① 中国新年 (2010.12)
　　Chinese New Year is the most important traditional Chinese holiday. In China, it 


is also known as the Spring Festival.  New Year celebrations run from Chinese New 


Year’s Eve, the last day of the last month of the lunar calendar(农历), to the 


Lantern Festival of the 15th day of the first month. Customs and traditions 


concerning the celebration of the Chinese New Year vary widely from place to 


place. However, New Year’s Eve is usually an occasion for Chinese families to 


gather for the annual reunion dinner. It is also traditional for every family to 


thoroughly clean the house in order to sweep away ill fortune and to bring in good 


luck. And doors will be decorated with red couplets（对联） with themes of health, 


wealth and good luck. Other activities include lighting firecrackers, giving money in 


red envelopes（信封）, and visiting relatives and friends.
②元宵节 （2011.6）
    Yuanxiao Jie, also called the Lantern Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival, 


which is celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar month. The festival marks the 


end of the celebrations of the Chinese New Year. According to the Chinese folk 


tradition, people go on streets with a variety of(各种各样的) lanterns under the full 


moon on the night of the festival to celebrate it. Chinese people’s activities on this 


day also include enjoying the moon, setting off the fireworks, guessing lantern 


riddles, and eating Yuanxiao. Yuanxiao (or Tangyuan) is the special food for the 


Lantern Festival, which tastes sweet and sticky, and is round in shape, symbolizing 


family unity, completeness and happiness.
③中国建筑 （2011.12）
    During its long evolution process, Chinese architecture gradually developed a 


style which featured timberwork combing stone carving, rammed earth 


construction and other many techniques. Generally speaking, traditional Chinese 


architectural style can be classified into several categories(种类): royal palaces, 


residential houses, religious temples and pagodas(塔), mausoleums(陵墓) and 


tombs, and garden architecture. However, the architectural styles of different 


regions and nationalities in China may vary in characteristics and functions. 


Traveling all the way from the Northern China to the South, from the Yellow River 


down to the Yangtze River, you will be moved by the works of Chinese architect. 


Industrious Chinese laboring people created many miracles such as the Great Wall, 


the Forbidden City.
④汉语 （2012.6）
    Chinese is a language used by people of all the nationalities in China, and it is 


also among the world’s most highly developed language with the longest history, 


a recorded history of at least 6000 years. Whether in the past or at present, the 


Chinese language has had great influence both at home and abroad and occupied 


a prominent position. The current global Chinese fever is attributed to the long 


history of the Chinese nation, its glorious and magnificent culture and its 


tremendous contribution to human progress; more importantly, as China’s overall 


strength has grown in the course of reform and opening-up over the past three 


decades, more and more countries, international organizations and people come 


into contact with China and take interest in Chinese culture. For them, learning the 


Chinese language has become the only way to a profound understanding of China.
⑤中秋节（2012.12）
    The Mid-Autumn Festival, which is celebrated on August 15th day of the lunar 


calendar, is a traditional Chinese festival. It is a day for family members to reunite 


and enjoy the full moon together, which symbolizes abundance, harmony and luck. 


Adults would eat delicious mooncakes and sip a good cup of steaming hot Chinese 


tea, while children play with their rabbit lanterns nearby. The Mid-Autumn Festival 


probably began as a harvest-celebrating festival. It was later given(赋予) a 


mythological(神话的) flavor(风味，香料) with legend of Chang-E, the beautiful fairy 


lady in the moon. In China, the customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival in different 


places may vary, but various forms of celebration all embody people’s infinite love 


for life and visions of the beautiful future.
⑥中国灯笼（2012.12）
   Chinese lantern has originated from the Western Han Dynasty. Around the yearly 


Lantern Festival, people hang red lanterns up, which symbolize reunion to create a 


festive(adj.节日的) atmosphere. Lanterns later become a joyous symbol for Chinese. 


Chinese lantern synthesizes(综合) techniques of painting art, paper cutting, paper 


bundling and prickseaming(刺缝). Palace lantern and gauze(纱布) lantern are the 


most famous among the lanterns made in ancient China. Nowadays, lanterns still 


play an important role in home decoration, but the material of some lanterns have 


changed from paper and bamboo to cloth, plastic and iron wire, and their shape 


and color have been quite different from traditional ones.
⑦茶（2012.12）
    In China, tea has a very long history and has formed the Chinese tea culture. 


Meanwhile, tea is beneficial to(有益于) our health, thus it is loved by many people. 


Chinese tea culture is both extensive and profound(博大精深), which not only 


contains the level of material culture, but also includes a deep level of spiritual 


civilization. Referring to(谈到) Chinese tea, we can trace it back to(追溯) ancient 


times, which flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Since then, the spirit of tea 


has penetrated into(渗入) the court and society, going deep into(深入) the Chinese 


poetry, painting, calligraphy, religion and medicine. For thousands of years, China 


has accumulated a great deal of(大量) material culture in tea cultivation and 


production, moreover, enriching the spiritual culture of tea.
⑧重阳节（2013.6）
    The ninth day of the ninth lunar month is the Chong Yang Festival, a traditional 


festival in China. The celebrating activities are various and romantic, including 


climbing mountains, appreciating chrysanthemums(菊花), wearing dogwoods(茱萸), 


eating the Chong Yang cakes and so on. “Nine” has the same pronunciation as 


the Chinese character “jiu” which indicates “long”, and is the biggest single 


digit(数字), therefore it indicates longevity(n.长寿). There have been lots of poems 


and works celebrating the Chong Yang Festival and praising chrysanthemums since 


ancient times. People also believe that climbing mountains can expel bad luck, and 


indicates “ climbing to a higher position” and “longevity”. China designates(指


定，把...命名为) the ninth day of the ninth lunar month as Seniors’ Day, which 


combines tradition with modern times subtly to turn it into a festival for respecting, 


caring about, loving and helping the elderly people.
⑨中国书法（2013.6）
    Chinese calligraphy is the essence(精髓) of the Chinese culture, which has 


developed into a special high-level art apart from(除了) meeting the needs of daily 


writing. It has been flourishing for thousands of years in China. Shops with strong 


commercial atmosphere will gain some elegance(高雅) if they are decorated with 


some quaint(古雅的) cultural calligraphic works. Sitting rooms, studies rooms and 


bedrooms can also be decorated with calligraphic works. The Chinese characters 


are written on Xuan paper which absorbs ink well and then are mounted(装裱) to 


hang on the wall. The calligraphic works are mostly a poem or a motto(格言) that 


the host of the room likes very much; if it is written by the host himself, it will 


demonstrate more his aspiration and interest(志趣) as well as his talent.
⑩端午节（2013.6）
    The Duanwu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is an ancient 


traditional festival in China, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar calendar 


month. For thousands of years, various celebrations are held all over the country. 


Eating zongzi and racing the dragon boats are the most pertinent(切题的) ones, 


which are said to(据说) be in memory of(纪念commemorate) Qu Yuan, a great 


ancient poet. In some places, people spread realgar wine(雄黄酒) on the children in 


the hope of protecting them from the evil spirits(邪灵). Many people consider May 


as an especially dangerous time for diseases in a year, and therefore they hang 


moxa and calamus(艾叶和菖蒲) and things like that(等) around the doors in order to 


ward off(避开) evil and diseases and pray for good luck.
预测①（腊八节）
     The Laba Festival is celebrated on the 8th day of the last lunar month, meaning 


the start of the celebrations of the traditional Chinese New Year. Since ancient 


times it has been a festival of  offering sacrifices to the ancestors and gods and 


praying for the harvest and good luck. Customs on this day differ from place to 


place within the country, but having Laba porridge(粥) is the general one. The 


ingredients(原料) of Laba porridge vary due to the different local produces, but 


mostly there are eight--sometimes even more--ingredients mixed in it. After the 


porridge is cooked, it should first be used to worship the gods and ancestors,then 


be sent to relatives and friends for thanks, and finally be eaten by the family 


members. It is even spread(涂) on the fruit trees to pray for harvest in some places. 


Besides, people also have the customs of pickling(泡) the garlic, making Laba 


noodles and so on. 
预测②（长城）
    The Great Wall is the treasure of the Chinese civilization. It is an ancient 


defensive project which took the longest building time and largest project load in 


the world. The Great Wall that we refer to today is mainly the one built in Ming 


Dynasty, about 8851.8 kilometers in length. It embodies the perseverance and great 


wisdom of ancient Chinese people, reflects the outstanding achievement of our 


ancient project engineering and shows the profound history of Chinese nation. It 


was listed as the world cultural heritage in December 1987. The people of all times 


and all countries who have visited the Great Wall marvel at(惊叹于) its magnificence, 


grand scale and difficult engineering. The Great Wall is the pride of the Chinese 


people as well as the people all over the world.
预测③（七夕节）
　　In China, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the Qixi Festival, also 


known as the Eastern Valentine’s Day(东方情人节), which is the most romantic one 


among Chinese traditional festivals. The Qixi Festival has already had a history of 


three or four thousand years. It first originated from people’s worship to the 


nature, and later it was endowed with(被赋予) a beautiful legend about “Niulang 


and Zhinv dating(约会) on the bridge of magpies”. There are various customs on 


the Qixi Festival, among which the most typical one is worshiping the Vega(织女星) 


to pray for a pair of nimble(灵巧的) hands and a better craftsmanship(技术) as Zhinv 


in the legend. Each custom embodies people’s pursuit of and yearning for(向往) 


the ideal love and happy life.

了巨大的贡献。
　　如今，中医和西医(western medicine)在中国的医疗保健领域并驾齐驱。
　　中医以其独特的诊断手法、系统的治疗方式和丰富的典籍材料，备受世界瞩目。
　　中国的中医事业由国家中医药管理局(State Administration of TCM and 


Pharmacology)负责。

开发。
　　在定义上，中医是指导中国传统医药理论和实践的一种医学，它包括中医疗法、中草药


(herbalogy)、针 灸(acupuncture )、推拿(massage)和气功(Qigong)。
　　参考答案
　　Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an integral part（不可分割的一部分） of 


Chinese culture. It has made great contributions to the prosperity of China. Today 


both TCM and western medicine are being used in providing medical and healthy 


services in China. TCM, with its unique diagnostic methods, systematic approach, 


abundant historical literature and materials, has attracted a lot of attention from

development in this promising industry. TCM is defined as a medical science 


governing the theory and practice of traditional Chinese medicine. It includes 


Chinese medication中医疗法, herbalogy中草药, acupuncture针灸, massage推拿 and 


Qigong.
　　难点精析：
　　1.不可分割的一部分：可译为an integral part。
　　2.为振兴华夏做出了巨大的贡献：可译为has made great contributions to the 


prosperity of China，其中“华夏”： 即“中国”，可直接译为China; “振兴”此处翻译


成了名词形式prosperity,还可译为revitalization;“做出了 巨大的贡献”可译为 has made 


great contributions。
　　3.并驾齐驱：此处指两者(中医和西医)都得以应用，可简单地翻译为both are being 


used。
　　4.独特的诊断手法、系统的治疗方式和丰富的典籍材料：三个并列的名词短语，可分别


译为unique  diagnostic methods, systematic approach和abundant historical 


literature and materials; “典籍材料”可理解为历史文献资料，翻译为historical 


literature and materials。
　　5.引导并促进这一新兴产业的研究和开发：“引导”译为guide; “促进”可译为


promote，还可译为facilitate或further; “新兴产业，，可译为promising industry,还可


译为new industry或emerging industry。
　　6.中医疗法：译为Chinese medication。


补充②中欧经济贸易
　　中欧经济贸易合作取得了可喜的成果。欧盟已经成为中国的重要经贸伙伴，是中国最大


的技术供应方、 第三大贸易伙伴和第五大实际投资方。2001年，中欧贸易达到766亿美元


，比上一年增长11%，尤其是中国从欧盟的进口增长了15.8%。我非常赞赏欧中贸协


(Europe-China Business Association)与中经贸理事会 (Belgium-Chinese Economic and 


Commercial Council)为发展中欧关系所做出的努力。中欧经济贸易合作具有广阔的前景。


中欧经济具有很强的互补性，在贸易、投资、科技等领域具有很大的合作潜力。
　　参考答案
　　China-EU economic and trade cooperation(中欧经济贸易合作) has yielded 


heartening（鼓舞人心的） fruits. The EU has now become an important economic 


and trade partner of China, working as the largest technology supplier, the third 


largest trading partner and the fifth largest actual investor in China. Bilateral（双边


的） trade reached 76.6 billion dollars in 2001, achieving an 11% increase compared 


to the previous year. In particular(特别是), China's imports from the EU grew by 


15.8%. I highly appreciate the efforts by the Europe-China Business Association and 


the Belgium-Chinese Economic and Commercial Council for developing China-EU 


ties. China-EU trade and economic cooperation is endowed with(赋予) a promising 


future. The two economies are strongly complementary to each other and hence（


此后） enjoy huge potential for cooperation in trade, investment, science and 


technology areas.
　　难点精析
　　1.中欧经济贸易合作取得了可喜的成果：EU=European Union，表示欧盟;“取得了”


可译为has got，但稍显生硬，yield fruit意为“结果，取得成果”，用在此处更为恰当;“


可喜的”可译为heartening，还可译为 promising。
　　2.第三大贸易伙伴和第五大实际投资方：“最大”用the largest来表示，“第几大”则


可译为the+序数词+largest，因此此处“第三大”译为the third largest; “第五大”译为


the fifth largest。“贸易伙伴”译为trading partner; “实际投资方”译为actual 


investor。
　　3.766亿美元：应译为76.6 billion dollars。billion意为“10亿”，而不是“1 亿”。
　　4.增长了15.8%:可译为grew by 15.8%,还可译为increased by 15.8%。increase的反义


词为decrease，二者用法相同，后接具体的百分比时，要与介词by连用。
　　5.发展中欧关系：“关系”还可译为relationship，但tie表示的“关系”比


relationship的情感色彩更强烈一些，意为“紧密关系”，此处原文中虽没有提及“紧密”


，但很显然是要发展中欧的紧密关系，故译成tie更贴合文意。
　　6.具有很强的互补性：可译为are strongly complementary to each other, 


complementary意为“互补的”。
　　7.具有很大的合作潜力：“具有”此处译为enjoy显得生动，带有较强的感情色彩。


potential后应与介词for 搭配。
【汉译英1】波士顿咨询公司最近做的一项研究显示，到2020年中国将会有2.2亿家庭收入


在2万到100万美元的富裕消费者。这些消费者中75%住在“较小城市”。随着网络的发展


，较小城市的消费者的一种必然趋势是他们更加依赖社交网络服务上的信息。很多网络顾客


都是通过微信、微博和QQ空间分组的。据估计今年中国将会有2.5亿消费者进行网购，位于


四线城市的消费者平均每人会花费他们50%或者更高的工资在网购上，这一数据要比一线城

in “smaller” cities. With the development of the Internet, an inevitable trend

【汉译英2】聘金是中国传统习俗的一部分。这一习惯在整个中国都很普遍。但是近几年来


其标准不断上升，致使大多数家庭都很难达到。高额的聘礼常常“抢劫”了新郎父母必生的


积蓄，甚至引起家庭纠纷。此外，许多新婚夫妇被迫举行奢侈的婚礼宴会，在这个过程中，


大量债务的累积可能使他们的新婚生活变得辛酸，至少在最初阶段是这样。想想老一辈节俭


的婚礼，虽然简简单单，但也幸福美满，没有给他们婚后的生活带来任何负担。
　　【参考译文】Endowment(聘金，捐赠) may be part of Chinese tradition, but the 


standards have become so high in recent years that a majority of families are 


finding it difficult to meet them. The high endowment amounts often rob grooms'(


新郎) parents of their life's savings and cause family disputes. Besides, many newly 


married couples are forced to host extravagant(奢侈的) wedding ceremonies and, in 


the process, run up(积欠) huge debts that could turn their married life sour, at least 


in the initial phase. Considering the frugal(节俭的) wedding of many parents, simple 


but happiness, didn't have any bearing on their married life.

1.阅读经典书籍对人的成长至关重要
2.现在愿意阅读经典的人却越来越少，原因是……
3.我们大学生应该怎么做
范文：
    Nobody could have failed to notice the fact that reading classics plays an 


important and beneficial role in the personal development and growth of people. 


Personally, ever since my childhood, nothing has been more attractive than reading 


the classic masterpieces. Taking a look around, we can find classics from which 


people hugely benefit too numerous to list: The Dream in the Red Chamber, The 


Legend of Three Kingdoms, Bible and the like.
    However, it is widely acknowledged that an increasing number of people are 


losing interest in classics. A number of factors could account for the change, but 


the following are the most critical ones. On one hand, practical reading has 


occupied the market and students’ spare time in such a material possession 


oriented society. On the other hand, the boom of internet industry gives rise to the 


change in students’ reading habit which consequently, in comparison, makes 


reading classics time-consuming and less entertaining.
    In view of the seriousness of this problem, effective measures must be taken 


before things get worse. First, it is essential that college rules and regulations be 


worked out and enforced to encourage college students to read classical works and 


start classics-reading campaigns in campus. Secondly, college students should 


enhance their awareness of the importance of absorbing the essence of the classics 


in which our ancestors left their wisdoms and experiences. With proper rules and an 


alert public, it will only be a matter of time to see this problem become a thing of 


the past in the near future.通过适当的规则和一个警告公众，这只会是一个时间问题看到


这个问题在不久的将来成为过去。
