求大家给翻译几篇文章啊 谢谢 有高分奖励? 4、 how men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. all we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. 人们是怎样发明词汇的,这个问题是没有答案的。也可以说,语言的起源是神秘的。所有我们知道的是,人类和动物不同,不知道因为什么,发明了表达思想和感受,动作和事务的声音,因此他们可以相互通讯联系。随后他们一致同意使用确定的符号,它被称为字,这些字可以合并代表一定的声音,可以被写下来。这些声音,即可以用嘴说出来,也可以用字的形式写出来,被叫做词汇。 the power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases. 词汇的力量在于它们的结合,代表了我们脑海中的事务。词汇通过经验变得充满了意义;我们生活的时间越长,更多的某些确定的词汇会在回忆中带给我们过去的喜悦和悲伤;我们读书读得越多,学到的越多,词汇的数量就会更多,代表的意义也会增加。 great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. this charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. above all, the real poet is a master of words. he can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. we should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. 伟大的作家是那些不但有伟大的思想,而且可以通过文字和词汇表达思想,在我们的精神上和情绪上强烈地影响我们的人。这种让人着迷的、讲述故事性质的文字的使用就是我们所说的文学风格。综上所述,诗人是文字和词汇的大师。他可以象按照音乐歌唱一样,描述他的思想,通过改变文字的位置和结合方式,感动人,驱人泪下。因此我们要学习仔细选择文字、词汇,精确使用它们,否则,它会使得我们的演讲变得愚蠢和粗俗。查看更多
