哀兵必胜的典故来源
哀兵必胜最早出自于：春秋楚《老子》六十九章：?用兵有言：?吾不敢为主，而为客;不敢进寸，而退尺。?是谓行无行;攘无臂;扔无敌;执无兵。祸莫大于轻敌，轻敌几丧吾宝，故抗兵相加，哀者胜矣。?王弼注：?抗，举也;加，当也。哀者必相惜而不趣利避害，故必胜。?意思是说两军对垒，充满悲愤心情的一方必获得胜利。现在多用来形容被压迫而从事正义战争的一方，一定会胜利。常用以鼓励处于劣势的一方坚定必胜的信心。

翻译是英语考试中的固有题型，随着考试对长难句考察的侧重，近年来的翻译题中出现的句子也越来越长……如果你搞不定，就看看这篇翻译技巧吧~文末有常考的短语和句型哦~
翻译技巧
翻译过程中包括两个阶段：正确理解和充分表达。
理解是表达的前提，而表达是理解的目的和结果，二者缺一不可，因此，考生在做英译汉部分试题时：
1、切记不可急躁，一定要先通读全文，把握全文的主旨、内容，把握划线部分的语境;
2、在着重理解划线部分时，首先要在语义上理清全句的整体意思和每个单词的意思;其次要分析清楚句子结构，理出句群，找出各分句之间的关系;
3、可考虑先打一份翻译草稿，再根据文章意义和汉语结构进行调整。
由于英语中，一词多义的现象十分普遍，且英汉词典中给出的汉语解释未必全面，未必与英文的意思完全对等，这就带来两方面的问题：
A、需要根据该多义词在其语言环境中的词类、搭配关系甚至是单复数形式来确定基本意思;
B、在"忠实"的原则下，如果词典上的释义显得不"通顺"，那么为了"忠实"与"通顺"的统一，我们必须立足于原意，对其加以适当的引申。
选择词义的时候，要根据词在句中的词类及上下文的搭配关系来确定。

实际操练
这些句子摘自大学英语课本，都是很好的写作操练材料，对考生的作文词句规范化很有帮助。反复分析句子结构和词汇词语，然后通过汉译英的反复的回译操练，直至以后英语写作中想到相关汉语就能出现对应英语表达的程度。
那么开始吧……
1． Do you often go online chatting with strangers? Everyday, millions of people, especially the young, are online chatting with friends or with strangers.
你经常上网闲聊吗？每天有数百万人，尤其年轻人，在网上与网友或陌生人聊天。
2． The successful launch and return of the manned spacecraft Shenzhou IV is deemed both a symbol of national prestige and a sign of advanced science and technology, which will definitely contribute to the economic growth of our country.
载人航天飞机神州五号的成功发射及返回既是国家荣誉的一个象征，也是先进的科技能力的标志，这对我国的经济发展无疑会产生促进作用。
3． We all know that China is still a developing country and its education still lags behind that of developed countries. Many young Chinese are denied chances of receiving higher education because of insufficient educational facilities.
我们都知道，中国还是一个发展中的国家，其教育水平仍然落后于发达国家。不少中国年青人由于教育设施的匮乏而得不到接受高等教育的机会。
4． They say that pride comes before a fall. In the case of both Napoleon and Hitler, they won many victories, which led them to believe that anything was possible and that nothing could stand in their way. But Russia’s icy defender proved them wrong.
人道是骄兵必败。就拿拿破仑和（Napoleon and Hitler）来说吧，他们所想披靡，便以为自己战无不胜，不可阻挡。但俄罗斯的冰雪战士证明他们错了。
5． Well begun is half done, as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job ***licant to make sufficient preparations while seeking employment. From my standpoint, whether or not one has prepared adequately clearly makes a difference in (affects) his chance of success. I h***e a friend who is earning around 100 thousand dollars a year in a computer software company. He told me that, from his own experience, those who can decide whether an ***licant could be employed prefer people who are well prepared.
常言道，好的开端是成功的一半。在求职时，求职者事先做好充分的准备是非常重要的。我认为，事先做不做准备常常会影响求职者的成功机会。我有一个朋友在一家计算机软件公司供职，年薪十万美元左右。他根据自己的经历告诉我说，那些对未来雇员具有录用决定权的人喜欢有充分准备的人。
6． I consider it worthwhile trying to summarize our experience in learning English. Here I would like to make three relevant points. First, extensive reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input. Next, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we h***e learnt into practice. By doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to accomplish the task of perfecting our English.
我认为总结一下学习英语的经验是值得一试的。这里，我想谈谈三个相关的问题。首先，大量阅读应被视作学习过程中的重点，因为我们是通过阅读获取最大量语言输入的。其次，尽可能多背熟一些好文章也十分重要。大脑中储存了大量很好的文章，我们在用英语表达自己思想的时候，就会觉得容易多了。最后，我们应把所学到的东西用到实践中去，这是至关重要的。通过多读、多写、多听、多说，我们就能完成提高英语水平的任务。
7． Is America going to decline like other great powers (nations) in history ? The author thinks not, arguing that the type of society created in America is quite unlike any that has gone before it. Read what he has to say and see whether you agree.
美国是否会如同历史上其他强国一样走向衰亡？作者持否定态度，认为美国创建的社会模式不同于任何已出现的社会模式。读一读他的观点，看看你是否同意。
8． More than a decade ago, the mobile phone was a luxury for only a few, but now it is very common. The rapid spread of the mobile phone is perhaps one of the great miracles of our time.
十几年前，手机只是少数人才能使用的奢侈品，但现在手机已很普遍。手机的快速普及也许是我们时代的伟大奇迹之一。
9． Some people seem easy to understand：their character ***ears obvious on first meeting. ***earances, however, can be deceptive. For thirty years now I h***e been studying my fellowmen. I don’t know very much about them. I shrug my shoulders when people tell me that their first impressions of a person are always right. I think they must h***e ***all insight or great vanity. For my own part I find that the longer I know people, the more they puzzle me.
有些人似乎容易了解：他们的个性在初次交往时就表露无遗。然而，外表可能具有欺骗性。三十年来，我一直在研究我的人类同胞，但至今了解不多。每当有人跟我说他对一个人的首次印象向来不错的时候，我就耸耸肩。我想这种人不是无知，就是自大。就我而言，我觉得，认识一个人的时间越长，就越觉得困惑。(be ignorant or self-righteous；self-centered; self-confident; self-discipline; self-educated; self-employed; self-esteem; selfish)
10． As the pace of life in today’s world grows ever faster, we seem forever on the go. With so much to do and so little time to do it in, how are we to cope? Dr. ***ith sets about untangling the problem and comes up with an answer.
随着当今世界生活节奏日益加快，我们似乎一直在不停奔忙。事情那么多，时间却那么少，我们该怎么办？史密斯博士着手解决这一问题，并提出了解决方法。
11． In America many people h***e a romantic idea of life in the countryside. Many living in towns dream of starting up their own farm, of living off the land. Few get round to putting their dreams into practice. This is perhaps just as well, as the life of a farmer is far from easy, as Jim Doherty discovered when he set out to combine being a writer with running a farm. Nevertheless, as he explains, he has no regrets and remains enthusiastic about his decision to change his way of life.
在美国，不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的想象，许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场，梦想着靠土地为生。很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。或许这也没有什么不好，因为，正如吉姆多而第当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样，农耕生活远非轻松自在。但他写到，自己并不后悔，对自己做出的改变生活方式的决定仍然热情不减。
12． Professor Huntington’s paper greatly inspired me. According to him, in a plural society, there will inevitably be different opinions. The key is to deal with them in such a way that they can play a constructive rather than destructive role. He argues that in a plural society we must stress/attach importance to interpersonal relationships, cooperation, and look at issues from the perspective of other people. If some groups regard themselves as superior and treat other ethnic groups or religions with disrespect, the whole society may be paralyzed. I am convinced that if we put into practice the ideas mentioned above, then there is the possibility of creating a new civilization. Huntington
教授的论文使我深受启发。他认为，在一个多元化(plural)社会里，不同意见是不可避免的。关键在于怎样正确对待不同意见，使之发挥建设性、而非破坏性的作用。他还说，在一个多元化（plural）社会里，我们必须重视人际关系，强调合作，多从他人视角考虑问题。如果某些群体自视高人一筹，不尊重其他种族或宗教，那么整个社会有可能陷入瘫痪。我相信，要是我们把上述想法付诸实践，那我们就有可能创造出一种新的文明。
13． Making a living as a door-to-door sale***an demands a thick skin, both to protect against the weather and against constantly h***ing the door shut in your face. Bill Porter puts up with all this and much, much more.
干挨家挨户上门推销这一营生得脸皮厚，这是因为干这一行不仅要经受风吹日晒，还要承受一次又一次的闭门羹。比尔.波特忍受着这一切，以及别的种种折磨。
14． When children take up ways of making a living that differ greatly from their parents, differences in outlook can easily arise. This is what Alfred found. Brought up in the family of a building worker, education led him to develop different interests and ambitions from his father. Here he writes about how this affected their relationship.
当子女的谋生方式与父母大相径庭时，很容易产生观念上的差异。这正是Alfred的发现。他在一个建筑工人的家庭里长大，他所受的教育使他产生了不同于父亲的兴趣和抱负。他在本文中叙述了这一差异如何影响着他们的父子关系。
兔子和乌龟
龟兔赛跑
背景：在一个大森林里，小动物们快乐地生活着，充满它们的欢声笑语。
旁白：早上好每一个人。我是一个鸟类。我住在森林中。现在，我会告诉你讲述龟先生和兔**。在一个非常大的森林，有许多动物的生命一样，兔，猴，狗，斑马，大象和乌龟磨练吨。兔**感到非常自豪，她长的腿。今天，一个有趣的事情正在发生。
兔子：嗨！龟先生。您在做什么？
乌龟：嗨！兔**。我运行。

乌龟：兔**，你太骄傲。我们应该有一个比赛。我相信我能赢得比赛。
兔子：请问什么是比赛，你可以赢得确定。确定。看看高大的树。让我看看谁可以第一次到达那里。
乌龟：好！
兔子：谁是赢家当然，这是我。

小猴：我相信兔子会赢得比赛！
小鹿：我希望龟会获胜。 。
其他小动物附和着。
小兔对乌龟说：我相信我会战胜你。不要哭，如果你失去。
乌龟回答：让我们拭目以待。
小鹿宣布：准备，设置，走！
比赛音乐响起。
乌龟和小兔开始赛跑，乌龟慢慢趴，小兔跳的很快。
小动物们：来吧，兔！
来吧，龟，不要放弃。
旁白：兔运行速度非常快。她很快到了高树。她期待回来。
小兔回头看乌龟：乌龟是如此缓慢。我看不到他。我要午睡树下。
小兔在大树下躺下，呼呼大睡。乌龟继续爬着。
斑马跑到乌龟旁边悄悄说：来吧，龟，不要放弃。
乌龟：谢谢你。我明白了。我会尽我所能。
旁白：一小时后，乌龟来到树。兔子仍然是睡觉。他上运行的一个。

小动物齐鼓掌欢呼：乌龟赢得了比赛！
乌龟：噢，我无法相信这是事实。我赢了兔子！
小兔作害羞状，与乌龟拉起横幅：
傲慢是在下降。骄兵必败骄兵必败。
小动物们一起说：傲慢是在下降。骄兵必败
俗话说：虚心使人进步,骄傲使人落后。骄傲真的会使人自甘堕落，堕入人生的低谷。想到这些，我不禁心思潮伏，想起三年级那时的我。
盛夏季节，天上的太阳毫不吝啬，到处泼洒着自己的光辉，好像要把一切晒焦。蝉也悄悄的在树里嘶叫，似乎也在抱怨着这烈日炎炎的天气。坐在教室里的我们，正在听英语老师教我们念英文单词。英语老师教我们念完后说":明天要考试了，大家都要准备好东西，应付明天的考试……"我用手掌撑着头，眼睛时不时的望向窗外。心想：切！不就是一场什么破考试吗？有什么了不起的。回去管你什么烂英语，破语文，坏数学。我都会了，什么我不会。“叮铃铃……”下课了，我用手摸了摸听老师讲课快要长茧的耳朵。蔡文妮跑过来说“：张瑜，明天要考试了。我不会的，我踢一下你板凳就把答案给我啊。”我很轻蔑的一笑，做了个OK的手势。蔡文妮轻轻的笑了起来。我说“：请我吃雪糕，我就给。”蔡文妮说“：只要帮我，什么都不成问题。”我爽快的答应了，于是，我和她在我家院子里疯闹着，也没复习英语。
第二天的英语考试如期来临，教室里鸦雀无声，只有铅笔在卷子上“沙沙”的声音。蔡文妮不停的踢我板凳，我看着这些试题便傻眼了，一个个我都不会做。我便开始后悔起来：唉！我要是把老师的话听进去就好，好好复习英语，我也不会这样手足无措啊。又想到吃别人雪糕，果然，吃别人的嘴短，拿别人的手短。我心乱如麻。没办法，我只好硬着头皮给蔡文妮纸条。我瞎写的答案给她。我如坐针毡的坐在座位上，只期盼时间快点过去。我也泥菩萨过江，自身难保。我怀着侥幸的心理虔诚的向上帝祷告，
试卷发下来了，如我所想，并没进优秀，而蔡文妮不及格。这次都是骄傲惹的祸，不然我也不会被老师打板子，挨批。更重要的是，我还了蔡文妮四个雪糕。想到这，我后悔的肠子都青了，但并没有后悔药卖。这次，我损了人格，亏了我的血本。
关羽失荆州，骄兵必败。我想，以后一定不要骄傲，否则会损失惨重。
There was a proud teak（柚木）tree in the forest. He was tall and strong. There was a ***all herb next to the tree.

The teak tree said, "I am very handsome and strong. No one can defeat me."

有一天，森林里迎来了一场暴风雨。草本植物低低地弯下腰。和往常一样，柚树不想弯腰。
The storm kept growing stronger. The teak could no longer bear it. He felt his strength giving way.

He tried his best to stand upright（竖立）, but in the end, he fell down. That was the end of the proud tree.

The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would h***e nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and h***y, than to be rich and afraid."
译文
城里老鼠和乡下老鼠
从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”
乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。
过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”

A Good Boy
Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I g***e you yesterday?"
"I g***e it to a poor old woman," he answered.
"You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?"
"She is the one who sells the candy."

“昨天给你的钱干什么了？”
“我给了一个可怜的老太婆，”他回答说。 “你真是个好孩子，”妈妈骄傲地说。“再给你两分钱。可你为什么对那位老太太那么感兴趣呢？”
“她是个卖糖果的。”
Drunk
One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions. Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?" "Well, my son," his father replied, "look, there are standing two policemen. If I regard the two policemen as four then I am drunk."
"But, dad," the boy said, " there's only ONE policeman!"
醉酒
一天，父亲与小儿子一道回家。这个孩子正处于那种对什么事都很感兴趣的年龄，老是有提不完的问题。他向父亲发问道：“爸爸，‘醉’字是什么意思？” “唔，孩子，”父亲回答说，“你瞧那儿站着两个警察。如果我把他们看成了四个，那么我就算醉了。” “可是，爸爸， ”孩子说，“那儿只有一个警察呀！”
