较小城市的消费者的一种必然趋势是他们更加依赖社交网络服

study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group
says there
will be 220 million affluent
consumers, who are from households earning between
$$ 20,000 to $$ 1 million, in China by 2020, and
75 percent of them will live in
“smaller”
cities. With the development of the Internet, an
inevitable trend among
these consumers is they
are much more dependent on information from social
networking
services. Many of the website’s
customers are “grouped” by Wechat, Weibo and
QQ Zones. It is now estimated that 250 million
Chinese consumers will shop online
this year
and the average shopper in a fourth-tier city in
China will spend 50

cities.
【汉译英2】聘金是中国传统习俗的一部分。这一习惯在整个中国
都很普遍。但是近几
年来其标准不断上升，致使大多数家庭都很难达到。高额的聘礼常常“抢劫”了新郎

【参考译文】Endowment may be part of Chinese tradition,
but the standards have
become so high in
recent years that a majority of families are
finding it difficult
to meet them. The
high endowment amounts often rob grooms’ parents
of their life’s
savings and causes family
disputes. Besides, many newly married couples are
forced
to host extravagant wedding ceremonies
to keep up with the Joneses and, in the
process, run up huge debts that could turn
their married life sour, at least in
the
initial phase. Considering the frugal wedding of
many parents, simple but

【汉译英3】
我整整一生都处于对武术的痴迷之中。但是当我搬到一个有功夫俱乐部的城市
时，我才真正体会到了武术
的魅力，同时也完全理解了为什么人们称它为一种艺术。它是一
种战斗同时也是在进行一种自我防卫，这
其实也达到了让你更加了解自己的身体，从而使它
变得更加强壮和健康的目的。功夫是一门完整的哲学，
而且是中国文化的重要组成部分。当
我开始练习功夫的时候，我才意识到它有多么地困难，哪怕是简单的
一踢或者一打就需要几
个月的时间去练习。但是我太爱它了！一个全新的世界正向我敞开它的大门。
【参考译文】My whole life I’ve been
interested in martial arts. But it was
only
when I moved to another city where there was a
Kungfu club, that I really
enjoyed it and
fully understood why they call it an art. It is
fighting and defending
yourself, but it also
understanding your body more, making it stronger
and healthier.
Kungfu is a whole philosophy
and is a big part of Chinese culture. When I
started
to practice kungfu, I realized how
difficult it was and a simple kick or punch
demanded months of practice. But I loved it! A
whole new world was opening to me.

【参考译文】Scientists, psychologists and
English academics at Liverpool
University have
found that reading the works of Shakespeare and
other classical
writers has a beneficial
effect on the mind, catches the reader’s attention
and
triggers moments of self-reflection. The
research also found that reading poetry,
in
particular, increases activity in the right
hemisphere of the brain, an area
concerned
with “autobiographical memory”, helping the reader
to reflect on and
reappraise their own
experiences in light of what they have read. The

said this meant the classics were
more useful than self-help books.

【参考译文】They poison the mind and corrupt

was the charge leveled
against novels during the 18th century by critics

young people. Today the idea that novels can
harm people sounds daft. And that is surely
how history will judge modern criticism

【参考译文】People kill
each other over diamonds; countries go to war over
oil. But the world’s most expensive
commodities are worth nothing in the absence
of water. Fresh water is essential for life,
with no substitute. Although mostly
unpriced,
it is the most valuable stuff in the world. Nature
has decreed that the
supply of water is fixed.
Meanwhile demand rises inexorably as the world’s
population increases and enriches itself.
Homes, factories and offices are sucking
up
ever more. But it is the planet’s growing need for
food (and the water involved
in producing
crops and meat) that matters most.
竞争与合作(competition and cooperation)
when it
comes to competition and cooperation, some people
always emphasize
competition but neglect
cooperation.
their reasons run as following:
to begin with, they believe only competition
can help them defeat their counterparts; in
addition, they think competition is
the only
way to lead to success.
but some others hold
different opinion. they think cooperation is as
important
as competition. they base their
opinion on the following reasons: on one hand,
cooperation can build trust between
each other and help to bring long-term
relationship; on another hand, cooperation can
turn a small and weak business into
a big and
strong one.
from what has been discussed
above, we may safely draw a conclusion that both
competition and cooperation are essential to
success and thus should be emphasized
at the
same time.
科学与人类生活(Science and Human Life)
science and technology have been bringing
human beings tremendous benefits.
thanks to
science and technology, we now live comfortably
and conveniently in houses
furnished with air
conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and
televisions
etc. thanks to science and
technology, we can eat fresh vegetables att the
year
round. thanks to science and technology,
we can travel tong distances in the fraction
of a second on planes, trains and cars. thanks
to science and technology, we wear
clothes
with synthetic materials which can not easily be
worn out. however, science
and technology have
atso brought us a tot of disasters. first, because
of the many
breakthroughs in the field of
medicine, people are now living much longer than
they used to. as a result, the population of
the world is increasing, causing tots
of
problems. second, because of the development of
industry, tots of the wastes
from factories
pour into the air and rivers, causing pollution of
att kinds. third,
some terrorists are using
science and technology against mankind. they use
biological, chemical and unclear weapons to
threaten world peace...
so it's urgent that
we find ways to solve these problems. but we
should not
stop the development of science and
technology because of these disasters they
bring, just as we should not give up
eating for fear of choking. in addition, we
should make some rules to regulate our
actions. as long as we use science and
technology in a proper way, they may bring us
even more benefits.
怎样面对压力(How to Deal with
Stress)
stress is a state of being upset
that happens when we are under pressure. both
our feelings and our bodies get upset. we can
even get emotionally and physically
sick if we
have too much stress for too can come at us from
every
instance, it can come from fights with
other people. it can come
when we have too
many things to do and too little time to do them.
it can also
come when we do not have enough
money to pay for what we stress can
make us
sick, we have to learn how to deal with it. there
are good ways and bad
ways to do so. we should
deal with stress in good ways, of course. good
ways to
cut down on stress include changing
our lifestyles. for example, we can learn either
to get along with people or to stay away from
them. we can decide what to do now,
what to do
later, and what to leave off doing forever. we can
also figure out how
to get money or we can cut
down on what we want.
we should not deal with
stress in bad ways because bad ways to cut down on
stress just lead to more troubles, for
example, skipping out and leaving our work
undone, blaming our problems on someone else,
stealing or cheating.
灾难
when it comes to disasters, quite a lot of
people believe they will come across
sudden
disasters in their life. to begin with, natural
disasters like earthquakes,
flood and
draught occur now and then; in addition, diseases
like sars, cancer and
tumor will attack people
unexpectedly; last but not the least, car
accidents, plane
crashes can’t be ignored as
part of disasters.
why there are so many
disasters? the reasons may go as follows: on one
hand,
some mysteries about nature are beyond
our control and understanding; on another
hand, people are careless and can’t foresee
what will happen beforehand.
from what has
been discussed above, i may safely draw the
conclusion that
disasters can’t be avoided
now, but with more knowledge about nature, we’ll
certainly reduce the loss brought by them to
the smallest degree, so the prospect
we are
looking forward to will be both bright and
encouraging.
诚信
when it comes to honesty,
quite a lot of people believe it is essential to a
person’s
character and success.
they
base their idea on the following reasons: on one
hand, successful business
owes much to mutual
trust; on another hand, great people in history
such as abraham
lincoln and genete washington
set us good examples of being honest, they are
great
because they are honest.
but some
people think differently. they believe honesty is
becoming out of
date. their reasons run as
following: to begin with, cheating on exams is
becoming
more and more popular; in addition,
some singers and movie stars cheat on taxes;
last but not the least, if you are not careful
enough, you’ll buy some defective
goods and
fake products.
it is high time we
emphasized and encouraged honesty. we can take
effective
measures to restore it. for example,
kids should be taught to tell truth, strict
rules and regulations should be carried out to
stop cheatings on exams and taxes,
etc.
