1、As the importance of recycling becomes more apparent, questions about it linger. Is it worth the effort? How does it work? Is recycling waste just going into a landfill in China? Here are some answers.

It is an awful lot of rubbish. Since 1960 the amount of municipal waste being collected in America has nearly tripled, reaching 245m tonnes in 2005. According to European Union statistics, the amount of municipal waste produced in western Europe increased by 23% between 1995 and 2003, to reach 577kg per person. (So much for the plan to reduce waste per person to 300kg by 2000.) As the volume of waste has increased, so have recycling efforts. In 1980 America recycled only 9.6% of its municipal rubbish ; today the rate stands at 32%. A similar trend can be seen in Europe, where some countries, such as Austria and the Netherlands, now recycle 60% or more of their municipal waste. Britain's recycling rate, at 27%, is low, but it is improving fast, having nearly doubled in the past three years.

Even so, when a city introduces a kerbside recycling programme, the sight of all those recycling lorries trundling around can raise doubts about whether the collection and transportation of waste materials requires more energy than it saves. "We are constantly being asked: Is recycling worth doing on environmental grounds?" says Julian Parfitt, principal analyst at Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), a non-profit British company that encourages recycling and develops markets for recycled materials.

Studies that look at the entire life cycle of a particular material can shed light on this question in a particular case, but WRAP decided to take a broader look. It asked the Technical

University of Denmark and the Danish Topic Centre on Waste to conduct a review of 55 life-cycle analyses, all of which were selected because of their rigorous methodology. The researchers then looked at more than 200 scenarios, comparing the impact of recycling with that of burying or burning particular types of waste material. They found that in 83% of all scenarios that included recycling, it was indeed better for the environment.

Based on this study, WRAP calculated that Britain's recycling efforts reduce its carbon-dioxide emissions by 10m-15m tonnes per year. That is equivalent to a 10% reduction in Britain's annual carbon-dioxide emissions from transport, or roughly equivalent to taking 3.5m cars off the roads. Similarly, America's Environmental Protection Agency estimates that recycling reduced the country's

carbon emissions by 49m tonnes in 2005.

Recycling has many other benefits, too. It conserves natural resources. It also reduces the amount of waste that is buried or burnt, hardly ideal ways to get rid of the stuff. (Landfills take up valuable space and emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas; and although incinerators are not as polluting as they once were, they still produce noxious emissions, so people dislike having them around.) But perhaps the most valuable benefit of recycling is the saving in energy and the reduction in greenhouse gases and pollution that result when scrap materials are substituted for virgin feed-stock. "If you can use recycled materials, you don't have to mine ores, cut trees and drill for oil as much," says Jeffrey Morris of Sound Resource Management, a consulting firm based in Olympia, Washington.

Extracting metals from ore, in particular, is extremely energy-intensive. Recycling aluminium, for example, can reduce energy consumption by as much as 95%. Savings for other materials are lower but still substantial: about 70% for plastics, 60% for steel, 40% for paper and 30% for glass. Recycling also reduces emissions of pollutants that can cause smog, acid rain and the conta-mination of waterways.

2、向一位著名的女作家祝贺她八十岁寿辰,这样的机会是不多的,所以我去年十月五日到冰心家里去的时候,心情非常激动。我解释说希望她给我讲一下她是怎样成为诗人的。“我已有多年没有写诗了,”她微笑说,“可是我还是爱读好诗。”

冰心很幸运地有鼓励她学习和写作的父母。一九一九年她在北京一所女子学院念书时,一个事件改变了她生命的整个道路。那就是五四运动,一个由北京学生发动的爱国民主运动。群众游行示威的场面给她以深刻的印象。她投身于斗争中,并披学生会任命负责宣传工作。她写了诗歌,文章和故事,以抨击帝国主义和各种形式的封建主义。

她在1923年到美国去学文学,在旅途中和在美国居留中写下了她的感受。这些都收在一个集子里出版,就是《寄小读者》。这本书使她声誉突起。这不仅是因为她是一位女作家,而是因为书中的高尚的情操。有不少较年轻的作家说,是冰心的作品使他们走上了其后所走的道路。

1、

回收利用之真相

随着回收利用的重要性日渐凸显,关于这方面的问题也日益叠加:值得这么做吗?如何进行操作?在中国,回收的垃圾都涌向垃圾场吗?以下是一些相关答案。

垃圾的数量真是惊人之多。自从1960年以来,美国市区收集到的垃圾总量

几乎翻了三倍,到2005年达到了245万吨之多。根据欧盟数据显示,西欧国家市区产生的垃圾数量在1995年至2003年之间增长了23%。人均产生垃圾量高

达577公斤(远远超过了当时到2000年人均垃圾量为300公斤的计划量)。随着垃圾总量的增加,垃圾回收利用所做的努力也显得日益重要。1980年,美国市

区垃圾的回收率仅为9.6%,但今天垃圾的回收率已达32%。欧洲国家也呈现出

相应趋势,例如奥地利和荷兰,他们现在的垃圾回收率已达60%或以上。英国

的垃圾回收率目前只有27%,但其回收率快速增长,在过去三年里几乎翻了两番。

尽管如此,当城市启动路边垃圾回收项目后,满大街垃圾车竞相奔走的情景不禁引起人们的怀疑:垃圾回收后可利用的能源是否远不抵收集和运输这些垃

圾所消耗的能源?英国废物及资源行动计划组织的首席分析员朱迪·帕菲说道:“常常有人问我们:回收真的有益于环境保护吗?”该组织是英国一家非盈利性组织,提倡回收理念并努力开拓回收市场。

关于特定事物生命周期的研究,以一特定事例便可以阐明这一问题。但是,英国废物及资源行动计划组织决定一探究竟,它委托丹麦技术大学和丹麦废物

主题中心对55篇相关生命周期分析报告进行再次研究。这55篇报告均因其精

确分析的特点而被选出重新研究。接着,研究人员研读了200多个研究方案,

并将回收垃圾与掩埋或焚烧特殊种类的废弃物两者各自所产生的影响进行比较。结果他们发现83%关于回收的方案中确实证明回收有益于环境。

在这项研究的基础上,英国废物及资源行动计划组织得出以下结论:英国对废弃物的回收每年减少了1000~1500万吨二氧化碳的排放量。相当于英国每年汽车的二氧化碳排放量减少了10%,或者大致相当于英国公路上少了350万辆

汽车。无独有偶,据美国环境保护局估计,到2005年,回收将使美国碳氧化物排放量减少4900万吨。

回收还有其他诸多益处:保护自然资源;减少掩埋和焚烧废弃物总量。掩埋和焚烧废弃物根本算不上是理想的垃圾处理方式。(垃圾场占据了宝贵的土地资源,并产生甲烷——一种破坏力极强的温室气体;尽管现在垃圾堆污染严重程

度有所改善,但它们依然产生有毒气体,因此,人们讨厌周围有垃圾场的存在),但回收的最大益处也许就在于能源的节约,温室气体和废品转换成原料过程中

所产生的污染物的减少。来自华盛顿·奥林匹亚一家咨询公司优化能源管理部

门的杰弗里·莫里斯如是说道:如果都能使用回收利用的材料,我们大可不必

大肆挖掘矿物、砍伐树木和开采石油钻井。

尤其,从矿中冶炼金属是一个极其消耗能量的过程。就拿铝金属的回收来说,它能节约高达95%的能源消耗。其他物质回收的能源节约比例相对较小一些,

但其总量也很可观:塑料回收能源节约达70%,钢铁回收能源节约约达60%,纸质回收节能约达40%,而玻璃回收节能则约达30%。回收利用同时还减少那些能

造成大雾、酸雨和排水沟污染的污染物排放量。

2、 It isn't often that one has the chance to congratulate a noted woman writer on her 80th birthday. So on October 5 last year, when I went to Bing Xin's house, i felt very excited, I explained that I hoped she would tell me something about how she became a poet. "I haven't written poetry for many years," she said smiling. "But I

still love to read good poetry."

Bing Xin was fortunate to have parents who encouraged her to study and write. When she was attending a women's college in Beijing in 1919, an event occurred which changed the whole course of her life. That was the May 4th Movement, a patriotic democratic movement

started by students in Beijing. The mass demonstrations made a deep impression on her. She threw herself into the struggle and was put in charge of publicity by the Student Union. She wrote poems, articles and stories, attacking imperialism and feudalism in its various forms. Going to the U.S. in 1923 to study literature, she wrote down her

impressions on the way and during her stay there. These were

published in the collection To Little Readers. The book brought her instant fame, not only because she was a woman writer, but also because of the noble sentiments in the book. Quite a few younger writers say it was Bing Xin's writings that started them on the road they have since followed.

[解析]

1.向一位著名的女作家祝贺她八十岁寿辰,这样的机会是不多的,所以我

去年十月五日到冰心家里去的时候,心情非常激动。It isn't often that one has the chance to congratulate a noted woman writer on her 80th birthday. So on October 5 last year, when I went to Bing Xin's house, I felt very excited.

[分析] 理解表达采分点。

原文是四个单句。译成英语时,要根据英语的语法结构和语言习惯进行调整,本句采用并句的技巧将之译为两个句子。前两个单句译为用形式主语it代替主语从句的结构:It isn't often that... 后两句用顺译法So on October 5

last year, when I went to Bing Xin's house, I felt very excited.

2.我解释说希望她给我讲一下她是怎样成为诗人的。I explained that I hoped she would tell me something about bow she became a poet.

[分析] 理解表达采分点。

本句用顺译的方法即可,但翻译时需根据英语习惯采用增词技巧,汉语中所用动词在翻译过程中要通过主从复合句的层次来体现:原文中的“解释说”、“希望”、“讲一下”、“成为”译作I explained that I hoped she would tell me something about how she became a poet.

3.冰心很幸运地有鼓励她学习和写作的父母。Bing Xin was fortunate to have parents who encouraged her to study and write.

[分析] 理解表达采分点。

汉语中常将定语放在所修饰的中心词前,之间用“的”连接,而在英语中定语常用一个从句来表达,因此本句中的“鼓励她学习和写作的父母”可译作parents who encouraged her to study and write。

4.一九一九年她在北京一所女子学院念书时,一个事件改变了她生命的整

个道路。When she was attending a women's college in Beijing in l919, an event occurred which changed the whole course of her life.

[分析] 理解表达采分点。

本句要采用补译法,因为“改变了她生命的事件”指的是“当时发生的”,所以在译文中按英语习惯加入了occurred,句子结构也因此有所变化。

5.五四运动the May 4th Movement

[分析] 基本素质采分点。

五四运动是个专有名词。

6.她在1923年到美国去学文学,在旅途中和在美国居留中写下了她的感受。 Going to the U.S. in 1923 to study literature, she wrote down her impressions on the way and during her stay there.

[分析] 理解表达采分点。

原文是两个单句。译成英语时,要根据英语的语法结构和语言习惯进行调整,

本句采用并句法将之译为一个句子,前面一句用分词短语作状语,后面一句作主句。

7.这本书使她声誉突起。这不仅是因为她是一位女作家,而是因为书中的高尚的情操。The book brought her instant fame, not only because she was a woman writer, but also because of the noble sentiments in the book.

[分析] 理解表达采分点。

本句可用并句法翻译。因后面的两个单句表原因,可作状浯从句;并将之与前面一个句子合并成一个复合句,使得句子结构更为严谨,更符合英语习惯。

翻译三级笔译实务-1

翻译三级笔译实务-1 (总分:100.00,做题时间:90分钟) 一、{{B}}Section Ⅰ English Chinese Translation{{/B}}(总题数:1,分数:60.00) 1.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 I 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. (分数:60.00) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:() 解析:几个星期前,我问一个14岁的朋友她如何应对自己的学业。谈到压力,她深叹一口气说:“哎呀,这儿事要多糟,有多糟。” 随后,她周围的朋友便开始就他们认为那些难学的学科倾诉自己的苦恼。人们普遍认为,新加坡的教育制度过分注重成绩,而这些孩子耳熟能详的言晤再次表现了对新加坡教育制度的悲观情绪。我不知道自己为什么还要费心一问。追求功课得优的学校体制构成了新加坡文化的基础,这一文化重在追求经济上的杰出成就,而这一成就则体现在一定要获得财富和地位。这种文化是难以改变的。新成立的改造新加坡委员会已将其目标之一确定为向传统的成功之路发起挑战,鼓励新加坡人去从事其它职业,如艺术,体育、研究或成为企业家。当我获知此情时,我怀疑如果没有家长的配合,这方面的改造

英语翻译资格三级笔译真题

11月英语翻译资格三级笔译真题(网友版) 三级笔译: 《三级笔译实务》 1. 英译汉:文章来源为美国国务院网站,原文标题为:Beaverton: Oregon’s Most Diverse City Stroll through the farmers’market and you will hear a plethora of languages and see a rainbow of faces. Drive down Canyon Road and stop for halal meat or Filipino pork belly at adjacent markets. Along the highway, browse the aisles of a giant Asian supermarket stocking fresh napa cabbage and mizuna or fresh kimchi. Head toward downtown and you’ll see loncheras —taco trucks —on street corners and hear Spanish bandamusic. On the city’s northern edge, you can sample Indian chaat. Welcome to Beaverton, a Portland suburb that is home to Oregon’s fastest growing immigrant population. Once a rural community, Beaverton, population 87,000, is now the sixth largest city in Oregon — with immigration rates higher than those of Portland, Oregon’s largest city. Best known as the world headquarters for athletic shoe company Nike, Beaverton has changed dramatically over the past 40 years. Settled by immigrants from northern Europe in the 19th century, today it is a place where 80 languages from Albanian to Urdu are spoken in the public schools and about 30 percent of students speak a language besides English, according to English as a Second Language program director Wei Wei Lou. Beaverton’s wave of new residents began arriving in the 1960s, with Koreans and Tejanos (Texans of Mexican origin), who were the first permanent Latinos. In 1960, Beaverton’s population of Latinos and Asians was less than 0.3 percent. By 2000,

CATTI三级笔译综合能力资料

全国翻译资格考试三级笔译综合能力讲义 第一节考试内容介绍、定语从句讲解、练习及译法 第一部分考试介绍 一、考试题型 词汇和语法部分50题25分25分钟 阅读理解50题55分75分钟 完型填空20题20分20分钟 二、考试要求 掌握本大纲要的英语词汇;掌握并能够正确运用双语语法;具备对常用问题英语文章的阅读理解能力。 三、笔译综合能力试题的基本类型 第一部分词汇和语法部分可分为三大部分:词汇选择(Vocabulary and Grammar)1-20难度大约在四级左右;词语替代(Vocabulary Selection)21-40主要找出和划横线部分相同意思的词汇,难度在4级到6级之间;改错(Error Correction)主要有词汇和语法的两种错误。 第一部分考察的内容主要为近义词的辨析、短语介词和动词词组的搭配;语法点主要包括定语从句、状语从句、名词性从句、虚拟语气、非谓语动词等等。在其后会分专题来讲解。 第二部分阅读理解共5篇,字数在每篇150-450字之间,绝大多数在250字左右,每篇有5到10题,不定量。题材广泛,选题多样。类似于四级以上难度和题型,但是和专业四级题型更加相似。 第三部分为开放性完型填空,20空,共20分。题材广泛,选题多样。难度和专业四级等同。 四、基本复习策略 综合能力课程作为三级笔译必修的课程,主要是考察学生对于英语基本知识的了解,特别是对双语习惯的掌握,为了能够更好地为实务课程打下坚实的基础,所以希望每一位同学都不要对这门课程产生掉以轻心的念头。根据个人经验,我个人推荐以下几个复习的策略:第一、要对大纲的词汇做到十分熟悉,这种熟悉不是简单地认识,而是要学会使用,特别是在没有字典的帮助之下可以迅速而准确地判断搭配。 第二、对于语法结构的重视,但凡是学翻译就必须要对语法结构有着深入的了解,这种了解不是简单地会划分句子成分,而是将每个句子如何组合,这将决定你实务中的句型翻译的关键。 第三,阅读能力要强。任何考试都是得阅读者得天下,咱们的综合能力考试也不除外。包括实务考试,如果文章内容没有弄明白,那么对文章的翻译肯定是不行的。 以上三点经验之谈,仅供参考。 定语从句的讲解、练习及译法 1.that和which用法比较: 1) which用于非限定性定语从句中。 e.g.: He said he was busy, which was not true. 他说他很忙,那是假的。 We don’t want to enter the house, which is very cold. 我们不想进房间,因为太冷了。 2) which用于介词后做宾语。 e.g.: The room of which windows are opposite to the room is large. 窗户正对着海的房间很大。 The chair in which you are sitting is made of iron.
