篇一：教育体制
话题材料：
中国的教育体制分为三个阶段：基础教育、高等教育和成人教育。基础教育包括学前教育(pre-school education)、小学和中学。高等教育由职业专科学校、学院和大学组成。1986年，中国开始实行从小学到初中的九年制义务教育(nine-year compulsory education)政策。中国政府把教育放在优先发展的战略地位，提出了“科教兴国”的战略方针。在政府和人民的共同努力下，中国的教育取得了历史性的成就。
参考译文：
1.第1句中的“分为三个阶段”实表被动的意义，故译为bedivided into...。
2.第4句中的定语“从小学到初中的”较长，故将其处理成后置定语，用介词短语from primary school to junior highschool 来表达。
3.第5句中的两个分句均比较长可考虑用并列结构译出：TheChinese government has placed strategic priorityon... and advanced the strategy...。但不如将后半句“提出了......的战略方针”处理成表伴随的状语，译作advancing the strategy...，使句子逻辑关系更为清晰。“提出”可译作put forward或advance。
4.最后一句中的`“在政府和人民的共同努力下”可用介词短语with the joint efforts of both thegovernment and the people来表达。翻译“中国的教育取得了历史性的成就”时，为了符合英语表达习惯，宜转化原宾语“历史性的成就”为主语，原主语“中国的教育”处理为状语，全句用被动语态译出，表达为historic achievements have been made in Chinese education。

篇二：五行学说
话题材料：
五行学说(the theory of five elements)是中国古代的一种物质观。五行包括金、木、水、火和土五种要素。五行学说强调整体概念，描绘了事物的结构关系和运动形式。五行学说认为宇宙万物都是基于这五种要素的运行和变化。这五个要素相互作用，不但影响到人的命运，同时也使宇宙万物循环不已。五行学说成熟干汉代 (the Han Dynasty)，之后广泛应用于中医、建筑和武术(martial arts}等领域。
参考译文：
1.第2句五行中的“金”指“金属”，而非“黄金”，故第2句中应译为metal，而非gold。
2.第3句中的第2个分句“描绘了事物的结构关系和运动形式”可处理为状语，表伴随状态，用分词短语describing thestructural relationships and forms of movement ofmatters 来表达。
3.第4句中的“五行学说认为”可译为the theory holdsthat...，亦可译为according to the theory，承前句，“五行学说”可简单转换表达为“该学说”(thetheory)。“宇宙万物”可译为the universe，强调整体，也可表达为 everything in the universe。
4.第5句有三个分句，可把“这五个要素相互作用”处理成主干，“不但影响到……，同时也使宇宙万物……”处理为结果状语，用分词短语来表达，“不但……同时也”可用结构both... and...或... as well as...来表达，故整句译为 These five elements interact with each other, well as making...。
5.最后一句“五行学说成熟于汉代，之后广泛应用于……”可用并列结构译出：The theory got mature in theHan Dynasty and was widely employed...。翻译宾语“中医、建筑和武术等领域”时，先译出中心词fields，再用like或者such as来引出例子。
