1、英语翻译基础历年真题试卷汇编 108 及答案与解析汉译英1 每年农历七月初七的七夕节，简称七夕，俗称乞巧节，又称少女节或女儿节，是中国传统节日中最具烂漫色彩的一个节日。传说每年的七月初七是牛郎、织女相会的日子。在这一天，人间的喜鹊要飞到天上去，为牛郎和织女搭一座鹊桥，好让二人渡过天河相见。在这一天的晚上，如果静静地躲在葡萄架下，就能听到牛郎、织女说的悄悄话。因为织女是一个美丽聪明、心灵手巧的仙女，所以凡间的女子便在这一天的晚上与女伴相约，在庭院或花园里朝天河(即银河) 中的牛、女二星焚香祭拜，默默祈祷自己的心愿，向织女乞求智慧，好让自己也变得心灵手巧。少女们希望自己长得美丽可人，嫁个如意郎君；
2、少妇们希望早生贵子，得到丈夫、公婆的宠爱。于是，便出现了七夕乞巧等各种风俗。在汉语中，“七 ”与“期”同音，含有期待的意思。牵牛、织女二星在每年的七月同时出现于天空，古代称为“ 星期 ”。在“星期”的背后，隐藏着人们对一切美好意愿的祝福与祈求。因此，七夕的“ 星期 ”便成为相爱之人会面的美好日子。 (413 words)2 市长王安顺高度重视 APEC 周的天气和空气质量。他要求气象、环保等部门加强应急联动，切实做好天气预报预警和应急工作，一旦预测到空气污染，要及时采取建议性甚至强制性减排措施，及时向全社会发布预报和预警，引导企事业单位自觉治污减排，动员全社会共同参与应对空气污染。在 APEC
