2014年6月英语六级翻译预测：泰山 【题目】 　　泰山称东岳，以“五岳独尊”的盛名享誉古今。按照“五行学说”，东方属木，主生发，有生命之源、万物之本的含义。这就是古代帝王通常在自己登基或晚年时到泰山封禅祭拜的原因。泰山拔地通天，气势磅礴，汉语又有“稳如泰山”、“重于泰山”之说。1987年，联合国教科文组织将泰山列为世界自然与文化遗产。 【翻译词汇】　　泰山 Mount Tai 东岳 East Yue　　五岳独尊 the most important mountain of the Five Holy Mountains　　享誉 have a great reputation 五行学说 the theory of five elements　　生发 liveliness　　生命之源、万物之本 a place where nature regulated and adjusted its procedures　　登基 be crowned 　封禅祭拜 make pilgrimages to　　稳如泰山 as firm as Mount Tai 重于泰山 as weighty as Mount Tai　　宣布 proclaim 【精彩译文】　　Mount Tai, called “East Yue”, has a great reputation for the most important mountain of the Five Holy Mountains.
