2010各省高考作文题的英语翻译（英语翻译学习经验） 全国卷I—— 漫画作文：餐桌，许多猫吃鱼，就一只猫捉老鼠，别的猫说：“有鱼吃还捉老鼠？” Why chase mice when there are fish to eat? — A cartoon showing one cat chasing a mouse while others eat fish has this as a caption. 全国卷II—— 今年世界读书日这天网上展开了关于浅阅读的行动（甲：什么是浅阅读？乙：就是追求简单轻松，实用有趣的阅读。联合国教科文组织选择4月23日的灵感来自于一个美丽的传说。4月23日是西班牙文豪塞万提斯的忌日，也是加泰罗尼亚地区大众节日“圣乔治节”。传说中勇士乔治屠龙救公主，并获得了公主回赠的礼物-一本书，象征着知识与力量。每到这一天，加泰罗尼亚的妇女们就给丈夫或男朋友赠送一本书，男人们则会回赠一枝玫瑰花。实际上，同一天也是莎士比亚出生和去世的纪念日，又是美国作家纳博科夫、法国作家莫里斯德鲁昂、冰岛诺贝尔文学奖得主拉克斯内斯等多位文学家的生日，所以这一天成为全球性图书日看来“名正言顺”）。 Light Reading — A: What is light reading?

When they catch a fish, they will measure it and toss it back if it is not long enough. They say, ‘Isn’t it better to let the little ones grow up?’ More than two thousand years ago in our country, Mencius said, ‘If fine nets do not enter the pools, there will be more fish and
