这些题目都是前几个月外院老师出的MTI笔译大赛题目，准备翻译硕士的可以作为练习。

汉译英：
（I）八达岭长城
长城是中国古代修筑的防御工程，是中华民族的象征，至今已有2000多年的历史。今天人们看到的是明代长城，它西起甘肃嘉峪关，东到山海关，绵延5000多千米，因此被称为万里长城。八达岭长城位于北部的延庆县，距离北京市中心60千米。在这里长城如巨龙一般在崇山峻岭之间沿山脊蜿蜒曲折，烽火台和敌楼密布。墙高7.8米，顶宽7.8米。这里是长城重要关口居庸关的前哨，海拔高达1015米，地势险要，城关坚固，历来是兵家必争之地。八达岭长城是明代长城中保存最好的一段。
（II）长白山
长白山位于安图、抚松、长白三县境内，南部和东南部与朝鲜毗邻。主峰海拔2691米，海拔在2500米以上的山峰有16座。它是满族的发祥地，清朝时期曾定它为圣地。长白山是我国与五岳齐名、风光秀丽、景色迷人的关东第一山，因其主峰白头山多白色浮石与积雪而闻名。由于山地地形垂直变化的影响，长白山
从山脚到山顶，随着高度的增加形成了由温带到寒带的4个景观带，故有“一山有四季，十里不同天”之说，是我国具有世界意义的典型自然综合体。
长白山天池位于长白山主峰白头山顶。它是火山喷发自然形成的我国最大的火山口湖，因为它所处的位置高，水面海拔达2194米，所以被称为“天池”。天池是长白山最著名的景点，也是人们游长白山的必游之地。天池湖面面积10平方公里，是一个巨大的天然水库，在周围十六座山峰的环抱中，沉静清澈的天池犹如一块碧玉一般，给人以神秘莫测之感。

                                                                  October 15, 2010

Dear Gorge,

Generally, it’s the customer who gets all the attention.

When we held our Golden Jubilee Anniversary last month, we had a wonderful celebration. One of the things we thought of first was to write a couple of hundred of our retail customers to thank them for their loyal support over the years. Without them, we said, we couldn’t possibly have become what we are; in fact, we wouldn’t even be around to celebrate those 50 years. Of course, we meant it; you know the importance of loyal friends as well as we do.

But later we got to think: what about those people who kept us supplied with quality hardware products that dealers wanted to buy and did buy time and time again? Don’t they deserve some credit, too? We’ve been buying hammers, saws, blades, wrenches and a couple of dozen other Mikkelson-brand products from you for how long—35 years? And you’ve always givens us genuine quality at a fair price, plus outstanding service. What more can a wholesaler ask from a manufacturer? Sure, we’ve had our minor squabbles from time to time, and your attitude was that the customer is always right (in our case, he often wasn’t). Whatever the problems were—I forgot—they haven’t detracted one bit from our high opinion of your company, your products, and your people.

So, on at least one occasion, I want to direct my full attention not to our important customers, but our important suppliers. Mikkelson stands very high on our list of those to whom we owe a great big thank you. Thank you!

                                                                                                Sincerely,
                                                                                          James R. Fernandez
                                                                                          Purchasing Manager
