寫作中的翻譯法 （周固）
這些句子摘自大學(xué)英語(yǔ)課本，都是很好的寫作操練材料，對(duì)考生的作文詞句規(guī)范化很有幫助。反復(fù)分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯詞語(yǔ)，然后通過(guò)漢譯英的反復(fù)的回譯操練，直至以后英語(yǔ)寫作中想到相關(guān)漢語(yǔ)就能出現(xiàn)對(duì)應(yīng)英語(yǔ)表達(dá)的程度。
1． Do you often go online chatting with strangers? Everyday, millions of people, especially the young, are online chatting with friends or with strangers. 你經(jīng)常上網(wǎng)閑聊嗎？每天有數(shù)百萬(wàn)人，尤其年輕人，在網(wǎng)上與網(wǎng)友或陌生人聊天。
2． The successful launch and return of the manned spacecraft Shenzhou IV is deemed both a symbol of national prestige and a sign of advanced science and technology, which will definitely contribute to the economic growth of our country. 載人航天飛機(jī)神州五號(hào)的成功發(fā)射及返回既是國(guó)家榮譽(yù)的一個(gè)象征，也是先進(jìn)的科技能力的標(biāo)志，這對(duì)我國(guó)的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展無(wú)疑會(huì)產(chǎn)生促進(jìn)作用。
3． We all know that China is still a developing country and its education still lags behind that of developed countries. Many young Chinese are denied chances of receiving higher education because of insufficient educational facilities. 我們都知道，中國(guó)還是一個(gè)發(fā)展中的國(guó)家，其教育水平仍然落后于發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家。不少中國(guó)年青人由于教育設(shè)施的匱乏而得不到接受高等教育的機(jī)會(huì)。
4． They say that pride comes before a fall. In the case of both Napoleon and Hitler, they won many victories, which led them to believe that anything was possible and that nothing could stand in their way. But Russia’s icy defender proved them wrong. 人道是驕兵必?cái)�。就拿拿破侖和希特勒（Napoleon and Hitler）來(lái)說(shuō)吧，他們所想披靡，便以為自己戰(zhàn)無(wú)不勝，不可阻擋。但俄羅斯的冰雪戰(zhàn)士證明他們錯(cuò)了。
5． Well begun is half done, as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to make sufficient preparations while seeking employment. From my standpoint, whether or not one has prepared adequately clearly makes a difference in (affects) his chance of success. I have a friend who is earning around 100 thousand dollars a year in a computer software company. He told me that, from his own experience, those who can decide whether an applicant could be employed prefer people who are well prepared. 常言道，好的開端是成功的一半。在求職時(shí)，求職者事先做好充分的準(zhǔn)備是非常重要的。我認(rèn)為，事先做不做準(zhǔn)備常常會(huì)影響求職者的成功機(jī)會(huì)。我有一個(gè)朋友在一家計(jì)算機(jī)軟件公司供職，年薪十萬(wàn)美元左右。他根據(jù)自己的經(jīng)歷告訴我說(shuō)，那些對(duì)未來(lái)雇員具有錄用決定權(quán)的人喜歡有充分準(zhǔn)備的人。
6． I consider it worthwhile trying to summarize our experience in learning English. Here I would like to make three relevant points. First, extensive reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input. Next, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we have learnt into practice. By doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to accomplish the task of perfecting our English. 我認(rèn)為總結(jié)一下學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)是值得一試的。這里，我想談?wù)勅齻�(gè)相關(guān)的問(wèn)題。首先，大量閱讀應(yīng)被視作學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程中的重點(diǎn)，因?yàn)槲覀兪峭ㄟ^(guò)閱讀獲取最大量語(yǔ)言輸入的。其次，盡可能多背熟一些好文章也十分重要。大腦中儲(chǔ)存了大量很好的文章，我們?cè)谟糜⒄Z(yǔ)表達(dá)自己思想的時(shí)候，就會(huì)覺得容易多了。最后，我們應(yīng)把所學(xué)到的東西用到實(shí)踐中去，這是至關(guān)重要的。通過(guò)多讀、多寫、多聽、多說(shuō)，我們就能完成提高英語(yǔ)水平的任務(wù)。
7． Is America going to decline like other great powers (nations) in history ? The author thinks not, arguing that the type of society created in America is quite unlike any that has gone before it. Read what he has to say and see whether you agree. 美國(guó)是否會(huì)如同歷史上其他強(qiáng)國(guó)一樣走向衰亡？作者持否定態(tài)度，認(rèn)為美國(guó)創(chuàng)建的社會(huì)模式不同于任何已出現(xiàn)的社會(huì)模式。讀一讀他的觀點(diǎn)，看看你是否同意。
8． More than a decade ago, the mobile phone was a luxury for only a few, but now it is very common. The rapid spread of the mobile phone is perhaps one of the great miracles of our time. 十幾年前，手機(jī)只是少數(shù)人才能使用的奢侈品，但現(xiàn)在手機(jī)已很普遍。手機(jī)的快速普及也許是我們時(shí)代的偉大奇跡之一。
9． Some people seem easy to understand：their character appears obvious on first meeting. Appearances, however, can be deceptive. For thirty years now I have been studying my fellowmen. I don’t know very much about them. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. I think they must have small insight or great vanity. For my own part I find that the longer I know people, the more they puzzle me. 有些人似乎容易了解：他們的個(gè)性在初次交往時(shí)就表露無(wú)遺。然而，外表可能具有欺騙性。三十年來(lái)，我一直在研究我的人類同胞，但至今了解不多。每當(dāng)有人跟我說(shuō)他對(duì)一個(gè)人的首次印象向來(lái)不錯(cuò)的時(shí)候，我就聳聳肩。我想這種人不是無(wú)知，就是自大。就我而言，我覺得，認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)人的時(shí)間越長(zhǎng)，就越覺得困惑。(be ignorant or self-righteous；self-centered; self-confident; self-discipline; self-educated; self-employed; self-esteem; selfish)
10． As the pace of life in today’s world grows ever faster, we seem forever on the go. With so much to do and so little time to do it in, how are we to cope? Dr. Smith sets about untangling the problem and comes up with an answer. 隨著當(dāng)今世界生活節(jié)奏日益加快，我們似乎一直在不停奔忙。事情那么多，時(shí)間卻那么少，我們?cè)撛趺崔k？史密斯博士著手解決這一問(wèn)題，并提出了解決方法。
