1.说到中国文化，不能不提到长城。从公元前7世纪到公元16世纪，在大约2 200年的时间里，先后有19个朝代修建过长城，所修的长城长达10万千米以上。主要的长城修建工程是在秦代、汉代和明代完成的。现今存有遗迹的主要是明长城，从东边入海口的山海关(Shanhai Pass)开始，一直到沙漠深处的嘉峪关(Jiayu Pass),全长约6 700千米。长城是世界历史上最伟大的工程之一,其建造时间之长、参与人数之多、工程难度之大，在世界上无出其右。
参考译文：
When it comes to Chinese culture, the Great Wall is the one that will be definitely referred to. Through about 2 200 years from the 7th century BC to the 16th century AD, the Great Wall was built in 19 dynasties and reached a total length of more than 100 000 kilometers. The major construction was carried out in the Qin, Han and Ming Dynasties. The Great Wall we visit nowadays is mainly the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, stretching about 6 700 kilometers from Shanhai Pass at the eastern river mouth to Jiayu Pass in the depths of desert. The Great Wall is one of the greatest projects in the history of the world for its unparalleled span of construction, amount of labor and difficulty.
2. 中国传统画家的目标在于不仅要描绘主体的外观，还要捕捉其内在本质——活力、生命力和精神。他们用最经济的手段——毛笔和墨水——实现了这一点。为了实现这一目标，中国传统画家往往拒绝使用彩色。如同喜欢拍摄黑白作品的摄影师，中国传统艺术家认为彩色会分散注意力。他们还拒绝使用具有多变性的光和影。与之相反，他们依靠笔墨留下的不可磨灭的(indelible)痕迹——线条。中国传统画家之所以精通这种绘画技术，原因可能在于他们前期的书法(calligraphy)训练。
参考译文：
This is the aim of traditional Chinese painters: not only to describe the outer appearance of a subject but also to capture its inner essence—its energy, life force and spirit. They achieve this with the most economical means: brushes and ink. In order to reach this goal, they tend to reject the use of color. Like photographers who prefer to work in black and white, traditional Chinese artists regard color as the distraction. They also reject the use of light and shadow, which have changeable qualities. Instead, they rely on the line—the indelible mark of the brush and the ink. The reason why traditional Chinese painters can master this skill likely lies in their previous practice of calligraphy.
3. 古筝(guzheng)是一种古老的中国民族乐器。它是一种弹拨乐器(plucked instrument),其发音清脆悦耳。古筝的历史可以追溯到公元前5世纪至公元前3世纪的战国(the Warring States)时期，经秦汉时代由西北地区流传至全国。古筝音色(timbre)高洁典雅、富有神韵(romantic charm)。从古至今，古筝音乐都深受各阶层人士的欢迎与喜爱，是一种雅俗共赏的艺术。古筝已经成为中国传统文化的一部分，也是世界各民族共同的文化艺术财富。

As an ancient Chinese national musical instrument, the guzheng is a kind of plucked instrument with a clear and pleasant sound. The history of the guzheng can date back to the period of the Warring States from the 5th century BC to the 3rd century BC, and then the guzheng spread to all over the country from the Northwest region during the Qin and Han Dynasties. The guzheng has a noble and elegant timbre full of romantic charm. The music produced by the guzheng has been welcomed and loved by people from all walks of life from ancient times to the present and it is an art form appealing to both refined and popular tastes. The guzheng has become a part of traditional Chinese culture as well as the treasure of culture and art shared by different nations in the world.
4. 经过多年的摸索，绿色交通的理念已经成为我国交通运输行业发展的共识。根据规划 ,今年我国交通运输行业有关指标将实现大幅提升，基本建成低碳交通运输体系。要实现这一目标，加快智能交通系统(intelligent transportation system)与信息化建设、不断推动多项信息化技术在交通领域的应用成为重要的工作着力点。信息化技术应用在交通领域的广泛展开，不仅展现出良好的发展前景，也会促使相关领域的企业加大合作力度。
参考译文：
With many years of groping, the idea of green transportation has already become common sense in China’s development of the transportation industry. According to the plan, the relevant indicators of China’s transportation industry will rise sharply this year and a low-carbon transportation system will be basically established. To achieve this goal, we should accelerate the development of the intelligent transportation systems and information technology and keep promoting the applications of many information technologies in the transportation field, which is the key work focus. The extensive applications of information technology in the transportation field not only present a good prospect, but also prompt the enterprises in the relevant fields to strengthen their cooperation.
5. 近几年，电子商务的迅猛发展加快了电子货币(electronic money)的普遍应用。电子货币是通过电脑或手机等电子化方式来支付的货币。电子货币最典型的例子是比特币(bitcoin),它可以用现金购买，还能像其他任何货币一样进行交易。与现金支付相比，电子货币更加方便，增加了社会效益(social benefit),但对银行经营方式产生了冲击。安全性一直是电子货币使用过程中最受关注的问题，因此要建立完善的电子货币支付系统，保证支付的安全性。
参考译文：
E-commerce has undergone tremendous growth in recent years, accelerating the widespread application of electronic money. Electronic money is the currency which is used to pay by electronic means like a computer or mobile phone. The most typical example of electronic money is the bitcoin, which can be bought with real money and used to trade like any other currency. Compared with the cash payment, it is more convenient and raises the social benefit, but it has an impact on the way the bank operates. Security has always been the biggest concern in the process of using electronic money, so it is required to establish a perfect electronic money payment system to ensure the security of payment. |
