CATTI三级笔译实务全部试题真题及答案汇总2017年5月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷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 accelerating elsewhere. The combined findings of the World Health Organisation and the World Bank showed that in 2016 Asia was home to half the world’s overw eight children. One quarter were in Africa.This crisis will test the political resolve of governments that have focused on ending hunger. These governments must understand that the factors making cities convenient and productive also make their residents prone to obesity. Urbanites enjoy a variety of culinary options. 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 a lso 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 of obesity-related complications like diabetesand 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 overweight population. 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 in California 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 the mechanics 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 isimportant 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。

2017年下半年CATTI英语三级笔译实务真题(总分:100.00,做题时间:180分钟)一、汉译英(总题数:1,分数:50.00)汉译英气候变化已不是单纯的环境保护问题,而成为人类生存与发展问题。

中国需要改变以煤为主的能源结构和高污染、高能耗的产业结构,以治理环境和应对全球气候变化。

同时,积极应对气候变化也是中国参与全球治理的责任,也是实现可持续发展的迫切需要。

中国作为世界最大的发展中国家,需要积极推动经济与能源的转型,以推动全球可持续发展。

长期以来,中国高度重视气候变化问题,把积极应对气候变化作为国家经济社会发展的重大战略,把绿色低碳发展作为生态文明建设的重要内容,采取了一系列行动,为应对全球气候变化作出了重要贡献。

2009年向国际社会宣布:到2020年单位国内生产总值二氧化碳排放比2005年下降40%-45%,非化石能源占一次能源消费比重达到15%左右,森林面积比2005年增加4000万公顷,森林蓄积量比2005年增加13亿立方米。

中国还将继续主动适应气候变化,在农业、林业、水资源等重点领域和城市、沿海、生态脆弱地区形成有效抵御气候变化风险的机制和能力,逐步完善预测预警和防灾减灾体系。

(分数:50.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(To address climate change, more than an environmental protection issue, but one of subsistence and development of mankind, it is imperative for China to change its carbon-oriented energy mix and the industrial structure featuring heavy pollution and high energy consumption, in an attempt to govern the environment and address global climate change. Meanwhile, it’s both an international duty for China to take a positive approach in combating climate change and an urgent need to render sustainable development a reality. As the largest developing around the globe, China is impelled to spur the transformation of economy and energy, thereby promoting global sustainable development.China attaches great importance to addressing climate change since long, making it a significant national strategy for its social and economic development and promoting green and low-carbon development as important component of the ecological civilization process. It has already taken a series of climate actions which represent a significant contribution to combating the global climate change.In 2009, China announced internationally that by 2020 it will lower carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40% to 45% from the 2005 level, increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to about 15% and increase the forested area by 40 million hectares and the forest stock volume by 1.3 billion cubic meters compared to the 2005 levels.China will continue to proactively adapt to climate change by enhancing mechanisms and capacities to effectively defend against climate change risks in key areas such as agriculture, forestry and water resources, as well as in cities, coastal and ecologically vulnerable areas and to progressively strengthen early warning and emergency response systems and disaster prevention and reduction mechanisms.)解析:二、英译汉(总题数:1,分数:50.00)英译汉It was just one word in one email, but it triggered huge financial losses for a multinational company.The message, written in English, was sent by a native speaker to a colleague for whom English was a second language. Unsure of the word, the recipient found two contradictory meanings in his dictionary. He acted on the wrong one.Months later, senior management investigated why the project had flopped, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. “It all traced back to this one word,” says Chia Suan Chong, a UK-based communications skills and intercultural trainer, who didn't reveal the tricky word because it is highly industry-specific and possibly identifiable. “Things spiralled out of control because both parties were thinking the opposite.”When such misunderstandings happen, it’s usually the native speakers who are to blame. Ironically, they are worse at delivering their message than people who speak English as a second or third language, according to Chong.A lot of native speakers are happy that English has become the world’s glo bal language. They feel they don’t have to spend time learning another language,” says Chong.The non-native speakers, it turns out, speak more purposefully and carefully, typical of someone speaking a second or third language. Anglophones, on the other hand, often talk too fast for others to follow, and use jokes, slang and references specific to their own culture, says Chong.“The native English speaker is the only one who might not feel the need to accommodate or adapt to the others,” she adds.With non-native English speakers in the majority worldwide, it’s Anglophones who may need to up their game.“Native speakers are at a disadvantage when you are in a lingua franca situation,” where English is being used as a common denominator, says Jennifer Jenkins, professor of global Englishes at the UK’s University of Southampton. “It’s the native English speakers that are having difficulty understanding and making themselves understood.”Non-native speakers generally use more limited vocabulary and simpler expressions, without flowery language or slang. And then there’s cultural style, Blattner says. When a Brit reacts to a proposal by saying, “That’s interesting” a fellow Brit might recog nise this as understatement for, “That’s rubbish.” But other nationalities would take the word “interesting” on face value, he says.“English speakers with no other language often have a lack of awareness of how to speak English internationally.”In Berlin, Coulter saw German staff of a Fortune 500 company being briefed from their Californian HQ via video link. Despite being competent in English, the Germans gleaned only the gist of what their American project leader said. So among themselves they came up with an agreed version, which might or might not have been what was intended by the California staff.“Too many non-Anglophones, especially the Asians and the French, are too concerned about not ‘losing face’ — and nod approvingly while not getting the mess age at all,” he says.That’s why Nerriere devised Globish —a distilled form of English, stripped down to 1,500 words and simple but standard grammar. “It’s not a language, it’s a tool,” he says. Since launching Globish in 2004 he’s sold more than 200,000 Globish text books in 18 languages.“If you can communicate efficiently with limited, simple language you save time, avoid misinterpretation and you don’t have errors in communication,” Nerriere says.When trying to communicate in English with a group of p eople with varying levels of fluency, it’s important to be receptive and adaptable, tuning your ears into a whole range of different ways of using English, Jenkins says.“People who’ve learned other languages are good at doing that, but native speakers of English generally are monolingual and not very good at tuning in to language variation,” she says.In meetings, Anglophones tend to speed along at what they consider a normal pace, and also rush to fill gaps in conversation, according to Steggles.He recommends making the same point in a couple of different ways and asking for some acknowledgement, reaction or action.(分数:50.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:(邮件里的一个小小单词,却导致一家跨国公司蒙受了巨额经济损失。

考试感想:综合:可以看出我两次综合成绩都不高,大部分人都会上70,80+的也大有人在,所以我这个综合可以说是非常差了。

这里总结教训就是三个字:背单词!!!我之前是个不爱背单词的人,一般都凭着平时多看,然后看熟了自然就记住了,这种方法应对高考还有四六级什么的问题都不大,但是去年底考三笔的时候,我看着综合卷子真的欲哭无泪,选择题有几道中四个选项我一个都不认识,或者是眼熟但是搞不清意思,这就跟不认识是一样的。

所以去年底考完三笔我痛下决心,当天晚上就开始背单词。

背单词这事我是真的不喜欢,所以没有买单词书,因为我知道我买了肯定也不看,所以就下了APP背单词。

我曾经用过拓词,感觉界面很简洁,非常不错,后来开始用百词斩,算是比较有特色的APP,也还不错。

Section 1: English-Chinese translation(英译汉)(50points)Passage 1This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It also seeks to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom. We recognize that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.We are resolved to free the human race from the alleviation of poverty and heal and protect our planet. We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path.The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets which we are announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda. They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what these did not achieve. They seek to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental.We are meeting at a time of immense challenges to sustainable development. Billions of our citizens continue to live in poverty and are denied a life of dignity. There are rising inequalities within and among countries. Gender inequality remains a key challenge. Unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, is a major concern. Global health threats, more frequent and intense natural disasters, spiraling conflict, violent extremism, terrorism and related humanitarian crises and forced displacement of people threaten to reverse much of the development progress made in recent decades. Natural resource depletion and adverse impacts of environmental degradation, including desertification, drought, landed gradation, freshwater scarcity and loss of biodiversity, add to and exacerbate the list of challenges which humanity faces. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and its adverse impacts undermine the ability of all countries to achieve sustainable development.The Millennium Development Goals agreed 15years ago provided an important framework for development and significant progress has been made in a number ofareas. But the progress has been uneven, particularly in Africa, least developed countries, landlocked developing countries, and small island developing States, and some of the Millennium Development Goals remain off-track, in particular those related to maternal, newborn and child health and to reproductive health. We recommit ourselves to the full realization of all the Millennium Development Goals, including the off-track Millennium Development Goals, in particular by providing focused and scaled-up assistance to least developed countries and other countries in special situations, in line with relevant support programs. The new Agenda builds on the Millennium Development Goals and seeks to complete what these did not achieve, particularly in reaching the most vulnerable countries.Passage 2Entrepreneurs in Silicon V alley, only half-jokingly, call it the URL strategy. The three letters usually stand for Uniform Resource Locator—the unique address of any file that is accessible via the internet. But in the world of internet start-ups, URL has another meaning: Ubiquity first, Revenue Later. This pretty much describes the strategy of most big online social networks, which over the past few years have concentrated on piling on users rather than worrying about profits. That has allowed them to build huge followings, but it has also raised a big question-mark over their ability to make money from the audiences they have put together. And the issue is whether the social-networking industry can come up with a wildly successful form of advertising in the same way that Google has been able to make billions of dollars from the targeted ads that run alongside the search results it serves up. Without such a formula, runs the argument, social networks such as Facebook will never amount to much. Doubters claim that the networks face two big handicaps. The first is that people logged into social-networking sites are there to hang out with their friends, so they will pay no attention to ads. The second is that because the sites let users generate their own content, they will find it hard to attract advertisers because brands will not want to take the risk of appearing alongside examples of profanity,obscenity or nudity—or all three at once.But the broader outlook for networking sites is more encouraging. One reason is that advertisers are being drawn to the leading sites by their sheer scale. Facebook's audience is bigger than any TV network that has ever existed on the face of the earth. Another thing that has attracted companies is the networks' ability to target ads with laser-like precision, thanks to the data they hold on their users' ages, gender, interests and so forth. Although there are still lingering concerns about brands appearing next to racy content, firms seem more willing to run this risk now that the networks' advertising proposition has become more compelling.。

四、CATTI考试英译汉译文处理简要提示第一段原文: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.分析:第一句话是由all引出的一个主语从句。

该句理解难点在于中间插入了when引导的时间状语从句,可能与考生以往见到的状语从句位置不同。

“the seemingly unremarkable building”意为:“这座似乎不起眼的建筑”。

第三句“Sewage kept backing up.”其中back up为高频动词短语,具有多义性,分别为“支持”、“备份”、“倒退”、“援助”、“堵塞”等多种义项,(其近义词可以有corroborate, substantiate, reinforce, copy, dupilicate, reverse, go backward, recede, congest等等),但根据上下文不难理解该句指“下水道一直堵塞”。

CATTI三级笔译实务(附答案)

CATTI三级笔译实务Section1: English-Chinese translationThe importance of agriculture cannot be overstated. More than 50 percent of the world’s labor force is employed in agriculture. The distribution in the early 1980s ranged from 67 percent of those employed in Africa to less than 5 percent in North America. In Western Europe, the figure was about 16 percent; in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, about 32 percent; and in Asia, about 68 percent.Farm size varies widely from region to region. Recently the average for Canadian farms was about 186 ha (about 460 acres) per farm, and for U.S. farms, about 175 ha (about 432 acres). The average size of a single landholding in the Philippines, however, may be somewhat less than 3.6 ha (less than 9 acres), and in Indonesia, a little less than 1.2 ha (less than 3 acres).Size also depends on the purpose of the farm. Commercial farming, or production for cash, is usually done on large holding. The plantations of Latin America are large, privately owned estates worked by tenant labor. Single-crop plantations produce tea, rubber, cocoa. Wheat farms are most efficient when they comprise some thousands of hectares and can be worked by teams of people and machines. Australian sheep stations and other livestock farms must be large to provide grazing for thousands of animals.Individual subsistence farms or small-family mixed-farm operations are decreasing in number in developed countries but are still numerous in the developing countries of Africa and Asia. A “back-to-the-land” movement in the U.S. reversed the decline of small farms in New England and Alaska in the decade from 1970 to 1980.The conditions that determine what will be raised in an area include climate, water supply, and terrain.Over the 10,000 years since agriculture began to be developed, peoples everywhere have discovered the food value of wild plants and animals and domesticated and bred them. The most important are cereals such as wheat, rice, barley, corn and rye.Agricultural income is also derived from non-food crops such as rubber, fiber plants, tobacco, and oilseeds used in synthetic chemical compounds. Money is also derived from raising animals for pelt.Much of the foreign exchange earned by a country may be derived from a single commodity; for example, Sri Lanka depends on tea, Denmark specializes in dairy products, Australia in wool, and New England in meat products. In the U.S., wheat has become a major foreign exchange commodity in recent years.The importance of an individual country as an exporter of agricultural products depends on many variables. Among them is the possibility that the county is too little developed industrially to produce manufactured goods in sufficient quantity or technical sophistication. Such agricultural exporters include Ghana with cocoa, and Myanmar with rice. On the other hand, an exceptionally well-developed country may produce surpluses not needed by its own population; this as been true of the U.S., Canada, and some of the West European countries.Section2: Chinese-English translation由于西藏地处“世界屋脊”,自然条件恶劣,也由于几百年落后的封建农奴制社会形成的各种社会历史条件内的限制,西藏在全国还属于不发达地区。

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理2017年CATTI英语三级《笔译实务》真题及答案,希望对正在关注的您有所帮助!Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.For generations, coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretch of eastern Utah. 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.”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.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.“There are a lot of people worried,” said Kyle Davis, who has been employed at the plant since he was 18.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 April 2015.For the last several years, coal plants have been shutting down across the country, driven by tougher environmental regulations, flattening electricity demand and a move by utilities toward natural gas.The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the stricter emissions regulations for the plants will result in billions of dollars in related health savings, and will have a sweeping impact on air quality.“Coal plants are the single largest source of dangerous carbon pollution in the United States, and we have ready alternatives like wind and solar to replace them,” said Bruce Nilles, director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign, which wants to shut all of the nation’s coal plan ts.For many here, coal jobs are all they know. The industry united the area during hard times, too, especially during the dark days after nine men died in a 2007 mining accident some 35 miles down the highway. Virtually everyone around Price knew the men, six of whom remain entombed in the mountainside.But there is quiet acknowledgment that Carbon County will have to change — if not now, soon.Pete Palacios, who worked in the mines for 43 years, has seen coal roar and fade here. Now 86, his eyes grew cloudy as he recalled his first mining job. He was 12, and earned $1 a day. “I’m retired, so I’ll be fine. But these young guys?” Pete Palacios said, his voice trailing off.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into English.天柱县位于贵州省东部,是川渝黔通往两广、江浙的重要门户。

2017年5月 CATTI三笔-实务

2017年5月 CATTI三笔-实务

由上表可以看出中国《政府工作报告》以及《中国政府工作白皮书》是汉译英的重要题源,而且以5月份考查居多,涉及《政府工作报告》中涵盖的政治政策、经济贸易、军事外交、文化交流、农业生产、医疗民生等热点话题。

一个新趋势是关于公司、机构的简介翻译占有了不小的比重。

此外,关于能源、气候等话题也会散见于11月份的考题之中。

由上述数据可以发现汉译英考题的简单规律和趋势:☆第一、考查中国社会热点话题。

比如“中国梦”、“世博会”,再加上二笔中考查过的“二十国集团领导人杭州峰会”等,我们可以预想刚刚结束的“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛圆桌峰会,及峰会公报都必须被重点关注。

☆第二、多考大会发言,特别是外国领导人来访中国,国家领导对其做的有关我国社会、政治、经济、文化、外交政策和特点解读的会谈。

这是因为,当前我国正在经历新的崛起,中国文化需要走出去,特别是“一带一路”国策的提出和实施都需要中国和其他国家的交流,建立相互的理解和信任。

与此同时,大量外国国家领导、经济组织、社会团体、国际友人等都对中国有了更多和更密切的关注。

因此外国人看中国文化,中国人讲述中国故事会始终持续。

☆第三、多考中国政策和特色。

除了会议中有关中国政策的解读,中国特色文化也是经常被外宣的话题,比如春节、兵马俑、中国香港问题,甚至包括京剧、剪纸等中国特色文化,需要引起适当关注。

☆第四、多考国际会议中的公共议题。

国际会议上的中国声音多涉及全球公共话题,比如气候、环境、能源、艾滋病、现代科学技术发展与应用等。

此外东盟事务、亚洲的价值、繁荣与发展也会受到一定关注。

☆第一,英美国家历史文化、人物事件、文化事件;☆第二,英美国家社会问题,如移民、交通、种族等;第三,环境问题、能源问题、资源问题等。

而且环境能源问题有循环重复考察的趋势,应引起考生极大重视。

选题来源也主要以英美流行刊物为主,因此建议考生应经常性浏览阅读相关刊物。

就语言本身的复习而言,加强基础语法学习、完成英语专业四级词汇或大学英语四六级核心词汇学习就基本可以从容应对,真正考察的则是学生在理解英文后如何在规定时间内将自己理解到的信息用准确、流畅、简洁、地道的中文进行表达的能力。

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 cabbageand 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 sampl eIndian chaat.Welcome to Beaverton, a Portland suburb that is home to Oregon’s fastest growing immigrantpopulation. Once a rural community, Beaverton, population 87,000, is now the sixth largestcity 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 19thcentury, 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’spopulation of Latinos and Asians was less than 0.3 percent. By 2000, Beaverton had proportionately more Asian and Hispanic residents than the Portland metro area. Today, Asians comprise 10 percent and Hispanics 11 percent of Beaverton’s population.Mayor Denny Doyle says that many in Beaverton view the immigrants who are rapidly reshaping Beaverton as a source of enrichment. “Citizens here especially in the arts and culture community think it’s fantastic that we have all these different possibilities here,” he says.Gloria Vargas, 50, a Salvadoran immigrant, owns a popular small restaurant, Gloria’s SecretCafé, in downtown Beaverton. “I love Beaverton,” she says. “I feel like I belong here.” Hermother moved her to Los Angeles as a teenager in 1973, and she moved Oregon in 1979. Shelanded a coveted vendor spot in the Beaverton Farmers Market in 1999. Now in addition to running her restaurant, she has one of the most popular stalls there, selling up to 200Salvadoran tamales — wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks —each Saturday. “Once they buy my food, they always come back for more,” she says.中国是一个发展中国家。

2017下半年CATTI三级英译汉试题详解

2017下半年CATTI三级英译汉试题详解2017下半年CATTI三级汉译英试题2017下半年笔译二级真题解析英译汉第一篇:本篇文章,充分体现母语作者轻松随意表述自然的特点,英文原句结构简单,用词难度一般。

但是处理成文体、选词和表达各方面恰当得体的汉语,需要一定的思考和调整.2017下半年笔译二级真题解析(汉译英第一篇)第二段来源:李克强在联合国粮农组织的演讲,内容比较平实,掌握起来不算困难。

中国家,任何时候都是维护世界粮食安全的积极力量。

尽管中国农业进一步发展面临不少困难,但我们仍将不懈努力,用行动来兑现诺言,主要依靠自己的力量解决好吃饭问题。

我们愿与世界各国携手奋进,共同创造一个无饥饿、无贫困、可持续发展的世界。

“兑现诺言”除了句子里的译法,也可以用honor our commitment.不懈努力也可以译为 “work industriously.” 无饥饿、无贫困:用free from 来说显得比较地道。

要依靠自己的力量解决好吃饭问题。

这种比喻比较生动的说法,最好不要直译,转为“保证充足的食物供应。

” 本句参考译文:As the largest developing country, China will always bean active force for safeguarding world food security.Although China faces quite a few difficulties ahead in itsagricultural development, we will continue to worktirelessly to deliver on our commitment through actions.We will ensure adequate food supply mainly on our own.We are ready to work with countries around the world tocreate a world of sustainable development that is freefrom hunger and poverty.。

四、CATTI考试英译汉译文处理简要提示第一段原文: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.分析:第一句话是由all引出的一个主语从句。

该句理解难点在于中间插入了when引导的时间状语从句,可能与考生以往见到的状语从句位置不同。

“the seemingly unremarkable building”意为:“这座似乎不起眼的建筑”。

第三句“Sewage kept backing up.”其中back up为高频动词短语,具有多义性,分别为“支持”、“备份”、“倒退”、“援助”、“堵塞”等多种义项,(其近义词可以有corroborate, substantiate, reinforce, copy, dupilicate, reverse, go backward, recede, congest等等),但根据上下文不难理解该句指“下水道一直堵塞”。

enlist sb. to do sth指招募某人做某事。

后面的语句十分简单。

本段建议译文如下:卢西亚诺•法贾诺(Luciano Faggiano)当初买下位于阿斯卡尼奥格兰迪街56号(56 Via Ascanio Grandi)这栋似乎不起眼的房子只是为了开家餐馆。

房子只有一个问题,那就是厕所的下水道老不通。

因此,法贾诺先生招来他的两个儿子帮忙挖沟,一查究竟。

他预计这项工作会用一个星期完成。

现年60岁的法贾诺说:“我们发现了一些地下走廊和其他一些房间,于是我们就一直挖下去。

”法贾诺这项寻找下水道的工作,始于2000年,最后演变成了一个关于探索发现的家庭的传奇故事。

第二段原文: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. A project to build a shopping mall had to be redesigned after the discovery of an ancient Roman temple beneath the site of a planned parking lot.分析:本段中critical表示“关键的,重要的”;“turn up”为高频动词短语,此处语义确切,表示“出现”;on a regular basis字面意思是“在有规律的基础上”,不符合汉语表达习惯,结合前面的动词短语turn up,可转换成“有规律地出现、经常性地出现”;parking lot指“停车场”。

整段建议译文如下:莱切(Lecce)曾经是地中海地区一个重要的汇集地。

该城市一位市议会议员塞维洛•马尔蒂尼(Severo Martini)说在这里经常发现考古遗迹,不过这让城市规划者非常头疼。

一个拟建的购物中心项目在规划的停车场下面发现一座古罗马庙宇之后不得不重新规划。

第三段原文:One week quickly passed, as father and sons discovered a tomb of the Messapians, who lived in the region centuries before the birth of Jesus. Soon, the family discovered a chamber used to store grain by the ancient Romans.分析:the Messapians 和theancient Romans要分别翻译成“麦撒比人”和“古罗马人”;chamber表示“房间”。

整段句法简单,可以翻译如下:一个星期很快过去了,父子三人发现了一个麦撒比人墓。

在耶稣降世前几百年前,麦撒比人就在这个地区生活了。

很快,他们又发现了一个古罗马人储存粮食的房间。

第四段原文:If this history only later became clear, what was immediately obvious was that finding the pipe would be a much bigger project than Mr. Faggiano had anticipated. He did not initially tell his wife about the extent of the work. He tied a rope around the chest of his youngest son, Davide, then 12, and lowered him to dig in small, darkened openings. “I made sure to tell him not to tell his mama,” he said. His wife, , soon became suspicious. “We had all these dirty clothes, every day,” she said. “I didn’t understand what was going on.分析:第一句话由一个假设条件句、一个主语从句、一个表语从句和一个比较结构组成,稍显复杂,其他句子都是简单句。

难词不多,initially表示“起初”;openings 表示“孔洞,通道”;suspicious表示“怀疑的”。

建议段落译文如下:如果知道这段历史,法贾诺就会立刻明白找寻管道这件事工程量之大远远超出了自己的预计。

法贾诺最初没有告诉妻子会有多大工作量。

他在当时12岁的小儿子戴维德(Davide)胸部系好绳索,把他放下去,在狭窄昏暗的通道中进行挖掘。

他说:“我得确保不能让孩子把这件事告诉他妈。

”但是他的妻子安娜•玛利亚•萨诺(Anna Maria Sanò)不久就起了疑心。

“每天都有脏衣服。

”她说,“我不知道他们都在做什么。

第五段原文:After watching the Faggiano men haul away debris in the back seat of the family car, neighbors also became suspicious and notified the authorities. Investigators arrived and shut down the excavations, warning Mr. Faggiano against operating an unapproved archaeological work site. Mr. Faggiano responded that he was just looking for a sewage pipe.分析:本段主要是几个单词语义的理解。

Haul表示“托,拉”;debris表示“碎片、残渣”,需要注意该词读音的特殊性,词尾“s”不发音;notify表示“通知、告知”;excavation表示“挖掘”;unapproved表示“未经批准的”。

全段建议译文如下:“看到法贾诺一家人从家用轿车后座拖出残渣,邻居们也心生疑惑,便告知了当局。

于是就有调查人员到来,关停了挖掘工作,并且警告法贾诺不许未得批准就在考古工作现场作业。

法贾诺回应说他只是在找水管。

”第六段原文:A year passed. Finally, Mr. Faggiano was allowed to resume his pursuit of the sewage pipe on condition that heritage officials observed the work. An underground treasure house emerged, as the family uncovered ancient vases, Roman devotional bottles, an ancient ring with Christian symbols, medieval artifacts, hidden frescoes and more. Today, the building is Museum Faggiano, an independent archaeological museum authorized by the Lecce government.分析:本段中专业性词汇增多,稍有难度的是devotional,表示“宗教的,用于祈祷的”,该词在大学英语范围内出现频率较低,可能难以被考生直接识解。

Fresco 指“墙壁灰泥未干时的绘画”,属于纯专业性术语,可以译为“湿壁画”或减译为“壁画”。

此外,本段还出现了一些大学期间的高频核心词汇,如resume, pursuit, on condition that, heritage, emerge, medieval, independent, authorize等。

从句法上看,第二句话稍显复杂。

其中as引导的从句,做时间状语,可以译为“随着一家人发现了古代花瓶,……,一座地下宝库出现了”,也可以把as引导的从属成分与主句译为并列句,如“一座地下宝库映入眼帘:他们发现了古代花瓶,……”。
