Passage 4

中國是一個疆域遼闊、人口眾多的多民族的統(tǒng)一國家。它立國的地理環(huán)境對中國文化的形成發(fā)展起到了至關(guān)重要的作用。

Multi-nationalmulti-ethnic, multi-racial united unified unitary unification underlying//underpinning the founding of the country

Ethnic group nationality ethnic minority

China is a multi-ethnic unified//unitary country with a vast territory and a large population, of which geographic surrounding//environment has played a crucial role in the formation and development of Chinese//its culture.affiliated attached high school

中國位于東亞大陸，處于一個相對隔絕封閉的地理環(huán)境中：北部是遼闊的大漠與草原，西部是浩瀚的戈壁沙漠和青藏高原，西南部是云貴山地和莽莽雨林，東部和東南部的平原與丘陵地帶則面向大洋。

Be located be situated=lie in enclosed isolatedboundless

Located//Situated in the eastern Asian continent, it lies in a relatively enclosed setting//environment. In the north are vast deserts and grasslands, in the west endless//boundless Gobi deserts and Qinghai-Tibetan Plateaus, in the south-west Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains and luxuriant//dense rain-forests, and in the east and south-east plains and hilly lands facing the oceans.

face sth face the music be faced with

這種相對封閉的地理環(huán)境為中國古代文化相對獨(dú)立的發(fā)展提供了自然條件。 This distinctive environment provided (favorable) natural conditions for the relatively separate//independent development of ancient Chinese culture.

所以在相當(dāng)長的一段時間里，中國文化與外來文化的武力沖撞較少。這對中國文化形成一個歷史悠久又自成體系，具有鮮明的地域特征且具有一定的穩(wěn)定性的文化系統(tǒng)，有著重要的作用。

Therefore, there were less//relatively few force//armed conflicts among the Chinese culture and (the) alien ones for a fairly long period of time, which exerted important impacts on the constitution of a time-honored and self-containing cultural system with striking regional features and definite stability in the Chinese culture.

中國內(nèi)部的地理環(huán)境西高東低，東西走向的幾條大河較為均勻地分布于其間，構(gòu)成了遼河、黃河、長江、珠江幾個流域。

The (inner) terrain of China is high in the west and low in the east. Several west-east running large rivers are evenly distributed, forming//creating the valleys of the Liaohe River, the Yellow River, the Changjiang River, and the Pearl River.heart-throb 流域內(nèi)縱橫其間的支流為農(nóng)業(yè)的發(fā)展和交通提供了有利的自然條件，也促成了區(qū)域文化的發(fā)展。

The criss-crossing branches//tributaries inside the valleys not only provide favorable natural conditions for agricultural development and convenient transportation, but facilitate the progress of regional cultures as well.

風(fēng)格多樣各異的區(qū)域文化融合為一體，豐富了中國文化的內(nèi)涵。但又產(chǎn)生了區(qū)域文化間幾次的沖突，這里面既有民族間的，也有地方政權(quán)間的，但最終是復(fù)歸于文化的融合和政治的一統(tǒng)。

In their merging into a whole, regional cultures with//of various styles eiched the

(connotation//content of)Chinese culture, yet brought about//caused several conflicts, among which some occurred between different ethnic groups, while others between local regimes. In any case, they eventually reverted to cultural integration and political unity/unification.

姜太公釣魚 angle//fish>>>>The///A legend of Jiang Taigong

民間有句俗話，叫做“姜太公釣魚－－愿者上鉤”。這句話來自于一段歷史故事。

A folk saying goes that "When Jiang Taigong angles//fishes, only the willing one comes to be caught (by the hookless rod)", which originates from a historical story. style name//courtesy name

據(jù)史料記載：姜太公名叫姜尚，字子牙，東海(今山東省日照市東)人。因其始封于呂，故以封地為姓，又稱呂尚。

族望 courtesy name

According to the historical records, Jiang Taigong, also named Jiang Shang, with style name Ziya, was born in Donghai(the present eastern Rizhao City, Shandong Province). As his ancestor had been granted with the land Lv, he once chose Lv as his surname and also came to be known as Lv Shang.

商紂王時，姜尚曾任朝廷大夫。因目睹紂王昏庸殘暴，百姓民不聊生，遂辭官隱居于渭水之濱。

During the reign of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, Jiang Shang held the post as a senior official in court. Witnessing the fatuity and cruelty of the King and the dire poverty of the common people///the King's fatuity and cruelty and the common people's dire poverty, however, he resigned to live in seclusion near/on the bank of the river Wei// the Weishui River

當(dāng)時位于西部的諸侯國周國國力強(qiáng)盛，西伯姬昌(即周文王)禮賢下士，仁義治國，老百姓安居樂業(yè)。

At that time, Zhou, a vassal state in the west, was powerful under the merciful//benevolent administration//ruling//governance of its duke Ji Chang(later known as King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty). He was courteous to the wise and condescending to scholars // He was considerate and kind to men of talent, and everyone in the state lived a happy and harmonious life.

但長期以來，姬昌一直未能遇到一位賢德的輔佐。

But for a long time, he had failed//had been unable to obtain the assistance of a wise man.

一天，姬昌乘車去渭水北岸打獵。在渭水邊上，姬昌看見一個老者在岸邊垂釣，大隊人馬走過，老者充耳不聞，仍然是靜靜地釣魚。

One day, Ji Chang went hunting on the northern bank of the river, where he found an old man angling. When the mass (groups) of men and horses passed by, the old man still continued his angling quietly without being disturbed.////To the by-passing of the mass (groups) of men and horses, the old man turned a deaf ear and still continued his angling quietly without being disturbed.

這位老者正是姜尚，傳說當(dāng)時已經(jīng)70歲了。

This old man was nobody but Jiang Shang, who was rumored/said to be 70 years old then//to be at his 70 then.

姬昌覺得奇怪，就下車來到老者跟前，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)老者釣魚的魚鉤是直的，根本就釣不上魚來。

Puzzled, Ji Chang got off his carriage and went towards to him, only to find that the angling rod of the old man was hookless//the so-called hook of the old man was straight, (which was) impossible to catch any fish.

姬昌知道老者是一位奇人，就跟他聊了起來。

He knew that the old man was a genius and began chatting up with him.

經(jīng)過一番談話，姬昌發(fā)現(xiàn)這位老者正是自己要找的人，于是高興地說：“我祖父在世的時候曾對我說過：?將來會有一奇人幫助你把周族興盛起來。?您正是我要找的人。我的祖父盼望您已經(jīng)很久了�！� After their conversation, Ji Chang realized that the old man was the very person he had been searching for. Then he said in delight, " My grandfather told me when he was still alive, 'A genius will help you make our Zhou clan powerful and prosperous someday.' You are the very person I'm

looking for. My grandfather was expecting you for a long time."

因此古代文獻(xiàn)中又稱姜尚為“太公望”或“姜太公”。

So in ancient documents, Jiang Shang was also called Taigong the Expected or Jiang Taigong.

于是，姜尚跟隨姬昌來到西周，被封為國師。他輔佐西伯推行新政，西周愈加強(qiáng)盛，

Shortly after that///Later, Jiang Shang followed Ji Chang to the state Zhou, where he was conferred//titled as the state mentor. He assisted the duke to carry out reforms, making the state more and more powerful.

周邊諸侯國的人民也都紛紛歸順西周，三分天下西周占有了二分。

As a result, people of the neighboring vassal states came to convert themselves to//as the subjects of the state Zhou one after another, which enabled Zhou to occupy two thirds territory of the Shang Dynasty.

西伯去世后，其子姬發(fā)(即周武王)繼位，仍封姜尚為國師，尊稱尚父。Succeed to the throne/dukedom/chairmanship/chef

After the death of Ji Chang, Ji Fa, a son of the duke, succeeded to the dukedom. He also conferred Jiang Shang as the state mentor and respectfully addressed him as Father Shang///Shang the Father.

在姜尚的輔助下，姬發(fā)在盟津大會諸侯，隨后興兵伐紂，商紂王自焚而死.

Under///With his assistance, Ji Fa assembled the dukes of the other vassal states in Mengjin before launching wars against the King, who was forced to commit suicide by self-burning (to death)///was forced to burn himself to death..

商朝滅亡。姬發(fā)建立了周朝，史稱周武王，追封其父西伯姬昌為周文王。周朝建立以后，姜尚被封到齊地，建都營丘(今山東省淄博市臨淄區(qū)齊陵鎮(zhèn)附近)，齊國后來成為諸侯國中的強(qiáng)國。

After the downfall of the Shang Dynasty, Ji Fa established the Zhou Dynasty and was known as King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty in history. He honored his father Ji Chang with post-humous title of King Wen and granted Jiang Shang with the land Qi, of which capital was (in) Yingqiu(near the present Qiling Town, Linzi District, Zibo City, Shangdong Province). Later, Qi became a power among the vassal states.

金磚國家BRICS//BRIC Countries//BRICS Countries

2001年，美國高盛公司首席經(jīng)濟(jì)師吉姆?奧尼爾（Jim O'Neil）首次提出“金磚四國”這一概念，來自這四個國家的英文國名開頭字母所組成的詞BRIC，指巴西（Brazil）、俄羅斯（Russia）、印度（India）和中國（China），其發(fā)音類似英文的“磚塊”（brick）一詞。

In 2001, Jim O'Neil, (a/the)chief economist of Goldman Sachs//Goldman Sachs in the US, put forward for the first time the concept of BRIC, which was an acronym of Brazil, Russia, India, and China and whose pronunciation is similar to that of the English word "brick".

.......put forward for the first time the concept of BRIC, which was an acronym of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. As its pronunciation is similar to that of the English word "brick", it was translated/rendered into Chinese as jinzhuan guojia(金磚國家literally golden brick countries). 公知=公豬

由于歷史、政治和經(jīng)濟(jì)上的原因，全世界講英語、用英語的人為數(shù)最多。但是英語之所以能在全球流行，除了上述原因之外，也和英語自身的一些特性和特點(diǎn)不無相關(guān)。其中最重要的一點(diǎn)就是英語特別容易接受和適應(yīng)—英語中的詞匯吸收了全世界幾乎所有主要語言的材料。（113字）

不同的篇章、體裁在直譯與意譯的趨向程度上往往有所不同。一般來說，文獻(xiàn)類和新聞報道的翻譯多采用直譯，因為翻譯這類文獻(xiàn)關(guān)鍵在于譯文的準(zhǔn)確性；而對詩歌散文、戲劇電影、小說傳記等以情動人的作品，翻譯時應(yīng)多采用意譯，以充分再現(xiàn)原文的意境情趣。（115字）

1）直譯與意譯literal translation and free translation 4）文獻(xiàn)literatures，documents

2）不同程度地to some extent 5）關(guān)鍵在于the crux lies in

3）多采用be preferable to（something）

6）以情動人的作品emotional works

7）原文的意境情趣the right mood and flavor of the original works

Different discourses or styles tend to focus on different stresses so，to some extent，need different translating ways. Generally speaking，literal translation is preferable to free translation in translating literatures，for the crux of these literatures lies in accura-cy.

據(jù)研究人員統(tǒng)計，接下來的幾十年，歐洲人口將持續(xù)減少。目前歐盟國家的婦女平均生1.5個孩子，而為了保持人口替代率，每個婦女至少要生兩個孩子。即便從現(xiàn)在開始婦女增加生育數(shù)量，人口減少的趨勢仍將持續(xù)幾十年，因為

1）持續(xù)減少continue to decline 3）人口減少的趨勢the tendency to population decline

2）替代率replacement rate

According to researchers' estimate，Europe's population will continue to decline for decades. At present 1 ．5 babies are born for every European Union woman，when two births are required for the population“replacement rate”to be maintained. Even if women started to have more children again，the tendency to population decline would continue for decades，as there will be fewer parents in the next generation than in this one.

在從前的農(nóng)業(yè)社會里，中國人最重要的節(jié)日就是過年。對過去的一年來說，這是結(jié)束；對未來的一年來說，這是開始。一進(jìn)入臘月，街頭巷尾就充滿了過年的氣氛，這種氣氛要持續(xù)一個半月之久。大家通過各種游樂節(jié)目來調(diào)劑一年來的辛勞，在游樂中流露著一種樂觀進(jìn)取的精神。過年時，每家門上都貼上了春聯(lián)，耀眼的紅紙給人們帶來了喜氣，優(yōu)美的字句提供了勉勵。

上海是一座朝氣蓬勃、充滿活力、多姿多彩的國際化大都市。改革開放以來，上海變化之大令世人矚目。經(jīng)濟(jì)高速發(fā)展、社會秩序穩(wěn)定、人們安居樂業(yè)，呈現(xiàn)出一片繁華景象。今天，盡管上海色彩斑斕的過去還值得留戀和回味，但城市日新月異的面貌卻使越來越多的人折服。浦西展示了上海的輝煌歲月，浦東則展現(xiàn)了上海的美好前景。上海就像一輪紅日，光芒四射，鮮艷奪目。

Puxi represents Shanghai’s splendid past, while Pudong unfolds its bright future. Like a rising sun, Shanghai is shining strikingly with great brilliance.

古時候的讀書人，閑暇時間以琴棋書畫自娛自樂。在中國人看來，藝術(shù)品的好壞反映了作者人格的高低。因此，彈琴、下棋、書法和繪畫，都代表了一個人的修養(yǎng)。彈琴不是要做音樂家，而是進(jìn)入一個遼闊的世界，凈化自己的心靈。下棋不是為了勝負(fù)，而是磨練耐性，使人目光眼大。書法不僅要把字寫得漂亮，也是為了陶冶情操。繪畫則是通過簡單的線條，展現(xiàn)自己想象的世界。

In ancient times, scholars enjoyed themselvesby music, chess, calligraphy and painting at their leisure/in their spare time. In the eyes of Chinese people, the quality of artwork is a reflection of the character of its creator. Therefore, playing music, playing chess, practicing calligraphy and painting show one’s culture. By playing music, one does not aim to be a musician but to broaden his horizons and purify his soul. By playing chess, one does not aim to win but to test his patience and sharpen his foresight. By practicing calligraphy, one aims not only to write beautifully but also to cultivate his mind. By painting, one creates his imaginary world with simple lines.

All family members, old and young, gather together to enjoy the happiness of the family reunion.

今天，中國的剪紙主要用于裝飾。在中國人看來，貼在門上的紅色剪紙能夠給全家?guī)�來吉祥幸福。在中國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日里，尤其是春節(jié)期間，剪紙尤為常見。剪紙可以作為禮物送給親朋好友。在中國的傳統(tǒng)文化里，剪紙可以反映出生活中的各個方面，如吉祥如意、健康長壽和五谷豐登。春節(jié)期間，“�！弊纸�(jīng)常倒貼在門上，表達(dá)人們對“福到”的祝福。 Today, Chinese paper-cut is mainly used for decoration.

中華文明歷來注重社會和諧，強(qiáng)調(diào)團(tuán)結(jié)互助。中國人早就提出了“和為貴”的思想，追求天人和諧、人際和諧和身心和諧。今天，中國要構(gòu)建和諧社會，就是要建設(shè)一個民主法治、公平正義、誠信友愛、充滿活力、安定有序、人與自然和諧相處的社會，實(shí)現(xiàn)物質(zhì)和精神、民主和法治、公平和效率、活力和秩序的統(tǒng)一。中國人民把民族團(tuán)結(jié)作為自己的職責(zé)，把國家主權(quán)和領(lǐng)土完整作為自己至高無上的使命。

Chinese civilization has always attached great importance to social harmony, unity and mutual assistance. Chinese people, who proposed the idea of “harmony as the most precious” in the early days, strive for harmony between man and nature, among people and between man’s body and soul. Today, it is a harmonious society of democracy and rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and fraternity, vitality and stability, order and harmony between man and nature that China is trying to build , which achieves unity between material and culture, democracy and rule of law, fairness and efficiency as well as vitality and order. Chinese people regard ethnical unity as their responsibility and national sovereignty and territorial integrity as their supreme mission.

正月十五元宵節(jié)是中華民族的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，也是春節(jié)之后的第一個重要節(jié)日，象征著和睦團(tuán)圓。這是一年中第一個月圓之夜，標(biāo)志著大地回春。按照中國民俗，在這皓月當(dāng)空的夜晚，人們要點(diǎn)起彩燈萬盞以示慶賀。中國幅員遼闊、歷史悠久，元宵節(jié)的習(xí)俗全國各地也不盡相同。其中，吃元宵、賞花燈和猜燈謎是元宵節(jié)最重要的民間習(xí)俗。

The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, also the first major one after the Spring Festival, symbolizing harmony and unity. It is the first full moon night of the lunar year, marking the return of spring. According to the Chinese folk custom, people light thousands of colorful lanterns on this moon-lit night to celebrate the festival. Because of its vast territory and long history, customs of the Lantern Festival vary in different areas across the country, among which eating yuanxiao (sweet sticky rice dumplings), appreciating lanterns and guessing lantern riddles are the most important folk customs.

中國傳統(tǒng)文化博大精深、源遠(yuǎn)流長。早在兩千多年前，就產(chǎn)生了以孔孟為代表的儒家學(xué)說和以老莊為代表的道家學(xué)說。從孔夫子到孫中山，中國傳統(tǒng)文化有很多珍貴的思想。比如，強(qiáng)調(diào)仁愛、強(qiáng)調(diào)集體利益、強(qiáng)調(diào)天下為公，特別是強(qiáng)調(diào)吃苦耐勞、尊師重教的傳統(tǒng)美德。所有這些，都對家庭、社會和國家起到了巨大的維系和調(diào)節(jié)作用。

Traditional Chinese culture, extensive and profound, enjoys a long history. As early as 2000 years ago, there emerged Confucianism founded by Confucius and Mencius, and Taoism founded by Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu. From Confucius to Sun Yat-sen, traditional Chinese culture presents many precious ideas. For example, it stresses kindness and love, the interests of the community, the idea of Justice for All in the World, and especially the traditional virtues such as diligence and endurance, respecting teachers and valuing education. All these have played a great role in binding and regulating families, the society and the country.

中國教育改革的當(dāng)務(wù)之急是要改進(jìn)現(xiàn)有課程設(shè)置和考試辦法，不要讓孩子只知道死讀書。教育改革的關(guān)鍵在于使全社會認(rèn)識到中、小學(xué)教育的目的不只是讓學(xué)生掌握必要的知識，更應(yīng)該提高學(xué)生整體素質(zhì)，特別是讓他們對人生意義和社會責(zé)任這些根本性的問題要有比較深入的思考。學(xué)校要選擇合適的方式引導(dǎo)學(xué)生形成正確的世界觀。如果學(xué)校只強(qiáng)調(diào)知識教育而忽視了人生課程的引導(dǎo)，那么培養(yǎng)出來的只是一批文字或者數(shù)字機(jī)器。

The top priority in the reform of the education system should be given to the improvement in the curriculum and testing system so that the future generation will not study mechanically.The key to the reform of the education lies in arousing social awareness that primary and secondary education should aim not only to offer basic knowledge to students but also to improve their overall quality, especially to inspire them to ponder over some fundamental issues like the meaning of life and social responsibility. Schools should guide students in an appropriate way so that they can form a proper world view. If schools put undue emphasis on imparting knowledge while neglect the guidance on students’ life, they will produce nothing but machines only capable of memorizing words and numbers.

科教興國戰(zhàn)略是我國的一項基本國策。科技進(jìn)步是經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的決定性因素，發(fā)展教育又是科技進(jìn)步的基礎(chǔ)。全球范圍內(nèi)日趨激烈的經(jīng)濟(jì)競爭，歸根結(jié)底是科技和人才的競爭�？平坦ぷ鞯母�本任務(wù)是提高全民族的思想道德素質(zhì)、科學(xué)文化素質(zhì)和創(chuàng)新能力。大力發(fā)展教育和科技事業(yè)是我國現(xiàn)代化事業(yè)進(jìn)一步發(fā)展的需要，同時也是適應(yīng)世界科技革命和全球經(jīng)濟(jì)競爭的需要。

The strategy of developing the country by relying on science and education is one of China’s basic state policies. Scientific and technological progress is a decisive factor in economic development, and educational development is the foundation of scientific and technological progress. The increasingly fierce economic competition across the world is, in the final analysis, the competition in science and technology and the competition for talents. The fundamental task of our work in science and education is to elevate the ideological and moral standards, the scientific and cultural level of the entire nation and its creative capabilities. The mission of vigorously developing education, science and technology is necessary for furthering China’s modernization drive and at the same time, for meeting the requirements of the world’s scientific and technological revolution and those of global economic competition.
