第一篇：中級口譯教程梅德明第三版8-2傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日
傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日Traditional Holidays 我很高興有機會向各位介紹中國的主要傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，尤其是介紹中國最重要的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日——春節(jié)。
I’m very happy to have the opportunity to talk to you about major traditional Chinese holidays and in particular about the Spring Festival ,the most important Chinese holiday.同世界其他地區(qū)一樣，節(jié)日在中國是人們勤于烹調(diào)、飽享口福的時候。菜市場魚肉滿架，購物和烹調(diào)成了人們的主要活動。但是節(jié)慶膳食除了在數(shù)量和質(zhì)量上與平日不同之外，一些歷史悠久、具有象征意義的特色食物也是節(jié)日必不可缺的伴侶。
Like in the rest of the world , holidays in china are a time to enjoy good cooking and eating,Grocery markets are well stocked with all kinds of fish and meat and shopping and cooking become major activities.But in addition to the quantitative and qualitative differences apparent in holiday meals,some special traditional foods with their symbolic significance are indispensable on these occasions.例如農(nóng)歷5月三日的端午節(jié)，人們過端午節(jié)是為了紀念被昏君貶官放逐而抱石投江自盡的古代詩人和忠臣屈原。最初人們將以蘆葦葉包扎好的糯米粽子投入屈原自盡的那條江，以祭祀亡靈。今天，人們在端午節(jié)時舉行龍舟比賽，而粽子則由活生生的人來享用。
The Dragon Boat Festival on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month(around early June)is celebrated in memory of Qu Yuan,an ancient poet and loyal minister who drowned himself while in exile from a corrupt court.Zongzi,a kind of glutinous rice dumpling wrapped in reed leaves,were originally prepared as sacrificial offerings for Qu Yuan’s departed soul and droppd into the river where he drowned himself.Today,however,dragon boat races are held during the festival and the zongzi are consumed by the living.農(nóng)歷8月15日的中秋節(jié)是觀賞滿月的日子。圓圓的月亮象征著圓滿，進而象征著家庭團聚。中秋節(jié)日的特制食品是一種圓形的月餅，內(nèi)含核桃仁、蜜餞、豆沙或蛋黃等食物。
The Mid-autumn festival which occurs on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month(around mid-September)is an occasion for viewing the full moon.The round moon is a symbol for completeness,and by extension,family reunion.The specialty of the day is the yuebing(mooncake),a round pastry filled with nuts,candied preserved fruits,bean paste,duck egg yolks,etc.春節(jié)是中國最重要的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，標志著農(nóng)歷新年的開始。春節(jié)的日期按農(nóng)歷而定，通常出現(xiàn)在公歷2月份前半個月的某一天。過春節(jié)又叫做“過年”，意思是避開“年”這個怪物。相傳“年”是古時候的一種兇猛的怪物。它的樣子想強壯的公牛，長著獅子一樣的頭。這個怪物通常待在深山里。但每到冬末春初他在山里找不到足夠的食物就會闖入村莊找東西吃。村民們見之非常害怕，于是紛紛搬家，逃離這個怪物。后來人們發(fā)現(xiàn)，“年”非常害怕三樣東西：紅色、明亮火焰以及大聲喧嘩。人們?yōu)榱俗柚埂澳辍边M村，就把大門漆成紅色，還點火燒竹子，發(fā)出噼噼啪啪的響聲。從此以后，“年”再也不來村里了。一個傳統(tǒng)就這樣形成了。竹子燃燒時發(fā)出的這種響聲被后來的鞭炮聲所取代。這就是中國人燃放鞭炮歡慶春節(jié)的來歷。
The Spring Festival, the most important traditional Chinese festival,marks the beginning of the Chinese Lunar New year.The Spring Festival is celebrated according to the lunar calendar,and generally occurs some time in the first half of February.The Spring Festival is also called Guo Nian in Chinese,meaning keeping off the monster of Nian.The legend has it that Nian was a fierce monster back in ancient times.It looked liked a strong bull with a head like that of a lion.Usually the monster stayed deep in the mountains.But at the turn of each spring,the monster,unable to find enough food in the mountains,came out of its mountain lair and entered villages to eat whatever it could catch.Villagers were so scared that they moved away to escape the ferocious monster.Later people found that Nian was afraid of three things:red color,bright flame and loud noise.To prevent Nian from entering their villages,villagers painted their doors red, burned stalks of bamboo,which made cracking sounds.Ever since then,Nian never again came to the villages.Thus, a tradition was established.Later, the noise of the cracking bamboo was replaced by the bang of firecrackers for the Spring Festival.春節(jié)期間人們通常猛吃暢飲。春節(jié)的食物比較講究，除了常見的海鮮、家禽和肉類之外，人們還要按各自的地方習俗烹制一些傳統(tǒng)菜肴。因為春節(jié)標志著新年的第一天，所以第一頓飯是相當重要的。餃子、湯圓、年糕和八寶飯是過年時家家戶戶必不可少的吉祥食品?！澳旮狻边@個詞里的“糕”字與“高”諧音，寓意來年“節(jié)節(jié)高”。香甜的湯圓則是合家團圓的象征。
Customarily,lavishly consuming food and drink is a major activity during the Spring Festival.People are usually particular about their food.In addition to the popular seafood,poultry and meat, regional custom dictates that traditional favorites should be prepared and consumed.Since the festival marks the first day of a brand new year,the first meal is rather important.Such foods as jiaozi(boiled dumplings),tangyuan(soup of small rice balls cooked with fillings),niangao(New Year cake,thick steamed pudding of glutinous rice flour)and babaofan(steamed sweet glutinous rice pudding)are signs of good luck and indispensable in every household.The Chinese character gao in the word niangao is homonymous with the word”tall”,suggesting “growing up and prospering”in the new year,and the round sweet dumpling is a symbol of family reunion.春節(jié)期間的娛樂活動多種多樣，豐富多彩。耍龍燈和舞獅子是春節(jié)期間的傳統(tǒng)項目。還有一種至今仍受人歡迎的傳統(tǒng)表演活動，叫踩高蹺。根據(jù)記載，中國人的祖先開始使用高蹺是為了從樹上采集水果。如今，熟練地高蹺表演者能夠在高蹺上展示驚人的技藝，表演高難度的動作。
The recreational activities during the Spring Festival are varied and colorful.The Dragon Dance and Lion Dance are traditionally performed during the festival.Walking on stilts is another traditional performance event popular in China.According to the archives, Chinese ancestors event began using stilts to help them gather fruits from trees.Today’s skillful performers can perform truly amazing feats and extremely difficult movements on stilts.現(xiàn)在，隨著生活水平的不斷提高，人們采用了新的方式慶祝新年。但不管慶祝方式怎么變，春節(jié)的精華不會變，那就是為了祈求新年吉祥如意，家家戶戶都會打掃得干干凈凈，門上都會貼上對聯(lián)，人人穿上新衣裳，拿出最精美的食物，團聚在一起，互道吉利，表示祝賀。最重要的是，春節(jié)是一個合家歡聚的日子，出門在外的人總要想方設法在除夕夜到來之前趕回家，吃上一年中最重要的一頓飯——“團圓飯”。Nowadays,with the improvement of living standards,people have taken up new ways to celebrate the traditional Chinese New year.No matter what changes there might be, the traditional highlights of the Spring Festival will remain the same:hoping for a propitious and happy new year,each family will clean up the house and put up an antithetical couplet on each side of the door.Dressed up in their best,people will get together,treat each other to the most delicious foods and exchange auspicious greetings.Most important of all, the Spring Festival is the occasion for a family reunion.People away from home for various reasons will always try their best to come back home before the New Year’s Eve for the family reunion dinner,the most important meal of the year.從傳統(tǒng)意義上說，春節(jié)以元宵節(jié)為終結日。每年農(nóng)歷正月十五的元宵節(jié)又被稱之為“燈節(jié)”，自古以來就是展覽和觀賞花燈的盛大節(jié)日。這一節(jié)日正如宋詞所描寫的那樣：“魚燈萬里耀長空，鬧燈元宵處處同。頂馬獅龍人物好，街歌巷舞盡兒童?！?/p>
Traditionally,the Spring Festival season ends with the Lantern Festival which falls on the 15th of the first lunar month.The Lantern Festival has been the great occasion to display and watch lanterns since antiquity.A poet of the Song Dynasty wrote these lines,”The sky is ablaze with myriads of fish-shaped lanterns.It is fun everywhere on the Lantern Festival.Lanterns in shape of horse,lion,dragon and human figure are all attractive.Streets and lanes are packed with singing and dancing children.”
我今天簡要介紹了一下中國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，希望各位朋友有機會去親身體驗一下我國傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日的歡樂氣氛。
I have given a brief introduction of traditional Chinese festivals.I sincerely hope that you have the chance to experience for yourself the happy festival atmosphere in China.

課文口譯Text for Lnterpretacion(157頁)Listen and interpret the following passage from English into Chinese: Mr.President, On behalf of all my colleague present here, 1 wish to thank you for the incomparable hospitality for which the Chinese people are justly famous throughout the world.1 particularly want to pay tribute（禮物;稱贊）, not only to those who prepared the magnificent（壯麗的;偉大）dinner, but also to those who have provided the splendid（極好的或令人滿意的壯觀的）music.我不僅要特別感謝為我們準備晚宴的人們，而且還要特別感謝演奏優(yōu)美音樂的人們。These have been very pleasant days in China, and 1'm happy that my visit should conclude in such a congenial（?nd?i:ni?l性格相似的;適意的;融洽的）atmosphere.Mr.President, 1 wish to thank you for your very gracious and eloquent（有說明力的;逼真的）remarks（評論）我要感謝您那熱情洋溢、慷慨陳詞的演講。At this very moment through the wonder of telecommunications電訊設備, many people are hearing what we say today.許多人正在通過神奇的電訊設備傾聽著我們的講話Yet , what we say here will not be long remembered.But what we do here can change the world.So, let us start a long march together on different roads leading to the same goal, the goal of building a world structure of peace and justice in which all may stand together with equal dignity and in which each nation, large or small, has a right to determine its own form of government , its own course of development, free of outside interference 干涉or domination.We have a social and political system which differs in many respects from your own.It is the result of different experiences and a different tradition.This system of ours does not always produce results of which we all approve.我們的制度并不總是帶來大家都贊同的結果。People sometimes grumble（'ɡr?mbl抱怨）at it and criticize（批評）it.But it is a political system deeply rooted in the instincts（本能，天性）of our people.但是這種制度根深蒂固，已成為我國人民的意識與行為的本能We do not aim（瞄準，旨在;以…為目標;致力于）to impose（強加）our own ideas on other people.We believe that it is right and necessary that people with different political and social systems should live side by side.我們認為，有著不同政治制度和社會制度的人們和平相處是正確而又必要的We do not assess（評價）in identical（同一的;完全同樣的）fashion（方式，時尚）all aspects of today's world 我們沒有用同一種模式來評價當今世界的方方面面-with our distinct（明顯的，卓越的）histories, geographies（d??'?ɡr?f?）地理 and cultures it is inconceivable（難以相信的）that we could see eye to eye on all issues很難想象我們會對所有問題都有一致的看法-but we do agree on the fundamental need for world peace, and the equally fundamental need for all countries to determine their own fate and design their own future.各國決定自己的命運、規(guī)劃自己的未來也同樣是我們的基本需求。
The world watches.The world listens.The world waits to See what we will do.What legacy('leɡ?s?遺產(chǎn))shall we leave our children? Are they destined(dest?nd命中注定的)to die painfully(痛苦的)for the hatreds（he?tr?d仇恨，敵意）which have plagued（使染瘟疫;使痛苦）the old world, or are they destined to live joyfully because we had the vision to build a new world? This is the hour.This is the day for us to rise to the heights（ha?t，高度）of greatness（偉大;崇高）which can build a new and better world.這是一個攀登崇高理想、創(chuàng)造更美好的新世界的時刻。In that spirit, 1 ask all of you present to join me in raising your glasses to the friendship and cooperation of our two peoples which can Lead to friendship and peace for all peoples in the world.主席先生: 我謹代表我在座的所有同事，對你們那獨有的、著稱于世的款待表 示感謝.我不僅要特別感謝為我們準備晚宴的人們，而且還要特別感 謝演奏優(yōu)美音樂的人們。我們在中國度過了十分愉快的時光，我很高興我的訪問能在如此融洽的氣氛中結束。主席先生，我要感謝您那熱情洋溢、慷慨陳詞的演講。此時此刻，許多人正在通過神奇的電訊設備傾聽著我們的講話.然而.我們在這里所說的話很快便會被人們遺忘.但是，我們在這里所做的事卻能改變世界。所以，讓我們沿著通往共同目標的不同的道路，一起開始新的長征。這個目標就是建設一個和平與正義的世界，在這個世界里所有人都可以站在一起享有同等的尊嚴，所有國家無論其大小，都有權決定自己的政府形式，選擇自己的發(fā)展道路，而不受外來干涉或統(tǒng)治。我國的社會制度和政治制度在許多方面都與貴國的社會制度和政治制度不同。這是我們不同的經(jīng)歷和不同的傳統(tǒng)造就的。我們的制度并不總是帶來大家都贊同的結果。人們有時會抱怨這種制度，批評這種制度。但是這種制度根深蒂固，已成為我國人民的意識與行為的本能。我們不想把自己的思想意識強加于人。我們認為，有著不同政治制度和社會制度的人們和平相處是正確而又必要的。我們沒有用同一種模式來評價當今世界的方方面面一一由于我們有著截然不同的歷史、地理和文化，很難想象我們會對所有問題都有一致的看法一一但是我們彼此一致認為，世界和平是我們的基本需求，各國決定自己的命運、規(guī)劃自己的未來也同樣是我們的基本需求。世界注視著我們，世界傾聽著我們，世界拭目以待我們的作為。我們要留給下一代什么遺產(chǎn)呢?他們是注定要痛苦地死于曾肆虐于舊世界的仇恨之中呢，還是因為我們曾有的締造新世界的遠見而必將要愉快地生活呢?時不我待，這是一個攀登崇高理想、創(chuàng)造更美好的新世界的時刻。本著這種精神，我敬請各位與我一起舉杯，讓我們?yōu)槟軌蚪o全世界人民帶來友誼與和平的我們兩國人民之間的友誼與合作而干杯。

A: 羅伯茨先生，您在中國生活兩年了，還習慣吧？
B:I think I′m quite used to my Chinese life here.Actually I′m thinking about settling down in China for good.A:前幾天我看可一部美國電影，片名叫《美國麗人》。我沒有完全看懂，我也不知道這部電影為何獲得了當年的奧斯卡最佳影片獎。我完全看懂可能是中美兩國的文化差異吧，或者叫做東西方文化差異。
B:This is a good topic and a broad topic , too.Let me talk a bit more about the film you mentioned.Actually , I have noticed a very interesting dafference many Chinese and Americans in understanding the title of the film.A:是嗎？ B:In some Oriental countries , the translation of the film′s title goes as something like A Beautiful Americian Lady , or even Beauty is Guily.While to most of the American , I am afaid the reaction towardf this title is mixed or confused, for they cannot decide what exactly the pharase might indicate.The flim fist and foremost refers to a type of rose bearing large , long-stemmmed purplish-red flowers.And the flowers usually remind people of romance , love , beauty in its abstract, sense, and vigor and vitality of a nation , etc.But this interesting image on the film′s poster has failed to make any sense to many Chinese viewers.A:你說的沒錯。至少我就沒想注意到這個意思！難道這是文化差異造成的嗎? B:Yes, absolutely.Such cultural differnces arise from the differences in region ,race, history ,environment , and in the levels of economic , scientic and technological development.B:您能給我舉例子嗎？比如說，您在中國的生活和工作中發(fā)現(xiàn)什么嚴重的文化差異或沖突嗎？
B:We wmphasize efficiency , competition and originality while your manmangement gives priority to careful planning and encourages close cooperation and altruistic dedication among team members.In daily contacts, we tend to be humorous and casual while some of you appear more derious and formal.In American schools , discussion is given top priority and seminar is the usual way of class.Good teachers are those who possess flexible and adaptable talents , and are able to respond instantaneously at any moment to any question that might arise among the students.That kind of capacity makes a popular teacher in the United States.But Chinese teachers like to lecture in class ,and a lot of them are obsessed with examinations;they spend long hours standarding and preparing lessons , and writing consistent and standardized teaching plans.All too often , they′re happy with bringing up identical and standardized talents.A:我感到美國人太看重個人主義，太看重個人利益，這樣可能會犧牲集體的利益，影響群體之間的和睦，甚至會損害社會的和諧。
B:Yes , in many cases , you′re right.American working ethic seems to be more individual-oriented.We ofen value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process.Central to Amerian political , economic and social thought is the concept of individual moral autonomy.If I am not mistaken , traditional Chinese philosophical systems are based on Confucianism , which sings high prises for individuals to uplift themselves for the benefit of commual harmon.That is , communal harmony takes precedence over individual freedom.A可以這樣說，應該說是部分正確吧。盡管我們有如此多的文化差異，全球化浪潮正使世界變得越來越小，文化交流也隨之變得越來越廣泛。
B:Yes.The global integration of economy and the speeding information revolution have brought the world closer than ever before.Chinese learn English , Americans learn Chinese;we drink tea,you drink coca-cola;we exercise Kung Fu , you go bowling;we enjoy Peking Duck , you like KFC;Titannic sailed into China , The Peony Pavilion has been performed on Broadway.Nowadays , easterners and westerners are walking side by side , talking face to face , living, working and studying in harmony.The whole world is becoming increasingly beautiful due to cultural exchangers.A:是的，“中國麗人”和“美國麗人”走到了一起。我想這個話題還有許多值得我們探討的地方，由于時間關系，我們今天暫且談到這里。以后我們再接著聊吧。謝謝。B:My pleasure.Yes, we′ll do it some other time.參考譯文：
A：Mr·Roberts, you have been living in China for two years.How do you like it ? B:我想我已十分習慣這里的生活，其實我還想在中國永久定居呢。
A：I saw an American Movie a few days ago , which is entitled “American Beauty”.I didn′t quite the story.I don′t quite understand why this movie won the Oscar for the best picture of the year , either.Maybe the answer is the difference between the Chinese and American cultures.Or rather , it is due to the culture difference between the East and the West.B:這是一很好的話題，也是一個很大的題目。我想先從你提到的電影談起。事實上，我注意到許多中國人和美國人在理解此片時有一個非常有趣的差別。A：Yes? B:一些東方國家將這部電影的片名譯成《一個美麗的美國女士》，甚至譯成《美麗有罪》。大多數(shù)美國人對于這種片名的反應頗為復雜，他們頗感困惑，難以斷定這些詞究竟意味著什么。其實American beauty首先是指一種美國紅玫瑰，一種生有長莖的紫紅色的大花。這種花會讓人想到浪漫、愛情、抽象意義上的美，它還表示民族的勃勃生機等。我認為，這種見于電影海報的有趣意象，許多中國觀眾卻未能理解其中的含義。A：That′s right.At least I didn′t get that.Is this due to cultural differences? B:確實這樣。這種文化差異是由地域、種族、歷史和環(huán)境的差異造成的，也是由經(jīng)濟和科技水平的差異造成的。
A：Can you offer us some examples ? For instance , during your stay in China , have you have found any serious cultural differences or clashes with regard to life and work ? B:我們強調(diào)效率、競爭和獨創(chuàng)性，而你們則將嚴謹規(guī)劃放在首位，鼓勵團隊成員之間的密切合作個無私奉獻。在日常交往中，我們往往比較幽默和隨意，而你們則比較認真和嚴肅。在美國學校，討論享有至高無上的地位，討論就是課堂教學的主旋律。優(yōu)秀教師具有靈活應變的才能，能睡會回答學生可能提出的各種問題。這樣的教師最受歡迎。而中國教師喜歡講課，喜歡考試，花許多時間起備課，編寫千篇一律的標準教案，培養(yǎng)齊劃一的高材生。A:I think Americans give too much importance to individualism and personal gains ,so much so that ot might sacrifice collective benefits , hurt the agreeable relationship among group members and even bring harm to the harmony of the society.B:你說得對，在很多情況下，確實如此。我們美國人的工作理念似乎更強調(diào)個人主義。我們一般重視的是結果和成就，而不是過程。美國政治觀、經(jīng)濟觀以及社會觀的核心是個人道德自治觀。如果我沒理解錯的話，中國傳統(tǒng)的思想體系是以儒家學說為基礎的，這種思想強調(diào)整體和諧，強調(diào)整體和諧高于個體自由。
A：You may say so.I should say you are partially correct on that.In spite of so many cultural differences , globalization has brought the world increasingly closer.Likewise , cultural exchanges have become more and more extensive.B:是的。全球經(jīng)濟一體化，不斷加速的信息革命，等等，都使世界的聯(lián)系比以往更加緊密。中國人學習英語，美國人學習漢語，美國人學習漢語；我們飲茶，你們喝可樂；我們練功夫，你們玩保齡球；我們品嘗北京烤鴨，你們喜歡肯德基；《泰坦尼克號》駛進了中國，《牡丹亭》也在百老匯上演了?，F(xiàn)在，東方人肩并肩走路，面對面談，和諧的生活、工作和學習。整個世界由于文化的交流而變得越來越美麗。
A：Yes , “Chinese beauty” and “American beauty” are walking together.I belive there is still much room for further discussion on this topic.As time is limited , we have to stop here today.We are find some other time to continue our talk.Thank you.B:不客氣。是呀，我們另找時間再接著聊。
