尽管中 国古代神话(mythology)没有十分完
整的情节，神话人物也没有系统的家谱
(gen ealogy)，但它们却有着鲜明的东方文化特
色，其中尤为显著的是它的尚德精神(the spirit
of esteeming virtue)。这种尚德精神在与西方神
话特别 是希腊神话比较时，显得更加突出。在西
方神话尤其是希腊神话中，对神的褒贬标准多以
智慧、 力量为准则，而中国古代神话对神的褒贬
则多以道德为准绳。这种思维方式深植于中国的
文化之 中。几千年来，这种尚德精神影响着人们
对历史人物的品评与现实人物的期望。

does not have relatively complete plot and

genealogy, they have distinct features of oriental
culture, among which the spirit of esteeming
4.减碳：可译为carbon

virtue is particularly
compared with Western mythology, especially
Greek mythology, this spirit of esteeming virtue
is even more Western mythology,
especially Greek mythology,the criteria for
judging whether a god is good or not are mostly
the god's wisdom and strength,while in ancient
Chinese mythology, the criterion lies in morality.
This way of thinking is deeply rooted in Chinese
thousands of years, this spirit of
esteeming virtue has affected people's comments
on historical figures and expectations of real
people.

人口达到或超过一定的比例的人口结构模型。按
照联合国的传统标准是一个地 区60岁以上老人
达到总人口的10%，新标准是65岁老人占总人

口的7%，即该地区视为进入老龄化社会。老龄
化的加速对经济社会都将产生巨大的压力。2009年10月26日，中国传统节日重阳节(the Double
Ninth Festival) 到来之际，中国正式启动了一项
应对人口老龄化战略研究，以积极应对持续加剧
的人口老龄化危 机。
【参考译文】
An aging society refers to a population
structure model in which aging population
reaches or exceeds a certain proportion. The
region is regarded as entering an aging society
according to the UN’s traditional standard that
an area’s old people over 60 years old takes up
10% of the total population, while the new
standard is old people over 65 years old takes up
7% of the total population. The acceleration of
aging will bring enormous pressure to both
economy and society. On October 26, 2009 when
the Double Ninth Festival, the traditional
Chinese festival, came, China formally launched
a strategic research on coping with aging of
population to deal with increasingly intensifying

population aging crisis.

中国正式启动了一项应对人口老龄化战略
研究，以积极 应对持续加剧的人口老龄化危机。
China formally launched a strategic research on

crisis.(注：注意两个“应对”的不同翻译)

如今，中国正步入老龄化社 会，因此独生子
女一代面临着巨大的工作和生活压力。中国政府
开始适当调整计划生育政策，允 许一些家庭在特
殊情况下生育二胎。但调查显示，很多夫妻迫于
不断加重的经济压力，放弃生育 二胎。因此，要
从根本上解决老龄化的问题不能依靠出生率的
上升，最有效的办法是建立有效的 社会保障制
度。

【精彩译文】
Nowadays, China is stepping into the
aging society. Therefore, the only- child
generation is facing enormous pressure both
from work and life. The Chinese government
has begun to adjust the familyplanning policy
and allows some families to have a second child

under certain circumstances. However, the
survey shows thatsome couples abandon to have
a second child due to the increasing financial
burden. Thus, in order to solve the aging
problem, the basic thing is not relying on the
increase of birth rate. The best solution is to
establish an effective social security system.

在中国，尊老爱幼是中华民族的优秀传

多次颁布法令，提倡并奖励孝敬老人的行为。中
国人以爱、教育、友善和严格的方式对待子 孙后
代，体现了强烈的道德责任感。尊老爱幼的传统

童节。除此之外，政府还颁布 特定的法律保护妇
女儿童，法律也明确规定中国公民有义务赡养父
母、抚养子女。

年夜饭(family reunion dinner)是除夕
(New Year’s Eve)的最后一餐。这一天人们准备
除旧迎 新，一家相聚，共进晚餐。一年一次的团
圆饭充分地表现出中华民族家庭成员的互敬互
爱。家人 的团聚往往令“一家之主”在精神上得
到安慰与满足，老人家看儿孙满堂，过去的关怀
与抚养子 女所付出的心血没有白费，这是何等的
幸福。而年轻一辈也正可以借此机会对父母的养
育之恩表 达感激之情。
参考译文：
Family reunion dinner is the last meal
of New Year’s Eve. On this day, people are
ready to bid farewell to the old year and
welcome the new year. They get together and
have dinner together. The annual reunion dinner
fully illustrates the mutually respect and love of
the family members of the Chinese nation. The
reunion of the family members always gives
mental comfort and satisfaction to the “host of

the family”. What happiness it is to see his
children and grandchildren gathering around
him and that his painstaking effort paid in the
past to care for and raise them is worthwhile. At
the same time, the younger generation can take
this opportunity to show their gratitude for their
parents who gave birth to them and raised them.

翻译原文：
最近，一些地方大学开始将方言列为某
些学生的必修课程，学生们要学习当地方言，然后被评分以作为毕业的依据之一。一方面，支持
此种做法的人认为，将方言列为必修课可防止其消失，从而使当地传统文化和文化多样性得以弘
扬，同时城市独特的个性得以保留。另一方面，反对此种做法的人争论说，当地学生与外地学生
相比有很多绝对优势，因此将方言列为必修课会引起教育不公平的问题。而且，将方言列为必修
课程还会引起一些其他问题，如教材使用、师资问题和考试标准等。在我看来，方言作为传统文
化不可缺少的一部分和一种交流工具，可以让学生自愿学习和使用，而不是强制完成。

参考译文：
Recently, it has been practiced by some
local universities that dialect is made a
compulsory course for some students, under
which students are subject to learning the local
dialect and then graded as one of the judging

factors for them to graduate. On the one hand,
people approving the practice maintain that it
will help to prevent the dialect from
extinguishing so that the local traditional culture
and the cultural diversity can be enhanced, and
the unique urban identity can be preserved
simultaneously. On the other hand, people in
opposition to the practice contend that it will
give rise to the appearance of educational
inequality, for the local students will enjoy
absolute advantages over those from other
places. Moreover, the inclusion of dialect in
compulsory courses will bring forth other
problems like teaching material, teachers and
examination standards. As far as I am
concerned, dialects, as an indispensable part of
local traditional culture as well as a tool for
communication, can be acquired and used
voluntarily, not compulsorily.

中 国市场经济的发展而迅速增长。因此，那
些追求物质生活的人们只要有购买力，就不可避

免地会购买奢侈品。一项报告显示，中国的奢侈
品消费总额占全球市场份额的四分之 一，且位居
世界第二，仅次于日本。然而，从消费观念方面
来讲，很多中国的消费者还处在“炫 耀性消费”
的阶段，这是一种不健康的状态。奢侈品不应该

参考译文：

As China has achieved new heights in
its economy and recently entered an era of mass
consumption, the purchasing power of Chinese
people is rising along with the development of
market economy. Therefore, it is inevitable that
people who pursue material life buy luxuries as
long as they can afford. According to a report,
the total consumption of luxuries in China
accounted for a quarter of the global market
share and ranked second in the world after
Japan. However, in regard to consumption
concept, a large number of Chinese consumers
are still in the stage of “conspicuous
consumption”, which is unhealthy. Luxuries
should not be the tools of showing off or signs
associated with power, wealth and social ties.

唐朝时期，人们就在昌南建造窑坊(kiln),
烧制出一种青白瓷(bluish white po rcelain)。青白
瓷色彩晶莹，有“人造玉器”的美称，因而远近
闻名，并大量出口欧洲 。当时，欧洲人还不会制
造瓷器，因此中国特别是昌南镇的瓷器很受欢

迎。 在欧洲，昌南镇瓷器是备受珍爱的贵重物
品，人们以能获得一件昌南镇瓷器为荣。因此，
欧洲人就以“昌南”作为瓷器和生产瓷器的“中
国”的代称。久而久之，欧洲人就把昌南的本意
忘却了，只记得它是“瓷器”，即“中国”了。
参考译文：
In the Tang Dynasty, people started to
build kilns to make bluish white porcelain in
Changnan. The bluish white porcelain was
glittering and had the reputation of artificial
jade, so it became famous home and abroad and
was exported to Europe in large amount. At that
time, Europeans were not able to make
porcelain,so porcelain from China，especially
from Changnan，was warmly welcomed. In
Europe，porcelain from Changnan was
luxurious article cherished by everyone, and
obtaining even one piece of it would make
people feel very proud. In this way，Europeans
used Changnan as the code name for china
(porcelain) and the place of its production，
China. Gradually, Europeans forgot the original

meaning of Changnan，only remembering it is
“china”，namely“China”.
词句点拨
1.烧制出一种青白瓷:可译为make
bluish white porcelain， 烧制可译为 make，“青
白色的”可译为bluish white。
2.色彩晶萤:可译为glittering,意为“闪
闪发光的”。
3.远近闻名:可译为be famous home
and abroad。
4.以…为荣:即be proud of,文中译为…
make people feel proud。
5.久而久之:理解为“逐渐地”，可用
gradually来表达。
6.只记得它是瓷器:根据前后句，本句可
译为only remembering it is “china”, 用现在
分词作状语来表达。

春节是中国人一年中的第一个传统佳节。
过去，春节被称为“新年”，因为按照中国一直沿用的农历，这天是正月初一，为新一年的开头。
据记载，中国人民过春节已有4000多年的历史 ，
它是由虞舜兴起的。公元前两千多年的一天，舜

即天子位，带领着 部下人员，祭拜天地。从此，
人们就把这一天当作岁首，算是正月初一。据说
这就是农历新年的 由来，后来叫春节。1911年
辛亥革命后，中国采用公历纪年，农历新年便改
称“春节”。
参考译文：
Spring Festival is the first traditional
festival for the Chinese people. In the past years,
Spring Festival was called “new year”, for this
day was the first day of the lunar month
according to the lunar calendar which had long
been used in China, so it was the beginning of a
new year. It is recorded that Chinese people
have celebrated Spring Festival for more than
4000 years, which was started by Yu Shun. One
day as far back as 2000 B.C, Shun was
inaugurated as the emperor. He led his men to
hold a ceremony in honor of Heaven and Earth.
From then on, people saw that day as the
beginning of the year, i.e. the first day of the
lunar month. This is said to be the origin of the
lunar new year, which was called Spring Festival

later. After the Revolution of 1911, China began
to number the years according to the Gregorian
calendar, and it was then that the lunar new
year began to be called Spring Festival.
