五四运动

1、请将下面这段话翻译成英文：　　五四运动(the May Fourth Movement)是1919年5月4日发生的一场反帝反封建(anti-imperialist, anti-feudal)的政治文化运动。这次运动以北京为中心，很快扩大到上海、天津、青岛等许多城市。五四运动是以青年学生为主力，市民、商人和工人等广泛参与的一次爱国运动。他们通过示威游行、罢工等各种活动来抗议软弱的政府，要求恢复国家主权(sovereignty)。五四运动对中国的政治、文化、教育，以及中国共产党(the Communist Party ofChina)的发展有着重要的作用。为了纪念这次运动中华人民共和国成立后正式宣布5月4日为中国青年节(the Chinese Youth Day)。

参考翻译:

　　The May Fourth Movement, which took place on May 4th, 1919, was an anti-imperialist, anti-feudal, political and cultural movement. The movement was centered in Beijing, and soon spread to Shanghai, Tianjin, Qingdao and many other cities. It was a patriotic movement with broad participation by citizens, businessmen and workers, in which young students served as the main force. They took various activities, such as demonstration and strike, to protest the weak government and claim to recover the national sovereignty. The May Fourth Movement played a significant role in Chinese politics, culture, education as well as the development of the Communist Party of China. In order to commemorate this movement, the May 4th was officially announced as the Chinese Youth Day after the founding of People's Republic of China.

1.第一句中的“一场反帝反封建的政治运动”修饰语很长，可一一对应地翻译成形容词，并列作定语，即an anti-imperialist, anti-feudal, political and culturalmovement。2.翻译第三句“五四运动是以青年学生…”时，可将“是一次爱国运动”作为句子主干，“市民、商人和工人等广泛参与的”处理成with broad participation by...修饰“爱国运动(patriotic movement)”，“以青年学生为主力”则使用in which引导的定语从句来表达。3.“抗议软弱的政府，要求恢复国家主权”是举行各种活动的最终目的，可使用不定式来表达，译为 to protest the weak government and claim to recover the national sovereignty。4.最后—句中的“中华人民共和国成立后正式宣布5月4日为中国青年节”，汉语原文中没有主语，翻译时可采用被动语态。

2、请将下面这段话翻译成英文：五四运动　　以青年学生为主导的五四爱国运动 (the patriotic May 4th Movement) 发生于1919年的5月4日的北京，并迅速转变成全国范围的革命运动。中国工人阶级作为政治舞台上的一支独立力量首次被唤醒。如今，五四运动已作为光辉的一页载入了中华民族的史册(annals)。五四运动绝不仅仅是一个历史事件，它表现出青年人关注国家前途和命运的一种精神，并显示出青年人的责任、使命以及对民族炽热的爱。

参考翻译:

The May 4th Movement　　Taking place on May 4th, 1919 in Beijing, the patriotic May 4th Movement, conducted mainly by the young students, quickly became a nation-wide revolutionary movement. For the first time, the Chinese working class was awakened as an independent force in the political stage. Today, the May 4th Movement as a glorious page has been included in the annals of the Chinese nation. The May 4th Movement is much more than a historical case; it is a spirit showing the young people's concern about the future and destiny of the country,and manifesting the young people's responsibility and mission as well as their fiery love towards the nation.

1.发生于…并转变成…:原文中句子较长，且修饰语很多，但前后句的主语统一，所以在翻译时可将汉语中的“主谓结构”转换成英语中的“从属结构”，可译为taking place...became...这种结构。

2.载入…史册:可译为be included in the annals,还可译为be written into the annals of history或者go down in history。3.青年人关注国家前途和命运的一种精神:可译为a spirit showing the young people's concern about the future and destiny of the country,把“关注”由动词转化为名词进行翻译。词性转换的应用，可减少句子的复杂性，体现句式的变化。4.显示出青年人的责任、使命:翻译为manifest the young people's responsibility and mission。5.炽热的爱:可译为fiery love,也可翻译为passionate love。
