I would like to extend my greetings to you, Mr. President and to all the distinguished guests and delegates here today.

[TONE] // [TONE]As a Special Representative of the Secretary-General to the Conference on Disarmament, I am very much encouraged by the many strides made towards the total eradication of anti-personnel mines which provide us with a good example fordisarmament efforts in all directions. The opening of the International Center for demining here in Geneva in 1996 and the entering into force of the Mine-Ban Convention in March 1999 are a few of the milestones which merit special mention.

After you have heard each sentence, translate it into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Passage Translation56、Our challenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our Success depends hard workand honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism--these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demandedthen is a return to these truths.57、Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown outyour own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to followyour heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly wantto become. Everything else is secondary.SECTION 2: STUDA SKILLSLike many people, I've always seen the Olympics as the "main" sporting event held every four years—the headline act—and theParalyrnpics as something of an "add-on"—the supporting act.It you are not disabled yourself it is hard to understand some of the games and the athletes mobility problems.But being in the host city for these Paralympics changed my perspective.I came to realize these athletes were nothing short of superheroes. Deprived of physical abilities that able-bodied people take for granted, they made up for them and then some. They tested their senses and the boundaries of physical ability to extremes that the Bolts and Phelpsesof this world would never have to.If some Olympic runners had to undergo a double-amputation, I wonder if they would strap two carbon fiber blades to their knees like Oscar Pistorius, also known as Blade Runner, of South Africa, and relearn everything that once came naturally.If some Olympic swimming heroes suddenly went blind, would they havethe courage to still surge through the water like Donovan Tildesley, not knowing when they would reach the end of the pool? Would any of us have the guts to turn around a life-changing experience like a car crash or bad rugby scrum. And not only get our lives back on track but thenstrive to be the best at a sport?"What Paralympic sport would you do if you were disabled?"was a water-cooler question I posed today. It's not something you would normally think about. You don't watch TV as a kid aspiring to be a Paralympian. But it takes more than early mornings, training programsand special diets to get to the Paralympics. It takes a tragedy or loss that will have been grieved over, worked through and overcome.Skiing is terrifying enough if you have all your faculties. Standing at the top of a ski slope, it's a battle of wills for most people to launch themselves, but Canada's Donovan Tildesley, who has been blind frombirth, revealed to a China Daily reporter that not only did he already ski, but he also wanted to take it up competitively.Superheroes indeed, each and every one. The Paralympics should be renamed the "Superlympics". It's nothing to do with the equality denoted by the Greek "para", it's about"super" ability, courage and strength that most of us, the top able-bodied athletes of the world included, will never have to muster.It's worth remembering that many Paralympians suffered horrificinjuries while living life to the full. You don't get paralyzed sitting at home playing video games. And having lived life to the full they are not prepared to stop. That's the lesser talked about "Paralympic spirit".I only hope that if life dealt me or my loved ones similar blows we would tackle them in the same way as these outstanding men and women.58、 What does the author think of Paralympic athletes?A. They are more than heroes.B. They are unsung heroes.C. They are second only to superheroes.D. They are able-bodied superheroes.59、 By saying "... and then some" (para. 2), the author means that ______.A. Paralympic athletes made up for some physical abilitiesB. not all Paralympic athletes were able to make up for physicalabilitiesC. there are some abilities that disabled athletes cannot make up forD. there are some other abilities besides what has been made up for60、 What does the author imply in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A. Some Olympic stars will turn into Paralympic competitors whendisable&B. Olympic stars' career will come to a natural end when they are disabled.C. It takes more guts to be Paralympic athletes than Olympic athletes.D. It is anybody's guess whether Olympic stars will strive to be the best at sports.61、 The word "faculties" (para. 6) is closest in meaning toA. facilitiesB. abilitiesC. handicapsD. adversities62、 According to the author, what should be learned from Paralympic athletes?A. Rising above their physical disabilities.B. Coming to terms with what they suffer.C. Playing video games to live life to the full.D. Working their way through sporting competitions.Recent years have brought minority-owned businesses in the UnitedStates unprecedented opportunities as well as new and significant risks. Civil rights activists have long argued that one of the principal reasons why Blacks, Hispanics, and other minority groups have difficulty establishing themselves in business is that they lack access to the sizable orders and subcontracts that are generated by large companies. Now Congress, in apparent agreement, has required by law that businesses awarded federal contracts of more than $ 500, 000 do their best to find minority subcontractors and record their efforts to do so on forms filed with the government. Indeed, (some federal and local agencies) have gone so far as to set specific percentage goals for apportioning part of public works contracts to minority enterprises.Corporate response appears to have been substantial. (According to figures collected in 1977, the total of corporate contracts withminority businesses rose from $ 77 million in 1972 to $1.1 billion in1977. ) The projected total of corporate contracts with minority businesses for the early 1980s is estimated to be over $ 3 billion per year with no letup anticipated in the next decade.Promising as it is for minority businesses, this increased patronage poses dangers for them, too. First, minority firms risk expanding too fast and overextending themselves financially, since most are small concerns and, unlike large businesses, they often need to make substantial investments in new plants, staff, equipment, and the like in order to perform work subcontracted to them. If, thereafter, their subcontracts are for some reason reduced, such firms can facepotentially crippling fixed expenses. The world of corporate purchasing can be frustrating for small entrepreneurs who get requests forelaborate formal estimates and bids. Both consume valuable time and resources, and a small company's efforts must soon result in orders, or both the morale and the financial health of the business will suffer.A second risk is that White-owned companies may seek to cash in on the increasing apportionments through formation of joint ventures with minority-owned concerns. Of course, in many instances there are legitimate reasons for joint ventures; clearly, White and minority enterprises can team up to acquire business that neither could acquire alone. But civil rights groups and minority business owners have complained to Congress about minorities being set up as"fronts" with White backing, rather than being accepted asfull partners in legitimate joint ventures.Third, a minority enterprise that secures the business of one large corporate customer often run the danger of becoming and remaining dependent. Even in the best of circumstances, fierce competition from larger, more established companies makes it difficult for small concerns to broaden their customer bases: when such firms have nearly guaranteed orders from a single corporate benefactor, they may truly have to struggle against complacency arising from their current success.63、 The primary purpose of the passage is to ______.A. present a commonplace idea and its inaccuraciesB. describe a situation and its potential drawbacksC. propose a temporary solution to a problemD. analyze a frequent source of disagreement64、 The passage supplies information that would answer which of the following questions? ______A. Why federal agencies have set percentage goals for the use of minority-owned businesses in public works contracts?B. To which government agencies must businesses awarded federal contracts report their efforts to find minority subcontractors?C. How widespread is the use of minority-owned concerns as"fronts" by White backers seeking to obtain subcontracts?D. What is one set of conditions under which a small business mightfind itself financially overextended?65、 According to the passage, civil rights activist maintain that one disadvantage under which minority-owned businesses have traditionally had to labor is that they have ______.A. not had sufficient opportunity to secure business created by large corporationsB. been especially vulnerable to government mismanagement of the economyC. been denied bank loans at rates comparable to those afforded larger competitorsD. not been able to advertise in those media that reach large numbersof potential customers66、 The author implies that a minority-owned concern that does the greater part of its business with one large corporate customer should______.A. avoid competition with larger, more established concerns by not expandingB. concentrate on securing even more business from that corporationC. try to expand its customer base to avoid becoming dependent on the corporationD. use its influence with the corporation to promote subcontractingwith other minority concerns67、 The author would most likely agree with which of the following statements about corporate response to working with minority subcontractors? ______A. Annoyed by the proliferation of "front" organizations, corporations are likely to reduce their efforts to work with minority-owned subcontractors in the near future.B. Although corporations showed considerable interest in working with minority businesses in the 1970's, their aversion to government paperwork made them reluctant to pursue many government contracts.C. The significant response of corporations in the t970's is likely to be sustained and conceivably be increased throughout the 1980's.D. Although corporations are eager to cooperate with minority-owned businesses, a shortage of capital in the 1970's made substantial response impossible.It looks unlikely that medical science will abolish the process of ageing. But it no longer looks impossible."In the long run," as John Maynard Keynes observed, "we are all dead." True. But can the short run be elongated in a way that makes the long run longer? And if so, how, and at what cost? People have dreamt of immorality since ancient times. Now, with the growth of biological knowledge that has marked the past few decades, a few researchers believe it might be within reach.To think about the question, it is important to understand why organisms — people included —age in the first place. People are like machines, they wear out. That much is obvious. However, a machine can always be repaired. A good mechanic with a stock of spare parts can keep it going indefinitely. Eventually, no part of the original may remain, but it still carries on, like Lincoln's famous axe that had three new handles and two new blades.The question, of course, is whether the machine is worth repairing. It is here that people and nature disagree. Or, to put it slightly differently, two bits of nature disagree with each other. From the individual's point of view, survival is an imperative. A fear of deathis a sensible evolved response and, since ageing is a sure way of dying, it is no surprise that people want to stop it in its tracks. Moreover, even the appearance of ageing can be harmful. It reduces the range of potential sexual partners who find you attractive and thus, again, curbs your reproduction.The paradox is that the individual's evolved desire not to age is opposed by another evolutionary force, the disposable soma. The soma is all of a body's cells apart from the sex cells. The soma's role is to get those sex cells, and thus the organism's genes, into the next generation. If the soma is a chicken, then it really is just an egg'sway of making another egg. And if evolutionary logic requires the somato age and die in order for this to happen, so be it. Which is a pity,for evolutionary logic does, indeed, seem to require that.The argument is this. All organisms are going to die of something eventually. That something may be an accident, a fight, a disease or an encounter with a hungry predator. There is thus a premium on reproducing early rather than conserving resources for a future that may never come. The reason why repairs are not perfect is that they are costly and resources invested in them might be used for reproduction instead. Often, therefore, the body's mechanics prefer lash-ups to complete rebuilds —or simply do not bother with the job at all. And if that is so, theplace to start looking for longer life is in the repair shop.68、 The word "elongated"(Para. 2) is closest in meaning to______ .A. perpetuatedB. promotedC. stretchedD. enhanced69、 Why does the author mention Lincoln's axe?A. To tell people that a simple tool can be repaired thoroughly.B. To make people realize that immortality is not possible.C. To illustrate the fact that the prospect of growing old is intolerable.D. To suggest an anti-ageing approach that will reproduce itself.70、 What do we know from the passage about people and nature?A. People and nature exist in harmony and hardly disagree.B. The evolutionary force in nature helps delay the ageing process.C. People seem now in a position to harness nature.D. Death is the reality in nature people should come to terms with.71、 For whom does the author probably write this passage?A. General readers.B. Health service workers.C. Medical scientists.D. Elderly people.72、 It is implied in the passage that ______ .A. people put a premium on youth and physical appearanceB. death is treated as a matter of courseC. evolutionary force makes immortality possibleD. reproduction is a useful alternative to longer lifeIn the information technology industry, it is widely acknowledged that how well IT departments of the future can fulfil their business goalswill depend not on the regular updating of technology, which isessential for them to do, but on how well they can hold on to the people skilled at manipulating the newest technology. This is becoming more difficult. Best estimates of the current shortfall in IT staff in the UK are between 30,000 and 50,000, and growing.And there is no end to the problem in sight. A severe industry-widelack of investment in training means the long-term skills base is both ageing and shrinking. Employers are chasing experienced staff in ever-decreasing circles, and according to a recent government report, 250,000 new IT jobs will be created over the next decade.Most employers are confining themselves to dealing with the immediate problems. There is little evidence, for example, that they are stepping up their intake of raw recruits for in-house training, or re-training existing staff from other functions. This is the course of action recommended by the Computer Software Services Association, but research shows its members are adopting the short-term measure of bringing inmore and more consultants on a contract basis. However, this approach is becoming less and less acceptable as the general shortage of skills,coupled with high demand, sends contractor rates soaring. An experienced contract programmer, for example, can now earn at least double the current permanent salary.With IT professionals increasingly attracted to the financial rewards and flexibility of consultancy work, average staff turnover rates are estimated to be around 15%. While many companies in the financial services sector are managing to contain their losses by offering skilled IT staff 'golden handcuffs'—deferred loyalty bonuses that tie them in until a certain date—other organisations, like local governments, are unable to match the competitive salaries and perks on offer in theprivate sector and contractor market, and are suffering turnover ratesof up to 60% a year.Many industry experts advise employers to link bonuses to performance wherever possible. However, employers are realising that bonuses will only succeed if they are accompanied by other incentives such as attractive career prospects, training, and challenging work that meets the individual' s long-term ambition.This means managers need to allocate assignments more strategically and think about advancing their staff as well as their business. Some employers advocate giving key employees projects that would normally be handled by people with slightly more experience or capability. For many employers, however, the urgency of the problem demands a more immediate solution, such as recruiting skilled workers from overseas. But eventhis is not easy, with strict quotas on the number of work permits issued. In addition, opposition to the recruitment of IT people from other countries is growing, as many professionals believe it will leadto even less investment in training and thus a long-term weakening ofthe UK skills base.73、 According to the first paragraph, the success of IT departments will depend on ______.A. their success in retaining their skilled staffB. the extent to which they invest in new technologyC. their attempts to recruit staff with the necessary skillsD. the ability of employers to keep up with the latest developments74、 A problem referred to in the second paragraph is that ______.A. the government needs to create thousands of new IT postsB. the pool of skilled IT people will get even smaller in the futureC. company budgets for IT training have been decreasing steadilyD. older IT professionals have not had adequate training75、 What possible solution to the long-term problems in the IT industry is referred to in the third paragraph?A. Ensuring that permanent staff earn the same as contract staff.B. Expanding company training programmes for employees.C. Conducting more research into the causes of staff leaving.D. Offering top rates to attract the best specialist consultants.76、 In the financial services sector, the IT staffing problem has led to ______.A. cash or other benefits for skilled staff after a specified period of timeB. more employees seeking alternative employment in the public sectorC. the loss of customers to rival organisationsD. more flexible conditions of work for their staff77、 According to the final paragraph, the UK skill base will be weakened by ______.A. changes to managers' strategic thinkingB. insufficient responsibility being given to IT staffC. the employment of IT staff with too little experienceD. the hiring of IT personnel from abroadThe world seems to be going diet crazy, and yet our nation's obesity rate has shot up year after year. And, it's not only the over 20 population that has to worry about their weight anymore. Children from kindergarten to twelfth grade are also experiencing the problems of an overweight lifestyle.According to the website , 11% of adolescents are categorized as being over-weight, and another 16% are in danger of becoming overweight. This is a 60% jump from the 1980's.Some of the blame is being put on schools wanting to fit more academic classes into the children's schedule rather than waste time on physical education. This new take on education has left us with physical activity at an all-time national low, resulting in obesity and poor physical conditioning at an all-time national high. The schools have tried a few solutions; the most recent in the news has been taking soda out of schools and increasing the required time children must be active during school.Will those methods help at all? Education is important at school, but starts at home. I believe students are getting their bad habits from watching their parents and how they eat and exercise. The school system only helps to hinder the child's dietary eating. I know there arestudies showing genes that determine how a child will be built. That does not explain however, why the rate continues to increase at such a rapid rate each year. It seems more likely that more and more families have both parents working, leaving their children to their own means for a meal."Nintendo, TV, Playstation and the like," are what Physical Education teacher, Sue Arostegui, attributes the inactiveness to."Parents are either gone or too scared with today's society to let them out and play."Classes on health need to become more regular and sports need to be encouraged. At Live Oak High School the staff does a good job of teaching how to eat and exercise to stay healthy. The freshmen study health every Wednesday in RE., and Para James teaches healthy eating and food preparation in Home Economics for the first few weeks of every school year."Kids have no idea how many calories they are eating," said James of the overweight problems facing students. "Fast food is becoming more popular, it's easier and parents are busy. They are only setting their kids up to gain weight with that diet however."School cafeterias are also getting blamed for the students' eating habits. "Healthy eating should start at home," said L.O.H.S. cafeteria cool Brenda Myers. "Too many kids are being raised onfast food. After eating so much fast food they don't have any tastes for real home cooked food. I always have healthy foods for students, but they are less likely to eat them."Other schools do not even have the type of programs Live Oak offers and are suffering even worse consequences. Sports keep students fit and healthy. There need to be more readily available sports programs for anyone who would like to join. Many students when they feel they do not meet the standards for a team will admit defeat and drop off the team: There needs to be a program that all students will be interested in and continue through for the entire season.。

And too often, by the tough decisions we avoid. Most of us have avoided even thinking about how our rapidly growingpopulation is affecting our quality of life and shaping our society.Our population has more than doubled since World War II, and at this rate, we could be on our way to 1 billion people living in the United States by the end of the century. Our population growth, driven in part by unchecked immigration, is already straining our healthcare and educational systems and, less noticeably —but far more important —putting a heavy burden on our natural resources.All these pressures on our resources will only worsen unless our leaders begin a national dialogue on the future of this country and start making the tough choices. Politicians are avoiding debate on these issues because they are the most difficult ones to confront. In campaign debating, these are wedge issues. But failure to come to terms with them will drive a wedge between all of us and a prosperous, healthy future for this country.我们作为个人和一个国家(民族),其特性表现为我们所做的选择,而且还常常表现为我们不想/避免做出的艰难决定(来确定的)。

下半年翻译资格考试中级口译真题及答案汉译英:春节是我国民间最隆重、最热闹的一个传统节日。

春节时,家家户户都要做充足的准备。

节前十天左右,人们就开始忙碌着采购年货,为小孩子们添置新衣新帽,准备过年时穿。

另外,节前人们会在家门口贴上红纸写成的春联,屋里张贴色彩鲜艳、寓意吉祥的年画,窗户上贴着窗花,门前挂上大红灯笼或贴“福”字。

“福”字还可以倒贴,路人一念福倒了,也就意味着福气到了。

Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival in China bustling with noise and excitement. During the Spring Festival, everything was in a state of preparedness for every family. About ten days before the festival, people began busy preparing special purchases, including new clothes and shoes for the children to embrace the new year. What’s more, people begin decorating their rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity, which include Spring Festival couplets on red paper pasted on the door panels, red paper-cuttings on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings on the wall, as well as red lanterns or the Chinese character‘Fu’ (meaning blessing or happiness) on the front door. The Chinese character ‘Fu’ can be pasted normally or upside down, signifying good futune because in Chinese the "reversed fu" is homophonic with "fu comes", both being pronounced as "fudaole."英译汉:School bullying is quite common in most schools. According to the American psychological Association, approximately 40% to 80% of school-age children experience bullying at some point during their school careers. Regardless of the grade level, socioeconomic environment, gender and religion, bullying can happen to anyone. Teachers need to have a certain level of awareness of this issue. This starts with understanding the three forms of bullying: physical, verbal and emotional.Physical bullying is any unwanted physical contact between the bully and the victim. It is the most identifiable form of all. Verbal bullying is any injurious language or state ment that causes the victim’semotional suffering. Emotional bullying is any form of bullying that causes damanges to a victim’s emotional well-being.The consequence of school bullying might be horrible. It is a major cause of school shooting. School shooters that died or committed suicide left behind evidence that they had been bullied. Therefore, enough attention should be given and practical measures should be taken by the school administration to address this issue.在大多数学校,校园欺凌常有所闻。

2023年全国翻译专业资格考试真题

2023年全国翻译专业资格考试真题【2023年全国翻译专业资格考试真题】一、中译英请根据以下中文短文,将其翻译成英文。

有句古话说:“树欲静而风不止。

”这句话用于形容人们常常遇到的一种情况,就是明明想要安静放松,却总是有各种噪音和干扰打扰。

这个问题在现代社会变得尤为突出。

随着科技的发展,我们的生活越来越依赖于各种电子设备和社交媒体。

我们不仅在家中会遭遇到各种噪音来源,如电视、电脑和手机,而且在外面的公共场所也免不了被喧闹的音乐、车辆和人声困扰。

这种不断的干扰会对我们的身心健康产生负面影响。

如何解决这个问题呢?首先,我们可以通过调整自身的心态来应对。

在日常生活中,我们可以学会放慢脚步,深呼吸,减轻内心的压力。

此外,适当安排时间去一个相对宁静的环境,例如公园或图书馆,有助于缓解焦虑和压力。

其次,我们可以利用科技的力量来减少噪音的干扰。

比如,使用耳机听音乐或白噪音来屏蔽外界的杂音,或者在有需要的时候选择将手机静音,避免频繁的社交媒体消息打扰。

此外,建设一个和谐宁静的社会也是解决这个问题的关键。

政府应该加强对城市噪音控制的管理,例如倡导合理的建筑规划和交通管理,以减少噪音对居民生活的干扰。

同时,我们每个人也应该意识到自己在公共场合时要保持良好的行为习惯,不制造噪音,争取创造一个共同宁静的环境。

总之,要解决噪音干扰的问题,我们需要从自身做起,调整好心态并利用科技来帮助我们。

同时,政府也应该加大力度管理城市噪音,共同努力创造一个更加宁静与和谐的生活环境。

二、英译中请根据以下英文短文,将其翻译成中文。

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, machine translation has become increasingly popular and widely used. Machine translation refers to the use of computer software to automatically translate text from one language to another.There are several advantages of machine translation. Firstly, it is much faster than human translation. A machine can process a large amount of text in a very short time, which greatly improves efficiency. Secondly, it can help reduce translation costs. Hiring human translators can be expensive, especially for large-scale translation projects. Machine translation provides a cost-effective alternative. Thirdly, machine translation can handle multiple languages simultaneously. It eliminates the need for separate translators for different languages, making it more efficient and convenient.However, machine translation also has its limitations. One major challenge is accuracy. Machines cannot fully understand the context and nuances of language, resulting in occasional translation errors. This isespecially true for idiomatic expressions, cultural references, and complex texts. Another limitation is the lack of human touch. Machine translation lacks the ability to convey emotions and adapt the translation to specific target audiences. This can lead to flat and impersonal translations that fail to capture the essence of the original text.To overcome these limitations, a hybrid approach combining machine translation with human post-editing is often used. This involves using machine translation as a starting point and then having human translators review and refine the output to ensure accuracy and improve readability. By combining the strengths of both humans and machines, this approach can achieve higher quality translations.In conclusion, machine translation has become an indispensable tool in our increasingly globalized world. It offers speed and cost advantages, but it also faces challenges in terms of accuracy and human touch. By leveraging the strengths of both humans and machines, we can maximize the benefits of machine translation while ensuring the quality of the final output.。
