早在去年年底,中美就已经发布了一份《气候变化联合声明》,共同宣布了控制温室气体的相关协议,中方承诺2030年左右达到碳排放峰值并争取尽早达峰,2030年非化石能源在一次能源消费中的比重提升到20%左右,此举被誉为中国在应对气候变化中走出积极的一大步。

2017年catti英语笔译初级模拟题:环境危机.doc
【英译汉】The Threatened EnvironmentIn recent years we have come to realize that several threats to the environment are fun dame ntal. One is acid rain, which is created by the millions of tones of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides spewed out of North American smokestacks and automobile exhaust pipes 1. The oxides mix with water vapor in the air to form weak sulphuric and n itric acid, which later falls as acid rain. The result is in creased acidity in lakes, which has curtailed the ability of many fish to reproduce, and in the soil, which has slowed the growth of trees and in creased their vulnerability to disease. 2 With every news report, the externality dimension of environmental problems 3 seems to become clearer. For instanee, it was recently reported that 4 Lapp villagers in no rther n Swede n and Norway were forbidde n to eat local rein deer meat after their herds became con tami nated by fallout from the nu clear accide nt at Cher no byl 5 in far-off Ukraine. Similarly, Canadian wildlife scientists have found high levels of PCBs 6 and other contaminants in polar-bear livers.But some pollution problems involve such dramatic externalities that the whole world is affected. One example is the greenhouse effect. The steadily rising and esse ntially irreversible concert trati on 7 of carb on dioxide in the earth's atmosphere causes it to trap increasing amounts of the heat radiated by the planet. The general warming trend is expected to 8 have disastrous effects, including mass starvation in some less developed countries, flooding of entire coastal areas, and severe droughts on the Canadian Prairies, perhaps within the next fifty years.Another worldwide threat is in the upper atmosphere - the thinning of the layer of ozone, a bluish gas that shields the earth from the sun's ultraviolet rays. 9 Synthetic chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are depleting the ozone layer. One estimated result is that the chanee of getting skin cancer is now 8 to 16 percent greater than it was in 1950. Hazardous wastes (such as those from nuelear plants, in dustrial manufacturi ng, laboratories, and medical in stitutions) represe nt 10 yet another critical environmentai problem improperly disposed, they can threaten all forms of organic I讦e. Unfortunately, little has been done so far to solve this problem. Indeed there are many instances in which industrialized countries have literally just shipped the problem off toll the poorest of the less developed countries - countries unequipped with the necessary storage and treatment facilities, and certainly too poor to deal with the serious environmental problems that will follow. 12 For example, in 1988 the government of Guinea Bissau 13 signed a contract with two British firms to receive 15 million tonnes of pharmaceutical wastes over a five-year period. While this arrangement was very inexpensive from the firms' point of view, the payments to Guinea-Bissau totaled more than four times that county's national product. It makes it difficult to solve the problem when parts of the world are sopoor that they are forced to regard such transactions as H good deals11.14 The users of the worlds resources simply must be made to take the external costs of their actions into consideration when making their decisions. The people who are hacking down the world's rain forests at the rate of 1200 hectares an hour are literally cutting away the lungs of the earth, since rain forests contribute a large percentage of the oxygen in the earth's atmosphere. 15 But these individuals are not necessarily evil: in many cases, they are forced to overuse the environment for their own or their country's immediate survival. For example, some developing countries' needs for foreign exchange to pay for imports compel them to cut timber faster than it can be regenerated. They simply cannot afford to worry about the future.Obviously, many of these problems cannot be solved without political decisions to redistribute income to the less developed countries, and to define property rights. 16 But the right kinds of political and institutional changes will be forthcoming only if they are rooted in an understanding of the externality dimension of environmentai issues.Countries in the developed world must therefore learn to cooperate in order to devise a sufficiently comprehensive program of income redistribution to the less developed countries.Without help from the developed world, these poorer countries cannot possibly make the sacrifices that the human race must make collectively 17 to reverse the deterioration of the environment. 18词汇1.acid rain 酸雨2.sulphur dioxide 二氧化硫3.Smokestacks 烟囱4.nitricacid 氮酸5.vulnerability 脆弱性6.contaminate j亏染7.polar-bear 北极熊8.irreversible不可逆转的9.starvation 饥饿10.ozone layer 臭氧层11.hazardous 危险的12.pharmaceutical 制药的13.hack down 砍伐14.redistribute 重新分配15.forthcoming即将到来的16.sufficiently 充足的17.deterioration 恶化注释1•本句包含一个定语从句,句子较长,宜拆开再译。
初级翻译资格考试口译练习及答案
初级翻译资格考试口译练习及答案2017初级翻译资格考试口译练习及答案第一题:中国人认为,太极是天地万物之根源。
太极分为阴阳二气,阴阳二气产生木、火、土、金、水这五行。
五行代表或作用于人体器官,即火对心,木对肝,土对脾胃,金对肺,水对。
肾。
阴阳化合而生万物,太极则代表了阴阳调和。
长期以来,世界只知道中国有指南针、火药、造纸和活字印刷四大发明。
We Chinese believe that taiji is the origin of all lives on Earth. Taiji comprises yin and yang, two types of vital energy. The five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water derive from yin and yang. These five elements correspond to, or affect, particular human organs. That is, the element of the fire corresponds to the heart, the wood to the liver, the earth to the spleen and the stomach, the metal to the lung and the water to the kidney. The combination of yin and yang gives birth to all lives on Earth. Taiji represents the harmonious state of balance between yin and yang. For a long time, the rest of the world was only aware of China's four major inventions: the compass, gunpowder, paper-making and movable-type printing.几乎很少有人知道中国已发现了经络的存在。
2017年初级翻译考试笔译训练题及答案
2017年初级翻译考试笔译训练题及答案 试题⼀: 祖国和平统⼀,乃千秋功业。
台湾终必回归祖国,早⽇解决对各⽅有利。
台湾同胞可安居乐业,两岸各族⼈民可解⾻⾁分离之痛,在台诸前辈及⼤陆去台⼈员亦可各得其所,且有利于亚太地区局势稳定和世界和平。
当今国际风云变幻莫测,台湾上下众议纷纭。
岁⽉不居,来⽇苦短,夜长梦多,时不我与。
试为贵党计,如能依时顺势,负起历史责任,毅然和谈,达成国家统⼀,则两党长期共存,互相监督,共图振兴中华之⼤业。
【参考译⽂】 The peaceful reunification of our motherland is a great cause in the interest of future generations. As Taiwan is destined to return to the motherland, the early resolution of the issue is beneficial to both sides of the Taiwan Straits. The Taiwan compatriots will live and work in peace and contentment. People on both sides will no longer suffer from being separated from their own flesh and blood. The older generation in Taiwan and those from the mainland will have proper roles to play. All this will contribute to the stability of the Asia-Pacific region and world peace.As the international situation is changing unpredictably, opinions vary among both the authorities and the general public in Taiwan. The resolution of the issue cannot be allowed to be postponed as time presses and a long delay might lead to unfavorable results. To your own benefit, you should follow the trend of our times and assume historical responsibility to participate in the negotiations for the peaceful reunification of our motherland. Thus, the two parties will be able to make concerted efforts to achieve China’s rejuvenation through long-term co-existence and mutual supervision. 试题⼆: The biggest problem of the third industrial revolution is as easy to explain as it is difficult to solve. Technology is creating a global economy that is rapidly supplanting our old national economies. National governments cannot control this new economy, yet no one, least of all Americans, wants to create the form of global government that might be able to control it. As a result we were going to be living in a fundamentally unmanaged economic system. The difficulties of containing the 1997 Asian economic meltdown are just the first of many such difficulties we can expect. National governments, which used to worry about managing and maintaining their economic systems, are slowly being pushed out of business. Changes in global finance overwhelm all but the largest governments. Governments have lost much of their influence over the movement of information and capital. They cannot control who crosses their borders either physically or culturally. Conversely, the power of global businesses is growing with companies' ability to move to the most advantageous locations and play countries off against one another in bidding for attractive investment projects. 【参考译⽂】 要理解第三次⼯业⾰命中出现的最严峻的问题并⾮难事,可是要解决它却⼗分困难。

They want to see Antonio Gaudi's church. This unusual church has a strange history. Gaudi was born in Spain in 1852. He was very poor but he wanted to be an architect. He had to work and study at the same time. He often missed classes because he had to work ——but one day he designed a very unusual show-case for anexhibition in Paris. People began to give him work. He designed houses,offices and gardens. They were all very unusual. He was soon rich and famous. Then a rich bookseller said,"Will you build a church for the poor people of Barcelona? I will pay. I will build schools and workshops,too.They will help the people.""I will do it,"said Gaudi. He worked for forty years,but he could not finish the church. It was too big. He needed £ 10,000,000. He gave all his money to the church. He was poor again when he died in 1926,and only the front of the church was finished.

They lost their way in the thick forest and asked for a man to show them the way to town. But no one wanted to help them."You will have to go through that forest," said an old man. "The road is on the other side." "Show us the way," cried the enemy officer," or we'll kill every one in the village!""I'm old," said the old man. "I may be not able to walk so far."But to himself he said, "I'll have to show them the way,but if I lead them into the thickest part of the forest, they will die there and I'll help to save my country."The old man went in front,and two hundred soldiers followed him. For many hours they moved on through the forest."Where is the road?" they cried. "We must be near the road by now.""I'm old," answered the old man. "Perhaps I have lost my way.""He wants money and give him some gold," said the soldiers. "But if he doesn't show us the way we will kill him.""We'll soon be on the road now," said the old man when he got the money. "And you will be able to go to the town."But the trees closed round them and it became darker anddarker though it was still the middle of the day. It was even harder to walk on in the heavy snow."This cannot be the road," the men said to one another,but they could do nothing but follow those in front."So," said the old man when they stopped,"you can neither go farther not turn back. You will be here and you will die here. I will never turn against my country for your gold."16. The story happened _________.(A) in Russia(B) in a city(C) in Poland(D) in the soldiers' hometown17.

The old man _______.(A) turned against his country by getting gold(B) helped to save his country(C) killed all the soldiers(D) showed the soldiers back to townQuestions 21~25There are thousands of different languages in the world. Everyone seems to think that his native language is the most important one, as it is their first language. For many people it is even their only language all their lives. But English is the world's most widely used language.As a native language,English is spoken by nearly three hundred million people, in the U.S.A.,England,Australia and some other countries.For people in India and many other countries,English is often necessary for business, education and other activities. So English is the second language there.As a foreign language,no other language is more widely studied or used than English. We used it to listen to the radio,to read books or to travel. It is also one of the working languages in the United Nations and is more used than the others.21.The native language is a person's ______ language.(A)first(B)only(C)one(D) foreign22.

As a second language, English is used in ____ ways by people all over the world.(A)one(B) two(C) three(D) fourQuestions 26~30What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like grey and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you love green, you are strong-minded. You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us. They tell us that we don't choose our favourite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact thatfactory workers work better, harder and have few accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black dark grey.Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose something in different colours.26. If you love green, ___________.(A) you feel unhappy(B) you are strong-minded(C) you are happy(D) you feel comfortable27. Factory workers will have fewer accidents when ______.(A) they work in yellow or orange rooms(B) they work harder in red coats(C) they work on the orange machines(D) they work on the black machines28. It's important for us to choose colours because ______.(A) colours do affect our feeling in many ways(B) sometimes colours will do our feeling good(C) sometimes light and bright colours make us happy(D) colours will help us to do everything well29. If you feel low, you can brighten your day __________.(A) with more things to do(B) by helping others to do everything(C) with a new shirt(D) by seeing psychologist30. According to this passage, you know four friends better _______.(A) when you find out what colours they like and dislike(B) when you stay longer with them(C) if you see them often(D) when you choose something different for themSECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes 20 points) Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in thecorresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.As late as 1800, women's only place was in the home.

But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men.Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous.

2017年初级翻译考试笔译练习题及答案
2017年初级翻译考试笔译练习题及答案试题一:人们通常喜欢听好听的话,一听到拂耳之言就容易产生不悦甚至愠怒。
一个人特别是身居要职的人要能够心悦诚服地倾听逆耳之良言并从中获得智慧,就需要一种容忍和大度的雅量,而这往往依赖于人们的心性修养和对人性缺陷的克制;否则,就会给那些善于运用花言巧语和投其所好的人提供可乘之机,并伤害那些直言不讳的忠诚之人。
在理智上,人们大概愿意接受“兼听则明,偏信则暗”、“忠言逆耳利于行”等一类古老的真理,或者乐于信服老子说的“美言不信,信言不美”的哲理。
但在行为上,人们又时常背离这些古训,不愿意听或听不进“逆耳”之言,”最终犯下严重的过失。
【参考译文】We tend to hear words pleasant to the ear but have displeasure and resentment at words harsh to the ear. A man, especially one occupying an important position, needs tolerance and magnanimity to lend an ear to truthful yet offensive words with heartfelt admiration so as to gain wisdom from them, and those qualities can be only cultivated through the nurturing of the soul and the restraint in human weaknesses. Otherwise, opportunities are exploited to the advantage of those with sweet words on the lips to tickle the ear of others, only to hurt those loyal people outspoken in their remarks.Intellectually, we are probably willing to believe in the ancient truths that we’ ll be enlightened if we listen to both sides and we will be benighted if we heed only one side, that honest advice, though unpleasant to the ear, benefits conduct. Also, we are delightfully convinced of Laotzi’s philosophy tha t true words are not embellished and the embellished words are not true. However, in our behaviours, we tend to depart from thoseestabilished maxims, reluctant to accept and follow those uncomfortable truths until eventually grave errors are committed.试题二:中国古代圣人孔子曾说过:“劳心者治人,劳力者治于人。

catti真题
catti真题2017年5月Section 1: English-ChineseTranslation (50 points) Translate the following passage into Chinese.Improved human well-being is the greatest triumph of modern era. The age of plenty has also led to an unexpected global health crisis: two billion people are either overweight or obese. Developed countries have been especially susceptible to unhealthy weight gain. However, developing countries are now facing a similar crisis. Obesity rates have peaked in high income countries but are acceleratingelsewhere. The combined findings of the World Health Organisation and the World Bank showed that in 2016 Asia was home to half the world’s overweight children. One quarter were in Africa.This crisis will test the political resolve of governments that have focused on ending hunger. Thesegovernments must understand that the factors making cities convenient and productive also make their residents prone to obesity. Urbanites enjoy a variety of culinaryoptions. International fast food chains are flourishing in developing countries. The health risks of such diets are compounded by the sedentary lifestyles of urban dwellers. People’s leisure time is also being occupied by television, movies and video games in the growing number of households.The alarming implication of these trends is that developing countries may become sick before they get rich. That sickness may, in turn, cripple health systems. The yearly health care costs in Southeast Asia ofobesity-related complications like diabetes and cardiovascular disease are already as high as US $10 billion. Such diseases are an added burden on countries already struggling to manage primary health care needs.Policies related to taxation, urban design, education and the promotion of food systems may help control obesity at a lower cost than eventual medical treatment for an increasingly overweightpopulation. Some governments have already experimented with direct interventions to control obesity, such as taxation on unhealthy foods and drinks. Thailand, Brunei,and Singapore have adopted soda tax . South Africa is likely to introduce a sugar tax beginning in April 2018. The city of Berkeley inCalifornia recognises that taxes alone are not enough to address obesity. Proceeds from the city’s sugar tax are used to support child nutrition and community health programmes. This underscores the importance of education.There is also promise in many initiatives. Urban design holds significant power to reshape lifestyle patterns and public health. Improving the attractiveness of public space can draw residents out of their cars and living rooms. A recent study of urban neighbourhoods in Shanghai and Hangzhou found that residents living in walkable neighbourhoods are healthier than residents living in less walkable neighourhoods in urban China. Finally, healthier lifestyles begin in grocery store aisles.Governments should encourage tighter connections between agricultural production systems, urban grocers and food vendors. Such initiatives can also help urban residents better understand themechanics of food sourcing. This raises awareness about the relationship between natural foods and healthy lifestyles. Combining controls on unhealthy foods with policies that incentivise healthy eating and active lifestyles is important for developing countries from both an economic and social point of view. To quote the recent Global Nutrition Report, “Reducing obesity will boost global development.”Section 2: Chinese-EnglishTranslation (50 points) Translate the following passage into English.煤炭是地球上储量最丰富的能源,但目前反对使用煤炭的声浪日益高涨。

China experienced a period of enduring impoverishment and long-standing debility in its modern history and was for a time at the mercy of other countries. Lagging behind leaves one vulnerable to attacks, which is the never-forgotten lesson the Chinese people have learnt from their tragic experience of repeated foreign invasions. A country has to strengthen itself before it can be sure of its place in the world. For over a hundred years, the Chinese people have made unremitting efforts toward the goal of rejuvenating the nation.中华人民共和国成立后,中国人民自力更生、改革开放、与时俱进,在社会主义建设中取得了举世瞩目的伟大成就。
翻译资格考试英语笔译初级模拟题:人类.doc
2019年翻译资格考试英语笔译初级模拟题:人类英译汉Human beings in all times and places think about their world and wonder at their place in it. Humans are thoughtful and creative, possessed of insatiable curiosity.Furthermore, humans have the ability to modify the environment in which they live, thus subjecting all other life forms to their own peculiar ideas and fancies. Therefore, it is important to study humans in all their richness and diversity in a calm and systematic manner, with the hope that the knowledge resulting from such studies can lead humans to a more harmonious way of living with themselves and with all other life forms on this planet Earth.Anthropology derives from the Greek words anthropos: human and logos the study of. By its very name, anthropology encompasses the study of all humankind.Anthropology is one of the social sciences.Social science is that branch of intellectual enquiry which seeks to study humans and their endeavors in the same reasoned, orderly, systematic, and dispassioned manner that natural scientists use for the study of natural phenomena.Social science disciplines include geography, economics, political science, psychology, and sociology. Each of these socialsciences has a subfield or specialization which lies particularly close to anthropology.All the social sciences focus upon the study of humanity. Anthropology is a field-study oriented discipline which makes extensive use of the comparative method in analysis.The emphasis on data gathered first-hand, combined with a cross-cultural perspective brought to the analysis of cultures past and present, makes this study a unique and distinctly important social science.Anthropological analyses rest heavily upon the concept of culture. Sir Edward Tylors formulation of the concept of culture was one of the great intellectual achievements of 19th century science.Tylor defined culture as that complex whole which includes belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. This insight, so profound in its simplicity, opened up an entirely new way of perceiving and understanding human life. Implicit within Tylors definition is the concept that culture is learned. shared, and patterned behavior.Thus, the anthropological concept of culture, like the concept of set in mathematics, is an abstract concept which makes possible immense amounts of concrete research and understanding.参考译文人类无时无地不在探究他们所居住的这个世界,并且惊叹于他们所处的地方。

2017年catti英语笔译初级模拟题:人类正在加速进化
【汉译英】
人类正在加速进化
如今世界很多地方的人们都有充足的食物,生存繁殖比以往任何时候都更为容易,所以很容易以为人类已经停止了进化。
但是一项颇具争议的新研究结果却不这么认为。
据其分析,人类的进化速度非但不曾放缓,相反,在过去4万年里加快了速度,过去5000年更是加快了100倍。
这意味着尽管有些人游走异乡,与异族人通婚,但各大洲大多数人正在变得越来越不同,他们的基因并没有越来越同质化。
1800个人类基因已加快了进化,占人类基因组的7%。
大多数基因突变都因人口猛增而产生。
人口增长时,基因突变也会增加,这就提升了产生有益的基因变体的机会,这种有益的基因变体将提升人类的生存能力,并在整个人群中传播(这和大群昆虫制造抗杀虫剂的基因的速度比小群快是同样道理)。
研究人员没有破译大部分进化的基因,但他们说其中很多似乎都是应对人类饮食变化,和人类农垦初期曾肆虐过的中毒疾病卷土重来的结果。
有些基因突变使成人能够消化淀粉、脂肪酸和牛奶中的乳糖。
还有些增强了人类抵御疟疾、爱滋病和黄热病等疾病的能力。
【参考译文】
Human Evolution Is Speeding Up
Plentiful food has made it easier than ever before to survive and reproduce in many parts of the world, so it's tempting to think that our species has stopped evolving. But a controversial new study says that isn't so .Far from slowing down, human evolution has sped up in the past 40,000 years and has become 100 times faster in the past 5,000 years alone, according to the analysis. This means that even though some people have been globe-trotters who interbreed, most humans on different continents are becoming more different, rather than blending together into one genetically homogenous race.
Evolution has accelerated in 1800 human genes, which encompass about 70/o of the human genome. Most of the mutations resulted from dramatic population booms. As populations expand, the number of mutations increases, boosting the chances for a beneficial genetic variant that can improve survival and sweep through
a population (in the same way that a large population of insects develops a gene for resistance to a pesticide faster than a small population).
Although the researchers don't know the identity of most of the genes, they say quite a few appear to be responses to changes in diet and a new wave of virulent diseases that swept through human populations as they began farming. Some mutations allow adults to digest starch, fatty acids, and lactose in milk. Others improve the resistance to diseases, such as malaria, AIDS, and yellow fever.。
