英語六級翻譯強化訓練:孔子

　　【翻譯原文】

　　孔子(Confucius)是中國歷史上影響最大、最受尊重的哲學家。從公元前100年到20世紀早期，孔子的理念是唯一一種極大影響中國社會的思想。孔子本人從未寫下任何箴言(teachings)。如果不是他的弟子不辭勞苦記下他的談話和言論，今天孔子將是無名之輩。孔子的言論在中國廣為流傳時，因其言論包含正確的哲理，人們接受了他的言論，歷朝歷代都將其確立為官方思想。儒家思想影響了中國的方方面面，包括教育、政府、公共和個人看法以及禮節(jié)。

　　【參考譯文】

　　Confucius is the most influential and respectedphilosopher in Chinese history.His ideas have themost powerful and sole influence on Chinese societyfrom around 100 B.C.till the early 20thcentury.Confucius never wrote down any of his ownteachings.But for his disciples who took the trouble to record his conversations anddiscourses,Confucius would have been a nobody today.Being widespread across China,peopleaccepted the teachings of Confucius for their sound principles,and all successive dynasties madethem the official state ideology.Confucianism then affected everything in China includingeducation,government,public and private attitudes, and etiquette.
