  【翻譯原文】

  作為中國傳統的民間藝術,吹糖人***Sugar Figure Blowing Art***歷史悠久,然而 隨著中國經濟的發展,這一藝術正漸漸消失。據說這一民間藝術始於宋朝,當時被稱為戲劇糖果***operacandy***。吹糖人以糖作為基本材料,糖人藝人用自己的方法熬 ft,然g吹或各種人物。藝人先把糖加熱到適當的溫度,然後拉一些糖稀***syrup***捏成一團,再用各種技巧做出不同的形狀,並塗上鮮豔的顏色。這種藝術是手、眼、心、 呼吸和一定溫度所需時間控制的真正結合。一項技術不過關,整個過程都會失敗。

  【翻譯原文】

  每種文化都有自己的行為準則,中國也不例外。在中國,跟別人打招呼時,你或者點個頭,或者微微鞠個躬。握手也很常見,但你要等到中國朋友先伸手才可以。另外,與西方社會的做法截然相反,中國人不太喜歡被陌生人觸碰。所以不 要輕易地觸碰別人,除非你完全有這樣的必要。最後一點,根據儒家思想 ***Confiicianism***的觀點,老人在任何情況下都應該受到年輕人的尊敬。你應該總是以老人為先,並對他們表本最大的敬意。

  【參考譯文】

  Every culture has its rules on how to act,and China is no different. In China,to greet someone, you nod your head,or you bow slightly. Handshakes are also common, but you should wait for your Chinese partner to initiate the motion. In addition,as opposed to those found in Western society,Chinese people do not enjoy being touched by strangers. Don’t touch someone unless you absolutely have to.Finally, from the perspective of Confucianism, the elders are to be respected in every situation by those who are younger. You should always acknowledge the elders first,and show the most respect to them.

  講解:

  1.行為準則:有多種譯法,如rules on how to act, rules of conduct或standard of behavior。

  3.打招呼:即greet。

  4.截然相反:可譯為as opposed to。

  【翻譯原文】

  同一種動物在東西方不同的文化背景下所表達的含義不盡相同。在西方人眼裡,蝙蝠就是一個邪惡、醜陋的吸血鬼***bloodsucker***。但是在我國南方,舊式住 宅的門上常常雕刻著蝙蝠,因為蝙蝠是好運、健康、財富、幸福的象徵。西方人認 為孔雀走起路來總是趾高氣揚,目中無人,頭冠***crown***頻頻擺動,還不時開屏炫耀其美麗,這是“驕傲”、“虛榮”的表現。而中國人認為孔雀開屏是喜慶吉祥的象徵,所以人們常用孔雀比喻美麗的人或事物。

  【參考譯文】

  The same animal in different culture backgrounds between the East and the West respectively expresses different meanings. To the West, bats are evil, ugly bloodsucker; but in southern China, bats are often carved on the doors of the old houses, because they are symbols of fortune, health, wealth and happiness. Westerners generally believe that the peacock always walks around with her nose in the air, swinging its crown repeatedly, and shows off its beautiful tail frequently.These are signs of pride and vanity. In contrast,Chinese think it symbolizes joy and luck that the peacock spreads its tail. So people often compare the peacock to beautiful persons or things.

  解析:1.東西方不同的文化背景:可譯為different culture backgrounds between the East and the West。

  2.上雕刻著:可譯為被動形式be carved on…

  3.走起路來總是趾高氣揚,目中無人:可簡譯為always walks around with her nose in the air。with one's nose in the air即有“目中無人地”意思。

  4.孔雀開屏:可譯為 the peacock spreads its tail。

  5.用...比喻:可譯為compare…to…
