1、笔译三级实务(综合)模拟试卷 12及答案与解析 一、 PART 1 English-Chinese Translation (60 points) Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this part is 120 minutes. 1 Those same politicians are driven by an intent to use the countrys resources to maximum financial benefit, whatever they may be, however tr
2、easured and iconic. 2 The challenge for China and other emerging markets is how to meet that demand without destroying both the oil budgets and the quality of the air. 3 GMs hydrogen fuel car in China underscores a drive toward going green, company CEO Rick Wagoner says. 4 Air pollution is not a pop
3、ular subject, which is why little notice has been taken of an EU judgment against the UK on the subject. 5 They may pay lip service to respecting our heritage and environment. 6 Carbon monoxide doesnt normally cause problems in a well-ventilated area where the gas is spread, but if it builds up in e
4、nclosed or poorly-ventilated spaces, it causes poisoning when the fumes are inhaled. 7 Pollution and Ecocrisis The problem of pollution is also of great social concern. Continued population increase, accompanied by a rise in the level of living standards, not only threatens to exhaust American resou
5、rces but pollutes the environment to such an extent that production in the thickly settled area is impossible without damaging the health of the local residents. Smog, once an urban annoyance, is now recognized as a health risk, and the automobile has been pinpointed as the principal culprit. Heavy
6、industries have been blamed for river, soil, air, noise and visual pollutions. DDT and other chemical remedies have been doing more ecological harm than the good that they may have brought along. Several decades ago, Americans dumped raw sewage into rivers and many industrial plants are now still du
7、mping chemical pollutants into lakes, rivers and oceans. Oceans used to be and are still being considered to be a reserve of seafood. Today, after the oceans have become the home of all pollutants, this use of the oceans is being reduced at an alarming rate. The worst pollution threat is concentrate
8、d in and near large cities. There the people-made pollutants increasingly surpass the ability of air and water to dilute the contaminants to safe levels. The natural ecological cycle depends on plants, which absorb some pollutants and release oxygen to the air. But near large cities, natural vegetat
9、ion becomes scarce, and introduced trees, ornamental shrubs and gardens are far from adequate in absorbing motor vehicle and industrial air pollutants. Finally, some pollutants, most notably atomic waste, may continue to contaminate air, land, and water for thousands of years. Therefore, ecocrisis e
10、cocatastrophe or ecocide has been for some time one of the major concerns of not only the ecoactivists and environmentalists, but of many scientists of other fields and the government authorities of many countries as well. Last but not least, there is the question of whether the people will eventual
11、ly be able to solve all these problems. The American continent is a wealthy land inhabited by many able and well-educated people. There today, people have originated a life-style which is known to the world as being characteristic of a society of consumption a life-style based on the prodigal use of
12、 material goods. They are using up many times their share of the earths resources at a rate unparalleled in history. And I am sorry to say that this life-style of American has been copied by the people of many developed countries, leading to the greatest problem of the modern world as a whole. So I
13、must ask: Are the Americans apt enough to cooperate with other peoples to prevent overpopulation, resource exhaustion, the catastrophe of pollution and the wanton waste of wealth-problems which are basic to the solution of many outstanding economic, social and political problems ? Only time will tel
14、l. 8 Air Pollution and the Importance of Trees Air pollution is not a popular subject, which is why little notice has been taken of an EU judgment against the UK on the subject, but it deserves full attention: it shows how much we care about the environment and our health. London has the worst air q
15、uality of any capital city in Europe and there are 12 other areas of Britain with serious air pollution problems largely caused by vehicles. After smoking it is the biggest threat to health. Despite this, the government plans to delay introducing mandatory cuts to pollutant levels as required by the
16、 European Commission, and faces large fines as a result. I am fortunate to live in one of the few places in Britain where the air quality is so good rare lichens survive still and the light is crystal clear; whenever I visit London, within minutes my eyes become irritated and my throat sore, and I f
17、eel poisoned, which of course I am, and it is extraordinary that millions of people in Britain and most world cities are being damaged to such an extent that their life expectancy is being reduced daily. The official concern is of the impact of these pollutants on public health, but my concern exten
18、ds to include the effect on the birds, insects and mammals which share our cities too. They are so small, and so suffer so much more. It seems that, in order to comply with the law, the government is considering introducing a national zone system from which the worst polluting vehicles will be banne
19、d. It will help, but could lead to the traffic being diverted to pollute the countryside instead. Why do they not consider banning polluting vehicles altogether? It would be so much easier as well as cleaner but then business circle would be upset, and that would never do. Would it? It is refreshing
20、 to hear of a quiet but very significant report by experts which will confirm the importance of trees and forests for the maintenance of essential eco-systems, for flood management, reduction of carbon emissions, wildlife benefits and public enjoyment. The findings, to be published today, will asser
21、t, I believe, that this free but immensely valuable resource has been ignored and underestimated for too long, and that the number of forested areas in England should be increased by 50 per cent over the next few decades, as well as being held in trust for the people of Britain rather than being sol
22、d off for profit as once intended by government. It is good news. However, the money issue once again will determine the outcome of the report. It is ironic that just as there is criticism led by politicians and the media about bankers trying to make profit out of market manipulation, those same pol
23、iticians are driven by an intent to use British resources to maximum financial benefit, whatever they may be, however treasured and iconic. They may pay lip service to respecting our heritage and environment, but given the choice between making money by felling timber in great quantities and investi
24、ng in caring for and developing our woodlands, profit usually will be the preferred choice of action. It may not be illegal as it is in the case of the bankers activities, but for me it is just as unethical as well as being very short-sighted. The report on Englands forests deserves full attention b
