2004年11月英语三级笔译实务试题

Section 1 English-Chinese T ranslation (英译汉) (60 points)

Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120 minutes.

A few weeks back, I asked a 14-year-old friend how she was coping with school.

Referring to stress, she heaved a big sigh and said: "Aiyah, anything bad that can happen has already happened."

Her friends nearby then started pouring out their woes about which subjects they found hard, and so on. Pessimism again, in these all-too-familiar remarks about Singapore's education system, widely regarded as too results-oriented, and! wonder why I even bothered to ask.

The school system of reaching for A's underlies the country's culture, which emphasizes

the chase for economic excellence where wealth and status are must-haves.

Such a culture is hard to change.

So when I read of how the new Remaking Singapore Committee had set one of its goals as challenging the traditional roads to success, encouraging Singaporeans to realize alternative careers in the arts, sports, research or as entrepreneurs, I had my doubts about its success in this area, if not coupled with help from parents themselves.

The new Remaking Singapore Committee is a brainchild of the Singaporean Prime Minister, formed to make Singaporeans look beyond the five C's: cash, condos, clubs, credit cards and cars, to help prepare the nation for the future.

It is good that the government wants to do something about the country's preoccupation with material success. But it will be a losing battle if the family unit itself is not involved because I believe the committee's success is rooted in a revamp of an entire culture built from 37 years of independence.

This makeover has to start with the most basic societal unit -- the family.

Parents should not drown their children in mantras of I-want-hundred-marks. Tuition lessons are not the be-all and end-all of life. And a score of 70 for a Chinese paper is definitely not the end of life.

If ever I become a parent, I will bring my children camping. I will show them that cooking food in a mess tin over a campfire is fun. I will teach them that there is nothing dirty about lying on a sleeping bag over grass.

In fact, it is educational because Orion is up there in the night sky with all the other bright stars whose shapes and patterns tell something more than a myth. For instance, they give directions to the lost traveler, I will say.

And who knows, my child may become an astronomer years down the road. All because of the nights I spent with him watching the twinkles in the sky.

That's my point. Parents should teach their children that there's more to life than studies. Better still if the nation's leaders echo that idea as well.

This way, when their children aspire to be the next Joscelin Yeo, they won't feel like they are fighting a losing battle against a society that holds doctors and lawyers in awe.

However, the culture that babysits economic excellence is deeply ingrained and so are the mindsets of many parents. But parents can take the cue from the new Remaking Singapore

Committee and be aware of giving their children the right kind of education.

It is now wait-and-see if, say, 10 years down the road, more would choose alternative careers. Hopefully, by then no one would think sportsmen or musicians as making too big a sacrifice in chasing their dreams.

Section 2 Chinese-English T ranslation (汉译英) (40 points)

Translate the following passage into English. The time for this section is 60 minutes.

近年来,中国政府倡导国内旅游,推行“假日经济”政策,给公民每年3次为期一周的长假,让他们将更多储蓄用于旅游、购物和外出就餐。2004年,五一节的总旅游消费达390亿元人民币。

目前旅游业收入占国内生产总值的2.3%。预计到2013年,旅游收入将每年增长10%,并创造4,000万个就业机会。旅游的间接效益更大,估计创造了1,840亿美元的经济活动,以及5,400万个就业岗位。这些经济活动包括政府花在会议上的旅游开支,以及重要的旅游项目投资。

中国在公路、火车站和机场方面投资巨大。新航线和公交公司不断涌现,竞争降低了旅游成本。京沪间单程机票售价为850—900元人民币,有时还会更低。一些航线开展网上售票服务,方便人们购票。更多私车和汽车租赁中介的出现让数百万人不仅能跟团旅游,还能自己开车出游。

Part 1 英译汉(60分)

几个星期前,我问一个14岁的朋友,在学校的学习情况。谈到压力的问题,她叹了一口气后说:“唉呀,所有可以发生的坏事,都已经发生了。”

她身旁的朋友这时也开始埋怨学习上面对的问题。例如,哪些科目特别难掌握等。当然,全是一些耳熟能详,批评我们的教育制度过于强调成绩的悲观看法。我真有点后悔为什么要提起这个问题。

我们的学校制度要求学生争取一连串的A,因为我们的文化价值观强调卓越的经济成长,金钱和地位是每一个人追求的目标。这是种根深蒂固和难以改变的观念。

在报章上读到,不久前成立的“改造新加坡委员会”的目标之一,是重新思考迈向成功的传统途径,鼓励国人从事文化、体育、和科研工作及创业。不过,如果委员会无法争取到为人父母者的合作,我怀疑它在这方面能够取得多少成果。

委员会是吴作栋总理的建议,目的是要国人把目光放远,不要局限于所谓的5C,即金钱、共管公寓、俱乐部会员证、信用卡和车子,齐心合力为国家的未来做好准备。

政府想要改变国人功利和物质主义至上的思想,当然是件好事。但是,如果不能取得家长的支持,那肯定就像是在打一场必败之仗。

我认为,委员会要取得成功,必须将我们独立后37年来所建立的文化价值观,改头换面。这工作必须从家庭——社会的最基本单位开始。

父母不应该不断的要求孩子取得100分,补习课也不应该占据孩子的生活,华文测验只得到70分更非世界末日。

有朝一日我身为人母,我会带孩子去露营。我会示范给他们看,用器皿在营火上烹煮食物的乐趣。我也会告诉他们,用睡袋在草地上睡觉,一点也不肮脏。

其实,这样的户外活动非常具有教育意义。他们可以看到天上的猎户星座,还有其他形状和排列形式不一样的星星。我会教导他们,这些星星不止是神话故事的材料,还有实际的功用。例如,它们可以为迷途的旅人指引方向。因为我时常陪他们看闪亮的星星,我的孩子可能对天文学产生兴趣,甚至在若干年后成为天文学家。

我要强调的是,父母应该教导孩子,除了在学业上取得好成绩外,人生还有很多值得追求

的目标。如果这个观点能够得到政府领导人的响应,那当然更好了。在这种情况下,如果孩子想要成为像杨玮玲一样的金牌游泳女将,他们就不会觉得,因为我们的社会只敬重医生和律师等专业人士,他们所追求的理想将不会得到支持,也不能够实现。

我们以经济为主的价值观念已经根深蒂固,一般父母的心态也不会在一夜间改变。但是,父母可以从“改造新加坡委员会”的成立得到启示,明白让孩子选择适合自己的教育的重要性。

10年后,会不会有更多人选择较为冷门的事业?我们只能拭目以待。希望社会的价值观到那时候已经有所改变,再也没有人会感叹全职运动员或音乐家,为了实现他们的理想而做出了太大的牺牲。

All Luciano Faggiano wanted when he purchased the seemingly unremarkable building at 56 Via Ascanio Grandi, was to open a restaurant. The only problem was the toilet. Sewage kept backing up. So Mr. Faggiano enlisted his two older sons to help him dig a trench and investigate. He predicted the job would take about a week. “We found underground corridors and other rooms, so we kept digging,”said Mr. Faggiano, 60. His search for a sewage pipe, which began in 2000, became one family’s tale of discovery. Lecce was once a critical crossroads in the Mediterranean. Severo Martini, a member of the City Council, said archaeological relics turn up on a regular basis —and can present a headache for urban planning. A project to build a shopping mall had to be redesigned after the discovery of an ancient Roman temple beneath the site of a planned parking lot. One week quickly passed, as father and sons discovered a tomb of the Messapians, who lived in the region centuries before the birth of Jesus.

2018-11 【英译中】【Passage 1】 New drone footage gives a glimpse of the damage that Hawaii’s Big Island sustained in the wake of volcanic explosions in recent days. Smoke can be seen billowing off the lava as it creeps down roads and through wooded areas toward homes. Fires are visible with terrifying streams of brightness breaking through the surrounding areas of black. After a day of relative calm, Kilauea roared back in full force on Sunday,spewing lava 300 feet in the air, encroaching on a half mile of new ground and bringing the total number of destroyed structures to 35. 从无人机拍摄到的最新视频中,可以大概了解到近日火山喷发后,夏威夷大岛所遭受的损失情况。火山岩浆在道路上、树林里蔓延,直逼住家,岩浆所到处浓烟滚滚。在一片漆黑中可见多处大火,火光十分刺眼。基拉韦厄火山经过相对平静的一天后,周日又火力全开,将岩浆喷到300英尺高空,又侵蚀了半英里土地,共有35处建筑遭摧毁。 There have been 1,800 residents evacuated from their neighborhoods where cracks have been opening and spilling lava. In evacuated areas with relatively low sulfur dioxide levels, residents were allowed to return home for a few hours to collect belongings on Sunday and Monday. Officials said those residents – a little more than half of the evacuees — were allowed to return briefly, and they would continue to allow residents in if it could be done safely. 由于地面开裂、岩浆涌出,1800社区居民被疏散。周六周日,在二氧化硫浓度不高的被疏散区域,居民获准回家几个小时收拾家中物品。当地官员称,这些居民——约占被疏散居民总数的半数多些——被准许回家短暂停留,并且在保证安全的前提下,允许其他居民回家。 “Things got pretty active,” an official said at a Saturday press conference. “The eight volcanoes were pretty active, to the point where lava was spewing and the flow started spreading so we got additional damage out there. I’m not sure what the count is, but we thought it was just continuing to go. Fortunately, seismicity has laid down and the volcanoes have gone quiet now.” But officials had cautioned that while the lava flow was quiet, it wouldn’t be for long. “More volcano es could open up, the existing ones could get active again.” There’s a lot of lava under the ground so eventually it’s going to come up.” “这些火山变的很活跃,”一位官员在周六举行的新闻发布会上称,“有八个火山变的很活跃,岩浆喷出后,四处扩散,因此我们那里损失又多了些。我现在还不了解损失总数,但我们认为这个数字仍在不断攀升。庆幸地是,现在地震强度已经减弱,火山也开始平息下来了。”但是官员警告称,虽然岩浆流动慢下来了,

2006年5月英语CATTI三级《笔译实务》真题

2006年5月英语CATTI三级《笔译实务》真题 试题部分: Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) (60 points) Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120 minutes. Freed by warming, waters once locked beneath ice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle. In Bykovsky, a village of 457 on Russia's northeast coast, the shoreline is collapsing, creeping closer and closer to houses and tanks of heating oil, at a rate of 15 to 18 feet a year. "It is practically all ice - permafrost - and it is thawing." For the four million people who live north of the Arctic Circle, a changing climate presents new opportunities. But it also threatens their environment, their homes and, for those whose traditions rely on the ice-bound wilderness, the preservation of their culture. A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries its own rewards and dangers for people in the region. The discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry. Coastal erosion is a problem in Alaska as well, forcing the United States to prepare to relocate several Inuit villages at a projected cost of $100 million or more for each one. Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with traditions shaped by centuries of living in extremes of cold and ice are noticing changes in weather and wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding. In Finnmark, Norway's northernmost province, the Arctic landscape unfolds in late winter as an endless snowy plateau, silent but for the cries of the reindeer and the occasional whine of a snowmobile herding them. A changing Arctic is felt there, too. "The reindeer are becoming unhappy," said Issat Eira, a 31-year-old reindeer herder. Few countries rival Norway when it comes to protecting the environment and preserving indigenous customs. The state has lavished its oil wealth on the region, and Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance. And yet no amount of government support can convince Mr. Eira that his livelihood, intractably entwined with the reindeer, is not about to change. Like a Texas cattleman, he keeps the size of his herd secret. But he said warmer temperatures in fall and spring were melting the top layers of snow, which then refreeze as ice, making it harder for his reindeer to dig through to the lichen they eat. "The people who are making the decisions, they are living in the south and they are living in towns," said Mr. Eira, sitting inside his home made of reindeer hides. "They don't mark the change of weather. It is only people who live in nature and get resources from nature who mark it." Section 2: Chinese-English Translation(汉译英) (40 points) Translate the following passage into English. The time for this section is 60 minutes. 维护世界和平,促进共同发展,谋求合作共赢,是各国人民的共同愿望,也是不可抗拒的当今时代潮流。中国高举和平、发展、合作的旗帜,坚持走和平发展道路,与世界各国一道,共同致力于建设一个持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界。 中国与世界从未像今天这样紧密相连。中国政府把中国人民的根本利益与各国人民的共同利益结合起来,坚持奉行防御性的国防政策。中国的国防服从和服务于国家发展战略和安全战略,旨在维护国家安全统一,确保实现全面建设小康社会的宏伟目标。中国永远是维护世界和平、安全、稳定的坚定力量。 中国在经济不断发展的基础上推进国防和军队现代化,是适应世界新军事变革发展趋势、维护国家安全和发展利益的需要。中国不会与任何国家进行军备竞赛,不会对任何国家构成军事威胁。新世纪新阶段,中国把科学发展观作为国防和军队建设的重要指导方针,积极推进中国特色军事变革,努力实现国防和军队建设全面协调可持续发展。

Section1: English-Chinese Translation(英译汉)(50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 100 minutes. PALOS DE LA FRONTERA, Spain — Back home in Gambia, Amadou Jallow was, at 22, a lover of reggae who had just finished college and had landed a job teaching science in a high school. But Europe beckoned. In his West African homeland, Mr. Jall ow?s salary was the equivalent of just 50 euros a month, barely enough for the necessities, he said. And everywhere in his neighborhood in Serekunda, Gambia?s largest city, there was talk of easy money to be made in Europe. Now he laughs bitterly about all that talk. He lives in a patch of woods here in southern Spain, just outside the village of Palos de la Frontera, with hundreds of other immigrants. They have built their homes out of plastic sheeting and cardboard, unsure if the water they drink from an open pipe is safe. After six years on the continent, Mr. Jallow is rail thin, and his eyes have a yellow tinge. “We are not bush people,” he said recently as he gathered twigs to start a fire. “You think you are civilized. But this is how we live here. We suffer here.” The political upheaval in Libya and elsewhere in North Africa has opened the way for thousands of new migrants to make their way to Europe across the Mediterranean. Already some 25,000 have reached the island of Lampedusa, Italy, and hundreds more have arrived at Malta. The boats, at first, brought mostly Tunisians. But lately there have been more sub-Saharans. Experts say thousands more — many of whom have been moving around North Africa trying to get to Europe for years, including Somalis, Eritreans, Senegalese and Nigerians — are likely to follow, sure that a better life awaits them. But for Mr. Jallow and for many others who arrived before them, often after days at sea without food or water, Europe has offered hardships they never imagined. These days Mr. Jallow survives on two meals a day, mostly a leaden paste made from flour and oil, which he stirs with a branch. “It keeps the hunger away,” he said. The authorities estimate that there are perhaps 10,000 immigrants living in the woods in the southern Spanish province of Andalusia, a region known for its crops of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and there are thousands more migrants in areas that produce olives, oranges and vegetables. Most of them have stories that echo Mr. Jal low?s. From the road, their encampments look like igloos tucked among the trees. Up close, the squalor is clear. Piles of garbage and flies are everywhere. Old clothes, stiff from dirt and rain, hang from branches. “There is everything in there,” said Diego Ca?amero, the leader of the farm workers? union in Andalusia, which tries to advocate for the men. “You have rats and snakes and mice and fleas.” The men in the woods do not call home with the truth, though. They send pictures of themselves posing next to Mercedes cars parked on the street, the kind of pictures that Mr. Jallow says he fell for so many years ago. Now he shakes his head toward his neighbors, who will not talk to reporters. “So many lies,” he said. “It is terrible what they are doing. But they are embarrassed.”

2015 年5月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷 Section1 For generations, coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretch of eastern Utah. Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiled underground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that winds toward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with the slogan “Coal = Jobs.” 对这个地处犹他州东部、矿产丰富的地区而言,煤炭在过去几代人的眼里一直都是这个地区的生命线/经济命脉。每当回忆起作为矿工在地下采煤的岁月时,每个家庭都会感到无比自豪。大街的煤炭供应公司栉比鳞次/鳞次栉比。在蜿蜒通向矿区的马路上方,可见一处广告牌,上面除了有句“煤炭=工作”的口号,还有位满身烟灰的矿工正凝视着前方。 But recently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant, tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricter federal pollution regulations. 但是最近,人们开始担忧起来。由于新的联邦污染防治法规更加严格,位于县郊(译者注:根据本文倒数第二段该地区实为卡本县,这里的town指的就是卡本县,所以此处译为县郊。)峡谷之中的犹他州历史最久的燃煤电厂即将关闭。 As energy companies tack away from coal, toward cleaner, cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slip away. Dozens of workers at the facility here, the Carbon Power Plant, have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs. Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere. 由于能源公司摒弃煤炭转而发展更加清洁、更加廉价的天然气,这里的人们越来越担心他们的家园可能很快就会悄然消失/不复存在。卡本电厂(Carbon Power Plant)的几十号工人已得知,他们必须提前退休或另谋职业。当地的卡车运输和装备人员正准备到其他地方去发展业务。“There are a lot of people worried,” said Kyle Davis, who has been employed at the plant since he was 18. Mr. Davis, 56, worked his way up from sweeping floors to managing operations at the plant, w hose furnaces have been burning since 1954. “I would have liked to be here for another five years,” he said. “I’m too young to retire.” 凯尔·戴维斯(Kyle Davis)自18岁起就一直在这家电厂工作,他说:“许多人现在都忧心忡忡。”该公司自1954年成立以来,运转至今,从未间断。现年56岁的戴维斯先生在该公司从清扫工人一路做到负责公司运营的高管职位。他说道:“我本想在公司再干五年的,毕竟现在退休还太年轻。” But Rocky Mountain Power, the utility that operates the plant, has determined that it would be too expensive to retrofit the aging plant to meet new federal standards on mercury emissions. The plant is scheduled to be shut by Ap ril 2015.“We had been working for the better part of three years, testing compliance strategies,” said David Eskelsen, a spokesman for the utility. “None of the ones we investigated really would produce the results that would meet the requirements.” 但是目前负责运营卡本电厂的落基山电力公司(Rocky Mountain Power)已决定,如果为了达到有关汞排放量的新联邦标准而对该电厂的老旧设备进行翻新改造,代价过高,并不可行。该电

2019年catti笔译二级试题:宜家

英格瓦·坎普拉德可不是一般的亿万富翁。这位宜家家具帝国的创始人乘坐经济舱旅行,开着一辆有十年历史的沃尔沃汽车,总是下午去买水果和蔬菜,因为这时价格往往便宜些。如果有人问他生活中有什么奢侈的消费时,他的回答是:我偶尔喜欢买一件高档衬衫或一条围巾,吃点瑞典鱼子酱。? 坎普拉德先生是战后欧洲最杰出企业家之一。宜家创建于1943,当时仅仅从事邮购业务,现如今已经发展成为在全球31个国家经营,员工总数超过7万的国际化零售业巨头。 宜家的销售额逐年上涨。宜家的产品目录是全世界印数最多的印刷品,每年达到不可思议的1.1亿册。坎普拉德先生也变得异常富有。根据美国《福布斯》杂志,他的身价达到134亿美元(87亿英镑),位列全球第17位。 宜家之所以取得了令人惊异的成功,首先是因为它那简单得令人难以置信的经营理念:向老百姓提供设计精美而又买得起的家具。其次就是坎普拉德本人,有魅力、谦逊、随和。他的思想和价值观绝对是宜家哲学的核心。 坎普拉德先生因生活极其节俭而闻名遐迩。他清洗用过的塑料杯以便再次利用。前不久,他决定不再让那位已经为他理发多年的瑞典理发师继续为他提供服务,原因是在现居地瑞士他找到一位理发师,每次只收14瑞士法郎(6英镑)。?这数字合理,?他笑着说。 宜家所有的高管都十分了解成本意识的重要性。公司不鼓励他们乘坐头等舱或商务舱旅行。?最好的领导方式是以身作则?,坎普拉德先生说过,?让我坐头等舱,而让我的同事们坐旅游舱,是我绝对不能接受的。?

他巡视宜家集团的店铺时,他总是要和员工们握手或拥抱,以此向员工传递一种?伙伴?的感觉,这种做法在瑞典绝不多见。?叫我英格瓦,?他对员工说。他不喜欢打领带,而是喜欢敞开衬衫的领口,这样的衣着方式也突显了他的不拘礼节和没有等级观念。 在个人生活方面和事业方面坎普拉德先生都经历过艰苦的奋斗过程。他一直与读写困难症和其他疾病抗争。 他性格中很突出的一点就是对细节的偏执性关注。巡视他的商店时,他不仅和经理们交谈,还要和最基层的员工以及顾客们交谈。在最近一次视察宜家的六家瑞典门店时,他说,?发现了100个需要讨论的细节性问题。? 在他自己看来,他最大的优点就是选择正确的人员来管理他的企业。 他下定决心不让宜家集团上市,因为股东的短期要求和企业长期的规划会有冲突。?我讨厌急功近利的决策。如果你想实施长效的决策,上市后就很难了。进入俄罗斯市场时,我们就曾不得不决定要亏损十年。? 自1986年从集团总裁位置上退下来以后,坎普拉德先生就慢慢地从业务中淡出。尽管他承认自己非常不愿意完全退出,但他仍然坚持说自己是?参与过多,过问的细节太多。?问题是:假如没有坎普拉德先生,宜家能否恒久存在?宜家是否太过于依赖其创始人?宜家控制权渐渐从坎普拉德先生转移到他的三个儿子手中以后,宜家帝国能否继续辉煌? 【参考译文】

Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉)(50 points) 文章来源:The New York Times The Money Ran Out; Then the Villagers Stepped In HIGUERA DE LA SERENA, Spain —It didn’t take long for Manuel Garc ía Murillo, a bricklayer who took over as mayor here last June, to realize that his town was in trouble. It was 800,000 euros, a little more than $1 million, in the red. There was no cash on hand to pay for anything —and there was work that needed to be done. But then an amazing thing happened, he said. Just as the health department was about to close down the day care center because it didn’t have a proper kitchen, Bernardo Benítez, a construction worker, offered to put up the walls and the tiles free. Then, Maria José Carmona, an adult education teacher, stepped in to clean the place up. And somehow, the volunteers just kept coming.
