Socialism in the world has suffered serious setbacks. China was faced with unprecedented difficulties and pressure in developing the socialist cause.
10．              在这个决定党和国家命运的重大历史关头，党中央紧紧依靠全党同志和全国各族人民，坚持十一届三中全会议来的路线不动摇，成功地稳住了改革和发展的大局，捍卫了中国特色社会主义伟大事业。	At this critical juncture bearing on the destiny of the Party and state, the Party Central Committee relied firmly on all the comrades in the Party and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups and unswervingly adhered to the line prevailing since the third plenary session of the eleventh Central Committee and thus brought the overall situation of reform and development under control, and safeguarded the great socialist cause with Chinese characteristics
11．              邓小平同志南方谈话以后，十四大确立社会主义市场经济体制的改革目标，改革开放和现代化建设进入了新的阶段。	After comrade Deng Xiaoping made remarks on his tour of the south, the Fourteenth Congress decided to establish a socialist market economy as the goal of reform, thus ushering in a new stage for reform, opening up, and modernization.

4．  一些党员领导干部的形势主义，官僚主义作风，和弄虚作假，铺张浪费的行为相当严重，有些地方腐败现象还很严重。	Formalism, bureaucratic style of work, falsification, extravagance and waste are still serious problems among some leading cadres in our Party, and corruption is still conspicuous in some places.
5．  党的领导方式和执政方式与新形势新任务的要求还不完全适应，有的党组织软弱涣散。	The Party’s way of leadership and governance still is still unable to meet the requirements of the new situation and new tasks. Some Party organizations are feeble and lax.

China’s influence in the word has grown notably and the cohesion of the nation has increased remarkably.
19．              我们党和我国人民做出的艰苦努力和取得的伟大成就举世瞩目，必将载入中华民族伟大复兴的光辉史册。	The hard work of our Party and people and their great achievements have attracted worldwide attention and will surely go down as a glorious page in the annals of the great rejuvenations of the Chinese nation.
20．              回首这十三年来，我们走过的道路很不平坦，成绩来之不易。	A review of the past 13 years shows that we have traversed a tortuous course and that our achievements are hard won.

英文]：Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can.

[中文]：人生是一幅大画布,你应该努力绘出绚丽多彩的画面.

英译汉中四字词组运用

作者：

汉语的四字词组，广义而论，既包括结构严密，不能随意拆开的四言成语，如“雪中送炭”，也包括任意组合而成的四字词组，如“悲喜人生”。这种以“四字格”为基本形式的四字词组，言简意赅，形象生动，音节优美，韵律协调，是汉语的一大特点。英译汉时，若使用恰当，则既能保存原作的丰姿，又使译文大为生色。现代翻译学认为，译文与原文在意义上应动态对应，不要形式对等。因此，从原文的深层意义出发，英语句中的单词，短语，习语，甚至整句，都可译成相应的汉语四字词组。例如：
The girls arrayed themselves in their finest clothes．这些姑娘打扮得花枝招展。
The truth comes out．真相大白。
The two theories vary， but they are compossible.这两种理论虽然各有千秋，但它们是并行不悖的。
Misery loves company。同病相怜。
I congratulate myself on my narrow escape。我庆幸自己死里逃生。
All things conspired to make him happy。事事巧合使他心满意足。
She is richly endowed by nature。她有极高天分，得天独厚。
She exulted to find that she had succeeded。
她为自己大功告成而狂喜。
He contrived to make a mess of the whole thing。他挖空心思反而把事情全盘弄糟了。
You can't come round with such yarns．你别想用这套花言巧语来哄骗我。
It has no counterpart in the world．举世无双。
The storm clouds gathered darkly. 乌云密布。
The data is not enough to be convincing，资料不足，尚难令人信服。
He was daunted by the amount of work still to be done。还有那么多工作要做，弄得他灰心丧气。
He was silent in default by any excuse。他无可推委，哑口无言。
There is no denying the fact．事实无可否认。
Her eyes became dimmed with tears。她泪眼蒙眬。
Defeat after defeat filled us with despair。接二连三的失败，使我们深感绝望。
His speech was dreary。他的演讲枯燥乏味。
The state was in disruption。这个国家处于分崩离析之中。
由此可见，熟练掌握汉语的四字词组，充分理解、挖掘英语原文的深刻含义，就能在翻译中得心应手、运用自如。

Americans working hong hours often look jealously upon Europeans's month-long vacations. While, Europeans envy Americans' high salaries. An opinion piece from the US New Yorker magazine explains how one side of the Atlantic ended up with more free time while the other got more cash.





整天繁忙工作的美国人总嫉妒欧洲人那足足有一月之久的假期，而与此同时欧洲人则嫉妒美国人的高薪。美国纽约人杂志上的一篇杂文就阐述了为什么大西洋两岸相距不远却十分迥异，欧洲人有更多的空闲，而美国人则更有钱。
