　　 翻译一：大四生活

　　现在大学生的学习压力相当重。除了大四，他们开始找工作了，其余的学生总是忙于学习，而不愿参加校园团体和俱乐部，不愿参加体育锻炼和其他课外活动，不愿与他们的朋友玩玩，不愿关心和学习没有关系的事。总之，他们就像一个机器人。压力大，时间少，功课多。看到同寝室里的人都上图书馆去学习，到深夜闭馆才回，而自己却去看电影，他们就会有一种内疚感。一想到白天什么事都没干，心里就感到不安，会整夜因此睡不着觉。他们学习太紧张，几乎没有时间好好品尝生活，干些其他事，成为一个全面发展的人。读大学使他们失去太多的个人幸福和健康。

　　参考译文

　　College studentsnow bear heavy academic pressure. You will find them—except seniors who arebeginning to look for a job—always too busy in studies to join campusorganizations, too busy to take part in sports and other extracurricularactivities, too busy to share the interests of their friends and too busy topay attention to anything that is not connected with their studies. In shortthey have become nothing but a robot. They are under pressure to do too muchwork in too little time. If their roommates are studying in the library untilit closes at midnight while they go to a movie they will feel guilty. The veryidea of doing nothing during the day will make them uncomfortable and sleeplessall night. They study so hard that they have hardly had time to savor life andto pursue other interests to grow as well-rounded people. The pursuit ofcollege education costs them too much personal happiness and health.

　　 翻译二：人物介绍

　　徐霞客一生周游考察了十六个省，足迹几乎遍及全国。他在考察的过程中，从不盲目迷信书本上的结论，从不把权威看作是真理的唯一基础。他发现人研究的地理记载中有许多不很可靠的地方。为了进行真实细致的考察，他很少乘车坐船，几乎全靠双脚翻山越岭，长途跋涉;为了弄清大自然的真相，他总是挑选道路艰险的山区、人迹稀少的森林进行考察，发现了许多奇山秀景;他常常选择不同的时间和季节，多次重游各地名山，反复观察变换的奇景。他不仅善于观察，观察的精确、耐心、客观、而且对观察的结果锲而不舍地进行思考。

　　参考译文

　　During his lifetime Xu Xiake visited 16 provinces leaving his footprints nearly everywhereacross the land. He never blindly accepted the conclusions given by books nordid he treat authority as the sole basis for truth. As a result he found manyinaccuracies in the travel notes on geography written by his predecessors. Inorder to get a detailed and truthful picture of the particular places hepreferred to travel on foot instead of by cart or boat despite long distancesand even ventured into mountainous areas and jungles which are rarely traveledby people and full of dangers. The payoff for his effort was his discovery ofmany fantastic landscapes which attracted him to return in different seasonsand even different hours of the day to observe their kaleidoscopic spectacles.He was not only a good observer accurate patient and objective but also appliedpersistent thought to the observations he made.

　　 翻译三：节日联欢

　　在这明月当空的中秋之夜，我很高兴能应邀出席贵公司的庆祝晚宴，同各位一起度过一个轻松、难忘的夜晚。我们平时忙于各自的工作，几乎没有时间坐下来交谈。我希望这次晚会可以让我们无所拘束地相互沟通，增进友谊。在这个高度竞争的时代，人际关系越来越紧张，似乎缺少了传统意义上的那种人间温暖的关怀。我国的中秋节不仅给人们提供了团聚的机会，其意义还包含了关怀、融洽和奉献。我为有幸参加这次中秋聚会，再次表示感谢。

　　参考译文

　　On this mostbeautiful moon-lit mid-autumn evening, I'm very glad to be invited to attendyour company's celebration evening party, and share a relaxing and memorableevening with you. We are so busily engaged in our work that we have virtuallylittle time sitting down and talking to each other. I hope this party will givean opportunity to talk to each other freely, and to increase / enhance personalfriendship. In this era of intensive competition, interpersonal relationsbecome increasingly intense. What appears to be lacking are the traditional humanwarmth and care. China's Mid-autumn Festival does not only provide an occasionfor getting together, but also implies opportunities for care, harmony anddedication. I wish to thank you again for your invitation to / giving me theopportunity to attend this mid-autumn evening party.

　　 翻译四：人际关系

　　有时候，在工作中重要的倒是能否处理好人际关系而不是有多大的才能。人际关系就是一种善于听取别人的意见，体察别人的需要，虚心接受批评的能力。善于处理人际关系的人敢于承认错误，敢于承担自己的责任，这是对待错误的一种成熟和负责任的态度。这就是为什么许多平平庸庸的公司雇员在大调整中保住了位置，而有才能的人反而下岗。因为他们很注意处理各方面的关系，所以八面玲珑，到处有缘。而人际关系差的人往往不能处理好批评。碰到错误，他们首先想到自己，拒不承认自己有错，或情绪低落或大发雷霆，成为有刺的人，难以相处。

　　参考译文

　　Sometimes it isinterpersonal skills rather than professional skills that really counts in yourcareer. Interpersonal skills are nothing but the ability to be good listener tobe sensitive toward others’ needs to take criticism well. People with skill insocial relations admit their mistakes and take their share of blame which is amature and responsible way to handle an error. That’s why many mediocreemployees survive violent corporate upheavals while people of great talent arebeing laid off. Sensitive in their dealings with others they are well likedeverywhere. People with poor interpersonal skills have trouble takingcriticism. When confronted with a mistake they let their ego get in the way. Theydeny responsibility and became moody or angry. They mark themselves as“prickly”.
