学有余力的同学还可以分享景点中其他的翻译。附加分8分
Introduction to Tourist Attractions in the Region
赏析："全域旅游" 的中文意思是全面、全方位的旅游，通常指一个地区或城市整体的旅游资源开发和推广，而非单一景点的介绍，这里直译为"all-for-one tourism" 保留了这个全面的概念。
Enjoy Ji Mountain and the Clear Water, Explore the Millennium Ancient City
赏析：基本传达了原文的主要信息，提到了要欣赏的地点和活动，我觉得后半句翻译为Journey through a Millennium of History会更加生动灵活。
"The Daya Mausoleum Scenic Area"
The Daya Mausoleum, formerly known as the Yu Xue (Yu's Tomb), is the burial place of the legendary Chinese hero, Yu the Great. Situated at the foothills of Kuaiji Mountain, overlooking the Yu Pond, it is located in the southeastern outskirts of Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City. It is approximately six kilometers away from the city center. In 1996, it was designated as a national key cultural heritage protection unit by the State Council. Yu the Great, a hero from ancient times, was renowned for his efforts in flood control and was the founding emperor of the first Chinese dynasty, the Xia Dynasty, making him revered as the "founder of the nation." Kuaiji Mountain, an ancient renowned mountain, was listed as one of the Nine Famous Mountains in ancient China in the "Li Ji" (Book of Rites) under the section "Xia Guan Zhi Fang Shi."
赏析：下面这句翻译的句子结构感觉略长，简化以下我觉得更好“Dayu is a water-governance hero of the remote ages, and a monarch that founded the Xia Dynasty as the first dynasty of China, reputed as the "Ancestor founding the State by descendants."
East Lake Scenic Area"
East Lake is located approximately five kilometers east of Shaoxing City and is renowned for its picturesque mountains, beautiful waters, unique rocks, and mysterious caves. The clever combination of cliffs, caves, stone bridges, and the lake surface has made it a famous garden, ranking among the three famous lakes in Zhejiang Province. In ancient times, during the eastern tour of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he provided fodder for his horses here, giving the lake its name, East Lake.
Although East Lake is small in size, its unique scenery created by extraordinary rocks and caves has earned it a reputation as a rare "wonder in the lake" widely recognized by the tourism industry.
赏析：
优点：译文中使用诸多词汇如"beautiful mountains"、"charming water"、"strange rocks"和"serene caves"来形容东湖的特色，将景区的美丽和奇特传达的十分到位。
不足：
拼写错误："samll" 应为"small"，"ans" 应为"and"，"toursim" 应为"tourism"。
不够地道："personnel from the tourism industry" 可以更自然地表达为"people in the tourism industry"。
第三次作业：地理
要求：借鉴如下英文译文，翻译自己的版本，体会汉译英时候中英思维方式的不同，恰当地使用合译、省译和语序调整等，提高译文的质量。
原文：中国地处亚洲东部，是世界上人口最多的国家。它地域辽阔，960万平方公里的土地上高山耸峙，大河奔流，湖泊如境，丘陵起伏，平原无垠，盆地肥沃。中华民族是勤劳智慧的民族，历来依靠自己的力量办自己的事情。作为世界四大文明古国之一，中国有着悠久的历史和灿烂的文明。历史为今人留下了令人惊叹不已的文化遗产，其中珍贵文物、名胜古迹、雄伟建筑等不胜校举。无论是从文学思想还是到科学、技术、政治和军事方面，各个历史时期都见证了其伟大成就对世界的贡献。中国文明的历史本身就是奇迹的历史。

第四次作业： 绍兴打造“文学之城”
翻译如下文章： 并总结其中的难点和你的解决方法
绍兴打造“文学之城”
今年是唐代诗人贺知章逝世1270周年。19日上午，由市文联、市文艺评论家协会主办的“乡情诗风”——纪念贺知章逝世1270周年暨绍兴诗歌创作与发展研讨会在绍兴举行。研讨会上，省、市诗歌研究专家、诗人等共同为绍兴诗歌的创作与发展把脉。
贺知章早年迁居山阴(今绍兴市)，少时即以诗文知名，更是浙江历史上第一位有资料记载的状元，其中，《咏柳》《回乡偶书》两首诗歌脍炙人口、千古传诵。与会专家表示，我们要进一步挖掘先贤贺知章身上的文化内涵，进一步做好传承与发展的文章，共同推进绍兴诗歌的繁荣和发展，进而打造“文学之城”。
记者从研讨会中了解到，绍兴将引进、培养专业的“文学人才”，为人才创造良好的创作条件。“绍兴是文学家鲁迅的故乡，每年都有百万余人来绍兴‘朝圣’，因此绍兴本身就具有文学的底蕴，具备‘文学之城’的基础条件。”与会专家表示。

译文"Shaoxing Builds a 'City of Literature'"
This year marks the 1270th anniversary of the death of He Zhizhang, a poet from the Tang Dynasty. On the morning of the 19th, a seminar titled "Hometown Poetry Style" to commemorate the 1270th anniversary of He Zhizhang's death and discuss the creation and development of Shaoxing poetry was held in Shaoxing, organized by the City Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the City Literary Critics Association. Experts in poetry research from the province and city, along with poets, gathered at the seminar to diagnose and discuss the progress and development of Shaoxing's poetry.
He Zhizhang, who moved to Shanyin (now Shaoxing City) in his early years, was famous for his poetry and prose from a young age. He is also recorded as the first top-scorer in the Imperial Examinations in the history of Zhejiang. His poems, such as "Ode to the Willow" and "Casual Writings on Returning Home," are widely known and have been passed down through the ages. The experts attending the meeting expressed that further exploration of the cultural connotations embodied by He Zhizhang and the continuance and development of his legacy are essential for the prosperity and development of Shaoxing's poetry, ultimately contributing to the creation of a "City of Literature."
Journalists learned from the seminar that Shaoxing plans to introduce and nurture professional "literary talents," creating favorable conditions for their creative work. "Shaoxing is the hometown of the literary giant Lu Xun. Every year, more than a million people visit Shaoxing for a 'pilgrimage', thus Shaoxing inherently possesses a literary foundation, meeting the basic conditions for becoming a 'City of Literature,'" the experts stated.
Summary and Challenges:
The article discusses Shaoxing's initiative to become a "City of Literature," commemorating the 1270th anniversary of the death of Tang Dynasty poet He Zhizhang. The challenges in translating this article include accurately conveying the cultural and historical context, especially the significance of He Zhizhang and his works, and the concept of a "City of Literature." I addressed these challenges by providing contextual information about He Zhizhang and the literary significance of Shaoxing, ensuring that the translation maintained the cultural essence of the original text.
挑战与举措
针对翻译文章里关于中国文学史上的重要人物贺知章，以及与绍兴相关的“文学之都”概念，在翻译时需要提供贺知章的额外背景，以此强调他的历史重要性和文学贡献，并且无论是在历史上还是在研讨会的背景下，都需要对绍兴作为文学中心的意义阐释。
类似“文学之城“（文学之城）和”状元“（科举状元）具有特定的文化内涵，我在翻译这些术语时保留了它们的原意，确保不熟悉中国文化的读者能够理解它们的意义。
贺知章诗题的翻译咏柳“和”回乡偶书”不仅需要直接翻译，还需要传达诗歌的精髓，我翻译标题《柳树颂》和《归乡随笔》的方式保留了它们的含义，又尽量平衡到英语读者的情感共鸣。
第五次作业理解当代中国用英文讲述如下外婆坑致富的故事，并评价原译文不妥的地方。
The Thirty Years of the Mountains, the Family, and the Man
Ladies and gentlemen，Today, I’d like to share with you a story about a small mountain village, a family, and a man who has changed over the past thirty years.
女士们、先生们：今天我想和大家分享一个故事，一个关于一座小山村、一户家庭、一个人过去三十年变化的故事。
This village, called "Waipokeng", sits in Jingling Town, Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. There is a normal peasant family surnamed Lin here.
这个小山村名叫“外婆坑村”，位于浙江省绍兴市新昌县镜岭镇，这里有一户姓林的普通农民家庭。
In 1956, China completed the transformation of socialist public ownership and began to carry out socialist construction in an all-around way. A boy named Lin Jinren was born here. He is the fourth child in the family. Because of extreme poverty, his family lived on government food aid for nine months every year.
1956年，中国完成社会主义公有制改造，开始全面进行社会主义建设，一个叫林金仁的男孩出生在这里，他是家里的第4个孩子。因为极端贫困，这个家庭每年有9个月靠领取政府救济粮度日。
In 1971, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the whole country was self-reliant and worked hard. Lin Jinren, who graduated from junior high school, left his hometown and went to a strange city to make a living alone, with his parents' entrustment to "eat enough and have a family".
1971年，举国上下在党的领导下，自力更生，艰苦奋斗。初中毕业的林金仁，带着父母“吃饱饭、成个家”的嘱托，离开了家乡，到陌生的城市独自谋生。
In 1990, the spring breeze of reform and opening-up, and socialist modernization blew into the village. Waipokeng Village, with an annual per capita income of less than 90 yuan, also wanted to become rich. As the only "ten-thousand-yuan- household" in the village, Lin Jinren was elected by the villagers as director of the village committee.
1990年，改革开放和社会主义现代化建设的春风吹到了村里，人均年收入只有不到90元的外婆坑村也想致富，作为村里唯一的“万元户”，林金仁被村民推选为村委会主任。
Therefore, Lin Jinren came back to the home he had always dreamed of, with his wife and three young children, as well as the hard-earned 60,000 yuan in his arms.
就这样，怀揣着辛苦赚来的6万元，35岁的林金仁被请回了村里，带着妻子和3个孩子回到了这个令他魂牵梦萦的家。
At the time, in Waipokeng Village, 80 households had 40 bachelors. Lin Jinren wanted the villagers to go out and have a look. He thought, "I must find a way out of the mountains for my people!"
这时的外婆坑村，80户人家有40个单身汉，林金仁想让乡亲们多出去走走看看，他寻思：得问山要出路。
This year, he made 86 visits to the county capital to raise funds for road construction. In just one year, he wore out three pairs of Jiefang shoes by walking 20 kilometers each time back and forth. The governor of Zhejiang province came. Lin Jinren patted his chest, made his pledge, and led the whole village- men, women, and children- to work from dawn to dusk to open up the road in only 60 days.
这一年，他86次来回县城落实修路资金，每次徒步20公里，一年时间跑破了3双解放鞋。省长来了，林金仁冲省长拍了胸脯，立下军令状，然后带着全村男女老少起早贪黑赶工，用60天时间把公路打通了。
Two years later, the entire road was completed. This year, 29 bachelors who went out to work came back with their wives. But what do people do for a living when they return? Lin Jinren looked out at the rolling mountains and thought, “I must make a living from the mountains for my people!”He took the villagers up the mountain to clear the wasteland and planted tea trees.
两年后，公路全线竣工。这一年，出去打工的单身汉们带回了29个媳妇，可是，人来了干些什么呢？望着周围绵延起伏的大山，林金仁寻思：得问山要生计。他带着村民上山开荒，种起了茶树。
By selling tea year after year, Lin Jinren's family bought the first car in the village in 2003. This year, the average annual income of the village reached 4,500 yuan.
年复一年，靠着卖茶叶，2003年，林金仁家里买了全村第一台小汽车，这一年，村里人均年收入达到了4500元。
Lin Jinren encouraged the villagers to set up a tea cooperative. The tea grown by each household was packaged and sold together. The tea grown in the village has its own name: " Waipokeng Dafo Longjing” and has been sold to other parts of China, and even as far away as the United States.
林金仁鼓动乡亲们成立了茶叶合作社，每家每户种出来的茶叶一起包装一起卖，村子里种的茶叶有了自己的名字：“外婆坑”大佛龙井，他们一直把茶叶卖到了美国。
In 2012, socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era, and life in the village was better. Lin Jinren, who had no worries about food and clothing, thought about bringing the villagers to earn more money. He thought, “I must ask the mountains for wealth.”
2012年，中国特色社会主义进入新时代，村里的日子好过了，吃穿不愁的林金仁琢磨带着村民再多挣些钱，他寻思：得问山要财富。
He improved the living environment of the village, developed special agricultural products, turned his home into a farm stay, and attracted people from the city to travel to the village. In one year, his family's income reached 65,000 yuan. The villagers followed suit and attracted more and more tourists to visit the village.
他改善村居环境，开发特色农产品，把自己家改造成民宿，吸引城里人到村里来旅游，一年下来两口子收入达到了6.5万元，村民们有样学样、纷纷效仿，到外婆坑村旅游的游客越来越多。
In 2021, China has historically solved the problem of absolute poverty and won the largest battle against poverty in human history. This year, the annual per capita income of Waipokeng exceeded 56,000 yuan, and more than 60% of the families in the village made more money than Lin Jinren's family.
2021年，中国历史性地解决了绝对贫困问题，打赢了人类历史上规模最大的脱贫攻坚战。这一年，外婆坑村人均年收入超过了5.6万元，全村60%以上的家庭年收入超过了林金仁家。
In the same year, Waipokeng Village was awarded the "National Advanced Group for Poverty Alleviation". Lin Jinren watched the historic event on live television. His mind was filled with a pyramid of thoughts as he recalled his 30 years of efforts in the past.
这一年，外婆坑村被授予“全国脱贫攻坚先进集体”，在家观看表彰大会直播的林金仁，回想过去的30年，思绪万千。
For most of Lin Jinren's life, he has been practicing the original mission of the Chinese Communists of "seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation". Now, Lin Jinren's youngest son has also joined the Chinese Communist Party, and together with his father, he leads the whole village on the path to the Chinese dream of common prosperity.
林金仁的大半辈子，都在践行中国共产党人“为中国人民谋幸福,为中华民族谋复兴”的初心使命，现在，林金仁的小儿子也加入了中国共产党，同父亲一起，走上带领全村百姓共同富裕的道路。
Hope you all enjoyed this story, thanks!
希望你们能喜欢这个故事，谢谢！

原文对于“得问山要出路，得问山要财富。”翻译的并不准确，这里的山只是一种引申，我们实际应该翻译出背后的含义，例如：出路并不指我们平时常说的用于出入的路，以下是我的译文
Ladies and gentlemen, today I would like to share a story with you. It's a tale about a small mountain village, a household, and the transformation of an individual over the past thirty years. The small mountain village is named "Waipo Keng Village" and is located in Jingling Town, Xinchang County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province. In this village resides an ordinary farming family with the surname Lin. In 1956, as China completed the socialist transformation of public ownership and embarked on comprehensive socialist construction, a boy named Lin Jinren was born in this village. He was the fourth child in his family. Due to extreme poverty, this household relied on government relief grain for nine months each year just to make ends meet. In 1971, under the leadership of the Party, the entire nation engaged in self-reliance and arduous struggle. Lin Jinren, having completed junior high school, left his hometown carrying the entrusted hopes of his parents for him to "eat well and build a family." He ventured into an unfamiliar city to make a living on his own. In 1990, the winds of reform and the modernization drive in socialism reached the village. Even in Waipo Keng Village, where the per capita annual income was less than 90 yuan, there was a desire for prosperity. Lin Jinren, as the village's sole "myriad yuan household," was elected by the villagers to be the head of the village committee. In this way, carrying the hard-earned 60,000 yuan, 35-year-old Lin Jinren was invited back to the village, returning with his wife and three children to the place that had been haunting his dreams and memories. At that time in the village of Waipokeng, out of 80 households, 40 were composed of single men. Lin Jinren pondered on encouraging his fellow villagers to explore more and see the world. He thought, "We must seek a way for prosperity out from the mountains." In that year, he made 86 trips to the county town to secure funding for road repairs. Each time, he walked 20 kilometers on foot, wearing out three pairs of Liberation shoes in one year. When the provincial governor arrived, Lin Jinren approached him confidently, making a solemn pledge. He then led the men, women, and children of the entire village, working tirelessly from dusk till dawn, and managed to complete the construction of the road in just 60 days. Two years later, the entire road project was completed. In that year, the single men who had gone out to work brought back 29 brides. However, with the new arrivals, the question arose: what to do next? Gazing at the undulating mountains around, Lin Jinren contemplated, "We must seek a livelihood from the mountains." He led the villagers to clear land on the mountains, and they started cultivating tea plants. Year after year, relying on the sale of tea leaves, in 2003, Lin Jinren's family bought the first car in the entire village. In that year, the per capita income in the village reached 4,500 yuan. Lin Jinren encouraged his fellow villagers to establish a tea cooperative. Each household contributed their cultivated tea leaves, which were packaged and sold together. The tea produced in the village gained its own brand name: "Waipokeng" Dafo Longjing. They successfully marketed their tea, even exporting it to the United States. In 2012, socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era in China, and life in the village became more prosperous. Despite leading a carefree life with an abundance of food and clothing, Lin Jinren pondered how to guide the villagers to earn more wealth. Once again, he contemplated, "We must seek wealth from the mountains." He improved the village environment, developed distinctive agricultural products, transformed his own house into a guesthouse, and attracted urban residents to visit the village. In a year, the couple's income reached 65,000 yuan. Villagers followed suit, emulating his example, and the number of tourists visiting the Wai Po Keng Village increased steadily. In 2021, China historically resolved the issue of absolute poverty, successfully winning the largest-scale poverty alleviation battle in human history. In that year, the per capita annual income in Wai Po Keng Village exceeded 56,000 yuan, with over 60% of households surpassing the income of Lin Jinren's family. In that year, Wai Po Keng Village was awarded the title of "National Advanced Collective in Poverty Alleviation". Lin Jinren, watching the commendation ceremony from home, reflected on the past 30 years with a myriad of thoughts. Lin has spent most of his life embodying the original mission of the CPC: "to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation." Now, Lin Jinren's youngest son has also joined the CPC. Together with his father, they embark on the path to lead the entire village towards shared prosperity among its residents. I hope you enjoy this story. Thank you!
