I was so excited when i entered the college. For so many years, I worked hard to achieve this dream and finally i made it. Everything seemed fresh and curious to me. I was so pleased that I would enjoy my college life soon.

Therefore, I had little time to read magazines and novels and watch TV. what was worse, I couldnt play with my friends a lot, which I couldnt stand the most.

I spend most of my time reading in the library, where I can open my eyes and broaden my mind.In my free time, I also join some clubs,where i can make a lot of friends of different majors.

It is truth that gender discrimination still exists when female comes to find work, some females never mention her gender on the resume, just to make sure that the employers will give them the chances to get the interview. Females should improve their competiveness, so that they will have more work chances.

事实上,当女性去找工作的时候,性别歧视仍然存在,一些女性从来不在简历上提到自己的性别,仅仅是为了确保雇主能给她们机会面试。女性应该提高她们的竞争力,这样她们就会有的工作机会。

First, the female should show their positive attitudes toward the life and work. Female students should see their advantages clearly before hunting for a job, and highlight it in their resumes. For instance, they might emphasize that they are careful and considerate in work, patient and cooperate with colleagues as well. But the positive toward life and work brings them to a high level, which will impress the employer.

第一,女性应该展示她们乐观的生活和工作态度。女学生应该在找工作前清楚地了解她们的优势,并在简历上面强调。比如,她们可以强调她们在工作上认真和细心,对同事有耐心和乐于合作。但是乐观的生活和工作态度能让她们更上一个台阶,也能给雇主留下深刻的印象。

Second, female students must be confident. Lots of big companies like to hold a group discussion to select people, those who are silent and find it difficult to get involved in the discussion will not be considered. The employers think such people are not confident and won’t do well in the work.

第二,女学生必须自信。很多大型公司喜欢举行小组讨论来选人,那些保持沉默和难以融入讨论的人是不被考虑在内的。雇佣者认为这样的人不自信,无法胜任工作。

It is necessary for women to improve competiveness, if they want to go further than males. The positive attitude and being confident will let female win more chances.

对于女性来讲,提高竞争力是很重要的,如果他们想要比男性走得更远些。乐观的态度和表现自信会让女性赢得的机会。

Dear Sir,

I saw your advertisement for "the perfect lighter" in Sunday Times last

week and immediately sent off a £2 postal order and the completed form for the

lighter.

Imagine my surprise when all I got in return was a box of matches! I could

understand a mistake. I might even pardon a joke. But in this case, your

advertisement is a deliberate lie since a friend of mine who also sent the

coupon got the same result.

I think its a shame to promise an economical lighter when in fact you are

not selling a lighter a1 all. Instead of saying it works quickly, you should

admit that you are offering matches. And what about "only" £2: I usually pay 10

pennies for a box of matches, and they are often given away free.

I regard your advertisement as a serious deception and demand that you send

me my money back immediately. Otherwise I will take active steps to make sure

the Consumers Association hear about it.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Li

篇15:英文谚语的汉语翻译

全文共 2554 字

+ 加入清单

有两则关于同一条英语谚语Blood is thicker than water的译例。其一是“清水不浓血却浓”,其二是“血浓于水”。从字面上看,上述两则译例译得固然不错,似无可厚非。译文读起来很顺,又比较易懂,但读后似有不知所云之感。

这是因为译文的形象没能准确地传达出这条谚语的喻义来。

Longman Dictionary of English Idioms(p.28)上对这条谚语的解释是“The relationship between people of the same family is stronger than other,relationships”因此,这则谚语似可以借用汉语中一句俗语“亲不亲一家人”来译更能表达出“属于同一血缘关系的一家人比别人更亲近一些”的寓意。

语言是文化的表现形式。谚语同文学作品、诗歌一样是语言的精华。英语谚语是富于色彩的语言形式,一般具有生动形象、喻义明显、富于哲理的语言特征。在一定程度上,英语谚语反映了英语民族的文化特点。因此,翻译英语谚语时,仅仅以语言之间词汇的同义性(等价性)为前提,寻求对等的表现是不够的。译者须较多运用汉语的表现手段,力求能再现英语谚语的语言风格和丰富内涵。只有多注意英语谚语字面以外所特有的语言内涵色彩,才能使译文讽喻得当,宜于说理,又不失原来谚语所具有的语言形象。

某些英语谚语和汉语成语、俗语在表现形式和含义方面是一致的或基本一致的。汉译这些英语时,可惜用与其喻义相同或相近的成语或谚语及俗语直接对译。这样不但可以比较好地保持原文的神韵和形式,又使译文易于为读者或听者接受。如:

Pride comes before a fall.骄兵必败。

Amiss is as good as a mile.差之毫厘,失之千里。

Two is company,but three is none.两个和尚抬水吃,三个和尚无水吃。

Walls have ear.隔墙有耳。

Enough is as good as a feast.知足常乐。

有些英语谚语虽然在语言习惯和文化背景方面和其相对的汉语谚语之间存在着某些差异,而且所比喻的事物并不一样,但他们的喻义却相互吻合,而且表达方式也很相似,汉译这些英语谚语时,常常需要“易其形式,存其精神”,即采用形象近似的汉语成语意译。这样可使译文既喻义明显,又含而不露,且可再现原文所具有的语言效果,容易达意。如:

Two can play the game.孤掌难鸣。

Newbroom sweeps clean.新官上任三把火。

Speak of the devil,and he appears.说曹操,曹操到。

The grass is greener on the other side of the hill.这山望着那山高。

Putting the cart before the horse.本末倒置。

有些英语谚语意在言外,语言含蓄,寓意深刻。如果仅从字面意义直译成汉语,而不领会原文的具体含义及其效果,译文势必平淡无味。这样既不能表达意思,又有损于原文的语言形象和丰富内涵。因此,在翻译时,应在汉语中寻找那些与原文喻义相同或效果相似的成语、谚语或俗语来表达,则会使译文形象生动,准确达意。试比较下列各译例。

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.如译成“住在玻璃房子里的人,不应扔石头”不如译成“己有过,勿正人”或“责人必先责己”。

In fair weather prepare for the foul.如译成“晴天要防阴天”,不如译成“有备无患”或“居安思危”或“未雨绸缪”。

Murder will out.如译成“谋杀终必败露”,不如译成“纸包不住火”。

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.如译成“愚者敢闯天使不敢去的地方”,不如译成“初生牛犊不怕虎”。

One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.如译成“想吃煎蛋卷,就得打鸡蛋”,不如译成工“有得必有失”或甚至可以引申为“不破不立”。

如果所要翻译的谚语喻义清新,形象逼真,按其字面直译其意,就能表达出原文的喻义来,则可直译。这样做既能较完整地保存原文的表达方式,且又可丰富我们自己的语言文化,一举两得,请看下面的译例。

God helps those who help themselves.上帝帮助那些自己帮助自己的人。或“自助者天助之”。

Money is the root of all evil.金钱是万恶之源。

An empty sack cannot stand upright.空袋立不直。

Do as you would be done by. 以你所期望的别人待你的方式待人。

这与另一谚语: Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.“己所不欲勿施于人”很相似。

Money talks.钱能通神。

有些英语谚语常常采用对称的修辞手段。使用这一修辞手段的目的在于加强语势,宜于说理,读后有心悦诚眼之感。汉译这些谚语时,应适当注意保持其修辞色彩,以便体现原文的表达方式。如:

You may take a horse to the water, but you can’t make it drink.

如果按字面译成,“你可以把马牵到河边去,但不能叫它饮水”至少是没有充分体现这句谚语本身所具有的强烈对比色彩。从语法分析的观点看,在这个句子里,情态动词may和can虽然都表示“可能”的,但在含义上有所不同。这里may表示“事实上的可能性”,而can则表示“逻辑上的可能性”。并列连词but使前后两个分句意义相反,对比色彩强烈。在这种情况下,译文也必须力求对偶整齐,前后呼应,形成对照。如将此句译作“牵马河边易,逼它饮水难”或“老牛不喝水,不能强按头”会更好些。

总之,即使像谚语这样孤立的语句,翻译时也需尽一番揣摩切磋之功,否则译文就可能与原文“貌合神离”,文不达意。译事艰辛也许正在于此。

篇17:温斯顿·丘吉尔:生活侧记-名人传记英文故事

全文共 4543 字

+ 加入清单

My father, Winston Churchill, began his love affair with painting in his 40s, amid disastrous circumstances. As First Lord of the Admiralty in 1915, he was deeply involved in a campaign in the Dardanelles that could have shortened the course of a bloody world war. But when the mission failed, with great loss of life, Churchill paid the price, both publicly and privately. He was removed from the admiralty and effectively sidelined.

Overwhelmed by the catastrophe — “I thought he would die of grief,” said his wife, Clementine —he retired with his family to Hoe Farm, a country retreat in Surrey. There, as Churchill later recalled, “The muse of painting came to my rescue!”

Wandering in the garden one day, he chanced upon his sister-in-law sketching with watercolors. He watched her for a few minutes, then borrowed her brush and tried his hand. The muse had cast her spell!

Churchill soon decided to experiment with oils. Delighted with this distraction from his dark broodings, Clementine rushed off to buy whatever paints she could find.

For Churchill, however, the next step seemed difficult as he contemplated with unaccustomed nervousness the blameless whiteness of a new canvas. He started with the sky and later described how “very gingerly I mixed a little blue paint on the palette, and then with infinite precaution made a mark about as big as a bean upon the affronted snow-white shield. At that moment the sound of a motor car was heard in the drive. From this chariot stepped the gifted wife of Sir John Lavery .”

“ ‘Painting!’ she declared. ‘But what are you hesitating about? Let me have the brush — the big one.’ Splash into the turpentine, wallop into the blue and the white, frantic flourish on the palette, and then several fierce strokes and slashes of blue on the absolutely cowering canvas.”

At that time, John Lavery— a Churchill neighbor and celebrated painter— was tutoring Churchill in his art. Later, Lavery said of his unusual pupil: “Had he chosen painting instead of statesmanship, I believe he would have been a great master with the brush.”

In painting, Churchill had discovered a companion with whom he was to walk for the greater part of the years that remained to him. After the war, painting would offer deep solace when, in 1921, the death of the mother was followed two months later by the loss of his and Clementine’s beloved three-year-old daughter, Marigold. Battered by grief, Winston took refuge at the home of friends in Scotland, finding comfort in his painting. He wrote to Clementine: “I went out and painted a beautiful river in the afternoon light with crimson and golden hills in the background. Alas I keep feeling the hurt of the Duckadilly (Marigold’s pet name).”

Historians have called the decade after 1929, when the Conservative government fell and Winston was out of office, his wilderness years. Politically he may have been wandering in barren places, a lonely fighter trying to awaken Britain to the menace of Hitler, but artistically that wilderness bore abundant fruit. During these years he often painted in the South of France. Of the 500-odd canvases extant, roughly 250 date from 1930 to 1939.

Painting remained a joy to Churchill to the end of his life. “Happy are the painters,” he had written in his book Painting as a Pastime, “ for they shall not be lonely. Light and color, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end of the day.” And so it was for my father.

我的父亲,温斯顿·丘吉尔,在他四十多岁时开始迷恋上绘画,当时环境异常恶劣。那是在1915年,任海军大臣的他,积极投身于在达达尼尔海峡的一场战役中,这场战役本可以缩短那段血雨腥风的世界大战。但由于遭受失败,伤亡惨重,丘吉尔于公于私都付出了代价。他被从海军部调离且实则坐起了冷板凳。

在灾难的折磨下——他的妻子克莱门廷说:“我想他会痛苦而死,”——他携家带口来到萨利郡的一处乡间静居霍·华姆。在那儿,丘吉尔后来回忆道,“是绘画中的冥思拯救了我!”

一天他在花园散步时,偶然看到他的弟媳在用水彩作画。他观察了几分钟,然后向她借了画笔并一试身手。他的专注仿佛给他施了魔法!

丘吉尔很快就决定试试去画油画。看到他从阴暗的忧郁思中解脱出来,克莱门廷非常开心,她赶忙去买所有能买到的颜料。

然而,迈出下一步似乎有些困难,因为丘吉尔看到一块新画布的洁白无暇时感到无所适从和为难。他先从天空画起,后来他描述如何“非常谨慎地在调色板上加入一点儿蓝色调,然后以万分的小心,在这块被蓄意冒犯的雪白的防护板上点上豌豆大的一笔。这时,传来一阵驾驶机动车的马达声。约翰·拉威利先生才华出众的太太从这辆车中姗然而下。

“‘在画画呀!’她高声说着。‘可你还在犹豫什么呢?给我那支笔——那支头号的。’只见松油飞溅,她在蓝白颜料间挥毫泼墨,在调色板上龙飞凤舞,接着在吓得发皱的油画布上用力东戳西捣几下蓝色。”

那时,约翰·拉威利——丘吉尔的邻居,也是一位有名的画家—正教丘吉尔学画。后来提及他的这位特殊的学生,拉威利说:“倘若他选择绘画而不是从政,我相信他会是位绘画大师的。”

在绘画中,丘吉尔找到了能陪他度过余生大部分时光的知已。战后,在1921年,母亲刚去世两个月,他和克莱门廷就失去了他们深爱着的三岁女儿玛丽戈尔德,这时作画给了他一些安慰。在痛苦的打击下,温斯顿来到苏格兰朋友们的家中以求得安慰,用绘画来解脱自己。他在给克莱门廷的信中说:“我出外画了一条夕阳下美丽的溪流,背后映衬着晚霞的群山。唉,达克迪莉(玛丽戈尔德的昵称)使我的苦痛总是挥之不去。

史学家把1929年后的十年,也就是保守党政府垮台而温斯顿下台的时间,称为他的荒凉岁月。政治上,他一直在举步维艰的处境中徘徊,是一个孤独的勇士在努力唤起受到希特勒威胁的国人,但在艺术上他在那荒凉岁月却硕果累累。这些年他经常在法国南部作画。在现存的500多张油画中,大约250张是1930至1939年间的作品。

绘画给丘吉尔带来了乐趣直到他的人生尽头。在他所著的《画中的消遣》里说:“画家其乐融融,因为他们不会孤独。光与色,和平与希望,会始终伴随他们。”我父亲就是这样一个人。
