《每日一句漢譯英》一周匯總 (9)

 
Monday

每天我都會遇到一個接一個的挑戰，檢驗我在學校所學的全部知識。

Every day I confronted a constant series of challenges that tested everything I'd ever studied

 
Tuesday

從邏輯學的觀點來說，這固然是一件新鮮事，可是從文學的觀點來說，卻是一件比中國的萬裏長城還要古老的藝術。

That will be a new thing in logic, and a feat in story-telling somewhat older than the great wall of China.


Wednesday

但是依我說，最美滿的還是那小公寓裏的家庭生活：學習了一天之後的情話絮語；舒適的晚飯和新鮮、清淡的早餐；關於誌向的交談 ---- 他們不但關心自己的，也關心對方的誌向，否則就沒有意義了---- 互助和靈感；還有 ---- 恕我直率 ---- 晚上十一點鍾吃的菜裹肉片和奶酪三明治。

But the best, in my opinion, was the home life in the little flat-- the ardent, voluble chats after the day's study; the cozy dinners and fresh, light breakfasts; the interchange of ambitions--ambitions interwoven each with the other's or else inconsiderable--the mutual help and inspiration; and--overlook my artlessness--stuffed olives and cheese sandwiches at 11 p.m.


Thursday

聯合國糧農組織的這份報告說，在發展中國家，婦女占農村勞動力的43%，但是隻有10%到20%的婦女擁有她們耕種的土地而且她們也更難獲得信貸來購買更好的種子和肥料。
  
The FAO report said women make up 43 percent of the agricultural workforce in developing countries, but only 10 to 20 percent of the women own the land they farm and they find it more difficult to get credit to buy better seeds and fertilizers.
 

Friday
 
中國星期一舉行儀式，公布“嫦娥一號”探月衛星傳回的第一組月球照片，這標誌著這枚衛星月球表麵探測使命的正式開始。

China unveiled the first images of the moon captured by its lunar satellite at a ceremony Monday, marking the formal start of its mission to document the lunar landscape.
