参考译文
Tourism, a fast developing economic sector over the last two decades in all parts of the world, is now receiving increasing attention among the Chinese public.

It is believed that the development of tourism will help promote mutual understanding and friendship between the people of China and other countries, and facilitate exchanges in the field of culture, science and technology.

难点注释
1.第一句较长，首先要理清句子结构，句子主干为：“旅游业是一个经济部门，现在正引起注意”。根据英语表达习惯，翻译时，可以将该句整合为一个长句.“一个经济部门”可以用同位语表达来处理，因此句子主干则为：Tourism is now receiving increasing attention。然后再将其余附加成分补充完整。注意，“经济部门”译为：economic sector;“二十年来”可译为：the last two decades。

2.第二句巾，“提出种种建议”可译为：making suggestions for。

3.第三句中，“人们的看法是”可以用英语的惯用表达来翻译：It is believed that。最后一句中暗含一个递进关系，为使上下文连贯，可增译一个衔接词Moreover，使译文更加自然流畅。

短文二：
李白是中国唐代著名的诗人之一。他因杰出的写诗才能，被赋予诗仙(Poetic Genius)的称号。他的大部分诗写于唐朝兴盛和衰败时期。他是中国历史上最伟大的诗人之一。李白一生都过着流浪的(wandering)生活。他有才华，但没有机会施 展。他很失望，心里愤愤不平。他必须通过喝酒和写诗来获得乐趣。然而我们可 能不得不感谢他悲惨的政治生活，否则我们将会失去一笔诗歌上的巨大财富。

参考答案:
Li Bai was one of the celebrated poets in the Tang Dynasty of China. He was endowed with the title of Poetic Genius for his brilliant talent in writing poems. Most of his poems were produced in the rise and fall period of the Tang Dynasty. He is one of the greatest poets in the history of China. Li Bai lived a wandering life all his life. He had talent but no opportunity to use it. He was very disappointed and resentful. He had to attain fun by drinking wine and writing poems. However, maybe we have to thank his miserable political life, or we will lose a great fortune in poetry.
