社会生活

1.中华人民共和国是全国各族人民共同缔造的统一的多民族国家。迄今为止，中国有56个民族。//与汉族相比，其他55个民族人口相对较少，因此他们在习惯上被称为“少数民族”。//1990年中国进行了第四次人口普查，据统计，在全国总人口中，汉族人口约占92%，少数民族人口占8%。//在长期的历史发展过程中，中华民族这个大家庭中的各族人民经过融合和迁移，形成了今天的颁布格局。//2000,10 p.163 The people’s republic of China is a united multi-national state founded jointly by the people of all nationalities.So far,there are 56 nationalities.//Compared with the Han nationality,China’s other 55 ethnic groups have a relatively small population,thus they are customarily referred to as ethnic minorities.//According to the fourth national census conducted in 1990,the Han nationality accounts for 92 percent of the country’s total population,and minority ethnic groups account for 8 percent.//During China’s long history of development,the people of various nationalities in China migrated and mingled,which eventually brought about today’s distribution.//

2.近年来，随着上海市民人均收入的逐年增加，消费结构发生了根本性的变化。//许多传统的消费热点正在悄悄降温，新的消费亮点已崭露头角，过去单一的节假日购物消费已向多元化消费转变。//从节假日休闲娱乐消费来看，同样也在悄然发生着变化。人们的假日休闲娱乐消费已突破了以往上舞厅、打保龄球等传统方式。//取而代之的是市民选择在图书馆静静地阅读，或举家到博物馆游览参观，市民休闲的文化气息正在不断增强。//2002,10,p228 With the increasing of its residents’ per capita income year by year,fundamental changes have taken place in the consumption structure in Shanghai.//Many traditional consumption hot spots are quietly losing their charms while new consumption forms have made the figure.People used to go shopping only during their holidays,but nowadays the consumption fashion has been diversified.//Changes also occurred stealthily in the field of recreational consumption.For their holiday recreational consumption,people are no longer satisfied with the traditional practices of going dancing or playing bowling.//Instead,people choose to go to libraries or go to museums with their family members.The culture-related recreational consumption is gradually gaining currency.//

3.A modern wife has now been given the choice of whether or not to stay at home and be a full-time housewife.//Thirty years agoa it was expected that when a girl married she automatically stopped working to become a full-time housewife and mother.//In the 1990s,society does not expect that of women.Women today have the freedom to continue with their careers and the freedom to choose whether or not to have children.//Some couples deliberately choose not to have children in favour of pursuing interesting and well-paid careers,while others choose to have children at a much better time.1998,10 一个现代妻子正面临着是否呆在家里，充当全职家庭主妇的选择。30年前，人们希望女孩一结婚就主动停止工作，成为全职家庭主妇和母亲。//在90年代，社会并不希望妇女这样做。如今妇女享有继续工作的自由，选择生育孩子的自由。//有些夫妻为从事有趣而又高薪的职业有意选择放弃生育，其他夫妻则选择晚些时候生育。//

4.Yound people do not show the same kind of concern towards their elderly parents as was evident before the Second Wold War.//Today,people are pursuing careers,social life and wealth,and do not want to be burdened by elderly parents.//Very often the only family contact is by telephone,and perhaps and occasional visit at birthday and Christmas time.//Elderly people are sometimes neglected by their families,and so they rely heavily on the good will of their friends and neighbours for company and support.//1998,10 现在的年轻人不象二战前的年轻人那样关心年迈父母。//今天，人们追求事业的成功，寻求生财之道，不想让年迈的父母成为自己的负担。//通常，全家人只通过电话保持联系，只有在生日聚会或圣诞节期间才有可能聚在一起。//老年人时常会被忽视，因此，他们在很大程度上依赖朋友和邻居的帮助，靠他们排忧解难。

5.城市的大龄未婚女青年大多数是所谓“才女”，即受过较高教育的女子。//“才女”择偶恐怕不是今天才开始的。题诗求对以招婿的故事也是不是纯粹的文学虚构。//在旧时代，有些女子才气与心性比一般女子高，因而不满于“父母之命，媒酌之言”的婚配形式。//但这毕竟是凤毛麟角，大多数女子摆脱不了“嫁鸡随鸡，嫁狗随狗”的命运。// Those elder unmarried girls in cities are mostly the so-called “gifted girls”,referring to those females who have been more highly educated.//It is not a t all a newly-started thing for gifted young girls to choose their own ideal spouses.It is by no means a pure literary fiction for gifted girls to choose theire spouses by way of the inscripton of a poem and the matching of an antithetical couplet.//It was true that in old times,some gifted young girls had a higher literary talent and nobler mind than the average young girls,and therefore they were diatisfied with the marriage pattern in which a girl was supposed to obey here parents’ order and follow the advice of the matchmakers.//But this was after all the rarity of raritiesMost of them couldn’t free themselves from their destiny in marriage.That is,they had to marry the men chosen by their parents and match makers.//
