Part A Compulsory Translation (必译题)(30 points)

The first outline of The Ascent of Man was written in July 1969and the last foot of film was shot in December 1972. An undertaking as large as this, though wonderfully exhilarating, is not entered lightly. It demands an unflagging intellectual and physical vigour, a total immersion, which I had to be sure that I could sustain with pleasure; for instance, I had to put off researches that I had already begun; and I ought to explain what moved me to do so.

There has been a deep change in the temper of science in the last20 years: the focus of attention has shifted from the physical to the life sciences. As a result, science is drawn more and more to the study of individuality. But the interested spectator is hardly aware yet how far-reaching the effect is in changing the image of man that science moulds. As a mathematician trained in physics, I too would have been unaware, had not a series of lucky chances taken me into the life sciences in middle age. I owe a debt for the good fortune that carried me into two seminal fields of science in one lifetime; and though I do not know to whom the debt is due, I conceived The Ascent of Man in gratitude to repay it.

The invitation to me from the British Broadcasting Corporation was to present the development of science in a series of television programmes to match those of Lord Clark on Civilisation. Television is an admirable medium- for exposition in several ways: powerful and immediate to the eye, able to take the spectator bodily into the places and processes that are described, and conversational enough to make him conscious that what he witnesses are not events but the actions of people. The last of these merits is to my mind the most cogent, and it weighed most with me in agreeing to cast a personal biography of ideas in the form of television essays. The point is that knowledge in general and science in particular does not consist of abstract but of man-made ideas, all the way from its beginnings to its modern and idiosyncratic models. Therefore the underlying concepts that unlock nature must be shown to arise early and in the simplest cultures of man from his basic and specific faculties. And the development of science which joins them in more and more complex conjunctions must be seen to be equally human: discoveries are made by men, not merely by minds, so that they are alive and charged with individuality. If television is not used to make these thoughts concrete, it is wasted.

Part B Optional Translations (二选一题)(30 points)

Topic 1 (选题一)

It's not that we are afraid of seeing him stumble, of scribbling a mustache over his career. Sure, the nice part of us wants Mike to know we appreciate him, that he still reigns, at least in our memory. The truth, though, is that we don't want him to come back because even for Michael Jordan, this would be an act of hubris so monumental as to make his trademark confidence twist

into conceit. We don't want him back on the court because no one likes a show-off. The stumbling? That will be fun.

But we are nice people, we Americans, with 225 years of optimism at our backs. Days ago when M.J. said he had made a decision about returning to the NBA in September, we got excited. He had said the day before, "I look forward to playing, and hopefully I can get to that point where I can make that decision. It's O.K., to have some doubt, and it's O.K. to have some nervousness." A Time/CNN poll last week has Americans, 2 to 1, saying they would like him on the court ASAP. And only 21 percent thought that if he came back and just completely bombed, it would damage his legend. In fact only 28 percent think athletes should retire at their peak.

Sources close to him tell Time that when Jordan first talked about a comeback with the Washington Wizards, the team Jordan co-owns and would play for, some of his trusted advisers privately tried to discourage him. "But they say if they try to stop him, it will only firm up his resolve," says an NBA source.

The problem with Jordan's return is not only that he can't possibly live up to the storybook ending he gave up in 1998 - earning his sixth ring with a last-second championship-winning shot. The problem is that the motives for coming back - needing the attention, needing to play even when his 38-year-old body does not - violate the very myth of Jordan, the myth of absolute control. Babe Ruth, the 20th century's first star, was a gust of fat bravado and drunken talent, while Jordan ended the century by proving the elegance of resolve; Babe's pointing to the bleachers replaced by the charm of a backpedaling shoulder shrug. Jordan symbolized success by not sullying his brand with his politics, his opinion or superstar personality. To be a Jordan fan was to be a fan of classiness and confidence.

To come back when he knows that playing for Wizards won't get him anywhere near the second round of the play-offs, when he knows that he won't be the league scoring leader, that's a loss of control.

Jordan does not care what we think. Friends say that he takes articles that tell him not to come back and tacks them all on his refrigerator as inspiration. So why bother writing something telling him not to come back? He is still Michael Jordan.

Topic 2 (选题二)

Even after I was too grown-up to play that game and too grown-up to tell my mother that I loved her, I still believed I was the best daughter. Didn't I run all the way up to the terrace to check on the drying mango pickles whenever she asked?

As I entered my teens, it seemed that I was becoming an even better, more loving daughter. Didn't I drop whatever I was doing each afternoon to go to the corner grocery to pick up any spices my mother had run out of?

My mother, on the other hand, seemed more and more unloving to me. Some days she positively resembled a witch as she threatened to pack me off to my second uncle's home in provincial Barddhaman - a fate worse than death to a cool Calcutta girl like me - if my grades didn't improve. Other days she would sit me down and tell me about "Girls Who Brought Shame to Their Families". There were apparently, a million ways in which one could do this, and my mother was determined that I should be cautioned against every one of them. On principle, she disapproved of everything I wanted to do, from going to study in America to perming my hair, and her favorite phrase was "over my dead body." It was clear that I loved her far more than she loved me - that is, if she loved me at all.

After I finished graduate school in America and got married, my relationship with my mother improved a great deal. Though occasionally dubious about my choice of a writing career, overall she thought I'd shaped up nicely. I thought the same about her. We established a rhythm: She'd write from India and give me all the gossip and send care packages with my favorite kind of mango pickle; I'd call her from the United States and tell her all the things I'd been up to and send care packages with instant vanilla pudding, for which she'd developed a great fondness. We loved each other equally - or so I believed until my first son, Anand, was born.

My son's birth shook up my neat, organized, in-control adult existence in ways I hadn't imagined. I went through six weeks of being shrouded in an exhausted fog of postpartum depression. As my husband and I walked our wailing baby up and down through the night, and I seriously contemplated going AWOL, I wondered if I was cut out to be a mother at all. And mother love - what was that all about?

Then one morning, as I was changing yet another diaper, Anand grinned up at me with his toothless gums. Hmm, I thought. This little brown scrawny thing is kind of cute after all. Things progressed rapidly from there. Before I knew it, I'd moved the extra bed into the baby's room and was spending many nights on it, bonding with my son.

Topic 1(选题一)

近年来,中国经济保持快速发展,为世界经济发展注入了活力。实践证明了中国在加入世贸组织之前的预言:中国的发展离不开世界,世界的发展需要中国。未来20 年,在全面建设小康社会的进程中,中国一定会对世界经济的发展和实现全人类的共同进步做出历史性的贡献。为此,中国将继续扩大外贸,大力实施西部大开发战略,进一步改善投资环境,为外商提供更大的商机。同时,中国将引导和支持更多有比较优势的企业对外投资,开展平等互利、形式多样的经济技术合作。中国将进一步加强双边、多边和区域经济合作,实现世界各国各地区的共同发展。

Topic 2 (选题二)

移动电话正在成为21 世纪一个主要的技术领域。在几年之内,移动电话将会发展成为多功能的通信工具,除了语音之外,还可以传输和接收视频信号、静止图像、数据和文本。个人通信的新纪元即将到来。

在一定程度上多亏了无线网络的发展,电话正在与个人电脑和电视融合起来。不久之后,配有高分辨率显示屏的轻巧手机便可以与卫星连接。人们可以随时随地通话,收发电子邮件

或者参加视像电话会议。这种手机也许还会吸收电脑的许多主要功能。移动通信工具有望带来一些互联网所能提供的新服务,如股票交易、购物及预订戏票和飞机票。

电信革命已在全球范围内展开。不久之后,用一台装置就可以收到几乎任何形式的电子通信信号。最有可能的是一部三合一手机。在家里它可以用作无绳电话,在路上用作移动电话,在办公室里用作内部通话装置。有些专家甚至认为移动视像电话将超过电视,成为主要的视频信息来源。

INTERPRETATION TEST (Paper 62) 2005.5

Part A

Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English. After you have heard each sentence or paragraph, interpret it into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal…and stop it at the signal…You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now let us begin Part A with the first passage.

Passage 1:

People tour and travel for various purposes. Some people travel entirely for the purpose of recreation or pleasure; we can say that they are people on holiday./ Some people travel for reasons of health. Other people travel to visit friends or relatives. Still others travel in order to educate and enrich themselves.// All of these people are generally considered tourists since the primary reason for their trips is recreation. Of course, tourists also include those men and women who are traveling on business.//

Among those tourists, there are business people and government officials on specific missions, as well as people attending meetings or conventions, who often combine pleasure with their work.

Passage 2:

Natural changes in the climate are probably to blame for the unusual weather conditions in many parts of the world. In recent days there have been floods in Central Europe, parts of Russia, the Philippines, India and China.// The weather effect, which is known as El Nino, occurs every few years and causes warming of the Pacific Ocean near South America. It can have severe, destructive effects on rainfall.//

However, some people say that El Nino hasn’t properly started yet and only affects the Southern Hemisphere. So there is no way it can explain the heavy rains

in Europe.//

Therefore, flooding in European countries, is not uncommon. Only a few years ago the River Oder on the Polish-German border caused huge amounts of damage. Natural changes in the weather are probably to blame, but human influence cannot be ruled out.

Part B

Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in Chinese. After you have each sentence or paragraph, interpret it into English. Start interpreting at the signal…and stop it at the signal…You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now, let us begin Part B with the first passage.

Passage 1

当前,中美关系面临新的机遇和挑战。总的来看,中美合作的基础在增强,合作领域在扩大。//现在,两国人员往来每年超过百万人次,在美工作或学习的大陆留学生和学者超过18万。这些交流与合作造福了两国人民,也对世界和平与繁荣作出了积极贡献。//

我在美国前后工作近7年,到过50个州,经历了中美关系的风风雨雨。//我的切身体会是,中美之间的共同利益远远大于分歧。中美应该而且也可以成为最大的合作伙伴。

Passage 2:

在中国,居民委员会是一种群众性的基层组织.通常,有许多退休人员自愿在他们居住所在地的居委会工作.//在地方政府的协助下,居委会为本地居地在日常生活的方方面面提供服务财经纪律如计划生育、治安保卫、清洁卫生等。// 许多居民发现他们已经越来越依赖于居委会提供的各种服务。不管他们什么时候要求帮助,都会如愿以偿。//总的来说,居委会是具有中国特色的一种组织。它很早就出现了,到现在还一直发挥着作用,并且将在今后会持续很长时间。

2019年6月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试二级口译实务真题(人事部CATTI考试)

2019年6月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试 英语二级《口译实务》试题 Section 1: English-Chinese translation(英译汉)(50points) Passage 1 When I came here last year, it was 9 months after the agreement was signed by OPEC members and non-OPEC countries. Now we have been out of 3 years of recession. cooperation between 25 countries has helped bring back stability, having a positive impact on world economy and trade. In the past 20 months, the change in the situations is like day and night. However, it’s not the time for us to rest on the su ccess. We should continue to build a healthy and stable market. Despite the recovery, there are still factors that are out of our control: geopolitical crises, disputes between countries and natural disasters. It is important for us to handle these risks and it is crucial to the market in the short term and in the long term. We are in support of the Paris Agreement, which is the most important document about climate change and sustainable energy. Historically, people think renewable energy is the only choice for the future, but I think this idea is misleading. Actually, we need a diversity of energy sources, rather than just one source. New renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are developing rapidly and the share of hydroelectric power remains stable.

(2020年编辑)CATTI笔译三级讲义

文章一:人事部翻译考试出题规律 规律1:多考社会热点内容 近几年真题出现过的内容: 外国人看中国文化;伦敦文化和中国春节;姚明在美国NBA;中国人和外国人对麦当劳不同的看法;新一代居民身份证;上海和上海世博会;讨论世界地球日 考试根源: 中西方文化交流和冲突,以及社会关注的热点话题是一名外事工作者,在中低层次的翻译工作中必然面临的工作内容,这就是以实用为原则的人事部考试出这种题材的原因。 规律2:多考大会的发言 近几年真题出现过的内容: 中国在世界舞台上的崛起;环境保护和自然资源;全球气候变暖;亚洲的价值与繁荣;科学、信息和社会;介绍艾滋病;英国王妃戴安娜的新闻 复习建议: 最早的考试可以忽略不计,戴安娜为新闻体,艾滋病过于专业,因此最近5次考试再也没有重复过这样的题型。因此,复习时应该紧紧扣住大会英语,背记有关大会英语的词汇和高频句子。人事部指定教材的英译汉内容基本都是大会的演讲,尤其是外国人来到中国参加各种大会的演讲,以及世界重大会议的基调发言。 规律3:多考中国政策和特色 近几年真题出现过的内容: 北京市新春致词;香港和香港经济;介绍秦始皇兵马俑;新加坡和新加坡经济;亚洲经济和中国经济;中英外交关系;中美外交关系

复习建议: 这部分的内容最为稳定,复习时抓住指定教材中大而空的汉译英内容,这毕竟是三级考试,不必在语言的细枝末节方面或所谓的"地道"方面太计较。 文章二:三级笔译考试,字典准备,成功的开始 根据两年来我们几个老师在笔译班授课的经验、人事部出题专家的建议和同学们参加考试后反馈回来的意见,刚与杨军老师再次确认,参加三级笔译考试的保险字典应为: 英译汉(以下两本选一本) ● ●译文出版社的《英汉大词典》,主编陆谷孙,老版148元,新版178元,收词20万,是 目前我国最大的单本英译汉辞典,尤其录有大量人名地名等专有名词,这对于考试尤其重要。缺点是单解,但对考试影响不大。 ● ●商务印书馆的《朗文当代英语大辞典》,大字本129元,小字本98元,这是英汉双解的 唯一一本百科全书式的字典,单词量10万,但收有一些人名地名等专有名词,比同类字典较多。同类双解字典基本没有人名地名的译文,个别附录少量收入。 汉译英(以下两本选一本) ● ●外研社出版的《新世纪汉英大词典》,收词14万,同类字典收词最多,大字本188元, 小字本99元,尤其收入大量新词,正对考试胃口。

人事部翻译资格证书(CATTI)2004 年 11 月英语二级《笔译实务》试题及参考答案

Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉)( 60 point ) This section consists of two parts: Part A "Compulsory Translation" and Part B "Optional Translations" which comprises "Topic 1" and "Topic 2". Translate the passage in Part A and your choice from passage in Part B into Chinese. Write "Compulsory Translation" above your translation of Part A and write "Topic 1" or "Topic 2" above your translation of the passage from Part B. The time for this section is 100 minutes. Part A Compulsory Translation (必译题)(30 points) Until recently, scientists knew little about life in the deep sea, nor had they reason to believe that it was being threatened. Now, with the benefit of technology that allows for deeper exploration, researchers have uncovered a remarkable array of species inhabiting the ocean floor at depths of more than 660 feet, or about 200 meters. At the same time, however, technology has also enabled fishermen to reach far deeper than ever before, into areas where bottom trawls can destroy in minutes what has taken nature hundreds and in some cases thousands of years to build. Many of the world's coral species, for example, are found at depths of more than 200 meters. It is also estimated that roughly half of the world's highest seamounts - areas that rise from the ocean floor and are particularly rich in marine life - are also found in the deep ocean. These deep sea ecosystems provide shelter, spawning and breeding areas for fish and other creatures, as well as protection from strong currents and predators. Moreover, they are believed to harbor some of the most extensive reservoirs of life on earth, with estimates ranging from 500,000 to 100 million species inhabiting these largely unexplored and highly fragile ecosystems. Yet just as we are beginning to recognize the tremendous diversity of life in these areas, along with the potential benefits newly found species may hold for human society in the form of potential food products and new medicines, they are at risk of being lost forever. With enhanced ability both to identify where these species-rich areas are located and to trawl in deeper water than before, commercial fishing vessels are now beginning to reach down with nets the size of football fields, catching everything in their path while simultaneously crushing fragile corals and breaking up the delicate structure of reefs and seamounts that provide critical habitat to the countless species of fish and other marine life that inhabit the deep ocean floor. Because deep sea bottom trawling is a recent phenomenon, the damage that has been done is still limited. If steps are taken quickly to prevent this kind of destructive activity from occurring on the high seas, the benefits both to the marine environment and to future generations are incalculable.

2006年5月人事部三级笔译真题 第一部分英译汉471 (比新大纲要求的要少) 第一遍译文: 在北极圈,由于气候变暖,冰层下的水正在融化,这困扰着沿岸的居民。 在俄罗斯北部海岸,有个叫贝科夫斯基的村子,其共有村民457人。这里的海岸线正在塌陷,以每年15-18英尺的速度慢慢逼近民宅和燃料桶。 所有的冰和冻土都是有实际作用的。现在他们却在融化。对于居住在北极圈北部的居民来说,虽然气候变化是个新的契机,但同时也在威胁着他们的生存环境,家庭,以及那些依存于冰上荒原生活产生的传统文化。 随着北极圈不断融化,人们加快了对北极圈的开发。这对于生活在这一区域的居民来说是利弊共存的。在巴伦支海和喀拉海发现了油田。这让人们对可能发生的灾难性事故产生了恐慌。因为,很快,满载着石油,液化气罐的货轮将穿过斯堪的纳维亚的捕鱼区,前往欧洲和北美的销售市场。那些尚未开发的土地,也可能会被发电机,烟囱,大型交通工具散发出来的废物所污染。而这些都是都是用来发展能源产业的。 在阿拉斯加,海岸侵蚀也成为了一个大问题,美国政府不得不重新安置几个纽因特人的村落,这个项目为每个村落的花费高达一亿美元甚至更多。 在整个北极地带,生存着许多原始部落,他们的文化形成于几个世纪以来的极端寒冷环境下的冰上生活。他们已经注意到了气候和野生生物都发生了变化。这些居民们正在适应这些变化,但是这个过程很让人沮丧。 在挪威北部的纽马克省,深冬时节,北极的美景在这里一览无遗。无尽的高原,白雪皑皑,寂静无声,但能听到驯鹿的叫声,以及偶尔传来的雪地车的声音,这些车是放牧用的。然而北极的变化在这里也有所体现,31岁的牧民伊萨特艾勒说:“驯鹿变得越来越不安了。” 挪威将进行环境和文化保护,少有国家能与之竞争。这一区域的石油大量开采,萨米文化得到复兴。 艾勒的生计是与驯鹿密切相关的,但政府不能提供任何帮助来保持艾勒的生活不变。像德克萨斯的一位牧场主一样,艾勒偷偷的保有一定数量的鹿群。但他说秋天气候温暖,泉水将最上层的雪融化,这些雪水会再次结冰,这使得驯鹿很难挖开冰层找到他们吃的地衣。 “做决定的这些人都是住在南部和城市”艾勒坐在鹿皮搭建的房子里说:“他们感受不到气候的变化。只有那些生活在自然界,从自然界中得到资源的人才能意识到气候的变化。” 第二遍译文: 在北极圈,由于气候变暖,冰层下的一些海域正在融化,这困扰着沿岸的居民。

人事部翻译资格证书(CAT人事部英语二级《笔译实务》试题.

人事部翻译资格证书(CATTI)2004年5月英语二级《笔译实务》试 题及参考答案 Section 1: English-Chinese Translation(英译汉)(60 point) This section consists of two parts: Part A "Compulsory Translation" and Part B "Optional Translations" which comprises "Topic 1" and "Topic 2". Translate the passage in Part A and your choice from passage in Part B into Chinese. Write "Compulsory Translation" above your translation of Part A and write "Topic 1" or "Topic 2" above your translation of the passage from Part B. The time for this section is 100 minutes. Part A Compulsory Translation (必译题)(30 points) The first outline of The Ascent of Man was written in July 1969and the last foot of film was shot in December 1972. An undertaking as large as this, though wonderfully exhilarating, is not entered lightly. It demands an unflagging intellectual and physical vigour, a total immersion, which I had to be sure that I could sustain with pleasure; for instance, I had to put off researches that I had already begun; and I ought to explain what moved me to do so. There has been a deep change in the temper of science in the last20 years: the focus of attention has shifted from the physical to the life sciences. As a result, science is drawn more and more to the study of individuality. But the interested spectator is hardly aware yet how far-reaching the effect is in changing the image of man that science moulds. As a mathematician trained in physics, I too would have been unaware, had not a series of lucky chances taken me into the life sciences in middle age. I owe a debt for the good fortune that carried me into two seminal fields of science in one lifetime; and though I do not know to whom the debt is due, I conceived The Ascent of Man in gratitude to repay it. The invitation to me from the British Broadcasting Corporation was to present the development of science in a series of television programmes to match those of Lord Clark on Civilisation. Television is an admirable medium- for exposition in several ways: powerful and immediate to the eye, able to take the spectator bodily into the places and processes that are described, and conversational enough to make him conscious that what he witnesses are not events but the actions of people. The last of these merits is to my mind the most cogent, and it weighed most with me in agreeing to cast a personal biography of ideas in the form of television essays. The point is that knowledge in general and science in particular does not consist of abstract but of man-made ideas, all the way from its beginnings to its modern and idiosyncratic models. Therefore the underlying concepts that unlock nature must be shown to arise early and in the simplest cultures of man from his basic and specific faculties. And the development of science which joins them in more and more complex conjunctions must be seen to be equally human: discoveries are made by men, not merely by minds, so that they are alive and charged with individuality. If television is not used to make these thoughts concrete, it is wasted. Part B Optional Translations (二选一题)(30 points) Topic 1 (选题一) It's not that we are afraid of seeing him stumble, of scribbling a mustache over his career. Sure, the nice part of us wants Mike to know we appreciate him, that he still reigns, at least in our memory. The truth, though, is that we don't want him to come back because even for Michael Jordan, this would be an act of hubris so monumental as to make his trademark confidence twist
