　　2017年CET4翻譯每日一練：市場經濟

　　翻譯原文：

　　中國市場經濟的發展而迅速增長。因此，那些追求物質生活的人們只要有購買力，就不可避免地會購買奢侈品。一項報告顯示，中國的奢侈品消費總額占全球市場份額的四分之一，且位居世界第二，僅次于日本。然而，從消費觀念方面來講，很多中國的消費者還處在“炫耀性消費”的階段，這是一種不健康的狀態。奢侈品不應該是炫耀的手段，或者是與權力、財富和社會關系相關的標志。

　　【翻譯詞匯】 　　大規模消費時代 an era of mass consumption 　　追求物質生活 pursue material life 　　購買力 purchasing power 　　因此 therefore 　　奢侈品 luxury 　　占 account for 　　市場份額 market share 　　從…來講 in regard to 　　炫耀性消費 conspicuous consumption 　　炫耀 show off 　　與…相關 be associated with 　　社會關系 social tie

　　參考譯文： 　　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 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 consumption”, which is unhealthy. Luxuries should not be the tools of showing off or signs associated with power, wealth and social ties.

　　2017年CET4翻譯每日一練：丁克家族

　　中國有一句俗語叫做“不孝有三，無后為大”。但現在，很多時尚的年輕夫婦選擇不生育孩子的生活方式，組建了丁克家庭。很多夫妻擔心無法給孩子提供優越的生活條件，選擇成為丁克家庭。現在，孩子的教育費用比過去高很多。在大城市，送孩子上好一點的幼兒園要花費巨資，重點中小學的學費更高。還有一些夫妻成為丁克家庭是迫不得已。當他們做好準備生育孩子時，已經錯過了最佳生育年齡。

　　譯文：

　　A popular saying has it that “There are three forms of unfilial conduct, of which the worst is to have no descendants.”But now, it is quite fashionable for many young couples to choose a lifestyle without kids and organize the DINK family. Some couples who choose DINK family are fearful that they cannot provide favourable living conditions for children. Nowadays, the cost of educating a child is much higher than that of the past. In a big city, to send a child to a better kindergarten takes a large amount of money and the key primary or secondary schools are even more expensive. Some couples who have chosen DINK family are obliged to do so. When they make preparations for having a baby, it is a pity that they have missed the most fertile years.
