my self introduction作文带翻译（最新20篇）

其一

少小时就没有随俗气韵，自己的天性是热爱自然。

偶失足落入了仕途罗网，转眼间离田园已十余年。

笼中鸟常依恋往日山林，池里鱼向往着从前深渊。

我愿在南野际开垦荒地，保持着拙朴性归耕田园。

绕房宅方圆有十余亩地，还有那茅屋草舍八九间。

榆柳树荫盖着房屋后檐，争春的桃与李列满院前。

远处的邻村舍依稀可见，村落里飘荡着袅袅炊烟。

深巷中传来了几声狗吠，桑树顶有雄鸡不停啼唤。

庭院内没有那尘杂干扰，静室里有的是安适悠闲。

久困于樊笼里毫无自由，我今日总算又归返林山。

"Shout, shout, shout." Winds and get every tree all in all, the clouds sent to do a "golden bean" bump on the ground. A bolt of lightning like a sword cut the purple dark sky, make me feel creepy. Jingle bell, the school bell has begun, the students with colourful umbrella with parents happily out of school. I think again: my mother told me she couldnt pick me up in the afternoon at noon and told me to his home, thought of here I took my umbrella to block rain to go home. But I put the bag upside down and still have not found a shade of an umbrella. I dull to look at the sky the thunder is rumbling thinking thought again: hurry to clear up! But to no avail, is really should not every day, pray to work! At this time a clear sound broke the silence, "Xie Yujie, didnt you carry an umbrella? You and me together and go home." My classmate said amiable, I embarrassed agreed. His umbrella on the way home has been on my side, the beans of rain straight into his, almost home his clothes wet a large, but he does not care. Returned home after the moving moment thought of here I cant help but recall tearful buccal.

Ah! I finally know, this friendship has given me much help! The friendship gave me a warm, a little help, and trust. Let me understand how important friendship is ah!

有一种友谊是朋友给你的鼓励，有种友谊是大家对你的坚信，还有一种友谊是别人给你的帮助。友谊是我们心灵支撑的擎天柱，让我知道友谊是多么的重要。

“呼、呼、呼。”狂风把每棵树弄的都四处摇晃，乌云派着千万颗“金豆子”往地面上撞。一道紫色的闪电像一把利剑划破了黑暗的天空，让我觉得毛骨悚然。叮铃铃，放学的铃声打响了，同学们打着花花绿绿的雨伞陪着家长开开心心地走出了校门。我又想：中午妈妈告诉我下午她有事不能接我，叫我自己回家，想到这里我准备拿出雨伞打开来遮雨回家。可是我把书包翻了个底朝天也仍然没有发现雨伞的一个影子。我呆呆的望着天上的雷正在隆隆的想着又想道：赶快放晴吧!可是还是无济于事，真是求天天不应，求地地不灵啊!这时一个清晰的叫声打破了沉寂的局面，“谢宇杰，你没带伞吗?我和你一起回家吧。”我同学和蔼可亲的说，我不好意思的答应了。在回家的路上他的雨伞一直往我这边移，那豆子般的雨粒直往他身上撞，差不多到家了他那衣服竞湿了一大块，他却丝毫都不在意。回到家后回想那动人的一刻想到这里我不禁泪流满面颊。

啊!我终于知道了，这个友谊曾经给我多大的帮助啊!这个友谊给我一丝温暖、一丝帮助还有一丝信任。让我明白了友谊是多么的重要呀!

陈敏学，1929年生，是土生土长的广东省深圳市东门人，当时家在“深圳墟”，即今天的老东门一带。

1938年10月12日，日军分三路在大亚湾沿澳头至平海强行登陆，入侵后派一小股部队驻扎在“深圳墟”一带，并开设了一个学习班，逼迫小学生到那里学日语。陈敏学和四、五十个孩子都被拉去。

1943年，陈敏学13岁不到14岁，学了3年日语后出口流利。日军看中这个小鬼的聪明伶俐，将他招到司令部，强迫他给日本人做翻译。日军可谓费尽心机“培养”陈敏学，还给他起了个日本名字“铃木三郎”。

1943年年底，一个寒冷的夜晚，陈敏学家里来了一位不速之客，自称是东宝抗日游击队的。他向陈敏学问了一些他在宣抚班当翻译的情况后，很严肃地说：“我们已经了解过你的情况，知道你在给日军当翻译时，没有干过什么坏事，也帮过不少老百姓，同情被日本仔迫害的人，你也曾经无意中解救过我们的游击队员，他们反映你有正义感，所以，我今天来找你，是想你为我们做点事情。”

陈敏学对游击队早有所闻，他们神出鬼没，炸桥梁、毁铁路、烧炮楼、袭击日军，有时岗田部队抬着伤员回来，陈敏学还暗中叫好呢!可他从来没见过游击队，今天他们竟然找上门来了，面对这个在黑暗中看不清面目的人，他感到一阵莫名的兴奋与惊讶。

“你去帮我们了解日本鬼子的情况，譬如长官叫什么名字，部队叫什么番号，有多少人数，有什么武器，什么时候到哪里去;还有，如果有游击队员被抓，我们会设法通知你，你要想办法协助我们营救。记住!你做这些事情，不能告诉任何人，包括父母兄弟!不然，会招杀身之祸。”来人口气带点命令式，没有半点商量的余地。

来人拍了拍他的脑袋，之后便消失在夜幕中。陈敏学到现在也搞不清楚，来找他的这个人是谁，是怎么样找到他的。陈敏学没提条件，也不讲报酬，自己都说不清当时为何一口就答应了人家。用现代的意识很难诠释往日的观念，陈敏学当时的举动，恐怕只有亲身经历过民族灾难，对侵略者有切肤之恨的人才能理解!

In a year of many programs, my favorite is the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival is also called the Chinese New Year.

According to legend, "year" is a monster, every Chinese new year it ran to the scourge of human people, so people in the door to paste the red antithetical couplet, home burning fire, burning firecrackers to scare away Sheng "year", so the formation of people with fire, burning, paste antithetical couplet Sheng firecrackers is celebrated a year of good harvest and pray for a bumper harvest in the coming year tradition.

As soon as the Spring Festival comes, our family will go to grandmas home. The old house is busy, and the people out are going back. Every year is waiting for my father to write a couplet, we help to stick. The most interesting thing is to put off fireworks and firecrackers, and always do not play enough. Grandpa and grandmas "money" is more than a year, saying that it is saving for us to read the University. With mom and dad went from door to door, a relative blessing, "Happy New Year" "Happy New Year" "fortune" and "when leading" the university entrance exam

The Spring Festival is the end of a year. It is also the beginning of the year. People celebrate the years harvest in the Spring Festival, and summarize the results of the year. The harvest of people on holidays, jubilant, eat delicacy, to reward their relatives. At this time, I will calm down in the bustle, think of the past year, how I have passed, what is worth remembering, and what is worth celebrating. "The plan of a year is spring". Spring is a new beginning of a year, and it is my starting point. We should plan my life for a year and get better results.

母亲，一个多么平凡而伟大的名字呀!每个人都可以从这平凡的名字上而感到深深的爱，是啊，母亲一生辛勤劳作为我们付出了那么多，我们和曾为母亲付出过呢?

母亲，像一堵墙，遮住了风雨，挡住了烈日，好让我们这些不经风雨的小树苗能茁壮成长;母亲，像慈祥的鸟妈妈，每天都用充满爱的手抚摸着我们这些幼雏的羽毛，鼓励我们去搏击万里长空。

我的母亲也像墙，像鸟妈妈那样对我呵护倍至，鼓励有加，尤其让我感激的是母亲常常对失落的我进行引导和鼓励，让那深刻的道理在我的心里生根，发芽，激励我成长。

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。

Xiaomei and I went out this morning. We went to the city centre. We went

window shopping, and then we had lunch at the restaurant. We didnt buy anything

as we didnt have much money, but we still had a wonderful time.

今天上午我和小梅出去了。我们去了市中心。我们去逛街然后到餐馆吃饭。我们没有没东西，因为我们没有多少钱，可是我们过的很开心。

Which is more important, health or wealth? When given this question, different people have varied answers. Some insist that health plays a more important role in our life, while others see more advantages arising from wealth.

健康和财富，哪个更重要?当这个问题被提出来的时候，不同的人有不同的答案。有些人坚持认为，在我们生活中，健康扮演者更为重要的角色，然而其他人认为健康能带给我们更多利益。

The first group of people quote the old saying "Health is above wealth" to prove their idea. They argue that, on the one hand, a strong person can do almost anything as long as he/she tries hard. On the other hand, however, rich people will not be able to enjoy the wealth if their days are numbered.

支持健康更重要的人引用了一句俗语“健康就是财富”来证明他们的观点(是正确的)。他们认为，在某一方面来说，强壮的人，只要他们肯努力，那他们几乎能做任何事情。可是，从另一方面来说，如果有钱人活着的日子屈指可数的话，那他们将没法享受健康。

In contrast, the advocates of wealth have such arguments as follows. For one thing, wealthy people will be able to buy more healthful foods. For another, they can enjoy better facilities to improve their health. Take my neighbor, Lao Wang, as an example. He had a heart attack and is in hospital. However, he cannot afford the expensive operation, which costs as much as 100,000 yuan. Therefore, he has to lie in bed hopelessly. If he were a rich man, his life could be saved.

相反地，支持财富更为重要的人就有以下的争论。首先，有钱的人能买到更有益健康的食物。其次，他们可以享受能提高健康的设备。举个例子来说，我的邻居老王，他有严重的心脏病，并且正在住院(接受治疗)。可是，他没办法负担高达100，000的手术治疗费.因此，他只能毫无希望地躺在病床上。如果他是一个有钱人，那他就能得到治疗。

As far as I am concerned, both health and wealth are important to our life. We should try to strike a balance between them and gain wealth with a healthy body.

我认为，健康和财富对我们生活都很重要。我们应该努力试着在这两者之间做到平衡，并将财富与健康的身体相伴。

Yesterday, I decided to go outside for picnic, but unfortunately, it

suddenly rained.I felt very disappointed, but I knew one thing: next time, when

I decide to do something, I should pay attention to the weather

forecast.Finally, I had to change my mind, and I had to stay at home all day

watching TV and reading books.I like sunny days very much, and I dont like

rainy days any more. But I know if there are no rainy days, there will be a lack

of water, and I know it is very terrible if there is not enough water.But I

still like sunny days because I like sunshine very much.

昨天我决定去野炊，不幸的是突然下雨了，我感到很失望。但我知道了一件事，下次当我决定做什么的时候，应该留意一下天气预报。最后，我不得不改变我的主意。整天呆在家里看电视和书。我很喜欢晴天，一点也不喜欢下雨天。但是我知道如果不下雨的话，我们就没有水，那很糟。但我仍然喜欢晴天，因为我非常喜欢阳光。
