2006年5月翻译资格考试三级笔译真题

5月翻译资格考试三级笔译真题预测 第一部分 英译汉 Freed by warming, waters once locked beneath ice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle. In Bykovsky, a village of 457 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 a year. "It is practically all ice - permafrost - and it is thawing." For the four million people who live north of the Arctic Circle, a changing climate presents new opportunities. But it also threatens their environment, 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. The discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by 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 villages at a projected cost of $100 million or more for each one. Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with traditions shaped by centuries of living in extremes of cold and ice are noticing changes in weather and wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding. In Finnmark, Norway's northernmost province, 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. "The reindeer are becoming unhappy," said Issat Eira, 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 Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance. And yet no amount of government support can convince Mr. 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 were 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 Mr. Eira, sitting inside his 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." 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. The discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry. 第二部分：汉译英 维护世界和平，增进共同发展，谋求合伙共赢，是各国人民旳共同愿望，也是不可抗拒旳当今时代潮流。中国高举和平、发展、合伙旳旗帜，坚持走和平发展道路，与世界各国一道，共同致力于建设一种持久和平、共同繁华旳和谐世界。 中国与世界从未像今天这样紧密相连。中国政府把中国人民旳主线利益与各国人民旳共同利益结合起来，坚持奉行防御性旳国防政策。中国旳国防服从和服务于国家发展战略和安全战略，旨在维护国家安全统一，保证明现全面建设小康社会旳宏伟目旳。中国永远是维护世界和平、安全、稳定旳坚定力量。 中国在经济不断发展旳基本上推动国防和军队现代化，是适应世界新军事变革发展趋势、维护国家安全和发展利益旳需要。中国不会与任何国家进行军备竞赛，不会对任何国家构成军事威胁。新世纪新阶段，中国把科学发展观作 为国防和军队建设旳重要指引方针，积极推动中国特色军事变革，努力实现国防和军队建设全面协调可持续发展。 韩教师参照译文： 随着全球变暖，海冰逐渐融化，海水水位上涨，侵蚀着北极圈附近旳沿海居住区。 位于俄罗斯东北海岸旳拜考夫斯凯村（Bykovsky）居住着457名村民，这里旳海岸线逐渐受到侵蚀，每年以15至18英尺旳速度后退，日益逼近村舍和取暖用油桶。 “这里事实上是永冻层，全是冰，而目前冰层都在融化。”对于生活在北极圈以北旳400万居民来说，气候变化带来了新机遇，但也对她们旳生活环境和住所构成了威胁。诸多居民世代生活在冰天雪地旳荒野里，形成了自己独特旳文化习俗，气候变化给本地文化保护工作也同样带来了威胁。 随着北冰洋海冰日渐融化，人们开始加速开发北极地区，这对于生活在极地旳居民来说利弊兼有。在巴伦支海和卡拉海地区发现了大型油田后，人们不禁紧张，满载着石油（不久后还会有液化气）旳船只穿行斯堪旳纳维亚沿岸旳渔场前去欧洲和北美市场旳途中也许会发生劫难性事故。随着北极地区能源工业旳蓬勃发展，发电厂、烟囱和大型运送工具等配套设备、设施相继建立或浮现，这片未被人类染指旳净土也终将会受到污染。 阿拉斯加也面临海岸线遭受侵蚀旳问题。对此，美国政府筹划对因纽特人居住旳几种村庄进行迁移，每个村庄旳迁移成本估计在1亿美元以上。

2022年5月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译真题及答案试题部分：Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese.NARSAQ, Greenland —as icebergs in the Kayak Harbor pop and hiss while melting away, this remote Arctic town and its culture are also disappearing in a changing climate.Narsaq’s largest employer, a shrimp factory, closed a few years ago after the crustaceans fled north to cooler water. Where once there were eight commercial fishing vessels, there is now one.As a result, the populati on here, one of southern Greenland’s major towns, has been halved to 1,500 in just a decade. Suicides are up.“Fishing is the heart of this town,〞said Hans Kaspersen, 63, a fisherman. “Lots of people have lost their livelihoods.〞But even as warming temperatures are upending traditional Greenlandic life, they are also offering up intriguing new opportunities for this state of 57,000 —perhaps nowhere more so than here in Narsaq.Vast new deposits of minerals and gems are being discovered as Greenland’s massive ice cap recedes, forming the basis of a potentially lucrative mining industry. One of the world’s largest deposits of rare earth metals —essential for manufacturing cellphones, wind turbines and electric cars — sits just outside Narsaq. It has long been known that Greenland sat upon vast mineral lodes, and the Danish government has mapped them intermittently for decades. Niels Bohr, Denmark’s Nobel Prize-winning nuclear physicist and a member of the Manhattan Project, visited Narsaq in 1957 because of its uranium deposits.But previous attempts at mining mostly failed, proving too expensive in the inclement conditions. Now, warming has altered the equation.Greenland’s Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum, charged with managing the boom, currently has 150 active licenses for mineral exploration, up from 20 a decade ago. Altogether, companies spent $100 million exploring Greenland’s deposits last year, and several are applying for licenses to begin construction on new mines, bearing gold, iron and zinc and rare earths. There are also foreign companies exploring for offshore oil.The Black Angel lead and zinc mine, which closed in 1990, is applying to reopen this year, said Jorgen T.Hammeken-Holm, who oversees licensing at the country’s miningbureau, “because the ice is in retreat and you’re getting much more to explore.〞The Greenlandic government hopes that mining will provide new revenue. In granting Greenland home rule in 2022, Denmark froze its annual subsidy, which is scheduled to be decreased further in the coming years.Here in Narsaq, a collection of brightly painted homes bordered by spectacular fjords, two foreign companies are applying to the government for permission to mine.That proximity promises employment, and the company is already schooling some young men in drilling and in English, the international language of mine operations. It plans to build a processing plant, a new port and more roads. (Greenland currently has none outside of settled areas.) Narsaq’s tiny airport, previously threatened with closure from lack of traffic, could be expanded. A local landlord is contemplating converting an abandoned apartment block into a hotel.“There will be a lot of people coming from outside and that will be a big challenge since Greenlandic culture has been isolated,〞 said Jasper Schroder, a student home in Narsaq from university in Denmark.Still, he supports the mine and hopes it will provide jobs and stem the rash of suicides, particularly among his peers; Greenland has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. “People in this culture don’t want to be a burden to their families if they can’t contribute,〞 he said.But not all are convinced of the benefits of mining. “Of course the mine will help the local economy and will help Greenla nd, but I’m not so sure if it will be good for us,〞said Dorothea Rodgaard, who runs a local guesthouse. “We are worried about the loss of nature.〞Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (汉译英) Translate the following passage into English.中华民族历经磨难，自强不息，从未放弃对美妙梦想的向往和追求。

2006年11月翻译资格考试三级笔译真题第一部分：英译汉Faced with growing evidence that avian influenza is spreading in birds, the World Health Organization on Wednesday signed an agreement with the Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche Holding to build up its stockpile of medicines in case of a pandemic in humans.Under the agreement, Roche will reserve three million treatments of its Tamiflu antiviral medicine for use by the UN agency in case of a worldwide human pandemic of avian flu."It's just enough to deal with an initial outbreak," said Jong-Wook Lee, director-general of the WHO. "But clearly this is not enough to deal with a full pandemic."The agency says only 57 people in Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia have died, mainly from contact with infected birds. The virus has killed millions of chickens and led to preventive culling across Asia since late 2003.Sustained human-to-human infection has not yet been recorded. But the World Health Organization warns that bird flu, which first appeared in Hong Kong in 1997, could mutate genetically, making it easier for humans to catch and transmit the disease among themselves.Signs the disease has spread recently to birds in Siberia and Kazakhstan are adding to concerns, the WHO says. A panel of EuropeanUnion experts will convene Thursday in Brussels to discuss measures to prevent the spread of bird deaths to European poultry.When asked whether he thought a widespread outbreak in humans was imminent,Lee said: "We don't know when it will come. But it would be hugely irresponsible if the WHO and member states did not take preventive measures now."Roche declined to give figures for its stockpiles of Tamiflu.A spokeswoman for the company, Martina Rupp, said it took from 12 to 18 months to deliver the drug after an order was placed- a relatively long time due to a complicated production process.第二部分：汉译英25年来，中国坚定不移地推进改革开放，社会主义市场经济体制初步建立，开放型经济已经形成，社会生产力和综合国力不断增强，各项社会事业全面发展，人民生活总体上实现了由温饱到小康的历史性跨越。

His work helped usher in a new era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific community’s understanding of atomic and subatomic processes.Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Planck worked out an equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to high frequencies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later called quantums. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E, equals hv. The constant, h, is known as Planck’s constant. It is now recogni zed as one of the fundamental constants of the world.Planck announced his findings in 1900, but it was years before the full consequences of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck made significant contributions to optics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, physical chemistry, among other fields.51. In which of the following fields did Max Planck not make a significant contribution?A. Optics.B. Thermodynamics.C. Statistical mechanics.D. Biology.52. The w ord “revolutionary〞 as used in line 16 means .A. radicalB. extremistC. momentousD. militaristic53. It can be inferred from the passage that Planck’s work led to the development of which of the following?A. The rocket.B. The atomic bomb.C. The internal combustion engine.D. The computer.54. The particles of electromagnetic radiation given off by matter are known as .A. quantumsB. atomsC. electronsD. valences55. The implication in this passage is that .A. only a German physicist could discover such a theoryB. quantum theory, which led to the development of twentieth century physics, is basically a mathematical formulaC. Planck’s constant was not discernible before 1900D. radiation was hard to study56. “An idea〞 as used in line 5, refers to .A. a model of matterB. emission of electromagnetic radiationC. quantumsD. the equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to high frequenciesQuestions 57－62 are based on the following passage.There has been much speculation about the origin of baseball. In 1907 a special commission decided that the modern game was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter of record that in the 1700s English boys played a game they called “baseball〞. Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first the American game had different rules and different names in various parts of the country —“town ball〞, “rounders〞, or “one old cat〞. Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of the game.Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York City. The rules Cartwright set up for his nine-player team were widely adopted by other clubs andformed the basis of modern baseball. The game w as played on a “diamond〞 infield with the bases 90 feet apart. The first team to score 21 runs was declared the winner. By 1858 the National Association of Baseball Players was formed with 25 amateur teams. The Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay players in 1869.57. Which of the following is true about the origins of baseball?A. Historians agree that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.B. Baseball, as played in the early 19th century, differed very little from today’s game.C. As early as the 1700s, English boys played a game called “baseball.〞D. The first standard set of baseball rules was established at the turn of the century.58. What was the first professional baseball team called?A. New York Knickerbockers.B. Milwaukee Braves.C. Cincinnati Red Stockings.D. Brooklyn Dodgers.59. Who first gave baseball a standard set of rules?A. Abner Doubleday.B. Alexander Cartwright.C. Albert Spalding.D. Babe Ruth.60. Which of the following was not a predecessor of baseball?A. Rounders.B. Town ball.C. Cricket.D. One old cat.61. The tone of the passage is .A. persuasiveB. informativeC. biasedD. argumentative62. The passage implies that until 1869, baseball was played for all of the following reasonsexcept .A. exerciseB. leisureC. profitD. socializingQuestions 63－68 are based on the following passage.The blue of the sea is caused by the scattering of sunlight by tiny particles suspended in the water. Blue light, being of short wavelength, is scattered more efficiently than light of longer wavelengths. Although waters of the open ocean are commonly some shade of blue, green water is commonly seen near coasts, especially in tropical or subtropical regions. This is caused by yellow pigments being mixed with blue water. Phytoplankton are one source of the yellow pigment. Other microscopic plants may color the water brown or brownish-red. Near the shore, silt or sediment in suspension can give water a brownish hue. Outflow of large rivers can often be observed many miles offshore by the coloration of suspended soil particles.Marine phytoplankton (Greek for “plant wanderers〞) are microscopic single-celled plants that include diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids, green algae, and blue-green algae, among others. The growth of these organisms, which photosynthesize light, depends on a delicate balance of nutrient enrichment via vertical mixing, which is often limited by the availability of nitrogen and light. Diatoms are one-celled plants with patterned glass coverings. Each glass, or silicon dioxide box, is ornamented with species-specific designs, pits, and perforations making them popular with microscopists and, more recently, electron scanning microscopists.63. Green water near coastlines is almost always caused by .A. sand colorB. red pigments in coastal watersC. blue pigmentD. reflected light and yellow pigment from plant life64. Phytoplankton are the source of which color pigment?A. Red.B. Green.C. Yellow.D. Blue.65. What can give waters a brownish hue near the shore?A. Sediment.B. Phytoplankton.C. Blue pigment.D. Diatoms.66. Which of the following is not a type of phytoplankton?A. Green algae.B. Diatoms.C. Blue-green algae.D. Amoeba.67. The growth of phytoplankton is often limited by the availability of .A. oxygenB. hydrogenC. nitrogenD. carbon dioxide68. The main idea of this passage is that .A. light causes sea colorB. sea coloration is varied because of a combination of length of light waves and microscopic plant life and siltC. microscopic plant life causes sea colorD. water composition causes sea colorQuestions 69－75 are based on the following passage.The United States government publishes guidelines for appropriate nutrient intakes. These are known as the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and are updated regularly based on new research in nutrition. RDAs are suggested amounts of calories, protein, and some minerals and vitamins for an adequate diet. For other dietary substances, specific goals must await further research. However, for the U.S. population as a whole, increasing starch and fiber in one’s diet and reducing calories (primarily from fats, sugar, and alcohol) is sensible. These suggestions are especially appropriate for people who have other factors for chronic diseases due to family historyof obesity, premature heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol, or for those who use tobacco.Snacks can furnish about one-fourth of the calorie requirements among teenagers. Those snacks should also pr ovide much of the day’s allowances for protein, minerals, and vitamins. Sandwiches, fruit, and milk make good snacks for active teenagers. Food from the food pyramid may be part of any meal. A grilled cheese sandwich or a bowl of whole-grain cereal is just as nutritious in the morning as it is at noon. In addition, a good breakfast consists of any foods that supply about one-fourth of the necessary nutrients for the day.69. The passage directly states that most of the U.S. population should increase their intake of.A. proteinB. fatsC. starch and fiberD. sandwiches70. A good breakfast should supply about what percentage of the necessary nutrients for the day?A. One-half.B. One-third.C. One-fourth.D. Less than one-fourth.71. The passage implies which of the following?A. The time of day when food is consumed affects its nutritive value.B. Different foods can be combined to increase total nutrition value.C. It can be detrimental to your health to eat breakfast foods later in the day.D. When food is eaten has no bearing on its nutritive effects.72. Why are RDAs regularly updated?A. New discoveries in the science of nutrition are constantly being made.B. Americans’ diets are constantly changing.C. As people age, their nutritional needs change.D. Very little is currently known about nutrition.73. In this passage RDAs refers to .A. types of vitaminsB. types of proteinC. types of mineralsD. amounts of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals74. One implication in this passage is that .A. all RDAs have been establishedB. not all RDAs have been established yetC. it’s not important to know RDAsD. RDAs are necessary only for sick people75. The reduction of calories in the diet is particularly good for people who suffer from .A. obesityB. premature heart disease and diabetesC. high blood pressure and cholesterol levelsD. all of the aboveQuestions 76－81 are based on the following passage.The most popular organic gem is the pearl. A pearl is the response of a marine mollusk to the presence of an irritating impurity accidentally introduced into its body;a cultured pearl is the result of the intentional insertion of a mother-of-pearl bead into a live mollusk. Whether introduced accidentally or intentionally, the pearl-making process is the same: the mollusk coats the irritant with a substance called nacre. Nacre is composed chiefly of calcium carbonate. Because very few natural pearls are now on the market, most pearls used in fine jewelry are cultured.These include “Biwa〞 pearls and most other freshwater pearls. Cultured pearls are not easily distinguished from natural pearls except by an expert.76. Which of the following people could tell the difference between a cultured pearl and an organic pearl?A. Scuba diver.B. Fisherman.C. Jeweler.D. Clerk.77. What is the chief component of nacre?A. Sand.B. Bead.C. Calcium carbonate.D. Biwa.78. The difference between a pearl and a cultured pearl is the nature of the .A. colorB. introduction of the irritating impurityC. coating materialD. irritating impurity79. Nacre is a substance that is .A. mechanically manufacturedB. the result of laboratory testingC. organically secreted by the molluskD. present in the chemical composition of freshwater pounds80. The main idea in this passage is that .A. most marketable pearls are cultured because nature does not produce enough of its own to satisfy the marketB. cultured pearls are of a higher quality than natural pearlsC. there are two major methods of pearl-makingD. a natural “d rought〞 of pearl production is taking place81. Cultured pearl is formed by .A. insertion of a pearl into a live molluskB. an oyster into which a piece of grit has been placedC. putting in a live molluskD. placing a bead into cultureQuestions 82－87 are based on the following passage.Stress is with us all the time. It comes from mental or emotional activity as well as physical activity. It is unique and personal to each of us. So personal, in fact,that what may be relaxing to one person may be stressful to another. For example, if you’re a busy executive who likes to keep occupied all of the time, “taking it easy〞 at the beach on a beautiful day may be extremely frustrating, nonproductive, and upsetting. You may be emotionally distressed from “doing nothing.〞 Too much emotional stress can cause physical illnesses such as high blood pressure, ulcers, or even heart disease. Physical stress from work or exercise is not likely to cause such ailments. The truth is that physical exercise can help you to relax and to better handle your mental or emotional stress.82. Which of the following people would find “taking it easy〞 stressful?A. Construction workers.B. Business executives.C. Farm workers.D. Truck drivers.83.

Some people have only one such psychotic episode. Others have many episodes during a lifetime but lead relatively normal lives during interim periods. The individual with chronic (continuous or recurring) schizophrenia often does not fully recover normal functioning and typically requires long-term treatment, generally including medication, to control the symptoms. These symptoms may include hallucinations (幻觉), incoherence, delusions, lack of judgment, deterioration of the abilities to reason and feel emotion, and a lack of interaction between the patient and his environment. The hallucinations may be a visual, auditory, or tactile. Some chronic schizophrenic patients may never be able to function without assistance of one sort or another.88.

The most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild. It is also cheap.For millions of people suffering from arthritis, it is the only thing that works. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users. Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of tree barks and leaves which today are known to contain a chemical found in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 1915, aspirin tablets were available in the United States.A small quantity of aspirin relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by affecting some of the body’s reactions. Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste.

2022年5月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译真题及答案试题部分：Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese.Spain — Back home in Gambia, Amadou Jallow was, at 22, a lover of reggae who had just finished college and had landed a job teaching science in a high school.But Europe beckoned.In his West African homeland, Mr. Jallows salary was the equivalent of just 50 euros a month, barely enough for the necessities, he said. And everywhere in his neighborhood in Serekunda, Gambias largest city, there was talk of easy money to be made in Europe.Now he laughs bitterly about all that talk. He lives in a patch of woods here in southern Spain, just outside the village of Palos de la Frontera, with hundreds of other immigrants. They have built their homes out of plastic sheeting and cardboard, unsure if the water they drink from an open pipe is safe. After six years on the continent, Mr. Jallow is rail thin, and his eyes have a yellow tinge. “We are not bush people,〞 he said recently as he gathered twigs to start a fire. “You think you are civilized. But this is how we live here. We suffer here.〞The political upheaval in Libya and elsewhere in North Africa has opened the way for thousands of new migrants to make their way to Europe across the Mediterranean. Already some 25,000 have reached the island of Lampedusa, Italy, and hundreds more have arrived at Malta.The boats, at first, brought mostly Tunisians. But lately there have been more sub-Saharans Experts say thousands more —many of whom have been moving around North Africa trying to get to Europe for years, including Somalis, Eritreans, Senegalese and Nigerians — are likely to follow, sure that a better life awaits them.But for Mr. Jallow and for many others who arrived before them, often after days at sea without food or water, Europe has offered hardships they never imagined. These days Mr. Jallow survives on two meals a day, mostly a leaden paste made from flour and oil, which he stirs with a branch.“It keeps the hunger away,〞 he said. The authorities estimate that there are perhaps 10,000 immigrants living in the woods in the southern Spanish province of Andalusia, a region known for its crops of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and there are thousands more migrants in areas that produce olives, oranges andvegetables. Most of them have stories that echo Mr. Jallows From the road, their encampments look like igloos tucked among the trees. Up close, the squalor is clear. Piles of garbage and flies are everywhere. Old clothes, stiff from dirt and rain, hang from branches.“There is everything in there,〞 said Diego Ca?amero, the leader of the farm workers union in Andalusia, which tries to advocate for the men. “You have rats and snakes and mice and fleas.〞The men in the woods do not call home with the truth, though. They send pictures of themselves posing next to Mercedes cars parked on the street, the kind of pictures that Mr. Jallow says he fell for so many years ago. Now he shakes his head toward his neighbors, who will not talk to reporters.“So many lies,〞he said. “It is terrible what they are doing. But they are embarrassed.〞Even now, though, Mr. Jallow will not consider going back to Gambia. “I would prefer to die here,〞he said. “I cannot go home empty-handed. If I went home, they would be saying? What have you been doing with yourself, Amadou? They think in Europe there is money all over.〞The immigrants — virtually all of them are men — cluster by nationality and look for work on the farms. But Mr. Ca?amero says they are offered only the least desirable work, like handling pesticides, and little of it at that. Most have no working papers.Occasionally, the police bring bulldozers to tear down the shelters. But the men, who have usually used their familys life savings to get here, are mostly left alone — the conditions they live under are an open secret in the nearby villages.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (汉译英) Translate the following passage into English.今年是中国参加世贸组织 10 周年。

In every society, some punishments or negative sanctions are established for deviant behavior. Without deviant behavior there would not be need forsocial control and without social control there would not be a way of recognizing the boundary between the acceptable and the unacceptable. Social control may be either formal or informal. Informal mechanisms include expressions of disapproval by significant others and withholding of positive rewards for disapproved behavior. Most people internalize norms in the course of socialization. This is any group’s most powerful protection against deviance, in that the individual’s own conscience operates as an agent of social control. When informal sanctions fail, formal agents of social control may be called upon. In contemporary society, such formal agents and agencies include psychiatry and other mental health professions; mental hospitals; police and courts of law; prisons; and social welfare agencies. All these formal agents functionto limit, correct, and control violation of norms. Conflict theoristswould also point out that social control agents and systems tend, in any society, to serve the interests of powerful groups and to enforce the norms most beneficial to those who make the rules and who, therefore, define unacceptable behavior.Social control, whether formal or informal, has a dual function. First,it punishes the wrongdoer and reaffirms the boundaries of acceptable behavior. Second, and less recognized, it regulates the manner in which deviants are treated.51. Social control refers to processes by which .A. norms are developedB. norms are enforcedC. people are educated and trainedD. people are rewarded and punished52. Every society has its own .A. planned systemsB. controlled normsC. recognized boundaryD. established sanctions53.

The most powerful protection against deviance is .A. negative sanctionsB. severe punishmentsC. the individual’s conscienceD. unrestrained suppression55. Formal agents of social control include the following except .A. police stationsB. mental hospitalsC. welfare agenciesD. vocational schools56. The purpose of formal agents is .A. to make beneficial rulesB. to preserve social ordersC. to control violation of normsD. to define acceptable behavior57. Which statement about social control agents is not true?A. They tend to serve the interest of those who enforce the norms.B. They tend to serve the interest of those who receive a benefit.C. They tend to serve the interest of those who make the rules.D. They tend to serve the interest of those who are powerful.58.

In the third paragraph, “a dual function”refers to .A. formal and informB. rewards and penaltiesC. approval and disapprovalD. clarification and regulation60. The perspective from which the author discusses social control is .A. biologicalB. sociologicalC. psychologicalD. anthropologicalQuestions 61－70 are based on the following passage.Every group has a culture, however uncivilized it may seem to us. To theprofessional anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of oneculture over another, just as to the professional linguist, there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.People once thought of the languages of backward groups as undeveloped. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of gruntsand groans, it is a fact established by the study of “backward”languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex. They differ from Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this aspect, two things areto be noted. First, all languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. Second, the objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in “backward”languages, while different from the West, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A Western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness (“this”and “that”). But some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future.61. Every group of human beings .A. has its own set of ideas, beliefs and ways of lifeB. has an extremely complex and delicate languageC. has its own elegant music, literature, and other artsD. has the process of growing crops or raising animals62. To the professional linguists, .A. there is no intrinsic superiority of culturesB. there is no intrinsic hierarchy of languagesC. all languages came from grunts and groansD. all languages are most severe and standard63. Most languages of uncivilized groups are .A. adequateB. numerousC. ingeniousD. ingenuous64. “Backward”languages fall behind Western languages in .A. structuresB. vocabulariesC. written formsD. sound patterns65. All languages, whether civilized or not, have .A. their own ways to transfer ideasB. their own forms to satisfy needsC. their own abilities to answer descriptionD. their own systems to expand vocabulary66. Which of the following statements is implied in the passage?A. Anthropologists have nothing to do with linguists.B. Linguists have nothing to do with anthropologists.C. The study of languages casts light upon the study of cultures.D. The study of cultures casts no light upon the study of languages.67. It is implied that all cultures have to be viewed .A. profoundlyB. intrinsicallyC. independentlyD. professionally68. According to this passage, to learn a foreign language would require one .A. to do more activitiesB. to learn about a new cultureC. to meet more peopleD. to need more names69. The author’s attitude shown in this passage toward “backward”languages is .A. restrainedB. subjectiveC. objectiveD. resolute70. This passage is on the whole .A. narrativeB. instructiveC. prescriptiveD. argumentativeQuestions 71－80 are based on the following passage.The field of medicine has always attracted its share of quacks andcharlatans —disreputable women and men with little or no medical knowledge who promise quick cures at cheap prices. The reasons why quackery thrives even in modern times are easy to find. To begin with,pain seems to be a chronic human condition. A person whose body or mind “hurts”will often pay any amount of money for the promise of relief. Second, even the best medical treatment cannot cure all the ills that besetmen and women. People who mistrust or dislike the truths that their physicians tell them often turn to more sympathetic ears.Many people lack the training necessary to evaluate medical claims. Giventhe choice between (a) a reputable physician who says a cure for cancerwill be long, expensive and may not work at all, and (b) a salespersonwho says that several bottles of a secret formula “snake oil”will curenot only cancer but tuberculosis as well, some individuals will opt for “snake oil”.Many “snake oil”remedies are highly laced with alcohol or narcotic drugs. Anyone who drinks them may get so drunk or stoned that they drown their pains in the rising tide of pleasant intoxication. Little wonder that“snake oil”is a popular cure-all for minor aches and hurts! But letthere be no misunderstandings. A very few “home remedies”actually work. However, most remedies sold by quacks are not only useless, but often canbe harmful as well.71. In this passage, a quack or a charlatan is .A. someone who has a special abilityB. someone who has little knowledgeC. someone who is not a good doctorD. someone who pretends to be a doctor72. The sentence “pain seems to be a chronic human condition”means .A. pain seems to be very seriousB. pain seems to be very difficultC. pain seems to last for a long timeD. pain seems to be always happening73. Quackery thrives even in modern times because .A. patients pay any amount of moneyB. patients do not like their physiciansC. quacks say that they can help patientsD. best medical treatment costs very much74. People who seek the advice of quacks and charlatans are .A. those who are poorly educatedB. those who are highly educatedC. those who dislike medical treatmentsD. those who mistrust physicians’truths75. To evaluate medical claims, one must .A. turn to reputable doctorsB. make an adequate choiceC. have the necessary trainingD. disbelieve promise of relief76. According to the author, a very few home remedies are .A. uselessB. harmfulC. pleasantD. effective77. Which of the following statements is not true?A. quacks are really sympatheticB. “snake oil”does not workC. doctors cannot cure all illsD. patients are often impatient78. Many individuals opt for “snake oil”because .A. they are misled by a secret formulaB. they cannot afford a treatmentC. they lack medical knowledgeD. they do not trust physicians79. “Snake oil”is a popular cure-all for minor aches and hurts because .A. it has actually workedB. it has some fruit stonesC. it has been misunderstoodD. it has alcohol or narcotic drugs80. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A. Distrust of PhysiciansB. Medical TreatmentC. Snake Oil RemediesD. Guard Against QuackeryQuestions 81－90 are based on the following passage.Modern industrial society grants little status to old people. In fact,such a society has a system of built-in obsolescence. There is no formal system for continuing our education throughout our life in order to keepup with rapidly changing knowledge. When our education and job skills have grown obsolete, we are treated exactly like those who have never gainedan education or job skills and are not encouraged or given the opportunityto begin anew.As a society becomes more highly developed, the overall status of older people diminishes. Improved health technology creates a large pool of old people, who compete for jobs with the young. However, economic technology lowers the demand for workers and creates new jobs for which the skillsof the aged are obsolete, forcing older people into retirement. At thesame time, young people are being educated in the new technology and are keeping pace with rapid changes in knowledge. Finally, urbanization creates age-segregated neighborhoods.

Your brain waves slow down a bit, with the alpha rhythm predominating for the first few minutes. This isthe first stage of sleep. For the next 30 minutes or so, you will driftdown through Stage 2 and Stage 3. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. About 40-60 minutes after you lose consciousness, you will reach the last stage. Your brain waves will show the delta rhythm. You may think that you stay at this deep stage all the rest of the night,but that turns out not to be the case. About 80 minutes after you fallinto slumber, your activity cycle will increase slightly. The delta rhythmwill disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of brain waves.Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids. This period of Rapid Eye Movements lasts for 8-15 minutes and is called REM sleep. During both light and deep sleep, the muscles in your body are relaxed。

2006年11月全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试三级笔译实务Section 1 English-Chinese T ranslation (英译汉) (60 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120 minutes.For all the natural and man-made disasters of the past year, travelers seem more determined than ever to leave home. Never mind the tsunami devastation in Asia last December, the recent earthquake in Kashmir or the suicide bombings this year in London and Bali, among other places on or off the tourist trail. The number of leisure travelers visiting tourist destinations hit by trouble has in some cases bounced back to a level higher than before disaster struck."This new fast recovery of tourism we are observing is kind of strange," said John Koldowski, director for the Strategic Intelligence Center of the Bangkok-based Pacific Asia Travel Association. "It makes you think about the adage that any publicity is good publicity."It is still too soon to compile year-on-year statistics for the disasters of the past 12 months, but travel industry experts say that the broad trends are already clear. Leisure travel is expected to increase by nearly 5 percent this year, according to the World Tourism and Travel Council."Tourism and travel now seem to bounce back faster and higher each time there is an event of this sort," said Ufi Ibrahim, vice president of the London-based World Tourism and Travel Council. For London, where suicide bombers killed 56 and wounded 700 on July 8, she said, "It was almost as if people who stayed away after the bomb attack then decided to come back twice."Early indicators show that the same holds true for other disaster-struck destinations. Statistics compiled by the Pacific Asia Travel Association, for example, show that monthly visitor arrivals in Sri Lanka, where the Dec. 26, 2004, tsunami left more than 30,000 people dead or missing, were higher than one year earlier for every month from March through August of this year.A case commonly cited by travel professionals as an early example of the trend is Bali, where 202 people were killed in bombings targeting Western tourists in October 2002. V isitor arrivals plunged to 993,000 for the year after the bombing, but bounced back to 1.46 million in 2004, a level higher than the two years before the bomb, according to the Pacific Asia Travel Association.Even among Australians, who suffered the worst casualties in the Bali bombings, the number of Bali-bound visitors bounced back within two years to the highest level since 1998, according the Pacific Asia Travel Association. Bali was hit again this year by suicide bombers who killed 19 people in explosions at three restaurants.Visits are also on the upswing to post-tsunami Thailand, where the giant waves killed 5,400 and left more than 5,000 missing. Although the tsunami killed more than 500 Swedes on the Thai resort island of Phuket, the largest number of any foreign nationality to die, Swedes are returning to the island in larger numbers than last year, according to My Travel Sweden, a Stockholm-based group that sends 600,000 tourists overseas annually and claims a 28 percent market share for Sweden."We were confident that Thailand would eventually bounce back as a destination, but we didn"t think that this year it would come back even stronger than last year," said Joakim Er iksson, director of communication for My Travel Sweden. "We were very surprised because we really expected a significant decline." Eriksson said My Travel now expects a 5 percent increase in visitors to both Thailand and Sri Lanka this season compared with the same season last year. Thisbehavior is a sharp change from the patterns of the 1990s, Eriksson said. "During the first Gulf war we saw a sharp drop in travel as a whole, and the same after Sept. 11," Eriksson said. "Now the main impact of terrorism or disasters is a change in destination."Section 2 Chinese-English T ranslation (汉译英) (40 points)Translate the following passage into English. The time for this section is 60 minutes.２５年来，中国坚定不移地推进改革开放，社会主义市场经济体制初步建立，开放型经济已经形成，社会生产力和综合国力不断增强，各项社会事业全面发展，人民生活总体上实现了由温饱到小康的历史性跨越。
