当前最重要的任务是发展国民经济，提高人民生活水平。为了实现这个目标，我们必须改革旧的经济体制，以便进一步解放生产力。我们应当向世界敞开大门，以便学习其他国家先进的科学和技术。只要我们坚持改革开放政策，就一定能把我国建设成为强大的社会主义强国。Currently, the most important task is to develop domestic economy and improve people’s living standard. To achieve the goal, we must alter the old economic system, so as to further production. Besides, we should also open up to the world, to learn science and technology from other countries.

教育在社会经济发展和提高人类文化素质方面起着重要的作用。科学和技术的进步将有力地推动教育的发展。同时教育的发展又将促进科学技术的进步。因此，将发展教育放在一个重要的位置上是非常必要的。

Education plays an important role in developing social economy and improving human’s cultural qualities. The progress of science and technology will give a big push to the development of education. While educational development will advance of science and technology in turn. As a result, it is very necessary to put educational development in a significant position.

不吸烟者的权利问题在许多国家里开始讨论。迄今为止，多数国家很少或还没有采取措施。众所周知，从长远的观点看，如果能完全禁止吸烟，那么人们的境况将得到很大的改善。但显然，我们对此尚无准备。

The issue of non-smokers’ right began to be argued so far. However, most countries have taken little or even no actions on it. It is well known that people’s living conditions will be g reatly improved in the long run if smoking is completely banned. Obviously, we haven’t got ready for that.

很多教师认为，学习主要依赖于学生本人。教师起指导作用，布置书单，让学生阅读，希望学生能够熟悉阅读得到的信息。理想的学生被认为是为了学习而学习的学生，更是为了学习而使用知识的学生，而并非仅仅想取得高分的学生。

Many teachers deem that learning is mainly dependent on students theirselves. Teachers play the instructive role, such as making the book lists for students to read and hoping students to make acquaint with information from reading. The realistic students are perceived as those who learn for the sake of learning, and even study for using the knowledge, rather than study merely for high grades.

每个国家都有自己独特的进餐习俗。美国人认为，要做一个受欢迎的客人，首先就是要准时。如果某人应邀六点半赴宴，女主人就指望他六点半到或者最多晚到几分钟。客人如果不能按时到达，应该打电话通知男主人或女主人，讲明原因，并说明什么时间能赶到。

Each country has its own unique eating customs. Americans think that a welcomed guest should first be punctual. If someone is invited to dinner at 6:30, a hostess will expect him to arrive punctually or at most a few minutes late. And if the guest cannot arrive on time, he should call the host or the hostess, explaining why he cannot make it on time and when he can get there.

中国政府已作出了重大的努力，动员人民因地制宜地开展改善生态环境的工作。我们还要做出更大的努力来提高人们的环境意识。需要新闻媒体广泛宣传我国的环境政策，普及环境知识，使每一个人投入保护生态环境的行动中去。

China’s government has made great efforts to call on people t o improve the ecological environment in the light of local conditions. We have to redouble our efforts to develop people’s awareness. Meanwhile, mass media are needed to publicize environment policies, and spread knowledge about the environment, to call on the public to participate in the environmental protection.

电视在我们日常生活中的作用主要反映在娱乐和信息两个方面。娱乐包括电影、音乐、体育比赛等。信息包括新闻、教育节目、讲座等。在娱乐方面，电视使我们的生活丰富多彩；在信息方面，我们可以了解到所发生的一切。

The role of TV in our daily life is mainly reflected in two aspects, namely entertainment and information. The entertainment includes movie, music sports and so on, and information contains news, education programs, TV lectures and so forth. The entertainment makes our life more colorful, while information enables us to keep in touch with what is happening around us. (9)

在我们这个时代，任何人想要在社会上起到所希望起的作用，必须接受必要的教育。随着科学的进步，在中小学开设了越来越多的课程。与过去的教育相比，现代教育更重视实用性。In our times, anyone who wants to play an important role in a society as he wishes must receive basic education. With the development of science, more and more courses are offered in primary and middle schools. Compared with the traditional educaiton, modern education puts more emphasis on practicality.

个人主义和集体主义渗透进东西文化的方方面面，影响着美国和中国的经济、政治、伦理道德和价值观，在交往方式上尤为如此。这一点是很重要的，因为调查研究已经证实，国际商务和国际关系上的失败，首要的原因不是经济上的也不是商务上的，而是跨文化交流方面的。Individualism and collecitvism have permeated into every aspect of western and eastern cultures, influencing American and Chinese economy, politics, morals, ethics and values, and especially communication patterns. This is important for the surveys have shown that the primary cause of failure in international business and relations is not economy, or even business but cross-cultural communications.

在过去的十几年里，可能没有任何其他话题比领导艺术更受到管理研究者的关注。在管理人

员的培训和开发方面，领导艺术也是热门的话题之一。这表明专业管理人员对探索卓有成效的领导艺术的奥秘感兴趣。

Over the past decades, no topic has drawn attention from the management researchers than the art of leadership. It is also one of the hottest topics in the management training and development, which shows that the professional managements are interested in discovering the secrets to effective leadership.

亚裔美国人对美国做出了杰出的贡献。这些贡献包括诸如自然科学、医学、法律、文艺、艺术等各个领域。由于亚裔移民的祖籍国家具有丰富多样的传统，他们大大促进了美国文化的发展，提高了全美国人民的生活水平。

The Asian-Americans have made outstanding contributions to the US. These contributions cover various kinds of fields such as natural science, medicine, law, literature and art. As the native countries of Asian immigrants have rich and colorful tradition, they have greatly promoted the American culture and improved the living standard of the whole American people.

环境科学家们说，如果要使地球继续供养人类生存，保护野生生物是极为重要的。这些专家说我们必须明白在我们的这个环境供养系统中，我们自己与野生动植物之间的重要联系。他们指出，没有人有把握地知道这些动植物种的哪一种将来可能对我们有用。

Environment scientists stated that it’s extremely significant to protect the wild life, if we want the planet to continue to support humans. These experts kept saying that we must understand the relationship between wild animals and us in our environmental supporting system. Meanwhile, they pointed out that nobody knows for sure which of animals or plants would be helpful to us in the future.

别人抽烟，你吸入，确实会对你的肺有危害。据美国肺协估计，每年约有3000名死于肺癌的人是被动吸烟者。有一项调查发现，不吸烟的妇女，如果在吸烟的家庭环境中生活40年或更长的时间，那么就有加倍患肺癌的危险。

It dose do harm to lungs if other people smoke and you breath it in. According to the estimate of American Lung Association, about 3000 people per year who die from lung cancer are passive smokers. The investigation indicated that non-smoking women who live in the smoking family environment 40 years or even longer would double the risk of developing lung cancer.

文化是不同国家的人们互相理解的最佳媒体。通过举办文化节，许多中国城市在世界上的知名度提高了。已经证明，对促进中国人民和世界其他地方人民之间的交流来说，这是最好的途径之一。这种交流没有仅限于文化方面，还扩大到经济和其他领域。

Culture is the best medium for people of different countries to communicate with each other. Many cities in China have become better know to the world through holding cultural festivals. It has been proved that this is one of the best ways to improve communication between the people of China and other parts of the world. Besides, exchange has not been confined to culture, but extended to the economic and other important fields.

(16)

除了干旱时期，人们从不把水看成是宝贵的自然资源。因为我们想当然地以为水和空气一样的不值钱。然而由于人口增加以及可怕的浪费，在当今世界的许多地方，供水已成为一大挑战，而且是一个严重的社会问题。如果我们的政府不采取积极有效的措施来解决这个问题，

在不久的将来，我们就会面临缺水的灾难。

Water has never been conceived of precious natural resources except in times of drought, for we take it for granted that water, like air, is cheap and can be found everywhere. However, partly because of the increased population and partly because of terrible waste, water supply has become a big challenge in many places of the world, and shortage of water has become a serious social problem. If our government doesn’t take active and effective measures to solve the problem, we will face the shortage of water in the near future.

环境与发展，是当今国际社会普遍关注的问题。人类经过漫长的奋斗历程，特别是从产业革命以来，在改造自然和发展经济方面建树了辉煌的业绩。与此同时，由于工业化过程中的处置失当，尤其是不合理地开发利用自然资源，造成了全球性的环境污染和生态破坏，对人类的生存和发展构成了现实威胁。保护生态环境，实现持续发展，已成为全世界紧迫而艰巨的任务。

Environment and development are two major concerns of the international community nowadays. Through its tedious efforts of many years, especially those made since Industrial Revolution, mankind has made brilliant achievements in transforming nature and developing economy. Yet the neglect of environment in its industrialization, particularly irrational exploitation and utilization of natural resources has led to global environmental pollution and ecological degradation, which threatens survival and development of mankind. It is therefore an urgent and formidable task for all countries around the world to protect ecosystem and maintain

a sustainable development.

(18)

The fear that technology would eliminate jobs is not peculiar to our country. It goes back at least to the first part of the last century. It was then that groups of English workers tried to prevent the industrialization of Britain by wrecking factories and machinery. They thought the machines were going to take away their jobs. In fact, the machines increased the number of jobs well beyond anyone’s wildest dream.

人们对技术将会消除工作的恐惧在本世纪已不足为奇。因为(这种现象)至少可以追溯到上世纪的前叶。在那个时期，英国的工人阶级通过破坏工厂，砸坏机器，为了阻止本国的工业化进程。因为他们认为工业化会造成他们失业。事实上(恰恰相反，然而)工业化增加了就业机会远远超过人们的想象。

(19)

相对而言，要求没有受过教育的人节约资源比较困难。他们往往认为资源只是唾手可得的原料罢了，用得再多也不过分。他们很少注意到大自然的毁灭所造成的致命后果。跟没有受过教育的人相对照的是，大多数受过教育的人把他们的幸福跟大自然联系在一起，并且为了保护自我而努力保护大自然。尽管在当前环境问题的讨论中，人们可能很难区分各种建议孰优孰劣，但是一位当代评论家主张以人的名义保护大自然应该成为我们的指导原则。

It’s relatively more difficult to ask poorly-educated people to conserve resources. For they always take it for granted that resources are nothing more than handy materials, which they can never overuse to the point of excess. Therefore, they’re seldom aware of the fatal consequences of the ruin of nature. In contrast, more-educated people bind their own well-being to that of nature, and try to preserve nature on the grounds of self-preservation. Though it may not be easy to distinguish reasonable proposal from a bad one in our current debate on environment issues, one contemporary commentator has argued that protecting the environment in the name of man

should be our guiding principles.

(20)

Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that seriously ill do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide. Dying patients can not make decisions about the end of life: about whether or not they should enter a hospital, or have surgery; about where and with whom they should spend their remaining time; about how they should take leave of their family or friends.

研究表明，多数医生深信重症病人并不想知道他们的真实病情，同时也明确地认为如果让病人知道病情会导致病人康复的希望破灭，反而导致他们恢复更慢或者病情恶化更快，甚至可能导致他们自杀。危重病人不能够对他的余生作出合理安排，如他们是否应该继续留院，是否应该立刻进行手术，或者他们应该在哪里以及和谁共度剩下来的时光，甚至他们应该如何与自己的家人、朋友道别。

(21)

心理学家们通过众多的事实证实这一说法：要想让自己很快从低落的情绪中解脱出来，你得让自己哭。你不必为哭而感到羞愧。忧虑和悲伤能随时同眼泪一起流出身体。看一看Donna 的例子吧。她的儿子在一次车祸中不幸丧生。这次打击之大使她欲哭无泪。她说：“直到两个星期后的一天，我才开始放声痛哭。然后，我便觉得好像一块大石头从我的肩上抬走了。是眼泪将我带回了现实之中。”

Psychologists have confirmed the statement through many facts that if you want to release from the low mood, you should allow yourself to cry out. You don't have to be shameful for you crying. For sadness and anxiety can flow out of body along with tears. Take Mary for example. Her son died unfortunately in a car accident and this big attack/blow made her unable to cry. She said, “It was not until 2 weeks later, I began to cry, and then I felt as if a big stone had been lifted away from my shoulders. It was the tears that brought me back to reality.”

As a person he was not unintelligent. He had read widely in history and thought he understood its lessons. But as dictator he had made the fatal mistake of seeking to make a martial, imperial Great Power of a country which lacked the industrial resources to become one and whose people, unlike the Germans, were too civilized, too sophisticated, too down to earth to be attracted by such false ambitions.

作为普通人，他非常具有智慧。他广泛涉猎历史，自认为明白历史教训。但作为一个独裁者，他却已经犯下致命的错误。……

(23)

也许你羡慕我，因为我可以借助计算机在家里工作。我也这么想，互联网使我的工作方便多了。我可以通过电子邮件撰写、编辑并交出我的文章，在网上与我的同事聊天，与老板讨论工作。我用鼠标一击，马上就能拿到我要的一切资料，获得最新的消息。可是，另一方面，用网络通信有时也令人沮丧。系统有可能瘫痪，更糟的是，因为没有面对面交谈的情感提示，键出的词有时候似乎很难理解。

Perhaps you envy me for being able to work at home via the computer. I agree that the internet has made my job much easier. For instance, I can write, edit and submit articles via email, chat with my colleagues online and discuss work with my boss. With a click of the mouse, I can get all the data I need and keep up with the latest news. But then, communication through the net can

sometimes be frustrating. For the system may be paralyzed, worse still, without emotional expressions of face-to-face communication, the typed words sometimes seem difficult to follow.

The circumstances of his death set Lincoln apart from other American leaders. Had Lincoln lived, it might well be that his postwar policies would have brought criticisms upon him that would have tarnished his popularity. Instead, an assassin’s bullet erased in the mind of Americans any faults he had and emphasized his virtues.

林肯之死使他区别于其他的美国领导人。假使林肯还活着，他的战后政策极有可能受到人们的指责，而这些指责会有损他的声望。相反，一枚暗杀者的子弹抹去了他在美国人心中的任何缺陷，而突出了他的美德。

我认为总结一下学习英语的经验是值得一试的。这里，我想谈谈三个相关的问题。

首先，大量阅读应视作学习过程中的重点，因为我们是通过阅读获取大量语言输入的。其次，尽可能多背熟一些好文章也十分重要。一方面，死记硬背确实无甚裨益，但另一方面，在真正理解基础上的熟记肯定对我们有好处。大脑中储存了大量很好的文章，我们在用英语表达自己理想的时候，就会觉得容易多了。最后，我们应把所学到的东西用到实践中去，这是至关重要的。通过多读、多写、多听、多说，我们就能完成提高英语水平的任务。

I consider it worthwhile trying to summarize our experience in learning English. Here, I’d like to make three points involved.

First, extensive reading should be taken as the key/priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most of language input. Next, it is also important to learn by heart as many excellent articles as possible. On one hand, learning by note is indeed of little help, but on the other hand, learning by heart with a good understanding/comprehension will be of benefit to us. With an enormous store of excellent articles in our brain, we will find it much easier when we express our ideas. Finally, it is critical/crucial we should put what we have learned into practice. By more reading, writing, listening and saying, we’ll be able to accomplish our task of improving our English.

He had never been to school or university but had studied privately and by the time he was twenty was a skillful chemist and excellent linguist, speaking Swedish, Russian, German, French and English. Like his father, Alfred Nobel was imaginative and inventive, but he had better luck in business and showed more financial sense. He was quick to see industrial openings for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward-looking industrialist.

英语专业八级翻译练习题

英语专业八级翻译练习题 1．英译汉 1) Possession for its own sake or in competition with the rest of the neighborhood would have been Thoreau's idea of the low levels. The active discipline of heightening one's perception of what is enduring in nature would have been his idea of the high. What he saved from the low was time and effort he could spend on the high. Thoreau certainly disapproved of starvation, but he would put into feeding himself only as much effort as would keep him functioning for more important efforts. Effort is the gist of it. There is no happiness except as we take on life-engaging difficulties. Short of the impossible, as Yeats put it, the satisfaction we get from a lifetime depends on how high we choose our difficulties. Robert Frost was thinking in something like the same terms when he spoke of "The pleasure of taking pains". The mortal flaw in the advertised version of happiness is in the fact that it purports to be effortless. We demand difficulty even in our games. We demand it because without difficulty there can be no game. A game is a way of making something hard for the fun of it. The rules of the game are an arbitrary imposition of difficulty. When someone ruins the fun, he always does so by refusing to play by the rules. It is easier to win at chess if you are free, at your pleasure, to change the wholly arbitrary rules, but the fun is in winning within the rules. No difficulty, no fun. 梭罗所理解的"低层次"，即为了拥有而去拥有，或与所有的邻居明争暗斗而致拥有。他心目中的"高层次"，则是这样一种积极的人生戒律，即要使自己对自然界永恒之物的感悟臻于完美。对于他从低层次上节省下来的时间和精力，他可将其致力于对高层次的追求。勿庸置疑，梭罗不赞成忍饥挨饿，但他在膳食方面所投入的精力仅果腹而已，只要可确保他能去从事更为重要的事务，他便别无所求。 殚精竭虑，全力以赴，便是其精髓所在。除非我们愿意直面那些需要我们全身心投入的艰难困苦，否则便不会有幸福可言。正如叶芝所言，除却某些不可能的情形，我们于人生中所获取的满足皆取决于我们在多高的境界中选择我们所愿意面对的艰难困苦。当罗伯特弗罗斯特言及"以苦为乐"时，他内心所思，大体如此。商业广告中所宣扬的那种幸福观，其致命的缺陷就在于这样一个事实，即它宣称，一切幸福皆唾手可得，不费吹灰之力。 即便于游戏之中，我们也需要有艰难困苦。我们之所以需要它，因为设若没有困难，便断无游戏可言。游戏即是这样一种方式，为了享受其中的情趣而人为地使事情变得不那么轻而易举。游戏中的种种规则，便是将困难武断地强加于人。当有人将情趣摧毁殆尽时，他总是因为拒不按游戏规则行事而使然。这犹如下棋；如果你随心所欲、心血来潮地去更改那些全然武断的游戏规则，这样去赢棋当然会更加容易。但下棋的情趣则在于，应在规则的限定范围内赢取胜利。一言以蔽之，没有艰难，断无情趣。 2)

新视野大学第三版book1英语课后翻译答案 Unit1 苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。他是一个谜一般的人物，人们主要通过后来的一些古典作家的叙述，尤其是他最著名的学生柏拉图的作品去了解他。苏格拉底以他对伦理学的贡献而闻名。他的教学法亦称为苏格拉底法，即通过提问和回答来激发批判性思维以及阐述观点。该方法在各种讨论中仍被普遍使用。他还在认识论和逻辑领域作出了重大而深远的贡献。他的思想和方法所带来的影响一直是后来的西方哲学的坚实基础。苏格拉底是古代哲学史上最丰富多彩的人物。他在他那个时代已威名远扬。虽然他未曾建立什么哲学体系，未曾设立什么学派，也未曾创立什么宗派，但他的名字很快就变得家喻户晓了。 Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient “sage”. His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analectshas had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years’traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius’thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society. In the 21st century, Confucian thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community. Unit2 圣诞节是一个被广泛庆祝的文化节日，全世界有许许多多的人在12月25日庆祝这一节日。它是为了纪念耶稣基督的诞辰。该节日最早可追溯到公元336年。渐渐地，这一节日演变为一个既是宗教又是非宗教的节日，越来越多的非基督徒也庆祝圣诞节。如今，圣诞节在全球被作为一个重大的节日和公共假日来庆祝。不同国家的圣诞节风俗也各不相同。现代流行的圣诞接风俗包括交换圣诞贺卡和圣诞礼物、唱圣诞歌曲、参加教堂活动、摆放各种圣诞装饰品和圣诞树、举行家庭聚会以及准备一顿特别的大餐。对小孩子们来说，这个节日充满了幻想和惊喜。据传说，圣诞老人会在圣诞夜从烟囱进入每户人家，给乖巧听话的孩子带来礼物。由于圣诞节送礼物以及许多其他方面推动了基督徒和非基督徒的经济活动，圣诞节也因此成为商家的一个重大活动和主要销售季。 According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August 15 of every year is a traditional Chinese festival-the Mid-Autumn Festival. This day is the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn. One of the important Mid-Autumn Festival activities is to enjoy the moon. On that night, people gather together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, looking up at the bright moon and eating moon cakes. The festival is also a time for family reunion. People living far away from home will express their feelings of missing their hometowns and families at this festival, all expressing people’s love and hope for a happy life. Since 2008, the Mid-Autumn Festival has become an official national holiday in China.

翻译是把一种语言里已经表达出来的事物用另一种语言准确流畅地进行重新表达的过程。与其他题材的文章相比,科技专业文章在内容、表达形式和风格上有很大的差别,具有科技性强、专业性强、逻辑严密、表达要求简练的特点,在翻译上力求准确全面、严谨明确和通顺简练。 1科技英语翻译遵循的基本原则 从科技文章的特点来看,大多具有以下几个特征:述说事理、逻辑性强、结构严密、术语繁多,语言严谨、数据精确。这就要求译文必须概念清楚、条理分明、逻辑正确、数据无误,尤其对定义、定律、公式、图表、结论等更应特别注意。科技英语作为特殊英语的一个分支,在词汇构成、遣词造句等方面都有其自身的特点,其语法结构不十分严密、语言习惯和汉语也有不少差别、词汇量大、词语繁多,因此科技英语翻译起来比较困难。另外,科技文章比较重视叙事逻辑上的连贯及表达上的明晰与畅达; 避免行文晦涩,避免表露个人感情,避免论证上的主观随意性。因此,科技英语翻译力求少用或不用描述性形容词以及具有抒情作用的副词、感叹词及疑问词,而是大量使用科技词汇、专业技术用语,译者应尊重客观事实,不能随意改动数据、回避不易翻译的文字,更不能加进自己的主观想象,进行自由翻译。 我国著名翻译家严复提出的“信、达、雅”三准则一直为不少翻译工作者所接受。 “信”指的是译文要忠实于原文,“达”是指译文的通顺达意,“雅”指的是译文的用词修辞。三准则体现了译文和原文信息等值这一基本要领。 “信、达、雅”的翻译准则对各种英语文体的翻译实践都具有指导意义,是衡量一篇译文好坏的标准,也同样适用于科技文献的翻译。由于科技文章特有的文体特征,与其他类文章相比,其“达”和“雅”的内涵不同,它要求在准确传达信息的基础上,使译文更加简洁明快,流畅通顺。2科技英语翻译的基本方法

英语专业八级翻译练习题（一） The Rewards of Living a Solitary Life The other day an acquaintance of mine, a gregarious and charming man, told me he had found himself unexpectedly alone in New York for an hour or two between appointments. He went to the Whitney and spent the "empty" time looking at things in solitary bliss. For him it proved to be a shock nearly as great as falling in love to discover that he could enjoy himself so much alone. 参考译文： 独自生活的报偿 前些日子，我的一个熟人，一位热爱交际并很受欢迎的男士告诉我，他在纽约的两个约会之间偶然有一两个小时的空闲，他便去了惠特尼博物馆，四处浏览着展品，无比幸福的度过了那些时光。发现自已独自一人，也能如此的幸福，他感觉像坠入爱河那般震惊。 英语专业八级翻译练习题（二） What had he been afraid of, I asked myself? That, suddenly alone, he would discover that he bored himself, or that there was, quite simply, no self there to meet? But having taken the plunge, he is now on the brink of adventure; he is about to be launched into his own inner space to the astronaut. His every perception will come to him with a new freshness and, for a time, seem startlingly original. 参考译文： “他一直在害怕什么呢？”，我问自已。怕突然一个人呆着会发现自已厌烦自己，或者怕会失去自我？但是有了这次偿试，他便要开始探险了。他就要发射到自已心的宇宙之中。他的所见所感对他来说将会是全新的，一度会新颖的让人惊奇。 英语专业八级翻译练习题（三） For anyone who can see things for himself with a naked eye becomes, for a moment or two, something of a genius. With another human being present vision becomes double vision, inevitably. We are busy wondering, what does my companion see or think of this, and what do I think of it? The original impact gets lost, or diffused 参考译文： 因此每个能用肉眼观看事物的人，一时之间便成为天才。身边有别人存在，一个看法便不可避免地变成了双重看法。我们急于知道周边人的看法，以及我对它是怎么看的？” 最初的印像消失了，或者变得模糊不清。 英语专业八级翻译练习题（四）

专业英语翻译训练三则

（一） The manners of the Americans of the United States are, then, the real cause which renders that people the only one of the American nations that is able to support a democratic government; and it is the influence of manners which produces the different degrees of order and of prosperity that may be distinguished in the several Anglo-American democracies. Thus the effect which the geographical position of a country may have upon the duration of democratic institutions is exaggerated in Europe. Too much importance is attributed to legislation, too little to manners. These three great causes serve, no doubt, to regulate and direct the American democracy; but if they were to be classed in their proper order, I should say that the physical circumstances are less efficient than the laws, and the laws very subordinate to the manners of the people. I am convinced that the most advantageous situation and the best possible laws cannot maintain a constitution in spite of the manners of a country; whilst the latter may turn the most unfavorable positions and the worst laws to some advantage. The importance of manners is a common truth to which study and experience incessantly direct our attention. It may be regarded as a central point in the range of human observation, and the common termination of all inquiry. So seriously do I insist upon this head, that if I have hitherto failed in making the reader feel the important influence which I attribute to the practical experience, the habits, the opinions, in short, to the manners of the Americans, upon the maintenance of their institutions, I have failed in the principal object of my work. （二） For my part, I am continually astonished that a mark so simple is not recognized, or that men are of so bad faith as not to admit it. What is the end of political association? The preservation and prosperity of its members. And what is the surest mark of their preservation and prosperity? Their numbers and population. Seek then nowhere else this mark that is in dispute. The rest being equal, the government under which, without external aids, without naturalization or colonies, the citizens increase and multiply most, is beyond question the best. The government under which a people wanes and diminishes is the worst. Calculators, it is left for you to count, to measure, to compare. As the particular will acts constantly in opposition to the general will, the government continually exerts itself against the Sovereignty. The greater this exertion becomes, the more the constitution changes; and, as there is in this case no other corporate will to create an equilibrium by resisting the will of the prince, sooner or later the prince must inevitably suppress the Sovereign and break the social treaty. This is the unavoidable and inherent defect which, from the very birth of the body politic, tends ceaselessly to destroy it, as age and death end by destroying the human body. There are two general courses by which government degenerates: i.e., when it
