年英汉互译散文阅读2024英汉互译散文阅读导语想要提高英语阅读,那么阅读量就是基础,下面是我跟大家分享的英语阅读带有翻译的短文,一起来欣赏一下吧!一个人的生命究竟有多大的意义,这有什么标准可以衡量吗提出一个绝对的标准当然很困难;但是,大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真,看他对待劳动、工作等等的态度如何,也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了What isthe significanceof lifeIs thereany gaugeto measureit Itwould beverydifficult,of course,trying toadvance anabsolute standard.However,the significanceofone#39;s existencecan moreor lessbe ratedby examininghis attitudetoward lifeandwork.古来一切有成就的人,都很严肃的对待自己的生命,当他活着一天,总要尽量多劳动、多工作、多学习,不肯虚度年华,不让时间白白的浪费掉我国历代的劳动人民以及大政治家、大思想家等等都莫不如此Since ancienttimes allpeople ofaccomplishment arevery seriousabout theirlives.;While theyare alive,even ifthere isonly oneday leftto livethey tryto workas hardasthey canand learnas muchas possible,never lettinga singleday slipby without any gain.This istrue of the workingpeople as well asof the great statesmenand greatthinkers inourhistory.班固写的《汉书食货志》上有下面的记载冬,民既人;妇人同巷相从夜绩,女工一月得四十五日In thechapter Foodsand Goodsof The Chronicles of the HanDynasty,the greathistorianBan Gustates:In winterpeople stayindoors.Women gettogether tospin hempthreadsat nightThey manageto workforty-five daysin amonth.这几句读起来很奇怪,怎么一月能有四十五天呢再看原文底下颜师古做了注解,他说一月之中,又得夜半为十五日,共四十五日It soundsstrange.How comethere areforty-five daysin amonth Letus lookat its;annotations givenby Yanshigu:They gainhalf aday#39;s timeevery nightand theyhaveforty-five daysin amonth.这就很清楚了原来我国的古人不但比西方各国的人更早地懂得科学地、合理地计算劳动日;而且我们的古人老早就知道对于日班和夜班的计算方法Now itrsquo;s clear.Our ancestorshad,earlier thanthe westerners,learned howtocalculate workdaysaccurately andreasonably.They hadalso learnedhow calculatedayshift andnight shiftaswell.一个月本来只有三十天,古人把每个夜晚的时间算作半天,就多了十五天从这个意义张说来,夜晚的时间实际上不就等于生命的三分之一吗?It iscommon knowledgethat thereare onlythirty daysin amonth.Counting thetimeof onenight forhalf aday,our forefathersmanaged toexpend themonth byfifteen;days.In thissense thenight timegained amountsto one third ofour livesdoesn#39;tit对于这三分之一的生命,不但历代的‘劳动者如此重视,而且有许多大政治家也十分重视班固在《汉书刑法志》里还写道:This one third oflife isnot onlytreasured by the workingpeople butalso by thegreat statesmenin ourhistory.In thechapter CriminalLaw ofTheChroniclesofthe HanDynasty,Ban Gualso states:秦始皇躬操文墨,昼断狱,夜理书The FirstEmperor ofthe QinDynasty seta goodexample inbeing industrious,disposing oflawsuits duringthe dayand readingat night,This isabout howhe triedtofind timeto readat night.有的人一听说秦始皇就不喜欢他,其实秦始皇毕竟是中国历史上的一个伟大的人物,班固对他也还有一些公平的评价这里写的是秦始皇在夜间看书学习的情形To somepeople theThe FirstEmperor ofthe Qinisnrsquo;tapleasant nametorecall butthere isno denyingthat hewas agreat figurein thehistory ofChina.EvenBanGu hasan impartialopinion ofhim.据刘向的《说苑》所载,春秋战国时有许多国君都很注意学习Liu Xiang,thegreatscholar oftheHanDynasty,cites inhis historicalAnecdotes manyprincesoftheSpring andAutumn periodand WarringStates periodwho paidgreatattention tolearning.为什么古人对于夜晚的时间都这样重视,不肯轻易放过呢我认为这就是他们对待自己生命的三分之一的严肃认真的态度,这正是我们所应该学习的Why didthe peoplein theset suchgreat storebythenight timeI thinkthis ispositiveproof of their attitudetoward theonethirdoftheirlives.This isexactly whatweshould learnfrom them.我之所以想利用夜晚的时间,向读者同志们做这样的谈话,目的也不过是要大家引起注意珍惜这三分之一的生命,是大家在整天的劳动,工作以后,以轻松的心情,领略一些古今有用的知识而已My intentionof writingthis littleessay tonightis tocall thereadersrsquo;attentionto theonethirdof hislifetime
