Part III Translate the following passage into Chinese: (40%)
1、There is a growing number of economists who believe today's brutally tough labor market is not a temporary American oddity. Falling wages, reduced benefits and rising job insecurity seem to be increasingly entrenched features of the job scene across most of Western Europe, the United States and other parts of the developed world. The number of insecure freelance positions is rising (as are working hours) while stable jobs with good benefits are being cut. Laid-off workers are much less likely to be rehired by their old companies and have to find new jobs or turn to self-employment. Those who still have jobs are working longer hours with little prospect of meaningful raises. The new labor market is shaped by growing global competition, spurred by the rise of cheap manufacturers in China, India and Eastern Europe, and the price-chopping effect of both the Internet and giant retailers led by Wal-Mart. These forces compel Western companies to exercise a growing restraint on prices and labor cost. One thing globalization clearly does is to exert a leveling effect on wages.
越来越多的经济学家认为当今美国劳动力市场竞争异常残酷激烈，这不只是一时的怪现状。在大多西欧国家、美国及其他发达国家，降薪、福利削减、工作稳定性下降似乎已经成为就业市场越来越难以改变的痼疾。不稳定的自由职业岗位增多（工作时间同样延长），而稳定福利好的工作机会减少。工人失业后被他们的旧东家重聘的可能性越来越小，他们不得不找份新工作或者自己创业。而那些尚留在工作岗位上的人员工作时间加长，然而他们加薪前景微乎其微。
新的全球劳动力市场正受到各种因素的影响。日益激烈的全球竞争，中国、印度和东欧劳动力价格低廉的制造业的发展，零售业巨头沃尔玛以及互联网销售带来的降价冲击——这些因素迫使欧美公司增强了对价格和劳动力成本的控制。全球化带来的一个显著变化就是薪水的平均化。
2、Human beings are distinguished from animals but the ability to laugh. In the universe which appears to be utterly devoid of humor. We enjoy the supreme luxury. In the divided world, laughter is a unified force.

Certain comics stereotypes have a universal appeal, just as Semill Johnson once remarked: Man have been wise in many different modes, but they always laughed in the same way. A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter maybe anything from a refined tinkle to an earth quaking roll, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us maintain the correct sense of values. The sense of humor must be singled out as man’s most important quality, because it is associated with laughter. And laughter in turn is associated with happiness. Courage, determination, initiative, these are qualities probably we share with any other forms of life, but the sense of humor is uniquely human. If happiness is one of the great goals of life, than least the sense of humor that provides the key.
笑的能力将人类和动物区分开来。在一个幽默全无的宇宙里，我们享有这一
至高无上的财富。笑声在一个分裂了的世界里，是一股粘合的力量。
人类在许多问题上势不两立，国与国之间对政体的看法可能大相径庭，人际关系可能带有意识形态的烙印。但是我们都有笑的能力，而笑声赖以生存的基础确是人类所有品质中最复杂最含蓄的部分，即幽默感。某些戏剧性模式的吸引力具有普遍意义，正如赛米尔约翰逊所言：人类聪明的形式虽天差地远，但笑的形式却总是毫无二致。
幽默有不同的表现形式，有人莞尔一笑，有人纵声大笑，无论何种类型的笑，其效果是一样的。幽默有助于我们保持一种正确的价值观，幽默感应该被视为人类最重要的品质，因为幽默感与笑声联系在一起，而笑声又同幸福联系在一起。勇气、决心、主动进取精神，这些品质或许也为其他许多形式的生命所具有，而幽默感却为人类所独有。如果幸福是人生的主要目标之一，那么幽默感则向我们提供了一把打开幸福大门的钥匙。
3、The culture of any society is usually thought to be of two kinds: material and nonmaterial. Material culture includes the man-made phenomena which have physical properties such as height, breadth, and weight. A boat, a machine, a house—all these objects are part of the material culture. The nonmaterial culture is that portion of the environment which surrounds man and which has an impact on his behavior but which lacks these material properties: values, beliefs, traditions, and all the other habits and ideas invented and acquired by man as a member of society. Contemporary sociological theory tends to assign primary importance to the nonmaterial culture in choosing problems for study. It assumes, for example, that boats, planes, automobiles, and so forth, are not nearly as important as the traditions we have developed which
make their manufacture possible—indeed, which prescribe how we are to use them. The emphasis of contemporary sociology is to insist that the material culture would not exist had not the nonmaterial culture first been available to suggest the ideas which are embodied in the inventions of material culture.
人们通常认为任何社会的文化均分为两种： 物质文化和非物质文化。 物质文化包括具有高度、宽度和重量等属性的人为现象。 船只、机器、房屋――所有 这些东西都被认为是物质文化的一部分。 非物质文化则是人类所处环境的一部分，对人类的行为有着影响， 但缺乏这些 上述物质属性： （非物质文化是指） 人作为社会一员所创立和获得的价值观、信仰、准则、传统及一切其他习惯和思想。当代社会学理念选择要研究的问题时，往往以非物质文化为主。 例如，社会学理论认为船只、飞机、汽车等等，其重要性远不及人们为制造这些东西―更确切地说是为规定其使用方法―而形成的传统。 当代社会学所强调的是，要不是先有了孕育发明物质文化想法的非物质文化，物质文化就不会存在。 4、If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view. By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.
Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don't leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them.
Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.
Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your \"worry hours\" into \"productive hours\". Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you adopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.
如果你觉得心有余力不足，觉得缺乏前进的动力，有时候你只需要改变思维的角度。试着训练自己的思想朝好的一面看，这样你就会汲取实现目标的动力，而不会因为消极沉沦停滞不前。
一旦变换看问题的角度，你的生活会豁然开朗，幸福快乐会接踵而来。别交出掌握命运的主动权，也别指望局面会不可思议的好转。你必须与内心希望与热情步调一致。建立自信，敢于与困难短兵相接，而非绕道而行。记住，力量不是驾驭局势的法宝，无坚不摧的能力才是最重要的。
请坚信，美好的降临并非不可能，失误也许是成功的前奏。将惶恐化作信任，学会超越担忧和疑虑。让―诚惶诚恐‖的时光变得―富有成效‖。不要挥霍浪费精力，将它投到有意义的事情中去。当你下意识品尝生命的欢愉时，美好就会出现。当你积极地看待生活，并以此作为你的日常准则时，你就会找到快乐的真谛。 5、What is leadership?
Its qualities are difficult to define. But they are not so difficult to identify.
Leaders don’t force other people to go along with them. They bring them along. Leaders get commitment from others by giving it themselves, by building an environment that encourage creativity, and by operating with honesty and fairness. Leaders demand much of others, but they also give much of themselves. They are ambitious - not only for themselves, but also for those who work with them. They seek to attract, retain and develop other people to their full abilities.
Good leaders aren't \"lone rangers.\" They recognize that an organization's strategies for success require the combined talents and efforts of many people. Leadership is the catalyst for transforming those talents into results.
Leaders know that when there are two opinions on an issue, one is not bound to be wrong. They recognize that hustle and rush are the allies of superficiality. They are open to new ideas, but they explore their ramifications thoroughly.
Successful leaders are emotionally and intellectually oriented to the future - not wedded to the past. They have a hunger to take responsibility, to innovate, and to initiate. They are not content to merely taking care of what's already there. They want to move forward to create something new.
什么是领导？
领导应具备什么样的品质，这很难精确的解说，但描述指陈却也不难。 领导者不强制别人与自己协调一致，而是帮助他们跟上。领导者让别人承担义务，首先自己承担义务，造成一种能鼓励创造的环境，待人诚恳，处事公正。
领导者对人要求很多，同时给人也很多。他们有雄心壮志不仅为自己，也为和他们一道工作的人。他们设法吸引大家，留住他们，使他们充分发挥才能。
好的领导者不是“孤独的护林员”。 他们认识到一个组织要获得成功，其方针在于把许多人的才能和力量集中起来。领导艺术是一种催化剂， 把众人的才智转化成业绩。
领导者明白，这争论的问题上出现两种意见时，并非必然有一种是错的。他们认识到匆忙草率就会促成肤浅片面。他们愿意接受新的设想或建议，但对他们的细节和后果要做认真的探讨。
成功的领导者无论是在感情上还是在理智上都着眼于未来而不是眷恋过去。他们渴望负责、改革、开拓。他们不满足于仅仅守成，他们要前进、要创新。 6、Walking gives us back our senses. We see, hear, and smell the world as we never can when we ride. No matter what vehicle, it is the vehicle that is moving, not ourselves. We are trapped inside its fixed environment, and once we have taken in its sensory aspects — mainly in terms of comfort or discomfort — we turn off our perceptions and either go to sleep or open a magazine and begin dozing awake. But when we walk, the environment changes every moment and our senses are continuously being alerted. Around each corner of a city block, around each bend in a country road, there is something new to greet the eyes, the ears and the nose. Even the same walk, the one we may take every day, is never the same from one day to another, from one week and season to another.
This is true not only in the country, but anywhere at all. In New York City, a group of executives who meet every weekday morning walk from their homes to their offices. Their way takes them through quiet streets of old brownstones, one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, then up and over the Brooklyn Bridge with its cathedral
arches supporting the weblike drapery of cables, then down into the skyscraper canyons of the financial district.
On their daily route they see, hear, and smell the city in all its seasonal changes, under bright and cloudy skies. Only the most inclement weather stops them — suitably dressed, they can walk with pleasure in spring rains, autumn drizzles, and the sunlight of a summer morning or a soft winter snowfall.
步行唤起我们的知觉。我们看到的、听到的、闻到的世界与我们坐车时感知到的世界绝对不一样。无论乘坐什么车，运动的是车，而不是我们自己。我们被困在车内固定的环境里，一旦接受了它所给予我们的感觉----主要是舒适与否的感觉----我们就关闭了自己的知觉，不是睡觉，就是打开一本杂志，睁着眼睛打起盹来。
可是当我们步行的时候，周围的环境每时每刻都在变化，我们的知觉不断地被外界事物所激活。在城市街区的每一拐角处，在乡间道路的每个拐角处，总有什么新的东西映入我们的眼帘，窜入我们的耳朵，扑入我们的鼻子。即便我们日复一日，年复一年走的是同一条路，但是，我们感知的事物却没有一次是完全相同的。
这种情况不仅在乡村是如此，而且在任何地方都是如此。纽约城里，有几位公司主管，天天早上结伴从各自家里步行到办公室。一路上，他们先是沿着古旧的褐色石头铺成的寂静街道向前走，经过一个全市最古老的街区，继而跨过布鲁克林大桥，穿过支撑着蛛网般的钢缆的教堂式桥拱，最后径直步入摩天大楼巍然耸立的金融区。
每天在途中，他们用整个身心感受着这座城市的阴晴冷暖，四季变化。只有
极其恶劣的天气才会阻止他们步行。他们衣着得体，惬意地行走在蒙蒙春雨之中，步行于秋日的毛毛细雨里，漫步在夏日清晨的阳光下，或徜徉于冬天柔软的飘雪间。
7、―International communication‖ is communication between members of different cultures. This definition is simple. But the process is complex. Intercultural communication involves differing perceptions, attitudes, and interpretations. We know that even two people from the same culture can have communication problems. People can intentionally hurt each other by something they say or do. Isn’t it logical, then, that communication problems can be compounded among people who do not have the benefit of shared experiences (i.e. language and culture)?
Cultures do not communicate; individuals do. Everyone has a unique style of communication. But cultures determine a general style for their members. The relationship of the individual to his culture is analogous to an actor and his director. The actor puts his own personality into his acting but is nevertheless influenced by the director. We are not always aware of the subtle influences of our culture. Likewise, we may not perceive that others are influenced by their cultures as well.
Difficulties in intercultural communication arise when there is little or no awareness of divergent cultural values and beliefs. In cross-cultural interaction, speakers sometimes assume that what they believe is right, because they have grown up thinking their way is the best. This ethnocentric assumption can result in negative judgments about other cultures. Another manifestation of ethnocentric attitudes is that people become critical of individuals from different cultures.
Cultural conflicts occur as a result of misinterpretations, ethnocentrism, stereotypes, and prejudice. Preventing these conflicts is possible with increased awareness of our own attitudes as well as sensitivity to cross cultural differences. Developing intercultural sensitivity does not mean that we need to lose our cultural identities—but rather that we recognize cultural influences within ourselves and within others.
所谓“跨文化交际”是指不同文化成员之间的交际。这个定义很简单，但过程很复杂。跨文化交际涉及不同的认知，态度与解释。我们知道，即使同一文化的两个人也可能存在交际问题。人们可能因为某句话或某件事无意造成互相伤害。因此，人们没有共同的经历（即没有共同的语言和文化），要解决相互之间的交际问题，这不符合逻辑吧？
文化之间不能交际，但人与人可以沟通。每个人都有独特的交际方式，但文化决定各个成员的总体交际方式。个人与文化的关系好比演员与导演的关系。演员将其个性融入表演，但要受导演的影响。我们常常不了解自己文化的细微影响；同样，我们可能也认识不到别人也受他们文化的影响。
对于不同的文化价值和信念缺乏了解时，跨文化交流很难进行。在跨文化交流中，交流者有时认为他们的看法是正确的，因为他们从小到大就认为他们的方式是最好的。这种民族中心主义的认识，可能造成对其他文化的错误判断。另一种民族中心主义的表现是，对不同文化的人持挑剔的态度。
文化冲突是由于误解，民族中心主义，成见和偏见造成的。增强对跨文化差异的认识和对自身态度的认识，有可能防止文化冲突。增强跨文化的了解并不意味着我们要丧失自己的文化特性，而是要认识我们自己以及他人之间的文化影响。
8、Keeping the intricacies and complexities out of the picture, let us take the binary opposites of the rich and the poor in the global system. Although a division of the present-day world into rich, white, Christian, non-industrialized, industrialized North, and non-industrialized South makes sense at the nation-state level, we need to go beyond that for the present discussion. Out of the 5.3 billion people in the world, some 3.4 billion live in the ―Third World‖ countries and 80% of them live in about 2 million villages. As a whole, 77% of the world population is in low and middle-income countries; 51% are in Asia and the Pacific, 15% are in Africa and the Middle East, 7% live in Latin America and the Caribbean, and 4% live in Europe.
The minority rich people, who are at the center of the present socio-economic-political power configurations and value system, possess most of the world’s economic power, control most of the world’s political affairs, and enjoy most of the world’s opportunities. The majority poor, who are pushed to the periphery, have fewer resources; little political power and few opportunities. The affluent both in North and South religiously follow the Western Holy Trinity of ―nation-statism, scientism, and developmentalism.‖ They are unmindful of the fact that the majority of the world’s people are not just left out in their scheme but ruthlessly abused by their insensitive development models, inhuman security paradigms, bankrupt percept and callous practices.
姑且把其中的错综复杂的问题放到一边，让我们先看看世界格局的贫富两极分化现象。虽然在民族和国家的层面上，我们把当今世界分为富裕、白种、信奉基督教、工业化的北方和未工业化的南方两大部分，也未尝不可，但是我们讨论
这个问题却必须有更宽阔的视野。全世界有53亿人口，其中34亿生活在“第三世界”国家。这些人中80%分布在世界各地的200万个村落中。总体来说，世界人口的77%聚集在中低收入国家。其中51%在亚太地区，15%在非洲和中东，7%在拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区，另外4%在欧洲。
富裕的人口只占总人数的很小部分。他们处在社会、经济、政治权利结构的核心位置，也占据了价值系统的主导位置。这小部分人占有世界经济的主要力量，操纵着世界政治，并且手握大部分发展潜机。贫穷的人仍占总人口的绝大部分。他们被排斥到世界的边缘，缺乏资源，基本上与政治权利和机会无缘。无论南方还是北方的有钱人们都笃信西方社会“国家至上、科学至上、发展至上”。而世界上生活着的大多数人被这个群体冷落在外，甚至还遭受到有钱人们盲目发展、非人道的安全模式、破产和恶性运作的负面影响。对于这一切，有钱人们熟视无睹，充耳不闻。
9、Camping has become the great pursuit of holiday spending, among an increasing number of young people. Camping as a way of spending holiday has so much to offer. You enjoy absolute freedom; you have none of the headaches of advance hotel booking or driving round and round the city at midnight looking for a room. There are no cold hotel breakfasts, no surly staff to tip. For a ludicrously small sum you can enjoy comforts which few hotels can provide.
Modern camping sites are well equipped with hot and cold running water and even shops and dance floors. Low cost holidays make the camping an attractive position. But above all, you enjoy tremendous mobility. If you don’t like a place or if it is too crowed, you can simply get off and look for a new location. Conversely, you can stay
as long as you like, you are the boss after all.
It’s so exciting to arrive at the campsite, put up your tents and start getting your meal ready. You are active all the time and you are always close to nature. Imaging you beside some clear stream with mountains in the background, night is falling; everything is peaceful, except for the delightful sound of chop sizzling in the pan. Camping provides you a real change from everyday living. You get up earlier and go to bed earlier. You have an enormous opportunity to meet people of various nationalities and to share your pleasures with them. For a few precious weeks in a year, you really adopted a completely different way of life and that’s the essence of true recreation and real enjoyment.
野营已经成了越来越多年轻人热衷的度假方式了。作为一种度假方式，野营的优点颇多，你能享受觉得的自由，不必为预定旅馆而苦恼，也不必费神半夜开车四处寻找住所。你不必吃冷冰冰的旅馆早餐，不必付小费给乖戾的服务员，你只需交付一笔小得令人难以置信的费用，便可享受没有几家旅馆能够给予的舒适。
现代化的营地配置了冷热自来水，甚至还有商店和舞场，低廉的花费使野营度假十分诱人，更为诱人的是野营度假的极大机动性，如果你不喜欢某地，或者感到某地太拥挤，可即刻开罢，另立新主。反过来说，你若喜欢某地，你只要愿意便可一直住下去，毕竟你自己说了算嘛。
到达目的地后安营扎寨，支起帐篷，烹调饭菜可真带劲，里里外外你忙个不停，可以大自然朝夕相处。想象一下自己的环境，脚踩清澈的小溪，背靠连绵的群山，夜幕徐徐降临，万物一片静籁，只有平底锅传来猪排吱吱作响声。野营给你的日
常生活带来了一种全新的面貌，早起早睡，有众多机会结识各种人士，同享快乐。仅仅在这一年中珍贵的几周里，你事实上已采纳了一种与昔日完全不同的生活方式，这才是真正的娱乐，这才是真正的享乐。
10、In some societies people want children for what might be called familial reasons: to extend the family line or the family name, to propitiate the ancestors; to enable the proper functioning of religious rituals involving the family. Such reasons may seem thin in the modern, secularized society but they have been and are powerful indeed in other places.
In addition, one class of family reasons shares a border with the following category, namely, having children in order to maintain or improve a marriage: to hold the husband or occupy the wife; to repair or rejuvenate the marriage; to increase the number of children on the assumption that family happiness lies that way. The point is underlined by its converse: in some societies the failure to bear children (or males) is a threat to the marriage and a ready cause for divorce.
Beyond all that is the profound significance of children to the very institution of the family itself. To many people, husband and wife alone do not seem a proper family -they need children to enrich the circle, to validate its family character, to gather the redemptive influence of offspring. Children need the family, but the family seems also to need children, as the social institution uniquely available, at least in principle, for security, comfort, assurance, and direction in a changing, often hostile, world. To most people, such a home base, in the literal sense, needs more than one person for sustenance and in generational extension.
在某些社会中，人们希望拥有孩子是出于所谓的家庭原因：传宗接代，光宗耀祖，讨好祖辈，使那些涉及到家庭的宗教仪式得以正常进行。此类原因在现代世俗化的社会中似显苍白，但它们在其他地方曾一度构成并确实仍在构成强有力的理由。
此外，有一类家庭原因与下列类别不无共通之处，这便是：生儿育女是为了维系或改善婚姻：能拴住丈夫或者使妻子不至于无所事事；修复或重振婚姻；多子多孙，以为家庭幸福惟有此法。这一点更可以由其反 面得到昭示：在某些社会中，无法生儿育女（或无法生育男孩）对婚姻而言是一种威胁，还可作为离婚的现成借口。
后代对于家庭这一体制本身所具有的深远意义远非如此。对许多人来说，夫妻两人尚不足以构成一个真正意义上的家庭——夫妻需要孩子来丰富其两人小天地，赋予该小天地以真正意义上的家庭性质，并从子孙后代身上获取某种回报。 孩子需要家庭，但家庭似乎也需要孩子。家庭作为一种社会机构，以其特有的方式，至少从原则上说，可在一个变幻莫测、常常是充满敌意的世界中让人从中获取某种安全、慰藉、保障，以及价值取向。
Part IV Translate the following passage into English: (20%)
1、一九五四年在北京召开的翻译工作会议，傅雷未能到会，只提交了一份书面意见，举出许多谬误的翻译例句。他可能忘了例句都有主人，也不曾料到他的意见会被印发给与会者。他拈出例句，就好比挑出人家的错来示众了。这就触怒了许多人，都大骂傅雷狂傲，有一位老翻译家竟气得大哭。
A conference on translation was held in Beijing in 1954. Fu Lei, who was unable to attend, submitted a written report in which he cited many examples of translation
errors. He probably forgot that every example had a creator, and he did not anticipate that the report would be printed and handed out at the conference. By picking out the examples, he seemed to be parading other people’s mistakes. This enraged many, who severely reproached him for his peremptoriness. One of them, an old translator, felt so insulted that he burst out crying.
2、朋友之间，情趣相投、脾气对味则合、则交，反之，则离、则绝。朋友之间再熟悉、再亲密，也不能随便过头、不恭不敬，这样，默契和平衡将被打破，友好关系将不复存在。
每个人都希望拥有自己的一片私密空间，朋友之间过于随便，就容易侵入这片禁区，从而引起冲突，造成隔阂。待友不敬，有时或许只是一件小事，却可能已埋下了破坏性的种子。维持朋友亲密关系的最好办法是往来有节，互不干涉.
Friends tend to become more intimated if they have the same interests and temper, they can get along well and keep contacting; otherwise they will separate and end the relationship. Friends who are more familiar and closer can not be too casual and show no respect. Otherwise the harmony and balance will be broken, and the friendship will also be nonexistent any more. Everyone hopes to have his own private space, and if too casual among friends, it is easy to invade this piece of restricted areas, which will lead to the conflict, resulting in alienation. It may be a small matter to be rude to friends; however, it is likely to plant the devastating seeds. The best way to keep the close relationship between friends is to keep contacts with restraint, and do not bother each other.
3、中国有句古话：“相知无远近，万里尚为邻”。中国与亚洲各国山水相连，共同铸就了灿烂的亚洲文明；古老而美丽的“丝绸之路”，谱写了中欧千年往来的美好篇章。中国与亚欧各国的互利合作正在步入一个全新的阶段。中国已成为亚欧和世界经济发展中的积极力量，我们 坚定走和平发展的道路，致力于同亚欧各国发展富有活力和长期稳定的全面合作关系，与亚欧各国相互支持，携手前进，共创美好的未来。
In China, there is an old saying which goes like this, ―Long distance never separates close friends.‖ A ready link connecting this country and many other ones, like the Silk Road, in Asia and Europe helps a lot in bringing about the splendid civilization in Asia and the frequent exchanges and communication between China and the Continent in the past years. Now, we are going a step further in our cooperation based on mutual benefits, enjoying a brand-new bilateral relation. China, a devoted part in promoting the economic development in the 2 continents, will keep her track on the road of peace and development. A corresponding effort made by this country in building a dynamic and long-term cooperation in all fields across Asia and Europe, together with all the other efforts from the 2 continents, will definitely contribute a big part in making the bright future.
4、公元前278年，也就是屈原六十二岁那年，他在汨罗江边，听到秦国军队攻破了楚国的国都，便怀着悲痛的心情，抱了一块石头，投汨罗江自杀了。那天正好是农历五月五日。
楚国人民非常热爱屈原。汨罗江附近的老百姓听到屈原自杀的消息，都纷纷赶来，划着渔船，拿着竹竿，四处打捞屈原的遗体，结果什么也没有打捞到。大
家非常失望，又十分怀念屈原。他们担心屈原的遗体被江里的鱼虾吃掉，就划着船，把包好的粽子扔到江里去给鱼虾吃。以后，每到农历五月五日这一天，中国人家家户户都包粽子，吃粽子，表示对伟大诗人屈原的纪念。这就是中国人民的传统节日“端午节”。
In the year of 278 B.C., when he was 62 and staying at the side of the Miluo River, Qu Yuan heard that Qin troops had finally conquered Chu’s capital. Overwhelmed with grief and despair, he drowned himself in the river, with a large stone in his arms. That day happened to be the fifth day of the fifth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. The people of Chu had a great esteem and love for Qu Yuan. On hearing the news of his suicide, people who lived nearby came hurriedly in boats and attempted to retrieve his body with long bamboo poles but, to their distress, without avail. Filled with a deep sense of loss and worried that his body might be eaten up by fish and shrimps, they threw into the water pyramid-shaped glutinous dumplings wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves to divert them. Since then, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year, each household in China would make and eat rice dumplings to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan. This is the traditional Chinese festival known as the Double Fifth Festival.
5、中国坚定不移地走和平发展道路，是基于中国国情的必然选择。1840年鸦片战争以后的100多年里，中国受尽了列强的欺辱。消除战争，实现和平，建设独立富强、民生幸福的国家，是近代以来中国人民孜孜以求的奋斗目标。今天的中国虽然取得了巨大的发展成就，但人口多，底子薄，发展不平衡，仍然是世界上最大的发展中国家。推动经济社会发展，不断改善人民生活始终是中国的中心任
务。中国人民最需要、最珍爱和平的国际环境，愿尽自己所能，为推动各国共同发展做出积极贡献。
It is an inevitable choice based on its national conditions that China persists unswervingly in taking the road of peaceful development. During the 100-odd years following the Opium War in 1840, China suffered humiliation and insult from big powers. And thus, ever since the advent of modern times, it has become the assiduously sought goal of the Chinese people to eliminate war, maintain peace, and build a country of independence and prosperity, and a comfortable and happy life for the people. Although it has made enormous achievements in development, China, with a large population, a weak economic foundation and unbalanced development, is still the largest developing country in the world. It is the central task of China to promote economic and social development while continuously improving its people’s life. To stick to the road of peaceful development is the only way for China to attain national prosperity and strength, and its people’s happiness. What the Chinese people need and cherish most is a peaceful international environment. They are willing to do their best to make energetic contributions for the common development of all countries.
6、我理所当然地是不能成为大作家的，因为我对文学不够虔诚。当作家，有的人是纯粹的一种热爱，有的人则是把文学当成了敲门砖。我属于后者。也就是说有的人天生是当作家的料，有的人却是因为生活上的原因所迫······
我常常说，我不佩服那些在艰苦的环境中能奋斗的人，而佩服那些在安逸富足的条件下还能保持奋斗的人。苦难当然会逼迫人去奋斗，这是一种强大的动力。
而有些人在优裕生活中能不去玩乐不去享受，而能够苦苦地在写作，在我觉得他们的毅力简直不可思议。
Undoubtedly, I shall never be a great writer, for I am so sincere man of letters. Some people take writing as a job purely for passion’s sake; others use it as a means to pursue fame and gain. I belong to the latter. In other words, some people are born writers, while others are compelled to write for a living…
I often say that I admire those people who work perseveringly even when lending an easy and comfortable life, rather than those who work for a better living under hard and stern circumstances. Misfortunes, as a great power, can naturally drive one to struggle for a better life. However, there are also people who give up the enjoyment of a well-off life and devote themselves whole –heartedly to writing, Their perseverance, to me ,is almost incredible.
7、微笑，凝聚着内心的纯洁无私，召唤着友谊与情感的到来，消化着矛盾与不快。微笑是无声的，但又胜似有声。微笑把一具心灵传递给另一具心灵。古人说：笑口常开，笑古笑今，万事一笑了之。我们可以理解为：带着微笑的赞扬，使人感到诚心，能催人奋进；带着微笑的批评，使人感到善意，能促人进步；带着微笑的拒绝，使人感到理解，能帮人走出困境；带着微笑的请求，使人感到亲切，能帮人过关。
Embodying purity and selflessness, smile calls for friendship and affection. It dissolves antagonism and displeasure. Its soundlessness is even better than utterance in communicating between minds. The ancient said to a well-known Buddha statue: “Always grinning, you look at things past and present, and laugh them off whatever
they are.” What is meant by a smile can be understood this way: a compliment given with a smile represents a sincere encouragement to the addressee for further efforts, while criticism with a smile is likely to be accepted as meaning well and helpful to one’s progress. A smiling refusal, which causes no embarrassment, contributes to mutual understanding; while a smiling request, which appeals irresistibly, does a great deal to help tackle knotty problems.
8、五四运动是反帝国主义的运动，又是反封建主义的运动。五四运动的杰出的历史意义，在于它带着为辛亥革命还不曾有的姿态，这就是彻底地不妥协地反帝国主义和彻底地不妥协地反封建主义。五四运动之所以有这种性质，是在当时中国的资本主义经济已有进一步的发展„„，因而发生了中国民族解放的希望。五四运动是在当时世界革命号召之下，是在俄国革命号召之下，是在列宁号召之下发生的。五四运动是当时无产阶级革命的一部分。
The May 4th Movement was an anti-imperialist as well as an anti-feudal movement. Its outstanding historical significance is to be seen in a feature which was absent from the Revolution of 1911, namely, its thorough and uncompromising opposition to imperialism as well as to feudalism. The May 4th Movement possessed this quality because capitalism had developed a step further in China and because new hopes had risen for the liberation of the Chinese nation…. The May 4th Movement came into being at the call of the world revolution, of the Russian Revolution and of Lenin. It was part of the world proletarian revolution of the time.
9、据调查，我国有40 ％的青少年除了课本外不看其他书籍。对此，我感到极为震惊。虽然有关人士声称调查具有科学性，我仍不敢相信。不过尽管怀疑，事
实却是，越来越多的年轻人在业余时间已不再读书，而是看电视、跳舞、打电子游戏机，或者“侃大山”。高尔基说过：“书籍是人类进步的阶梯。”众所周知，书籍是人类智慧的结晶。尽管现代传媒（如电视、计算机）在信息的传播速度上有许多优势，但到目前为止，还没有哪一种在传播知识的深度方面能取代书籍。 According to a survey, about 40% of our country's youth do not read any books other than their textbooks. I am shocked at the result. I remain suspicious of the survey, though the people concerned claim it to be scientific. Despite my suspicion, the fact is that more and more young people, instead of reading, spend their spare time watching TV, going to dance parties, playing video games or chitchatting. Gorgy once said: ―Books are steps toward human progress.‖ As we all know, books is a crystallization of human wisdom. Although modern media such as TV and computers enjoy advantages in the speed of information dissemination, so far none of them can replace books in respect of the depth of knowledge being spread.
10、中国是茶的故乡，江南茶区至今还流传着神农氏给人治病遍尝百草，中毒后吃茶解equq读的故事。唐代陆羽的《茶经》是世界第一部茶学著作。如今市场上充斥着各式各样的饮料，但有着几千年历史的中国茶仍然保持着独特的魅力。茶不仅有解渴的功能，而且它和华夏悠久而丰富的文化融为一体，渗透到了人的精神生活中去。
China is the homeland of tea. In the tea-growing regions south of the Yangtze River, there is an ancient legend about Shen Nong (the Holy Farmer), who tasted hundreds of plants in search of medicinal herbs. When he got poisoned one day, he cured himself by drinking tea. In the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yu wrote The Book of Tea, the
world’s first treatise on tea. The market today is flooded with all kinds of beverages, but Chinese tea, with a history of several thousand years, retains its unique charm. Tea can not only quench thirst but has integrated into China’s rich, enduring cultural tradition and become part of people’s spiritual life.
