范文：I like a variety of activities,fi'om active and wild ones like camping, sports and parties to quiet ones like reading and watching tv. i like to be outdoors,to participate in sports and to do daring things.
For example, several friends and i once took a trip down a wild river in a raft. we spent a week navigating dangerous currents, camping at night, fixing our own meals and having much fun. i am a member of our college foothall team.
I also like to do risky things such as skiing, motorcycling and mountain climbing, but i don't do them often and am very careful.
我喜欢各种各样的活动，从野营、运动和派对等活跃和疯狂的活动，到阅读和看电视等安静的活动。我喜欢户外活动，参加体育运动，做一些大胆的事情。
例如，有一次，我和几个朋友乘木筏沿着一条荒野的河流旅行。我们花了一个星期在危险的洋流中航行，晚上露营，自己做饭，玩得很开心。我是我们大学足球队的一员。我也喜欢做冒险的事情，比如滑雪、骑摩托车和爬山，但我不经常这样做，而且非常小心。
英语翻译技巧：
第一、省略翻译法
这与最开始提到的增译法相反，就是要求你把不符合汉语，或者英语的表达的方式、思维的习惯或者语言的习惯的部分删去，以免使所翻译出的句子沉杂累赘。
第二、合并法
合并翻译法就是把多个短句子或者简单句合并到一起，形成一个复合句或者说复杂句，多出现在汉译英的题目里出现，比如最后会翻译成定语从句、状语从句、宾语从句等等。
这是因为汉语句子里面喜欢所谓的“形散神不散”，即句子结构松散，但其中的语意又是紧密相连的，所以为了表达出这种感觉，汉语多用简单句进行写作。而英语则不同，它比较强调形式，结构严谨，所以会多用复杂句、长句。因此，汉译英时还需要注意介词、连词、分词的使用。
i also like to be with my friends. i usually get invited to at least one party a week. if i don't,then i arrange one myself, even it is very informal whenever i have a chance, i either eat out or go dancing with my friends.
in contrast,there are also many quiet private things that i enjoy doing. i have spent whole days reading a book, and i occasionally stay up late at night with a good novel. sometimes, too, i like to spend a relaxed evening watching light tv programs, or talking with friends about serious matters over a glass of wine. in other words, i like to do different things, depending on the mood i am in and the kind of people i am around.
