1 翻译概论 Warming-up exercises: Translate the followings 1 You are what you think 2 Your abilities count, but the belief that you can succeed affects whether or not you will. 3 It’s a pattern of thinking learned at your mother’s knee.

John can be relied on. He eats no fish and plays the game. ?约翰值得信赖。他忠诚而正直(守规矩)。 3 雅(elegance)：文字古雅 / 切（closeness） 总之，做英译汉时，按中国人的说话思维方式，把内容用通俗的汉语顺畅地表达出来；反之亦然。 1.
