【原文】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，过中秋节的习俗与唐代早期在中国各地开始流行，中秋节在农历八月十五，是人们拜月的节日，这天夜晚皓月当空，人们合家团聚，共赏明月。2006年，中秋节被列为中国的文化遗产，2008年又被定为公共假日，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。 【参考译文】Since ancient times, the Chinese people usually celebrate harvest in the Mid- Autumn, which is similar to the custom of celebrating Thanksgiving in the North America. The tradition of celebrating Mid-Autumn festival became popular throughout China in the early Tang dynasty. The lunar August 15 is a day for people worshiping the moon. On this day, under the dazzling bright moon, families reunite and enjoy the moon’s beauty. In 2006, Mid- Autumn festival was listed as one of China’s cultural heritage, and in 2008, it was classified as a public holiday. Moon cakes, as indispensable delicious food of the festival, were gifts people sent to families and friends during the festival and usually eaten on family gatherings. There are characters of “longevity”,“good fortune”and “harmony”on the Traditional moon cakes. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage fr om Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 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。 参考译文： 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 剪纸（paper cutting）是中国最为流行的传统民间艺术形式之一。中国剪纸有一千五百多年的历史，在明朝和清朝时期（the Ming and Qing Dynasties）特别流行。人们常用剪纸美化居家环境。特别是在春节和婚庆期间，剪纸被用来装饰门窗和房间，以增加喜庆的气氛。剪纸最常用的颜色是红色，象征健康和兴旺。中国剪纸在世界各地很受欢迎，经常被用作馈赠外国友人的礼物 Paper cutting is one of China’s most popular traditional folk arts. Chinese paper cutting has a history of more than 1,500 years. It was widespread particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. People often beautify their homes with paper cuttings.

Chinese to English： 1. 玉器是光辉灿烂的中华民族历史文化宝库中一枝异彩独放的奇葩。中国玉器在新石器时代的河姆渡文化时期就开始出现。7000年来一直延续不断，发展至今。玉器在北欧、西欧、贝加尔湖等地的原始社会时期，以及南北美洲的印第安人和新西兰的毛里人都有制作，但都延续时间不长，无法与中国的玉器相提并论。悠久的制作历史，精湛的制作工艺，典雅的造型，绚丽的色彩，形成了中国玉器突出的民族特色。 Jade article is an exotic flower in Chinese brilliant historical culture. Chinese jade article have emerged since Neolithic Hemudu period 7000 years ago. Jade articles started to be manufactured in primitive Northern Europe, Western Europe and Baikal Lake, by Indian in Northern American and Maori in New Zealand. But those jade articles did not last long and can not be compared with those in China. Chinese jade article distinguished its ethnic features in long manufacture history, exquisite craftsmanship, elegant modeling and gorgeous colors. 2. “福”字表示好运，人们通常把它写在一张方形纸上，并倒着贴。因为在普通话里“倒”和“到”是同音字。因此倒贴的“福”字象征着春天和繁荣昌盛的到来。 福means good luck in Chinese, people usually write it on a square tree up side down. since in Chinese 到and 倒are homophones, and 倒means upside down, 到means coming, the upside down 福means the spring and prosperity is coming. 3. 二十四节气 1．立春2．雨水3．惊蛰4．春分5．清明6．谷雨7．立夏8．小满9．芒种10．夏至11．小暑12．大暑13．立秋14．处暑15．白露16．秋分17．寒露18．霜降19．立冬20．小雪21．大雪22．冬至23．小寒24．大寒 二十四节气The 24 Solar Terms: 立春Spring begins. 雨水The rains. 惊蛰Insects awaken. 春分Vernal Equinox 清明Clear and bright. 谷雨Grain rain. 立夏Summer begins. 小满Grain buds. 芒种Grain in ear.

Unit 1 Book3 中国传统节日 中国传统节日以中国的农历为依据。农历年的岁首称为春节，俗称“过年”，有祈年等多种习俗，是中国人民最隆重的传统节日，象征团结兴旺。其他主要的节日有元宵节、清明节、端午节、七夕节、中秋节、重阳节、冬至节、腊八节等等。各个节日都有其来源讲究和风俗习惯。农历节日与农历中的二十四节气不同。农历节日是中华民族凝聚力与生命力的体现。 Traditional Chinese Festivals Traditional Chinese festivals are usually fixed according to the lunar calendar. January 1st on lunar calendar has been designated as the Spring Festival (generally referred to as guonian). There are several customs during the Spring Festival, such as praying for a good harvest, etc. The Spring Festival is the most ceremonious traditional festival in China and symbolizes unity and prosperity. Some other significant Chinese festivals include the Lantern Festival, the Pure Bright Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Double-seventh Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Double-Ninth Festival, the Winter Solstice, and the Eighth Day of the Twelfth Lunar Month, etc. Each festival has its own unique origin and custom. These Chinese festivals that follow the lunar calendar are different from the 24 Solar Terms in the lunar calendar. They embody China’s cohesion and vitality. Unit 3 Book3 中国画 中国古代四大艺术“琴棋书画”的“画”特指国画。其绘画形式是毛笔蘸水、墨、颜料作画于绢、帛、宣纸之上，古代称之为水墨丹青。为区别于西方的油画而称之为“中国画”，简称“国画”。其题材有人物、山水、花鸟等。技法可分为工笔和写意。国画的艺术特质在于“笔墨”，强调以形写神，画尽意在。国画在艺术创作上反映了中华民族的审美意识和情趣。 Traditional Chinese Painting The four art forms in ancient China are guqin, chess, penmanship, and painting. And painting particularly refers to traditional Chinese painting. Traditional Chinese painting is done with a brush dipped into black or colored ink and is painted on silk or xuan paper. In ancient China, it was called “ink-painting”. In order to distinguish it from Western oil-paintings, the Chinese people term their works “traditional Chinese painting” (abbreviated to “Chinese painting”). The subjec t matters of Chinese paintings are typically figures, landscapes, birds and flowers. The drawing skills and techniques employed by the Chinese painters can be divided into two forms：
翻译练习 1． 春节是是中国的农历新年。在中国的传统节日中，这是一个最重要、最热闹的节日。中国人过春节有很多传统习俗。除夕之夜，是家人团聚的时候。一家人围坐在一起，吃一顿丰盛的年夜饭(New Year’s Eve dinner)，说说笑笑，直到天亮，这叫守岁（staying up to see the year out）。除夕零点的钟声一响，人们还要吃饺子。从初一开始，人们要走亲戚、看朋友，互相拜年（greet each other）。拜年，是春节的重要习俗。放爆竹（set off firecrackers）是春节期间孩子们最喜欢的活动。传说燃放爆竹可以驱妖除魔（drive off evil spirits）。 2． 农历八月十五（the 15th day of the eighth lunar month），是中国的传统节日中秋节（Mid-Autumn Festival）。这天晚上，天上的月亮又圆又亮。人们把圆月看作团圆美满的象征，所以中秋节又被称为“团圆节”( Festival for Reunion)。按照传统习惯，中国人要一边赏月(admire the moon) 一边品尝月饼。因为月饼是圆的，象征着团圆，所以有的地方叫它“团圆饼”。秋天，人们一年的劳动有了收获。中秋节的晚上，全家人坐在一起赏月、吃月饼，心里充满了丰收(bumper harvest) 的喜悦和团聚的欢乐。这时，远离家乡的人们也会仰望明月，思念故乡和亲人。 3． 英语中的“china”一词有两个意义，一个是中国，一个是瓷（porcelain）。西方人很早就把中国与瓷器联系在一起，这是因为瓷器是中国人发明的。瓷器是从陶器(pottery) 发展来的，如果从生产原始瓷器的商代（Shang Dynasty）算起，中国的瓷器大约有三千多年的历史了。江西景德镇被称为中国的“瓷都”(the Capital of Porcelain）。中国瓷器不仅是精美的日用品，也是珍贵的艺术品。自汉唐（Han and Tang dynasties）以来，中国瓷器就大量销往国外，中国的制瓷技术也逐渐传遍世界各地。

中国传统文化英语翻 译
1.香囊(scented sachet)，古代也称“香袋”，通常是用布缝制或彩色丝线编织的袋子，里面塞满香草(aromatic herbs)。香囊最初用来吸汗、驱虫和避邪。香囊不仅有用，而且可 作装饰品。它们的形状和大小各异，有圆形、椭圆形和其他形状。它们通常配有精致的图案，每个图案都象征着特别的含义。例如，双鱼或成对蝴蝶图案象征男女之爱;莲花或牡 丹花(peony flower)等图案象征女性;松树和仙鹤图案象征长寿;石榴(guava)图案象征很多 孩子。漂亮的香囊不仅是装饰品，而且含有丰富的文化和历史内涵。 翻译：Scented sachets, also called “fragrant bags” in ancient times, are bags usually sewed with cloth or weaved with multicolor silk threads and stuffed with aromatic herbs. The fragrant bags were originally used for absorbing sweat, repelling insects and warding off evils. Scented sachets are not only useful, but also ornamental. They come in different shapes and sizes, such as round, oval and many others. And they are normally decorated with elaborate patterns, with each pattern symbolizing a special meaning.For instance,a double-fish or double-butterfly pattern smybolizes the love between a man and a woman;patterns like lotus or peony flowers symbolize women;pine and crane patterns symbolize longevity and a guava pattern is the symbol of lots of children.A nice scented sachet is not just an ornament,but more of something that contains cultural and historical richness. 2.中国民间艺术与中国哲学统一于“阴阳(yin-yang)生万物”这一理念。这一理念源于中国原始社会，是对人类的人生感悟的哲学注解。中国人祖先的哲学论断是“近看自己，远观他人”。要理解中华民族民间艺术的原始艺术，这一结论必不可少。人类的本能欲望是生 存并通过繁衍(propagation)继续存在。人生来的首要本能是求生，然后是长寿。从原始社会到今天，阴阳和永生的观念始终贯穿中国的社会生活和民族文化。中国民间艺术反映了社会的所有基本哲学理念。 翻译：Chinese folk art and Chinese philosophy are unified in the belief that yin-yang produces all living things in the world. Originated in Chinese primitive society, this was the philosophical explanation of human's perception of life. Chinese ancestors philosophical conclusion was to “look at oneself up close and other creatures from afar”，which is essential to the understanding of the primitive art to the folk art of the nation. To live and to continue life through propagation are the two instinctive desires of human. From birth, a person's first instinct is to survive, and then to live a long life. From primitive society to the present day, the view of yin-yang and perpetual life has permeated in all aspects of social life and the national culture of Chinese society.Chinese folk art reflects all of the basic philosophical concepts. 3.象棋(Chinese chess)两人玩的棋盘游戏，源于春秋战国时期的军事战略。早期的象棋由三部分组成:棋子、骰(dice)和棋盘。现代象棋没有骰子,它在棋子和棋盘方面与古代不同。棋盘有9行宽、10行长，共90个交叉点，构成方形网格 (grid)。棋子在交叉点上落 子或移动。对弈者在棋盘进行象征性的军很战争，部署马匹、战车，根据自己对棋局和游戏规则的理解组织军队。目前，中国象棋已传至全世界，进一步传承、发扬中国传统文化。

具有中国文化特色词语的翻译研究 【摘要】近年来，各国主流媒体对富有中国文化特色词的翻译成为令人感兴趣的话题，不断引发网友及翻译工作者的关注。本项目旨在研究涉及中国文化特色词的翻译方法，为译者能够更好地翻译中国文化特色词提供参考指导，促进中国特色文化的输出和传播。 【关键词】中国文化特色词语翻译 愈来愈多的西方学者意识到中国不再是“失声的中国”，中国文化的强势，让他们把目光转移到汉语研究上，随着中国与世界各国关系的友好和融洽，以及国外孔子学院的遍地开花，掀起了一股又一股“中华热”与“汉语热”。我们应该把握契机，加强中国文化的对外传播，促进与各国人民和民族的交流，使其他民族更加深刻地了解中国，从而，促使世界各国之间的和谐发展。从这方面来讲，中国文化特色词语的翻译研究无疑是介绍中国最直接的表达方式。 虽然，我国翻译界在这个领域的研究已经取得了丰硕的成果，但是，具有中国文化特色词语的翻译无论是理论研究还是翻译实践都还存在着诸多不尽人意的地方。具有中国特色的新词语反映了我国特有的事物和现象，蕴含中国民族特色，其翻译具有自身的特殊性，即具有“实效性、创造性和不可替换性”等特点。因此，相对应的英译几乎没有任何先例可供借鉴，这就需要译者的独创。同时，由于外译的需要，新词语翻译的实效性就显得尤为重要。但由于译文的受众目标，多为母语为非汉语的外国读者，因此，信息的反馈比较滞后，难以针对读者的接受度对问题译词进行改译或打磨润色，错译、误译就在所难免。因此，具有中国文化特色词语的翻译理论及其策略研究还有很大的不足，值得我们不断地去打磨和探索，用承优和创新的精神去填补空白。 一、中国文化特色词语的概念及内涵 中国文化特色词是中国英语研究中相当重要的一部分。中国文化特色词是表达中国文化中的特有事物，其中蕴藏着中国千百年文化的内涵，即发源于中国，基于中国特色文化、社会、人文环境等所产生，仅存在于中国的事物、事件等的词汇。中国文化特色词指中国语言独有的语言表达形式，包括一些概念、政治术语、短语和汉语民族文化特色鲜明的词语等。或者，所谓中国文化特色词，是相对于普通词汇和外语词汇而言的，是汉语语言文化中独特的语言现象，或者说它是在中外文化交流过程中突显出来的。当中国的文化传出中国走向世界的时候，这些中国文化特色词要不失原味的被翻译成外语并被外国人所接受。
