and know about
entrepreneurial culture. 从狭义上来说

story there are hundreds who will fall by the
wayside.

Unit 16
科普性口译—汉译英(汉语概要、进化本质、蚊虫之祸、用筷技艺)
1. 对于那些只熟悉普通的欧洲
语言的人来说,汉语是一种截然不同的语言。在他们看来,汉字的笔划错综复杂的令人难
以置信。To
people who are familiar only with the common
European languages, the Chinese language is
strikingly
different. For them, Chinese
characters are formed with many strokes that
appear incredibly intricate.
2. 如果我们仔细观察一下汉语的结
构,我们便可以发现汉语在许多方面较西方语言更为简单。例如,汉语基本上没有什
么动词变化形式,也
没有名次变格现象。If we examine the structure of the
Chinese language more closely, we find
it
simpler in many ways than Western languages. For
example, the Chinese language has virtually no
conjugation
for its verbs and no declension
for its nouns.
3. 由于上下文常常可以清楚地表明汉语动词的时态和语态,以及名
词的数,因而汉语无需依靠这种特别的语法上的重复
结构。Because most of the
time it is quite clear from the context what tense
or mood is intended for a verb
and what number
is intended for a noun, the Chinese language does
not bother much with this particular type
of
redundancy in its grammar.
4.
尽管我们目前还无法确定人类的语言是否同宗同源,但是它们都可以追溯到朦胧的史前时期。Although
at present we
have no way of knowing for sure
whether or not human language can be traced back
to the same root, they go
back to the dim
uncertainty of prehistory.

品,其悠久的历史任何其他一种语言的书面作品都无法与之相提并论。Chinese has
an
abundance of ancient writings that reach back

any other
language in the world.
6. 今天所存的最
早的汉字均是甲骨雕文,其中大部分为神谕圣言,内容大都与政治事件和宗教活动有关,或者与战争和
天
气有关。The earliest written forms of Chinese in
existence today are incisions on bone and tortoise
shell.
Most of these inscriptions are
oracular, dealing mostly with political or
religious events, or with weather
or warfare.
7.
让我们深入探讨一下汉语的发展史与语言结构,探讨一下汉语对中华民族的文化和思维所起的影响。Let us
probe into
the history and the structure of
the Chinese language, and into the influence this
language has had on the
cultural and
intellectual development of the Chinese people.
8. 今天的讲座题目是生命的起源与人的未来,不过我想先从信息的本质及其重要性谈起。My
lecture today will focus
on the origin of life
and the future prospect of humans, but I will
begin my lecture with a touch on the nature
as

9. 信息存储
、传输和处理是提高社会整体发展水平的最重要的保障条件之一,也是世界各国高技术竞争的焦点之一。

,破译他将成为疾病的诊断、新药物的研制和新疗法的探索带来
一场革命。The human
genome contains most of the hereditary information

and death
of humankind. Its decoding will bring about a
revolution to the diagnosis of disease, to the
development
of new medicines and to the
e of new therapies.
11.
破译人类遗传密码的重要性不亚于人类登月的“阿波罗计划”。The work to decipher
the human genetic code is no
less important
than the Apollo moon lading program.
12. 请不要误解
我的意思,我并没有说人类基因工程是件好事,我只是说它很可能会在下一个千年里发生,不管我们喜欢
与否,这种趋势是无法改变的。Don’t get me wrong here. I’m not
saying that human genetic engineering is a good
thing, I’m just saying that it is likely to
happen in the next millennium, whether we want it
or not. This
is the trend that we cannot
alter.
13. 人类需要以某种方式提高自己的心理素质,以应付复杂性日益增长的周边世界,
并迎接像太空旅行这样的新挑战。In
a way the human race needs
to improve its mental and physical qualities if it
is to deal with the increasingly
complex world
around it and meet new challenges like space
travel.
14. 蚊子是世界上最危险的害虫。也是人类最古老的宿敌和最致命的杀手。The
mosquito is the most dangerous insect
pest in
the world, and man’s oldest and deadliest killer.
15. 研究表明蚊子产生免疫力的速度远远快于人类发明杀虫剂的速度。Studies show
that it takes a much shorter time
for
mosquitoes to develop resistance to man’s
invention of a new drug than it takes man to
develop the drug.
16. 我们必须在全球范围内展开这场控制虫害的战争。We
must fight a global war to control this mosquito
rampage.
17. 制作筷子这一最简单、最有效的进食工具所用的材料多种多样,如竹子、木
材、漆器、玉石、象牙、塑料、铝、银、
金等都可以用来制作筷子。Chopsticks, the
simplest and most effective eating tool, can be
made of a variety of
materials, such as
bamboo, wood, lacquer, jade, ivory, plastic,
aluminum, silver and gold.
18.
我们中国人用筷子很讲究艺术性,各人有各人的方法,就好似签名一样,不尽一致。The way we
Chinese use chopsticks
is quite artistic and
varies from person to person, similar to the way
people write their signature.
19. 对于那些午餐时只会使用刀
叉的西方人士来说,若想享用一顿真正意义上的中餐,那么花些时间耐心学习用筷技艺是
有好处的。Fo
r Westerners who use only forks and knives for the
meals, spending some time learning to use
chopsticks
with patience can be very rewarding
if they wish to enjoy a real Chinese dinner.
20.
无论做什么事情,光靠蛮力是无济于事的,只要恰到好处,便可以轻松完成任务。Whatever you
do, there is no use
straight force. As long as
you use strength appropriately, you can accomplish
your mission effortlessly.
