Good morning, dear professors.

It is my honor to have the opportunity for this interview.

First of all, let me introduce myself briefly. My name is melanie, with 22 years old. I was born in Huzhou, a city near to TaiHu lake, north of ZheJiang provice. Perhaps some traditional culture atmosphere, that gives me some steady personal characters and a meticulous work attitude.

To be a doctor is my dream when I was a child. So I selected the major of clinical medicine four years ago, without any hesitations. I know its very hard to be an excellent doctor with clinical medicine, however I never regret my selection.I like these words written by a doctor in her blog"Im not an angle, but I hope I need a heart like angle; I cant save all dying people, but Im willing to give wings to the patients ,helping them recovering". To realize my dream, in the past four years, I am studying and practising hard, helping me lay a solid theoretical foundation, and improving my clinical competence. Beside, I have the propose improving my overall quality, looking at things in a stride way and getting up the responsibilities on my shoulder. In the past four years, I pass the CET 4 and 6, and win the siyuan scholarship and "outstanding student " every academic year.

Finally, I want to say Im an aggressive man .I always believe that one will easily lay behind unless he keeps on learning in this competitive modern world. Of course, if I am given a chance for advanced studies in this famous University, I believe I would never fail your expectation. Ill try my best to study and learn from both theories and practices so as to cultivate myself to be experienced and skilled. And I am a person easy to get alone. I think not only do I have the ability to accomplish a task alone, but also can I get well alone with others.

Lying at the center of Beijing， the Forbidden City， called Gu Gong， in Chinese， was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now known as the Palace Museum， it is to the north of Tiananmen Square. Rectangular in shape， it is the world‘s largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares. Surrounded by a six meter deep moat and a ten meter high wall are 9，999 buildings. The wall has a gate on each side. Opposite the Tiananmen Gate， to the north is the Gate of Devine Might (Shenwumen)， which faces Jingshan Park. The distance between these two gates is 960 meters， while the distance between the gates in the east and west walls is 750 meters. There are unique and delicately structured towers on each of the four corners of the curtain wall. These afford views over both the palace and the city outside. The Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The southern section， or the Outer Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The northern section， or the Inner Court was where he lived with his royal family. Until 1924 when the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court， fourteen emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty had reigned here. Having been the imperial palace for some five centuries， it houses numerous rare treasures and curiosities. Listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987， the Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions world wide.

Construction of the palace complex began in 1407， the 5th year of the Yongle reign of the third emperor of the Ming dynasty. It was completed fourteen years later in 1420. It was said that a million workers including one hundred thousand artisans were driven into the long-term hard labor. Stone needed was quarried from Fangshan， a suburb of Beijing. It was said a well was dug every fifty meters along the road in order to pour water onto the road in winter to slide huge stones on ice into the city. Huge amounts of timber and other materials were freighted from faraway provinces. Ancient Chinese people displayed their very considerable skills in building the Forbidden City. Take the grand red city wall for example. It has an 8.6 meters wide base reducing to 6.66 meters wide at the top. The angular shape of the wall totally frustrates attempts to climb it. The bricks were made from white lime and glutinous rice while the cement is made from glutinous rice and egg whites. These incredible materials make the wall extraordinarily strong.

Since yellow is the symbol of the royal family， it is the dominant color in the Forbidden City. Roofs are built with yellow glazed tiles; decorations in the palace are painted yellow; even the bricks on the ground are made yellow by a special process. However， there is one exception. Wenyuange， the royal library， has a black roof. The reason is that it was believed black represented water then and could extinguish fire.

Nowadays， the Forbidden City， or the Palace Museum is open to tourists from home and abroad. Splendid painted decoration on these royal architectural wonders， the grand and deluxe halls， with their surprisingly magnificent treasures will certainly satisfy "modern civilians".

I have a small mobile phone, is my dad gave me in the Internet, why call it a small mobile phone? Listen to me explain to you slowly.

This phone is The Times of childrens mobile phone, is my favorite cat form of appearance, but also pink!

Dad told me that the phone has a unique model of parents, can through the global satellite positioning, so dad can find me at any time! So that is what it boils down to. I see my dads a piece of my heart, to embrace this original mobile phone.

My cell phone is my little assistant, it when I need help, always help me, such as one time, I was in cram school, the teacher in advance the class was over, but dad still dont know, how to do? My cell phone is like my best friend reminded me that call dad, tell him ahead of the class was over, hurry up to pick me up. At another time, I have a cold, what what to eat to vomit, but I decided to go to cram school insists on that day, the class to the half of the time, I was really sick, sick, for the sake of my health teacher approval I returned home early, so I picked up my little assistant called to tell my dad, my dad arrived immediately, took me to see the doctor, go home for a rest, the second day I am all good!

Small mobile phone with me, can play a lot in my study and life indelible role, so I love my small mobile phone!

我有一部小手机，是爸爸给我在网上淘的，为什么叫它小手机呢?听我慢慢解释给你们听吧!

这款手机是贝倍安的儿童专用手机，外形是我最爱的猫咪形的，而且还是粉色的呢!我可喜欢它了，虽然它不是智能手机，功能十分简单，不能玩游戏不能上QQ，但是它是爸爸特意给我挑选的，我曾问爸爸为什么在别人都用智能手机了，还给我买了这么原始的手机。爸爸告诉我，这款手机它有个独特的家长模式，可以通过全球卫星定位，这样爸爸就可以随时找到我啊!原来是这样啊!我明白了爸爸的一片良苦用心，就欣然接受了这原始的手机。

我的手机是我的小助手，它在我需要求助的时候，总是帮助我，比如有一次，我上补习班，老师提前下课了，但是爸爸还不知道啊，怎么办?我的手机就好像我最好的朋友提醒我，打个电话给爸爸，告诉他提前下课了，快点来接我。还有一次，我感冒了，吃什么吐什么，但是那天我还是决定坚持去上补习班，结果课上到一半的时候，我实在不舒服了，吐了一地，为了我身体着想，老师批准我提前回家，于是我拿起我的小助手打电话把情况告诉爸爸，爸爸马上赶到，接了我去看了医生，回家吃了药好好休息，第二天我就全好了!

小手机伴随着我，在我学习和生活中发挥了许多不可磨灭的作用，所以我爱我的小手机!

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。

It is said that in the year of 300 AD, there was a kind old man and his name was Saint Nicholas. He was always ready to help the poor and often gave presents to them.

Today, Father Christmas is an imaginary figure, but nearly all young children believe in him. They think he is a happy old man with a long white beard and a long red robe.

On the night of the twenty-fourth of December every year, Father Christmas from some cold northern land comes down the chimney of the fireplace to put presents by the beds of children or to fill their stockings. So when children go to bed that night, they hang up their stockings, and on Christmas morning they wake to find them full of presents. Of course, it‘s really their parents who fill the stockings.

Another name for Father Christmas is Santa Claus.

译文：

据说，在公元300年，有一个善良的老人，他的名字是圣尼古拉斯。他总是愿意帮助穷人，常常送礼物给他们。

如今，圣诞老人是一个虚构的人物，但几乎所有的孩子都相信他。他们认为他是一个快乐长长的白胡子和一个长长的红色长袍的老人。

在第二十每年的十二月份的第四夜，父亲从寒冷的北方一些圣诞归结土地的壁炉烟囱提出的儿童床礼物或填补他们的袜子。因此，当孩子上床睡觉，那天晚上，他们就挂上他们的袜子，并在圣诞节早晨醒来发现他们装满礼物。当然，这需要他们的父母谁填补了袜子。

圣诞老人的另一个名字是圣诞老人。
