城隍廟
中 國的很多城鎮(zhèn)都有自己的'城隍爺(Cheng-huang god)來保護(hù)。許多城隍爺來源于他們所保護(hù)的城鎮(zhèn)的真實(shí)人物。這些人物在世時(shí)很有名。當(dāng)敵人襲擊他們時(shí)，城隍爺會保護(hù)城鎮(zhèn)的城墻，還會確保閻王爺 (the King of the Dead)不經(jīng)他的允許不能帶走任何人的靈魂。如果城鎮(zhèn)里有人在做壞事，城隍爺就會托夢告訴你是誰在做壞事,這樣你就可以阻止他們了。
參考翻譯:
Many towns in China had their own Cheng-huang gods to protect the towns.Many of Cheng-huang gods were based on real men from the towns they protected.These men had been well known while they were alive.Cheng-huang gods protected the walls of the town when enemies were attacking the town.He also made sure the King of the Dead didn't take any souls away without his permission.If anyone was doing anything bad in the town,Cheng-huang god would appear in your dream and make a request,telling you who it was,then you could stop them.
翻譯講解：
1.許多城隍爺來源于他們所保護(hù)的城鎮(zhèn)的真實(shí)人物:該句關(guān)鍵在于“來源于”的翻譯，這里要表達(dá)的意思是“某形象根據(jù)真實(shí)人物來塑造”，故可譯為sb.be based on sb.。
2.當(dāng)敵人襲擊他們時(shí)，城隍爺會保護(hù)城鎮(zhèn)的城墻，還會確保閻王爺不經(jīng)他的允許不能帶走任何人的靈魂: 該句偏長，可以翻譯為兩個(gè)句子。第一句即“當(dāng)敵人襲擊他們時(shí)，城隍爺會保護(hù)城鎮(zhèn)的城墻”，其中后半部分可譯為主句，前半部分可譯為以when引導(dǎo)的狀語從 句;“確保”可譯為made sure,“不經(jīng)他的允許”可譯為without his permission，“帶走任何人的靈魂可以用take短語來表示，即take any souls away。
蠟染
據(jù) 說在中國,蠟染(wax printing)早在秦末或者漢初就已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)，但它最初作為成品出現(xiàn)是在唐朝。蠟染是“絲綢之路”的商品之一，這些商品被出口到歐洲和其他地方。蠟染在 中國是代代傳承下來的。它是苗族(Miao ethnic minority)獨(dú)特的繪畫和手工染色工藝。作為中國最具有民族特色的藝術(shù)之一，蠟染產(chǎn)品的種類很多，有墻上掛飾、郵包、書包、桌套等等。
【參考翻譯】
It is believed that wax printing appeared in China as early as the late Qin or early Han Dynasty, but it first occurred as a finished product during the Tang Dynasty. It was one of “the Silk Road" goods that were exported to Europe and elsewhere.Wax printing has been passed down from generation to generation in China. It is a unique drawing and dyeing handwork of the Miao ethnic minority. As one of the most characteristic national arts in China, wax printing products are various including wall hangings, letter bags, bags, table-clothes and so on.
