2016年12月英语六级翻译练习：商品过度包装

　　过度包装浪费资源、污染环境、危害社会利益，于国家、社会和个人都是有百害而无一利，应坚决予以杜绝。要建立朴素的包装理念，提倡适度包装。建设节约型社会(conservation-mindedsociety)，社会、企业和个人都有责任。个人要建立绿色消费观，提倡朴素消费。如果人际交往中重情谊轻礼品，重实际轻面子，这样过度包装就没有生存的土壤。社会应加大宣传力度，引导朴素、理性的消费观念，培育健康的社会风貌。

　　1.有百害而无一利:可译为do nothing but harm to...。其中do nothing but意为“只，仅仅”，更有“除此之外并无其他”的意味。也可以用is of no good for来表达。

　　2.节约型社会:可以有多种表达，如conservation-minded society, conservation-oriented society或resource-saving society等。

　　3.绿色消费观:可译为a view of green consumption。“观点”可以用view, concept, idea等词表达。

　　4.朴素消费:可译为plain-consuming。其中plain意为“朴素的，简朴的”，例如 “艰苦朴素”可译为hardworking and plain-living。

　　5.重情谊轻礼品:可以理解为“重视情谊而不是礼品”，故此处译为emphasizes friendship rather thangifts。
