This majestic metal-and-glass edifice（大建筑物） was not only home to the extravaganza （盛大表演）display of products from all over the world, but was also the iconic（标志） symbol of the world fair, being considered one of the most beautiful structures in the world until a fire destroyed it half a century ago. Now, the United Kingdom has brought to Expo visitors a new version of the Crystal Palace a dazzling cube（水晶宫） formed by more than 60,000 slim and transparent acrylic rods（亚克力杆） containing seeds of different plants.展馆特色第一届世博会在英国海德公园的水晶宫中举行，当时被称作“大展览”。水晶宫是一座由金属和玻璃建成的宏伟建筑，它不仅是世界上各式各样的展品齐聚一堂的场所，还是世博会的标志，在1936年被烧毁之前，一直被视为世界上最漂亮的建筑物之一。如今，英国又将一座新版的水晶宫呈现给参观者们-由6万根蕴含不同植物种子的透明亚克力杆组成的巨型“种子殿堂”。3) Every morning as the sky brightens over the Andaman Sea, workers here set out perfect lines of white plastic chairs along the soft ands, punctuated by furled umbrellas ready to be opened as the sun begins to burn.

The most common mode of instruction is the lecture. When lectures are the principal method of instruction in larger classes, regular periods may be set aside for small group discussions under the leadership of an assistant instructor. 由一位教授和二三十名学生每周会晤两三次，每次授课时间45分钟到50分钟，是大学程度课堂教学的传统方式。最普遍的教学方式是讲课。较大的班以讲课为主要教学方法时，也会拨出一定时间由助教领导进行小组讨论。（2）It was a fine day in early Spring. Bright sunshine flooded the street where a group of boys in Sunday clothes were playing ball. In most of the tenements the windows were up. Clean-shaven men in collarless shirts or in underwear, women with aprons（围裙） or sloppy pink wrappers leaned on the sills （窗台）and gazed with aimless interest at the street, the sky, those who were passing below.早春时节的一个晴天，大街上阳光灿烂。一群穿着假日衣服的孩子正在街上玩球。这时简易公寓的窗户大都打开了。刚刮过脸的男人穿着汗衫、内衣，女人系着围裙或者披着邋遢的粉红罩衫，他们都靠在窗口漫无目的地望着天空和街上的行人。（3）FUZHOU(Xinhua) -Three journalists from Hong Kong were expelled from the mainland on Sunday afternoon by public security officers of South Chinas Fjujian Province, for violating the State Security Law. (注：这是一篇新闻报道，翻译时，并不强调译文和原文的格式完全统一.)三名香港记者擅自闯入我军事演习区域进行非法采访活动，在福建省被当地公安机关扣留。(4) Over twenty-eight years ago, adias gave birth to a new idea in sports shoes. And the people who wear our shoes have been running and winning ever since. In fact, adidas has helped them set over 400 world records in track and field alone.28年前， 阿迪达斯为运动鞋带来了全新的概念。从那之后，脚穿阿迪达斯的人们健步如飞，频频夺标。事实上，阿迪达斯仅在田径场上就帮助人们创造了400多项世界记录。四、案例分析题（每小题10分，共10分）今天省经贸委、统计局等单位联合发布江苏百强企业名单。江苏省电力公司以870.54亿元摘取5连冠。译文一：Jiangsu Provincial Economy and Trade Commission and the Provincial Bureau of Statistics released on Thursday the latest rankings for the top 100 companies in the province.译文二: Jiangsu Power Company leads the list of 100 large enterprises in the province, according to the latest ranking of the top 100 companies released Thursday by the Jiangsu Provincial Economy and Trade Commission and the Provincial Bureau of Statistics.请用所学的翻译知识来分析以上两种译文。分析：译文一是根据中文新闻的句式顺序进行了几乎对应的翻译，而译文二则是打破原文的句法结构、先后顺序，对译文进行重组之后进行翻译。而根据英语新闻导语第一句话就单刀直入的文体特点，江苏电力公司实现五连冠应该是本新闻的第一重点，因此，导语的行为主体理应是江苏电力公司以及其他100强企业，而省经贸委、统计局等单位仅仅是这一排名的发布者，不应该放在突出的位置。庐山，位于江西省北部，北濒长江，东南临鄱阳湖。自然风光奇特秀丽。“匡庐奇秀甲天下山。”方圆302平方公里的风景区内，有16个大自然奇观，474个景点。171座山峰逶迤相连，峰峦叠嶂。译文1：Mount Lushan is located in the north of Jiangxi Province, with the Changjiang River flowing by just in the north and the Poyang Lake lying in the southeast. Known as the most beautiful mountain under heaven, its scenic area covers 302 square kilometers of land, including 16 natural wonders, 474 scenic spots and 171 peaks standing on rolling mountain ranges.译文2： Mount Lushan is located in the north of Jiangxi Province, with the Changjiang River flowing by just in the north and the Poyang Lake lying in the southeast. The scenic area covers 302 square kilometers, boasting 16 natural wonders, 474 scenic spots and 171 peaks standing on rolling mountain ranges. Famous for its marvelous landscapes, Mount Lushan is crowded as “the most beautiful mountain under heaven.”请用所学的翻译知识来分析以上两种译文。原文是一篇遗产解说的第一段，一共包括五句话。第一句介绍庐山的地理位置。第二句话赞美庐山的美丽景色。第三句话引用了一句俗话作为证明。最后两句话具体介绍了一些景物。这个段落的总体结构是从整体到部分，是一个比较典型的中文遗产解说的开篇方式。译文1由两个复杂的长句组成。段落的基本结构不变，但是省略了“自然风光奇特秀丽”一句。整个段落主要是列举客观事实，但是“known as the most beautiful mountain under heaven是对庐山的赞美之辞，在此显得比较突然，与上下文有点脱节。而译文2 放在了段落的最后，起到了画龙点睛的效果。1. 狮林大酒店信守“服务在岗位，满意在狮林”的服务宗旨，竭诚欢迎国内外宾客惠顾。本店员工训练有素、温文尔雅、热情好客。细致周到的服务，令您黄山之旅尽情尽兴。译文一：The hotel is committed to its motto: Customer is always right and perfect service is our goal. We warmly welcome guests and friends at home and abroad to come for a visit here. The hotel attendants and staff are all qualified for the jobs. They are responsible, hospitable and warmhearted. They are ready at all times to do their utmost to make your visit to Mountain Huangshan an enjoyable experience to your heart.译文二：Enjoy a warm welcome at Shilin Hotel, where your satisfaction is guaranteed. Enjoy the best service offered by our best-trained staff.请用所学的翻译知识来分析上面两种译文。分析：译文一过于受汉语影响。让顾客满意是服务行业的基本要求，“员工训练有素”是服务行业从业人员的必要条件，没必要炫耀，因此这些属于冗余信息，因此译文二采用祈使句的表达方式，更加简单。1.谋事在人，成事在天，咱们谋到了，靠菩萨的保佑，有些机会，也未可知。（红楼梦第六回）译文一: Man proposes, Heaven disposes. Work out a plan, trust to Buddha, and something may come of it for all you know. ” (Yang xianyi)译文二: “I wouldnt say that,” said Grannie Liu. “Man proposes, God disposes. Its up to us to think of something. We must leave it to the good Lord to decide whether Hell help us or not. Who knows, He might give us the opportunity we are looking for.” (Tr. David Hawkes)请运用所学的翻译知识分析以上两个翻译文本的不同点，并分析其原因。分析：两位译者都是大家，译文的遣词和达意都充分考虑了原文或译文的社会背景和宗教信仰。文中刘姥姥提到了菩萨,可见她信靠的神并不是西方人心中的god,如果译文不作形象上的改变,会造成文化上的冲突和矛盾。为了如实地传达原文反映的宗教文化,杨译将“天”直译成“heaven”。因此，将“谋事在人，成事在天”翻译成“Man proposes，Heaven disposes”是语义翻译，因为忠实地保留了原文的道教观念。如果翻译成“Man proposes，God disposes”则是交际翻译，因为译者为了适合西方读者的宗教背景和接受心理，把道教观念转化成了西方
