研究生《学术英语翻译》课程作业-1班级:(填8/9/10/11班) 姓名:学号:得分:英译汉原文:If a martian graced our planet, it would bestruck by one remarkable similarity amongEarth’s living creatures and a key difference.Concerning similarity, it would note that allliving things are designedon the basis ofhighly conserved developmentalsystemsthat read an (almost)universal language encodedin DNA basepairs. As such, life isarranged hierarchicallywith a foundationof discrete, unblendableunits (codons, and,for the most part,genes) capable of combiningto create increasinglycomplex and virtuallylimitless varietiesof both species and individualorganisms. Incontrast, it would noticethe absence of a universalcode of communication.If our martian naturalistwere meticulous,it might notethat the faculty mediatinghuman communication appears remarkablydifferent from that of other livingcreatures;it might further note that the humanfaculty of language appears to be organizedlike the genetic code—hierarchical, generative,recursive, and virtually limitless withrespect to its scope of expression. With thesepieces in hand, this martian might begin towonder how the genetic code changed in sucha way as to generate a vast number of mutuallyincomprehensible communication systemsacross species while maintaining clarityof comprehension within a given species. Themartian would have stumbled onto some ofthe essential problems surrounding thequestion of language evolution, and of howhumans acquired the faculty of language.(提示:faculty of language译为“语言官能”)。
Unit 3参考译文:亚洲开发银行的大湄公河次区域合作规划项目[1] 大湄公河次区域是亚洲开发银行(亚行)的创意,它最初由五个国家和一个省份组成-他们分别是柬埔寨王国,缅甸联邦,泰王国,越南社会主义共和国,老挝人民民主共和国和中华人民共和国的云南省。
[2] 大湄公河次区域是一个拥有巨大经济潜力和丰富自然资源的区域。
七千多万的人民生活在湄公河流域,整个次区域将近两亿六千万人。
大湄公河次区域也经历了世界上最快的经济增长率。
尽管贫穷,环境的恶化和人力资源的缺乏以及不同的社会发展和治理结构阻碍了可持续和公平发展。
自六个成员国于1992年开始合作以来,大湄公河次区域经历了空前的整合进程。
通过国际组织,非政府组织和私人投资的资金支持和多边合作,大湄公河次区域经历了经济的迅速发展。
然而直至,大湄公河次区域的整合主要是通过国际组织,尤其是亚行和外国政府的资金从外部的驱动。
为了在六个成员国达到真正意义上的整合和合作,创立新的大湄公河次区域精神是很有必要的。
在最初开始的15年后,该区域的双边和多边合作进一步增强,其公民的认同感也进一步加深,这一切将为历史上麻烦不断的区域提供长期的和平及可持续发展铺平道路。
大湄公河次区域的资源[3] 大湄公河次区域的自然资源极为丰富,他们都是上天的馈赠。
陆地上有木材,矿产品,煤和石油,来自许多河流的水支撑着农业和渔业并与水电的方式提供能源。
该区域煤的储量也极为丰富,还有大量的石油和天然气。
这些资源的储量大多分布在缅甸,泰国和越南。
这些丰富的能源资源还未被开发使用。
该区域的大多数人们的存活之道仍然是农耕式的生活方式。
[4] 大约三亿的人们居住在此区域,他们最普通的联系纽带就是在他们中间蜿蜒穿行4200公里的这巨大的湄公河。
居住在该区域的大多数农民仍然过着农耕或者半农耕的生活方式。
例如,在老挝超过75%的人口是农村人。
在大多数湄公河沿岸国家中的都市中,仍然保留有很多的农业社区,尤其是在这些个国家的北部和东北部,即便是在泰国也如此。
研究生学术综合英语补充课文的原文翻译和习题答案Lesson One Spell of the Rising Moon I. READING COMPREHENSION A. Answer the following questions or complete the following statements. 1. D (But it is the drama of the moonrise that I come to see. For that restores in me a quiet and clarity that the city spends too freely.)2. D ( There have been broad, confident harvest moons in autumn; shy, misty moons in spring; lonely, white winter moons rising into the utter silence of an ink-black sky and smoke-smudged orange moons over the dry fields of summer. Each, like fine music, excited my heart and then calmed my soul.)3. C (To prehistoric hunters the moon overhead was as unerring as heartbeat. They knewthat every 29 days it became full-bellied and brilliant, then sickened and died, and then was reborn. They knew the waxing moon appeared larger and higher overhead after each succeeding sunset. They knew the waning moon rose later each night until it vanished in the sunrise.) 4. B (Still, it tugs at our minds. If we unexpectedly encounter the full moon, huge and yellow over the horizon, we are helpless but to stare back at its commanding presence.) 5. B (I learned about its gifts one July evening in the mountains. My car had mysteriously stalled, and I was stranded and alone.) 6. B (To watch the moon move inexorably higher is to find an unusual stillness within ourselves.)7. D (On that July night, I watched the moon for an hour or two, and then got back into the car, turned the key in the ignition and heard the engine start, just asmysteriously as it had stalled a few hours earlier.) 8. A (I return often to the rising moon. I am drawn especially when events crowd ease and clarity of vision into a small corner of my life.) 9. A (Of Beethoven’s \Lorenzo declaims in The Merchant of Venice, //How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank! / Here will we sit and let the sounds of music/Creep in our ears.\I wonder if their verse and music, like the music of crickets, are in some way voices of the moon.) 10.A (The whole passage.) B.Global understanding and logical structures Complete the following notes with the information, from the text: 1. The author often climbs the hill near his home at night to watch the drama of the moonrise because it can restore in him a quiet and clarity that the city spends too freely. 1 2. To the author the different mood and color of the moonare: A. In autumn: broad, confident harvest B. In spring: shy, misty C. In winter: lonely, white D. In summer: smoke-smudged orange 3. A. To prehistoric hunters the moon overhead was as unerring as heartbeat. B. To contemporary people live indoors few can say what time the moon will rise tonight.C. But if we unexpectedly encounter the full moon, we are helpless but to stare back at its commanding presence. 4. The moon has gifts to bestow upon those who watch it: Example: One July evening in the mountains, the author’s car mysteriously stalled, and he was stranded and alone. He took the advantage to watch the moonrise for an hour or two. When he got back into the car, the engine started just as mysteriously as it had stalled a few hours earlier. 5. Later on the author often returns to the rising moon when events crowd ease an clarity ofvision into a small corner of my life. He listens to the sound of owls and crickets and thinks the beautiful music and poems about the moon. 6. At moonrise, people open the vents of feeling and exercise parts of our minds that reason locks away by day. II. VOCABULARY A. Choose the best word from the four choices to complete each of the following sentences. 1. B 2. C 3. A 4. D5. A6. B7. A8. C9. A 10. BB. Choose the best word or expression from the list given for each blank. Use each word or expression only once and make proper changes where necessary.1. swoop2. cricket3. smudged4. Stalled5. tugs at6. stay clear of7. slipped into8. crowded into9. loom up10. stranded III. CLOZE 1. just as 2. permanent 3. depend on 4. phase 5. shadow 6. Resembling 7. lunar 8. closer 9. illuminated10. waning IV. TRANSLATION Put the following parts into Chinese. V. ORAL PRACTICE AND DISCUSSION 1. How does the author describe the moonrise? Is it the same as you see it? The sun had set, and I was watching what seemed to be the bright-orange glow of a forest fire beyond a ridge to the east. Suddenly, the ridge itself seemed to burst into flame. Then, the rising moon, huge and red 2 and grotesquely misshapen by the dust and sweat of the summer atmosphere, loomed up out of the woods. Distorted thus by the hot breath of earth, the moon seemed ill-tempered and imperfect??But as the moon lifted off the ridge it gathered firmness and authority. Its complexion changed from red, to orange, to gold, to impassive yellow. It seemed to draw light out of the darkening earth, for as it rose, the hills and valleys below grew dimmer.By the time the moon stood clear of the horizon, full chested and round and the color of ivory, the valleys were deep shadows in the landscape?? The drama took an hour. Moonrise is slow and serried with subtleties。

Unit 1 Understanding Academic EnglishObjectives:- Learn the purpose of this course- Get to understand different voices that people often use in their communication - Understand features of academic English- Build your learning ability via the Internet- Meet your teacher and new classmatesContents- Teacher’s introduction- Reading and discussion: How’s your voice?- Language focus: word choice, and structural complexity- Writing practice: understanding different styles- Rewriting practice: consolidating academic English writing skills- Classroom extension: Internet survey on features of academic English1.Reading Activity1.1 Pre-reading TaskDo you know how to write a paper with an academic voice? Most Chinese students use only the casual voice for their daily life purposes, which does not fit the academic writing style. When you can learn to use an academic voice and a formal writing style, you will gain authority and respect for yourself as a researcher as well as a research writer.Read the following three texts with different kinds of voice and tell what they differ in.1.2 Reading PassageHOW’S YOUR VOICE?Casual VoiceHey, dude, no way you can sit here!Huzzah! We won! We beat ‘em! Ha! Blue Vampires. They think they’re so great. We showed ‘em. Go Aardvarks!Yuck! I hate broccoli with those nasty, stinkin’ mush-rooms. Why do we gotta have these things again, man?!www, we gotta cancel the Consultative VoiceYou’re not allowed to sit inthis area, because it’s asafety concern.I’m so glad for our team, thegreat Fighting Aardvarks,and now together wecelebrate this victory.I’d prefer not to have thisparticular vegetable again, ifit’s possible. Does anyonereally enjoy this combinationof mushrooms and broccoli?It’s possible that our partymight have to be postponedor canceled because of theAcademic VoiceThis area must be keptclear for foot traffic.The Fighting Aardvarksclaimed victory over theBlue Vampires in thefinal round tonight. Bothteams competed well andthe fans are enthusiastic.Very few people enjoythis broccoli andmushroom dish.Therefore, it will not beserved again within thiscalendar year, or theservers will be killed.Due to the inclementweather, the AnnualTattoo Party will notparty ‘cause it’s totally raining like crazy! Sweeeet! I love those Indiana Jones movies! They’re awesome with the whip and the bugs and stuff. Everyone loves those flicks!bad weather that’s threaten-ing our location.Indiana Jones films arereally very popular withyour age group. Critics can’tdecide why such an oldcharacter is so appealing.take place this Thursdayat Finster Park. Theplanning committee willreschedule the event andrelease information assoon as possible.Hollywood is perplexedat the reasons that Indi-ana Jones is so favoredby such youngaudiences. The answerremains a mystery.1.3Reading Comprehension1.3.1 Do you know in which situation these voices are appropriately used? And why?1.3.2 Read the passage carefully again and decide the differences among them.2Language Focus2.1 Word ChoiceAcademic voice can be well expressed by choosing words. Here are some words to acquire:Here are some words to avoid.2.1.1 Can you match the formal and informal words and phrases?2.2 Structural complexity‘Syntax’ is the technical word that is used to describe sentence structure. It is extremely important that well-arranged sentences carry an academic voice, whereas choppy, simple sentences sound oral and colloquial. Sentences that are too short and poorly connected can be irritating to read. Conversely, sentences that are too long and rambling are difficult to follow and are likely to be confusing. Use a sentence length that allows your thoughts to flow clearly. Rewrite the following sentences into a text with well-ordered sentences and structural complexity.A conjunction connects words, phrases, or clauses. It indicates the relationship between the elements. These elements connect. We often find the following thing. In only one single sentence a conjunction contains one or more ideas. These ideas may be equal or unequal in importance. Ideas are equal, and we call them coordinate ideas. For example, John studies electronics. Helen studies Computing. These two sentences can become a compound sentence. It shows the relationship between the two ideas. We want to maintain the equality of the ideas. We call the clauses in the new sentence coordinate clauses.3.Writing Practice3.1Understanding different stylesRead the following texts and decide where they come from.1At AT & Bell Laboratories infrared lasers are being used to capture live microbes. Working like optical tweezers, the pressure of the laser light traps minute objects in itsfocus point. Researchers are using the device to move around viruses bacteria, and other cells they are study under the microscope. After several hours, however, the focus light will heat up the microbes to a boiling point.____________________________________________________________________ 2All we ask is that you spend two hours of your time attending a Barratt Sales presentation. There, you’ll discover the ben efits of timeshare. At Barratt we call it Holiday Ownership because that’s why it really is. You’ll be under no obligation to purchase, but we think you may be tempted._____________________________________________________________________ 3There were only two Americans stopping at the hotel. They did not know any of the people they passed on the stairs on their way to and from their room. Their room was on the second floor facing the sea. It also faced the public garden and the war monument. There were big palms and green benches in the public garden. In the good weather there was always an artist with his easel. Artists liked the way the palms grew and the bright colors of the hotels facing the gardens and the sea.4Although many studies have already been done, more studies are needed to determine the effects of microcomputer-assisted instruction in various teaching situations.____________________________________________________________________ 5The parents of a seven-year-old Australian boy woke to find a giant python crushing and trying to swallow him. The incident occurred in Cairns, Queensland and the boy’s mother, Mrs. Dryden said: “it was like a horror movie. It was a hot night. He suddenly started screaming. We rushed to the bedroom to find a huge snake trying to strangle him. ” Mrs. Dryden and her husband, Peter, tried to stab the creature with knives, but the python bit the boy several times before escaping.____________________________________________________________________3.2. Choosing appropriate stylesNow you are going to write an essay in class for your teacher’s assignments. Which of the following sentences you would like to use for your writing?1. He couldn’t finish his work in the time given.2. The first set of results were compiled and presented by the other group of students.3. I would like to focus on the following areas of research: …4. They argued that this methodology was unreliable.5. In addition, the data was used to focus on the following hypothesis.6. I enjoyed my English class with you and am having a good experience this semester.7. At about twelve pm on August 21, 1984, she told us, I came out of the kitchen to toss out some water.8. We, at any rate, will continue to keep an open mind.9. Is the menu at that the French restaurant giving you trouble? Then you might need the V oice, a hand-held computer that translates spoken English into French, Spanish, German or Italian.10. There is an emerging consensus that a concerted effort on a national level will be required to capture the glittering prizes that a new technology offers.3.3. Rewriting PracticeRewrite the following passage into an academic one.Why are there so many jams on the roads these days? One thing is that public transportation like trains, buses, etc., is so dear. A long time ago cars cost a lot but now, unfortunately, they’ve got a lot cheaper. Another thing is that driving is a lot nicer than waiting for a bus. The trouble is that if everyone buys a car the roads get packed.4Writing ProjectThe following is a checklist for writing in academic English. It is not complete. Use the Internet, books, textbooks and lecturers' expertise to find out what other conventions could be applied to using academic English. And make a list of these conventions and keep this for future reference.Writing academic English● Use academic voice● Write with structural complexity● Avoid casual style● Distinguish formal and informal words and phrases●…5. Final Checklist。
Every field of study has its own language and its own way of thinking. Mathematicians talk about axioms, integrals, and vector spaces. Psychologists talk about ego, id, and cognitive dissonance. Lawyers talk about venue, torts, and promissory estoppel.每个研究领域都有它自己的语言和思考方式。
数学家谈论定理、积分以及向量空间。
心理学家谈论自我、本能、以及认知的不一致性。
律师谈论犯罪地点、侵权行为以及约定的禁止翻供。
Economics is no different. Supply, demand, elasticity, comparative advantage, consumer surplus, deadweight loss—these terms are part of the economist’s language. In the comi ng chapters, you will encounter many new terms and some familiar words that economists use in specialized ways. At first, this new language may seem needlessly arcane. But, as you will see, its value lies in its ability to provide you a new and useful way of thinking about the world in which you live.经济学家也一样。

英译汉原文:
If a martian graced our planet, it would bestruck by one remarkable similarity amongEarth’s living creatures and a key difference.Concerning similarity, it would note that allliving things are designedon the basis ofhighly conserved developmentalsystemsthat read an (almost)universal language encodedin DNA basepairs. As such, life isarranged hierarchicallywith a foundationof discrete, unblendableunits (codons, and,for the most part,genes) capable of combiningto create increasinglycomplex and virtuallylimitless varietiesof both species and individualorganisms. Incontrast, it would noticethe absence of a universalcode of communication.
If our martian naturalistwere meticulous,it might notethat the faculty mediatinghuman communication appears remarkablydifferent from that of other livingcreatures;it might further note that the humanfaculty of language appears to be organizedlike the genetic code—hierarchical, generative,recursive, and virtually limitless withrespect to its scope of expression. With thesepieces in hand, this martian might begin towonder how the genetic code changed in sucha way as to generate a vast number of mutuallyincomprehensible communication systemsacross species while maintaining clarityof comprehension within a given species. Themartian would have stumbled onto some ofthe essential problems surrounding thequestion of language evolution, and of howhumans acquired the faculty of language.
