2015年5月翻译资格考试二级笔译实务真题及答案
2015年5月翻译资格考试二级笔译实务真题及答案Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following two passages into Chinese.Passage 1Early Maori adapted the tropically based east Polynesian culture in line with the challenges associated with a larger and more diverse environment, eventually developing their own distinctive culture.The British and Irish immigrants brought aspects of their own culture to New Zealand and also influenced Maori culture. More recently American, Australian, Asian and other European cultures have exerted influence on New Zealand.New Zealand music has been influenced by blues, jazz, country, rock and roll and hip hop, with many of these genres given a unique New Zealand interpretation. Maori developed traditional chants and songs from their ancient South-East Asian origins, and after centuries of isolation created a unique “monotonous” and “doleful”sound.The number of New Zealand films significantly increased during the 1970s. In 1978 the New Zealand Film Commission started assisting local film-makers and many films attained a world audience, some receiving international acknowledgement.New Zealand television primarily broadcasts American and British programming, along with a large number of Australian and local shows. The country’s diverse scenery and compact size, plus government incentives, have encouraged some producers to film big budget movies in New Zealand.The Ministry for Culture and Heritage is government’s leading adviser on cultural matters. The Ministry funds, monitors and supports a range of cultural agencies and delivers a range of high-quality cultural products and services.The Ministry provides advice to government on where to focus its interventions in the cultural sector. It seeks to ensure that funding is invested as effectively and efficiently as possible, and that government priorities are met.The Ministry has a strong track record of delivering high-quality publications, managing significant heritage and commemorations, and acting as guardian of New Zealand’s culture. The Ministry’s work prioritizes cultural outcomes and also supports educational, economic and social outcomes, linking with the work of a range of other government agenciesPassage 2Along a rugged, wide North Sea beach here on a recent day, children formed teams of eight to 10, taking their places beside mounds of sand carefully cordoned by tape. They had one hour for their sand castle competition. Some built fishlike structures, complete with scales. Others spent their time on elaborate ditch and dike labyrinths. Each castle was adorned on top with a white flag.Then they watched the sea invade and devour their work, seeing whose castle could withstand the tide longest. The last standing flag won.Theirs was no ordinary day at the beach, but a newly minted, state-sanctioned competition for schoolchildren to raise awareness of the dangers of rising sea levels in a country of precarious geography that has provided lessons for the world about water management, but that fears that its next generation will grow complacent. Fifty-five percent of the Netherlands is either below sea level or heavily flood-prone. Yet thanks to its renowned expertise and large water management budget (about 1.25 percent of gross domestic product), the Netherlands has averted catastrophe since a flooding disaster in 1953.Experts here say that they now worry that the famed Dutch water management system actually works too well and that citizens will begin to take for granted the nation’s success in staying dry. As global climate change threatens to raise sea levels by as much as four feet by the end of the century, the authorities here are working to make real to children the forecasts that may seem far-off, but that will shape their lives in adulthood and old age.“Everything works so smoothly that people don’t realize anymore that they are taking a risk in developing urban areas in low-lying areas,” said Hafkenscheid, the lead organizer of the competition and a water expert with the Foreign Ministry. Before the competition, the children, ages 6 to 11, were coached by experts in dike building and water management. Volunteers stood by, many of them freshly graduated civil engineers, giving last-minute advice on how best to battle the rising water.A recently released report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on water management in the Netherlands pointed to an “awareness gap”among Dutch citizens. The finding did much to get the sand castle contest off the ground.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (50 points)Translate the following two passages into English.Passage 1改革开放30多年来，西藏通过深化改革和扩大开放积极推动全区商业、对外贸易和旅游产业加快发展，不仅增强了与内地的交流，同时也加强了与世界的联系和合作。

2015年下半年CATTI英语二级笔译实务真题
2015年下半年CATTI英语二级笔译实务真题(总分：100.00，做题时间：180分钟)一、英译汉(总题数：2，分数：50.00)1.Apple may well be the only technical company on the planet that would dare compare itself to Picasso.In a class at the company's internal university, the instructor （导师）likened the 11 lithographs that make up Picasso's The Bullto the way Apple builds its smart phones and other devices. The idea is that Apple designers strive for simplicity just as Picasso eliminated details to create a great work of art. Steven P. Jobs established the Apple University as a way to inculcate employees into Apple's business culture and educate them about its history, particularly as the company grew and the technical business changed. Courses are not required, only recommended, but getting new employees to enroll is rarely a problem.Randy Nelson, who came from the animation studio Pixar,co-founded by Mr. Jobs, is one of the teachers of “Communicating at Apple.” This course，open to various levels of employees, focuses on clear communication, not just for making products intuitive, but also for sharing ideas with peers and marketing products.In a version of the class taught last year, Mr. Nelson showed a slide of The Bull, a series of 11 lithographs of a bull that Picasso created over about a month, starting in late 1945. In the early stages, the bull has a snout, shoulder shanks and hooves, but over the iterations, those details vanish. The last image is a curvy stick figure that is still unmistakably a bull.“You go through more iterations until you can sim ply deliver your message in a very concise way, and that is true to the Applebrand and everything we do,” recalled one person who took the course.In “What Makes Apple,” another course that Mr. Nelson occasionally teachers, he showed a slide of the remote control for the Google TV, said an employee who took the class last year. The remote control has 78 buttons. Then, the employee said. Mr. Nelson displayed a photo of the Apple TV remote control, a thin piece of metal with just three buttons.How did Apple's designers decide on three buttons? They started out with an idea, Mr. Nelson explained, and debated until they had just what was needed 一a button to play and pause a video, a button to select something to watch, and another to go to the main menu.The Google TV remote control serves as a counterexample. It had so many buttons, Mr. Nelson said, because the individual engineers and designers who worked on the project all got what they wanted.（分数：25.00）___________________________________________________________ _______________________________正确答案：(苹果可能是世界上唯一敢自比毕加索的科技公司。

2015年5月二口汉译英第2篇人民币国际化是国际社会普遍关心的问题，尤其是各位金融界的朋友们。
你们关心的问题是中国对于人民币国际化是否制订了一个时间表，我讲对这一问题谈谈我的看法。
人民币国际化主要指的是在贸易和投资方面人民币的跨境使用。
2008年金融危机的发生，使许多人对现有的国际货币体系失去信心。
越来越多的人开始使用人民币进行国际贸易，这给人民币的国际化进程提供了一个非常好的机遇。
The globalization of RMB has become a common concern for the international community, particularly the friends of the finance circle. What you care most is whether China has formulated a timetable for the globalization of RMB. I want to share with you my view on that matter. The Globalization of RMB mainly refers to the cross-border use of RMB in trade and investment. After the outbreak of financial crisis in 2008, many people lose their confidence in the current international currency system and start to trade with RMB. This has given RMB a good opportunity toward its globalization.现在中国政府在对外贸易方面使用人民币的频率越来越高。
根据中国人民银行2013年的数据，人民币跨境结算达到了5.16万亿元，同比增长61%。

2015年5月真题及答案
北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.05.09Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula（配方奶粉）.“Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, "says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health.(76) Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby's health. This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who's breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby's IQ（智商）by a few points. But a recent study with siblings（兄弟姐妹）found little advantage to breast-feeding.Horta says these previous studies didn't follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.1. From the passage, we learn that Horta_______________ .A. is from BrazilB. conducts his research in the U.S.C. has 30 researchers on his teamD. is well-known in developing countries2. Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned?A. They stayed longer in schoolB. They were happierC. They were smarterD. They made more money3. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Doctors don't understand the benefits of breast-feeding.B. Horta is concerned with water contamination in poor countries.C. Horta's research project lasted about 30 yearsD. Breast-feeding is the only way to improve a baby's health4. The word contaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to____.A. finishedB. interestedC. clearedD. polluted5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Researchers Have Pointed Out the Disadvantages of Breast-feedingB. Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of FormulaC. Breast-feeding Improves Chances of SuccessD. Breast-feeding Benefits Both Mother and BabyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman's house. When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. Her family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student, especially in math.After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for young people. (77) This program became very popular with schoolchildren. In 1899, Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization. However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. (78) Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization. In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members. The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55. Now Walker was ready for her next big step.6. Maggie's father died____________.A. when she finished high schoolB. before she was bornC. when she was very youngD. after she got married7. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Maggie had two children.B. Maggie was once a slave.C. Maggie was good at math.D. Maggie taught for a while.8. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Maggie loved to help other African Americans.B. Maggie was very popular with school teachers.C. Maggie was the founder of the Order of St. Luke.D. Maggie was better paid than men as Grand Secretary Treasurer.9. The word impoverished in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.A. difficultB. richC. famousD. poor10. After Paragraph 4, the author will probably talk about Maggie's__________________A. educationB. next projectC. payD. childhoodPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year, he promised to end a controversial （有争议的）, citywide cell-phone ban（禁令）in public schools, which is not equally enforced in all schools. Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, “If we don't see it, we don't know about it.”That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, die ban has been strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schools，but the scanners（扫描器）can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans（厢式货车）that resemble food tracks store teens' cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day,(79) Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency. They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who can't afford to pay to store their phones.Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are working on creating a new policy. (80) It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.11. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. New York City will give financial aid to poor students.B. New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.C. New York City plans to install metal detectors in all public schools.D. New York City will soon end a ban on cell phones in schools.12. Students pay ______ a day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.A. a dollarsB. two dollarsC. five dollarsD. ten dollars13.

They had one hour for their sand castle competition. Some built fishlike structures, complete with scales. Others spent their time on elaborate ditch and dike labyrinths. Each castle was adorned on top with a white flag.近日，北海沿岸崎岖而宽广的海滩上，孩子们八人一组，十人一队，在用隔离带精心围起来的沙堆旁各就各位。
他们要在一个小时内完成堆沙堡的比赛。
有些人打造鱼形的主体建筑，再配上鳞片。

Researchers measured people's cortisol, which is a stress marker, while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge."Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home," writes one of the researchers, Sarah Damaske. In fact women even say they feel better at work, she notes. "It is men, not women, who report being happier at home than at work." Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they're at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office, For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women, it's not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it's not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing: working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they're teenagers, threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they're your family. You cannot fire your family, You never really get to go home from home.So it's not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.21.According to paragraph 1, most previous surveys found that home_____.[A] was an unrealistic place for relaxation[B] generated more stress than the workplace[C] was an ideal place for stress measurement[D] offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?[A] Working mothers[B] Childless husbands[C] Childless wives[D] Working fathers23.The blurring of working women’s roles to the fact they _____.[A] they are both bread winners and housewives[B] their home is also a place for kicking back[C] there is often much housework left behind[D] it is difficult for them to leave their office24.The word “moola” (Line 4，Para) most probably means _____.[A] energy[B] skills[C] earnings[D] nutrition25.The home front differs from the workplace in that _____.[A] home is hardly a cozier working environment[B] division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C] household tasks are generally more motivating[D] family labor is often adequately rewardedText 2For years, studies have found that first-generation college students- those who do not have a parent with a college degree- lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created a paradox in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close ab achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of apaper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science.But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach (which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap (measured by such factors as grades) between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findings arebased on a study involving 147 students (who completed the project) at an unnamed private university. First generation was defined as not having a parent with a four-year college degree. Most of the first-generation students(59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants, a federal grant for undergraduates with financial need, while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students wit at least one parent with a four-year degree.Their thesis- that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact- was based on the view that first-generation students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students. They cite past research by several authors to show that thisis the gap that must be narrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first- generation students struggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education, learn the rules of the game and take advantage of college resources, they write. And this becomes more of a problem when collages don't talk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students. Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class canaffect students educational experience, many first-generation students lack sight about why they are struggling and do not understand how students like them can improve.26.Recruiting more first-generation students has_____.[A] reduced their dropout rates[B] narrowed the achievement gao[C] missed its original purpose[D] depressed college students27.The author of the research article are optimistic because_____.[A] the problem is solvable[B] their approach is costless[C] the recruiting rate has increased[D] their finding appeal to students28.The study suggests that most first- generation students_____.[A] study at private universities[B] are from single-parent families[C] are in need of financial support[D] have failed their collage29.The author of the paper believe that first-generation students______.[A] are actually indifferent to the achievement gap[B] can have a potential influence on other students[C] may lack opportunities to apply for research projects[D] are inexperienced in handling their issues at college30.We may infer from the last paragraph that______.[A] universities often reject the culture of the middle-class[B] students are usually to blame for their lack of resources[C] social class greatly helps enrich educational experiences[D] colleges are partly responsible for the problem in questionText 3Even in traditional offices, "the lingua franca of corporate America has gotten much more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago, " said Harvard Business School professor Nancy Koehn. She started spinning off examples. “If you and I parachuted back to Fortune 500 companies in 1990, we would see much less frequent use of terms like journey, mission, passion. There were goals, there were strategies, there were objectives, but we didn't talk about energy; we didn't talk about passion. "Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabulary is very "team-oriented—and not by coincidence." Let's not forget sports—inmale-dominated corporate America, it's still a big deal. It's not explicitly conscious; it's the idea that I'm a coach, and you're my team, and we're in this together. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies, but most think of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win."These terms are also intended to infuse work with meaning—and, as Khurana points out, increase allegiance to the firm. "You have the importation ofterminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations: Terms like vision, values, passion, and purpose. " said Khurana.This new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance. The "mommy wars" of the 1990s are still going on today, prompting arguments about why women still can't have it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg' s Lean In, whose title has become a buzzword in its own right Terms like unplug, offline, life-hack, bandwidth, and capacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home. But if your work is your "passion, " you' ll be more likely to devote yourself to it, even if that means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed.But this seems to be the irony of office speak: Everyone makes fun of it, but managers love it, companies depend on it, and regular people willingly absorb it As Nunberg said, "You can get people to think it# s nonsense at the same time that you buy into it." In a workplace that' s fundamentally indifferent to your life and its meaning, office speak can help you figure out how you relate to your work—and how your work defines who you are.31.According to Nancy Koehn, office language has become_____.[A] more emotional[B] more objective[C] less energetic[D] less strategic32."Team"oriented corporate vocabulary is closely related to _____.[A] historical incidents[B] gender difference[C] sports culture[D] athletic culture33.Khurana believes that imporation of terminology aims to _____.[A] revive historical terms[B] promote company image[C] foster corporate cooperation[D] strengthen employee loyalty34.It can be inferred that Lean In_____.[A] voices for working women[B] appeals to passionate workaholics[C] triggers debates among mommies[D] praises motivated employees35.Which of the following statements is true about office speak?[A] Managers admire it but avoid it.[B] Linguists believe it to be nonsense.[C] Companies find it to be fundamental.[D] Regular people mock it but accept it.Text 4Many people talked of the 288,000 new jobs the Labor Department reported for June, along with the drop in the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, as good news. And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace.However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who repot voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000(4.4 percent)above its year ago level.Before explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction. Many people who work part-time jobs actually want full-time jobs. They take part-time work because this is all they can get. An increase in involuntary part-time work is evidence of weakness in the labor market and it means that many people will be having a very hard time making ends meet.There was an increase in involuntary part-time in June, but the general direction has been down. Involuntary part-time employment is still far higher than before the recession, but it is down by 640,000(7.9percent)from is year ago level.We know the difference between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment because people tell us. The survey used by the Labor Department asks people is they worked less than 35 hours in the reference week. If the answer is “yes”, they are classified as worked less than 35 hours in that week because they wanted to work less than full time or because they had no choice .They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week.The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purposes was to allow people to get insurance outside of employment. For many people , especially those with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions ,before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance.However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges. These are people who may previously have felt the need to get a full-time job that provided insurance in order to cover themselves and their families. With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance.36.Which part of the jobs picture was neglected?[A] The prospect of a thriving job market.[B] The increast of voluntary part-time jobs.[C] The possibility of full employment.[D] The acceleration of job creation.37.Many people work part-time because they_____.[A] prefer part-time jobs to full-time jobs.[B] feel that is enough to make ends meet.[C] cannot get their hands on full-time jobs.[D] haven’t seen the weakness of the market38.Involuntary part-time employment in the US_____.[A] is harder to acquire than one year ago[B] shows a general tendency of decline[C] satisfies the real need of the jobless[D] is lower than before the recession39.It can be learned that with Obamacare, _____.[A] it is no longer easy for part-timers to get insurance[B] employment is no longer a precondition to get insurance[C] it is still challenging to get insurance for family members[D] full-time employment is still essential for insurance40.The text mainly discusses _____.[A] employment in the US[B] part-timer classification[C] insurance through Medicaid[D] Obamacare’s troublePart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by finding information from the left column that corresponds to each of the marked details given in the right column.

We are going through life facing sad experiences. Moreover, we are grieving various kinds of loss: a friendship, a romantic relationship or a house. Hard time may hold you down at what usually seems like the most inopportune time, but you should remember that they won’t last forever.When out time of mourning is over, we press forward, stronger with a greater understanding and respect for life. Furthermore, these losses make us mature and eventually move us toward future opportunities for growth and happiness. I want to share these old truths I’ve learned along the way.41.______________________Fear is both useful and harmful. This normal human reaction is used to protect us by signaling danger and preparing us to deal with it. Unfortunately, people create inner barriers with a help of exaggerating fears. My favorite actor Will Smith once said, “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is very real. But fear isa choice.” I do completely agree that fears are just the product of our luxuriant imagination.42. ______________________If you are surrounded by problem and cannot stop thinking about the X try to focus on the present moment. Many of us are weighed down by this X X anxious about the future. You may feel guilt over your past, but you are X the present with the things and X you cannot X X X present moment and remember how fortunate you are to be alive. Enjoy the beauty of the world around and keep the eyes open to see the possibilities before you. Happiness is not a point of future and not a moment from the past, but a mindset that can be designed into the present.43. ______________________Sometimes it is easy to feel bad because you are going through tough times. You can be easily caught up by life problems that you forget to pause and appreciate the things you have. Only strong people prefer to smile and value their life instead of crying and complaining about something.44. ______________________No matter how isolated you might feel and how serious the situation is, you should always remember that you are notalone. Try to keep in mind that almost everyone respects and wants to help you if you are trying to make a good change in your life, especially your dearest and nearest people. You may have a circle of friends who provide constant good humor, help and companionship. If you have no friends or relatives, try to participate in several online communities, full of people who are always willing to share advice and encouragement.45. ______________________Today many people find it difficult to trust their own opinion and seek balance by gaining objectivity from external sources. This way you devalue your opinion and show that you are incapable of managing your own life. When you are struggling to achieve something important you should believe in yourself and be sure that your decision is the best. You live in your skin, think your own thoughts, have your own values and make your own choices.[A] You are not alone[B] Don't fear responsibility for your life[C] Pave your own unique path[D] Most of your fears are unrealE.Think about the present momentF.Experience helps you growG.There are many things to be grateful forSection III Translation46.Directions:Translate the following text from English into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)Think about driving a route that’s very familiar. It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home. Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. On these sorts of trips it’s easy to zone out from the actual driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery. The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.This is the well-travelled road effect: people tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route.The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention. When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly. And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it. So we assume it was proportionately shorter.Section IV WritingPart A47. Directions: Suppose your university is going to host a summer camp for high school students.

They had one hour for their sand castle competition. Some built fishlike structures, complete with scales. Others spent their time on elaborate ditch and dike labyrinths. Each castle was adorned on top with a white flag.Then they watched the sea invade and devour their work, seeing whose castle could withstand the tide longest. The last standing flag won.Theirs was no ordinary day at the beach, but a newly minted, state-sanctioned competition for schoolchildren to raise awareness of the dangers of rising sea levels in a country of precarious geography that has provided lessons for the world about water management, but that fears that its next generationwill grow complacent.Fifty-five percent of the Netherlands is either below sea level or heavily flood-prone. Yet thanks to its renowned expertise and large water management budget (about 1.25 percent of gross domestic product), the Netherlands has averted catastrophe since a flooding disaster in 1953.Experts here say that they now worry that the famed Dutch water management system actually works too well and that citizens will begin to take for granted the nation’s success in staying dry. As global climate change threatens to raise sea levels by as much as four feet by the end of the century, the authorities here are working to make real to children the forecasts that may seem far-off, but that will shape their lives in adulthood and old age.“Everything works so smoothly that people don’t realize anymore that they are taking a risk in developing urban areas in low-lying areas,” sa id Hafkenscheid, the lead organizer of the competition and a water expert with the Foreign Ministry.Before the competition, the children, ages 6 to 11, were coached by experts in dike building and water management. Volunteers stood by, many of them freshly graduated civil engineers, giving last-minute advice on how best to battle the rising water.A recently released report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on water management in the Netherlands pointed to an “awareness gap” amon g Dutch citizens.The finding did much to get the sand castle contest off the grou nd.汉译英第一篇改革开放30多年来，西藏通过深化改革和扩大开放积极推动全区商业、对外贸易和旅游产业加快发展，不仅增强了与内陆的交流，同时也加强了与世界的联系和合作。

英翻汉第一篇1.Early Maori adapted the tropically based east Polynesian culture in line with the challenges associated with a larger and more diverse environment, eventually developing their own distinctive culture.早期的的毛利人调整了其热带为根基的东波利尼西亚文化从而融入广阔复杂的外界环境所带来的挑战中去。
最终，毛利人发展了他们自己那独特的文化。
注明：Polynesian 我是猜的这个词，因为估计翻字典会比较耗时。
当然也是猜错了的，我猜成伯尼西亚去了。
adapt...in line with我选择的是分成两个动词来翻，当时是为了不那么拗口，所以没有整合成一体来翻。
larger和more比较级我确实没有严格翻译，考试时总觉得翻出来就比较别扭了。
associated发现ed分词做定语修饰前面那个challenge后就直接提到了challenge前面来译的，当时想过翻译成相关联这个原意，后来总觉有点怪，所以改成了bring with 来翻。
eventually后面那个ing分词引导的状语从句，考试时觉得划成单独一句来翻要科学点，所以改了一下标点。
考后注解：tropically 关于热带方面 based位于基础的Polynesian波利尼西亚的in line with 和…一致；符合 diverse 多变化的 distinctive 有特色的tropically based east Polynesian culture 意思是东波利尼西亚文化是扎根于亚热带的adapt.....in line with .....调整自身从而使符合...2.The British and Irish immigrants brought aspects of their own culture to New Zealand and also influenced Maori culture. More recently American, Australian, Asian and other European cultures have exerted influence on New Zealand.英国和爱尔兰的移民将自己的文化带到了新西兰并也对毛利文化产生了影响。
从最近的一段历史来讲，美洲、澳大利亚、亚洲和其他欧洲文化也对新西兰产生了影响。
注明：aspects of考试时确实忘记翻译了。
more recently觉得翻译成最近，过于浅显了，所以考试时做了改动。
American最先打算翻成美国的，后来看见后面的Asia，就选择翻译成美洲了。
对了，考试时，发现自己对澳大利亚，新西兰等词汇的中文写法一万个吃不准啊，翻字典又怕浪费时间，真不知道各位是否有类似的，书到用时方恨少的顿挫感。
考后注解：exerted influence on 对...施加影响3.New Zealand music has been influenced by blues, jazz, country, rock and roll and hip hop, with many of these genres given a unique New Zealand interpretation. Maori developed traditional chants and songs from their ancient South-East Asian origins, and after centuries of isolation created a unique "monotonous" and "doleful" sound.新西兰的音乐受到了布鲁斯、乡村、摇滚乐的影响。
新西兰用它自己的文化对这些众多的音乐流派做出了阐释。
毛利人从他们东南亚祖先那里发展出了传统的吟唱和歌谣。
在几百年的与世隔绝后，他们创造出了一种独特单调而又哀伤的曲调。
注明：blues, jazz, country, rock and roll ，在前往考试路途中车上翻百科时偶然看到了这几个词的中文翻译，所以省了查字典的功夫。
with那个句子确实卡壳了一会儿，后来觉得这个应当是做结果状语解释前面主句的，所以把他单独划成一句来翻的。
genres这个词有看过，所以直接翻译成流派也没敢再去翻字典核实了。
后来挑出核心词汇 genres，given，新西兰，interpretation，觉得en分词表被动，逻辑主语应当是新西兰，宾语应当是 interpretation，所以进行了位置顺序的调换new zeland give interpretation to many of these genres以及词性上的改动。
后面那句看到from引导的介词短语，觉得挪到前面来应该是科学的，然后chants and songs确实只知道chant吟唱的含义，但是先前是基于动词属性，刚才网上查阅了一下名词属性翻的是歌谣和歌曲。
然后就是，and这类结构的翻译，我一般都处理为划成一个单独句子翻的。
"monotonous" and "doleful"这个确实似曾相识，但是果断选择翻词典，采取的是直接截取翻译的方式，确实担心时间不够。
最后那个sound确实感觉一词多义，凭感觉翻成———曲调。
4.The number of New Zealand films significantly increased during the 1970s. In 1978 the New Zealand Film Commission started assisting local film-makers and many films attained a world audience, some receiving international acknowledgement.新西兰的电影在七十年代大量增长。
在1978年，新西兰电影委员会开始资助本地的电影制作者并且许多电影都得到了全球的关注。
其中一些受到了国际的认可。
注明：急剧增长写不来就选择大量增长。
书到用时方恨少的又一案例。
assistng 其实现在觉得，应该翻成扶持要好些，可是考试时，就帮助和支援两个词在脑子里打转，最后选择翻译成资助。
attain那个句子，表面翻成取得了国际的观众，后来觉得译成，得到了全球的关注。
其实现在觉得翻成在全球播映要好一些。
最后那个ing分词做结果状语还是选择单独译成一句。
5.New Zealand television primarily broadcasts American and British programming, along with a large number of Australian and local shows. The country's diverse scenery and compact size, plus government incentives, have encouraged some producers to film big budget movies in New Zealand. 新西兰的电视台基本播放的是美国和英国节目以及大量的澳大利亚和本地电视剧。
该国风光秀丽，小巧别致以及政府大力提倡从而使得一些制片人倍受鼓舞地前往新西兰拍摄大片。
注明：programming常见词，翻节目，show翻成电视剧。
一大堆词组成的那个主语，本来想单独划成一个句子来翻，再同后来的进行逻辑组合，后来思考很久都没有眉目，就选择直译了。
现在觉得确实冗长了。
考试时compact确实不知道，查阅了词典发现还不是很好懂，后来发现翻成短小精悍即可，可是悍字确实吃不准，果断放弃改为小巧别致去了，哎，书到用时方恨少三次方啊。
big budget 选择直译大片，确实吃不准但是时间怕不够也不逗留了。
6.The Ministry for Culture and Heritage is government’s leading adviser on cultural matters. The Ministry funds, monitors and supportsa range of cultural agencies and delivers a range of high-quality cultural products and services.文化遗产部是政府在文化事项方面的核心顾问。
该部资助，监督并支持了许多的文化机构并提供了大量的高品质文化产品和服务。
注明：heritage直译遗产了，不愿多想了。
leading选择翻成核心。
support现在觉得译成赞助要好一些。
记得Rachel曾对 daniel说过她support一个sail gala，当时字幕译的就是赞助，可是考试时，脑子里就一个支持存在。
a range of 确切含义确实吃不准，但时间怕不够，所以直接译成大量。
7.The Ministry provides advice to government on where to focus its interventions in the cultural sector. It seeks to ensure that Vote funding is invested as effectively and efficiently as possible, and that government priorities are met.该部就何处为政府在文化方面的干预重心提供建议。
该部力图确保资金投放是富有成效和效率颇高的。
同时这也同政府的优先事项相一致。
注明：On where 那个介宾从句算的上是个难点，当时犹豫了许久，大概意思翻出来了，可是总觉得很拗口。
,and这个结构又遇见了，还是选择单独成句来翻的。
that确实没有弄清楚具体指的什么，不过时间有限，采取的是你模糊我也模糊的手法翻的。
被动一般都选择的是，改成主动来翻的，所以做了些改动。
8.The Ministry has a strong track record of delivering high-quality publications, managing significant heritage and commemorations, and acting as guardian of New Zealand’s culture. The Ministry’s work prioritizes cultural outcomes and also supports educational, economic and social outcomes, linking with the work of a range of other government agencies.该部在提供高品质出版物，管理重大遗产和纪念活动以及守卫新西兰文化方面有着优秀的记录。
