若他們想在本國市場脫穎而出，在外國市場嶄露頭角，就必須設計更好的產品。

1.原文
傳統美
對于一名女子來說，傳統美是她的唯一標志。她的皮膚應該天生麗質，沒有皺紋，沒有疤痕，沒有瑕疵。她的身材應該消瘦苗條，通常高挑個，雙腿修長，其中青春年少則是首要條件。所有在電視廣告中出現的“花容月貌”的靚女都符合這個標準。這種形象是認為的，是可以人工塑造的。許多婦女盡其所能來擺布和修改自己的容貌體態。

她的皮膚應該天生麗質，沒有皺紋，沒有疤痕，沒有瑕疵。
分析:
本句中的“皺紋”，“疤痕”，“瑕疵”應選擇意思最接近的英語詞匯，可以譯為wrinkle,scar,flaw。
翻譯練習題六
1.原文
生活的藝術
在中國，人們對一切藝術的藝術，即生活的藝術，懂得很多。一個較為年輕的文明國家可能會致力于進步;然而一個古老的文明國度，自然在人生的歷程上見多識廣，她所感興趣的自然是如何過好生活。就中國而言，由于有了中國的人文主義精神，把人當作一切事物的中心，把人類幸福當做知識的終結，于是，強調生活的藝術就是更為自然的事情了。但即使沒有人文主義，一個古老的文明也一定會有一個不同的價值尺度，只有這樣，它才會知道什么是“持久的生活樂趣”。任何一個民族，如果它不知道如何享受生活，那么，在我們的眼里，這個民族一定是粗野的，不文明的。
2.參考譯文
In China,people know a lot about the art of all arts,namely,the art of life.A comparatively young country will dedicate to the progress;however,an ancient civilized country is experienced and knowledgeable in the life road,and naturally she is interested in how to lead a good life.As to China,it is much more natural to emphasize the art of life because of the humanism spirit of China,taking people as the center of everything and making human being's happiness as the end of knowledge.Even if there is no humanism,an ancient civilization would also have its own value standard,and only in this way would it know what the “lasting life pleasure”is.Any nation,if it does not know how to enjoy life,must be barbaric and uncivilized in our eyes.
人文主義精神
分析:
基本素質采分點。可譯為humanism spirit。
任何一個民族，如果它不知道如何享受生活，那么，在我們的眼里，這個民族一定是粗野的，不文明的。
分析:
中文句子結構比較松散，在翻譯成英文時我們要盡量使句子間有明顯的邏輯結構。這里“如果…”引導的分句可以作為條件從句前置或內嵌在主句中，“任何一個民族”就可以做主句的主語。

1.原文
主動失業
截至2005年第三季度，全國勞動力市場供求狀況顯示，我國15歲至29歲的青年總體失業率達到了9%，遠遠高于4.5%的城鎮平均登記失業率。而在此之中，選擇主動失業的占到了一半以上。
“主動放棄就業機會的原因很多，但這些人都有一個共性，就是不會因為經濟原因餓死。至少在短時間內。”復旦大學教授葛劍雄認為，社會發展到現在，一些青年人的確具備了可以失業的條件。他們不用像上班族那樣刻板地工作，可是相比之下他們的生活卻格外“富足”。
2.參考譯文

選擇主動失業的占到了一半以上
分析:
“選擇主動失業”翻譯為:“choosing to be unemployed”。

1.原文
湖泊
湖泊奇妙無比。蒼鷺(Heron)在岸邊緩緩地邁著步子，翠鳥(Kingfisher)和杜鵑換腳著從陽光里飛入樹蔭，火雞模樣的大鳥在枯枝間忙碌，鷹在頭上盤旋。我們毋庸為時間擔憂，可以從容地欣賞周圍的一切。我乘坐的獨木舟船頭坐著個男孩，他用簡陋的彈弓(sling)發射石彈擊打飛鳥。他擺出漂亮的架勢瞄準飛鳥，卻一次又一次地偏離目標：鳥總是飛出他的射程。他把彈弓塞回進襯衣內。我移開目光。
湖水與河水都如熱帶雨林中的樹葉那樣乳濁：那水是面紗，是窗簾，是畫屏。
2.參考譯文
This lake was amazing and wonderful.Herons plodded along the shores,Kingfishers and cuckoos clattered from sunlight to shade,great turkeylike birds fussed in dead branches,and hawks hovered above us.There was all the time in the world.And we could appreciate everything surrounding by leisurely.The boy in the bow of my canoe slapped stones at birds with a simple sling,a rubber thong and leather pad.He aimed brilliantly at moving targets,missed again and again;the birds were out of his range.He stuffed his sling back in his shirt.Then I looked away.
The lake and river waters were as opaque as rainforest leaves;the water was veil,blind,painted screen.
蒼鷺(Heron)在岸邊緩緩地邁著步子，翠鳥(Kingfisher)和杜鵑換腳著從陽光里飛入樹蔭，火雞模樣的大鳥在枯枝間忙碌，鷹在頭上盤旋。
分析:
這個句子中描繪的五種動物動作的動詞是翻譯重點，要選擇最恰當的詞匯。另外杜鵑，鷹為常用鳥的名字，譯為cuckoo,hawk。

1.原文
京劇
京劇(Beijing Opera)是中國的國粹。作為一門古老的藝術，京劇的服裝(costume)、臉譜(facial mask)更易被人喜愛。不同的服裝 類型反映不同的人物身份特征。富貴者的服裝綴滿精美的刺繡;窮困 者的服裝則簡單樸素，少有裝飾(elemental)。臉譜是京劇中塑造人物 形象的重要手段，它是用不同的顏色在臉上勾畫出來的。臉譜的顏 色讓人一看便知角色(portray)的善惡。比如白色代表奸詐(treachery)， 黑色代表正直不阿，黃色是驍勇，藍、綠色多用于綠林好漢(rebellious fighters)，金、銀色多用于神佛(divinity and Buddhism)等。
2.參考譯文
Beijing Opera is the cream of the Chinese culture. As a tradi?tional art form, its costumes and facial mask are more popular with people. Different styles of costumes are used to reflect the status of different characters. There are more decorations in the costumes of nobles，while those of the poor tend to be simple and less elemental. Facial masks can reflect qualities of different characters. Facial masks using different colors are important ways to portray a character. People can tell a hero from a villain by the colors of the masks. In general，white usually represents treachery, black represents righteousness, yellow represents bravery, blue and green represent rebellious fighters，while gold and silver represent divinity and Buddhism.
