2012年11月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试三级笔译实务Section 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) (60 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120 minutes.FOR MORE than 30 years, I have been wondering about L.R. Generson. On one of our first Christmases together, my husband gave me a complete set of Dickens. There were 20 volumes, bound in gray cloth with black corners, old but in good condition. Stamped on the flyleaf of each volume, in faded block letters, was the name of the previous owner: “L.R. Generson, M.D., Bronx, NY.”That Dickens set is one of the best presents anyone has ever given me. A couple of the books are still pristine, but others -“Bleak House,’’ “David Copperfield,’’ and especially “Great Expectations’’ - have been read and re-read almost to pieces. Over the years, Pip and Estella and Magwitch have kept me company. So have Lady Dedlock, Steerforth and Peggotty, the Cratchits and the Pecksniffs and the Veneerings. And so, in his silent enigmatic way, has L.R. Generson. Did he love the books as much as I do? Who was he? On a whim, I Googled him. There wasn’t much -a single mention on a veterans’ website of a World War II captain named Leonard Generson. But I did find a Dr. Richard Generson, an oral surgeon living in New Jersey. Since Generson is not a common name, I decided to write to him.Dr. Generson was kind enough to write back. He told me that his father, Leonard Richard Generson, was born in 1909. He lived in New York City but went to medical school in Basel, Switzerland. He spoke 10 languages fluently. As an obstetrician and gynecologist, he opened a practice in the Bronx shortly before World War II. His son described him as “an extremely patriotic individual’’; right after Pearl Harbor he closed his practice and enlisted. He served throughout the war as a general surgeon with an airborne special forces unit in Europe, where he became one of the war’s most highly decorated physicians.The list of his decorations reflects his ordeals and his courage: multiple Purple Hearts, the Bronze Star with “V’’ for valor, the Silver Star, and also the Cross of War, an extremely high honor from the government of France. After the war, he remained in the Army Reserve and attained the rank of full colonel, while also continuing his medical practice in New York. “He was a very dedicated physician who had a large patient following,’’ his son wrote.Leonard Generson’s son didn’t remember the Dickens set, though he told me that there were always a lot of novels in the house. His mother probably “cleaned house’’ after his father’s death in 1977 - the same year my husband bought the set in a used book store.I found this letter very moving, with its brief portrait of an intelligent, brave man and his life of service. At the same time, it made me question my presumption that somehow L.R. Generson and I were connected because we’d owned the same set of books. The letter both told me a little about him, and told me that I would never really know anything about him - and why should I? His son must have been startled to hear from a stranger on such a fragile pretext. What had I been thinking?One possible, and only somewhat facetious, answer is that I’ve read too much Dickens. In the world of a Dickens novel, everything is connected to everything else. Orphans find families. Lovers are joined (or parted and morally strengthened). Ancient mysteries are solved and old scores are settled. Questions are answered. Stories end.Dickens’s cluttered network of connected lives brilliantly exaggerates something that is true of all of us. We want to impose order through telling stories, maybe because there is so much we don’t know about our own stories and the stories of those around us.Leonard Generson’s life touched mine only lightly, through the coincidence of a set of books. But there are other lives he touched more deeply. The next time I read a Dickens novel, I will think of him and his military service and his 10 languages. And I will think of the hundreds of babies he must have delivered, who are now in the middle of their own lives and their own stories.Section 2 Chinese-English Translation (汉译英)(40 points)Translate the following passage into English.

11月翻译资格考题三级英语笔译实务试卷Section 1:英译汉(50 分)Plans are well under way for a year of celebrations to mark the upcoming bicentennial of one of Poland's favorite native sons-Frédéric, Chopin.The prestigious International Chopin Competition for pianists will mark its 16th edition in October 2010. Held every five years, the competition draws scores of young musicians from all over the world. In addition, Warsaw's Chopin Museum, with the world's largest collection of Chopin documents and other artifacts, will undergo a total redesign, modernization and expansion.A lavishly illustrated new guidebook called "Chopin's Poland" was already published this year. It leads visitors to dozens of sites in Warsaw and elsewhere around the country where the composer lived, ate, studied, performed, visited or even partied."Actually, Chopin doesn't need to be promoted, but we hope that Poland and Polish culture can be promoted through Chopin," said Monika Strugala, who is coordinating the Chopin 2010 program under the aegis of the Fryderyk ChopinInstitute, a body set up by the Sejm in 2001 to promote and protect Chopin's work and image."We want to confirm to all that he is a very, very important Polish symbol," she said. Indeed, it's not much of an exaggeration to say that Chopin's music flows through the Polish national consciousness like some sort of cultural lifeblood. The son of a Polish mother and a French émigréfather, Chopin was born in a manor house at Zelazowa Wola, about 50 kilometers, or 30 miles, west of Warsaw, and moved to Warsaw as an infant.The manor is something of a Chopin shrine-since the 1930 s it has been a museum and center for concerts. Like the Chopin Museum in Warsaw, it, too, is undergoing extensive renovation as part of bicentennial preparations.Chopin spent his first 20 years in and around Warsaw. He was already a noted pianist as a boy and composed concertos and other important works as a teenager. He carried Polish soil with him when he left Warsaw on a concert tour in 1830, just a few weeks before the outbreak of the November Uprising, an abortive Polish revolt against Czarist Russia, which then ruled Warsaw and a broad swath of Polishterritory.Chopin remained in exile in France after the uprising was crushed. But so attached was he to his native land that after his death in Paris in 1849 his heart-on his own instructions-was brought back to Warsaw for interment. The rest of his body is buried in the Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris."For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,"reads the Biblical inscription on a plaque where his heart is kept today, preserved in an urn and concealed in a pillar of the Holy Cross Church in central Warsaw. Mozart's"Requiem" will be performed here as part of Bicentennial events.Exile and patriotism, as well as extraordinary genius, have long made Chopin's appeal transcend all manner of social and political divides.Polish folk motifs thread through some of his finest pieces, and patriotic fervor,as well as homesick longing, infuse some of his best-known works.Section 2:汉译英(50 分)国际金融危机给中国带来了前所未有的困难和挑战。
2008年5、11月翻译资格考试二级笔译真题
2008 年 5 月翻译资格考试二级笔译真题第一部分英译汉必译题If a heavy reliance on fossil fuels makes a country a climate ogre, then Denmark —with its thousands of wind turbines sprinkled on the coastlines and at sea — is living a happy fairy tale.Viewed from the United States or Asia, Denmark is an environmental role model. The country is "what a global warming solution looks like," wrote Frances Beinecke, the president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, in a letter to the group last autumn. About one-fifth of the country's electricity comes from wind, which wind experts say is the highest proportion of any country.But a closer look shows that Denmark is a far cry from a clean-energy paradise. The building of wind turbines has virtually ground to a halt since subsidies were cut back. Meanwhile, compared with others in the European Union, Danes remain above-average emitters of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. For all its wind turbines, a large proportion of the rest of Denmark's power is generated by plants that burn imported coal.The Danish experience shows how difficult it can be for countries grown rich on fossil fuels to switch to renewable energy sources like wind power. Among the hurdles are fluctuating political priorities, the high cost of putting new turbines offshore, concern about public acceptance of large wind turbines and the volatility of the wind itself."Europe has really led the way,"said Alex Klein, a senior analyst with Emerging Energy Research, a consulting firm with offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Some parts of western Denmark derive 100 percent of their peak needs from wind if the breeze is up. Germany and Spain generate more power in absolute terms, but in those countries wind still accounts for a far smaller proportion of the electricity generated. The average for all 27 European Union countries is 3 percent.But the Germans and the Spanish are catching up as Denmark slows down. Of the thousands of megawatts of wind power added last year around the world, only 8 megawatts were installed in Denmark.If higher subsidies had been maintained, he said, Denmark could now be generating close to one-third — rather than one-fifth — of its electricity from windmills.韩老师参考译文:如果一个国家因严重依赖化石燃料而成为导致气候变化的恶魔的话,那么丹麦这个拥有数千个沿海和海上风力发电机组的国家算得上是生活在童话里的幸福国度了。

2024英语三级笔译(Catti 3)实务真题及参考译文
2024年英语三级笔译(CATTI3)实务真题及参考译文1.英译汉(原文)The last vestiges of Covid Restrictions have finally been removed, and international tourism is exploding—more than 900 million eager tourists took to the skies in 2022, doubling the number from 2021.But as world travel recovers from the pandemic, the rise in tourism is, among other things, overwhelming foreign infrastructure, disrupting local residents and diminishing the overall tourist experience.Although tourism still boosts the economies of hotspot cities, municipal authorities are concerned about the impact over tourism has on their communities and cultural heritage sites and have thus started taking matters into their own hands to mitigate overcrowding.To counter the downsides of overtourism, the travel industry can utilize tech-based tools that combat the root causes of tourist congestion and actively encourage travel to lesser-known places, thereby satisfying tourists without burdening the local residents.According to one study, when tourist numbers exceed a city’s carrying capacity, residents’ perception of their home as a good place to live begins to deteriorate, increasing feelings of resentment toward tourists during peak seasons.Amsterdam, with its picturesque canals, stunning brick architecture and leisurely bicycle paths, is just one of several cities reeling from the effects of overtourism; more than 20 million tourists are anticipated to visit the city this year alone.To curb the flow of visitors without destabilizing the tourism market, the city introduced a cap on overnight guests and is proposing further measures that include relocating some popular tourist attractions to outside the city center—or even removing them altogether.To give the city more “breathing space”, the mayor of Dubrovnik(杜布罗夫尼克,克罗地亚城市)shut down 80% of its souvenir stalls and restricted cruise ship and tour bus operations. City officials in Barcelona instituted taxes for overnight tourists and barred entry to certain food markets. And in Venice, officials banned the development of new hotels and installed turnstiles along popular routes to redirect tourist traffic.To thrive with resident communities, the tourism industry must cultivate a new approach that better serves local interests when promoting destinations and trip options.Marketing trips through the use of thoughtful ad campaigns and tech tools that inspire tourists to venture away from conventional hotspots and explore lesser-known attractions could lead to a more even distribution of travelers across various destinations.To that end, dispersing tourists should be a top business goal for travel providers rather than focusing only on the high-traffic destinations. This not only enables travelers to genuinely experience diverse cultures but also provides vital support torural-located businesses, restaurants and cultural establishments, which stand to gain the most from tourist dollars.In order to empower travelers to visit new or unfamiliar destinations, the industry should consider leveraging tech-based tools to convince them. Airbnb(爱彼迎公司), for example, rolled out flexible search features in 2021 that divert bookings away from destinations at times when overtourism occurs, encouraging tourists to make accommodations in alternative cities or towns.With tourists overrunning major destinations, the tourism industry and local municipalities must find some middle ground. Heavily visited cities will otherwise be forced to impose further tourist restrictions, putting an entire revenue stream at risk.1.英译汉(译文)新冠疫情最后剩余的限制终于被解除,国际旅游业也因此迎来了爆发式增长——2022年,有超过9亿热切的游客乘飞机出行,人数是2021年的两倍。

CATTI英语三级《笔译实务》真题及答案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 agingplant 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 dollarsin related health savings, and will have a sweeping impact on air quality.“Coal plants are t he 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 plants.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, soI’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。

2008年5月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试三级笔译实务Section 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉)Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 180 minutes. Europe Pushes to Get Fuel From FieldsARDEA, Italy — The previous growing season, this lush coastal field near Rome was filled with rows of delicate durum wheat, used to make high-quality pasta. Today it overflows with rapeseed, a tall, gnarled weedlike plant bursting with coarse yellow flowers that has become a new manna for European farmers: rapeseed can be turned into biofuel.Motivated by generous subsidies to develop alternative energy sources — and a measure of concern about the future of the planet —Europe’s farmers are beginning to grow crops that can be turned into fuels meant to produce fewer emissions than gas or oil. They are chasing their counterparts in the Americas who have been raising crops for biofuel for more than five years.“This is a much-needed boost to our economy, our farms,” said Marcello Pini, 50, a farmer, standing in front of the rapeseed he planted for the first time. “Of course, we h ope it helps the environment, too.”In March, the European Commission, disappointed by the slow growth of the biofuels industry, approved a directive that included a “binding target” requiring member countries to use 10 percent biofuel for transport by 2020 — the most ambitious and specific goal in the world.Most European countries are far from achieving the target, and are introducing incentives and subsidies to bolster production.As a result, bioenergy crops have replaced food as the most profitable crop in several European countries. In this part of Italy, for example, the government guarantees the purchase of biofuel crops at 22 Euros for 100 kilograms, or $13.42 for 100 pounds — nearly twice the 11 to 12 Euros for 100 kilograms of wheat on the open market in 2006. Better still, farmers can plant biofuel crops on “set aside” fields, land that Europe’s agriculture policy would otherwise require be left fallow.But an expert panel convened by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization pointed out that the biofuels boom produces benefits as well as trade-offs and risks — including higher and wildly fluctuating food prices. In some markets, grain prices have nearly doubled.“At a time when agricultural prices are low, in comes biofuel and improves the lot of farmers and injects life into rural areas,” said Gustavo Best, an expert at the Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome. “But as the scale grows and the demand for biofuel crops seems to be infinite, we’re seeing some negative effects and we need to hold up a yellow light.”Josette Sheeran, the new head of the United Nations World Food program, which fed nearly 90 million people in 2006, said that biofuels created new problems. “An i ncrease in grain prices impacts us because we are a major procurer of grain for food,” she said. “So biofuels are both a challenge and an opportunity.”In Europe, the rapid conversion of fields that once grew wheat or barley to biofuel crops like rapeseed is already leading to shortages of the ingredients for making pasta and brewing beer, suppliers say. That could translate into higher prices in supermarkets.“New and increasing demand for bi oenergy production has put high pressure on the whole world grain market,” said Claudia Conti, a spokesman for Barilla, one of the largest Italian pasta makers.“Not only German beer producers, but Mexican tortilla makers have see the cost of their main ra w material growing quickly to historical highs.”Some experts are more worried about the potential impact to low-income consumers. In the developing world, the shift to more lucrative biofuel crops destined for richer countries could create serious hunger and damage the environment if wild land is converted to biofuel cultivation, the agriculture panel concluded.But officials at the European Commission say they are pursuing a measured course that will prevent some of the price and supply problems seen in American markets.In a recent speech, Mariann Fischer Boel, the European agriculture and rural development commissioner, said that the 10 percent target was “not a shot in the dark,” but was carefully chosen to encourage a level of growth for the biofuel industry that would not produce undue hardship for Europe’s poor.She calculated that this approach would push up would raw material prices for cereal by 3 percent to 6 percent by 2020, while prices for oilseed might rise 5 percent to 18 percent. But food prices on the shelves would barely change, she said.Yet even as the European program begins to harvest biofuels in greater volume, homegrown production is still far short of what is needed to reach the 10 percent goal: Europe’s farmers produced an estimated 2.9 billion liters, or 768 million gallons, of biofuel in 2004, far shy of the 3.4 billion gallons generated in the United States in the period. In 2005, biofuel accounted for around 1 percent of Europe’s fuel, according to European statistics, with almos t all of that in Germany and Sweden. The biofuel share in Italy was 0.51 percent, and in Britain, 0.18 percent.That could pose a threat to European markets as foreign producers like Brazil or developing countries like Indonesia and Malaysia try to ship their biofuels to markets where demand, subsidies and tax breaks are the greatest.Ms. Fischer Boel recently acknowledged that Europe would have to import at least a third of what it would need to reach its 10 percent biofuels target. Politicians fear that could hamper development of a local industry, while perversely generating tons of new emissions as “green” fuel is shipped thousands of kilometers across the Atlantic, instead of coming from the farm next door.Such imports could make biofuel far less green in other ways as well — for example if Southeast Asian rainforest is destroyed for cropland.Brazil, a country with a perfect climate for sugar cane and vast amounts of land, started with subsidies years ago to encourage the farming of sugarcane for biofu els, partly to take up “excess capacity” in its flagging agricultural sector.The auto industry jumped in, too. In 2003, Brazilian automakers started producing flex-fuel cars that could run on biofuels, including locally produced ethanol. Today, 70 percent of new cars in the country are flex-fuel models, and Brazil is one of the largest growers of cane for ethanol.Analysts are unsure if the Brazilian achievement can be replicated in Europe — or anywhere else. Sugar takes far less energy to convert to biofuel than almost any product.Yet after a series of alarming reports on climate change, the political urgency to move faster is clearly growing.With an armload of incentives, the Italian government hopes that 70,000 hectares, or 173,000 acres, of land will be planted with biofuel crops in 2007, and 240,000 hectares in 2010, up from zero in 2006.Mr. Pini, the farmer, has converted about 25 percent of his land, or 18 hectares, including his “set aside” land, to Europe’s fastest-growing biofuel crop, rapeseed. He still has 50 hectares in grain and 7 in olives.He has discovered other advantages as well. In Italy’s finicky food culture, food crops haveto look good and be high quality to sell— a drought or undue heat can mean an off year. Crops for fuel, in contrast, can be ugly or stunted.“You need fewer seeds and it’s much easier to grow,” he said.英译汉参考答案欧洲竞相从农田获取燃料阿尔代亚,意大利——上个生长季节,罗马近郊植物葱茏的靠海农田,遍布成排的纤细的硬质小麦,过去用于制作高品质意粉。

2008年11月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译实务真题及答案试题部分:Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese.LONGYEARBYEN, Norway —With plant species disappearing at an alarming rate, scientists and governments are creating a global network of plant banks to store seeds and sprouts, precious genetic resources that may be needed for man to adapt the world’s food supply to climate change.This week, the flagship of that effort, the Global Seed Vault near here, received its first seeds, millions of them. Bored into the middle of a frozen Arctic mountain topped with snow, the vault’s goal is to store and protect samples of every type of seed from every seed collection in the world.As of Thursday, thousands of neatly stacked and labeled gray boxes of seeds —peas from Nigeria, corn from Mexico —reside in this glazed cavelike structure, forming a sort of backup hard drive, in case natural disasters or human errors erase the seeds from the outside world.Descending almost 500 feet under the permafrost, the entrance tunnel to the seed vault is designed to withstand bomb blasts and earthquakes. An automated digital monitoring system controls temperature and provides security akin to a missile silo or Fort Knox. No one person has all the codes for entrance.The Global Vault is part of a broader effort to gather and systematize information about plants and their genes, which climate change experts say may indeed prove more valuable than gold. In Leuven, Belgium, scientists are scouring the world for banana samples and preserving their shoots in liquid nitrogen before they become extinct.A similar effort is under way in France on coffee plants. A number of plants, most from the tropics, do not produce seeds that can be stored.For years, a hodgepodge network of seed banks has been amassing seed and shoot collections in a haphazard manner. Labs in Mexico banked corn species. Those in Nigeria banked cassava. Now these scattershot efforts are being urgently consolidated and systematized, in part because of better technology to preserve plant genes and in part because of the rising alarm about climate change and its impact on world food production.“We started thinking about this post-9/11 and on the heels of Hurricane Katrina,” said Cary Fowler, president of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, a nonprofit group that runs the vault. “Everyone was saying, why didn’t anyone prepare for ahurricane before? We knew it was going to happen.“Well, we are losing biodiversity every day —it’s a kind of drip, dr ip, drip. It’s also inevitable.

2008年11月三级笔译实务试题及答案
2008年11月三级笔译实务试题英译汉With plant species disappearing at an alarming rate, scientists and governments are creating a global network of plant banks to store seeds and sprouts that may be needed for man to adapt the world’s food supply to climate change.This week, the flagship of that effort, the Global Seed Vault, received its first seeds here—millions of them.Bored into the middle of a snow-topped Arctic mountain in Longyearbyen, Norway, the seed valut has as its goal the storing of every kind of seed from every collection on the planet. While seeds will remain in ordinary seed banks, the vault’s stacked gray boxes will form a backup in case natural disaster or human error erases the seeds from the outside world.For year, a hodgepodge network of seed banks has been amassing seed and schoot collection. Labs in Mexico banked corn species. Those in Nigeria banked cassava.These scattered efforts are being consolidated and systematized, in part because of better technology to preserve plant genes and in part because of rising alarm about the trend of climate change and its impact on world food production.This week the urgency of the problem was underscored as wheat prices reached record highs and wheat stockpiles dropped to the lowest level in 35 years. Droughts and new diseases cut wheat production in many parts of the world.A well-organized system of plant banks could be crucial in responding to climate crises because it could identify strains that are better able to cope with a changed environment. At the Global Seed Vault,hundreds of boxes containing seeds from Syria to Mexico were being moved this week into a freezing vault to be placed in suspended animation. Collectively they harbor a vast range of characteristics, including the ability to withstand drier, warmer climates.Seeds must be stored at minus 20 degrees Celsius(minus 4 Fahrenheit). Underground in Longyearbyen, just 1,000 kilometers, or 600 miles, from the North Pole, the seeds will stay frozen regardless of power failures.The vault was build by Norway, and its operations are financed by government and private donations including $20 million from Britain, $12 million from Australia, $11 million from Germany and $6.5 million from the United States.The effort to preserve a wide variety of plant genes in banks is particularly urgent because many farms now grow just one or two crops. They are particularly vulnerable to pests, disease and climate change.Just as efforts to preserve biodiversity increase, economics encourages farmers to focus on fewer crops. But the stored seeds many contain traits that will prove advantageous in another time. “You need a system to conserve the variety, so it doesn’t become extinct,” said Cary Fowler president of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, the non-profit group that runs the vault. ”A farmer may make a bowl of porridge with the last seeds of a strain that is of no use to him, and then it’s gone. And potentially those are exactly the seeds we will need a decade later.”Scientists are also working to learn more about the genetic characteristics of each banked seed—crucial knowledge that is often not recorded. Ultimately plant breeders will be able to consult a global database to find seeds suitable for the particular challenge confronting a region, like corn with a stalk that is strong enough to resist high winds or wheat that needs less water.中译英在上海的现代化轻轨列车上,上班族有的在打手机,有的在用笔记本电脑,有的在观赏车内顺平显示器上播放的电影。
11月catti三级笔译实务真题(附答案)
2005年11月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试三级笔译实务Section 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) (60 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120 minutes.The Gap between Rich and Poor Widened in U.S. Capital Washington D.C. ranks first among the 40 cities with the widest gap between the poor and the rich, according to a recent report released by the D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute on July 22nd. The top 20 percent of households in D.C. have an average yearly income of $186,830, 31 times that of the bottom 20 percent, which earns only $6,126 per year. The income gap is also big in Atlanta and Miami, but the difference is not as pronounced.The report also indicates that the widening gap occurred mainly during the 1990s. Over the last decade, the average income of the top 20 percent of households has grown 36 percent, while the average income of the bottom 20 percent has only risen 3 percent."I believe the concentration of the middle- to high-income families in the D.C. area will continue, therefore, the income gap between rich and poor will be hard to bridge," David Garrison told the Washington Observer. Garrison is a senior researcher with the Brookings Institution, specializing in the study of the social and economic policies in the greater Washington D.C. area.The report attributed the persistent income gap in Washington to the area's special job opportunities, which attract high-income households. Especially since the federal government is based in Washington D.C., Government agencies and other government related businesses such as lobbying firms and government contractors constantly offer high-paying jobs, which contribute to the trend of increasing high-income households in the D.C. area. For example, a single young professional working in a law firm in D.C. can earn as much as $100,000 in his or her first year out of law school.Section 2 Chinese-English Translation (汉译英) (40 points)Translate the following passage into English.

全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级笔译实务试卷样题及答案英译汉样题选自2006年5月三级笔译实物大家论坛相关讨论帖:/thread-2297923-1-1.html英语三级笔译实务试卷(样题)Section 1:English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into ChineseFreed by warming, waters once locked beneath ice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle.In Bykovsky, a village of 457 residents at the tip of a fin-shaped peninsula 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, or 5 to 6 meters, a year. Eventually, homes will be lost as more ice melts each summer, and maybe all of Bykovsky, too.“It is practically all ice — permafrost —and it is thawing. ” The 4 million Russian people who live north of the Arctic Circle are feeling the effects of warming in many ways. A changing climate presents new opportunities, but it also threatens their environment, the stability of 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. Discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil or liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed for the eager markets of Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by air and water 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 coastal villages at a projected cost of US $ 100 million or more for each one. Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with cultural 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, the northernmost province of Norway, 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, though in another way. "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 as a result Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance.And yet no amount of government support can convince 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 are 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 Eira, sitting beside a birch fire inside his lavvu, a 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 (50 points)Translate the following passage into English.中国为种类繁多的菜肴感到十分自豪。
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。
三级笔译汉译英答案
第一篇How I Serve the PassengersOnce I heard a man politely ask a woman in front of him at the door of the crowded bus, "Are you getting off the bus, ma'am?" The woman made no response. "Are you getting off." he asked again. The woman still did not reply. "Getting off, or not?" he shouted impatiently but there was still no response. "Are you deaf, or mute?" As he was annoyed, the man gave her a slight push. The woman glared at him angrily and hit back.At this point, it suddenly occurred to me that on the route of Bus No. 60 was a factory for the physically disabled, and that woman might be a deaf-mute from that factory. I told the man what I was thinking and wrote on a slip of paper: "Excuse me, but he wants to get off. He's asked you several times but you didn't hear him, did you?" When I showed it to the woman, she nodded and made way for him.After that, I began to pay more attention to those who look like deaf-mutes. I even learned some frequently used sign language from them. In this way, not only can I offer them better service and communicate with them, but also prevent misunderstanding or disputes between them and the other passengers.第二篇Knowledge CreationChina is a developing country. Although great progress has been made in the acquisition and application of science, technology and other modern knowledge, there is still an obvious gap between China and the developed countries. For this reason the Chinese government has formulated a strategy of "modernizing China through science and education" and is accelerating the pace of scientific and technological advancement and the updating of knowledge so as to catch up with the developed world as quickly as possible. The essence of knowledge lies in innovation. Only by constantly creating new knowledge and technology can a new industrial revolution be sparked and the rapid development of the economy be made possible. In the new century, factors such as human resources, culture, education, economic and social management are playing an increasingly important role in economic and social development. Only by continually carrying out reform and innovation in theories and technologies and achieving new breakthroughs can we inject new energy and vitality into economic and social development, more efficiently explore and make use of human and natural resources, and create more material and spiritual wealth for the benefit of human society.第三篇The Word Failure Doesn't Exist in My DictionaryMilu is always an optimist. No matter how badly he loses a game, he always remains optimistic.When asked how he responds to failure, Milu's reply was "What does failure mean?" Then he declared, "This word doesn't exist in my dictionary.""I never think about these bad things. Even in my dreams I always dream of good things. One must have confidence in oneself, and be optimistic. Only then will there be hope. I am very optimistic about the prospect of the Chinese team and about my own prospects.""In my view, it is perfectly normal to either lead or lag behind during a match. At halftime, I didn't give any thought to the possibility that we might lose. All I thought was how to change tactics, replace players, score more goals and finally win the game."No one can understand what Milu is doing, because the way we are educated in China makes it impossible for us to understand him!第四篇WaterThe earth's water resources are composed of sea water, underground water, ice and snow, and waters in rivers and lakes, totaling about 1.4 billion cubic kilometers in all. Although sea water makes up 97.2 percent of this, it cannot be used directly for human consumption or for production; water in solid forms, such as ice, snow, etc, is distributed mainly in the uninhabited Arctic and Antarctic areas; and the total amount of water in rivers, lakes and underground comprises only 0.6 percent of the earth's water, of which a considerable amount is undrinkable. Indeed, the fresh water that is usable is merely 0.34 percent of the fresh water reserves of the earth.China's annual water resources are averaged at 2,812.4 billion cubic meters, the third in the world and next only to Brazil and the former Soviet Union. But the size of the population has reduced the per capita water resources to merely 2,580 cubic metres, the 84th place in the world. Furthermore, the water resources are unevenly distributed geographically, with 90 percent of the surface water and over 70 percent of the underground water found in southern provinces. This leaves the 17 provinces in the North extremely short of water. With the increasing population, development of production and expansion of cities, the contradiction between demand for and supply of water will become more and more serious.第五篇A Shortcut to Becoming a BeijingerI came to Beijing and found a job as a hired laborer. My workplace is not far from where I stay, but I have to change buses twice to get there. To save the bus fare, I bought an imitation mountain bike and joined Beijing's large contingent of cyclists. But soon trouble found its way to me.Just five days after I bought the bike I left the building of my company after work to get my bike as usual, only to find my bike had disappeared. I walked around the bike parking lot five times but found no trace of it. I concluded it must have been stolen. Hearing my incident, my landlord consoled me, "Take it easy, sonny. You can't be a Beijinger if you haven't lost at least three bikes."As a bike was indispensable to me, I went to the same shop and bought a second bike of the same design. This time I also bought a strong lock for my bike.It so happened that the third day after I bought my second bike was over a weekend. I rode my bike to Tiancheng Supermarket to do shopping. When I came out an hour later carrying big and small bags, I failed to find my bike again. At first I thought perhaps I was dazed by so many bikes there. It dawned on me only after half an hour's careful searching in vain that my new bike was stolen. On my bus ride back I consoled myself, "At this speed I'll out-Beijinger Beijingers in a few days!"第六篇Enhance the Awareness of the EnvironmentEnvironmental protection is a big issue involving many aspects. The United Nations has also met many obstacles in solving problems concerning this issue. For example, the Bush Administration had tried to defeat the Kyoto Protocol not long ago because it might impede the development of the United States. Of course every citizen should be concerned with such issues,but as ordinary citizens we are not in a position to have much say. However, we can start with small matters in our daily life, such as refusing to use disposable chopsticks or paper napkins.My son seems to be more conscious about environmental protection than I am. He thinks it is more important to take into consideration environmental friendliness rather than economic benefit when making any decision. This gratifies me, but I wonder if he would compromise when he has to face life by himself in the future.It is now more appropriate to judge how advanced a society is by examining if environmental protection has found its way deep into the hearts of its people and their daily behavior than by examining its productivity or living standard.第七篇Capital of BeggarsAddis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, is known as the "capital of beggars". Tens of thousands out of the city's population of three million are beggars. The first impression any foreigner gets when he comes to the city is the unbelievable number of beggars. No matter where you are you will inevitably see them when you look round; and you'll be besieged by a big crowd of beggars dressed in rags as soon as you stop at any intersection.Most of the beggars in Addis Ababa are children. The average life expectancy in Ethiopia is only 49 because of the extreme poverty there. Fifteen million out of Ethiopia's population of 67 million are children under fifteen. Old people are rarely seen in the streets and almost everyone you see is of young age. These children are usually very dirty and are constantly in worries about their next meal. But they are quite optimistic and seem always happy unless extremely hungry. Some children shine shoes for others to earn some bread. They will also readily join the contingent of beggars when they find no business.Another type of beggars are displaced people from the countryside. As Ethiopia was hit by another severe drought last year, there is an obvious increase of beggars in the capital city.第八篇One Plus One Is Less Than TwoNowadays in cities it has become fashionable to remain single, and those who do so seem to be so free and unconstrained. But environmentally this is something undesirable as a recent research report suggests that getting married is an "environment-friendly" action.This sounds somewhat sensational, but it is a simple plain truth: a person living alone consumes much more natural resources than the average a person does when living together with another one. For example, if a person lives by himself in a house which can house two people, the resources used to build the house are partly wasted, and so are water and electricity. So we can see one plus one is less than two. Smaller families mean more families have to be established for the same number of people. As a result, cities get larger and larger, doing serious damage to the surrounding habitats of many species.Sure it is impossible to force single people to get married for the protection of the environment. However, to conserve natural resources, we can at least do our best to choose a way of life that is environment-friendly.第九篇Changing SeatsA woman's seat was next to that of a black man on the plane. She asked a stewardess to change her seat because she "would not sit beside someone whose skin is of an ugly color". Thestewardess replied that all the seats were occupied but she would go and have a look at the first class compartment. The other passengers found the woman's words disgusting but she looked pleased with herself as she wouldn't have to sit beside such a "sickening" person.A few minutes later the stewardess came back and said to the woman, "I'm sorry, but there is a vacant seat in the first class compartment. I've consulted the captain, who has agreed to make some rearrangement about the seat." The woman was very much elated and was ready to leave her seat when the stewardess said to the black man sitting beside the woman, "Would you please follow me to your new seat, sir?" The other passengers were stupefied for a moment but soon gave a round of warm applause to the stewardess.第十篇Harvesting Our Own Sowing?Narrow living spaces and poor hygienic conditions contributed to the wide spread of smallpox in history. Such problems have not been tackled at the root though people's living conditions have been greatly improved. The high population density in central urban districts and the closely built high-risings with narrow space in between are favorable for the spread of viruses. The height inside the rooms is also a problem: It becomes difficult to dispel the polluted air inside the room timely when the height of a room is less than 2.5 meters. But both designers and builders often neglect this in order to save building materials.The greedy demands of human beings have damaged the harmonious natural bio-system. They are paying the price for what they have done. As the resources people rely on are getting exhausted, human beings are exposing themselves to strange viruses and bacteria.。

of microplastics on marine life, likewise, are largely not understood,” he said. There is relatively little data on the extent of microplastics in Antarctic waters, and researchers said they hoped this new study would lead to a greater understanding of the global extent of plastic and chemical pollutants. Bengtsson said, “Plastic has now been found in all corners of our oceans, from the Antarctic to the Arctic and at the deepest point of the ocean, the Mariana trench. We need urgent action to reduce the flow of plastic into our seas and we need large-scale marine reserves – like a huge Antarctic ocean sanctuary which over 1.6m people are calling for – to protect marine life and our oceans for future generations.” There is relatively little data on the extent of microplastics in Antarctic waters, and researchers said they hoped this new study would lead to a greater understanding of the global extent of plastic and chemical pollutants.

2008年11月英语三级笔译实务试题Section 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) (60 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120 minutes.LONGYEARBYEN, Norway —With plant species disappearing at an alarming rate, scientists and governments are creating a global network of plant banks to store seeds and sprouts, precious genetic resources that may be needed for man to adapt the world’s food supply to climate change.This week, the flagship of that effort, the Global Seed V ault near here, received its first seeds, millions of them. Bored into the middle of a frozen Arctic mountain topped with snow, the vault’s goal is to store and protect samples of every type of seed from every seed collection in the world.As of Thursday, thousands of neatly stacked and labeled gray boxes of seeds — peas from Nigeria, corn from Mexico — reside in this glazed cavelike structure, forming a sort of backup hard drive, in case natural disasters or human errors erase the seeds from the outside world.Descending almost 500 feet under the permafrost, the entrance tunnel to the seed vault is designed to withstand bomb blasts and earthquakes. An automated digital monitoring system controls temperature and provides security akin to a missile silo or Fort Knox. No one person has all the codes for entrance.The Global V ault is part of a broader effort to gather and systematize information about plants and their genes, which climate change experts say may indeed prove more valuable than gold. In Leuven, Belgium, scientists are scouring the world for banana samples and preserving their shoots in liquid nitrogen before they become extinct. A similar effort is under way in France on coffee plants. A number of plants, most from the tropics, do not produce seeds that can be stored.For years, a hodgepodge network of seed banks has been amassing seed and shoot collections in a haphazard manner. Labs in Mexico banked corn species. Those in Nigeria banked cassava. Now these scattershot efforts are being urgently consolidated and systematized, in part because of better technology to preserve plant genes and in part because of the rising alarm about climate change and its impact on world food production.“We started thinking about this post-9/11 and on the heels of Hurric ane Katrina,” said Cary Fowler, president of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, a nonprofit group that runs the vault. “Everyone was saying, why didn’t anyone prepare for a hurricane before? We knew it was going to happen.“Well, we are losing biodiversity every day —it’s a kind of drip, drip, drip. It’s also inevitable. We need to do something about it.”This week the urgency of the problem was underscored as wheat prices rose to record highs and wheat stores dropped to the lowest level in 35 years. A series of droughts and new diseases cut wheat production in many parts of the world. “The erosion of plants’ genetic resources is really going fast,” said Dr. Rony Swennen, head of the division of crop biotechnology at the Catholic University of Leuven in Be lgium, who has preserved half of the world’s 1,200 banana types. “We’re at a critical moment and if we don’t act fast, we’re going to lose a lot of plants that we may need.”The United Nations International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources, ratified in 2004, created a formal global network for banking and sharing seeds, as well as for studying their genetic traits. Last year, its database received thousands of new seeds.A system of plant banks could be crucial in responding to climate crises since it could identify genetic material and plant strains better able to cope with a changed environment.Here at the Global V ault, hundreds of gray boxes containing seeds from places ranging from Syria to Mexico were moved this week into a freezing vault to be placed in suspended animation. They harbor a vast range of qualities, like the ability to withstand drier, warmer climate.参考答案挪威朗伊尔城——随着植物物种正在以骇人听闻的速度灭绝,科学家和各国政府正在创建全球网络性的植物库来储存种子和苗芽。
人类可以利用这些珍贵的种芽资源确保充足的食物供应,以应对气候变化。
本周,作为这种不懈努力的旗舰机构,“全球种子地库”接收了首批数百万种的种子。
该地库建于北极的一座白雪皑皑的大山之中,其目标是储存和保护世界各地收藏的各类种子样本。
截至周四,成千上万个堆放整齐且贴有标签的灰色种盒在上釉的洞穴式结构中安家落户,如尼日利亚的豌豆、墨西哥的玉米。
这些盒子就如已经备份了的电脑硬盘,以防世界上的植物物种会因自然灾害和人为破坏而消失。
通往种子地库的入口隧道,位于永冻带下约500英尺处,其设计旨在防御爆炸和地震。
自动化数字监控系统用于控制温度并提供类似导弹发射井或福特诺克斯军事基地的安全保障。
任何人都不单独拥有进入种子库的全部密码。
目前,世界上很多人士致力于收集种子及其种子基因的信息并使之系统化,全球种子地库是这种全球性努力的的一个缩影。
气候变化专家称,这些信息要比金子还要贵重。
在比利时的鲁汶,科学家正在搜集世界上的香蕉样本并将香蕉芽保存在液体氮中,以防其灭绝。
