翻譯壹:生活習慣
多少年來,我養成了壹個習慣:每天早晨四點在黎明以前起床工作。我不出去跑步或散步,而是壹下床就幹活兒。因此我對黎明前的北京的了解是在屋子裏感覺到的。我從前在什麽報上讀過壹篇文章,講黎明時分天安門廣場上的清潔工人。那情景必然是非常動人的,可惜我從未能見到,只是心向往之而已。
參考譯文
For many years, Ihave been in the habit of getting up before daybreak to start work at four.Instead of going out for a jog or walk, I?ll set about my work as soon as I?mout of bed. As a result, it is from inside my study that I've got the feel ofpredawn Beijing. Years ago, I hit upon a newspaper article about streetcleaners in Tian?anmen Square at daybreak. It must have been a very movingscene, but what a pity I haven?t seen it with my own eyes. I can only pictureit in my mind longingly.
翻譯二:保護動物
目前,人類的生存環境正在遭到破壞,美麗的大自然已經不那麽美麗了。保護野生動物,也就是保護人類自己。我強烈呼籲:不要再捕殺黑猩猩,不要再捕殺野生動物了,讓我們人類多壹些地球上的朋友,多給我們下壹代保留壹些野生動物吧! 否則,地球將毀滅在人類手中,人類將毀滅在自己手中。
參考譯文
Atpresent, man?s living environment is being ruined, and beautiful nature is nolonger so beautiful. Protection of wild life is protection of man himself. So Iappeal strongly to all to stop killing the chimpanzee or any other wild animal.Let us human beings have more friends on the earth, and leave more wild lifefor future generations. Or the earth would be destroyed by man, and man by manhimself.
翻譯三:學習英語
到中國來旅遊觀光的人很少不會註意到中國人學習英語的勁頭。公園裏有專門的英語角,老老少少會定期聚在壹起操練。馬路上外國遊客常常被學習英語的人圍住交談,從天氣到政治,無所不談。各種英語班如雨後春筍在到處出現。
參考譯文
Fewvisitors to China will fail to notice the eagerness of the Chinese to learnEnglish.2) In public parks there are special corners where English learners oldand young gather at regular time to practise their spoken English.3) Foreignvisitors are often besieged on streets by English learners who want to talkwith them in English abut anything from weather to politics.4) English classesare mushrooming across the land.
翻譯四:發明創造
過去50年其實並不是發明創新的黃金時期。從1900年到1950年,改變人類生活的發明有汽車、飛機、電話、收音機、電視機?當然還有核武器和計算機。而近50年來,只有為數不多的發明。難道發明的源泉已經枯竭了嗎?答案並非如此。事實上,發明的新時代剛剛開始。
參考譯文
Actually the lastfifty years was not the golden age of invention and innovation. From 1900 to1950, human life was transformed by such invention as cars, aeroplanes,telephones, radios and television sets, not to mention nuclear weapons and thecomputer of course. In the recent 50 years since only a few inventions havebeen made, was the wellspring of invention drying up? Not likely. Indeed, a newage of invention is just beginning.
