中国新年是中国最重要的传统节日，在中国也被称为春节。新年的庆祝活动从除夕开始一直延续到元宵节（the Lantern Festival），即从农历（lunar calender）最后一个月的最后一天至新年第一个月的第十五天。各地欢度春节的习俗和传统有很大的差异，但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚，一起吃年夜饭。为驱厄运、迎好运、家家户户都会进行大扫除。人们还会在门上黏贴红色的对联（couplets），对联的主题为健康、发财和好运。其他的活动还有放鞭炮、发红包和探亲访友等。Chinese New Year is the most important traditional Chinese holiday. In China, it is known as the Spring Festival. New Year celebrations run from Chinese New Year?s Eve, the last day of the last month of the lunar calendar, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first month. Customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the New Year vary widely from place to place. However, New Year?s Eve is usually an occasion for Chinese famlies to gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to thoroughly clean the house in order to sweep away ill fortune and to bring in good luck. And doors will be decorated with red couplets with themes of health,wealth and good luck. Other activities include lighting firecrackers, giving money in red envelops,and visiting relatives and friends.
2.元宵节
翻译示例：
在中国，元宵节在农历元月十五这一天庆祝，标志着新年庆祝活动的结束。关于元宵节的来历说法不一。有一个传说是这样讲的：一些村名射杀了一只仙鹤，这激怒了天庭玉帝（Jade Emperor）。于是，他命令天兵在农历十五这一天火烧村长。他的女儿把这个计划告知了村民。一位智者建议每家每户都在房子周围挂上红灯笼，在街上燃放鞭炮，制造村里着火的景象。在这一天，玉帝看到村子已经是一片火海，决定不去烧毁村庄了。从那一天开始，人们悬挂灯笼、放鞭炮和焰火来庆祝这个节日。
The Lantern Festival in China is celebrated on the fifteenth day of the first month in the lunar calendar, marking the last day of the New Year celebration. There are different beliefs of its origin. One legend tells that a crane from heaven was shot dead by some villagers, which angered the Jade Emperor in heaven. So, he ordered his troops to set fire to the village on the fifteenth lunar day. His daughter warned the villagers of her father?s plan. A wise man suggested that every family should hang red lanterns around their houses and exploding firecrackers in the streets to give the village the appearance of being on fire. On the very day, the Jade Emperor saw that the village was already ablaze and decided not to burn it down. From that day on, people celebrate the festival by hanging lanterns and exploding firecrackers and firework.
3.清明节
Celebrated two weeks after the vernal equinox(春分),Tomb Sweeping Day is one of the few traditional Chinese holidays that follows the solar calendar-typically falling on April 4,5or 6.
Its Chinese name “Qing Ming”literally means ”Clear Brightness”, hinting as it importance as a celebration of spring. Similar to the spring festivals of other cultures. Tomb Sweeping Day celebrates the rebirth of nature, while marking the beginning of the planting season and other outdoor activities.
In ancient times, people celebrated Qing Ming Jie with dancing, singing, picnics, and kite flying. Colored boiled eggs would be broken to symbolize the opening of life. In the capital, the Emperor would plant trees on the palace grounds to celebrate the renewing nature of spring. In the villages, young men and young women would court each other.
With the passing of time, this celebration of life became a day to honor the past ancestors. Following folk religion, the Chinese believed that the spirits of deceased ancestors looked after the family. Sacrifices of th food and spirit money would keep them happy, and the family would prosper through good harvests and more children. Today Chinese visit their family graves to tend to any underbrush that has grown. Weeds are pulled, and dirt swept away, and the family will set out offerings of food and spirit money. Unlike the sacrifices at a family?s home alter, the offerings at the tomb usually consist of dry, bland food. One theory is that since any number of ghosts rome around a grave area, the less appealing food will be consumed by the ancestors, and not be plundered by strangers.
4.端午节
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th month of according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zong zi and racing dragon boats. The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races, especially in southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. The regatta(赛舟会) commemorates the death of Qu Yuan, an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.
Qu was a minster of a state of Chu situated in the present-day Hunan and Heibei provinces., during the Warring States Period. He was upright, loyal and highly esteemed for his wise counsel that brought peace and prosperity to the state. However when a dishonest and corrupt prince vilified Qu, he was disgraced and dismissed from office. Realizing the country was now in the hands of the evil and corrupt officials, Qu grabbed a large stone and leapt into the Milu River on the 5th day of the 5th month. Nearby fishermen rushed over to try and save him but were unable to even recover his body. Thereafter, the state declined and was eventually conquered by the state of Qin.
5.七夕节
Chinese Valentine?s Day(or “Qi Qiao Jie”) falls on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar(August according to the solar calendar). As is the custom elsewhere in the world, this is the day devoted to romance. In China, this day is also known as“The begging Festival”or “The Daughter?s Festival”. It is an important day for girls. In the eveing, girls prepare melons and fruit before worship and prayers for a good marriage.
There are many story as to the origins of the Chinese Valentine?s Day, and one of them involves the Emperor of heaven and his seven daughters.
中秋节又称为秋天中期的节日，在每年的农历八月十五庆祝。只是一个和家人爱人欢聚一堂，并赏月的日子。满月则是一个吉利的象征，意味着富足，和谐和好运。大人们通常会在这天享受这各种各样美味的月饼和一杯香浓的热茶，而孩子们则会绕着明亮的花灯嬉戏玩耍。中秋节可能在最开始是一个庆祝丰收的节日，但是后来被赋予了神话的意味——一位住在月亮里的美丽女人——嫦娥。
“Zhong Qiu Jie”,which is also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. It is a time for family members and loved ones to congregate and enjoy the full moon—an auspicious symbol of abundance, harmony and luck. Adults will usually indulge in fragrant mooncakes of many varieties with a good cup of hot tea, while the little ones run around with their brightly-lit lanterns. Mid-Autumn Day probably began as a harvest festival. The festival was later given a mythological flavour with legends of Chang-E, the beautiful lady in the moon.
关于吃月饼这个传统的来历有两个传说。一个是唐朝的神话故事，说的是当时地球被10个太阳包围着。有一天10个太阳同时出现在天空中，巨大的热量几乎把地球烤焦了。多亏一位名叫后羿的神箭手射下了9个太阳，地球才被保住。为了奖励后羿，王母娘娘赐给后羿一种长生不老药，但是王母警告他必须正当使用。然而后羿没有理会王母娘娘的警告，他被名利冲昏了头脑，变成了一个暴君。后羿美丽的妻子嫦娥对他的暴行再也不能袖手旁观，于是她偷走了后羿的长生不老药，飞到月亮上逃避后羿的狂怒。从此就有了关于月宫仙子嫦娥，这个月亮上的美丽女人的传说。
There are two legends which claim to explain the tradition of eating mooncakes One Tang Dynasty myth holds that the Earth once had 10 suns circling it. One day all 10 suns appeared at once, scorching the planet with their heat. It was thanks to a skillful archer named Hou Yi that the Earth was saved. He shot down all but one of the suns. As his reward, the Heavenly Queen Mother gave Hou Yi the Elixir of Immortality, but she warned him that he must use it wisely. Hou Yi ignored her advice and, corrupted by fame and fortune, became a tyrannical leader. Chang-E, his beautiful wife, could no longer stand by and watch him abuse his power so she stole his Elixir and fled to the moon to escape his angry wrath. And thus began the legend of the beautiful woman in the moon, the Moon Fairy.
“王母娘娘” the Heavenly Queen Mother “长生不老药”Elixir of Immortality use sth wisely：正当使用某物没有理会也就是忽视，ignore。名利：fame and fortune 暴君：a tyrannical leader袖手旁观：stand by。and thus began这个句首大家可以多用用。
1.茶
茶对中国文化有着深远的影响。在中国社会，年轻一辈常常向年老一辈敬茶以表示他们的尊敬。中国人在家庭聚会时也会喝茶。子女们很少有时间回来探望父母，父母也很少见到他们的孙子。因此，去餐馆和喝茶成了他们家庭聚会的一项重要活动。此外，在中国文化里人们会以倒茶的方式，向别人表示深重的歉意。向老一辈敬茶表示谢意同样是婚礼上的重要礼仪。在中国传统婚礼上，新郎和新娘都要跪在父母面前，向他们敬茶。
Tea has a profound influence on Chinese culture. In Chinese society, the younger generation always show their respect to the older generation by offering a cup of tea. Chinese also drunk tea at a family gathering. Sons and daughters have few times to visit their parents, and parents may seldom see their grandchildren as well. Therefore, going to restaurants and drinking tea become an important activities for family gatherings. Besides, in Chinese culture, people make serious apologies to others by pouring tea for them. Serving tea to express thanks to your elders to also an important etiquette one?s wedding day. In the traditional Chinese marriage ceremony, both the bride and groom kneel in front of their parents and serve them tea.
2.秦始皇
秦始皇是中国历史上杰出的政治家、战略家和改革家。13岁继承王位，39岁统一中国并自封“始皇帝”（First Emperor），建立第一个统一的、多民族、中央集权制国家。统一中国后，他推行了一系列改革，比如统一度量衡单位和货币标准、统一文字（the Chinese script）。他在位期间还进行了多项浩大的工程，比如修建长城和他的陵墓等。为了加强统治，他禁止并焚烧经典书籍，坑杀儒士（Confucian scholars）。虽然他的一些举措给人民带来了深重的灾难，但是他的功绩远大于过失。
Qing Shi Huang is an outstanding statesman, strategist and reformer in the history of China. He inherited the throne at the age of 13. At the age of 39, he unified China and proclaimed himself the First Emperor ,establishing the first united, multi-ethnic and centralized country. At the unification of China, he passed a series of reforms, for example, standardizing the units of measurements and the currency, unifying the Chinese script. He also undertook gigantic projects the construction of the Great Wall and him tomb in his reign. To strengthen his rule, he outlawed and burned the classic books and buried the Confucian scholars alive. Although some of his measures brought people heavy disaster, his achievement is far more than his error.
3.春运
春运（chunyun）是指中国春节前后出现的一种高负荷交通运输，一般从春节前15天开始，持续约40天。对大多数中国人来说，在春节期间与家人团聚是一个悠久的传统。人们从工作读书的地方回到家里，在除夕夜与家人一起吃团圆饭。春运期间的客流量（passenger flow）在近十年来每年都超过中国的总人口。春运被称为每年世界上最大的人类迁徙活动。在这期间，铁路运输往往经受最大的考验。
Chunyun refers to the extremely high traffic load in China around the time of the Spring Festival. It usually begins 15 days before the lunar New Year?s Day and lasts for around 40 days. It is an
long-held tradition for most Chinese to reunite with their families during the Chinese New Year. People return home from work or study to have Reunion Dinner with their families on the New Year?s Eve. The passenger flow during the Chunyun period have exceeded the population of China each year for the recent decade. Chunyun has been called as the largest annual human migration in the world. Rail transport experiences the biggest challenge during the period.
4.姓名
中国人的姓名有自己的传统和特点。与西方人不同，中国人的姓名是姓在前，名在后。通常为1~2个汉字。中国人的姓名传达特殊意义，名字往往代表对新生儿的美好祝愿。有一些名字暗示出生的地点、时间或自然现象，如晨（早晨）、冬（冬天）；有些体现希望具有某种美德，如忠（忠心）；其它则表达对生活的愿景，如健（健康）。如今中国有3,500个姓氏被普遍使用，使用最多的前三位是李、王、赵。中国人有使用自己名字的平等权利，受法律保护。The name of Chinese people have their own tradition and characteristic. Unlike westerners, the family name in China is put first ,followed by the given name. The given name usually contains one or two Chinese characters. Chinese name conveys special meaning, with the given name often expressing the best wishes on the new-born. Some imply the birthplace, birth time or natural phenomenon, like Chen(moring),Dong(winter);some embody the hope of virtue, like Zhong(faithful) while others express the wishes of life, like Jian(health). Together 3,500 family names are commonly used nowadays in China and most popular three are Li, Wang and Zhang. All Chinese people have equal rights to use their own names,which are legally protected.
5.聘金
聘金是中国传统习俗的一部分。这一习惯在整个中国都很普遍。但是近几年来其标准不断上升，致使大多数家庭都很难达到。高额的聘礼常常“抢劫”了新郎父母必生的积蓄，甚至引起家庭纠纷。此外，许多新婚夫妇被迫举行奢侈的婚礼宴会，在这个过程中，大量债务的累积可能使他们的新婚生活变得辛酸，至少在最初阶段是这样。想想老一辈节俭的婚礼，虽然简简单单，但也幸福美满，没有给他们婚后的生活带来任何负担。
Endowment may be part of Chinese tradition, but the standards have become so high in recent years that a majority of families are finding it difficult to meet them. The high endowment amounts often rob grooms’ parents of their life’s savings and causes family disputes. Besides, many newly married couples are forced to host extravagant wedding ceremonies to keep up with the Joneses and, in the process, run up huge debts that could turn their married life sour, at least in the initial phase. Considering the frugal wedding of many parents, simple but happiness, didn’t have any bearing on their married life.
6.武术
我整整一生都处于对武术的痴迷之中。但是当我搬到一个有功夫俱乐部的城市时，我才真正体会到了武术的魅力，同时也完全理解了为什么人们称它为一种艺术。它是一种战斗同时也
是在进行一种自我防卫，这其实也达到了让你更加了解自己的身体，从而使它变得更加强壮和健康的目的。功夫是一门完整的哲学，而且是中国文化的重要组成部分。当我开始练习功夫的时候，我才意识到它有多么地困难，哪怕是简单的一踢或者一打就需要几个月的时间去练习。但是我太爱它了！一个全新的世界正向我敞开它的大门。
I've been interested in martial arts in my whole life. But it was only when I moved to another city where there was a Kungfu club, that I really enjoyed it and fully understood why they call it an art. It is fighting and defending yourself, but it also understanding your body more, making it stronger and healthier. Kungfu is a whole philosophy and is a big part of Chinese culture. When I started to practice kungfu I realized how difficult it was. Even a simple kick or punch demanded months of practice. But I loved it! A whole new world was opening to me.
7.三国演义
《三国演义》是一部由罗贯中创作于14世纪的中国历史题材小说。小说以汉朝末年和三国时期的历史演变为背景，叙述了在这个动荡（turbulent）时期发生的一系列重大事件。故事情节从公元168年开始一直到公园按280年领土统一（reunification）时结束。小说篇幅长达80万字，分为120个章节，共描述了1700多个人物角色，堪称中国文学史上四大经典小说之一。

1.出境旅游
有钱消费的新兴中产阶层快速崛起、交通枢纽的改善、签证限制的逐渐减少以及有利的政府政策，所有这些因素出城中国旅游业在国内外的繁荣。从2010年至2020年，中国旅游业有望以每年6个百分点的速度增长-----全球最快的速度。这吸引了许多国外公司开中国开设度假胜地。与此同时，中国旅游消费的很大份额流到境外。2009年中国大陆到海外旅游达到4700万次。政府预计在接下来十年中，到国外旅游的人数将达到一亿，使中国成为世界上最大的出境（outbound）游市场。
A fast-emerging middle class with money to spend, improving transport links, diminishing visa restrictions and flavorable official policies, all these factors lead to a boom in domestic and outbound Chinese tourism. The tourism sector in China is expected to expand by 6% a year between 2010 and 2020, the fastest rate in the world, which has attracted companies from aboard to open the resorts in China. Meanwhile, a large share of China?s tourist is already flowing beyond its borders. Mainland Chinese made 47 million trips overseas in 2009. In the next decade, the government expects 100 million people to tour abroad, and China will become the world?s biggest outbound tourism market.
2.神舟号宇宙飞船
中国航天工程神舟号宇宙飞船以其十次成功发射给世界留下了印象。1992年，中国载人航天工程正式获得批准。1999年11月20日，中国首支无人操作飞船“神舟一号”成功发射，这标志着中国在太空探索中取得首个重大突破。在接下来的三年，无人操作飞船的几次试验飞行（test flight）相继执行。第五次发射的神舟五号正在2003年10月15日第一次将中国首位宇航员送入太空。自此，中国成为继俄罗斯和美国之后第三个具备自主载人航天能力的国家。
Shenzhou spacecraft of China?s space program has alreafy mad ea worldwide impression with 10 successful blastoffs. China?s Manned Space Program was formally approved in 1992. On the November 20, 1999, China?s first unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou 1, was successfully launched, which is marked China?s first great breakthrough in space exploration. In the following three years, several test flights of unmanned spacecrafts were successively carried out. The fifth launch, Shenzhou 5, was the first to carry first Chinese astronaut into soace on 15 October 2003. Since then, China have became the third country in the world to have the independent manned space flight capability after Russia and the United States.
3.能源
能源是人类社会赖以生存和发展的重要物质基础。人类文明跨出重要的每一步都伴随着能源的革新和更替（substitution）。能源是开发利用（utilization）极大地推进了世界经济和人类社会的发展。中国是目前世界上第二大能源生产国和消费国。能源供应的持续增长，为经济增长的社会发展提供额重要的支撑。能源消费的快速增长，为世界能源市场创造了广阔的发展空间。作为世界能源市场不可代替的重要组成部分，中国在维护全球能源安全上，正在发挥着越来越重要的积极作用。
Energy is an essential material basis for human survival and development, every significant step in the progress of human civilization has been accompanied by energy innovations and substitutions. The development and utilization of energy has enormously boosted the development of the world economy and human society. China is now the world?s second-largest energy producer and consumer. The sustained growth of energy supply has provided an important support for the country?s economic growth and social progress , while the rapid expansion of the energy consumption has created a vast scope for the global energy market. As an irreplaceable component of the world energy market, China plays an increasingly important role in maintain global energy security.
4．中韩贸易
随着中国日益成为韩国的重要贸易伙伴，两国的联系从外交和贸易延伸到了教育领域。中国是韩国最大的出口目的地，吸收了韩国约四分之一的出口产品，同时也吸引了韩国超过四分之一的留学生。虽然在美国留学的好处之一是可以练习英语（对找工作的人来说英语依然是最重要的语言），但韩国雇主对有中国经历的毕业生的需求越来越大。比如三星集团两年前说，具有中文语言能力的求职者会得到额外的加分。
As China?s increasing impo rtance as a trading partner becomes palpable in neighboring South Korea, the connections between the countries are extending from diplomacy and trade to education. As South Korea?s biggest ex port destination, China takes in a quarter of South Korea?s exports—and it also attracts more than a quarter of its neighbor?s students abroad. Although studying in the United States is practice speaking English, which is still seen as the most important language for job seekers, Korean employers are increasingly looking for graduates with experience in China. Samsung Group, for example, said two years ago that job applicants with Chinese language skills would get bonus points.
波士顿咨询公司最近做的一项研究显示，到2020年中国将会有2.2亿家庭收入在2万到100万美元的富裕消费者。这些消费者中75%住在“较小城市”。随着网络的发展，较小城市的消费者的一种必然趋势是他们更加依赖社交网络服务上的信息。很多网络顾客都是通过微信、微博和QQ空间分组的。据估计今年中国将会有2.5亿消费者进行网购，位于四线城市的消费者平均每人会花费他们50%或者更高的工资在网购上，这一数据要比一线城市的消费者的花费高。
A recent study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group says there will be 220 million affluent consumers, who are from households earning between $ 20,000 to $ 1 million in China by 2020, and 75 percent of them will live in “smaller” cities. With the development of the Internet, an inevitable trend among these consumers is they are much more dependent on information from social networking services. Many of the website’s customers are “grouped” by Wechat, Weibo and QQ Zones. It is now estimated that 250 million Chinese consumers will shop online this year and the average shopper in a fourth-tier city in China will spend 50 percent or more of their income on e-commerce than those in top-tier cities.
1.中国梦
几千年的中国文化充实着中国梦，同时，过去三十几年的改革开放也激励着中国梦。中国梦最显著的特征是包容性（inclusiveness）和双赢合作（win-win cooperation）。这些也是使中国梦扩大它的全球影响范围和其他国家的人民认可的基本特征。中国梦使民族复兴的梦。它是建设一个强大繁荣的国家，给中国人民带来幸福生活的梦。中国梦需要维持稳定健康的经济发展，科学管理社会，以及有效应对外部发展的风险和挑战。
The Chinese dream has been enriched by thousands of years of Chinese culture and inspired among other things by the past three decades of reform and opening-up. The most noticeable features of the Chinese dream include inclusiveness and win-win cooperation. These are the very features that will enable the Chinese dream is the dream of national rejuvenation. It is the dream of building a powerful and prosperous state, a dream of bringing happiness in the lives of the Chinese people. It is entails sustaining steady and healthy economic growth, scientifically managing the Chinese society, and effectively responding to the risks and challenges of external development.
2.工作汇报
总结一年来的工作，我们清醒地看到，经济社会发展中还存在不少问题和困难。必须坚持把人民群众利益放在第一位。要切实维护人民群众的经济、政治和文化权益，着力解决关系群众切身利益的突出问题，保障城乡困难群众的基本生活。不断满足人们日益增长的物质文化需要，是社会主义现代化建设的根本目的。只有执政为民，我们的各项事业才能获得最广泛最可靠的群众基础和力量源泉。和平稳定是发展的前提和基础。上个世纪，人类经历了两次世界大战，生灵涂炭，经济社会发展遭受严重挫折。第二次世界大战结束以来，世界经济能够快速增长，主要得益于相对和平稳定的国际环境。我们应该恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则，充分发挥联合国及其安理会在维护和平、缔造和平、建设和平方面的核心作用。坚持通过对话和协商，以和平方式解决国际争端。我们应该坚持国家不论大小、强弱、贫富都是国际社会平等一员，以民主、包容、合作、共赢的精神实现共同安全，做到一国内部的事情一国自主办、大家共同的事情大家商量办，坚定不移奉行多边主义和国际合作，推进国际关系民主化。
In reviewing our work of the past year, we clearly see that many problems and difficulties remain in our economic and social development. We must always put the interests of the people first. We m ust truly protect the people…s economic, political and cultural rights and interests, pay particular attention to solving acute problems affecting their vital interests, and ensure that poor urban and rural residents have the basic necessities of life. The fundamental goal of our socialist modernization drive is to continually meet the growing material and cultural needs of the people. Only if we exercise power for the good of the people can we enjoy the broadest and most reliable support from the people and draw from them the strength for accomplishing all our undertakings. Peace and stability form the prerequisite and foundation for development. The two world wars in the last century caused mankind untold sufferings and world economic and social development severe setbacks. It is mainly due to the relatively peaceful and stable international environment that the world economy has been able to grow at a fast pace in the post-war era. We should abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter and bring into full play the central role of the United Nations and its Security Council in peace keeping, peace making and peace building. We should seek peaceful settlement of international disputes through dialogue and consultation. All countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, are equal members of the international community. We should work for common security in a spirit of democracy, inclusiveness, cooperation and win-win progress. Internal affairs of a country should be handled independently by the country itself and international affairs should be managed collectively through consultation by all. We should be committed to multilateralism and international cooperation, and promote democracy in international relations.
1.北京大学
北京大学于1898年在北京成立，原名为京师大学堂（the Imperial University of Peking）。该大学的成立标志着中国近代史上高等教育的开始。在中国近代史上，它是进步思想的中心，对中国新文化运动、五四运动及其他重要事件的发生颇有影响。今天，国内不少排名将北京大学列入中国顶尖大学之列。该校重视教学和科学研究。为提高本科生教育和研究生教育质量、为保持其领先研究机构的地位，学校已做了很大努力。此外，学校尤以其校园坏境及优

The establishment of the university marked the beginning of China?s modern history of higher education. In the modern history of China, it was the center for the progressive thought and was influential in the birth of the New Culture Movement, May Fourth Movement and many other significant events. Today, many domestic rankings place Peking University amongst the top universities in China. The university lays emphasis on both teaching and scientific research. Great effort have been made to improve the quality of undergraduate and graduate education and maintain its role as a leading research institution. In addition, the University is especially renowned for its campus environment and the beauty of its traditional Chinese architecture.
2.长城
长城是中国古代规模浩大的军事防御工程。修筑长城主要是为了抵御北方游牧名族（nomadic groups）的入侵。长城东西绵延8,800米，跨越17个省份，主要由城墙、关隘、烽火台（watchtower）组成。今天我们看到的长城多数可追溯到明朝。保存最完好、最为壮观的部分是北京的八达岭。长城已有两千多年历史，某些部分现已毁坏或消失。然而它仍然是世界上最吸引人的景观之一。长城是耗时最长、付出生命代价最高的建筑工程。他位列世界七大奇观，当之无愧。
Great Wall of china is an ancient gigantic defensive project. It built originally to resist the invasions of northern nomadic groups. The Wall stretches for 8,800 km and spans 17 provinces from east to west. The Great Wall mainly comprises walls, passes and watchtowers. The Great Wall we see to mostly dates back to the Ming Dynasty. The best-preserved and imposing section is at Badaling in Beijing. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some of the section are now in ruins or have disappeared. However, it is still the most appealing attractions all around the world. The Great Wall is building project with the longest duration and greatest cost in human lives. It deserves its place among “the New Seven Wonders of the World”.
3.莫高窟
敦煌莫高窟坐落于中国西北甘肃省的一个小县城。如今，石窟壁上闻名世界的壁画已经变得脆弱不堪（fragile）。那里世界著名的壁画石窟的建造横跨公元4世记至14世纪，历经十多个朝代。一代代的画匠用手中的画笔描绘出当时的日常生活与佛教文化，使石窟熠熠生辉。这些珍贵的艺术品正遭受来自气候干燥、自然恶化和旅游业的影响，处境堪忧。Dunhuang Mogao Caves lies in a small town in Northwest China?s Gansu province. Nowadays, the world-famous paintings on the surfaces of the caves there are becoming extremely fragile. The caves were built between the 4th and 14th centuries, through more than 10 successive dynasties. One generation of painters after another filled them with murals illustrating Buddhism and daily life. These precious artworks, however, are now at risk from arid weather, natural deterioration and the impact of tourism.
4.澳门
澳门，南海之滨一颗闪耀的明珠，以她的风采、沧桑和辉煌，更以1999年12月20日这个不同寻常的日子，吸引着全世界的目光。自古以来，澳门就是中国的领土，中华儿女世世代代在这里繁衍生息。早在80年代，世纪伟人邓小平就提出了"一国两制"的伟大构想。1997年7月1日，中华人民共和国恢复对香港行使主权。今年，澳门又将彻底结束外国管治，回到祖国怀抱，这是中华民族的又一件历史盛事，它标志着中国人民向着祖国统一的伟大目标又迈出了重大的步。澳门的明天一定会更好美好。
As a shining pearl on the coast of South China, Macao attracts the world?s attention for her charm, history of great events and glory, especially for the unusual date of December 20, 1999. Macao has been the territory of China ever since the ancient times. TheChinese people have been living and working there for generations. Early in the 80s, Mr. Deng Xiaoping, one of the great figures of thecentury, put forward the bold concept of "One Country, Two Systems". On July 1,1997, the People?s Republic of China resumed her sovereignty ov er Hong Kong. This year, Macao will completely get rid of the foreign regime and return tomotherland. This is another great historical event for the Chinese people. Itsymbolizes another big step for the Chinese people on their way towards thegreat goal of the country?s reunification. Macao?s future is sure to be evenbrighter. South China Sea 表示中国南海，不是“南中国海” East China Sea 东海自古以来：ever since 伟人：great figure 提出：put forward 一国两制：One Country, Two Systems恢复对......行使主权：resume one's sovereignty over

6.亚洲
近代以来，亚洲经历了曲折和艰难的发展历程。亚洲人们为改变自己的命运，始终以不屈的意志和艰辛的奋斗开辟前进道路。今天，人们所看到的亚洲发展成就，是勤劳智慧的亚洲人民不屈不挠、锲而不舍奋斗的结果。亚洲人民深知，世界上没有放之四海而皆准的发展模式，
也没有一成不变的发展道路，亚洲人民勇于变革创新，不断开拓进取，探索和开辟适应时代潮流，符合自身实际的发展道路，为经济社会发展打开了广阔前景。
In modern times, Asia experienced twists and turns in its development. To change their destiny, the people of Asia have been forging ahead in an indomitable spirit and with hard struggle. Asia's development achievements today are the result of the persistent efforts of the industrious and talented Asian people.The people of Asia are fully aware that there is no ready model or unchanging path of development that is universally applicable. They never shy away from reform and innovation. Instead, they are committed to exploring and finding development paths that are in line with the trend of the times and their own situations, and have opened up bright prospects for economic and social development.

Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of Shakespeare and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind, it catches the reader?s attention and triggers moments of self-reflection. The research also found that reading books, in particular poems, increases the activity in the right hemisphere of the brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, which helps the reader to reflect on and reappraise their own experiences in light of what they have read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.
来自利物浦大学的科学家、心理学家和英文教授发现，阅读莎士比亚及其他古典作家的作品对心智发展大有裨益。这些作品能够抓住读者的注意力，引发读者的自我反思。研究还发现，阅读书籍，尤其是诗歌，可以增加与“自传体记忆”有关的大脑右半球的活动频率，有助于读者根据阅读内容对个人经历进行反思和重新评价。学者们表示，这意味着阅读古典作品比阅读自助类书籍更有帮助。

They poisoned the mind and corrupted the morals of young people, which wasted their time sitting on sofas immersed in dangerous fantasy worlds. Critics in the 18th century were so worried about the impact of new media on young people that they lodged the above-mentioned charge against novels. Today the idea that novels can harm people sounds daft. And that is surely how history will judge modern criticism of video games, which are accused of turning young people into violent criminals.
他们毒害年轻人的心灵，腐化年轻人的灵魂。正是它们，让年轻人坐在沙发上虚度时光，沉浸于危险重重的幻想世界。18世纪的批评家们对于新媒体对年轻人的冲击感到忧心忡忡，他们向小说提出了如此的控诉。时至今日，小说害人的说法听起来已是如此的荒谬。对于当今时代那些控诉电视游戏使年轻人变成暴力罪犯的批评者们，历史最终也将对他们做出同样的审判。

The only reason I?ve managed to accomplish anything isbecause I am a firm believer in continuous improvement. If you fail insomething, distance from the event for a day or two, because agonizing over theproblem will not make it go away (and will make it a lot worse). Read a goodbook, catch up with some friends you haven?t seen in a long time, or go on anature hike. You will be able to look at the issue with a fresh perspective. After you have done that, ask yourself: “Why did this work out and how can Ido better next time?” This process very well could repeat itself several times depending on the nature of your goal, but if you keep making a firm commitment to continuously improve yourself, you will develop so much that the only option left is success. Consistent hustle always wins.
如果说我确实有所成就的话，那也只是因为我坚信不断尝试就会成功。遇到挫折时，你可以暂时把问题放一放，一味纠结不仅无济于事，有时反倒使情况更糟。先去读一本好书、见见久未谋面的好友或去户外骑游一番；再回头看待问题，你或许会感到柳暗花明。这样做后，别忘了多加反省：“为什么这个方法会奏效？下次能不能做得更好呢？”看你定的是什么目标，这种方法可以被反复有效应用。如果你坚定不移地持续提升自己，最后成功肯定非你莫属。孜孜不倦向来无敌。

I'm learning to do that a lot in this life, to let go. It doesn't help to hang on to the hurt or judgment. It doesn't work to blame or criticize. Those approaches only serve to keep you stuck. But compassion is freeing. It uplifts both you and the person you are sharing it with. When you act with compassion, you are living from your highest potential and connecting with your greatest self. The more you can do that, the better you'll feel in this life.
在我的生活里，我也尝试过很多次试着放手。虽然，学会放手不会减轻生活里的伤痛或是改变什么，也不会让你的情绪得以发泄，也许你仍然会被生活所困。然而，富有同情心是一种释放。会让你和感受到你同情心的人得到精神上的洗礼。当你对一切都富有同情心时，你会发挥自己最大潜力。你也会在生活中觉得自己有无限的正能量。
放手：to let go减轻伤痛：to help to hang on to the hurt 被生活所困：keep sb stuck

1.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 animal s.

2.中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放，这对海外企业（enterprises）意味着更多的商机。改革开放以来，中国企业与海外企业一直积极开展经济技术合作，并取得了巨大成就。海外企业不仅帮助了中国企业的成长，而且也在合作中获得了收益。中国政府将继续提供有利的政策和条件，推动中国企业与国外企业进一步开展合作。China will develop its economy further and open itself wider to the outside world,which offers mo re business opportunities to overseas enterprises.

3.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 people?s consumption concept is undert aking great changes.According to statistics, the demands of Chinese consumers are shifting from t he basic necessities of life to leisure, comfort and personal development.Therefore, the structure of products should be adjusted accordingly to adapt to social development.

8.、吸烟之危害，可谓大矣，其严重性是不能低估的。吸烟污染空气，损害健康，使肺癌发病率大大增加。为了使各国人民关注烟草的盛行及预防吸烟导致的疾病和死亡，世界卫生组织已将每年的5月31日定为“世界无烟日”。瘾君子们说，一天饭不吃可以，一个时辰不
抽烟就难捱了，不能戒。只要真正意识到吸烟有百害而无一利，于人于己都是一种祸害，就有可能下决心摆脱烟草的诱惑。戒烟贵在坚持，坚持下去就是收获。Smoking does great harm to human and its gravity should not be underestimated. Smoking pollute s air, damages health, and increases the incidence of lung cancer. To arouse the awareness about th e prevalence of tobacco in all the countries and to prevent smoking-induce diseases and deaths, the WHO (World Health Organization) has defined May 31stin every year as World No-Tobacco Day. The tobacco addicts say that smoking is impossible to quit because they could do without meals i n a day but would feel tortured without tobacco in two hours. However, when one realizes that sm oking is harmful in many ways but beneficial in no way and that it is a curse to others as well as to he himself, he will be determined to resist the temptation of tobacco. To quit smoking requires per sistence and so long as one persists,he’ll be rewarded.
9.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。这些人对中文的态度几乎没有完全改变。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 t hat while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kid shave a go od command of Chinese. China?s rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit rom 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. They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese. At one time the y 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 ca n enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage.
10、我赞同许多东亚学者的观点，东方文明可以医治盛行于西方世界的一些顽疾。西方世界个人自由主义泛滥导致了极端个人主义、性关系混乱以及过度暴力行为，对此我们不能视而不见。// 相反，东方社会的自我约束力，集体责任感以及温厚儒雅的传统倒可以消除西方社会的许多恶疾。// 在这个信息时代，世界已缩小成一个地球村。这个地球村里，不再有什么泾渭分明的东方世界和西方世界，我们是生活在同一个社区里的邻里。// 因此，我们彼此之间无须冲突。我们之间的关系应该是一种友好合作，平等互补的关系。我们应该相互理解，相互学习，和睦共处。
I share the same view with many East Asian scholars that the Oriental civilization can heal some o f the prevailing ,stubborn Western ills. We should not turn a blind eye to the fact that individual fre edom has gone overboard in the West, resulting in extreme individualism, sexual promiscuity and excessive use of violence.// By contrast,self-discipline, corporate responsibility and the pacific tra dition of East Asia can offset many Western vices.// At this age of information, the world has shru nk as a global village in which there will be no clear-cut worlds of the East and the West any more , but a world of one community with neighboring families.// Therefore,we do not necessarily have to come into clash with each other. Our relationship is one of friendly cooperation, equality and m utual complementarity and therefore,we should understand and learn from each other, and live in h armony.//
11.、国际贸易的基本原则是平等互利，各国追求各自的利益是正常的，出现一些摩擦和纠
纷也是不可避免的。关键要以冷静而明智的态度正确对待和处理摩擦和纠纷。// 就中美贸易而言，互利共赢的经贸关系给两国人民带来了实实在在的经济利益。今天，美国在华投资设立的企业已超过4 万家，投资额达450 亿美元。// 美国500 强企业有400 多家进入中国，大多数企业获利丰厚。与此同时，在美国市场上，许多中国商品受到美国消费者的青睐。中国在美国投资设立的企业已超过1000 家。// 我们可以预见，中美贸易摩擦将随着经贸关系的深化而凸显，但是中美经贸合作的总体发展是不可逆转的。主要有两个原因，其一：中美贸易具有很大互补性。其二：中国产品具有明显的劳动力成本优势。// Equality and mutual benefit is the fundamental principle of international trade. Therefore, it is nor mal that countries will seek to protect their own interests, which may lead to trade friction sand dis putes. The key lies in how to cope with these issues correctly in a cool and wise manner.// As for C hina-US trade, mutually beneficial and win-win trade and economic ties have delivered tangible ec onomic benefits to the two peoples.Now, with over 40,000 U.S.- invested enterprises, the total inv estment in China stands at $45 billion.// Of the top 500 U.S companies, more than 400 have their b usiness in China, and most of them are making handsome profit. At the same time, many Chinese commodities have become favored choices of American consumers.Meanwhile, the number of Chi nese-invested enterprises in the United Sates has surpassed 1,000.// We predict that trade disputes between China and the United States will become more acute along with the further development i n bilateral trade and economic cooperation. The overall development in bilateral trade and econom ic cooperation is, however, irreversible. There are two factors contribute to this trend.Firstly, the Si no-U.S. economic and trade relations enjoy complementarities in vast fields. Secondly, China has an outstanding labor cost advantage.//
12、中国国际出版集团是中国最大的、最权威的外语出版发行单位，其前身是中央人民政府新闻出版署国际新闻局。// 我集团坚持“让中国走向世界，让世界了解中国”的出版原则，全心致力于中国外语教育与研究事业的发展，全心致力于中外文化交流事业的拓展。// 为了加强对出版人才队伍的建设，为了满足日益增长的特殊出版业务的需要，我集团每年都要选派一些青年员工到国内外知名高等学府和研究机构进修，// 根据我们的发展战略，我们会将前进的步伐迈出国界走向世界，瞄准海外读者群，这一战略已取得了良好的开局。// The China International Publishing Group is the largest and the most authoritative foreign languag e publishing and distribution establishment, its predecessor being the International Press Bureau of the Central People's Government Press and Publication Administration.//Adhering to the publishi ng philosophy of “assisting China's march to the world and facilitating world's understanding of C hina”, the Group commits itself entirely to promoting foreign language education and research in China and advancing cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.// In order to build u p a strong team of publishing staff, as well as to meet the growing need of more technically deman ding business, the Group makes it a rule that young staff be selected and sent to noted universities and research institutions, both domestic and overseas,for further studies.// As is clearly spelled out in our new development strategy,we will go beyond our national boundaries and wedge ourselves i nto the world circulation market, aiming at the international readership. Our initial effort shave be en very rewarding.//
13.改革开放30 年来，随着中国逐渐崛起成为政治经济强国，海外人士学习汉语的现象与
日俱增，海外孔子学院也成了人们学习中国语言和中国文化的首选之地。// 通过学习汉语，他们对这个和自己文化大相径庭的古老文明产生了浓厚的兴趣，而且有机会了解中国的哲学、艺术、医学、饮食文化，亲身体验这个文明古国的风采。// 作为第二文化，中国文化也丰富了他们的生活和世界观。可以说，这个潮流方兴未艾。越来越多的学习汉语的美国人除了对中国菜肴赞不绝口之外，也在尝试针灸，草药和武术。//他们也看功夫电影，学习东方时装潮流和手工艺，不知不觉的在日常生活中谈及中国的点心，人参、银杏，乌龙茶等。目前在美国最热门的中国文化是道家学说和有着神秘色彩的风水学。As China is rising as a political and economic world power, thanks to its three-decade reform and opening up, more and more people in overseas countries start to learn Chinese and turn to a Confu cius Institute in their own countries as their first choice learning Chinese language and Chinese cul ture.// During the learning process, the learners concurrently develop their interest in this ancient l and, whose civilization is so vastly different from theirs. And the learners have opportunities to lea rn about Chinese philosophy, art, architecture, medicine and catering culture and experience first-h and the splendors of this venerable civilization.// As the second culture, Chinese culture has enrich ed the life and world outlook of the learners. This trend, so to speak, is gathering momentum and i s there to stay. Apart from their love for Chinese cuisine, more and more American learners of Chi nese language are turning to Chinese acupuncture ,herbal medicines, martial arts.// They are also i nterested in kongfu films,fashions and crafts. Seemingly outlandish words such as dim sum, ginse ng,gingko, oolong cha have crept into their everyday language. The latest Chinese cultural icons t o make its impact there are Taoism, and ancient school of thought, and fengshui, an ancient art of placement.//
14、上海菜系是中国最年轻的地方菜系，通常被成为“本帮菜”，有着400多年的历史。同中国其他菜系一样，“本帮菜”具有“色，香，味”三大要素。//上海菜的特点是注重调料的使用，食物的质地和菜的原汁原味。其中最著名的有特色点心“南翔小笼”和特色菜“松鼠鲑鱼”。//“南翔小笼”是猪肉馅，个小味美，皮薄汁醇。“松鼠鲑鱼”色泽黄亮，形如松鼠，外皮脆而内肉嫩，汤汁酸甜适口。//在品尝过“松鼠鲑鱼”之后，我们常常惊讶于“松鼠”的形状，觉得在三大评价标准上在添加“形”这个标准才更合适。// Shanghai cuisine , usually called Benbang cuisine, is the youngest among the major regional cuisi nes in China,with a history of more than 400 years. Like all other Chinese regional cuisines,Benba ng cuisines takes “color, aroma and taste” as its essential quality elements.//Shanghai cuisine emp hasizes in particular the expert use of seasonings, the selection of raw materials with quality textur e, and original flavors. Shanghai cuisine is famous for a special snack known as Nanxiang Steame d Meat Dumpling sand a special dish called “Squirrel-Shaped Mandarin Fish”.//Nanxiang Steame d Meat Dumplings are small in size, with thin and translucent wrappers, filled inside with ground pork and rich tasty soup.

15、美国人强调效率、竞争和独创性，而中国人则将严谨规划放在首位，鼓励团队成员之间的密切合作和无私奉献。//在美国学校，讨论享有至高无上的地位，讨论是课堂教学的主旋律；而中国教师喜欢讲课，喜欢考试，编写千篇一律的标准教案，培养整齐划一的高材生。//美国人的政治观，经济观以及社会观的核心是个人道德自治观。中国传统的思想体系是以儒家学说为基础的，这种思想强调整体和谐。//现在，中美联系比以往更加紧密，中国人学英语，玩保龄球，吃肯德基，美国人学汉语，练功夫，吃北京烤鸭，《泰坦尼克》驶进中国，《牡丹亭》也在百老汇上演。// American people emphasize efficiency,competition and originality while Chinese people give prio rity to careful planning and encourage close cooperation and altruistic dedication among team me mbers.//In American schools, discussion is given top priority while Chinese teachers like to lecture in class,and a lot of them are obsessed with examinations.

2019年6月大学英语六级翻译练习题：清明 英语六级翻译练习题：清明 清明是我国二十四节气(the twenty-four solar terms )之一，一般是在每年的4月4日至6日前后。人们庆祝清明节大约始于东周时代，距今已有两千五百多年的历史。清明过后，气温逐渐上升，雨水也增多，表明了这是农民开始安排农耕活动的关键时期。同时，清明也是郊游的大好时节，人们去户外踏青，并开展一系列消遣和体育活动。更重要的是，清明时节也是一个纪念祖先和已故亲人的日子。 参考翻译: Qingming Qingming is one of the twenty-four solar terms inChina, typically falling on April 4-6 each year.

Typical menus of Chinese banquetinclude cold dishes to start and the following hot ones. For example，meat, chicken, duck and vegetables. In most banquets, a whole fish dish is considered indispensable, unless various kinds of seafood have been served. Nowadays, Chinese people tend to mix Western specials with traditional Chinese cuisine. Thus, steak is not rare. Traditionally，although the Chinese do not eat any of theuncooked dishes，salads have also become popular. The banquet usually has at leasta bowl of soup that can be offered as the first or the final dish. Desserts and fruits usually mean the end of the feast. 城市化 2020年是中国城市化进程中的历史性时刻，其城市人口首次超过农村人口。在未来20年里，预计约有3.5亿农村人口将移居到城市。如此规模的城市发张对城市交通来说既是挑战，也是机遇。中国政府一直提倡“以人为本”的发张理念。强调人们以公交而不是私家车出行。它还号召建设“资源节约和环境友好型”社会。有了这个明确的目标，中国城市就能够更好地规划其发展，并把大量投资转向安全、清洁和经济型交通系统的发展上。 2020 was a historic moment in the process of urbanization in China as its population exceeded the rural population for the first time. In the next 20 years, about 350 million rural
2010 年6 月六级真题 Passage One 发达国家中只有两个国家不能保证提供用于照料新生儿的带薪休假。去年春天，这两个国家中的一个——澳大利亚——放弃了这种令人质疑的殊荣，建立了自2011 年起开始实施的带薪家庭休假制。在美国这并没有成为新闻，我并不感到意外——现在我们是唯一没有这项政策的富有国家。 美国确实有一个明确的家庭政策，这就是于1993 年通过的《家庭和医疗休假法》。它规定要照料新生儿或处理家庭医疗问题的工人有资格享受时间长达12 个星期的不带薪休假。尽管此法案带来的利益不明显，但当时商务部和其他一些商业团体都极力反对，称其为“政府负责的人事管理”和“危险的先例”。事实上，民主党领袖一直都致力于将能促进工作与家庭关系平衡的措施形成法律条文，但每一次的努力都遭到了商业团体的强烈反对。 正如耶鲁大学法学教授Anne Alstott 所辩解的那样，要肯定父母关爱的作用就要将家庭定义为一种社会商品，从某种意义上讲，社会要为此埋单。在她的书《无路可走：父母对孩子的亏欠以及社会对家长的亏欠》中，她认为父母在生活的多个方面都肩负重担：在谈到孩子的话题时，父母们“无路可走”：“社会希望也需要家长们能不间断地照看好他们的孩子，而且是人类用以开发智力、培养情感和树立道德的那种深度的、亲密无间的照看。社会还希望并需要父母们能坚守这一角色，18 年如一日，如有必要，甚至还可以更长。” 大部分父母出于爱都会照顾孩子，不照顾孩子的父母则会受到公众的处罚。换句话说，父母们所做的一切都是这个国家所密切关注的问题，原因很明显，照顾孩子不仅从道德上来说是迫切的而且对这个社会的未来至关重要。国家在大多数保障儿童福利的家庭法律中都认可了这一点，而父母们在履行社会所强加给他们的、会改变其命运的义务时得到的帮助却甚少。把养育孩子视为个人选择、集体没有责任的做法不仅仅忽视了良好家庭教育所产生的社会效益，而且会抹杀这部分社会效益，因为当今天的孩子成为明天的具有生产力的公民时这部分社会效益会属于整个社会。实际上，据估计父母对孩子投入的价值，包括时间和金钱的投入（包括失去的薪水）相当于国内生产总值的20%—30%。如果这些投入能够产生巨大的社会效益——很明显能产生——那么为家庭提供更多的社会支持所带来的效益将会更加显而易见。 Passage Two 塔夫茨大学公民学习和参与信息研究中心(CIRCLE)一份新的调查显示，现在有比以前更多的年轻人参与投票选举，美国发展中心2008 年的一份调查也表明越来越多的年轻选民和活动家开始支持传统的自由事业。但要看出这些调查数字在现实生活中的意义并非易事。在总统竞选期间，巴拉克·奥巴马以希望和改变为宣传口号组成了不同种族之间和不同意识形态之间人们的联盟。当新一届政府执政下的现实生活步入正轨的时候，有些支持者可能会大失所望。随着国家进一步走入奥巴马执政时代，参与政治的年轻人是会继续支持奥巴马及其施政议程还是会渐行渐远？ “O（奥巴马的简称）一代”是《新闻周刊》新开的一个博客，致力于记录那些支持奥巴马的年轻人的生活。“O 一代”的作者们想就上面的问题做出回答。未来的三个月，Michelle Kremer 和其他11 位年龄从19 岁到34 岁不等的奥巴马支持者将会用博客来记录美国社会的主流生活，一个不同之处在于：通过将他们所有的观点和经历与新任总统及其领导下的政府紧密结合，这些博客作者试图开启一场对话，探讨在当今美国，年轻并且在政治方面活跃到底意味着什么。24 岁的Malena Amusa 是该博客的一位作者，也是来自圣路易斯的一位舞者，她将这一项目看做是即时记录历史的一种方式。Amusa 今年春天为了完成其著作前往印度，后来又去塞内加尔教授英语，她和她的朋友一直在谈论奥巴马当政会如何改变他们的日常生活，她希望把其中的一些观点和她的全球性视角写到帖子里。她很兴奋，要看清楚世界，“我不必等上15 年”，她这样解释说。 Henry Flores 是圣玛丽大学的政治学教授，他将年轻一代的政治力量归因于他们对科技的拥护。“网络使他们接触到更多的思想，”他说，“不同地区想法相同的人们就会聚到一起。”这正是“O 一代”博主们所期待的事情。结果可能会出现一群年轻人，就像他们在二战后生育高峰期出生的父母一样，伴随一种强烈的目的感而成长，他们也会改变此前从“X 一代”人身上所继承下来的冷漠形象。由一群普通但有抱负的年轻人来管理博客是个不小的挑战，但“O 一代”的成员能胜任这项任务。
2020年大学英语六级翻译练习题4 中国的官方语言普通话在美国的学校中突然热起来。因为中国经济在21世纪的快速发展，美国的公立和私立学校纷纷在外语课程中加入汉语这个科目，或将已有的汉语教学项目实行扩展。据统计，在美国的学校中，有5万名孩子在学习汉语。但推动汉语项目的发展不是没有遇到困难。因为缺乏受过专业训练、持有证书的教师，一些学校很难加入汉语教学的竞争。当学校聘用教师时，它们通常直接从中国招聘，这种方式为文化冲突埋下了隐患。 【翻译词汇】 官方语言 official language 普通话 Mandarin 快速的 rapid 课程 curriculum (pl.curricula) 已有的 in place 缺乏 shortage 受过专业训练 professionally trained 证书 certificate 招聘 recruit 文化冲突 culture clash 【精彩译文】 Mandarin, the official language of China, is suddenly hot in American schoo ls.

According to the theory of five elements, the East belongs to mu, which means liveliness. Therefore, the East is a place where nature regulated and adjusted its procedures. This explains why important emperors made pilgrimages mostly to Mount Tai when they were crowned or in their later years. It is a symbol of loftiness and might, hence, there are the Chinese idioms：“as firm as Mount Tai” and“as weighty as Mount Tai”. Mount Tai was proclaimed world natural and cultural heritage by UNESCO in 1987. 词句点拨 泰山 Mount Tai 东岳 East Yue 五岳独尊 the most important mountain of the Five Holy Mountains 享誉 have a great reputation
