原文：中国是一个文化历史悠久的(time-honored)国度，也是一个礼仪(ceremony anddecorum)之邦。每当客人来访，都需要泡茶给客人喝。在给客人奉茶之前，你应该问问他们都喜欢喝什么类型的茶，并采用最合适的茶具奉上。奉茶期间，主人需要仔细留意客人的茶杯里的茶量。通常，若是用茶杯泡的茶，在茶喝完一半之后就应该加开水，这样，茶杯就一直都是满的，茶的芳香(bouquet)也得以保留。

Chinese Tea Culture

　　China is a country with a time-honored civilization and also a land of ceremony and decorum.Whenever guests visit, it is necessary to make and serve tea to them.Before serving tea, you may ask them for their preferences as to what kind of tea they fancy, and serve them the tea in the most appropriate teacups.In the course of serving tea, the host should take careful note of how much water remains in the guests’cups.Usually, if the tea is made in a teacup,boiling water should be added into the cup when half of the tea in it has been consumed; and thus the cup is kept filled and the tea retains the same bouquet.

如何备考英语四级的翻译

　　1、英语四级翻译技巧之先理顺全文

　　做翻译题的第一步就是先理顺全文，理解一遍中文意思，只有理解顺了才能翻译对。千万不要看一句翻译一句或者一个词一个词往出来蹦着翻译，这样译出来的都是中式英语。

　　2、四级翻译题型偏向于中国文化，所以平时要阅读相关的翻译材料，每天在特定的时间翻译一段真题，一句一句的翻译，而且要手写下来，因为在脑袋里想是不能和手写相比的。全篇翻译完后，再与译文对比，找到译文的优点和好的表达，进行总结和背诵固定表达，翻译贵在精不在多，总结翻译方法和技巧很重要。

　　3、英语四级翻译技巧之积累热点话题

　　这两年，英语四级翻译的话题大多都是中国的传统文化、节日或者教育、科技之类的。所以在复习的时候，多浏览一些新闻，关注一些国家的时事热点，最好是把里面特定的一些名词整理在笔记本上，背下来。
