south-west Anybody who drives in Arizona at this time of year will be familiar with the annual migration of“snowbirds”retired people,that is,seeking to escape the sub-zero temperatures of the north for the balmy desert winter.As many as 300,000 snowbirds flock here each year,so if you havent seen one before,theres a good chance that your first encounter with this exotic creature will occur when you find yourself stuck behind a Jayco caravan with Nebraska licence plates doing 40mph on a single-lane highway.Most of Arizonas snowbirds start their journey in the rural mid-west.They tend to be less affluent than the urban north-easterners who make up most of Floridas winter-resident stock and who favour the more comfortable nesting afforded by condos.Still,the snowbirds bring an extra$1 billion a year to Arizona.In some towns,such as Yuma,which sees its population double in winter,they keep the local economy ticking over.二、汉译英笔译二、汉译英笔译目的目的介绍汉译英中常见的问题探讨解决翻译问题的方法了解翻译方法的适用情况 要求要求

一天下午，我乘公共汽车去上学。车上人不多，有一位妇女从座位上站起来买票。这时，她旁边的一位小伙子以为她要下车，就坐在那个空座位上。那位妇女买完票，发现位置被人占了，满脸不高兴地说：“真是，不会下蛋，倒挺会占窝！”小伙子听了这话，忙让出座位对她说：“真对不起，耽误您下蛋了。”下列四个句子中，哪句适合作为这则短文首句译文的句子？并解释为什么。One afternoon I went to school by bus.One afternoon I was going to school by busOne afternoon I was riding on a bus on my way to school.One afternoon，on my way to school，I got on a bus在初学英语时，我们做过许多单句练习。如果“一天下午，我乘公共汽车上学去”出现在这种练习中，One afternoon I went to school by bus是很好的译文。可否用这个英文句子去翻译上面短文的首句？为什么？“一天下午，我乘公共汽车上学去”这句话出现在单句翻译练习中与出现在需要翻译的短文中有什么区别？对比这两种情况，从以下三个方面说明实际交流中的翻译与初学英语时做过的单句翻译有什么不同：1）翻译的目的2）原文的作（编）者、读者和译者以及译文的读者3）语言的作用Context of

虎求百兽而食之，得狐。狐曰：“子无敢食我也！天帝使我长百兽，今子食我，是逆天帝命也。子以我为不信，吾为子先行，子随我后，观百兽之见我而敢不走乎。”虎以为然故遂与之行。兽见之皆走。虎不知兽畏己而走也，以为畏狐也。A tiger caught a fox while looking for any beast that might come to his way and fall prey to

黄宗英是一九四二年在上海开始艺术生涯的，在此之前，曾在天津度过了学生时代。至今她还清楚地记得，三七年夏天，小学毕业，她报考了天津南开中学，发榜那天，她兴冲冲地赶去看榜，刚走到中原公司，就遇到了戒严。她和行人慌忙躲进商店，只见插着太阳旗的坦克隆隆驶过，坦克履带的痕迹深深刻在了祖国母亲的胸膛上，也在她少小的心灵上留下了不可平复的伤痕。这以后，日军全面占领了天津，当局在学校强制推行日语教育，和她们朝夕相处的老师，含泪讲着都德的最后一课。Before she started her career as an actress in Shanghai in 1942,she spent her schooldays in Tianjin.跟进练习（三）跟进练习（三）引导农民向城市转移引导农民向城市转移中国有12多亿人口，农民占了9亿多。尽管农村社会在进一步分化，但农村人口却没有减少，反而在增加。据中国社科院调查，与1978年相比，1999年农民增加了800多万人。一份研究报告指出，“没有城市化的发展，农村、农业和农民的问题也不可能得到有效解决。过去人们常讲，农民问题归根到底是土地问题，这个问题已经基本解决了。现在的农民问题是就业问题。”因此，调整城乡社会结构，加快城市化的步伐，改变城市化严重滞后于工业化的状况，应是当务之急。Of

fell;the river flooded;the house washed away.昨天碰见老张，说老婆病了，住了院，要陪床，下周不能上班。Yesterday meet Lao Zhang,say wife ill,hospitalized,need take care of (her),cant work next week.When I met Lao Zhang yesterday,he said that his wife was ill and hospitalized.He needed to take care of her so he could not go to work the next week.Contrast of Chinese and English SentencesEnglish 1)Detached and independent 2)Compact:S+V structures3)Hypotactic:subordination of one clause to another Chinese1)No clear dividing line in between2)Diffusive,water-flowing or verb sentences3)Paratactic:without indication of coordination or subordination第一，英语由于有形态上的变化，又强调主谓一致，因此句界分明；而汉语没有形态变化，由于强调按照时间和事理顺序横向排列，所以断句不严。第二，英语每个句子基本上都以主语-动词为结构主干，以谓语动词为核心组成空间搭架；而汉语强调时间顺序和事理排列。第三，英文重形合（hypotaxis），有丰富的连接手段，不仅有形态变化，有连词和介词，还有关系代词、关系副词、不定式、分词和动名词，可以构成无数的短语，表达各种语法关系；而汉语重意合（parataxis），没有形态变化，没有非谓语动词形式，更没有关系代词和关系副词，尽管也有一些连词和介词，但数量较少，使用也不如英语频繁。下周不能上班cant
