New Year starts with the New Moon on the first day of the new year and ends on the full moon 15 days later. The 15th day of the new year is called the Lantern Festival, which is celebrated at night with lantern displays and children carrying lanterns in a parade.

The Chinese calendar is based on a combination of lunar and solar movements. The lunar cycle is about 29.5 days. In order to "catch up" with the solar calendar the Chinese an extra month once every few years. This is the same as adding an extra day on leap year. This is why, according to the solar calendar, the Chinese New Year falls on a different date each year.

New Years Eve and New Years Day are celebrated as a family affair, a time of reunion and thanksgiving. The celebration was traditionally highlighted with a religious ceremony given in honor of Heaven and Earth, the gods of the household and the family ancestors.

The sacrifice to the ancestors, the most vital of all the rituals, united the living members with those who had passed away. Departed relatives are remembered with great respect because they were responsible for laying the foundations for the fortune and glory of the family.

The presence of the ancestors is acknowledged on New Years Eve with a dinner arranged for them at the family banquet table. The spirits of the ancestors, together with the living, celebrate the onset of the New Year as one great community. The communal feast called "surrounding the stove". It symbolizes family unity and honors the past and present generations

算着,中秋节要到了。月饼是每年中秋不可少的东西之一,上上下下的工程,这周开工,正好。

未时,我与妈妈准备材料,一样样,陈在小备餐车上。未时一刻,我和妈妈沉干净手,戴上干净的手套,放上称,正式开工!

首先,要做月饼的皮,那软软的、甜甜的、口感细腻的。它由两个东西组成——“月饼专用”糖浆和中筋小麦粉。将糖浆与小麦粉混合,成黄色面团。我把黄色面团包好,放在一旁,接着,要做里面的陷了。

月饼,最迷人的,不是那精致小巧的表面,而是它的“心一一陷。我想起林会的《软枝杨桃》:我们自以为聪明,其实比鸟雀还笨,甚至比虫还笨。那些没有喷衣药的水果,外表虽然丑一点,虫鸟都爱吃:那些喷了农药的水果,外表虽美,虫鸟都不会吃,知道吃了不健康。人只注意外表的美丑,虫和鸟却看到了更深的内在啊!”是的,陷是月饼的心,心美了,整个才会美。我不由得回忆起去年的中秋节。那次中秋,妈妈的朋友送了她“一大盒”月饼,说是一大盒,其实是一个大大的精致漂亮礼盒包装,与两个难吃的月饼一一厚厚的皮,陷偷工减料,它的“心”不美,礼盒包装再精致、再漂亮,都是尘垢枇糠。

这次做月饼,让我领悟了一些道理……

大家都说月饼象征着团圆,我也这样认为。一想到月饼既漂亮又香甜,我就情不自禁地咽口水。今年中秋节,我想不如这个中秋节我们自个儿做月饼吧。我把想法告诉了家人,大家都表示赞同。

说干就干,我们决定做苏式月饼。苏式月饼外面有一层酥酥脆脆的皮,里面有各种香甜的馅,就好像千层饼一样,我最喜欢吃了。奶奶负责和面,爷爷负责做馅子,爸爸妈妈做我的助手。嘻嘻,你们是不是已经猜到我要干什么啦?对,我就是这次的“小小厨师”。

各种准备就绪,下面我就要隆重登场一显身手了。第一步,我把一大块面上取下一个个像桂圆一样大小的面团。第二步,我把面擀成不大不小的面皮,妈妈提醒我注意不要太薄,我就小心擀着,让妈妈帮忙看着,擀成一个个圆圆的面皮。第三步,把面皮正中间放上馅子,然后压成饼形。最后放进烤箱大约等半个小时就够了。一想到自己亲手制作的月饼马上就要呈现在大家面前,我既兴奋又激动,想象着一家人围坐在阳台上,品尝着香甜的月饼,欣赏着月亮的美好画面,我的心里美滋滋的,而且我还打算分给左邻右舍,让他们一起分享这甜蜜的美食。

“叮铃铃……”时间到了,我迫不及待地打开烤箱,香甜的月饼立刻呈现在我的面前。今天真的好开心啊,真是一个有意义的中秋节。

中秋节那天,我手拿一块月饼,盼望着奶奶会出现,希望我能把手中的月饼递给她。

可我等了好久好久,怎么盼,都望不见奶奶的身影,我咬了一口月饼,思绪如同月饼馅一样,猛得向我涌来……

去年中秋节,我们全家人都围在桌前,看着窗外的月亮,奶奶说:“快吃吧!今天的月饼味道特棒!”我一听,急忙跑过去,拿起一个月饼,月饼好像不想让我吃它似的,一滑,从手中滚了下去,他们瞪着特大的眼睛,看着我,连我自己都还没反应过来。奶奶出来解围了,她微笑着说:“这月饼还挺调皮的,没事儿,我的心肝宝贝儿,再拿一个吧!”我的脸上顿时绽放出了笑容,我小心翼翼地拿起一个新月饼,生怕它再掉下去。

一个月色如雪的夜晚,我问奶奶:“为什么中秋节要吃月饼呢?”奶奶指着天上的月亮,微笑着说:“月饼代表一家团圆,吃月饼,就表示我们一家永远不分开。”说着,奶奶把我拥在怀中,我也紧紧抱着她。

可是现在,只有我,爸爸妈妈和爷爷吃着月饼,一点也不开心,妈妈想让我开心些,便说:“宝贝,你看看今天的月亮好圆呀!”我只是低声应和了一声,她看穿了我的心思,便不做声了,我想:奶奶在上海过得好吗?在这个时候,奶奶手中是不是同样捧着一个月饼呢?奶奶会不会想:我的心肝宝贝现在怎么样了?

哦,月饼,请把我对奶奶的思念,带给她吧!

关于考试作弊的(About cheating in exams)-共三篇

第一篇:

It is known to us that some students cheat in the examinations at school.

Why do students cheat? For most of the time, students cheat because the exams are too hard for them. It’s easy to see that they haven’t studied hard enough to pass the exams. Others may want to get a higher mark by all means--frankly speaking, they want to be praised or even admired.

As a result, exams certainly become unfair for non-cheating students. And soon the majority of the students will learn and choose to cheat in exams so as to “follow the style.”

Therefore, we must take measures now. First, students need an honest study environment, and second, they should be told to pay more attention to the discipline and seriously obey it all the time.

In a word, students can not cheat on any account.

英文请假条格式

请假条(written request for leave)是英语学习者必须掌握的常用应用文之一,它包括请病假(note for sick leave)和请事假(leave of absence)。请假条是用于向老师或上级领导等因身体状况不好或因某事请求准假的场合。

英文请假条写作需注意三点:

1.英文中请假条的写法和汉语请假条相同, 它一般由四部分组成,即时间、称呼、正文和签名。

2.一般而言,可认定请假条是一种简单的书信文体。请假条一般写在纸上,不用信封。其书写格式与书信有很多相似之处,是书信的大大简化。

3.请假条的特点是要求开门见山、内容简短、用词通俗易懂。

【范文例析】

假如你是王立。昨天你和同学们去农场帮助农民们摘苹果,不幸(unluckily)从梯子上摔下来伤了腿,但伤得不重。医生让你在家里好好休息。因此,你向高老师请假两天(ask for leave for two days)。(2002新疆乌鲁木齐中考题)

【参考范文】

Sep.28

Dear Miss Gao,

Im sorry I cant go to school today. I helped the farmers pick apples with my classmates on the farm yesterday. Unluckily, I fell off the ladder and hurt my leg, but I wasnt badly hurt. The doctor asked me to stay in bed and have a good rest. So I ask for leave for two days. Wang Li

【点评】这是一份采用书信格式写的请假条。日期是September 28, 日期写在正文的右上角。由于请假条的内容大多是当天、近几日因病或因事请假,所以不必写上年份;称呼是Dear Miss Gao,称呼写在左上角。请假条因是向上级请示,一般以Dear...,或My dear...,开头。有时可在Dear之后,用上Mr.或Miss等的称呼加上姓氏。不过,有一点仍要提醒大家,各种称呼后面一般都用逗号。正文谈了一件事:I fell off the ladder and hurt my leg, but I wasnt badly hurt. I cant come to school. I ask for leave for two days. 简洁明了,用词口语化。写请假条只要把请假的理由和请假时间说清楚即可。有的请假条为了说明其请假事由是真实的,在正文之后另起一行,写上I enclose a doctors certificate.(我附上了医生证明。);签名为Wang Li。签名(署名)写在右下角,签名(署名)上面一行可以写上Yours, Your student等字样,有时由于写条的人和收条的人彼此一般很熟悉,所以在称呼和签名上比较随便和简单。特别是在签名部分,有时可简单到只写个姓或只写个名就可以了。

今天是星期六下午,我们去了一个豪华的蛋糕房,叫做“简?爱遇见你”。我们的任务是一项好玩的活动――做月饼

我们来到“简?爱遇见你”之后,发现那牌子是白底粉字,橱窗上陈列着各种蛋糕。我们一进到屋子中,好凉快呀!这凉快的感觉之中还有一股浓浓的香气。

制作室中摆着各种机器――虽然我不知道那都是什么。然后,我们通过“密道”进来了一个“密室”。“密道”的后面有一张很大很大的长桌子,那就是我们完成任务的场地。

师傅姓张,穿着灰色的衣服,看起来精神抖擞!张师傅拿起一个大盘子给我们发了面团和枣泥。那枣泥好像一团巧克力啊!我首先把枣泥和面团都弄成了团子,然后把面放在了手上。我拍,我拍,我拍拍拍!哈哈!我要让全班人知道你是怎么臣服于我手心之中的。不久,毫无破绽的团子被我拍成了一个毫无破绽的饼子。我又把“巧克力”放在了我的饼子中间。好,现在我用面把馅儿包了起来。我又把它们揉成了团。最后一步,我用“定型机”一摁一提,一个半成功的月饼好了!

我国一年一度的传统佳节——中秋节又到来了。在这个仅次于春节的节日里,奔西走的人们也要阖家团圆,边吃月饼边赏明月。而今年的中秋节却我们过得别有一番模样:往年的月饼都是买来的,但这一次我们却自己动手做月饼。

这天一早,我迷迷糊糊的睁开眼睛,洗漱完毕,吃完早饭,妈妈便告诉我今天我们要自己做月饼的消息,我高兴得一蹦三尺高。

首先,妈妈去商场买了做月饼的材料和做月饼的模具。妈妈买的月饼馅各式各样,有:豆沙、芝麻、花生、红豆……模具也大不相同:有花形的;有刻着“阖家团圆”的;还有刻着“中秋快乐”的……

开始做月饼了,我和妈妈进入厨房,我跟着妈妈穿上围裙开始做月饼!我们一家最喜欢吃豆沙月饼,所以当然要先做豆沙月饼喽!

我们把手洗干净,接着妈妈给我示范了一遍做月饼的过程,我便开始做:开始我像一只无头苍蝇,面团在我手里不听使唤,妈妈看见,让我先把面团放在手里,斡成碗形,接着把豆沙馅包进去,接着妈妈随便拿了个模具给我,让我接着往模型的图案上滴上几滴油,再把面团放进模型里挤压,虽然有点丑,但这是我亲手做的第一个月饼,纯天然不含添加剂的哦!又经过了几次练习后,一个个可爱的月饼宝宝在我手里诞生了!

晚上,明月恰似玉盘高挂天空,洒下柔和的月光,抚摸着大地。月饼也烤好了,端出来,香气四溢,让人垂涎三尺。我拿起一个月饼,只见它金灿灿的,宛如一个月亮,咬一口,真是太好吃了,比我以前吃的任何一个月饼都好吃,令人回味无穷。

我期待明年的中秋快点到来,到时候我还要自己做月饼!

Mr. Louis is my Chinese teacher. She was of medium height, slender, with two eyebrows on her lanky face, a pair of squinting eyes, and a pair of pink glasses on her high nose, about thirty years old. Her speech was vivid and vivid in class, her tone was cadenced and her emotions were real. People are kind and strict.

I remember that it was one of the things that happened early on, and I came to the school early in the morning and put my exercise books on the table, and I happily picked up the Chinese book and read aloud the text aloud.

After about a quarter of an hour or so, Mr. Louis walked into the classroom with a smile on his face, went up to the lectern, took out the red pen and handed the students the homework. After more than ten books, I found that the teachers face gradually changed from sunny to cloudy, and some of my classmates workbooks were taken to the stage. When it was my turn, my heart was both happy and afraid. I was glad that the teacher could see the homework I had finished. The fear is that the teacher will also take away my exercise book. Not sure enough, I saw the workbook lying on the table, trying to get it down, but it was impossible.

After class, the teacher overlooks his face and says to us, "if you want to have a workbook, please come to my office." Then he picked up the book and went away. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was still not happy. I didnt know what was waiting for me: reprimand, criticism, praise... Oh, I dont think so.

After the second lesson, I and the students went to the teachers office and prepared to be taught. Who knows, the teacher changed the normal, kindly say: "last night go back why dont finish earnestly, ask you a few to correct the error in the workbook." Several of us took the exercise books nervously and fell on the teachers desk to correct them all. Then, let the teacher see again. Then the teacher smiled and said, "thats right. The people who read more should pay attention, the homework also cannot be careless!" We listened, and the mood was like a stone falling to the ground and running out of the office.

You say, how can such a teacher not let us like?

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival  the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It  sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by Englh speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; th day  called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Years Eve  known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Chinese New Year  the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year  itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year  a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year  considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal), Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (Tt), and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year  also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand.

篇20: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。
