一、

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth.

通讯技术在传递真相的时候并不是简单地和真相本身一致。

The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails.

从第一项对使用不同通讯媒介时的诚实程度的比较重可以看出,人们在使用电话时的说谎几率是使用电子邮件时的两倍。

The fact that emails are automatically recorded-and can come back to haunt (困扰) you-appears to be the key to the finding.

因为电子邮件内容会被自动记录下来----并可能对你造成困扰----这就是这项研究的关键所在。

Jeff Hancock of Cor'nell University in Ithaca ['iθ?k?] , New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week.

Jeff Hancock在位于纽约州伊萨卡的康奈尔大学执教,他曾要求30个学生记录一周中每天的通讯情况。

In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told.

参与其中的人需要记录超过10分钟的对话或者电子邮件通讯的数量,并且要坦诚自己说了多少谎话。

Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant messages, 27 percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls.

Hancock据此推算出使用各种通讯媒介在每次交流过程中说谎的次数。他得出结论:谎言在电子邮件通讯中占了14%,在当面沟通中占了27%,而在电话交流中占了37%

His results, to be presented at the conference on human computer interaction in Vienna[vi?en?], Austria['?:stri?], in April, have surprised psychologists.

这项研究结果于4月份再奥地利维也纳的“人与电脑互动国际会议”上被宣读,并且令心理学家们感到惊讶。

Some expected e-mailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the detachment (非直接接触) of e-mailing would make it easier to lie.

有人认为电子邮件是最主要的谎言媒介,因为欺骗会让人不适,而电子邮件非直接接触的特性使其更容易成为谎言发生的渠道。

Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication.

还有人认为在当面交流的过程中更容易说谎,因为当面交流史最常见的沟通方式。(因为人们更擅长当面交流,所以撒谎技术更娴熟)。

But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether occurs in real time.

但是Hancock认为同样重要的是对话过程是否会被记录下来并能够被重新阅读,以及对话是否是即时发生的。

People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.

当人们觉得时候要对交流过程负责时,就会对说谎存有恐惧感。这就是为什么电子邮件中的谎言要少于电话中的。

People are also more likely to lie in real time-in an instant message to phone call,

say-than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock.

Hancock说,与有时间思考如何回应的情况相比,人们也更倾向于在即时交流过程中说谎---例如在即时信息或者电话中。

He found many lies are spontaneous (脱口而出的) responses to an unexpected demand, such as: "Do you like my dress?"

他发现很多谎言都是对一些偶然问题脱口而出的回应,例如:"你觉得我的裙子怎么样?"

Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate.

Hancock希望他的研究结果能帮助公司找出员工之间沟通的最佳途径。

For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth.

But, given his result, work assessment, where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email.

但是根据该项研究结果,在做以诚实为重的工作时,最好还是发电子邮件。

二、

In a country that defines itself by ideals,not by shared blood,who should be allowed to come,work and live here?

在一个以理念,而不是血缘定义自身的国家里,什么样的人才可以来到这里工作和生活呢?

In the wake of the Sept.11 attacks these questions have never seemed more pressing.

在"9-11"袭击事件之后,这些问题的紧迫性达到了前所未有的程度。

On December .11,2001,as part of the effort to increase homeland securty ,federal and local authorities in 14 states staged "Operation Safe Travel" -raids on airports to arrest employees with false identification(身份证明).

2001年12月11日,作为增强国土安全工作的一部分,联邦和14个州的机关发动了“安全旅行操作”行动----搜查了机场并逮捕了使用假身份证的雇员。

In Salt Lake City there were 69 arrests.But those captured were anything but terrorists,most of them illegal immigrants from Central or Sounth American .

在盐湖城有69人被捕。这些被捕的人形形色色,但是就是没有恐怖分子,他们中大多数人是来自中南美洲的非法移民。

Authorities said the undocumented worker's illegal status made them open to

blankmall(讹诈)by terrorists.

当地政府说,非法劳工的不合法身份使他们容易受恐怖分子讹诈。

Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt as if they were being treated like disposable goods.

许多在盐湖城的移民对于被捕感到非常气愤,并表示感觉自己就像被丢弃的东西一样。

Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent.

Anderson市长称这些人的感受就某种程度而言是有根据的

"We're saying we want you to work in these places,we're going to look the other way in terms of what our laws are,and then when it's convenient for us,or when we can try to make a point in terms of national security,especially after Sept.11,then you'er disposable There are whole families being uprooted for all of the wrong reasons,"Anderson said.

“我们声称想让你们在这些地方工作,但我们的法律却让我们用另外一种方式来看待你们,因而在适当的时候,或在我们以国家安全为由的时候,特别是在"9-11"之后,你们就被丢弃了。有些人全家都因为这些不合理的理由而被扫地出门。”

If Sept.11 had never happened the airport workers would not have been arrested and could have gone on quietly living in America,probably indefinitely .

如果"9-11"没有发生,机场工作人员就不会被捕,可以在美国一直过着安宁的日子,可能永

远这样生活着。

Ana Castro,a ,amanager at a Ben & Jerry'sice cream shop at the airport.had been working 10 years with the same false Social Aecurity card when she was arrested in the December airport raid.一位名叫Ana Castro的机场Ben Jerry's雪糕店经历,使用伪造的社会保障卡工作已经有10年了,直到她在12月机场搜查中被捕。

Now she and her family are living under the threat of deporation(驱逐出境).

Castro's case is currently waiting to be settled.While she awaits the outcome ,the government has granted her permission to work here and she has returned to her job at Ben&Jerry's.

现在她和家人生活在可能被驱逐出境的威胁下。Castro的案件目前正等候处理。在她等待处理结果时,政府允许她在美工作,所以她又回到"Ben Jerry's"继续她的工作。

一、

Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water,which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland,Canada.

从加拿大纽芬兰海岸附近的冰山采集而来的Iceberg瓶装水,在北美到达了流行的新巅峰。

Arthur von Wiesenberger,who carries the title Water Master,is one of the few water critics in North America.

拥有“水之大师”头衔的Arthur von Wiesenberger,是北美为数不多的“水评家”之一。

As a boy,he spent time in the larger cities of Italy,France and Switzerland,where bottled water is consumed daily.

孩童时代的她,在一些意大利、法国和瑞士的大城市里待了很长一段时间,那些地方每天会消费大量的瓶装水。

Even then,he kept a water journal,noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.

从那之后,他写了一本水日记,记录他最喜好的品牌。“连我的狗都可以分辨瓶装水和自来水”他戏称。

But is plain tap water all that bad?Not at all. In fact,New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until

recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity.

但平淡无味的普通自来水就那么糟糕吗?不尽然。事实上,过去的一个多世纪以来,纽约的水被称为自来水中的香槟酒,最近更被人称为在未到和纯净方面属于全球最好之一。

Similarly,a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.

同样,一本英国杂志发现院子泰晤士河的自来水尝起来远比一些贵上400倍的大牌瓶装水要好。

Nevertheless,soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next

battleground for market share—this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water:PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.

然而,软饮料公司认为瓶装水是下一个市场份额的战场---尽管事实上超过百分二十五的瓶装水来自自来水。Pepsico公司的Aquafina和Coca-Cola的Dasani 两者都是净化过的自来水,而非矿泉水。

As diners thirst for leading brands,bottlers and restaurateurs salivate (垂涎)over the profits.

用餐者都渴望喝大牌的瓶装水,瓶装水供应商和参观则垂涎背后的利润。

A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent,whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent.

餐厅通常会在将酒价标高至100%到150%,然后在瓶装水上,通常是300%到500%

But since water is much cheaper than wine,and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores,most diners don’t notice or care.

但由于水比酒廉价多了,况且许多稀奇古怪的品牌在商店里买不到,大多数用餐的人也就不注意,不关心了。

As a result,some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water.

结果,好些餐厅都在想方设法卖瓶装水。

According to an article in The Street Journal,some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell,listing brands on the menu without prices,and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.

根据《华尔街日报》的一篇文章,一些比较无耻的手法包括:在餐厅桌上放置有人的瓶子用以视觉销售;菜单只罗列瓶装品牌却无价格;还有叶不问用餐者是否想要,直接给你倒瓶装水。

Regardless of how it’s sold,the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health,our wish to appear cultivated,and even a longing for lost purity.

且不论销售手段,瓶装水的流行利用了我们那一份对健康的渴求,那一份看起来有教养的心愿,以及那一份对于久违了的纯净的渴望。

二、

As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease - especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise.

如今我们发现,社会医疗保健的重心正从治疗疾病转移到放置疾病---尤其在改变我们诸多不良习惯方面,如:暴饮暴食,抽烟和缺乏锻炼。

The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further.

与该改革息息相关的一类观点都需要进一步摸索。

Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious(有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home

most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired.

想象这样一个人,体重恰好,偏不吃有营养的失误;感觉良好,但鲜有机会锻炼;每天上班,但业绩一般;晚上大多在家里喝些啤酒,但不会酒后驾车;而且胸部不痛,血压正常,可惜睡的很多且时常觉得累。

This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.

这个人不算生病,他甚至没有什么风险换上疑难杂症。不过我们能想象,这个人可以更健康。

The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely " not ill" and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body's special needs.

在医药领域中,传统上我们并不区分那些仅是“没病”的人和那些健康且注意身体特别需求的人。这两类人都被称作“健康的人”。

Both types have simply been called "well". In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms "well" and "wellness" only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health.

然而,近年来,一些健康专家开始使用“身体好”和“健康”这两个术语,仅用于那些正在积极努力维持并改善自身健康的人。

People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise and they make a point of monitoring their body's condition.

身体好的人总会关注营养和锻炼,并且懂得监察自身的状况。

Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health.

也许最重要的是,身体好的人会对一切和健康相关的问题主动负责。

Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be "well," in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations.

在这种新定义下,只要面对个人身体极限之时仍能尽其所能维持健康,就算身患顽疾或者身有残缺的人也算是身体好的人。

"Wellness" may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for.

“健康”或许不应该被看做是一种人们可以达成的境界,而是一种人们为之努力的理想状态。

People who are well are likely to be better able resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes.

当疾病侵袭的时候,身体好的人更能够抵御对抗。

And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living,the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.

另外,多注意健康生活之道。健康的概念对于人们面对日常生活的挑战也大有益处。

2017年12月 (卷一) 华山位于华阴市,据西安120公里。华山是秦岭的一部分,秦岭不仅分割陕南与陕北,也分隔华南与华北。与从前人们常去朝拜的泰山不同,华山过去很少有人光临,因为上山的道路极其危险。然而,希望长寿大人却经常上山,因为山上生长着许多草药,特别是一些稀有的草药。自上世纪90年代安装缆车以来,参观人数大大增加。 Huashan(Mount Hua) is situated in Huayin City, 120 kilometers away from Xi'an. It is part of the Qinling Mountains, which divides not only Southern and Northern Shaanxi, but also South and North China. Unlike Taishan, which became a popular place of pilgrimage, Huashan was not well visited in the past because it is dangerous for the climbers to reach its summit. Huashan was also an important place frequented by immortality seekers, as many herbs grow there especially some rare ones. Since the installation of the cable cars in the 1990s, the number of visitors has increased significantly.

In China, cooking is viewed as not only a skill but also a form of art. The well-prepared Chinese food is both delicious and good-looking. Although cooking methods and food ingredients vary wildly in different places of China, it is common for good cuisine to take color, flavor, taste and nutrition into account. Since food is crucial to health, a good chef is insistently trying to seek balance between cereal, meat and vegetable, and accordingly Chinese food is delicious as well as healthy. 试卷二:信息技术 信息技术(Information Technology),正在飞速发展,中国公民也越来越重视信息技术,有些学校甚至将信息技术作为必修课程,对这一现象大家持不同观点。一部分人认为这是没有必要的,学生就应该学习传统的课程。另一部分人认为这是应该的,中国就应该与时俱进。不管怎样,信息技术引起广大人民的重视是一件好事。 译文: As Chinese citizens are attaching increasing importance to the rapidly developing Information Technology, some colleges even set it as a compulsory course.

Passage1 Reading leadership literature, you’d sometimes think that everyone has the potential to be an effective leader. 读领导文学,你有时会认为每个人都有可能成为一个有效的领导者。 I don’t believe that to be true. In fact, I see way fewer truly effective leaders than I see people stuck in positions of leadership who arc sadly incompetent and seriously misguided about their own abilities. 我不相信这是真的。事实上,我认为真正有效的领导者的方式比我看到的人都陷在领导的职位上,遗憾的是他们自己的能力不称职,严重误导了他们。 Part of the reason this happens is a lack of honest self-assessment by those who aspire to(追求)leadership in the first place. 对产生这种现象的原因一部分是由那些渴望缺乏诚实的自我评估(追求)放在首位的领导 We've all met the type of individual who simply must take charge. Whether it's a decision-making session, a basketball game, or a family outing, they can't help grabbing the lead dog position and clinging on to it for dear life. They believe they're natural born leaders. 我们都遇到了个人的类型,他们必须负责。无论是决策会议,篮球比赛,还是家庭外出,他们都不能不抓住领导的狗的地位,并紧紧抓住它,因为亲爱的生命。他们相信他们是天生的领袖。 Truth is, they're nothing of the sort. True leaders don't assume that it's their divine(神圣的)right to take charge every time two or more people get together. Quite the opposite. A great leader will assess each situation on its merits, and will only take charge when their position, the situation, and/or the needs of the moment demand it. 事实是,他们没有什么样的。真正的领导者不认为这是他们的神圣(神圣的)负责每次两个或两个以上的人在一起吧。恰恰相反。一个伟大的领导者会对每一个情况进行评估,并在他们的位置、情况和/或需要的情况下,只会负责。 Many business executives confuse leadership with action.

最新 大学英语四级翻译新题型模拟练习及答案:喝茶-精品

大学英语四级翻译新题型模拟练习及答 案:喝茶 在中国,喝茶是一种仪式(ritual),一种精致品味(refined taste)的展示。人们在饮茶的同时,也领略着(take delight in)品茶的情趣之意。喝茶聊天是中国人中最流行的打发时间的方式。过去,他们是以进有名的茶馆(teahouse)而开始一天的生活的。中国的茶馆相当于法国的咖啡馆和英国的酒馆。人们到这里不仅是为了喝茶。也是为了议论当地的新闻或对话题进行激烈的(furious)争论。 参考译文 Tea drinking in China is a ritual and a demonstration of the refined taste. While drinking tea, people also take delight in the essence of tea itself. Chatting over a pot of tea is a very popular way of pastime among Chinese. In the past, they would start the day with a visit to a well-known teahouse. Chinese teahouses would be the equivalent of French cafes and English pubs. People come here not just for tea, but also to discuss local news or to have furious political debates. 难点注释 1.汉语形散神聚,英文结构紧凑。处理第一句时,可以将几个小短句合译为一句结构严谨的英文。先确定句子的主谓宾,其中Tea thinking作句子主语,is可作系动词,本句中有两个并列表语,即“仪式”和“展示”,分别译为:ritual,demonstration。 2.第二句中,“领略”可以译为:take delight in;“品茶的情趣之意”可以译为:the essence of tea itself。 3.第三句中的“打发时间的方式”可以理解为“消遣、娱乐方式”,可译为:a way of pastime. 4.第四句中的“相当于”可以用短语be the equivalent of来表达。 搜索公众微信号"",获取最新四六级报名、备考信息!

大学英语四级考试翻译题精选练习(39)

大学英语四级考试翻译题精选练习(39) 1.Thisisyet_________________(两国人民的又一个共同点). 2.Hisscientificworks_______________(在英语国家得到广泛阅读). 3.Revolutionmeanstheemancipationoftheproductiveforces,_____________(改革也是解放生产力). 4.Heisoptimistic________________(对现时信息产业的发展状况). 5.Workinallfieldsshouldbesubordinatedtoand________________(服务于经济发展的进程). 1.anothercommonpointbetweenthepeopleofourtwocountries 解析:本题考查通过增补介词使译文的意思更完整。虽然原文没有和between相对应的词,但是"共同点"是两国人民之间在某方面进行比较的结果,所以增补between之后,符合英语表达习惯。增词法也是汉译英中常用技巧之一,再如:她以教书为业。(Sheisateacherbyoccupation.)我已重新考虑了那件事。(I'vehadsecondthoughtonthatmatter.) 2.werewidelyreadinEnglish-speakingcountries 解析:若是按照字面翻译,这句话很可能被译为werewidelyreadinEnglishcountries。但是原文中"英语国家"的含义是"讲英语的国家"。这体现了英汉表达差异。请考生看下面这句话的英译:我卖掉了彩电。/IsoldoutmycolorTV.这句译文错误在于,没弄清"彩电"的含义。"彩电"有两层意思:一是指具体的实物,即彩色电视机colorTVset;二是指屏幕上出现的影像,即彩色电视colorTV。而句子中卖掉的只能是机器,具体的实物。 3.andsodoesreform 解析:本题意为:革命是解放生产力,改革也是解放生产力。考点有二:第一,考查词性转移。原文中"解放"用作动词,"生产力"作宾语。译文中处理成名词短语"对生产力的解放"。第二,考查省译法。我们不能把原文译成andreformalsomeanstheemancipationoftheproductiveforces,这种结构显得臃肿累赘。为避免重复,可以选用andsodoes...来代替这个动宾结构。 4.aboutthepresentdevelopmentofinformationindustry 解析:"对......表示乐观"可以用句型beoptimisticaboutsth.。这句话不能译成aboutthestatusofthepresentdevelopmentofinformationindustry。"状况"是一个范畴词,没有实际含义,可省略不译。 5.servetheeconomicdevelopment 解析:"服务于......"即"为......服务",所以要用servesb./sth.的结构,不能译成beservedto。"进程"也是一个范畴词,可以省略不译。另外,besubordinatedto是一个固定结构,含义是"从属于......,隶属于......"。 声明:此资源由本人收集整理于网络,只用于交流学习,请勿用作它途。如有侵权,请联系,删除处理。

2016年12月英语四级翻译真题及参考答案

Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese to English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2. 2016年12月英语四级翻译真题及参考答案(卷一)红色 在中国文化中,红色通常象征着好运、长寿和幸福,在春节和其他喜庆场合,红色到处可见。人们把现金作为礼物送给家人或亲密朋友时,通常放在红信封里。红色在中国流行的另一个原因是人们把它与中国革命和共产党相联系。然而,红色并不总是代表好运与快乐。因为从前死者的名字常用红色书写,用红墨水写中国人名被看成是一种冒犯行为。 参考范文:

在中国文化中,黄颜色是一种很重要的颜色,因为它具有独特的象征意义。在封建(feudal)社会中,它象征统治者的权力和权威。那时,黄色是专为皇帝使用的颜色,皇家宫殿全都漆成黄色,皇袍总是黄色的,而普通老百姓是禁止穿黄色衣服的。在中国,黄色也是收获的象征。秋天庄稼成熟时,田野变得一片金黄。人们兴高采烈,庆祝丰收。 要点1:黄颜色是一种很重要的颜色yellow is an important color, 相信这句大家都能译的出来,不过要注意:“黄颜色”不需要写yellow color,因为yellow本来就是黄色。 要点2:它具有独特的象征意义which carries a unique symbolic meaning. 要点3:它象征着统治者的权利和权威It embodies rulers’ power and authority.此处,统治者可以接受的译法还有:governor, dominator 都是可以的。象征还可以写成symbolize,represent. 要点4:皇家宫殿全都漆成黄色royal palaces were painted with yellow. 皇家宫殿royal palaces,皇帝emperor,黄袍imperial robes. 要点5:普通老百姓是禁止穿黄色衣服的average people were not allowed to wear yellow clothes,禁止还可以用:ban, forbid. 要点6:秋天庄稼成熟时,田野变得一片金黄When crops are ripe in Fall,the farmlands become a piece of golden yellow.
