9. Maybe there's something in the text-message that's doing the rounds on the Internet, when it says, "Once you're 50, pretty and ugly look the same. Once you're 60, high-rank and low-rank look the same. Once you’ re 70, lots of money and little money look the same. Once you're 80, men and women look the same. Once you're 90, living and dying look the same."
9、最近有一则网上流行的短信(that’s doing the round on the Internet做定语修饰the text-message):“到了五十 , 好看难看一个样;到了六十 , 官大官小一个样;到了七十 , 钱多钱少一个样;到了八十 , 男的女的一个样;到了九十 , 活的死的一个样 。”(look the same 看起来一样)
10. In a way, the message, pretty much, suggests that, even though China exported computers to America and Chinese people have traded in their bikes for BMWs, the past thirty years of reform hasn't changed our traditions and, the idea of being content with one's lot has never left our bones.
10、在某种程度上 , 这条短信似乎(pretty much 几乎)暗示(suggest vt.):改革开放30年 , 尽管(even though)中国生产的电脑已经卖到了美国(export to 向…出口;输出到) , 并且中国人已经丢掉自行车 , 开起了宝马(trade in…for… 以旧换新) , 但仍没有改变他们的传统 , 乐天知命的价值观(the idea of being content with one's lot)仍在骨子里 , 不曾磨灭 。(本段翻译做了小改动)
