Passage 1

Along a rugged, wideNorth Sea beach here on a recent day, children form ed teams of eight to 10,taking their places beside mounds of sand carefull y cordoned by tape. They hadone hour for their sand castle competition. S ome built fishlike structures,complete with scales. Others spent their time on elaborate ditch and dikelabyrinths. Each castle was adorned on top wit h a white flag.

近日，北海沿岸崎岖而宽广的海滩上，孩子们八人一组，十人一队，在用隔离带精心围起来的沙堆旁各就各位。他们要在一个小时内完成堆沙堡的比赛。有些人打造鱼形的主体建筑，再配上鳞片。其余的人修建复杂的沟渠和迷宫式的堤坝。每个沙堡的顶部都插有一面白旗。

Then they watched thesea invade and devour their work, seeing whose ca stle could with stand the tidelongest. The last standing flag won.

然后，孩子们等待着大海涨潮，吞没沙堡，看谁的沙堡在潮水中持续的时间最久。白旗最后倒下的沙堡获胜。

It was no ordinary dayat the beach, but a newly minted, state-sanctioned c

ompetition forschoolchildren to raise awareness of the dangers of rising s ea levels in a countryof precarious geography that has provided lessons fo r the world about watermanagement, but that fears that its next generation will grow complacent.

孩子们在海滩上度过的这一天意义非凡。荷兰地理环境不稳定，海平面不断上升，因此，当地政府决定，为小学生们举办一次别开生面的比赛，以此来提高孩子们的危险意识。尽管荷兰一直是世界各国仿效的水利大国，仍然担心下一代会因此变得骄傲自大。

Fifty-five percent ofthe Netherlands is either below sea level or heavily fl ood-prone. Yet thanks toits renowned expertise and large water managem ent budget (about1.25 percent ofgross domestic product), the Netherlands has averted catastrophe since aflooding disaster in 1953.

荷兰境内55%的土地，要么低于海平面，要么存在严重的水患。然而，由于水利专业技术久负盛名，水利专项拨款又十分庞大（约占国内生产总值的1.25%），所以1953年洪灾过后，荷兰再也没有遭受过严重的水灾。

Experts here say thatthey now worry that the famed Dutch water manage ment system actually works toowell and that citizens will begin to take fo r granted the nation’s success instaying dry. As global climate change threatens to raise sea le

vels by as muchas four feet by the end of the century, the authorities here are working tomake real to children the forecasts that may seem far-off, b ut that will shapetheir lives in adulthood and old age.

专家称，他们担心，由于荷兰现有的水利系统太完善了，国民开始想当然地以为，荷兰在水利方面已经取得了成功。全球气候变暖，预示着到本世纪末，荷兰的海平面会上升四英尺。当地政府试图通过本次比赛，让孩子们明白，这些看似遥不可及的预示，将会决定孩子们的中老年生活。

“Everything works sosmoothly that people don’t realize anymore that they are taking a risk indeveloping urban areas in l ow-lying areas,” said Raimond Hafkenscheid, the leadorganizer of the c ompetition and a water expert with the Foreign Ministry.

本次竞赛的主要组织者雷蒙德·哈肯什德是外交部的水利专家，他说：“荷兰的水利工程太安全了，人们意识不到，在低洼地区拓展城市面积是在冒天下之大不韪。”

Before the competition,the children, ages 6 to 11, were coached by expert s in dike building and watermanagement. V olunteers stood by, many of th em freshly graduated civilengineers, giving last-minute advice on how be st to battle the rising water.

专家在赛前对6到11岁的儿童进行了培训，传授筑坝和治水知识。

志愿者在现场观战，他们大都是刚刚毕业的土木工程师。比赛的最后一刻，他们会把抵抗水势上涨的绝招告诉给孩子们。

A recently releasedreport by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on watermanagement in the Netherlands pointed to an “awareness gap” among Dutchcitizens. The finding did much to get th e sand castle contest off the ground.

最近，经济合作与发展组织发布了一份报告。报告指出，荷兰民众在水利方面存在着“意识缺陷”。这份报告对成功举办本次沙堡竞赛起到了很大的作用。

Passage2

Early Maori adapted thetropically-based east Polynesian culture in line wi th the challenges associatedwith a larger and more diverse environment, e ventually developing their owndistinctive culture. The British and Irish i mmigrants brought aspects of theirown culture to New Zealand and also i nfluenced Maori culture. More recentlyAmerican, Australian, Asian and o ther European culture shave exerted influence onNew Zealand.

毛利人最初为了应对更大更多变的环境带来的挑战，逐渐适应了地处热带的东波利尼西亚文化，最终形成了自己独特的文化。英国和爱尔兰的移民把本土文化带到了新西兰，也影响了毛利文化。近年来，美洲、澳洲、亚洲、以及欧洲其他国家的文化也对新西兰产生了影响。

Even though themajority of the population now lives in cities, much of N ew Zealand’s art,literature, film and humor has rural themes.

尽管现在大多数的新西兰人生活在城市，但新西兰许多的艺术、文学、电影和幽默还是以乡村生活为主题。

New Zealand music hasbeen influenced by blues, jazz, country, rock and roll, with many of thesegenres given a unique New Zealand interpretation . Maori developed traditionalchants and songs from their ancient South-E ast Asian origins, and aftercenturies of isolation created a unique “mono

tonous” and “doleful” sound.

新西兰音乐深受蓝调音乐、爵士乐、乡村音乐和摇滚乐的影响，但其中很多流派都经过了新西兰人独特的艺术加工。毛利人传统的颂歌和歌曲最早源于古老的东南亚地区，在与世隔绝数百年后，形成了一种独特的“单调”而“悲伤”的音乐风格。

The number of NewZealand films significantly increased during the 1970 s. In 1978the New ZealandFilm Commission started assisting local film-makers and many films attained aworld audience, some receiving internat ional acknowledgment. New Zealandtelevision primarily broadcasts Ame rican and British programming, along with alarge number of Australian a nd local shows. The country's diverse scenery andcompact size, plus gove rnment incentives, have encouraged some producers tofilm big budget mo vies in New Zealand.

二十世纪七十年代，新西兰电影产量剧增。1978年，新西兰电影协会开始帮助本土电影公司和国产影片在全球寻找观众，有些影片借此赢得了国际认可。新西兰电视主要播放美国和英国的电视节目，同时播放大量的澳洲和本土的电视节目。新西兰景色各异，地形小巧，加之政策刺激，促使一些电影公司，投巨资来此拍摄影片。

Our distinctive cultureis core to what makes New Zealand a great place to live. Cultural expression,engagement and understanding are fundamental

to a vibrant and healthy societyand help define what it is to be a New Zea lander.

新西兰之所以成为最适合人口居住的国家，关键在于我们的文化与众不同。文化表达、文化融合和文化理解不仅是一个富有活力的健康社会的基础所在，而且有助于明确什么才是新西兰人真正应该具备的条件。

Maori culture makes NewZealand unique in a globalized world and is cen tral to our sense of place,identifying us as a nation. Active participation b y Maori indistinct Maoriactivity, will ensure Maori culture is protected an d flourishes.

有了毛利文化，新西兰才能在全球一体化的世界里独树一帜；有了毛利文化，我们才有了方位感，才能证明我们是一个国家。毛利人积极参与毛利人特有的活动，才能确保毛利文化得到保护和发扬。

Passage 2

人类正处于极端天气的适应期，炎热的酷暑、狂暴的飓风、刺骨的严寒以及滔天的洪水近乎成了“常客”。风调雨顺已被视为“奢侈品”。Mankind is in a periodof adaptation to extreme weather conditions. Swelt ering summers, violenthurricanes, freezing winters and monstrous floods have almost become “frequent visitors”. And favorable weather has see medto be elevated to a “luxury”.

气象学家对此众说纷纭，莫衷一是。有的说是全球变暖所致，有的说是大气环流异常，还有的认为厄尔尼诺是罪魁祸首。Meteorologists havemixed views of this. Some believe this should be attri butable to climatechange, some argue that extreme climate is caused by at mospheric circulationanomaly, and still others insist that the El Nino effec t needs to be blamed asthe main culprit .

尽管如此，大多数学者都认同这样一个观点：全球气候变化速度正在加剧，极端灾害天气今后无疑将更加频繁，并且其强度和范围都将走强。面对日益脆弱的全球气候，人类需要更认真地思考，如何切实有效地规范自身活动，珍爱我们共同的家园。

Anyhow, most scholarsagree on certain propositions that global climate c

hange is accelerating andextreme weather will grow more frequent, intens e and wide-ranging. Given anincreasing frail / even weaker global climate , mankind need think morecarefully about how to effectively manage our own activities and cherish ourshared homeland.

未来极端事件将对与气候有密切相关的行业，如水利、农业、林业、能源、健康和旅游业等有更大影响。在世界经济发展不稳定性、不确定性上升的当下，上述因素为全球经济复苏带来更多变数。

Future extreme weatherevents will exert a growing impact on those indust ries closely linked toclimate change such as water conservancy, agricultur e, forestry, energy, healthand tourism. The aforesaid factors have added to the complexity of economicrecovery, given a less stable and certain worl d economy.

2019年CATTI二级笔译英译汉真题及参考答案 【第一篇】 So where there is financial connection, we see that rapid improvements in quality of life can quickly follow. In our modern context, there are several important channels to achieving this greater financial connectivity. I want to highlight two today: increased capital mobility and increased financial inclusion. First, enabling capital to flow more freely. Allowing capital to flow across borders can help support inclusive growth. Right now, foreign direct investment —FDI — is only 1.9 percent of GDP in developing countries. Before the global financial crisis, it was at 2.5 percent. Making progress on major infrastructure needs will require capital flows to rise again and to be managed safely. Greater openness to capital flows can also bring down the cost of finance, improve the efficiency of the financial sector, and allow capital to support productive investments and new jobs. Challenges that come with opening up capital markets. Thankfully, we know from experience the elements that are required for success. These include sound financial regulation, transparent rules for investment, and attention to fiscal sustainability. We also need increased financial inclusion. A few numbers: close to half of the adult population in low and middle-income Asia-Pacific economies do not have a bank account. Less than 10 percent have ever borrowed from a financial institution. And yet, we know that closing the finance gap is an “economic must-have” for nations to thrive in the 21st century. IMF analysis shows that if the least financially inclusive countries in Asia narrowed the finance gap to the level of Thailand — an emerging market economy — the poverty rate in those countries could be reduced by nearly 4 percent. How can we get there? In part, through policies that enable more women and rural citizens to access financial services. The financial gender gap for women in developing countries is about 9 percent and has remained largely unchanged since 2011. There is no silver bullet, but we know that fintech can play a catalyzing role. In Cambodia, for example, strong public-private partnerships in supporting mobile finance has led to a tripling in the number of micro-financial institutions since 2011. These institutions have now provided loans to over 2 million new borrowers, representing nearly 20 percent of the adult population. Many of these citizens had never had a bank account. Now they can save for the future and perhaps even start a business of their own. These are ideas that can work everywhere. But countries have to be willing to partner and learn from each other. That is one of the major reasons why last October, the IMF and World Bank launched the Bali Fintech Agenda. The agenda lays out key principles — from developing financial markets to safeguarding financial integrity — that can help each nation as it strives for greater financial inclusion. 【第一篇参考答案】

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/ad9940482.html, 或“50百万”。对于万以上数字，中文一般以“万”和“亿”为单位;原文“half a billion”，可译为“5亿”。原文“five trucks”，可译为“5辆卡车”;原文“3-4 percent”，可译为“3%-4%”;原文“five percentage points”，可译为“5个百分点”。 原文用英文数字或罗马数字表示的，除纯粹属于计量或统计范畴的数值的情况外，译文用汉字。例如：原文“Chapter II”，可译为“第二章”，不能译为“第2章”;原文“Committee of Twenty-four”，可译为“二十四国委员会”，不能译为“24国委员会”;原文“Sixty-fourth Session”，可译为“第六十四届会议”，不能译为“第64届会议”。 在原文中，数字如作为词素构成固定的词、词组、惯用语、缩略语、具有修辞色彩的语句，以及邻近两个数字连用表示概数的情况，则译文中可使用汉字;整数一至十，如果不是出现在具有统计意义的一组数字中，可以用汉字，但要照顾到上下文，以便求得局部体例上的一致。例如：原文“quarter”，应译为“四分之一”;原文“three to four people”，则译为“三四人”;原文“Third World”，可译为“第三世界”;原文“several thousand people”，则译为“几千人”;原文“five principles”，可译为“五项原则”;原文“four or five hundred”，可译为“四五百”;原文“well over sixty”，可译为“六十好几了(年龄)”, 原文“50-odd years old”，可译为“五十出头”, 原文“a little over 30 years old”，可译为“三十挂零”等等。 对于数字的翻译还可以做出许多规定，但对于翻译(水平)考试而言，掌握以上三点就基本可以了。对于不规范的数字表述，诸如“6亿5千4百32万1千”之类，阅卷老师都是要酌情扣分的。

2013到2011年CATTI二级笔译真题及参考答案

2013年11月英语二级《笔译实务》试题 Part A Compulsory Translation（必译题） The archivists requested a donkey, but what they got from the mayor‘s office were four wary black sheep, which, as of Wednesday morning, were chewing away at a lumpy field of grass beside the municipal archives building as the City of Paris‘s newest, shaggiest lawn mowers. Mayor Bertrand Delano? has made the environment a priority since his election in 2001, with popular bike- and car-sharing programs, an expanded network of designated lanes for bicycles and buses, and an enormous project to pedestrianize the banks along much of the Seine. The sheep, which are to mow (and, not inconsequentially, fertilize) an airy half-acre patch in the 19th District intended in the same spirit. City Hall refers to the project as ―eco-grazing,‖ and it notes that the four ewes will prevent the use of noisy, gas-guzzling mowers and cut down on the use of herbicides. Paris has plans for a slightly larger eco-grazing project not far from the archives building, assuming all goes well; similar projects have been under way in smaller towns in the region in recent years. The sheep, from a rare, diminutive Breton breed called Ouessant, stand just about two feet high. Chosen for their hardiness, city officials said, they will pasture here until October inside a three-foot-high, yellow electrified fence. ―This is really not a one-shot deal,‖ insisted René Dutrey, the adjunct mayor for the environment and sustainable development. Mr. Dutrey, a fast-talking man in orange-striped Adidas Samba sneakers, noted that the sheep had cost the city a total of just about $335, though no further economic projections have been drawn up for the time being. A metal fence surrounds the grounds of the archives, and a security guard stands watch at the gate, so there is little risk that local predators — large, unleashed dogs, for instance — will be able to reach the ewes. Curious humans, however, are encouraged to visit the sheep, and perhaps the archives, too. The eco-grazing project began as an initiative to attract the public to the archives, and informational panels have been put in place to explain what, exactly, the

Passage1 For more than a decade,archaeologists and historians have been studying the contents of a ninth-century Arab dhow that was discovered in1998off Indonesia’s Belitung Island.The sea-cucumber divers who found the wreck had no idea that it eventually would be considered one of the most important maritime discoveries of the late20th century. The dhow was carrying a rich cargo—60,000ceramic pieces and an array of gold and silver works—and its discovery has confirmed how significant trade was along a maritime silk road between Tang Dynasty China and Abbasid Iraq.It has also revealed how China was mass-producing trade goods even then and customizing them to suit the tastes of clients in West Asia. “Shipwrecked:Tang Treasures and Monsoon Winds”at the new,lotus-shaped Art Science Museum designed by Moshe Safdie presents items from the Belitung wreck. Curated by the Asian Civilizatons Museum here in Singapore and the Arthur M.Sackler Gallery in Washington,the show is expected to travel to museums around the world over the next five to six years. “This exhibitions tells us a story about an extraordinary moment in globalization,”said Julian Raby,Director of the Arthur M.Sackler Gallery.“It brings to life the tale of Sinbad sailing to China to make his fortune.It shows us that the world in the ninth century was not as fragmented as we assumed.There were two great export powers:the Tang in the East and Abbasid based in Baghdad.” Until the Belitung find,historians had thought that Tang China traded primarily through the land routes of Central Asia,mainly on the Silk Road.Ancient recrods told of Persian fleets sailing the Southeast Asian seas,but no wrecks had been found,until the Belitung dhow.Its cargo confirmed that a huge volume of trade was taking place along a maritime route,said Heidi Tan,a curator at the Asian Civilizations Museum

2016.11 CATTI 英语二级笔译实务科目试题 E-C Passage 1 Everyone knows that weddings—the most elaborate and costly form of old school pageantry still acceptable in modern society—are stupid expensive. But it turns out Americans are now blowing even more money than ever before on what‘s supposed to be the most magical day of any couple‘s life together. Money that, to be honest, could be spent on much, much cooler stuff. The Knot released its annual wedding survey this week, with findings showing that couples are spending a mind-numbing average of $32,641 on matrimonial celebrations. The study includes data from nearly 18,000 pairs across the country. While the cost of a wedding varied greatly from city to city—reaching a nauseating high of $82,300 in Manhattan—the price was steep no matter where couples chose to get hitched. All this despite the fact that weddings (and marriages in general, honestly) can be a fairly impractical thing to invest in. Seriously, even 50 Cent doesn‘t spend as much in a day as you‘re spending on a reception band alone. Think about that. So rather than buying into the Marriage Industrial Complex on a union that may or may not work out, wouldn‘t it make more sense to save your hard-earned money by forgoing the big ceremony for the major expenses you‘re likely to face in married life? You know, like a mortgage. Or braces for your wallet-draining children-to-be. And if your fianceé is dead set on a fairytale wedding? You could always just blow your financial load on a plenty fulfilling single life. With nearly $33,000 to spend in the life of a singledom, you could get pretty far when it comes to amenities and entertainment. Perhaps the best part of being free from the shackles of wedding planning is the opportunity to treat yourself. Like, why drop $1,400 on a frilly dress you‘ll wear once before it turns to moth food when you can rock the most expensive shoes of the season and look great doing it? And while weddings are supposed to be all about the happy couple, everyone knows that‘s bull, because you have to feed your guests and provide them entertainment and put a roof over their heads for a couple of hours and likely go into debt doing it. In addition to simply having fun, there are some more practical ways to spend your wedding purse as well.
