四级翻译预测

众所周知，吸烟不仅有害我们的健康，对环境也不利。吸烟能引起许多疾病,如肺癌(lung cancer)。吸烟也会影响不吸烟的人。被动吸烟者(passive smokers)生病的几率甚至高于吸烟者。有些年轻人认为吸烟很酷,有些人则认为吸烟能提神。如今，越来越多的公共场合挂起了禁止吸烟的标志。这是我们取得的巨大进步。为了我们的健康，我们需要做出更大的努力，禁止人们在公共场所吸烟。

As we all know,smoking is not only harmful to our health,but also harmful to the environment.Smoking can cause many diseases,such as lung cancer.Smoking also affects non-smokers.For passive smokers,their chance of getting ill is even greater than that of smokers.Some young people think that smoking is cool,and some think that smoking can refresh themselves.Nowadays,more and more public places have hung up “non-smoking” signs.This is a big progress we have made.Greater efforts need to be made to ban smoking in public places for the sake of our health.

五年造就中国高铁！

中国五年前根本没有高速铁路。但是现在高铁列车(high-speed trains)的票经常很快就售罄，尽管发车间隔比较短。人们能够很方便地以两倍于美国火车最髙速的速度在全国周游。高速铁路系统的运菅非常成功，它运载的乘客是全国民航 (civil aviation)系统运载的乘客的两倍。中国有世界上最先进的、低排放的快速运输系统之一，而做到这一点仅仅用了五年。

China didn't have a high-speed rail five years ago.But now the tickets of high-speed trains are usually sold out very quickly, even though the departure interval is quite short.And people can conveniently travel around the nation at a speed that doubles the speed of the fastest American train.The operation of high-speed rail system is very successful; it carries twice as many passengers as the nation's civil aviation system.China has one of the most advanced rapid transit systems with low emissions in the world, and it only takes five years to achieve this.

在中国，人们对一切艺术的艺术，即生活的艺术，懂得很多。一个较为年轻的文明国家可能会致力于进步;然而一个古老的文明国度，自然在人生的历程上见多识广，她所感兴趣的自然是如何过好生活。就中国而言，由于有了中国的人文主义精神，把人当作一切事物的中心，把人类幸福当做知识的终结，于是，强调生活的艺术就是更为自然的事情了。但即使没有人文主义，一个古老的文明也一定会有一个不同的价值尺度，只有这样，它才会知道什么是“持久的生活乐趣”。任何一个民族，如果它不知道如何享受生活，那么，在我们的眼里，这个民族一定是粗野的，不文明的。

In China,people know a lot about the art of all arts,namely,the art of life.A comparatively young country will dedicate to the progress;however,an ancient civilized country is experienced and knowledgeable in the life road,and naturally she is interested in how to lead a good life.As to China,it is much more natural to emphasize the art of life because of the humanism spirit of China,taking people as the center of everything and making human being's happiness as the end of knowledge.Even if there is no humanism,an ancient civilization would also have its own value standard,and only in this way would it know what the “lasting life pleasure”is.Any nation,if it does not know how to enjoy life,must be barbaric and uncivilized in our eyes.

大学生就业选择

许多刚毕业的大学生找不到工作，在校学生则担心他们的未来。多个调查显示，三分之二的中国毕业生想在政府或者国有企业工作，而不是为中国令人瞩目的经济增长提供动力的民营企业。政府和国有企业被认为能免受经济萧条的影响。如今几乎没有大学生愿意放弃政府的铁饭碗而下海、加入初创企业或自己创业。

Many recent college graduates can’t find a job and students are fearful about their future. Two-thirds of Chinese graduates say they want to work either in the government or state-owned firms，which are seen as recession-proof, rather than at the private companies that have powered China’s remarkable economic climb, surveys indicate. Few college stu?dents today, according to the surveys, are ready to leave the safe shores of government work and jump into the sea to join startups or go into business.

龙门石窟

龙门石窟（Longmen Grottoes)坐落于洛阳市南。它和云冈石窟（Yungang Caves)、莫髙窟(Mogao Caves)被视为中国最著名的三大石窟。许多关于艺术、音乐、宗教、书法、医药、服装和建筑的历史资料都保存在龙门石窟里。龙门石窟1400个洞穴内有多达10万座雕像，雕像髙度从1英寸到57英尺不等。这些作品完全致力于佛教主题，代表了中国石刻艺术的巅峰。

Longmen Grottoes are located in the south of Luoyang city. Longmen Grottoes,Yungang Caves and Mogao Caves are regarded as three most famous grottoes in China.Lots of historical materials concerning art,music,religion,calligraphy,medicine,costume and architecture are kept in Longmen Grottoes.There are as many as 100,000 statues within the 1,400 caves,ranging from 1 inch to 57 feet in height.These works that are entirely devoted to the Buddhist religion,represent the peakedness of Chinese stone carving art.
