二、翻译题

Lesson1

1. None other than Joe Barton, a Republican congressman from Texas and a glob al-warming skeptic, upbraided BP managers for their “seeming indifference to saf ety and environmental issues.”

就连乔·巴顿，对全球变暖持怀疑态度、来自得克萨斯州的共和党众议员，都谴责BP 管理人员“对安全和环境问题表现得漠不关心”。

2. Surely, given the expense of the clean-up and the hit to BP’s reputation, the ex ecutives wish they could go back and spend the extra money to make Deepwater Horizon safer. That they did not suggests that they figured the rig would be fine as it was.

显然，考虑到清理费用和对BP 声誉的影响，高管们真希望可以回到过去，多花些钱让“深水地平线”更安全。他们没有增加这笔费用就表明他们认为钻机在当时的状态下不会出问题。

3. In a little-noticed provision in a 1990 law passed after the Exxon Valdez spill, Congress capped a spiller’s liability over and above cleanup costs at $75 million

for a rig spill. Even if the economic damages—to tourism, fishing and the like —stretch into the billions, the responsible party is on the hook for only $75 milli on.

埃克森公司瓦尔迪兹漏油事件发生后，在1990 年的一个法案很少引人注意的一项条款中，美国国会将钻机泄漏清理费用的责任上限定为7 500 万美元。即使对旅游业、渔业等造成的经济损失高达数十亿美元，责任方也仅需要支付7 500万美元。

4. But it would be foolish to think that the only risks we are still underestimating are the ones that have suddenly become salient.

不过，如果认为我们目前仍然低估的只是那些突然间引人注目的风险，那是非常愚蠢的。

Lesson2

1、It is a cliche,as it is to take of apocalypse and nightmare, but when somet hing is beyond our experience,we reach for the points of reference we have. 说到世界末日和噩梦又是老生常谈，但是当事情超出我们的经验时，我们总会寻找现有的东西作为参照。

2、Lest you should ever forget the smallness of being human, the iconic Mou nt Fuji, instantly recognizable yet somehow different on every viewing is an e xtinct volcano.

唯恐你会忘记作为人类的渺小，标志性的富士山，一眼即能认出但不知何故每次观看又呈现出不同景象，就是一座死火山。

3、It surprised me, over the following months that the gas attack seemed to d ominate the national media coverage, whereas Kobe, after the initial weeks of horrifying footage, slipped somewhat into the background.

在随后的几个月里，让我吃惊的是毒气攻击似乎占据了国家媒体报道的主要内容，而神户大地震经过了最初几周骇人听闻的电视报道后，已经退居次位了。

4、Rather than immersing ourselves in the language of horror films and the en

d of th

e world, when the time is right to try to glimpse this new territory, we might for thought reach for a book by Japan’s most popular contemporary no

velist.

我们不能沉浸在恐怖片和世界末日的语言中，在合适的时间，如果想要了解这一新的领域，我们可以考虑看看日本最流行的现代小说家的一本书。

5、But we should resist the temptation to imagine panicking hordes buying up all the food and fleeing the capital as the next part of our horror narrative.

但是，我们不应该总想着成群结对恐慌的人们抢空所有食物，逃离首都，把这些当成是恐怖故事的下一个情节。

Lesson4

1、Bill Clinton was hard to miss in the autumn of 1970. He arrived at Yale Law School looking more like a Viking than a Rhodes Scholar returning from two years at Oxford. He was tall and handsome somewhere beneath that redd ish brown beard and curly mane of hair. He also had a vitality that seemed to shoot out of his pores. When I first saw him in the law school’s student lou nge, he was holding forth before a rapt audience of fellow student.

1970 年秋天，你想不注意比尔. 克林顿也不容易。他来到耶鲁大学法学院时，看上去像一个北欧海盗，而不像一个在牛津大学呆了两年后回国的罗兹奖学金获得者。他身材高大，他那棕红色的胡子和卷曲而浓密的头发使他显得很帅气。他浑身充满了活力。当我第一次在法学院的学生休息室里见到他时，他正对着一帮全神贯注的同学滔滔不绝地讲着什么。

2、The way Bill tells the story, he couldn’t remember his own name.

在比尔讲述这段事情的版本中，他说他当时都想不起来自己叫什么名字了。

3、To this day, he can astonish me with the connections he weaves between i deas and words and how he makes it all sound like music.

直到现在我还常为他敏捷的思维和恰如其份的用词，以及他如何能够将要表达的思想说得那么动听而感到惊讶不已。

4、One of the first things I noticed about Bill was the shape of his hands. Hi s wrists are narrow and his fingers tapered and deft, like those of a pianist or a surgeon. When we first met as students, I loved watching him turn the pag

es of a book. Now his hands are showing signs of age after thousands of han dshakes and golf swings and miles of signatures. They are, like their owner, w eathered but still expressive, attractive and resilient.

我首先注意到的是比尔的手的形状。他的手腕不粗，手指修长而灵巧，就像一双钢琴家或外科医生的手。学生时代我们第一次见面时，我就喜欢他用手翻书的样子。如今他的手已因成千上万次的握手、打高尔夫球和无数次的签名而增添了岁月的痕迹。它们和他们的主人一样，虽经历风雨却依然充满表现力、魅力与活力。

5、I still didn’t know where I would live and what I would do because my i nterests in child advocacy and civil rights didn’t dictate a particular path.

我还不知道自己将来会住在哪里和要做什么，因为我在儿童权益促进和民权方面的兴趣尚未为我指明一条明确的道路。

6、The prospect of driving from one Southern state to another convincing De mocrats both to support McGovern and to oppose Nixon’s policy in Vietnam e xcited him.

一想到能够驾车穿梭在南方各州之间来说服民主党人既支持麦克戈文，又反对尼克松的越战政策就使他非常激动。

7、We both had to work to pay our way through law school, on top of the st udent loans we had taken out.

尽管我们都获得了学生贷款，但是我们俩还是不得不打些工来完成法学院的学习。

Lesson5

1. The product was becoming more important to the company’s bottom line, acco unting for 45% of the revenue that year, and it was also burnishing the hipness o f the company’s image in a way that drove sales of Macs.

该产品对于苹果公司的营收越发重要，占当年收入的45%。同时，iPod 还带动了Mac 系列的销售，为苹果公司塑造出时髦的企业形象。

2. The conclusion he had come to: “The device that can eat our lunch is the cell phone.” As he explained to the board, the digital camera market was being decim ated now that phones were equipped with cameras.

乔布斯得出结论：“能抢我们饭碗的设备是手机。”他向董事会说明，手机都开始备摄像头，数码相机市场正急剧萎缩。

3. It ended up having neither the enticing minimalism of an iPod nor the conve nient slimness of a RAZR. Ugly, difficult to load, and with an arbitrary hundred-song limit, it had all the hallmarks of a product that had been negotiated by a co mmittee, which was counter to the way Jobs liked to work.

但是，该系列手机既没有iPod 迷人的简约风格，也没有刀锋系列便捷的超薄造型，它外观丑陋，下载困难，只能容纳近百首歌曲。这是典型的委员会讨论之下形成的产品，与乔布斯喜欢的工作方式相悖。

4. Since he often did that on the day new products went on sale, there were som

e fans hanging out in anticipation, and they greeted him as they would have Mos es i

f he had walked in to buy the Bible.

由于乔布斯经常在新产品开始销售的第一天去店里，所以有些粉丝已等在专卖店里期待他的到来，他们跟他打招呼，就好像他们能碰到摩西去买《圣经》的情形一样。

5.Make the screen five inches by eight inches, and you’ll rule the world.

把屏幕做成5 英寸宽、8 英寸长，世界就是你的了。

Lesson7

1、This Christmas season finds us a rather bewildered human race. We have n either peace within nor peace without. Everywhere paralyzing fears harrow peo ple by day and haunt them by night. Our world is sick war; everywhere we t urn we see its ominous possibilities. And yet, my friends, the Christmas hope for peace and goodwill toward all men can no longer be dismissed as a kind of pious dream of some utopian.

今年圣诞时节，人们困惑惶恐，内心无法宁静，外部没有和平。无论身置何处，恐慌昼夜萦绕于胸，无论走到哪里，战争的阴霾时时笼罩天空。我们这个世界已

烟卷了战争，无论何处都危机四伏。各位教友，即便如此，我们不能把祈求和平、善待众人的基督圣训视作不切实际的虔诚美梦。

2、If we don’t have goodwill toward men in this world, we will destroy oursel ves by the misuse of our own instruments and our own power. Wisdom born of experience should tell us that war is obsolete. There may have been a time when war served as a negative good by preventing the spread and growth of an evil force, but the very destructive power of modern weapons of warfare eliminates even the possibility that war may any longer serve as a negative go od.

如果不能友善待人，我们所有和所能必将由于使用不当而使我们走向自我毁灭。历史的经验告诉我们，战争早已过时。曾几何时，战争或有以毒攻毒之效，可以遏制邪恶势力的蔓延与发展，然而正是现代战争利器的巨大破坏力，使它再不能被视作匡扶邪恶的正义之举。

3、Now let me suggest first that if we are to have peace on earth, our loyalti es must become ecumenical rather than sectional. Our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective.

现在，我首先要说的是，要想世界和平，我们就必须忠于芸芸，而不是忠于一隅。我们的忠心必须超越我们的种族和部落，超越我们的阶层和国家；这就意味着我们必须放眼世界。

4、Now let me say, secondly, that if we are to have peace in the world, men and nations must embrace the nonviolent affirmation that ends and means must cohere. One of the great philosophical debates of history has been over the w hole question of means and ends. And there have always been those who argu ed that the end justifies the means, that the means really aren’t important. The important thing is to get to the end, you see.

其次，我呼吁，要实现世界和平，所有众人、所有国家必须坚守非暴力信念，坚信目的、手段必须互渗互连。手段与目的的关系一直是历史上颇有争议的重大哲学问题。总有人认为只要目的正确，可以不择手段，重要的是要达到目的。

5、Now let me say that the next thing we must be concerned about if we are to have peace on earth and goodwill toward men is the nonviolent affirmation of the sacredness of all human life. Every man is the somebody because he i s a child of God. And so when we say ”Thou shall not kill, ”we’re really saying that human life is too sacred to be taken on the battlefields of the wor ld.. Man is more than a tiny vagary of whirling electrons or wisp of smoke fr om a limitless smoldering.

再之，我要说，若想世界和平、世人和睦，必须以非暴力申明所有人的生命都是神圣的。每个人都很重要，因为他们都是上帝之子，因此，我们说“勿杀生”，是指人的生命是神圣的，不应在战场上被轻易夺走。人的生命远非旋转电子构成的奇妙之物，也不是无尽燃烧的焖火中升起的一缕轻烟。

7. At moonrise, as we slow our minds or the pace of the heavens, enchantme nt steals over us. We open the vents of feeling and exercise parts of our mind s that reason locks away by day. We hear, across the distances, murmurs of a ncient hunters and see anew the visions of poets and lovers of long ago.

月出之时，当我们放慢自己的思想，让它跟随天国的脚步，一种心醉神迷的感觉就会流遍全身。我们会打开情感的窗口，会让白天被理智锁住的那部分思绪尽情奔涌。我们有越过遥远的时空，听见远古猎人的低语’再次看到很久以前的恋人与诗人眼中的世界。

Lesson8

1. Sallee hadn’t minded having to come in when the clerk on duty became ill tha t afternoon.And later, instead of calling in another employee for the evening shift, he’d remained until closing.

那天下午，因当班的职员生病，萨利并不介意来顶班。随后他也没叫其他职员来值夜班，而是自己一直干到商店打烊。

2. Sallee hesitated, but only for a second. At 27, he owned three video shops and was a successful businessman. He’d often delayed closing for customers. There was no reason not to accommodate this one.

萨利迟疑了片刻，但仅仅是片刻。年仅27 岁的萨利已拥有三家音像店，是个成功的商人。他经常为了顾客而推迟关店门。这次同样也没有理由不满足顾客的需求。

3. Shocked into the reality of what was happening, Sallee strained at his bonds, trying to turn away from the slashing knife. His attackers angrily pushed him out of the cramped closet. Sallee yanked his hands apart repeatedly until the cloth b inding them gave way.

惊恐地意识到眼前所发生的事实，萨利用力挣脱绑在手脚上的绳子，试图躲开乱刺的刀。劫匪恼羞成怒地把他从狭窄的储藏室推了出来。萨利用力地、不停地拉扯着他的双手，直到捆绑的绳子松开。

4. Haltingly, he raised his hand to his throat. As he pulled it away he saw throug

h blurred eyes what appeared to be multiple hands, covered with blood. His life was ebbing away, but he could not move. He thought how sorry he was that his parents might have to find him this way.

他犹豫着，把手慢慢地抬到嗓子部位。把手移开时，他模糊的双眼似乎看到了许多只手的叠现，它们全都沾满了血。生命渐渐地离他而去，但他却一动也不能动。他想父母也许会看到他这副样子，那该多伤心啊。

5. The store lights were still on, but interior lighting could not explain the bright shining in his face. Sallee did not know what it was. He knew only that he was growing stronger with each step.

店里的灯还亮着，但这店里的灯光却不能解释他脸上所泛出的光明。萨利自己也不知道这是什么。他只知道每走一步他都变得更坚强了。

6. What happened to Sallee through those eternally long minutes after he was left for dead continues to fill him with awe. “I’ve always heard and read about mira cles,” Troy Sallee says, “and now I know they really happen.”

他被离弃等死的漫长的几分钟内所发生的事，仍然使萨利心有余悸。“以前经常听说这类奇迹，也读了不少这种奇迹般的故事，”特罗伊·萨利说，“而现在我明白了这种奇迹真的会发生。”

Lesson13

1. Artists liked the way the palms grew and the bright colors of the hotels facing the gardens and the sea.

艺术家们喜欢棕榈树生长的形状以及那面对花园与大海的旅馆明亮的色彩。

2. Water stood in pools on the gravel paths. The sea broke in a long line in the r ain and slipped down the beach to come up and break again in a long line in the rain.

雨水在砾石路上聚集成了一个个小水坑。海水涌上了沙滩，在与雨水相接之处形成了一条长长的分界线，之后又顺着沙滩滑回去，然后再涌上沙滩，又形成了一条长长的分界线。

3. Outside right under their window a cat was crouched under one of the drippi ng green tables. The cat was trying to make herself so compact that she would n ot be dripped on.

就在他们的窗外一只小猫蹲在一张绿色的滴着雨水的桌子下面。它尽量地缩着身子以免被雨水淋湿。

4.She liked the deadly serious way he received any complaints. She liked his dig nity.

她喜欢旅馆老板非常认真地听取顾客意见的方式。她喜欢他那威严的样子。

5. Something felt very small and tight inside the girl. The padrone made her feel very small and at the same time really important…. She had a momentary feelin g of being of supreme importance.

女孩的心被轻轻地触动了。旅馆老板对她的态度使她感到自己既柔弱又非常重要……在一瞬间感觉自己好像是最重要的人物了。

According to the data collected by the World Health Organization, Chinese smokers consume a third of the world's cigarettes. China’s national health authorities estimate over a million deaths from tobacco-related diseases every year.

Although the nation's health ministry issued a regulation in 2011 to ban smoking in public places, it hasn't been "strictly enforced". At present, Chinese government explicitly requires officials at all levels not to smoke in public places such as hospitals, public transport or schools to set a good example for the public.
