Itis impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as helives in the world. We should learn how to face failure or misfortunebravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complainabout our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then orshould we be grateful for our life, raise again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, "Life is a mirror. When yousmile in front of it, it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it. " Ifyou are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight. If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end. When we are successful, we can surely have many reasons for being grateful, but wehav.e only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.I think we should even be grateful to 'J.ife whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky.This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face,and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way. We should be grateful all the timeand keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit likeAh Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.Passage 2Over the past 27 years, China-US trade increased by 85 folds.

2011年上半年全国翻译资格考试
2011年上半年全国翻译资格考试(CATTI)二级笔译,综合部分的阅读原文和笔译实务英译汉原文如下。
英译汉第二篇原文与考题稍有差别,备考下半年考试的同学可以来试做一下。
阅读第一篇:(原文出自NY TIMES,节选)Stony Brook is typical of American colleges and universities these days, where national surveys show that nearly half of the students who visit counseling centers are coping with serious mental illness, more than double the rate a decade ago. More students take psychiatric medication, and there are more emergencies requiring immediate action.“It’s so different from how people might stereoty pe the conceptof college counseling, or back in the ’70s students coming in with existential crises: who am I?”said Dr. Hwang, whose staff of 29 includes psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and social workers. “Now they’re bringing in life stories invol ving extensive trauma, a history of serious mental illness, eating disorders, self-injury, alcohol and other drug use.”Experts say the trend is partly linked to effective psychotropic drugs (Wellbutrin for depression, Adderall for attention disorder, Abilify for bipolar disorder) that have allowed students to attend college who otherwise might not have functioned in a campus setting.There is also greater awareness of traumas scarcely recognized a generation ago and a willingness to seek help for those problems, including bulimia, self-cutting and childhood sexual abuse.The need to help this troubled population has forced campus mental health centers — whose staffs, on average, have not grown in proportion to student enrollment in 15 years — to take extraordinary measures to make do. Some have hospital-style triage units to rank the acuity of students who cross their thresholds. Others have waiting lists for treatment — sometimes weeks long —and limit the number of therapy sessions.Some centers hav e time only to “treat students for a crisis, bandaging them up and sending them out,” said Denise Hayes, the president of the Association for Univers ity and College Counseling Center Directors and the director ofcounseling at the Claremont Colleges in California.“It’s very stressful for the counselors,” she said. “Itdoesn’t feel like why you got into college counseling.”A recent survey by the American College Counseling Association found that a majority of students seek help for normal post-adolescent trouble like romantic heartbreak and identity crises. But 44 percent in counseling have severe psychological disorders, up from 16 percent in 2000, and 24 percent are on psychiatric medication, up from 17 percent a decade ago.The most common disorders today: depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, alcohol abuse, attention disorders, self-injury and eating disorders.Stony Brook, an academically demanding branch of the StateUniversity of New York (its admission rate is 40 percent), faces the mental health challenges typical of a big public university. It has9,500 resident students and 15,000 who commute from off-campus. The highly diverse student body includes many who are the first in their families to attend college and carry intense pressure to succeed, often in engineering or the sciences. A Black Women and Trauma therapy group last semester included participants from Africa, suffering post-traumatic stress disorder from violence in their youth.Stony Brook has seen a sharp increase in demand for counseling —1,311 students began treatment during the past academic year, a rise of 21 percent from a year earlier. At the same time, budget pressures from New York State have forced a 15 percent cut in mental health services over three years.Dr. Hwang, a clinical psychologist who became director in July 2009, has dealt with the squeeze by limiting counseling sessions to 10 per student and referring some, especially those needing long-term treatment for eating disorders or schizophrenia, to off-campus providers.But she has resisted the pressure to offer only referrals. By managing counselors’ workloads, the center can accept as many as 60 new clients a week in peak demand between October and the winter break.2011年5月CATTI二级笔译汉译英第一篇:09年胡锦涛在亚太经合组织工商领导人峰会上题为《坚定合作信心振兴世界经济》演讲。

The Chinese team will attempt to surpass the 32 gold medals won at the Athens Olympics, four less than the United States.7．A Japanese media report says Japan and China have reached a compromise and agreed to jointly develop gas fields and share profits in disputed areas of the East China Sea.8．The number of newly laid-off U.S. workers rose last week, the latest sign that the economic downturn is affecting the job market. A report Thursday from the Labor Department said the number of people applying for unemployment benefits for the first time rose 22–thousand, to 378–thousand.9. Chinese economy suffered only a mild setback in the first quarter of 2008, and remains resilient despiteinflation and worsening global credit crisis.10. Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs, savingon the cost of finding replacements.Part II Translate the following passages into Chinese.Passage 1Most Americans believe someone isn’t grown up until age 26, probably with a completed education, a full-time job, a family to support and financial independence, a survey said.But they also believe that becoming an official grown-up is a process that takes five years from about the age of 20, concluded the report from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center. The findings were based on a representative sample of 1398 people over age 18.The poll found the following ages at which people expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed: age 20.9 self-supporting; 21.1 no longer living with parents; 21.2 full-time job; 22.3 education complete; 24.5 being able to support a family financially; 25.7 married; and 26.2 having a child.“There is a large degree of consensus across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only notable pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having a child and getting married. “Older adults and the widowed and married rate these as more important than younger adults and the never-married do,” he added. “This probably reflects in large part a shift in values across generations away from traditional family values.”The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, was completing an education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently of parents, marriage and parenthood.Passage 2Spend less than you earn. This is perhaps the most worn out, overused phrase in the world of personal finance. But guess what? It’s also the single most important financial lesson you’ll ever learn. No matter how hard you work and how much money you earn, you’ll never achieve financial security if you spend more than you earn, so…… do whatever it takes to make sure that this doesn’t happen. This takes self-discipline, and might require constructing a budget, but if you ever want to get to a point where you can afford all the little niceties in life, you need to make it happen.Plan for the future. I’ve been where you are, and I know that “the future” seems like it’s a million miles away. Do yourself a favor. Sit down and define short, intermediate, and long-term goals and then put together a plan for getting there. It’s not easy, and you probably won’t get it right at first but once you do this, you’ll have something concrete to work from (and to modify in the future). Start small and work your way up.Be patient. Building a solid financial foundation takes time. Don’t look for shortcuts or try to strike it richovernight with the latest hot investment tip. Likewise, don’t make major financial decisions without fully considering the ramifications. This isn’t to say that you should be paralyzed fear. Rather, you need to do your homework. Turn those unknowns into knowns, and then make an informed decision.Learn form your mistakes. Nobody’s perfect. You’re bound to make mistakes, especially when you’re just starting out. The important thing is to learn from them and move forward. If you make a bad financial decision, make a note of it and get yourself back on track. Don’t beat yourself up , and don’t throw in the towel.Part III Translate the following passages into EnglishPassage 1亲爱的布莱克先生：从您5月16日来函获知我公司销售代表敷衍草率，我深感苦恼。

2011上半年英语翻译资格考试初级口译模拟试题及答案(1)
2011 上半年英语翻译资格考试初级口译模拟试题及答案 (1)The people of Kiribati are afraid that one day in the not-too- distant future,their country will disappear from the face of the earth - literally. Several times this year, the Pacific island nation has been flooded by a sudden high tide. These tides, which swept across the island and destroyed houses,came when there was neither wind nor rain. "This never happened before," say the older citizens of Kiribati.What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer .may well be global warming. When fuels like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物) are released ; these pollutants trap heat in the earth's atmosphere.Warmer temperatures cause water to expand and also create more water by melting glaciers (冰川) and polar (极地的) ice caps.If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer. Bangladesh, for example, might lose one-fifth of its land. The coral (珊瑚) island nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati and the Marshall Islands, however, would face an even worse fate - they would be swallowed by the sea. The loss of these coral islands would be everyone's loss. Coral formations are home to more species than any other place on earth.The people of these nations feel frustrated. The sea, on which their economies have always been based,is suddenly threatening their existence.They don't have the money for expensive technological solutions like seawalls.And they have no control over the pollutants, which are being released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries.All they can do is to hope that industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution.16 The people of Kiribati worry that one day their country will be taken away by a sudden high tide.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 High tides used to attack Kiribati when there was strong wind or heavy rain.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 The heat released by burning oil and coal is the direct cause of global warming.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 Scientists are not sure how serious the effects of global warming will be.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 The coral island nations of the Pacific have a long history of civilization.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 The people of the coral island nations are unable to do anything substantial about the problem of global warming.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22Some industrialized countries are unwilling to spend money in reducing pollution.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned【参考答案】16.

2011 上半年英语翻译资格考试初级口译模拟试题及答案 (3)快餐食品受欢迎的原因快餐食品可能有的问题你的态度范文In present-day China, we can find two types of fast food: western and Chinese. However, not until the recent decade has western fast food become popular in China.Before the first hamburger walked its way into the Chinese food market, we had little idea about such terms as hot dog, pizza, potato chips, let alone Kentucky and McDonald's. It is the reform and opening-up policy: that has brought about the interflow of the food culture between China and the Western countries.Fast food, both Chinese and western, has several advantages. In the first place, fast food, as is characterized by its name, is fast. The food is always ready and fresh, waiting for its customers. This saves people's precious time,and consequently goes well with the tempo of life in modern society.Secondly, it is very convenient. As we know, fast food restaurants are much the same as cafeterias.Customers may feel tree to help them to any variety provided and eat totheir hearts' content.Thirdly,fast food restaurants are environmentally comfortable. Clean dishes, shiny tables, decent service and light music all stimulate people's appetite to eat more.The above-mentioned advantages make fast food become rooted in almost all parts of the country and enjoy popularity among people. That's also why nowadays Singapore fast food, Turkish fast food and Indian-Pakistan fast food have found their homes in China.As every coin has two sides, fast food also has its disadvantages such as lack of nutrition, dull taste. Never the less, these are minor points compared with its advantages.Since most people agree with fast food, it tends to grow more rapidly.。

Nevertheless it is a fact that trading conditions remain very competitive in all our markets. This has sometimes forced us to sell some of our new lines at uneconomic prices in order to set ourselves up in fresh markets. Costs of raw materials and of labour have both greatly increased in the past year-factors which have added to the company’s difficulties. So far however we have been able to offset the effect of these increases by improvements in our methods of production. In particular the introduction of a number of entirely new, automatic machines has had a very good effect on productivity. It will be very difficult however for the company to bear the expenses as the result of cost increase. Our company is unwilling to do so in view of the highly competitive nature of our business.
