參考譯文：

　　Being ready to help others is one of the fine traditions of Chinese nation.By helping others，one not only offered help to others,but also expressed one kind of self-respect.To help others,one should give up selfishness and shouldn't consider his own interest all the time.Think more of others and initiatively give a hand to those that need help.To be ready to help others,one should live happily and avoid asking for trouble.When helping others, one can get happiness at the same time and enjoy the pleasure of life.To be ready to help others,one should take action actively instead of just saying it.Be down-to-earth, and offer service to others with passion.Even for the simple things,just start doing them bit by bit.

　　1.體現了一種自尊:可譯為express one kind of self-respect。

　　2.擯棄私心雜念:“擯棄”可譯為give up，也可用abandon或get rid of表達。“私心雜念”可理解為“自私”，因此可簡單譯為selfishness。

　　3.主動伸手幫助那些需要幫助的人:可譯為initiatively givea hand to those that need help。

　　4.自尋煩惱:可譯為ask for trouble。ask for有“自找”的意思。

　　選秀(draft),指選拔在某方面表現優秀的人。中國自古就有，古代選秀一般是宮廷選秀。從2004年《超級女聲》開始，大眾選秀節目開始進入我們的視線，這類幾乎“零門檻(zero ofthreshold)”的選秀活動讓所有人都有機會成為明星。之后的《好男兒》、《快樂男聲》、《我型我秀》還有《中國好聲音》等等選秀活動一一登場，幾乎一刻都沒有讓中國的電視觀眾閑著。通過這些選秀活動，很多有才能的 “平民百姓”實現了自己的夢想，走上了星光大道(avenue of stars)。

　　打車難已經成為大城市人們生活中較為普遍的問題。城市人口規模的擴大，人類社會活動的不斷多元(diversification)化都增加了對出租車的需求。隨著城市交通擁堵狀況不斷加劇，為避免堵車影響收人，上下班高峰時段很多司機不愿意跑擁堵路段和主城區，導致市民在一些交通樞紐、商業中心、醫院附近很難打到出租車。城市建設影響了出租車的使用效率。出租車行業不規范，拒載行為屢屢發生，這也是導致打車難的人為因素。

　　參考譯文：

　　It has been a common problem in large city residents' life that it's hard to take a taxi. The increase of urban population and diversification of social activities make the demand for taxi rise. As the traffic jam becomes worse in cities，to guarantee personal income, many taxi drivers refuse to drive on busy roads and main urban areas, which makes it difficult for many citizens to take a taxi near some transportation junctions, commercial centers and hospitals. City construction affects the efficiency of taxi. Being not standard in the taxi industry and taxi drivers' often refusing to take passengers are the human factors that make it difficult to take a taxi.

　　1.打車難:可譯為it's hard to take a taxi,作為problem的同位語，意義表達清楚自然。

　　2.增加了對出租車的需求:可譯為make the demand fortaxi rise。

　　3.為避免堵車影響收入:可靈活地譯為to guaranteepersonal income。采用逆向譯法，上下文反復出現“堵車”這個詞，所以可以省略。

　　4.出租車行業不規范，拒載行為屢屢發生:這里是說明原因，為了句式簡明，可以處理為動名詞和獨立主格的形式，直接充當句子主語。

　　5.人為因素:可譯為human factor。
