Fox Hunting 英译汉部分： Fox Hunting 猎狐 One of England's most controversial “traditions" 英格兰最受争议的传统 Are there any controversial blood sports in your country? In the UK, there's fox hunting. Officially, it’s illegal but it's still going on. And it's just as divisive as ever. 你们国家有颇受争议的“见红消遣”吗？在英国有，是猎狐。官方认为此举非法，但猎狐仍在继续，并如从前一样饱受争议。 The objective of most fox hunts is simple to track, chase and, sometimes, kill a fox. A hunt begins when the hounds are "cast”. This is when the dogs are released and start searching in bushes for foxes. When the hounds pick up the scent, they track the fox. If they see it, the chase is on and the dogs run after it. They are followed by the riders who wear scarlet-colored coats known as "pinks”. The hunt continues until either the fox escapes(it "goes to ground "-meaning that it takes refuge in an underground burrow),or is caught and then usually killed by the hounds. Many people are against for hunting. Animal rights activists argue that foxes suffer a cruel and violent death (after a very stressful chase).They also say that fox hunting is an activity in which people seem to gain pleasure from cruelty. Others despise it for being a mostly upper-class and aristocratic sport. Oscar Wilde once described it in 1893 as, “the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable". Supporters of fox hunting are equally passionate. They say it's a tradition that's part of England's cultural heritage. They also say that it plays an important role in rural life, and that many jobs depend on fox hunting. And they argue that it's an activity and spectacle enjoyed not only by the riders but also by many others who follow on foot, bicycle or in 4*4s.Finally,they point out that it's an important form of pest control that protects the livelihood of farmers, and that the foxes are killed quickly and that it's much less cruel than using traps or poisons. But in 2005 everything changed. The Hunting Act came into force ,and this effectively banned fox hunting. But it wasn't easy passing the law. Five men broke into the House of Commons to demonstrate against it, and thousands of people gathered outside the Houses of Parliament in protest. Now, it is officially illegal, but opponents claim this is simply a front and that many real foxes are still hunted. Whatever the truth, more than 1,804 hunt groups are still in existence. So, it seems that one of England's most controversial traditions just refuses to die. 汉译英部分： 银杏 银杏，我思念你，我不知道你为什么又叫公孙树。但一般人叫你是白果，那是容易了解的。我知道，你的特征并不专在乎你有着和杏相仿佛的果实，核皮是纯白如银，核仁是富于营养——这不用说已经就足以为你的特征了。但一般人并不知道你是有花植物中最古的先进，你的花粉和胚珠具有着动物般的性态，你是完全由人力保存下来的奇珍。 你这东方的圣者，你这中国人文的有生命的纪念塔，你是只有中国才有呀，一般人似乎也并不知道。我到过日本，日本也有你，但你分明是日本的华侨，你侨居在日本大约已有中国的文化侨居在日本的那样久远了吧。你是真应该称为中国的国树的呀，我是喜欢你，我特别的喜欢你。但也并不是因为你是中国的特产，我才特别的喜欢，是因为你美，你真，你善。
