大學英語四級段落翻譯練習題

　　下面是小編整理的，希望對大家有幫助。

　　歌謠跟口頭流傳的神話，遠在文字出現之前就已大量產生。中國的文學正是發端於此。不過歌謠本是人們生活中隨興而發的***improvised***東西，上古時代也沒有儲存和記載它們的手段，因之也就很快湮滅，不留痕跡。如今，我們只能從古籍書中推斷它們的存在。古書中記載了一些據稱年代非常久遠的歌謠，但是大多出於後人的偽託***derivatives***，能夠斷定年代的歌謠要到《詩經》裡才能看見。從這點來看，古代神話對中國文學的影響更為重要。

　　參考譯文

　　Long before the emergence of the written words, ballads and myths, passed around by word of mouth, were widely popular. Chinese literature finds its origins in these traditions. However, ballads were what people improvised out of daily life, and due to lack of means to record and preserve them in ancient times, they quickly disappeared without leaving much of a trace. Today, we can only deduce their existence from ancient books, which recorded some time-honored ballads, though most of these are believed to be derivatives of later generations. Ballads in the Book of Songs are the earliest writings that can be dated. From this point of view, ancient mythology obviously has had a great influence on Chinese literature.

　　中國成語是漢語中意義完整的表示一般概念的固定片語或短語。“成語”中的“成”既是約定俗成。成語是比詞大而語法功能又相當於詞的語言單位。絕大多數的中國成語由四個漢字組成，例如：自強不息、青出於藍、厚積薄發。成語主要從民間諺語、古代文學作品、詩歌、寓言、典故、名言警句等方面提煉而成，是漢語語言中精煉而又富有生命力的一部分。

　　Chinese Idioms Chinese idioms refer to comprehensive and integrated fixed phrases and expressions. Idioms are established and accepted by constant usage and common practice. An idiom is a language unit that is larger than a word, but has the same grammatical function as a word. Most Chinese idioms consist of four characters. For example, ziqiangbuxi *** make unremitting efforts to improve oneself***, qingchuyulan***bluer than indigo***, and houjibofa ***success comes with time and effort***. Idioms are extrated from folk proverbs, ancient works of literature, poems, fables, allusions, and well-known sayings. Idioms are a part of the Chinese language that are concise and have great vitality.
