篇章翻译英译汉
英译汉San Francisco“San Francisco， open your Golden Gate，” sang the girl in the theatre. She never1 finished her song. That date was 18th April，1906. The earth shook and the roof suddenly divided，buildings crashed2 to the ground and people rushed out into the streets. The dreadful earthquake destroyed the city that had grown up when men discovered gold in the deserts of California.3 But today the streets of San Francisco stretch over more than forty steep hills，rising like huge cliffs above the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean.The best way to see this splendid city，where Spanish people were the first to make their homes，is to take one of the old cable cars which run along the nine main avenues. Fares are cheap； they have not risen，I‟m told，for almost a hundred years.4You leave5 the palm trees in Union Square --- the heart of San Francisco --- and from the shop signs and the faces around you，you will notice that in the city live people from many nations --- Austrians，Italians，Chinese and others6 --- giving each part a special character. More Chinese live in China Town than in any other part of the world outside China.7 Here，with Chinese restaurants， Chinese post-boxes， and even odd telephone-boxes that look like pagodas，it is easy8 to feel you are in China itself.Fisherman‟s Wharf， a place all foreigners want to see，is at the end of the ride. You get out， pause perhaps to help the other travelers to swing the cable car on its turntable （a city custom），and then set out to find a table in one of9 the gay little restaurants beside the harbor. As you enjoy the fresh Pacific seafood you can admire the bright red paint of the Golden Gate Bridge in the harbor and watch the traffic crossing beneath the tall towers on its way to the pretty village of Tiberon .漫步旧金山“旧金山，敞开你的金门吧！”剧院里女歌手唱道，可惜她再也没能唱完1。

9) The Kaatskill mountains(卡兹吉尔丛山) are a dismembered(断开的)branch of the great Appalachian family(阿帕拉钦山脉), and are seen away to the west of the river, swelling up to a noble height. Every change of season, every change of weather, indeed, every hour of the day, produces some change in the magical hues and shapes of these mountains, and they are regarded by all the good wives, far and near, as perfect barometers. At the foot of these fairy mountains, the voyager may have descried(看见) the light smoke curling up from a village, whose shingle-roofs gleam among the trees. It is a little village of great antiquity, having been founded by some of the Dutch colonists. (请用文言文翻译此段)河西可望卡兹吉尔丛山，阿帕拉钦山之遗支，高耸至尊。

专业英语八级新闻翻译练习
瑞士男子驾太阳能的士环游世界French Louis Palmer sits inside his solar taxi at the venue of the UN Climate Change Conference 2007 in Nusa Dua, on Bali island, 07 December 2007. Swiss national Louis Palmer fulfilled a childhood dream when he set off from his home country on July 3, travelling over desert, city and sea in 17 countries by a “solar taxi” to reach UN Clima te Change Conference in Bali, Indonesia. "In 1986, I was a 14-year-old boy, I was dre aming that when I will be an adult, I want to drive around the world," he told reporte rs. "Then it came to my mind, how can I travel around the world and enjoy the beauty of this world with a car that is polluting the world? Then I thought the perfect car wo uld be a solar car." His car, which has become a major attraction at the gates of the s ummit of some 188 nations, was built in three years with scientific help from four univ ersities and 15 Swiss companies. The car pulls a trailer with six squares metres of sola r panels which soak up the sun. The electricity is fed into the battery which powers the car, and can run for up to 100 kilometres a day. "It's the first time in history that a car is driving around the world without a single drop of petrol," boasted Palmer, a tea cher by training. His epic solar journey is not his first adventure -- he traversed Africa on a bicycle and North America in a light aircraft. So far, Palmer has gone by land thro ugh Europe and the Middle East, then by sea to India and on to Indonesia. After traver sing much of Asia, Australia, North America and Africa, he will return to Switzerland to try and drum up support for the commercial possibilities of solar cars. For the moment, he has his hands full, with more curious customers waitingto take a ride in his unique automobile which, he said, "works like a Swiss clock."瑞士男子路易斯•帕尔莫终于圆了他儿时的一个梦。
篇章翻译---英译汉
篇章翻译---英译汉We sometimes fall in with person who have seen much of the world, and of the man who, in their day, have played a conspicuous part in it, but who generalized nothing,and have no observation, in the true sense of the world. They abound in information in detail ,curious and entertaining, about men and things, and, having lived under the influence of no very clear or settled principles, religious or political, they speak of every one and everything, only as so many phenomena, which are complete in themselves, and lead to nothing, not discussing any truth, or instructing the hearer, but simple talking. No one would say that these persons, well informed as they are, had attained to any great culture or intellect or to philosophy.译文：我们有时邂逅一些熟悉世故的人，和一些曾经见过许多在其全盛时代，叱咤风云，世界安危所系的有名人物的人，但是他们却不能归纳出一点什么来，也毫无真正的观察力。
2007年_专八翻译汉译英和英译汉参考答案
• 汉英翻译:美生灵 （张炜 《读者》2006年 13期
• At dusk, the river bend is full of the reflection of rosy clouds. The colors of the river are so mixed with those of the sky in the horizon that it is virtually impossible to distinguish the drifting clouds from the flowing water.It was near this splendid picture that a flock of sheep were lowering their heads and grazing on the river bend.
我们正处于一个知识爆炸的世界之中，不过，更迫切需 要智慧。现在，新闻采访报道变得愈来愈短，即时信息取代 了传统的杂记文，个人生活变得愈加痴狂，值此之际，具有 思辨能力的大学生正是时代所需。
基于这些原因，对于高等院校独一无二、不可取代的使 命，我一直坚信--今天，这种信心更为强烈。
Hardly any of them spared time to raise their heads and take a glance at the beautiful dusk. They were, perhaps, making use of every minute to enjoy their last chews before being driven home. This was a picture on the Yellow River Bank, in which the shepherd was out of sight, and might be resting in an unknown place. Only these beautiful creatures leisurely enjoyed themselves in the dusk. The ample fresh water and exuberant plants had nurtured the sheep, making them grow as round as chubby babies. When approaching near, you would find their lovely faces with white teeth and their rich yet innocent facial expression.
英汉翻译第1章(我国历史上的翻译活动)
第一节 从周代到东汉桓帝的翻译活动
一、 《礼记·王制》载有周代所设翻译东、西、南、 北各地区少数民族语言的官员的职称： 五方之民，言语不通，嗜欲不同。达其志， 通其欲，东方曰寄，南方曰象，西方曰狄， 北方曰译。 故后世称翻译人员为“ ”。
《 》中谈到周代规定每七年要将各诸侯国的 翻译人员集中到周天子所在地加以训练。这 也是我国典籍中关于培训翻译人员的最早记 载。 在《 》古书中，也有周王朝当时的翻译官 的专门职称的记载。
这一时期代表人物有： 郑振锋，郁达夫，巴金，林语堂，傅雷，朱 光潜等
林语堂(1895．10．3-1976．3．26)福 林语堂
建龙溪人。原名和乐，后改玉堂，又改语堂。
《论翻译》1933年 “第一是忠实标准，第 二是通顺标准，第三是 美的标准” “翻译是一种艺术” 译文应有五美：
鲁迅（１８８１—１９３６） （１８８１ １９３６ １９３６） 原名周树人，字豫才，浙江绍兴人
二、课程要求 要求学生至少熟读教材课本，同时通读同类 教材一本，和外国名著中英版。且对三本书 就某一点或某一方面至少写读后感三篇，每 篇字数不少于一千。读后感只能手写。其他 考试要求照旧。 教材：庄传译，英汉翻译简明教程，外语教 学与研究出版社

英译汉篇章练习(一)(新闻)
英译汉篇章练习（一）（新闻）1) “Your friend has ordered a song for you, please dial 13XXXX for it.” Have you ever received a similar mobile phone text messages and thought it was a pleasant surprise? Beware, as it may be a costly trick. Starting this month, a nationwide campaign has been launched to fight against this type of scam, said Wu Heping, spokesman of the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) at a press conference on Tuesday.2) What the two Chinese astronauts eat and how they sleep during their 119-hour, zero-gravity space odyssey has aroused much attention. Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng, who undertook China’s second manned space mission yesterday morning, helped themselves to pineapple-filled mooncakes for breakfast, Reuters reported. The traditional heavy pastries were to the liking of Fei Junlong, who was said to have a sweet tooth, while his partner, Nie Haisheng, apparently prefers spicier fare.3) China dropped for the second straight year to No. 49 from No. 44 in 2003, as the survey said it continues “to suffer from institutional weaknesses which, unless addressed, are likely to slow down their ascension to the top tier of the most competitive economies in the world.” India rose three places to come in just behind at No. 50.4) Hundreds of people were being treated in makeshift hospitals and thousands were sleeping in tents yesterday in East China’s Jiangxi Province after Saturday’searthquake which killed at least 15. The Ministry of Civil Affairs said yesterday that seven teams have been dispatched to the worst-hit areas with food, water and tents for the thousands of the affected while supplies were also being rushed from neighbouring Anhui and Hubei provinces which also felt tremors.5) Pedestrians walk amid heavy snowfalls in Dalian, a coastal city in northeast China’s Liaoning Province December 4, 2005. The snowfalls began on Saturday and continued more than 40 hours to Sunday. Weather reports say this is the heaviest snow the city has ever witnessed since 1951. Primary middle schools were closed on Monday due to the unprecedented snow.6) Before you took a shower this morning, you might have worried whether you had enough hot water. Folks in Rexburg, Idaho are probably grateful that’s all they have to worry about! That’s because an eight-foot-long pet python escaped a neighbor’s apartment two weeks ago and took refuge in the ceiling above their shower! A plumber found the reptile this week, hungry but alive. The snake, of course, was evicted.7) Some memorize poetry; others go for game rules or movie lines. This kid memorized pi. Or at least 8,784 digits of it! The number represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference, to its diameter. And it’s believed to be infinite. But this giftedmath student from Virginia, hopes it won’t take him forever to break the world record for memorizing pi’s digits. That’s tens of thousands of decimal places!8) Do this in class, and you could get kicked out. But at a competition in Venezuela, making paper airplanes is an idea they’ll let fly! Air-time, distance, and elegance are all elements here. And the winners get to fly --- on real airplanes, of course --- to Austria. Where the world paper airplane finals take place between 47 countries. Just use that as an excuse, next time you’re caught sailing a plane through the hallway!9) An amazing rescue story out of Texas. A blind man and his elderly neighbor kept baby monitors in each of their homes, to watch out for one another’s safety. When a fire broke out at the elderly woman’s house on Tuesday, Jim Sherman heard her cries for help over the monitor. So Sherman, despite being blind, made his way over to his neighbor’s house and rescued her and three kittens that had been born that night. It’s an inspiration as well as a great story: don’t let anyone tell you, you can’t accomplish great things.10) It’s huge, it’s famous, it floats through the air... And it needs a name. The Goodyear Tire Company is holding a contest to see who can “name that blimp”! Well, maybe not that one, but a brand new one like it. Previous names are “Spirit of Goodyear” and “Spirit of America.” For its latest creation, Goodyear wants something creative. Does the winner get to keep it? No. But his or her name will be carried through the air on a giant sign.。
新闻英汉互译理论与技巧
新闻英汉互译理论与技巧：一、英文“消息”的翻译：汉译英：1.一般有主题和副主题，…英语新闻一般只有主题，副题转换为新闻导语，而将导语中与主体重复的信息省略2.开头/电头转换3.标题的主题勿须直译，抓住其精神实质后意译即可4.增译：Northwest China’s 经常用到5.注意新闻套语的翻译：据悉to be expected to…英译汉：1.Placido Domingo Say He Has 5 Years of Opera deft标题之原则：为了简洁和突出核心，省去。
多戈还要唱5年2.在消息的英汉互译时，要注意转换正文开头的结构The apr 9, 10:55 PMETMEXICO CITY(Reuters) [路透社墨西哥城四月九日电]3.英文中的“星期几”一般转化为日期4.直接引语的翻译以口语化的语言为宜5.由于英汉语言固有的差异，在原文中很清楚明了的信息直译为中文就不一定清晰，需要转换或增词September 9.11 恐怖袭击；Italy’s financial capital 米兰（具体指明）；The twin towers attack—9.11 恐怖袭击6.力求简洁eg: “when the plane hit”在事发当场7.虚实化意，隐显得当Eg. “when the plane hit”简译为“大楼”隐“sure, the tragedy struck. But it could have been worse”增译为：“可以肯定，这只不过是一起航空事故。
但若是恐怖袭击情况将更加难以想象”显8.政治倾向，比如译者观点不同于原文，加上“所谓的”9.英语长句→汉语短句10.转换句子重心 eg.原英文长的短语→译成汉语时：扩展为句子二、英语新闻翻译时注意：1.翻译时注意：英语：形合汉语：意合在英汉翻译中应尽力再现原文在语义结构上的连贯性除非实际情况需要，一般宜将原文的连接词略(意思对即可，不必拘谨于原英文篇章的结构)2.需要注意的是英语中的关系代词和关系副词如what, that, which, who, when, where,how, however, whenever, wherever等常常起连接作用，汉语中没有与之对应的此类，因此翻译时常用意合的形式转换。

They take organs from one body and integrate them into another granting the lucky recipient a longer better life.Sadly every year thousands of other people are less fortunate dying while they wait for suitable organs to be found. The terrible constraint on organ transplantation is that every life extended depends on the death of someone young enough and healthy enough to have organs worth transplanting. Such donors are few. The waiting lists are long and getting longer. 2. Freedom from this constraint is the dream of every transplant surgeon. So far attempts to make artificial organs have been disappointing: nature is hard to mimic. Hence the renewed interest in trying to use organs from animals. 3. Doctors in India have just announced that they have successfully transplanted a heart from a pig into a person. Pressure to increase the number of such xenotransplants异种器官移植seems to be growing. In Europe and America herds of pigs are being specially bred and genetically engineered for organ donation. During 1996 at least two big 5 reports on the subject -- one in Europe and one in America -- were published. They agreed that xenotransplants were permissible on ethical groundsand cautiously recommended that they be allowed. Americas Food and Drug Administration has already published draft guidelines for xenotransplantation. 4. The ethics of xenotransplantation are relatively unworrying. People already kill pigs both for food and for sport killing them to save a human life seems if anything easier to justify. However the science of xenotransplantation is much less straightforward. 5. Ill never forget the feeling I got one winter night as I walked the deserted streets after many grueling hours at the hospital. I suddenly realized that I no longer felt tense or tired. All the worries about my patients illnesses as well as my own personal cares seemed to evaporate as quickly as the smoky vapor of my breath in the frosty night. As I incorporated walking into my schedule not only were my spirits lifted but my weight and blood pressure were gradually reduced. I began reviewing the medical literature on walking. From this research and my clinical observations as a family physician I found that it is possible to walk your way to better health a trimmer body and a longer life -- no matter what your age. 6 翻译练习一英译汉参考答案一、将下列句子译成汉语 1. 与其说那是一幅画不如说那是一首诗。

Literary views on translation
Translators who hold this view believe that translation is an artistic reception or a recreated art.
语言是塑造文学形象的工具，因而文学的形象性特征必然要在语言上表现出来。文学语言的特征，诸如形象、生动、鲜明、含蓄、凝练、准确、风趣、幽默、辛辣、滑稽、悦耳、民族特点、地方色彩，还有行业习语、民间的俚语、谚语等等，都是作家根据塑造形象的需要，从现实生活中提炼创造出来的。文学作品的艺术形式与思想内容是辩证统一的，翻译要保存原作风格特点，因此要求译文生动形象、形神毕肖、雅俗等同、词情并茂。 （方梦之，2004：292）
琵琶琴瑟，八大王王王在上。 魑魅魍魉，四小鬼鬼鬼犯边。 It is difficult and even impossible to translate such cultural items. Translation is the most complicated human activity.
美国著名语言学家雅各布森（Roman Jakobson,1896－1982）从符号学的观点出发，把翻译分为三类：语内翻译、语际翻译和符际翻译。
1、语内翻译（intralingual translation） 语内翻译是同一语言内部的翻译。方言与民族共同语、方言与方言、古代语与现代语之间的转换就是语内翻译。英语学习中解释疑难句子常常用到的paraphrase其实也是一种语内翻译。 例1．余闻而愈悲。孔子曰：“苛政猛于虎也。”吾尝疑乎是，今以蒋氏观之，犹信。 （《捕蛇者说》柳宗元） 我听了（这些话）更加感到悲伤。孔子说：“苛酷的统治比猛虎还要凶啊！”我曾经怀疑这句话，现在从姓蒋的遭遇看来，这是可信的。 例2．Radiating from the earth, heat causes air currents to rise. = Heat causes air currents to rise when it is radiating from the earth. 热量由地球辐射出来，使得气流上升。
