新题型六级翻译练习(1)四合院（Siheyuan）是中国传统民居中最重要的形式。它数量多、分布广，并且在汉族、满族、白族以及其他少数民族中十分流行。大多数房屋采用木质框架。主屋建在南北走向的轴线上，两个厢房则位于四合院的两侧。家庭中的长者住在主屋里，而两翼则是年轻一代的卧室。妇女住在内院。客人和男仆住在外院。这种分不符合封建礼制（feudalregulations）。四合院遍布全国的城乡，但由于各地自然条件和生活方式各有不同，因此发展出各自的特征。北京的四合院式最具代表性的。SiheyuanisthemostimportantformofChinesetraditionalresidentialhouse.Itisgreatinnumberandwideindistribution,popularamongtheHan,Manchu,Bai,andsomeofotherminoritygroups.Mostofthehousesareofwoodframework.Theprincipalroomisbuiltonthesouth-northaxis,andtwowingroomsarelocatedonbothsidesofit.Thefamilyeldersliveintheprincipalroomandwingsarethebedroomsfortheyoungergenerations.Womenliveintheinneryard.Guestsandmaleservantsliveintheouteryard.Thisdistributionisinaccordancewiththefeudalregulations.SiheyuanspreadsovertownsandvillagesthroughoutChina,buteachdevelopeditsowncharacteristicsasaresultofrespectivenaturalconditionsanddifferentwayoflife.SiheyuaninBeijingisthemostrepresentative.风水（Fengshui）是中国建筑中的一个特殊传统，是古人对空间的布置与安排方法，其目的是为了实现建筑与环境的和谐共存。风水的字面意思就是“风和水”。在古代，风水通常将从选址、设计、建筑直到内部和外部装修的整个过程联系在一起。它将天、地、人三者融为一体，并且在所选的地址、方位、自然法则以及人类命运之间寻求和谐。它反对人对自然的破坏，而是强调人与环境的共处，这种状态被认为是完美的、神秘的。Fengshui,aspecialChinesetraditioninarchitecture,istheancientChinesepracticeofplacementandarrangementofspacetoachievecoexistenceinharmonywiththeenvironment.Fengshuiliterallytranslatesas“wind-water”.Fengshuiusuallylinksthewholeprocessfromsiteselection,designing,constructionandinteriorandexteriordecorationinancienttimes.ItcombinesthetrinityoftheHeaven,theEarthandhumans,andseeksharmonybetweenselectedsite,orientation,naturaldoctrineandhumanfate.Itrepulseshumandestructionofnatureandstressescohabitationwiththeenvironment,whichisregardedasperfectandoccult.舞龙（Dragondance）是中国文化中一种传统的舞蹈与表演形式。它起源于汉朝并且有信仰并尊敬龙的中国人所开创。人们认为舞龙一开始是农耕文化的组成部分，起初也是治病和防病的一种方法。舞龙在宋朝（SongDynasty）就已经成为一项流行的活动。舞龙是中国文化和传统的重要组成部分，已经传遍了中国乃至全世界，而且已经成为中国体育活动中的一种特殊的艺术表演。它象征着在来年为世界上所有人带来好运和兴旺。DragondanceisaformoftraditionaldanceandperformanceinChineseculture.ItoriginatedduringtheHanDynastyandwasstartedbytheChinesewhohadshowngreatbeliefandrespecttowardsthedragon.Itisbelievedtohavebegunaspartofthefarmingandharvestculture,alsowithoriginsasamethodofhealingandpreventingsickness.ThedragondancewasalreadyapopulareventduringtheSongDynasty.DragondanceisanimportantpartoftheChinesecultureandtradition.IthasspreadthroughoutChinaandtothewholeworldandbecomeaspecialperformanceofartsintheChinesephysicalactivities.Itsymbolizesgoodluckandprosperityintheyeartocomeforallthehumanbeingsfortheearth.中国结(TheChineseKnot)是一种古老的艺术形式。人们发现，绳结可以追溯到10万年前。中国人不仅用绳结来固定、包裹、狩猎、捕鱼，还用来记录事件，而且有些绳结纯粹起装饰作用。中国结具有文化内涵（culturalconnotation）。由于结在汉语中的发音与“吉”相近，吉的意思为“福、禄、寿、喜、财、安、康”，这是中国人永恒的追求，因此有些中国结表达出人们的各种愿望。例如：新婚夫妇的房间通常用一个盘长结（Pan-changKnot）来装饰，象征着永恒的爱情。TheChineseKnotisanancientartformandtheartifactscouldbefoundasfarbackas100000yearsago.Chinesepeopleusedknotsformorethanjustfastening,wrapping,hunting,fishing.Knotswerealsousedtorecordevents,andsomeknotshadpurelyornamentalfunctions.TheChineseKnothasculturalconnotations.Sinceknotispronouncedas“jie”inChinesesimilarwiththatof“Ji”,whichmeansblessing,goodsalary,longevity,happiness,fortune,safetyandhealthandistheeverlastingpursuitofChinesepeople,someChineseKnotsexpresspeoplesvarioushopes.Forexample,theroomofnewlywedsisusuallydecoratedwithaPan-ChangKnottosymbolizeeternallove.现代中国人的姓名通常由姓（家庭姓氏）和名（个人所起的名字）组成，并且姓在前，名在后。因此，王小平被称为王先生，个人的名字为小平。大事，在中国古代，起名非常复杂。一个人通常有好几个名字，包括姓、氏、名、字，每一个都表达不同的意思。姓和氏演变为现在的姓，名和字则演变为现在的名。现在人们通常用姓氏来指一个人的姓，用名字来指一个人所起的名。对中国古代文献的研究表明，“姓”最初指不同的母系部落（matriarchaltribes）的名字，和人们居住地也有某些关系。研究表明，“姓”出现于母系社会时期，大约四千至五千年之前。AmodernChineseusuallyhasasurname(“familyname”)orxingandagivenname(“firstname”),orming(ormingzi),alwaysintharorder.ThusWangXiaopingisMr.WangwithpersonalnameXiaoping.InancientChina,however,namingwasverycomplicatedandonepersonusuallyhadseveralnames,andnaminginvolvedxing,shi,mingandzi.Eachofthesefourwordsmeantadifferentthing.Xingandshitogetherformedtodayssurname,andmingandzitodaysgivenname.today,peopleusexingshitorefertoapersonssurname,mingzitorefertoonesgivenname.studyofancientChinesedocumentsshowsthatxingoriginallyreferredtothenamesofdifferentmatriarchaltribes.Italsohadsomethingtodowiththeplacewherepeoplelived.Researchesshowthatxingcameintobeingduringthematrilinealsocietyperiod,aroundfourtofivethousandyearsago.乒乓球室意向强调耐力和反应能力（reflexes）的运动，尽管乒乓球本身比较小，运动强度不大。不论男女老少都可以同台公平竞争。由于是室内运动，所以可以常年举行比赛或进行练习。自此乒乓球运动诞生以来，它已经经历了巨大的演变。比赛规则经过了很多次的修改，并且随着技术的进步和打球方式的改变，运动器材也发生了变化。这些改良（refinement）只是证明了乒乓球运动已经发展为意向非常完美的运动，可以与我们所崇尚的（withreverence）的任何一种经典运动相媲美。Despiteitssmallsizeandmoderateintensity,ping-pongisasportthatemphasizesenduranceandreflexes.Peopleofallagesandgenderscanplayitonanequalground.Thesportisplayedindoors,soyear-roundcompetitionandpracticearepossible.Ping-ponghasundergoneenormousevolutionsinceitcameintobeing,whichhasexperiencedmanyrevisionsofrulesandseenanimprovementofequipmentastechnologyandplayingstyleschanged.Suchrefinementonlyservesasevidencethatping-pongisindeedafull-fledgedsport,comparabletoanyoftheotherclassicswebeholdwithreverence.儒家思想是中国传统文化的基石。它出现在大约2500年前的春秋时期（theSpringandAutumnPeriod）,是建立在夏、商、周的传统文化之上，并由孔子创立的完整观念体系（ideologicalsystem）。儒家思想博大精深，涵盖了人性、政治、法律、教育、哲学、道德各个领域。如家文化以人本哲学（humanisticphilosophy）为依托，这表现在它对人类个体的尊敬、关注和热爱。总而言之，儒家文化是世界文化遗产的重要组成部分，是东方文化的代表，恶意是中国文化传统的中流砥柱。ConfucianismisthecornerstoneoftraditionalChineseculture.Foundedabout2500yearsagointheSpringandAutumnPeriod,ConfucianismisacompleteideologicalsystemcreatedbyConfucius,basedonthetraditionalcultureoftheXia,ShangandZhouDynasty.Itisextensiveandprofound,coveringthefieldsofhumanity,politics,law,education,philosophyandethics.Confucianculturerestsonhumanisticphilosophy,whichisshowninitsrespect,attentiontoandloveofhumanindividuals.Inbelief,Confuciancultureisanimportantcomponentofworldculturalheritage,amajorrepresentativeoforientalculture,andthedominantfacetofChineseculturaltradition.京剧被称为中国的国粹（nationalopera），起源于18世纪晚期，是将音乐、舞蹈、艺术和杂技（acrobatics）综合于一体的戏曲。在中国，京剧是所以戏曲中最有影响力和代表性的戏曲。中国的京剧有着200多年的历史，是中国的民族瑰宝。京剧有着丰富的剧目（repertoire）、众多的表演艺术家和大批的观众，在中国有着其他戏曲无法匹及的深远影响。京剧剧目主要讲述前朝传说故事，其中包括古代重要的历史事件以及王侯将相、才子佳人的故事，讲述从尧、舜、禹，春秋战国群雄并起的历史时期到秦、汉、隋、唐、宋、元、明、清等多朝代的故事。KnownasChinasnationalopera,BeijingOpera,whichoriginatedinthelate18thcentury,isasynthesisofmusic,dance,artandacrobatics.ItisthemostinfluentialandrepresentativeofalloperasinChina.BeijingOperaisanationaltreasurewithahistoryofmorethan200years.Owingtoitsrichnessofrepertoire,greatnumberofartistsofperformanceandofaudiences,BeijingOperahasprofoundinfluence,whichnootheroperainChinacanrival.TherepertoireofBeijingOperaismainlyengagedinfairytalesofprecedingdynasties,importanthistoricalevents,emperors,ministersandgenerals,geniusesandgreatbeauties,fromYao,Shun,Yu,theSpringandAutumnPeriod,theWarringStatesPeriodtothedynastiesofQin,Han,Sui,Tang,Song,Yuan,Ming,Qing.不可否认，几乎没有哪项科技发明对我们的生活产生的影响比得上电视机的发明和改进给我们带来的好处。它是一种电子视听（audiovisual）媒体，是大量信息的重要来源，让我们不出家门就可以看到各种各样关于比赛、音乐会以及发生在世界各地的时间的现场报道；人们还可以看到大量花样百出的特别节目。例如：世界风景、风俗和文化、神奇海底（seafloor）和庞大的宇宙的壮观景象等。所有的这一切都在最大程度上丰富了我们生活和知识。Admittedly,thereisrarelyanyothertechnologicalinventionhavingsuchagreatimpactonourlifeastheinventionandrevolutionoftelevision.Itisakindofelectricaudiovisualmediaandasourceofabundantinformation,whichgivespeopleeasyaccesstovariouslivereportsaboutgames,concerts,andaffairsoccurringallovertheworld,aswellasavastvarietyofspecialprograms,suchasprogramsaboutworldwidescenery,customandculture,thespectacularsightinmysteriousseafloorandcolossalcosmos,etc.Allofthemenrichourlifeandbroadenourknowledgetosignificantdegree.清华大学被视为中国最著名和选拔人才最严格的大学之一。清华大学的校园位于北京西北部的海淀区，这是专为大学指定的区域。它坐落在清代皇家花园的旧址上，保留了一些中式的园林风格以及一些传统的建筑物，但它的许多建筑物都是西式风格的，反映了美国对它的影响。它拥有中国最美丽校园之一，拥有中国最好的工程和应用科学（appliedscience）课程，吸引了全国最有才华的学生，其地位和美国伯克利大学（Berkeley）、麻省理工学院以及斯坦福大学相当。TsinghuaUniversityisregardedasoneofthemostrenownedandmostselectiveuniversitiesinChina,thecampusofTsinghuaUniversityissituatedinnorthwestBeijing,inHaidianDistrictwhichisdesignatedforuniversities.ItislocatedontheformersiteofQingDynastyroyalgardensandretainssomeChinese-stylelandscapesaswellassometraditionalbuildings,butmanyofitsbuildingsareWestern-stylereflectingtheAmericaninfluenceonitshistory.WithoneofthemostbeautifulcampusesandthebestengineeringandappliedscienceprogramsinChina,itattractsthemosttalentedstudentsofthenationandoccupiesapositionsimilartoBerkeley,MIT,andStanfordUniversityintheUS.中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，人口约占世界总人口的22%。在过去相当长的时期里，由于诸多原因，贫困一直困扰着中国。20世纪80年代中期，中国农村绝大多数地区凭借自身的发展优势，经济得到快速增长，但少数地区由于经济、社会、历史、自然等方面的制约，发展相对滞后。中国政府在致力于经济和社会全面发展的进程中，在全国范围内实施了以解决贫困人口温饱问题为主要目标的有计划、有组织的大规模扶贫开发，极大地缓解了贫困现象。Chinaisthelargestdevelopingcountryintheworldanditspopulationaccountsforabout22percentoftheworldstotal.Foralongperiodofitshistory,Chinahasbeenplaguedbypovertyforvariousreasons.Inthemid-1980s,theeconomyofanoverwhelmingmajorityoftheruralareasinChinagrewdramaticallybyvirtueoftheirownadvantages,butasmallnumberofareasstilllaggedbehindbecauseoftheconstraintsoftheireconomic,social,historical,andnaturalconditions.TheChinesegovernment,whileworkingonall-roundeconomicandsocialdevelopment,hasnationwideimplementedalarge-scaleprogramfordevelopment-orientedpovertyreliefinaplannedandorganizedway.Withthemainobjectiveofhelpingpoverty-strickenpeoplesolvethefoodandclothingproblems,thisprogramhasgonealongwaytowardalleviatingpoverty.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。InBeijing,therearenumeroushutongs.Thelifeofcommonpeopleinhutongsbringsendlesscharmtotheancientcapital,Beijing.ThehutonginBeijingisnotonlythelivingenvironmentofcommonpeoplebutalsoakindofarchitecture.Usually,thereisacourtyardcomplexinsidehutong,withroomssharedby4to10familiesofabout20people.Therefore,lifeinhutongsisfulloffriendlinessandgenuinehumanity.Nowadays,withrapidsocialandeconomicdevelopment,manyhutongsarereplacedbynewtallbuildings.Ihopehutongscanbepreserved.2012年6月 孙子兵法（The Art of War）是中国古代最重要的一部军事著作之一，是我国优秀传统文化的重要组成部分。孙子（Sun Tzu），即该书的作者，在书中揭示的一系列具有普遍意义的军事规律，不仅受到军事家门的推崇，还在经济领域、领导艺术、人生追求甚至家庭关系等诸多方面，具有广泛的指导作用。孙子兵法中的许多名言警句（epigram），富有哲理，意义深远，在国内外广为流传。如今，孙子兵法已被翻译成多种语言，在世界军事史上也具有重要的地位。The Art of War is one of the most important

Compared with other Chinese local operas,Peking Opera enjoys a higher reputation; but actually it absorbed many elements of other local operas. The facial make-up and costumers of the performs are very delicate; by contrast, the backdrops are quiet plain. During performance, the performers mainly utilize four skills: song, speech, dance, and combat.

In ancient times, Peking Opera, was mostly performed in the open air, so the performers developed a piercing style of song that could be heard by everyone.2013年6月中国卫生监督部门决定在未来三到五年之内建立一个全国性的网络，用以监测空气污染对人类健康的影响。这一目标于国家卫生和计划生育委员会(National Health and Family Planning Commission )针对空气污染的一份工作文件中披露，根据这份文件，该网络将搜集不同地区空气中的PM2.5数据和主要空气污染物浓度变化的数据。这将为分析和评估空气污染对健康的影响提供数据支持。这一文件提到，缺乏长期而系统的监测使国家无法揭示空气污染和人类健康之间的联系。Chinas health watchdog has decided to set up a national network to monitor the impact air pollution on humans health within the coming three to five years. The goal was revealed in a work document on air pollution released by National Health and Family Planning Commission. According to the document, the network will gather data on PM2.5 in the air in different regions and the density changes of main air pollutants. That will provide data support for the analysis and evaluation of the impact of air pollution on health. The document noted that lack of long-term and systematic monitoring prevented the country from uncovering the link between air pollution and humans health.2013年12月第一套中国人自古以来就在中秋时节庆祝丰收。这与北美地区庆祝感恩节的习俗十分相似。过中秋节的习俗于唐代早期在中国各地开始流行。中秋节在农历八月十五，是人门拜月的节日。这天夜晚皓月当空，人们合家团聚，共赏明月。2006年，中秋节贝类为中国文化遗产，2008年又被定位公共假日。月饼被视为中秋节不可或缺的美食。人们将月饼作为礼物馈赠亲友或在家庭聚会上享用。传统的月饼上带有“寿（longevity）”、“福”或“和”等字样。Since ancient times, Chinese people have celebrated their harvest during mid-autumn, which is quite similar to the custom of celebrating Thanksgiving Day in North America.

The Silk Road extends for over 6,000 kilometers and derived its name from ancient Chinas silk trade. The trades that occurred on the Silk Road played an important role in the development process of the civilization of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

In the gardens there are ponds, rock-works, trees, flowers and plants, and various architectures that are connected by winding paths or corridors. When rambling in the gardens, people can enjoy a series of elaborately designed landscapes which are presented in front of them like a landscape painting scroll.2014年6月北京计划未来三年投资7,600亿元治理污染，从减少PM2.5排放入手。这一新公布的计划旨在减少四种主要污染源，包括500多万辆机动车的尾气（exhaust）排放、周边地区燃煤、来自北方的沙尘暴和本地的建筑灰尘。另有850亿元用于新建或升级城市垃圾处理和污水（sewage）处理设施，加上300医院投资未来三年的植树造林（forestation）。市政府还计划建造一批水循环利用工厂，并制止违章建筑，以改善环境。另外，北京还将更严厉地处罚违反限排规定的行为。Beijing has planned to invest 760 billion yuan to tackle pollution in coming three years, starting from reducing the PM2.5 emissions.
