今年北京的高考作文題是“仰望星空與腳踏實(shí)地”，溫馨務(wù)實(shí)。這樣的題目翻譯成英語(yǔ)會(huì)是什么樣呢？今天就轉(zhuǎn)摘部分作文題的英語(yǔ)翻譯，譯文來(lái)自danwei.org上Joel Martinsen的帖子。

全國(guó)卷II——
今年世界讀書日這天網(wǎng)上展開了關(guān)于淺閱讀的行動(dòng)。甲：什么是淺閱讀？乙：就是追求簡(jiǎn)單輕松，實(shí)用有趣的閱讀。聯(lián)合國(guó)教科文組織選擇4月23日的靈感來(lái)自于一個(gè)美麗的傳說(shuō)。4月23日是西班牙文豪塞萬(wàn)提斯的忌日，也是加泰羅尼亞地區(qū)大眾節(jié)日“圣喬治節(jié)”。傳說(shuō)中勇士喬治屠龍救公主，并獲得了公主回贈(zèng)的禮物——一本書，象征著知識(shí)與力量。每到這一天，加泰羅尼亞的婦女們就給丈夫或男朋友贈(zèng)送一本書，男人們則會(huì)回贈(zèng)一枝玫瑰花。實(shí)際上，同一天也是莎士比亞出生和去世的紀(jì)念日，又是美國(guó)作家納博科夫、法國(guó)作家莫里斯?德魯昂、冰島諾貝爾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)得主拉克斯內(nèi)斯等多位文學(xué)家的生日，所以這一天成為全球性圖書日看來(lái)“名正言順”。
Light Reading — "A: What is light reading? B: It is reading for the purpose of relaxation, interest, and practicality. UNESCO's selection of April 23 for world reading day arose out of a beautiful legend: April 23 is the date that famed Spanish writer Miguel Cervantes died, and it is also St. George's Day, celebrated in Catalonia. The legend goes that the knight George slew a dragon, rescued a princess, and was granted a gift in return: a book, representing knowledge and power. Every year on this day, Catalonian women will give a book to their husband or boyfriend, and the men will give a rose in return. Actually, the same day is the date of Shakespeare's birth and death, and is the birthday of authors such as William Faulkner, Maurice Druon, and Halldó Kiljan Laxness, so it is a fitting and proper choice for world reading day."

丹麥人釣魚材料作文：一位丹麥人釣魚，魚釣上來(lái)后，他用尺量了一下尺寸，覺得魚太小，就放了回去，準(zhǔn)備等魚長(zhǎng)大了再釣。丹麥人去釣魚會(huì)隨身帶一把尺子，釣到魚，常常用尺子量一量，將不夠尺寸的小魚放回河里。他們說(shuō)：“讓小魚長(zhǎng)大不更好嗎？”兩千多年前，我國(guó)孟子曾說(shuō)過(guò)：“數(shù)罟不入洿池，魚鱉不可勝食也?！币馑际?，不要用細(xì)密的漁網(wǎng)在池塘里捕撈小魚，這樣才會(huì)有更多的魚。實(shí)際上，其中的道理也貫穿在我們現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中的許多方面。
Danish fishermen — "When Danes go fishing, they carry with them a ruler. When they catch a fish, they will measure it and toss it back if it is not long enough. They say, "Isn't it better to let the little ones grow up?" More than two thousand years ago in our country, Mencius said, "If fine nets do not enter the pools, there will be more fish and turtles than can be eaten." And in fact this principle runs throughout many areas of our lives."

The world I live in — "The world is like a painter's dazzling array of colors, the world is a melody dancing about on an instrument; the world advances through innovation and finds warmth through harmony; the world can exist in a marvelous virtual network, and the world is expressed in the real lives of ordinary people; the world may seem large, but it is really very small….everyone has their own world, but everyone lives in the world. Sum up your experiences and understanding of 'The world I live in.'"

角色轉(zhuǎn)換之間。（傳說(shuō)有的雛鳥長(zhǎng)大后，會(huì)銜食喂養(yǎng)衰老的母鳥。人們把此現(xiàn)象稱為“反哺”。人類社會(huì)也存在類似現(xiàn)象。年輕一代對(duì)年長(zhǎng)一代的文化影響被稱之為“文化反哺”。千百年來(lái)，在以父輩對(duì)子輩施教為主流的正統(tǒng)傳承方式下，文化反哺猶如潛流引而不現(xiàn)，但在迅疾變化的當(dāng)今社會(huì)，年輕人獲得了前所未有的反哺能力。他們?cè)诳茖W(xué)知識(shí)、價(jià)值觀念、生活方式、審美情趣等各個(gè)方面，越來(lái)越明顯地影響著年長(zhǎng)一代，施教者與受教者之間，角色常常發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)換。)
As Roles Change — "When fledglings grow up, they are said to feed their aging parents with food from their own mouths. This is known as "reverse feeding". Similar phenomena exist in human society. The cultural influence of the younger generation on its elders is known as "reverse cultural feeding." For thousands of years, under the orthodox traditional model of children receiving instruction from their parents, the undercurrent of reverse cultural feeding was not obvious. But in today's rapidly-changing society, young people have a reverse feeding ability unprecedented among earlier generations. Their scientific knowledge, values, lifestyles, aesthetics and interests, are exerting a growing influence on their elders, leading to constant changes in the roles of instructor and instructed."

Fantasy — "Sun Wukong somersault cloud and Nezha's Wind Fire Wheels are products of fantasy bearing humanity's dream to fly through the air. Who would have thought that the Fair of 10,000 Nations in Shanghai's Lujiazui district, described in the late-Qing fantasy novel New China, and the journey "From the Earth to the Moon" dreamt up by French science fiction novelist Jules Verne would become reality today? Fantasy arises from the human instinct to seek out knowledge and is an expression of humanity's uncommon imagination. Fantasy motivates reality, fantasy illuminates life, fantasy is the source of happiness…"

湖南卷——
請(qǐng)以“早”為題，寫一篇不少于800字的議論文或記敘文。
湖南作文題一個(gè)字“早”，表面上很簡(jiǎn)單，但實(shí)際上卻可能有多種含義。要是把“早”的意思說(shuō)全了，除了morning以外，還有early（早），young（早熟）， premature（早產(chǎn)），previously（早先），as early as（及早），luckily（早該），for a long time（早已）等等。湖南的考生到底是怎樣理解這個(gè)“早”字的呢？
