篇一:英语

很小的时候开始有了祖国的概念,第一次学唱国歌在小学二年级,上学回家路上也会不自觉地一边走一边练习唱国歌。从此以后,这个永远让我为之激动,让我铭记的旋律渐渐化为一种无形中的力量支撑、鞭策着我。

故乡在一座小小的美丽的村落里,那里是浩荡的原野,平静而深沉,可爱而厚重。我生活在这里,我来自这里,这是我的家。村子旁边有条小河。它流向了哪里呢,我曾经困惑,不过我知道她一定到了远方,那里和这里一样的美丽、宁静,有一样勤劳的人们在大地上快乐地生活。小河她注视着人们的喜怒哀乐,承载了人们对于幸福悠远而绵长的向往。

慢慢地我理解了中国的含义。龙腾华夏,中国,存在于每一个龙的传人沸腾的血液里。历史的厚重沉淀在每一寸土地,无论在哪里,我们都能有立足之地。当你仰望星空,她默默地在你的脚下,给你力量和支持;当你背起行囊,为了远方的梦想,她就在你的身后,给你祝福;当你一个人面对人生悲喜,她就在你的身边,每一次的呼吸都能感受她的气息。

我们悲伤难过,她已然历经苦难。我们意气风发,她已数度辉煌。唐风汉韵,忘不了的曾经;厉兵秣马,勇对每一次挑战;鹏程万里,前方是永恒的目的地。梦想的翅膀起飞,就像是雄鹰在翱翔,俯瞰大地,每一个中国人都在它的坚毅的眼眸里。小小的梦想是一朵花的绽放,无数的梦想之花绽放,就会是一片花海,走到那里都有迷人的气息环绕着你。同呼吸,共命运,每一个中国人都有自己的梦想,所有的梦想都会在终结点汇集成一个大大的中国梦。

中国梦,让我们的祖国民富国强,让每一个人都拥有爱和自由。每一个怒放的生命,如绽放的花朵,在温暖的阳光下自由的呼吸,在清风中摇曳自己的风姿,在朗朗明月下进入美丽的梦境里。她是我们的母亲,不让我们孤寂,惦记着我们,即使相隔万里;她是我们的母亲,想着我们,每一次分离,纵然时空相隔;我们是你的孩子,依赖着你,用生命的意义温暖你的心,不让你经历苦难,给你力量和安慰;我们是你的孩子,快乐而幸福。

每个社会人都有或卑微而踏实,或遥远而富足的梦,每一天我们用它提醒着自己的存在,每一刻我们用它拨起生命的下一次脉动。而梦想之于我的意义,也在随着时间的流转悄然发生着变化。儿时的梦,单纯、天真又无所畏惧。它像悬浮在空中的羽毛,因为没有足够的分量和羁绊,可以自在飞,自在飘。流水匆匆,带走了一些,也改变了一些。慢慢地长大了,经历丰厚了些,心境也更务实了些。依旧饱有孩童时的冲劲但少了些冲动,因为在大千世界,我从来不是了然一身。渐渐在社会大舞台上确立了自己的位置,于人生坐标轴中找到了自己的方向,也明白了肩上的责任:原来,说到底我们都在为自己而活,为活着本身而活。因为,这才是一切美好梦想的原动力和基本支撑。否则,曾经的向往,向往的以后也只是天方夜谭而已。

当梦想的羽毛有了责任和担当的负载之后,它也便产生了新的蜕变。现在的梦想更像一只慢慢爬行的蜗牛,也许笨拙,但身后的每一个划痕都写满了踏实;也许沉重,但每一次向前的触动都显得格外努力;也许速度慢了些,但它始终沿着自己的轨迹,一步一步往上爬。终究有一天,它可以在最高点乘着叶片向前飞,领略属于它的那片苍穹,那片风景。

我的梦,我的中国梦,是一个充满爱的和谐天堂。每一个生命都有爱与被爱的权力和能力,每一个人都在可以相互温暖的距离内,每一个人都有可以实现的梦想。生活在新世纪的我们应该有足够的理由相信我们美丽的祖国,有足够的底气构建宏伟蓝图。因为,我们是中国未来的前行军。相信为了她,你我时刻充满勇气和力量。面对未知和困难,你我可以从容不迫,应对自如,用青春让梦想激情燃烧。

我的梦,我的中国梦,是一个充满自由的地方。每个人都有自己的快乐,都有自己的生活,自己的领地。我们自由地爱,自由地飞翔。祖国,请您放心也请您相信:我们会在自由的环境里生活和学习,珍惜每一个机会的青睐,珍惜每一次秒针的滴答,用我的青春诠释自由的梦,做肆意盛放的花,给你带来芬芳。

蓝天下每一个梦想都是一朵花,一个鲜活的生命。而我需要做的是用自己的绽放诠释这

其中普通而不平凡的一朵花的生命存在,散发怡人清香,实现自己的自我价值和集体意义。我的中国梦,流淌在奔腾的血液里,自由去爱,自由去绽放。

旭日东升,新的阳光在冲散陈腐气息,迎接我们的是一个新世纪的中国,焕然一新的中国。历史在悄然逝去,心中的热情却不曾冷却,我们多了一份理智,在仔细审视中国的复兴之路。

古人在细细地阐述他,诉说他,怀揣着和我们一样的中国梦。古树森林,芳草依依,圣洁而素朴的氛围含蕴在这中国路上。千年后,多少沧海桑田的变化,多少龙腾虎跃的中华魂在我们面前展示出来,在我们的周围汇聚,延续着中华民族的血脉。风霜雨雪,兴衰沉浮,中华民族的光芒永远散发着。他们的梦也是我们的青春梦,我的中国梦。

梦想在长城脚下放飞,希望在我们的脑海中点燃,黑暗中一盏明灯,指引我们的去向。记得苏格拉底说过:“世界上最快乐的事,莫过于为理想而奋斗。”我们从不怀疑。因为梦想只要经过奋斗,就可以变成现实。这里的“中国梦”不再是一串漂亮的宏观数据,不是畅销书榜单上的大国崛起,不是外国媒体派送的花篮活炮制的标签,它属于每一个平凡的中国人。

“国”,要为每一个社会的个体实现实现自我价值提供公平的机会和正义的土壤,为他们体面劳动,尊严生活,合理提供最大保障。而“我”要在改变在自身命运的过程中相互守望,共同担当,为这个时代,这个社会,这个国家注入更多自信,温暖与希望。物质日渐富足,国力逐步提升,我们的中国梦,我们的责任将更加重,我们要化为动力,让我们的中国梦永远促进我们为民族奋进,为国家奋进,闪烁出更多的爱国精神的光芒。

中国梦让我们团结一致,共同努力,携手进入新世纪,未来的中国梦将减少很多的悲伤痛苦,多出很多的欢声笑语,没一处角落不在黑暗,太阳的曙光将温暖每一处地方,照亮每一处心房。也许,我们的中国还有太多需要自我完善和提升的地方,但我们的中国梦值得去尊重,我们的中国梦会获得平等放飞的机会。

每一个人都可以有一个中国梦,好像每一个人都可以仰望星空或者拥抱阳光,星光璀璨,洒在每个人的脸上,照亮更加丰沛的人生,也照亮更加灿烂的中国。

篇二:翻译技巧:汉译英最易翻错的100句(12)

英语知识

56. 我的学习很忙。

[误] My study is very busy.

[正] I am very busy with my study.

注:第一句译文完全套用汉语的结构和语序,却犯了英文的句法错误。因为在英语中,study(学习)是一个行为,并不懂得忙不忙,感到忙的应是进行这一行为的人。所以,be busy with sth. 或 be busy (in) doing sth. 才是地道的英语表达。

57. 给他当二把手我看也值得。他太能干了。

[误] I feel it worth being a second hand to him. He is so capable.

[正] I feel it worth playing second fiddle to him. He is so capable. 注:英语的 second hand 作名词指“中间人”、“旧货”或“助手工人”,而汉语的“二把手”是“副手”,即“第二负责人”的意思,所以二者不是一回事。play second fiddle 则源于管弦乐队中第一提琴手(first violin)不在的时候由第二提琴手负责,并被人们引申为“当主要领导人的副手”,也就是我们所说的“当第二把手”。由此,不难猜出“当一把手”译成英语应该是 paly first fiddle了。

58. 电车上十分拥挤,几乎没有立足之地。

[误] The tram was so crowded that there was hardly sufficient room for you.

[正] The tram was so crowded that there was scarcely sufficient room for you.

注:副词 hardly 和 scarcely 虽然都含有“几乎不”等否定含义,有些时候也可以互换,如:I could hardly/scarcely recognize her(我几乎认不出她来了),但仍有细微的差异。如在强调数量“不足”时只能用 scarcely,这时它常与 enough、sufficient等词连

用。

59. 他被戴上了绿帽子。

[误] He is made to wear a green hat.

[正] He is a cuckold.

注:中文的“戴绿帽子”是指某人之妻与他人私通,但直译成英文西方人只会按字面意思理解为“某人头上被戴了顶绿色的帽子”,无论如何也不会理解汉语的喻义。而英语的 cuckold 是指“奸妇的丈夫”(a man whose wife deceives him by having a sexual relationship with another man),所以用 be a cuckold 才能正确表达原文的意思。

60. 我在新闻片里看到你站在总裁的身旁。

[误] I saw you stand by the president in the newsreel.

[正] I saw you stand beside the president in the newsreel.

注:stand by someone 的意思是“支持某人”(to support someone);to stand beside someone 才是“立于某人旁边”(to stand by the side of someone)。但是,如果 stand by 后面的宾语不是人,那倒是可以与 stand beside 互换,表示“在...之旁”,例如:Their house stands by a forest(他们的房子在森林旁边)。除此之外,stand by 还有“袖手旁观”之意,例如:How can you stand by and watch while your allies are attacked?(当你们的盟友受到攻击时,你们怎能袖手旁观呢?)

作为一个会议口译译员,应该全面发展,不仅能搞同声传译工作,也要能搞即席传译工作,二者缺一不可。

由于同声传译比即席传译更加容易学习和掌握(这点恐怕同很多人的想象相反),所以,作为初学者,在掌握即席传译技术以前,最好先搞一段时间的同声传译工作。也就是说,应该先到只使用同声传译的会议上去工作。但是,在实际工作中,这种只使用同声传译的会议是很少的。由于工作需要,绝大多

数会议总免不了要建立若干个委员会、工作组、起草组等附属机构。这些机构往往在没有同声传译设备的小会议室里开会,这就需要进行即席传译了。遇到这种情况,所有搞同声传译工作的译员,都可能被抽调到这些附属机构中去担任即席传译工作。如果某些人做不到这一点,那么他们的那份工作就要不合理地落到他们的同事身上,给别人增加负担。

所以,在大学的翻译系或翻译学校里,都把同声传译和即席传译的全面发展作为培养学生的标准,达不到这一标准,就不能取得毕业证书。

此外,译员为了保证自己的工作顺利进行,还必须根据自己的兴趣爱好开展适当的业余活动,如体育运动、娱乐游戏、从事业余研究和写作等。只有这样,他才能有健康的身体和饱满的精神,以胜任口译这一高度紧张的脑力劳动工作。

篇三:2014英语

阅读判断 第十三篇 Stage Fright1

Fall down as you come onstage. That?s an odd trick. Not recommended. But it saved the pianist Vladimir Feltsman when he was a teenager back in Moscow. The veteran cellist Mstislav Rostropovich tripped him purposely to cure him of

pre-performance panic, 2 Mr. Feltsman said, “ All my fright was gone. I already fell. What else could happen?”

Today, music schools are addressing the problem of anxiety in classes that deal with performance techniques and career preparation. There are a variety of strategies that musicians can learn to fight stage fright and its symptoms: icy fingers, shaky limbs, racing heart, blank mind.3

Teachers and psychologists offer wide-ranging advice, from basics like learning pieces inside out,4 to mental discipline, such as visualizing a performance and taking steps to relax. Don?t deny that you?re jittery,they urge; some excitement is natural, even necessary for dynamic playing. And play in public often, simply for the experience.

Psychotherapist Diane Nichols suggests some strategies for the moments before performance, “Take two deep abdominal breaths, open up your shoulders, then smile,?? she says. “And not one of these ?please don?t kill me? smiles. Then choose three friendly faces in the audience, people you would communicate with and make music to, and make eye contact with them.”She doesn?t want performers to think of the audience as a judge.

Extreme demands by mentors or parents are often at the root of stage fright,says Dorothy Delay, a well-known violin teacher. She tells other teachers to demand only what their students are able to achieve.

When Lynn Harrell was 20,he became the principal cellist of the Cleverland Orchestra, and he suffered extreme stage fright. “There were times when I got so nervous I was sure the audience could see my chest responding to the throbbing. It was just total panic. I came to a point where I thought,? If I have to go through this to play music, I think I?m going to look for

another job.”5 Recovery, he said, involved developing humility-recognizing that whatever his talent, he was fallible,and that an imperfect concert was not a disaster.

6 It is not only young artists who suffer, of course. The legendary pianist Vladimir Horowitz?s nerves were famous. The great tenor Franco Corelli is another example. “They had to push him on stage,”Soprano Renata Scotto recalled.

Actually,success can make things worse. “In the beginning of your career, when you?re scared to death, nobody knows who you are, and they don?t have any expectations,”Soprano June Anderson said. “There?s less to lose. Later on, when you?re known, people are coming to see you, and they have certain expectations. You have a lot to lose.

Anderson added,“I never stop being nervous until I?ve sung my last note.”

词汇: veteran / ?vet?r?n / adj.经验丰富的 jittery / ?d??t?ri / adj.紧张不安的

mentor / ?men?t?: / n.指导者 soprano / s??prprɑ:n?? / n.女高音;女高音歌手

psychologists offer wide-ranging advice, from basics like learning pieces inside out…:老师和心理学家给出了方方面面的建议,从基础的做法,比如详细地学习曲目…… inside out:in great detail详细地,从里到外地 5.I came to a point where I thought,?If I have to go through this to play music, I think I?m going to look for another job?.:我曾经一度认为,如果演奏音乐就必须过怯场这一关的话,那我可能得换其他工作了。 6.Recovery, he said, involved developing

humility-recognizing that whatever his talent, he was fallible, and that an imperfect concert was not a disaster.:他后来说,要克服恐惧重要的是学会谦逊,即认识到不论自己多有才,总有可能会失误,一个有瑕疵的音乐会绝对不是世界末日。 练习: 1.Falling down onstage was not a good way for Vladimir Feltsman to deal with his stage fright.

概况大意 第十三篇 Ward off Travel Bugs

1 As the holiday season approaches, so does the prospect of jet lag, an upset stomach or sunburn2. With care and some help from natural sources, however, it is quite possible to avoid these problems.

2

2 You can start to prepare a couple of weeks before you leave. Food poisoning will make any holiday miserable, but by taking some medicine such as lactobacillus and bifidobacteria3, you can reduce the likelihood of succumbing to4 poisoning brought on5 by food or water tainted with unfamiliar bacteria.

3 By improving the bacteria balance in your digestive tract, you crowd out the pathogenic bacteria and stop them gaining a foothold.6 The beneficial bacteria also produce gentle but effective natural antibiotics in your gut.

4 In many holiday locations you need to remember the basics: drink bottled water, avoid undercooked meat and ensure that food hygiene is adequate. If you do succumb to food poisoning, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and see a doctor. However,if you detect diarrhea early enough, you might like to try taking about 10 or 15 pancreatic digestive enzymes, which can digest the multiplying bacteria before they take over.

5 Taking a teaspoon of silicol gel7 can also help. This lines the stomach and upper intestinal area and binds with bacteria and viruses,allowing them to be safely passed out of the gut. When you pack, include grapefruit-seed extract8, which is an excellent all-round anti-bacterial, anti- parasitic,anti-viral and anti-fungal agent.

6 Your flight can also be made more pleasant. Peppermint oil and ginger capsules9 ward off motion sickness,but a more delicious option is to nibble on crystallized ginger. If you tend to get earache on take-off and landing,you can use special earplugs with filler that slows down the rate of change in air pressure.

7 The greatest concern is “economy class syndrome”, the popular name for deep-vein thrombosis, which can lead to blood clots traveling from the legs to the lungs, heart or brain. To reduce this, you need a couple of hours to stay hydrated, and avoid alcohol.

8 You can also reduce the severity of inflammation by taking a daily gram of vitamin C with the bioflavonoid quercetin10. Vitamin C and quercetin also help to reduce prickly heat.

9 Finally, if any adverse symptoms persist while overseas, you should see a doctor.

第三十六篇 Life as a Movie Extra

Ordinary people have always been attracted to the world of movies and movie stars. One way to get closer to this world is to become a movie extra. Although you have seen movie extras, you may not have paid attention to them. Extras are the people seated at tables in a restaurant while the two main actors are in conversation. They are the guests at the wedding of the main characters. They are the people crossing the street while “the bad guy" is being chased by the police. Extras don?t normally speak any lines, but they help make the scenes look real1.

Being a movie extra might seem like a lot of fun. You get to see what life is like behind the scenes. But don?t forget that being an extra is really a job, and it?s mostly about doing nothing. First-time extras are often shocked to learn how slow the process of movie making is. In a finished movie, the action may move quickly. But it can sometimes take a whole day to shoot a scene that appears for just a few minutes on the screen.

The main requirement for being an extra is the ability to wait. You may report to work at 5 or 6 a. m.,and then you wait until the director is ready for your scene. This could take several hours. Then there may be technical problems, and you have to wait some more. After the director says “action”and you do the first “take”,you may have to do it again if he or she is not satisfied with the scene. In fact, you may have to do the same scene over and over again. You could be on the set for hours, sometimes waiting outdoors in very hot or cold weather.2 You may not be finished until 11 p. m. or midnight. The pay isn?t good, either — often only a little bit above minimum wage. And you must pay the agent who gets you the job a commission of about 10 percent.

So who would want to be a movie extra? In spite of the long hours and low pay, many people still apply for the job. Some people truly enjoy the work. They like being on a movie set, and they enjoy the companionship of their fellow extras. Most of them have flexible schedules, which allow them to be available.3They may be students, waiters, homemakers, retired people, or unemployed actors. Some unemployed actors hope the work will help them get real acting jobs, but it doesn?t happen often. Most people in the movie industry make a sharp distinction between extras and actors, so extras are not usually considered for large parts.

答案与题解: 1.B 本文的第三段详细叙述了群众演员的主要工作要求是在拍摄现场等,不用做事,所以答案为B;第一段中描述了群众演员的工作;他们是演员的陪衬,不用讲话。虽然提到他们是在餐馆里,但并没有提是否可以喝饮料,所以D可以排除;A中的only —词太笼统,所以A不对;从第四段可以看出,从群众演员到演员的转型是相当困难的,所以C也不对。 2.A 第二段中说明了令初做群众演员感到吃惊的是:拍一个场景需要一整天,而播放时只有几分钟。虽然B、D都有所提及,但不是令他们吃惊的事情。 3.C 虽然做群众演员耗时长而薪酬低,但他们为什么还选择这一工作呢?答案在第四段:他们喜欢这份工作,愿意与别的群众演员交流,他们自己的工作时间有弹性。A没有提到,B、D不太可能。 4.C 做群众演员的条件是什么?在第三段和第四段,我们可知:要有耐心(长时间等待,一个场景有时要拍好多次),要肯吃苦(在恶劣的户外环境中拍戏),报酬低,工作时间有弹性。A、B没有提到;在第三段的第二句提到:You may report to work at 5 or 6 a. m.,表明只是有时会很早开始工作,不是每日必须的,所以D不对。 5.A 从本文对群众演员的工作描述我们可以看出,群众演员只是演员的道具,所以是乏味的。B没有提到;据第四段的最后一句,C不对;第四段的最后一句清楚表明,群众演员和真正的演员差别很大,所以不是得出的推论,推论是通过字里行间推出来的,不是给出的陈述

补全短文 第十四篇 The Sandwich Generation

Today people often look forward to their middle age as a time when they will be able to take things easier. After their children are grown, they expect to enjoy the life they have worked hard to create. ____(1)____. In middle age, many people discover that they have two ongoing responsibilities1: one is to look after their aging parents,and the other is to help their young adult children deal with the pressures of life. Around the world, there are millions of people who are “sandwiched”in between the older and the younger generations. Sometimes there may be two or three generations living in the same household — a situation that is common in many Asian countries and in some parts of Europe. In other cases, a couple may be taking care of parents and children, but they do not live with them.

There are two important reasons for the rise of the sandwich generation. First, people are living longer than they used to. In the early nineteenth century, the average life expectancy for adults in the United States,for example,was about 40,whereas today people live to an average ageof 75. ____(2)____. The second reason is that these days, young adults often live with their parents for a longer time than they did in the past. This is often for financial reasons. It?s also more common for today?s young adults to return home during or after college if they need financial or emotional support.2

____(3)____. They may have to cover expenses that their parents cannot. They may have to manage their parents?

financial and legal affairs. They may have to prepare for their parents? future needs, such as special medical care or a move to a nursing home. This can be a traumatic experience for everyone.

Caring for adult children presents challenges as well, and caregivers have to resolve important questions; How can

financial responsibilities be shared among members of the household? How can household chores be shared? What is the best way to ensure everyone?s privacy? ____(4)____.
