段落翻译练习-汉译英答案

汉译英：1徐霞客一生周游考察了十六个省，足迹几乎遍及全国。他在考察的过程中，从来不盲目迷信书本上的结论。他发现前人研究地理的记载有许多很不可靠的地方。为了进行真实细致的考察，他很少乘车坐船，几乎全靠双脚翻山越岭，长途跋涉；为了弄清大自然的真相，他总是挑选道路艰险的山区，人迹稀少的森林进行考察，发现了许多奇山秀景；他常常选择不同的时间和季节，多次重游各地名山，反复观察变换的奇景。XuXiaketouredandinvestigated16provincesinhislifetime,coveringalmostthewholeofChina/thewholecountry.Whenhewascarryingouthisinvestigations,henevertookblindbeliefintheconclusionsinthebooks.Insteadhefoundalotofunreliablepointsinthegeographicrecordstakenbyhispredecessors.Inordertomakehisinvestigationsreliableandthorough,heseldomtraveledbycarriageorboat.Instead,hetooklong,arduoustripsonfootalmostallthetime,climbingmountainsandhills.Inordertolearnaboutthetruthofnature,healwayschosetoconductinvestigationsinmountainousareaswithdangerousroadsandinlonely/untraveledwoods,wherehediscoveredalotofmagnificentpeaksandbeautifulsights.2多少年来，我养成了一个习惯：每天早晨四点在黎明以前起床工作。我不出去跑步或散步，而是一下床就干活儿。因此我对黎明前的北京的了解是在屋子里感觉到的。我从前在什么报上读过一篇文章，讲黎明时分天安门广场上的清洁工人。那情景必然是非常动人的，可惜我从未能见到，只是心向往之而已。Formanyyears,Ihavebeeninthehabitofgettingupbeforedaybreaktostartworkatfour.Insteadofgoingoutforajogorwalk,I’llsetaboutmyworkassoonasI’moutofbed.Asaresult,itisfrominsidemystudythatI'vegotthefeelofpredawnBeijing.Yearsago,IhituponanewspaperarticleaboutstreetcleanersinTian’anmenSquareatdaybreak.Itmusthavebeenaverymovingscene,butwhatapityIhaven’tseenitwithmyowneyes.Icanonlypictureitinmymindlongingly.3洞庭湖是中国第二大淡水湖。洞庭湖畔的岳阳楼，是中国三大名楼中唯一保持原址原貌的国家重点保护文物。岳阳楼所处的位置极好，它屹立于岳阳古城之上，背靠岳阳城，俯瞰洞庭湖，遥对君山岛，北依长江，南通湘江。自古以来，就是人们观光旅游的好地方。LakeDongtingisChina’ssecondlargestfreshwaterlake.YueyangTower,whichislocatedonitsshores,isanationalkeyculturalrelicforprotectionastheonlyoneofChina’sfamoustowersthatiskeptinitsoriginalconditionatitsoriginalsite.Thetowerisveryfavorablylocated,standingasitdoesonYueyang’sancientcitywallwiththecitybehindandoverlookingLakeDongtingtothedistantJunshanIsle;toitsnorthistheYangtzeRiverandtothesouththeXiangRiver.Sinceancienttimes,thetowerhasbeenagoodplaceforsightseeingandtouring.(Picture)4家庭是社会的基本单位，它的结构随着社会的发展而变化。在中国几千年的封建社会里，自给自足的小农经济占主导地位，家庭不仅是日常生活的基本单位，也是生产单位。理想的、令人羡慕的家庭是五世同堂，家里的大事由男人做主。近百年来，中国发生了巨大变化，中国社会经过漫长的封建时期，半封建、半殖民地时期进入了社会主义社会。这具有历史意义的变化使中国家庭的结构也改变了。人口众多的大家庭开始分成较小的家庭和直系家庭，总的趋势是出现了越来越多的核心家庭。Thestructureofthefamily,whichisabasicunitofthesociety,changesalongwiththedevelopmentofthesociety.InChina'sfeudalsocietywhichlastedseveralthousandyears,aself-sufficientsmallpeasanteconomypredominated.Thefamilywasnotonlythebasicunitineverydaylife,butalsoabasicunitofproduction.Anidealfamilyadmiredbyallconsistedof5generations,withthemalemembersmakingalltheimportantdecisions.Duringthelasthundredyears,greatchangeshavetakenplaceinChina.TheChinesesociety,whichhadgonethroughthelongfeudalperiod,andlaterthesemi-colonial,semi-feudalperiod,hadturnedintoasocialistsociety.ThishistoricchangehasledtochangesintheChinesefamilystructure.Largefamiliesbegantodivideintosmallerextendedfamiliesandstemfamilies,withthetrendpointingtowardtheemergenceofmoreandmorenuclearfamilies.5目前，人类的生存环境正在遭到破坏，美丽的大自然已经不那么美丽了。保护野生动物，也就是保护人娄自己。我强烈呼吁：不要再捕杀黑猩猩，不要再捕杀野生动物了，让我们人类多一些地球上的朋友，多给我们下一代保留一些野生动物吧!否则，地球将毁灭在人类手中，人类将毁灭在自己手中。Atpresent,man’slivingenvironmentisbeingruined,andbeautifulnatureisnolongersobeautiful.Protectionofwildlifeisprotectionofmanhimself.SoIappealstronglytoalltostopkillingthechimpanzeeoranyotherwildanimal.Letushumanbeingshavemorefriendsontheearth,andleavemorewildlifeforfuturegenerations.Ortheearthwouldbedestroyedbyman,andmanbymanhimself.
