遙想長安
長安，今稱西安，是唐朝的都城。唐朝時期的長安約比今天的西安大11倍，是具有國際聲譽的大都市(metropolis)。長安的街道和住宅設(shè)計得像一個棋盤，東西布局整潔、勻稱。長安城內(nèi)，很多街道的寬度都超過了100米。長安也是當時中國的文化中心，有豐富多樣的娛樂活動，如音樂、舞蹈、斗雞(cock fighting)等。很多日本和朝鮮的學(xué)生紛紛來到長安學(xué)習(xí)，中亞的商人經(jīng)絲綢之路(the Silk Road) 聚集在此。長安城約100萬人口之中，外國人就超過了1萬戶。
參考譯文：
Chang'an，now called Xi'an，was the capital city of the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was nearly eleven times as large as today's Xi'an，and was a metropolis with an international reputation. The streets and residences of Chang'an were designed like a chessboard, with neat and well-proportioned layout of the east and west.Lots of streets and avenues inside the city were over 100 meters wide.Chang'an was also the cultural center of China at that time，with rich and colorful entertainment activities such as music，dancing,cock fighting，etc.Many students from Japan and Korea came to study in Chang'an，and merchants from Central Asia went along the Silk Road to gather there.Among the population of about one million in Chang'an，there were more than 10,000 foreign households.
詞句點撥
1.今稱西安:作為同位語，可譯為now called Xi'an，也可以說now known as Xi'an。
2.具有國際聲譽的大都市:可譯為a metropolis with an international reputation。
3.設(shè)計得像一個棋盤:可譯為be designed like a chessboard。
4.布局:可譯為layout。“東西布局”即 layout of the east and west。
5.勻稱:可譯為well-proportioned或well-balanced。
6.寬度都超過了100米:可譯為over 100 meters wide 或over 100 meters in width。

動人的古代神話
盡管中國古代神話(mythology)沒有十分完整的情節(jié)，神話人物也沒有系統(tǒng)的家譜(genealogy)，但它們卻有著鮮明的東方文化特色，其中尤為顯著的是它的尚德精神(the spirit of esteeming virtue)。這種尚德精神在與西方神話特別是希臘神話比較時，顯得更加突出。在西方神話尤其是希臘神話中，對神的褒貶標準多以智慧、力量為準則，而中國古代神話對神的褒貶則多以道德為準繩。這種思維方式深植于中國的文化之中。幾千年來，這種尚德精神影響著人們對歷史人物的品評與現(xiàn)實人物的期望。
參考譯文：
Although ancient Chinese mythology does not have relatively complete plot and mythological figures don't have systematic genealogy, they have distinct features of oriental culture, among which the spirit of esteeming virtue is particularly significant.When compared with Western mythology, especially Greek mythology, this spirit of esteeming virtue is even more prominent.In Western mythology, especially Greek mythology,the criteria for judging whether a god is good or not are mostly the god's wisdom and strength,while in ancient Chinese mythology, the criterion lies in morality. This way of thinking is deeply rooted in Chinese culture.For thousands of years, this spirit of esteeming virtue has affected people's comments on historical figures and expectations of real people.
詞句點撥
1.神話人物:可譯為mythological figures。
2.系統(tǒng)的家譜:可譯為systematic genealogy。其中systematic意為系統(tǒng)的，是system的形容詞形式。
3.其中尤為顯著的是它的尚德精神:將此句譯為定語從句among which the spirit of esteeming virtue is particularly significant,承接前一句，可以使譯文結(jié)構(gòu)更加緊湊，邏輯更加清晰。
