2022年下半年英语三级笔译(CATTI 3) 实务考试真题及参考译文Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.In times of stress, like living through a global pandemic, it' s natural to fall back on soothing habits---gardening, playing video games or lighting up a cigarette.But what are the risks, given that the novel coronavirus at the center of the current crisis attacks the lungs? The science is in its early stages, but studies are finding that cigarette smokers are more likely to have severe infections. There is data to show that if you are a smoker, you're more likely to have adverse outcomes from COVID-19, need mechanical ventilation and die than if you' re not a smoker. Smoking damages the lungs' defense mechanisms, making it harder to fight off COVID-19 and other respiratory diseases.What does science say? Early data was conflicting. Some reports indicated that smoking was not associated with increased adverse outcomes and that smokers were underrepresented in hospital settings, leading some to claim that smokers might even have immunity to the virus. But specialists dismissed the claims as "really fringe stuff". One study found that of those who died of COVID-19, 9 percent were current smokers, compared with 4 percent of those that survived. Smoking, for one thing, inhibits blood cells that would otherwise clean and repair damaged lungs.What about e-cigarettes? Less is known about how coronavirus patients who use e-cigarettes products are faring, but several doctors suspect their trajectory will mirror that of cigarette smokers. Smoking e-cigarettes has all the same adverse effects as smoking ordinary cigarettes does. Smoking anything can irritate the lining of your lungs. If you irritate the lining of your lungs, you set yourself up for trouble, because the disease kills people by attacking the lungs.What about secondhand smoke? Smokers do not expel more of a respiratory virus than non-smokers, although they do cough more. The smoke itself doesn' t seem to increase the amount of virus that gets in the air. However, to the extent that the virus is carried in tiny aerosol particles that stay in the air, one of the possible meansof transmission, the smoke shows where those particles are located. One study showed that people who had been exposed to second hand smoke were more likely to contract tuberculosis and, once they got it, didn' t do as well as those who weren' t exposed to smoke. In terms of these immune-suppressive effects, as it relates to tuberculosis, secondhand smoke has adverse effects.Each virus has its unique pattern of dispersion, and scientists are starting to get a handle on how the novel coronavirus behaves. This understanding is making it possible to rank the risks of different activities from high to low to trivial.The two drivers of the spread of the disease are close contact and crowding in closed spaces, as the virus is mainly transmitted through respiratory droplets and close contact. It spreads through homeless shelter and nursing homes, where people are crowded in with many others. And it spreads through people's households. Scientists have found some trends. For example, spending time dining together or being on public transport might increase the risk of spreading or contracting the disease, while going to a market briefly for five minutes or a transient encounter while you walk or run past someone is considered low risk.The studies were all done through contact tracing, which may turn out to be humanity's greatest strategy for fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. Contact tracing can stop chains of transmission, even after a disease is widespread. Another major benefit is that it offers clues as to how the disease spreads. Each virus has its unique pattern.【参考译文】:适逢直面重重压力之际,恰似人类正身陷于这一场席卷全球的新冠肺炎疫情之图圄。

Enveloped by an ocean of air consisting of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, the planet is the only one in our solar system known to harbor life. Circling the Sun at an average distance of 149 million km (93 million miles), theEarth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system. Its rapid spin and moltennickel-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic field which, coupled with the atmosphere, shields us from nearly all of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun and other stars. Most meteors burn up in the Earth'satmosphere before they can strike the surface. The planet's active geological processes have left no evidence of the ancient pelting it almost certainly received soon after it was formed. The Earth has a single natural satellite -- the Moon.51. Approximately how much of the Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen?D. All of it.A. One-fourth.B. One-half.C. Three-fourths.52.Which of the following helps to create the Earth's magnetic fields?A.Its blue waters.B.Its nitrogen atmosphere.C.Its molten metal core.D.The Moon.53.What two factors help protect the Earth from radiation?A.Magnetic field and atmosphere.B. Rapid spin and molten iron-nickel core.C. The Sun and the Moon.D. Blue waters and white clouds.54.Why does the Earth show almost no signs of having been hit by numerous meteors in the past?A.Humans have built over most of the craters.B.Most meteors fell into the ocean and not on land.C.The Earth's magnetic field repelled most meteors.D.The Earth's natural geologic activity has eliminated most traces.55.The main idea of this passage is that ______.A.there are life-supporting characteristics on the EarthB.the Earth is predominantly waterC.the Earth has no common characteristics with other planetsD.the Earth is the only planet with a moon56.This selection leads one to believe that the Earth ______.A.never gets hit by meteorsB.always gets hit by meteorsC.was hit by meteors some time in the pastD.may be bombarded by meteors in the near futureSince life began eons ago, thousands of creatures have come and gone. Some, such as the dinosaurs, became extinct due to naturally changing ecologic conditions. More recent threats to life forms are humans and their activities. Man has drained marshes, burned prairies, dammed and diverted rivers. Some of the more recent casualties of man's expansion have been the dodo, great auk, passenger pigeon, Irish elk, and Steller's sea cow.Sadly, we can no longer attribute the increasing decline in our wild animals and plant species to "natural" processes. Many species are dying out because of exploitation, habitat alteration or destruction, pollution, or the introduction of new species of plants and animals to an area. As mandated by Congress, protecting endangered species, and restoring them to the point where their existence is no longer jeopardized, is the primary objective of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Endangered Species Program.57.Which of the following is a form of man's habitat alteration?A.Glacial encroachment.B.Hurricanes.C.Dammed rivers.D.Snowstorms.58.Which of the following has become extinct due to man's destruction ?A.African elephant.B.Irish elk.C.Giant panda.D.White Bengal.59.Which of the following would be a likely theme for the next paragraph?A.Naturally changing ecological conditions.B.Animals that have become extinct.C.Achievements of the government Endangered Species Program.D.Programs that have destroyed natural habitats.60.The tone of this passage is ______.A.nationalisticB.pro-wildlifeC.anti-wildlifeD.feminist61.According to this passage, ______.A.man is the cause of some animal extinctionB.animals often bring about their own extinctionC. Congress can absolutely end extinction of animalsD.a law is more important than human responsibility62.Which of the following is NOT a cause of increasing decline of wild animal population?A.Exploitation.B.Pollution.C.Habitat alteration.D.Congressional law.The "Karat" marking on jewelry tells you what proportion of gold is mixed with other metals. If 14 parts ofgold are mixed with 10 parts of base metal, the combination is called 14 Karat (14K) gold. The higher the Karat rating, the higher the proportion of gold in the object. The lowest Karat gold that can be marketed in the United States is 10-Karat gold. Jewelry does not have to be marked with its Karat quality, but most of it is. If there is aKarat quality mark, next to it must be the U.S. registered trademark of the person or company that will stand behind the mark, as required by the National Gold and Silver Stamping Act.63.If a ring is stamped 24K, it has ______.A.204 parts of goldB.24 parts of goldC.two and four-tenths parts of goldD.10 parts of gold64.Gold which is 10 Karats in proportion ______ in the U.S.A.represents the highest grade of goldB.cannot be soldC.never carries a Karat quality markD.represents the lowest-grade gold marketable65.If gold is marked with a Karat quality mark, it must also bear ______.A.a national gold and silver stampB.the registered trademark of the entity standing behind the markC.a "made in the USA" markD.a percentage mark66.If the jewelry is marked 14 parts of gold mixed with 10 parts of base metal, it will always bear ______ mark.A.a 14KB.a 10KC.an 18KD.a platinum67.This paragraph serves the consumer as ______.A.important buying informationB.a challenge to buy more goldC.a debate over gold pricesD.advice about buying silver68.The Stamping Act is ______.A.a regulation for taxB.rule of lawC.a law that makes such stamping mandate .D. an implementMr. Faugel was convinced that student nervousness had affected their scores; to reduce the anxiety of these students who had already been tested, he gave 22 of them a beta blocker before readministration of the test. Their scores improved significantly. The other 8 students (who did not receive the beta blockers) improved only slightly. Second-time test-takers nationwide had average improvements which were similar to those in Faugel's non-beta blocker group. Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years. These medications, which interfere with the effects of adrenalin, have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright. Now they are used for test anxiety. These drags seem to help test-takers who have low scores because of test fright, but not those who do not know the material. Since there can be side effects from these beta blockers, physicians are not ready to prescribe them routinely for all test-takers.69.Where is the only place a person can obtain beta blockers?A.Supermarket.B.Convenience store.C.Stationary store.D. Doctor's office.70.Why are beta blockers not prescribed regularly?A.Students are expected to do poorly.B.There are side effects.C.The drugs are only 25 years old.D.They cause test anxiety.71.According to the passage, ______.A.all people can take beta blockersB.beta blockers are widely prescribedC.beta blockers work only on test anxietyD.beta blockers work only to improve test scores if the test-taker truly knows the material72."Re-administration" in this passage refers to giving ______.A.the test again to people without administering beta blockersB.the test again to both groups after beta blockers have been administered to one groupC.the test to both groups of test-takers and then giving them beta blockersD.the beta blockers without retesting73.What possible use for beta blockers was NOT discussed in this passage?A.Test anxiety.B.Z Pain relief.C.Minor stress.D.Heart conditions.74.Beta blockers work on some physical and emotional symptoms because they ______.A.fool a person into a healthier stanceB.interfere with the effects of adrenalinC.produce side effects worse than the symptomsD.primarily change human thought processes75.Faugel's research showed that beta blockers given to his sample ______.A.increased scores less than the national averageB.increased scores the same as the national averageC. decreased scoresD. increased scores much more than the nationalaverage Section 3: Cloze Test (20 Points)In the following passage, there are 20 blanks representing words that are missing from the context. You are to provide each of the blanks with the missing word. The time for this section is 20 minutes.When I tell people that I'm a professor of communication, they often are confused (1) what the term "communication" means. Many people think mass communication is the (2)type of communication, but mass communication is only one form of communication. The study of mass communication focuses on messages that are (3)over(4) such as television, newspapers, and radio. Other areas of(5)focus on the messages individuals send to one another. Some of the major contexts in which communication is studied(6)the interpersonal context, the organizational context, and the intercultural context. A scholar studying(7) communication, for example, might examine how married couples(8) with misunderstandings and the effects these misunderstandings have on (9)satisfaction. Organizational communication scholars, on the other hand, might study(10)the communication styles used by managers and their subordinates influence productivity and efficiency in a company or factory.My area of specialization is intercultural communication. Intercultural communication is an(11)field of study which incorporates research from disciplines(12)as social psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology, sociolinguistics,and of course, communication.One of the(13)important areas of research addressed by intercultural scholars is how misunderstandings can be(14)when people communicate with Others from different(15). To understand the process of intercultural communication, we must study how individuals' cultural backgrounds(16)their communication behaviors.The area of intercultural communication is a relatively new(17)of study even in the United States. While most Chinese students studying communication in the United States(18) on mass communication, there are some who are interested in intercultural communication and plan to return to China to teach and(19)research in this area. The work of these Chinese scholars on intercultural communication is important because it will help improve(20) between Chinese and Americans in the future.Section 4: Writing (30 Points)In the first paragraph, you should start with your general statement, followed with your arguments in the second paragraph. You should conclude your writing in the third paragraph with suggestions or ideas of your own. Markswill be given to (1) clear overall views of subjects, (2) original ideas and clear idea organization, (3) passage cohesion and smooth language flow, (4) accurate use of words and grammar. The time for this part is 30 minutes.

Its diverse manifestations - from our cherished historic monuments andmuseums to traditional practices and contemporary art forms - enrich oureveryday lives in countless ways. Heritage constitutes a source of identity andcohesion for communities disrupted by bewildering change and economicinstability. Creativity contributes to building open, inclusive and pluralisticsocieties. Both heritage and creativity lay the foundations for vibrant, innovativeand prosperous knowledge societies.在当今这个彼此紧密关联的世界,文化对社会的改造力度有目共睹。
从我们珍视的历史遗迹与博物馆,到形形色色的传统习俗与当代艺术形式,文化的表现形式丰富多样,其以各种各样的方式,将我们的日常生活装点地多姿多彩。
文化的承袭问题因此就成为了身份认同与社区凝聚力的源头,但同时,又因为受到种种令人困惑的变化以及来自经济的动荡不安,从而使得文化的承袭遭受震荡。
所以,文化创意有助于建设一个兼容并包与允许多元化存在的社会。
文化承袭与文化创意一道,为营造一个活力满满、不断创新与繁荣兴旺的知识型社会奠定了牢固的基石。

2019.11 英语三级笔译实务汉译英试题CE作为中国浙江省省会城市,杭州是中国著名历史文化名城.距今约5300多年的良渚文化遗址(位于杭州余杭区)是中华文明发祥地之一。
杭州以美丽的山水著称于世。
中国古代谚语“上有天堂,下有苏杭"表达出古往今来人们对于这座美丽城市的由衷喜爱。
位于杭州西南的西湖,以其秀丽的湖光山色和众多名胜古迹而成为闻名中外的旅游胜城,2011年被正式列入《世界遗产名录》。
此外,气势浩荡的钱江大潮,每年吸引无数游客。

2019.06 CATTI 英语三级笔译实务试题ECBoth WHO’s constitution and the declaration assert that health is a human right, not a privilege for those who can afford it. Over time, that right has made its way into both national and international law. But importantly, the right to health is not simply a noble idea on a piece of paper。
In the past 70 years, it has been a platform for major improvements in global health. Since 1948, lifeexpectancy has increased by 25 years. Maternal and childhood mortality have plummeted。

B.不同的国家的人对送礼的态度各不相同。
C.国与国之问人们对送礼物的看法不尽相同。
D.各国人们送礼的做法都在变化。

Nature and ArtNature contains the elements, in colour and form, of all pictures, as the keyboard contains the notes of all music.But the artist is born to pick, and choose, and group with science, these elements, that the result may be beautiful—as the musician gathers his notes, and forms his chords, until he brings forth from the chaos glorious harmony.To say to the painter, that Nature is to be taken as she is, is to say to the player, that he may sit on the piano…The dignity of the snow-capped mountain is lost in distinctness, but the joy of the tourist is to recognize the traveller on the top. The desire to see, for the sake of seeing, is, with the mass, alone the one to be gratified, hence the delight in detail.And when the evening mist clothes the riverside with poetry, as with a veil, and the poor buildings lose themselves in the dim sky, and the tall chimneys become campanili, and the warehouses are palaces in the night, and the whole city hangs in the heavens, and fairy-land is before us—then the wayfarer hastens home; the working man and the cultured one, the wise man and the one of pleasure, cease to understand, as they have ceased to see, and Nature, who, for once, has sung in tune, sings her exquisite song to the artist alone, her son and her master—her son in that loves her, her master in that he knows her.To him her secrets are unfolded, to him her lessons have become gradually clear. He looks at her flower, not with the enlarging lens, that may gather facts for the botanist, but with the light of the one who sees in her choice selection of brilliant tones and delicate tints, suggestions of future harmonies.He does not confine himself to purposeless copying, without thought, each blade of grass, as commended by the inconsequent, but, in the long curve of the narrow leaf, corrected by the straight tall stem, he learns how grace is wedded to dignity. How strength enhances sweetness, that elegance shall be the result.In the citron wing of the pale butterfly, with its dainty spots of orange, he sees before him the stately halls of fair gold, with their slender saffron pillars, and is taught how the delicate drawing high upon the walls shall be traced in tender tones of orpiment, and repeated by the base in notes of graver hue.In all that is dainty and lovable he finds hints for his own combinations, and thus is Nature ever his resource and always at his service, and to him is naught refused.Through his brain, as through the last alembic, is distilled the refined essence of that thought which began with the Gods, and which they left him to carry out.Set apart by them to complete their works, he produces that wondrous thing called the masterpiece, which surpasses in perfection all that they have contrived in what is called Nature; and the Gods stand by and marvel, and perceive how far away more beautiful is the Venus of Melos than was their own Eve.自然与艺术就色彩和形状而论,大自然包含所有图画的元素,就像键盘包含所有音乐的音符一样。
艺术家的天职就是对这些元素进行选择,将它们巧妙地糅合起来,构成一幅美丽的图画——就像音乐家用声音谱成和音,从混乱无序的声音中创作出动听和谐的乐曲一样。
如果对画家说他可以照大自然本来的样子画,就等于对演奏家说他可以一屁股坐在钢琴的键盘上……白雪皑皑的高山若是变得清晰可见就失去了它的威严,但观光者却因为能看见山顶上的游客而喜形于色。
大多数人是为了看见而要看见,只是为了使这个愿望得到满足而已,因此他们仅以能看见细节为快。
当傍晚富有诗意的迷雾象柔纱般地笼罩着河边,破旧的建筑消失在朦胧的天空,高高的烟囱变成一座座钟楼,大大小小的仓库恍如夜间的宫殿,整个城市悬在了空中,宛若仙境展现在我们眼前,那时候,路上的人们匆匆走路回家;劳动者和文化人,智者和浪子,因为他们熟视无睹,他们也就不能理解,而只在此时才开始歌唱的大自然便把自己微妙的歌唱给艺术家——她的儿子和她的主人;说他是儿子是因为他爱她,说他是主人是因为他理解她。
只有对他,她才展现她的秘密,只有对他,她的内涵才逐渐变得清晰。
他观察着她的花朵,不是用为植物学家采集实据的放大镜,而是用一种眼光,她用这种眼光在她精选的灿烂色调和精妙色彩中可以看见即将诞生的画面是多么和谐。
他并非不假思索地描摹每一片草叶,如同那些不谙此道的人们所赞扬的那样,而是在又高又直的茎干上的细长叶弯里,他发现,优雅和尊严融为一体,力量使它更加温柔,而后才产生了高雅。
在蝴蝶那淡淡的香橼色并布满雅致的橘黄斑点的翅膀上,他看见庄严的金色大厅就在眼前,还有又细又高的金黄顶柱,并且懂得了那高墙上精巧的图画要用轻柔的雄黄色调来描绘,并要以更加庄重的色调为底色将其绘制下来。
在所有这些雅致和可爱的元素里,他得到如何进行融合的启示,这样,大自然就成了他取之不尽的源泉,随时为他服务,对他从不拒绝。
通过他的大脑,如同通过最后一道蒸馏器一样,那发端于诸神,并由诸神托付他去实现的思想精髓得以净化。
由于受到诸神的青睐去完成他们的作品,他创作了被称之为杰作的绝妙之作,它的完美超出诸神在大自然里所创造的一切;他们站在一旁,惊叹不已,并发现米洛斯岛上的维纳斯像比他们自己的夏娃要美丽得多。
第二部分:汉译英译文(50分)出生在天津的美国作家岁月悠悠。
一晃也是如云如烟的往事了。
1981年秋,天津作家协会刚刚恢复工作,曾任美国作家联盟主席的约翰·赫赛(John Hersey)到天津来了。
他是自费来中国旅游,又是特地来重温故乡之梦的。
天津怎么是赫赛的故乡呢?原来他父亲是美国传教士,曾任天津基督教青年会(YMCA :Young Men's Christian Association)干事多年;他母亲应南开中学邀请到南开中学任英语教师。
随他来的翻译多说了几句,说他母亲教出了一位世界知名的人物,那就是周恩来。
说他曾经玩笑地说,他是在母亲的肚皮里就已经认识这位伟大的人物了。
他1914年出生在天津,11岁离开天津,回到美国。
但天津一直留在他的心头,1939年和1945年都来重温过故乡之梦,这次是第三次了。
赫赛这次重温故乡之梦,做了一定的准备。
随来他的翻译又多说了几句,说他在北京请人为他译读了天津作家的一些作品,对孙梨的《荷花淀》与方纪的《来访者》评价很高,这就看出他对人生和现实的态度了。
转天,我应邀到他房间去长谈。
他把微型录音机放在茶几上,要把我的原话和翻译的译语都录下来。
他要我介绍唐山大地震给天津带来的灾难,又要我介绍天津作家的情况,说那两次重返故乡,他都没听说过天津也有作家,特别是听到作家写作不仅拿稿费而且月月有薪金时,仿佛是一大发现,惊奇得在笔记本上做了记录。
