Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us the choice of brave resistance or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or to die.Our own, our country‘s honor, calls upon us for a vigorous and manly e xertion; and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us then rely on the goodness of our cause, and the aid of the Supreme Being, in whose hands victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble actions. The eyes of all our countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have the blessings and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the tyranny meditated against them. Let us animate and encourage each other, and show the whole world that a free man contending for liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.分析:① The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army.译文一:苍天之下,数/ 千百万我们的后代/ 尚未出生的人,命系/ 其命运将取决于我们这支军队的勇气和斗志/ 表现。

历年高级口译考题翻译部分精解第一套英译中Since Darwin, biologists have been-firmly convinced that nature works without plan or meaning, pursuing no aim by the direct road of design. But today we see that this conviction is a fatal error. Why should evolution, exactly as Darwin knew it and described it, be planless and irrational? Do not aircraft design engineers work, at precisely that point where specific calculations and plans give out, according to the same principle of evolution, when they test the serviceability of a great number of statistically determined forms in the wind tunnel, in order to choose the one that functions best? Can we say that there is no process of natural selection when nuclear physicists, through thousands of computer operations, try to find out which materials, in which combinations and with what structural form, are best suited to the building of an atomic reactor? They also practise no designed adaptation, but work by the principle of selection. But it would never occur to anyone to call their method planless and irrational.【参考译文】达尔文以后的生物学家们一直相信,大自然的运行是没有计划没有意义的,不会按照预先设定的途径实现任何目的。

2001 年9 月考题By the middle of this century, some two thirds of the world’s nation, with at least five billion people, will enjoy a standard of living, which only the advanced economies now have. Some three billion of these people will live in Asia. Collectively, the Asian Countries will have a larger economy than the rest of the world put together.The rest of the world will have to react to this millennial economic shift to Asia, and to the rising power of China. The rest of the world will be divided between the Euro-American countries, and the two big peripheral powers, Japan and Russia. Russia is a huge geographical country, with well educated people, and will eventually recover.In terms of nations, it will be a world of much greater economic equality. Although there will still be poor countries, most will be quite rich. Inside these nations there will be mass prosperity, but with a large minority in serious poverty, and a small number who are very rich.2002 年3 月考题Foundations are tax-free institutions that are created to give grants to both individuals and nonprofit organizations for activities that range from education, research, and the arts to support for the poor and the upkeep of exotic gardens and old mansions. They provide a means by which wealthy people and corporations can in effect decide how their tax payments will be spent, for they are based on money that otherwise would go to the government in taxes. From a small beginning at the turn of the century they have become a very important factor in shaping developments in higher education and the arts.Think tanks and university research institutes are nonprofit organizations that have been developed to provide settings for experts in various academic disciplines. In this way, they may devote their time to the study of policy alternatives free from theteaching and departmental duties that are part of the daily routine for most members of the academic community. Supported by foundation grants and government contracts, they are a major source of the new ideas that are discussed in the policy-formation groups.2006年3月英语中级口译真题As a scourge of the modern society, obesity has become the world's biggest public-health issue today--the main cause of heart disease, which kills more people these days than AIDS, malaria, war. Since the World Health Organization labeled obesity an "epidemic" in 2000, reports on its fearful consequences have come thick and Fast.Will public-health warnings, combined with media pressure, persuade people to get thinner, just as they finally put them off tobacco? Possibly. In the rich world, sales of healthier foods are booming and new figures suggest that over the past year Americans got very slightly thinner for the first time in recorded history. But even if Americans are losing a few ounces, it will be many years before the country solves the health problems caused by half a century's dining to excess. And, everywhere else in the world, people are still piling on the pounds. That's why there is now a consensus among doctors that governments should do something to stop them.2008年3月英语中级口译真题Imagine you have two candidates for a job. Their CVs are equally good, and they both give good interview. You cannot help noticing, though, that one is pug-ugly and the other is handsome. Are you swayed by their appearance?If you were swa yed by someone’s looks, would that be wrong? In the past, people often equated beauty with virtue and ugliness with vice.Even now, the expression “as ugly as sin”has not quite passed from the language. There is, of course, the equally famous expression “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”,to counter it. Most beholders agree what is beautiful-and modern biology suggests there is a good reason for that agreement. Biology also suggests that beauty may, indeed, be a good rule of thumb for assessing someone of either sex. Not an infallible one, and certainly no substitute for an in-depth investigation. But, nevertheless, an instinctive one, and one that is bound to contribute to the advantage of the physically well endowed.2008年9月英语中级口译真题In a slowing U.S. economy, job opportunities are shaped by uncertainty. As president of a small college, I am keenly aware of the job market that awaits this year’s graduates. The recent news that Bear Stearns was nullifying a few hundred job offers to business school students fits a pattern of corporate dow nsizing that isn’t lost on college campuses across the USA. But even with the darkening economic clouds, rays of good news await this year’s graduates. Sure, companies are laying off workers, but many are also looking for new talent, especially at the entry level.As more than a million entrants flood the job market, students should know that in a global marketplace, language skills will go a long way. So will flexibility. If a grad is ready to accept an entry-level job, give a little on job requirements and move if the company asks, chances are he’ll land a job. So despite the rising job losses, a new graduate should embrace the market as the first challenge of a long career.2000年3月英语中级口译真题Information and communications are central to modern society and organizations. One approach to understand the working environment is to consider an organization as a communications system. An organization that has open lines of communication with valid, honest information going up, down, and throughout the organization will be much more effective and a much better place to work than the organization thatattempts to restrict the flow of information or distort and deceive. When leadership attempts to keep workers in the dark, workers tend to become distrustful. This undermines their cooperation.It is easy to understand the value and importance of open, honest communications and valid information. Yet, few organizations are able to function in this manner. In the long run, poor communication will undermine the entire organization. Restricting communication and distorting information are symptoms of short-range thinking. We must avoid these stupid, short-sighted traps and constantly strive for and open communications system with objective information.参考答案:信息和交流对现代社会和机构是非常重要的。

The most important reason why people are moving to cities is economic. People are moving to the cities because that’s where they can find jobs and earn money. Until the 20th century, the major source of employment, full and part-time, was farming. Now, according to recent statistics, no more than 15 percent of all jobs are connected to farming. Jobs now are being created in information technology, manufacturing and service areas, such as tourism and financing, and all of these new jobs are in or around major cities.译文:世界人口大规模的城市化在世界范围内达到史无前例的规模。

Questions 1~5A leaked Barclays Bank document reveals that organization has become a byword for corporate greed explains why consumers hate it so much. Drawn up after unprecedented public relations disasters, the 25-page dossier tells how one of Britain's biggest and most valuable brand names became sullied. It says the attempt to introduce cash machine charges and the decision to close 170 rural branches this year marked the start of an annus horribilis.It con cludes that the bank's brand name now symbolises “a culture of greed”and consumers rightly regard many of its products as “substandard and expensive”. The secret report was ordered by Matthew Barrett, Barclays' chief executive, who was appointed just before the trouble started and has bodyguards to protect him when he leaves his office, “I feel very strongly that there is an urgent need to change the change the management of communications to help facilitate a more positive image, ”Barrett wrote in a memo copied to a select group of executives, including Sir Peter Middleton, the chairman, on May 8.The resulting document-Project Phoenix, PR and Image Restoration Plan 2000—was produced in June. It notes that public relations difficulties caused by the cash machine and closure announcements were “exacerbated” by a critical Treasury report on banking and the disclosure of Barclays executive pay scheme. The latter showed Barrett received £1. 3m for his first three months' work and had secured share options worth up to £30m.“The almost contemporaneous set of events resulted in a media feeding frenzy, ” says the report. “The group is seen by many...as the ringleader of anti-consumer measures. ”It concludes that the barrage of bad publicity has had “a significant impact”on Barclays brand image, It says the public regards the bank as “generating excessive profits”and creating a “culture of greed. ” Consumers view its products as “substandard and expensive, ”shareholders being put before customers and staff.The report admits: “Many of the group's products and services do not meet the demanding requirements of the Barclays brand and today's highly competitive financial services industry. ” Steps to rebuild t he Barclays name include a scheme to regain favour in areas where the bank has closed branches and lost influence as a result.Ten model employees will be parachuted into rural hot spots to charm local dignitaries. The agents, dubbed “the smoothies” by insiders, will be recruited of their “social skills”, says the report. They will be given titles conferring the “appropriate authority for liaising with MPs, MPs and the media”. They will infiltrate Rotary clubs and other groups to create a positive presence, saysources. “The (agent) would need to have strong communication skills, ”says the report, which puts a £1m total cost on the project. “(He) would be a modern manager with the ability to project the new face of financial services, always being on brand and on message. ”* Compiling a database of good news items so that one positive story about Barclays is released every month.* Making media-friendliness a “core skill requirement” for newly rec ruited senior executives, while ensuring that Barrett's future exposure to the media is “managed carefully. ”* Establishing “a proper audit trail for the receipt, review and release of all external and internal communications”to prevent leaks.Eddy Weatherill, director of the Independent Banking Advisory Service, attacked Barclays for tackling its problems with tricks rather than substance. “They need to do something about their image but cheap trickery will get them nowhere,” he said.1.According to the passage, Barclays Bank is facing difficulties because_____.(A) it is losing its profits(B) it has disclosed a secret report about its poor image(C) it is losing many of its best employees(D) it has received much criticism from its consumers2. The word “exacerbated ”in the sentence “It notes that relations difficulties. ..were …exacerbated‟” in the sentence “It notes that public relationsdifficulties...were …exacerbated‟ by a Treasury report on banking...”(Para. 3)can be replaced by_____.(A) improved (B) aggravated(C) criticised (D) questioned3. According to the passage, the new schemes suggested in Project Phoenix, PR and Image Restoration Plan 2000_____.(A) show that Barclays Bank fully realises its problems(B) are designed to change the Bank's image(C) meet stronger criticisms from the public(D) can never be realised as they are too radical4. Which of the following is implied, but not directly stated, in the “expression ensuring the Barrett's future exposure to the media is `managed carefully' ”?(A) His future exposure to the public must be positive.(B) His current image is greatly challenged.(C) His exposure to the public until now has often been negative.(D) His overall image is totally unacceptable to customers.5. According to Eddy Weatherill, Barclays Bank_____.(A) should take substantial measures to improve its image(B) is using its brand name to win more customers(C) is dealing with its problems seriously(D) always used tricks to cheat the publicQuestions 6~10At least 100 women have been mistakenly implanted with another couple's embryo or suffered the loss of embryos because of incompetence by infertilityclinics. An internal audit of the clinics has revealed often chaotic procedures which mean women's hopes of motherhood are dashed by the errors of clinic staff. Cases uncovered by The Sundays Times include:* Deborah Gray, 40, from Strangford Lough, Co Down, who was told that she had been implanted with the wrong embryo by mistake. She had an abortion.* Deborah Mia, 37, from Dagenham in Essex, whose five remaining frozen embryos were thrown away last year even though she had begun treatment for them to be implanted.* A woman who wasted eight years of her fertile life undergoing treatment at various London hospitals, before doctors realised she had a contraceptive coil in her womb.The cases have come to light following she had a contraceptive coil in her womb. Authority (HFEA), which polices the 118 IVF clinics in Britain. The report, based on a sample of 1,400 IVF treatments and 700 sperm donor inseminations, records disruptions to power supplies at “various ”centers, leading to loss of undisclosed numbers of fresh embryos in incubators. It also describes mistakes in data collection, including errors in the names of patients and their families, the inaccurate recording of skin colour of ethnic group of sperm donors, and the reporting of nonexistent pregnancies.Bert Stewart, a senior embryologist and former HFEA inspector who now works in Auckland, New Zealand, estimated that one in 1, 000 test-tube babiesmay have been implanted in the wrong, meaning at least 25 to 30 IVF children in Britain are being brought up by someone other th an their genetic mother. “IF you have a slack checking system, it might take a long time before you realise you have made a mistake. Good clinics have systems where you can spot a mistake straight away, ”he said.Another HFEA inspector estimated that at least 100 women had been affected by IVF errors. Gray sued the Royal Victoria hospital in Belfast for personal injury and damage after she discovered that she had been mistakenly implanted with an embryo from another woman. After the abortion she received an out-of-court settlement from the hospital. This weekend the Royal Victoria said procedures had been tightened up and there have been no similar mistakes.Findlay decided to abandon any further attempts to have a child after Leicester Bupa hospital threw away her last embryo following three failed attempts at IVF treatment. The embryo was allegedly part of a batch for which the labels were lost. Doctors decided to destroy the batch to avoid couples getting the wrong ones. “Losing it is like a bereavement, ”said Findlay, who received £2,000.Bupa said Findlay's case was a rare and unfortunate accident: “There was only one other woman's embryos involved in the loss and she accepted that the incident was an accident.” The cases have come to li ght following investigations into the scandal of the Hampshire Clinic in Basingstoke, Berkshire, where up to 40 women discovered that embryos believed to be in storage did not exist. PaulFielding, the embryologist involved, has been released on police bail during an inquiry into what went wrong. The HFEA denied that there were widespread problems in infertility clinics and said any errors were a tiny fraction of the total number of IVF treatments.6. The errors of IVF clinics include all of the following EXCEPT.(A) the implanting with the embryo from another woman(B) cruel treatment causing death of new-born babies(C) the throwing away of the frozen embryos(D) careless treatment leading to the loss of women's fertile life7. The word “polices”in the clause “which polices the 118 IVF clinics in Britain”(Pare.6) can be paraphrased as.(A) patrols (B) assists(C) controls (D) investigates8. According to the passage, in Britain there are probably women/families who have received IVF treatments.(A) between 25 and 30 (B) 1 400(C) fewer than 2 500 (D) about 30 0009. When Diana Findlay says “Losing it is like a bereavement,”(Para.9) she means that.(A) the destruction of the batch is equivalent to murdering(B) the loss of the labels of the batch is a big error(C) the killing of the test-tube baby is against the law(D) the throwing away of her last embryo equals the death of a family member10.Which of the following can NOT be true according to the passage?(A) Errors with IVF treatments are under investigation in New Zealand.(B) Mistakes in data collection can cause vital consequences.(C) Errors of IVF clinics have led to a number of lawsuits.(D) Some women will never become mothers due to errors of clinic staff. Questions 11~15The actual date on which Robert Thompson and Jon Venables will be released is now firmly in the hands of the parole board in the wake of Lord Woolf's controversial ruling. A special three-person panel, which must include a judge and psychiatrist, will have the difficult task of satisfying themselves that the two 18-year-olds no longer pose a danger to the public and that each has shown appropriate remorse for their killing of James Bulger.The parole board yesterday began its preparations, including drawing up a dossier on each of the teenagers, for oral hearings to be held in each of the local authority secuer units in the north of England where they are being held. Probation officers will talk to James Bulger's parents and ensure their views are included in each dossier. Each boy will be present at the “informal inquisitorial hearings”which will decide their future. At the same time, an application will be made by their lawyers next month in the high court before Dame Elizabeth Butler Sloss seeking new injunctions banning the media from disclosing details about them, even though they are now adults.If Dame Elizabeth decides to grant them this anonymity it will be the first time that child criminals have been given such protection since case of Mary Bellin 1968. The right to a private life enshrined in the newly incorporated European convention on human rights is bound to figure strongly in next month's case. Mary Bell was jailed at the age of 11 for the murder of two young children and served 12 years before her release. She managed to remain out of the public eye until two years ago when a book was published about her life and the Sun newspaper found her. She was subsequently given police protection.“A key element will be to ensure their safety and protection,” said Paul Cavadino of the National Association for the Care and Resettlement of Offenders, “Recent experience tells us that if they were to be named and shame d by the media, it would put them, and anyone else who resembles them, at grave risk of vigilante attacks.”As Lord Woolf observed, when he ruled yesterday that their further detention would not serve any constructive purpose, their release will not end their punishment. In fact their release on license is likely to mean that they will spend years under the supervision of the criminal justice system.But it will be the question of preserving their anonymity which will prove the most difficult. A new injunction protecting their privacy is likely to mean new names, new birth own lives sufficiently to be convincing. This new identity will apply not only to them but could also apply to members of their immediate family as well.It is highly unlikely that a positive parole board decision would lead to Thompson and Venables returning to Liverpool. Instead, they will be sent ot start new lives in a different part of England. A unique release and supervision plan will now be prepared to ensure that they can resettle into the outside world.The only people who will know their true identity will be a very tight circle of those directly involved in their continuing therapy and other programmes to ensure they do not offend again.Those who they go to work with or study with will not know who they are. However, there will be a police surveillance operation for both of them with a panic button in their homes in case a sudden problem arises. As to their future lives, Thompson is believed to have gained 5 GCSEs and has been studying for A-levels and shown an aptitude for computer studies, art and design, and has considered taking an Open University degree course. Less is known about Venables's educational achievements.According to Lord Woolf, both have maintained contact with their families, Jon Venables benefiting from the continued interest of his parents and Robert Thompson from the attentions of his mother. Lord Woolf also pointed out that, apart form their own welfare, there was also a public interest in ensuring that what had been achieved in their upbringing is not wasted. Society, he said, had invested considerable energy and skilled care in their upbringing. A great deal of money must have been expended upon them. This commitment should be built upon. But for both of them life outside will mean years of supervision after a very difficult period of reintegration: It will be like being on a witness protection programme for the rest of their lives, ”said one criminal justice system source last night.11. According to the passage, Robert Thompson and JonVenables_____________________.(A) are the pseudonyms of two young criminals(B) will be given a life sentence for killing James Bulger(C) have had no contact with their families since their imprisonment(D) will face much difficulty after their release12. Mary Bell is mentioned in the passage because_____________________.(A) she was the youngest criminal in England(B) she remained out of the public eye after her release(C) her case relates to the issue of protecting child criminals(D) her case reveals the basic nature of all child crimes13. To preserve the anonymity of the two 18-year-olds means all of the following have to be changed EXCEPT.(A) their original names (B) their health service numbers(C) their educational background (D) their family histories14. Which of the following can be concluded according to the passage?(A) Thompson and Venables will return to their home town Liverpool after release.(B) Thompson and Venables will use some other names for the rest of their life.(C) Thompson and Venables will complete their university degree course and find professional jobs.(D) Thompson and Venables will live with their families under police protection.15.Which of the following expresses the main idea of the passage?(A) New identities will probably protect the privacy of the two young criminals after their release.(B) The parole board will decide the actual date of the release of the two 18-year-olds.(C) The anonymity of the two young criminals after release will lead to the revision of related laws.(D) Robert Thompson and Jon Venables will still be legally punished even after their release.Questions 16~20Are Americans a nation of frivolous divorcers who selfishly pursue the bluebird of happiness, oblivious to their children's needs? Divorce opponents like Judith Wallerstein seem to think most parents see divorce as a marvelous opportunity for the whole family. How immature do they think people are? All over America , unhappy spouses lie awake at night wondering if they and their kids can afford divorce financially, socially, emotionally. Where will they live, how will they pay the bills , will the kids fall apart, will there be a custody battle, what will their families say? The very fact that so many people leave their marriage for a future with so many pitfalls proves that divorce is anything but a whim. Most people I know who split up (not to mention my ex and me) spent years working up to it.In her new book, Wallerstein argues that children don't care if their parents are happy-they just want the stability of a two parent household, without which they would later flail through adulthood and have a hard time forming good relationships. This conclusion, like her other gloomygeneralizations(Parenting erodes almost inevitably at the breakup and does not get restored for years, if ever), is based on a small, nonrepresentative sample offamilies who were going through divorce in 1971 in affluent Marin County, Calif. Wallerstein looks for evidence that divorce harms kids, and of course she finds it -now well into their mid-30s, her interviewees still blame their parents' breakup for every rock on the path to fulfillment-but the very process of participating in a famous on-going study about the effects of divorce encourages them to see their lives through that lens. What if she had spent as much time studying children whose parents had terrible marriages but stayed together for the kids? How many children of divorce feel overly responsible for their parents' happiness. But what about the burden of knowing that one or both of your parents endured years of misery-for you?As a matter of fact, we know the answer to that question. The baby boomers, who helped divorce become mainstream, were the products of exactly the kind of marriages the anti-divorcers approve of-the child-centered unions of the 1950s, when parents, especially Mom, sacrificed themselves on the altar of family values and suburban respectability. To today's anti-divorcers those may seem like good enough” marriages full of depressed and bitter people. Nor does it need more pundits blaming women for destroying the family” with what are, after all, reasonable demands for equality and self-development. We need to acknowledge that there are lots of different way to raise competent andwell-adjusted children, which—as, according to virtually every family researcher who has worked with larger and more representative samples than Wallerstein's tiny handful-the vast majority of kids of divorce turn out to be. We've learned a lot about how to divorce since 1971. When Mom has enough money and Dad stays connected, when parents stay civil and don't bad-moutheach other, kids do all right. The good enough” divorce-why isn't that ever the cover story?16. The article can be classified as one of.(A) objective commentary (B) detailed narration(C) chronological description (D) heated argumentation17. It can be concluded from the passage that“good enough” marriages.(A) are the tradition mainly cherished by anti-divorcers(B) are the only accepted practice in most American families(C) display women's demands for equality and self-development(D) reflect the mainstream of baby boomers in America18.According to the author of the passage, Judith Wallerstein.(A) arrivers at her generalizations without investigation(B) carries out her investigation with prejudice(C) interviews a large number of children of divorce(D) only studies the effects of divorce on baby boomers19. The sentence “We've learned a lot about how to divorce since 1971.” (Para.4) implies all of the following EXCEPT that.(A) Americans have changed attitudes towards divorce(B) divorce has been more socially accepted since 1971(C) the procedures of divorce have become more complicated(D) both parents and children have learnt how to cope with divorce20. The author of the passage holds that.(A) the child-centered unions should be continued(B) children could never suffer more in“good enough” marriages。

For instance, many American parents may be totally divorced from the church, or entertain grave doubts about the existence of God, but they send their children to Sunday school and help them to pray. American parents struggle in a competitive world where sheer cunning and falsehood are often rewarded and respected, but they feed their children with nursery tales in which the morally good is pitted against the bad, and in the end the good inevitably is successful and the bad inevitably punished. When American parents are in serious domestic trouble, they maintain a front of sweetness and light before their children. Even if American parents suffer a major business or personal catastrophe, they feel obliged to turn to their children and say,“ Honey, everything is going to be all right.” This American desire to keep the children’s world separate from that of the adult is exemplified also by the practice of delaying transmission of the news to children when their parents have been killed in an accident. Thus, in summary, American parents face a world of reality while many of their children live in a near-ideal unreal realm where the rules of the parental world do not apply, are watered down, or are even reversed.分析:①The line of demarcation between the adult and the child world is drawn in many ways.译文:成人与儿童世界的划分是多方面的。

Ds have produced a corps of technicians, aides, speechwriters, symbol manufactures, investigators, and policy proposers who are now employed by practical men in all institutions. These people, called intellectuals in the sense that they deal with symbols and ideas, have become professionalized in exactly the same sense as the engineer. Unlike the engineer, however, these professional intellectuals are free from much of the routine grind of daily work: they carry light teaching load and enjoy government and foundation grants and subsidies for their research.The professor’s project budget is the initial economic base that supports his independence within the university. The project budget sustains both the existence of graduate students and the fiscal solvency of the university, which takes a percentage “overhead” out of every project budget. The major feature of project money, whether its source is government or business, is that it is given on a contractual basis, a different contract for each project, so that the investigator’s independence rests upon his capacity to secure a succession of contracts.

3月英语高级口译考试真题

3月英语高级口译考试真题(3)SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TESTDirections: Translate of the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.The popular view when discussing urban transportation in American cities to day is to decry its sorry state. Newspapers and journals are filled with talk of an “urban transportation crisis,” of the “difficulties of getting from here to there,” and so on at great length. Matters are reported to be getting worse - and very quickly. Everyone has his own favorite traumatic experience to report: of the occasion when many of the switches froze on New York’s commuter railroads; of the sneak snowstorm in Boston that converted thirty-minute commuter trips into seven hour ordeals; of the extreme difficulties in Chicago and other Midwestern cities when some particularly heavy and successive snowstorms were endured.One reason for the talk of an urban transportation crisis in the United States today perhaps lies in a failure to meet anticipations. Many commuters expected to reduce their commuting times as systems improved, but instead found themselves barely able to maintain the status quo in terms of time requirements. Another reason for talk of crisis, almost certainly, is that the rate of improvement in the performance of urban transportation systems during rush hours has been markedly inferior to that expected during off-peak hours. Specifically, the ability to move quickly about American cities during non-rush hors has improved in a truly phenomenal fashion.SECTION 4: LISTENING TESTPart A: Note-taking And Gap-fillingDirections: In this part of the test you will hear a short talk.

Some __________ (5)school teachers think that some kids have __________ (6)EQs than others. Even at five or six years old, some of the kids tend to be much more __________ (7)and __________ (8)than others. Another example is that kids deal with __________ (9)in different ways. One may get frustrated with a __________ (10)problem, but another child, with a higher EQ, might be able to handle the situation better. She might try __________ (11)ways to approach the problem, or ask for __________ (12).Can you __________ (13)to have a higher EQ? People seem to have different views on this question. Most of the people believe that the answer to this question is __________ (14). For example, kids can be __________ (15)to have patience and not to give up when things go wrong. They learn to respond well to their __________ (16). But others don’t agree. They find that some people never learn to __________ (17)their EQ.

历年高级口译考题翻译部分精解第一套英译中Since Darwin, biologists have been-firmly convinced that nature works without plan or meaning, pursuing no aim by the direct road of design. But today we see that this conviction is a fatal error. Why should evolution, exactly as Darwin knew it and described it, be planless and irrational? Do not aircraft design engineers work, at precisely that point where specific calculations and plans give out, according to the same principle of evolution, when they test the serviceability of a great number of statistically determined forms in the wind tunnel, in order to choose the one that functions best? Can we say that there is no process of natural selection when nuclear physicists, through thousands of computer operations, try to find out which materials, in which combinations and with what structural form, are best suited to the building of an atomic reactor? They also practise no designed adaptation, but work by the principle of selection. But it would never occur to anyone to call their method planless and irrational.【参考译文】达尔文以后的生物学家们一直相信,大自然的运行是没有计划没有意义的,不会按照预先设定的途径实现任何目的。

长期以来,科学与艺术之间的关系一直是剃头担子一头热:科学热恋着艺术,艺术却拒科学与千里之外。

许多大科学家一生钟爱艺术,且懂艺术,从中汲取养料,善养浩然之气,或得到人生安慰。

相反,热爱自然科学并且理解工程技术的文学艺术家真可谓凤毛麟角。

艺术家对自然科学望而生畏,敬而远之,原因之一是里面有一大堆高深的数学公式。

其实,撇开数学,绕过那一大堆公式,一门学科的基本思想还是可以被我们理解和欣赏的。

这恰如我们虽然看不懂莫扎特乐曲的总谱,却照样能同它的主旋律产生共鸣,击节称赞。

分析:
①长期以来,科学与艺术之间的关系一直是剃头担子一头热:科学热恋着艺术,艺术却拒科学与千里之外。

译文:For a long time, the relationship between science and art has been that of partial /one-sided enthusiasm. That is, science is passionately in love with art while art is arrogant and unapproachable to science/ gives science the cold shoulder/keeps away from science.
考点:转性译法:动词→ 名词热恋着→passionately in love with
俗语的翻译
②许多大科学家一生钟爱艺术,且懂艺术,从中汲取养料,善养浩然之气,或得到人生安慰。

译文:Many great scientists love art fondly and cherish it//cherish and appreciate art, from which they derive rich nourishment so as to cultivate their noble spirit/loftiness/moral force or get the greatest comfort from life.
考点:断句译法
定语从句的译法:省略法
表示“熟练”的讲法:be good at / proficient, skilled, expert, masterly, adept, adroit, versed, practised, accomplished in
③相反,(热爱自然科学并且理解工程技术的)文学艺术家真可谓凤毛麟角。

译文:Conversely/On the contrary, a literary artist who loves natural science and understands engineering technology is regarded as a rarity of rarities.
考点:定语从句的翻译:前置法
④艺术家对自然科学望而生畏,敬而远之,原因之一是里面有一大堆高深的数学公式。

译文:One of the reasons why artists stand in awe// are filled with awe before natural science and keep respectfully aloof from it lies in a lot of abstruse/ambiguous mathematical formulas in natural science.
考点:定语从句的翻译
意译:一大堆→ a lot of> a h uge stack
“高深的”:abstract, ambiguous, obscure, recondite, vague, esoteric, arcane, occult, mysterious, perplexing, incomprehensible, unfathomable, profound, remote, subtle 黑体为正反译法的反译
⑤其实,撇开数学,绕过那一大堆公式,一门学科的基本思想还是可以被我们理解和欣赏的。

译文:To be frank, if we leave aside mathematics and bypass/detour/go round/
round the abundant formulas, the basic principles/essence of the discipline (of natural science)are understandable and appreciable// we can understand and appreciate the basic principles/essence of the discipline.
考点:增词译法:增加主语和连词撇开数学→(if we)leave aside mathematics
增加定语一门学科→the discipline (of natural science)
⑥这恰如我们虽然看不懂莫扎特乐曲的总谱,却照样能同它的主旋律产生共鸣,击节称赞。

译文一:This is the similar case when the main melody can resonate powerfully/evoke a strong echo for us to clap our hands in admiration despite our disability to understand the score of Mozart’s musical pieces.
译文二:This is the similar case when we are able to give a passionate response to its main melody and great admire the music although we are ignorant of/read nothing of the score of Mozart’s musical pieces.
考点:正反译法:看不懂→be ignorant of (正译)
→read nothing of/not understand
转性译法:动词→ 名词看不懂→disability to understand
换序译法。
