中國的電影市場一直在髙速發展，但是國產的動畫業(animation industry)卻不盡如人意。去年有33部動畫電影發行，但沒有一部票房(box office)喜人。原因有以下幾點:一是投入少。一部好萊塢動畫電影在放映和電影特技上的花費要超過其一半的預算。但在中國，這些通常只占10%。二是故事情節單一。目前中國很難有超過1億票房的動畫電影。內部人士稱電影情節無趣是票房過低的罪魁禍首。此外，薪酬較低，要找一個好編劇(scriptwriter)也很困難。

　　參考翻譯:

　　China's film market has been developing at a high speed, but China's animation industry is not to our satisfaction. Last year, 33 animation films were released, none of which did well at the box office. The reasons are as follows: firstly, the low investment. A Hollywood animation film spends more than half of its budget on screening and special effects, which, however, in China, usually accounts for only 10%. Secondly, the tedious plot. Currently, few animation films in China can achieve more than 0.1 billion yuan at the box office. According to the insiders, boring plot is the main reason for low box office. Besides, its hard to find a good scriptwriter with low payment.

　　翻譯詳解：

　　1.一直在高速發展:“一直”可用現在完成時表達，故譯為have been developing at a tremendous speed。

　　2.不盡如人意:即“不能令人滿意”，可譯為not to oursatisfaction。反之，“令人滿意”則譯為to one'ssatisfaction。

　　3.票房:固定譯法為box office。

　　4.投入少:即“低投資”，可譯為low investment。

　　5.放映和電影特技:可譯為screening and special effects。

　　6.罪魁禍首:即“主要原因”，可譯為main reason。

　　英語六級翻譯模擬練習：中國農業

　　農業是中國的重要產業。中國的農業產居世界首位，主要出產大米、小麥、土豆、花生、茶葉和棉花。盡管中國的可耕地(arable land)僅占世界的10%,但是中國卻為世界上20%的人口提供糧食。由于中國是發展中國家且可耕地嚴重匱乏，中國的農業一直是勞動密集型(labor-intensive)。中國政府密切關注農業，加大投資力度，積極開展灌溉和水資源保護，以提髙農業生產的現代化水平，使得中國各類農產品的產品迅速增加。然而，由于人口眾多，人均農產品產量很低。

　　參考翻譯:
