三、真题练习

1、练习1

尊敬的新西兰贵宾，女士们、先生们，我能在此为新西兰贵宾主持隆重的欢迎仪式深感荣幸和愉快。中国和新西兰相距遥远，但两国人民长期以来一直友好交往。这些年里，我们在政治、经济、文化、教育领域进行了真诚的、卓有成效的合作。

Distinguished guests from New Zealand,  ladies and gentlemen,  I feel honored and pleased to be here to preside over this grand welcome ceremony for the honorable New Zealand guests. It's true that it's a long way from China to New Zealand,  but the peoples from the two nations have long been friendly to each other. During the years,  we have conducted sincere and fruitful co-operations in the fields of politics,  economy,  culture,  education and so on.

 

随着两国人民之间交往的日趋频繁，我，作为一名中国学者，有机会多次访问新西兰，在那儿学习，讲学和交流。新西兰美丽的自然风景、充足的阳光和宜人的气候、安静舒适的学习环境以及和蔼友善的人民给我留下了深刻的印象。

With more and more exchanges between the two peoples,  I,  as a Chinese scholar,  have had opportunities to visit New Zealand many times,  studying,  lecturing and exchanging ideas. I'm deeply impressed by her beautiful scenery,  plenty of sunshine,  agreeable climate,  quiet and comfortable study environment,  as well as its people who are kind and friendly.

 

2、练习2

尊敬的代表们、女士们、先生们：我很高兴能代表新西兰政府欢迎各位来到新西兰政治文化金融中心。值此第二届环境保护部长级非正式会议召开之际，我想对你们所有的人，尊敬的代表们和相关国际环保组织的代表们，表示最热诚的问候。

Distinguished delegates,  Ladies and Gentlemen,  on behalf of New Zealand,  I take the pleasure in welcoming you to the cultural,  administrative,  economic and financial center of New Zealand. I would like to extend my warmest greeting to all of you,  delegates and representatives of international organizations involved in environmental protection,  upon the opening of the Second Informal Meeting of the Environment Ministers.//

 

环境保护非常重要。这是政府优先考虑的事项。为此，新西兰政府已增加了对环境保护的预算拨款并给环保部以机会来动员国际性支持。仅在过去四年里，政府对环保的预算拨款已增加了两倍多。

Environmental protection is very crucial. It is the priority of the government's agenda,  In this sense,  the Government of New Zealand has increased budget allocations for environmental management and provided opportunity to the Ministry of Environment to mobilize international support for the sector. Only during the last four years,  government's budget for environmental protection has more than tripled.

 

3、练习3

我为能在此设宴招待威廉斯副总统及夫人以及其他贵宾而深感荣幸和愉快。我愿借此机会向各位来宾表示热烈的欢迎。我此时的心情可以用孔子《论语》中的一句话来表达，"有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？"

 

It is my privilege and great pleasure to hold this banquet in honor of Vice President and Mrs. Williams and other distinguished guests. I would avail myself of this opportunity to extend my warm welcome to you all. A remark in "The Anlects" of Confucius best expresses what I feel now. "It is such a delight that I have friends visiting from afar!" Evidently,  Vice President Williams's current visit has demonstrated his Excellency's determination to further enhance the friendly and cooperative relations between our two countries. I am deeply convinced that frequent exchanges of visits between the top government officials of the two countries are beneficial not only to the improvement of our relations,  but also to the peace of and stability of the Asian-Pacific region and the world as a whole.

 

孔子　Confucius

孟子　Mencius

论语　Analects

五、中国古代谚语、成语、典故补充

天生万物，唯人为贵

Man is the most valuable among all the things that heaven fosters.

 

民为重，社稷次之，君为轻。

People are the most important element in the state, next are the government and grain, least is the ruler himself.

 

二人同心，其利断金

And as a saying from The Book of Changes goes, ”If two people are of the same mind, their sharpness can cut through metal.

 

一乡之善士斯友一乡之善士，天下之善士斯友天下之善士。

In so many different ways, we are upholding the teachings of Mencius, who said:”A good citizen in one community will befriend the other citizens of the community;a good citizen of the world will befriend the other citizens of the world.”

 

不登高山，不知天之高也；不临深渊，不知地之厚也。

One can never be aware of the height of the sky or the depth of the earth, if he does not climb up a high mountain or look down into a deep abyss.

 

但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。

We wigh each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though miles apart.

 

独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。

A lonely stranger in a strange land I am cast, I miss my family all the more on every festive day.

二人同心，其利断金。

If two people are of the same mind, their sharpness can cut through metal.

 

海内存知己，天涯若比邻。

A bosom friend afar brings distance near.

 

祸兮，福之所倚；福兮，祸之所伏。

Misfortune,  that is where happiness depends; happiness, that is where misfortune underlies.

 

举首望明月，低头思故乡。

Raising my head, I see the moon so bright; withdrawing my eyes, my nostalgia comes around.

 

礼尚往来。往而不来，非礼也；来而不往，亦非礼也。

Propriety suggests reciprocity. It is not propriety not to give but to receive, or vice versa.

 

两情若是长久时，又岂在朝朝暮暮。

If love between both sides can last for aye, why need they stay together night and day?

 

路漫漫其修远兮，吾将上下而求索。

The way ahead is long; I see no ending, yet high and low I’ll search with my will unbending.

 

敏而好学，不耻下问。

Quick-minded and eager to learn, he is never ashamed to consult his inferiors.

 

天生我材必有用。

Heaven has endowed me with talents for eventual use.

 

天时不如地利，地利不如人和。

Opportunities vouchsafed by Heaven are less important than terrestrial advantages, which in turn are less important than the unity among people.

 

天行健，君子以自强不息。

As Heaven’s movement is ever vigorous, so must a gentleman ceaselessly strive along.

 

无为其所不为，无欲其所不欲，如此而已矣。

Don’t do what should not be done; don’t desire what should not be desired. That is all.

 

学而不厌，侮人不倦。

Never be contented with your study; never be impatient with your teaching.

 

学如逆水行舟，不进则退。

Learning is like rowing upstream: not to advance is to drop back.

 

欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。

We widen our views three hundred miles by ascending one flight of stairs./Exhausting my eyes to a thousand li further, I am ascending one more story of the tower.
