一、英译汉

English is known as a world language, regularly used by many nations whose English is

not their first language. Like other languages, English has changed greatly. The history of

the English language can be divided into three main periods: Old English, Middle English

and Modern English. The English language started with the invasion of Britain by three

Germanic tribes during the 5th century AD, and they contributed greatly to the formation of

the

English

language.

During

the

medieval

and

early

modern

periods,

the

influence

of

English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence

began

to

be

felt

throughout

the

world.

The

processes

of

European

exploration

and

colonization for several centuries led

to significant change

in

English. Today, American

English

is

particularly

influential,

due

to

the

popularity

of

American

cinema,

television,

music, trade and technology, including the Internet.

一、英译汉

As an important part of the American culture value system,

most American people. Americans view the family as a group whose primary purpose is to

advance

the

happiness

of

individual

members.

In

contrast

to

many

other

cultures,

the

primary responsibility of the American family member is not to advance the family as a

group, either socially or economically. What would be

best for the

family is

not usually

considered

to

be

as

important

as

what

would

be

best

for

the

individual. With

freedom

comes the responsibility to care for oneself, for it is the freedom of choice that carries with

it

the

responsibility:

to

accept

the

consequences

of

the

choices.

Many

Americans

give

their children a lot of freedom because they want them to be independent and self

-

reliant.

Along with the American emphasis on individual freedom, the belief in equality between

parents and children also has had a strong effect on the family.

译文：

作为美国文化价值体系的一个 重要组成部分，

个人主义

受到大多数美国人的推崇。

美国人认为家庭作为一个群体，其主要目的是促进 家庭各成员的幸福。与许多

其他文化相

比，美国家庭成员的主要职责，不是在社会上或经济上提高整个家庭的地位。人们通常认

为，什么是对个人最好的要比什么是对家庭最好的更为重要。与

自由相伴而来的是照顾自

己的责任，因为所选择的自由承载了责任，即必须接受自己 的选择所带来的后果。许多美

国人给他们的孩子很多的自由，因为他们希望孩子
