16、e is like a glass of wine; people who enjoy it will taste endless wonders from it. When we hold it in hand and observe it closely, its dark red color will easily remind us of blood, which is the very sign of life. When we take a sip of it and appreciate the taste, we will find the bittersweet flavor
17、 also resembles life, which is complicated and blurred. When we swallow the sip, its lingering fragrance will gladden our heart and refresh our mind, leaving us lifelong benefit.

18、enriched. When life comes to twilight years, it looks peaceful and tastes full of wisdom and generosity, just like a bottle of good wine to be uncorked.)解析：解析 1品出：可译为taste或savor，也可以译为find。 2无穷无尽的：endless和inexhaustible都有“无穷无尽的”之意。 3仔细观察：可译为observe closely或watch carefully。 4有血的感觉：由于本句是以颜色作主语，这里的“有的感觉”
19、不宜译为have a feeling of.，可以理解为“使想起”，即remind sb. of sth. 。 5抿一口：固定译为take a sip of.。 6回味：可以理解为“享受”，即享受这种味道(appreciate the taste)。 7它的甘甜中有一丝苦涩：可以简单地理解为“又苦又甜的”，英语中bittersweet就表达此含义。 8余香：就是“挥之不去的香”，即lingering fragrance。若译成remaining sweetness不是很准确。 9沁人心脾：有固定的译法，即gladden the heart and refresh the mind。 10让人终
20、身受益：可以理解为“留给某人终身的益处(或一生的好处)”，即leave sb. lifelong benefit。 11晚年：比较雅致的一个译法是twilight years。 12色彩是沉静的：可以理解为“看上去是沉静的、平静的”，即look peaceful。 13味道中充满着慷慨与智慧：“充满”可以用full of表示，full of短语作系动词taste的表语。 14一瓶待开封的好酒：红酒一般是用软木塞封口的，“软木塞”的说法是cork，“拔掉塞子”就是uncork。因此“待开封的”即可译为to be uncorked。2.泊珍到偏远小镇的育幼院把生在那里养到1岁的孩子接回来。但泊珍看

22、 her eyebrows, depression suffused her chest, and a stream of sorrow was about to rush out of her stomach through the throat.

23、ldren stayed. There was only one window in the room, and the shadows of the trees were whirling out of the window. Leave the child here, she told herself. This is the best place for the child to stay, because there are kind priests and nuns here and it would be developed into a medical care center.
24、The child was her secret and she would stash this secret into the building hidden in the forests.)解析：解析 1痛苦纠聚心中，眉心发烫发热。胸口郁闷难展，胃里一股气冲喉而上：这是个排比句式，形容主人公的感受，可以译成几个“主语+谓语+状语”结构的简单句。 2纠聚：“纠聚”其实就是“聚集”，可译为gather。 3眉心发烫发热：“眉心”不可译为heart of eyebrow，它指的是双眉之间，应译为between the eyebrows。“眉心发烫发热”可以理解为“火在眉心燃烧”，即fire b
25、urnt between her eyebrows。 4胸口郁闷难展：该句可以理解为“胸口满是压抑”，即depression suffused her chest。 5一股气：可转译为a stream of sorrow。 6发育迟缓：可译为developmental retardation。 7心头无绪：可以理解为“心里茫然不知所措”，故可翻译为be at a loss what to do。 8来回踱步：“来回踱步”就是走来走去，可译为pace up and down，也可译为pace to and fro。to and fro意为“来回地”。 9树影婆娑：“婆娑”可译为whirling，
26、因此“树影婆娑”就是the shadows of the trees were whirling，也可以说the shadows of the trees were dancing。 10善心的：可译为kind，还可以译为benevolent。 11她将秘密留在：这里的“留在”实际上表示“藏在”，可以译为keep.in.，若译为stash.into.更好。 12树林掩映：“掩映”可以用hide表示，这里可以用过去分词短语hidden in the forests作后置定语修饰building。3.现代社会无论价值观的持有还是生活方式的选择都充满了矛盾。而最让现代人感到尴尬的是，面对重重矛盾，许
27、多时候你却别无选择。U匆忙与休闲是截然不同的两种生活方式。但在现实生活中，人们却在这两种生活方式间频繁穿梭，有时也说不清自己到底是“休闲着”还是“匆忙着”。譬如说，当我们正在旅游胜地享受假期，却忽然接到老板的电话，告诉我们客户或工作方面出了麻烦现代便捷先进工具在此刻显示出了它狰狞、阴郁的面容搞得人一下子兴趣全无，接下来的休闲只能徒有其表，因为心里已是火烧火燎了。/U（分数：20.00）_正确答案：(Being hasty and at leisure are two distinct lifestyles.

28、ently shuttle between these two lifestyles, sometimes not sure whether they are at ease or in a rash.

29、xposed as an evil and dismal device more than a modem and advanced tool. The subsequent leisure is the mere showy as such a call has shadowed our leisure tour and made us restless with anxiety.)解析：解析 1截然不同的：distinct，也可以用quite different代替。 2在这两种生活方式间频繁穿梭：其中“在间穿梭”可以译为shuttle between.。 3“休闲着”还是“匆忙着”：在汉
30、译英时要注意在用词上避免出现重复。此句中“休闲着”译为at ease，“匆忙着”译为in a rush，与上一句的at leisure和being hasty有所不同。 4譬如说，因为心里已是火烧火燎了：这一句比较长，在翻译时可以断开，译为三个分句。第一分句可以断在第一个破折号前面，第二分句为两个破折号中间的插入部分，第三个分句为剩下的部分。第三分句与原文在句序上有所不同，属于先果后因。 5狰狞、阴郁的面容：可以不把“面容”译出来，而只是用evil and dismal修饰device。原句也可以翻译为：At this moment the modern, convenient and adv
31、anced device shows its vicious and gloomy features. 6火烧火燎：这个成语在翻译的时候要取它的引申义，而不能按照字面意思翻译。它是形容人的心情很焦虑，坐立不安，可译为restless with anxiety。三、BSECTION B ENGLI(总题数：3，分数：50.00)4.The UN General Assembly, the central political forum, is composed of 193 members, including virtually all the worlds nation-states.

35、中国家，这些国家的人口大约占世界人口的四分之三。 达成决议相当困难，主要是因为按照传统，大会的协议必须经过协商一致方可达成。结果，重要的协议总是被狭隘的特殊利益所挟持，并且大部分协议都是通过把这些特殊利益干扰的平均水平降到最低才达成的。但真正的问题在于世界上的主要国家是否允许民主在最高层面上发挥作用。 联合国安全理事会对和平与安全负责，处理一些最重要的政治问题。安理会只有15个成员国，所以能经常磋商并且处理危机。由于冷战时期的对抗，安理会的作用曾经非常微弱，如今，它已经在很大程度上重新获得了联合国宪章所赋予它的权威。)解析：解析 1The UN General Assembly：联合国大会。
36、2virtually：常意为“事实上，实际上”，此处意为“几乎”。 3by consensus：意为“经协商一致”。 4be held hostage by：直译为“被所挟持”，也可意译为“被阻碍”。 5narrow special interests：narrow宜译为“狭隘的”，而非“狭窄的”；interest在该句中表示“利益”。 6common denominators：denominator本意为“分母”，common denominators为“(若干个分数的)公分母”，在此引申为“平均水平”。 7at the highest level：level有“水平”、“等级”之意，但在本
37、句中宜译为“层面”，国家间的民主应该是最高层面的民主。 8The Security Council：联合国安全理事会。 9Cold War rivalries：意为“冷战时期的对抗”。 10impotent：本意为“无能的，无效的”，此处可译为“作用微弱的”，或者“形同虚设的”。 11accorded by the UN charter：意为“由联合国宪章所赋予的权威”。accord在此处意为“给予，授予”。5.In some cases, intelligent people implementing intelligent policies are responsible for prod
