You?ve won nothing yet:
Campo laughs off England World Cup hopes
你还没赢过什么：
坎普取笑英格兰的世界杯之梦
David Campese has told the England rugby team they must win the World Cup before he rates them the best in the business.
大卫·坎皮斯对英格兰橄榄球队说，如果他们不赢得世界杯，他绝不会将他们列入优秀球队之流。
The serial Pom-basher was in London last night to have his “outstanding achievement” in Rugby Union honored by the British Parliament.
电视节目《狼牙棒》播出了他昨晚在伦敦英式橄榄球联盟接受英国议会颁予“突出贡献奖”的一幕。
He admitted he felt very strange to be lauded by a country whose rugby team he has spent a lifetime rubbishing.
他表示感到莫名其妙，因为他耗尽了所有的精力也没把他的烂泥橄榄球队扶上墙还居然能获得一个国家的赞扬。
But he insisted nothing will change until England prove themselves on the global stage.
虽然获得了赞誉，但他仍然坚持除非英格兰队能赢得奖项向全世界证明自己的实力，不然他是不会改变他的看法。
“If England win the World Cup they will deserve it,” he said.
他说：“如果英格兰队能够赢得世界杯，他们才算名副其实。”
“I?m not going to say this team are not world champions when they are. I?m not going to be silly about it.”
“当这支球队成为世界冠军的时候，我不会再说他们没有实力。我还不至于那么傻。”
“But it does make me laugh that you guys beat New Zealand and all of a sudden you are favorites for the World Cup, which is a totally different tournament. Until you actually win something you cannot say you are the best.”“但你们这些小伙子真的很好笑，你们打赢了新西兰，然后就突然以为能够打赢世界杯了，可这完全就是两个不一样的比赛。只有真的赢得奖项你才能说你们是第一。”
“I watched England against France at Twickenham last week and for the first 20 minutes they didn?t even look like a rugby side. They couldn?t even break the French …B? line.”
“我上星期看了英格兰和法国在特威肯汗的比赛，在比赛的前20分钟，英格兰
队的表现看起来简直就好像不是在打橄榄球赛。他们甚至还打不过法国的二流球队。”
“England beat New Zealand in awful conditions in June, but that was New Zealand?s first game of the year.”
“虽然英格兰队6月的时候在不利的条件下打败了新西兰队，但是那只是新西兰队赛季的首赛。”
“And while they beat Australia well, if the teams meet again in the World Cup and Australia play to their potential I would expect us to win.”
“后来他们很顺利地打败了澳大利亚队，如果两队再次在世界杯相遇而澳大利亚队又倾尽全力，我很难想象我们还能赢。”
This is classic Campese, but he is not about to apologize.
坎皮斯说话就是如此经典，但是他也不觉得过分，没觉得需要道歉。
“People have to realize I have played the game of rugby and I do know what I?m talking about, even if you don?t agree with what I say,”he said. He concedes that England are genuine contenders – hardly an earth shattering revelation given that they are rugby?s top-ranked side and reigning Grand Slam champions.
他说：“大家要知道我是打过橄榄球比赛的，我很清楚我在说什么，即使你们不一定认同我说的话。”他承认英格兰队是有力竞争者——这点毫无疑问，因为他们问鼎了橄榄球世界第一的宝座和卫冕了大满贯的冠军。
But it still ranks as probably the biggest compliment he has paid the Red Rose Brigade since the World Cup was devised in 1987.
这算是自1987年世界杯成立他给予红玫瑰队赞扬后最高的评价了。
“With the population of England and the amount of money that is put into rugby here, you guys should win the Six Nations every year without anybody coming near,” he said.
他说：“以英格兰对橄榄球投入的人力财力，你们就应该每年都赢得六国锦标赛，让其他队伍无法觊觎。”
“Yes, the International Board ratings make England the best in the world. But a month before the cricket World Cup South Africa were told they were the best and they didn?t even make the top six.”
“没错，在国际评级中英格兰队排名第一。但在南非板球世界杯之前的一个月，英格兰队也是被告知是世界第一，但事实是他们连前六也没挤进。”
Then there are the high temperatures England will encounter in Oz in October and November. “I t?s a different heat to what they will be used to,” said Campo. “When an Englishman comes to Australia within 20 minutes you can tell that
he?s English because he?s going pink.”
在10月和11月英格兰队还会在奥兹遇上高温天气。坎普说：“这和他们平常遇到的高温天气很不一样。”“当一个英国人来到澳大利亚，20分钟之内你就能判断出他是英国人了，因为他会热得脸红红的。”

2017考研英语翻译模拟练习题(2)
凯程考研集训营，为学生引路，为学员服务！ 第 1 页 共 1 页 2017考研英语翻译模拟练习题（2） There is no question that science-fiction writers have become more ambitious, stylistically and thematically, in recent years. (1) (But this may have less to do with the luring call of academic surroundings than with changing market conditions —a factor that academic critics rarely take into account.) Robert Silverberg, a former president of The Science Fiction Writers of America, is one of the most prolific professionals in a field dominated by people who actually write for a living. (Unlike mystery or Western writers, most science-fiction writers cannot expect to cash in on fat movie sales or TV tie-ins.) (2) (Still in his late thirties, Silverberg has published more than a hundred books, and he is disarmingly frank about the relationship between the quality of genuine prose and the quality of available outlet. )By his own account, he was “an annoyingly verbal young man ” from Brooklyn who picked up his first science-fiction book at the age of ten, started writing seriously at the age of thirteen, and at seventeen nearly gave up in despair over his inability to break into the pulp magazines. (3)( At his parents ’ urging, he enrolled in Columbia University, so that, if worst came to worst, he could always go to the School of Journalism and “get a nice steady job somewhere ”.) During his sophomore year, he sold his first science-fiction story to a Scottish magazine named Nebula. By the end of his junior year, he had sold a novel and twenty more stories. (4) (By the end of his senior year, he was earning two hundred dollars a week writing science fiction, and his parents were reconciled to his pursuit of the literary life. )“I became very cynical very quickly,” he says. First I couldn ’t sell anything, then I could sell everything. The market played to my worst characteristics. An editor of a schlock magazine would call up to tell me he had a ten-thousand-word hole to fill in his next issue. I ’d fill it overnight for a hundred and fifty dollars. I found that rewriting made no difference. (5)( I knew I could not possibly write the kinds of things I admired as a reader —Joyce, Kafka, Mann —so I detached myself from my work.) I was a phenomenon among my friends in college, a published, selling author. But they always asked, “When are you going to do something serious?” —meaning something that wasn ’t science fiction —and I kept telling them, “ When I ’m financially secure.” 答案 1.但是这一点与其说是与学术环境具有诱惑力的召唤有关，还不如说是与变化的市场状况有关——一这是一个学术评论家很少考虑的因素。 2.还不到四十岁，西尔弗伯格就已出版了一百多本书籍，而他对真正散文的质量与应时之作的质量之间的关系十分坦诚，毫无掩饰。 3.在他双亲的敦促下，他报考了哥伦比亚大学，所以即便最糟他也能进入新闻学校，“将来总可以有一份稳定的好工作。” 4.到大四结束的时候，他每星期写科幻小说已经可以赚两百美元了，而他的双亲也接受了他对于文学生涯的追求。 5.我知道我写不出作为读者的我所喜欢的东西，就像乔伊斯、卡夫卡、曼恩的作品，所以我不再那么关注我所写的东西。 总体分析 本文介绍了科幻小说家罗伯特·西尔弗伯格。文章先指出科幻小说的繁荣与市场需求关系紧密，接着通过介绍多产的科幻小说家西尔弗伯格的创作经历予以说明。 本文考查的知识点：后置定语、插入语、比较结构、同位语、上下文中词义的选择，等。

When it was Xiangyun’s turn to compose a verse amid a drinking game，she made fun of the maids by saying， holding a duck head in hand，“This ya tou （referring to the duck head in hand） is not that ya tou （referring to the maids around， as both are homophones in Chinese）， for this ya tou has applied no hair oil….” Everybody roared with laughter. Some maids protested， laughing，“You made fun of us， so you have to drink another cup. Let’s pour a full cup her….”As the party went on drinkers’ games continued with ceaseless laughter and people suddenly noticed that Xiangyun had disappeared. While they looked this way and that，a maid rushed in laughing，“ Young ladies. Hurry to have a look at the Lady Xiangyun. She’s sleeping on the stone bench over there.” The group tiptoed over，and sure enough，saw Xiangyun sleeping soundly. Fallen flowers scattered on her body，her hair and her face. Her fan had dropped on the ground aside. Bees danced in the air around her. Under her head was a make-shift pillow of peony flowers wrapped with

翻译练习(3)
参考译文: (1) 美国人的空间与中国人的场所 美国人有空间意识，没有场所概念。如果你去住在郊外的美国人家中作客，你要做的第一件事几乎总是不由自主地走向观景窗。说来真怪，你在主人屋内首先赞扬他屋外的景色多么美！主人很高兴你会欣赏他屋外的远景。远方的地平线不仅仅是天地间的分界线，而且是未来的象征。美国人不会扎根于他的寓所，不管这寓所多么舒适：他的目光被辽阔的空间引向地平线上的一点，那是他的未来。 相比之下，来看看中国人传统的家。四周围着光秃秃的墙壁，外面是个院子，院角可能有个小花园。一进入这样一个私家小院，你就会置身于一种静谧、优美的氛围之中，那房舍、小径、石头、花草构成了一个井然有序的小天地。可是你看不到远处的风景：你前面没有任何开阔的空间，唯一的开阔空间是头顶上的天空。中国人扎根于他的场所之中。 (2) AA制（各自付账） 随后便出现了一度称作妇女解放的运动。我这一代女性宣称我们要求平等。说我们不想让别人为我们开门，我们不想让别人替我们付账。突然间，让男人请去饮酒进餐被认为是一种侮辱，认为这是男人们让我们安分守己的阴谋，所以我们拿出自己的支票簿，各付各的账。这是一个多么大的错误啊！如果我顺其自然地同意别人为我付钱的话，不仅可以省下很多钱，而且还省去了许多烦恼。我常常整顿饭都在考虑账单来了怎么办？我是否应该表示付一半？如果我不这样做，他是否期待我会吻他或……如果是他付账，我还能吃龙虾吗？在我知道如果他接受了我提出的付一半的提议而这时我又会感到失望时，提出付一半的建议又有多少是真诚的呢？如果他的钱没有我的钱多，账单全部由我付吗？ 翻译练习(1): The growth of e-trade during the past few years is, without doubt, the most formidable development in the history of commerce —and there seems to be no foreseeable slowing down. The speed of penetration of this medium into every commercial media is almost incomprehensible to even the most ardent cyber-enthusiasts. Not since the Industrial Revolution of the 19th century has development so dramatically altered the path of human behavior. The possibilities of further developments seem literally without limits. Future cyber applications to business, not even explored, seem to have no boundaries. Nor are these developments restricted to interface with current desktop and laptop computers. The increasing appearance of wireless appliances, such as cellular phones, not to mention the infinite means of transmitting and distributing messages from one point to another and the continuing miniaturization of equipment, promise to alter our means of doing commerce throughout the world. Who knows what other, never before invented communication media will surface tomorrow and in the next few years? The impact of this technical revolution is having on retail commerce and on the means we have come to associate with traditional retail marketing is felt more and more every day. It is likely to revolutionize the relationships marketers have with retailers, their channels of distribution, their suppliers, their advertising agencies and their ultimate consumers. Marketers will need to examine how the rocketing cyberspace developments will affect their
