2014.06翻译真题【翻译一】为了促进教育公平，中国已经投入360亿元，用于改善农村地区教育设施和加强中西部地区农村义务教育。这些资金用于改善教学设施、购买书籍，使 16万多所中小学收益。资金还用于购置音乐和绘画器材。现在农村和山区的儿童可以与沿海城市的儿童一样上音乐和绘画课。一些为接受更好教育而转往城市上学的学生如今又回到了本地农村学校就读。In order to promote the equality of education, China has invested 36 billion yuan for the improvement of the educational facilities in rural areas and the enhancement of the rural compulsory education in the midwest. The fund is used to modify teaching facilities and to purchase books, benefiting more than 160 thousand primary schools and middle schools. Meanwhile, the fund is used to supplement musical instruments and painting supplies. Nowadays, like the children in coastal cities, those living in rural and mountain areas also have music and painting lessons. As a result, some students, once transferring to other cities for better education, come back to local schools now.【翻译二】中国应该进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发电数的2%。该比例在所有核电国家中居第30位，几乎是最低的。2011年3月日本人核电站事故后，中国的核能开发停了下来，中止审批新的核电站，并开展全国性的核电安全检查。到2012年10月，审批才又谨慎的恢复。 随着技术和安全措施的改进，发生核事故的可能性完全可以降到最低程度。换句话说，核能是可以安全开发和利用的。China should further develop nuclear energy because currently，nuclear power accounts for only 2% of its total generating capacity . Such proportion ranks the thirtieth in all the countries possessing nuclear power, which is almost the last.After Japans nuclear power accident in March 2011, nuclear power development in China was suspended, so was the approval of new nuclear power plants. Also, the national safety check for the nuclear power was carried out. IT was not until October 2012 that the approval was prudently resumed. With the improvement of technology and safety measures, there is little possibility for nuclear accidents to happen. In other words, there wont be any trouble to develop and exploit the nuclear power.【翻译三】中国的教育工作者早就认识到读书对于国家的意义。有些教育工作者2003年就建议设立全民读书日。他们强调，人们应当读好书，尤其是经典著作。通过阅读，人们能更好的学会感恩、有责任心和与人合作，而教育的目的正是要培养这些基本素质。阅读对于中小学生尤为重要，假如他们没有在这个关键时期培养阅读的兴趣，以后要培养成阅读的习惯就很难了。Chinese education workers realized the significance of reading for a nation long time ago. In 2003, some workers suggested that we have a national reading day. They emphasized that people ought to read good books especially the classic ones. Through reading, people can learn better how to be grateful, responsible and cooperative, and the goal of education is to cultivate these basic personalities. Reading is especially important for middle and primary school students; therefore, if they dont nurture the interest of reading at that key period, it will be harder for them to develop a habit to read in the future.翻译练习题【练习一】狮舞(Lion Dance)是中国最广为流传的民间舞蹈之一。狮为百兽之首，在中国传统中，狮子被视为是能带来好运的吉祥物(mascot)。古人将狮子视作是勇敢和力 量的化身，能驱赶邪恶、保护人类。据记载，狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。在唐代(the Tang Dynasty)，狮舞就已经被引入了皇室。 因此，舞狮成为元宵节(the Lantern Festival)和其他节日的习俗，人们以此来祈祷好运、平安和幸福。The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China .The lion is the king of animals. In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck. Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans. The dance has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years. During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty. Therefore, performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness.【练习二】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。InBeijing,therearenumeroushutongs.Thelifeofcommonpeople in hutongs bringsendlesscharmtotheancientcapital,Beijing.The hutong in Beijing isnotonlythelivingenvironmentofcommonpeople, but also a kind ofarchitecture.Usually,thereisacourtyardcomplex inside hutong, withroomssharedby4to10familiesofabout20people.Therefore, life in hutongs isfulloffriendlinessandgenuinehumanity. Nowadays, with rapid socialandeconomicdevelopment,manyhutongsare replaced by new tall buildings.It is hoped that hutongs can be preserved.【练习三】越来越多受英文教育的海外华人父母，已经认识到孩子在掌握不可或缺的英文的同时，也通晓中文的重要性。中国的崛起，让他们充分认识到孩子掌握双语的好处既能增加他们的就业机会，也能让他们接触和熟悉东西方两种不同的文化。曾几何时，他们还非常骄傲地宣称自己只懂英文。现在，他们已开始积极支持孩子学习中文和中国文化，而且还不时走访中国，欣赏壮观的自然风光，认识丰富的文化遗产。An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kid shave a good command of Chinese. Chinas rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit from their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West. At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only. Now, they have begun to give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China, where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage.【练习四】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。Nowadays, more and more universities 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 had 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. 【练习五】假日经济的现象表明：中国消费者的消费观正在发生巨大变化。根据统计数据，中国消费者的消费需求正在从基本生活必需品转向对休闲、舒适和个人发展的需求。同时，中国人的消费观在蓬勃发展的假日经济中正变得成熟。因此产品结构应做相应调整，来适应社会的发展。另一方面，服务质量要改善，以满足人们提高生活质量的要求。The phenomenon of holiday economy shows that Chinese peoples consumption concept is undertaking great changes. According to statistics, the demands of Chinese consumers are shifting from the basic necessities of life to leisure, comfort and personal development. Therefore, the structure of products should be adjusted accordingly to adapt to social development. On the other hand, services should be improved to satisfy peoples demand for an improved quality of life.【练习六】过去几年，中国的房地产(realestate)业经历了前所未有的高速增长。对于那些月薪较低却渴望在大城市拥有一套属于自己的体面、舒适的栖身之所的人来说，高昂的房价是他们无法承受的负担。鉴于这一状况，政府近来采取了一系列的措施来防止房价过快增长，包括提高利率及增加房产税等。目前，这些措施在部分城市已经取得了初步的成效。Inthepastseveralyears,Chinasrealestateindustryhasdeveloped 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 bit city, the high housing price is a heavy burden that then can not afford. For this reason, the government has taken a series of measures to prevent the housing price from rising too fast, including raising interest and increasing taxes on real estate, etc. Presently, these measures have achieved initial effects in some cities. 常用词汇：1.历史文化类元旦New Years Day情人节Valentines Day国际妇女节International Women Day植树节Tree Planting Day愚人节April Fools Day国际劳动日International Labor Day中国青年节 Chinese Youth Day国际儿童节International Childrens Day中国共产党成立纪念日 Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China中国人民解放军建军节Army Day中华人民共和国国庆节National Day中国教师节Teachers Day万圣节Halloween母亲节Mothers Day农历正月初一春节(the Spring Festival)农历正月十五元宵节(Lantern Festival)农历五月初五端午节(the Dragon-Boat Festival)农历七月初七乞巧节(中国情人节）(Double-Seventh Day)农历八月十五中秋节(the Mid-Autumn Festival)农历九月初九重阳节(the Double Ninth Festival)农历腊月初八腊八节(the laba Rice Porridge Festival)春联 Spring Festival couplets年画 New Year pictures剪纸paper-cuts除夕 the eve of the lunar New Year守岁 stay up late on the New Years Eve放爆竹 let off firecrackers拜年 pay a New Year visit团圆饭 family reunion dinner敬酒 propose a toast红包 red packets (cash wrapped up in red paper)舞狮 lion dance舞龙 dragon dance灯笼 lantern灯谜 riddles written on lanterns灯会 exhibit of lanterns禁忌 taboo压岁钱 gift money; money given to children as a lunar new year gift祭祖宗 offer sacrifices to ones ancestors元宵 rice dumpling踩高跷 stilt walking扭秧歌yangge dance扫墓 sweep graves of ones ancestors or loved ones赛龙舟 dragon-boat racing粽子zongzi (sticky rice dumpling wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves)月饼 moon cake赏月 appreciate the glorious full moon赏菊 admire the beauty of chrysanthemum登高 climb mountain孔子 Confucius孟子 Mencius老子 Lao Zi儒学 Confucian School论语 Analects of Confucius发明纸和瓷器 invented paper and porcelain发明火药 invention of gunpowder发明印刷术 block printing was invented科举制 Imperial Examination for recruiting civil servants丝绸之路 Silk Route黄河 Yellow River长江 Yangtze River珠江 Pearl River太湖 Lake Tai鄱阳湖 Lake Poyang洞庭湖 Lake Dongting青藏高原 Tibet Plateau东北平原 Northeast China Plain华北平原 North China Plain长江中下游平原 Plain of Middle and Lower Reaches of Changjiang River南沙群岛Nansha Island京剧 Peking opera昆曲Kunquoper中国画 traditional Chinese painting人物 portrait山水 landscape花鸟 flower and bird草虫 grass and insect泼墨 paint-splashing style写意 impressionistic style工笔 elaborate style毛笔 writing brush书法 calligraphic art书法家 calligraphic artist楷体 formal script/regular script行书 running script宋体 Song-dynasty script工艺品 handwork/handicrafts手工艺品 articles of handcraft art文物 cultural relics/antiques国宝 national treasure人民大会堂 Great Hall of the People故宫博物馆 Imperial Palace Museum长城 Great Wall外滩 the Bund华山Huashan Mountain黄山 Yellow Mountain滇池Dianchi Lake洱海Erhai lake孔庙 Temple of Confucius故居 Former Residence庐山Lushan Mountain少林寺 Shaolin Temple长江三峡 Three Gorges along the Changjiang黄果树瀑布Huangguoshu Waterfalls敦煌莫高窟DunhuangMogao Grottoes大兴安岭 Greater Xingan Mountains小兴安岭 Lesser Xingan Mountains天池 Heavens Pool布达拉宫Potala Palace日月潭 Lake Sun Moon发源地 the birthplace煮 poach/boiled蒸 steamed火锅 chafing dish煲；炖；焖 stewed煎 pan-fried炒 stir-fried炸 deep-fried烘 baked熏 smoked泡辣菜 pickled hot vegetables北京烤鸭 roast Beijing duck炒饭 stir-fried rice油条 deep fried twisted dough stick饺子jiaozi汤圆tangyuan馄饨hundun烧麦shaomai月饼 moon cake烧饼 sesame seed cake小笼包 steamed dumpling with pork红茶 black tea绿茶 green tea花茶 jasmine tea茶道sado/ tea ceremony功夫茶Gongfu tea陈酒 old wine/aged wine烧酒 arrack2. 经济社会发展类小康社会 a well-to-do society人民生活 peoples livelihood生活水平 living standards生活质量 quality of life住房条件 housing conditions文化程度 educational level就业率 employment rate人均收入 average income per capita年平均工资 average annual pay奖金 bonus生活费用 cost of living消费价格指数 consumer price index环境污染指数 environment pollution index衣食住行 food, clothing, sheltering and means of traveling购买力 purchasing power贫困家庭 the needy family贫困地区 poverty-stricken region下岗 be laid off小康 relative affluence安居乐业 live a good life共同富裕 shared prosperity社会保险 social insurance助学金 grant-in-aid赈灾救济金 disaster relief funds人口 population人口分布 population distribution流动人口 transient population城市人口 urban population农业人口 agriculture population出生率 birth rate自然增长率 natural growth rate负增长率 negative growth rate普查 census户口册 household register计划生育 family planning/planned parenthood优生优育 ensure good prenatal and postnatal care自治区 autonomous region民族 ethnic groups少数民族 ethnic minorities/ minority peoples中国共产党 Communist Party of China常用表达：1、经济economicglobalization（经济全球化）sustainabledevelopment（可持续发展）unfaircompetition（不正当竞争）crackdownonfakecommodities（打假）booming（繁荣的）fiercecompetition（激烈竞争）creditcrisis（信用危机）stabilizeprices（稳定物价）promotefundamentalshifts
