翻译练习一（英译汉）小组讨论情况记录小组成员：赵一，钱二，孙三，李四本次讨论记录、执笔人：赵一1.本次翻译文本的目标读者是？2.本次翻译任务需要达成的目的是？3.请用注释的形式写出“翻译根据”。
翻译根据包括（但不限于）根据翻译目的对翻译方法（策略）的选择；术语的出处或论证过程；译文选词、造句、结构、篇章等方面的考虑；原文：在国内众多的历史课本或辅导爱国读本中，讲到北宋的社会经济，往往说这时期出现了中国第一个商标。
这枚传说中的白兔商标现存于中国历史博物馆，中间一个白兔图，寓“玉兔捣药”之意.译文：In various Chinese history textbooks and patriotic readings[i], one thing is always covered in the economic development[ii] of the Northern Song Dynasty—the emergence[iii] of China’s first trademark, which is now kept in the National Museum of Chinese History[iv]. This legendary trademark was designed with a white rabbit image in the middle, implying the message of the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine[v] [i]辅导爱国读本第一步，理解中文。
所谓“辅导爱国读本”一般指供学生课下阅读的旨在培养爱国情操的材料(当然也可以面向社会读者)，内容可以涵盖从古至今国家经济政治文化等各方面情况：讲成就可以培养人们的民族自尊心、自信心、自豪感等等；也可以讲失败、讲教训，激励人们奋发图强，建设祖国。
…这些在中国都属于“爱国主义教育”的内容。
文中要讲的是北宋出现了中国历史上第一枚商标，这是经济发展的标志之一，算是“成就”，同时此商标设计上又体现了浓郁的中国传统文化特色（玉兔捣药），因此自然会被写入爱国读本让大家了解。
第二步，理解基础上做出一个译文。
首先想到的就是reading materials for patriotic education. 后来觉得这里专门用patriotic education中国味太重（总强调爱国主义教育），就考虑改成reading materials for patriotism.根据：Patriotic - feeling, expressing, or inspired by love for one's country.Patriotism denotes positive and supportive attitudes to a 'fatherland' (Latin patria < Greek patrida, πατρίδα), by individuals and groups. The 'fatherland' (or 'motherland') can be a region or a city, but patriotism usually applies to a nation and/or anation-state. Patriotism covers such attitudes as: pride in its achievements and culture, the desire to preserve its character and the basis of the culture, and identification with other members of the nation.</patriotism>.从上面的解释还可以看出patriotism并不和“爱国主义”完全划等号，因为patriotism is not necessarily an ism or a doctrine.“主义”缩小了词义，而这个词本来可以指爱国态度、情感等等，甚至爱的不一定非得是“国”，只是usually表示爱国。
第三步，验证英文说法。
（一般是输进Google看有没有/有多少类似用法，主要看外网）。
结果：(发现问题)“Reading materials”和“patriotic education/patriotism”分开的有，但很少见讲英语国家的网站上有合在一起这样用的。
说明仍然比较Chinglish.至此在这个问题上脑袋开始打结，再继续找到更好译法的可能性不大，于是标出来放在一边，改天再回过头想。
所谓”sleep on it”.隔天忽然想到reading materials可简化为readings:Reading - written material intended to be read; "the teacher assigned new readings".</Reading>.于是整体可简化为patriotic readings. 在上网查，发现有很多这样用的，如More About… The American Flag文件格式: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - HTML 版Flag Ceremonies, Scouts Owns’ and Patriotic Readings.

[ii]社会经济社会经济是指一个社会中的物质资料的生产、分配、交换和消费总合。
这其中社会生产是基础。
</define_result.aspx?searchword=%e7%a4%be%e4%bc%9a%e7 %bb%8f%e6%b5%8e>.也就是说“社会经济”主要讲的是“经济”这层含义，“社会”只是经济活动发生的地点。
鉴于后面已经提供了the Northern Song Dynasty这个社会背景，这里只说经济发展状况(economic development) 就够了。
注：不可以想当然译为social economy，因为这个短语本身表达另外一个意思：Social economy refers to a third sector in economies between the private sector, or business, and the public sector, or government. It includes organizations such as cooperatives, non-governmental organizations and charities.</wiki/Social_economy>.[iv]中国历史博物馆The National Museum of Chinese History (Chinese Pinyin--Zhongguo Lishi Bowuguan, Wade-Giles Romanization--Chung-kuo Li-shih Po-wu Kuan) is one of two important museums in a large building on the east side of Tiananmen Square (the other being the Museum of the Chinese Revolution).

The animal's ears point to the upper right, while at the left are two large circular areas, representing its head and body.</Mid-Autumn+Festival>.。
