剔，他们不再那样容易满足了。

Chinese companies want to create world brands and the foreign companies want to increase the selling in China which all change the Chinese design industry.The Chinese manufacturers realize that they have to design better products if they want to stand out in the domestic markets as well as distinguish themselves in the foreign markets.Previously,the overseas caompanies always took the products which were designed in somewhere to Chinese market,but now the foreign companies such as Sony begins to realize that the Chinese consumers become more and more fastidious and no longer easy to be satisfied.英语四级翻译预测(四)对于一名女子来说，传统美是她的唯一标志。

I never thought that I would like to livein a big city, but I was wrong. After two years of living in one, I can't imagineever living in a small town again.I love the excitement of big cities.
