篇2:封信英语翻译

全文共 1947 字

+ 加入清单

Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. Nothing is easy if you

don’t try your best.

We often hear people say, “Never give up.” A person who believes in these

words will keep trying to pursue his goal no matter how many times he fails. In

my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.

Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.

One reason is that if we give up easily, we will achieve nothing. It is not

unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not

feel discouraged. Besides, if we always give up when fail happens, we will can

not develop new skills. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to

reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed

in other areas of our lives.

Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. Born into

poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight

elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown. He could

have quit many times - but he didnt and because he didnt quit, he became one

of the greatest presidents in the history of America.

Lincoln was a champion For the reason that ---he ,never gave up.

In short, no matter you succeed or not, you can learn something, no matter

what we learn will help us to become more confident. If we give up, we have no

chance to make our dreams come true, if we keep trying, there is always a

chance, that we will succeed one day. Thank you very much!

世上无难事,只怕有心人。如果你不努力,没有什么是容易的。

我们经常听到人们说:“永不放弃。”一个相这些话的人,无论失败多少次,都将继续追求他的目标。在我看来,成功的决心是很重要的。因此,我认为我们不应该放弃。

一个原因是,如果我们轻易放弃,我们将一事无成。我们第一次尝试新事物时失败并不罕见,所以我们不应该感到气馁。此外,如果我们总是在失败的时候放弃,我们就无法发展新的技能。最后,我们永远不应该放弃,因为当我们努力实现我们的目标时,我们会建立信心,这种信心能帮助我们在生活的其他方面取得成功。

也许最伟大的坚持就是亚伯拉罕·林肯。林肯出身贫寒,一生都面临失败。他在8次选举中失败,两次失败,并经历了精神崩溃。他本可以放弃很多次,但他没有,因为他没有放弃,他成为了美国历史上最伟大的总统之一。

林肯是一个冠军,因为他从不放弃。

总之,无论你成功与否,你都可以学到一些东西,无论我们学到什么都会帮助我们变得更加自信。如果我们放弃,我们就没有机会实现我们的梦想,如果我们继续努力,总有机会,我们终有一天会成功。非常感谢!

导语:霾很严重了。环境保护已经成为全球刻不容缓的话题。对于政府及企业来说,重视环保事业,让我们的生存环境变得更好,至关重大。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

As is vividly depicted from the above picture,it seems to be astonishing and thought-provoking on second thoughts. The most eye-catching feature in the picture that impresses me profoundly is that incredibly even the pet dog wears a mask to prevent the terrible smog and haze. As a matter of fact, recent years has witness target=_blank class=infotextkey>witnessed a severe air-pollutionphenomenon triggered by automobile gas emission and industrial exhaust, which will definitely bedisastrous to individualsurvival and personal development.

It goes without saying that the problem of hazy weather should be attached great importance to by the government and the consequences should be taken into profound consideration. To account for the above-mentioned air-pollution phenomenon, a couple of severe reasons should be pointed out. On the one hand , the severely polluted air industrial wastes have been pumped into the air, the lakes and rivers and an increasing number of automobiles crowd into the streets and produce the gas emission. On the other hand, the widespread use of plastic bags and coal burning as well as the nationwide construction dust have been pumped into the air from time to time.

As a matter of fact, the smog and haze not only does harm to the lungs and noses but alsogives rise to horrible traffic accidents. In addition, no issue is as harmful as theenvironmental deterioration, which will be a potential threat to the survival of human beings that we are unwilling to see. Just according to a recent survey made by one Morning News, more than 40 percent of Chinese cities are suffering from the hazy weather per year.

As a result, it is essential that a couple of effective measures should be taken to prevent the environmental pollution. To start with, the local government should take more steps, such as closing the factories which produced too much industrial exhaust, planting more trees and develop more high-tech products so that air quality can be better and the weather can be more agreeable. In addition, the government should severely punish those who destroy the environment intentionally. Last but not least, it is urgent to limit the number of private cars in the urban cities and we should adopt the most cutting-edge technologies with a view to creating more energy substitutes instead of the petroleum. Only by the above-mentioned pragmatic measures can we enjoy better health and live a more comfortable life.

【参考翻译

正如上图生动描述的一样,这幅图片既让你吃惊又发人深省。其中最吸引人眼球的是一只宠物狗带着口罩来预防雾霾。事实上,近年来,由汽车尾气和工业污染引起的严重的空气污染已经对人们的生存和发展造成了灾难性的影响。

毋庸置疑的是,雾霾天气的问题应该引起政府部门的极大重视,其造成的后果也应该引起我们深思。造成这种空气污染现象的原因有这么几条。一方面,严重污染的工业废气被直接排放到大气中,湖中及河中,街道上不断增加的汽车也排放出汽车废气。另一方面,到处可见的塑料袋,煤炭燃烧产生的污染,全国性的建筑垃圾也一直在污染我们的空气。

事实上,雾霾不仅对我们的肺和鼻子有伤害,也是造成可怕的交通事故的原因之一。另外,我们所不愿意见到是没有什么比环境恶化更能造成对我们人类的生存的威胁了。根据晨报的最新一项调查,超过百分之四十的中国城市每年都遭受着雾霾的污染。

我们必须采取有效的措施来阻止环境的污染。首先,当地政府应该采取措施,例如,关闭一些产生工业废气比较多的工厂,多种树,多发展高科技的产品来使空气的质量更高,天气更宜人。另外,政府还应该严惩那些故意破坏环境的人。最后,限制私家车的数量也是当务之急,我们应该采用最先进的科技创造更多的替代石油的能源。只有做到上述几点,我们才能更健康,生活更舒适。

全文共 2022 字

In the last winter vacation, a primary school in addition to travel, I almost spend all day swim in the sea of books. Even so, but I still feel very full and meaningful.

Winter vacation, I saw all kinds of books. From the fairy tale to the popular science books, from the novel to the classics -- -- -- -- -- -. Which brings me the deepest impression is to introduce the authors childhood life of "childhood", about a black American slaves in the inhumanity of slavery die hard life under the oppression of the story of "uncle Toms cabin", it is with the old man and the shark fight is weak in the education we cannot do anything to the old man and the sea, etc., and a spill, chapter exciting, let a person fondle admiringly, benefited a lot. Accompanying them, of course not lonely.

Reading tired, I will also go out to play. Time does not allow me to visit scenic spots and historical sites of the motherland, but be able to play the wild mountains, mountain stream path, let me increase knowledge, widen horizons, to learn from the reading of the day, the leisure, relax, wouldnt that make sense?

Easy, of course not forget to learn. In addition to complete the teacher assigned homework, I will write a composition, practice calligraphy, calculate aoshu, fully exercise their brainpower. Dont say you doing your homework is a headache thing, in fact, as long as can invest in it, you will find out that finish the homework is not trouble, and even some fun!

This is what I spend the winter vacation, a full, interesting and meaningful happy holiday!

在这一个小学阶段最后的寒假里,除了出门旅行之外,我几乎是整日泡在书的海洋里畅游。虽然如此,但我依然觉得非常充实且有意义。

寒假里,我看了各种各样的书籍。从童话到科普图书,从小说到名著------。其中带给我最深印象的是介绍作者童年时代生活的《童年》、讲述一位美国黑人奴隶在惨无人道的奴隶制的压迫下艰难地生活最终死去的故事的《汤姆叔叔的小屋》、有借助老人与鲨鱼英勇搏斗来教育我们做任何事不能软弱的《老人与海》等等,回回精彩溢呈,章章扣人心弦,让人爱不释手,受益非浅。有它们相伴,当然不会寂寞。

读书读累了,我还会出门游玩。时间不容许我去祖国的名胜古迹游玩,但能够去野外的青山绿水、山涧小道玩玩,让我增长知识,开阔眼界,从整日的看书学习中跳出来,休闲、轻松一下,这不也很有意义吗?

轻松之余,当然不能忘了学习。除了完成老师布置的作业外,我还会写写作文,练练书法,算算奥数,全面锻炼自己的脑力。你可别说做作业是件头疼的事,其实,只要能投入在其中,你会发现——原来完成作业并不麻烦,甚至还有些有趣呢!

这就是我所度过的寒假,一个充实、有趣、具有意义的愉快假期!

篇19:高二年级英语作文带翻译人与自然

全文共 2813 字

Human, science and nature, the three phase was quoted rates are inseparable. The wonders of nature, a little thing, through the baptism of the time, and meticulous observation, often can give a person with enlightenment.

Vast forests, sunshine give plants grace, to be able to get the nutrients and thrive. Such as the morning sun open the eyes of animals, everything is ready. Squirrels, squirrel, embarks from the house, looking for full sweet red pine nuts, all kinds of plant seeds and slowly by seeding them to other places. While the weasel feed on smaller herbivores, sable and then ate the weasel... As if people eat the big fish, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp eat plankton, interlocking between RACES, interdependence restricts each other.

Foreign scientists have done an experiment: introduce the sheep in a rare nature reserve, where the bamiyan, natural environment is superior, and there is special personnel to the group of kids to their natural enemies, Wolf, moved to another place. So the sheep started in the breeding. Until grass and low shrubs are eaten, the number of sheep instead of less. Because they live too comfortable, there is no enemy attack, the number that is too carefree life let their constitution also fell. Then the scientists tried to introduce wolves again. The result is in the relationship between predator and prey, good robust species to survive, wolves eat sick defect part. Natural selection and evolution, has been the nature and even the survival of human society the same criteria.

Cut down some trees, is to destroy a part of birds and insects; Killing of bees, small fish, can also cause cannot spread pollen, fish cannot reproduce problem... Sabotaged a part of the food chain, will bring ill-defined disaster. Because in front of the natural fair, each species, each independent individual organisms is so beautiful and full of value.

Because of the diversity of species and colorful nature. Want to live in harmony with her and get the kind of treatment, will be good to nature, to understand the nature, and have good at discovering and innovative mind.

人类、科学、自然,这三者相生相息密不可分。大自然的奇妙之处在于:一件小小的事物,经过时间的洗礼以及细致入微的观察,往往能给人以启示。

广袤的森林中,阳光雨露给予植物恩泽,使其能够得到养料然后茁壮成长。等清晨的阳光掀开动物们的眼睛,一切也准备好了。松鼠、灰鼠从居所里出发,寻找饱满香甜的红松子,各种植物的种子于是慢慢的被他们带到其他的地方落地生根。而此时黄鼠狼以体型较小的草食动物为食,紫貂继而吃掉了黄鼠狼……就好像人吃大鱼,大鱼吃小鱼,小鱼吃虾米,虾米又吃浮游生物一样,各种族之间环环相扣,相互依存相互制约着。

外国的科学家曾做过一个实验:将一种稀有的羊引进自然保护区,那里水草丰美,自然环境优越,并且还有专门的人员为这群天之骄子将她们的天敌——狼,迁往另外的地方。于是羊群开始在此生息繁衍。直到草和低矮的灌木被吃光了,羊群的数量反而越来越少。原来是因为它们生活的太过安逸,没有天敌进犯,数量过于膨胀,太过悠闲的生活让它们的体质也下降了。后来科学家们尝试着再一次引进狼群。结果是在捕食者与猎物的关系中,健壮优良的品种得以存活,狼群则吃掉病弱残疾的部分。物竞天择,优胜劣汰,一直都是自然界乃至人类社会不变的生存准则。

砍掉了某种树林,就等于灭绝了一部分鸟类、昆虫;捕杀蜜蜂、幼小鱼类,也会造成花粉无法传播,鱼群无法繁衍的问题……大肆破坏生物链中的某一环,都会带来难以言说的灾难。因为在公平的自然面前,每个物种,每个独立的生物个体都是如此的美丽而富有价值。

大自然因为物种的多样性而五彩缤纷。想要与她和谐相处并得到其慈祥的对待,就要善待自然,了解自然,并拥有一刻善于发现与创新的心。

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。
