课后翻译

通常脾气温和的大学三年级学生小江最近同父母吵了一架。她想在即将到来的暑假接受医学美容手术，要让父母买单，因为她相信更好的容貌能让她有更大的机会在毕业后找到心仪的工作。

College junior Xiao Jiang, who is usually a mild-tempered girl, had a big fight with her parents recently. She had asked them to pay for her cosmetic surgery in the coming summer vacation, for she believed with better looks came better chances of finding a desirable job upon graduation.

她听到过不少故事，说一有美貌的求职者出现，职位空缺就会立马消失。可小江的父母却感到大为吃惊。他们认为小江提出这个想法很不理性。

She had heard of stories of how a vacancy was quickly filled when a beautiful candidate turned up.However, Xiao Jiang's parents were taken aback.They thought it insane for her to come up with such an idea.

她难道没有想到过招人看相貌的公司从长远来看是没有竞争力的吗？尽管小江的父母对她爱意满满，但还是拒绝了她的请求。

Hadn't it occured to her that a company that hires people on account of good looks cannot be competitive in the long run? Affectionate as they were , Xiao Jiang's parents refused her request.

小江一开始觉得自己快要崩溃了。不过，经过与学校的辅导员一次长谈以后，她现在明白了：在就业市场里，重要的是知识和技能，而不是美貌。另外，她也不想看到她的父母因为她的虚荣而倾家荡产。现在小江意识到了她原来有多傻。

At first Xiao Jiang felt herself almost gone to pieces. However, after a long talk with a school counsellor, she has come to know better: What matters in the job market is knowledge and skill, not beautiful looks. Besides, she does not want to see her parents go broke because of her vanity. She has come to realize how silly she had been.

翻译

在当今社会上，人们的安全感似乎在降低。从乡村的普通农舍到大都市的高档社区，以前夜不闭户的习惯早已不再，取而代之的是精密的防盗锁和智能化的电子监控系统。

In today's society, the sense of security among the public seems to be on the decline.From ordinary farmhouses in rural areas to upscale residential communities in large cities, the common practice of leaving the door on the latch has become a thing of the past, and in its place have emerged sophisticated anti-theft locks and smart electronic surveillance systems.

就是在这种背景下，中国产生了几家视频监控产品供应商。统计资料显示：近几年这些企业的销售收入达到数十亿美元之多。它们的突出业绩清楚显示安防产品巨大的市场潜力。

It against this background that a couple of Chinese providers of video surveillance products have sprung into existence. Statistics show that in recent years these companies generated as much as billions of dollars in sales revenue.Their outstanding performance clearly demonstrates the huge market potential for security equipment products.

然而，这些中国公司发现：巨大的市场潜力并不代表工业扩张是件易事。2019年，当它们试图进入海外市场的时候，巨大的障碍挡在它们面前。缺少专利令它们寸步难行，而过度依赖外国供应商使它们很容易收到冲击。

However, huge market potential does not necessarily stand for easy industry expansion, as these Chinese companies have come to realize. When they tried to enter oversea market in 2019, they found substantial barriers standing in their way. A lack of patents held them back and overdependance on foreign supplies for microchips rendered them extremely vulnerable.

然而这些障碍并没有阻挡它们扩张的步伐。它们大力投资研发，逐渐自力更生。随着越来越多的零部件由自己生产，这些公司在未来必将更有竞争力。

These barriers, however, did not stop them from expansion. They invested heavily in research and development and gradually achieved self-reliance.With more and more components made by themselves, chances are that these companies will become even more competitive in the future.

翻译

我在幼年时就有了阅读的习惯。我母亲曾经教过小学，非常清楚地知道读书不仅是提高学习成绩的主要手段，而且还在促进小孩子智力发展上起着关键的作用。在我自己还不能读书的时候她就常常读书给我听。一旦我认识的字足够多了，她马上就每周布置我读一本书。

I acquired the habit of reading early in life. My mother, who taught grade school, knows all too well that reading is not only a principal tool to boost academic performance but also plays a critical role in promoting a child's intellectual growth.

在我读下一本书之前，她总是鼓励我口头或是书面总结一下我从书里学到了什么。正是通过这种练习，扩大了我对世界的认知，并让我驾驭语言的技巧得以娴熟。在我青少年时期，我曾一度胸怀大志，想要成为一个专业作家。

She used to read to me before I could read on my own. As soon as I knew enough words, she assigned me a book to read every week. Before I proceeded to the next one, she would encourage me to summarize, in spoken or written words , what I had learned from it, and it was through this practice that I expanded my knowledge of the world and perfected my language skills. For some time in my teens, I even harbored an ambition of becoming a professional writer.

随着时间的流逝，阅读不仅成了我的习惯，还成了我的嗜好，以至于我最终成了市图书馆的馆长，成天泡在书堆中，与书打交道。

Over time, reading became not only a habit nut a passion for me, so much so that I ended up being a head librarian in the city library, working with and among books all day long.
