2015年5月CATTI三级笔译真题及答案

Section1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)

For generations, coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretch of eastern Utah. Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiled underground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that winds toward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with the slogan “Coal =Jobs.”

犹他州东部有一个矿产丰富的小镇，那里的人们祖祖辈辈都以采煤为生。一提起在地下辛苦采煤时的情景，每个家庭总是倍感骄傲。街道两旁的煤炭供应公司一个挨着一个。在通往矿井的蜿蜒小路上方的广告牌上，一个满脸炭灰的矿工凝视着远方，旁边的标语写着“煤炭=工作”。

But recently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant, tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricter federal pollution regulations.

但是最近，小镇的人们心里充满了恐惧。联邦政府新颁布了一套更为严格的污染管理条例，这使得小镇附近峡谷之中的一家美国最古老的燃煤电厂频临倒闭。

As energy companies tack away from coal, toward cleaner, cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slip away. Dozens of workers at the facility here, the Carbon Power Plant, have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs. Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere.

由于能源公司纷纷弃用煤炭，转而使用更清洁、更廉价的天然气，小镇的人们越来越害怕，他们的家园可能很快就会人去楼空。卡本电厂的几十名工人早就意识到，他们要么提前退休，要么另谋职业。当地的货运和装配人员正准备开发外地的业务。

“There are a lot of p eople worried,” said Kyle Davis, who has been employed at the plant since he was 18.

凯尔戴维斯从18岁起，一直在卡本电厂工作。他说：“很多人都在担忧。

”Mr. Davis, 56, worked his way up from sweeping floors to managing operations at the plant, whose furnaces have been burning since 1954.

戴维斯先生今年56岁，从清洁工人一直做到电厂的经营主管。卡本电厂的高炉从1954年开工，一直燃烧至今。

“I would have liked to be here for another five years,” he said. “I’m too young to retire.”

他说：“如果可能，我还想再工作五年。毕竟我还很年轻，没到退休年龄。”

公共事业公司落基山电力公司是卡本电厂的经营者，公司已经决定，要达到联邦政府最新规定的水银排放标准，就必须改造日趋老化的电厂，而改造费用实在是太贵了，并不可行。电厂计划在2015年4月关闭。

“We had been working for the better part of three years, testing compliance strategies,” said David Eskelsen, a spokesman for the utility. “None of the ones we investigated really would produce the results that would meet the requirements.”

大卫艾斯凯尔森是电力公司的发言人。他说：“三年来，我们一直在不断地努力改善，尝试各种合规策略。经过调查，这些策略都不能满足政府的要求。”

近年来，政府的环境保护条例愈加苛刻，人们用电的需求量逐渐下滑，加之公共事业公司打算向天然气转型，美国境内已经有数家燃煤电厂被迫关闭。

This month, the board of directors of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the country’s largest public power utility, voted to shut eight coal-powered plants in Alabama and Kentucky and partly replace them with gas-fired power. Since 2010,more than150 coal plants have been closed or scheduled for retirement.

田纳西河流域管理局是美国最大的公共电力公司。本月，其董事会投票表决，关闭位于阿拉巴马州和肯塔基州的八家燃煤电厂，部分电厂转成天然气电厂。2010年起，150多家燃煤电厂有的已经关闭，有的即将关闭。

美国环保局估计，这些针对燃煤电厂制定的更为严格的排放管理条例将节省数十亿美元的健康储蓄金，明显改善空气质量。

In recent weeks, the ag ency held 11 “listening sessions” around the country in advance of proposing additional rules for carbon dioxide emissions.

二氧化碳排放的补充条款颁布之前，美国环保局近几周来在全国范围内召开了11场“听证会”。

“Coal plants are the single largest source of dangerous carbon pollution in the United States, and we have ready alternatives like wind and solar to replace them,” said Bruce Nilles, director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign,which wants to shut all of the nation’s coal plants.

布鲁斯尼尔斯是塞拉俱乐部“超越煤炭”活动的负责人，该行动旨在关闭美国所有的燃煤电厂。他说“燃煤电厂是美国危险性最大的碳污染源，我们已经采取其他能源代替煤炭，比如风力发电和太阳能发电。”

For many here, coal jobs are all they know. The industry united the area during hard times, too, especially during the dark days after nine men died in a 2007mining accident some 35 miles down the highway. Virtually everyone around Price knew the men, six of whom remain entombed in the mountainside.

对于这里的许多人来说，采煤对他们再熟悉不过了。卡本的煤炭工业在困难时间也能把人们团结起来，尤其是2007年矿难发生后的黑暗时期。那次矿难发生在距离公路南35英里的矿区，矿难造成九人死亡，普里斯附近每一个人几乎都认识遇难者，有六名遇难者至今还埋在山里。

But there is quiet acknowledgment that Carbon County will have to change — if not now, soon.

尽管如此，人们心里还是默默地承认，卡本县必须改变，现在不变，不久也会变。

David Palacios’s father, Pete, who worked in the mines for 43 years, has seen coal roar and fade here. Now 86, his eyes grew cloudy as he recalled his first mining job. He was12, and earned $1 a day.

大卫帕拉西奥斯的父亲名叫皮特，在矿区工作了43年，见证了卡本煤炭工业的兴衰。皮特今年86岁，当回忆第一次采煤的情景，他双眼湿润了。那年他才12岁，每天挣1美元。

“I’m retired, so I’ll be fine. But these young guys?” Pete Palacios said, his voice trailing off. “我退休了，日子会好过一些。可是这样年轻人呢”皮特帕拉西奥斯说，声音低不可闻。

文章的第一段正是我们在翻译课上反复强调的7大成分不做主句处理的一个典型实例。我们着重讲授了如下7个成分一般情况下不在英语句子中充当主要句子成分，而是处理为附带或次要成分，这样才能够将英语的语句处理得错落有致，层次分明。

7大成分包括：历史，文化，人口，地理位置，创建时间，占地面积以及对主语的基本界定。第一段中涉及“地理位置”，“对主语的基本界定”。按照我们所讲的方法，把地理位置放在句首作为独立结构，然后出现主语，再连接对主语的基本界定，即同位语短语，最后是主句。

Located in eastern Guizhou Province, Tianzhu County, an important gateway to Provinces of Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang from Sichuan Province, Chongqing and Guizhou Province, is known to the world as “the First Pass in Eastern Guizhou”, “the Land of Barite in China” and “the Gold Town on the Guizhou Plateau.”

文章的第二段出现了7大成分中的“占地面积”和“人口”，因此，我们把该段的语序适当调整一下，先译“占地面积”，然后出现主语，后面紧跟同位语，即对主语的基本界定，最后是主句。

Covering a total area of 2,201 kilometers, Tianzhu County, one of the counties in Guizhou Province with the highest concentration of ethnic minorities with a population of 410,000, predominated by the Dong and the Miao ethnicities, making up 98.3% of the local population, holds jurisdiction over 16 townships and 326 administrative villages.

第三段有5句，按照我们课上所讲的方法，第一句和第二句合并可以处理成如下versions，体现动词谓语的变化或带有宗教色彩的动词,另外，我们所讲的“是”字的译法，“特点”的英译也能够充分表现出来。

“蕴藏”一词可以译成：boast, be blessed with/be favored with, be endowed with,

“气候温和，土壤肥沃”应该可以将其视为“特点”，

“是”一词可以译成：serve as, function as, play the role of,

Version 1.Featured by its moderate climate and fertile soil, Tianzhu, boasting abundant natural resources, serves as a major base of grain production, reputed as “Breadbasket in East Guizhou.”

Version 2.Tianzhu,blessed with abundant natural resources and featured by its moderate climate and fertile soil, serves as a major base of grain producti on, reputed as “Breadbasket in East Guizhou.”

此外，如果将我们在《中国茶文化》语篇中讲的用词，也可以这样来译：

Be home to sth.表示蕴藏，富有，是。。。的故乡。

Featured by its moderate climate and fertile soil,Tianzhu, home to abundant natural resources, serves as a major base of grain production, reputed as “Breadbasket in East Guizhou.”

第三句翻译的要点在于“产”字，由于“烟叶”是一种农作物，因此，建议使用“yield”做动词或名词来译该句。

This locality is also a major tobacco producer in China with an annual yield of 26,000 dans (1 dan =50 kilograms).

第四句的要点是将森林面积作为附带成分，使用介词短语来表达。还应注意英语句子连词丰富的特点，在该句的开始应该与上一个句子有一个承上启下的连词，表达其递进关系。

Furthermore, it is favored with rich and vast forests with a total forest area of 1.85 million mus

(1 mu=1/15 hectares), covering 56% of the area, as one of the top ten largest bases of forest resources in Guizhou.

第五句“十分丰富”可由形容词短语作表语转换成动词短语。

It also abounds in such mineral resources as barite, gold, coal, etc.

最后一段汉语由三个句子组成，第一句可以运用我们课上所讲的witness这一句型来译：

China’s “Going West” development program has witnessed the rapid rise of Tianzhu County.

还可以译成：

Greatly benefiting from China’s “Going West”development program, Tianzhu County has been rapidly developing.用“greatly benefiting from…”来表示“得益于…”。

第二句首先要梳理句子结构，我们课上讲的4Cs的第一个C，即connotation，把该句的逻辑关系梳理清楚，“城镇面貌日新月异”可以是对该句前边内容的一个概括总结，采用“总分结构”处理：

Remarkable changes have taken place in the county: steady economic growth, ever-growing improvement of the people’s living standards, increasing adjustment and optimization of the industrial structure as well as the infrastructure improvement.

第三句“…的新天柱呈现在世人面前”可以调整到句首，把前面的若干成分做该句宾语后的定语处理：

Tianzhu is unfolding a new picture of its sound ecological environment, well-developed culture and education, improved comprehensive services, ideal living conditions and dynamic economic growth.

相信，我们的同学会在此次考试中取得骄人的成绩，同时也提醒各位考生以此次的汉译英语段命题作为今后汉译英语段翻译的一个风向标，对说明文的翻译加强练习，以应对今后的三级，甚至二级笔译实务中的语句处理。

Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)

世世代代，煤炭始终是东犹他州这片矿产丰富地区的命脉。采煤的家庭自豪地回忆起他们在地下艰苦劳作的岁月。小镇的街道上煤炭供应公司鳞次栉比。在那蜿蜒曲折通往煤矿的山路上方，从广告牌的一侧露出一张矿工布满煤灰的脸，旁边写着这样的一句口号“煤碳=饭碗。”

But recently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant, tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricter federal pollution regulations.

但最近，恐惧之感渐渐袭来。由于新颁布的联邦排放法规更严格，该州位于镇附近峡谷中的最古老的燃煤电厂已确定关闭。

随着能源企业脱离煤炭，转向更清洁，更廉价的天然气，这里的人们也越来越担心他们的社区会很快悄然消失。在这里的工厂----卡本发电厂(碳发电厂)里的几十个工人已经得知，他们必须提前退休或寻求其他工作。当地的运输和设备装置企业正准备到其它地方寻找业务。

“There are a lot of people worried,”said Kyle Davis, who has been employed at the plant since he was 18.

凯尔·戴维斯自18岁就一直在这家工厂做工，他说：“这里有很多人在担心”。

Mr. Davis, 56, worked his way up from sweeping floors to managing operations at the plant, whose furnaces have been burning since 1954.

戴维斯先生现年56岁，他一路努力工作，从扫地工升任为工厂的业务主管，该厂的火炉自1954年以来一直在燃烧。

“I would have liked to be here for another five years,”he said. “I’m too young to retire.”

“我原本打算在这里再干五年，”他说。“我还太年轻，退休早了点。”

但管理这家工厂的洛基山电力公司认为，要改造老化的工厂来满足对汞排放的新的联邦标准这一做法实在成本太高。该工厂预计将于2015年四月关闭。

“We had been working for the better part of three years, testing compliance strategies,”said David Eskelsen, a spokesman for the utility. “None of the ones we investigated really would produce the results that would meet the requirements.”

该电厂的发言人大卫·艾斯克森说：“在过去的三年中，我们的时间主要用于检测电厂的各种合规策略。我们的检测发现，任何一种合规策略都无法达到新法规的要求。”

For the last several years, coal plants have been shutting down across the country, driven by tougher environmental regulations, flattening electricity demand and a move by utilities toward natural gas. This month, the board of directors of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the country’s largest public power utility, voted to shut eight coal-powered plants in Alabama and Kentucky and partly replace them with gas-fired power. Since 2010, more than 150 coal plants have been closed or scheduled for retirement.

近几年来，由于环保法规更加严格、电力需求不断下降、而公用事业公司又转向天然气供应，全国各地的燃煤电厂纷纷关闭。本月，全国最大的公共电力公司--田纳西流域管理局董事会投票决定，关闭位于阿拉巴马州和肯塔基州的八家燃煤电厂并将其中一些电厂升级为燃气电厂。自2010年以来，有150多家燃煤电厂已经关闭或即将退役。

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the stricter emissions regulations for the plants will result in billions of dollars in related health savings, and will have a sweeping impact on air quality. In recent weeks, the agency held 11 “listen ing sessions” around the country in advance of proposing additional rules for carbon dioxide emissions.

环保局预计，更加严格的排放法规将能节省数十亿美元的医疗开支并将对空气质量产生全面的影响/能明显改善空气质量。最近几周，环保局在提议出台二氧化碳排放补充条例之前，在全国范围内举行了11次“听证会”。

“Coal plants are the single largest source of dangerous carbon pollution in the United States, and we have ready alternatives like wind and solar to replace them,”said Bruce Nilles, director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign, which wants to shut all of the nation’s coal plants.

塞拉俱乐部发起的“超越煤炭”运动希望关闭全国所有的燃煤电厂。该运动的负责人布鲁斯·奈尔斯说：“在美国，燃煤电厂是危险的碳排放的最大恶源。我们已有现成的方法比如用风能和太阳能取代燃煤电厂。”

For many here, coal jobs are all they know. The industry united the area during hard times, too, especially during the dark days after nine men died in a 2007 mining accident some 35 miles down the highway. Virtually everyone around Price knew the men, six of whom remain entombed in the mountainside. But there is quiet acknowledgment that Carbon County will have to change —if not now, soon.

对于这里的很多人而言，他们所知道的·只有煤炭开采工作。煤炭行业在艰难时期也能将该地区团结起来，尤其是在2007年矿难事件后的黑暗时期。那次矿难发生在沿高速公路向南

大约35英里的地方，造成九名矿工遇难。普赖斯附近的所有人几乎都认识遇难者，其中有六名遇难者至今仍埋葬在山腰处。但是现在每个人的心里都清楚，卡本县将会发生变化，即便不是现在发生，也会很快就发生。

Pete Palacios, who worked in the mines for 43 years, has seen coal roar and fade here. Now 86, his eyes grew cloudy as he recalled his first mining job. He was 12, and earned $1 a day. “I’m retired, so I’ll be fine. But these young guys?”Pete Palacios said, his voice trailing off.

皮特·帕拉斯奥斯已经86岁高龄了，曾在矿山工作43年，见证了煤炭行业的兴衰。他12岁时就开始工作，每天可以赚到一美元，回忆起自己第一份采矿工作时，老人的目光中充满了忧愁。他说：“我已经退休了，所以我可以安享晚年。但是这些年轻人今后该怎么办呢?”老人说这番话时声音越来越低沉。

对这个地处犹他州东部、矿产丰富的地区而言，煤炭在过去几代人的眼里一直都是这个地区的生命线/经济命脉。每当回忆起作为矿工在地下采煤的岁月时，每个家庭都会感到无比自豪。大街的煤炭供应公司栉比鳞次/鳞次栉比。在蜿蜒通向矿区的马路上方，可见一处广告牌，上面除了有句“煤炭=工作”的口号，还有位满身烟灰的矿工正凝视着前方。

由于能源公司摒弃煤炭转而发展更加清洁、更加廉价的天然气，这里的人们越来越担心他们的家园可能很快就会悄然消失/不复存在。卡本电厂（Carbon Power Plant）的几十号工人已得知，他们必须提前退休或另谋职业。当地的卡车运输和装备人员正准备到其他地方去发展业务。

But Rocky Mountain Power, the utility that operates the plant, has determined that it would be too expensive to retrofit the aging plant to meet new federal standards on mercury emissions. The plant is scheduled to be shut by April 2015.“We had been working for the better part of three years, testing compliance strategie s,” said David Eskelsen, a spokesman for the utility. “None of the ones we investigated really would produce the results that would meet the requirements.”

但是目前负责运营卡本电厂的落基山电力公司（Rocky Mountain Power）已决定，如果为了达到有关汞排放量的新联邦标准而对该电厂的老旧设备进行翻新改造，代价过高，并不可行。该电厂计划于2015年4月底前关闭。该电厂的发言人大卫·艾斯克森（David Eskelsen）说：“在过去的三年中，我们的时间主要用于检测电厂的各种合规策略。我们的检测发现，任何一种合规策略都无法达到新法规的要求。”

Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere. 由于能源公司纷纷弃用煤炭，转而使用更清洁、更廉价的天然气，小镇的人们越来越害怕，他们的家园可能很快就会人去楼空。卡本电厂的几十名工人早就意识到，他们要么提前退休，要么另谋职业。当地的货运和装配人员正准备开发外地的业务。

2018-11 【英译中】【Passage 1】 New drone footage gives a glimpse of the damage that Hawaii’s Big Island sustained in the wake of volcanic explosions in recent days. Smoke can be seen billowing off the lava as it creeps down roads and through wooded areas toward homes. Fires are visible with terrifying streams of brightness breaking through the surrounding areas of black. After a day of relative calm, Kilauea roared back in full force on Sunday,spewing lava 300 feet in the air, encroaching on a half mile of new ground and bringing the total number of destroyed structures to 35. 从无人机拍摄到的最新视频中，可以大概了解到近日火山喷发后，夏威夷大岛所遭受的损失情况。火山岩浆在道路上、树林里蔓延，直逼住家，岩浆所到处浓烟滚滚。在一片漆黑中可见多处大火，火光十分刺眼。基拉韦厄火山经过相对平静的一天后，周日又火力全开，将岩浆喷到300英尺高空，又侵蚀了半英里土地，共有35处建筑遭摧毁。 There have been 1,800 residents evacuated from their neighborhoods where cracks have been opening and spilling lava. In evacuated areas with relatively low sulfur dioxide levels, residents were allowed to return home for a few hours to collect belongings on Sunday and Monday. Officials said those residents – a little more than half of the evacuees — were allowed to return briefly, and they would continue to allow residents in if it could be done safely. 由于地面开裂、岩浆涌出，1800社区居民被疏散。周六周日，在二氧化硫浓度不高的被疏散区域，居民获准回家几个小时收拾家中物品。当地官员称，这些居民——约占被疏散居民总数的半数多些——被准许回家短暂停留，并且在保证安全的前提下，允许其他居民回家。 “Things got pretty active,” an official said at a Saturday press conference. “The eight volcanoes were pretty active, to the point where lava was spewing and the flow started spreading so we got additional damage out there. I’m not sure what the count is, but we thought it was just continuing to go. Fortunately, seismicity has laid down and the volcanoes have gone quiet now.” But officials had cautioned that while the lava flow was quiet, it wouldn’t be for long. “More volcano es could open up, the existing ones could get active again.” There’s a lot of lava under the ground so eventually it’s going to come up.” “这些火山变的很活跃，”一位官员在周六举行的新闻发布会上称，“有八个火山变的很活跃，岩浆喷出后，四处扩散，因此我们那里损失又多了些。我现在还不了解损失总数，但我们认为这个数字仍在不断攀升。庆幸地是，现在地震强度已经减弱，火山也开始平息下来了。”但是官员警告称，虽然岩浆流动慢下来了，

2006年5月英语CATTI三级《笔译实务》真题试题部分： Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) (60 points) Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120 minutes. Freed by warming, waters once locked beneath ice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle. In Bykovsky, a village of 457 on Russia's northeast coast, the shoreline is collapsing, creeping closer and closer to houses and tanks of heating oil, at a rate of 15 to 18 feet a year. "It is practically all ice - permafrost - and it is thawing." For the four million people who live north of the Arctic Circle, a changing climate presents new opportunities. But it also threatens their environment, their homes and, for those whose traditions rely on the ice-bound wilderness, the preservation of their culture. A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries its own rewards and dangers for people in the region. The discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry. Coastal erosion is a problem in Alaska as well, forcing the United States to prepare to relocate several Inuit villages at a projected cost of $100 million or more for each one. Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with traditions shaped by centuries of living in extremes of cold and ice are noticing changes in weather and wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding. In Finnmark, Norway's northernmost province, the Arctic landscape unfolds in late winter as an endless snowy plateau, silent but for the cries of the reindeer and the occasional whine of a snowmobile herding them. A changing Arctic is felt there, too. "The reindeer are becoming unhappy," said Issat Eira, a 31-year-old reindeer herder. Few countries rival Norway when it comes to protecting the environment and preserving indigenous customs. The state has lavished its oil wealth on the region, and Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance. And yet no amount of government support can convince Mr. Eira that his livelihood, intractably entwined with the reindeer, is not about to change. Like a Texas cattleman, he keeps the size of his herd secret. But he said warmer temperatures in fall and spring were melting the top layers of snow, which then refreeze as ice, making it harder for his reindeer to dig through to the lichen they eat. "The people who are making the decisions, they are living in the south and they are living in towns," said Mr. Eira, sitting inside his home made of reindeer hides. "They don't mark the change of weather. It is only people who live in nature and get resources from nature who mark it." Section 2: Chinese-English Translation(汉译英) (40 points) Translate the following passage into English. The time for this section is 60 minutes. 维护世界和平，促进共同发展，谋求合作共赢，是各国人民的共同愿望，也是不可抗拒的当今时代潮流。中国高举和平、发展、合作的旗帜，坚持走和平发展道路，与世界各国一道，共同致力于建设一个持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界。中国与世界从未像今天这样紧密相连。中国政府把中国人民的根本利益与各国人民的共同利益结合起来，坚持奉行防御性的国防政策。中国的国防服从和服务于国家发展战略和安全战略，旨在维护国家安全统一，确保实现全面建设小康社会的宏伟目标。中国永远是维护世界和平、安全、稳定的坚定力量。中国在经济不断发展的基础上推进国防和军队现代化，是适应世界新军事变革发展趋势、维护国家安全和发展利益的需要。中国不会与任何国家进行军备竞赛，不会对任何国家构成军事威胁。新世纪新阶段，中国把科学发展观作为国防和军队建设的重要指导方针，积极推进中国特色军事变革，努力实现国防和军队建设全面协调可持续发展。

Section1: English-Chinese Translation（英译汉）（50 points）Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 100 minutes. PALOS DE LA FRONTERA, Spain — Back home in Gambia, Amadou Jallow was, at 22, a lover of reggae who had just finished college and had landed a job teaching science in a high school. But Europe beckoned. In his West African homeland, Mr. Jall ow?s salary was the equivalent of just 50 euros a month, barely enough for the necessities, he said. And everywhere in his neighborhood in Serekunda, Gambia?s largest city, there was talk of easy money to be made in Europe. Now he laughs bitterly about all that talk. He lives in a patch of woods here in southern Spain, just outside the village of Palos de la Frontera, with hundreds of other immigrants. They have built their homes out of plastic sheeting and cardboard, unsure if the water they drink from an open pipe is safe. After six years on the continent, Mr. Jallow is rail thin, and his eyes have a yellow tinge. “We are not bush people,” he said recently as he gathered twigs to start a fire. “You think you are civilized. But this is how we live here. We suffer here.” The political upheaval in Libya and elsewhere in North Africa has opened the way for thousands of new migrants to make their way to Europe across the Mediterranean. Already some 25,000 have reached the island of Lampedusa, Italy, and hundreds more have arrived at Malta. The boats, at first, brought mostly Tunisians. But lately there have been more sub-Saharans. Experts say thousands more — many of whom have been moving around North Africa trying to get to Europe for years, including Somalis, Eritreans, Senegalese and Nigerians — are likely to follow, sure that a better life awaits them. But for Mr. Jallow and for many others who arrived before them, often after days at sea without food or water, Europe has offered hardships they never imagined. These days Mr. Jallow survives on two meals a day, mostly a leaden paste made from flour and oil, which he stirs with a branch. “It keeps the hunger away,” he said. The authorities estimate that there are perhaps 10,000 immigrants living in the woods in the southern Spanish province of Andalusia, a region known for its crops of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and there are thousands more migrants in areas that produce olives, oranges and vegetables. Most of them have stories that echo Mr. Jal low?s. From the road, their encampments look like igloos tucked among the trees. Up close, the squalor is clear. Piles of garbage and flies are everywhere. Old clothes, stiff from dirt and rain, hang from branches. “There is everything in there,” said Diego Ca?amero, the leader of the farm workers? union in Andalusia, which tries to advocate for the men. “You have rats and snakes and mice and fleas.” The men in the woods do not call home with the truth, though. They send pictures of themselves posing next to Mercedes cars parked on the street, the kind of pictures that Mr. Jallow says he fell for so many years ago. Now he shakes his head toward his neighbors, who will not talk to reporters. “So many lies,” he said. “It is terrible what they are doing. But they are embarrassed.”

Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉)(50 points) 文章来源：The New York Times The Money Ran Out; Then the Villagers Stepped In HIGUERA DE LA SERENA, Spain —It didn’t take long for Manuel Garc ía Murillo, a bricklayer who took over as mayor here last June, to realize that his town was in trouble. It was 800,000 euros, a little more than $1 million, in the red. There was no cash on hand to pay for anything —and there was work that needed to be done. But then an amazing thing happened, he said. Just as the health department was about to close down the day care center because it didn’t have a proper kitchen, Bernardo Benítez, a construction worker, offered to put up the walls and the tiles free. Then, Maria José Carmona, an adult education teacher, stepped in to clean the place up. And somehow, the volunteers just kept coming. Every Sunday now, the residents of this town in southwest Spain —young and old —do what needs to be done, whether it is cleaning the streets, raking the leaves, unclogging culverts or planting trees in the park. “It was an initiative from them,”said Mr. García. “Day to day we talked to people and we told them there was no money. Of course, they could see it. The grass in between the sidewalks was up to my thigh. “

CATTI翻译资格考试二级笔译综合能力及实务真题详解

2003年12英语二级《笔译综合能力》试题 Part1 Summary Writing 1.Read the following English passage and then write a Chinese summary of approximately 300 words that expresses its main ideas and basic information (40 points, 50 minutes) Deceptively small in column inches, a recent New York Times article holds large meaning for us in business. The item concerned one Daniel Provenzano, 38, of Upper Saddle River, N.J. Here is the relevant portion: When he owned a Fort Lee printing company called Advice Inc., Mr. Provenzano said he found out that a sales representative he employment had stolen $9,000. Mr. Provenzano said he told the man that “if he wanted to keep his employment, I would have to break his thumb.” He said another Advice employee drove the sales representative to Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck, broke the thumb with a hammer outside the hospital, and then had a car service take the man home after the thumb was repaired. Mr. Provenzano explained that he “didn’t want to set an example” that workers could get away with stealing. The worker eventually paid back $4,500 and kept his job, he said. I know that you’re thinking: This is an outrage. I, too, was shocked that Provenzano was being prosecuted for his astute management. Indeed, I think his “modest proposal” has a lot to teach managers as they struggle with the problems of our people-centered business environment. Problems such as …. Dealing with the bottom 10%. GE made the system famous, but plenty of companies are using it: Every year you get rid of the worst-evaluated workers. Many managers object that this practice is inhumane, but not dealing with that bottom 10% leads to big performance problems. Provenzano found a kinder, gentler answer. After all, this employee would have been fired virtually anywhere else. But at Advice Inc., he stayed on the job. And you know what? I bet he become a very, very —very —productive employee. For most managers Provenzano’s innovative response will be a welcome new addition to their executive tool kit. And by the way, “executive tool kit” is clearly more than just a metaphor at Advice Inc. Being the employer of choice. With top talent scarce everywhere, most companies now want to be their industry’s or their community’s most desirable. Advice Inc. understood. The employee in question wasn’t simply disciplined in his supervisor’s office and sent home. No, that’s how an ordinary employer would have done it. But at Advice Inc., another employee —the HR manager, perhaps? —took time out his busy day and drove the guy right to the emergency room. And then —the detail that says it all —the company provided a car service to drive the employee home. The message to talented job candidates comes through loud and clear: Advice Inc. is a company that cares. Setting an example to others. An eternal problem for managers is how to let all employees know what happens to those who perform especially well or badly. A few companies actually post everyone’s salary and bonus on their intranet. But pay is so one-dimensional. At Advice Inc., a problem that would hardly be mentioned at most companies —embezzlement —was undoubtedly the topic of rich discussions for weeks, at least until the employee’s cast came off. Any employee theft probably went way, way —way —down. When the great Roberto Goizueta was CEO of Coca-Cola he used to talk about this problem of setting examples and once observed, “Sometimes you must have an execution in the public square!” But of course he was speaking only figuratively. If he had just listened to his own words, Goizueta might have been an even better CEO. Differentiation. This is one of Jack Welch’s favorite concepts —the idea that managers should treat different employees very differently based on performance. Welch liked to differentiate with salary, bonus, and stock options, but now, in what must henceforth be known as the post-Provenzano management era, we can see that GE’s great management thinker just wasn’t thinking big enough. This Times article is tantalizing and frustrating. In just a few sentences it opens a whole new world of management, yet much more surely remains to be told. We must all urge Provenzano to write a book explaining his complete managerial philosophy. 2.Read the following Chinese passage and then write an English summary of approximately 250 words that expresses its central ideas and main viewpoints (40 points, 50 minutes) 越是对原作体会深刻，越是欣赏原文的每秒，越觉得心长力，越觉得译文远远的传达不出原作的神韵。返工的次数愈来愈多，时间也花得愈来愈多，结果却总是不满意。……例如句子的转弯抹角太生硬，色彩单调，说理强而描绘弱，处处都和我性格的缺陷与偏差有关。自然，我并不因此灰心，照样“知其不可为而为之”，不过要心情愉快也很难了。
