1. 英译汉：Beaverton: Oregon’s Most Diverse City

Stroll through the farmers’ market and you will hear a plethora（过多）of languages and see a rainbow of faces. Drive down Canyon Road and stop for halal meat or Filipino pork belly at adjacent markets. Along the highway, browse the aisles of a giant Asian supermarket stocking fresh napa cabbage and mizuna or fresh kimchi. Head toward downtown and you’ll see loncheras — taco trucks — on street corners and hear Spanish banda music. On the city’s northern edge, you can sample Indian chat.

漫步农贸市场，你会听到各种声音，看到形象色色的面孔。驾车行驶在卡农大街上，沿路停下来买些清真肉制品或在邻近的市场上买些菲律宾猪肚。沿着高速公路行驶，逛逛巨大的亚裔超市，放眼望去，那些新鲜的小白菜，日本沙拉菜还有朝鲜的新鲜泡菜陈列铺展在你的眼前。向市中心开去，你能在街角看到卖墨西哥煎玉米卷的塔克卡车，还能听到西班牙班达乐队的音乐。在城市北部边缘，你能品尝到印度菜。

Welcome to Beaverton, a Portland suburb that is home to Oregon’s fastest growing immigrant population. Once a rural community, Beaverton, population 87,000, is now the sixth largest city in Oregon —with immigration rates higher than those of Portland, Ore gon’s largest

city.

欢迎来到波特兰市郊的比弗顿！这里有着俄勒冈州增长最快的移民群体。比弗顿镇曾经是一个有87，000人口的农业区，现在却成为俄勒冈州第六大城市——移民率高于勒冈州最大的城市波特兰市。

Best known as the world headquarters for athletic shoe company Nike, Beaverton has changed dramatically over the past 40 years. Settled by immigrants from northern Europe in the 19th century, today it is a place where 80 languages from Albanian to Urdu are spoken in the public schools and about 30 percent of students speak a language besides English, according to English as a Second Language program director Wei Wei Lou.

比弗顿因其作为世界耐克运动鞋公司的总部而广为人知，但是在过去40年当中却发生了巨大的变化。据“英语作为第二语言项目”的主管卢微微所说，19世纪，来自北欧的移民在此定居，今天此地的公立学校操从阿尔巴利亚语到乌尔都语的80多种语言，现在有30%的学生除了英语之外，都会说另一种语言。

Beaverton’s wave of new residents began arriving in the 1960s, with Koreans and Tejanos (Texans of Mexican origin), who were the first permanent Latinos. In 1960, Beaverton’s population of Latinos and Asians was less than 0.3 percent. By 2000, Beaverton had proportionately

more Asian and Hispanic residents than the Portland metro area. Today, Asians comprise 10 percent and Hispanics 11 percent of Beaverton’s population.

1960年，比弗顿的拉美裔和亚裔人口不到0.3%。到2000年，比弗顿的亚裔和拉美裔人口比例超过波特兰都市区。比弗顿在1960年代迎来第一波新居民潮，先是韩国人和提加洛人（原籍墨西哥的德克萨斯人）——后者是第一批拉美裔永久居民。在1960年，比弗顿的拉美裔和亚裔人口不到0.3%。到2000年，比弗顿的亚裔和拉美裔人口比例超过波特兰都市区。今天，亚裔占比弗顿人口的10%，拉美裔占11%。

Mayor Denny Doyle says that many in Beaverton view the immigrants who are rapidly reshaping Beaverton as a source of enrichment. “Citizens here especially in the arts and culture community think it’s fantastic that we have all these different possibilities here,” he says.

市长丹尼·道尔说，在比弗顿的许多人看来，迅速重塑比弗顿的移民让生活变得丰富。他说：“这里的市民，特别艺术和文化圈人士，认为此地拥有种种不同的可能性，实在非常美妙。”

Gloria Vargas, 50, a Salvadoran immigrant, owns a popular small restaurant, Gloria’s Secret Café, in downtown Beaverton. “I love Beave rton,” she says. “I feel like I belong here.” Her mother moved her to Los Angeles as a teenager in 1973, and she moved Oregon in 1979. She landed a coveted vendor spot in the Beaverton Farmers Market in 1999. Now in addition to running her restaurant, she has one of the most popular stalls there, selling up to 200 Salvadoran tamales — wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks —each Saturday. “Once they buy my food, they always come back for more,” she says.

50岁的葛络瑞娅.瓦格斯是个萨尔多瓦移民，在比弗顿市中心拥有一个很有名气的小饭店，叫葛络瑞娅神秘餐馆。“我喜欢比弗顿市，”她说。“我感觉自己就属于这里”。“在1973年她十几岁的时候，她的妈妈带她移居到洛杉矶。1979年，又搬到了俄勒冈州。1999年，在比弗顿农贸市场，它拥有了一块自己梦寐以求的摊位。现在除了经营她的餐馆外，她还在那有一个最受欢迎的小摊，每周六都会卖出多达200张的萨尔多瓦玉米粉蒸肉，都是用香蕉叶而不是玉米皮包装好了的。”一旦他们买我的食物，他们通常都会回，“她说。

“It’s pretty relaxed here,” says Taj Suleyman, 28, born and raised in Lebanon, and recently transplanted to Beaverton to start a job working with immigrants from many countries. Half Middle Eastern and half African, Suleyman says he was attracted to Beaverton specifically

because of its diversity. He serves on a city-sponsored Diversity Task Force set up by Mayor Doyle.

28岁的泰姬苏莱曼，在黎巴嫩出生长大，只是最近刚迁居到比弗顿和来自许多国家的移民一起工作。他说，“这里的生活很轻松的”。一半中东血统，一半非洲血统，苏莱曼说,比弗顿特别吸引他的地方就在于它的多元性。他在道尔市长设立由市府赞助的多元特别工作组供职。

Mohammed Haque, originally from Bangladesh, finds Beaverton very welcoming. His daughter, he boasts, was even elected her high school’s homecoming queen.

来自于孟加拉国的穆罕默德哈克，发现比佛顿是个非常热情的小镇。他自豪地说，他的女儿甚至当选为所就读高中的返校节皇后。

South Asians such as Haque have transformed Bethany, a neighborhood north of Beaverton. It is dense with immigrants from Gujarat, a state in India and primary source for the first wave of Beaverton’s South Asian immigrants.

像哈克这样的南亚人已经改变了比佛顿北边的贝瑟尼社区的面貌。大量来自印度古吉拉特市的移民聚居此地, 成为第一波来到比佛顿的南亚移民。

The first wave of South Asian immigrants to Beaverton, mostly Gujaratis from India, arrived in the 1960s and 1970s, when the motel and hotel industry was booming. Many bought small hotels and originally settled in Portland, and then relocated to Beaverton for better schools and bigger yards. The second wave of South Asians arrived during the high-tech boom of the 1980s, when the software industry, and Intel and Tektronix, really took off.

1960s和1970s，汽车旅馆和酒店产业繁荣发展，于是大部分来自印度古吉拉特市的人们来到比弗顿市，形成第一次南亚移民热潮。许多人买了小酒店，最初定居在波特兰市, 随后为了寻求更好的教育和更大的院子，搬到了比佛顿市。在1980s，高科技得到蓬勃发展，软件行业，互联网还有美国泰克取得很大成功，因此此时形成了第二次南亚移民浪潮。

Many of Beaverton’s Asians converge at Uwajimaya, a 30,000-square-foot supermarket near central Beaverton. Bernie Capell, former special events coordinator at Uwajimaya, says that many come to shop for fresh produce every day. But the biggest group of shoppers at Uwajimaya, she adds, are Caucasians.

市中心附近一家占地30000平方英尺的超市宇和岛屋成为比弗顿亚裔居民的汇聚地。曾任宇和岛屋特别活动协调人的伯尼·卡佩尔说，

每天都有许多人来购买新鲜农产品。不过她说，宇和岛屋最大的购物群体是高加索人。

Beaverton’s Asian population boasts a sizable number of Koreans, who began to arrive in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

According to Ted Chung, a native of Korea and Beaverton resident since 1978, three things stand out about his fellow Korean immigrants. Upon moving to Beaverton, they join a Christian church —often Methodist or Presbyterian —as a gathering place; they push their children to excel in school; and they shun the spotlight.

弗顿的亚裔人口当中有相当数量的韩国人，他们在1960年代后期和1970年代早期开始搬到这里。

泰德涌,是一个土生土长的韩国人，1978年以后成为比弗顿的常住居民，据他所说，在他的韩国同胞移民身上有三个突出特征。即，刚来到比弗顿市，他们会加入基督教堂——通常卫理公会或者长老会——把此地作为聚会场所;他们把自己的孩子去好学校;他们行事低调。

Chung says he and his fellow Korean émigrés work hard as small businessmen —owning groceries, dry cleaners, laundromats, delis, and sushi shops — and are frugal so they can send their children to a leading university.

泰德涌说他和其他韩国移民作为小企业主辛勤工作，经营自己的杂货店，干洗店，自助洗衣店，熟食店，熟食店，并且为能供孩子上一流大学而生活节俭。

Most recently, immigrants from Central and South America, as well as refugees from Iraq and Somalia, have joined the Beaverton community.

最近，中南美洲移民还有来自伊拉克和索马里的难民，都已经加入了比弗顿社区。

Many Beaverton organizations help immigrants.

许多比弗顿的机构组织都帮助移民。

The Beaverton Resource Center helps all immigrants with health and literacy services. The Somali Family Education Center helps Somalis and other African refugees to get settled. And one Beaverton elementary school even came up with the idea of a “sew in”— parents of students sewing together — to welcome Somali Bantu parents and bridge major cultural differences.

比佛顿资源中心给所有移民提供健康与文化服务。索马里家庭教育中心帮助索马里和其他非洲难民安家落户。比佛顿的一所小学甚至想出了“缝合”的想法——家长们聚集在一起——欢迎索马里班图

人的父母，弥合巨大的文化差异。

Historically white churches, such as Beaverton First United Methodist Church, offer immigration ministries. And Beaverton churches of all denominations host Korean- or Spanish-language services.

历史上，白人教堂,譬如比弗顿的第一联合卫理公会教堂,提供移民牧师服务。比佛顿教堂所有教派都提供韩语或西班牙语服务。

Beaverton’s Mayor Doyle wants refugee and immigrant leaders to participate in the town’s decision-making. He set up a Diversity Task Force whose mission i s “to build inclusive and equitable communities in the City of Beaverton.” The task force is working to create a multicultural community center for Beavertonians of all backgrounds.

比佛顿市长道尔希望难民和移民领袖参与城镇的决策。他设立了多元特别工作组，其使命就是“在比弗顿建立一个兼收并蓄，包容公正的社区。”特别工作组正努力打造面向所有背景的比弗顿人的跨文化社区中心。

The resources and warm welcome that Beaverton gives immigrants are reciprocated in the affection that many express for their new home.

比弗顿为移民提供的资源和热情欢迎与众多市民对自己新家表露的感情交相辉映。

Kaltun Caynan, 40, a Somali woman who came to Beaverton in 2001 fleeing civil war, is an outreach coordinator for the Somali Family Education Center. “I like it so much,” she said, cheerfully. “Nobody discriminate[s against] me, everybody smiling at me.”

卡尔顿·凯南是一个40岁的索马里妇女，在2001年为逃离内战,来到比佛顿，是索马里家庭教育中心外联协调员。“我喜欢它,”她兴高采烈地说道。“没有人歧视我，大家都微笑待我。”

翻译三级笔译实务模拟27 Section Ⅰ English Chinese Translation 1、As the importance of recycling becomes more apparent, questions about it linger. Is it worth the effort? How does it work? Is recycling waste just going into a landfill in China? Here are some answers. It is an awful lot of rubbish. Since 1960 the amount of municipal waste being collected in America has nearly tripled, reaching 245m tonnes in 2005. According to European Union statistics, the amount of municipal waste produced in western Europe increased by 23% between 1995 and 2003, to reach 577kg per person. (So much for the plan to reduce waste per person to 300kg by 2000.) As the volume of waste has increased, so have recycling efforts. In 1980 America recycled only 9.6% of its municipal rubbish ; today the rate stands at 32%. A similar trend can be seen in Europe, where some countries, such as Austria and the Netherlands, now recycle 60% or more of their municipal waste. Britain's recycling rate, at 27%, is low, but it is improving fast, having nearly doubled in the past three years. Even so, when a city introduces a kerbside recycling programme, the sight of all those recycling lorries trundling around can raise doubts about whether the collection and transportation of waste materials requires more energy than it saves. "We are constantly being asked: Is recycling worth doing on environmental grounds?" says Julian Parfitt, principal analyst at Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), a non-profit British company that encourages recycling and develops markets for recycled materials. Studies that look at the entire life cycle of a particular material can shed light on this question in a particular case, but WRAP decided to take a broader look. It asked the Technical University of Denmark and the Danish Topic Centre on Waste to conduct a review of 55 life-cycle analyses, all of which were selected because of their rigorous methodology. The researchers then looked at more than 200 scenarios, comparing the impact of recycling with that of burying or burning particular types of waste material. They found that in 83% of all scenarios that included recycling, it was indeed better for the environment. Based on this study, WRAP calculated that Britain's recycling efforts reduce its carbon-dioxide emissions by 10m-15m tonnes per year. That is equivalent to a 10% reduction in Britain's annual carbon-dioxide emissions from transport, or roughly equivalent to taking 3.5m cars off the roads. Similarly, America's Environmental Protection Agency estimates that recycling reduced the country's

【原文】 之所以把论坛取名为“蓝厅论坛”，是因为蓝色让人联想到大海和天空，既包容万象又蕴含热情与活力，契合了和谐共存、开放共赢的理念。它寓意着我们将以海纳百川的包容精神，汲取各界智慧，深化对话交流;以纵论天下的开阔视野，把握时代脉搏，共谋发展大计。 对于21世纪的亚太，人们曾经有不同的看法。有人认为亚太人文荟萃，潜力巨大，前景光明。也有人认为亚太问题丛生，麻烦不断，不容乐观。如今，当21世纪第一个10年即将结束的时候，回顾亚太发展进程，我们不难发现，尽管亚太地区由于历史和现实的原因，还存在这样那样的问题和挑战，但谋和平、维稳定、求合作、促发展是人心所向、大势所趋，亚太正在成为一个充满活力、生机与希望的地区。 【参考译文】 Lanting, as you may know, means the blue hall in Chinese. This Forum is called Lanting Forum because people naturally associate the blue color with the sea and the sky. It symbolizes inclusiveness, passion and vitality, and it accords to the philosophy of harmonious coexistence, openness and win-win progress. It shows that we will adopt an inclusive approach, pool together the wisdom of various sectors and deepen dialogue and exchanges. It also means that we will take a global perspective, keep pace with the times and work together for development. There were different views about the Asia Pacific in the 21st century. Some believed that rich human resources and cultural diversity held out great potential and bright prospects for the Asia-Pacific region, while others thought this region was beset with problems and troubles and could hardly offer any reason for optimism. Now the first decade of the 21st century is coming to an end. When we look back on the journey that the region has travelled, I believe we can come to the following conclusions: Despite the various problems and challenges due to reasons both of the past and present, peace, stability, cooperation and development represent the shared aspiration of the people and the trend of the times. What has happened shows that the Asia Pacific is transforming into a dynamic, vibrant and promising region. 原文： 上海是中外闻名的旅游大都市。在这座中西文化交融的城市里，随处可见各种西式建筑和老式石库门，以及国际水准的豪华宾馆。此外，宏伟壮丽的外滩，装饰华丽的商厦，气势恢宏的博物馆等都是引人入胜的景观。上海白天热闹繁华，夜晚灯红酒绿，游客尽可充分享受丰富多彩的都市生活。

2013年12月至2015年12月英语六级真题翻译汇总

2013年12月英语六级翻译真题 试卷一：闻名于世的丝绸之路是一系列连接东西方的路线。丝绸之路延伸6,000多公里。得名于古代中国的丝绸贸易。丝绸之路上的贸易在中国、南亚、欧洲和中东文明发展中发挥了重要作用。正是通过丝绸之路，中国的造纸、火药、指南针、印刷等四大发明才被引介到世界各地。同样，中国的丝绸、茶叶和瓷器（porcelain）也传遍全球。物质文化的交流是双向的。欧洲也通过丝绸之路出口各种商品和植物，满足中国市场的需要。 参考译文：The world-renowned Silk Road is a series of routes connecting the East and the West. It extended more than 6,000 kilometers. The Silk Road was named after ancient China’s silk trade which played an important role in the civilization development of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It was through the Silk Road that papermaking, gunpowder, compass and printing of the four great inventions of ancient China were introduced around the world. Similarly, Chinese silk, tea and porcelain spread all over the world. Europe also exported various goods and plants through the Silk Road to meet the needs of the Chinese market. 试卷二：中国园林是经过三千多年演变而成的独具一格的园林景观。它既包括为皇室成员享乐而建造的大型花园，也包括学者、商人和卸任的政府官员为摆脱嘈杂的外部世界而建造的私家花园。这些花园构成了一种意在表达人与自然之间应有的和谐关系的微缩景观。典型的中国园林四周有围墙，园内有池塘、假山、树木、花草以及各种各样由蜿蜒的小路和走廊连接的建筑。漫步在花园中，人们可以看到一系列精心设计的景观犹如山水画卷一般展现在面前。 参考译文：After 3,000 years of evolvement, Chinese gardens have become a unique landscape. This includes both large gardens built as entertainment venues for royal family, and private gardens built as secluded retreats for scholars, merchants and retired government officials. These gardens have constituted a miniature that is designed in praise of the harmony between man and nature. A typical Chinese garden is surrounded by walls and consists of various buildings linked by winding trails and corridors, with ponds, rockeries, trees, and flowers scattered in it. Wandering in such a undefined well-designed garden, people may feel that they are walking in a landscape painting. 试卷三：中国人自古以来就在中秋时节庆祝丰收，这与北美地区庆祝感恩节的习俗十分相似，过中秋节的习俗与唐代早期在中国各地开始流行，中秋节在农历八月十五，是人们拜月的节日，这天夜晚皓月当空，人们合家团聚，共赏明月。2006年，中秋节被列为中国的文化遗产，2008年又被定为公共假日，月饼被视为中秋节不可或缺的美食，人们将月饼作为礼物馈赠亲友或在家庭聚会上享用。传统的月饼上带有“寿”(longevity)、“福”或“和”等字样。 参考译文：Since ancient times, the Chinese people usually celebrate harvest in the Mid-Autumn, which is similar to the custom of celebrating Thanksgiving in the North America. The tradition of celebrating Mid-Autumn festival became popular throughout China in the early Tang dynasty. The lunar August 15 is a day for people

2016 年5 月英语三级笔译实务真题 英译汉 Old people in Widou Thiengoly say they can remember when there were so many trees that you couldn’t see the sky. Now, miles of reddish-brown sand surround this village in northwestern Senegal, dotted with occasional bushes and trees. Dried animal dung is scattered everywhere, but hardly any dried grass is. 维多西恩格里（Widou Thiengoly）的老人们都说，当年这里树木繁盛，林荫蔽日。而如今，这座位于塞内加尔西北部的村落四周绵延数英里都是红褐色的沙土，灌木丛和大树零星点缀其间。动物干粪在这里随处可见，但是干草却遍地难寻。 Overgrazing and climate change are the major causes of the Sahara’s advance, said Gilles Boetsch, an anthropologist who directs a team of French scientists working with Senegalese researchers in the region.“The local Peul people are herders, often nomadic. But the pressure of the herds on the land has become too great,” Mr. Boetsch said in an interview. “The vegetation can’t regenerate itself.” 吉尔?波特舍（Gilles Boetsch）是一位人类学家，现正带领一支法国科研团队与塞内加尔的研究人员在当地联合开展研究。他说过度放牧和气候变化是撒哈拉沙漠面积不断扩大的主要原因。波特舍先生在接受采访时说：“当地的颇耳（Peul）族人都是牧民，很多还是游牧民，但是过度放牧已令这片土地不堪重负，植被无法自然恢复。” Since 2008, however, Senegal has been fighting back against the encroaching desert. Each year it has planted some two million seedling trees along a 545-kilometer, or 340-mile, ribbon of land that is the country’s segment of a major pan-African regeneration project, the Great Green Wall. First proposed in 2005, the program links Senegal and 10 other Saharan states in an alliance to plant a 15 kilometer-wide, 7,100-kilometer-long green belt to fend off the desert. While many countries have still to start on their sections of the barrier, Senegal has taken the lead,

翻译三级笔译实务-1 (总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟) 一、{{B}}Section Ⅰ English Chinese Translation{{/B}}(总题数：1，分数：60.00) 1.A few weeks back, I asked a 14-year-old friend how she was coping with school. Referring to stress, she heaved a big sigh and said: "Aiyah, anything bad that can happen has already happened." Her friends nearby then started pouring out their woes about which subjects they found hard, and so on. Pessimism again, in these all-too-familiar remarks about Singapore's education system, widely regarded as too results-oriented, and I wonder why I even bothered to ask. The school system of reaching for A's underlies the country's culture, which emphasizes the chase for economic excellence where wealth and status are must-haves. Such a culture is hard to change. So when I read of how the new Remaking Singapore Committee had set one of its goals as challenging the traditional roads to success, encouraging Singaporeans to realize alternative careers in the arts, sports, research or as entrepreneurs, I had my doubts about its success in this area, if not coupled with help from parents themselves. The new Remaking Singapore Committee is a brainchild of the Singaporean Prime Minister, formed to make Singaporeans look beyond the five C's: cash, condos, clubs, credit cards and cars, to help prepare the nation for the future. It is good that the government wants to do something about the country's preoccupation with material success. But it will be a losing battle if the family unit itself is not involved because I believe the committee's success is rooted in a revamp of an entire culture built from 37 years of independence. This makeover has to start with the most basic societal unit—the family. Parents should not drown their children in mantras of I-want-hundred-marks. Tuition lessons are not the be-all and end-all of life. And a score of 70 for a Chinese paper is definitely not the end of life. If ever I become a parent, I will bring my children camping. I will show them that cooking food in a mess tin over a campfire is fun. I will teach them that there is nothing dirty about lying on a sleeping bag over grass. In fact, it is educational because Orion is up there in the night sky with all the other bright stars whose shapes and patterns tell something more than a myth. For instance, they give directions to the lost traveler, I will say. And who knows, my child may become an astronomer years down the road.

This way, when their children aspire to be the next Joscelin Yeo, they won't feel like they are fighting a losing battle against a society that holds doctors and lawyers in awe. However, the culture that babysits economic excellence is deeply ingrained and so are the mindsets of many parents. But parents can take the cue from the new Remaking Singapore Committee and be aware of giving their children the right kind of education. It is now wait-and-see if, say, 10 years down the road, more would choose alternative careers.
