六級翻譯練習試題原文：古代神話

　　Although ancient Chinese mythology does not have relatively complete plot and mythological figures don't have systematic genealogy, they have distinct features of oriental culture, among which the spirit of esteeming virtue is particularly significant.When compared with Western mythology, especially Greek mythology, this spirit of esteeming virtue is even more prominent.In Western mythology, especially Greek mythology,the criteria for judging whether a god is good or not are mostly the god's wisdom and strength,while in ancient Chinese mythology, the criterion lies in morality. This way of thinking is deeply rooted in Chinese culture.For thousands of years, this spirit of esteeming virtue has affected people's comments on historical figures and expectations of real people.

　　六級翻譯練習試題原文：思鄉

　　思鄉(homesickness)是中國人的一個永恒的話題。從古至今，無論男女，家是他們永久的港灣，思鄉是他們不老的情結(complex)。正是這樣的情結成為中國歷代文人重要的創作題材，并以各種方式，從各種角度加以體現。是故鄉，喚起了他們心靈深處最美好的回憶，在對故鄉的思念中，他們又仿佛回到了那單純無邪的童年時代，回到了母親的懷抱，身心的創傷得到了暫時的平復，精神的空虛得到了剎那的充實,故鄉成了他們終極的歸宿地(ultimate destination)。
