成语(Chinese idioms)是汉语中的一种独特的表达方式，大多由四个汉字组成。它们高度简练且形式固定，但通常能形象地表达深刻的含义。成语大多数来源于中国古代的文学作品，通常与某些神话、传说或者历史事件有关。如果不知道某个成语的出处，就很难理解其确切含义。因为，学习成语有助于人们更好地理解中国传统文化。成语在日常会话和文学创作中广泛使用。恰当使用成语可以使一个人的语言更具表现力，交流更有效。

【译文】

Chinese idioms are unique expressions in Chinese, mostly composed of four Chinese characters. Despite the extreme conciseness and fixed format, they usually convey/express profound meanings visually. These idioms, largely derived from ancient Chinese literary works, are usually related to certain myths, legends or historical events. It will be difficult to understand/grasp the exact meaning without knowing the source of an idiom. Therefore, learning idioms can help people understand Chinese traditional culture better. Idioms are widely used in daily conversations and literary works. Proper use of idioms can make one’s language more expressive and communication more effective.

1.成语( Chinese idioms)是汉语中的一种独特的表达方式，大多由四个汉字组成。

题目中给出了成语二字的英语，但是给出的形式是复数，但中文后面又说是“一种”，此时就要注意保持主谓一致;

“由……组成”可以是consist of，也可以是be composed of，此处给出的译文中省略了“which are”，更加简洁;

“汉字”就是“character”，如果仅用Chinese一词，是无法准确表达出四个汉字的意思的。

2.它们高度简练且形式固定，但通常能形象地表达深刻的含义。

此处的“高度简练”、“形式固定”可以用形容词词组“highly concise and formally fixed”来翻译，也可以用名词词组“extreme conciseness and fixed format”来翻译，英文中更多用名词来表示;

形象地可以用“vividly/visually”来表示，而“表达”除了最直接的“express”之外，还可以用“convey/deliver”;

“…，但…”可以在后面用but，也可以在前面用despite/in spite of +N。

3成语大多来源于中国古代的文学作品，通常与某些神话、传说或者历史事件有关。

前面已经出现了Chinese idioms，也出现了they，所以这里我们再换一个说法，改写为“These idioms”;

“来源于”有很多同义表达：originate from/stem from/derive from;

“与…有关”是“be related to/be associated with”

4如果不知道某个成语的出处，就很难理解其确切含义。

这句话中，中文省略了主语，如果用if从句，我们应该补充主语，这种情况下一般用one来补充较好，也就是“if one fails to know”，如果不想使用人称代词，也可以译成“without knowing”，后半句用：it is adj.+ to do sth. 来避免人称代词的出现

“出处”也就是“来源”，可以联想到“source”;因此，学习成语有助于人们更好地理解中国传统文化。

“因此”：therefore; hence; consequently; thus

“有助于”最简单的译法就是help，如果想用更高级的词语，可以用到contribute to/ be conducive to/conduce to

“更好地理解”可以用understand的动词 “understand sth. better”，也可以转化为用其名词的译法：“gain a better understanding of sth.”

成语在日常会话和文学创作中广泛使用。

“日常会话”译为daily/everyday conversation;而“文学创作”译为“literary works”，想不到works用creation也可以，但是更中式， literature也是可以的;

这个句子中文也是主动句，但是译成英语是要变成被动，成语是“被人们使用的”，也就是“are widely used in”，注意保持主谓一致

恰当使用成语可以使一个人的语言更具表现力，交流更有效。

在这个句子中，“恰当使用成句”是主语，这个主语又可以拆分为一句话，但是我们在这里可以直接把使用译为名词，避免了不必要的复杂翻译，也就是“proper use of idioms”;

“语言更具表现力，交流更有效”这两部分是并列的，所以翻译时尽量保持两部分的形式一致，可以稍微做一些转化，“有效”是形容词，“表现力”是名词，所以我们把表现力转化成“有表现力的”，也就是effective和expressive。

英语六级作文范文5篇带翻译

写作一直是一个老大难的问题,下面是我整理的英语六级作文带翻译5篇，欢迎阅读!

【二胎政策】

China has decided to end its decades-long one-child policy. All couples are allowed to have two children. This decision has aroused much chatter—whether it is high time that China should carry out the universal two-child policy or not. As far as I am concerned, this policy is in line with China’s domestic situations.

Speaking from a macro perspective, this policy is a timely adjustment to China’s changing situations. The aging population has been posing a threat to the sustainable and healthy development of China. This policy will optimize the demographic structure, increase the labor force, ease the pressure of aging population and ensure the sustainable and healthy development of the economy and society.

Speaking from a micro one, as the odds of having a weak elderly parent and all the attendant need for physical and financial assistance have jumped many times in just one generation, this policy will bring about many benefits to the family in the long run. In spite of the fact that child rearing is anything less than an easy task, the disadvantages, such as temporarily economic burden, seem to be pale compared with the benefits. The second child, at least, will accompany his or her sibling and in the future, they will share the responsibility to support and care for their old parents.

参考译文

中国政府决定终止实行长达数十年以来的计划生育政策。 所有的夫妇都被允许生育二胎。 这项政策一出台就引起了多方热议----中国真的到了全面放开二胎政策的时候了吗? 我个人认为， 这项政策符合中国国情。

从宏观的角度来讲， 全面放开二胎政策是对不断变化着的中国国情做出的调整。 人口老龄化已经对中国的健康可持续发展造成了威胁。 全面放开二胎政策将会优化人口结构， 增加劳动力， 减轻人口老龄化带来的压力并确保经济和社会的可持续和健康发展。

从微观的角度来讲， 随着父母一方出现身体虚弱状况的概率----在他(或她)身上需要体力和经济的支持----是上一代人的许多倍，全面放开二胎政策，从长远角度来看，将会给家庭带来诸多裨益。虽然养育孩子绝不是一件轻松的事情，但是多养育一个孩子所带来的弊端，比如，经济上暂时的拮据， 是无法与其带来的益处相比较的。 第二胎出生的孩子，至少会让他(或她)的哥哥或者姐姐感到不那么孤单;并且将来他们可以共同赡养他们年迈的父母。

【创新】

It is universally acknowledged that innovation refers to being creative, unique and different. In fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21st century without innovation.

We should place a high value on innovation firstly because innovative spirit can enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming challenges. What’s more, we ought to attach importance to the role played by innovation in economic advancement. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, innovation to economic growth is what water is to fish. To sum up, if innovation misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.

In order to encourage innovation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. For example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creative spirit and encourage the public to cultivate awareness of innovation. Besides, those who manage to innovate should be awarded generous prize. Though there is a long way ahead to go, I am firmly certain that the shared efforts will be paid off.

参考译文

众所周知创新意味着有创造力，独一无二和不同。事实上，今天我们已经很难想想一个没有创新的21世纪。

我们应该重视创新首先是因为创新精神可以让一个人完善自身，这样他才能具备见他人所未见的能力，未来才有资格得到职业生涯的进步，才能做好准备迎接以后的挑战。另外，我们也应该重视创新在经济发展方面的作用。在这个多变的时代，创新对于经济增长就像水对于鱼一样重要。换言之，如果我们以任何可能的形式无视创新的重要性，我们将遭受非常巨大的损失。

为了鼓励创新，应该采取一些且行之有效的措施。例如，大众传媒应该大力宣传创新精神的重要性，并且鼓励公众养成创新的意识。此外，对于那些想法设法进行创新的人要给予丰厚的奖励。虽然还有很长的路要走，但是我坚信大家共同付出的努力会得到回报。

【纸质阅读】

With mobile phones widely used in our daily lives, various Apps emerge. Reading has therefore become more convenient. However, different people hold different views toward online reading.

Though more convenient reading becomes, I like paper reading more than online reading. The reasons are as follows. Firstly, I cherish the moment keeping company with the book. When I bury my head into the book, the special fragrance of the book slips through my fingers, into my nose, then into my brain. How marvelous the feeling is! Secondly, I can take various notes on the book as long as I want to, which is not that easy to do when reading online. When I have finished reading the book, what I harvest will be not only the knowledge and idea the book conveys, but also my systematic thinking about the book, which can be vividly embodied by my notes on the book. Thirdly, paper reading won’t be distracted easily by irrelevant information which often emerges in online reading.

Based on the above three points, I prefer paper reading to online reading.

参考译文

随着手机在我们日常生活中的广泛应用，各种App应运而生。阅读因此也变得更加方便。但是，不同的人对在线阅读持有不同的看法。

虽然在线阅读变得更加方便，但是我更喜欢纸质阅读。原因如下。第一，我珍爱与书为伴的时刻。当我埋头读书时，书本的特殊香味会溜过我的手指，溜进鼻子，然后溜进大脑。这种感觉很美妙啊!第二，只要我想做笔记，我就可以在书上做各式笔记，而在线阅读时不那么容易做到这一点。当我阅读完这本书的时候，我收获的不仅是书本所传递的知识和想法，还有我关于这本书的系统思考，这会通过我在书本上的笔记体现。第三，纸质阅读不会轻易被无关信息所打扰，而在线阅读却常常冒出不相干信息。

基于以上三点，比起在线阅读，我更喜欢纸质阅读。

【创造】

In accordance to the definition in Oxford Dictionary, creation refers to the act or process of making something that is new, or of causing something to exist that did not exist before.In fact, today it is impossibly difficult for us to image a 21st century without creation .

We should place a high value on creation firstly because creative spirit can enable an individual to ameliorate himself, so he can be equipped with capacity to see what others cannot see, be qualified for future career promotion, and be ready for meeting the forthcoming challenges. What’s more, we ought to attach importance to the role played by creation in economic advancement. Put it another way, in this ever-changing world, creation to economic growth is what water is to fish. To sum up, if creation misses our attention in any possible way, we will suffer a great loss beyond imagination.

In order to encourage creation, it is wise for us to take some feasible measures. For example, mass media should greatly publicize the significance of creativity and encourage the public to cultivate awareness of creation. Besides, those who manage to create should be awarded generous prize. Though there is a long way ahead to go, I am firmly certain that the shared efforts will be paid off.

参考译文

根据牛津字典的解释，创造指的是把新事物或者以前没有的产生出来出来的`行为或过程。事实上，今天我们已经很难想象在21世纪没有创造会是什么样子。

我们应该重视创造首先是因为富有创造的精神可以让一个人完善自身，这样他才能具备见他人所未见的能力，未来才有资格得到职业生涯的进步，才能做好准备迎接以后的挑战。另外，我们也应该重视创造在经济发展方面的作用。在这个多变的时代，创造对于经济增长就像水对于鱼一样重要。换言之，如果我们以任何可能的形式无视创造，我们将遭受非常巨大的损失。

为了鼓励创造，应该采取一些且行之有效的措施。例如，大众传媒应该大力宣传创造力重要性，并且鼓励公众养成创造的意识。此外，对于那些想法设法进行创造的人要给予丰厚的奖励。虽然还有很长的路要走，但是我坚信大家共同付出的努力会得到回报。

【发明】

Of all the elements that promote the development of our society, perhaps the most far-reaching has been invention. It is difficult to the point of impossibility for people to imagine a time without invention because it is the invention that enhances our society in all aspects.

Invention indeed plays an essential role in our life. Had it not been for it, we could not have lived in a modern society. Invention is momentous and fundamental to people what the soul is vital and significant to us. Given this, what can we do to cultivate this precious spirit ?

The measures, to my mind, are listed as following. To begin with, the authorities concerned should set up favorable laws and regulations to encourage invention.For example, we can set up the practice of giving premiums to inventors. What is more, the public are expected to realize the significance of invention, so that they can try their best to invent things. Last but not least, the press should place more value on invention. Though there is a long way to go, I firmly believe that our combined efforts will be rewarded at last.

参考译文

在促使社会发展的所有因素中，也许最有影响力的就是发明。我们很难想象一个没有发明的时代。因为正是发明从各个方面提升了我们的社会。

事实上，发明在我们的生活中确实扮演者重要的角色。如果没有发明，我们就不可能居住在现代化的社会中。发明对于我们的重要性，就如同灵魂对于我们的重要性一样。鉴于它如此重要，我们应该怎样培养这种珍贵的精神呢?

在我看来，可以采取如下措施。首先，相关的部门可以制定一些有利的法律法规来鼓励发明，例如，可以制定给发明者奖励的规定;其次，人们应该意识到发明的重要性，这样的话他们就能努力去发明一些东西;最后，媒体应该多多关注“发明”这个话题。尽管还有很长的路要走，但是我坚信，我们共同的努力最终将会得到回报。
