with red envelopes under the pillow. 译文 早在清代，中国父母就会在孩子的枕头旁放置橘子、枣子或柿子等水果，同时在枕头下放上红包。 翻译要点 (1) 历史朝代的准确表达：“Qing Dynasty” 译为 “清代”，朝代名直接使用中文称谓，括号内无需标注英文（若面向国际读者可保留 “Qing Dynasty (1644–1912)”，但原句语境默认中文读者）。 (2) 并列结构的中文适配：水果举例通过 “像…… 或……” 连接，末项用 “或” 体现 “任选其一” 的灵活性；“along with red envelopes” 译为 “同时”，将伴随动作转化为时间上的并列，符合汉语 “同时做某事” 的表达习惯。 (3) 方位词的对称性：“beside” 译为 “旁”，“under” 译为 “下”，通过方位词的对比（旁 vs. 下）清晰呈现物品放置的不同位置，语言简洁且对仗。 (4) 文化符号的保留：“red envelopes” 译为 “红包”，保留中国传统文化专有名词，无需翻译为 “红色信封”，读者可直接理解其象征意义（好运、财富）。 分析 该句是包含时间状语、主句及伴随状语的复合句，通过历史背景与具体行为的描述，展现传统习俗的文化内涵。时间状语“As early as the Qing Dynasty”为后文习俗提供时代坐标。主句主干“Chinese parents would place fruit beside their children’s pillows”，其中地点状语 “beside their children’s pillows”，明确放置位置。“along with red envelopes under the pillow”是伴随状语；“under the pillow”为地点状语（在枕头底下），与前文 “beside” 形成方位上的互补，共同构成完整的放置场景。 【1】The ancient poem The Orange Tree by the Warring States period poet Qu Yuan sings the praises of a young man, with the fruit and tree as its central metaphor. 译文 战国时期诗人屈原的古诗《橘颂》以橘树和果实为核心隐喻，歌颂了一位青年。 翻译要点 (1) 历史文化术语的准确性：“Warring States period” 译为 “战国时期”（公元前 475— 前 221 年），中国历史分期固定译法；“Qu Yuan” 译为 “屈原”，人名音译，保留历史人物的国际认知度。 (2) 诗名的翻译策略：“The Orange Tree” 意译为《橘颂》，既保留 “橘树” 的核心意象，又通过 “颂” 字点明文体（颂体诗），符合屈原原作的体裁特征。 (3) 隐喻手法的显性化：“with...as its central metaphor” 译为 “以…… 为核心隐喻”，通过 “以…… 为” 结构明确诗歌的象征手法，避免直译 “作为核心隐喻” 的生硬感。 (4) 动作与手法的逻辑衔接：“sings the praises of” 译为 “歌颂”，将英文的比喻性表达（“歌唱赞美”）转化为中文的常用动词，同时通过 “以…… 为核心隐喻” 解释歌颂的方式，使 “隐喻” 与 “歌颂” 形成因果关联。 分析 该句是通过诗人、作品与隐喻关系揭示诗歌内涵的简单句，包含主语、谓语、宾语及伴随状语。主语“The ancient poem The Orange Tree”（古诗《橘颂》），“ancient” 点明时代属性，“The Orange Tree” 为作品名称，直接说明论述对象；定语“by the Warring States period poet Qu Yuan”（战国时期诗人屈原所作），“by” 引出作者，“the Warring States period” 限定时代背景，“poet” 明确身份，三层定语层层递进，精准定位作品的历史归属；谓语“sings the praises of”（歌颂、赞美），“sings” 以文学化表达替代直白的 “praise”，暗含诗歌的韵律特质，“of” 引出赞美对象；宾语“a young man”（一位青年），作为诗歌的直接描写对象，体现作品的人物主题；伴随状语“with the fruit and tree as its central metaphor”（以果实和树为核心隐喻），“with...as...” 结构表明诗歌的表现手法，“the fruit and tree”（果实与树）对应标题中的 “橘”，“central metaphor”（核心隐喻）揭示其象征意义 —— 借橘树的特性（如 “受命不迁”）喻指青年的品格，使抽象品德具象化。 Meanwhile, the rest looking to buy regular, affordable oranges usually have to deal with demand-driven price rises during Chinese New Year. 译文 与此同时，其他希望购买普通、价格实惠的橙子的人通常不得不应对春节期间因需求翻译要点 (1) 代词指代的明确化：“the rest” 译为 “其他（人）”，补充 “人” 字明确指代对象（前文未提及的人群），避免 “其余的” 的模糊性。 (2) 经济术语的场景适配：“demand-driven” 译为 “需求驱动的”，经济学常用术语，直接对应 “由需求导致的”；“price rises” 译为 “价格上涨”，比 “价格上升” 更口语化，贴合消费语境。 (3) 动词短语的动态处理：“have to deal with” 译为 “不得不应对”，通过 “不得不” 体现被动应对的无奈感，“应对” 比 “处理” 更贴合 “价格上涨” 这一现象级问题。 (4) 文化符号的保留：“Chinese New Year” 译为 “春节”，直接使用中文传统节日名称，无需附加解释，符合目标读者的认知习惯。驱动的价格上涨。 分析 该句是包含独立主格结构的简单句，通过对比凸显春节期间橙子价格波动的现象。 独立主格结构“the rest looking to buy regular, affordable oranges”中，逻辑主语“the rest”（其余的人），指代前文未明确的群体（如消费者），“the” 表特指，与前文形成隐性对比；非谓语短语“looking to buy regular, affordable oranges”（希望购买普通、价格实惠的橙子），“looking” 为现在分词作后置定语，强调主动意图，“regular”（普通的）与 “affordable”（实惠的）并列修饰 “oranges”，点明消费需求的实用性与经济性。主句主干“usually have to deal with demand-driven price rises during Chinese New Year”，状语“usually”（通常）表频率，“during Chinese New Year”（在中国春节期间）限定时间范围，暗示春节消费旺季的特殊性；谓语“have to deal with”（不得不应对），“have to” 含被动无奈意味，体现消费者面对价格上涨的被动性；宾语“demand-driven price rises”（需求驱动的价格上涨），“demand-driven”（需求驱动的）为合成形容词，点明价格上涨的原因 —— 春节期间需求激增，“price rises”（价格上涨）为核心现象，二者组合揭示供需关系对市场的影响。 翻译练习 1.

As José Andres said, it brings back memories, unites people, and 2 us to faraway places. My mom’s 3 cooking in Illinois, a French sandwich from a street stand in Italy, and a grilled hot dog at the Grand Canyon with my family all hold precious 4 . These moments remind us that food is more than sustenance — it’s a bridge between hearts, histories, and shared experiences that linger long after the meal ends. Trying different foods is like 5 new cultures. Sharing meals helps us understand others better. Every bite gives 6 insight into the local community, whether it’s the spices of a Moroccan tagine or the simplicity of a Japanese tea ceremony. That’s why we made a guide to the best 7 in each state, from Alaska’s salmon salad rooted in Indigenous traditions to Wyoming’s bison burgers celebrating frontier heritage. We also share a chef’s story of mastering all the recipes her mentor 8 with her, and customers’ tips on the 9 that transformed her cooking. These tales feel like 10 wisdom from a kitchen companion, —simple, heartfelt, and deeply warm. As Anthony Bourdain said, food might not fix everything, but it’s a 11 start. Let’s begin by 12 new tastes. Whether at home or 13 , food connects us uniquely. So 14 a napkin and enjoy every meal, which is a unique chance to 15 — whether through flavors, stories, or the quiet joy of a shared table. 1．A．dividing B．connecting C．amusing D．testing 2．A．transports B．invites C．restricts D．returns 3．A．terrible B．fast C．homemade D．restaurant 4．A．pain B．memories C．secrets D．dreams 5．A．avoiding B．creating C．exploring D．leaving 6．A．a piece of B．a bite of C．a handful of D．a view of 7．A．book B．drink C．food D．salad 8．A．hid B．shared C．bought D．forgot 9．A．novels B．workouts C．dishes D．hobbies 10．A．flavorful B．useless C．confusing D．technical 11．A．wrong B．tiny C．bad D．good 12．A．refusing B．seeking C．disliking D．forgetting 13．A．abroad B．upstairs C．above D．late 14．A．wash B．lose C．grab D．burn 15．A．imagine B．experience C．regret D．wait 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．C 6．B 7．C 8．B 9．C 10．A 11．D 12．B 13．A 14．C 15．B 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文结合了个人情感、文化体验和对美食的感悟。它通过讲述美食与人们生活的紧密联系，展现了食物在连接人与人、文化与文化之间的独特作用。 1．考查动词词义辨析。句意：食物有一种特殊的联系人的方式。A. dividing分开；B. connecting连接，联系；C. amusing逗乐；D. testing测试。根据下文的“it brings back memories, unites people (它唤起了人们的回忆，将人们团结在一起)”可知，食物有一种特殊的方式来联系人们，唤起回忆，团结人们。故选B。 2．考查动词词义辨析。句意：正如José Andres所说，它能唤起回忆，团结人们，并带我们身临其境到遥远的地方。A. transports运送，使身临其境；B. invites邀请；C. restricts限制；D. returns返回。根据下文的“us to faraway places (我们去遥远的地方)”可知，食物能带我们到遥远的地方，即有一种身临其境的感觉。故选A。 3．考查词义辨析。句意：我妈妈在伊利诺伊州的自制烹饪，意大利街边摊的法国三明治，以及我和家人在大峡谷吃的烤热狗，都承载着珍贵的回忆。A. terrible糟糕的；B. fast快的；C. homemade自制的；D. restaurant餐馆。根据空所在句“My mom’s … cooking in Illinois, a French sandwich from a street stand in Italy, and a grilled hot dog at the Grand Canyon with my family…”及常识可知，这里指的是在伊利诺伊州的家常烹饪，即妈妈自己做的饭。故选C。 4．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我妈妈在伊利诺伊州的自制烹饪，意大利街边摊的法国三明治，以及我和家人在大峡谷吃的烤热狗，都承载着珍贵的回忆。A. pain痛苦；B. memories回忆；C. secrets秘密；D. dreams梦想。根据上文的“it brings back memories (它勾起了我的回忆)”以及下文的“These moments remind us that food is more than sustenance (这些时刻提醒我们，食物不仅仅是维持生计的东西)”可知，这些食物都承载着珍贵的回忆。故选B。 5．考查动词词义辨析。句意：尝试不同的食物就像探索新的文化。A. avoiding避免；B. creating创造；C. exploring探索；D. leaving离开。根据下文的“new cultures (新文化)”及常识可知，此处表示尝试不同的食物就像是在探索新的文化。故选C。 6．考查短语辨析。句意：每一口都能让我们一口了解当地社区，无论是摩洛哥炖锅的香料，还是日本茶道的简约。A. a piece of一片，一块；B. a bite of一口；C. a handful of一把；D. a view of一片……的景色。根据上文的“Every bite gives”可知，此处指“每一口”都提供对当地社区的了解，“一口”更形象贴切。故选B。 7．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这就是为什么我们制作了一份各州最佳食物指南，从阿拉斯加以土著传统为基础的三文鱼沙拉到怀俄明州庆祝边境遗产的野牛汉堡。A. book书；B. drink饮料；C. food食物；D. salad沙拉。根据上文的“Trying different foods (尝试不同的食物)”以及下文的“from Alaska’s salmon salad rooted in Indigenous traditions to Wyoming’s bison burgers celebrating frontier heritage (从阿拉斯加以土著传统为基础的三文鱼沙拉到怀俄明州庆祝边境遗产的野牛汉堡)”可知，这里指的是各州的最佳食物。故选C。 8．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们还分享了一位厨师的故事，她掌握了导师分享给她的所有食谱，以及顾客对改变她烹饪的菜肴的秘诀。A. hid隐藏；B. shared分享；C. bought买；D. forgot忘记。根据上文的“a chef’s story of mastering all the recipes (一个厨师掌握所有食谱的故事)”以及下文的“with her (和她)”可知，这里指的是厨师掌握了导师与她分享的所有食谱。故选B。 9．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们还分享了一位厨师的故事，她掌握了导师分享给她的所有食谱，以及顾客对改变她烹饪的菜肴的秘诀。A. novels小说；B. workouts锻炼；C. dishes菜肴；D. hobbies爱好。根据空所在句“and customers’ tips on the … that transformed her cooking (以及顾客对改变她烹饪的……的秘诀)”及全文内容可知，本文围绕美食展开，这里指这位厨师烹饪的菜肴。故选C。 10．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这些故事感觉就像来自厨房伙伴的有味道的智慧——简单、真挚、深情。A. flavorful有味道的；B. useless无用的；C. confusing令人困惑的；D. technical技术的。根据下文的“wisdom from a kitchen companion, — simple, heartfelt, and deeply warm”及常识可知，“厨房伙伴的陪伴”是有味道的，此处指这些故事感觉就像来自厨房伙伴的有味道的智慧。故选A。 11．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：正如Anthony Bourdain所说，食物可能无法解决所有问题，但它是一个好的开始。A. wrong错误的；B. tiny微小的；C. bad坏的；D. good好的。根据上文的“food might not fix everything (食物可能无法解决所有问题)”以及“but”可知，此处两句是转折关系，即食物虽然不能解决所有问题，但它是一个好的开始。故选D。 12．考查动词词义辨析。句意：让我们从寻找新口味开始吧。A. refusing拒绝；B. seeking寻找；C. disliking不喜欢；D. forgetting忘记。根据本句“Let’s begin by … new tastes.

One snowy December day, I wandered out of my New York apartment and 1 for a grocery store on Third Ave. Behind me someone shouted, “Where can I find peaches?” I turned around to 2 an annoyed woman standing outside the greengrocer’s. The absurdity (荒谬) of the moment 3 me — why must someone buy peaches in the middle of winter? I was already 4 of the issues facing the food system: industrialized farming destroying our soils, unclear supply chains leaving citizens 5 in making the right buying decisions, and the 6 of ultra-processed foods with zero nutritional value in supermarkets, schools and hospitals, to name a few. But this moment underscored our serious 7 with nature and its seasons. We had 8 the idea that food could and should be eaten any time of the year. Too terrible!

with red envelopes under the pillow. 译文 早在清代，中国父母就会在孩子的枕头旁放置橘子、枣子或柿子等水果，同时在枕头下放上红包。 翻译要点 (1) 历史朝代的准确表达：“Qing Dynasty” 译为 “清代”，朝代名直接使用中文称谓，括号内无需标注英文（若面向国际读者可保留 “Qing Dynasty (1644–1912)”，但原句语境默认中文读者）。 (2) 并列结构的中文适配：水果举例通过 “像…… 或……” 连接，末项用 “或” 体现 “任选其一” 的灵活性；“along with red envelopes” 译为 “同时”，将伴随动作转化为时间上的并列，符合汉语 “同时做某事” 的表达习惯。 (3) 方位词的对称性：“beside” 译为 “旁”，“under” 译为 “下”，通过方位词的对比（旁 vs. 下）清晰呈现物品放置的不同位置，语言简洁且对仗。 (4) 文化符号的保留：“red envelopes” 译为 “红包”，保留中国传统文化专有名词，无需翻译为 “红色信封”，读者可直接理解其象征意义（好运、财富）。 分析 该句是包含时间状语、主句及伴随状语的复合句，通过历史背景与具体行为的描述，展现传统习俗的文化内涵。时间状语“As early as the Qing Dynasty”为后文习俗提供时代坐标。主句主干“Chinese parents would place fruit beside their children’s pillows”，其中地点状语 “beside their children’s pillows”，明确放置位置。“along with red envelopes under the pillow”是伴随状语；“under the pillow”为地点状语（在枕头底下），与前文 “beside” 形成方位上的互补，共同构成完整的放置场景。 【1】The ancient poem The Orange Tree by the Warring States period poet Qu Yuan sings the praises of a young man, with the fruit and tree as its central metaphor. 译文 战国时期诗人屈原的古诗《橘颂》以橘树和果实为核心隐喻，歌颂了一位青年。 翻译要点 (1) 历史文化术语的准确性：“Warring States period” 译为 “战国时期”（公元前 475— 前 221 年），中国历史分期固定译法；“Qu Yuan” 译为 “屈原”，人名音译，保留历史人物的国际认知度。 (2) 诗名的翻译策略：“The Orange Tree” 意译为《橘颂》，既保留 “橘树” 的核心意象，又通过 “颂” 字点明文体（颂体诗），符合屈原原作的体裁特征。 (3) 隐喻手法的显性化：“with...as its central metaphor” 译为 “以…… 为核心隐喻”，通过 “以…… 为” 结构明确诗歌的象征手法，避免直译 “作为核心隐喻” 的生硬感。 (4) 动作与手法的逻辑衔接：“sings the praises of” 译为 “歌颂”，将英文的比喻性表达（“歌唱赞美”）转化为中文的常用动词，同时通过 “以…… 为核心隐喻” 解释歌颂的方式，使 “隐喻” 与 “歌颂” 形成因果关联。 分析 该句是通过诗人、作品与隐喻关系揭示诗歌内涵的简单句，包含主语、谓语、宾语及伴随状语。主语“The ancient poem The Orange Tree”（古诗《橘颂》），“ancient” 点明时代属性，“The Orange Tree” 为作品名称，直接说明论述对象；定语“by the Warring States period poet Qu Yuan”（战国时期诗人屈原所作），“by” 引出作者，“the Warring States period” 限定时代背景，“poet” 明确身份，三层定语层层递进，精准定位作品的历史归属；谓语“sings the praises of”（歌颂、赞美），“sings” 以文学化表达替代直白的 “praise”，暗含诗歌的韵律特质，“of” 引出赞美对象；宾语“a young man”（一位青年），作为诗歌的直接描写对象，体现作品的人物主题；伴随状语“with the fruit and tree as its central metaphor”（以果实和树为核心隐喻），“with...as...” 结构表明诗歌的表现手法，“the fruit and tree”（果实与树）对应标题中的 “橘”，“central metaphor”（核心隐喻）揭示其象征意义 —— 借橘树的特性（如 “受命不迁”）喻指青年的品格，使抽象品德具象化。 Meanwhile, the rest looking to buy regular, affordable oranges usually have to deal with demand-driven price rises during Chinese New Year. 译文 与此同时，其他希望购买普通、价格实惠的橙子的人通常不得不应对春节期间因需求翻译要点 (1) 代词指代的明确化：“the rest” 译为 “其他（人）”，补充 “人” 字明确指代对象（前文未提及的人群），避免 “其余的” 的模糊性。 (2) 经济术语的场景适配：“demand-driven” 译为 “需求驱动的”，经济学常用术语，直接对应 “由需求导致的”；“price rises” 译为 “价格上涨”，比 “价格上升” 更口语化，贴合消费语境。 (3) 动词短语的动态处理：“have to deal with” 译为 “不得不应对”，通过 “不得不” 体现被动应对的无奈感，“应对” 比 “处理” 更贴合 “价格上涨” 这一现象级问题。 (4) 文化符号的保留：“Chinese New Year” 译为 “春节”，直接使用中文传统节日名称，无需附加解释，符合目标读者的认知习惯。驱动的价格上涨。 分析 该句是包含独立主格结构的简单句，通过对比凸显春节期间橙子价格波动的现象。 独立主格结构“the rest looking to buy regular, affordable oranges”中，逻辑主语“the

“oranges”，点明消费需求的实用性与经济性。主句主干“usually have to deal with demand-driven price rises during Chinese New Year”，状语“usually”（通常）表频率，“during Chinese New Year”（在中国春节期间）限定时间范围，暗示春节消费旺季的特殊性；谓语“have to deal with”（不得不应对），“have to” 含被动无奈意味，体现消费者面对价格上涨的被动性；宾语“demand-driven price rises”（需求驱动的价格上涨），“demand-driven”（需求驱动的）为合成形容词，点明价格上涨的原因 —— 春节期间需求激增，“price rises”（价格上涨）为核心现象，二者组合揭示供需关系对市场的影响。 翻译练习 1.

It takes many years for a person to learn Beijing Opera, but Rachel said she mastered the basics “rather 1 ” after being “lucky enough to learn from one of the best teachers.” “I am still learning to 2 .

Goinqogyai, a master of Thangka art, has 1 the art for three decades and has discovered the differences between different forms of art when practicing it.

When studying traditional Chinese painting in Beijing, he attempted to 4 the realistic techniques of traditional landscape and bird paintings to Thangka art. Then he was shocked by an 5 he had never seen before. “It is 6 to present snow-covered mountains, lakes and forests in a 7 way,” he recalled. After his 8 in Beijing, Goinqogyai began to establish an art 9 of his own, which integrates elements of traditional Chinese painting with techniques of the Mansar School from the 17th and 18th centuries. To 10 nature up close, he often takes trips into the wild to photograph mountains, rivers and lakes, and then later 11 them with ink and brush.

As José Andres said, it brings back memories, unites people, and 2 us to faraway places. My mom’s 3 cooking in Illinois, a French sandwich from a street stand in Italy, and a grilled hot dog at the Grand Canyon with my family all hold precious 4 . These moments remind us that food is more than sustenance — it’s a bridge between hearts, histories, and shared experiences that linger long after the meal ends. Trying different foods is like 5 new cultures. Sharing meals helps us understand others better. Every bite gives 6 insight into the local community, whether it’s the spices of a Moroccan tagine or the simplicity of a Japanese tea ceremony. That’s why we made a guide to the best 7 in each state, from Alaska’s salmon salad rooted in Indigenous traditions to Wyoming’s bison burgers celebrating frontier heritage. We also share a chef’s story of mastering all the recipes her mentor 8 with her, and customers’ tips on the 9 that transformed her cooking. These tales feel like 10 wisdom from a kitchen companion, —simple, heartfelt, and deeply warm. As Anthony Bourdain said, food might not fix everything, but it’s a 11 start. Let’s begin by 12 new tastes. Whether at home or 13 , food connects us uniquely.

One snowy December day, I wandered out of my New York apartment and 1 for a grocery store on Third Ave. Behind me someone shouted, “Where can I find peaches?” I turned around to 2 an annoyed woman standing outside the greengrocer’s. The absurdity (荒谬) of the moment 3 me — why must someone buy peaches in the middle of winter? I was already 4 of the issues facing the food system: industrialized farming destroying our soils, unclear supply chains leaving citizens 5 in making the right buying decisions, and the 6 of ultra-processed foods with zero nutritional value in supermarkets, schools and hospitals, to name a few. But this moment underscored our serious 7 with nature and its seasons. We had 8 the idea that food could and should be eaten any time of the year. Too terrible! An inner voice whispered: “Do something to 9 seasonal flavour into people’s lives.” After graduation, 10 by the skyscrapers (摩天大楼) and energy of the Big Apple, I landed a decent job with a 11 salary, managing financial investment for clients. Yet my work was stuck in an undercurrent of greed that I struggled to 12 . Now it was time. I was 13 my 40s. If I did not act now, it would be too late. An urgency 14 and food became my “North Star”. That was the launcher that 15 me from a New York skyscraper to a London food market. 1．A．spoke B．cheered C．worked D．headed 2．A．spot B．hit C．approach D．comfort 3．A．amused B．tricked C．struck D．hurt 4．A．afraid B．aware C．ashamed D．careful 5．A．impatient B．reasonable C．picky D．powerless 6．A．assessment B．prejudice C．dominance D．classification 7．A．dissatisfaction B．disconnect C．familiarity D．mixture 8．A．normalized B．finalized C．commercialized D．prioritized 9．A．program B．fold C．channel D．transform 10．A．greeted B．attracted C．surrounded D．refreshed 11．A．flexible B．basic C．handsome D．fair 12．A．escape B．maintain C．interpret D．reveal 13．A．averaging B．nearing C．braving D．battling 14．A．kicked in B．built up C．passed by D．caught on 15．A．witnessed B．accompanied C．saved D．shot Passage 2 Elaine’s entrepreneurial (创业) journey started after she realized that she’d never seen a matcha (抹茶) bar in Dublin, Ireland.

This matcha lover’s first 7 was in London. Since she knew there were plenty of trendy matcha bars there, it seemed like the 8 place to do some research. Once she had a good idea of what the scene was like, she started taking steps to bring 9 to her own life. She ordered tons of different teas online for 10 . When that wasn’t enough, she flew to Japan to get the best right at the source. This was also an incredible opportunity for her to 11 how matcha was properly grown, prepared and served. Elaine was completely amazed when she 12 the difference between teas! When Elaine returned to Ireland, she found a space for her 13 .
