The concepts of YIN-YANG and WU XING laid atheoreticalfoundation for TCM. WU XING refers to five basic substances in the nature, thatis, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
翻译要点
①气、形、*的统一体:“气、形、*”这种中文词汇在英文中鲜有恰当的词汇与之对应,翻译成拼音即可;“统一体”可译为unity
②望、闻、问、切:“望”即“观察”,可译为observation;“闻”有“听”的意思,也有“嗅”的意思,在中医里也是如此,原文里已经给出提示,译为 auscultation and olfaction; “问”即“询问”,翻译为 inquiry; “切” 指“诊脉”,翻译为pulse diagnosis
③阴阳调和:即阴阳平衡,可译为make YIN and YANG in equilibrium或者 beharmony between YIN and YANG

(2)中国古人不断告诉读书人,要想替国家做事,必须先把家庭治理好。
(3)中国人不仅把婚姻看成一男一女的结合,还把它当作社会的基础,是很庄重的事,一点也不能马虎。

参考译文
Chinese people define marriage as a lifelong event, because they have a strong family ideal, with the belief that running a good family is the foundation for running the country. Chinese ancients kept warning scholars that they should run their families well before they could work for the country. Therefore, Chinese people regard marriage not only as the union of a man and a woman, but also as the foundation of society, which should be treated with solemnity and without the least rashness. in old Chinese marriage arrangements, one didnt choose his or her spouse, who was instead arranged by the parents with the help of matchmakers. In modern times, one chooses his or her own marriage partner, but still with the assent of the parents.
翻译要点
①本句第一个短句的主语是“中国人”,第三个短句的逻辑主语也是“中国人”,为便于将三个短句合并译为英语长句,第二个短句可以转化为“中国人有很重的家族观念”来翻译,从而将其主语从“中国人的家族观念”转换为“中国人”。第三个短句的译法较多,既可以译为介词短语,也可以译为分词短语。Chinese people define marriage as a lifelong event, because they have a strong family ideal, with the belief that running a good family is the foundation for running the country.Chinese people define marriage as a lifelong event, because they have a strong family ideal, believing that running a good family is the foundation for running the country.
②短句“要想替国家做事”和“必须先把家庭治理好”都是无主句。根据第一个短句可判断出,后两个短句的逻辑主语都是“读书人”,翻译时需增添主语they,以使译文句子结构完整。Chinese ancients kept warning scholars that they should run their families well before they could work for the country.
③“不仅……还……”可以采用并列结构句型“not only ... but also ... ”来译,这样“把……看成……”和“把……当作……”两个重复的短语只需译出一个即可。“是很庄重的事,一点也不能马虎”是无主句,根据上文可知其逻辑主语是“婚姻”,翻译时可以采用关系代词which作主语,替代“婚姻”(marriage),从而将后两个短句译为定语从句,连接到主句上。Therefore, Chinese people regard marriage not only as the union of a man and a woman, but also as the foundation of society, which should be treated with solemnity and without the least rashness.
④这句话讲的是过去的情况,其译文需采用过去时。“旧式的中国婚姻”并非是“自己选择对象”的主语,而是表示“在旧式的婚姻中,(人们)并不是自己选择对象”,翻译时需增添主语one,表示是当时普遍存在的情况。In old Chinese marriage arrangements, one didnt choose his or her spouse, who was instead arranged by the parents with the help of matchmakers.
⑤“婚姻”并非是“自己做主”的主语,而是表示“在婚姻中,(人们)自己做主”,翻译时需添加主语one,以使译文句子完整、逻辑合理。In modern times, one chooses his or her own marriage partner, but still with the assent of the parents.
琴棋书画
(1)中国人最懂得消遣,中国从前的读书人,闲暇时间以琴棋书画作为消遣。
(2)在中国人看来,艺术品的好坏,意味着作者人格的高低,所以弹琴、下棋、写字和绘画,都代表着一个人的修养。

(4)下棋不是为了胜负,而是磨练耐性和使人眼光远大。

参考译文
Music, Chess, Calligraphy and PaintingChinese people have the best idea about recreation. Scholars of ancient times enjoyed themselves through music, chess, calligraphy and painting in their leisure time. In the eyes of the Chinese people, the quality of the artifacts is a reflection of the character of the creator. Thus, playing musical instruments, playing chess, writing calligraphy or painting show ones culture. By playing music, one does not aim to be a musician but to enter a broader world, purifying ones soul in the beautiful music. By playing chess, one does not aim to be the winner but to cultivate patience and foresight. By calligraphy, one aims not only to write beautifully but also to improve his mind. Through painting, one expresses an imaginary world with simple lines.
翻译要点
(1)这句话中的“最懂得消遣”容易被译为know recreation best,这一译法存在模糊信息,是know recreation better than other people know it? 还是knowrecreation better than they know anything else? 因此这一译法不可取。建议译者不妨将“最懂得”进行转换,译为have the best idea,译文就会显得较为清晰。“以琴棋书画”在原文中作状语,翻译时可将其放在谓语之后。
(2)“人格的高低”中的“高低”可省略不译,也就是说“艺术品的质量反映了作者的人格”。动词“意味着”可以转译为名词reflection或symbol。
(3)原文中“做音乐家”的逻辑主语并非是“弹琴”,而是“弹琴的人”,译文需要加以补充,采用one或you作主语。“不是……而是……”可以用英语的并列结构句型“not ... but ...”来翻译。“随着美妙的琴声”在原文中作状语,翻译时可将其置于谓语之后。
(4)这句话的主语同样应当采用one或you,而非“下棋”。“胜负”可转译为名词the winner。
(5)写字不仅是把字写漂亮,同时也是为了陶冶情操。 解析 这句话的主语同样应当采用one或you,而非“写字”。“不仅……而且……”可以用英语的并列结构句型“not only ... but also ...”来翻译。
(6)这句话的主语同样应当采用one或you,而非“绘画”。本句中的主干部分是“表现自己的想象的世界”,“借着画面上的简单线条”是动作的状语,翻译时可以用with引导的介词结构,将其置于谓语之后。
