1、第三部分翻譯全真試題1996年專八翻譯真題(原文) 近讀報(bào)紙,對(duì)國內(nèi)名片和請(qǐng)柬的議論頗多,于是想起客居巴黎時(shí)經(jīng)常見到的法國人手中的名片和請(qǐng)柬,隨筆記下來,似乎不無借鑒之處。 在巴黎,名目繁多的酒會(huì)、冷餐會(huì)是廣交朋友的好機(jī)會(huì)。在這種場(chǎng)合陌生人相識(shí),如果是亞洲人,他們往往開口之前先畢恭畢敬地用雙手把自己的名片呈遞給對(duì)方,這好像是不可缺少的禮節(jié)。然而,法國人一般卻都不大主動(dòng)遞送名片,雙方見面寒喧幾句甚至海闊天空地聊一番也就各自走開。只有當(dāng)雙方談話投機(jī),希望繼續(xù)交往時(shí),才會(huì)主動(dòng)掏出名片。二話不說先遞名片反倒有些勉強(qiáng)?! 》▏说拿v究樸素大方,印制精美,但很少有鑲金邊兒的,閃光多色的或帶
2、香味兒的,名片上的字體纖細(xì)秀麗,本人的名字也不過分突出,整張紙片上空白很大,毫無擁擠不堪的感覺。(參考譯文) Inreadingrecentnewspapers,IhavecometofindthatpeopleinChinahavebecomemoreandmoreinterestedindiscussingaboutnamecardsandinvitationletters.ThishastriggeredmyreminiscencesofthenamecardsandinvitationlettersoftheFrenchpeoplethatIsawwhenIwasresidi
