1、翻译二级口译实务-8 及答案解析(总分:150.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、BPart /B(总题数:2,分数:50.00)1.BPassage 1/B I want today to set debt reduction in the context of development challenges of poor countries. My key message is that we need a change in the way we look at the purpose of debt relief: from ending debt to ending poverty.
2、I think that debt relief is a strong antipoverty weapon, but it must be part of a broader development strategy. We need to look beyond external sustainability to include internal sustainability as well. Domestic debt in some countries is a huge problem, and for several African countries it takes mor
3、e than 10% of domestic revenue. This points us back to the government budget. We should think about working not just from the concept of external sustainability, but from the expenditure required to pursue the International Development Strategy. This means looking at each countrys domestic strategy
4、for poverty elimination and its internal needs and constraints. Now is a time for new thinking, and the task is an urgent one. One out of four people in the world live in absolute poverty. Deserts are spreading, forests are shrinking, and seas are being over-fished. With projections of growing strai
5、n on all natural resources of the world, and the likelihood of increasing violent conflict and calamity arising from that, it is not just morally imperative that we act to give the poor of the world the chance to get out of poverty; it is in our interest to do so. There can be no secure future for o
6、ur children and grandchildren unless we build a more equitable world. So, we need to implement this change in the goal of debt relief: from ending debt to ending poverty. Debt reduction from now on has to be linked to the international development strategy. Debt is not evil in itself. Borrowing for
7、high-quality investment is clearly beneficial and appreciated. The aim should be for countries to borrow prudently along a sustainable path to fund priority investments. This requires a clear debt management strategy. To make real progress, the government and people of each country must develop a cl
8、early defined approach to this complex challenge. The priorities of government budgets are obviously central to this. We need to look at the expenditure necessary to achieve poverty reduction objectives and then see how debt reduction can contribute to making it possible. We must always remember deb
9、t relief is a means to an end not an end in itself. Debt relief has some important benefits for countries concerned. Firstly, it frees the governments own resources to fund development. Secondly, it is a way of signaling donor support for the long-term programs of a government. Thirdly, it can help
10、to simulate the investment necessary for long-term growth. But, of course, sometimes debt relief will not be the right option. Aid funds used for debt relief have an opportunity cost. Sometimes money will be better spent on direct support for the health or education sectors, or to promote sustainabl
11、e livelihood. The key question to ask is what the role debt relief plays in eliminating poverty.(分数:25.00)_2.BPassage 2/B What we need is a “Culture of Tolerance“, a way to reconcile the need for identity with an open and outward-looking spirit. Tolerance does not mean indifference towards those we
12、see as “others“ than ourselves, towards their culture and religion, background or origin. Tolerance requires that we have some knowledge arid understanding of these others. When familiar structures disappear, borders become irrelevant and the language of the market invades every aspect of dally life
13、, people increasingly look to their cultural roots. They seek to reassert their identity-in terms of language, ethnic origin, religion or cultural heritage. To want to know who and what you are is a natural and very powerful human need. It is a need, I believe, responsible leaders should respond to,
14、 got suppress, because only the right kind of response will prevent people from turning to the false and dangerous supporter of nationalism, fundamentalism or xenophobia. Howeverand this is crucial responsible leaders must resist the temptation to exploit this need for their own purposes. The fright
15、ening scenario of escalating cultural conflict in a world of soon seven billion people should be a strong incentive for all of us to look for practical ways to foster cooperation. We are required to provide honest answers to tough questions which I do not want to suppress. What are different religio
16、us groups ready to contribute to this joint effort? Is there a readiness to seriously discuss the tensions and contradictions that arise from a strict interpretation of different religions on the one hand and fundamental human rights as we understand them on the other? Can we reach a consensus on th
17、e rights of women, on their full participation in society, on their equal right to education and training? Is there a broad consensus to unambiguously condemn any religious justification of suicide attacks? Can we work together to find a peaceful and just agreement on the question of Jerusalem, ther
18、eby resolving one of the most difficult issues of the Middle East conflict? An agreement which will provide a peaceful solution that satisfies all the faithful, one that is worthy of the three great religions? Those are questions we cannot evade if we are serious about preventing cultural and politi
19、cal faultiness. We must engage in a dialogue among civilizations, a commitment to the peaceful resolution of differences, to tolerance and mutual respect. That is a challenge that requires a clear understanding, however, of our own fundamental values, values we must defend but also live up to. Our w
20、orld will always be defined by the diversity of our societies and cultural traditions. If there is respect and tolerance for our differences, they will enrich all our lives. But if such differences are exploited for political ends, they may cause untold harm. What is the real meaning of tolerance an
21、d dialogue in this whole process? This dialogue can only succeed, if Orient and Occident engage in it on equal terms. Tolerance, then, means respecting the fact that civilizations are different. Dialogue, as I see it, means seeking a common understanding of those values that will guide us through th
22、e twenty-first century. This kind of “intercultural dialogue“ is a very ambitious goal. To achieve it, we must all begin work at home, within our own societies. We for our part are striving to develop and practice the kind of tolerance I have described. That needs time and in some cases requires dif
23、ficult judgments. Once we have reached a clear and solid consensus on those values we hold in common, it is up to political leaders to endorse these rights. They must defend this spirit of openness in society, defend it against the modem fundamentalisms that seek to impose their own absolute truths.
24、 For me, this also means people must be free to practice their religion. The way minorities are treated is the true test of the “culture of tolerance“ for which I am calling. True tolerance is an expression of self-confidence, not weakness. It is only when we succeed with this dialogue within our so
