25、don“t know all the answers to the little questions yet. (分数:60.00)_正确答案:()解析:当科学家评估龙卷风与气候变化的联系时,通常会问两大问题:第一,2011 年的龙卷风是否是一种趋势? 到目前为止,龙卷风的活性是否因全球气温的上升发生了改变? 第二,造成龙卷风的因素是否受到了气候变化的影响,这些因素未来是否可能受到影响。 首先,我们有关龙卷风趋势的数据还有待完善。乍一看,你可能认为龙卷风的数量自 20 世纪 90 年代后有所增加。但这极有可能是人们公众意识的提高、媒体对龙卷风的正面报道以及技术改进的结果,这些提高了人们发现小型
26、、微弱龙卷风和人烟稀少地区龙卷风的能力。而不良数据意味着,我们不能肯定龙卷风发生的频率是否在增加。 很多事情都能够影响那些引发龙卷风的因素。科学家发现,气候变化便是其中之一。但当科学家们查阅密西西比河流域过去 30 年间四月份的数值时,他们并没有找到任何显示龙卷风天气已经变得越来越频繁的证据。 因此,我们不能将东南亚最近一连串龙卷风天气归咎于气候变化。但也不能说气候变化不能引发龙卷风天气,或气候变化不是导致龙卷风天气的一个因素,或气候变化将来不会造成龙卷风天气。甚至也不能说从现在起几年内,随着更多的数据和先进技术的出现,我们不会发现一个在今天看来不明显的趋势。那个至关重要的问题龙卷风是否是由气
27、候变化引起的?是由许多小问题组成的。对于这些小问题,我们尚未找到答案。 解析 For one thing, our data on tornado trends are imperfect. “for one thing”常常用于列举原因,这里译为表示先后顺序的“首先”。“imperfect”是“不完美,不完善”的意思,译为“有待完善”。 首先,我们有关龙卷风趋势的数据还有待完善。 But most of that is actually the result of more public awareness and better reporting and technology, impro
28、ving our ability to spot smaller, weaker tornadoes and to notice tornadoes in places where few people live. “public awareness”指的是“公众意识”;“places where few people live”指的是居住人数非常少、几乎没有什么人居住的地方,因此译为“人烟稀少的地区”。 但这极有可能是人们公众意识的提高、媒体对龙卷风的正面报道以及技术改进的结果,这些提高了人们发现小型、微弱龙卷风和人烟稀少地区龙卷风的能力。 Scientists have found tha
29、t climate change is something that can affect tornado conditions. 这句话承接了上句,上句中说很多因素都会引发龙卷风,这里为了避免重复,让语言更加简洁,可译为“气候变化便是其中之一”,与上句密切地结合在了一起。 科学家发现气候变化便是其中之一。 Because of that,it would be problematic to claim that the recent spate of tornadoes in the Southeast was caused by climate change “it would be pr
30、oblematic to”即“做某事是有问题的,不确定的”,可译为“不能做某事”,表达否定这种行为的含义。“spate”为“突然进发的;一阵阵的”,“a spate of”在这里可译为“一连串的”。 因此,我们不能将东南亚最近一连串龙卷风天气归咎于气候变化。 But that“s not the same as saying tornadoes can“t be caused by climate change. It“s not the same as saying that climate change isn“t a contributing factor. Or that tornad
31、oes won“t be caused by climate change in the future. 这几句话都是以“It/that is not the same as saying”开头的,翻译时可将它们合并起来,以“或或”连接。 但也不能说气候变化不能引发龙卷风天气,或气候变化不是导致龙卷风天气的一个因素,或气候变化将来不会造成龙卷风天气。31.有时候,在工作中重要的是能否处理好人际关系而不是有多大的才能。人际关系就是一种善于听取别人意见、体察别人的需要、虚心接受批评的能力。善于处理人际关系的人敢于承认错误,敢于承担自己的责任,这是对待错误的一种成熟和负责任的态度。因为他们很注意处理各方面的关系,所以八面玲珑,到处有缘。而人际关系差的人往往不能处理好批评。碰到错误,他们首先想到自己,拒不承认自己有错,或情绪低落,或大发雷霆。 (分数:60.00)_正确答案:()解析:Sometimes it is interpersonal skills rather than professional
