Chinese parents have frequently tended to pay too much attention to their children's study, so that children don’t help them do the housework. Their only requirement for their children is to study hard, perform well in the exams, and go to a famous/prestigious university. They believe it is good for their children, because in such a highly competitive society, only good results could ensure a promising future. Chinese parents also believe that parents will be honored if their children can achieve great success in society. Therefore, they are willing to sacrifice their own time, hobbies and interests, to create much better conditions for children.Lijiang, an ancient town of Yunnan Province, is one of the most famous tourist destinations. Its pace of life is slower than that of most cities of China. There are many natural beauties everywhere in Lijiang and many ethnical minorities provide tourists with a great variety of cultural experience. Lijiang is also well-known as the "city of love" in history. Many stories about life and dying for love have spreaded widely among the locals. Nowadays, for tourists home and abroad, the ancient town is regarded as a paradise of love and romance.The Annual Chinese Speech Contest for Foreigners was held in Changsha this year. The contest was proved to be a good way to promote cultural exchanges between China and other regions all over the world. It provides an opportunity for young people around the world to understand China better.A total of 126 players from 87 countries gathered in the capital of Hunan province to participate in the semi-final and the final from July 6th to August 5th.Competition is not the only activity. Players also have a chance to visit famous and historical attractions in other parts of China.第一套:中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。
英语四级翻译真题及答案英语四级翻译真题(一):红色在中国文化中,红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福,在春节和其他喜庆场合,红色到处可见。
人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋友时,通常放在红信封里。
红色在中国流行的另一个原因是人们把它与中国革命和共产党相联系。
然而,红色并不总是代表好运与快乐。
因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写,用红墨水写中国人名被看成是一种冒犯行为。
参考译文:The color of red in Chinese culture usually means good luck, longevity and happiness. Red can be found everywhere during Chinese Spring Festival and other joyous occasions. Cashes often in red envelopes are sent to family members or close friends as gifts. Its popularity can also be attributed the fact that people accociate it with Chinese revolution and Communist Party. However, it does not always equal to good luck and joy in that the name of the dead used to be written in red. Using red ink to write names of Chinese people were seen as an offense.英语四级翻译真题(二):白色随着中国的改革开放,如今很多年轻人都喜欢举行西式婚礼。
新娘在婚礼上穿着白色婚纱,因为白色被认为是纯洁的象征。

考拉进阶CET-4历年真题阅读译文(2014.12—2010.06)2014年12月四级真题(第一套)Passage One纽约人渐渐习惯了更多的人骑着闪亮的蓝色花旗自行车。
但当地的自行车商店怎么看呢?花旗自行车是不是在使它们受损的情况下来增加骑行的人呢?在翠贝卡区的Gotham Bikes,经理W. Ben说,该店的整体销量因自行车共享计划而上升。
“它让更多的人上路,”他说。
格拉姆西区Danny’s Cycles的雇员James Ryan也说花旗自行车是一个不错的选择,它让人们逐步适应在一个以交通堵塞和野蛮司机闻名的城市里骑车。
“他们不用买自行车就可以试骑,”他说。
租赁既不是Gotham Bikes也不是Danny’s Cycles的主营业务。
但对Frank’s Bike Shop ——电商网站Grand St.上的一个小店——来说,自行车共享计划却是坏消息。
店主Frank Arroyo说,自从上个月花旗自行车正式推出,他的租赁业务下降了90%。
Arroyo的主要租客是欧洲游客,他们从此就被花旗自行车吸引走了。
然而Ben说,自行车共享对他的店铺的自行车销售来说却是有益的。
“人们用了自行车共享并意识到在城市里骑自行车有多棒,然后决定为自己买更好的自行车,”他指出。
Waterfront Bicycle Shop位于克里斯多福街以北的西街,该店的Christian Farrell 说,他最初很担忧自行车共享,但他承认,“我很高兴看到人们骑自行车。
”Andrew Crooks有着和Farrell早期一样的担忧。
他是位于第二大街64号的NYC Velo 的店主。
“它看起来是一个好主意,但却很难实施,”Crooks这样评价花旗自行车。
他说他很担忧经验不足的骑行者缺乏对骑行规定的认识以及来自不骑车的人的强烈反对。
然而,他说,现在说他的生意受到影响还为时尚早。
虽然自行车共享很可能会造成生意下滑,但Crooks承认,这种想法对纽约市来说是向前迈出了积极的一步。
中国应进一步发展核能,因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2%。
该比例在所有核国家中居第30位,几乎是最低的。
2011年3月日本核电站事故后,中国的核能开发听了下来,中止审批新的核电站,并开展全国性的核安全检查。
到2012年10月,审批才又谨慎地恢复。
随着技术和安全措施的改进,发生核事故的可能性完全可以降到最低程度。
换句话说,核能是可以安全开发和利用的。
China should further develop nuclear energy, because nuclear power currently account for only 2% of its total generating capacity. The proportion ranks the 30th among all countries processing nuclear energy, which is almost the lowest.China’s nuclear power development stopped after the nuclear power station accident in Japan in March, 2011. The approval of new nuclear power plans was suspended, and the nationwide nuclear energy safety inspection started. It wasn’t until October, 2012 that examination an approval was restored cautiously.With the technology and safety measures, the possibility of nuclear accidents can definitely be minimized. In other words, the nuclear energy can be exploited and utilized safely.越来越多的中国年轻人正对旅游产生兴趣,这是近年来的新趋势。

2020年大学英语四级考试翻译试题及答案(1)聘金(endowment)是中国传统习俗的一部分。
通常,新郎(bridegroom)需要给新娘家一笔钱作为聃礼来定下婚礼。
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。
快速上涨的生活成本是聘金增加的主要原因。
对于大多数年轻人来说,结婚意味着独立组建家庭,然而物价的不断上涨使这一切变得越来越困难。
因此,许多新婚夫妇都只能向父母求助。
表达难点1.第2句中的“作为聘礼”在汉译英时,可以顺承前面一句“聘金”而省略不译。
“来定下婚礼”表目的,故将其译作状语to fix a marriage。
2.第3句“……不断上升,致使大多数家庭都很难达到”表因果关系,可用so...that...结构来表达,“某人很难做某事”英语对应的表达为sb. finds it difficult to do sth,此句可译为...have become so high... that a majority of families are finding it difficult to meet them。
3.翻译第4句“快速上涨的生活成本是聘金增加的主要原因”时,如果按照原主干“生活成本是主要原因译,则不能很好表达出原句强调“上涨”的利害关系,故转换结构,用“快速上涨”作主语用介词短语in the living cost 作定语。
4.倒数第2句中的“结婚意味着独立组建家庭,然而物价的不断上涨使这一切变得越来越困难”是一个表转折的并列句。
但通过分析发现,“这一切”指代前半句内容,故可用which引导非限制性定语从句将前后分句联系起来,以避免不必要的信息重复,这样句子更加简洁紧凑。
“物价的不断上涨”处理成原因状语because of the constantly rising prices 置后,使句子表达清晰流畅。
参考译文Endowment is part of Chinese tradition. Usually, a bridegroom needs to pay a certain amount of money to the bride's family to fix a marriage. But the standards have become so high in recent years that a majority of families are finding it difficult to meet them. The rapid rise in the living cost is the main reason for the increase of endowment. For most young people, marriage means setting up a family independently, which has become increasingly difficult because of the constantly rising prices. Consequently, many newly married couples turn to their parents for help.2020年大学英语四级考试翻译试题及答案(2)中国结(Chinese knot)是中国文化的典型代表之一。
