段落翻译练习 From English to Chinese 1. The British may have long been a nation of shopkeepers but they are coming late to the business tourism ． For the past century they have done the touring while their own hotels have slumbered in atmosphere and are inefficiency and even the pubs have closed before eleven. Now ， somewhat to their bewilderment ， they are having to act as hosts to a vast throng of guests ， who ， with dollars ， francs and marks in their pockets and handbag ， are the most successful invaders since the Normans and considerably more welcome. They come to enjoy the antique and traditional but are often less enchanted by the accommodation and catering ， which may share the antiquity. At last ， even the surprised tourist industry is beginning to open its eyes ． Unfortunately it sees only insoluble problems. 参考译文：英国人可能早已精通生意，但其旅 游业的开发却很迟。一个世纪来，是他们自己 在旅游观光，而他们自家的旅馆却心安理得地 躺着睡大觉，效率极低，甚至酒吧也在 11 点钟 以前关门。如今，有点令他们迷惑不解的是， 他们正在被迫接待大批的客人，这些客人口袋 和手提包里装着美元、法郎和马克，是继诺曼 人征服英国以来最成功的入侵者，而且要更受 欢迎得多。这些人为欣赏古迹与传统习俗而来 ，对于这里的食宿，却往往不那么着迷，尽管 这样的食宿可能带有古老的风味。终于，感到 惊讶的旅游业开始觉醒了。不幸的是，它所看 到的只是一些无法解决的问题。 ?
