二、段落翻译
1、西湖西湖位于杭州市中心的西部，是江南三大名湖之一。

由于西湖的缘故，杭州自古就被誉为“人间天堂”。

西湖就像镶嵌(inlay)在广袤大地上的一颗璀璨的明珠，以其秀丽的风景、闻名的古迹、灿烂的文化和丰富的特产而闻名。

宋代大文豪苏轼在西湖留下了“欲把西湖比西子，淡妆浓抹总相宜”的千古绝唱;白娘子的传奇故事(The Legend ofWhite Snake)也给西湖增添了一
层神秘色彩。

The West Lake
The West Lake, located in the western area of Hangzhou's center, is one of the top three lakes in the regions south of the Yangtze River. Because of it, Hangzhou has been acclaimed as"a heaven on earth" since ancient times. The West Lake is like a shining pearl inlaid on the vast land, renowned for its beautiful scenery, well-known historical sites, brilliant culture, and plentiful local specialties. The literary giant Su Shi in Song Dynasty left a poetic masterpiece through the ages there: The West Lake is like the beauty Xi Shi, who is always charming with either light or heavy make-up (rainy or shiny). The Legend of White Snake also brings the West Lake an air of mystery.
2、长城长城(the Great wall)又被称作“万里长城”，不仅是中华文明的瑰宝，也是中国古代人民智慧的结晶。

长城是世界文化遗产(world cultural heritage)之一，更是中华民族的象征。

其在建筑上的价值，足以与其在历史和战略上的重要性相媲美。

长城现存的遗址有很多处，其中北京的八达岭长城是驰名中外的景区，也是明代长城最具代表性的一段，每年都会接待来自世界各地的许多游客。

The Great Wall
The Great Wall, which is also called “wan li chang cheng" in Chinese language, is not only the treasure of Chinese civilization, but also the masterpiece made by the ancient Chinese people. The Great Wall is not only one of the world cultural heritages, but the symbol of the Chinese nation. Its architectural value is comparable to its historical and strategic importance.
Among the numerous remains of the Great Wall, Badaling in Beijing is the most popular destination that has won fame both at home and abroad. It can also be regarded as the most representative section of the Wall ever constructed during the Ming Dynasty. Every year it attracts many tourists from all over the world.
3、论语《论语》(The Analects of Confucius)是儒家的经典著作之一，它是对孔子及其弟子(disciple)的言行和对话的记录。

众所周知，孔子是一位伟大的思想家和哲学家，他的思想被发展成了的儒家哲学体系。

《论语》是儒家思想的代表作，数个世纪以来，《论语》一直极大地影响着中国人的哲学观和道德观，它也影响着其他亚洲国家人民的哲学观和道德观。

The Analects of Confucius
The Analects of Confucius is one of the Confucius classics and is a record of the words and acts of Confucius and his disciples, as well as the conversations they held. It's well-known that Confucius is a great ideologist and philosopher, and his thoughts have been developed into a system of philosophy known as Confucianism. The Analects of Confucius is a representative work of Confucianism. For centuries, it has been heavily influencing the philosophy and moral outlook of Chinese people and that of the people of other Asian countries as well.
4、中国制造中国公司想创造世界品牌，外国公司想增加在中国的销量，这些都正改变着中国的设计产业。

中国制造商意识到，若他们想在本国市场脱颖而出，在外国市场崭露头角，就必须设计更好的产品。

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。

Made in China
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 companies 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.
分析: 若他们想在本国市场脱颖而出，在外国市场崭露头角，就必须设计更好的产品。

这里的“脱颖而出”和“崭露头角意思相近”，我们尽量选择不同的译法，两个词语可以分别译为“stand out”和“distinguish themselves”。

5、传统美对于一名女子来说，传统美是她的唯一标志。

她的皮肤应该天生丽质，没有皱纹，没有疤痕，没有瑕疵。

她的身材应该消瘦苗条，通常高挑个，双腿修长，其中青春年少则是首要条件。

所有在电视广告中出现的“花容月貌”的靓女都符合这个标准。

这种形象是认为的，是可以人工塑造的。

许多妇女尽其所能来摆布和修改自己的容貌体态。

To a woman, the traditional beauty is her only mark. Her skin should be born smooth without wrinkles, scars or flaws. Her body should be slim and thin, and usually she is tall, having long legs. The youth is the primary condition. All of the beauties who have showed up in the TV commercials are fit for that criterion. This image is artificial and can be made by people. Many women do their best to decorate and modify their looks and figures.
分析: 她的皮肤应该天生丽质，没有皱纹，
没有疤痕，没有瑕疵。

本句中的“皱纹”，“疤痕”，“瑕疵”应选意思最接近的英语词汇，可译为wrinkle,scar,flaw。

6、生活的艺术在中国，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.
分析:
1.人文主义精神
基本素质采分点。

可译为humanism spirit。

2.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。

中文句子结构比较松散，在翻译成英文时我们要尽量使句子间有明显的逻辑结构。

这里“如果…”引导的分句可以作为条件从句前置或内嵌在主句中，“任何一个民族”就可以做主句的主语。

7、主动失业截至2005年第三季度，全国劳动力市场供求状况显示，我国15岁至29岁的青年总体失业率达到了9%，远远高于4.5%的城镇平均登记失业率。

而在此之中，选择主动失业的占到了一半以上。

“主动放弃就业机会的原因很多，但这些人都有一个共性，就是不会因为经济原因饿死。

至少在短时间内。

”复旦大学教授葛剑雄认为，社会发展到现在，一些青年人的确具备了可以失业的条件。

他们不用像上班族那样刻板地工作，可是
相比之下他们的生活却格外“富足”。

Update to the third quarter of 2005,the supply and demand of the whole nation's labor force market indicated that the overall unemployment rate of our country's youth from the age of 15 to 29 was up to 9%,which was much higher than 4.5% of the average rural area register unemployment rate.Among this group,the number of people actively choosing to be unemployed was more than a half.
“There are many reasons to give up the chance of employment,but those people have a common feature that they do not starve for economic reasons at least in a short per iod.”The professor Ge Jianxiong of Fudan University thought that some young people indeed had the conditions to be unemployed as the society develops to nowadays.They do not need to work routinely like the office workers,but comparatively their life was ex tremely “well-off”.
分析: 选择主动失业的占到了一半以上
“选择主动失业”翻译为:“choosing to be unemployed”。

8、湖泊湖泊奇妙无比。

苍鹭(Heron)在岸边缓缓地迈着步子，翠鸟(Kingfisher)和杜鹃换脚着从阳光里飞入树荫，火鸡模样的大鸟在枯枝间忙碌，鹰在头上盘旋。

我们毋庸为时间担忧，可以从容地欣赏周围的一切。

我乘坐的独木舟船头坐着个男孩，他用简陋的弹弓(sling)发射石弹击打飞鸟。

他摆出漂亮的架势瞄准飞鸟，却一次又一次地偏离目标：鸟总是飞出他的射程。

他把弹弓塞回进衬衣内。

我移开目光。

湖水与河水都如热带雨林中的树叶那样乳浊：那水是面纱，是窗帘，是画屏。

This lake was amazing and wonderful. Herons plodded along the shores, Kingfishers and cuckoos clattered from sunlight to shade, great turkey like birds fussed in dead branches, and hawks hovered above us. There was all the time in the world. And we could appreciate everything surrounding by leisurely. The boy in the bow of my canoe slapped stones at birds with a simple sling, a rubber thong and leather pad. He aimed brilliantly at moving targets, missed again and again; the birds were out of his range. He stuffed his sling back in his shirt. Then I looked away.
The lake and river waters were as opaque as rainforest leaves the water was veil, blind, painted screen.
分析: 苍鹭(Heron)在岸边缓缓地迈着步子，翠鸟(Kingfisher)和杜鹃换脚着从阳光里飞入树荫，火鸡模样的大鸟在枯枝间忙碌，鹰在头上盘旋。

这个句子中描绘的五种动物动作的动词是翻译重点，要选择最恰当的词汇。

另外杜鹃，鹰为常用鸟的名字，译为cuckoo,hawk。

9、地域菜系中国一个幅员辽阔、资源丰富、历史悠久的多民族国家，每个民族都有其独特的丰富菜肴。

地域菜系在地理环境、气候、文化传统、民族风俗和其他因素的影响下经过悠久历史的发展已经成形。

最有影响力、最具代表性的是鲁、川、粵、闽、苏、浙、湘、徽菜系，这八种被人们称为“八大菜系”。

中国的“八大菜系”是以多种多样的烹饪方法区分的，各有其长处。

China is a time-honored multi-ethnics nation with a vast territory and abundant resources, and every ethnic group has its unique abundant dishes.
Regional cuisines have taken shape after long-history evolution under the influence of geographical environment, climate, cultural tradition, folk customs and other factors. The most influential and representative ones are Lu, Chuan，Yue, Min, Su，Zhe, Xiang and Hui Cuisines, which are commonly known as “Eight Major Cuisines”. Dishes in the “Eight Major Cuisines” in China are characterized by diversified cooking skills, with each having its strong points。

10、出境旅游联合国下属机构世界旅游组织(World Tourism Organization)公布的数据显示，中国游客对全球旅游业的贡献最大。

中国人去年花在出境游上的支出膨胀至1020亿美元，同2011年相比增长了40%。

联合国世界旅游组织在其网站上发布的一份声明中说，这一增幅令中国迅速超越德国和美国。

后两者在之前是出境游支出最高的两个国家。

2012年德美两国出境旅游支出均同比增长6%，约840亿美元。

The figures from the United Nations World Tourism Organization show that Chinese travelers are making the most contributions to the global tourism industry. Chinese travelers spent a record $102 billion on outbound tourism last year, a 40% rise from 2011. That surge sent China screaming past Germany and the U.S. — the former No. 1 and No. 2 spenders, respectively 一which both saw tourist outlays increase 6% year- on-year to around $84 billion in 2012, the UNWTO said in a statement on its website。

11、竺可桢1936年竺可桢授命出任浙江大学校长。

在此之前，他已经是一位声名卓著的自然科学家了。

从1936年到1949年，竺可桢当了十三年大学校长。

在连绵不断的战争、学运的夹缝中，在极为恶劣的环境下，他跋涉五千里、五易校址、历经五省、颠沛流离，居然将这所他接手时只有
三个学院、十六个系的大学办成了拥有七个学院、二十七个学系全国最完整的两所大学之一。

In 1936,Zhu Kezhen was appointed as the principal of Zhejiang University.Even before then,he had been a famous natural scientist.From 1936 to 1949,Zhu Kezhen worked as the university principal for 13 years.In the extremely hostile environment filled with converging attacks by continuous wars and various university affairs,being homeless and miserable,he trudged 5,000 li and drifted from place to place through 5 provinces,with the university location being changed 5 times.He actually developed the university into one of the nation's two most integrated universities composed of 7 schools and 27 departments,compared with only 3 schools and 16 departments when he took it over.
分析: 他跋涉五千里、五易校址、历经五省、颠沛流离，
颠沛流离:drifted from place to place,这个词还有另外一层意思就是“无家可归，生活痛苦”，为了意思表达的全面，将“homeless and miserable”以分词形式作伴随状语译出，可以表达这是一种持续的状态。

12、乒乓球乒乓球在中国是一项颇受欢迎和推崇的运动。

长期以来，它的确是中国唯一的运动，似乎集足球、篮球和棒球于一身，但却更受欢迎。

任何人都可以打乒乓球，所需的只是一副拍子(paddle)、一个球、一张桌子和一张网而已，这些都易于临时拼凑(improvise)。

人们可以在休息间隙或消磨时间时打兵兵球。

在中国的学校、工
厂甚至某些公司里，都能找到乒兵球桌。

Table tennis is a sport which gains much popularity and praise in China. For a long time, it has really been the only sport in China and seemed to set football, basketball and baseball all rolled into one, but it was more popular. Anyone can play table tennis, for all required are a pair of paddles and ball and a table and net, which are easy to be improvised. People can play it when taking a break or killing time. You can find table-tennis tables in schools, factories or even some companies all over China.
13、找工作如今，越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。

造成这一现象的原因如下：首先，大学生把在校的大多数时间都用在了专业学科学习上，只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。

其次，大学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈，这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。

因此，强烈建议大学生在课余时间做一些兼职工作，以积累相关的工作经验。

Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training. Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce. And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.
难点精析
1.抱怨很难找到好工作：翻译为complain about having great difficulties in finding a good
job。

其中“抱怨做某事”用句型complain about doing sth.表示，having great difficulties in finding a good job表示“找工作有困难”，用到了句型have difficulties in doing sth.。

2.只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训：翻译为it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training。

‘‘只有当才’’用强调句型it is only when…that…表示。

，
3.导致：翻译为results in,同义短语有lead to 和bring about，但是表示不好的结果时一般用短语result in。

4.强烈建议：翻译为it is highly suggested that...，其中highly suggested也可以用strongly recommended 替换，都表示“强烈建议做某事”。

5.积累相关的工作经验：翻译为accumulate relevant working experience.
14、八大菜系中国一个幅员辽阔、资源丰富、历史悠久的多民族国家，每个民族都有其独特的丰富菜肴。

地域菜系在地理环境、气候、文化传统、民族风俗和其他因素的影响下经过悠久历史
的发展已经成形。

最有影响力、最具代表性的是鲁、川、粵、闽、苏、浙、湘、徽菜系，这八种被人们称为“八大菜系”。

中国的“八大菜系”是以多种多样的烹饪方法区分的，各有其长处。

China is a time-honored multi-ethnics nation with a vast territory and abundant resources, and every ethnic group has its unique abundant dishes. Regional cuisines have taken shape after long-history evolution under the influence of geographical environment, climate, cultural tradition, folk customs and other factors. The most influential and representative ones are Lu, Chuan，Yue, Min, Su，Zhe, Xiang and Hui Cuisines, which are commonly known as “Eight Major Cuisines”. Dishes in the “Eight Major Cuisines” in China are characterized by diversified cooking skills, with each having its strong points. 15、中国城市化中国城市化(urbanization)将会充分释放潜在内需(domestic demand)。

一些经济学家指出，在中国几乎所有的发展中城市都面临着城市化的进程。

这使得许多人的生活水平有所提高，也为人们提供更多的就业机会。

随着越来越多的人向城市迁徙，住房及城市基础设施建设(infrastructure construction),包括水源等能源的供应将会成为城市发展的焦点问题。

商品与服务的自由、快速流通是城市化社会的一项基本特征。

逐渐扩张的城市需要更多的零售店来满足消费者的需求。

China’s urbanization will release the full potential of domestic demand. Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country. It will lead to a better quality of life for many people，and provide individuals with more job opportunities. The
construction of housing and city infrastructure, in?cluding water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban develop?ment as more people migrate to cities. Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city. But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation. The fast, free flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society. Ex-panding cities require more retail outlets to serve customers.
16、人类文明演变现代人类约公元前50000年第一次从中亚或印度来到中国。

这些石器时代(Stone Age)的人，居住在洞穴中，穿着毛皮。

公元前4000年左右，这些人开始种植水稻，并饲养羊和鸡。

约公元前3000年，他们开始使用陶器(pottery)并住在房子里。

到公元前2000年，中国人已进入青铜时代(Bronze Age)，并开始用于写字。

约公元前700年，中国的金属工人学会制作铁器工具和武器。

Modem humans first came to China from Central Asia or India about 50,000 BC. These were Stone Age people, who lived in caves and wore fur and leather. By around 4,000 BC, these people were starting to farm rice and keep sheep and chickens. By about 3,000 BC, they were using pottery and living in houses. By 2,000 BC，Chinese people had entered the Bronze Age and had begun to use writing. By about 700 BC，Chinese metal-workers learned to make iron tools and weapons.
17、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 ar e 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 students 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.
18、全球变暖目前，全球变暖是一个热门话题，但是有关全球变暖的各项证据似乎还有些不同的声音。

人们现在已经知道，地球的发展经历了很多周期(cycle),尽管在历史上还未出现过像今天这样的时代，即高度工业化(industrialization)产生如此多的污染。

全球变暖主要是由于二氧化碳气体(carbon dioxide)的增多。

Global warming is the hot topic around the world at this time but, there is also dissention about the evidence being presented to support the argument. The earth is known to go through cycles; although the past has never produced an age of so much industrialization causing the pollution currently being experienced. A major source of the problem is the increase in carbon dioxide levels.
19茶马古道茶马古道(Tea-horse Ancient Road)两边，生活着20多个少数民族。

不同的地方有着各自美丽而神奇的自然风景和传统文化，比如:
大理，丽江古城，香格里拉(Shangrila),雅鲁藏布江大峡谷和布达拉宫(Potala Palace)。

古道的两旁有庙宇、岩石壁画、骚站(post house),古桥和木板路，还有少数民族舞蹈和民族服装。

时至今天，虽然这条古道的踪迹都消失了，但它的文化和历史价值仍然存在。

Along the Tea-horse Ancient Road lived more than 20 minori?ties. Concentrations of beautiful and mysterious natural landscapes and traditional cultures developed in various sites，including Dali old city, Lijiang old city, Shangrila, Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon, Potala Palace. The road features temples, rock paintings, post houses, ancient bridges and plank roads. It is also home to many national minorities and their dances and folk customs. Today, although the traces of the ancient road are fading away, its cultural and historic values remain.
20、月光族中国经济的高速发展，带来了消费文化的日益流行，同时也催生了一批具有高学历，充分享受资本主义消费模式的年轻人，他们习惯于当月工资当月花。

因而被称为“月光族”(the moonlight group)。

“月光族”一词出现于20世纪90年代后期，是用来讽刺那些出身富裕、接受高等教育、充分享受快餐文化(fast food culture)的年轻人。

China’s economy is developing very quickly, and has brought with it a culture of consumption more prevalent with each passing day. At the same time, it has brought into being an educated group of young people who enjoy capitalist consumption way. They’re used to spending money as soon as they get it every month, and so are called the moon light group”. This word came into being during the 1990s, to make fun of those born into wealth，who have received a
high education, and who ap?preciate fast food culture.
21、出境游联合国下属机构世界旅游组织(World Tourism Organization)公布的数据显示，中国游客对全球旅游业的贡献最大。

中国人去年花在出境游上的支出膨胀至1020亿美元，同2011年相比增长了40%。

联合国世界旅游组织在其网站上发布的一份声明中说，这一增幅令中国迅速超越德国和美国。

后两者在之前是出境游支出最高的两个国家。

2012年德美两国出境旅游支出均同比增长6%,约840亿美元。

The figures from the United Nations World Tourism Organization show that Chinese travelers are making the most contributions to the global tourism industry. Chinese travelers spent a record $102 billion on outbound tourism last year, a 40% rise from 2011. That surge sent China screaming past Germany and the U.S. — the former No. 1 and No. 2 spenders, respectively 一which both saw tourist outlays increase 6% year- on-year to around $84 billion in 2012, the UNWTO said in a statement on its website.
22、全球变暖目前，全球变暖是一个热门话题，但是有关全球变暖的各项证据似乎还有些不同的声音。

人们现在已经知道，地球的发展经历了很多周期(cycle),尽管在历史上还未出现过像今天这样的时代，即高度工业化(industrialization)产生如此多的污染。

also dissention about the evidence being presented to support the argument. The earth is known to go through cycles; although the past has never produced an age of so much industrialization causing the pollution currently being experienced. A major source of the problem is the increase in carbon dioxide levels.
23、中国经济活动放缓就像向中国出售商品的公司会看到收益有损失一样，中国经济活动放缓有着世界性的影响。

包括澳大利亚、巴西和东南亚在内的其他国家近年来都看到了巨大的利润，因为中国对自然资源有需求。

中国的需求下降巳经对很多商品的价格有了影响。

上周，中国财政部长楼继伟表示,今年的经济增长可能为7%,而这不一定是“底线”。

A slowdown in economic activity in China has a global impact as companies that sell to China may see revenues suffer. Countries includ?ing Australia, Brazil and others in South East Asia have seen huge profits in recent years because of Chinese demand for natural resources. The fall in demand from China has already had an impact on the prices of many commodities. Last week，China’s Finance Minister Lou Jiwei indicated that economic growth could be 7% for the ye ar, and that this may not be the “bottom line”.
24、探望父母这周颁布的一项新法律要求子女必须经常探望年龄超过60岁的父母，并确保他们经济和精神上的需求得到满足。

星期二，新华社报导了_条新闻，来自江苏市无锡市的一位77岁的老太太起诉她的女儿忽略她。

这是新法律生效后的第一起案件，当地法院规定她的女儿至少
每月探望母亲两次，并提供财力支持。

但是这项法律引发了争议。

有人说这给了那些因为工作、学习或者其他原因搬离家乡的人更多压力。

A new national law introduced this week requires the offspring of parents older than 60 to visit their parents “frequently” and make sure their financial and spiritual needs are met. On Tuesday, Xinhua reported a news that a 77-year-old woman from Jiangsu city of Wuxi sued her daughter for neglecting her. In the first case after the new law came into effect, the local court ruled that her daughter must visit her at least twice a month and provide financial support. But the law’s introduction has proved controversial. Some s ay it puts too much pressure on those who move away from home for work, study or other opportunities.
25、端午节农历五月初五的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是个盛大的节日。

它的另一名称——“重五节”就来源于这个日期。

这个节日根据一个广为流传的故事，演变为纪念战国时期(the Warring States Period)楚国伟大爱国诗人屈原的日子。

如果事实果真如此，那么端午节已经有大约2500年的存史了。

端午节最盛行的活动是赛龙舟和吃粽子(rice dumpling)。

自2008年以来，端午节在中国巳不仅仅是一个传统节日,还是公共假期。

The Dragon Boat Festival is a grand festival celebrated on the 5th day of 5th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. This is the source of the alternative name of Double Fifth Festival. According to a widely stated story, the festival developed to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan of Chu State in Warring States Period. If that is true, Dragon Boat Festival has a history of about 2,500 years. The most popular activities of Dragon Boat festival are racing dragon boats and eating rice dumplings. Since 2008，Dragon Boat Festival has been celebrated not
only as a festival but also a public holiday in China.
26、教育公平为了促进教育公平，中国已经投入360亿元，用于改善农村地区教育设施和加强中西部地区农村义务教育。

这些资金用于改善教学设施、购买书籍，使16万多所中小学收益。

资金还用于购置音乐和绘画器材。

现在农村和山区的儿童可以与沿海城市的儿童一样上音乐和绘画课。

一些为接受更好教育而转往城市上学的学生如今又回到了本地农村学校就读。

(2014年6月真题)
In order to promote equity in education, China has invested 36 billion yuan for the improvement of educational facilities in rural areas and strengthening of rural compulsory education Midwest. These funds were used to improve the teaching facilities, purchase of books, so that more than 160,000 primary and secondary income. Funds are also used to purchase music and painting equipment. Now children in rural and mountainous areas with children's coastal cities like music and painting lessons. Some receive a better education for the city school students now transferred back to the local rural schools now.
27、饮酒长期以来，饮酒(white spirit)在中国人的生活中一直扮演着重要的角色，无论是帝王还是百姓。

饮酒是中国文化的一部分。

中国人的祖先在作诗、写散文时喜欢饮酒，在宴会上还会向亲戚朋友敬酒。

但饮酒不仅属于文化人，也是普通人生活中不可缺少的一部分。

人们在各种场合饮酒，如生日宴会、饯行宴会、婚礼宴会(wedding。
