《大学英语读写》课程教学资源（A）Ⅱ_四级资源_段落翻译_四级翻译练习材料

1.京剧起源于200年前清朝时期的北京，是一种集歌剧表演、歌唱、音乐、舞蹈和武术于一体的表演艺术。自1919年京剧大师梅兰芳先生东渡日本演出后，至今京剧越来越受世界各地人民喜爱。北京歌剧院也已经应邀在许多国家演出，得到了外国观众的高度评价。这些表演对中外文化交流和促进世界人民友好往来作出了卓越的贡献。2.中秋节，中国传统节日之一，为每年农历（lunarcalendar）八月十五。根据农历历法，此时恰是一年秋季的中期，所以被称为中秋。中秋节是在晚上庆祝的，家里的人都聚在一起，点灯笼，吃月饼，观赏圆月。在这天晚上，月亮是最圆最亮的。这轮圆月意味着合家团圆，这就是为什么人们又把它称之为团圆节了。中秋节有悠久的历史，和其它传统节日一样，也是慢慢发展而来的。3.上海位于中国的东海之滨，是我国金融、贸易、航运中心。外滩（theBund）是上海最出名、最吸引人的景点。欣赏外滩的最佳时间是天黑以后，这时所有建筑物都亮起了灯，营造出一片色彩斑澜、引人入胜的景象。外滩壮观的景色不仅吸引了中外游客，还吸引了众多电影人前来取景，拍摄以外滩为背景的电影或者电视剧。游览外滩的方式有两种：乘船和在黄浦江西岸欣赏外滩两岸的景色。4．事实上被中国人广泛应用的自我否定，是与中国人对个人的价值观和集体的价值观的态度紧密相连的。比较而言，中国人更喜欢强调集体的每一个成员所作的共同努力的重要性。在大多数情况下，在中国人因为他们已经做出的一定的成绩而受到赞扬后，他们往往不情愿接受这种赞扬。相反，他们更喜欢表示把成绩归功于支持过他们的领导，归功于给他们提供大力支持的同事们。5.对于“网购迷”而言，每年的十一月份是一年中的最佳时机；因为11月11日，也就是中国的“光棍节”，这天网上商品将会疯狂打折。去年，淘宝网光棍节当天的销售额创纪录地达到了10亿人民币。巨大的发货量使整个快递业务难以负荷，接近瘫痪。现在，一年一度的“双十一”血拼日（shopping spree）又要到了，为了乐享这场购物嘉年华（carnival），有必要学习一些网购技巧与小贴士。6.秦朝是第一个统一中国的朝代。秦始皇作为中国的首个皇帝而被人们所记住。他以绝对的权威进行无情的统治，甚至破坏了与他的理念不一致的古代惯例和文学。虽然秦朝只持续了15年，但它对于中国文化的影响是巨大的。它引入了封建制度（feudalsystem），并使之成为了帝制中国的核心特征。它标准化了度量衡、货币以及书面语。它还完成了巨大的基础设施建设（infrastructureprojects），包括最早的长城。7.香港中文大学成立于1963年，是一所研究型综合大学，以“结合传统与现代，融合中国与西方”为创校使命。40多年来，它一直致力于弘扬中国传统文化，坚持双语（bilingual）教育，并推行独特的书院制度（collegesystem），在香港教育界卓然而立。其校园占地134公顷（hectare），是世界上最美丽的校园之一。灵活的学分制赋予学生更多的学习自主权。它的多元教育有助于发挥每个学生的潜能。8.在1978年以前，中国经济中农业基础很差，轻工业和重工业比例很不均衡。自1978年起，中国采取了一系列政策，优先考虑发展轻工业，加强基础工业和设备的建设，并且致力于发展第三产业（tertiaryindustry），从而让中国的经济结构更加协调（coordinated）、优化（optimized）和平衡。不同产业之间以及产业内部的比例关系已经有明显的改善。第一产业的比例下降了，而第二产业和第三产业的比例则提升了。9.在中国，北方的冬天在12月和3月之间，相当寒冷。北京的气温不会在0℃以上，尽管通常会比较干燥和晴朗。长城以北，在内蒙古（InnerMongolia）和黑龙江，要冷得多。北方的夏季在5月和8月之间。北京的气温偶尔会达到37℃，甚至更
