1、习近平主席在颁授仪式上的讲话，有哪些重点句子值得翻译工作者多琢磨？

一百年来，我们党在中华民族发展史和人类社会进步史上写下了壮丽篇章。

The CPC has written a splendid chapter in the history of the Chinese nation's development and that of humanity's progress over the past century.

注意：壮丽篇章的译法

一代又一代中国共产党人，为赢得民族独立和人民解放、实现国家富强和人民幸福，前仆后继、浴血奋战。

Generations of Chinese Communists have fought tenaciously for national independence and liberation, for prosperity and strength of the country, and for the happiness of the people.

注意：浴血奋战的翻译处理

坚定信念，就是坚持不忘初心、不移其志，为党和人民事业奉献自己的一切乃至宝贵生命。

（省略）... maintaining staunch faith, which is to stay true to the original aspiration and dedicate everything, even the precious life, to the cause of the Party and people.

注意：不忘初心、不移其志的合并处理

践行宗旨，就是心中装着人民，工作为了人民，一心一意为百姓造福。

Recipients of the July 1 Medal embody the fundamental tenet of Chinese Communists, which is putting the people at the very center of their hearts, and wholeheartedly serving the people.

注意：心中装着人民，工作为了人民的核心意思表达

拼搏奉献，就是把许党报国、履职尽责作为人生目标。

Recipients of the July 1 Medal embody the fighting and dedication spirit of Chinese Communists, who make dedicating themselves to the Party and the country and fulfilling their duties a lifelong pursuit.

注意：许党报国、履职尽责的核心意思表达

廉洁奉公，就是保持共产党人艰苦朴素、公而忘私的光荣传统。

The July 1 Medal recipients embody the Chinese Communists' integrity and devotion. Such quality and spirit represent the glorious CPC traditions of hard work and plain living, as well as putting public interests above personal interests.

注意：公而忘私的翻译结构转换

江山就是人民，人民就是江山。

The nation is composed of people, and people are all that matter to the nation.

注意：“是”的含义理解

2、张培基翻译的《艰难的国运与雄健的国民》（National Crisis vs Heroic Nation），又有哪些翻译要点值得细细体会？

在《艰难的国运与雄健的国民》一文中，爱国志士李大钊告诉人们，不要为面前的困难吓倒，有困难，但更有希望；与困难作斗争，趣味无穷。他希望动员更多的人投身于救国救民的伟大事业，使救国的事业变成全民的事业。

历史的道路，不会是坦平的，有时走到艰难险阻的境界。这是全靠雄健的精神才能冲过去的。

The course of history is never smooth. It is sometimes beset with difficulties and obstacles and nothing short of a heroic spirit can help surmount them.

注意：这里的断句、分译、合译处理

一条浩浩荡荡的长江大河，有时流到很宽阔的境界，平原无际，一泻万里。有时流到很逼狭的境界，两岸丛山迭岭，绝壁断崖，江河流于期间，回环曲折，极其险峻。民族生命的进展，其经历亦复如是。

A mighty long river sometimes flows through a broad section with plains lying boundless on either side, its waters rolling on non-stop for thousands upon thousands of miles. Sometimes it comes up against a narrow section flanked by high mountains and steep cliffs, winding through a course with many a perilous twist and turn. A nation, in the course of its development, fares likewise.

注意：翻译后，将许多汉语的四字成语化作英语的介词结构、悬垂结构，只抓住最核心的动词做展开。

人类在历史上的生活正如旅行一样。旅途上的征人所经过的地方，有时是坦荡平原，有时是崎岖险路。志于旅途的人，走到平坦的地方，因是高高兴兴地向前走，走到崎岖的境界，俞是奇趣横生，觉得在此奇绝壮绝的境界，俞能感到一种冒险的美趣。

The historical course of man's life is just like a journey. A traveler on a long journey passes through now a broad, level plain, now a rugged, hazardous road. While a determined traveler cheerfully continues his journey upon reaching a safe and smooth place, he finds it still more fascinating to come to a rugged place, the enormously magnificent spectacle of which, he feels, is better able to generate in him a wonderful sensation of adventure.

注意：全文都用了比喻的手法，直白地把本体和喻体对应，更容易让读者进入文章所描述的意境，鼓舞人心。

中华民族现在所逢的史路，是一段崎岖险阻的道路。在这段道路上，实在亦有一种奇绝壮绝的境至，使我们经过此段道路的人，感得一种壮美的趣味，是非有雄健的精神的，不能够感觉到的。

The Chinese nation is now confronted with a rugged and dangerous section of its historical course. Nevertheless, there is also in this section a spectacle of enormous magnificence that inspires in us passers-by a delightful sensation of splendor. And this delightful sensation, however, can only be shared by those with a heroic spirit.

注意：汉语的句子靠含义连接，英语的句子需要用连词，这里的转折、并列处理需要小心。

我们的扬子江、黄河，可以代表我们的民族精神，扬子江及黄河遇见沙漠、遇见山峡都是浩浩荡荡的往前流过去，以成其浊流滚滚，一泻万里的魄势。目前的艰难境界，那能阻抑我们民族生命的前进。我们应该拿出雄健的精神，高唱着进行的曲调，在这悲壮歌声中，走过这崎岖险阻的道路。要知在艰难的国运中建造国家，亦是人生最有趣味的事……

The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are both symbolic of our national spirit. The two mighty rivers negotiate deserts and gorges until their turbid torrents surge forward with irresistible force. The present national crisis can never obstruct the advance of our national life. Let us brace up our spirits and march through this rugged, dangerous road to the tune of our solemn, stirring songs. The greatest joy of life, mind you, is to build up our country during its most difficult days.

注意：通篇的形容词很多，在翻译的时候除了意思的准确，还有音律上的和谐需要注意，例如turbid torrents，solemn and stirring songs，用同样的辅音开头，读起来更加悦激昂。

以上就是本期关于“从七一勋章颁授仪式金句看张培基散文选”的简要介绍。百年征程，中国共产党从诞生之日到如今，走过一路艰辛，历史的长河滔滔向前，唯有不屈的民族精神、昂扬的精神面貌、不懈的奋斗努力，才能让中华民族生生不息。天上虹翻译，与你同行！
