三、翻譯真題及答案翻譯（一）梅花（plumblossom）位居中國十大名花之首，源于中國南方，已經(jīng)有三千多年栽培和種植歷史。隆冬時節(jié)，五顏六色梅花不畏嚴寒，迎著風雪傲然綻放。在中國傳統(tǒng)文化中，梅花象征著堅強、純潔、高雅、激勵人們不畏艱難、砥礪前行。自古以來，許多詩人和畫家從梅花中獲取靈感，創(chuàng)作了無數(shù)不朽作品。普通大眾也都喜愛梅花，春節(jié)期間慣用于家庭裝飾。南京市已將梅花定為市花，每年舉行梅花節(jié)，成千上萬人冒著嚴寒到梅花山踏雪賞梅。（192字/6句話）參考譯文：PlumblossomranksthefirstamongtenfamousflowersinChina.ItoriginatedinSouthernChinaandhasahistoryofmorethan3,000yearsofcultivationandplanting.Inthemiddleofwinter,plumblossomsindifferentcolorsbravethecoldandsnowinfullbloom.IntraditionalChineseculture,plumblossomssymbolizestrength,purity,andelegance,whichencouragepeopletofacehardshipandforgeahead.Sinceancienttimes,manypoetsandpaintershavetakeninspirationfromplumblossomsandcreatednumerousimmortalworks.Thegeneralpublicalsolikesplumblossoms.DuringtheSpringFestival,plumblossomsareoftenusedforhomedecoration.AndthecityofNanjinghasdesignatedtheplumblossomasitscityflower.Eachyear,aplumblossomfestivalwillbeheldandthousandsofpeoplewillbravethecoldtovisitthePlumBlossomMountaintoenjoythesceneofsnowandplumblossoms.牡丹花色艷麗，形象高雅，象征著和平和繁榮，因而在中國被稱為“花中之王”。中國許多地方都培育和種植牡丹。千百年來，創(chuàng)造了許多詩歌和繪畫贊美牡丹。唐代時期，牡丹在皇家園林普遍種植并被譽為國花，因而尤其風靡。十世紀時，洛陽古城稱為牡丹栽培中心，而且這一地位一直保持到今天?，F(xiàn)在，成千上萬國內(nèi)游客蜂擁到洛陽參加一年一度牡丹街，觀賞洛陽牡丹獨特之美，同時探索九朝古都歷史。參考譯文：Peony,whichfeaturesbrightcolourandgracefulshape,symbolizespeaceandprosperityandisthuswellrecognizedas"kingofflowers".PeoniesarecultivatedandgrowninmanyplacesofChina.Forthousandsofyears,agreatnumberofpoemsandpaintingshavebeenproducedtopraisetheflower.IntheTangDynasty,peonieswereplantedsowidelyintheroyalgardensas"thenationalflower"thattheyenjoyedgreatpopularityacrossthecountry.Inthe10thcentury,theancientcityofLuoyangbecamethecentreofpeonyplanting,andhasremainedassuchsincethen.Nowadays,hundredsofthousandsofdomestictouristspourinLuoyangfortheannualpeonyfestival,whentheycanbothappreciatetheuniquebeautyoftheflowersandexplorethehistoryofthecitywhichisknownasthecapitalofsixdynasties.翻譯（三）荷花是中國名花之一，深受人們喜愛。中國許多地方湖泊和池塘都適宜荷花生長。荷花色彩鮮艷，夏日清晨綻放，夜晚閉合，花期長達兩三個月，吸引來自各地游客前往觀賞。荷花具備多個功效，既能綠化水面，又能美化庭園，還可凈化水質(zhì)、降低污染、改進環(huán)境。荷花迎驕陽而不懼，出污泥而不染，象征純潔、高雅，常來比喻人高尚品德，一向是詩人畫家創(chuàng)作主要題材。荷花盛開地方也是許多攝影興趣者經(jīng)常光臨之地。參考翻譯：AsoneofthemostrenownedflowersinChina,Lotus,withitswidedistributioninpondsandlakesalloverthecountry,hasalwaysbeenbelovedbyChinesepeople.Lotusfeaturesbrightcolors.Itblossomsfromdawntoduskinsummerandthefloweringphaselastsfor2or3months,whichattractstouristsfromacrossthecountrytoappreciateitsbeauty.Lotushasvariousfunctions,suchasgreeningwaters,embellishingthecourtyards.Itcanalsohelptopurifythewaterquality,reducepollutionandimproveenvironment.Lotus,whichfearlesslybravesthesunandcomesoutofthemudunsoiled,hasbeenasymbolofpurityandelegancethatrepresentspeople’snoblemorals.Forthisreason,ithasbecomeavitalthemeintheworksfrompoetsandpaintersofalltime.Theplaceswherelotusbloomsalsobecomethescenicattractionstomanyp
