全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.Freed by warming, waters once locked beneath ice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle.In Bykovsky, a village of 457 residents at the tip of a fin-shaped peninsula on Russia’s northeast coast, the shoreline is collapsing, creeping closer and closer to houses and tanks of heating oil, at a rate of 15 to 18 feet, or 5 to 6 meters, a year. Eventually, homes will be lost as more ice melts each summer, and maybe all of Bykovsky, too.“It is practically all ice —permafrost —and it is thawing.” The 4 million Russian people who live north of the Arctic Circle are feeling the effects of warming in many ways. A changing climate presents new opportunities, but it also threatens their environment, the stability of their homes, and, for those whose traditions rely on the ice-bound wilderness, the preservation of their culture.A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries its own rewards and dangers for people in the region. Discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil or liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed for the eager markets of Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by air and water pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry.Coastal erosion is a problem in Alaska as well, forcing the United States to prepare to relocate several Inuit coastal villages at a projected cost of US$100 million or more for each one.Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with cultural traditions shaped by centuries of living in extremes of cold and ice are noticing changes in weather and笔译实务(英语·三级)试卷第 1 页(共3 页)wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding.In Finnmark, the northernmost province of Norway, the Arctic landscape unfolds in late winter as an endless snowy plateau, silent but for the cries of the reindeer and the occasional whine of a snowmobile herding them.A changing Arctic is felt there, too, though in another way. “The reindeer are becoming unhappy,” said Issat Eir a, a 31-year-old reindeer herder.Few countries rival Norway when it comes to protecting the environment and preserving indigenous customs. The state has lavished its oil wealth on the region, and as a result Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance.And yet no amount of government support can convince Eira that his livelihood, intractably entwined with the reindeer, is not about to change. Like a Texas cattleman he keeps the size of his herd secret. But he said warmer temperatures in fall and spring are melting the top layers of snow, which then refreeze as ice, making it harder for his reindeer to dig through to the lichen they eat.“The people who are making the decisions, they are living in the south and they are living in towns,” said Eira, sitting beside a birch fire inside his lavvu, a home made of reindeer hides. “They don’t mark the change of weather. It is only people who live in nature and get resources from nature who mark it.”Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into English.中国为种类繁多的菜肴感到十分自豪。

CATTI 三级笔译实务全真模拟题(附参考译文)Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)第一部分:英汉翻译(50分)Translate the following passage into Chinese.①In Aaron Walsh's course on Collaborative Computing at Boston College, students learn how to work in teams to program software. It's not an easy class, but Walsh sees his students only once at the start of the semester. After that, they work in a virtual 3-D world, which Walsh - a former video game programmer - helped design. Logging in via their PCs or laptops, the professor and students interact and work together as digital avatars - just like they would in programs like Second Life, using voice - over - Internet to talk or ask questions. The class is part of a fast - growing movement to apply state - of - the - art computer - game technology to U.S. college learning. Similar experiments have been conducted at Harvard, Amherst and MIT.②Long gone are the days when “online education” meant little more than digitized correspondence courses. Today it features videos and podcasts, blogs and live chats, Webcams and wikis, and online courses are becoming ever more popular. This fall, more than 4 million students in the United States will take at least one course online, says Frank Mayadas, an expert on education technology at the Sloan Foundation in New York. America's biggest online school, the University of Phoenix, has grown from 80,000 students in 2000 to 345,000 students today and is on track to reach 500,000 by 2010.③Already popular with universities, which see such programs a way to boost enrollment and revenue, and with students, who love the flexibility and the lower tuition costs, online learning has gotten another big boost from the high price of gas, Four out of five U.S. college students now commute to campus every day, and admissions officers say fuel costs have helped push up online enrollment by 100 percent at some colleges in the past year.④Many such programs are also shedding their second-class status. Elite U.S.colleges like MIT and Stanford have begun offering a growing number of degrees online, Stanford alone now boasts more than 50 different online master's programs, most of them in engineering and science, which have no physical classroom component but which Stanford claims are just as good as its on-campus offerings. A few schools, like the State University of New York and the University of Illinois, have abolished the separation of online from campus programs entirely, awarding the same degree for both. The next step: allowing students themselves to mix and match campus and online coursework at will.⑤Employers have been slow to catch on; while 83 percent of U.S. hiring managers said in a June survey that online degrees are more accepted today than five years ago, only 35 percent considered them equal to traditional degrees. Indeed, there is no good virtual replacement yet for hands -on study in subjects like physics, biology or anatomy, which require physical contact materials. Some educators are also skeptical, complaining about the for-profit nature of many online programs and the fact that they fail to replicate free-flowing conversations. “You lose something by not having human contact,” says Anita Levy of the American Association of University Professors.⑥Yet other experts argue that Web-based learning is actually closer to students’ future on-the-job realities. “Much business is now conducted online,” says Mayadas. “Education is mimicking the way we conduct business, communicate and exchange ideas today.”⑦The future of online learning, Mayadas says, lies in “blended”programs that combine faculty face time with the flexibility of online teaching. The move to such hybrids will be driven by students questioning why they should sit in lectures taking notes three times a week when they can go once and do the rest at their own pace online. Universities and colleges, for their part, like the fact that mixed programs allow them to cut down on physical classes, saving money and creating space for more students.⑧Blended programs will also go a long way toward meeting the critics who contend that digital learning will never replace the campus experience. By combiningface -to -face interaction with new online options in more powerful ways, these programs should offer the best of both worlds - rendering moot today's debate over whether virtual or in - person degrees are best.【参考译文】①艾伦·沃什在波士顿学院开设的“协同计算”课程教学生如何以团队形式编写软件这门课不简单,但沃什只在每学期开始时见学生一次,之后都在虚拟的3D 世界授课。

[模拟] 翻译三级口译综合能力模拟9Part Ⅰ A[听力原文]1-10In April, the Manhattan Institute released its yearly study of graduation rates. The research group used information from 2003. The researchers found that 72 percent of girls successfully completed their high school education. That compared to 65 percent of boys. The newspaper Education Week noted earlier this year that, in some ways, what people are worried about now is really not new. Boys have scored lower than girls on tests in the National Assessment of Educational Progress since at least 1971.And the differences are not limited to the United States. Education Week noted the results of an international reading test in 2003. Fifteen-year-olds took the test in 41 countries. Girls scored higher than boys in almost every country. Differences between males and females are a continuing issue of fierce debate. Cultural and economic influences play an important part. But recent findings suggest that another part of the answer lies in differences between the male and female brains.These include differences in learning rates. As a result, some researchers say, boys may not be able to develop language and reading skills as well as girls do. The last time there was a lot of concern about differences in school, it was about girls, especially in math and science classes. Efforts to improve the situation for girls included hiring more female teachers. Yet some people think theopposite situation exists now. They say not enough male teachers is one reason why boys may not learn as well in class. Another explanation being heard involves the increased testing in American schools. Some people say schools are preparing for these important tests by forcing boys to sit quietly at their desks. They say this is unfair. Still others say that society is failing boys, by giving them the message that studying is not manly. And others say boys are failing in school because they become too interested in the girls in their classes. One attempt to solve problems like these is the use of same-sex classrooms. 第1题:For the past two decades, girls have always achieved high scores than boys.A.trueB.false参考答案:A答案解析:推理判断题。

翻译三级笔译实务分类模拟题9 (总分:100.00,做题时间:90分钟) 一、English Chinese Translation(总题数:5,分数:100.00) 1.Two teams of astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have overturned several decades of conjecture and theory by ruling out the possibility that small, dim stars make up most of the mass in the universe. Until now, small stars known as faint red dwarfs were considered ideal candidates for the socalled "dark matter" that is believed to account for more than 90 percent of the mass of the universe. All visible celestial objects, such as planets, stars and galaxies, are believed to account for only 10 percent of the mass of the universe. The rest of the "missing mass" is presumably invisible because it does not emit or reflect light, or the light is too feeble to be detected. But dark matter can be indirectly detected due to its gravitational influence on other visible objects. According to Bacall, professor of natural science at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey and leader of one of the teams, the nature of dark matter, and its abundance, are among the most important questions in modem cosmology today. The ultimate fate of the universe will be determined by the amount of dark matter present. If there is not enough dark matter to bind the universe together gravitationally, it could continue expanding forever. If there is enough mass to hold the universe together gravitationally, the universe may slow down its expansion, come to a halt and begin to contract and eventually collapse.
(分数:20.00) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:() 解析:两个天文学家小组用哈勃太空望远镜排除了宇宙暗弱的小行星构成宇宙主要质量的可能性,从而推翻了几十年来的推测和理论。 到现在为止,被称为淡红矮星的小星体一直被认为是所谓的“暗物质”的理想物质。天文学家认为,整个宇宙的百分之九十都是由这种暗物质构成的。 天文学家认为,行星、恒星和银河之类的所有可以看得见的天体只是构成了宇宙质量的百分之十左右。其他的“隐形质量”是不可见的,由于它们不自己发光,也不反射光,或者是发出的光太微弱,因而无法被探测到。但是由于暗物质对其他可见天体有引力作用,因此可以间接被检测到。 巴考尔是新泽西州普林斯顿高级研究所的自然科学的教授,也是两组天文学家中其中一组的学科带头人。按照他的说法,关于暗物质的本质和存在丰富性的讨论,是当代天文学上的重要研究课题之一。 宇宙的最终命运将由存在的暗物质的量来决定。如果没有足够的暗物质通过引力作用将宇宙粘合在一起的话,宇宙就会永远不停地膨胀。然而,如果能有足够的质量通过引力作用把宇宙拉合在一起的话,宇宙就有可能减速并停止膨胀,并开始收缩,并最终坍缩。 2.Imagine fishermen walking down to the seashore, ready to carry out their early morning routine of preparing their boats and net. As usual they hope for a good catch of fish. But to their astonishment, a horrible sight meets their still sleepy eyes. Thousands of fish have been washed ashore dead. The cause of this mass destruction? A red tide! Red tides are a global phenomenon, They have been observed on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts of the United States and Canada. They have also occurred in many other places. Though relatively few people are aware of them, red tides are not new. In the Philippines, a red tide was first seen in the province of Bata an in 1908. Since then, red tides have been seen in many other coastal areas A Philippines red tide expert told us that "besides the fish kills, the Philippines has documented 1,926 eases of dead shellfish poisoning caused by red tides." The term "red tide" applies to the discoloration of water that sometimes occurs in certain areas of the ocean or sea. Although the color is often red, it may also be shades of brown or yellow. The World Book Encyclopedia reports that "the discolored areas may range from less than a few square yards to more than 2,600 square kilometers." What causes such discoloration? Red tides are generally caused by several species of single-celled organisms. These tiny organisms have hair-like projections which they use to propel them-selves in water. There are about 2,000 varieties of these organisms, 30 of which carry poisonous substances these minute organisms usually stay in warm waters with high content of salt. A red tide occurs when there is a sudden and rapid bloom of these organisms. The concentration of these organisms may swell to 50,000,000 per quart of water! Although scientists do not fully understand why this happens. It is known that these organisms accumulate when certain conditions simultaneously affect the water. These include abnormal weather, optimum temperatures, an over-supply of nutrients in the water, a generous amount of sunlight, and favorable water currents. When a heavy rainfall occurs, minerals and other nutrients are sometimes washed from the land into coastal water. These nutrients can contribute to the breeding of the organisms. The result? Red tides!
(分数:20.00) __________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:() 解析:1908年,在菲律宾的巴塔安省首次发现了赤潮。从那以后,在其他许多沿海地区也相继发现了赤潮。菲律宾的一位赤潮专家告诉我们:“除了导致鱼死亡外,菲律宾还有过1926宗因赤潮而使贝类中毒的事例。” “赤潮”这个术语有时用来表示发生在海或洋的某些区域的水变色。水的颜色通常是红色的,但是也可能是棕色或黄色。《世界书籍百科全书》介绍说,“变色的区域可能在不少于几平方码到2600平方千米之间。” 是什么导致这样的水变色呢?一般来说,赤潮是由好几种单细胞种类生物引发的。这些微生物有像头发一样的突出物质,它们用这些东西在水中向前移动。大约有2000种这样的生物,其中的30种包含有毒的物种。这些微生物通常生活于含盐量高的温带水域。 这些生物突然并且快速繁殖时就会发生赤潮。这些生物的密度可能大量增加到每夸脱水5000万个的标准!尽管科学家没有完全了解发生这种现象的原因,但是他们知道:当某些环境同时影响海水时,这些生物就会积聚。这些环境包括反常的天气、适宜的湿度、海水中营养物的过度供应、充足的阳光以及起促进作用的水流。当出现暴雨时,矿物质和其他营养物有时被从陆地冲向沿海水域。这些营养物可能促进这些微生物的生长。结果是什么呢?赤潮! 3.With 950 million people, India ranks second to China among the most populous countries. But since China launched a family planning program in 1971, India has been closing the gap Indians have reduced their birth rate but not nearly as much as the Chinese have. If current growth rates continue, India"s population will pass China"s around the year 2028 at about 1.7 billion. Should that happen, it won"t be the fault of the enlightened women of Kerala, a state in southern India. While India as a whole adds almost 20 million people a year, Kerala"s population is virtually stable. The reason is no mystery: nearly two-thirds of Kerala women practice birth control, compared with about 40% in the entire nation. The difference lies in the emphasis put on health programs, including birth control, by the state authorities, which in 1957 became India"s first elected Communist government. And an educational tradition and matrilineal (母系的) customs in parts of Kerala help girls and boys get equally good schooling. While one in three Indian women is literate, 90% of those in Kerala can read and write. Higher literacy rates foster family planning. "Unlike our parents, we know that we can do more for our children if we have fewer of them," says Laial Cherian, 33, who lives in the village of Kuda-maloor. She has limited herself as three children—one below the national average of four. That kind of restraint (抑制,克制) will keep Kerala from putting added pressure on world food supplies.
