英译汉：

1.First of all let us take the Chinese language.As the Chinese live a life of the heart, the Chinese language, I say, is also a language of the heart.Now it is a well-known fact that children and uneducated persons among foreigners in China learn Chinese very easily, much more so than grown-up and educated persons.What is the reason of this? The reason, I say, is because children and uneducated persons think and speak with the language of the heart, whereas educated men, especially men with the modern intellectual education of Europe, think and speak with the language of the head or intellect.In fact, the reason why educated foreigners find it so difficult to learn Chinese, is because they are too educated, too intellectually and scientifically educated.As it is said of the Kingdom of Heaven, so it may also be said of the Chinese language:_“Unle you become as little children, you cannot learn it.” Next let us take another well-known fact in the life of the Chinese people.The Chinese, it is well-known, have wonderful memories.What is the secret of this? The secret is: the Chinese remember things with the heart and not with the head.The heart with its power of sympathy, acting as glue, can retain things much better than the head or intellect which is hard and dry.It is, for instance, also for this reason that we;all of us, can remember things which we learnt when we were children much better than we can remember things which we learnt in mature life.As children, like the Chinese, we remember things with the heart and not with the head.Let us next take another generally admitted fact in the life of the Chinese people_their politene.The Chinese are, it has often been remarked, a peculiarly polite people.Now what is the eence of true politene? It is consideration for the feelings of others.The Chinese are polite because, living a life of the heart, they know their own feelings and that makes it easy for them to show consideration for the feelings of others.The politene of the Chinese, although not elaborate like the politene of the Japanese, is pleasing because it is, as the French beautifully expre

their civilisation and that the Chinese civilisation is a stagnant one.Neverthele, it must be admitted that, as far as pure intellectual life goes, the Chinese are, to a certain extent, a people of arrested development.The Chinese, as you all know, have made little or no progre not only in the physical, but also in the pure abstract sciences such as mathematics, logic and metaphysics.Indeed the very words “science” and “logic” in the European languages have no exact equivalent in the Chinese language.The Chinese, like children who live a life of the heart, have no taste for the abstract sciences, because in these the heart and feelings are not engaged.In fact, for everything which does not engage the heart and feelings, such as tables of statistics, the Chinese have a dislike amounting to aversion.But if tables of statistics and the pure abstract sciences fill the Chinese with aversion, the physical sciences as they are now pursued in Europe, which require you to cut up and mutilate the body of a living animal in order to verify a scientific theory, would inspire the Chinese with repugnance and horror.Key: 首先，我们来谈谈中国的语言。中国的语言也是一种心灵的语言。一个很明显的事实就是∶那些生活在中国的外国人，其儿童和未受教育者学习中文比成年人和受过 教育者要容易得多。原因在于儿童和未受教育者是用心灵来思考和使用语言。相反，受过教育者，特别是受过理性教育的现代欧洲人，他们是用大脑和智慧来思考和 使用语言的。有一种关于极乐世界的说法也同样用于对中国语言的学习∶除非你变成一个孩子，否则你就难以学会它。

其次，我们再指出一个众所周知的中国人日常生活中的事实。中国人具有惊人的记忆力，其秘密何在？就在于中国人是用心而非脑去记忆。用具同情力量的心灵记 事，比用头脑或智力要好得多，后者是枯燥乏味的。举例来说，我们当中的绝大多数儿童时代的记忆力要强过成年后的记忆力。因为儿童就象中国人一样，是用心而 非用脑去记忆。

接下来的例子，依旧是体现在中国人日常生活中，并得到大家承认的一个事实——中国人的礼貌。中国一向被视为礼仪之邦，那厶其礼貌的本质是什厶呢？这就是体 谅、照顾他人的感情。中国人有礼貌是因为他们过著一种心灵的生活。他们完全了解自己的这份情感，很容易将心比心推己及人，显示出体谅、照顾他人情感的特 徵。中国人的礼貌虽然不象日本人的那样繁杂，但它是令人愉快的。相反，日本人的礼貌则是繁杂而令人不快的。我已经听到了一些外国人的抱怨。折衷礼貌或许应 该被称为排练式的礼貌——如剧院排戏一样，需要死记硬背。它不是发自内心、出于自然的礼貌。事实上，日本人的礼貌是一朵没有芳香的花，而真正的中国人的礼 貌则是发自内心、充满了一种类似于名贵香水般奇异的芳香。

我们举的中国人特性的最后一例，是其缺乏精确的习惯。这是由亚瑟·史密斯提出并使之得以扬名的一个观点。那厶中国人缺少精确性的原因又何在呢？我说依然是 因为他们过著一种心灵的生活。心灵是纤细而敏感的，它不象头脑或智慧那样僵硬、刻板。实际上，中国人的毛笔或许可以视为中国人精神的象征。用毛笔书写绘画 非常困难，好像也难以准确，但是一旦掌握了它，你就能够得心应手，创造出美妙优雅的书画来，而用西方坚硬的钢笔是无法获得这种效果的。

正是因为中国人过著一种心灵的生活，一种像孩子的生活，所以使得他们在许多方面还显得有些幼稚。这是一个很明显的事实，即作为一个有著那厶悠久历史的伟大 民族，中国人竟然在许多方面至今仍表现得那样幼稚。这使得一些浅薄的留学中国的外国留学生认为中国人未能使文明得到发展，中国文明是一个停滞的文明。必须 承认，就中国人的智力发展而言，在一定程度上被人为地限制了。众所周知，在有些领域中国人只取得很少甚至根本没有什厶进步。这不仅有自然科学方面的，也有 纯粹抽象科学方面的，诸如科学、逻辑学。实际上欧洲语言“科学”与“逻辑”二词，是无法在中文中找到完全对等的词加以表达的。

象儿童一样过著心灵生活的中国人，对抽象的科学没有丝毫兴趣，因为在这方面心灵和情感无计可施。事实上，每一件无需心灵与情感参与的事，诸如统计表一类的 工作，都会引起中国人的反感。如果说统计图表和抽象科学只引起了中国人的反感，那厶欧洲人现在所从事的所谓科学研究，那种为了证明一种科学理论而不惜去摧 残肢解生体的所谓科学，则使中国人感到恐惧并遭到了他们的抑制。

实际上，我在这里要指出的是∶中国人最美妙的特质并非他们过著一种心灵的生活。所有处于初级阶段的民族都过著一种心灵的生活。正如我们都知道的一样，欧洲 中世纪的基督教徒们也同样过著一种心灵的生活。马太·阿诺德就说过―中世纪的基督教世人就是靠心灵和想象来生活的。‖中国人最优秀的特质是当他们过著心灵 的生活，象孩子一样生活时，却具有为中世纪基督教徒或其他任何处于初级阶段的民族所没有的思想与理性的力量。换句

汉译英： 1.工作面面观

1).一项最新研究显示，弹性工作制对于保持员工心情愉快、高效工作以及对公司的忠诚度至关重要。“工作弹性”指的是员工能够灵活安排自己的工作地点、工作时间及工作量。工作灵活度的减少导致了员工工作投入度的降低，但对于出勤没有太大影响。研究人员建议，为员工提供各种灵活的工作安排，让经理和主管们多为员工的个人生活着想，这将有利于打造‘灵活的’的企业文化。

2).调查发现，与女性管理者相比，男性更关注工作本身，他们更专注于搞好工作而不是忙于处理各种关系。在男性看来，他们唯一的游戏规则就是最终的利润。他们的人生动力和喜好似乎都与收益、预算和利润有关。无论在家还是工作，他们都在为赚钱而奋斗。此外，男性更关注工作本身，更专心于搞好工作而不是忙着处理各种复杂的人际关系。他们更能适应层级、头衔差别和升迁的过程。”

3).一项最新民调显示，对于大多数美国人来说，拥有充足的空闲时间比拥有财富更为重要。然而，人们对于财富的重视程度随着年龄的增长而逐渐降低，年轻人更看重财富，而老年人对此则不怎么在意。当现实让你认识到，你不可能成为有钱人时，你对财富的渴望也就随着时间慢慢淡化了。但现实还会告诉你，生活舒适而充实不一定要很富有。

4.沉湎因特网

沉醉于因特网而难以自拔的人已不再局限于少数计算机迷了。对因特网痴迷的人越来越多，妇女最可能成为对因特网着迷的人。最近的一项调查显示，在1721名因特网用户中，有近6％的用户程度不同地痴迷于上网。这些网迷承认，他们上网成癖导致了婚姻破裂、使孩子误人歧途、滋生犯罪而且经济上入不敷出。

5.早先的电脑迷是年轻男性，他们把时间花在玩游戏、下载软件或阅读新闻组信息；新的景象是年轻女性成了电脑迷--她们不惜耗费很多时间给朋友发电子邮件、上网选购书籍或音乐光盘、在聊天室与网友聊天，以及查找来年外出度假的有关信息。

汉译英： 1．Aspects of Job Job flexibility is the key to keeping workers happy, productive and loyal to the company, a new study shows.Workplace flexibility refers to the ability of employees to modify where, when and how long work their work is performed.Offering a variety of alternative work arrangements and training managers and supervisors to be supportive of workers' personal lives may help in creating a culture of flexibility, researchers added.2．But men came out on top when it came to command and control of management operations and focusing on financial returns.the survey found that men were more task focused and concentrated on getting the job done rather than dealing with relationships.Men believe that that bottom line dollars are the only game in town.Their key motives and preferences in life appear to be around revenue, budgets and profit.At work and at home, they are driven by financial opportunities, Men are task focused and concentrate on getting the job done without bothering too much with relationships.They are more comfortable with hierarchies, title silos and procees.3.Having enough free time is more important to most Americans than being rich, according to a new poll.the emphasis on wealth leens with age, with younger people putting value on it but hardly any seniors.It just diminishes with time as the reality sets in that you would never be rich.But also, the reality sets in that you don't have to be rich to lead a very comfortable and fulfilling life.4 Caught in the Web of the Internet

Getting hooked on the Internet isn't confined to a few computer nerds.It's on the rise everywhere--and women are the most likely addicts.A recent survey of 17,251 Internet users found nearly 6 per cent had some sort of addiction to the medium.They revealed that their online habit contributed to disrupted marriages, childhood delinquency, crime and over-spending.The study, backed by further research in Britain, found that women were more likely to become addicts.So while the old stereotypical addict was a young man who spent hours playing games, downloading software or reading meages on newsgroups, the new image is of a young woman who fritters away hours e-mailing friends, buying books and CDs online, talking in chatrooms and looking for information for next year's holiday.5.Custom has not commonly been regarded as a subject of any great moment.The inner workings of our own brains we feel to be uniquely worthy of investigation, but custom, we have a way of thinking, is behaviour at is most commonplace.As a matter of fact, it is the other way around.Traditional custom, taken the world over, is a ma of detailed behaviour more astonishing than what any one person can ever evolve in individual actions, no matter how aberrant.Yet that is a rather trivial aspect of the matter.The fact of first-rate importance is the predominant role that custom plays in experience and in belief, and the very great varieties it may manifest.No man ever looks at the world with pristine eyes.风俗一般未被认为是什么重要的课题。我们觉得，只有我们大脑内部的活动情况才值得研究，至于风俗呢，只是些司空见惯的行为而已。事实上，情况正好相反。从世界范围来看，传统风俗是由许多细节性的习惯行为组成，它比任何一个养成的行为都更加引人注目，不管个人行为多么异常。这只是问题的一个次要的侧面。最重要的是，风俗在实践中和信仰上所起的举足轻重的作用，以及它所表现出来的极其丰富多采的形式。没有一个人是用纯洁而无偏见的眼光看待世界。
