英语翻译三级笔译实务真题2015年11月及答案解析
英语翻译三级笔译实务真题2015年11月及答案解析(1/1)Section ⅠEnglish Chinese TranslationTranslate the following two passages into Chinese .第1题The Republic of Ireland is a sovereign state in Western Europe, occupying about five-sixths of the island of Ireland. The capital and largest city is Dublin, whose metropolitan area is home to around a third of the country’s 4.6 million inhabitants. The state shares its only land border with Northern Ireland. It is a unitary, parliamentary republic with an elected president serving as head of state. The head of government is nominated by the lower house of parliament.Following the Irish War of Independence and the subsequent Anglo-Irish Treaty, Ireland gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1922. Initially a dominion, Ireland received official British recognition of full legislative independence in the Statute of Westminster of 1931. A new constitution was adopted in 1937, by which the name of the state became “Ireland.” In 1949, Ireland was declared a republic under the Republic of Ireland act 1948.Ireland ranks among the wealthiest countries in the world in terms of GDP per capita. In 1973, Ireland enacted a series of liberal economic policies that resulted in rapid economic growth, coupled with a dramatic rise in inequality. The country achieved considerable prosperity from 1995 to 2007. This was halted by an unprecedented financial crisis that began in 2008, in conjunction with the concurrent global economic crash.In 2011 and 2013 Ireland was ranked as the seventh-most developed country in the world by the United Nations Human Development Index. It also performs well in several metrics of national performance, including freedom of the press, economic freedom and civil liberties. It pursues a policy of neutrality through non-alignment.The population of Ireland stood at 4,588,252 in 2011, an increase of 8.2 percent since 2006. As of 2011, Ireland had the highest birth rate in the European Union (16 births per 1,000 of population). In 2012, 35.1 percent of births were to unmarried women. Annual population growth rates exceeded 2 percent during the 2002-2006 period, which was attributed to high rates of natural increase and immigration. This rate declined somewhat during the subsequent 2006-2011 period, with an average growth rate of 1.6 percent.Ireland ranks fifth in the world in terms of gender equality. In 2011, Ireland was ranked the most charitable country in Europe, and second most charitable in the world. Contraception was controlled in Ireland until 1979, however, the receding influence of the Catholic Church has led to an increasingly secularized society . In 1983, the Eighth Amendment recognized “the right to life of the unborn”, subject to qualifications concerning the “equal right to life” of the mother. The passage of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantees the right to have an abortion performed abroad, and the right to learn about “services” that are illegal in Ireland, but legal abroad. The prohibition on divorce in the 1937 Constitution was repealed in 1995 under the Fifteenth Amendment. Divorce rates in Ireland are very low compared to European Union averages while the marriage rate in Ireland is slightly above the European Union average. Capital punishment is constitutionally banned in Ireland, while discrimination based on age, gender, sexual orientation, marital or familial status, religion and race is illegal.Ireland became the first country in the world to introduce an environmental levy for plastic shopping bags in 2002 and a public smoking ban in 2004. Recycling in Ireland is carried out extensively and Ireland has the second highest rate of packaging recycling in the EuropeanUnion.___________下一题(1/1)Section ⅡChinese-English TranslationTranslate the following passage into English .第2题不冲突不对抗,是构建中美新型大国关系的必要前提。

CATTI三级口译实务真题汇总(2015-2018年)CATTI三级口译实务真题汇总2018年5月CATTI三级口译实务真题回忆版Part 1 Dialogue Interpreting我看到一所学校门口聚集了很多的人,还有警察在维持秩序,很多焦急的家长在等待,发生了什么事?这是中国的高考,就是每年六月份在全国范围内举行的大型考试。
我听说过这个考试。
在美国,我们也有类似的考试,不过我们可以至少考两次,而且可以用最好的成绩去申请大学。
但是,中国的高考好像很有竞争性。
是的,高考竞争性非常大。
对有高中生的家庭来说,高考是一件非常重要的事,全家都会为此准备。
他们甚至在考试前一天就到考场附近租旅馆住。
我听说中国南方有一所非常有名的高中叫毛坦厂中学,有中国高考工厂之称,里面有很多去年落榜的复习生。
虽然高考非常具有竞争性,但在中国,无论你身份、地位如何,是否有钱,高考都非常重要。
对中国千百万人的年轻人来说,高考是进入大学最公平的途径。
Part 2 English to Chinese Interpreting(以下为中文回忆版内容)爱尔兰因位置得天独厚,位于欧洲大陆边缘,距离欧洲大陆较远,爱尔兰的风没有受到工业化的欧洲大陆的影响,因此拥有清洁的水源和空气。
爱尔兰牧场的理念是动物与自然和谐相处,奶农们都严格遵守生产流程和品质规定,非常看重爱尔兰奶制品已经取得的好名声。
最近,中国官方派遣代表团视察爱尔兰的乳制品工厂,给了很高的评价。
中国国内立刻掀起了对爱尔兰乳制品的追求狂潮,尤其是中国新生父母,他们对婴儿奶粉需求很大。
爱尔兰乳制品品质高,安全性好,中国成爱尔兰第二大乳制品出口市场。
近些年来,很多中国公司对爱尔兰进行了投资,投资数额有很大变化(具体的数字没记太清楚)。
他们主要投资两个领域:一是信息通信技术(ICT)领域,全球前10的信息和通信技术公司有9家在爱尔兰投资,因此吸引了大量的中国投资者。
另一方面是金融业,中国希望能与爱尔兰方面在金融领域深化合作。

Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiledunderground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that windstoward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with theslogan “Coal =Jobs.”犹他州东部有一个矿产丰富的小镇,那里的人们祖祖辈辈都以采煤为生。

CATTI三级口译英译汉真题2015年11月_真题-无答案
CATTI三级口译英译汉真题2015年11月(总分100,考试时间120分钟)English-Chinese Translation1. AMBASSADOR BAUCUS: Thank you so very much Mr. Tian Jian. I deeply appreciate that introduction. I want to also thank the tour director who gave us a wonderful tour through the museum. Bai Hong and Yang Fuquan, Vice President of the local Academy of Social Science who I just met, as well as Lu Tianyun, Director General of the Foreign Affairs Office up here at Kunming.Before I go any farther I’d like to introduce my wife, Melodee Hanes. I have a very good time when I’m in groups introducing Mel and telling everybody this is my “Tai tai, wo de tai, tai.”Sometimes she says maybe the word should be a little bit more formal. That “tai tai”is a little informal, but I don’t care. She’s my “tai tai.”I wanted to tell you how pleased we are, Mel and I, to be here at Kunming, for many many reasons. One is your wonderful perfect weather. It is truly heaven. When I next see President Xi I’m going to suggest he move the nation’s capital from Beijing to Kunming.Now all of you here in Kunming may not like that. With all the subway construction here, which is delaying traffic, you probably don’t want all these presidential motorcades in Kunming blocking traffic even further. So I suspect that you would not be too happy with the nation’s capital moving to Kunmi ng.But, thank you so much. It’s so good to be here.This is our first visit, Mel and I. I’m so impressed, as I mentioned. And we like Kunming so much that during lunch today we **paring notes and asking each other, when can we return? We’re thinking of probably returning sometime this summer.You might ask, why are we here today at the Kunming Museum? The answer is very simple. Let me start with a story about an American pilot named Lieutenant Robert H. Mooney. Lieutenant Mooney, as you all know, it’s a story well known here in Kunming, Lieutenant Mooney made the ultimate sacrifice. He and other Flying Tiger pilots from the United States 14th Air Force were assigned to protect an airfield in Dali from enemy bombers. The airfield was jointly built by U.S. and Chinese workers. In the battle to protect the airfield, Lieutenant Mooney shot down at least two enemy planes before his plane was damaged in a dogfight near the village of Xiangyun. And rather than eject, his plane was very damaged, it was clear the plane was going down. But rather than eject and save himself which would mean that his plane would crash into the village, Lieutenant Mooney did something else. He steered the plane away from Xiangyun as villagers watched below. But by the time he finally ejected, you know the story, it was too late. But by sparing the village, Lieutenant Mooney died of injuries he suffered when he jumped out of his plane but the parachute didn’t open. He therefore as a consequence died. He gave his life for the people of Xiangyun village.After his death the people of Xiangyun, many of you here, dedicated a monument to him at the crash site. To this day many villagers here at Xiangyun tidy up Lieutenant Mooney’s monument each year on Tomb Sweeping Day. Why? To express their gratitude for his sacrifice.Lieutenant Mooneywas just one of 2,590 American service men and women who died in China during the Second World War. Throughout the war, U.S. combatants in China were touched by the kindness and bravery of their Chinese partners. Brave men and women provided assistance and shelter to thousands of American airmen whose planes were shot down for a cause they shared. In fact over at the museum just an hour or so ago we saw many photographs of Chinese helping give care and assistance to airmen and soldiers who were injured in the war.People from both countries sacrificed greatly. I might say too at lunch today I sat next to Mr. Sun Guansheng who I think is head of the Flying Tigers Association here in Kunming and we s hared many stories together. He’s a very perceptive man. I’m deeply impressed with him. And we talked about history, beginning with Sun Yat-Sen and Whampoa the development of the academy that trained soldiers, and Claire Chennault and Stillwell and others who were here. I just want to complement him. He’s quite a wonderful man.The Second World War has a personal meaning for me and for my wife Mel. We are both children of World War II veterans. My father served in the U.S. Air Force not here, but in Euro pe. Mel’s father was here in China. He was a United States pilot. He loved to tell stories of the missions that he flew just north of Shanghai. I’ve heard many stories about how proud he was to fight alongside the Chinese during the war. In fact Mel has a piece of silk that he carried with him when he was flying in battle over China. The silk includes a picture of the American flag as well as language in Chinese basically saying, “I’m an American. I’m here flying to help China against the Japanese. And if you find me please help and assist me and give me care.”It was a silk message he carried with him in case he was shot down.So it’s clear that Chinese and Americans performed heroic acts of bravery. Both sides sacrificed and demonstrated just **mitted our two countries were to helping each other in a moment of need. Bonds like these are lasting. We can’t forget the bravery and sacrifices of men and women on both sides that came together for a common cause.Our history here and our partnership in the war fighting fascism is really a foundation for us to build on. It reminds me very much of the importance of this relationship. That is the relationship between China and the United States. I think it’s the most important relationship between any two countries in the world today and it’s up to us to work hard to make sure we get that, make that right. The only way to do that is to work together as we did in critical moments in the past.The cooperation between our two countries is only one part of the efforts we have to undertake. We have to also work with others to make sure this world is a better place than the one we found. Since our victory over fascism 70 years ago Asia has enjoyed unprecedented peace and prosperity. If you pause and think about it just a few minutes, it’s incredible how much Asia has grown and prospered since the end of World War II.The Japan of 1945 is gone. Today’s Japan is a democracy, a close U.S. ally and a critical economic partner to both our countries. In fact, steady ties between China and Japan help ensure a stable regional security environment that enables East Asia to flourish. Healthy relations between China and Japan are good for all.That’s why, frankly, we Americans welcomed the Four Point Agreement that President Xi and Prime Minister Abe reached just this last November, and it’s why we encourage further involvement and the cooperative effort between China and Japan. It’s helpful for both countries and also for the rest of the world.Across the world, countries that once fought against each other now work together on many of the world’s most pressing issues. So much more can be accomplished when they work together.The world is growing smaller and many of the threats we face today are becoming more urgent. The clock is ticking. We live at a critical moment in history. Today China and the United States face great challenges together onmany fronts. North Korea and Iranian nuclear programs, violent extremism, pandemic diseases like Ebola, food security, environmental protection and climate change. These are just a few of the many issues where our futures are intertwined, interrelated--the U.S. and China and the rest of the world.I’ve had this job now representing the United States in China about ten months. I love it. It’s the best job in the world. But in my one year here, I must tell you just how deeply heartened I am that our two countries are working so closely together and I sense becoming even closer together.First of all, our economic relations are very deep and contribute to prosperity in both countries. Nearly 11 billion RMB worth of goods and services flow between our countries every day. Our total annual bilateral trade reached about 3.7 trillion Renminbi in 2013. That’s about 700 million iPhones or to say it another way, about five times what it was when China joined the WTO back 13 years ago. And there’s more. Members of our militaries are working side by side in Africa to bring Ebola under control and to counter piracy in the Gulf of Aden.It’s really quite encouraging. In many respects it brings opportunities but it also brings responsibilities. Last November I was with President Obama in Beijing, with him and with President Xi when they made that very historic agreement on carbon emissions. That was an historic agreement. Stop and think about it. Our two countries agreed to limit, actually limit, carbon emissions by a certain date, setting a precedent for all countries around the world to also follow suit and set their own carbon emission limitation dates so that together all countries of the world can affect climate change. As you know, the next major step is in Paris later this year and if we work very hard together we can lead the world in making sure that the Paris Conference is successful.President Obama and President Xi also made a landmark announcement on visas that can help nearly everyone in this room. They’ve extended the validity of business and tourist visas to ten years, and extended student and exchange visas to five years. We’ve already issued tens of thousands of new visas since that announcement just two months ago. That was last year.So I ask you--join me this year at the 70th Anniversary of the end of World War II to honor Lieutenant Mooney and all that we have achieved together. Let’s look ahead together to address the challenges facing our two countries and the world. The sacrifices here, here in Kunming, showed that when the United States and China work together we can accomplish great things.That work continues. That’s why I’m here with you. We have a responsibility to get this relationship between our two countries right. It’s rewarding and it’s also, I might add, a lot of fun. So onward, we move together. And I thank you very much for letting me be here with you. Thank you.。

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。

2015汉译英catti3英译汉翻译实务真题和答案.
天柱县位于贵州省东部,是川渝黔通两广、江浙的重要门户,素有“黔东第一关”、“中国重晶石之乡”、“贵州高原黄金城”之称。
”.天柱县总面积2201平方公里,辖16个乡镇,326个行政村,总人口41万余人,以侗、苗族为主的少数民族人口占98.3%, 是贵州省少数民族比例最多的县份之一。
天柱蕴藏着丰富的自然资源。
气候温和,土壤肥沃,是贵州重要粮食生产基地,享有“黔东粮仓”的美誉。
当地年产烟叶2.6万担(一担=50公斤,是中国烟叶主产区。
这里林业资源丰富,森林面积达185万亩(一亩=1/15公顷,覆盖率达56%,是贵州十大林业基地县之一。
重晶石、黄金、煤等矿产资源也十分丰富。
天柱乘西部大开发的东风,迅速崛起。

“生态环境优美,文化教育优越,综合服务优化,人居条件优良,经济充满活力”的新天柱呈现在世人面前。
此次的汉译英语段命题与以往有些不同,以前都是时政语段或企业介绍,如今的命题有所变化。
该文是一篇说明文,介绍了贵州天柱县丰富的自然资源。
但不论怎么变化,万变不离其宗,我们在翻译课上所讲的内容完全可以应用到该语篇的翻译中去。
下面我们来看看此篇文章是怎样运用我们所学的知识和技巧的吧。
文章的第一段正是我们在翻译课上反复强调的7大成分不做主句处理的一个典型实例。
我们着重讲授了如下7个成分一般情况下不在英语句子中充当主要句子成分,而是处理为附带或次要成分,这样才能够将英语的语句处理得错落有致,层次分明。
7大成分包括:历史,文化,人口,地理位置,创建时间,占地面积以及对主语的基本界定。
第一段中涉及“地理位置”,“对主语的基本界定”。
按照我们所讲的方法,把地理位置放在句首作为独立结构,然后出现主语,再连接对主语的基本界定,即同位语短语,最后是主句。
Located in eastern Guizhou Province, Tianzhu County, an important gateway to Provinces of Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang from Sichuan Province, Chongqing and Guizhou Province, is known to the world as “the First Pass in Ea stern Guizhou”, “the Land of Barite in China” and “the Gold Town on the Guizhou Plateau.”文章的第二段出现了7大成分中的“占地面积”和“人口”,因此,我们把该段的语序适当调整一下,先译“占地面积”,然后出现主语,后面紧跟同位语,即对主语的基本界定,最后是主句。

英语三级口译考试真题详解
英语三级口译考试真题详解及备考策略**Introduction**The English Interpretation Level 3 exam is a crucial milestone for interpreters aiming to establish a solid foundation in their career. This exam not only tests the interpreter's linguistic proficiency but also their ability to convey the intended meaning, tone, and context of the source language accurately and promptly. In this article, we will delve into the details of a real Level 3 Interpretation exam, providing insights into the exam format, content, and strategies for effective preparation. **Exam Format and Content**The English Interpretation Level 3 exam typically consists of three sections: listening comprehension, interpretation, and translation.1. **Listening Comprehension**: This section tests the candidate's ability to understand and interpret spoken English, often in a simulated real-world context. Listeners are required to quickly grasp the key points, understand the speaker's tone and intent, and prepare for thesubsequent interpretation. 2. **Interpretation**: In this section, candidates are presented with a spoken passage in English and are required to interpret it into their native language, or vice versa. This demands not only linguistic proficiency but also a high level of comprehension and the ability to convey the original meaning faithfully. 3.**Translation**: This section involves translating awritten passage from English to the candidate's native language, or vice versa. This tests the candidate's ability to translate accurately, maintaining the original tone and context.**Strategies for Effective Preparation**1. **Build a Solid Language Foundation**: Interpreters need to have a strong command of both English and their native language. This involves vocabulary, grammar, and syntax. Regular practice, reading, and listening to native speakers are crucial.2. **Practice Interpretation Skills**: Interpreting requires more than just language proficiency.It involves understanding the context, tone, and intent of the speaker.

Each one is followed by several questions about it. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write tile letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Since a gigantic Sainsbury is my local corner shop, I have a purseful of those coupons: "Here′s £l. 45 off your next visit", etc. But lately I′ve felt 1 deserve another voucher: "Here′s a tax rebate on the cash you pay our low-paid workers so they can subsist. " The chances are they couldn′t get by without you. A survey of Sainsbury employees by Unite last year found that 60% relied upon government working tax credits to top up their salaries. Even so, in the previous six months, a third had resorted to borrowing money to settle their bills. Low pay is always seen as a leftie, bleeding-heart issue. Poor oppressed workers. Aux barricades! Rather it should raise the blood pressure of every taxpayer.The constant conniptions of supermarkets competing formarket share, discounting their rivals, fighting off the German upstarts Aldi and Lidl, distract from the fact that they are vastly wealthy. Sainsbury′s underlying profits for 2012-13 were £758 million: these have trebled in a decade. Who could begrudge Sainsbury′s new CEO Mike Coupe his £900,000 basic salary, if only he paid all his 157,000 retail staff enough to live on without you and me chipping in? But he doesn′t and, bizarrely, no one is inclined to make him.Voters abhor a high welfare bill or the notion that benefits arc rising faster than wages. But if the chancellor wanted to take £300 a year from every low-paid household, £490 from families with children, could he not at least have added: "I call upon our friends in business to make up the difference: to help cut the welfare bill, by paying all their employees a living wage. " Because the problem is not just soaring welfare but stagnating wages. For the first time in British history, the majority of those classified in poverty already have jobs. In the last decade, food bills have increased by 44% , energy costs more than doubled, but even now that the economy has rallied, wages have barely picked up. Now 5. 2 million of the workforce are paid below a rate at which decent life is sustainable. And since, without government support, families on minimum wage would barely be able to feed their children, in-work benefits cost taxpayers £28 billion a year. During the Tory and Labour conferences, much was said about "political disconnect" —theangry distrust voters feel towards the major Westminster parties. It was ascribed to ideological differences on Europe. But deep down, it′s about money, stupid. Life is a trudge and people see no one capable of lightening their step. The idea that prosperity should be shared, increased productivity linked towages, fell apart in the 1980s. As Warren Buffett said recently, the class war was won "by my class, the rich class". Employees know that even low-paid jobs are precious, that if they contemplate something as audaciously retro as striking, a pool of labour could rush to take their place.Companies relish their upper hand, play the austerity card during pay rounds even now times are better. When the retailer Next was asked why, despite record profits, its wages were still below the living wage, it replied that since 30 people applied for every job advertised, how could it be paying too little? While the executive googles ski-breaks in Verbier, the cleaner emptying his bin walks to work to save on bus fares. The low-paid don′t merely have less stuff: they have less stable relationships and weaker health. Are their struggles invisible to those who pay their terrible salaries, or do they not care?I was encouraged to read in the report by the Living Wage Commission that not all lack heart. Sir John Bond, then chairman of HSBC, was moved by a speech from a Canary Wharf cleaner. Both then introduced the living wage. Indeed Guy Stallard of KPMG, whose company has paid it since 2006, says staff turnover is lower and morale up. Give people the means to be fully human and they will be loyal. Now eight companies on the FTSE 100 index pay the living wage. But in retail, which has the biggest proportion of low-paid workers, not a single high street name has signed up. These days our only political muscle is as consumers, choosing Fairtrade, making ethical investments. And there would be great kudos for the first of the big four supermarkets who stopped sitting on its mega-profits while adding staff wage bills to the welfare tab.第41题Why does the author say that low pay of supermarket workers "should raise the blood pressure of every taxpayer"(para.1)?A.Because the low-paid workers would pay less income tax.B.Because the tax office would give them more tax credits.C.Because the supermarket employees could only get by with customers.D.Because taxpayers would have to pay more for their in-work benefits.第42题What does the author imply when she says that "the majority of those classified in poverty already have jobs" for the first time in British history(para. 3)?A.Unemployment remains a major issue in the U. K.B.Employment is the key to eradicate poverty.C.Instead of unemployment, low wages become the major issue.D.Social welfare is always connected to employees′ income.第43题The author introduced Warren Buffet in paragraph 4 to illustrate that______.A.a company′s success is mainly attributable to its top executivesB.workers′ wages are no longer closely related to increased productivityC.in the Western world today the rich people win the war against the poorD.people with low pay should not resort to striking第44题What is the argument of the retailer Next?A.As too many people applied for every job advertised, the pay could not be low.B.Record profits have already shown that workers got their living wage.C.If fewer people apply for jobs advertised, then they will consider raising salaries.D.The retailer has to play the austerity card even in better time.第45题Which of the following best shows the author′s attitude towards the issue of supermarkets employees′ low wages?A.Indifferent, neutral, and matter-of-fact.B.Sympathetic, argumentative, and suggestive.C.Vehement, antagonistic, and opposing.D.Political, negotiating, and diplomatic.上一题下一题(46~50/共20题)SECTION 2 READING TESTDirections: In this section you will read several passages. Each one is followed by several questions about it. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write tile letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.When young college graduates decide where to move, they are not just looking at the usual suspects, like New York, Washington and San Francisco. Other cities are increasing their share of these valuable residents at an even higher rate and have reached a high overall percentage, led by Denver, San Diego, Nashville, Salt Lake City and Portland, Ore. , according to a reportpublished Monday by City Observatory, a new think tank. And as young people continue to spurn the suburbs for urban living, more of them are moving to the very heart of cities. The number of college-educated people age 25 to 34 living within three miles of city centers has surged, up 37 % since 2000.Some cities are attracting young talent while their overall population falls, like Pittsburgh and New Orleans. And in a reversal, others that used to be magnets, like Atlanta and Charlotte, are struggling to attract them at the same rate. Even as Americans over all have become less likely to move, young, college educated people continue to move at a high clip—about a million cross state lines each year. Where they end up provides a map of the cities that have a chance to be the economic powerhouses of the future. "There is a very strong track record of places that attract talent becoming places of long-term success," said economist Edward Glaeser, "The most successful economic development policy is to attract and retain smart people and then get out of their way. "The economic effects reach beyond the work the young people do, according to economist Enrico Moretti, For every college graduate who takes a job in an innovation industry, he found, five additional jobs are eventually created in that city. "It′s a type of growth that feeds on itself—the more young workers you have, the more companies are interested in locating their operations in that area and the more young people are going to move there," he said. About 25% more young college graduates live in major metropolitan areas today than in 2000, which is double the percenta ge increase in cities′total population. All the 51 biggest metros except Detroit have gained young talent, either from net migration to the cities or from residentsgraduating from college. It is based on data from the American Community Survey and written by Joe Cortright, an economisl who runs City Observatory and Impresa, a consulting firm on regional economies.Denver has become one of the most powerful magnets. Its population of the young and educated is up 47% since 2000, nearly double the percentage increase in the New York metro area. And 7. 5% of Denver′s population is in this group, more than the national average of 5. 2%. Denver has many of the tangible things young people want, economists say, including mountains, sunshine and jobs in booming industries like tech. Perhaps more important, it also has the ones that give cities the perception of cultural cool. "With lots of cultural things to do and getting away to the mountains, you can have the work-play balance more than any place I′ve ever lived," said Colleen Douglass, 27, a video producer at a start-up Craftsy. "There′s this really thriving start-up scene here, and the sense we can be in a place we love and work at a cool new company. "Other cities that have had significant increases in a young and educated population and that now have more than their share include San Diego, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Nashville, Salt Lake City and Portland, Ore. At the other end of the spectrum are the cities where less than 4% of the population are young college graduates. Among those, Detroit lost about 10% of this group, while Providence gained just 6% and Memphis 10%. Atlanta, one of the biggest net gainers of young graduates in the 1990s, has taken a sharp turn. Its young, educated population has increased just 2. 8% since 2000, significantly less than its overall population. It is suffering the consequences of overenthusiasm for new houses and new jobs before the crash, economists say.The effects of the migration of the young are most vividly seen in urban cores. In 1980, young adults were 10% more likely than other people to live in these areas, according to the report from City Observatory, which is sponsored by the Knight Foundation. In 2010, they were 51% more likely, and those with college degrees were 126% more likely. The trend extends to all the largest metropolitan areas except Detroit and Birmingham. Of the most populous metropolitan areas, Washington and Philadelphia showed the largest increases of young adults living there, at 75 and 78%. Washington also had the largest share of young college graduates over all, at 8. 1%. "They want somelhing exciting, culturally fun, involving a lot of diversity—and their fathers′suburban lifestyle doesn′t seem to be all that thrilling," Mr. Glaeser said. How many eventually desert the city centers as they age remains to be seen, but demographers predict that many will stay. They say that could bolster city economies, lead to decreases in crime and improvements in public schools. If the trends continue, places like Pittsburgh and Buffalo could develop a new reputation— as role models for resurgence.第46题Which of the following can best serve as the title for the passage?A.More Young People arc Spurning the Suburbs for Urban LivingB.Urban Migration of College Graduates is ExpandingC.Innovation Industry Offers College Graduates More Urban PostsD.An Increasing Number of Young Adults Live in Washington and Philadelphia第47题The expression "(to)get out of their way"(para. 2)can best be paraphrased as______.A.to offer college graduates jobs in innovation industryB.to give full play to their initiativesC.to help them find additional jobs in city areasD.to study the migration trends of college-educated people第48题All of the following are true about City Observatory EXCEPT that______.A.it is a think tank newly establishedB.it is not a consulting firm on urban migrationC.it is sponsored by the Knight FoundationD.it is a consulting firm on urban migration第49题Denver has become one of the most powerful magnets. Which of the following does not contribute to this?A.Denver has the most colleges and universities in the region.B.Denver offers jobs in booming industries such as high tech.C.Denver owns a free and diversified cultural environment.D.Denver has many attractions, including mountains and sunshine.第50题What is the purpose of tracking the migration of young college graduates in America?A.To establish the successful economic development policy.B.To compare the migration of young people and that of Americans over all.C.To find out the relationship between young migration and long-term urban success.D.To set up role models for resurgence of major metropolitancities.上一题下一题(51~55/共20题)SECTION 2 READING TESTDirections: In this section you will read several passages. Each one is followed by several questions about it. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write tile letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People moved quickly in April to cancel plans to bestow a lifetime achievement award on Donald Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers and a longtime NAACP contributor, who was caught on tape scolding a female friend for posting online photos with black friends. Many people were surprised to learn the civil rights organization ever meant to praise a man with a history of discriminating against blacks. They shouldn′t have been. In 2009 the NAACP′s Los Angeles chapter honored Sterling with its President′s Award, as he agreed to pay $ 2. 8 million to settle federal civil charges that he unfairly treated blacks at L. A. apartment buildings he owns. Sterling is one of several individuals and institutions with reputations in need of repair who′ve received accolades or favorable treatment from the NAACP, at times before or after large donations. At the May 15 gala where Sterling was supposed to pick up his prize, the group′s L. A. chapter will honor executives from Wal-Mart Stores and FedEx, both major contributors embroiled in long-running controversies involving allegations of employment discrimination. The companies deny the allegations.The group′s financial disclosures show each company gave the NAACP $ 200,000- $ 999,999 in 2011. That year the U. S. Supreme Court backed Walmart in a major employment discrimination lawsuit brought against the company by women employees. The ruling made it harder to mount class actions alleging discrimination by employers. FedEx has settled many race discriminationclaims, including a $ 53 million payout to truck drivers in 2007. The NAACP also accepted more than $ 1 million from Bank of America in 2011, the same year the bank agreed to pay a record $ 335 million in a federal lawsuit alleging predatory lending to minorities. Spokesmen for Walmart and FedEx said their companies have long supported the NAACP solely because of i ts good work. Bank of America didn′t respond to requests for comment. Peter Dreier, director of the urban and environmental policy department at Occidental College in Los Angeles, says donating to the NAACP has become a painless way for corporations accused of racism to ensure a measure of sympathy, or at least silence, from the civil rights group, whose leaders rarely criticize the misbehavior of those who give it money. "The NAACP, with its glittering history of incredible activism, has become an empty shell," he says.The NAACP isn′t the only organization to spruce up big companies′ reputations. "It′s part of every communication specialist′s playbook to align clients who have particular issues with nonprofits that are strong in those issues," says crisis communications strategist Sam Singer. At times it can backfire when the relationship between sinner and redeemer seems a little too convenient—or has the whiff of quid pro quo. Environmentalists have taken the World Wildlife Fund to task foraccepting money from companies that use a lot of water and other natural resources, including Coca-Cola, then lending its respected panda logo to their corporate sustainability campaigns.The NAACP hasn′t been loo picky about where its donations come from. The late Benjamin Hooks once joked that the only thing "tainted" about tobacco industry money was "there ain′t enough of it," according to tobacco industry documents from lawsuits against cigarette makers. A 2009 resolution condemning the industry for targeting blacks—who suffer an inordinate health toll from smoking died without a floor vote at the NAACP′s centennial convention, says Carol McGruder, co chair of the African American Tobacco Control Leadership Council. "When you let unethical corporations associate themselves with our organizations, it makes them look like they′re doing something for our community, and they′re not," McGruder says. "The harm they do to our people is not offset by their corporate giving. " The NAACP′s interim president and CEO, Lorraine Mil ler, wrote in an e-mail that money "docs not buy corporations a free pass if their actions run afoul of our mission. We do not hesitate to stand up to, speak out against or even sue our corporate contributors when we differ on an issue of civil rights. "In 2009 the NAACP did sue a contributor. Wells Fargo, over alleged predatory lending practices targeting blacks, allegations Wells Fargo denied. But the group dropped the case in 2010, saying it would instead "work constructively" with the bank. Wells Fargo announced it would donate $ 2. 5 million a year for five years to fund an NAACP financial literacy campaign. "The more we learned about each other, the more we decided to collaborate," says Wells Fargo Senior Vice President Gigi Dixon. The federal governm ent didn′t let the bank off so easily. In 2012,Wells Fargo agreed to pay $ 184 million to settle allegations that it steered black borrowers into subprime loans.第51题Which of the following can best serve as the title for the passage?A.Donald Sterling, A Longtime Contributors Rejected by NAACPB.For Donors, the NAACP Forgives and ForgetsC.The NAACP Fights Employment Discrimination LawsuitD.Reputations of NAACP′s Donors are in Need of Repair第52题。

英语三级笔译实务试卷(样题)及参考答案
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。

The topic for today′s lecture is "The ′Click and Go′Generation" which, of course, refers to today′s teenagers. As you canrecall, we used to have just one telephone and one TV in the living room, and there was no such thing as a home computer. Nowadays, all those items can be found in most teenagers′ bedrooms. Teens can have private conversations behind closed doors, and they can turn the TV on to any channel they like. If they are curious, they will use the Internet to explore places they never imagined existed, get a lot of information, and talk to people far away. Having this equipment in their own rooms means an increase in privacy for the kids. As a result, many parents complain that teenagers are becoming too individualistic and too isolated from the family. On the other hand, teenagers think that parents should respect their privacy. Psychologists say that if the teens lock their bedroom door, parents should just keep on knocking. Parents have the right to know who their sons and daughters are with and what they are doing. But parents must be flexible, too. Some parents are very strict and try to keep control of their kids. But in the end, that d oesn′t work, because it makes teens rebellious and unhappy. The more unhappy teenagers are, the more they want to be left alone. Some mayeven turn to the Internet and give up all social encounters with family members and live in cyberspace.Today′s teenag ers may be "click and go," but they are also the most educated, and the most globally aware, generation. They realize the importance of studying and getting a job. If you ask teenagers today about the future, most of them will tell you that they are optimistic. But teenagers will be teenagers.

I met her on Friday at 4 : 00 P. M. in her office. We spent an hour talking about what party she was going to, what she was going to do this weekend, and so on. We only briefly talked about the purpose of my visit, which was to purchase a carpet. At first, this drove me a little crazy because I wanted to get the carpet and get out of there.An hour later, we went down to the showroom to look at some carpet. I agreed to one of the first carpets I looked at, and then we proceeded to talk about everything but purchasing the carpet. She was really nice. It was like we had known each otherall our lives.We finally agreed on a very low price, and it was a done deal. Well almost. After we agreed on the price, she said, "Oh, by the way. You only need sixty square yards, but you have to buy the whole roll to get it at that price. " There was about seventy-two square yards in the roll. I agreed to everything she said.

You know, something tells me we′re not going to get it.W: Oh, really? What makes you think that? It′s not like you to be so pessimistic.M: Well, for one thing, I mean the last bidding; we′ve gone in way too hi gher. My guess is that they′ll accept a lower tender.W: Mm. By the way, have some more lobster—there′s plenty of it in this dinner party, and it′s so delicious.M: Thanks. I think it′s one of the best dinner parties I′ve attended for years. I enjoy, in particular, those wonderful seafood.W: Me too. Going back to the contract, I don′t reckon price is really the issue.M: No? W: No. I mean, we′re talking long-term here. This is a seven-year project, maybe longer. So, reliability is what they′ll be looking for, if you ask me. They′ll pay more for that.M: You′ve got to be joking. This is one of the most price-sensitive markets in the world. The way I see it, we′ll be doing well just to get part of the contract.

That′s OK. I don′t want to spoil your fun, and it′s my duty to tell how to avoid putting yourselves and your property at risk. For all the girls here, if you′re in the bar or disco then make very sure that your handbag or purse is where you can keep an eye on it. Not on the floor or on another chair. If you want to dance, ask a friend to take care of it or take it with you.Um, for the gentlemen; don′t walk around with your wallet stuck in the back pocket of your trousers. It′s easy meat for a pick-pocket, believe me. As you are all foreigners here, don′t carry a lot of cash with you and the same goes for passports, identity cards and other important documents. For your own personal security, it′s always better to go home by bus or taxi if it′s late. If you have to walk home late at night go with some friends. If you′re alone, stick to well-lit areas. Should you see a group of people looking for trouble, cross over the road and, if you really think someone is going to bother you, bang onthe door of the nearest house and ask for help. Oh, another word of warning: Don′t hitch lifts. It′s asking for trouble. If a car stops to ask for information, just keep well clear of the door so you can see what the p eople want.

I′d like to get your opinion about the news.M: OK. Well, I get most of my news on the Internet, but I read papers, too.W: And what do you think about the news in the newspaper?M: What I notice about the papers is that the news is really depressing, especially the main stories—you have bombings, and accidents, and people killing people. I find more and more that the news in the United States is getting focused on negative things. It′s always a disaster of some sort.W: So you think it′s very negative.M: Yeah, and there′s something else. I like to read about international news, but it seems that people here aren′t really that interested in it. I read somewhere, I can′t remember—that it′s a prestige thing, to cover the inter national news.W: And you don′t think people in the United States like international news?M: No. I don′t. But because I′ve lived in so many countries around the world, I am interested in international news. The news in Korea is from everywhere—the United States, Europe, Japan, China. Anyway, what I like about newspapers are the arts and culture sections. And the human interest stories, which can be really uplifting. I like to read about people. For example, there was a story about some crime in the park, b ut now they′re examining that case again, and it turns out that the five young people who they thought did it might be innocent, actually. It was shocking that the judicial system had failed in the beginning, but I′m glad they finally found out that those young people were innocent.W: So you liked that story.M: Yeah, I mean, that kind of news, people could actually read it and feel positive, like you could really improve the system, orwhatever—compared to news that′s depressing and you feel helpless—you can′t do anything about it.第47题:A.The news is not very interesting.B.The news is uplifting.C.The news is largely positive.D.The news is really depressing.参考答案:D[听力原文]What′s Brown′s opinion about the news in the newspaper?第48题:A.Because he likes to know more about foreign cultures.B.Because he is going to work in other countries soon.C.Because he has lived in many countries in the world.D.Because his job is closely linked with this type of news.参考答案:C[听力原文]Why is Brown interested in international news?第49题:A.Arts and culture.B.International news.C.Crime investigation.D.Human interest stories.参考答案:C[听力原文]Brown likes several sections in newspapers. Which of the following is NOT one of these sections?第50题:A.The Internet is his main source of news.B.The news of disasters is of special interest to him.C.He is getting more and more focused on negative things.D.He gets most of his news from the newspapers.参考答案:A[听力原文]Which of the following statements is TRUE about Brown?C: Listening Translation Sectence Translation Directions:In this part of the test, you will hear 5 sentences in English.
