【答案解析】

　　Harmony

　　Harmony is derived from the inner heart of people.Wholesome personality and sound mentality are concerned not only with the harmony of individual's mind and body,but also with the social harmony and stability.A mentally disturbed and imbalanced person infatuated with anxiety ,oppression or even hatred tends to make things difficult for himself and also finds it difficult to get along with his surroundings,it is impossible to have harmony in his life.Only a calm mind can ensure an even temper;and only the inner harmony can make one get along smoothly.Therefore,we should think with a calm mind,with more rationality and less sensitivity,more wit and less confusion,more calmness and less fickleness,more indifference and less obsession,more generosity and less prejudice.

　　分析:

　　一個內心失調、失衡的人，一個心中充溢著焦躁、郁悶甚至仇恨的人，往往自己會同自己過不去，還會同周圍環境過不去，人生是無法和諧得起來的。

　　本句很長，如果譯成一個句子，會造成英文太過于復雜，因此把同前面的意思銜接不是很緊密的部分“人生是無法和諧得起來的”另起一句。同時注意“同自己過不去”的翻譯方法，譯成“make things difficult for himself”。

　　英語四級翻譯模擬練習二：

　　家長們對學前教育期望值過高，導致了托兒所費用的水漲船高。很多父母均認同這樣一種看法：如今每個家庭都是一個孩子，于是一些托兒所利用家長“望子成龍”(“望女成鳳”)的心態，“投其所好”，想方設法推出各種名目的學前教育計劃和培養目標，無形中，也大大增加了家長的投入。

　　【答案解析】

　　答案：

　　Parents' overestimate to the preshcool education leads to the rising charges of nursery schools accordingly.Many parents believe the fact that each family has only one child,parents simply hope their son or daughter become somebody in the future,therefore,some nursery schools cater to these parents' thought and introduce various kinds of perschool plans and fostering objectives which add virtually to the parents' financial burden.

　　分析:

　　家長們對學前教育期望值過高，導致了托兒所費用的水漲船高。

　　如果把“家長們對學前教育期望值過高”翻譯成一個句子，那就會造成句子比較松散，因此這里處理成名詞結構，作主語: Parents' overestimate to the preshcool education.同時注意“水漲船高”的意思是“相應的增長”，因此譯成: rising charges of nursery schools accordingly。
