　英语四级翻译训练二：

家与购房

中国自古就有“修身、齐家、治国、平天下”的古训(maxim)。齐家指的便是成家立业，成家不能没有自己的一套房子。因此，房子成为中国人有家、有归属感的重要标志，并深人人心。房子在人们观念中的重要地位，使得房子不仅仅是居住环境的体现，更是个人身份的体现。根深蒂固的传统观念和强烈的的家的归属感，吸引着都市生活中这样一群忠实而又执着的“买房族”。也可以说，中国的'房价之所以一路飙升与中国人的购房观念是密不可分的。

参考译文：

词句点拨

1.修身、齐家、治国、平天下:“修身”即“修身养性”，"齐家”即“管理好家族”，“治国”即“治理好邦国”，“平天下”即“平定天下”。简单地说，这句古训意为“修养身心，而后才能治理好家族、邦国和天下”，故译为Cultivate the mind and then regulate the family, state and world,其中的“国”并不是现代意义上的国家，而是指“诸侯国”、“邦国”，故译为state。

2.成家立业:即“结婚和创立亊业”，译为get married and start one's career。

3.归属感:可译为a sense of belonging。

4.根深蒂固的传统观念:可译为the deeply rooted traditional concept。

5.忠实而又执着的:可译为loyal and persistent。

6.一路飙升的价格:可译为soaring price。soaring意为“猛增的”。

7.密不可分:可以理解为“和…有密切联系”，即be closely related to。
