5.Whatisdonebynightappearsbyday.若要人不知,除非己莫为。
6.Theeyebelievesitself,theearotherpeople.眼睛相信自己,耳朵听信他人。
III.核心词语CoreWordsandPhrases(omitted)要求课前背诵重要术语IV.经典句式TypicalSentences(omitted)要求首先思考如何翻译?
有多少不同的路径?
变换词性、主语、从句会产生什么不同的效果?
V.段落写译ParagraphWritingandTranslating,1.这个问卷调查的目的是想了解这次金融危机如何影响到你们的情绪、如何影响到你们的工作、如何影响到你们的住房、如何影响到你们的储蓄还有送子女上大学的能力。

采用随意的、口头的风格,要使问题容易,几乎人人都懂。
将所有问题按逻辑顺序组织好,由一般到具体的顺序渐进。

先在小组学生或者至少在朋友、同事中间试验性回答这些题目,就可以部分地解决上述问题。
不管怎么说,这样做还是有道理的。

Questionnairesarestandardizedsoitisnotpossibletoexplainanypointsinthequestionsthatparticipantsmightmisinterpret.Thiscouldbepartiallysolvedbypilotingthequestionsonasmallgroupofstudentsoratleastfriendsandcolleagues.Itisadvisabletodothisanyway.c,VI.讨论评估DiscussionandAssessment,首先介绍问卷调查的一般知识,如调查计划、问题设计、实施过程、统计分析和撰写报告等,重点分析如何设计调查问卷的提问方法。
然后,就一家公司网站汉英版本中的翻译问题提出分析意见。
这些问题对我们有何警示意义?
1)问卷调查设计,设计问题时一定要做到一题一问,并将复杂问题简单化。
比如,为了便于回答,把Wheredoyoubuycomputerequipmentandsoftware?
分解成Wheredoyoubuycomputerequipment?
和Wheredoyoubuysoftware?
多设计yes/no形式的问题,并随即问为什么why?
对于提问方式要非常细心,不要先入为主。
比如,问Wouldyougotoashopthatisstand-alone,thatis,onethatisbyitselfinsteadofinamall?
就比Wouldyougotoashopthatssurroundedbyotherbusinessesandlotsoftraffic?
要好得多。
我们可以借用一些例子来分析常用的提问模式。
如关于客户兴趣,可以问Didyouseeanyproductsinourexhibitinwhichyouareinterested?
关于展品印象,可以问Whatimpressedyoumostfavorablyabouttheexhibit?
关于其他产品,可以问Istheresomethingyouwouldhavelikedtohaveseenisplayed?
关于购买意向,可以问Didyouseeanyproductyouwouldliketopurchase?
关于改进意见,可以问Doyouhaveanysuggestionsthatwouldimproveourexhibit?
或者Doyoufeelourproductsarepracticalforyourfamily?
最后,别忘了感谢配合参与的客套话Thankyoufortakingthetimetofilloutthisquestionnaire!
2)例析:
本公司经营的产品广泛用于通讯设备、家用电器、仪器仪表、数码产品行业、电子玩具以及工业自动化设备等各种领域,在电子行业有很高的声誉。

/原译:
Theproductofcompanysoperationisusedinthevariousfieldssuchascommunicationequipment,electrichomeappliances,instrumentappearance,digitalproductprofession,electronictoyaswellasindustrialautomaticequipmentextensively,wehaveveryhighreputationonelectronicprofession.,原译extensively,wehave中的逗号,使得原译不成为并列句或复合句,从语法上看可以考虑用分号,要么改成结果状语从句。
原译对复数十分不敏感,该用复数的名词几乎都没有按要求使用。
如product,digitalproduct,electronictoy,veryhighreputation等;company前面应该用冠词the或物主代词our;inthevariousfields中的定冠词也多余碍事;原文“本公司”可以译成Ourcompany或直接译成We即可;“仪器仪表”中的“仪表”竟然不加思考地译成“仪表堂堂”中的“仪表”,属于机械的对等;“数码产品行业”被译成digitalproductprofession(数码产品职业);extensively作为副词距离它所限制的动词太远;介词on用得也不对。
整体看来,要么是中英文功底都不够好,要么是使用电子词典不加思考就生搬硬套地照用,以致出现这些问题。
建议改译:
