四六级短文汉译英新题型.doc

练习一 长城是人类创造的世界奇迹之一。如果你到了中国却没有去过长城，就像到了巴黎没有去看埃菲尔铁塔(Eiffel Tower)，或者就像到了埃及没有去看金字塔一样。人们常说：“不到长城非好汉。”实际上，长城最初只是一些断断续续的城墙，知道秦朝统一中国之后才将其连成长城。然而，今天我们看到的长城---东起山海关，西至嘉峪关---大部分都是在明代修建的。 The Great Wall is one of the greatest wonders of the world that created by human beings. If you come to China without climbing the Great Wall, it’s just like going to Paris without visiting the Eiffel Tower, or going to Egypt without visiting the Pyramids. Men often say, “He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man.” In fact, the wall began as independent walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the “Great Wall” until the Qin Dynasty.

Giant pandas are white with black patches around the eyes, ears, shoulders, chest, legs and feet. This black-and-white coloring may camouflage pandas in the snowy and rocky environment. Pandas have very good eyesight. These unusual eyes inspired the Chinese to call the panda the “giant cat bear”. 练习三 世界贸易组织成立于1995年1月1日，目的是确保一个稳定的全球和贸易经济环境。在当今世界上的190多个国家中，世界贸易组织的成员国(member country)有158个。在处理国家之间的贸易规则方面，世界贸易组织是唯一的全球性国际组织。世界组织的事务应该引起我们的关注，因为世贸组织制定的规则对我们国家的经济和国民生活都有一定的影响。 The WTO (World Trade Organization), established on January 1st, 1995, aims to ensure a stable trade and economic world environment. The WTO is an association of 158 member countries, of more than 190 countries in the world today. The WTO is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. The business of the WTO sho
