最近三期的【YY 一讀】更多的是關注的時下的國際新聞,今天我們換一換口味,看一篇人民日報撰寫的評論文章(個人覺得有點像是散文)。文章中的所有標注、翻譯都是我自己做的,如有不準確的,請大家提出批評,共同學習,共同進步!來了,上文章咯!
P.S.:黃底的,是一些外國學者對中國的評價;灰底的,是一些中國古語的翻譯。
試解讀:China's story is the world's story(一)
Part 1
With the opening ceremony of the Shanghai World Expo, the world once again turns its eyes to China【注意相關積累turn a blind eye to視而不見; turn a deaf ear to充耳不聞、置若罔聞 】.
"From my first visit to Shanghai in 1972 to the present, the world has undergone【經(jīng)歷】 profound changes. Nowhere have these changes been more far-reaching than in China itself." said Henry Kissinger, former U.S. Secretary of State【國務卿】 and U.S. National Security Adviser【美國國家安全顧問】, who is looking forward to witnessing the Shanghai Expo.
From the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games to the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, carrying the dream of national revival【民族復興之夢】 and promoting the world's harmonious development, China will compose a new chapter in its story【寫下新的篇章】.

From the beginning, China's story is not an isolated one in the world's history. There are 1.3 billion people in China. China and the world embrace each other enthusiastically and China's story is bound to【必然】 become part of the world's story.
The global financial crisis has further pushed China to an advanced position in dealing with global issues and discussing them with the international community【注意這句話的表達,“國際金融危機進一步將中國推至在國際社會中處理及探討國際問題的前沿/重要位置”。在這些年的中高級口譯中,應當是熱點話題】. China and other countries will overcome difficulties and form. a global village together in the future. With China and the world engaging in closer cooperation【更為緊密的合作】, China's story and the world's story will become more and more intertwined.
'Concern about the changes in China is also concern about changes in the world.'
In the early 80s of last century, U.S. scholar John Nesbitt wrote a popular book titled "Megatrends."【《大趨勢》于一九八二年問世,此書在《紐約時報》暢銷書排行榜中維持兩年之久,銷售達八百萬本之多。】 Some 20 years later, "China's Megatrends" by the same scholar attracted the attention of the world once again. His understanding and grasp【理解】 about the influence of China is generally accepted by readers all over the world.
Part 3
"No one was quite ready for how fast China has emerged【可以理解為從困難的境地擺脫出來】. Now everyone is trying to understand what sort of China they will be dealing with," said Kristin Forbes of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, describing the "sense of uncertainty" brought about【bring about引起,帶來】 by China's rise【中國的崛起】.
"I am not worried about the Chinese century【中國人的世紀,有許多同名書籍、文章,講述老外眼中,中國的崛起】, but I would like to know what it means to my three sons". Retired U.S. Air Force【空軍】 employee Wayne Nunnari said, speaking of the significance of the China's story from the perspective of family.
This is a great story. It has not only changed the world with its unique vigor and vitality rapidly, but also aroused emotional ripples【漣漪、波紋】 and deep thinking among the politicians and the public all over the world【注意這句話的表達】.
David Lampton, expert on【某方面的專家】 China issues, gave the following explanation on【注意介詞】 this attitude: "Let's think, what makes people fear? People fear things they do not know. They fear things changing too fast and huge things. But to the Western world, China includes all of the above. "【注意下對中國的評價】
Part 4
The rich heritage of China's story lies in its unique history and culture.
The Chinese nation, a civilization with a history of several thousand years, is a nation of peace-loving, freedom-advocating and justice-pursuing people【這個,有點類似公式了,要會。“中國人民熱愛和平,主張自由,追求正義】. Chinese culture is a genuine culture of peace. For thousands of years, "peace is precious"【和為貴】has been always the main line of Chinese social thought.
"Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire"【己所不欲,勿施于人】 has been always a basic value orientation of the Chinese nation. "Harmonization and Difference,"【和而不同】 "To carry the outer world with a breadth of character"【厚德載物】 shows the broad mind of Chinese people. Desire for and the pursuit of peace, as an ethos【民族精神】 of the Chinese nation, is deeply engraved【雕刻、銘刻】 in the hearts of the Chinese people.【注意這句我們常說的話的表達,“深深銘刻在中國人民的心中”】
Is a powerful China awful?
"China is a civilized country"; "the most unlikely trait of China is aggression, and the China's history has shown that Chinese people never have been over-aggressive."
Culture is the key to understanding China, which is becoming the consensus of international community.
