1 大学课堂:还有人在听吗?A former teacher of mine, Robert A.Fowkes of New York University, likes to tell the story of a class he took in Old Welsh while studying in Germany during the 1930s.On the first day the professor strode up to the podium, shuffled his notes, coughed, and began, ―Guten Tag, Meine Damen und Herren‖(―Good day, ladies and gentlemen‖).Fowkes glanced around uneasily. He was the only student in the course.1.纽约大学的Robert A.Fowkes 是我过去的一位老师。
他喜欢讲在上世纪30年代他在德国上古威尔士语课的故事。
第一天上课,教授大步走上讲台,翻了翻笔记,咳嗽了一声,开始说道:“早上好,女士们、先生们。
”Fowkes 不安地扫视一番。
他是上这门课的惟一学生。
Toward the middle of the semester, Fowkes fell ill and missed a class. When he returned, the professor nodded vaguely and, to Fowkes's astonishment, began to deliver not the next lecture in the sequence but the one after. Had he, in fact, lectured to an empty hall in the absence of his solitary student? Fowkes thought it perfectly possible2.在学期中间,Fowkes 因病缺了一次课。
Unit 1●翻译:(黑体的汉字表示与教师用书不同,斜体的汉字表示重点翻译不要遗漏)passion, wisdom, altruism, insight, creativity—sometimes only the trials of adversity canfoster these qualities, because sometimes only drastic situations can force us to take on the painful process of change. (Para.6)慈悲、智慧、无私、洞察力及创造力——有时只有经历逆境的考验才能培育这些品质,因为有时只有极端的情形才能迫使我们去承受痛苦的改变过程。
2.In that moment, our sense of invulnerability is pierced, and the self-protective mental armorthat normally stands between us and our perceptions of the world is torn away. (Para.12) 在事情发生的那一瞬间,我们的安全感被冲破了,平时处于我们与我们对世界的种种看法之间的自我保护的精神盔甲被剥离了。
toto put aside their personal pleasure in order to care for the baby.Unit 4●翻译:1.Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caughtup in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend hours strolling th rough long stretches of prose. (Para.1)过去总是不费什么劲儿就能让自己沉浸在一本书或者一篇长文章中,被其中的叙述或不同的论点深深吸引。
如果谦逊的人能成为最好的领导者,为什么我们会爱上有魅力的自恋者?1.研究很清楚:当我们选择谦逊、不摆架子的人作为我们的领导者,我们周围的世界就会变得更好。
2.从长远来看,谦逊的领导者能提高公司的业绩,因为他们创造了更多的协作环境。
他们对自己的优点和缺点都有一个平衡的看法,并对他人的优点和贡献有强烈的欣赏,同时对新的想法和反馈持开放的态度。
这些“无名英雄”帮助他们的信任者们建立自尊,胜过他们的期望,并创建一个归属感,把个人的努力引导成一个有组织的团体,为集体的利益而工作。
3.例如,联合研究中心的一项研究调查了计算机软件和硬件行业的105家中小型公司。
研究结果显示,当一位谦逊的CEO执掌一家公司时,其高层管理团队更有可能合作和分享信息,最大限度地利用公司的人才。
4.另一项研究表明,领导者的谦逊具有传染性:当领导者表现谦逊时,追随者就会效仿他们谦逊的态度和行为。
对161个研究团队的一项研究发现,追随谦逊领导的员工更有可能承认自己的错误和局限性,通过将赞扬转移到他人身上来分享聚光灯,并对新想法、建议和反馈持开放态度。
5.然而,我们并没有追随这些无名英雄的脚步,而是似乎天生就在寻找超级英雄:那些过分赞美且散发着魅力的领袖。
6.在希腊语中,Kharisma的意思是“神圣的礼物”,而魅力是指具有非凡魅力、吸引力和存在感的品质,使一个人能够以热情和奉献精神激励他人。
德国社会学家马克斯•韦伯(Max Weber)将魅力定义为“神圣的起源或模范,在此基础上,相关的个人被视为领导者。
”关于魅力型领导的研究证据表明,魅力型的人更有可能被认可为领导者,因为他们精力充沛、非常规行为和英雄事迹。
7.虽然魅力有助于促成积极的大规模转变,但魅力型领导也可能有“黑暗面”。
杰伊·康格(Jay Conger)和拉宾德拉·卡农戈(Rabindra Kanungo)在他们的著作中这样描述:“有魅力的领导者可能倾向于极端自恋,这导致他们推动高度利己和宏伟的目标。
Presenting a speech(做演讲)Of all human creations, language may be the most remarkable. Through在人类所有的创造中,语言也许是影响最为深远的。
我们用语言language we share experience, formulate values, exchange ideas, transmit来分享经验,表达(传递?)价值观,交换想法,传播知识,knowledge, and sustain culture. Indeed, language is vital to think itself.传承文化。
事实上,对语言本身的思考也是至关重要的。
[Contrary to popular belief], language | does not simply mirror reality butalso helps to create our sense of reality [by giving meaning to events].和通常所认为的不同的是,语言并不只是简单地反映现实,语言在具体描述事件的时候也在帮助我们建立对现实的感知。
——语序的调整。
Good speakers have respect for language and know how it works. Words are the tools of a speaker’s craft. They have special uses, just like the tools of any other profession. As a speaker, you should be aware of the meaning of words and know how to use language accurately, clearly,vividly,and appropriately.好的演讲者对语言很重视,也知道如何让它发挥更好的效果。
研究生英语综合教程(下)系列教材翻译参考译文[unit1-unit6]Unit 1愉悦舒适不能指引你领略人生的全部,与逆境的艰苦搏斗常常会使人生变得丰富而有意义。
幸福隐藏的另一面凯思琳•麦克高恩1飓风、房屋失火、癌症、激流漂筏失事、坠机、昏暗小巷遭歹徒袭击,没人想找上这些事儿。
但出人意料的是,很多人发现遭受这样一次痛苦的磨难最终会使他们向好的方面转变。
他们可能都会这样说:“我希望这事没发生,但因为它我变得更完美了。
”2我们都爱听人们经历苦难后发生转变的故事,可能是因为这些故事证实了一条真正的心理学上的真理,这条真理有时会湮没在无数关于灾难的报道中:在最困难的境况中,人所具有的一种内在的奋发向上的能力会迸发出来。
对那些令人极度恐慌的经历作出积极回应的并不仅限于最坚强或最勇敢的人。
实际上,大约半数与逆境抗争过的人都说他们的生活从此在某方面有了改善。
3诸如此类有关危机改变一生的发现有着可观的研究前景,这正是创伤后成长这一新学科的研究领域。
这一新兴领域已经证实了曾经被视为陈词滥调的一个真理:大难不死,意志弥坚。
创伤后压力绝不是唯一可能的结果。
在遭遇了即使最可怕的经历之后,也只有一小部分成年人会受到长期的心理折磨。
更常见的情况是,人们会恢复过来—甚至最终会成功发达.4那些经受住苦难打击的人是有关幸福悖论的生动例证:为了尽可能地过上最好的生活,我们所需要的不仅仅是愉悦的感受。
我们这个时代的人对幸福的追求已经缩小到只追求福气:一生没有烦恼,没有痛苦和困惑。
5这种对幸福的平淡定义忽略了问题的主要方面——一种富有意义的生活所带来的那种丰富、完整的愉悦。
那就是幸福背后隐藏的那种本质——是我们在明智的男男女女身上所欣赏到并渴望在我们自己生活中培育的那种不可言喻的品质。
事实证明,一些遭受苦难最多的人——他们被迫全力应付他们未曾预料到的打击,并重新思考他们生活的意义——或许对那种深刻的、给人以强烈满足感的人生经历(哲学家们过去称之为对“美好生活”的探寻)最有发言权。
广东外语外贸大学2003年硕士研究生入学考试英语写作与翻译T ask 1: Summary Writing (40%)Directions:Read carefully the following passage and summarize its contents in 100-120 words. Note that you must not copy complete sentences directly from the original. Failure to do so would inc ur deduction of your scores.PassageKilling for SportIt wouldn’t be quite true to say that “some of my best friends are hunters.” Still, I do number among my respected acquaintances some who not only kill for the sake of killing but count it among their keenest pleasures. And I can think of no better illustration of the fact that men may be separated at some point by fathomless abyss yet share elsewhere much common ground. To me, it is inconceivable that anyone can think an animal more interesting dead than alive, I can also easily prove, to my own satisfaction, that killing “for sport” is the perfect type of that pure evil for which metaphysicians have sometimes sought.Most wicked deeds are done because the doer proposes some good for himself. The liar lies to gain some end; the swindler and the thief want things which, if honestly got, might be good in themselves. Even the murderer is usually removing some impediment to normal desires. Though all of these are selfish or unscrupulous, their deeds are not gratuitously evil. But the killer for sport seems to have no such excusable motive. He seems merely to prefer death to life, darkness to light. He seems to get nothing other than the satisfaction of saying: “Something which wanted to live is dead. Because I can bring terror and agony, I assure myself that I have power. Because of me there is that much less vitality, consciousness and perhaps joy in the universe. I am the spirit that denies.” When a man wantonly destroys one of the works of man, we call him “V andal.” When he wantonly destroys one of the works of God, we call him “Sportsman.”The hunter-for-food may be as wicked and as misguided as vegetarians sometimes say, but he does not kill for the sake of killing. The ranchers and the farmers who exterminate all living things not immediately profitable to them may sometimes be working against their own best interests; but whether they are or not, they hope to achieve some supposed good by the exterminations, if to do evil, not in the hope of gain but for evil’s sake, involves the deepest guilt by which man can be stained, then killing for killing’s sake is a terrifying phenomenon and as strong a proof as we could have of the “reality of evil” with which present-day theologians are again concerned.T ask 2: Interpretation of Graphical Information and essay writing (60%)Directions:The relationship between the degree of participation in physical exercises during senior high school years and academic achievements after graduation is investigated.

He needs no bulky pile of raw material, no elaborate apparatus, no service of men or animals. He is dependent for his occupation upon no one but himself, and nothing outside him that matters.

研究生翻译讲义资料(汉译英)第7篇人口迅速增长对国家的社会和经济发展、资源利用和环境保护提出了挑战,以致生活水平和人口质量迟迟不能提高。
为了保障人们起码的生活条件,使公民富裕起来,中国惟一正确的选择就是努力发展经济,调整人口增长,以适应国家社会和经济的发展。
鉴于目前情况,中国政府制定了控制数量、提高质量的人口政策和晚婚晚育、少生优生、每家一个孩子的生育政策。
农村缺劳力的困难户可以生第二胎,两胎间隔要在三年或三年以上。
The rapidly increasing population presents a great challenge to the country's social and economic development, the utilization of resources and environmental protection, and delays the improvement of living standards and the quality of the people. In order to guarantee its people’s minimum living conditions and enable citizens to become better of, the only correct choice that China can make is to strive for economic growth and adjust its population growth to the country's social and economic development.In view of the present situation, the Chinese government has formulated a population of controlling the size and raising the quality of the population and a family planning policy of late marriage and childbirth, having fewer but healthier babies, and one child per family.

不胜感激!The relationship that science keeps with art has long been from one-sided wish. That is, while science is in deep love with art, art requites this love by being arrogant and unapproachable. Many renowned scientists love art all their lives. They know art, and are very good at getting fulfillment from art to enhance their noble spirit or to help relieve themselves from burdens of life. On the contrary, few of literary artists love and understand natural science and engineering technology. Among the reasons why artists stand in awe before science or keep a respectful distance from science, one is that science involves a huge stack of abstruse mathematical formulas. However, leaving aside mathematics and bypassing a stack of recondite knowledge, we are still able to understand and appreciate the basic principles of a science. It is just like we are still able to give a sympathetic response to its main melody, greatly admiring the music although we can read nothing of the score of Mozart’s musical pieces.的关系,科学与艺术保持长久以来一直是片面的愿望。

2. Translate the following paragraphs into English.English is attached great importance in China where English training market is in full swing with so many training centers appearing. Many Chinese, old and young, have made learning English an important part of their daily life. Even preschoolers can remember hundreds of English words. However, behind this globalization is people’s deep concern for Chinese traditional culture.Fortunately, recent years have witnessed a surge of “back-to-the-ancients schools”. It’s said that “knowledge makes a gentleman’. The study of Chinese traditional culture and the reading of Chinese classics exposes students to a wide range of information and makes them well rounded. However, some people are still on the fence, and are ambivalent towards “back-to-the-ancients schools” because they consider this ancient wisdom to be out of tune with the times. In contrast, the Confucius Institute --- that promotes Chinese language and culture, supports local Chinese teaching internationally, and facilitates culture exchange --- has been popular worldwide. By the end of 2012, 400 Confucius Institutes and 535 Confucius Classrooms had been established in 108 countries and regions.课文翻译倚触而学海伦·凯勒1 我生命中最重要的日子是我的老师安妮·曼斯菲尔德·莎莉文到来的那一天。

余光中 回信,固然可畏,不回信,也绝非什么乐事。书架上经常叠着百多封未回之信,“债龄”或长或短, 长的甚至一年以上, 那样的压力,也绝非一个普通的罪徒所能负担的。一叠未回的信,就像一群不散的阴魂,在我罪深孽重的心底幢幢作祟。理论上说来,这些信当然是要回的。我可以坦然向天发誓,在我清醒的时刻,我绝未存心不回人信。问题出在技术上。给我一整个夏夜的空闲,我该先回一年半前的那封信呢,还是七个月前的这封信?隔了这么久,恐怕连谢罪自谴的有效期也早过了吧。在朋友的心目中,你早已沦为不值得计较的妄人。“莫名其妙!”是你在江湖上一致的评语。
其实,即使终于鼓起全部的道德勇气,坐在桌前,准备偿付信债于万一,也不是轻易能如愿的。七零八落的新简旧信,漫无规则地充塞在书架上,抽屉里,有的回过,有的未回,“只在此山中,云深不知处”,要找到你决心要回的那一封,耗费的时间和精力,往往数倍于回信本身。再想象朋友接信时的表情,不是喜出望外,而是余怒重炽,你那一点决心就整个崩溃了。你的债,永无清偿之日。不回信,绝不等于忘了朋友,正如世上绝无忘了债主的负债人。在你惶恐的深处,恶魇的尽头, 隐隐约约, 永远潜伏着这位朋友的怒眉和冷眼,不,你永远忘不了他。你真正忘掉的,而且忘得那么心安理得,是那些已经得到你回信的朋友。
我的译文: An Excerpt from Unanswered Letters 此文档收集于网络,如有侵权请联系网站删除 此文档仅供学习和交流 vs Unbounded Friendship By Yu Guangzhong Answering letters does make me flinch; however, not answering them allows me no release at all. Dozens of unanswered letters pile up on my bookshelf, like a sum of debt waiting to be paid. Some have been waiting there for over one year, while some have newly arrived. The pressure from paying off that debt is far beyond what a junior debtor can endure. The stack of unanswered letters are, like a group of haunting ghosts, continually pestering my guilt-loaded soul. Generally, the letters will certainly be replied to. I can even swear by heaven that never do I have the intention not to reply when my mind is clear. The problem is how to reply. Even if I spared myself a whole summer night, I would be wavering on which letter to reply to first, the 18-month-old one or the 7-month-old? The reply has been delayed for so long that I’m afraid even heartfelt apology and self-accusation have already become overdue. In friends’ heart, I’ve been marginalized as a cocky man unworthy of care. “Unaccountable”! That is their unanimous comment on me.
In fact, even though I pull myself together and settle down at the desk, ready to pay off the debt, my determination will easily be split up by doubts. Old and new letters, answered or yet-to-be, cram the shelf and the drawer in disorder, which reminds me of two verses: “He’s simply in the very mountain. In the depths of clouds, his whereabouts are unknown.” (from Calling on a Hermit in Vain by Jia Dao). Picking out the letter I decide to answer from such a mess will cost as multiplied time and energy as answering the letter does. Moreover, on visualizing the facial expression of friends when they receive the reply — rekindled lingering anger rather than surprised delight — my tiny amount of determination dwindle into naught. Consequently, the date when my debt is paid off extends into eternity. Although I haven’t answered the letters, I can never forget my friends, any more than a debtor can forget his creditor. In the depth of my disturbed and apologetic heart looms the indelible angry and icy look of my friends. Never can I forget them. Friends who really fall into oblivion, from which guilt is totally absent, are those who have received my reply.
David Pollard的译文: 此文档收集于网络,如有侵权请联系网站删除 此文档仅供学习和交流 Thus Friends Absent Speak Written by Yu Guangzhong and Translated by David Pollard If it is conceded that replying to letters is to be dreaded, on the other hand not replying to letters is by no means a matter of unalloyed bliss. Normally a hundred or so letters are stacked on my bookshelf, of diverse maturity of debt outstanding, the longest being over a year. That kind of pressure is more than an ordinary sinner can bear. A stack of unanswered letters battens on me like a bevy of plaintive ghosts and plays havoc with my smitten conscience. In principle the letters are there for replying to. I can swear in all honesty that I have never while of sound mind determined not to answer people’s letters. The problem is a technical one. Suppose I had a whole summer night at my disposal: should I first answer the letter that was sent eighteen months ago, or that one that was sent seven months ago? After such a long delay even the expiry date for apology and self-recrimination would surely have passed? In your friends’ eyes, you have already stepped beyond the pale, are of no account. On the grapevine your reputation is “that impossible fellow”.
Actually even if you screw up all your moral courage and settle down at you desk to pay off your letter debt come what may, the thing is easier said than done. Old epistles and new missives are jumbled up together and stuffed in the drawers or strewn on shelves; some have been answered, some not. As the poet was told about the recluse he was looking for: “I know he’s in these mountains, but in this mist I can’t tell where.” The time and energy you would spend to find the letter you have decided to answer would be several times that needed to write the reply itself. If you went on to anticipate that your friend’s reaction to receiving your letter would be less “surprised by joy” than “resentment rekindled”, then your marrow would turn to water, and your debt would never be cleared.
