Bovine Shuffle
农夫John确信快乐的奶牛能产出更多的牛奶，所以他在他的谷仓里装了一个巨大的迪斯科球，并打算教他的奶牛跳舞!
农夫John在看了很多流行的奶牛舞后，决定教他的奶牛跳“Bovine Shuffle"。“Bovine Shuffle"需要他的N只牛（1 ≤ N ≤ 100）按顺序排成一排，依次进行“Shuffle(洗牌)”这个动作，也就是轮换位置排成不同的顺序。为了让奶牛更容易找到自己的位置，John为他的牛按1 … N的顺序排上了号，也就是说第一个奶牛是位置1，第二个是位置2，一直到最后一只是位置N。
每场Shuffle都是用N个数字从a1…a N来标明，换句话说，在这个过程中，原本位置在i的奶牛换到了位置a i (每一次的移动位置a i都在1…N的范围内).每头牛在Shuffle的过程中都会移动到它的新位置。幸运的是，所有这些移动位置a i都是清楚的，不会有两头奶牛跑去同一个位置上。
农场主John给每头奶牛都标上了7位整数位的ID号。如果给你了3次洗牌后的奶牛编号顺序，请给出原本的奶牛顺序。
输入格式(file shuffle.in):
第一行输入N代表了奶牛的总数。下一行输入在a1至a n间的整数之间的整数N。最后一样写三次洗牌后，N头奶牛的ID编号顺序。
输出格式(file shuffle.out):
你应该每一行写一头奶牛的ID号，写N行来标明3次洗牌后的奶牛顺序。

考研英语：翻译真题精讲(1)
考研英语：翻译真题精讲（1） 一、全真试题 The standardized educational or psychological tests that are widely used to aid in selecting，classifying，assigning，or promoting students，employees，and military personnel have been the target of recent attacks in books，magazines，the daily press，and even in Congress.（71）The target is wrong，for in attacking the tests，critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users. The tests themselves are merely tools，with characteristics that can be measured with reasonable precision under specified conditions. Whether the results will be valuable，meaningless，or even misleading depends partly upon the tool itself but largely upon the user. All informed predictions of future performance are based upon some knowledge of relevant past performance: school grades，research productivity，sales records，or whatever is appropriate.（72）How well the predictions will be validated by later performance depends upon the amount，reliability，and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted. Anyone who keeps careful score knows that the information available is always incomplete and that the predictions are always subject to error. Standardized tests should be considered in this context. They provide a quick objective method of getting some kinds of information about what a person learned，the skills he has developed，or the kind of person he is. The information so obtained has，qualitatively，the same advantages and shortcomings as other kinds of information.（73）Whether to use tests，other kinds of information，or both in a particular situation depends，therefore，upon the evidence from experience concerning comparative validity and upon such factors as cost and availability. （74）In general, the tests work most effectively when the qualities to be measured can be most precisely defined and least effectively when what is to be measured or predicated cannot be well defined. Properly used，they provide a rapid means of getting comparable information about many people. Sometimes they identify students whose high potential has not been previously recognized，but there are many things they do not do.（75）For example，they do not compensate for gross social inequality，and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances. 二、翻译题解 （71）The targetiswrong,forin attacking the tests, criticsdivertattention from the faultthatlies withill-informed or incompetent users.

05 It is not easy to talk about the role of the mass media in this overwhelmingly significant phase in European history. History and news become confused, and one's impressions tend to be a mixture of skepticism and optimism. (46)Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed-and perhaps never before has it served to much to connect different peoples and nations as is the recent events in Europe .The Europe that is now forming cannot be anything other than its peoples, their cultures and national identities. With this in mind we can begin to analyze the European television scene. (47) In Europe, as elsewhere multi-media groups have been increasingly successful groups which bring together television, radio newspapers, magazines and publishing houses that work in relation to one another. One Italian example would be the Berlusconi group while abroad Maxwell and Murdoch come to mind. Clearly, only the biggest and most flexible television companies are going to be able to compete complete in such a rich and hotly-contested market. (48) This alone demonstrates that the television business is not an easy world to survive in a fact underlined by statistics that show that out of eighty European television networks no less than 50% took a loss in 1989. Moreover, the integration of the European community will oblige television companies to cooperate more closely in terms of both production and distribution. (49) Creating a "European identity" that respects the different cultures and traditions which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old continent is no easy task and demands a strategic choice - that of producing programs in Europe for Europe. This entails reducing our dependence on the North American market, whose programs relate to experiences and cultural traditions which are different from our own. In order to achieve these objectives, we must concentrate more on co-productions, the exchange of news, documentary services and training. This also involves the agreements between European countries for the creation of a European bank will handle the finances necessary for production costs. (50) In dealing with a challenge on such a scale, it is no exaggeration to say "Unity we stand, divided we fall" -and if I had to choose a slogan it would be "Unity in our diversity." A unity of objectives that nonetheless respect the varied peculiarities of each country.

十岁时，我突然面临着搬家的痛苦，要搬离我自小认识的、唯一的家。到那个时候为止，我简短的人生都是在那个古老的大房子里度过的。在那里，我们四世同堂，有过欢声笑语，也有过悲伤的印记。 那天终于到来的时侯，我跑到屋子后面的小门廊下——这里是我的避难所——独自一人坐在那里颤抖着，泪水从内心深处涌出。突然间，我感到有一只手放到我的肩上。我抬起头，看见了祖父。“不是那么容易啊，是不是，比利？”他柔声说道，坐在了我旁边的台阶上。“爷爷，”我流着泪答道，“可是，我怎么能够跟你，还有我所有的朋友说再见啊？” 他一直注视着远处的苹果树，“再见是多么令人悲伤的字眼，”他说，“对朋友们用这个词似乎太绝对、太冰冷了。好像我们有很多不同的道别方式，但他们有一个共同点，那就是悲伤。”我继续看着他的脸，似乎想要从他的脸上读出些什么。他轻轻地把我的手放到他的手心里。“我的朋友，跟我来。”他轻声说。 我们手牵手走进前院里他最喜欢的地方，在那儿独自种着的一大丛红色的玫瑰十分显眼。 5 “在这儿你看到了什么，比利？”他问道。 我看着那些花儿，不知道该说些什么。然后答道，“我看见了柔和美丽的东西，爷爷。” 他跪了下来，把我拉得更近，说道，“不仅仅是因为这些玫瑰本身的美丽，比利，是你内心的某个特别的地方，使得他们如此美丽。” 他的目光再次接触到我的。“比利，我很久很久以前就种下了这些玫瑰——那个时候甚至还没有你妈妈呢。在我的第一个儿子出生的那天，我把它们种到了土里。这是我在用自己的方式对上帝表达我的感激。那个男孩的名字叫做比利，和你一样。过去我常常看着他给他妈妈摘玫瑰花。” 我看见了祖父的眼泪。以前我从未见过他流泪。他的声音开始变得有些沙哑。“有一天，可怕的战争爆发了。我的儿子，象许多其他人的儿子们一样，去与邪恶作战。他和我一起走到火车站。。。。。。三个月后，来了一封电报说，我的儿子战死在意大利的一个小村庄里。我所能想起的只有在他的生命中我跟他讲的最后一句话——再见。” 祖父缓缓的站起来说，“永远不要说再见，比利。永远不要屈服于那个词所带来的悲伤和孤独。相反，我要你记住那些你第一次跟朋友们说“你好”的时侯心里的那种欢乐。记住那个特别的问候，把他们保存在心里，这样你的内心就会永远充满夏天般的快乐和幸福。当你不得不和朋友们分离时，我想让你在内心深处重新找回第一次的问候。” 一年半以后，祖父病得很严重。几个星期以后，他从医院回来，想把床挪到窗边，因为在那儿他可以看见他心爱的玫瑰丛。 然后，整个家族被召集到一起，我回到了那个老房子。大人们决定，年纪大一些的孙子们可以向他道别。 轮到我时，我发现他看起来相当疲倦。他的眼睛闭着，呼吸缓慢而艰难。我轻轻的拿起他的手，就像以前他牵着我的手一样。“您好，爷爷，”我轻轻的说。他的眼睛缓慢的睁开了。“你好，我的朋友。”他说道，带着短暂的微笑。他的眼睛再一次闭上，我离开了房间。 那时我正站在祖父的玫瑰丛边，叔叔过来告诉我说，祖父已经去世了。想起

2 015年6月13日全国大学英语四级翻译真题及答案 大米 在西方人心目中，和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来，大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位，以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多数种植水稻，人们通常以大米为食；而华北大部分地区因为过于寒冷或过于干燥，无法种植水稻，那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国，有些人用面粉做面包，但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。 In the mind of Westerners,Chinese people have the closest connection to rice,basic food for the Chinese.For a long time,rice occupies a very important position in the Chinese diet.There is even a saying that "even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice".People in south China plant and live on rice,while people in the most parts of North China cannot plant rice due to excessively dry and cold weather. The main crop there is wheat. In China, some people use flour to bake bread,while most people make steamed bread and noodles with flour. xx 中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。构成现代世界基础的许多元素起源于中国。中国现在拥有世界上发展最快的经济，并正经历着一次新的工业革命。中国还启动了雄心勃勃的太空探索计划，其中包括到20年建成的一个太空站。目前，中国是世界最大的出口国之一，并正在吸引大量外国投资。同时，它也在海外投资数十亿美元。2011年，中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。 快递 据报道，今年中国快递服务（courier service）将递送大约120亿件包裹。这将使中国有可能超越美国成为世界上最大的快递市场。大多数包裹里装着网上订购的物品。中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。仅在11月11日，中国消费者就从国内最大的购物平台购买了价值90亿美元的商品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日。因此，快递业在中国扩展就不足为奇了。

Passge 1 唐长安城包括今西安的城区和近郊区，面积相当于现在西安城的七倍半，城周(circumference)有36.7公里，城内居住着约100万人口。长安城内街道宽广笔直，主要大街宽度都在一百米以上，宫门前的一条东西向的大街，足有220米宽。道路两旁种有青槐和榆树（ash and elm trees），并有相当完整的排水系统（sewerage system）。唐代长安是我国封建社会按照规划修建的规模最大的城市，对唐以后我国乃至邻国的城市建筑，都产生了较大的影响。唐代是我国封建社会的鼎盛时期，长安不仅是全国的政治、经济、文化中心，而且是东方最大的国际性都市。当时有三百多个国家和地区，与唐保持友好交往。 Chang’an city in the Tang Dynasty included the present-day Xi’an and its suburbs, 7.5 times larger in area than the present Xi’an city. It was 36.7 km in circumference, and had a population of one million. The streets in Chang’an were straight and wide, and some avenues were over 100m in width. The one in front of the imperial palace, running from east to west, was fully 220m wide.Ash and elm trees lined the streets, all of which had a complete sewerage system. Chang’an city in the Tang Dynasty, built according to a unified plan, was the largest city through Chinese feudal society and had a major influence on city construction in post-Tang China and its neighboring countries. In the Tang Dynasty, which was the heyday of feudal China, Chang’an was not only the political, economic and cultural center of China, but was also the largest cosmopolitan city in the Orient. At that time, over 300 countries and regions were in friendly contact with China. Passage 2 春运( Chunyun)是指中国春节前后一段时期里出现的一种高负荷交通运输，一般从春节前15天开始，持续约40天。对大多数中国人来说，在春节期间与家人团聚是一个悠久的传统。人们从工作、读书的地方回到家里，在除夕夜与家人一起吃团圆饭。春运期间的客流量(passenger flow)在近10年来每年都已超过中国的总人口。春运被称为每年世界上最大的人类迁徙活动。在这期间，铁路运输往往经历最大的考验。 Chunyun refers to the extremely high traffic load in China around the time of the Chinese New Year. It usually begins 15 days before the Lunar New Year’s Day and lasts for around 40 days. It is a long-held tradition for most Chinese people to reunite with their families during the Chinese New Year.

2017考研英语一翻译真题解析 跨考教育英语教研室—王坤2017年考研英语一的翻译题型部分，整体来说难度不大，与2016年难度基本持平，考察的是英语语言发展情况，文章选自英国文化教育协会的一本书，叫《英语下一步》。英语一的考题是此书的序言部分。下面就是跨考英语教研室的英语老师对2017年考研英语一翻译真题的最新解析和参考译文。 (46)But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future. 参考译文：但是，尽管使用英语者的人数在不断增加/说英语的人越来越多，却仍然有迹象表明，英语语言的全球主导地位在不久的将来/可预见的未来也许会慢慢衰退。 句子解析：本句很简单，主句是there be 结构，主句前是让步状语，signs 后面是that引导的同位语从句，对signs进行进一步的补充说明。同位语从句中是主谓结构，the global predominance of the language 是主语，may fade 是谓语，within结构是时间状语。expands的词义不应该选择常用的“扩展”意思，而应该结合前面和它搭配的number，而选择“增加”的意思。 (47)His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generation of the United Kingdom do not need additional language capabilities.

2015考研英语二翻译真题解析
2015考研英语二翻译真题解析 英语二的翻译一直应该是考生应该得分的题目，今年的题目总体来说与去年相当，甚至略微简单，文章来自心理学网站https://www.360docs.net/doc/c511448520.html,。节选标题为“The Well-Travelled Road Effect: Why Familiar Routes Fly By”的一篇文章，经过命题人改编，共156个词，有8句话，符合英语二翻译模式与难度。所以文章长度基本保持不变，内容涉及领域为心理学，共三段，长短句相间，短句较多，涉及知识点有表语从句、宾语从句、原因状语从句、时间状语从句。但是都较为简单。考生只要在考前进行过一定数量的段落练习。相信翻译是考生争取拿分的题目。 继去年一篇积极心理学的文章后，今年又出了一篇心理方面的文章，但是专业程度不强，所以对学生来说还是很容易接受的。 首先文章中阐释的一种心理现象是“well-travelled road effect”是考生们不熟悉的一个词语，但是通过全文阅读会发现，这是人们生活中一种常见的现象，所以考生可以自己进行总结，而且这个中心词中没有出现生词，所以对于考生来说还是比较简单的。 其它稍微可能有难度的词语为commute：通勤;perceive：察觉;well-travelled road effect： 熟悉路线效应;underestimate：低估;route：道路;allocate：分配，掌握了这些词汇，应该就没有大问题了。 下面来分析其中稍微有难度的句子。 Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand. 【解析】首先“twist and turn”的意思是迂回曲折，具体到路上表示的就是指道路的拐弯、曲折。其次“know sth like the back of your hand”的英文释义为： to have very good and detailed knowledge of something，即对某件事情非常了解、了如指掌。 【翻译】不管是哪一条路，你对每一个拐每一个弯都了如指掌，非常熟悉。 文中包括一个以上从句的句子有The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has.这是由一个表语从句和宾语从句组成的复合句，但是都可以直接按顺序翻译，所以不涉及翻译技巧。 其他句子较简单，在此不做详解，下附全文翻译： 设想一下，你正开车行驶在一条非常熟悉的路线上。可能是你每天上下班、去城里、或是回家的路。不管是哪一条路，你对每一个拐每一个弯都了如指掌，非常熟悉。在这样的路途中，我们容易在开车的时候心不在焉，对途中的景色也几乎是全然不顾。如此一来，你会觉得路上所花的时间比实际要少。 这就是“熟悉路线效应”：人们往往会低估行驶在熟悉的路上所花费的时间。 这一效应由我们分配精力的方式引起。当行驶在熟悉的路上时，由于我们不用太过集中精力，时间似乎飞逝而过。 随后，我们回想行车过程时，由于我们没有过多关注，所以对行车的印象也很模糊。因

Disney Mirrors American Culture Last fall, the Walt Disney Company did something rare: it admitted defeat in its fight to build a history theme park in Virginia.The park was going to be called "Disney's America". Some people might be wondering, however, if Disney lost the battle but won the war, as it seems everyone is living in Disney's America these days. With its purchase of Capital Cities/ABC Inc. last month, the company founded by Walter Elias Disney in 1923 deepened its claim on American culture. In fact, it would be hard to find another company so widely respected—even loved—by Americans. Americans rush out to see Disney films, and then replay them—on videotapes; they read Disney books to their children;they watch Disney shows on Disney TV;they make trips to Disneyland and Disney World, where they stay in Disney hotels and eat Disney food;Americans buy Disney products at Disney stores, and listen to Disney records of Disney songs. The world of Disney is becoming anything but small. All this makes some people more than a little upset. Harold Bloom, a professor at Yale University, provides an examination of the cultural history of Western society. "At the end of this road lies cultural uniformity of the worst kind. It's just terrible." This is becoming a popular opinion in universities around the world. "Disney products," said Paul Fussell, a professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, "have always seemed to me seriously sub-adult." Those who oppose Disney (and there are many) see its films and by-products as sexist, racist and as simpler, cheered-up accounts of American history and folklore. "There's a kind of protection at work here," said Henry Giroux, a professor at Penn State University. Like all those opposed to Disney, he can list, in detail, Disney's many crimes against culture:he is very angry, for example, about the treatment of American Indians in Pocahontas. "I mean, the entire history of what happened to the Indians, which some people would call the murder of their people, is sort of played out as a love story," he said angrily. Giroux said he believes that Disney has become a basic educator of America's children, most of whom will be able to perform every word of The Lion King long before they even learn US President Abraham Lincoln's historic Gettysburg Address. However, even the most strongly opposed are quick to note that Disney has many positive values—cheerfulness, good-hearted fun, and a tradition of artistic quality—that help explain its success. Critical or not, most of those who oppose the company are Disney customers themselves. 迪斯尼——美国文化的一面镜子 去年秋天，沃尔特·迪斯尼公司做了一件罕见的事情：它承认自己争取在弗吉尼亚州建造一个历史主题公园的努力失败了。公园原本打算命名为“迪斯尼美国公园”。
