Thisacquisitionofunderstandingalleviatesmuchofthestress.Nowyoufeelcomfortable;youhaveadjustedtothenewculture.【续】最初使你感到不舒服或陌生的东西,现在已成了你能理解的东西了。这种理解会减轻你的许多压力。现在你感到舒服,你已经适应了新的文化。Evidently,cultureshockissomethingyoucannotavoidwhenlivinginaforeigncountry.Itdoesnotseemlikeaveryhelpfulexperiencewhenyouaregoingthroughitsfourstages.However,whenyouhavecompletelyadjustedtoanewcultureyoucanmorefullyenjoyit.【续】很显然,文化冲击是一种生活在异国他乡的人们无法避免的东西。当你在经历文化冲击的这四个阶段时,它似乎并不是一件有益的事。然而,当你完全适应了某一种新的文化时,你会更加充分地喜爱这种文化的。Youlearnhowtointeractwithotherpeople,andyoulearnaconsiderableamountaboutlifeinaculturethatisnotyourown.Furthermore,learningaboutotherculturesandhowtoadjusttotheshockoflivinginthemhelpsyoulearnmoreaboutyourself.【续】你学会了如何和他人交流,而且你还了解了大量与自己不同文化背景的人们的生活情况。此外,了解其他各种文化以及当你生活在其中时懂得如何去适应所受到的冲击,可以帮助你更好地了解你自己。(完)【译文】法庭判他有罪,必需付原告赔偿金750磅。1.Bytheverdictofthecourtheisfoundguiltyandhastopaytheplaintiffthedamages,setat750pounds.CharlesDickens:ThePickwikPapers)【译文】法庭判他有罪,必需付原告赔偿金750磅。2.Therichsoilofriver-madeplainsfavouredthegrowthofathicklysettledfarmingpopulation,andthisfarmingpopulationhadbeenunitedintoahighlycivilizedkingdom.【译文】河流冲积而成的平原的富饶土壤有利于一个密集定居的农业人口的成长。这个农业人口已统一为一个高度文明的王国。3.Howthesetwothings—energyandmatter—behave,howtheyinteractonewiththeother,andhowpeoplecontrolthemtoservethemselvesmakeupthesubstanceoftwobasicphysicalscience,physicsandchemistry.【译文】能量和物质这两种东西如何起作用,它们如何相互影响,人们如何控制它们使之为自己服务,这些问题构成两门基础自然科学——物理和化学的主要内容。4.Ibelievewearenowmovingintoaperiodsimilartothatafterthelastwar,wherethereisageneralacceptanceoftheneedforamixedeconomy,thatis,acapitalisteconomycombinedwithasubstantialdegreeofgovernmentintervention.【译文】我想我们正在步入一个酷似二战战后的一段时期,人们普遍认为需要建立一种混合经济,使资本主义经济与一定程度的政府干预经济结合起来。5.Andifthissomethingelseisrightlychosen,ifitisreallyattendedbytheilluminationofanotherfieldofinterest,gradually,andoftenquiteswiftly,theoldunduegriprelaxesandtheprocessofrecuperationandrepairbegins.

更可气的是,他们在这两个科目上所提的问题,又几乎全都是我无法做出满意答案的。我一直喜欢回答一些我所熟悉的东西,可他们总是问一些我全都不知道的问题。我一直很想展现自己的才华,可他们却变着法儿让我出丑。其结果是:考试中我屡屡失败。下面是一篇英语短文,有三种不同译文,分析比较并说明其翻译特点:Asregardshealth,IhavenothingusefultosaysinceIhavelittleexperienceofillness.IeatanddrinkwhateverIlike,andsleepwhenIcannotkeepawake.Ineverdoanythingwhateveronthegroundthatitisgoodforhealth,thoughinactualfactthethingsIlikedoingaremostlywholesome.Psychologicallytherearetwodangerstobeguardedagainstinoldage.Oneoftheseisundueabsorptioninthepast.Itdoesnotdotoliveinmemories,inregretsforthegoodolddaysorinsadnessaboutfriendswhoaredead.One’sthoughtsmustbedirectedtothefuture,andtothingsaboutwhichthereissomethingtobedone.Thisisnotalwayseasy;one’sownpastisagraduallyincreasingweight.Itiseasytothinktooneselfthatone’semotionsusedtobemorevividthantheyare,andone’smindmorekeen.Ifthisistrueitshouldbeforgotten,andifitisforgottenitwillprobablynotbetrue.Theotherthingtobeavoidedisclingingtoyouthinthehopeofsuckingvigorfromitsvitality.Whenyourchildrenaregrownuptheywanttolivetheirownlives,andifyoucontinuetobeasinterestedinthemasyouwerewhentheywereyoung,youarelikelytobecomeaburdentothem,unlesstheyareunusuallycallous.Idonotmeanthatoneshouldbewithoutinterestinthem,butone’sinterestshouldbecontemplativeand,ifpossiblephilanthropic,butnotundulyemotional.Animalsbecomeindifferenttotheiryoungassoonastheiryoungcanlookafterthemselves,buthumanbeings,owingtothelengthofinfancy,findthisdifficult.Ithinkthatasuccessfuloldageiseasiestforthosewhohavestrongimpersonalinterestsinvolvingappropriateactivities.Itisinthisspherethatlongexperienceisreallyfruitful,anditisinthisspherethatthewisdombornofexperiencecanbeexercisedwithoutbeingoppressive.Itisnousetellinggrown-upchildrennottomakemistakes,bothbecausetheywillnotbelieveyou,andbecausemistakesareanessentialpartofeducation.Butifyouareoneofthosewhoareincapableofimpersonalinterests,youmayfindthatyourlifewillbeemptyunlessyouconcernyourselfwithyourchildrenandgrandchildren.(BertrandRussell:ASuccessfulOldAge)【译文1】谈到健康,我讲不出金玉良言,因为自己少有病患。我这人吃喝随心,醒睡随意,虽然仔细论来个人爱好于健康多无大害,但却从不刻意去养生保健。从心理学的角度讲,老年人有两忌。一忌过分怀旧。耽于记忆,哀叹旧日,伤怀亡友,这些皆不足取。人要有意识地向前看,有意识地去想仍能有所为之事。当然,这也并非易事。过往的岁月,在我们肩上逐日加重着分量。我们总是认定情感已不复往昔纤细,头脑亦有欠敏锐。倘若真是如此,这话早该被忘记才对;而若人们连这话都记不起,想来话本身也就不会真有道理。老年人第二忌:切忌抓住青年人不放,以求从其青春中汲取活力。儿女一旦长大,就想有自己的生活,如果这时做父母的还像关心小孩子一样对他们面面俱到,就有沦为负担之嫌。当然,特例也有,有的儿女对此就不以为意。我这里不是主张为人父母者不再去关心子女,而是建议父母应从思想上去关心子女,如果有能力的话从经济上去扶持子女。过分地在感情上去关心他们的做法并非上选。动物的幼崽一旦学会自理,母兽就听之任之;但人由于婴儿期长的缘故,父母往往很难对子女完全放手。 我认为有一种人最易将老年活得成功。这种人不拘泥于切身利害,而是依性之所好投入到适宜的活动之中。因为一个人只有在从事这些兴趣爱好时,长期积累的经验才真正得以结出果实,岁月的智慧也最终得以自由流淌。教训长大的子女不要犯错只是徒劳。一是他们不再听从,二是从错误中求教训本是学习之核心。但如若你没有个人爱好,就难免以一味顾念儿孙来填补生活的空虚寞落了。(王巍译)IntheUnitedStates,itisnotcustomarytotelephonesomeoneveryearlyinthemorning.Ifyoutelephonehimearlyintheday,whileheisshavingorhavingbreakfast,thetimeofthecallshowsthatthematterisveryimportantandrequiresimmediateattention.Thesamemeaningisattachedtotelephonecallmadeafter11:00p.m.Ifsomeonereceivesacallduringsleepinghours,heassumesit’samateroflifeanddeath.Thetimechosenforthecallcommunicatesitsimportance.【译文】在美国,人们通常不在清早打电话给别人。如果你在早晨别人刮脸或吃早餐的时候打电话来,那就意味着你有非常重要而紧急的事情。晚上11点之后打来电话也一样。人们在睡觉的时间接到电话时就会以为发生了生死攸关的事。打电话所选择的时间表示事情的重要程度。Insociallife,timeplaysaveryimportantpart.IntheU.S.gueststendtofeeltheyarenothighlyregardediftheinvitationtoadinnerpartyisextendedonlythreeorfourdaysbeforethepartydate.Butitisnottrueinallcountries.Inotherareasoftheworld,itmaybeconsideredfoolishtomakeanappointmenttoofarinadvancebecauseplanswhicharemadeforadatemorethanaweekawaytendtobeforgotten.【译文】时间在社会生活中作用重大。在美国,如果仅仅提前三四天接到宴会的邀请,人们会觉得自己不够受重视。但并不是所有的国家都是这样。在其他国家,人们会觉得提早很多天就预定约会的做法很愚蠢,因为一周以后某一天的计划很有可能被忘掉。Themeaningoftimediffersindifferentpartsoftheworld.Thus,misunderstandingsarisebetweenpeoplefromculturesthattreattimedifferently.PromptnessisvaluedhighlyinAmericanlife.Forexample,ifpeoplearenotprompt,theymayberegardedasimpoliteornotfullyresponsible.IntheU.S.noonewouldthinkofkeepingabusinessassociatewaitingforanhour,foritwouldbetooimpolite.Evenapersonwhoisfiveminuteslateisexpectedtomakeashortapology.【译文】在不同的地区,时间有不同的意义。因此,来自时间观念不同的两种文化氛围中的人之间就会产生误解。比如:美国社会崇尚迅捷。人们会觉得办事不够迅速的人没有礼貌或不够负责。在美国,人们无法想象让生意伙伴等上一个小时,那简直太失礼了。人们觉得即使只迟到了五分钟,也应该简短地表示歉意。1)Nomatterhowbadtheworldmaybecome,nomatterhowmuchthemassmanofthefuturemaylosesuchofthevirtuesashestillhas,onefactremains.Ifonepersonalonerefusestogoalongwithhim,ifonepersonaloneassertshisindividualandinnerrighttobelieveinandbeloyaltowhathisfellowmenseemtohavegivenup,thenatleasthewillstillretainwhatisperhapsthemostimportantpartofhumanity. 【译文】不管世界会堕落到什么地步,不管未来的人会丧失多少他们迄今还保留着的美德,有一个事实依然不变:只要有一个人不肯跟着随波逐流,只要有一个人还会坚持自己植根于心灵深处的权利,信守他的同胞似乎已经放弃的美德,那他至少还会保留着也许是人性中最宝贵的东西。2)Fourdaysaftersettingout,whiletheTitanicwassailingacrosstheicywatersoftheNorthAtlantic,ahugeicebergwassuddenlyspottedbyalookout.Afterthealarmhadbeengiven,thegreatshipturnedsharplytoavoidadirectcollision.TheTitanicturnedjustintime,narrowlymissingtheimmensewalloficewhichroseover100feetoutofthewaterbesideher.【译文】“泰坦尼克”号起航后的第四天,正行驶在北大西洋冰冷的海面上。突然,瞭望员发现正前方有一座冰山。警报拉响后,巨轮急转弯,以避免与冰山正面相撞。“泰坦尼克”号这个弯儿拐得及时,紧贴着高出海面100英尺的巨大冰墙擦了过去。9.Inthesocialproductionwhichmencarryontheyenterintodefiniterelationsthatareindispensableandindependentoftheirwill;theserelationsofproductioncorrespondtoadefinitestageofdevelopmentoftheirmaterialpowersofproduction.Thesumtotaloftheserelationsofproductionconstitutestheeconomicstructureofsociety—therealfoundationonwhichriselegalandpoliticalsuperstructuresandtowhichcorresponddefiniteformsofsocialconsciousness.Themodeofproductioninmateriallifedeterminesthegeneralcharacterofthesocial,politicalandspiritualprocessesoflife.Itisnottheconsciousnessofmenthatdeterminestheirexistence,but,onthecontrary,theirsocialexistencedeterminestheirconsciousness.(KarlMarx:AContributiontotheCritiqueofPoliticalEconomy)【译文】人们在自己生活的社会生产中发生一定的、必然的、不以其意志为转移的关系,即同他们的物质生产力的一定发展阶段相适合的生产关系。这些生产关系的总和构成社会的经济结构,即有法律的和政治的上层建筑建立其上,并有一定的社会意识形式与之相适应的现实基础。物质生活的生产方式制约着整个社会生活、政治生活和精神生活的过程。不是人们的意识决定人们的存在,相反,是人们的社会存在决定人们的意识。(卡尔·马克思《政治经济学批判》)10.Thereisnomonthinthewholeyear,inwhichnaturewearsamorebeautifulappearancethaninthemonthofAugust.Springhasmanybeauties,andMayisafreshandbloomingmonth;butthecharmsofthistimeofyearareenhancedbytheircontrastwiththewinterseason.Augusthasnosuchadvantage.Itcomeswhenweremembernothingbutclearskies,greenfieldsandsweet-smellingflowers—whentherecollectionofsnow,andice,andbleakwinds,hasfadedfromourmindsascompletelyastheyhavedisappearedfromtheearth—andyetwhatapleasanttimeitis!Orchardsandcorn-fieldsringwiththehumoflabor;treesbendbeneaththethickclustersofrichfruitwhichbowtheirbranchestotheground;andthecorn,piledingracefulsheaves,orwavingineverylightbreaththatsweepsaboveit,asifitwooedthesickle,tingesthelandscapewithagoldenhue.Amellowsoftnessappearstohangoverthewholeearth;theinfluenceoftheseasonseemstoextenditselftotheverywagon,whoseslowmotionacrossthewell-reapedfield,isperceptibleonlytotheeye,butstrikeswithnoharshsoundupontheear.(CharlesDickens)【译文】 一年之中,八月的自然景色最美。春天固然美景多多,五月清新,鲜花艳丽,但此乃冬天的反衬所致,八月却不然。八月来临,寒风未至,雪冰无踪,记忆中只是令人愉悦的时光啊!晴朗的天空、碧绿的田野还有那芬芳的花朵。果园里和麦田间回荡着劳动的歌声,果实压满枝头,枝条弯腰垂地,枝条垂地;麦田一片金黄,已收割的庄稼束捆成摞,整整齐齐,未收割的随着阵阵微风曲腰扭肢,似乎向割镰求爱;大地呈现一派祥和、丰收的景象;这时令的气息似乎也触及到每辆大车,车轮慢慢压过收割过的田野,声音悦耳和谐。9.OntheeveningofDecember12,1944,ahostofGermangenerals,theseniorfieldcommandersontheWesternfront,werecalledtoRundstedt’sheadquarters,strippedoftheirsidearmsandbriefcases,packedintoabus,drivenaboutthedark,snowycountrysideforhalfanhourtomakethemlosetheirbearings,andfinallydepositedattheentrancetoadeepundergroundbunkerwhichturnedouttobeHitler’sheadquartersatZiegenbergnearFrankfurt.Theretheylearnedforthefirsttimewhatonlyahandfulofthetopstaffofficersandarmycommandershadknownformorethanamonth:theFuehrerwastolaunchinfourdaysamightyoffensiveintheWest.(WilliamL.Shirer:TheRiseandFalloftheThirdReich)【译文】1944年12月12日晚上,西线的一批德军将领,都是战地高级指挥官,奉召到伦斯德司令部去。他们交出了随身携带的武器和公文箱包,被推进一辆大轿车里,在乡间黑黝黝的雪地里坐了半小时的车,弄得晕头转向,最后给卸在一个很深的地堡的入口处,原来这是希特勒在法兰克福附近的泽根堡大本营。到了那里,他们才初次听到了只有极少数最高级参谋和司令员在一个多月以前就已知道的事情:元首准备要在四天后在西线发动一场强大攻势。10.YourGraceshallunderstand,thatatthereceiptofyourletterIamverysick:butintheinstantthatyourmessengercame,inlovingvisitationwaswithmeayoungdoctorofRome;hisnameisBalthazar.IacquaintedhimwiththecauseincontroversybetweentheJewandAntoniothemerchant:weturn’do’ermanybookstogether:heisfurnishtwithmyopinion,which,better’dwithhisownlearning,—thegreatnesswhereofIcannotenoughcommend,—comeswithhim,atmyimportunity,tofillupyourgrace’srequestinmystead.Ibeseechyou,lethislackofyearsbenoimpedimenttolethimlackareverendestimation;forIneverknewsoyoungabodywithsooldahead.Ileavehimtoyourgraciousacceptance,whosetrialshallbetterpublishhiscommendation.(Shakespeare:TheMerchantofVenice)【译文】尊翰到时,鄙人抱疾方剧;适有一青年博士鲍尔萨泽君自罗马来此,致其慰问,因与详讨犹太人与安东尼奥一案,遍稽群籍,折衷是非,遂恳其为鄙人疱代,以应殿下之召。凡鄙人对此案所具意见,此君已深悉无遗;其学问才识,虽穷极赞辞,亦不足道其万一,务希勿以其年少而忽之,盖如此少年老成之士,实鄙人生平所仅见也。倘蒙延纳,必能不辱使命。敬祈钧裁。(朱生豪译)Inthisnewageofglobalization,China’sleadershiphasdecidedtoseekglobalization’sbenefitsandacceptitsrisks.ThedecisiontojointheWTO,andtoacceptthedisciplinesandrulesthatlieatitsheart,isthelatestimportantstepenablingChinatonavigateglobalization’scurrents.Therefore,IamproudthatmycolleaguesandIhadtheopportunitylastyear,shortlyafterassumingoffice,totaketheleadindrivingtocompleteChina’sadmissiontotheWTOaftertheprocesshadbeenstalledforayearandhalf.
