2015年5月CATTI二级笔译实务真题
英译汉passage1
Along a rugged, wideNorth Sea beach here on a recent day, children formed teams of eight to 10,taking their places beside mounds of sand carefully cordoned by tape. They hadone hour for their sand castle competition. Some built fishlike structures,complete with scales. Others spent their time on elaborate ditch and dike labyrinths. Each castle was adorned on top with a white flag.
近日，北海沿岸崎岖而宽广的海滩上，孩子们八人一组，十人一队，在用隔离带精心围起来的沙堆旁各就各位。他们要在一个小时内完成堆沙堡的比赛。有些人打造鱼形的主体建筑，再配上鳞片。其余的人修建复杂的沟渠和迷宫式的堤坝。每个沙堡的顶部都插有一面白旗。
1.“taking their places/ beside mounds of sand /carefully cordoned by tape.”这句话划分一下知道了大概意思是这些小朋友各就各位在自己的沙堆旁边，这些沙堆被隔离带精心的围着。
2.a mound of [something]一堆某物
3.cordon
A.noun警戒线
to throw a cordon around [something]在某物周围设置警戒线
B.transitive verb
cordon off
[cordon off something], [cordon something off]封锁
4.ditch
A.noun沟
B.transitive verb
①(get rid of)抛弃?partner, friend?; 丢弃?car, machinery?
to ditch one's boyfriend甩掉男友
②Aviation(crash-land)?pilot, crew?使…在海上迫降?plane?
Then they watched thesea invade and devour their work, seeing whose castle could with stand the tidelongest. The last standing flag won.
然后，孩子们等待着大海涨潮，吞没沙堡，看谁的沙堡在潮水中持续的时间最久。白旗最后倒下的沙堡获胜。
It was no ordinary dayat the beach, but a newly minted, state-sanctioned competition /forschoolchildren to raise awareness /of the dangers of rising sea levels /in a countryof precarious geography /that has provided lessons for the world about watermanagement, but that fears that its next generation will grow complacent.
孩子们在海滩上度过的这一天意义非凡。荷兰地理环境不稳定，海平面不断上升，因此，当地政府决定，为小学生们举办一次别开生面的比赛，以此来提高孩子们的危险意识。尽管荷兰一直是世界各国仿效的水利大国，仍然担心下一代会因此变得骄傲自大。
1.Newly minted：惯用搭配，崭新的，新制作的，刚完成的
1.一整段是一句话，所以划分句子很重要。译文将“of the dangers of rising sea levels /in a countryof precarious geography”提前翻译出来“荷兰地理环境不稳定，海平面不断上升，”是非常聪明的做法。但由于时间紧张，打乱语句顺序不是首选做法，我们可以试着顺着原文顺序翻译：
孩子们在海滩上度过了意义非凡的一天，而且此次国家新批准设立该比赛项目也让孩子们意识到，祖国地理环境不稳定，海平面不断上升的危险。尽管荷兰一直是世界各国仿效的水利大国，仍然担心下一代会因此变得骄傲自大。
还要说明的是“in a countryof precarious geography /that has provided…”这里很容易就近将that后面的句子看作是修饰geography，其实of precarious geography是形容词修饰主语country的作用，a countryof precarious geography是一个整体，表示地理环境脆弱的国家。
Fifty-five percent ofthe Netherlands is either below sea level or heavily flood-prone. Yet thanks toits renowned expertise and large water management budget (about1.25 percent ofgross domestic product), the Netherlands has averted catastrophe since aflooding disaster in 1953.
荷兰境内55%的土地，要么低于海平面，要么存在严重的水患。然而，由于水利专业技术久负盛名，水利专项拨款又十分庞大（约占国内生产总值的1.25%），所以1953年洪灾过后，荷兰再也没有遭受过严重的水灾。
Experts here say thatthey now worry that the famed Dutch water
management system actually works toowell and that citizens will begin to take for granted the nation’s success instaying dry. As global climate change threatens to raise sea levels by as muchas four feet by the end of the century, the authorities here are working tomake real to children the forecasts that may seem far-off, but that will shapetheir lives in adulthood and old age.
专家称，他们担心，由于荷兰现有的水利系统太完善了，国民开始想当然地以为，荷兰在水利方面已经取得了成功。全球气候变暖，预示着到本世纪末，荷兰的海平面会上升四英尺。当地政府试图通过本次比赛，让孩子们明白，这些看似遥不可及的预示，将会决定孩子们的中老年生活。
1.threaten (坏事) 可能发生
It’s threatening to rain.天可能要下雨。
The fighting is threatening to turn into full-scale war.
这次冲突可能要演变成全面战争。
“Everything works sosmoothly that people don’t realize anymore that they are taking a risk indeveloping urban areas in low-lying areas,” said RaimondHafkenscheid, the leadorganizer of the competition and a water expert with the Foreign Ministry.
本次竞赛的主要组织者雷蒙德·哈肯什德是外交部的水利专家，他说：“荷兰的水利工程太安全了，人们意识不到，在低洼地区拓展城市面积其实是很冒风险的。”
Before the competition,the children, ages 6 to 11, were coached by experts in dike building and watermanagement. V olunteers stood by, many of them freshly graduated civilengineers, giving last-minute advice on how best to battle the rising water.
专家在赛前对6到11岁的儿童进行了培训，传授筑坝和治水知识。志愿者在现场观战，他们大都是刚刚毕业的土木工程师。比赛的最后一刻，他们会把抵抗水势上涨的绝招告诉给孩子们。
A recently releasedreport by the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development on watermanagement in the Netherlands pointed to an “awareness gap” among Dutchcitizens. The f inding did much to get the sand castle contest off the ground.
最近，经济合作与发展组织发布了一份报告。报告指出，荷兰民众在水利方面存在着“意识缺陷”。这份报告对成功举办本次沙堡竞赛起到了很大的作用。
英译汉passage2
Early Maori adapted the tropically based east Polynesian culture in line with the challenges associated with a larger and more diverse environment, eventually developing their own distinctive culture. The British and Irish immigrants brought aspects of their own culture to New Zealand and also influenced Maori culture. More recently American, Australian, Asian and other European cultures have exerted influence on New Zealand.
毛利人最初为了应对更大更多变的环境带来的挑战，逐渐适应了地处热带的东波利尼西亚文化，最终形成了自己独特的文化。英国和爱尔兰的移民把本土文化带到了新西兰，也影响了毛利文化。近年来，美洲、澳洲、亚洲、以及欧洲其他国家的文化也对新西兰产生了影响。
1.adapt 表示“改良,改进”,而adapt oneself to/adapt to sh. 才表示“使适应,适应”这是需要注意的陷阱。
2.“in line with”表示“符合,按照,与...一致”,同义词有“in accordance with/in keeping with/in conformity with”等,这里在文中翻译成“应对”较合适。
3.“eventually developing their own distinctive culture”则是考察现在分词做状语的语法点。现在分词作状语修饰主句,相当于状语从句,在句中表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、行为方式或伴随情况及独立成分等,作时间、原因、条件、让步状语时多位于句首;作结果、伴随情况状语时常位于句末。
Even though themajority of the population now lives in cities, much of New Zealand’s art,literature, film and humor has rural themes.
尽管现在大多数的新西兰人生活在城市，但新西兰许多的艺术、文学、
电影和幽默还是以乡村生活为主题。
New Zealand music has been influenced by blues, jazz, country, rock and roll and hip hop, with many of these genres given a unique New Zealand interpretation. Maori developed traditional chants and songs from their ancient South-East Asian origins, and after centuries of isolation created a unique “monotonous” and “doleful” sound.
新西兰音乐深受蓝调音乐、爵士乐、乡村音乐和摇滚乐的影响，但其中很多流派都经过了新西兰人独特的艺术加工。毛利人传统的颂歌和歌曲最早源于古老的东南亚地区，在与世隔绝数百年后，形成了一种独特的“单调”而“悲伤”的音乐风格。
1.interpretation这里的意思是(of painting, song, role)演绎
2.monotonous
①(tedious)乏味的?task, journey?
②(unvarying)单调的?voice, hum?; 声音单调的?speech?
3.doleful 悲伤的
a doleful face愁苦的脸
The number of New Zealand films significantly increased during the 1970s. In 1978 the New Zealand Film Commission started assisting local film-makers and many films attained a world audience, some receiving international acknowledgement. New Zealand television primarily broadcasts American and British programming, along with a large number of Australian and local shows. The country’s di verse scenery and compact size, plus government incentives, have encouraged some producers to film big budget movies in New Zealand.
二十世纪七十年代，新西兰电影产量剧增。1978年，新西兰电影协会开始帮助本土电影公司和国产影片在全球寻找观众，有些影片借此赢得了国际认可。新西兰电视主要播放美国和英国的电视节目，同时播放大量的澳洲和本土的电视节目。新西兰景色各异，地形小巧，加之政策刺激，促使一些电影公司，投巨资来此拍摄影片。
1.这里想说明一下scenery是不可数名词，要注意。
Scenery还指Theatre舞台布景
a piece of scenery一块布景
Our distinctive culture’s core to what makes New Zealand a great place to live. Cultural expression, engagement and understanding are fundamental to a vibrant and healthy society and help define what it is to be a New Zealander.
新西兰之所以成为最适合人口居住的国家，关键在于我们的文化与众不同。文化表达、文化融合和文化理解不仅是一个富有活力的健康社会的基础所在，而且有助于明确什么才是新西兰人真正应该具备的条件。
1.“Our distinctive culture’s core to what makes New Zealand a great place to live.”注意这句话的翻译顺序，what是一个宾语从句，理解意思，什么决定了什么，再去翻译。
Maori culture makes New Zealand unique in a globalized world and is central to our sense of place, identifying us as a nation. Active participation by Maori indistinct Maori activity will ensure Maori culture is protected and flourishes.
有了毛利文化，新西兰才能在全球一体化的世界里独树一帜；有了毛利文化，我们才有了方位感，才能证明我们是一个国家。毛利人积极参与毛利人特有的活动，才能确保毛利文化得到保护和发扬。
The Ministry for Culture and Heritage is the Governm ent’s leading adviser on cultural matters; funds, monitors and supports a range of cultural agencies; and delivers a range of high quality cultural products and services.
文化遗产部是政府文化事务的首席顾问，主要负责资助、监督、扶持各种文化机构，提供各种优质的文化产品和文化服务。
The Ministry provides advice to the Government on where to focus its interventions in the cultural sector. The Ministry seeks to ensure that funding is invested as effectively and efficiently as possible, and that the Government’s priorities are met.
文化遗产部建议政府从哪些方面对文化领域进行集中干预，力保资金投入行之有效，用之高效；力保政府最关心的问题逐一落实。
The Ministry has a strong track record of delivering high quality publications, managing our significant heritage and commemorations, and acting as guardian of New Zealand’s culture. Our work priorities cultural outcomes and supports educational, economic, and social outcomes linking with the work of a range of other government agencies. 文化遗产部保持着骄人的记录：出版了大量优质的刊物，管理着重要的文化遗产和纪念活动，扮演着新西兰文化守护人的角色。我们的工作以文化成果为主，同时扶持与各种政府机构工作相关的教育成果、经济成果和社会成果。

The activities, goods and services they create, produce and distribute have a value which is cultural, social and economic. Cultural expression expands individual capacities, helps bind society and provides jobs and innovation in the economy.
文化是由想象力丰富、勇于创新的个人、团体和组织创造出来的。他们创作、生产和传播的各种活动、商品和服务具有文化价值、社会价值和经济价值。文化表达能提升个人能力，增强社会凝聚力，为经济领域提供就业机会和创新源泉。
汉译英Passage 1
改革开放30多年来，西藏通过深化改革和扩大开放积极推动全区商业、对外贸易和旅游产业加快发展，不仅增强了与内地的交流，同时也加强了与世界的联系和合作。
Over the past 30 yearsor more, through reform and opening up, Tibet has been proactively promotingcommerce, foreign trade and tourism. It has increased exchanges with otherparts of China as well as communication and cooperation with foreign countries.
1993年，西藏与全国一道开始建立“框架一致、体制衔接”的社会
主义市场经济体制，深化物资、粮食、日用消费品等领域价格流通改革并全面进入市场。目前，西藏已经深深融入全国统一的市场体系，来自全国和世界各地的商品源源不断地进入西藏，丰富着城乡市场和百姓生活。西藏的名、优、特产品及民族手工业产品，大量进入全国市场。
In 1993 Tibet began to develop the socialist market economy with the rest ofthe country, growing into a new system within the same frame work. Reforms havebeen carried out in the pricing and circulation of goods and materials, grains,and consumer goods, all of which have entered the market system. CurrentlyTibet is incorporated into the national market system. Commodities from allover the nation and across the world keep flowing into Tibet, enriching the urbanand rural markets as well as the lives of the people. At the same time,well-known and high-quality products with local characteristics and folkhandcrafts are transported to other parts of the country in large quantities.
1.翻译这样的公文最重要的是学会划分句子，很多时候一句话很长，甚至一整段只是一句，这句需要我们要合并相同类别的句子，划分出层次。比如这句话“目前，西藏已经深深融入全国统一的市场体系，来自全国和世界各地的商品源源不断地进入西藏，丰富着城乡市场和百姓生活。”按照一般人的阅读习惯，应是“目前，西藏已经深深融入全国统一的市场体系，”为一句，后面的唯一句，后面一句中我们又要细分谁为主，谁为次，英译汉需要一点一点的拆分。
西藏与世界的经济联系日益密切。2012年，全区进出口总额为34.24亿美元，是1953年0.04亿美元的850多倍，年均增长12.1％。截至2012年底，西藏实际利用外资4.7亿美元。西藏立足区位优势，实施面向南亚的陆路贸易大通道建设，大力发展边境贸易。Economically, Tibet isnow more and more closely linked to the world. In 2012 the total volume of itsforeign trade reached 3.424 billion U.S. dollars, more than 850 times that of1953, which stood at 4 million U.S. dollars, with an annual growth rate of 12.1percent. By the end of 2012 actualized foreign investment in Tibet was 470million U.S. dollars. Taking advantage of its geographical position, Tibet isbuilding a
“commodity passageway” to South Asia via the land route to promoteborder trade.
1.几乎年年英译汉考的就是数字翻译，所以这方面一定要多加练习。
汉译英Passage 2
人类正处于极端天气的适应期，炎热的酷暑、狂暴的飓风、刺骨的严寒以及滔天的洪水近乎成了“常客”。风调雨顺已被视为“奢侈品”。Mankind is in a periodof adaptation to extreme weather conditions. Sweltering summers, violenthurricanes, freezing winters and monstrous floods have almost become “frequent visitors”. And favorable weather has seemedto be elevated to a “luxury”.
1.炎热酷暑翻译为“extreme summer heat waves;狂暴的飓风:violent/raging hurricanes;刺骨的严寒:bone-chilling cold waves;滔天的洪水:devastating floods; 风调雨顺:normal weather。
气象学家对此众说纷纭，莫衷一是。有的说是全球变暖所致，有的说是大气环流异常，还有的认为厄尔尼诺是罪魁祸首。Meteorologists havemixed views of this. Some believe this should be attributable to climatechange, some argue that extreme climate is caused by atmospheric circulationanomaly, and still others insist that the El Nino effect needs to be blamed asthe main culprit.
1.culprit
①(guilty person)犯错的人(criminal)罪犯
②(cause of problem)问题的根源
尽管如此，大多数学者都认同这样一个观点：全球气候变化速度正在加剧，极端灾害天气今后无疑将更加频繁，并且其强度和范围都将走强。面对日益脆弱的全球气候，人类需要更认真地思考，如何切实有效地规范自身活动，珍爱我们共同的家园。
Anyhow, most scholarsagree on certain propositions that global climate change is accelerating andextreme weather will grow more frequent, intense and wide-ranging. Given anincreasing frail / even weaker global
climate, mankind need think morecarefully about how to effectively manage our own activities and cherish ourshared homeland.
未来极端事件将对与气候有密切相关的行业，如水利、农业、林业、能源、健康和旅游业等有更大影响。在世界经济发展不稳定性、不确定性上升的当下，上述因素为全球经济复苏带来更多变数。
Future extreme weatherevents will exert a growing impact on those industries closely linked toclimate change such as water conservancy, agriculture, forestry, energy, healthand tourism. The aforesaid factors have added to the complexity of economicrecovery, given a less stable and certain world economy.

While people have heard of Black Friday; most do not know its origins. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving (感恩节).On this day most retail stores open their doors very early一some as early as 4 am. In addition, they provide their customers with great discounts on products. With this in mind, it is clear to see why so many shoppers buy many of their Christmas gifts on Black Friday. Black Friday is not as ok! as many people think. In fact, it is believed that the first Black. Friday was held in the 1970s in the USA. It was a day when stores decided to mark the start of the holiday season In order to draw more customers, they offered great discounts. All products sold very well. This large success resulted in the name Black Friday, it was so named because the stores were "in the black". This financial term means the stoics made a lot of money. However, it was not until around 2002 that Black Friday really started to gain in popularity. Today in the USA, countless advertisers proudly announce their Black Friday sales. They hope to attract shoppers into their stores. Black Friday is a day when many shoppers in the USA go out and buy gifts, even though Christmas Eve is still a more popular day to shop. Thanks to the Internet, it is now possible to get some excellent Black Friday deals online. So if you don't want to get to the stores by 4 am, this is the perfect way to still get items at reduced prices. 1. Many people know the history of Black Friday. ? A. True B. False C. Not Given

Once again I spelt out directions even a blind person could follow, I glanced impatiently at my watch, and waited. Only two hours remained until my flight left and it was an hour-and-a-half trip to the airport. Outside, heavy rains were pouring down. My house was so far north in the city that buses pass only three times a day. The telephone rang again. "Terribly sorry," began the man at the taxi company. Then I rea-lized that the taxi company, flooded with calls, could only offer in-city runs. I had heard this happens when the weather gets bad. I shouted into the phone that I had a plane to catch and I would meet the taxi outside my house. Standing in the wind-driven rain, I looked up and down the road. No taxi. A car went by, driver and passenger staring at the crazy foreigner in the downpour. Finally a white car appeared and pulled to a stop. A young man threw open the door, waving for me to get in. Shaking with cold and anger, I climbed in.
2015年考研英语二阅读Text1真题详解 整篇文章的主题是与我们生活息息相关的内容，文章的难度不大，相比2014年英语二的阅读来说，难度稳定，这是在我们预料之中的。 第21题According to Paragraph 1,most previous surveys found that home＿＿＿(根据第一段可知，之前的调查中认为家是一个____地方)。[A] offered greater relaxation than the workplace [B] was an ideal place for stress measurement [C] generated more stress than the workplace [D] was an unrealistic place for relaxation题目中明确给出范围，所以我们只要在第一段中找答案，且要注意题目中的关键词是previous。回归第一段，不难发现文章的首句便是答案出处：A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home than at work.（新的研究显示不同于以往的绝大多数调查，人们在家比工作时的压力更大）。这句话中new、contrary to most surveys是提示词，与题目中的previous study相对应的，不难做出正确答案是[A] 第22题According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?（Damaske 认为，谁可能是最家里最快乐的？）读完题目，回到文章第二段找Damaske的观点：It is men, not women, who report being happier at home than at work.在家男性比女性更快乐，Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents.这句话的关键词是more,它与题目中的happiest最高级是相对应的，所以解这道题的关键便是nonparents.但是对于很多同学来说，nonparents是个生词，不认识。其实大家只要上过中公考研的英语词汇课，学习过词根词缀法，这个单词就变的很简单。nonparents是由否定前缀non-+parents构成的，non-这个否定前缀表示“不无非”，所以整个单词可以译为不是父母。四个选项[A] Childless wives [B] Working mothers [C] Childless husbands [D] Working fathers，我们可以轻易选出答案C，没有孩子且是丈夫。 第23题，The blurring of working women's roles refers to the fact that＿＿。回归第三段中，找到With the blurring of roles，发现前面的句子正是对这种现象的解释：for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.以及后面的the home front lags well behind the workplace a making adjustments for working women，指的便是女性不仅得工作赚钱，而且还得在家得忙家务，所以她们的身份是双重的。所以选[D] they are both bread winners and housewives. 第24题，The word“ moola”(Line4,Para4)most probably means＿＿这是一道词义推测题，它与前文中的marking money是近义词，答案选[C] earnings收入。 第25题The home front differs from the workplace in that＿＿。文章第5段there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor;家务劳动不会像工作一样得到足够的奖励，而且分工也是不明确的。答案对应选项[A] division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut. 虽然有突破口、也有规律可循，但这并不意味着我们可以一劳永逸、高枕无忧，要知道，

In a series of experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago and the Wisconsin school of Business tested students’ willingness to 4 themselves to unpleasant stimuli in an effort to satisfy curiosity.

Subsequent experiments reproduced this effect with other stimuli, 9 the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of disgusting insects. The drive to 10 is deeply rooted in humans, much the same as the basic drives for 11 or shelter, says Christopher Hsee of the University of Chicago. Curiosity is often considered a good instinct—it can 12 new scientific advances, for instance—but sometimes such 13 can backfire.

(10 points) The outbreak of swine flu that was first detected in Mexico was declared a global pandemic on June 11, 2009, in the first designation by the World Health Organization of a worldwide pandemic in 41 years. The heightened alert came after an emergency meeting with flu experts in Geneva that convened after a sharp rise in cases in Australia, and rising numbers in Britain, Japan, Chile and elsewhere. But the pandemic is "moderate" in severity, according to Margaret Chan, the organization's director general, with the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery, often in the absence of any medical treatment. The outbreak came to global notice in late April 2009, when Mexican authorities noticed an unusually large number of hospitalizations and deaths among healthy adults. As much of Mexico City shut down at the height of a panic, cases began to crop up in New York City, the southwestern United States and around the world. In the United States, new cases seemed to fade as warmer weather arrived. But in late September 2009, officials reported there was significant flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the samples tested are the new swine flu, also known as (A) H1N1, not seasonal flu. @Zov&0 1 In the U.S., it has infected more than one million people, and caused more than 600 deaths and more than 6,000 hospitalizations. Federal health officials released Tamiflu for children from the national stockpile and began taking orders from the states for the new swine flu vaccine. The new vaccine, which is different from the annual flu vaccine, is available ahead of expectations. More than three million doses were to be made available in early October 2009, though most of those initial doses were of the FluMist nasal spray type, which is not recommended for pregnant women, people over 50 or those with breathing difficulties, heart disease or several other problems. But it was still possible to vaccinate people in other high-risk group: health care workers, people caring for infants and healthy young people.
