第一篇汉译英译文 中意两国都是拥有悠久历史和灿烂文化的文明古国。2000 多年前，古罗马正处 于文明鼎盛时期，中华文明也达到了历史的巅峰，一条 “丝绸之路”将两大文明 联结在一起。威尼斯商人马可 ·波罗、利玛窦、郎世宁等是为中西文化交流做出 贡献的意大利人，更为中国人民所熟知。 Both China and Italy are ancient civilizations that boast a long history and splendid cultures. More than 2, 000 years ago, when the ancient Roman civilization was in its heyday and the Chinese civilization also reached a historical peak, the Silk Road was built to link these two great civilizations. Those Italians who had made considerable contributions to cultural exchanges between Italy and China such as the merchants of Venice — Marco Polo, Matteo Ricci and Giuseppe Castiglione have all become well known to the Chinese people. 过去意大利援助过中国，现在意大利希望中国企业家去那里投资。20 年前单向 的 “丝绸之路”已不能适应现在中国发展的形势，我们需要再开放第二条“丝绸 之路”。为此，意大利驻华大使馆做了许多工作，通过简化签证等程序，方便更 多中国人去意大利投资、旅游。 The Italian used to aid the Chinese people, and now they hope that more Chinese entrepreneurs can go and invest in Italy. 20 years ago, the one-way Silk Road can no longer meet the demand of Chinas current development, so another one needs building. For this reason, the Italian Embassy has made a lot of efforts by simplifying visa application to facilitate more Chinese people to invest and travel in Italy. 就个人爱好而言，骑自行车去月坛的邮票市场搜集邮票是我的最爱。我还喜欢听 中国的京剧，乐于搜集中国古老的服装及京剧服饰。我的夫人也喜欢中国的生活， 认为这里很适合她。我和夫人了解中国。但我认为大多数西方人包括意大利人对 中国认识不够。如果现在把北京三里屯或上海浦东照片带回意大利，没人相信这 就是中国。 From my perspective, riding a bike to the stamp market around the Altar of the Moon to collect stamps is my favorite. I also take delight in listening to the Peking opera and collecting ancient Chinese clothing and opera costumes. My wife also enjoys the life in China, considering it suitable for her. Although my wife and I understand China, I believe most Westerners including most Italians lack the knowledge of this country. lf we bring the photo
