    习近平向联合国赠送“和平尊”
    Presenting Zun of Peace to the United Nations
    为纪念联合国成立70周年,中国政府决定向联合国赠送一座“和平尊”。
   This Zun of Peace is presented by the Chinese government as a gift to the United Nations to commemorate its 70th anniversary.
   “和平尊”以中国古代青铜器中的“尊”为原型。“尊”取“敬重”之义,在中国传统文化中是十分隆重的礼器。我们今天以“尊”为礼,表达中国对联合国的重视和支持,也是13亿多中国人民对联合国的美好祝福。
    Zun of Peace is modeled after Zun, a bronze ritual object used in ancient China. Zun means reverence in Chinese, and this bronze ritual object is highly important in traditional Chinese culture. This gift represents China's high regard and support for the United Nations and the best wishes of the over 1.3 billion Chinese people to the organization.
    “和平尊”以“中国红”为主色调,热情庄重。顶部的龙饰象征守望和平。两侧的象首、凤鸟寓意天下太平,人民安康。尊体饰以中国传统吉祥纹饰,辅以丝绸之路等元素,传承和平发展、交流合作的理念。尊身展翅高飞的七只和平鸽,代表联合国为世界和平而奋斗的70年。
    This work is mainly in the color of “Chinese red”, giving a warm and solemn touch to it. The dragons at the top represent guardians of peace, and the elephants and phoenixes on both sides convey wishes for prosperity across the world. The whole work is adorned with traditional auspicious patterns and elements of the Silk Road, representing China's vision of peace, development, exchanges and cooperation. The seven flying doves symbolize 70 years of the United Nations' dedication to world peace.   (节选自外交部网站;供稿人:丁锐)

 
聚焦北京2022冬奥会

 
    冬季奥林匹克运动会是一项国际性的重大体育赛事,每四年举办一次. 相比夏季奥运会而言,冬奥会的项目主要是在冰雪上进行。第一届冬奥会于1924年在法国夏蒙尼举办。今年7月31日,北京及其协办城市河北省张家口市在国际奥委会投票中以44比40险胜哈萨克斯坦阿拉木图,赢得了2022年冬季奥运会的举办权。
    The Winter Olympic Games is a major international sporting event that occurs once every four years. Unlike the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics feature sports practiced on snow and ice. The first Winter Olympics was held in Chamonix, France in 1924. Beijing, with co-host Zhangjiakou in neighboring Hebei province, edged out Almaty, Kazakhstan, by 44-40 in the IOC vote on July 31st,won  the hosting right of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games
 
    中国申奥代表团精彩陈述(节选)
 
    中国国务院副总理刘延东:
    中国政府全力支持北京申办2022冬奥会和冬残奥会,我们将提供财政、法律、安保、医疗保健和组织运行等各方面的保障。2022的冬奥会如果在北京举办,将带动三亿中国人,特别是北京青少年参与冰雪运动。冬奥会会激发中国人的激情,增强他们的体质。作为一个负责任的国家,中国将会实现我们的一切承诺。
    Chinese government fully supports Beijing's bid for 2022 Winter Olympic Games and will provide all kinds of safeguards for the Games, including finance, law, security, health care and organizational operations. The Games will inspire 300 million Chinese, especially young people in Beijing, to join the Winter Sports’ fun if the city wins the 2022 bid. The Games can ignite their passion, and make them healthier. As a responsible country, China will meet all preparatory pledges.
 
    中国奥委会主席、国家体育总局局长刘鹏:
    12个场馆中有11个是2008奥运遗产,大幅度降低了办赛成本。延庆和张家口所有的新建场馆都符合当地的长远发展规划。我们的赛事组织能力,包括举办亚洲冬季运动会,将为北京2022冬奥会和冬残奥会的圆满成功提供最可靠的保证。
    Eleven of the 12 venues in Beijing are already 2008 Olympic Games legacy venues, substantially reducing costs. And all new venues planned in Yanqing and Zhangjiakou aligns with the long-term regional development plans. Our proven event-organizing capability, including holding the Asian Winter Games, will provide a reliable platform for successful 2022 winter games.
 
    国际奥委会副主席、中国奥委会副主席于再清:
中国有一句古谚语,千里之行始于足下,今天在奥林匹克历程中将会迈出历史性的一步。迈出这一步,你们选择北京,举办一届以运动员为中心的奥运会,为冰雪运动长远发展奠定基础。
     We have a saying in China, a journey of thousand miles starts with a single step. Today a historical step in the journey of Olympic movement will be taken. You have the choice to choose the city who will not only deliver an athlete-centered Olympic Games, but who will also build a foundation for ice sports development.
 
    北京冬奥申委主席、北京市市长王安顺:
    北京是全世界最受欢迎的旅游目的地之一,2014年境外游客达到了500万人次,全市拥有超过11万间星级酒店客房。为充分满足商业和休闲旅游的需要,我们已经和132家酒店签订了协议,房间的数量将比国际奥委会要求的高出30%。现有的住宿设施可让冬奥会的客户有更好的选择。
     As one of the world's top tourist destinations, Beijing has received almost five million international tourists in 2014 and the city has more than 110,000 star-rated hotel rooms. To cater all the Games clients and spectators, Beijing has signed binding agreements with 132 hotels, exceeding the IOC room requirements by 30 percent.

科技前沿

   首款"偷不走的自行车"问世
    A trio of Chilean engineers says they have found a way to thwart determined thieves with what they claim is the world's first 'unstealable bike.' The design, called the Yerka, looks like an average bike, but the bottom tube of the frame can be split into two parts and wrapped around a pole. According its creators, the frame can be dismantled and reconnected to make a lock in just 10 seconds. Once the bike's seat tube forms a lock, the only way to steal the bike would be to cut through it, destroying it in the process. The Yerka is the creation of Cristóbal Cabello, 22, Andrés Roi Eggers, 23 and Juan José Monsalve, 24. The design was first announced in November, but last week, the team said they had put in their first order to produce 300 Yerkas. While an investment of $100,000 from a state enterprise fund helped the project along, they raised most of their funds on crowdfunding site Indiegogo. The start-up sold the first 100 bikes for $400 then increased the price to $500. In future it will rise to $600, according to a CNN report. While they call it the world's first unstealable bike, critics have previously said the lock could be picked or the bike easily destroyed. Thieves might also be happy simply to get the handlebars or front wheel. But the team says that if they weren't working on something as revolutionary as this, they would have their critics. They also add that the wheels have anti-theft nuts that can only be opened with a special key. The designers are now working on an app that will let users open up their bike using the smart phone.
    三名智利工程师宣称发明了世界上首款“偷不走的自行车”,他们表示,这下那些信誓旦旦的偷车贼肯定没辙了。这款自行车名为“尤科”,看上去跟普通自行车没什么两样,但车身底杆可以分成两部分,环绕在一根柱子上。发明者称,拆开车身主架、重新组装成一把锁,这一过程仅需10秒。一旦自行车车座杆形成一把锁,偷车的唯一办法就是把车切开,这样做的话自行车也就毁了。“尤科”自行车是由22岁的克里斯托波尔•卡贝略、23岁的安德烈斯•罗伊和24岁的胡安•乔斯•蒙萨尔维共同发明的。这个设计在去年11月份首次公布。上周,这个团队表示,他们接到了第一份订单,首批300辆“尤科”自行车已投入生产。一家国有企业已投资10万美元来赞助这个项目,但是他们大部分的资金是在众筹网站Indiegogo上筹集到的。这个初创公司以400美元单价销售了首批100辆自行车,之后提价至500美元。据CNN报道,未来该品牌自行车价格将升至600美元。他们宣称“尤科”为世界上首辆“偷不走的自行车”,然而曾有人批评称,车锁是可以被撬开的,而且自行车也很容易毁坏。只拿到车把或前轮,小偷们也照样很开心。不过,这个团队表示,如果研制的产品不够革新,他们也会遭受质疑的,他们还说车轮有防盗螺母,只有专用钥匙才能打开它。设计者们目前正在开发应用程序,如此一来,用户可以用智能手机给自行车开锁。

 交流园地

 
    翻译贵在不译                       
    翻译服务于沟通,目的在交流、传意,更应争取传神。
    一、止戈为武,不战而屈人之兵
    小标题看似风马牛不相及,实则是想说我首先是受这句话启发。
A lion’s teeth are bared, and his enemies simply shudder at his roar. 气场能量场一出来,省去不少事。
    翻译除了言辞表达,表情举止、气度风采也在传达着信息。一个好的翻译展现着大国的自信。外交是妥协,译员很有气势,对方感觉到不好施压,可能有些话就咽回去了,自然就不必翻译了。因语言外的素质,达到“不译”的效果。这里并非夸大译员的作用,外事活动的影响因素很多,译员只是一个方面。
    二、礼宾礼仪,有所不为有所为
    金正昆的书里说学礼仪用礼仪要有所不为有所为。知道什么不该说,什么不该做,不犯错,不出丑,是礼仪的最低要求。做到这条,基本成功一半。
    同理,译员应该清楚知道什么不能说,不必译。这比口若悬河、滔滔不绝,更符合译员的身份。
    三、大道至简,大音稀声
    苹果设计理念,Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.(出自《乔布斯传》)
    苹果的界面用户友好,其产品不用说明书,用户凭直觉思维intuitive thinking就知道怎么使用。其实让一个电子产品做功,其总劳动量是一定的,设计师工程师思维强度大了,消耗卡路里多了,用户才可以不费力。
    译员的工作也是,译员水平高,加工处理信息能力强,构思组织译语付出劳动多了,脱口而出的译语就会简洁明了,brief and to the point, 而且更容易让人理解和接受。比如周总理介绍《梁祝》时的一句“Chinese Romeo and Juliet”,引发全场笑声和赞叹。
    四、千言万语,不若莫言
    在此,我讲一个亲身经历的故事。在巩义市直幼儿园给外教当陪同翻译时,我与之打交道的外教是个年轻的菲律宾女孩,性格活泼开朗。有一次,她上完课,碰巧生活老师送水果来。那是给整个班的一大盆葡萄。外教做个鬼脸,说I’ll take these away. 我知道她只是恶作剧,逗一下在场的小朋友。她双手端起葡萄就往外走,我呢,half shocked and half amused,给个瞪大眼睛同时忍住笑的表情,没有翻译她这句话。其实也没有译的必要,大家都看到了她在干什么,配合并欣赏她的表演,娱乐小朋友就行。小家伙们一副惊呆了又很担心的神态,她目的达到了,立即笑着把葡萄放回了原处。整个过程极短,只有一二十秒,如果我出声,会破坏气氛,而且等我说完,葡萄多半已经放回,喜剧效果会大打折扣。
    不同语言背景,不同思维方式。译员会引导服务对象的思考走向,善于在两种语言的思维模式中转换,让双方渐渐想到一块儿去,不仅仅是译员能预测接下来讲话内容而有利于译语输出,更重要的是能促成讲话交谈的目标达成。如果译员不需要多说,双方达成合意,当然是上策。法国作家圣艾修伯里的《小王子》里有句话:“语言是引起误会的根源。”恰到好处,不多一句,是一个优秀译员应该拿捏得当的尺度。(供稿人:巩义市外侨办 张舒)
