2017年翻譯資格考試catti高級(jí)口譯模擬試題（8）

　　【中譯英】

　　民族的傳統(tǒng)文化博大精深，源遠(yuǎn)流長(zhǎng)。早在2000多年前，就產(chǎn)生了以孔孟為代表的儒家學(xué)說(shuō)和以老莊為代表的道家學(xué)說(shuō)，以及其他許多也在中國(guó)思想史上有地位的學(xué)說(shuō)和學(xué)派。這就是有名的諸子百家。

　　從孔夫子到孫中山，民族的傳統(tǒng)文化有它的許多珍品，許多人民性和民主性的好東西。比如，強(qiáng)調(diào)仁愛(ài)、強(qiáng)調(diào)群體、強(qiáng)調(diào)天下為公，特別是“天下興亡，匹夫有責(zé)”的愛(ài)國(guó)情操和吃苦耐勞、勤儉持家、尊師重教的傳統(tǒng)美德。所有這些，對(duì)家庭、對(duì)國(guó)家和社會(huì)都起到了巨大的維系和調(diào)節(jié)作用。

　　【參考譯文】

　　The traditional Chinese culture, both extensive and profound, starts far back and runs a long, long course. More than 2,000 years ago there emerged in China Confucianism represented by Confucius and Mencius, Taoism, represented by Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, and many other theories and doctrines that figured prominently in the history of Chinese thought, all being covered by the famous term, "the masters' hundred schools."

　　From Confucius to Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the traditional Chinese culture presents many precious ideas and qualities, which are essentially populist and democratic. For example, they lay stress on the importance of kindness and love in human relations, on the interest of the community, and on the idea that the world is for all, especially on patriotism as embodied in the saying, "everybody is responsible for the rise or fall of the country;" and long suffering and hard working diligence and frugality in household management, and respecting teachers and valuing education. All these have played a great role in binding and regulating the family, the country and the society.
