Democracy and personal liberty are not limitless， and they are under the control of certain conditions. It is known that in most parts of the world， the relation between population and resources is already unfavorable and will probably become even more unfavorable in the future.

民主和个人自由并非没有界限，而是受到某些条件的制约。众所周知，在世界绝大多

数地方，人口和资源的关系已经非常不利，而且将来可能会更加不利。

The unbalanced relation between population and resources makes the growing poverty more deteriorat-ing. This growing poverty constitutes a permanent menace to peace. And not only to peace， but also to democratic institutions and personal liberty. For over-population is not compatible with freedom. An unfavor-able relationship between numbers and recourses tends to make the earning of a living almost intolerably difficult. Labor is more abundant than goods， and the individual is forced to work long hours for little pay. The un-friendly nature or the equally unfriendly wielders of po-litical and economic power enable labor to have no sur-plus of accumulated purchasing power.

人口和资源之间不平衡的关系，使得不断增长的贫困现象更加恶化。不断增长的贫困，不仅对世界和平构成永久的威胁，而且还对民主设置和个人自由造成损害。因为过多人口就不能自由地和谐相处。人口数和资源间的不利关系，往往使得谋生达到几乎无法忍受的困难程度。劳动力比商品更加丰富，个人为获得可怜的工资被迫工作更长的时间。不友善的自然或者同样不友善的政治、经济权力的掌控者，使得劳动力没有剩余的购买力。

Democracy is， among other things， the ability to say “no” to the boss. As a man lives in a society confining to a govern-ment， he can‘t say “no” to the boss， unless he is sure of being able to eat when the boss’s favor has been with-drawn. And he cannot be certain of his next meal un-less he owns the means of producing enough wealth for his family to live on， or has been able to accumulate sur-plus out of past wages. If he had a chance of moving to virgin territories， where he could make a fresh start， he would be able to say “no” to the boss， but there is no free land.

民主有别于其他事情，是对老板说“不”的能力。作为一个生活在受政府支配的社会

中的人，除非他确信没有政府的恩惠他也能够吃饱，除非他拥有的财产能足够满足家庭生存，或者从过去工资中积累了可观的剩余，否则是不会对老板说不的。如果他有机会迁到未开垦的疆域，一切可以重新开始，他甘愿对老板说“不”，但世上并没有自由国。

In an overcrowded country， very few people own enough to make them financially independent； very few people are in a position to accumulate purchasing power.

Moreover， in any country where population presses hard upon natural resources，the general eco-nomic situation is apt to be so precarious that govern-ment control of capital and labor， production and con-sumption， becomes inevitable. It results that democratic ideals will not work in conditions of poverty and extreme social unrest.

在人口过度拥挤的国家，很少人拥有能够在经济上保持独立的财产，很少人的购买力能够不断增长。而且，在任何国家，如果人口给自然资源带来巨大压力，那么，普遍的经济状况就会趋于不稳定，政府对资本、劳动力、生产和消费的控制就不可避免。其结果是在贫困和极度社会动荡条件下，民主理念不起作用。

What is an American？ An American is someone who loves their country and the people in it， and believes in bettering their own lives as well as the lives of those around them. Does it really matter that these individuals may be of German or Chinese descent？ No， not at all； their ethnic background has nothing to do with being American. To say that the majority of people in the United States have some sort of tie with an ethnic background from a different country would be a safe assumption. This is what makes our American Culture unique. Immigrants bring to our country strong family structures and strong morals. Foreigners also help our economy prosper. Immigrants are what help make America be America； by being a multicultural society standing united. 美国人是什么？

美国人是这样的人：热爱自己的国家，热爱这个国家的人民，坚信自己的生活和周围人的生活都会越来越好。如果这些美国人是德国或者中国的后裔情形会有所不同吗？不，一点也不会。种族背景与成为美国人毫不相干。如果说大多数美国人都来自不同国家，有不同的种族背景，这种假设肯定成立。正是这点使得美国文化独一无二。移民带给这个国家坚固的家庭结构和强烈的道德观，为经济繁荣也做出了贡献。正是移民帮助美国成为所谓的美国，使得一个多文化的社会联合在一起。

In today‘s American society it is not uncommon for people to be families broken up by divorce or other domestic disturbances. However， immigrants seem to have much stronger family values. For many immigrants， family comes first over everything；for many of them family is all they have. This is especially true of traditional developing societies. Many of these newcomers have strong traditions and beliefs which are strict and are instilled in their children. Immigrants coming to America with this type of beliefs and strong traditions sets good examples for our western civilization. By receiving new cultures to our society it is a chance to absorb their rules and respect they have for one another. This is ideal to help restore our family values.

今日美国社会，人们对于因离婚或其他家庭纠纷造成的家庭破裂早已司空见惯。但移民似乎具有更加强烈的家庭观念。对许多移民而言，家庭重于一切，家庭就是他们拥有的全部。这种情况对于传统的发展中的社会尤其真实。许多新来者带着强烈的传统和严格的信仰，并且会渗透到子女身上。具有这种类型信仰和传统的移民来到美国，为西方文明树立了良好的榜样。通过接受新文化，美国社会有机会相互借鉴，彼此尊重。这对于恢复美国的家庭观念非常有帮助。

It has been said that “immigration is a threat to our economy.” This statement is so absurd. Immigration increases purchasing thereby， increases demand for labor. Immigration not only takes jobs， but also creates them. （Wall Street Journal）For instance， a man comes to America from China. This man opens a small Chinese restaurant. The restaurant makes outstanding business. Ten years later this man owns twelve restaurants and employs three hundred Americans. Stories like that happen all the time， which help our economy.

有人一直在说“移民对美国经济是个巨大的威胁”，这种论调荒谬可笑。迁移能增加周围的购买力，扩大劳动需求；不仅占据工作岗位，而且还创造工作机会（华尔街杂志）。例如，一个人从中国来到美国，开了一家小的中餐馆，由于经营良好，10年之后拥有12家餐馆，雇用300名美国人。类似这样的故事层出不穷，对美国经济大有裨益。

Immigrants are what help America be America. They say that America is just a melting pot. This is what makes our country unique. We have many cultures， many ideas， and traditions， but all of us have the same dream. That Dream is the American Dream. The same dream that keeps Americans in America and immigrants to come here. Diversity of cultures helps people understand and learn from each other. Taking immigration away would hurt this country more than economically， but， socially also.

移民帮助美国成为美国。人们常说美国就是个熔炉，这是美国之所以独一无二的原因。我们有许多不同的文化、观念和传统，但大家都有一个同样的梦想：这就是美国梦。同样的梦想，让美国人坚守美国，让各国移民纷至沓来，文化多样性促进人们相互理解和学习。取缔移民美国不只是经济上遭受损失，社会生活也同样受损。

Immigration， I feel is extremely important. Being an Italian American myself，I understand the importance of immigration. My family has traditions and beliefs that they teach me and I‘ll teach my kids some day. And no one should be denied the opportunity my parents and I have to be a part of America.

我觉得人口迁移极其重要。作为意大利裔的美国人，我懂得移民的重要性。我的家庭把传统和信仰教给我，有朝一日我会教给我的孩子。我的父辈和我努力成为美国的一部分，这种机会任何人都不应失去。

We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study， but the methods of testing a person‘s knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It really is extraordinary that after all these years， educationists have still failed to device anything more efficient and reliable than examinations.

我们可能对学科的每个领域所取得的进步感到大为惊异，然而测试一个人的知识和能力的方法依然原始如初。确实是令人吃惊，这么多年以后，教育家们还没有找到比考试更为有效和可靠的手段。

For all the pious claim that examinations test what you know， it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory， or the knack of working rapidly under extreme pressure， but they can tell you nothing about a person‘s true ability and aptitude.

考试就是测验你知道什么，对于所有这些虔诚的说法，普遍认为往往适得其反。考试可能是检验记忆力，或者在极度紧张的情况下发现快速工作窍门的好方法。但是它不能告诉你一个人的真正能力和智能究竟怎样。

As anxiety-makers， examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success of failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. It doesn‘t matter that you weren’t feeling very well， or that your mother died. Little things like that don‘t count： the exam goes on. No one can give of his best when he is in mortal terror， or after a sleepless night， yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.

作为制造焦虑者，考试是最好的手段。这是因为它决定着很多事。它是一个人在社会中成功或失败的标志。在事关命运的一天里你的整个前途就被决定下来了。它不管你当时的心情很糟糕，或者你的母亲已去世。像那样的小事不足挂齿：考试依然进行。当身陷致命的恐惧中或经过一个无眠之夜后，没人能发挥出他的最佳水平，不过这正是考试制度期望他这样做的。

The moment a child begins school， he enters a world of vicious competition where success and failure are clearly defined and measured. Can we wonder at the increasing number of “drop-outs”： young people who are written off as utter failures

before they have even embarked on a career？ Can we be surprised at the suicide rate among students？

从孩子开始上学的那一刻起，他就走进了一个成功和失败界限分明和可以衡量的恶毒竞争之中。我们会对数目不断增加的“辍学者”——甚至在年轻人开始事业之前认为他已完全失败——感到诧异吗？面对学生的自杀率我们能感到吃惊吗？

A good education should， among other things， train you to think for yourself. The examination system does anything but that. What has to be learnt is rigidly laid down by a syllabus， so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely， but to restrict his reading； they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge， but induce cramming. 一种好的教育应当包括培养你独立的能力。而考试制度绝对没有这样的作用。必须学的东西被强硬地用课程大纲给制定出来，鼓励学生去死记。考试不能激励学生去广泛阅读，而是限制他阅读；考试不能使学生探索越来越多的知识，而是起到填鸭式的作用。

They lower the standards of teaching， for they deprive the teacher of all freedoms. Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects， they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated； they are the best trained in the technique of working under duress.

考试促使降低教学标准，因为它剥夺了老师的一切自由。对老师本人教学水平的评判通常就是看学生的考试成绩。老师们不去教授他们的课，而是简化教学，对学生进行他们嗤之以鼻的考试技巧培训。最成功的投考者不总是知识水平最高者；他们是高压之下掌握考试技巧最老练者。

The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous examiner. Examiners are only human. They get tired and hungry； they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark stacks of hastily scrawled scripts in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates. And their word carries weight. After a judge‘s decision you have the right of appeal， but not after an examiner’s.

众多因素所依赖的考试成绩只不过是某个匿名主考者的主观评价。主考官们都是人。他们会变累，会饥饿，还会出错。然而，他们不得不在有限的时间内为大队的匆匆草书的试卷判分。跟投考者一样，他们也在相同的压力之下工作，不过他们的话很有分量。在鉴定人鉴定之后，而不是主考官判卷后，你才有权提出查卷的申请。

There must surely be many simpler and more effective ways of assessing a person “s true abilities. Is it cynical to suggest that examinations are merely a profitable business for the institutions that run them？ This is what it boils down to in the last analysis. The best comment on the system is this illiterate message recently scrawled on a wall：”I were a teenage drop-out and now I are a teenage millionaire.

“评判一个人真实能力肯定有很多更简单和跟有效的方法。提出考试仅仅是经营考试机构获利的生意是否有点愤世嫉俗？这是最终分析得出的结论。对考试制度最好的评论是乱涂在墙上的这则没受过教育的一句话：”我曾是一个十几岁的辍学者，而现在我是一个十几岁的百万富翁。

2013汉译英 生活像一杯红酒，热爱生活的人会从中品出无穷的美妙。Life is like a cup of wine；people who love it discover inexhaustible wonders from it. 将它握在手中观察，它的暗红有血的感觉，那正是生命的痕迹。Hold in the hand and gaze at it，the dark red color is reminiscent of the blood，which is the impress of life.抿一口留在口中回味，它的甘甜有一丝苦涩，如人生一般复杂迷离。Take a sip of it and appreciate the taste，the bittersweet flavor is exactly the same with life，which is complicated and blurred. 喝一口下肚，余香润人心肺，让人终受益。Once the sip is swallowed，the lingering fragrance pleases the heart and refreshes the mind，leaving a person lifelong benefit. 红酒越陈越美味，生活越丰富越美好。There was a remarkable resemblance between life and wine：the taste becomes more delicious as the wine mellows，just as life gets better as it becomes more abundant. 当人生走向晚年，就如一瓶待开封的好酒，其色彩是沉静的，味道中充满慷慨于智慧。 When life comes to twilight years，it looks calm and tastes full of wisdom and generosity，just like a bottle of wine to be savored. 英译汉 联合国代表大会，中心政治论坛，由193个成员国组成，几乎包括世界上所有国家，其中三分之二的国家为发展中国家，占世界总人口的四分之三。通过决议非常困难，尤其是所有惯例决出的协议必须达成一致才能通过。结果就是，重要的协议总是被狭隘的特殊利益所挟持，并且大部分协议都只是用来使自己的利益最大化。但真正的问题是世界上主要国.是否愿意看到民主最大限度地开展。联合国安理会，负责和平和安全，处理最重要的政治问题。安理会只有15个成员国，所以能经常性地应付危机。它曾一度由于冷战对立而停摆，但已经重新获得了联合国宪章给予的权利。 2012汉译英 痛苦纠聚心中，眉心发烫发热，胸口郁闷难展，胃里一股气冲喉而上。院长说这孩子发育迟缓时，她更是心头无绪。她在孩子所待的房里来回踱步，这房里还有其他小孩。整个房间只有一扇窗，窗外树影婆娑。就让孩子留下来吧，这里有善心的神父和修女，这里将来会扩充为有医疗作用的看护中心，这是留住孩子最好的地方。这孩子是她的秘密，她将秘密留在这树林掩映的建筑里。 Tortured by the pains gathering in her heart, she felt something was burning between her eyebrows. Her chest was brimmed with depression which was likely to run out of her throat at any moment. She could not think clearly any longer when the headmaster told her that the child suffered from developmental retardation. She strode up and down in the room where her child stayed with other pals. There was only one window in the room, out of which some shady trees were whispering. ―Just leave it here‖, she told herself, ―This is the best choice by far, for there are kind priests and nuns in this place which may also be renovated into a Medicare center‖. The chi ld was her secret which would be kept in the buildings behind the woods. 英译汉But such policies seem instead to have created the conditions for even more campus violence. Some college students who previously drank in bars and lounges under the watchful supervision of bouncers(夜总会，就把等保安人员)（not to mention owners eager to keep their liquor licenses）now retreat to the sanctuary of their fraternity houses and apartments, where they no longer control their behavior their drinking. The boomerang effect has also played a role in attempts to reduce the availability of illicit drugs. During recent years, the federal government has been quite successful in reducing the supply of street drugs. As fields are burned and contraband(违禁品) confiscated, the price of street drugs has skyrocketed to a point where cheap alternatives have begun to compete in the marketplace. Unfortunately, the cheap alternatives are even more harmful than the illicit drugs they replace. 然而上述政策反而引发了更多的校园暴力。一些大学生先前在夜总会的酒吧买醉，处于保安人员严密的监控之下(酒吧老板们为了保住自己卖酒的牌照也不会允许过激的事情发生)。现在，大学生们躲到他们互助会会所和公寓中酗酒,对自己饮酒的 数量或行为都不再控制。政府在打击非法毒品方面采取的措施同样适得其反。近年来,联邦政府已经有效地抑制了街头毒品买卖。警方捣毁了很多毒品种植地，没收了违禁品，导致毒品的价格暴涨，那些便宜的替代品因此也有了竞争力。糟糕的是，那些便宜的替换品带来的危害甚至比他们所替代的毒品更大。 2011：汉译英原文现代社会无论价值观的持有还是生活方式的选择都充满了矛盾。而最让现代人感到尴尬的是，面对重重矛

历年专八翻译真题

历年专八英译汉翻译真题 1995 I, by comparison, living in my overpriced city apartment, walking to work past putrid sacks of street garbage, paying usurious taxes to local and state governments I generally abhor, I am rated middle class. This causes me to wonder, do the measurement make sense? Are we measuring only that which is easily measured--- the numbers on the money chart --- and ignoring values more central to the good life? For my sons there is of course the rural bounty of fresh-grown vegetables, line-caught fish and the shared riches of neighbours’ orchards and gardens. There is the unpaid baby-sitter for whose children my daughter-in-law baby-sits in return, and neighbours who barter their skills and labour. But more than that, how do you measure serenity? Sense if self? I don’t want to idealize life in small places. There are times when the outside world intrudes brutally, as when the cost of gasoline goes up or developers cast their eyes on untouched farmland. There are cruelties, there is intolerance, there are all the many vices and meannesses in small places that exist in large cities. Furthermore, it is harder to ignore them when they cannot be banished psychologically to another part of town or excused as the whims of alien groups --- when they have to be acknowledged as “part of us.” Nor do I want to belittle the opportunities for small decencies in cities --- the eruptions of one-stranger-to-another caring that always surprise and delight. But these are,sadly,more exceptions than rules and are often overwhelmed by the awful corruptions and dangers that surround us. 对我的几个儿子来说，乡村当然有充足的新鲜蔬菜，垂钓来的鱼，邻里菜园和果园里可供分享的丰盛瓜果。乡下有不用付报酬便可请来照看孩子的邻居，作为回报，我儿媳也帮着照看其孩子。乡邻之间互相交换技能和劳动。但比之更重要的是，你如何来衡量那静谧与安详？如何来衡量自我价值呢？ 我无意将小地方的生活理想化。因为有时外面的世界会无情地侵入：比如汽油价格上涨，开发商把眼睛盯住尚未开发的农田；那里充斥着凶残和偏狭，大城市的种种卑劣行径，小地方也一应俱全。不仅如此，当人们无法自欺欺人地硬把那些丑恶现象想象成只是小地方的一小部分或将它们解释为异乡人的为所欲为，而又不得不承认这一切是我们的一部分时，就更难以忽视它们。 1996 It should have been easy. They were battle-tested veterans with long ties to Reagan and even longer ties to the Republican party, men who understood presidential politics as well as any in the country. The backdrop of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with: America was at peace, and the nation’s economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession. Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed, with plenty of money for a top-flight staff, travel, and television commercials. And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills. Reagan has succeed more than any president since John F. Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America – a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller federal government. 这应该不是件难事。这都是些跟着里根多年、久经沙场的老将，他们跟共和党则有更深厚的渊源，是这个国家里最熟悉总统政治的人。竞选的背景也很有利，也很多好消息可供炒作。例如，美国上下一片和平，美国经济这一竞选要素也在经过一段时间的衰退之后开始强劲反弹。此外，这次竞选本身得到了慷慨资助，因此有充裕的资用于组织一流的竞选班子、支付巡回演讲和电视广告的费用。而最重要的一点是，他们的候选人是罗纳德·里根，他可是位极具个人魅力和沟通技巧的总统。自约翰·F·肯尼迪总统以来，里根是最成功地勾勒出美国蓝图的总统：一个军事力量复兴、富有个人进取心、联邦政府得以精简的国家。

Beijing has extended its ban on operating outdoor barbecues from the city center outward to selected suburbs, according to municipal authorities. A year ago, Beijing banned restaurants from operating outdoor barbecues within the fourth ring road area. And now, the ban has extended to several suburbs, including Mentougou, Fangs- han, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu and Miyun. The barbecue ban was announced to reduce Beijing' s air pollution, as barbecue has long been accused as one of the major contributors to haze. According to Wang Yuesi, a researcher from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Chinese Academy of Sciences, barbecuing can generate a lot of PM 2.5, harmful airborne particles measur- ing less than 2.5 microns in diameter. "Considering the seriousness of the air pollution in Beijing, we have to ban everything that may do harm to our environment!" Wang said. The issue has divided Chinese netizens, as half agreed with the policy while the other half called this grand plan nothing but "empty talk. "

英语专业八级考试翻译原题及参考谜底 令狐采学 CE:暮色中，河湾里落满云霞，与天际的颜色混合一起，分不清哪是流云哪是水湾。也就在这一幅绚烂的图画旁边，在河湾之畔，一群羊正在垂头觅食。它们几乎没有一个顾得上抬起头来，看一眼这美丽的黄昏。也许它们要抓紧时间，在即将回家的最后一刻再次咀嚼。这是黄河滩上的一幕。牧羊人不见了，他不知在何处歇息。只有这些美生灵自由自在地享受着这个黄昏。这儿水草肥美，让它们长得肥滚滚的，像些胖娃娃。如果走近了，会发明它们那可爱的神情，洁白的牙齿，那丰富而纯真的脸色。如果稍稍长久一点打量这张张面庞，还会生出无限的怜悯。 Beside this picture with profusions of colors, a group of sheep are lowing their heads, eating by the river bank. Hardly none of them would spare some time to raise their eyes to have a glance at the beautiful dusk. They are, perhaps, taking use of every minute to enjoy their last chew before being driven home. This is a picture of the Yellow River bank, in which the shepherd disappears, and no one knows where he is resting himself. Only the sheep, however, as free creatures, are joyfully appreciating the dusk. The exuberant water plants have nutrited the sheep, making them grow as fat as balls.
