四六級翻譯習題2

1徐霞客一生周游考察了十六個省，足跡幾乎遍及全國。他在考察的過程中，從來不盲目迷信書本上的結論。他發(fā)現(xiàn)前人研究地理的記載有許多很不可靠的地方。為了進行真實細致的考察，他很少乘車坐船，幾乎全靠雙腳翻山越嶺，長途跋涉；為了弄清大自然的真相，他總是挑選道路艱險的山區(qū)，人跡稀少的森林進行考察，發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多奇山秀景；他常常選擇不同的時間和季節(jié)，多次重游各地名山，反復觀察變換的奇景。XuXiaketouredandinvestigated16provincesinhislifetime,coveringalmostthewholeofChina/thewholecountry.Whenhewascarryingouthisinvestigations,henevertookblindbeliefintheconclusionsinthebooks.Insteadhefoundalotofunreliablepointsinthegeographicrecordstakenbyhispredecessors.Inordertomakehisinvestigationsreliableandthorough,heseldomtraveledbycarriageorboat.Instead,hetooklong,arduoustripsonfootalmostallthetime,climbingmountainsandhills.Inordertolearnaboutthetruthofnature,healwayschosetoconductinvestigationsinmountainousareaswithdangerousroadsandinlonely/untraveledwoods,wherehediscoveredalotofmagnificentpeaksandbeautifulsights.2可是我卻哭了?？弈悄吧?、但卻疼愛我的賣灶糖(candy)的老漢。后來我常想，他為什么疼愛我呢？無非我是個貪吃的、因為丑陋而又少人疼愛的吧。等我長大以后，總感到除了母親，再沒有誰能夠像他那樣樸素地疼愛過我——沒有任何希求，也沒有任何企望的。我常常想念他，也常常想要找到我那個像豬肚子一樣的煙荷包?？墒牵缫巡恢晃襾G到哪里去了。ButIcriedforthestrangeoldcandypeddlerwhohadbeensofondofme.Lateron,Iwonderedwhy.FornootherreasonthanthatIwasafoolishlittlethingwholovedcandy,withfewtolovemebecauseofmyplainface.WhenIglowup,Icouldneverforgetthatapartfrommyownmother,noonehadlovedmesofondlyandsodisinterestedly,withnoexpectationswhatever.Ioftenthinkofhimnow,andhavetriedtofindthattobaccopouchthathadlookedlikeapieceofporkliver.ButIdon’tknowwhatbecameofit.3多少年來，我養(yǎng)成了一個習慣：每天早晨四點在黎明以前起床工作。我不出去跑步或散步，而是一下床就干活兒。因此我對黎明前的北京的了解是在屋子里感覺到的。我從前在什么報上讀過一篇文章，講黎明時分天安門廣場上的清潔工人。那情景必然是非常動人的，可惜我從未能見到，只是心向往之而已。Formanyyears,Ihavebeeninthehabitofgettingupbeforedaybreaktostartworkatfour.Insteadofgoingoutforajogorwalk,I’llsetaboutmyworkassoonasI’moutofbed.Asaresult,itisfrominsidemystudythatI'vegotthefeelofpredawnBeijing.Yearsago,IhituponanewspaperarticleaboutstreetcleanersinTian’anmenSquareatdaybreak.Itmusthavebeenaverymovingscene,butwhatapityIhaven’tseenitwithmyowneyes.Icanonlypictureitinmymindlongingly.4長沙是一個有3000多年歷史的美麗古城。城市的西邊是秀美的岳麓山，山下有千年書院“岳麓書院”等眾多古跡。市區(qū)中心的古城樓天心閣，距今有1000多年的歷史。千百年來水質(zhì)清純，終年不斷的白沙古井也坐落在長沙城中。今天的長沙市民還常常在這里打水飲用。湘江中的橘子洲頭，是當年毛澤東先生經(jīng)常漫步思考的地方，后來還寫了一首非常著名的詩來贊美她。Changshaisabeautifulancientcitywithahistoryofover3,000years.WestofthecityisthebeautifulYueluHill,atthefootofthehill,aremanyhistoricsitessuchasYueluAcademy.Inthecenterofthecityistheancientcitygatetower--TianxinTower,whichwasfirstbuilt1000yearsago.AlsolocatedinthecityistheancientBaishaWell,fromwhichclearandpurewaterhasbeengushingoutnonstopthroughouttheyearforthousandsofyears.InhabitantsinChangshatodaystillcomeheretofetchwaterfordrinking.OrangeIsland5洞庭湖是中國第二大淡水湖。洞庭湖畔的岳陽樓，是中國三大名樓中唯一保hecouldneverfindtherightfeel.Oneday,whenhecamehomefromthetheater,hesawhiswifeabsorbedintidyingupclothes.Hehituponabrightidea,and,seizingaporcelainpotwithdesignsoforchidhesmasheditontothefloor.Withacrashthepotbrokeintopieces.Astonished,hiswifeturnedaroundinpanic.Inthisinstant,MeiLanfangcapturedher
