从本质上讲，“工匠精神”是一种职业精神，它是职业道德、职业能力、职业品质的体现，是从业者的一种职业价值取向和行为表现。“工匠精神”的基本内涵包括敬业、精益、专注、创新等方面的内容。 Essentially, “Craftsman Spirit”is an artisan spirit which reflects one’s morality, ability and quality of job. It is one of the professional value and behaviour. The fundamental elements of “Craftsman Spirit” include, among other things, devotion, lean, concentration, and innovation. 其一，敬业。中华民族历来有“敬业乐群”“忠于职守”的传统。早在春秋时期，孔子就主张人在一生中始终要“执事敬”“事思敬”“修己以敬”。 First of all, devotion. It is the tradition of the Chinese to do our duty. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius advocated that people should try to take their responsibility for their whole lives. 其二，精益。能基业长青的企业，无不是精益求精才获得成功的。瑞士手表得以誉满天下、畅销世界、成为经典，靠的就是制表匠们对每一个零件、每一道工序、每一块手表都精心打磨、专心雕琢的精益精神。 Second, lean.None of the successful enterprises that can base industry evergreen without the excellence.

2004年11月英语二级《笔译实务》试题及参考答案
人事部翻译资格证书（CATTI）2004 年11 月英语二级《笔译实务》 试题及参考答案 Section 1: English-Chinese T ranslation （英译汉）（60 point ） Part A Compulsory T ranslation （必译题）（30 points） Until recently, scientists knew little about life in the deep sea, nor had they reason to believe that it was being threatened. Now, with the benefit of technology that allows for deeper exploration, researchers have uncovered a remarkable array of species inhabiting the ocean floor at depths of more than 660 feet, or about 200 meters. At the same time, however, technology has also enabled fishermen to reach far deeper than ever before, into areas where bottom trawls can destroy in minutes what has taken nature hundreds and in some cases thousands of years to build. Many of the world's coral species, for example, are found at depths of more than 200 meters. It is also estimated that roughly half of the world's highest seamounts - areas that rise from the ocean floor and are particularly rich in marine life - are also found in the deep ocean. These deep sea ecosystems provide shelter, spawning and breeding areas for fish and other creatures, as well as protection from strong currents and predators. Moreover, they are believed to harbor some of the most extensive reservoirs of life on earth, with estimates ranging from 500,000 to 100 million species inhabiting these largely unexplored and highly fragile ecosystems. Y et just as we are beginning to recognize the tremendous diversity of life in these areas, along with the potential benefits newly found species may hold for human society in the form of potential food products and new medicines, they are at risk of being lost forever. With enhanced ability both to identify where these species-rich areas are located and to trawl in deeper water than before, commercial fishing vessels are now beginning to reach down with nets the size of football fields, catching everything in their path while simultaneously crushing fragile corals and breaking up the delicate structure of reefs and seamounts that provide critical habitat to the countless species of fish and other marine life that inhabit the deep ocean floor. Because deep sea bottom trawling is a recent phenomenon, the damage that has been done is still limited. If steps are taken quickly to prevent this kind of destructive activity from occurring on the high seas, the benefits both to the marine environment and to future generations are incalculable. And they far outweigh the short-term costs to the fishing industry. Part B Optional T ranslations （二选一题）（30 points ） Topic 1 （选题一） Most of the world's victims of AIDS live - and, at an alarming rate, die - in Africa. The number of people living with AIDS in Africa was estimated at 26.6 million in late 2003. New figures to be published by the United Nations Joint Program on AIDS （UNAIDS ），the special UN agency set up to deal with the pandemic, will probably confirm its continued spread in Africa, but they will also show whether the rate of spread is constant, increasing or falling. AIDS is most prevalent in Eastern and Southern Africa, with South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya having the greatest numbers of sufferers; other countries severely affected include Botswana and Zambia. AIDS was raging in Eastern Africa - where it was called "slim", after the appearance of victims wasting away - within a few years after its emergence was established in the eastern Congo basin; however, the conflicting theories about the origin of AIDS are highly controversial and politicized, and the controversy is far from being settled. Measures being taken all over Africa include, first of all, campaigns of public awareness and device, including advice to remain faithful to one sexual partner and to use condoms. The latter advice is widely ignored or resisted owing to natural and cultural aversion to condoms and to Christian and Muslim teaching, which places emphasis instead on self-restraint. An important part of anti- AIDS campaigns, whether organized by governments, nongovernmental organizations or both, is the extension of voluntary counseling and testing （VCT ）.In addition, medical research has found a way to help sufferers, though not to cure them. Funds for anti- AIDS efforts are provided by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, a partnership between governments, civil society, the private sector and affected communities around the world; the fund was launched following a call by the UN

Think again. Leasingcan end up being just as expensive as buying. Most peoplethink about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They'reright-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were tolease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If youwere to buy the same car, you would pay about $400per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But afteryour lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many peoplewant to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwisebe able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you mightbe able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buya used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore， allows you to drive the

The day of the exam came, and Henry sat next to Allan, who was 19 at the top of the class in maths. Henry carefully copied Allan’s answers onto his own exam paper. At he end of the exam, the teacher said, “Well, boys and girls, I’ve decided to give a red star to the students who got the highest grades. It’s 20 for me to decide who to give the star to, however, 21 two students, Henry andAllan, got the 22 grade” After a moment she went on: “But I’ve decided to give the star to 23 this time”.

英语翻译三级笔译实务模拟试题及答案解析（3） (1~5/共5题)Section ⅠEnglish Chinese Translation Translate the following two passages into Chinese . If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work-force skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. 1 Skill acquisition is considered as an individual responsibility. Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired—rented at the lowest possible cost—much as one buys raw materials or equipment. 2 The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporation hierarchy. In an American firm the chief finanical officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chances to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human-resource management is central-usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm hierarchy. While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do the Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. 3 And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies. As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. 4 If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States. 5 More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear. 第1题 第2题 第3题 第4题 第5题 下一题 (1/1)Section ⅡChinese-English Translation Translate the following passage into English . 第6题 1．全球经济一体化和区域化、集团化加速发展，国际经济、贸易、科技竞争越来越激烈。在这种形势下，发展中国家在实现经济增长、提高人民生活水平的道路上面临严峻的挑战。2．消费，消费，再消费!我们的社会以消费者为中心——而且到了危险的地步。为了使工业的车轮不停地运转，我们生产出无数的消费品，而且在此过程中使自然资源急速枯竭，但这
