14、仅次于日本。然而，从消费观念方面来讲，很多中国的消费者还处在“炫耀性消费”的阶段，这是一种不健康的状态。奢侈品不应该是炫耀的手段，或者是与权力、财富和社会关系相关的标志。【翻译词汇】大规模消费时代 an era of mass consumption追求物质生活 pursue material life购买力 purchasing power因此 therefore奢侈品 luxury占 account for市场份额 market share从来讲 in regard to炫耀性消费 conspicuous consumption炫耀 show off与相关 be associated wi

15、th社会关系 social tie参考译文：As China has achieved new heights in its economy and recently entered an era of mass consumption, the purchasing power of Chinese people is rising along with the development of market economy. Therefore, it is inevitable that people who pursue material life buy luxuries as long

16、 as they can afford. According to a report, the total consumption of luxuries in China accounted for a quarter of the global market share and ranked second in the world after Japan. However, in regard to consumption concept, a large number of Chinese consumers are still in the stage of “conspicuous

17、consumption”, which is unhealthy. Luxuries should not be the tools of showing off or signs associated with power, wealth and social ties.翻译原文：中国自古就有“修身、齐家、治国、平天下”的古训(maxim)。齐家指的便是成家立业，成家不能没有自己的一套房子。因此，房子成为中国人有家、有归属感的重要标志，并深人人心。房子在人们观念中的重要地位，使得房子不仅仅是居住环境的体现，更是个人身份的体现。根深蒂固的传统观念和强烈的的家的归属感，吸引着都市生活中这样一群忠

18、实而又执着的“买房族”。也可以说，中国的房价之所以一路飙升与中国人的购房观念是密不可分的。参考译文：There has been an old maxim“Cultivate the mind,and then regulate the femily, state and world”sinceancient China.Regulating the family refers to gettingmarried and starting ones career.However, gettingmarried cannot come true without ahouse.Therefore,

21、到占座的现象。对于这种现象的出现，人们各持己见，褒贬不一。学校的座位资源有限，这已经是人尽皆知的事实。在同学们面临期末考试、司法考试、英语四六级考试等诸多考试压力的同时，还要腾出精力去占座，使忙碌的学习生活平添烦恼。参考译文：Occupying a seat is common in universities.It haseven become an unwritten rule and a hiddenrule.Anywhere where seats are relatively rare, be itclassroom, canteen or library, occupying a s

23、 a seat, which makesbusy studying life more disturbing.翻译原文：打车难已经成为大城市人们生活中较为普遍的问题。城市人口规模的扩大，人类社会活动的不断多元(diversification)化都增加了对出租车的需求。随着城市交通拥堵状况不断加剧，为避免堵车影响收人，上下班高峰时段很多司机不愿意跑拥堵路段和主城区，导致市民在一些交通枢纽、商业中心、医院附近很难打到出租车。城市建设影响了出租车的使用效率。出租车行业不规范，拒载行为屡屡发生，这也是导致打车难的人为因素。参考译文：It has been a common problem in lar

29、.翻译原文：助人为乐，是中华民族优良传统之一。通过“助人”，既向别人提供了帮助，又体现了一种自尊。帮助他人要摈弃私心杂念，不能处处为个人利益着想。遇事要多替别人考虑，主动伸手帮助那些需要帮助的人。做到助人为乐，要偷快面对生活，不能自寻烦恼。在帮助别人的同时，自己收获快乐，享受生活的乐趣。做到助人为乐，要积极行动起来，不能只说不做。要脚踏实地(be down-to-earth),热情周到地为他人服务，哪怕是简单的小事，也要从一点一滴做起。参考译文：Being ready to help others is one of the finetraditions of Chinese nation.B

32、gs,just start doing them bit by bit.翻译原文：雷锋常常帮助他人，是中国人民解放军(the PeoplesLiberation Army)的模范士兵。他捐钱给贫困家庭，挽救普通人的生命，为战友洗衣服，常以各种方法帮助别人。雷锋倾其一生帮助他人。雷锋牺牲后，毛主席号召人们“向雷锋同志学习”。中国人民了解雷锋，并以他为榜样，雷锋精神永远活在人们心中。自1963年起，每年的三月五日被定为“雷锋日”(Lei Fengs Day)。雷锋精神已经影响了好几代中国人。虽然社会迅猛发展，但雷锋精神将继续在中国社会发挥重要作用。参考译文：Lei Feng was a model

35、 Lei Feng spirit will continue to play a significant role in Chinese society.翻译原文：中国过西方节日的人越来越多了，不同年龄层次的人都有，以年轻人居多。目前，全球化是现代世界的趋势，不仅仅是经济全球化，文化全球化也是其中重要的一部分，也是无法避免的。中国节日强调的是文化意义，集体意识。西方节日强调人与人之间以及每个人内心的体验，例如感恩节(Thanksgiving Day)是唤起人与人之间良好的社会关系、唤起自强不息的民族意识的节日。这样的节日很好地补充了我们国家的节日。这是文化差异，没有好坏之分。参考译文：West

38、nt.Such festivals are good supplement of Chinese festivals.This is just cultural difference between Chinese festivals and Western festivals,and neither can be judged as good or bad.翻译原文：中国水资源地区分布不均匀。总体来讲，南方水资源丰富，北方则水资源匮乏。随着人口的增长和经济的快速发展，北方缺水的问题日益严重，解决办法之一就是跨流域(drainage area)调水，也就是南水北调工程(South-to-Nor

39、th Water Diversion Project)。南水北调工程包括东、中、西三条线路。东线从长江下游引水，沿京杭大运河(Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal)北送，穿过黄河下的管道，向下流入天津附近的水库(reservoir)。中线从长江的支流汉江的丹江口水库引水到北京。西线也被称作“大西线”，目的在于从长江上游引水到黄河上游。参考译文：In China water resources are unevenly distributed.Ingeneral, water resources are abundant in the southbut deficient i

43、安排。网上调查的调查对象中，高达75%的人表示不满这种假期安排，93%的人抱怨假期太短。很多人抱怨负责人的安排，呼吁更合理的假期安排。如果假期是以更繁重的工作任务为代价，那么上班族会无力消受。参考译文：To enjoy a holiday，people often have to work for a whole week previous to it.This arrangement is not just confined to the Labor Day holiday.According to the official schedule each year,office workers
