英语六级翻译训练题参考译文
In China,besides handshaking,when meeting friends and relatives, or paying a visit to someone during the Spring Festival,the fist-and-palm salute is also common etiquette. It is an important etiquette in ancient China with a history of more than 2,000 years. The fist-and-palm salute was formed in the West Zhou Dynasty, and later it became the etiquette when meeting peers. Chinese people show their respect to others through distance,which is different from Western people who usually show respect through physical closeness. Fist-and-palm salute is done from certain distance, which is in line with modem hygiene requirements. So many etiquette experts believe that fist-and-palm salute is the most appropriate communication etiquette.

2.除了握手之外:“除了…之外”可译为besides或apart from。

每种文化都有自己的行为准则,中国也不例外。在中国,跟别人打招呼时,你或者点个头,或者微微鞠个躬。握手也很常见,但你要等到中国朋友先伸手才可以。另外,与西方社会的做法截然相反,中国人不太喜欢被陌生人触碰。所以不 要轻易地触碰别人,除非你完全有这样的必要。最后一点,根据儒家思想 (Confiicianism)的观点,老人在任何情况下都应该受到年轻人的尊敬。你应该总是以老人为先,并对他们表本最大的敬意。

Every culture has its rules on how to act,and China is no different. In China,to greet someone, you nod your head,or you bow slightly. Handshakes are also common, but you should wait for your Chinese partner to initiate the motion. In addition,as opposed to those found in Western society,Chinese people do not enjoy being touched by strangers. Don’t touch someone unless you absolutely have to.Finally, from the perspective of Confucianism, the elders are to be respected in every situation by those who are younger. You should always acknowledge the elders first,and show the most respect to them.
