全国外语翻译证书考试英语一级笔译样题第一部分:英译汉Part 1Translation from English into Chinese 3 hoursRead the following three passages.Translate them into Chinese.Write your answers on the answer sheets.You may use additional paper for your draft but you must copy your answers onto the answer sheets.Passage 1You Really Are What You EatEarly in human history, food launched the revolution which introduced social inequality. At first it was a matter of unequal entitlements: some of the earliest known human burials reveal disparities in nourishment. Great heroes of antiquity were heroic eaters, as renowned for their prowess at table as in battle.The next revolution went to the heart of what, to me, global history is all about: long-range exchanges of culture, which happened as the reach of commerce lengthened. Taste is not easily communicable between cultures, yet today we eat high cuisines which call themselves fusion and international.How did it happen? Forces capable of penetrating cultural barriersand internationalising food include war, hunger and imperialism. Cultural magnetism is powerful, too. But no influence equals that of trade, which hovers like a waiter at the table of world food, carrying surprising dishes to unsuspecting diners. Trade in necessarily well travelled productssalt and spiceslong conditioned global politics and determined economic trends. A great leap in the range of world trade in the past 500 years precipitated the next great revolution: an ecological turnaround which made it possible to transplant crops and transfer livestock to new climates.In the past two centuries, world population growth and urbanisation have driven a last revolution, creating a food deficit which only industrialisation could bridge: intensive production, mechanised processing and supply. Even eating was industrialised as mealtimes shifted and food became faster. The results included cheap food in the developing world which went rapidly from sufficiency to obesity. But in parallel, unindustrialised economies experienced the deadliest famines ever known.In partial response, as population figures leapt upwards, late 20th century agronomy forced the pace of production with high-yield grains, chemical fertilisers, pesticides and irrigation. It fed millions who might otherwise have starved. But new solutions usually create new problems: in this case, ecological damage. It is not yet clear whether we have themeans to escape from the worlds food problems, or merely the means of multiplying crisis. The next revolution will probably be a revulsion in favour of traditional agriculture, facilitated by a fall in world population.Passage 2In Defence of GlobalizationTo keep my economist union card, I am required every morning when I arise to place my hand on the leather-bound family heirloom copy of Adam Smiths The Wealth of Nations and swear a mighty oath of allegiance to globalization. I hereby do asseverate my solemn belief that globalization, taken as a whole, is a positive economic force and well worth defending. I also believe that the economic and social effects of globalization are exaggerated by both its detractors andsupporters.In media coverage of anti-globalization protests, globalization often becomes a catch-all term for capitalism and injustice. (Indeed, for some protestors, referring to capitalism and injustice would be redundant.) But economic globalization in fact describes a specific phenomenon: the growth in flows of trade and financial capital across national borders. The trend has consequences in many areas, including sovereignty, prosperity, jobs, wages, and social legislation. Globalization is too important to be consigned to buzzword status.The degree to which national economies are integrated is not at allobvious. It depends on your choice of perspective. During the last few decades, international flows of goods and financial capital have certainly increased dramatically. One snap measure of globalization is the share of economic production destined for sale in other countries.The global tide of economic growth over the last century has not raised all economic ships. But globalization is an avenue through which high-income nations can reach out to low-income ones. Expecting the poorest people in the world to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, without access to foreign investment, training, technical skills, or markets, verges on indifference or cruelty. Foreign aid has its place, but as a matter of practical politics, it will never arrive in sufficient quantities, nor be spent with sufficient wisdom, to raise overall standards of living dramatically in low-income countries. Only a combination of institutional reforms within low-income countries, coupled with much closer connections to the extraordinary resources and buying power of international markets, offers a realistic chance of substantially improving the plight of the poorest people in the world.Passage 3Debt for Nonproliferation:The Next Step in Threat ReductionDebt restructuring and reduction, whereby the terms of a loan are changed or part of a loan is forgiven, are common tools used by creditorsfor a variety of purposes. Wealthier creditor nations, such as the United States, often restructure and reduce debt owed by developing nations in order to bring about positive economic change in a debtor country. Similarly, the private financial sector restructures private debt owed by nations when it makes financial sense to do so. International nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and others have also worked with government and private creditors to use debt reduction to accomplish more philanthropic goals that can benefit both public and private creditors in less tangible ways.Indeed, debt swapsa term used loosely here to denote a creditor forgiving monetary debt in exchange for specific actions by a debtorhave been an effective tool for improving global conditions in a number of ways. The international environmental community, in particular, has been very effective in encouraging and leveraging debt conversion to help meet global environmental objectives since 1984, when the World Wildlife Fund conceived of debt-for-nature swaps. In these exchanges, a portion of a countrys restructured debteither commercial debt or official debt owed another countryis forgiven in return for the debtor dedicating an agreed-upon amount of local currency to an environmental project. Over the last two decades, nearly $1 billion in debt-for-swaps have been implemented.Another important area that would benefit from this relatively newand innovative funding mechanism is nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons proliferation prevention. Since 1992, the United States has directly underwritten about $10 billion in threat reduction activities in Russia and the former Soviet Union, but the situation demands even greater investment. Russias financial problems and security needs, which demand the formation of a sustainable Russian infrastructure to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction after direct U.S. assistance stops, both argue for increased involvement by other industrialized nations and the private sector. Debt-for-nonproliferation swaps are potentially powerful tools that could leverage current conditions to reduce further the security threat from Russias weapons infrastructure.第二部分:汉译英Part 2Translation from Chinese into English 3 hoursRead the following three passages.Translate them into English.Write your answers on the answer sheets.You may use additional paper for your draft but you must copy your answers onto the answer sheets.Passage 1在中国发展高层论坛开幕式上的致辞节选中国的发展离不开世界,世界的发展也离不开中国。

2019年翻译考试一级口译段落练习题1中国政府把环境保护作为一项基本国策。

保护环境关系到我国现代化建设的全局和长远发展,是造福当代、惠及子孙的事业。

坚持保护环境的基本国策,深入实施可持续发展战略;坚持预防为主、综合治理,全面推进、重点突破,着力解决危害人民群众健康的突出环境问题;坚持创新体制机制,依靠科技进步,强化环境法治,发挥社会各方面的积极性。

我国环境保护取得了积极进展,环境污染和生态破坏加剧的趋势减缓,部分流域区域污染治理取得初步成效,部分城市和地区环境质量有所改善,工业产品的污染排放强度有所下降。

【参考译文】The Chinese government regards environmental protection as a basic national policy. Environmental protection not only has a bearing on the overall situation of China’s modernization drive and its long-term development, but also constitutes an undertaking which will benefit the Chinese people of today and their descendents. Sticking to environmental protection as a basic national policy, Chinese government has deeply implemented sustainable strategies for development. Adhering to the principle of comprehensive control with the emphasis on prevention, entire push-on with breakthroughs in key areas, Chinese government has made great efforts to solve those striking environmental problems threatening people’s health. It has persisted in institutional innovation, relied on technologicaladvances, strengthened the role of law in environmental protection and brought into full play the initiative of various sectors of the society. Thanks to the achievements in our environmental protection, the trend toward aggravated environmental pollution and ecological destruction has slowed down, pollution control in some river basins has achieved some initial success, the environmental quality of some cities and regions has improved to some extent, and the extent of pollution discharge of industrial products has lessened.2019年翻译考试一级口译段落练习题2The task of writing a history of our nation from Rome's earliest days fills me, I confess, with some misgiving , and even were I confident in the value of my work, I should hesitate to say so.I am aware that for historians to make extravagant claims is, and always has been, all too common: every writer on history tends to look down his nose at his less cultivated predecessors, happily persuaded that he will better them in points of style, or bring new facts to light. Countless others have written on this theme and it may be that I shall pass unnoticed amongst them; if so, I must comfort myself with the greatness and splendor of my rivals, whose work will rob my own of recognition.My task, moreover, is an immensely laborious one. I shall have to go back more than seven hundred years, and trace my story from its small beginnings up to these recent times when its ramifications are so vast that any adequate treatment is hardly possible. I shall find antiquity a rewarding study, if only because, while I am absorbed in it, I shall be able to turn my eyes from the troubles which for so long have tormented the modern world, and to write without any of that over-anxious consideration which may well plague a writer on contemporary life, even if it does not lead him to conceal the truth.【参考译文】我忙着写一段从罗马建立伊始我们国家的历史,我承认,而且还有点担忧,即使我对我工作的价值充满信心,我仍然不敢这么说。

翻译考试一级口译段落练习题What today’s global market economy teaches many of us who are involved in political life, is that even when they are inconvenient, the laws of economics, like the laws of physics, cannot be repealed for the convenience of governments. The economic principles for national success are as difficult to implement as they are easy to state. There is a paradox in all our countries at this moment. Just as a new global economy creates more to look forward to than ever before, it also brings more uncertainty and more change to worry about than ever before. That is why the challenge of crafting economic policy in your country as in mine is one of balance. A balance between moving toward necessary objectives and maintaining stability. A balance between responding to global realities and upholding domestic traditions. And a balance between the virtues of competition as the best known motivator and driver of success, and the importance of cohesion and cooperation assources of strength for our societies. These balances will have to be struck and calibrated every year in every country in this new global economy. These measures are what one might call the intangible infrastructure of a modern market economy.【参考译文】我们许多从政者可以从当今全球市场经济中得到这样的启示,那就是经济学法则就像物理学法则一样,有一定的规律,即使当它们会引起诸多不便的时候,也不能为了政府的一时之便而朝令夕改。

最新翻译资格考试一级口译练习没有人爬山只为爬到山腰。

为何甘于平庸呢。

【参考译文】本书向我们展示了一个杰出美国人的成长历程。

他精力充沛,通过艰苦卓绝的努力,从阿肯色州的霍普镇走到了白宫,完成了一段不可思议的人生历程。

他一生的每一阶段都展示出对政治生涯的狂热追求,正是这种追求鼓舞着他走完这段历程:在大学期间,他已经是参议员威廉·富尔布莱特的实习生;在牛津大学,他成为反运动的一份子;在耶鲁大学法学院,他参与民主党候选人的基层选举;回到阿肯色州,他竞选过州议会议员,司法部长直至州长。

他有着坚毅的决心要改善同胞们的生活,他致力于民权运动,矢志不渝,他对于如何运用政治权力有着超乎常人的深刻理解,这一切成为他职业生涯的闪光点,有目共睹。

我们日益了解到他青少年时期所遭受的情感波折:他是父亲去世后降临人世的遗腹子;母亲含辛茹苦,但喜好争吵,继父动辄打骂,他成长在两人岌岌可危的婚姻关系之中;他被一位才华横溢、令人折服的女士所倾倒,下定决心与她步入婚姻殿堂;他从女儿出生起就疼爱有加,尽心尽力地做一个好父亲;青少年时期压抑的痛苦使他后来偶尔作出一些不利的行为,这样逐渐深入的了解也颇令人感伤。

他在父亲的教导下“发愤用功”,其实他读书还是出于喜好,只似馋嘴佬贪吃美食:食肠很大,不择精粗,甜咸杂进。

极俗的书他也能看得哈哈大笑。

戏曲里的插科打诨,他不仅且看且笑,还一再搬演,笑得打跌。

精微深奥的哲学、美学、文艺理论等大部著作,他像小儿吃零食那样吃了又吃,厚厚的书一本本渐次吃完,诗歌更是他喜好的读物。

重得拿不动的大词典、辞典、百科全书等,他不仅挨着字母逐条细读,见了新版本,还不嫌其烦的把新条目增补在旧书上。

他看书常做些笔记。

【参考译文】光阴似箭,转眼中国加入世贸组织已经整整4年。

4年来,中国加入世贸绝大多数承诺都已兑现,部分承诺的兑现甚至走在规定的时间表之内。

在世贸成员关心的知识产权问题上,中国启动法律修改工程,查处大批侵权案件,这些努力均取得了显著成效。

一级口译试题一级口译试题可能因考试机构、考试级别和考试科目的不同而有所差异。

一般来说,一级口译试题会测试考生的听力理解、语言表达、逻辑分析、记忆能力、组织能力、跨文化交际能力等。

以下是一份模拟一级口译试题,供您参考:口译模拟试题段落口译:请将以下中文段落口译成英文:随着全球化和信息化的深入发展,国际交流与合作日益频繁。

翻译作为跨文化交际的桥梁,其重要性不言而喻。

在国际贸易、外交、科技、文化等领域中,翻译发挥着越来越重要的作用。

随着中国经济的快速发展和国际地位的提升,对翻译人才的需求也日益增长。

因此,培养高水平的翻译人才是当前的重要任务。

随着人工智能技术的发展,机器翻译已经在一定程度上取代了传统的人工翻译。

然而,机器翻译在处理复杂的语言结构和文化背景时还存在很多局限性和不足之处。

因此,人工翻译在未来仍将发挥不可替代的作用。

为了提高翻译质量和效率,我们需要不断学习和掌握新的翻译技巧和方法,同时注重跨文化交际能力的培养。

In the era of globalization and information technology, international communication and cooperation are becoming increasingly frequent. Translation, as a bridge of cross-cultural communication, plays an increasingly important role in areas such as international trade, diplomacy, science and technology, and culture. With the rapid development of China's economy and the improvement of its international status, the demand for translation talents is also growing. Therefore, cultivating high-level translation talents is currently an important task.With the development of artificial intelligence technology, machine translation has already replaced traditional human translation to some extent. However, machine translation still has many limitations and shortcomings in dealing with complex language structures and cultural backgrounds. Therefore, human translation will still play an irreplaceable role in the future. To improve translation quality and efficiency, we need to constantly learn and master new translationskills and methods, while focusing on cultivating cross-cultural communication skills.。

I became fatherless at the age of 3 when my father died and emperorless at school age when the emperorwas dethroned. Fatherless and emperorless, I wasespecially filial and respectful to my mother. In my childhood, I read the Book of Songs, making no effort to understand the meaning thoroughly.

In the prime of my life, I roved hither and thither/ went from one place to another, earning a living by teaching.

At 27, I made a determined effort to write books. Having achieved no success/ got nowhere with sciences and philosophy, I turned to fiction writing merely to amuse my readers, which is no big feat / did not amount to much. I got married at the age of 34. Now I have a son and a daughter. They are both naughty and lovable. Though an extensive reader withough much gains, I am not upset.

Nothing has cemented French influence in theworld like the decision made by the victorious World War II powers in 1945 to include France as one of the five permanent,veto-wielding members of the Security Council. Until the end of the Cold War, France rarely found itself in disagreement with Britain or the U.S. on major issues. But the U.N. veto today takes on larger significance as France struggles to decide whether it wants to lead the European Union in defiance of American power or in partnership with it.As Americas great media outlets have begun preparing for coverage of the D-Day celebrations, the question of a "grand gesture" by the French toward the American war in Iraq has been raised. Administration officials hint that, perhaps, just perhaps, the French President will use the occasion of Frances rescue as an opportunity to square the accounts — to issue a blanket endorsement of Americas plan for Iraqs future and throw its support behind the transfer of power looming at the end of the month. France certainly wants the United States to be successful in Iraq at this point. But France seems unlikely to see D-Day as an opportunity to make good on a 60-year-old debt. Beyond nice speeches and some truly fine cuisine, dont expect France to liberate America from Iraq.翻译资格考试一级口译练习The book shows us the progress of a remarkable American, who, through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House---a journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process which manifested itself at every stage of his life: in college, working as an intern for Senator William Fulbright; at Oxford, becoming part of the Vietnam War protest movement; at Yale Law School, campaigning on the grassroots level for Democratic candidates; back in Arkansas, running for Congress, attorney general, and governor.We see his career shaped by his resolute determination to improve the life of his fellow citizens, an unfaltering commitment to civil fights, and an exceptional understanding of the practicalities of political life.We come to understand the emotional pressures of hisyouth--born after his fathers death; caught in the dysfunctional relationship between his feisty, nurturing mother and his abusive stepfather, drawn to the brilliant, compelling lady whom he was determined to marry; passionately devoted, from her infancy, to their daughter, and to the entire experience of fatherhood; slowlyand painfully beginning to comprehend how his early denial of pained him at times into damaging patterns of behavior.【参考译文】本书向我们展示了一个杰出美国人的成长历程。

但是如今,情况却未必如此。

从今年九月起,一些学生会发现读一个哈佛大学的学位比许多公立大学的还要便宜。

去年十二月,哈佛官员详细阐述了一项新的财政资助政策,对于年收入不高于180000美元的家庭,只收取其中的10%作为学费。

绝大多数学生的家庭经济条件一般,本来每年要缴纳45600多美元的学费,对他们而言,这可谓一份厚礼,整个学术界为之震动。

近年来,美国的精英大学纷纷出台财政资助政策,相互之间打得不可开交,哈佛大学的这一举措只是其中最新的一项。

尽管哈佛开出的条件是迄今最优厚的,普林斯顿、耶鲁和斯坦福都出台了类似的计划,来降低中低收入家庭的学生所需支付的学费。

而且,由于过去五年里采用的免贷款计划,如今几乎每一所常春藤盟校里接受资助的学生都很可能无债一身轻地毕业。

其它收费昂贵的学校纷纷效仿,取消了贷款,发放助学金和勤工俭学补助。

今年秋天,还有几所学校会加入这个“无贷款俱乐部”。

更多的学校都已采取措施,为最需要资助的学生减少债务。

翻译考试一级口译段落练习题中译英人们通常喜欢听好听的话,一听到拂耳之言就容易产生不悦甚至愠怒。

一个人特别是身居要职的人要能够心悦诚服地倾听逆耳之良言并从中获得智慧,就需要一种容忍和大度的雅量,而这往往依赖于人们的心性修养和对人性缺陷的克制;否则,就会给那些善于运用花言巧语和投其所好的人提供可乘之机,并伤害那些直言不讳的忠诚之人。

在理智上,人们大概愿意接受“兼听则明,偏信则暗”、“忠言逆耳利于行”等一类古老的真理,或者乐于信服老子说的“美言不信,信言不美”的哲理。

但在行为上,人们又时常背离这些古训,不愿意听或听不进“逆耳”之言,”最终犯下严重的过失。

【参考译文】We tend to hear words pleasant to the ear but have displeasure and resentment at words harsh to the ear. A man, especially one occupying an important position, needs tolerance and magnanimity to lend an ear to truthful yet offensive words with heartfelt admiration so as to gain wisdom from them, and those qualities can be only cultivated through the nurturing of the soul and the restraint in human weaknesses. Otherwise, opportunities are exploited to the advantage of those with sweet words on the lips to tickle the ear of others, only to hurt those loyal people outspoken in their remarks.Intellectually, we are probably willing to believe in the ancient truths that we’ ll be enlightened if we listen to both sides and we will be benighted if we heed only one side, that honest advice, though unpleasant to the ear, benefits conduct. Also, we are delightfully convinced of Laotzi’s philosophy that true words are not embellished and the embellished words are not true. However, in our behaviours, we tend to depart from those estabilished maxims, reluctant to accept and follow those uncomfortable truths until eventually grave errors are committed.翻译考试一级口译段落练习题回顾过去,东亚地区发生了深刻变化,取得了巨大进步。

展望未来,我们可以满怀信心地说,推功东亚经济和社会发展达到新的水平,已经具备了比较良好的条件。

In retrospect, profound changes and tremendous progress have taken place in East Asia. Looking ahead, we can say with full confidence that relatively sound conditions exist for East Asia to raise its economic and social development to a new level.维护地区的和平与稳定,发展经济科技,扩大互利合作,促进共同繁荣,成为东亚各国的共识。

东亚国家致力于在相互尊重、平等相待、互不干涉内政的基础上发展相互关系,通过友好协商妥善处理存在的某些分歧。

东亚政局稳定,国家关系良好。

这为东亚各国保持经济持续增长,发展经济合作,创造了重要的前提条件。

It has become the shared understanding of East Asian countries to maintain regional peace and stability, develop the economy, science and technology, expand mutually beneficial cooperation, and promote common prosperity. East Asian countries are committed to the development of their relations on the basis of mutual respect, treating one another as equals andnon-interference in one another’s internal affairs and p roperly addressing some existing differences through friendly consultations.With political stability, East Asian countries enjoy good relations among themselves. This has provided an important prerequisite for the sustained economic growth of East Asian countries and the development of their economic cooperation.东亚国家具有相当的经济实力,有的进入了发达阶段,有的踏上了新兴工业化的航程,有的正在步入快速发展的行列。
