DAY2731. 英譯漢「Some families will cherish a recording of a loved one and others are going to think it’s creepy,」 said Ms. Klein, who pointed to Yahoo Ending, a service started in Japan last year to send emails to loved ones when you die — and deal with your social media assets.

參考譯文「雙11是我日曆上非常重要的日子，」A2公司英國和中國地區執行長斯科特•沃瑟斯本(Scott Wotherspoon)說。他說，雖然公司仍是中國網上銷售的新手，但網售渠道「讓我們能以更直接的方式進入中國市場」。

點評（瑤瑤Yvonne）DAY2771. 英譯漢Apple Inc opposed a court ruling on Tuesday that ordered it to help the FBI break into an iPhone recovered from a San Bernardino shooter, heightening a dispute between tech companies and law enforcement over the limits of encryption.
參考譯文美國蘋果公司周二對一項聯邦法院的裁決提出異議，法院裁決，蘋果應幫助執法部門解除南加州聖貝納迪諾恐怖襲擊案嫌犯智慧型手機的開機密碼。這也使科技公司和執法機構關於解密權的爭論白熱化。

點評（瑤瑤Yvonne）DAY278 WEEK TASK451、英譯漢（448）In a famous lab trial, a chimp named Sultan put two interlocking sticks together and pulled down an elusive prize, a bunch of bananas hanging just out of arm’s reach.
參考譯文在一項著名的實驗室試驗中，一個名叫蘇丹(Sultan)的黑猩猩把兩根連鎖棍連到一起，拉下了一個不易得到的獎品——它的手夠不到的一串香蕉。
詞彙整理Nearly a century later, eager tourists have conducted their own version of the experiment. Equipped with the camera extender known as a selfie stick, occasionally referred to as 「the wand of narcissism,」 they can now reach for flattering CinemaScope selfies wherever they go.
參考譯文將近一個世紀後，熱切的遊客們也在進行這樣的實驗。在配備了被稱為自拍杆（又稱「自戀神器」）的相機延長器之後，現在不管走到哪兒，他們都能拍到惹人喜愛的寬屏自拍照。
詞彙整理a selfie stick 自拍杆；
narcissism 自我陶醉，自戀；
Art museums have watched this development nervously, fearing damage to their collections or to visitors, as users swing their sticks with abandon. Now they are taking action. One by one, museums across the United States have been imposing bans on using selfie sticks for photographs inside galleries (adding them to existing rules on umbrellas, backpacks, tripods and monopods), yet another example of how controlling overcrowding has become part of the museum mission.
參考譯文藝術博物館緊張地關注這一發展，擔心用戶們肆意揮舞自拍棒時會對藏品或其他遊客造成傷害。現在他們採取了行動。美國的博物館一個接一個發布禁令，禁止在博物館內使用自拍杆（之前已遭禁止的物品包括傘、背包、三腳架和單腳架），這再次表明，控制過度擁擠已經成為博物館的任務之一。
詞彙整理The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington prohibited the sticks this month, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston plans to impose a ban. In New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has been studying the matter for some time, has just decided that it, too, will forbid selfie sticks. (New signs will be posted soon.)
參考譯文本月，華盛頓的赫什霍恩博物館(Hirshhorn Museum)和雕塑公園(Sculpture Garden)禁止使用自拍杆，休斯頓的美術館(Museum of Fine Arts)也計劃發布禁令。在紐約的大都會藝術博物館已研究這個問題一段時間了，剛做出決定將禁止使用自拍杆（很快將設立新的提示標牌）。
「From now on, you will be asked quietly to put it away,」 said Sree Sreenivasan, the chief digital officer at the Met. 「It’s one thing to take a picture at arm’s length, but when it is three times arm’s length, you are invading someone else’s personal space.」
參考譯文「從現在起，我們將委婉地請求你把它收起來，」大都會藝術博物館的首席數據官斯裡•斯裡尼瓦桑(Sree Sreenivasan)說，「伸出胳膊拍照沒問題，但是如果你伸出的東西是胳膊的三倍，那麼你就是在侵犯他人的私人空間。」
詞彙整理The personal space of other visitors is just one problem. The artwork is another. 「We do not want to have to put all the art under glass,」 said Deborah Ziska, the chief of public information at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, which has been quietly enforcing a ban on selfie sticks but is in the process of adding it formally to its printed guidelines for visitors.
參考譯文其他遊客的私人空間只是其中一個問題。藝術品則是另一個問題。「我們不想把所有藝術品都放進玻璃罩，」華盛頓國家藝術館的首席公共信息官德博拉•齊什卡(Deborah Ziska)說。該博物館已悄悄執行對自拍杆的禁令，正在把它正式加到紙質遊客指南上。
詞彙整理Last but not least is the threat to the camera operator, intent on capturing the perfect shot and oblivious to the surroundings. 「If people are not paying attention in the Temple of Dendur, they can end up in the water with the crocodile sculpture,」 Mr. Sreenivasan said. 「We have so many balconies you could fall from, and stairs you can trip on.」
參考譯文最後一個問題也同樣重要， 自拍杆對相機使用者同樣有威脅——他們專注於捕捉完美鏡頭，往往會忽視周圍環境。「在丹鐸神廟，人們如果不留神，可能會掉進水裡，和鱷魚雕塑為伍，」斯裡尼瓦桑說，「如果不小心，你可能會從我們這裡的很多露臺上掉下去，或者絆到臺階。」
詞彙整理At the Met on Thursday, Jasmine Adaos, a selfie-stick user from La Serena, Chile, expressed dismay. 「It’s just another product,」 she said. 「When you have a regular camera, it’s the same thing. I don’t see the problem if you’re careful.」 But Hai Lin, a student from Shandong, China, conceded that the museum might have a point. 「You can hit people when they’re passing by,」 she said.
參考譯文自拍杆使用者賈絲明•亞當(Jasmine Adaos)來自智利拉塞雷納，周四，她在參觀大都會博物館時說，「它只是一個產品，跟你用普通相機沒有區別。我覺得只要小心一點就不會有問題。」但是來自中國山東的學生林海（音譯）承認，博物館的做法可能也有道理。「有人經過時，你可能會碰到別人，」她說。
詞彙整理dismay 詫異，失望；
have a point 有道理；
點評（Kevin）2、漢譯英（358）這是我第一次訪問伊朗，但同很多中國人一樣，我對你們古老而美麗的國度並不陌生，因為絲綢之路早就把我們兩個偉大民族聯結在一起。史書記載下一個又一個精彩故事。
參考譯文This will be my first trip to Iran, yet like many other Chinese, I do not feel like a stranger in your ancient and beautiful country, thanks to the Silk Road that linked our two great nations for centuries and to the many legendary stories recorded in history books of our friendly exchanges.
詞彙整理早在2000多年前的中國西漢時期，中國使者張騫的副使就來到伊朗，受到隆重接待。7世紀後的中國唐宋時期，許多伊朗人前往中國求學行醫經商，足跡遍及西安、廣州等地。13世紀，伊朗著名詩人薩迪記錄下到中國新疆喀什的難忘遊歷。15世紀，中國明代鄭和7次率領龐大船隊遠洋航海，其中3次到達伊朗南部的荷姆茲地區。
參考譯文Over 2,000 years ago during the West Han Dynasty in China, the Chinese envoy Zhang Qian’s deputy came to Iran and received warm welcome. Seven centuries later during the Tang and Song dynasties, many Iranians came to China’s Xi』an and Guangzhou to study, practice medicine and do business. In the 13th century, the famous Iranian poet Saadi wrote about his unforgettable travel to Kashgar, Xinjiang. In the 15th century, a renowned Chinese navigator Zheng He from the Ming Dynasty led seven maritime expeditions, which took him to Hormuz in southern Iran three times.
詞彙整理來自中國的絲綢和伊朗的高超工藝結合，成就了波斯絲毯的高貴；來自伊朗的蘇麻離青和中國的高超工藝結合，成就了青花瓷器的雅致。中國的漆器、陶器以及造紙、冶金、印刷、火藥等技術經伊朗傳向亞洲最西端乃至歐洲等更遠的地方，石榴、葡萄、橄欖以及玻璃、金銀器皿等又從伊朗和歐洲等地傳入中國。
參考譯文The much-prized Persian carpet is weaved out of a fusion of China’s silk and Iran’s sophisticated techniques. And the exquisite blue and white porcelain is produced thanks to a mixture of Iran’s 「smaltum」 (a type of material containing cobalt, unique to Iran) and China’s advanced skills. Via Iran, China’s lacquerware, pottery, as well as papermaking, metallurgical, printing and gunpowder making skills were spread to the west end of Asia, and further on to Europe. And from Iran and Europe, pomegranate, grape, olive, as well as glass, gold and silver ware were introduced into China.
