内容来源：新东方在线

1. 中国国画

中国国画的根源可以追溯到新石器时代的陶器(Neolithic pottery)，比如鱼、青蛙、鹿、鸟、花、树叶的形状。最早的中国汉字是象形文字(pictograph)。由于相似的工具被使用于最早期的绘画和书写，绘画被认为是与书法(calligraphy)有着相同的起源。这样一来，中国国画就有着一种非凡的特征，也就是说，诗意和书法被印刻(inscribe)在画中，从而三者合为一体.给人们一种更加强烈的美的享受。

参考译文：

The roots of Chinese painting can be traced back to paintings on Neolithic pottery，such as figures of fish，frogs，deer，birds，flowers and tree leaves.The earliest Chinese characters were pictographs.Since similar tools were used for the earliest painting and writing，painting is said to have the same origin as calligraphy.Thus，Chinese painting has an outstanding characteristic，that is to say.poetry or calligraphy are inscribed on paintings so that the three are integrated，giving people a keener enjoyment of beauty.

难点注释：

1.第一句中，“追溯到”还可以译为date back to或go back to。

2.第三句中，“被使用于”含被动含义，且此处表达过去的情况，故译为were used for;“被认为是”还可以译为is deemed to或is considered to。

3.第四句中，“这样一来”还可以译为therefore;“也就是说”还可以译为in other words;“三者合为一体”应该使用被动语态结构，可译为the three are integrated;“给人们一种更加强烈的美的享受”为结果状语，故用现在分词结构作状语，可译为giving people a keener enjoyment of beauty。

2. 景泰蓝

景泰蓝(cloisonne)是一种起源于元代北京的独特艺术。在明代的景泰年间，非常钟情于青铜制造技术(bronze-casting techniques)的君王发展了色彩加工技术，并且创造了迎合东方审美的亮蓝色。在一次加工技术的突破之后，此君王的大部分日常用具都由景泰蓝制成。很快地，景泰蓝在普通人当中变得流行起来。在清朝，景泰蓝得到了发展，并且达到了其艺术巅峰。颜色更加精美.使用范围也扩大了。

参考译文：

Cloisonne is a unique art form that originated in Beijing during the Yuan Dynasty.In the period titled“Jingtai”during the Ming Dynasty，the emperor who was very much interested in bronze-casting techniques improved the color process.and created the bright blue that catered to the Oriental aesthetic sense. After a processing breakthrough，most articles for his daily use were made of cloisonne.Cloisonne became popular among the common people soon.During the Qing Dynasty，cloisonne had been improved and reached its artistic summit. Colors were more delicate，and scope of use was enlarged.

难点注释

1.第一句中，“起源于元代北京的”应该使用定语从句，可译为that originated in Beijing during the Yuan Dynasty。

2.第二句中，“非常钟情于青铜制造技术的”是一个较长的定语，应该使用定语从句，可译为who was very much interested in bronze-casting techniques;“迎合”还可译为appealed to;“东方审美”可译为the Oriental aesthetic sense 。

3.第三句中，“加工技术的突破”可译为a processing breakthrough。

4.第四句中，“在普通人当中变得流行起来”可以用became popular among the common people来表达。

5.第五句中，“达到了其艺术巅峰”可以用reached its artistic summit来表达。

3.北方的冬夏

在中国，北方的冬天在12月和3月之间，相当寒冷(chilly)。北京的气温不会在0℃以上，尽管通常会比较干燥和晴朗。长城以北，在内蒙古(Inner Mongolia)和黑龙江，要冷得多。北方的夏季在5月和8月之间。北京的气温偶尔会达到37℃，甚至更高。7月和8月同时也是这个城市的雨季。春秋季是游览的最好季节。白天的气温会在21℃至29℃之间，而且雨水偏少。

参考译文：

incredibly chilly.Beijing's temperature does not rise above 0℃.although it will generally be dry and sunny.North of the Great Wall.into Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang.it is much colder.Summer in the North is around May to August. Beijing’s temperature Can occasionally rise to 37℃and even higher.July and August are also the rainy months in the city.Spring and autumn are the best seasons for visiting

it.Daytime temperatures are between 21℃and 29℃.and there is less rain.

难点注释：

1.第一句中，“在12月和3月之间”可译为fall between December and March，此处fall 意为“适逢，正当(某日)”。

2.第二句中，“尽管通常会比较干燥和晴朗”为让步状语从句，可译为although it will generally be dry and sunny。

3.第三句中，“要冷得多”要用比较级，可译为it is much colder。

4.第五句中，“偶尔会达到”可译为0ccasionally rise to。

5.第六句中，“雨季”可译为rainy months。

6. 第八句中，“白天的气温”可译为daytime temperatures。

4.饮食差异

在中国的南方和北方，饮食差异很大，也就是说，北方厨师(chef)所烹饪的菜肴口味更重，而在南方的食谱(recipe)中，菜肴的味道相对清淡。有时我们说南方菜肴的美味在于它的甜

度和新鲜。在中国的一些省份，如宁夏、河北、四川、陕西和云南，餐食多为辣味，这是由

于湿冷的天气和高海拔(high altitude)所导致的。人们认为出汗是预防湿冷气候导致的疾病

的一个好方法。

参考译文：

There is a big difference about the diets between Northern and Southern China.that is.the dishes made by Northern chefs are in heavier taste and those are comparably light in Southern chefs’recipes.Sometimes.we say it is tasty as sweet and fresh in Southern dishes.In some provinces of China like Ningxia，Hebei，Sichuan，

Shaanxi and Yunnan，the diets are made hot and spicy because of the humid cold

weather and high altitude.People believe that to sweat is a good method for preventing diseases caused by humidity and cold.

难点注释：

1.第一句中，“饮食差异很大”可译为there is a big difference about the diets;“也就是说”

可译为that is;“口味更重”可译为in heavier taste;“相对清淡”可译为comparably light。

中国国际出版集团(China International Publishing Group)是中国最大的、最权威的外语出版发行单位。它坚持“让中国走向世界，让世界了解中国”的出版原则(philosophy)，全心致力于中国外语教育与研究事业的发展，以及中外文化交流事业的拓展。为了加强对出版人才队伍的建设，该集团每年都要选派一些青年员工到国内外知名高等学府和研究机构进修。参考译文：

China International Publishing Group is the largest and the most authoritative foreign language publishing and distribution establishment. Adhering to the publishing philosophy of“assisting China's march to the world and facilitating world’s understa nding of China”.the Group commits itself entirely to promoting foreign language education and research in China and advancing cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.In order to build up a strong team of publishing staff，the

Group makes it a rule that young staff will be selected and sent to noted universities and research institutions, both domestic and overseas，for further studies every year.

难点注释：

1.第一句中，“最权威”可以译成the most authoritative;“出版发行”是两个名词，可以译为

publishing and distribution。

2.第二句比较复杂，通过分析发现，“坚持……的出版原则”可以译成一个现在分词短语作句子

的状语，即adhering to…;“全心致力于……”可以作主句，主语是the Group，因此可以译成

the Group commits itself entirely to…：commits itself entirely to…中的to是介词，后

面应接动名词形式，即翻译成promotin9…和advancing…。

3.第三句中，“为了”可译为in order to;“都要……”可以理解为“作为常例”，可译为makes it a rule;“选派”包含了“选”和“派”，且此处译为被动语态更客观，所以可译为be selected and sent to…。

6. 泡茶饮茶

在中国，当有客人来访时，泡茶(serve tea)是必不可少的。你可提前询问客人最喜欢喝什么茶以便选用最佳茶具(tea set)来待客。主人在陪伴客人饮茶时，要非常注意茶壶以及客人茶杯中的茶水剩余量。通常，如茶已喝去一半，就要添加茶水，随喝随添，使茶水浓度(concentration)不变和温度适宜。在饮茶时也可适当佐以点心、糖果、菜肴等，达到调节口味和缓解饥饿感之功效。

参考译文：

In China，it is necessary to serve tea to visitors.You call ask them about what kind of tea they fancy most in advance so as to serve them with the most appropriate tea set.In the course of serving tea，the host should take careful note of how much water

remaining in the kettle and in the cups of the https://www.360docs.net/doc/8d14319558.html,ually. boiling water should be added after half of the cup has been consumed.and thus the cup is kept filled so that the tea retains the same concentration and remains pleasantly warm throughout the entire course of tea-drinking.Snacks，sweets and other dishes may be served at tea

time to complement the fragrance of the tea and to allay one’s hunger.

难点注释：

1.第一句中，“当有客人来访时”可以译为when there’re visitors，但比较啰嗦，不如直接译为visitors简练;“泡茶是必不可少的”可用it-句型，其中it作形式主语，可译为it is necessary to…。

2.第二句中，“最喜欢喝什么茶”作“询问”的宾语，可译为what kind of tea they fancy most;“以便”还可译为in order to(do)，with the aim of(doing)，for the purpose

of(doing)。

3.第三句中，“在陪伴客人饮茶时”指的是饮茶的过程，所以译为In the course of serving tea;“茶水剩余量”可译为how much water remaining。

4.第四句中，“添加茶水”使用被动语态结构，用“茶水”作主语，可译为boiling water should be added;“随喝随添”指的是保持茶杯是满的，所以译为the cup is kept filled。

5.第五旬中，“调节口味”指的是用点心、糖果、菜肴等来补充茶的香味，可译为complement the fragrance of the tea;“缓解饥饿感”可译为allay one’s hunger。

7.分盛食物

在中国，食物是用大的公用盘子(communal plate)来盛装的，而且基本上都会提供公用的筷子来将食物从公用的盘子里弄到你自己的盘子里。如果有公用的筷子就用公共的筷子来分开食物。如果没有，或是不确定有没有，你可以先等一等，看其他人是怎么做的，然后效仿就行。有时候热心的中国主人会帮你将食物分到你的碗里，这很正常。

参考译文：

In China.the food is served via large communal plates.and in nearly every case.you will be supplied with communal chopsticks for transferring food from the main plates to your own.You should use the communal chopsticks if they are supplied.If they are not or you are unsure，wait for someone to serve food to their own plates.and then

copy what they do.0n occasion.it is normal for an eager Chinese host to place food into your bowl.

难点注释：

1.第一句中，“是用……来盛装的”是被动语态结构，可译为is served via…;“公用的筷子”可译

为communal chopsticks;“从公用的盘子里弄到你自己的盘子里”可译为transferring

food from the main plates to your own。

2.第二句中，“如果有公用的筷子”可以译为there be句型，但用“筷子”作主语，采用被动语

态结构更恰当，可译为if they are supplied。

3.第三句中，“效仿”指的是效仿他们所做的事情，要将宾语补充完整，可译为copy what

they do。

4.第四句中，“这很正常”通常译为it.句型，可译为it is normal for sb.to do sth.;“将食物分

到你的碗里”可译为place food into your bowl。

9. 发展学前教育

中国通过运动员(mobilize)全社会的资源来发展学前教育。虽然当地政府会开办幼儿园，但

也鼓励单位团体、社会组织以及个人去开办幼儿园。幼儿园采用将儿童保育和教育相结合的

原则，并且保证幼儿得到体力、智力、道德和美学的(aesthetic)全方位发展。让玩耍成为

活动的主要形式，幼儿园创造了一个适于学习的良好环境，并且给婴幼JL4f3提供机会和条件来练习和展现他们的才能。

参考译文：

While local governments run kindergartens，work units，social organizations and individuals are also encouraged to open kindergartens. Kindergartens apply the principle of combining child care with education，and ensure山at the infants achieve all.round physical.intellectual，moral and aesthetic development.With play as the basic form of activity，kindergartens create a good environment for learning and provide the infants with opportunities and conditions to exercise and display their abilities. 难点注释：
