一、英译汉
My other favorite giveaway was a nice-looking pen with my company’s logo on it. They are relatively cheap. It’s surprising how many customers at a trade show are in need of a pen. The great thing about pens is that they seldom get thrown out, but instead end up on your customer’s desk or in his drawer. Put more than your company name on it; add a website and a phone number.
If you’re serious about getting a good giveaway for you booth, try to pick something interesting but within your budget. Get something that won’t be thrown away after the show. Make sure your company name and contact information are on it. It’s great if you can pick a product that is themed with your business. If you pick an expensive item, hold on to it and only give it to your qualified prospects. Use it as a tool to get people’s attention.
另外一个我最喜欢的免费赠品是一支好看的印有公司商标的钢笔，它们相对比较便宜，有多少顾客在一场贸易展示上需要用到钢笔是令人惊讶的。钢笔的一个好处就是不会被丢掉，而是被放在客户的办公桌上或者他的抽屉里。要放比公司名词更多的信息，加上公司网站和电话号码。
如果你真的想为你的展台找一个好的免费赠品，可以找那些有趣好玩但是在预算之内的东西，找一些不会被丢弃的东西，把你公司的名字和联系方式放在上面。如果可以找一个以你的行业为主题的产品公司更好不过了。如果你用的是一个贵的商品做赠品，要看好它，只将它送给那些符合条件的潜在客户，把它当作吸引人们注意力的工具。
1）favorite adj.喜爱的，中意得，译为中意的比较好;2）how many 那一句是感叹句，有这么多客户;3)Put more than your company name on it; add a website and a phone number. 这段可以意译的;4）after the show漏译了;5）Make sure没有译出必须，务必的意思;6）pick a product that is themed with your business 意译为选择的礼品与公司经营的主旨相同会更好;
译文
另一件我中意的赠品是印有我公司图标的漂亮的笔。笔相对便宜些。在展会上有这么多客户需要用笔，真的令人惊讶。送笔的好处在于很少有人会随手扔掉它，而是把它带回去搁在办公桌上或抽屉里。在笔上不要只印公司名称，还要加上公司网址和电话号码。
如果你很在意赠品的挑选，那就找一些有趣却又不超出预算的东西，这些东西展会后还不会被扔掉。
如果你真的想给你的展台布置好的赠品，那就选有趣的赠品，但不要超出预算。选择展会结束后不被随手即丢的赠品。务必把公司的名称和联系方式印在赠品上。如果你所选择的礼品能和公司的经营主旨相同，那就再好不过了。如果你所选择的赠品很贵，那你一定要看紧点啊，只能把这些礼品送给有价值的潜在客户。用这种赠品作为吸引客户的手段。

马拉松赛流行的原因之一就是低门槛。一个世界级的跑步选手Roger Robinson曾说：没有任何其他体育具有更低的门槛了：他把跑步描述为最能接触到的、最便宜的、很容易组织的体育活动。事实上，你不需要许多设施、设备，只要有一双跑鞋，不管男女老少，你就可以上路了。
全国越来越多的马拉松赛事是由于国家的经济发展和中产阶级的快速扩大，中产阶级比过去任何时候都更热切地希望保持健康强壮。目前，中国有超过3亿人关注健康的生活方式，他们大多数住在北京、上海、广州这样的高度发达的城市。

二、汉译英
【版本1】
One of the reasons for marathon races to become trendy is their low entry threshold. The world-class runner Roger Robinson once claimed that no other sport has a lower threshold, meaning that running is the most readily available, most inexpensive, and most easily organized sporting activity. As a matter of fact, you won’t need many facilities or much equipment. With a pair of shoes, you can run, no matter if you are young or old, man or woman.
There are more and more marathon races throughout the country because of the economic development and rapid expansion of the middle class of the country----the class that is more enthusiastic than ever before about keeping healthy and strong. More than 300 million Chinese, most of whom live in highly developed cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou are interested in a healthy lifestyle.
【版本2】
One of the factors that contribute to the popularity of marathon races is the low entry barrier. Roger Robinson, a world-class runner, once said that no other sport has a lower entry barrier, describing running as the most accessible, cheapest and most easily organized sport. In fact, you don’t need much in the way of facilities or equipment----get a pair of shoes and you can hit the road, young and old, women and men.
The growing number of marathons nationwide is also due to the country’s economic development and the rapid expansion of a middle class that is more than ever keen on staying healthy and fit. China now has up to 300 million people focused on healthy lifestyles, most of them in highly developed cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou.
