篇一:《《翻译理论与技巧》大作业Family Portrait+中译英(1)》
Family Portrait
My mother, who is seventy years old, recently sent me a photograph of herself that I had never seen before. While cleaning out the attic of her Florida home, she came across a studio portrait she had taken about a year before she married my father. This picture of my mother is about a twenty-year-old girl and the story behind it has fascinated me from the moment I began to consider it.
The young in the picture has a face that resembles my own in many ways. Her face is a bit more oval than mine, but the softly waving brown hair around it is identical. The small, straight nose is the same model I was born with. My mother’s mouth is closed, yet there is just the slightest hint of a smile on her full lips. I know that if she had smiled, she would have shown the same wide grin and down-curving “smile lines” that appear in my own snapshots. The most haunting feature in the photo, however, is my mother’s eyes. They are an exact duplicate of my own large, dark-brown ones. Her brows are plucked into thin lines, which are like two pencil strokes added to highlight those fine, luminous eyes. I’ve also carefully studied the clothing and jewelry in the photograph. Although the photo was taken fifty years ago, my mother is wearing a blouse and skirt that could easily be worn today. The blouse is made of heavy eggshell-colored satin and reflects the light in its folds and hollows. It has a turned-down cowl collar and smocking on the shoulders and bellow the collar. The smocking (tiny rows of gathered material) looks hand-done. The skirt, which covers my mother’s calves, is straight and made of light wool or flannel. My mother is wearing silver drop earrings. They are about two inches long and roughly shield-shaped. On her left wrist is a matching bracelet. My mother can’t find this bracelet now, despite the fact that we spent hours searching through the attic for it. On the third finger of her left hand is a ring with a large, square-cut stone.
The story behind the picture is as interesting to me as the young woman it captures. Mom, who was earning twenty-five dollars a week as a file clerk, decided to give her boyfriend (my father) a picture of herself. She spent almost two weeks’ salary on the skirt and blouse, which she bought at a fancy department store downtown. She borrowed the earrings and bracelet from her older sister, my aunt Dorothy. The ring she wore was a present from another young man she was dating at the time. Mom spent another chunk of her salary to pay the portrait photographer for the hand-tinted print in old-fashioned tones of brown and tan. Just before giving the picture to my father, she scrawled at the lower left, “Sincerely, Beatrice.”
When I studied this picture, I react in many ways. I think about the trouble that Mom went into in order to impress the young man who was to be my father. I laugh when I look at the ring, which was probably worn to make my father jealous. I smile at the serious, formal inscription my mother used at this stage of the budding relationship. Sometimes I am filled with a mixture of pleasure and sadness when I look at this frozen long-ago moment. It is a moment of beauty, of love, and—in a way—of my own past.
照片
我的母亲已经是七十高龄。前些日子，她寄给我一张我从未见过的她的照片。在她收拾佛罗里达的家的阁楼时，翻到了这张拍摄于她结婚前一年的艺术照。照片里的母亲还是一个二十来岁的姑娘，在这张照片的背后更是蕴含着一个令我沉思的故事。
照片里的姑娘跟我仿佛一个模子里刻出来似的，神似的但又略圆的脸，一样散落的棕色卷发，跟我一
样与生俱来的小小的尖鼻子。她的嘴巴紧闭着，但是脸上又有若隐若现的笑容。我知道只要她笑了，就会出现跟我的每张照片上一样的笑容。姑娘跟我最神似的莫过于那双暗棕色的大眼睛了，简直是复制的一样。她的眉毛细细的，仿佛只是画了两笔来衬托明亮的眼睛似的。我也仔细的看了看姑娘的衣着和首饰，尽管这张照片拍摄于五十年前，她穿着的衬衫和裙子是至今都流行的款式。这件衬衫是用薄薄的缎子制成的，褶皱处也做工精细。它是阔领的，在肩膀和领口下有一些褶子。这些褶子看起来像手工的。这件裙子长达母亲的小腿，看起来是羊绒或者法兰绒制成的。母亲戴着银耳环，这对耳环有两英寸长。她的左手腕上带着手镯，我们在阁楼里找了很久也没能找到这个镯子。在她的左手中指上戴着一个大大的戒指。
这张照片背后的故事对我来讲也是十分有趣的。我的母亲在当时是一个一星期赚25美元的档案整理员，她决定送她的男朋友也就是我的父亲一张自己的照片，于是她花了两个星期的工资在当时的奢侈品店买了衬衫和裙子。她从我的朵瑞斯姨妈那里借来了这对耳环和手镯，而这个戒指是她曾经交往过的一个男孩子送她的礼物。她又花了一笔钱让摄影师在原来的棕黑的照片上进行了手工染色。就在送给我父亲之前，她还在左下角写下了‘爱你的碧翠丝’。
当我看到这张照片，我反思了很多。我想到了母亲在追我父亲的过程中遇到的种种困难。我拿着那枚让我父亲吃醋的戒指忍俊不禁，母亲用于建立和维护感情的正式手法也让我忍俊不禁。当我回顾起这段时间，更是悲喜交加。这是一段关于美丽，关于爱的故事，更是我自己独有的过去。
学习中文很困难，它牵涉学习全新的字符系统—繁体中文和简体中文，并且中文是一种带声调的语言，声调上的细微变化所传达的意思就会完全不同。基于这些原因，圣马克斯学院只有很少的学生报名上我的课，通常还都是美籍华人。但爱丽丝是个例外。学中文成了她的爱好。她在课堂上积极参与，并花了大量的时间在我们的语言实验室里练习。她和班上的一位美籍中国台湾留学生建立了联系，并在一、二年级的暑期去了台湾。结果爱丽丝的中文程度飞速进步，从最基础的知识到可以流利对话，并能阅读中文报纸。爱丽丝会研究报纸上文章中所蕴含的文化背景，这点令人印象深刻。除了暑期去台北，她还做了大量研究，并提交了很多有关社会问题、经济、农业、政治和性别的论文，需要特别指出的是，她写了一篇有关台北无家可归的人的文章，我力劝她作为评论文章投稿给了本地的报纸《圣马克斯公报》。爱丽丝在课堂上所表现出的活力和快乐对我来说是一大享受，同时也证明了对活跃课堂氛围大有裨益。
It is difficult to learn Chinese. Firstly, it involves a completely new character system—traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese. Secondly, Chinese is a tonal language, it will express totally different meaning while changing the tones. Because of these reasons, there is only few students applying to take my course in St Max College and most of them are Chinese Americans. But Alice is an exception. Leaning Chinese is her hobby. She participated in my class actively and spent lots of time practicing in our language laboratory. She made connection with a classmate who is from Taiwan and travelled to Taiwan in the summer vacation when she was in first and second grade. As a result, Alice made a big progress. At first, she just knew some basic knowledge, and now she can make conversation fluently and read Chinese newspaper. It was impressive that she would explore those culture background which are involed in articles of newspaper. Besides travelling to Taiwan, she made several research and handed in articles about social, economic, argriculture, political and sexual problems, especially one article about homeless people in Taiwan which I encouraged her to submit to local newspaper called St Max communique as an critical eaasy. It is enjoyable for me to see her behaving actively and happily in my class. And it is also helpful to make my class atmosphere be active.

In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight－year－old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader's cheery dressing didn't mask her pain and weary eyes.
Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song？” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem？” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes，” Simran said.
Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone “Some bird soaring through the sky，” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣，唱) birds, and finally the girl's voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.
That was the beginning of Anita Kruse's project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”．
The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip－hop song she had written. A 12－year－old boy with Hodgkin's disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.
“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses，” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”
Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer－free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.

My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store. I don't think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have. They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet.
One of the clerks, Charlie, was always wearing his glasses but he didn't one day. I asked him about it and he said they'd been out of order and that he couldn't afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.
We wanted to help him, so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary contact him, asking him to come in for an eye exam for free. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on, the doctor just told him that someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill, the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I'm sure that upon hearing his story, ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many.

爱
在我们的生活中，处处都有爱。我也亲眼看到过许许多多爱的故事，我来举几个关于爱的故事的事例吧！
1
在一个风和日丽的星期天早晨，我写完了作业后，就下去玩了，我出了小区，看看有没有人在广场上玩儿，可是没有人在广场上玩儿。突然，我看到了对面上的斑马线上一位少年正帮助一位老奶奶过马路。此时正是夏天，天气十分炎热，可是这位少年却缓慢的扶着老奶奶过马路，路人和我都看着十分感动人心。我看到这位少年扶完老奶奶过马路后，头也不回地走了~~~~~~
2
在暑假的时候，记的有一次，我搭公共汽车去上补习班，我上了公共汽车。过了一会儿，上来了几个人，现在人十分的多，我看见了一位成年男子站起来对一位老奶奶说:“您坐这里吧，站着多累啊！”老奶奶说不，争了一会儿，那老奶奶才坐。我们在场的人都说他十分孝敬老人~~~~~~
亲眼看到了这一篇只属于人间的爱的故事的我十分因此感动。读者们，你们读了这篇爱的故事，一定十分感动吧！
篇四:《Leehom Speech》
王力宏牛津大学演讲稿中英对照：
Thank you, Plena. Thank you, Jun. Thank you,Peishan for helping this set up. 谢谢波琳娜，谢谢君，谢谢珮姗帮我组织这一切。
Thank you all for being here today and the late comers as well. Thank you for coming in quietly.
谢谢在座的各位，谢谢晚来的同学，也谢谢你们悄悄的进来。
I wanna start off today just to take a moment of silence for the victims of the Sichuanearthquake and also for the victims of the Boston marathon bombing. So lets just take aminute to pay our respect to that.
今天开始之前，我想要先为四川地震的灾民们以及波士顿马拉松爆炸事件的受害者们默哀。让我们用一分钟时间，为他们祈福。
Thank you.
谢谢你们。
I never thought I would be addressing you, the esteemed members of the Oxford Union,without a guitar or an Erhu, without my crazy stage hair, costumes. But I did perform in theO2 Arena in London last week. I am not sure if any of you were able to make that. But in manyways, that was similar to what Im talking about today, that is, introducing Chinese pop musichere.
尊敬的各位牛津大学辩论会和牛津大学亚太学生会的同学们，万万想不到会以这样的方式跟你们相聚。没有吉他和二胡，没有夸张的舞台装也没有“火力全开”头。不过上周确实在伦敦的O2体育馆表演过了。不知道大家有没有去看呢。但是，从各方面来说，这些跟我们今天的话题都有密切的关联。那就是-介绍华流音乐。
See, I am actually an ambassador of Chinese pop, whether I like it or not, both music andmovies. And today Im here to give you the state of union address. Its not the Oxford Union.Its the union of east and west. I wanna frankly, openly and honestly talk about how weve donea good job or how weve done a bad job of bringing Chinese pop to the west. And I also want topress upon all of you here today the importance of that soft culture, that soft power exchangeand how each of us is involved in that exchange.
其实无论我喜不喜欢，我都被认为在代表者华流音乐以及电影。那么今天，我就要来做一次“国情咨文”报告了。但是，这个“国”不是牛津，而是东西方的一个联合体。我想跟你们聊一聊，我们在将华语音乐引入西方社会方面所做的事情，无论是成就，还是不足。我都会坦诚布公。同时，我也想借此机会给你们留下这样一个印记：软实力交流的重要性以及它同我们每个人的相关程度。
Soft power, a term I am sure you are all familiar with this point
软实力这个词我相信大家都不陌生。这个概念是由Rhodes Scholar 和牛津校友Joseph Nye 提出的。
Coined by Rhodes Scholar and Oxford alumnus Joseph Nye is defined as the ability to attractand persuade.
被定义为一种“吸引”和“说服”的能力。
Shashi Tharoor called it, in a recent TED Talk, the ability for a culture to tell a compellingstory and influence others to fall in love with it.
Shashi Tharoor 在最近的一次TED演讲中把它定义为“一种文化让其他文化在听了他动人的故事之后受到影响并爱上这种文化”的能力。
I like that definition.
我很喜欢这个定义。
But I want to put it in collegiate term for all you students in the audience: The way I see it,east and west are kinda like freshman roommates.
但是我想用贴近你们在做大学生们的方式来解释这个词。在我看来，东方跟西方在某种程度上，像是两个大一刚入学的新生舍友。
You dont know a lot about each other but suddenly you are living together in the same room.And each one is scared that the others gonna steal his shower time or wants a party when theother wants to study.
两个几乎陌生的人，突然来到同一个屋檐下，其中一个总是怕另一个会跟他抢洗澡的时间，或者在他想要学习的时候大开趴体。
It has the potential to be absolute hell, doesnt it? We all had horrible stories of THATroommate. Weve all heard about those stories. I know a lot of students here in Oxford haveyour own separate bedrooms. But when I was a freshman at Williams College, I was not so safeand fortunate.
这种关系很可能就变成跟地狱一样了，不是么？“我的室友是极品”的故事大家都讲得出来。这些事我都有耳闻。还有我知道牛津这儿的很多同学都一人一间的对吧，但是，在我刚上威廉姆斯学院的时候，我并不幸运，而且人身安全堪忧。
(You are kidding me. Woo-hoo! All right, all right！Great. )
哇，你还真的是我们学校的！好吧，好棒！
Well, I had a roommate, and he was THAT roommate. Lets just call him Frank. So Frank wasmy roommate and Frank liked nothing more than to smoke weed. And he did it every day.
我当时就有一个这样的极品舍友，让我们暂且叫他frank。这个frank 就是那种好像除了抽大麻没有别的爱好的人。而且他每天都抽。
And Frank had a two-foot long bong under his bed that was constantly being fired up. Forthose Chiese speakers in the audience. Frank would “火力全开” on that bong every day.
他床底下有一个两英尺长的烟斗，持续不断的得点着。给在做讲中文的同学们形容下，就是他每天会对着那个烟斗火力全开
All right
好吧。
So, I guess I was kinda of the opposite of Bill Clinton who “tried marijuana but didnt inhale”. Ididnt try marijuana but I did inhale, every single day, second hand. And strangely enoughevery time I dwelt into our bedroom, I mysteriously end up being late for class. I dont knowhow it happened. It was like “Dude, it is already ten oclock?”.
我可能在这点上算是跟Bill Clinton 相反吧。Bill Clinton 是那种“我试过大麻，但我不上瘾。”我不抽大麻，但是我每天都在吸啊吸，而且还是二手的。奇怪的是，只要我在我们的卧室里，我最后都会稀里糊涂地上课迟到。我也不知道怎么回事。我当时就是那副吸了大麻的样子，嘿，已经十点了吗？
So, how many of you have lived with the Frank, or could be a Frank Gat? Having a roommatecan be a recipe for disaster, but it also has the potential for being the greatest friendshipyouve ever had. See, Frank, he didnt make it the second year. And I got two new roommatessecond year, Stephen and Jason. And in this day, the three of us are the best friends.
你们中有多少人有过frank那样的舍友呢？或者，你们也像他一样。所以有一个室友可能是一场灾难的开始。但也可能会酿造一段非凡的友谊。Frank第二年就辍学了。于是我换了两个新的舍友，Stefan 和 Jason。如今，我们三个是铁哥们。
So going back to my analogy, of east and west as roommates. Do we want to be Frank, or do wewant to be Stephen and Jason? And I think, in this day and age of 2013, we should all bestriving for the latter, should we…I mean Im assuming that we all agree that this is the goalwe should all be striving for. 回过头来看我的那个类比，我们东方和西方的舍友。是应该成为frank那样的存在，还是想像Stefan 和 Jason那样呢？我认为在当时当下，在2013，我们应该努力成为后者。我们应该，我是说，我想在这一目标上我们是可以达成共识的，对吧？
Lets look at where we are in reality. Recent headlines in the media include, Foreign PolicyMagazine: Chinas victim complex. Why are Chinese leaders so paranoid about the UnitedStates? Or the AFP, the Agence France-Presse, hu
man rights in China worsening US finds.Bloomberg says, on the cover of its magazine, “yes, the Chinese Army is spying on you.”
那么，回过头来，正视我们在现实中的处境。看看最近的新闻头条：《外交政策》杂志上的，“中国的受害者情节：为何中国领导人如此猜忌美国”或者法新社的财经杂志《彭博商业周刊》上说，“没错，中国军队正在测探你。”
And its such a great one that I just want to show you the cover of the magazine. Yes. Be veryafraid! Ok, is it shown to you right? OK. So theres actually an extremely high amount ofnegativity and fear and anxiety about China, sinophobia, that I think is not just misinformed,but also misleading and ultimately dangerous, very dangerous.
这个特别逗，我来给你们展示一下这封面。是的，特别恐慌有木有！方向那对的吧，嗯，对的。当今对于中国有太多的负面东西。恐华情绪很严重。我觉得这种现象不仅是一种误传同时也是一种误导。这是很可怕的，超级可怕。
And what about how westerners are viewed by Chinese? Well, we have terms for westerners.The most common of which are gweilo in Cantonese, which means “the old devil”, lao wai,meaning the old outsider in mandarin, ang moh, which means the “red hairy one” in Taiwanese.The list goes on and on. So are these roommates headed for a best friend relationship? I thinkwe need a little help. And as China rises to be global power, I think it is more important thanever for us to be discerning about what we believe, because after all, I think thats the purposeof higher education.
那么，中国人又是如何看待西方的呢？我们对西方人的称呼五花八门。大家熟知的有：香港人叫他们“鬼佬”，字面上就是“老妖”。大陆人叫他们老外，字面上就是“蛮夷”。还有台湾人叫他们“红毛”。还真说不完呢。这看上去像是能发展成一段最佳友谊的舍友关系吗？我认为我们得治治病。随着中国实力不断强大，看清楚应该相信什么这一点空前重要。因为，归根结底，这就是高等教育的目的。
And thats why we are all here: to be able to think for ourselves and make our own decisions.Chinas not just those headlines, the burgeoning economy of the unique politics. Its not justthe worlds factory or the next big superpower, its so much more. A billion people with richculture, amazing stories and as a product of both of those cultures, I want to help fosterunderstanding between the two, and help create that incredible relationship.
这就是我们坐在这里的原因：有能力独立思考，自主选择。中国当然不能通过那些新闻头条来定义。也不只是所谓的特殊政策下快速增长的经济。中国不仅仅是一个世界工厂，也不仅仅是未来超级大国。中国的意义价值远大于此。一个拥有十几亿人口，丰富悠久的历史文化
与传奇故事的民族。作为中西两种文化的共同产物，我特别想要帮忙在两种文化之间培养起一种互相的理解，建立起一种很美好的情谊。
Because knowing both sides of the coin, I really think that there is a love story waiting to betold, waiting to unfold. And I am only half-joking when I said love story because I believe it is,the stories that will save us, will bring us together. And my thesis statement for todays talk isthat, the relationship between the east and west needs to be and can be fixed via pop culture.Thats a big fat plan. And I am gotta trying to back it up!
但凡事都有两面，所以我认为这背后蕴含着一个亟待讲述的爱情故事。我说“爱情故事”不完全在说笑。因为我相信，这些关于爱的故事能够拯救我们，把我们凝聚在一起。我今天讲的主题就是，通过流行文化修复东西方世界的关系。好宏伟的计划有木有啊！我会想办法讲明白的。
The UN Secretary general Bunki Boo said:
“There are no language required in musical world.”That is the power of music. That is the power of the heart. Through this promotion of arts, wecan better understand that the culture and civilizations of other people. In this era ofinstability and intolerance, we need to promote better understanding through the power ofmusic.
联合国秘书长潘基文说过，在音乐的世界里，沟通时无需语言的。这就是音乐的力量。这就是人心的力量。通过发扬艺术，我们才能够更好的了解其他民族的文明与文化。在这个动荡不安，人与人之间不甚宽容的年代，我们需要利用音乐的力量来更好的了解彼此。
Now the UN Secretary General thinks we need more music, and I think he is right. Music andarts have always played the key role in my life in building relationships, replacing what once wasthe ignorance, fear and hatred with acceptance, friendships and even love. So I have astrong case for promoting music between cultures because it happened to me early in life.
联合国秘书长认为我们需要更多的音乐。这一点我很赞同。音乐和艺术一直在我的生命中占据着很重要的地位。音乐和艺术的力量能够帮助建立人与人之间的关系，用包容，友谊和爱来驱逐因为无知的仇恨而产生的恐惧。在不同文化之间推广音乐这一点上，我自己的童年时期的经历是一个最好的例证。
I was born and raised in Rochester, New York. I barely spoke a word of Chinese. I didnt knowthe difference between Taiwan or Thailand. I was… Thats true. I was as American as apple pie.Until one day, on a third grade playground, the inevitable finally happened. I got teased forbeing Chinese.

其实我今晚并不是要专程看这个电影，初衷是想了解一下古驰原罪香水的由来，不过既然有这个电影，不妨就把时间付出于此。
安吉丽娜朱莉是我的女神，片头看到那性感的嘴巴，我已经忍不住叫了出来。我没有提前查看影片的内容梗概，刚开始的桥段就显出不俗，然而朱莉告诉大家，这不是一个关于爱情的故事，而是一个关于爱的故事，我真的就疑惑了，难道不是爱情？
浪漫的富商执意要和素未谋面的女人结婚，早上九点他去码头接她，十点进入婚礼殿堂，节奏似乎非常快，用中国的话理解，就是“千里姻缘一线牵”。见面后男主角华先生并没有认出已经见过照片的女主角罗朱莉，朱莉解释说因为怕他因为美貌而娶她，华也坦承他也没有说实话，信上说他是一个咖啡公司的小职员，其实他是老板，怕她贪图钱财而嫁给他。两个人都说谎了，好像是很有默契是吗，然而并不是，因为朱莉说了不属于她的谎。华表示既然双方都愿意，希望彼此真诚相待。
婚后华非常爱朱莉，那些已婚人士都以过来人的经验告诉他没有爱情这回事，但他偏偏以爱情的形式来对待他的妻子。朱莉表示她不想这么快就和他行夫妻之事，他说愿意给她时间，会一直等直到她愿意的时候。朱莉做恶梦后他会一直陪着她，拥着她温柔地抚摸朱莉背上的一道道疤痕。
就在大家都羡慕这对神仙眷侣的时候，出事了，朱莉的大姐跑来告诉华，朱莉写给她的信并非朱莉的笔迹，而是一个完全陌生的人写的，华骑马狂奔到家，发现他的妻子朱莉果然已经不在了，并且携款而走，他的银行卡里仅剩六十多块钱。
他快要疯了，他去找妓女发泄，疯狂狠命地撞击着妓女的身体，发泄完就把那妓女赶走。一个儒雅、对爱情忠诚的男人在受了多大的刺激的时候才会以动物的本性来寻求发泄？
