Translation from English into Chinese
15 1. There is a clear distinction between one who is supposed to know and another, usually a younger person who is supposed not to know. However, teaching is not necessarily the area of a special group of people, nor should it be looked upon as a technical skill. Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcing information into a blank mind. If you have a certain skill, you should be able to share it with others. You do not have to get a certificate to convey what you know to them or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves. All of us, from the very youngest children to the oldest members of our society, should come to realize our own talent and abilities as teachers. We can share what we know, however little it might be, with others who have need of that knowledge or skill.(2006年4月)
在应该懂得和应该不懂得之间存在着一个清楚的区别,通常一个年轻人是应该不懂得的,然而,教育对这群特殊的人们是不一定的 ,也不能使他们具有一项看上去作为技能的东西.教育比面对信息而脑子里一片空白要更有帮助和指导.如果你有一定的技能,你就能和其他人来分享它.你没有获得一项证书来证实在他们企图教育自己时你了解他们或能帮助他们.我们所有人,包括我们的社会中从最小到最老的人,应该能意识到我们自己的才能和做为教师的能力.我们能够分享我们懂得的,即使少的也能够,那些我们需要的其他的知识和技能.
这篇短文有些难度,红色标注处译得不是很恰当,尤其是前面几句,注意几个重点短语:be supposed to;looked upon A as B;more … than :与其…不如…,是…而不是…
并且要注意句子的完整性,不能随便断句或修饰关系的搞乱.
20 2. When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation.
For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then predicts the situation, acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn't sure how it will work out, but at least he tries. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn't feel ashamed that he has failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how to fit into it.(2002年4月)
