中華民族歷史悠久，中華文明源遠(yuǎn)流長，中華文化博大精深。在社會快速發(fā)展的今天，大家不要忘記中國的優(yōu)秀文明成果。滬江英語的老師帶大家一起領(lǐng)略國家領(lǐng)導(dǎo)對優(yōu)秀文明成果的重視吧。

黨的十八大以來，在黨和政府高度重視與支持下，我國博物館事業(yè)取得長足發(fā)展。不同地域、不同層級、不同屬性、不同類型的博物館均衡發(fā)展，普惠均等的博物館公共文化服務(wù)體系逐漸健全。

7月8日，中共中央總書記、國家主席、中央軍委主席 習(xí) 近平給中國國家博物館的老專家回信，在國博創(chuàng)建110周年之際，向國博全體同志致以熱烈祝賀和誠摯問候。

習(xí) 近 平總書記在回信中說，我曾多次到國家博物館參觀，留下了深刻印象。得知國博在收藏、研究、展示、對外交流等方面取得了新的進(jìn)步，我感到很欣慰。

習(xí) 近 平總書記強(qiáng)調(diào)，博物館是保護(hù)和傳承人類文明的重要場所，文博工作者使命光榮、責(zé)任重大。希望同志們堅持正確政治方向，堅定文化自信，深化學(xué)術(shù)研究，創(chuàng)新展覽展示，推動文物活化利用，推進(jìn)文明交流互鑒，守護(hù)好、傳承好、展示好中華文明優(yōu)秀成果，為發(fā)展文博事業(yè)、為建設(shè)社會主義文化強(qiáng)國不斷作出新貢獻(xiàn)。

黨的十八大以來，習(xí) 近 平總書記在多地考察調(diào)研期間，走進(jìn)博物館，了解歷史文化遺產(chǎn)保護(hù)工作。

雖然現(xiàn)在世界一體化，但是大家在快速發(fā)展的社會文化中，不要忘記了我們國家的傳統(tǒng)文化。下面跟著滬江英語的老師一些來學(xué)習(xí)一下中國文化的英語說法，學(xué)會之后可以更好的傳播中國傳統(tǒng)文化。

孔廟(Temple of Confucius)

孔廟(Temple of Confucius)坐落于山東省曲阜市南門內(nèi),是紀(jì)念我國偉大思想家、教育家孔子的祠廟建筑(temple building) ,也是一組具有東方風(fēng)格的大型建筑群。由于孔子創(chuàng)立的儒家思想(Confucianism)對于維護(hù)社會統(tǒng)治安定所起到的重要作用,孔廟便被古代帝王所器重。在古代經(jīng)常舉辦祭孔典禮?；蛘呤怯苫实圩约?，或者是由皇帝委任的高級官員。祭孔的規(guī)模和祭天- -樣宏大。由此，孔子在歷史上的重要地位便可見一斑。

參考翻譯:

Located inside the south gate of Qufu, Shandong, the Temple of Confucius is a large complex of temple buildings in oriental style in memory of Confucius, China’s great thinker and educator. The importance of Confucianism created by Confucius in maintaining the social ruling stability made

ancient emperors put a high value on the Temple of Confucius. In ancient times sacrifices were often offered to Confucius, either by Emperors themselves, or by emperor-appointed high officials. The scale of offering sacrifices to Confucius was as grand as that given to the Heaven. This gives us an idea of the importance of Confucius in history.

太極拳(Tai Chi)

太極拳(Tai Chi)是一系列緩慢的動作,旨在修煉身心。它就像是一種舞蹈，卻不需要你隨音樂起舞,而是需要你向內(nèi)看聆聽內(nèi)心的節(jié)奏.它創(chuàng)自數(shù)千年前,原本是一-種武術(shù)(martial art)一-種自衛(wèi)的技藝。然而，它的武術(shù)方面如今不太流行了。目前全世界成千上萬人練習(xí)它，主要是由于它對于人類健康的神奇作用。它將身體動作與平靜、冥想的(meditative)心理狀態(tài)結(jié)合起來,所以也被稱作“冥想運動(meditation in motion)”.

參考翻譯:

Tai Chi is a series of slow movements which are aimed at training us physically and mentally. It is just like a dance that requires you to look inside and dance to the internal rhythms instead of music. It was created thousands of years ago as a martial art and specifically as a defensive art.However,

nowadays its martial aspect is not that popular. It is practiced by thousands ofpeople around the world mostly because of its miraculous effects on human’s health. It is often called" meditation in motion “because it combines the body’s movements with the calm and meditative state of mind.

翻譯解析

1.修煉身心:可譯為train us physically and mentally或者譯為train the body and mind此處譯文的us為補譯的內(nèi)容,為的是使英語句子結(jié)構(gòu)完整.

2.隨音樂起舞應(yīng)譯為dance to the music,其中dance to是一種固定表達(dá)方式，表示“隨著..起舞”之意。

3.-種自衛(wèi)的技藝應(yīng)譯為a defensive art.這里的”技藝”指”手腳靈巧，有技能”, 所以不能翻譯成technique.

4.它對于人類健康的神奇作用:翻譯為its miraculous effects on human’s health,其中要注意與effects搭配使用的介詞為on。

5.將結(jié)合起來對應(yīng)的英文表達(dá)為combine… with...
