银元
尚年轻的莫老1那时在镇上教书。有一天，远处传来隆隆的炮声。他讲完最后一课，就投笔从戎2去了。
那时正值严冬，行军艰苦。一个文弱书生3被鼓胀的行囊和枪支累得气喘吁吁。这是他第一次上战场。第一次上战场就差点掉了队。4
在队伍穿过一个集镇时，他看到一个披头散发的女人，手里拿着一块银元，疯了似的5边诉说边嚎啕。战士们都板着一样的面孔，怀着一个庄严的使命6，视若无睹地匆匆前进。如果他只是稍一迟疑，并不停下来，他的历史也许就很简单了。但他却停了下来，并且跨出了队列。当他弄明白那女人被人用一块假银元买去了她的女儿7时，真想找来那家伙毙了他。“国难8当头，竟有这等畜生！”他伸手接过那枚银元，在掌心掂了掂，本想随手扔掉，一犹豫，就顺手装进了上衣口袋里。接着从背囊里摸出一块大洋——那是他的第一次军饷，撂给了那女人 (9)
第六单元比喻性词语的翻译他听老兵说，挨枪子儿就像被人打一拳的滋味，如果见不到血，还能拼搏一阵子；见血了，就非倒下不可。他一跳出战壕，就当胸挨了那么一拳。他记住老兵的话，就当没那么一回事，向前冲去——杀呀！杀一个够本！
奇怪的是，他一直没有倒下去；仗打完了10，也没倒下去。
他从不相信因果报应11，如果那样，这世上麻烦事不就少多了？可是，的确是那块银元挡住了子弹！
后来他打了许多仗，他一直把它带在身上。他认为带着它是很有意思的。
后来有位老战友问及这块银元，莫老笑道：“蹲牛棚12时，被红卫兵搜去了。”
战友惋惜道：“如果还在13，它将无价！”
“为何？”
“它救了一位将军呀！”
两人哈哈大笑起来……

A SIL VER DOLLAR
General Mo was then a young teacher in town. Gunfire rumbling in the distance one day announced the arrival of war. He made up his mind to renounce the pen for the sword and join the army.
Marching in a cold winter was a great suffering. A former scholar turned soldier, he was so frail that breathlessly weighed down by pack and gun, he could barely catch up with the file.
When the troops went through a market town, a dishevelled woman holding out a silver dollar complained and wailed like mad. The soldiers, however, all straight-faced on a great mission, paid no attention to her and marched on hastily. If he had just arrested his step for an instant without stop, his story would have been much simpler. But he did stop, and even stepped out of the file. When it became clear to him that someone had cheated the woman out of her daughter by paying her a counterfeit dollar, he could not help cursing, “What a beast! And at a time when the nation was suffering foreign aggression!”He would fain have shot the fellow if he could. Reaching out for the forged money, he weighed it on his hand, sought for a genuine dollar from his pack and gave it to the woman. It was the first pay he had got. As for that false one, he was inclined to throw it away, but a second thought made him slip it into the upper pocket of his jacket.
He learned from a veteran that to be hit by a bullet was like being hit by a fist: he could go on fighting if he saw no blood; if he did, he was bound to fall. He had hardly leapt out of the trench when he got a hit on the chest. As told by the veteran, he made nothing of it but charged forward,
“Attack! Kill at least one before I am done!”
Strange to say, he did not fall. He was not brought down throughout the battle.
He never believes in divine requital. If it did work, he reasons, how come troubles never lessen in the world?
In spite of that, it was indeed the bogus silver dollar in his pocket that warded off the bullet!
He carried it with him in all the battles he fought subsequently. It was significant to do so, he thought.
Later, when asked by an old comrade-in-arms about the fake dollar, General Mo said with a laugh, “Confisticated by the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution when I was in custody.”
His friend regretfully said,“If it could be recovered, it would be priceless!”
“Why？”
“Because it saved a general’s life!”
Both of them burst into laughter.

一、历史：老子 《老子》大约成书于公元前6世纪，一般认为，它是春秋时期一位叫老聃的隐者所作。《老子》又称《道德经》，虽然简短，但它在中国文化发展中的作用却很大。以它为基础，中国古代产生了与儒家并列的哲学派别——道家。根据他的思想，中国古代产生了以老子为始祖的宗教派别道教，这是华夏民族本土产生的最具影响力的宗教。《老子》的思想直接影响了中国人的民族特性、思维倾向和审美趣味。 The book Laozi was written around the sixth century BC. The author is generally believed to be Lao Dan — a recluse who lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. Laozi is also known as Classic of the Way and Virtue. Short as it is, the book has played a tremendous role in the development of Chinese culture. It became the basis of Daoism, the school of philosophy parallel to Confucianism in ancient China. The thought of Laozi formed the foundation of Daoism, the most influential indigenous school of religion in China. It also has exerted a direct impact on the characteristics, trends of thought and aesthetic sensibilities of the Chinese nation. 二、历史：郑和下西洋 1405年，地球的蓝色海洋上，出现了一支庞大的船队，前后有208艘船。船上所载的各类船员有两万七千五百多人，这是有史以来最大的一支船队，也是有史以来最多的航海人员。在此后的28年间，一共七下西洋，前后出海的随船人员共计十万多人，访问了三十多个国家。“西洋”是中国古代指中国南海以西地区的称呼。在西亚，这支船队访问过圣城麦加；在非洲，这支船队最远航行到现在的莫桑比克。 In 1405, a huge fleet of 208 ships appeared on the blue seas of the earth. With more than 27,500 people aboard, it was the greatest fleet with the largest crews the world had ever seen. Over the next 28 years, six more fleets of a similar scale, with crews totaling more than 100,000 people, left China for further voyages to the Western Seas and arrived in more than 30 countries along the way. “Western Seas” was the term used in ancient China to refer to the regions west of the South China Sea. In West Asia, they visited the holy city of Mecca; in Africa, they reached as far as the present Mozambique. 三、文化：故宫 紫禁城也叫故宫，自15世纪至20世纪初，明、清两代先后有24位君王在这里行使权力。它是北京最辉煌的宫殿建筑群，也是目前世界上保存最完好的同类建筑之一。它的建筑艺术举世称奇，它有数不尽的收藏包含这个国家的岁月沧桑。紫禁城包括72万平方米的面积，包括外宫和内宫。外宫是皇帝处理国家事务的地方，而内宫是皇家居住的地方。紫禁城一共有8000多间房间，全部沿着中轴线或两侧精心修建。 The Forbidden City, also known as the Palace Museum, is where 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties ruled China from the 15th century to the early 20th century. It is the most splendid palace complex in Beijing and one of the best preserved of its kind in the world. Its awe-inspiring architecture and huge variety of collections stand as living evidence to the rich historical essence of this country. The Forbidden City, covering an area of 720,000 square meters, consists of the Outer Court and the Inner Court. The Outer Court is where the emperor ran state affairs, and the Inner Court is where the imperial family lived. There are over 8,000 halls and rooms in the Forbidden City, all laid out in a precise manner along the central axis or to its sides. 四、文化：京剧 京剧（Beijing Opera）是中国流行最广、影响最大的一个剧种，有近200年的历史。京剧在形成过程中，吸收了许多地方戏的精华，又受到北京方言和风俗习惯的影响。虽然诞生在北京，但京剧不仅仅是北京的地方戏，中国各地都有演出京剧的剧团。目前上演的主要有传统剧、新编历史剧和现代戏三大类。京剧作为中国民族戏曲的精华，在国内外都有很大的影响。许多外国人专门到中国来学唱京剧。许多京剧表演艺术家也曾到世界各地演出，受到了各国人民的喜爱。 Beijing Opera is the most popular and influential opera in China with a history of more than 200 years.

六级翻译 1.孔子(Confucius)是春秋时期鲁国人，中国古代伟大的思想家、教育家、政治家和儒家思想(Confucianism)的创始人。他一生大部分时间都在从事教育事业，培养出很多知识渊博且有才能的人。作为儒家学派的创始人，孔子的思想以“仁”(benevolence)为核心。他的思想和学说的精华收录于《论语》(“The Analects”)一书。孔子所创立的包括哲学、政治、道德和教育的完整学说，影响中国长达两千多年，是中华文化的宝贵遗产。同时，孔子的思想对世界也产生了深远的影响，推动了世界文明的发展。 Confucius, who lived in the State of Lu during the Spring and Autumn period, was a great thinker, educator, politician and founder of Confucianism in ancient China. With most of his life engaged in education, Confucius had educated many knowledgeable and talented people. As the founder of Confucianism, he made “benevolence” the core of his thought. The essence of his thoughts and theories are recorded in the book “The Analects”. Regarded as the precious legacy of Chinese culture, the complete theory of Confucius, which embraces the study in philosophy, politics, ethics and education, has influenced China for over 2,000 years. Meanwhile, his thoughts also have a profound impact on the world and have advanced the development of world civilization. 2.中国航天工程神舟号宇宙飞船以其十次成功发射给全世界留下了印象。1992年，中国载人航天工程正式获得批准。1999年11月20日，中国首只无人操作飞船“神舟一号”成功发射，这标志着中国在太空探索中取得首个巨大突破。在接下来的三年，无人操作飞船的几次试验飞行(test flight)相继执行。第五次发射的“神舟五号”在2003年10月15日第一次将中国首位宇航员送入太空。自此，中国成为继俄罗斯和美国之后第三个具备自主载人航天能力的国家。 Shenzhou spacecraft of China’s space program has already made a worldwide impression with 10 successful blastoffs. China’s Manned Space Program was formally approved In 1992. On November 20, 1999, China’s first unmanned spacecraft, Shenzhou 1, was successfully launched, which marked China’s first great breakthrough in space exploration. In the following three years, several test flights of unmanned spacecrafts were successively carried out. The fifth launch, Shenzhou 5, was the first to carry first Chinese astronaut into space on 15 October 2003. Since then, China has became the third country in the world to have independent manned space flight capability after Russia and the United States. 3.闻名于世的丝绸之路是一系列连接东西方的路线。丝绸之路延伸6，000多公里，得名于古代中国的丝绸贸易。丝绸之路上的贸易在中国、南亚、欧洲和中东文明发展中发挥了重要作用。正是通过丝绸之路，中国的造纸、火药、指南针、印刷术等四大发明才被引介到世界各地。同样，中国的丝绸、茶叶和瓷器(porcelain)也传遍全球。物质文化的交流是双向的，欧洲也通过丝绸之路出口各种商品和植物，满足中国市场的需求。 The well-known Silk Road is a series of routes linking the East and the West. Extending over 6,000 kilometers, the Silk Road got its name from the silk trade in ancient China. Trades on the Silk Road played significant roles in the development of the civilizations of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It is through the Silk Road that the Four Great Inventions in China-paper-making, gun powder, compass and printing-were introduced to all over the world.
