Part Ⅳ Translation

1． 各种慢性疾病(chronic diseases)已经成为影响中国人健康的主要隐患。随着钱包越来越鼓，中国人的生活方式也发生了巨大的变化，其中包括饮食上的变化和向城市迁移(migration)，这也使得中国人的健康面临极大的风险。卫生部(Ministry of Health)的数据显示，高血压(hypertension)和肥胖症已经成为导致中国人死亡的主要原因，目前超过2．6亿的中国人患有慢性疾病。

正确答案： Various chronic diseases have become the major health

challenge for the Chinese. With fatter wallets, the Chinese lifestyles have changed

dramatically, including changes in diet and migration to cities, which has put the

population’s health in peril. Major causes of death have shifted to hypertension and

obesity, and now more than 260 million citizens in China suffer from chronic diseases,

according to data from China’s Ministry of Health.

解析：1．第一句中的“影响中国人健康的主要隐患”译为the major health

challenge for the Chinese，“隐患”也可译为threat。2．第二句中的“随着钱包越来越鼓”可以译为With fatter wallets。“其中包括……”可以用including引导的介词短语表示。“使得……面临极大的风险”可用put…in peril来表示，也可以用pose a serious／great risk to…来表示。3．在翻译最后一句时，可以调整一下句子结构，用and连接两个分句，主语分别为“导致……的主要原因”和“超过2．6亿的中国人”。“卫生部……显示”可以用according to引导的介词短语表示，放在句首或句末均可。 知识模块：汉译英

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的婚纱，因为白色被认为是纯洁的象征。然而，在中国的传统文化中，白色经常是葬礼上使用的颜色。因此务必记住，白花一定不要用作祝人康复的礼物，尤其不要送给老年人或危重病人。同样，礼金也不能装在白色的信封里，而要装在红色的信封里。

改革开放：reform and opening up

西式：in western style

葬礼：funeral

祝人康复的礼物：gifts for patients

危重病人：critically sick patients

礼金：cash gift

With China’s reform and opening up, quite a number of youngsters would like to celebrate their

weddings in western style. The bride wears a white wedding dress at the ceremony, as white is

regarded as a symbol of purity. However, in traditional Chinese culture, white is a color that is

often used in funerals. That’s why it’s necessary to keep in mind that white flowers must not be

gifts for patients, especially not for the elders or critically sick patients. Similarly, the cash gift

shouldn’t be packed in a white envelope, but in a red one.
