请将下面这段话翻译成英文:

火锅

火锅中,重庆火锅(hotpot)最著名,也最受欢迎。重庆人认为以麻辣 (peppery and hot)著称的火锅是当地特色。人们喜欢围在用木炭(charcoal)、 电热或天然气加热的火锅旁边吃边聊美味和有营养的食物。人们可以选择辣汤、清汤以及鸳鸯(combo)锅底,再将肉片、鱼片、各种豆腐产品和蔬菜加进火锅,之后蘸上特制酱料即可食用。在寒冷的冬天里,吃火锅成为一件惬意十足的事情。

参考翻译:

1.以…著称:可译为be noted for。noted作形容词,表示“著名的,显著的”,同样的搭配还有be noted as,表示“作为…而著名”。两个词组有区别,使用时需要注意。

  

2.当地特色:可译为local specialty。specialty可以表示“特产,招牌菜”。

 

3.选择:可译为have a choice of,表示“有…选择”。也可以用动词choose。

 

4.酱料:可译为sauce。

 

5.惬意十足的:即“令人愉悦的”,译为delightful或pleasing。

 

请将下面这段话翻译成英文:

中医

中医(Traditional Chinese Medicine )有五千多年的历史,是中国古代劳动人民几千年来对抗疾病的经验总结。中医将人体看成是气、形、神的统一体,以“望、闻(auscultationand olfaction)、问、切”为其独特的诊断过程。 中医使用中药、针灸(acupuncture)以及许多其他治疗手段,使人体达到阴阳调和。阴阳和五行是中医的理论基础。五行是自然界中的五种基本物质,即金、木、水、火、土。

 

参考翻译:

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a longhistory of more than 5,000 years. It is a summaryof the experience of the working people over manycenturies of struggle against diseases. TCM considershuman body as a unity of QI, XING and SHEN. The diagnostic process of TCM distinguishesitself by “observation,auscultation and olfaction, inquiry and pulse diagnosis”. TCM usestraditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and many other treatment means to make humanbody be harmony between YIN and YANG. The concepts of YIN-YANG and WU XING laid atheoretical foundation for TCM. WU XING refers to five basic substances in the nature, thatis, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

  

1.气、形、神的统一体:“气、形、神”这种中文词汇在英文中鲜有恰当的词汇与之对应,翻译成拼音即可;“统一体”可译为unity。

  

2.望、闻、问、切:“望”即“观察”,可译为observation;“闻”有“听”的意思,也有“嗅”的意思,在中医里也是如此,原文里已经给出提示,译为 auscultationand olfaction; “问”即“询问”,翻译为 inquiry; “切” 指“诊脉”,翻译为pulse diagnosis。

 

3.阴阳调和:即阴阳平衡,可译为make YIN and YANG in equilibrium或者 be harmony betweenYIN and YANG。

 

4.金:五行中的“金”不是“金子”,而是“金属”之意,所以要翻译成metal, 而不要译成gold。
