A Melting Greenland Weighs Perils Against Potential

By ELISABETH ROSENTHAL October 08, 2012

全球变暖对格陵兰是福是祸?

ELISABETH ROSENTHAL 报道2012年10月08日

NARSAQ, Greenland —As icebergs in the Kayak Harbor pop and hiss while melting away,this remote Arctic town and its culture are also disappearing in a changing climate.

格陵兰岛纳萨克——随着皮艇港(Kayak Harbor)的冰山在融化过程中发出嘶嘶的响声,这座偏远的北极小镇和它的文化,也正在随着气候变化而消失。

Narsaq’s largest employer, a shrimp factory, closed a few years ago after the crustaceans fled north to cooler water. Where once there were eight commercial fishing vessels, there is now one.

纳萨克最大的用工企业,一家虾厂,几年前倒闭了,原因是虾蟹都逃往了北方更寒冷的水域。这里曾一度有八艘商业捕鱼船,现在只剩一艘了。

As a result, the population here, one of southern Greenland’s major towns, has been halved to 1,500 in just a decade. Suicides are up.

因此,作为格陵兰岛南部主要城镇之一,纳萨克的人口在短短十年中降至1500人,减少了一半。自杀率也出现上升。

Andrew Testa for The New York Times

格陵兰岛的一个渔民驾船驶过正在融化的冰山。

“Fishing is the heart of this town,”said Hans Kaspersen, 63, a fisherman. “Lots of people have lost their livelihoods.”

“捕鱼是这个小镇的核心。”今年63岁的渔民汉斯?卡斯佩森(Hans Kaspersen)说,“很多人失去了生计。”

But even as warming temperatures are upending traditional Greenlandic life, they are also offering up intriguing new opportunities for this state of 57,000 —perhaps nowhere more so than here in Narsaq.

尽管逐渐升高的气温正在颠覆着格陵兰人传统的生活方式,但是气温升高也为这个只有5.7万人的国家提供了有趣的新机遇,这种机遇在纳萨克可能最为明显。

V ast new deposits of minerals and gems are being discovered as Greenland’s massive ice cap recedes, forming the basis of a potentially lucrative mining industry.

随着格陵兰岛广袤的冰盖逐渐消融,人们发现了储量丰富的新矿产和宝石,这为潜在利润巨大的采矿业奠定了基础。

One of the world’s largest deposits of rare earth metals —essential for manufacturing cellphones, wind turbines and electric cars —sits just outside Narsaq.

全球最大的稀土金属矿藏就坐落在纳萨克城外不远处,稀土金属在生产手机、风力涡轮机和电动汽车时必不可少。

This could be momentous for Greenland, which has long relied on half a billion dollars a year in welfare payments from Denmark, its parent state. Mining profits could help Greenland become economically self sufficient and render it the first sovereign nation created by global warming.

对格陵兰岛而言,这可能具有重大意义。很长时间以来,格陵兰岛一直依赖其母国丹麦每年拨付的5亿美元资金支持维持运行。采矿利润可能会帮助格陵兰岛实现经济上的自给自足,成为第一个因全球变暖而成立的主权国家。

“One of our goals is to obtain independence,”said Vittus Qujaukitsoq, a prominent labor union leader.

知名工会领袖维图斯?奎奥基茨克(Vittus Qujaukitsoq)说,“我们的目标之一是取得独立。”

But the rapid transition from a society of individual fishermen and hunters to an economy supported by corporate mining raises difficult questions. How would Greenland’s insular settlements tolerate an influx of thousands of Polish or Chinese construction workers, as has been proposed? Will mining despoil a natural environment essential to Greenland’s national identity —the whales and seals, the silent icy fjords, and mythic polar bears? Can fisherman reinvent themselves as miners?

然而,把一个由个体渔民和猎人组成的社会,迅速转变为由企业采矿支撑的经济体,也引发了一些难题。比如,格陵兰岛上与世隔绝的定居点,如何承受计划招徕的数千名波兰或中国建筑工人?采矿是否会破坏格陵兰岛的国家形象(鲸、海豹、寂静的冰川海湾,以及神秘的北极熊)所不可或缺的自然环境?渔民们能够把自身重塑成矿工吗?

“I think mining will be the future, but this is a difficult phase,”said Jens B. Frederiksen, Greenland’s housing and infrastructure minister and a deputy premier. “It’s a plan that not everyone wants. It’s about traditions, the freedom of a boat, family professions.”

“我认为采矿就是我们的未来,但现在是一个艰难的阶段。”格陵兰住房与基础设施部长、副总理延斯?B?佛雷德利克森(Jens B. Frederiksen)说,“这并不是一个所有人都赞成的计划,它会涉及传统、驾船的自由,以及代代相传的职业。”

The Arctic is warming even faster than other parts of the planet, and the rapidly melting ice is causing alarm among scientists about sea-level rise. In northeastern Greenland, average yearly temperature have risen 4.5 degrees in the past 15 years, and scientists predict the area could warm by 14 to 21 degrees by the end of the century.

北极变暖的速度比地球上其他任何地方都快,而迅速融化的冰川引起了科学家对海平面上升的警觉。过去15年中,格陵兰岛东北部的年均气温上升了4.5度。而科学家预测,到本世纪末,该地区气温会升高14至21度。

Already, winter pack ice that covers the fjords is no longer stable enough for dog sledding and snowmobile traffic in many areas. Winter fishing, essential to feeding families, is becoming hazardous or impossible.

在很多地区,冬季覆盖在峡湾里的浮冰已经不够稳固,狗拉雪橇和摩托雪橇都无法通行了。冬季捕鱼是为很多家庭提供食物的重要手段,但现在却变得很危险,甚至不可能了。

It has long been known that Greenland sat upon vast mineral lodes, and the Danish government has mapped them intermittently for decades. Niels Bohr, Denmark’s Nobel Prize-winning nuclear physicist and a member of the Manhattan Project, visited Narsaq in 1957 because of its uranium deposits.

格陵兰岛地下蕴藏着巨大的矿藏这一点久为人知。几十年来,丹麦政府已经断断续续地绘制了这些矿藏的分布图。参与过曼哈顿计划(Manhattan Project)的丹麦核物理学家、诺贝尔奖得主尼尔斯?玻尔(Niels Bohr)曾在1957年造访纳萨克,原因是这里有铀矿藏。

But previous attempts at mining mostly failed, proving too expensive in the inclement

conditions. Now, warming has altered the equation.

然而,之前的开采尝试几乎都失败了,事实证明在严酷的环境下采矿,成本过于高昂。如今,气候变暖让这个等式发生了变化。

Greenland’s Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum, charged with managing the boom, currently has 150 active licenses for mineral exploration, up from 20 a decade ago. Altogether, companies spent $100 million exploring Greenland’s deposits last year, and several are applying for licenses to begin construction on new mines, bearing gold, iron and zinc and rare earths. There are also foreign companies exploring for offshore oil.

负责对开发热潮进行管理的格陵兰矿产与石油管理局(Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum)目前发放的有效的矿产勘探许可证有150份,而十年前仅为20份。去年,各企业总计投入了1亿美元用于勘探格陵兰岛的矿藏。有几家公司正在申请在新矿藏进行建设的许可证。这些新矿蕴藏着金、铁、锌和稀土。也有一些外国公司在勘探近海石油。

“For me, I wouldn’t mind if the whole ice cap disappears,”said Ole Christiansen, the chief executive of NunamMinerals, Greenland’s largest homegrown mining company, as he picked his way along a proposed gold mining site up the fjord from Nuuk, Greenland’s capital. “As it melts, we’re seeing new places with very attractive geology.”

“就我而言,我不介意整个冰盖都消失。”格陵兰岛最大的本土矿业公司NunamMinerals 首席执行官奥勒?克里斯蒂安森(Ole Christiansen)说。他正从格陵兰岛首都努克沿着峡湾前往一处提议的金矿开采地。“随着冰盖的融化,我们看到了地貌特征更引人入胜的新地方。”

The Black Angel lead and zinc mine, which closed in 1990, is applying to reopen this year, said Jorgen T. Hammeken-Holm, who oversees licensing at the country’s mining bureau, “because the ice is in retreat and you’re getting much more to explore.”

在格陵兰矿务局负责许可证发放的官员约尔延?T?哈梅肯-霍尔姆(Jorgen T. Hammeken-Holm)表示,1990年关停的黑天使(Black Angel)铅锌矿,正在申请今年重新开矿。她说,“因为冰川正在消退,可供勘探的地方越来越多了。”

The Greenlandic government hopes that mining will provide new revenue. In granting Greenland home rule in 2009, Denmark froze its annual subsidy, which is scheduled to be decreased further in the coming years.

格陵兰政府希望采矿能带来新的收入。2009年,丹麦允许格陵兰实行地方自治,并将冻结给格陵兰岛拨付的年度补贴。根据安排,补贴金额会在接下来的几年里进一步减少。

Here in Narsaq, a collection of brightly painted homes bordered by spectacular fjords, two foreign companies are applying to the government for permission to mine.

在纳萨克当地,一片房屋涂着明亮的颜色,不远处就是壮观的峡湾。两家外国公司正在向政府申请采矿许可。

“This is huge; we could be mining this for the next 100 years,”said Eric Sondergaard, a geologist with the Australian-owned company Greenland Minerals and Energy, who was on the outskirts of Narsaq one day recently, picking at rocks on a moon-like plateau rich with an estimated 10.5 million tons of rare earth ore.

澳大利亚所有的格陵兰矿产和能源公司(Greenland Minerals and Energy)的地质学家埃里克?森诺高(Eric Sondergaard)前不久说,“这儿储藏丰富,我们可能未来100年都会在这里采矿。”当时,他正在纳萨克郊外一个月亮型的高原上反复检查岩石。据估计,这个高原蕴藏着1050万吨稀土矿石。

That proximity promises employment, and the company is already schooling some young

men in drilling and in English, the international language of mine operations. It plans to build a processing plant, a new port and more roads. (Greenland currently has none outside of settled areas.) Narsaq’s tiny airport, previously threatened with closure from lack of traffic, could be expanded. A local landlord is contemplating converting an abandoned apartment block into a hotel.

由于临近矿藏,采矿业在这里提供了就业机会。这家公司已经开始教一些年轻人钻孔和英语了。英语是采矿作业使用的国际语言。公司计划修建一座加工厂和一座新港口,还打算多修些公路。(目前,在格陵兰岛上的定居点以外还没有公路。)纳萨克那个小机场过去因为旅客太少,差一点被关闭,但现在可能还会扩建。当地的一名房东正盘算着把一处闲置的公寓楼改造成旅馆。

“There will be a lot of people coming from outside and that will be a big challenge since Greenlandic culture has been isolated,”said Jasper Schroder, a student home in Narsaq from university in Denmark.

在丹麦一所大学就读的大学生雅斯佩尔?施罗德(Jasper Schroder)家在纳萨克,他说,“会有很多外国人来,因为格陵兰岛的文化一直都很孤立,这会是一个很大的挑战。”

Still, he supports the mine and hopes it will provide jobs and stem the rash of suicides, particularly among his peers; Greenland has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. “People in this culture don’t want to be a burden to their families if they can’t contribute,”he said.

但他还是支持采矿,并且希望采矿业能提供工作机会,遏止草率的自杀事件,尤其是他的同龄人的自杀。格陵兰是全世界自杀率最高的地方之一。他说,“生活在这种文化中的人,如果不能为家庭做出贡献,就不想成为家人的负担。”

But not all are convinced of the benefits of mining. “Of course the mine will help the local economy and will help Greenland, but I’m not so sure if it will be good for us,”said Dorothea Rodgaard, who runs a local guesthouse. “We are worried about the loss of nature.”

然而,不是所有人都相信采矿会带来好处。在本地经营着一家家庭旅馆的多罗特娅?罗德高(Dorothea Rodgaard)说,“当然,采矿会有助于本地的经济,也有助于格陵兰,但它是否对我们有利,我就不是那么确定了。我们担心自然环境的损失。”

Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiledunderground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that windstoward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with theslogan “Coal =Jobs.” 犹他州东部有一个矿产丰富的小镇,那里的人们祖祖辈辈都以采煤为生。一提起在地下辛苦采煤时的情景,每个家庭总是倍感骄傲。街道两旁的煤炭供应公司一个挨着一个。在通往矿井的蜿蜒小路上方的广告牌上,一个满脸炭灰的矿工凝视着远方,旁边的标语写着“煤炭=工作”。 Butrecently, 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, stricterfederal pollution regulations. 但是最近,小镇的人们心里充满了恐惧。联邦政府新颁布了一套更为严格的污染管理条例,这使得小镇附近峡谷之中的一家美国最古老的燃煤电厂频临倒闭。 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. 由于能源公司纷纷弃用煤炭,转而使用更清洁、更廉价的天然气,小镇的人们越来越害怕,他们的家园可能很快就会人去楼空。卡本电厂的几十名工人早就意识到,他们要么提前退休,要么另谋职业。当地的货运和装配人员正准备开发外地的业务。

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.

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.”

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

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. Every Sunday now, the residents of this town in southwest Spain —young and old —do what needs to be done, whether it is cleaning the streets, raking the leaves, unclogging culverts or planting trees in the park. “It was an initiative from them,”said Mr. García. “Day to day we talked to people and we told them there was no money. Of course, they could see it. The grass in between the sidewalks was up to my thigh. “

两点,考完实务,刚回到宿舍,有点小兴奋,没睡着觉。 想着,趁着思维还活跃,来回顾一下真题,跟大家分享。 上午,十点到十一点,《口译综合》部分: 1.判断题:是关于战争对伊拉克对人民生活,心理等的影响。题目不难,但有些选项很有迷惑性,而且不是每题的选项内容跟着录音走的,有时候可能会跳跃,所以大家听之前要纵观题目内容,心里有个底。 2.单句理解。各种话题都有,比一般听力理解要难,比平时练习也难一些,会涉及到一些谚语俗语的理解,很短,比如“man in the street" 就不能理解为"the man standing in the street",类似的有好几个,都有点迷惑人,另外还有出现出生时间与年岁间换算,不过这种大家应该见得比较多。总之,出题总会有些拐弯抹角,来设置陷阱。 3.篇章理解。说实话,比我想象中的难。老师总说过综合没什么问题,因而轻视了,也没怎么练习。同样跳跃性大,选项内容4要纵观全文来判断,这样也就增加了难度。 4.填空。内容是经济类。我没具体看,只管填词了。速度快,笔记也要快。 5.听力复述。关于北极熊是濒临物种,涉及到全球变暖的原因,以及保护工作什么的。这部分我没做好。后来有点敢,怕时间不够去涂卡,结果半途回来接着写复述,笔记都不太看的懂了,囧,希望老天保佑,阅卷人大慈大悲,给我多点分。。。 下午,一点半到两点,《口译实务》部分: 这是我们大家最怕,最担心的部分了,也是平时练习的重点,过不过关键在此了。 补充,这次考试,有英音有美英,这对我平时只听美英的人来说,有点加大难度了。 1.对话部分:是关于四川菜的,还行,挺口语化的,虽然涉及到菜系说法,但都很浅显,没有考很深。词也比较基础。 2.英译汉:关于地球熄灯一小时计划的。涉及到一些城市名与著名景点地,比如纽约的帝国大厦,巴黎的埃菲尔铁搭。这个平时看关于这个的中文新闻也会提到的,什么世界各地啊哪儿哪儿的都参与熄灯计划中,为保护我们共同的地球而努力之类的话。所以可以算比较简单了。 3。汉译英:中文与汉字。这个有点出乎意料,我以为会是某个演讲讲话,什么中国外交关系呢,因为以前大都这样。出现的词有些也不好翻,什么“象形文字”“表意文字”之类的,当时一瞬间很难想出合适的表达。平时练习,还是广泛涉猎各种话题吧,有些人说梅德明编的三口那个教材不太实用,我觉得不是,你要是把那书中的话题词汇都啃熟了,考试就容易多了,我估计这次汉字的可能书上就有类似的,菜系书上是有的。学的多,总会是有好处的。

三级口译真题

三级口译真题 2019上半年CATTI口译三级真题(英译汉) Last night, when I was coming into town from Pudong Airport, I crossed the beautiful Huangpu River on the Lupu Bridge. This reminded me of China’s talent in making bridges and made me think of three other important bridges. Bridge number one: 40 years ago, China started to build a “bridge to the world” by opening its economy and by kickstarting reforms that have changed the lives and prospects of hundreds of millions of people—here and beyond China. By transforming itself—through trade, hard work, and learning from others—China has also helped to transform the global economy. Progress in this country has played a significant role in boosting productivity, innovation and living standards in countries around the world. Yes, there is always more work to be done. On these bridges, you don’t want traffic jams. There is room for even greater openness in China’s domestic market, which can help
