中国梦
2013-01-21
最近,我国人民在热议“中国梦”。中国梦,可以译为 Chinese Dream或 China Dream。例如:1.中华民族复兴是自鸦片战争以来近代最大的“中国梦”。The rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has been the greatest Chinese Dream in modern times since the Opium Wars.2.到2020年实现全面建成小康社会是21世纪头20年的“中国梦”。To complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects by 2020 is the Chinese Dream in the first two decades of the 21st century. “实现梦想”,可以译为 to realize one's dream。例如:3.中国共产党有决心和信心团结和领导我国各民族人民实现“中国梦”。The Communist Party of China has the resolve and confidence in uniting and leading the people of all ethnic groups in China to realize the Chinese Dream.4.实现美丽的“中国梦”需要艰苦劳动。To realize the beautiful China Dream requires hard work. 有人将“中国梦”与“美国梦”进行了比较。例如:5.中国需要有自己的梦想。所谓“美国梦”对中国是不适用的。 China needs its own dream. The so-called American Dream won't work for China. 人们对“美国梦”(American Dream)有各种解释。例如:6.The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, a set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and success, and an upward social mobility achieved through hard work.“美国梦”是美国的民族道德意识、是一整套理想,其中自由包括获得繁荣成功的机会,以及通过努力工作来实现的向上的社会流动。 马丁·路德·金的著名演讲 I Have a Dream(《我有一个梦》)表达了美国黑人争取平等的“美国梦”。他说道:7.Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. 即使我们面临现在和将来都存在的困难,我仍然有一个梦。这是深深扎根于“美国梦”的一个梦。▲(本栏目供稿:王逢鑫教授)
