1、笔译二级实务模拟试卷 13及答案与解析 SECTION 1 Compulsory Translation (30 points) 1 It was a dark and stormy evening, rapidly turning into the proverbial dark and stormy night, and I needed to find a place to stay. I was driving along an Austrian freeway, so I did what Ive done on any number of previous occasions: I
2、 took the near exit and looked for a sign pointing to the nearest gasthof, or inn. The exit was Gleisdorf, between Graz and the Hungarian border. And off the highway, a couple of kilometers along the road, there it was, a sign at a lefthand turn, pointing up a narrow country road into the dark. The
3、sign read “Gasthof Gruber“ so of course I followed the indication. Fifteen minutes or so later, I found myself in the village of Markt, at a quaint-looking inn whose windows glowed invitingly and whose balconies were full of flowers. A smiling woman in a floor-length dirndl led me to a comfortable r
4、oom, equipped with a television and private bath. I dropped my bags, went back downstairs, and settled into the dining room, which was heated by a big, old-fashioned tiled stove. Soon I was sipping a glass of sturm, a mildly alcoholic, freshly fermented grape juice, and digging in to a bowl of delic
5、ious soup. The room, with a full breakfast, cost 30, or about $36, and my dinner, with wine, cost 10. One of the pleasures of driving in Austria is, in fact, stopping for the night. All parts of the country are studded with family-run country inns that, like the Gasthof Gruber, offer spotless, moder
6、ately priced rooms and good, sometimes excellent, food that often features specialties of the region. Room prices average 25 to 35 for a single. Some inns are clustered in towns or villages along main roadways. But many are deep in the countryside or in mountain hamlets reached by winding lanes. Sta
7、ndardized green signs bearing the name of a gasthof and the symbols of a bed and crossed knife and fork point the way at many intersections. In popular vacation areas, there may be half a dozen or more such signs stacked on one post or standing next to each other at a turn-off. In years of driving r
8、egularly in Austria, I have rarely booked a room in advance, trusting always that I will find a pleasant place to stay by following the signs. Ive rarely been disappointed, and often my night in a gasthof has proved such an enjoyable oasis between bouts of long-distance driving that I found it diffi
9、cult to leave in the morning and get back on the road. 2 For five years I have maintained our nations solid commitment to scientific research and technological development, because I believe theyre essential to our nations economic growth and to building the right kind of bridge to the 21st century.
10、 The balanced budget I will submit in just a few weeks to Congress reflects this continued commitment. And, in my upcoming State of the Union Address, Ill talk more about what we are doing to keep America on the cutting edge of the scientific and technological advancements that are driving our new g
11、lobal economy. Still, its good to remember that scientific advancement does not occur in a moral vacuum. Technological developments divorced from values will not bring us one step closer to meeting the challenges or reaping the benefits of the 21st century. This week, like many Americans, I learned
12、the profoundly troubling news that a member of the scientific community is actually laying plans to clone a human being. Personally, I believe that human cloning raises deep concerns, given our cherished concepts of faith and humanity. Beyond that, however, we know there is virtually unanimous conse
13、nsus in the scientific and medical communities that attempting to use these cloning techniques to actually clone a human being is untested, unsafe and morally unacceptable. We must continue to maintain our deep commitment to scientific research and technological development. But when it comes to a d
14、iscovery like cloning, we must move with caution, care and deep concern about the impact of our actions. That is why I banned the use of federal funds for cloning human beings while we study the risks and responsibilities of such a possibility. And thats why I sent legislation to Congress last June
15、that would ban the cloning of human beings for at least five years while preserving our ability to use the morally and medically acceptable applications of cloning technology. Unfortunately, Congress has not yet acted on this legislation. Yet, its now clearer than ever the legislation is exactly wha
16、t is needed. The vast majority of scientists and physicians in the private sector have refrained from using these techniques improperly, and have risen up to condemn any plans to do so. But we know its possible for some to ignore the consensus of their colleagues and proceed without regard to our co
