CATTI二级口译实务考试试卷
全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试2004年11月日语二级口译实务试题试题部分：2004年全国翻訳専攻資格検定試験通訳実務(日本語‧２級)録音資料ただ今から、《2004年度全国翻訳専攻資格検定試験》日本語２級‧通訳実務の試験を開始します。
一、次の日本語の文章を中国語に訳しなさい。
(50点)次の日本語文章の録音を聞いてください。
文章は一文ずつ読み上げますが、一度しか読みません。
録音を聞きながら必要なところをメモしてください。
ピーッという音がしたら、マイクに向かって聞いた内容を中国語に訳してください。
ピーッという音がもう一度したら、次の文の録音を流しますので、直ちに通訳を終了してください。
では、試験を始めます。
文章1近代五輪発祥の地アテネに108年ぶりに戻った、第28回アデネオリンピックの開会式が北京時間の14日午前3時45分から約3時間半にわたり、アテネの五輪スタジアムで4万人の観客が見守る中、行われました。
史上最多の202の国・地域から約1万5000人が参加し、29日の閉会式までの17日間、28競技・301種目で熱戦が繰り広げられます。
国際オリンピック委員会（IOC）が承認するすべての国・地域の代表がそろうのは、第26回のアトランタ大会（1996年）に次いで2度目です。
入場行進はギリシャ語のアルファベット順で行われ、407名の選手・役員団を擁する中国は、バスケットボール選手の姚明さんを旗手に78番目に姿を現わしました。
文章21970年代末に中国が改革開放を実行して以来、経済建設は最重要課題に なっていた。
20余年来、中国のGDPは急上昇し、一人当たりの平均所得はいくらか引き上げられた。
しかし、長年追求してきた経済成長は相応の社会発展をもたらさず、一部の社会問題は依然として解決されていなかった。
2003年、国家統計局が公布したデータによれば、中国の貧富の格差を反映するジニ係数が既に改革開放初期の0.3から0.46に上昇しており、これは20%足らずの人口が80%以上の社会の富を所有していることを意味している。
発展の不均衡という問題について昨年に開催された中国共産党十六期三中全会において、全体的でバランスの取れた、持続可能な科学的発展観の樹立を提起し、過去の経済成長に重きを置く発展パターンを転換し、経済、社会、環境等の全面的な発展を実現することを強調し、各地が確実に経済成長方式を転換し、都市・農村、区域間、経済と社会のバランスの取れた発展を促進することを要求している。
文章319日付の経済日報は、中国政府の景気過熱抑制策が効を奏しているため、中国が今年利上げに踏み切る可能性は低い、とする論評を掲載した。
中国人民銀行は、銀行から流動性を吸い上げるために、公開市場操作の一環として短期国債を売却しているが、利上げは実施していない。
経済日報は、「米国が利上げ局面に入ったことは、中国の金融政策の決定に多大な影響を持つだろうが中国が金利を調節するかどうかは、そのような動きが経済にとって有益かどうかに左右される」と述べた。
また、「マクロ経済コントロール策の効果が顕在化しているため、米連邦準備制度理事会（FRB）の利上げに追随する可能性は高くない」と指摘した。
文章4「女性の社会進出」が目立っています。
中国の家族は、ほとんどが共働きです。
女性の社会進出が奨励され、かつては「女性が天の半分を支えている」というスローガンがうち出されました。
今、よく働く女性、とくにバリバリ働いているキャリアウーマンを「女強人」と呼んでいます。
外国人にしてみれば、どっちも同じような印象かもしれませんが、女性の社会進出が一般的ですので、男性も家事を分担しています。
ＩＴ企業で活躍する女性もいれば、お手伝いさんとして働き、都市の繁栄に貢献している女性もいます「中国の女性の社会進出が進んでいる」と見えるのは、「子どもはジジババに子守りを任せて、母チャンは若いんだから野良へ出ろ」という従来の農村のライフスタイルによるものではないかと思います。
低賃金で、お手伝いさんや子守りを雇えるのも重要なポイントでしょう。
貧しい地域から、「おしん」のような労働力がいくらでもやってきます。
それで、経済的価値が見出されにくい家事労働も、アウトソーシングすれば立派な経済活動。
一つのりっぱな産業になります。
これも中国経済の活気を支える要素 じゃないでしょうか。
北京で家政サービス業が栄えていることがそのことを裏付けています。
1983年、北京市婦女連合会は「北京市三八家政サービスセンター」を設立しました。
2000年8月、中国労働社会保障部は、「保姆」の正式名称を「家政服務員」と定め、資格の必要な90の職種の一つとして認定しました。
しかし、雇い主の中には、農村出身の家政婦を差別視し、とてもこなせないほどの仕事量を要求する、給料を支払わない、休暇を与えない、残業手当を支払わないなど、ひどい扱い方をする人もいます。
そのために法律援助を求める人もでてきました。
IT業のキャリアウーマンに対しても普通のお手伝いさんに対しても、あらゆる人の人格と人権が重んじられる男女平等の環境を築きあげなければなりません。
一部の地域では男尊女卑など古い意識がまだ根強く残っており、とくに女性に対する差別問題、セクハラや家庭内暴力などの問題が存在しています。
したがって、会社や学校、コミュニティで女性権益保護キャンペーンを実施し、セクハラ対策を行ない、フリーダイヤル電話を設け、専任カウンセラーが相談に当たるようにしています。
文章5人は子供から大人に成長するまでの期間に一貫して教育を受け、様々なことを学びます。
まずもっとも基本的なことから考えてみましょう。
三つ子の魂百までということわざがあるように、幼い時に身に付けた習慣は、年を取っても忘れることはないといいます。
揺りかごの頃からの教育、つまりスタート時点から良い習慣を身に付けさせ、自ら学び、自ら考えるという生きる力を養うことが大事です。
これは小学校の段階でやるべき教育です。
高校卒業に近づくと、いよいよ巣立ちの段階になり、人生をどう生きていくかという問題にぶつかります。
この時の対処の仕方は人生の大きな試練です。
たとえば、この試験を受けるのが若者だとして、君は将来、なにかビジネスでも起業して食べていこうと考えているのか、あるいはあなたがリストラされた中高年世代だとすると、いざとなったら起業して食べていくぞと腹を決めていますか。
やはり、だれかに雇われる生活を考えるのが普通でしょう。
日本は百数年前まで自営業の存在する社会であったわけです。
その時代、人々は皆自分の商売で一生懸命稼いでいたのです。
あなたは、成人式を迎えたとき、一体何を考えたのか、自分の人生そのものに責任のある行動を取っていたか。
大志なき者が、大業を成しとげたことを聞いたことがありません。
文章6あなたは、強い責任感を持って仕事に取り組んだことがありますか。
自分でやりたいことを決める意志を持ち、そのことに責任を持つ勇気がありますか。
もしも適切な決断や冷静な思考がなかったら、おそらくその原因は教育にあるのです。
教育と言っても家庭教育、早期教育、学校教育、高等教育、生涯教育などいろいろですが、教育の改革は国際的に共通の課題となっています。
文章7上海協力機構に加盟するカザフスタン、中国、キルギススタン、ロシア、タジキスタン、ウズベキスタンの6カ国首脳が、2002年6月7日、「上海協力機構憲章」に調印し、同機構の将来の発展に対して法的な足固めを行った。
「憲章」では、同機構の基本理念と任務を次のように定めている。
加盟国間の相互信頼や善隣友好を促進し、協力分野を拡大する。
地域の平和や安全、安定を守り、民主的で公正かつ合理的な国際政治経済の新秩序をつくる。
あらゆるテロ、民族分裂活動、過激派の活動に共同で立ち向かい、違法薬物や武器の売買、国際犯罪組織の活動や不法移民を取り締まる。
政治、経済貿易、国防、法律執行、環境保護、文化、科学技術、教育、エネルギー、交通、金融融資、その他、ともに関心を寄せる分野での効果な地域協力を奨励する。
二、次の中国語の文章を日本語に訳しなさい。
(50点)文章8房地产业是中国当前最为红火的行业。
媒体广泛关注，房产广告随处可见，房展会越开越多，买房子已经成为老百姓最热衷的话题。
中国人以自己的要求和眼光给自己挑选住房，是近几年的新趋势。
几十年来，中国城市居民的住房是依靠他们工作单位提供的公有住房。
已婚夫妇常常要排队等上几年才能得到一套二居室住房。
一家两代、甚至三代同住在一套房子里是很普通的事。
从80年代初邓小平提出住房要商品化，中国的住房制度改革经历了艰难曲折的20年，这场事关每个人利益的改革，在最近的几年有了重大进展。
1997年启动个人住房贷款，2000年中央财政将20亿元住房建设资金作为职工的住房补贴发放给职工，2000年末停止福利分房。
这时全国个人购买的商品住宅面积已占到全部商品房面积的89.4%。
就老百姓而言，大多数人是为改善居住状况而买房，同时已经有一部分人开始把房地产作为自己投资的方式。
买没买房，买哪里的房，贷款了没有，房子质量怎么样，这些已经渐渐成为中国人社会生活中的热门话题。
停止福利分房制度，启动私人住房市场，不仅对人们的社会生活产生深远的影响，同时也造就了中国的房地产业。
过去的建筑业只是国家基础产业之一，而今发挥着拉动经济的重要作用。
过去他们的客户是机关单位，不仅不用考虑所盖的房子是否有人要，而且设计是简单划一的，只要根据建房单位的要求，建造一居室、两居室或三居室就行了。
但现在面对的是越来越多的私人购房者，他们的要求各不相同。
建房者不仅要考虑住房人的生活需要，还要面对激烈的市场竞争，只有拿出更有新意、质优价低的房子，才能在竞争中胜出。
中国的房地产业的迅猛发展，已经成为中国经济巨大的推动力。
据中国房地产协会估计，在中国去年国内生产总值8％的增长率中，住房建设占了至少1.5个百分点。
专家预测，未来10年，中国的房地产业将持续保持增长态势。
文章9我生长住一个充满艺术氛围的家庭里。
父亲是位画家，从小就十分注重培养我的艺术修养，从小叫我学舞蹈、音乐、书法等。
不只是因为爱好，也许是身上流淌着父辈的血液的缘故，画画好象是我的一种天分。
高中时我报考了美术专业班，在通往艺术殿堂的路上，开始迈出了蹒跚的脚步。
画画可是一件苦差事，有时到条件恶劣的农村写生，一住就是一个多月。
蚊虫叮咬，风吹日晒，常使我产生退缩情绪。
每当这时，父亲浑身是汗、埋头创作的形象就会闪现在我的脑海里。
我上高中那一年夏天，父亲准备参加一个全国性美展。
于是他爬山涉水走遍太行。
那大山深谷之间不知留下了他多少足迹!父亲下乡回来后，就一直把自己关在一间小画室里不停地工作。
2019年6月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试二级口译实务真题(人事部CATTI考试)
2019年6月全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试英语二级《口译实务》试题Section 1: English-Chinese translation(英译汉)(50points) Passage 1 When I came here last year, it was 9 months after the agreement was signed by OPEC members and non-OPEC countries. Now we have been out of 3 years of recession. cooperation between 25 countries has helped bring back stability, having a positive impact on world economy and trade. In the past 20 months, the change in the situations is like day and night.However, it’s not the time for us to rest on the su ccess. We should continue to build a healthy and stable market. Despite the recovery, there are still factors that are out of our control: geopolitical crises, disputes between countries and natural disasters. It is important for us to handle these risks and it is crucial to the market in the short term and in the long term.We are in support of the Paris Agreement, which is the most important document about climate change and sustainable energy. Historically, people think renewable energy is the only choice for the future, but I think this idea is misleading. Actually, we need a diversity of energy sources, rather than just one source.New renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are developing rapidly and the share of hydroelectric power remains stable.By 2040, renewable energy will account for 19% in the global energy mix. Nuclear power will represent 6%. That means 3/4 of the energy supply will have to be found elsewhere. So oil is still important. Global energy demand is predicted to increase by 30%, in order to meet the needs of economic development and increased population. 3 billion people need energy for cooking, and there are still 1 billion people lacking electricity. Energy supply can have no holidays. It is a 24h service. Energy supply has to be reliable, stable and sustainable. Passage 2What is human resources capital index? It is a statistic tool for measuring how a country prepares its people for the challenges in the future. We can’t wait any more,though I know some countries may not feel happy about its ranking.In the past years, many countries have invested much in infrastructure, such as roads, bridges and airports. This is because the social and political benefits of investment in infrastructure are apparent. However, it takes years to see the benefits of investment in human resources, so there is a great gap in countries’ investment in human resources capital, and the gap is likely to widen.The focus of our index is to ask 3 questions: first, how many children in a country can live to 5 years old? second, after reaching the age of 5, how many children go to school? third, when these young people go tothe job market, how many have received sufficient training, which lays a good foundation for live-long learning. If children are provided with nutritious food and good health care, they will then request advanced education. However, in many countries, children face chronic lack of nutritious food, health care and school. If their brains don’t develop fully, later when they enter the job market they will be in a disadvantageous situation.If a country doesn’t invest in human resources capital, its economic output cannot increase, and it cannot compete with other countries. Most of my life has been spent on investment in human resources capital in developing countries, and I have seen how the lack of investment in human resources capital has brought miseries. We call on donors to contribute more to these developing countries. However, we should also recognize that the huge needs cannot be met just by foreign aide. It is more important that the developing countries improve their own ability.Investment in human resources capital is important. Developing countries should improve air quality, provide clean water, school bus service, health care and social security.Section 2: Chinese-English translation(汉译英)(50points) Passage 1改革开放40年来，中国的经济发展取得了巨大成就，已经成为世界第二大经济体。
10月翻译资格二级英语口译实务试卷及答案
10月翻译资格二级英语口译实务试卷及答案The Certificate of English Interpretation: Level ⅡNow please listen to the instructions for this exam. I'll give you a brief introduction before each part of the exam begins and leave you enough time to do the interpreting.Each part is divided into a number of segments and at the start of each segment you will hear this tone. At each pause where you are expected to start interpreting, you'll also hear this tone .You'll hear each segment only once.Let's start with Part 1.Part 1 Consecutive Interpretation: English to ChineseIn this part you will hear a speech delivered in English by an American official at the Seminal" onInternational Trade Conflict and Public Relations. Please interpret this speech into Chinese.Let's begin.Ladies and Gentlemen,Recent polls show that the majority of Americans actually do believe that Sino-American relationship, bothpolitically and economically, is vitally important. Please allow me to offer some suggestions on what we can dotogether to cultivate our relationship, and to continue the progress of the last years so that we can work towardseducating our policymakers and citizens about the benefits of free trade to our economies.First, we must seek out opportunities to continue the exchange of views between our two countries.We must encourage students to study abroad--here I must admit we have a much harder time to getAmericans to travel than our friends in China. We should also urge the exchanges of academics,scientists and artists.Second, we need more exchange of business leaders. I recall the Fortune Global Forum that was held inShanghai in 1999, where more than 800 representatives, including 300 Chairmen, presidents and CEOs fromthe world's leading multinationals came to China to meet with over 200 Chinese entrepreneurs to exchangeopinions and share the experiences that affect their businesses.Third, I would urge you to come to the United States to learn about the factors thatshape Americanthinking and the formulation of its policies. Ask your friends and contacts to make introductions for you tomeet with business leaders and policymakers.Fourth, explore opportunities to invest in the United States. American legislators respond to nothingmore than to their constituents. Many of you already have subsidiaries in the US Here, the Haier Groupcomes to mind. Haier has invested over $15 million in a building in New York and over $40 million inCamden, South Carolina, employing significant numbers of Americans. We need to work together tomake sure that policymakers understand that our bilateral trade relationship is beneficial to both of oureconomies. This is a pattern that the Japanese used in the 1970s and 1980s to develop markets as well asto exert influence.Finally, we should work together to make the APEC viable again. We defined in 1994 that we would reach free trade among many APEC nations by the year 2005. We have lost momentum. China and the USshould work together to reinvigorate the APEC process.Let me conclude by saying that Sino-American relations are the best they have ever been. We have beenable to collaborate on important political and security matters that are vital to the well-being of our peoples.Our economic interests are closely linked as well. China and the US both seek economic growth and stability.Although we may choose to pursue our interests through different policies, we strive to liberalize our marketsand provide businesses with transparent and predictable access for goods and services.The stability of our relations is much like the stability of a three-legged stool. The legs consist ofstrategic, political, and economic relations. If anyone of the legs is either missing or weak, the stool isunstable and is in danger of collapsing. It is our responsibility to maintain the strength of these legs.That's the end of Part 1. Now we move on to Part 2.Part 2 Consecutive Interpretation: Chinese to EnglishIn this part you will hear a speech delivered in Chinese by a Chinese official at the 2005 Fortune GlobalForum. Please interpret this speech into English.Let's begin.尊敬的来宾，女士们，先生们：早上好! 我很高兴来参加《财富》全球论坛，也很荣幸在此与大家交流一下我的看法。

2010年5月CATTI二级笔译综合能力测试完型填空原文以及答案When We Talk About Privacy——by Ruth Suli UrmanWhen we talk about privacy issues with teenagers, what are we really talking about? Most importantly, trust. It's only natural for adolescents growing into their teen years, to want some privacy, some alone time, where they can think about who they are becoming, who they want to be and perhaps, just to relax and be out of earshot of the rest of the world. Teens, like adults, work hard too. And when we consider how much socializing they are forced to do, when they attend school all day, sometimes they just want to come home, go into their room, close the door and just listen to the music of their choice. As adults, it helps to remember not to take these things personally.We also need to remember that teenagers can experience "bad" days, too. In giving them the space to be irritable or sad, without demanding that they put on a cheerful face and façade - as we certainly can't expect anything from them that we don't expect from ourselves! - we are honoring their feelings, as we honor our own feelings.Keeping journals, having private conversations with their friends on the phone, and wanting some alone time is a teen's way of becoming who they are. They are slipping into their bodies, their minds, and their distinct individualities. It helps to remember what it was like to be a teen: the writing we may not have wanted to show our parents, the conversations with friends about "crushes," the times that we wanted to listen to The Beatles when our parents only wanted to hear classical music.It is helpful to think about how we want to be treated, as an adult. Remember: respect is earned, not taken for granted. In order to expect our teenagers to be respectful of us, we must be their teachers and their guides, so that they can mirror our behavior. They will give us back what we are giving them, even without consciously thinking about it. What happens if they "hole" themselves up and we never see their lovely faces? As a beginning, in balancing their alone time, we can reach out and make the time to gather the family together, such as meal times, to create communication. This way our children don't end up living their lives behind closed bedroom doors (where we miss out on their childhood years).Coming together as a family is important, too. There is an immense feeling of satisfaction knowing that we are not strangers to our children, and they are not strangers to us. If there is any concern about what they are doing when you are not with them, find a good time and place where they are comfortable (and you are feeling relaxed about talking) and tell them about your concerns. Life is a series of balances, and in the instance of privacy, we can balance that too. Let them know in a loving way how much you care and perhaps share one of your own teenage stories.In teaching them to balance their privacy needs, there is nothing wrong with asking them questions about where they are going, and expecting them to honor our house rules about curfew, etc. We are still the parents and if we decide we need more information about their friends, by all means, take notes on where they are headed off to, or better yet, offer to be a part of their lives, as much as they are willing to let you in: personally meet their friends' parents; become active in their school. It's a great way to find out about their friendships-which are invaluable to teens, and to foster a close relationship with our teenagers - especially if we come from a place of love and caring and not from a sense of snooping or spying.实务英译汉－必译题In the European Union, carrots must be firm but not woody, cucumbers must not be too curved and celery has to be free of any type of cavity. This was the law, one that banned overly curved, extra-knobbly or oddly shaped produce from supermarket shelves.But in a victory for opponents of European regulation, 100 pages of legislation determining the size, shape and texture of fruit and vegetables have been torn up. On Wednesday, EU officials agreed to axe rules laying down standards for 26 products, from peas to plums.In doing so, the authorities hope they have killed off regulations routinely used by critics - most notably in the British media - to ridicule the meddling tendencies of the EU.After years of news stories about the permitted angle or curvature of fruit and vegetables, the decision Wednesday also coincided with the rising price of commodities. With the cost of the weekly supermarket visit on the rise, it has become increasingly hard to defend the act of throwing away food just because it looks strange.Beginning in July next year, when the changes go into force, standards on the 26 products will disappear altogether. Shoppers will the be able to chose their produce whatever its appearance.Under a compromise reached with national governments, many of which opposed the changes, standards will remain for 10 types of fruit and vegetables, including apples, citrus fruit, peaches, pears, strawberries and tomatoes.But those in this category that do not meet European norms will still be allowed onto the market, providing they are marked as being substandard or intended for cooking or processing."This marks a new dawn for the curvy cucumber and the knobbly carrot," said Mariann Fischer Boel, European commissioner for agriculture, who argued that regulations were better left to market operators."In these days of high food prices and general economic difficulties," Fischer Boel added, "consumers should be able to choose from the widest range of products possible. It makes no sense to throw perfectly good products away, just because they are the 'wrong' shape."That sentiment was not shared by 16 of the EU's 27 nations - including Greece, France, the Czech Republic, Spain, Italy and Poland - which tried to block the changes at a meeting of the Agricultural Management Committee.Several worried that the abolition of standards would lead to the creation of national ones, said one official speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions.Copa-Cogeca, which represents European agricultural trade unions and cooperatives, also criticized the changes. "We fear that the absence of EU standards will lead member states to establish national standards and that private standards will proliferate," said its secretary general, Pekka Pesonen.But the decision to scale back on standards will be welcomed by euro-skeptics who have long pilloried the EU executive's interest in intrusive regulation.One such controversy revolved around the correct degree of bend in bananas - a type of fruit not covered by the Wednesday ruling.In fact, there is no practical regulation on the issue. Commission Regulation (EC) 2257/94 says that bananas must be "free from malformation or abnormal curvature," though Class 1 bananas can have "slight defects of shape" and Class 2 bananas can have full "defects of shape."By contrast, the curvature of cucumbers has been a preoccupation of European officials. Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1677/88 states that Class I and "Extra class" cucumbers are allowed a bend of 10 millimeters per 10 centimeters of length. Class II cucumbers can bend twice as much.It also says cucumbers must be fresh in appearance, firm, clean and practically free of any visible foreign matter or pests, free of bitter taste and of any foreign smell.Such restrictions will disappear next year, and about 100 pages of rules and regulations will go as well, a move welcomed by Neil Parish, chairman of the European Parliament's agriculture committee. "Food is food, no matter what it looks like," Parish said. "To stop stores selling perfectly decent food during a food crisis is morally unjustifiable. Credit should be given to the EU agriculture commissioner for pushing through these proposals. Consumers care about the taste and quality of food, not how it looks."参考译文In the European Union, carrots must be firm but not woody, cucumbers must not be too curved and celery has to be free of any type of cavity. This was the law, one that banned overly curved, extra-knobbly or oddly shaped produce from supermarket shelves.在欧盟，市场出售的胡萝卜必须脆而不糠，黄瓜也不能太弯，芹菜一点空心都不能有。

我第一次来中国已是22年前的事了，但今天却是我第一次来到贵校。
在这个城市里，学生参与塑造了现代中国的发展历程。
我十分有幸能来同诸位共同探讨当今全球化时代的美中关系，而我相信，诸位将在21世纪以行动和言论参与书写中国的历史。

2022年5月翻译资格二级英语口译实务真题英译汉Passage 1亚洲国家经济增长Ladies and gentlemen, today there are more than 95% of the Asian countries that are middle income countries, compared to less than 10% twenty years ago. Such drastic change is due to the rapid economic growth of China, India, Indonesia and other Asian countries. Now the challenge faced by Asia, a region that is largely middle-income countries is how to transition into high income economies. The experience of other developing nations for the past 50 years has shown that, such transition is not easy. Brazil and Columbia have remained at the middle income status for decades and never moved up further. At the same time, Singapore has transitioned from the middle income level to high income level in only 25 years has also shown that this can be done.Investment in infrastructure is key to countries to follow through this transition. However, countries have to step up their efforts in productivity promotion, meaning that it has to make sure the good use of input instead of only focusing the amount of input. For the past 10 years productivity growth accounted for 30% of economic growth. Innovation is what needs to be promoted together with high-quality infrastructure as well as human capital. Innovation is getting more and more important as a country develops its economy. It helps with creating new products and more values in products, in turn will even further economic development and increase wage level.Higher quality of human capital means more skilled and more knowledgeable work force, which is the foundation of any economy. Enhancing the quality of human capital is going to boost growth and equity. A recent study has shown that 20% increase in human capital investment will lead to 3% of productivity growth and narrowing the income gap by 4%. Workers in middle income countries have an average of six years of schooling. That is why countries need to close such gap compared to 10 years of average schooling in high income countries. Quality of education is even more crucial. In math and science subjects 15 year old students in high income countries are doing much better than those in middle income countries. Students with strong abilities in reading writing and problem-solving are more likely to become the future innovators. Survey also shows a direct relation between investments made in education and growth in GDP.Different countries prioritize different infrastructure. Low income countries often need to meet the basic needs such as water supply public health and transportation. Once countries develop even further, they need to focus on electricity and ITinfrastructure. It is a key driver to innovation because it helps create and spread knowledge. Middle income countries with more Internet users are more innovative than those without the internet. Increasing investment in IT is going to boost innovation and productivity.To encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, countries have to step up efforts in intellectual property protection as well as the rule of law, increased financing and created equal policies to boost competition. According to estimation, about US$26 trillion will be spent from 2022 to 2030 on infrastructure investment, in order to lower the impact of climate change. To meet this need, Asian countries need to carry out tax reform, change their economic structure and borrow prudently. But they tend to face a funding shortage anyway. That is why Asian countries have to attract more private investment and build a better investment environment working with private investors and offer a higher return. To conclude, I believe Asian countries have come so far so quickly, The promotion of human capital to achieve sustained growth can be done. That is going to be the natural next step for us.英译汉passage 2人工智能开展趋势Today I would like to talk about technology and where technology is going. The major trend for technology is that it is getting smarter and smarter, which I call artificial intelligence, AI. The use of AI includes robots that are going to undertake a lot of the tasks that human used to do. It is going to redefine jobs and create more tasks that we had no idea exist. This is going to bring drastic changes to society for the next 20 years.Of course we already have AI right now and they are working at the background AIs have eyes in the hospital diagnosing X-rays better than human doctors. AIs have eyes at the back offices of law firms processing legal evidence better than human lawyers. For pilots they only work for 7 to 8 minutes when flying a plane because AI is doing the rest of the work. We also have Amazon and Alibaba that provide smart recommendations with AIs at the back offices. AlphaGo also defeated the world’s Go champion. When we play video games we are playing against AIs. Now what Google is doing is trying to teach AIs how to play video games. And with such learning mechanisms, AI was getting smarter and smarter.There are two aspects that is not truly appreciated by humans. The first is that humans do not really understand the concept of intelligence. Humans tend to have the single dimensional understanding, thinking that IQ is the only way of showing intelligence. For example a rat is the least smart, a monkey is better. Then anaverage person such as me as smarter than a monkey but not smarter than a genius. Such understanding of intelligence is completely wrong. Human intelligence is like a symphony, in fact, it’s like different instruments playing together.Secondly, AI was the technology leading the second industrial revolution. First industrial revolution relied on artificial force. Before the agricultural revolution, all work was done by human muscle or animal force. It is extremely important that during the first agriculture revolution we utilized steam and fossil fuels to power productivity. That is why when we drive a car today it is using the force of 250 horses, that is, 250 horse power. Artificial force is what helps us to build sky scrapers and produce massive products in factories that cannot be done by humans.Artificial forces can also go through wires and grid, Connecting homes, factories, and farmlands, that is offered to everyone to buy. And the smartness of artificial intelligence is multiplied by 1 million times powers the Second Industrial Revolution. That is why the cars on the highway with 250 horsepower is going to be automated in the future. And AI will be developed, just as electricity to the grid, on the cloud.汉译英Passage 1中国新四大创造2000年前，中国创造了指南针、火药、造纸术、以及印刷术，这四大创造推动了人类文明的进步。

Translate the following passage （s ） into Chinese ）第1题【正确答案】：答案:当前在中国，艾滋病毒和艾滋病被视为正在上升的一大威胁。
据中国官方估计，中国已有约84万人感染了艾滋病毒。
但截止2003年底，仅有62159人经检查确诊为艾滋病毒阳性，其余780000或更多的艾滋病毒阳性人员的情况并不为公共卫生部门所知，当事人自己对此或许也不清楚，这就构成了艾滋病毒进一步传播的重大危险。
中国资深官员和在华国际专家都认为，艾滋病毒在中国正从一些特定群体，如注射吸毒人员和卖淫人员，向普通人群扩散。
不过，中国在观念、政策和资源投入方面已取得了重要的进步。
新就任的领导人对改善社会福利，特别是处理艾滋病毒和艾滋病问题加大了投入。
中国对艾滋病问题做出了更加积极的反应，包括了实行全国性的救治计划。
新的方针鼓励“四免一关怀”，即对贫困患者药品免费，检查和治疗免费，防止母婴传染治疗免费，艾滋病孤儿上学免费，以及关怀感染艾滋病毒和艾滋病的家庭等。
中国的高级领导人还承诺执行减轻危害的政策，比如鼓励吸毒者使用安全套，针具以旧换新，以及进行美莎酮替代疗法等。
严峻的挑战还在前面，尽管中国已取得很多积极进展，但要战胜艾滋病，在政治、技术和标准方面还面临着十分艰巨的挑战。
就规划、成本、后勤、人力资源、技术能力以及艾滋病羞耻所引起的普遍问题来看，其规模之大，问题之严重，无论如何强调都不过分。
这里仅举几例：脆弱和不完整的全国性艾滋病毒检查和监测系统，破败而难以发挥作用的公共卫生系统，特别在农村地区，以及在为艾滋病毒和艾滋病感染者提供正常的诊断、咨询、救治、监测和照顾方面严重缺少合格工作人员，必要的设备和技术。

Translate the following passage（s）into Chinese ）第1题【正确答案】：我很高兴来到这里与大家一起通过《美国环境之窗》这个节目纪念第一个地球日。
虽然我还没有看过这个电视系列片。
但我通过配套的介绍材料知道这是一个大手笔。
节目制作者采访了很多美国环保运动领袖，从七十年代的早期创始人到当代环保运动的参与者。
// 我确信你们在这里会听到许多不同的观点，因为美国环保运动的多样性正是其强大影响力的部分原因。
个人以及非政府组织能够表达自己的观点并在新闻媒体及选举过程中发表看法，这些正是美国环保运动的基础，也是其至今长盛不衰的原因。
1970年那个地球日仍然让我记忆犹新。
当时我在上小学，那天我和同学们走到室外通过观察学校后面池塘里的生物来了解我们的环境。
那是第一个地球日，口号是“心系全球，从我做起”。
我们年轻的老师希望我们更好地了解周围的环境。
//现在的老师们有各种各样精彩的教材来帮助学生们了解环境，学习诸如生物多样性、气候变化和臭氧层保护等概念。
而在七十年代，这些概念对我们来说仍是陌生的。
但是我们听说过有毒化学物质、荒漠化以及我们那次池塘研究的题目——水污染，还有土地使用问题。
我们当时通过学习去了解这些对我们的未来会产生多大的影响。
//1970年地球日的创意是由个人，而不是政府提出的，因此它依靠其自身的力量发展壮大。
在第一年就有2千万美国人参与到活动中来。
我们说“心系全球”，但那时美国人还没有像现在这样真正的想到美国本土以外的情况。
同样，在1970年的中国，播出一部22集有关美国的电视系列片也是不可想象的。
又过了两年之后，美国总统尼克松访华的画面才在美国的电视里播出，我们才开始有机会相互了解。
//今天，美国和中国在地球日这一天有许多共同的庆祝活动。
