這些題目都是前幾個月外院老師出的MTI筆譯大賽題目，準備翻譯碩士的可以作為練習。

漢譯英：
（I）八達嶺長城
長城是中國古代修筑的防御工程，是中華民族的象征，至今已有2000多年的歷史。今天人們看到的是明代長城，它西起甘肅嘉峪關，東到山海關，綿延5000多千米，因此被稱為萬里長城。八達嶺長城位于北部的延慶縣，距離北京市中心60千米。在這里長城如巨龍一般在崇山峻嶺之間沿山脊蜿蜒曲折，烽火臺和敵樓密布。墻高7.8米，頂寬7.8米。這里是長城重要關口居庸關的前哨，海拔高達1015米，地勢險要，城關堅固，歷來是兵家必爭之地。八達嶺長城是明代長城中保存最好的一段。
（II）長白山
長白山位于安圖、撫松、長白三縣境內，南部和東南部與朝鮮毗鄰。主峰海拔2691米，海拔在2500米以上的山峰有16座。它是滿族的發祥地，清朝時期曾定它為圣地。長白山是我國與五岳齊名、風光秀麗、景色迷人的關東第一山，因其主峰白頭山多白色浮石與積雪而聞名。由于山地地形垂直變化的影響，長白山
從山腳到山頂，隨著高度的增加形成了由溫帶到寒帶的4個景觀帶，故有“一山有四季，十里不同天”之說，是我國具有世界意義的典型自然綜合體。
長白山天池位于長白山主峰白頭山頂。它是火山噴發自然形成的我國最大的火山口湖，因為它所處的位置高，水面海拔達2194米，所以被稱為“天池”。天池是長白山最著名的景點，也是人們游長白山的必游之地。天池湖面面積10平方公里，是一個巨大的天然水庫，在周圍十六座山峰的環抱中，沉靜清澈的天池猶如一塊碧玉一般，給人以神秘莫測之感。

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
