TEM8-Translation,Mar.,2011,SectionAChinesetoEnglish,有一点我发现和我生意上的成功有很大关系，这就是我来到美国之前所接受的价值观。这些价值观和孔子宣扬的一些思想有很多相同之处。孔子的思想强调的是中庸适度。但是我尊重孔子的思想，并不是要把他的思想搬到现代社会。因为除了适度外还有一些东西对成功是至关重要的，这就是耐心、应变、果断、信心、创新思维、社会责任，最后还有运气。重要的是，这些因素相辅相成，不可缺一。虽然它们有的是有矛盾的，如耐心和果断经常矛盾，但很难想象我的任何决定中可以离开得了它们其中一个。,SectionBEnglishtoChinese(I),Ihaveneverhadmuchpatiencewiththewriterswhoclaimfromthereaderanefforttounderstandtheirmeaning.Youhaveonlytogotothegreatphilosopherstoseethatitispossibletoexpresswithluciditythemostsubtlereflections.Onecauseofobscurityisthatmanywritersthink,notbefore,butastheywrite.Thepenoriginatesthethought.Thedisadvantagesofthis,andindeeditisadangeragainstwhichtheauthormustbealwaysonhisguard,isthatthereisasortofmagicinthewrittenword.Theideaacquiressubstancebytakingonavisiblenature,andthenstandsinthewayofitsownclarification.Butthissortofobscuritymergesveryeasilyintothewillful.(tobecontinued),SectionB(II),Somewriterswhodonotthinkclearlyareinclinedtosupposethattheirthoughtshaveasignificancegreaterthanatfirstsightappears.Itisflatteringtobelievethattheyaretooprofoundtobeexpressedsoclearlythatallwhorunmayread,andverynaturallyitdoesnotoccurtosuchwritersthatthefaultiswiththeirownmindswhichhavenotthefacultyofprecisereflection.,KeytoSectionA(I),OnethingIhavediscoveredisthatattitudesandvaluesthatIacquiredinChinalongbeforecametotheUnitedStateshavehadagreatbearingonthesuccessinmybusiness.ThesevalueshavemuchincommonwithsomeofthevirtuesofConfucianism,theChinesephilosophythatstressedmoderation.However,althoughIrespectthespiritofConfucianism,IhavenottriedtoadaptthisancientChinesephilosophytomodernsociety.,KeytoSectionA(II),Forbesidesmoderation,otherthingsIhavefoundtobeessentialtosuccessarepatience,adaptability,decisiveness,confidence,unconventionalthinking,socialresponsibility,andlastluck.Theimportanceoftheseattributesisintheirinteraction.Someofthemareantitheticaltootherspatiencewilloftencollidewithdecisiveness,forinstanceandyetitishardtothinkofanyofmydecisionsinwhichtheydidnotplayarole.,KeytoSectionB,有些作家，读者要费力气才能看懂他们的意思，我对这样的作家一向是没有多少耐心的。你只要看一看那些大哲学家的著作就会明白，即使是最细腻的思想也是可以表达得很清楚的。写不清楚的一个原因是许多作家不是想好了再写，而是边写边想。思想从运笔中产生。这有一种缺点，甚至是作家必须时刻警惕的危险，既文字有一种魔力。一个思想有了看得见的形状后，变成了具体的东西，它会妨碍作者把它进一步说清楚。不过，这种不清楚很容易与作者故意造成的不清楚混在一起。有些作家思路不清，往往认为自己的思想并不像乍一看那么肤浅，而是具有深刻的含义。认为自己的思想深奥，不可能表达得那么清楚，让什么人都能理解，这是一种虚荣的念头。这样的作家当然不会想到，问题还是出在自己脑子缺乏精确思考的能力。,CommentonSectionA,I.Wording1.SubstitutionofsynonymsChinese:morerepetitionEnglish:morediverse,CommentonSectionA,eg:这些价值观和孔子宣扬的一些思想有很多相同之处。孔子的思想强调的是中庸适度。但是我尊重孔子的思想，并不是要把他的思想搬到现代社会。ThesevalueshavemuchincommonwithsomeofthevirtuesofConfucianism,theChinesephilosophythatstressedmoderation.However,althoughIrespectthespiritofConfucianism,IhavenottriedtoadaptthisancientChinesephilosophytomodernsociety.Analysis:Independently,theyarenotrealsynonyms;whileinthiscontextandcollocatedwith“Confucianism”,theymeanthesame.PS:Thedifferentiationofsynonymsabouttheshiftsofmeaningisquitecrucialinproperchoiceofwords.,CommentonSectionA,2.4-characterphrasesChinese:morerhetoricalEnglish:moreconciseSolution:(1)theconnotation(2)theimagery(3)thestructure,CommentonSectionA,Eg:重要的是，这些因素相辅相成，不可缺一。Theimportanceoftheseattributesisintheirinteraction.,CommentonSectionA,II.Sentencepattern1.CombinationChinese:bamboo-like;moreshortsentencesEnglish:tree-like;Logicallyconnectedsentencesarecombinedmoreclosely.,CommentonSectionA,Eg:这些价值观和孔子宣扬的一些思想有很多相同之处。孔子的思想强调的是中庸适度。ThesevalueshavemuchincommonwithsomeofthevirtuesofConfucianism,theChinesephilosophythatstressedmoderation.Analysis:Conjunctions,attributiveclauses,appositions,parentheses,etc.areallthepossiblesolutions.,CommentonSectionA,Eg:因为除了适度外还有一些东西对成功是至关重要的，这就是耐心、应变、果断、信心、创新思维、社会责任，最后还有运气。Forbesidesmoderation,otherthingsIhavefoundtobeessentialtosuccessarepatience,adaptability,decisiveness,confidence,unconventionalthinking,socialresponsibility,andlastluck.,CommentonSectionB,I.Wording1.Negationeg:Onecauseofobscurityisthatmanywritersthink,notbefore,butastheywrite.写不清楚的一个原因是许多作家不是想好了再写，而是边写边想。,CommentonSectionB,2.Abstractwords-accurateunderstandingbythecontext,esp.relevantwords;-shiftfromtheabstracttotheconcrete;,CommentonSectionB,Eg:Theideaacquiressubstancebytakingonavisiblenature,andthenstandsinthewayofitsownclarification.一个思想有了看得见的形状后，变成了具体的东西，它会妨碍作者把它进一步说清楚。,CommentonSectionB,3.PronounChinese:torepeatthenounstoavoidambiguity;English:morepronouns,CommentonSectionB,Eg:Theideaacquiressubstancebytakingonavisiblenature,andthenstandsinthewayofitsownclarification.Version1:一个思想有了看得见的形状后，变成了具体的东西，它会妨碍作者把它进一步说清楚。Version2:一种思想如果付诸于有形，成为文字，即变得具体，而具体的文字会妨碍作者进一步阐释这一思想。,CommentonSectionB,II.Sentencepattern1.AdjustmentofwordorderEnglish:feelings(Subjective)/facts(Objective)Chinese:facts(Objective)/feelings(Subjective),CommentonSectionB,Eg:Ihaveneverhadmuchpatiencewiththewriterswhoclaimfromthereaderanefforttounderstandtheirmeaning.有些作家，读者要费力气才能看懂他们的意思，我对这样的作家一向是没有多少耐心的。,CommentonSectionB,2.Involvedsentencesgrammaticalanalysis;-division,CommentonSectionB,Eg1:Thedisadvantagesofthis,andindeeditisadangeragainstwhichtheauthormustbealwaysonh
