一、Chinese-English Translation(总题数:5,分数:100.00)

1.情感是人们对于某种重大事件或想法产生的感觉或反应。人们都喜欢享受像爱、幸福和满意等情感,也尽量避免去感受像孤独、焦虑和悲痛等情感。

人们通过语言、各种声音、面部表情和手势等来交流自己的情感。比如说,气愤有可能使人皱眉、握拳或者尖叫。虽然遗传可能决定人们在情感上的一些行为表现,但是更多的时候是从社会其他成员那里学会了表达情感的方式。研究表明,那些被隔离的不同人群在表达情感的时候有着相似的面部表情。

以自然选择理论闻名的克莱尔·达尔文也研究情感。1872年,达尔文提出,情感的行为最初是为了生存需要和交流。根据詹姆斯·兰格于19世纪80年代提出的情感理论,一个人体内对心跳加速和血压升高这些生理变化作出反应,并且只有在意识到这些变化的时候,才会有不同情感的产生。但是这个理论在另一个研究中——在一只神经受损的猫身上所进行的研究——没有得到支持。猫感觉不到内在的变化,但是它的行为很正常。一个名叫约翰·沃森的美国心理学家发现了叫作行动主义的心理学派。他观察到被某事所刺激的婴儿会表现出三种基本情感——害怕、生气和喜欢。1919年,沃森提出了这个观点,此后,它经常遭到挑战。

最被广泛接受的观点就是情感伴随着一系列复杂事件一起发生。当一个人遇到重大的事情或想法的时候,这一些复杂的反应就开始了。那么一个人对这些事情或想法的解释决定了他在随后会有什么样的情感。例如,在树林里遇到熊的人可能会把这个事件理解为危险,危险的感觉会让这个人感觉恐惧。每种感觉都会伴随着生理变化和采取行动的欲望,这就是对引发先后顺序的事件的反应。因此,遇到熊的人可能会逃走。一些神经学家进一步独立地发展了这种理论,认为人至少有8种情感。分别是:生气、害怕、高兴、伤心、赞同、厌恶、惊讶以及兴趣或好奇。它们能够在不同程度的情感中存在。然后这些情感相互结合就会产生其他情感,好比在绘画中,由几种特定的原料相互搭配可以产生其他色调一样。

解析:Emotion is a feeling about or reaction to certain important events or thoughts. People enjoy feeling such pleasant emotions as love, happiness, and contentment. They often try to avoid feeling unpleasant emotions, such as loneliness, worry, and grief.

Individuals communicate most of their emotions by means of words, a variety of sounds, facial expressions, and gestures. For example, anger causes many people to frown, make a fist, and yell. People learn ways of showing some of their emotions from members of their society, though heredity(遗传) may determine some emotional behavior. Research has shown that different isolated peoples show emotions by means of similar facial expressions.

Charles Darwin, famous for the theory of natural selection, also studied emotion. Darwin said in 1872 that emotional behavior originally served both as an aid to survival and as a method of communicating intentions. According to the James-Lange theory of emotions developed in the 1880s, people feel emotions only if aware of their own internal physical reactions to events, such as increased heart rate or blood pressure. But this theory was not upheld by research on cats that had their nervous systems damaged. The cats could not feel their body"s internal changes, but they showed normal emotional behavior. John B. Watson, an American psychologist who helped found the school of psychology called behaviorism, observed that babies stimulated by certain events showed three basic emotions—fear, anger, and love. Watson"s view has been challenged frequently since he proposed it in 1919.

The most widely accepted view is that emotions occur as a complex sequence of events. The sequence begins when a person encounters an important event or thought. The person"s interpretation of the encounter determines the feeling that is likely to follow. For example, someone who encounters

a bear in the woods would probably interpret the event as dangerous. The sense of danger would cause the individual to feel fear. Each feeling is followed by physical changes and desires to take action, which are responses to the event that started the sequence. Thus, a person who met a bear would probably run away.

Several American psychologists independently developed the theory that there are eight basic emotions. These emotions—which can exist at various levels of intensity—are anger, fear, joy, sadness, acceptance, disgusts, surprise, and interest or curiosity. They combine to form all other emotions, just as certain basic colors produce all others.

2.难道再也没有时间阅读书籍吗?现在你可以利用电子邮件从书籍里面解放出来。通过两年前创建的在线图书俱乐部——“一日一章”,有10万多的人们可以通过打开邮件阅读一本书中的一章。这种免费的邮件服务可给忙碌人士提供每日短暂的阅读,提供他们自己可能找不到的一些文学作品,同时让他们形成阅读的好习惯。大约550个公共图书馆系统所包含的超过3000个分支图书馆已经签约提供“一日一章”电子邮件,参与每日五分钟阅读价值这种活动。当邮件提供到三章后就停止为读者电邮分期连载的文学作品,但那些想继续坚持阅读的人可以通过公共图书馆阅读或者在线搜寻。“一日一章”拥有八个免费的图书俱乐部,销售大约上千本图书。

“一日一章”是由一位终身的图书爱好者——苏珊娜·比彻创立于1999年。当时,她意识到那些在软件开发公司做兼职的女士一生忙碌却没有时间阅读。她决定打出一本书中的一章,通过电子邮件发给她的员工。第二天她又打多了一点,继续每天都发送一些文章。她说她开始得到员工每天阅读的感受,“那些书太有意思了,同时意识到,虽然在她们忙碌的一生里几乎没有时间阅读,但是每日一点的阅读就使她们形成了习惯”。她意识到其他的人同样可以从中受益,所以她决定开发这种思想,同时创立“一日一章”图书俱乐部,以帮助其他人恢复每日阅读的习惯。比彻说:“阅读改变了人们的生活。”

一位在俄亥俄公共图书管的图书商——帕特·戴姆森已经建立了“一日一读”帮助她的员工恢复阅读的习惯。她说:“这是一种让人们热衷于读书的特殊方法”。

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:()

解析:Don"t have time to read anymore? Now you can get free, quick literature via email. More than 100,000 people open their email each day to read a chapter of a book, through Chapter-A-Day, an online book club created two years ago. It"s a free email service that provides a short daily reading for busy people, exposing them to literature they may not find on their own, inspiring some to recommit to the reading habit. About 550 public library systems representing over 3,000 branch libraries already have signed up to offer Chapter-A-Day. Via email, participants get about five minutes" worth of reading every day. After three chapters are emailed, the installments stop, and those who want to keep reading can borrow the book at their public library or purchase it online. Chapter-A-Day has eight free book clubs, and sells thousands of books each month. Chapter-A-Day started in 1999 when Suzanne Beecher, a lifelong book lover, realized how many of the women who worked part-time for her software development company didn"t have time in their busy lives to read. She decided to type part of a chapter of a book, and send it to her employees through email. The next day she typed a little more, and continued to send literary installments each day. She says she started getting feedback from the staff about how reading made them feel. "They were interested, and realized that, though they didn"t have time in their busy lives for reading, just reading that little bit each day got them back in the habit". Realizing that many other people could benefit, she decided to take the idea even further and start an email" Chapter-A-Day" book club to help others ease their way back into daily reading. "Reading makes changes in people"s lives." Beecher says.

Pat Dempsey, a librarian at a public library in Ohio, has found Chapter-A-Day helps her library clients get back in the habit of reading. "It"s a different way to get people hooked on books," she says.

3.芝加哥公立学校将大量地聘请教师,现在学校开始通过从其他国家大量地招募老师来解决教师的短缺。这种方法从1999年一位来自巴基斯坦的数学兼物理老师——柔丝·汉农访问芝加哥开始使用。他当时了解到芝加哥教师的短缺,主动询问学校的董事会是否可以雇佣自己。董事会对此非常感兴趣同时决定为来自国外像汉农这样的外国教师制定一个特殊的项目。从此汉农成了第一个被聘请的教师。

该项目叫作全球教育者扩大服务项目或者缩写成为GEO。这是一种在芝加哥公立学校和美国政府之间的合作关系。因为芝加哥的教师奇缺,所以政府允许校方暂聘请那些有Hl-B的外国教师。政府的签证只给予那些出生在国外的有技能的公民,这样他们就可以从事高度专业化的工作,而这类工作无法依靠现有的美国劳动力来得到满足。

通过GEO,学校已经聘请了来自22个国家的许多教师。求职者必须通过英语考试并且在数学、科学、世界语言或者双语教育方面有特长。2000-2001年学期之初,汉农和第一位GEO老师开始在教室授课。

GEO老师们对美国教学有什么感受呢?受聘于盖奇帕克高中教数学的老师汉农说,在芝加哥的课堂教学不同于巴基斯坦。他说,其中的一项就是,迫使学生每天在同一时间同一教室学习固定的课程会很枯燥。在巴基斯坦,每个星期都会更改课程。他说,在巴基斯坦,国家文化促使学生努力地学习,因为如果不努力他们就会被开除进入职业学校,那样的话将来的择业面就会很窄。在美国学生的压力却没有那么大。他说要想让学生对他所教授的课程感兴趣他不得不下双倍的功夫。

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:()

解析:Chicago Public Schools are going to great lengths to hire teachers—now the school district recruits teachers from other countries to help solve a shortage of teachers. It all started in 1999, when Rouses Hannon, a math and physics teacher from Palestine, visited Chicago. He read about the teacher shortage at Chicago Public Schools and asked the school board if they"d hire him. The board was interested and decided to create a special program for foreign-born teachers like Hannon, and he was the first teacher hired.

The program is called the Global Educator Outreach or GEO, and it"s a partnership between in Chicago is so extreme, the Government allows the school district to temporarily hire foreign teaching candidates using H1-B visas. The Government grants these vise only to skilled foreign-born citizens so they can work in highly specialized jobs that can"t be filled with available U.S. workforce.

Through the GEO, the school district has hired dozens of teachers from 22 different countries. Applicants must pass an English language test and specialize in math, science, world language or bilingual education. Hannon and the first GEO teachers started in the classroom at the beginning of the 2000-2001 school year.

What do the GEO teachers think of the American Classroom? Hannon, who was hired to teach math at Gage Park High School, says classrooms in Chicago are very different from those in Palestine. For one thing, he says, the fixed schedule that forces students to attend the same classes at the same time each day becomes too dull. In Palestine, the class schedule changes each week. He says in Palestine, the culture forces students to work hard because if they don"t they"ll be kicked out and put in vocational schools, which limits their career options. There is not nearly as much pressure for American students to do well. He says he has to do double the amounts of work just to get his students interested.

4.劳动力的定义是可以工作和赚取收入的总人数。这定义包括所被雇用的每个人或者说所需要支付的雇用,所以它包括雇用者和自我雇用者。

尽管劳动力的总数在很大的程度上取决于人口总数,但它同样受其他因素的影响。总人数的年龄分布状态对可利用的劳动力有很大的影响。如果人口中有很大一部分年龄很小或者很大,那么它的可利用劳动力的总数就要比年龄分布平均的可利用劳动力的总数低。如果人数自然增长,也就是说出生数远大于死亡人数,那么随着总人数增加,劳动力的总数就会减少。

有时人口可描述为人口老化,意思就是当出生率下降或增长得很慢的时候,有人退休而又无足够的年轻人

代替那些即将离开的人,这就形成了人口老龄化。所以当人口增长快或出生率下降的时候,劳动力的人口百分比就会下降。

人口年龄的分布会对经济产生影响。如果人口老化,退休人员增加而无新成员的加入时,就会产生为退休人群提供合理化社会服务的经济问题。如果老人需要在特殊的老人之家或旅馆得到关怀和照顾,必须有足够的资金来保障这种服务。如果相比较于总人数,劳动力的总数太小,政府的税收就会相应地减少。政府就会减少资金的投入,或者工作人员的税收将会增加。

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案:()

解析:Workforce is defined as the total number of people who are available to work and earn incomes. The definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment, so it includes employers and the self-employed.

Although the size of the workforce depends a great deal on the size of the total population, there are several other influences which also affect it. The age distribution of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work, then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age distribution. If the population grows rapidly from natural increase, i.e., the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths, then as the total population increases, the proportion in the workforce declines.

Sometimes a population is described as aging, which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly, and as people retire from the workforce, there are not enough young people entering it to replace those who are leaving it. The population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a failing birth rate.

The age distribution of the population has several important effects on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce, this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes or hotels, finances must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population, then the government tax receipts are relatively low and either the government has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.

5.上周英国心理学家报道,英语中有句谚语说,诚实才是上策。不幸的是,当没有人监督时,诚实常常离开我们。

英国纽卡斯尔大学的研究者在他们的心理学系的咖啡室做了一项试验。他们在柜台上设置了一把壶,放置了茶叶,咖啡和牛奶同时在各种饮料上面标明了价格。只要在盒子旁边放上几美分,客人就可以自己动手做一杯饮料。科学家在装钱的盒子上方贴了一个海报,这张海报要么是一张比较形象的监视的眼睛要么就是花。研究者发现当张贴画有眼睛的海报时,人们为自己的饮料付费要多出2.76倍。其中的一位研究者吉尔伯特·罗伯特说:“坦白地说我们对此很震惊。”

眼睛是人类最有力的感官信号。一位行为生物行为学家和该项研究的学者——梅丽撒·巴特森说:“即使海报上的眼睛画像不是真的,但它们还是似乎能使人们表现得更诚实。”

研究者认为此效果就是使我们进化的过去清楚地显示出来。它可能起始于早期人类形成社会群体以增强他们生存机会时发展出来的行为特点。对于一个社会群体的工作,个人必须合作,而不是自私地行事。班纳森说:“现在有一种观点就是如果没有人监视我们,我就会为了自己的利益而自私地行事,但是当我们被监视的时候,我们做的会更好。所以人们觉得我们是可以合作的,他们也会以同样的合作方式对待我们。” 这项新的发现表明人们对眼睛有很强的反应。这可能是因为眼睛和脸可以给我们很强的我们已经进化到可以对之产生反应的生理信号。这项发现也可以用于实践。例如,形象的眼睛可以在公共交通中提高售票率,提高监督系统阻止不符合社会规则的行为。

解析:Honesty is the best policy, as the English saying goes. Unfortunately, honesty often deserts us when no one is watching. British psychologists reported last week.

Researchers at UK"s Newcastle University set up an experiment in their psychology department"s coffee room. They set a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk on the counter and hung up a sign listing the prices for drinks. People helping themselves to a cup of drink were supposed to put a few cents in the box nearby. The scientists hung a poster above the money box, and it changed each week between images of gazing eyes and pictures of flowers. The researchers found that staff paid 2.76 times mole for their drinks when the image of the eyes was hung. "Frankly we were shocked by the size of the effect." said Gilbert Roberts, one of the researchers.

Eyes are known to be a powerful perceptual (感官的) signal for humans. "Even though the eyes were not real, they still seemed to make people behave more honestly." said Melissa Bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader of the study.

Researchers believe the effect sheds light on our evolutionary past. It may arise from behavioral features that developed when early humans formed social groups to strengthen their chances of survival. For social groups to work, individuals had to cooperate, rather than act selfishly. "There"s an argument that if nobody is watching us, it is in our interests to behave selfishly. But when we"re being watched we should behave better. So people see us as co-operative and behave the same way towards us." Bateson said.

The new finding indicates that people have a striking response to eyes. That might be because eyes and faces send a strong biological signal we have evolved to respond to. The finding could be put to practical use, too. For example, images of eyes could increase ticket sales on public transport and improve supervision systems to prevent antisocial behavior.

翻译三级笔译实务模拟27 Section Ⅰ English Chinese Translation 1、As the importance of recycling becomes more apparent, questions about it linger. Is it worth the effort? How does it work? Is recycling waste just going into a landfill in China? Here are some answers. It is an awful lot of rubbish. Since 1960 the amount of municipal waste being collected in America has nearly tripled, reaching 245m tonnes in 2005. According to European Union statistics, the amount of municipal waste produced in western Europe increased by 23% between 1995 and 2003, to reach 577kg per person. (So much for the plan to reduce waste per person to 300kg by 2000.) As the volume of waste has increased, so have recycling efforts. In 1980 America recycled only 9.6% of its municipal rubbish ; today the rate stands at 32%. A similar trend can be seen in Europe, where some countries, such as Austria and the Netherlands, now recycle 60% or more of their municipal waste. Britain's recycling rate, at 27%, is low, but it is improving fast, having nearly doubled in the past three years. Even so, when a city introduces a kerbside recycling programme, the sight of all those recycling lorries trundling around can raise doubts about whether the collection and transportation of waste materials requires more energy than it saves. "We are constantly being asked: Is recycling worth doing on environmental grounds?" says Julian Parfitt, principal analyst at Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), a non-profit British company that encourages recycling and develops markets for recycled materials. Studies that look at the entire life cycle of a particular material can shed light on this question in a particular case, but WRAP decided to take a broader look. It asked the Technical University of Denmark and the Danish Topic Centre on Waste to conduct a review of 55 life-cycle analyses, all of which were selected because of their rigorous methodology. The researchers then looked at more than 200 scenarios, comparing the impact of recycling with that of burying or burning particular types of waste material. They found that in 83% of all scenarios that included recycling, it was indeed better for the environment. Based on this study, WRAP calculated that Britain's recycling efforts reduce its carbon-dioxide emissions by 10m-15m tonnes per year. That is equivalent to a 10% reduction in Britain's annual carbon-dioxide emissions from transport, or roughly equivalent to taking 3.5m cars off the roads. Similarly, America's Environmental Protection Agency estimates that recycling reduced the country's

[模拟] 翻译三级笔译实务模拟25 Section ⅠEnglish Chinese Translation Translate the following two passages into Chinese . 第1题: Acid rain, is a form of air pollution, currently a subject of great controversy because of widespread environmental damage for which it has been blamed. It forms when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with atmospheric moisture to yield sulfuric and nitric acids, which may then be carded long distances from their source before they are deposited by rain. The pollution many also take the form of snow or fog or be precipitated in dry forms. In fact, although the term "acid rain" has been in use for more than a century — it is derived from atmospheric studies that were made in the region of Manchester, England — the more accurate scientific term would be "acid deposition." The dry form of such precipitation is just as damaging as the liquid form, especially to trees and structures. Furthermore, some of the pollutants also associated with acid rain are not themselves acidic. The problem of acid rain may be said to have originated with the Industrial Revolution, and it has been growing ever since. The severity of its effects has long been recognized in local settings, as exemplified by the spells of acid smog in heavily industrialized areas. The wide destructiveness of acid rain, however, has come to be realized only in recent decades. One large area that has been studied extensively is northern Europe, where acid rain has eroded structures, injured crops and forests, and threatened or depleted life in freshwater lakes. In 1983, for example, published reports indicated that 34 percent of the forested areas of West Germany had been damaged by acid rain. The northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada have also been affected by this form of pollution, and other areas of the two countries are also showing increasing signs of damages, as are other regions of the world. Industrial emissions have been blamed as the major cause of acid rain. Because the chemical reactions involved in the production of acid rain in the atmosphere are complex and as yet little understood, industries have tended to challenge such assessments and to stress the need for further studies; and because of the cost of pollution reduction, governments have tended to support this attitude. Studies released by the U.S. government in the early 1980s, however, strongly implicated industries as the main source of acid rain._____________

全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级笔译实务模拟试题 Part 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET (60 points, 100 minutes). I leave the vault, and as the guard closes the door, a marine archaeologist asks if I want to see anything else. As an example he shows me an astrolabe, a navigation tool that preceded the sextant. Few have survived. "We have three of the oldest known," he says. He directs me to a paper on astrolabes written by a Cuban colleague, who quoted a 16th-century instruction: "He who wants to take the sun with an astrolabe at sea, must be seated near the main mast, the place where the boat oscillates the least and is quiet." I want to take the measure of Cubas past, so I tell the archaeologist I would like to go to the place where the plain things are. I am here not only to see treasures that glitter but also to see and touch objects that illumine moments of the past. Smiling, he takes me into storage rooms where he and other archaeologists preserve cargoes from four centuries of wrecks. Jumbled on these shelves is the stuff of Cubas long reign as counting house and command center for Spains New World colonies. I see knickknacks destined for one of the annual 18th-century trade fairs, where Cubans bought imports from Spain. I also see, pallid from centuries in the sea, dozens of little painted ceramic dogs, lions, cats, and deer later shipped from England. Stacked nearby are sets of dinner dishes, tankards, an hourglass, a bottle of very Old Spanish wine. On another day, in fading light, I walk the ramparts of El Morro, its lighthouse standing tall over Havanas harbor. The old fortress, by day a warren of tourist stops, changes by night, looming deeper into the shadows of Havanas past. As torches light the darkness, I watch Cuban soldiers, costumed as 18th-century Spanish sentries, march along the ramparts of the Castillo de San Carlos and fire a cannon that salutes

翻译三级笔译实务-1 (总分:100.00,做题时间:90分钟) 一、{{B}}Section Ⅰ English Chinese Translation{{/B}}(总题数:1,分数:60.00) 1.A few weeks back, I asked a 14-year-old friend how she was coping with school. Referring to stress, she heaved a big sigh and said: "Aiyah, anything bad that can happen has already happened." Her friends nearby then started pouring out their woes about which subjects they found hard, and so on. Pessimism again, in these all-too-familiar remarks about Singapore's education system, widely regarded as too results-oriented, and I wonder why I even bothered to ask. The school system of reaching for A's underlies the country's culture, which emphasizes the chase for economic excellence where wealth and status are must-haves. Such a culture is hard to change. So when I read of how the new Remaking Singapore Committee had set one of its goals as challenging the traditional roads to success, encouraging Singaporeans to realize alternative careers in the arts, sports, research or as entrepreneurs, I had my doubts about its success in this area, if not coupled with help from parents themselves. The new Remaking Singapore Committee is a brainchild of the Singaporean Prime Minister, formed to make Singaporeans look beyond the five C's: cash, condos, clubs, credit cards and cars, to help prepare the nation for the future. It is good that the government wants to do something about the country's preoccupation with material success. But it will be a losing battle if the family unit itself is not involved because I believe the committee's success is rooted in a revamp of an entire culture built from 37 years of independence. This makeover has to start with the most basic societal unit—the family. Parents should not drown their children in mantras of I-want-hundred-marks. Tuition lessons are not the be-all and end-all of life. And a score of 70 for a Chinese paper is definitely not the end of life. If ever I become a parent, I will bring my children camping. I will show them that cooking food in a mess tin over a campfire is fun. I will teach them that there is nothing dirty about lying on a sleeping bag over grass. In fact, it is educational because Orion is up there in the night sky with all the other bright stars whose shapes and patterns tell something more than a myth. For instance, they give directions to the lost traveler, I will say. And who knows, my child may become an astronomer years down the road. All because of the nights I spent with him watching the twinkles in the sky. That's my point. Parents should teach their children that there's more to life than studies. Better still if the nation's leaders echo that idea as well.
