1. 中国龙对龙图腾的崇拜在中国大约已绵延了八千多年。

中国龙是古人将鱼，蛇，马，牛等动物和云雾，雷电等自然天象集合而成的一种神物。

中国龙的形成和中华民族的多元融合过程同步。

在中国人的心目中，龙具有振奋腾飞，开拓变化的寓意和团结凝聚的精神。

Chinese DragonDragon totem worship in China has been around for the last 8,000 years. The ancients in China considered the dragon (or Loong) a fetish that combines animals including the fish, snake, horse and ox with cloud, thunder, lightning and other natural celestial phenomena. The Chinese dragon was formed in accordance with the multicultural fusion process of the Chinese nation. To the Chinese, the dragon signifies innovation and cohesion.2. 饺子饺子是深受中国人民喜爱的传统特色食品。

相传为古代医圣张仲景发明。

饺子的制作是包括：1）擀皮、2）备馅、3）包馅水煮三个步骤。

其特点是皮薄馅嫩，味道鲜美，形状独特，百食不厌。

民间有“好吃不过饺子”的俗语。

中国人接亲待友。

逢年过节都有包饺子吃的习俗，寓意吉利。

对崇尚亲情的中国人来说，“更岁交子”吃饺子，更是欢度除夕、辞旧迎新必不可少的内容。

DumplingsDumplings are one of the Chinese people’s favorite traditional dishes. According to an ancient Chinese legend, dumplings were first made by the medical saint—Zhang Zhongjing. There are three steps involved in making dumplings: 1) make dumpling wrappers out of dumpling flour; 2) prepare the dumpling stuffing; 3) make dumplings and boil them. With thin and elastic dough skin, freshen and tender stuffing, delicious taste, and unique shapes, dumplings are worth eating hundreds of times. There’s an old saying that claims, “Nothing could be more delicious than dumplings.” During the Spring Festival and other holidays or when treating relatives and friends, Chinese people like to follow the auspicious custom of eating dumplings. To Chinese people who show high reverence for family love, having dumplings at the moment the old year is replaced by the new is an essential part of bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the New Year.3. 针灸针灸是中医学的重要组成部分。

浅谈英汉互译中的直译与意译Discussed shallowly the literal translation and the transliteration in English to Chinesetranslates mutually一、引言一直以来，无论是在我国还是在西方，直译与意译都是翻译讨论的中心话题。

“直译与意译之争，在我国自有翻译之时起就已存在”i。

次争论至少从公元前就已经开始。

到了十九世纪初，很多作家倾向与意译，即译其神韵而不是译字母；译意义而不是译词汇；译信息而不是译形式；译事实而不是译方式。

……“不过，这种争论是纯理论的，争论者并没有考虑到翻译的目的、读者的情况和文体类型等因素”ii。

也没有考虑到翻译都是有一定标准的。

那么首先就来了解一下英语翻译的标准。

二、阐述英语翻译的标准1、翻译标准的含义。

翻译标准是翻译实践的理论和衡量翻译文章的好坏的尺度。

2、严复提出的翻译标准“信达雅”。

所谓信是翻译的准确性能够忠实于作者的表达内容，达是翻译的通顺性，也就是说能够使用本土语言通顺的表达原文的主旨和思想，这也是翻译的一般要求，而雅是翻译的艺术性，比喻为原作的投胎转世，精神紫致和依然故我。

3、忠实和通顺。

忠实是译者把原作内容完整而准确的表达出来，不得有任何的篡改和歪曲。

通顺是指译文必须通俗易懂，符合语言规范。

忠实和通顺是相辅相成的。

他们对于原作内容，风格都有全面的照顾。

例如：I am up to my neck in your bullshit(你让我倒八辈子霉)，没有把它译成“你把我害得好苦”，如果这样翻译就达不到前面的效果。

翻译是具备一定标准的，但在翻译中，我们得掌握翻译的技巧与方法来理解原文所表达的思想，用另一种语言再现原文的过程，这就谈到了翻译中直译与意译的表达阶段。

三、直译与意译的含义1、直译的含义。

直译就是在翻译文章语言条件许可时，在译文中既保持原文内容，又得保持原文形式。
