There‟s no way you could ever do it.‟ Then the teacher added, „If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.‟
“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, „Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.‟
UNIT2
When John Adams was President and Thomas Jefferson was Vice President of the
United States, there was not a railroad in all the world. People did not travel very much. There were no broad, smooth highways as there are now. The roads were crooked and muddy and rough. If a man was obliged to go from one city to another, he often rode on horseback. Instead of a trunk for his clothing, he carried a pair of saddlebags. Instead of sitting at his ease in a parlor car, he went jolting along through mud and mire, exposed to wind and weather.

But don't worry; the Chinese government is on it. The English language press in China routinely calls for people to send in examples of Chinglish in an attempt to clear up bad English. Beijing city authorities have issued new translation guides and the booklets have been handed out to hotels and shopping malls, on public transport and at tourist attractions. Authorities have replaced more than 6,500 signs in Beijing that were once gloriously lost in translation. Restaurants are now working from a standardized list, renaming menu items such as Husband and Wife's Lung Slices to Pork Lungs in Chili Sauce. Some scholars believe that Chinglish's days are numbered.

But don't worry; the Chinese government is on it. The English language press in China routinely calls for people to send in examples of Chinglish in an attempt to clear up bad English. Beijing city authorities have issued new translation guides and the booklets have been handed out to hotels and shopping malls, on public transport and at tourist attractions. Authorities have replaced more than 6,500 signs in Beijing that were once gloriously lost in translation. Restaurants are now working from a standardized list, renaming menu items such as Husband and Wife's Lung Slices to Pork Lungs in Chili Sauce. Some scholars believe that Chinglish's days are numbered.

Unit 2
朋友:嗨，汤米，怎么一副无精打采的样子？
Friend: Hi, Tommy. Why are you in such low spirits?
旅馆老板: 甭提了，我简直成了个大傻瓜。
Landlord: Well, it‟s a shame that I‟ve turned myself into a dunce.
朋友：得了吧，常常嘲笑别人是土包子的人怎么可能变成大傻瓜了呢？
Friend: Come on. How could it be? How could a man who often laughs at others for being mossbacks become a dunce?
旅馆老板: 我哪知道一个跟老农一样其貌不扬的人居然是美国副总统啊！
Landlord: How could I know that a rough-looking man like an old farmer would turn out to be the American Vice President?
朋友: 怎么回事？你把他拒之门外了？
Friend: What happened? You turned him away for lodging?
旅馆老板: 可不是嘛，我让他睡谷仓，最后还把他打发到别的旅馆了。
Landlord: Exactly. I offered him the barn for his stay and finally sent him to another hotel.
朋友: 你赶快去负荆请罪，再把人请回来呀。
Friend: Then why don‟t you go to apologize to him at once an fetch him back? 旅馆老板：我刚才去了，可副总统先生不肯原谅我。

Friend: How did you make your apology?
旅馆老板“我说我不该误以为他是老农。
Landlord: I said that I shouldn‟t have mistaken him for an old farmer.
朋友：哪有你这样道歉的？说明你还是看不起农民兄弟。你这叫自作自受，罪有
应得。
Friend: How could you make an apology like that? You did that only to show that you are still looking down upon the farmer brothers. You made the bed and you must lie on it. It serves you right.
旅馆老板：哎——教训啊，教训！
Landlord: Oh, what a lesson, what a lesson!
Unit 6:
哈里： 晚上好，先生！
Harry: Good evening, sir!
白发老人： 晚上好，小伙子！有什么事吗?
Old man: Good evening, boy! What can I do for you?
哈里：很抱歉冒昧打扰您。您知道有谁需要圣诞火鸡吗？
Harry: I‟m sorry to have to trouble you. But do you know anyone who would like a Christmas turkey?
白发老人： 圣诞火鸡？噢，好家伙，看上去很肥美,一定有二十多磅重。
Old man: A Christmas turkey? Oh, boy, it looks fine. It must weigh over twenty pounds.
哈里： 这的确是一只很不错的火鸡，足足有二十二磅重。
Harry: True. It is a fine turkey. It weighs twenty-two pounds.
白发老人： 哦，你是怎么弄到的？买的吗？
Old man: Well, how did you get it? Did you buy it?
哈里： 不是。我抽中了一家餐馆的火鸡奖。
Harry: No. I won a restaurant‟s turkey raffle.
白发老人：那你为什么不留着自己吃呢？或者送给你的朋友？在这里你没有熟人吗？
Old man: Why don‟t you keep it for yourself? Or you may just as well give it to your friends! Isn‟t there anybody you happen to know here?
哈里：我的冰箱太小装不下，我又是单身。我试图把它送给我的几个熟人，可他们要么已经有了火鸡，要么冰箱太满没处放。我知道现在才送来有点晚了，很抱歉。
Harry: It‟s far too big for my small refrigerator. And I‟m a bachelor. I tried in vain on several friends. They have already got either a big turkey or a crowded fridge, and there is no room for mine. It‟s late, I know. I am sorry.
白发老人： 孩子，永远不晚。我认识附近上百家穷人，他们会喜欢一只火鸡的。能告诉我你的名字吗？

哈里：这没关系。
Harry: It doesn‟t matter.
Unit 7:
埃拉：珍妮，我看到中国很多城市的公共场所都有中英文双语指示标牌。
Ella: Janie, I see in many Chinese cities, Chinese-English bilingual signage can be
found in most public places.
珍妮：但是错误英文随处可见，游客站在标示牌前都不知所措。
Janie: Yes, but mistranslated phrases are often seen on those signs. Such mistranslation always makes the tourists at a loss.
埃拉: 中国政府曾经多次试图改变这种状况；不过，这种努力迄今似乎成效 不大。
Ella: The Chinese government has made several attempts to wipe out the bad English on public signs, but has met with little success.
珍妮：一个中文汉字在英文中可能有多种解释，难免菜单上会出现“政府虐待鸡”这样的菜名。
Janie: A Chinese word can be interpreted in multiple ways, making it possible to list on the menu such items as “Government Abuse Chicken”.
埃拉：实际上，据我了解，北京旅游局自2002年起，就已经开设了允许游客和居民举报错误英文翻译的热线。
Ella: In fact, as far as I know, Beijing Tourism Bureau has had a hotline to encourage tourists and residents to send in examples of Chinglish.
珍妮：不过成效并不显著。
Janie: But the attempt has met with little success.
埃拉：这次，北京市政府决定推出统一的翻译规则手册。
Ella: The local authorities of Beijing have issued new standardized translation guides. 珍妮：希望政府能够换掉那些令人捧腹的中式英文指示牌。
Janie: I hope the authorities will replace all those Chinglish signs that were once gloriously lost in translation.
