Translation: Lending a Birthday (Li Xiang)

(translated by: alexcwlin; edited by: Adam Lam)

早晨,小云醒来一看,枕头边放着一只可爱的布熊。

One morning, Little Yun woke up and saw a cloth teddy bear was lying beside her pillow.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

妈妈走过来,祝小云生日快乐。

Her mother came over and wished Little Yun a happy birthday.

小云问妈妈:“您怎么从来不过生日?”

Little Yun asked Mother: “Why don’t you ever have a birthday?”

妈妈笑着说:“我忘了。”

Mother smiled and said: “I forgo t.”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

吃过早饭,妈妈要去上班,

After breakfast, Mother had to go to work.

拿起包一看,

She picked up her handbag and took a look.

里面装着一只布熊。

There was a cloth teddy bear inside it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

她正要往外拿,小云跑过来按住妈妈的手,说:“妈妈,这个布熊是我送您的生日礼物。

Just when she was going to take the teddy bear out of the handbag, Little Yun ra n over, stopped Mother’s hand in mid-motion and said: “Mother, this cloth teddy-bear is (1c) my gift to you for your birthday.

您总是忘了自己的生日,

You always forget your own birthday.

今天我把生日借给您!”

Today I am lending you my birthday (1d).”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

附注:

(1)时态

中文动词本身看不到是过去、现在还是将来发生的。

比如说:“我做完功课。”我们从这“做”字看不出何时发生。

但英文不同了。

“I finished my homework.”—过去某时间做完功课。

“I have finished my homework.”—刚刚做完功课。

“I will finish my homework.”—将来某时间将会做完功课。

让我们迅速看一下这里用的动词:

(a) 整体来说,这里是叙述一项过去发生的,所以用的是过去式 (Past Tense).

(b) 在小云引号里面的对话,是用现在式 (Present Tense).

(c) “is”在这里是连系动词 (Linking Verb),后面“my gift”是前面“cloth-teddy-bear”的特质,即“布熊”等于“我的礼物”。

值得留意是“teddy bear”是第三身单数,所以用“is”, 若是“teddy bears”第三身复数会用“are”, 英文文法规则叫“主题动词一致—Subject/Verb Agreement”,将来会见到更多的例子。

(d) “I am lending my birthday to you”是现在进行式 (Present Continuous Tense, 也是称为 Present Progressive Tense), 顾名思义是正在进行的。

其他的将来再谈。

文化对比与翻译

1.为什么说跨文化交流是挑战? 跨文化交流是一个来自不同文化背景的人交流的场合。这种交流的要点和特点是什么呢?答案就在极度不同的交流者身上。文化多样性使得跨文化非常难在某些情况下几乎不可能。 2.什么使得跨文化交流比以前更普遍? 新技术和信息系统,世界人口的变化和全球经济的快速发展使得跨文化交流更普遍。 3.人口的快速增长带来了什么? 世界必须认识到生命所需要的资源是有限的,协商自然资源的有限和避免摩擦是跨文化交流的目标,有限的自然资源成为国际间需要理解的另一个原因。必须合作解决环境问题,环境危机造成了一系列触及所有文化的问题。国家之间的冲突也是需要有效交流的又一个重要原因。 4.什么是主流文化? 在每个社会,都有主流文化。主流文化奠定整个文化的基调。有话语权的人是那些历史上掌权,现在仍然掌权的人,在文化里的这些主要的机构有:教堂,政府,教育机构,部队,媒体,金融系统等等。 5. 分析一下美国的四种支流文化:拉美,非洲美国人,亚洲美国人和穆斯林美国人。 拉丁美国人是美国人口增长最快的人群。在2000,将近3千2百8十万人,占美国人口的12%,其中66%根在墨西哥。两年后,人口增加到3千6百万。尽管在美国的拉丁人来自不同的国家,两个问题影响了这个支流文化和美国社会交流的质量:非法移民和英语做为国家语言。首先,许多主流文化的人讨厌以合法或非法进入美国的成千上百万的拉丁人。从一个地区大量的移民导致了封锁同墨西哥的边界到一个对墨西哥非常严厉的移民政策。可以听到很多反拉丁的观点。其次,许多拉丁人保留了他们的本国语言而没有用英语。大量的西语人导致了对这个群体用西班牙语。不管是在大小市场里,西语的广播和印刷品蓬勃发展。政治领域也认可西语的重要性。许多政界人士也在通过建立许多西语的设施来寻求西语人的支持。 非洲美国人在2000年是3460万,占美国总人口的12%。在1964年民权法之前,非洲美国人和美国主流文化的人的接触很少。从那以后,两个群体接触频繁了。事实常常是,当两种多样的文化接触时,不是所有的接触都是成功的。这些问题中心是两点,一个是种族主义。许多非洲美国人认为种族主义造成了他们和主流文化的经济差异。有人说,种族造成了美国工作,教育,居住区的差异,至少在波士顿,亚特兰大,底特律和洛杉矶的城市地区是这样。第二,白人和非洲美国人不断争论在法律和教育界种族主义起到的角色亚洲美国人,特别是祖先是中国和日本的,自从19世纪末期就一直在美国。近来的统计数据表明有超过1020万人说他们祖先来自亚洲。是最近来的一些人造成了最难的语言问题。想象,一个来自泰国的难民的安置,四岁来到美国,从文化上来说,她既不是纯粹亚洲人也不是纯粹美国人。她在家说泰语,和朋友说英语,对自己的还在说两种语言。不仅是他们本人觉得远离自己的祖国和文化在美国生活很难,而且和与他们打交道的人也面临着交流难题。 穆斯林美国人据估计有600到700万,还在稳定增长。他们有着不断增长和成熟的社区,有1200个清真寺。这支支流文化的快速增长不仅是我们讨论唯一原因,还因为美国卷入伊拉克战争后发生了一些事情后有一些关于这支文化错误信息。1960年代移民到美国的

翻译中国文化和历史

翻译(一)、中国文化和历史 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 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. 2、端午节,又叫龙舟节,是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣(minister),他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤(vilify)而最终投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方,抛下粽子,希望鱼儿吃粽子,不要吃屈原的身躯。几千年来,端午节的特色在于吃粽子(glutinous dumplings)和赛龙舟,尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。 ? The Duanwu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified. People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water, hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan’s body. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. 3、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 themajor regional cuisines in China, with a history of more than 400 years.

中国文化习俗方面的段落翻译 2

中国文化习俗方面的段落翻译 一 春节贴年画(pasting New Year Prints)的风俗源自于往房子外面的门上贴门神(Door Gods)的传统。随着木质雕刻品的出现,年画包含了更广泛的主题,最出名的就是门神,三大神—福神、薪神和寿神(Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity),寓意着庄稼丰收、家畜兴旺和庆祝春节。年画的四大产地分别是苏州桃花坞,天津杨柳青,河北武强和山东潍坊。现在中国农村仍然保持着贴年画的传统,而在城市里很少有人贴年画。 The custom of pasting New Year Prints in Spring Festival originated from the tradition of pasting Door Gods on the external doors of the houses. With the creation of board carvings, New Year paintings cover a wide range of subjects. The most famous ones are Door Gods and Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity, signifying the abundant harvest of crops, the prosperity of domestic animals and the celebration of Spring Festival. Four producing areas of New Year Prints are Taohuawu of Suzhou, Yangliuqing of Tian Jing, Wuqiang of Hebei and Weifang of Shandong. Now the tradition of pasting New Year paintings is still kept in rural China, while it is seldom followed in cities. 二. 在中国,小孩的满月酒(one-month-old feast)和抓周(one-year-old catch)仪式独具特色。小孩出生满一个月的那天,孩子的家人一般要招呼亲朋好友,邀请他们一起来庆祝孩子满月。小孩满周岁的那天,有抓周的仪式。按照中国的传统,父母及他人不给予孩子任何的引导或暗示,任孩子随意挑选,看他先抓什么,后抓什么,并以此为依据来预测孩子可能存在的志趣和将从事的职业及前途。 In China, one-month-old Feast and One-Year-Old Catch of a baby are of unique Chinese characteristics. On the day when a baby is a month old, the family of the baby will invite their friends and relatives to a ceremony to celebrate the occasion. On the day when a baby is one year old, there is a ceremony of One-Year-Old Catch. According to Chinese traditional custom, nobody will give any instruction or clue to the baby so that it is left free to choose by itself. Watching the baby catch the articles it likes, the family can then make predictions about its potential interest, future career
