练习1
中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如,我国的端午节
(the Dragon
Boat Festival)是纪念古代 诗人屈原的日子。那一天,人们
通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(z
ongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月
亮象征
着圆满,象征着家庭团聚。因此,中秋节
(The Mid-autumn
Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国
的农历新年(the Chinese
lunar New Year’s holiday),除了常见的家禽和
肉类之外,人们还要按各自
的地方习俗烹制传统食物,如饺子和年糕。
难点精析
1.中国的传统节庆膳食:翻译为Traditional Chinese holiday
meals,其中
“节庆膳食”直接译为holiday meals ,
即可,翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”
的顺序。
2.纪念:翻译为介词短语in
memory of,修饰前面的a day。
3.赛龙舟:翻译为hold dragon
boat races,其中hold意为“举行”,“举行龙
舟比赛”即“赛龙舟”。
4.
观赏满月:“满月”即fMlmoon,此处的“观赏”可以译为viewing,也可以用
enjoy
ing或watching表示。
5.象征着家庭团聚:“象征”翻译为系表结构is a
symbol for,也可以用动词
symbolize表示,“家庭团聚”翻译: 为
family reunion 即可。
练习2
中国新年是中国最重要的传统节日,在中国
也被称为春节。新年的庆祝
活动从除夕开始一直延续到元宵节(the Lantern
Festival),即从农历
(lunar
calendar)最后一个月的最后一天至新年第一个月的第十五天。各
地欢 度春节的习俗和传统有
很大差异,但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜
团聚,一起吃年夜饭。为驱厄运、迎好运,家家户户都会进行大
扫除。
人们还会在门上粘贴红色的对联(couplets),对联的主题为健康、发财
和好运
。其他的活动还有放鞭炮、发红包和探亲访友等。
难点精析
1.庆祝活动:译为cele
brations即可,考生要注意,不要看到“庆祝活动”
就想在celebration的后面加上
activities。
2. 有很大差异:译为…vary
widely,此句还可以翻译为…are rather
different。
3.驱厄运、迎好运:译为sweep away ill fortune and to
bring in good
luck,此处的“驱”如果考生无法译出: sweep
away,也可以用简单的get
rid of来表达。
3 7
4.大扫除:译为thoroughly clean the house。
5.放鞭炮、发红包:译为 lighting firecrackers, giving
money in red
envelopes。放鞭炮还可以用 set off
firecrackers或 fire firecrackers来
表达。
练习3 <
br>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。
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.

br>北京有无数的胡同(hutong)。平民百姓在胡同里的生活给古都北京带来
了无穷的魅力。北
京的胡同不仅仅 是平民百姓的生活环境,而且还是
一门建筑艺术。通常,胡同内有一个大杂院,房间够
4到10个家庭的差
不多20 口人住。所以,胡同里的生活充满了友善和人情味。如今,随
着
社会和经济的飞速发展,很多胡同被新的高楼大 厦所取代。但愿胡
同可以保留下来。
难点精析
1.带来了无穷的魅力:翻译为bring endless charm to。
2.汉语习惯于用并列的散句或短语来表达一个语境,而英文习惯上用整
句表述,句内不太重要
的信息会用 | 介词短语或从句来补充说明,如本
段中“胡同内有一个大杂院,房间够4到10个家庭
的差不多20口人住”
是 :
两个并列关系的汉语短句,翻译成英文时可将第二句用with介词
结构表达出来,起补充说明的作用。
3.充满友善和人情味:翻译为full of friendliness and genuine
humanity。
4.随着社会和经济的飞速发展:翻译为with rapid social
and economic
development,也是with介词短语的应用,在句中作伴随状语。

Traditional Chinese holiday meals are
indispensable on some
festivals. For example,
the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established
in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and
people usually hold
dragon boat races and eat
zongzi, or rice dumplings on that day. The
Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing
the full moon. The
round moon is a symbol for
completeness and family reunion. The
special
food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as
the
mooncake. The Spring Festival is the
Chinese lunar New Year’s
holiday. Besides the
popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional
food according to regional customs, for
example, jiaozi, or boiled
dumplings, and
niangao, or the new year cake.

参考答案3
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.
参考答案4
In the
past seven years, China’s real estate industry has
developed in
a record high speed. For those
who earn less but are eager to own a
decent
and comfortable place of their own in a big city,
the high
housing price is a heavy burden that
they cannot afford. For this
reason, the
government has taken a series of measures to
prevent the
housing price from rising too
fast, including raising interest rates and
increasing taxes on real estate etc.
Presently, these measures have
achieved
initial effects in some cities.
参考答案5
In
Beijing, there are numerous hutongs. The life of
common
people in hutongs brings endless charm
to the ancient capital, Beijing.
The hutong in
Beijing is not only the living environment of
common
people but also a kind of architecture.
Usually, there is a courtyard
complex inside
hutong, with rooms shared by 4 to 10 families of
about
20 people. Therefore, life in hutongs is
full of friendliness and genuine
humanity.
Nowadays, with rapid social and economic
development,

many hutongs are
replaced by new tall buildings. I hope hutongs can
be preserved.
