历年英语翻译资格考试笔译三级真题
理了历年英语翻译资格考试笔译三级真题,一起来看一下吧。 Section 1 English-Chinese Translation ( 50 points ) Translate the following passage into Chinese. This month, the United Nations Development Program made water and sanitation the centerpiece of its flagship publication, the Human Development Report. Claims of a "water apartheid," where poor people pay more for water than the rich, are bound to attract attention. But what are the economics behind the problem, and how can it be fixed? In countries that have trouble delivering clean water to their people, a lack of infrastructure is often the culprit. People in areas that are not served by public utilities have to rely on costlier ways of getting water, such as itinerant water trucks and treks to wells. Paradoxically, as the water sources get costlier, the water itself tends to be more dangerous. Water piped by utilities - to the rich and the poor alike - is usually cleaner than water trucked in or collected from an outdoor tank. The problem exists not only in rural areas but even in big cities like Manila and Jakarta, said Hakan man, program director of the UN agency in Thailand. Further, subsidies made to local water systems often end up benefiting people other than the poor, he added. The agency proposes a three-step solution. First, make access to 20 liters, or 5 gallons, of clean water a day a human right. Next, make local governments accountable for delivering this service. Last, invest in infrastructure to link people to water mains.The report says governments, especially in developing countries, should spend at least 1 percent of gross domestic product on water and sanitation. It also recommends that foreign aid be more directed toward these problems. Clearly, this approach relies heavily on government intervention, something man readily acknowledged. But there are some market-based approaches as well. By offering cut-rate connections to poor people to the water mainline, the private water utility in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, has steadily increased access to clean water, according to the agency’s report. A subsidy may not even be necessary, despite the agency’s proposals, if a country can harness the economic benefits of providing clean water. People who receive clean water are much less likely to die from water-borne diseases - a common malady in the developing world - and much more likely to enjoy long, productive, taxpaying lives that can benefit their host countries. So if a government is trying to raise financing to invest in new infrastructure, it might find receptive ears in private credit markets - as long as it can harness the return. Similarly, private companies may calculate that it is worth bringing clean water to an area if its residents are willing to pay back the investment over many years. In the meantime, some local solutions are being found. In Thailand, man said, some small communities are taking challenges like water access upon themselves. "People organize themselves in groups to leverage what little resources they have to help their communities," he said. "That’s especially true out in the rural areas. They invest their money in revolving funds and saving schemes, and they invest themselves to improve their villages. "It is not always easy to take these solutions and replicate them in other countries, though. Assembling a broad menu of different approaches can be the first step in finding the right solution for a given region or country. Section 2 Chinese-English Translation ( 50 points ) Translate the following passage into English. 即使遇到丰收年景,对中国来说,要用世界百分之七的耕地养活全球五分之一的人口仍是一项艰巨的任务。 中国的'政府面临许多挑战,最严峻的挑战之一就是耕地流失。过去几年中,平均每

理解为在迁徙过程中停下来或停下休息的地方。后半句中的迁徙过程中的用介词短语during the migration作后置定语。第2句有两个动作,西侧是…和吸引,但英语句子只有一个谓语,故可将吸引译为attracting现在分词作状语,观鸟者为birdwatchers,鸟岛为Bird Islands(青海湖的鸟岛分为东西两岛)。 故整句话可译为: Many birds take Qinghai Lake as a place to rest during their migration.

2020年12月大学英语四级真题试卷一阅读答案及解析
换了概念,原文是指学生们更愿意在校内进行心理辅导而不是外面的心理咨询,D选项则替换成了校外活动。 Passage Two 51. [A] To illustrate people’s peculiar shopping behavior. 52. [D] To make customers believe they are getting a bargain. 53. [B] The E conomist’s promotional strategy works. 54. [C] To trap customers into buying the more pricey item. 55. [B] By comparing it with other choices. 解析: 51题的BD选项都属于捏造的信息,C选项具有一定迷惑性,但描述的是表面的信息,并不是作者举例的真实目的,此处挑选饮料本质是想要阐述一种特定购物行为。 52题讨论的是中罐苏打水定价的理由,A选项吸引更多人去买很明显不对,因为中罐苏打水重量减半价格却很贵,同理B项也不符合,C项本文并未提及,属于生造的信息。所以中罐苏打是为了让顾客以同样价格买到更大罐的饮料从而觉得占到便宜。 53 题A选项看似符合常理,但并不是Dan的研究成果内容,属于张冠李戴;C项文中并没有提及是卖的最好的; 最后的D项也偷年12月英语四级考试已经结束,沪江第一时间为大家准备了四级(真题换了概念,很有迷惑性,研究结果的意思是如果没有纸质加电子版这个选项的话,大部分人还是会选择更便宜的电子版,但和纸质版对比,同样的价格还可以获得电子版,所以人们会更倾向选择print plus digital,而不是digital

2013年3月高级口译听力真题Listening Comprehension 4 含解析
2013年春季上海中高级口译考试于今日3月17日开考,沪江英语在考后第一时间提供真题、解析、答案信息,本文为2013年3月高级口译听力真题Listening Comprehension 4 部分(含解析),由沪江网校提供。 Listening Comprehension 4 Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following talk. As long as there has been crime, there have been ways to solve it. One of the oldest methods is interrogation, a method in which the police question people who might have committed the crime or who might have information about the crime. Interrogation can help the police to establish many basic facts, but modern techniques for solving crime include more complex scientific methods. Let me talk first about a system often called “crime hotlines”. In some cases, where law enforcement personnel have difficulty finding a criminal, they turn to private citizens for help in solving a crime. This system allows people to make a phone call or access a website and give information to the police anonymously. This can often be effective when people are afraid to give information in public. Sometimes, a family member may have committed the crime, and another family member finally decides to call the police and give the information they have. Second, fingerprinting. Each person’s finger print is unique. The ancient Chinese used finger prints to sign legal papers. What better way to identify an individual? Yet, it was only in the late 19th century that finger prints were first used to identify criminals. A variety of scientific techniques make it possible for finger prints to be lifted from most surfaces. Then, they can be compared to finger prints the police have on file. A relatively new technique that crime-fighters are now using is called “psychological profiling”. Criminal psychologists look at the crime and the way it was committed. Based on this information, they try to understand the personality and motivation of the person who committed the crime. Then they can focus their search on people who match this profile. In some cases, private citizens are finding ways to solve crimes as well. With a little knowledge of electronics, anyone can put hidden cameras in a home or office. In the 1990s as an example, there were some cases where nannies were accused of abusing the children they were paid to care for. Hidden cameras were used to prove the nanny’s guilt. However, the technique is controversial because it involves issues of privacy. Finally, let me discuss DNA. Of the most recent crime-solving techniques used, DNA is proving very effective. Each person, with the exception of identical siblings, has a unique DNA coding system. So, if criminals leave anything that can be tested at the scene of the crime, such as blood or hair, they can be identified. DNA was used to solve a crime for the first time in England in 1987. Since that time, it has become widely used, and it’s considered 99% accurate. DNA testing can also be used to prove that a person is innocent. Many prisoners have been released because that DNA evidence proves that they did not commit the crime of which they were convicted. 16. When did people start to use finger printing to identify criminals? 17. In using psychological profiling to find a criminal, people have to match several factors. Which of the following is not one of these factors? 18. Which is one of the oldest methods use to solve crime according to the talk? 19. Why is the use of hidden cameras in solving a crime controversial? 20. Which of the following statements is true about DNA as a crime-solving technique? 【解析】 本段讲座介绍刑事案件侦破(crime-solving)的方法,包括传统的讯问(interrogation)、举报热线(crime hotlines)、指纹鉴定(finger printing),以及相对较新的方法,包括心理档案法(psychological profiling)、摄像头监控、DNA鉴定等。 问题设置考察考生的细节理解,如时间点、帮助破案的具体因素等。文中出现个别与刑侦犯罪相关的词汇,如interrogation、commit、convict等,但上下文可以帮助理解。

2017年12月英语六级翻译真题解析试卷二:洞庭湖(沪江网校版)
译为it is said that。而东岸,则是需要一个稍微有点难度的单词,shore,表示湖的岸。当然,如果不知道这个单词的话,也能用eastern side of the lake表示湖的东边,毕竟龙舟赛只可能在水里进行,不可能在陆地上进行。 第五句和第六句在翻译的时候可以组合成一个句子,因为第六句实际上是省略了和前一句一样的主语,“龙舟赛”。爱国,patriotic。这个单词稍难,如果用country-loving,虽然不如patriotic精确,但是在语法上也没错 故这两句话可翻为: It is said that dragon boat races started on the eastern side of the lake, in order to look for the body of Qu Yuan, a country-loving poet in the state of Chu. 更高级的翻译是: Dragon boat racing is said to have begun on the eastern shores of Dongting Lake as a search for the body of Qu Yuan, a patriotic Chu poet. 【第七句】龙舟赛与洞庭湖及周边的美景,每年都吸引着成千上万来自全国和世界各地的游客。 这
