2013年12月汉译英短文翻译(二)
1. A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.通常看一个读些什么书就可知道他的为人，就像看他同什么人交往就可知道他的为人一样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴。
无论是书友还是朋友，我们都应该以最好的为伴。
But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time—and if you become as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder or more gentle, you won’t have suffered during the process.但如果你放下了一本你不喜欢看的书而不断地去找寻另外一本对你有意义的书，因为这样一本书让你得到消遣放松，你确定很享受——因为阅读，你变得更好，更聪慧，更和善或者说更文雅，如果没有阅读的过程你什么也享用不了。
He felt that books and the knowledge in them were part of a world that was against him, a world to which he did not belong and which he did not want to enter, the world of which the hateful teachers were representatives and symbols.他认为这本书和书中的知识只是违背他自身世界的另一个世界，一个他不存在也不想介入的世界，一个可恨的老师们代表着和标榜着的世界。

张春柏 汉译英 附录二 短文翻译练习
附录二：短文翻译练习英译汉：1. The History of April Fools’ DayHow do you think April Fools’ Day originated?Was there a historic epidemic of spring fever-tomfoolery in a tiny Finnish town in the early 1800s? Did a New Yorker in 1910 find a cockroach in his coffee cup and decide to recreate the experience for his officemate, thereby sparking a famous April 1st lawsuit?In a convincing testimonial to the saying that truth is stranger than fiction, we’ll tell you the story, or at least present the most viable theory of how April Fools’ Day came to be.Once upon a time, back in 16th-century France, before computers, people celebrated New Year’s Day on March25, the advent of spring. It was a festive time. They partied steadily until April 1. In1564, when the calendar reformed and became Gregorian（格里高利历，即阳历）, King Charles IX proclaimed, perhaps pompously, that New Year’s Day should be celebrated on January 1 instead of in the spring. Diehard conservatives resisted the change (or perhaps didn’t hear about it due to the absence of e-mail) and continued to celebrate New Year’s from March 25 to April 1. During this period of spring festivity, the more flexible French mocked the rigid revelers by sending them foolish gifts and invitations to non-existent parties. The victim of an April Fools’ Day prank was called a “poisson d’avril2”, or an “April fish”, because at that time of year, the sun was leaving the zodiacal sign of Pisces（双鱼座）.April Fools’ Day hit its stride in England in the 18th century, and was brought to colonial America by the English, Scottish, and French.......We may never learn the true origin of April Fools Day. However, the deeper question facing us today is, “What’s the best gag I can pull off?”42. The SphinxLaius, king of Thebes, was warned by an oracle that there was danger to his throne and life if his new-born son should be suffered to grow up. He therefore committed the child to the care of a herdsman with orders to destroy him; but the herdsman, moved with pity, yet not daring entirely to disobey, tied up the child by the feet and left him hanging to the branch of a tree. In this condition the infant was found by a peasant, who carried him to his master and mistress, by whom he was adopted and called Oedipus, or Swollen-foot.Many years afterwards Laius being on his way to Delphi, accompanied only by one attendant, met in a narrow road a young man also driving in a chariot. On his refusal to leave the may at their command the attendant killed one of his horses, and the stranger, filled with rage, slew both Laius and his attendant. The young man was Oedipus who thus unknowingly became the slayer of his own father.Shortly after this event the city of Thebes was afflicted with a monster which infested the highroad. It was called the Sphinx. It had the body of a lion and the upper part of a woman. It lay crouched on the top of a rock, and arrested all travelers who came that way, proposing to them a riddle, with the condition that those who could solve it should pass safe, but those who failed should be killed, Not one had yet succeeded in solving it, and all had been slain. Oedipus was not daunted by these alarming accounts, but boldly advanced to the trial. The Sphinx asked him, “What animal is that which in the morning goes on four feet, at noon on two, and in the evening upon three?” Oedipus replied, “Man, who in childhood creeps on hands and knees, in manhood walks erect, and in old age with the aid of a staff.” The Sphinx was so mortified at the solving of her riddle that she cast herself down from the rock and perished.The gratitude of the people for their deliverance was so great that they made Oedipus their king, giving him in marriage their queen Jocasta. Oedipus, ignorant of his parentage, had already become the slayer of his father; in marrying the queen he became the husband of his mother. These horrors remained undiscovered, till at length Thebes was afflicted with famine and pestilence, and the oracle being consulted, the double crime of Oedipus came to light. Jocasta put an end to her own life, and Oedipus, seized with madness, tore out his eyes and wandered away from Thebes, dreaded and abandoned by all except his daughters, who faithfully adhered to him, till after a tedious period of miserable wandering he found the termination of his wretched life.3. My FatherMy father lived in a small wooden house in western Canada, where he carved himself out a fruit orchard from the hillside and the forest. He had chosen it with one of the most beautiful view in the world, an open valley and a river winding, with mountains beyond, and the Kootenay lake just visible in the north and built himself a wide window, to look out on three sides. This window, and six Chippendale chairs which he had rescued in a farmer’s sale, and a few of his sketches on the walls, were all the luxury of the place. I spent two winters with him, and once brought him a pot of primulas while the snow still lay heavy all around; but he soon took occasion to say casually that he was not fond of forced plants: they took away something for him of the first rapture of the spring. His loves were very deep and gentle; they seemed not to be centered in islands of possession, like most human loves, but to be diffused among people and animals and plants, and even the shapes of things he saw; for he was a most sensitive artist. He lived among flowers and was first in his valley to send for bulbs from Holland and to fill his orchard with daffodils under the flowering trees. He was a good rider and a great walker and fond of the woodsmen and the hunters, and those who spend half the year away from their fellow men visiting traps in the mountain forests.Four years before his death, when he was seventy-two, a stroke took away from him the open-air life he loved; and though by the strength of his will he managed, step by step with the passing months, to walk a mile or so with a stick to lean on, most of his time came to be spent in the windows that looked out on his view. Here, he told me, the changing clouds and the light of the river would fill his mind withpleasantness for hours at a time and lead his thoughts into endless variation: and I believe this to be true, and that he was happy, for not only did he never complain, but his whole atmosphere was one of serenity and peaceful interest in all things as they came. And later, when I have thought of happiness and what it may be, I have always seen his gentle old head in the window, with the hillside full of tame pheasants and pigeons, and the valley and the mountains beyond, and have felt that the secret must have something in it of those older worlds which were as real to him as ours.4. Cultural Conflict“International communication” is communication between members of different cultures. This definition is simple. But the process is complex. Intercultural communication involves differing perceptions, attitudes, and interpretations. We know that even two people from the same culture can have communication problems. People can intentionally hurt each other by something they say or do. Isn’t it logical, then, that communication problems can be compounded among people who do not have the benefit of shared experiences (i.e. language and culture)?Cultures do not communicate; individuals do. Everyone has a unique style of communication. But cultures determine a general style for their members. The relationship of the individual to his culture is analogous to an actor and his director. The actor puts his own personality into his acting but is nevertheless influenced by the director. We are not always aware of the subtle influences of our culture. Likewise, we may not perceive that others are influenced by their cultures as well.Problems and misinterpretations do not result every time members from two cultures communicate. However, when cultural conflicts do arise, they may be perceived as personal rather than cultural. In the following example it is a cultural misunderstanding that creates negative feelings and confusion:A young woman from one culture is looking out of the window and sees a male acquaintance from another culture. He signals to her by puckering his lips. She quickly looks away from the window. Later she ignores him. He is confused and she is angry.The misunderstanding was due to the woman’s failure to understand the man’s nonverbal signal. In her culture, his gesture conveys a sexual advance. According to his culture, he was only saying (nonverbally), “Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking for you.” The woman’s misinterpretation resulted in her angry reaction and his confusion. If the two had known more about each other’s nonverbal cues, they could have avoided the cultural conflict.Some misunderstandings are insignificant and can be easily ignored or remedied. Other conflicts are more serious in that they can cause misunderstandings and create persistent negative attitudes toward foreigners.Difficulties in intercultural communication arise when there is little or no awareness of divergent cultural values and beliefs. In cross-cultural interaction, speakers sometimes assume that what they believe is right, because they have grown up thinking their way is the best. This ethnocentric assumption can result in negative judgments about other cultures. Another manifestation of ethnocentric attitudes is that people become critical of individuals from different cultures.Sometimes negative reactions do not result from actual interaction but rather from the fixed, preconceived beliefs we have about other people. These over-generalized beliefs or “stereotypes” frequently shape people’s perceptions of each other.Stereotypes originate and develop from numerous sources such as jokes, textbooks, movies, and television. Movies about cowboys and Indians portray cowboys as “civilized” and Indians as wild and “primitive.” A child who knows about the American Indian only through watching these movies will have a distorted and false image of this group of people. Stereotypes perpetuate inaccuracies about religious, racial, and cultural groups.Stereotyped beliefs prevent us from seeing people as individuals with unique characteristics. Negative stereotypes lead to prejudice, suspicion, intolerance, or hatred of other cultural groups.Cultural conflicts occur as a result of misinterpretations, ethnocentrism, stereotypes, and prejudice. Preventing these conflicts is possible with increased awareness of our own attitudes as well as sensitivity to cross cultural differences. Developing intercultural sensitivity does not mean that we need to lose our cultural identities—but rather that we recognize cultural influences within ourselves and within others.5. The Pleasures of ReadingAll the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books—but we must know how to avail ourselves of the most unfortunate people are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.If I am interested in people, in meeting them and finding out about them, some of the most remarkable people I’ve met existed only in a writer’s imagination, then on the pages of his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I’ve found in books new friends, new societies, new words.If I am interested in people, others are interested not so much in who as in how. Who in the books includes everybody from science-fiction superman two hundred centuries in the future all the way back to the first figures in history; How covers everything from the ingenious explanations of Sherlock Holmes to the discoveries of science and ways of teaching manners to children.Reading is a pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work...your own imagination works along with the author’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something; they are connected with each other and with other cities, The same ideas, or related ones, turnup in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and, in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it; you find out about yourself, too.Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you, you “ought” to read, you probably won’t have fun. If you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time to read, you probably won’t have fun. If you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time—and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t have suffered during the process.6. COMPANIONSHIP OF BOOKS---Samuel SmilesA man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.Men often discover their affinity to each other by the love they have each for a book—just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both have for a third. There is an old proverb, “Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:“Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.“Books,” said Hazlitt, “wind into the heart; the poet’s verse slides in the current of our blood. We read them when young, we remember them when old. We feel that it has happened to ourselves. They are to be had very cheap and good. We breathe but the air of books.”A good book is often the best um of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man’s life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters. “They are never alone,” said Sir Philip Sidney, “that are accompanied by noble thoughts.”The good and true thought may in times of temptation be as an angel of mercy purifying andguarding the soul. It also enshrines the germs of action, for good words almost always inspire to good works.Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author’s minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time has been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.The great and good do not die even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of old. The imperial intellects of the world are as much alive now as they were ages ago.7.Significance of Wildlife ProtectionWith rapid extinction of many wild species, more and more people come to realize the great significance of wildlife protection.We have to understand the problem in a new light that we protect ourselves through protecting wildlife. On the one hand, any species of widlife, as a critical joint of the ecological chain, helps to establish the ecological balance. If one species becomes extinct, it will disappear forever. What is more, it will inevitably result in the extinction of a chain of wildlife and the disruption of the ecological balance. Unpredictable disasters may occur. On the other hand, with the development of modern science and technology, man is just beginning to learn about wildlife. For example, if wild rubber trees had been extinct two centuries ago, there would be no auto industry today. Moreover, wildlife preserves unknown genetic codes, which may turn out to be of vital importance and free human beings from fatal diseases and natural disasters in the future.It is imperative for us to protect wildlife right now before it is too late, because man has already polluted the environment seriously and threatened the existence of many wild species. Let’ take actions to protect wildlife. Learning to live in harmony with all wildlife is part of modem civilization.8．COLNINGCLONING is suddenly in the news, thanks to revolutionary techniques developed by genetic engineers and other new breeds of biologists. The newspapers are full of stories describing how scientists can produce a clone, or an identical copy, of an organism from just a single cell. Biologistsnow have the ability to clone some plants and small animals. Can people be far behind?All of this seems frightening to many, not quite right to some, just plain startling to others. Perhaps the basic question is: how can cloning experiments contribute to future human welfare?WHAT IS A CLONE?A clone is an organism or a group of organisms created from a single parent. The process of cloning is really a from of asexual reproduction. You know that sexual reproduction involves the union of sex cells: the sperm from the male parent and the egg from the female parent. The nucleus of each sex cell-called a pronucleus-contains only one set of chromosomes with their genes and not the two sets that are found in the muclei of all other cells, called body cells, and which give each species its characteristic chromosome number. The union of sperm and egg in fertilization produces two full sets of chromosomes. It is the first step in the creation of a new and unique individual with traits and characteristics inherited from both parents.Cloning is asexual. There is only one parent. And the offspring has the hereditary traits of that single parent.The word “clone”comes from the ancient Greek root, klon, meaning a twig or slip. Taking a twig or cutting from a plant and growing it into another plant is actually cloning the plant.Today, however, the word “cloning”is used in a slightly different way. It has come to mean the production of an organism from just a single cell take from the body of a plant or animal. This single cell, being a body cell and not a sex cell, contains two sets of chromosomes—one set from its mother and one set from its father. It thus has all the genetic information necessary to produce a complete individual if it is stimulated to grow.9.Electronic Mail (E-mail)During the past few years, scientists the world over have suddenly found themselves productively engaged in a task they once spent their living avoiding writing, but particularly letter writing. Lured by electronic mail’s seductive blend of speed, convenience, skillfully, even cheerfully tapping out a great deal of correspondence.Electronic networks, woven into the fabric of scientific communication these days, are the route to colleagues in distant countries, shared data, bulletin boards and electronic journals. Anyone with a personal computers, a modem and the software to link computers over telephone lines can sign on. An estimated five million scientists have done so, with more joining every day, most of them communicating through a bundle of interconnected domestic and foreign routes known collectively as the internet, or net.E-mail is staring to edge out the fax, the telephone, overnight mail and, of course land mail. It shrinks time and distance between scientific collaborators, in part because it is conveniently asynchronous (writes can type while their colleagues across time zones sleep; their message will be waiting). If it is not yet speed discoveries, it is certainly accelerating disclosures.10.Other WorldsFrom what we know of our solar system, it appears unlikely that we wil find intelligent life as we know it on any of the other planets. Some microorganisms and plants might exist, but behings shaped like man or the fabled Martian monsters are not likely. Human life, according to scientists, developed on this planet because of the unique combination of many factors—the earth’s distance from the sun, the composition of our atmosphere, the structure of the earth’s surface the presence of certain organisms on the face of the plant. Yet many ask, are we the only ones in the universe?Although astronomers have never actually seen a planet outside of our solar system, they now recongnzie that other solar systems exist. With powerful radio telescopes, they have located these distant system. Astronomer Harlow Shapley has estimated that there may be life in the planetary system of one out of a million stars.Let’s take this million-to-one chance that astronomer Shapley believes and see what the chances really are! Our best scientific information tells us that there are over 100 billion stars in our own galaxy, and that there are about 100 million galaxies in the universe. They means that there are some 10 quintillion stars in the universe.Suppose that only one out of a million of these stars is a sun like our own sun. That would mean that there are some 10 trillion possible other suns in the universe. Again, let us use Shpley’s one-out-a-million chance to find how many of these suns could possibly have a planet like earth—a planet 93 million miles away, a planet with oxygen in the air for breathing , a planet on which man could live as he does on earth. There would be about 10 million other planets in the universe that could physically resemble the earth.Finally, suppose we use the one-in-a-million chance to find out how many of these have human life just as we have on earth. We would then find that there are 10 other “earths” with human life somewhere in this vast universe.Naturally, it would be quite a task to find these 10 out of the millions upon of stars and planets in the universe. But if we did, what would man be like? Would he still be in the cave-man stage? Or would he have developed a society far beyond ours? What would happen if we did meet a man from outer space?It is these unknowns and man’s unending thirst for knowledge that take us into space in search of other possible worlds like ours.11. Sunday Before the War--John CiardiOn Sunday, in a remote valley in the West of England, where the people are few and scattered and placid, there was no more sign among them than among the quiet hills of the anxiety that holds the world. They had no news and seemed to want none. The postmaster had been ordered to stay all day in his little post-office, and that was something unusual that interested them, but only because it affectedthe postmaster.It rained in the morning, but the afternoon was clear and glorious and shining, with all the distances revealed far into the heart of Wales and to the high ridges of the Welsh mountains. The cottages of that valley are not gathered into villages, but two or three together or lonely among their fruit-trees on the hillside; and the cottagers, who are always courteous and friendly, said a word or two as one went by, but just what they would have said on any other day and without any question about the war. Indeed, they seemed to know, or to wish to know, as little about that as the earth itself, which beautiful there at any time, seemed that afternoon to wear an extreme and pathetic beauty. The country, more than any other in England, has the secret of peace. It is not wild, though it looks into the wildness of Wales; but all its cultivation, its orchards and hopyards and fields of golden wheat, seem to have the beauty of time upon them, as if men there had long lived happily upon the earth with no desire for change nor fear of decay. It is not the sad beauty of a past cut off from the present, but a mellowness that the present inherits from the past; and in the mellowness all the hillside seems a garden to the spacious farmhouses and the little cottages; each led up to by its own narrow, flowery lane. There the meadows are all lawns with the lustrous green of spring even in August, and often over-shadowed by old fruit-trees—cherry, or apple, or pear; and on Sunday after the rain there was an April glory and freshness added to the quiet of the later summer.Nowhere and never in the world can there have been a deeper peace; and the bells from the little red church down by the river seemed to be the music of it, as the song of birds is the music of spring. There one saw how beautiful the life of man can be, and how men by the innocent labours of many generations can give to the earth a beauty it has never known in its wildness. And all this peace, one knew, was threatened; and the threat came into one’s mind as if it were a soundless message from over the great eastward plain; and with it the beauty seemed unsubstantial and strange, as if it were sinking away into the past, as if it were only a memory of childhood.So it is always when the mind is troubled among happy things, and then one almost wishes they could share one’s troubles and become more real with it. It seemed on that Sunday that a golden age had lasted till yesterday, and that the earth had still to learn the news of its ending. And this change had come, not by the will of God, not even by the will of man, but because some few men far away were afraid to be open and generous with each other. There was a power in their hands so great that it frightened them. There was a spring that they knew they must not touch, and , like mischievous and nervous children, they had touched it at last, and now all the world was to suffer for their mischief.So the next morning one saw a reservist in his uniform saying goodbye to his wife and children at his cottage-gate and then walking up the hill that leads out of the valley with a cheerful smile still on his face. There was the first open sign of trouble, a very little one, and he made the least of it; and, after all, this valley is very far from any possible war, and its harvest and its vintage of perry and cider will surely be gathered in peace.But what happiness can there be in that peace, or what security in the mind of man, when the madness of war is let loose in so many other valleys?

(4)E-C英译汉：
Opera is expensive: that much is inevitable. But expensive things are not inevitably the province of the rich unless we abdicate society’s power of choice. We can choose to make opera, and other expensive forms of culture, accessible to those who cannot individually pay for it. The question is: why should we? Nobody denies the imperatives of food, shelter, defence, health and education. But even in a prehistoric cave, mankind stretched out a hand not just to eat, drink or fight, but also to draw. The impulse towards culture, the desire to express and explore the world through imagination and representation is fundamental. In Europe, this desire has found fulfillment in the masterpieces of our music, art, literature and theatre. These masterpieces are the touchstones for all our efforts; they are the touchstones for the possibilities to which human thought and imagination may aspire; they carry the most profound messages that can be sent from one human to another.

Translation:It is a blessing that foolish men get married with foolish women. It is exquisite that intelligent men stay with wise women. If unfortunately, they are mismatched, then life is diminished to days. The essence of all music is melancholy and sentimental, just like the feeling when you see the stream, flowing under the bright sun, cannot take any clouds going upstream away with it while the fallen leaves still choose to flow away with the stream by themselves without hesitation. Beautiful women are the clouds that do not even throw a glance at the wild geese making few cries in the sky in the bright and clear moonlight of deep autumn. 2018专八翻译题汉译英二中文原文：中国民族自古以来从不把人看作高于一切，在哲学文艺方面的表现都反映出人在自然界中与万物占有一个比例较为恰当的地位，而绝非对统治万物的主宰。

英译汉短文Beyond Life---Cabell超越生命——[美] 卡贝尔著Surely it is not asking very much to wish that my personal conduct be intelligible to me! 希望自己之所作为能被自己了解，这肯定不算要求过分。
Yet it is forbidden to know for what purpose this universe was intended, to what end it was set a-going, or why I am here, or even what I had preferably do while here. 不过有些奥秘却不容你去了解，诸如宇宙宏旨之所在，乾坤归宿在何方，我为何置身于此间，于此间该做何事等。
It vaguely seems to me that I am expected to perform an allotted task, but as to what it is I have no notion. 我隐约觉得此生被指望去履行一项既定使命，但这是项什么使命，我却一无所知。
And indeed, what have I done hitherto, in the years behind me? 而且真正说来，我在过去的岁月里又有过什么作为呢？There are some books to show as increment, as something which was not anywhere before I made it, and which even in bulk will replace my buried body, so that my life will be to mankind no loss materially. 有那么几本书可显示为生命之赢余，可显示为在我创作其之前这世间未曾有过的东西，其体积甚至可置换我入土后的那副躯壳，从而使我生命之结束不致给人类造成物质损失。
第28届韩素音翻译比赛汉译英原文和参考译文(下)
韩素音青年翻译奖竞赛 | 译文评析（下） 原创： 中国译协 中国翻译协会 2017-01-10第28届韩素音青年翻译奖竞赛参考译文及评析—（下）汉译英汉译英竞赛原文屠呦呦秉持的，不是好事者争论的随着诺贝尔奖颁奖典礼的临近，持续2个月的“屠呦呦热”正在渐入高潮。
当地时间7日下午，屠呦呦在瑞典卡罗林斯卡学院发表题为“青蒿素——中医药给世界的一份礼物”的演讲，详细回顾了青蒿素的发现过程，并援引毛泽东的话称，中医药学“是一个伟大的宝库”。
对中医药而言，无论是自然科学“圣殿”中的这次演讲，还是即将颁发到屠呦呦手中的诺奖，自然都提供了极好的“正名”。
置于世界科学前沿的平台上，中医药学不仅真正被世界“看见”，更能因这种“看见”获得同世界对话的机会。
拨开层层迷雾之后，对话是促成发展的动力。
将迷雾拨开、使对话变成可能，是屠呦呦及其团队的莫大功劳。
但如果像部分舆论那样，将屠呦呦的告白简单视作其对中医的“背书”，乃至将其成就视作中医向西医下的“战书”，这样的心愿固然可嘉，却可能完全背离科学家的本意。
听过屠呦呦的报告，或是对其研究略作了解就知道，青蒿素的发现既来自于中医药“宝库”提供的积淀和灵感，也来自于西医严格的实验方法。
缺了其中任意一项，历史很可能转向截然不同的方向。
换言之，在“诺奖级”平台上促成中西医对话之前，屠呦呦及其团队的成果，正是长期“对话”的成果。
而此前绵延不绝的“中西医”之争，多多少少都游离了对话的本意，而陷于一种单向化的“争短长”。
持中医论者，不屑于西医的“按部就班”；持西医论者，不屑于中医的“随心所欲”。
双方都没有看到，“按部就班”背后本是实证依据，“随心所欲”背后则有文化内涵，两者完全可以兼容互补，何必非得二元对立？屠呦呦在演讲中坦言，“通过抗疟药青蒿素的研究历程，我深深地感到中西医药各有所长，两者有机结合，优势互补，当具有更大的开发潜力和良好的发展前景”。
这既是站在中医药立场上对西方科学界的一次告白，反过来也可理解为西医立场上对中医拥趸们的提醒。

【参考译文】The grand spirit of Anti-aggression is a vivid reflection of the Chinese people’s persistent solidarity. Upon the Japanese invasion, China’s sons and daughters, here or there, old or young, rich or poor, gather together with one mind and build up an insurmountable Great Wall in resistance, with their flesh and blood.“Indulge never in money and rank, apostatize never when in poverty and hardship, surrender never to power and force.” In times of national crisis, this formida ble mettle and dauntless integrity prompt China’s sons and daughtersto go through fire and water with the courage of despair, making the anti-Japanese war moving and praise-worthy.It is now the 60th anniversary of China’s anti-Japanese war and the worl d’s anti-fascism war.

1.然而,如果没有阿道夫·希特勒，那就几乎可以肯定不会有第三帝国。
因为阿道夫·希特勒有着恶魔般的性格、花岗岩般的意志、不可思议的本能、无情的冷酷、杰出的智力、深远的想象力以及对人和对局势的判断力。

But without Adolf Hitler, who was possessed of a demoniac personality, a granite will, uncanny instincts, a cold ruthlessness, a remarkable intellect, a soaring imagination and----until toward the end, when drunk with power and success, he over reached himself----an amazing capacity to size up people and situations, there almost certainly would never have been a Third Reich.2. 应用科学则直接涉及应用问题。
