Interpret the following passage from English to Chinese. You will hear this signal to tell you when you start interpreting ）第1题【正确答案】：答案:中国经济一度靠国家投资重工业来维持增长，而目前零售业已日趋成为经济的增长点。
1978年开始的市场经济改革使私人经济不断扩大，而其中很大部分都集中在零售业。
随着改革使消费者的收入日益提高，国家加速了零售业的发展。
服务产业的形成使顾客有时也有了当“上帝”的感觉。
改革前，逛街购物通常意味着对意志的考验，国营商场里那些昏昏欲睡的售货员们卖东西的积极性不高。
货物的质量往往不够好，商品的摆放也是漫不经心。
缺货断货是常有的事，大米、布匹、食用油都要凭票购买。
那样的日子早已一去不复返了。
广义上的零售消费额估计超过4500亿美元，并以每年10％的速度递增。
加上所有商品17％的增值税，零售业已成为国家财政收入的主要来源之一。
自1978年以来，私营经济大规模进入零售业。
国有企业为了降低成本和赢利被迫大批裁减职工。
许多下岗职工进入零售业，不少人经营小卖铺、便利店、服装店、酒吧、餐馆，甚至美容店和干洗店。
国外投资商也大举进入零售市场。
自1992年以来，他们在中国的投资已超过30亿美元。
以家乐福和沃尔玛为首，约300家外资零售商获准在中国设立2200家连锁店。
随着中国的入世，这一发展速度肯定还要加快。
虽然外商在零售总额中只占2—4％，但他们对市场却产生了深远的影响。
外商的存在促使国内零售企业在竞争中不断扩大规模，增强对顾客的吸引力。
新来者为市场带来了大量的商品，原来仅为精英人士和外国富人准备的外国名牌商品，现在也瞄准了中国本地的消费者。

2005年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语试题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 so much to connect different peoples and nations as in 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 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 for Television Production which, on the model of the European Investments 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 “Unit ed 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 varied2006年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语试题Is it true that the American intellectual is rejected and considered of no account in his society? I am going to suggest that it is not true. Father Bruckberger told part of the story when he observed that it is the intellectuals who have rejected America. But they have done more than that. They have grown dissatisfied with the role of intellectual. It is they, not America, who have become anti-intellectual.First, the object of our study pleads for definition. What is an intellectual? 46) I shall define him as an individual who has elected as his primary duty and pleasure in life the activity of thinking in a Socratic (苏格拉底) way about moral problems.He explores such problems consciously, articulately, and frankly, first by asking factual questions, then by asking moral questions, finally by suggesting action which seems appropriate in the light of the factual and moral information which he has obtained. 47) His function is analogous to that of a judge, who must accept the obligation of revealing in as obvious a manner as possible the course of reasoning which led him to his decision.This definition excludes many individuals usually referred to as intellectuals -- the average scientist, for one. 48) I have excluded him because, while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems, he has not been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems.Like other human beings, he encounters moral issues even in the everyday performance of his routine duties -- he is not supposed to cook his experiments, manufacture evidence, or doctor his reports. 49) But his primary task is not to think about the moral code which governs his activity, any more than a businessman is expected to dedicate his energies to an exploration of rules of conduct in business. During most of his waking life he will take his code for granted, as the businessman takes his ethics.The definition also excludes the majority of teachers, despite the fact that teaching has traditionally been the method whereby many intellectuals earn their living. 50) They may teach very well and more than earn their salaries, but most of them make little or no independent reflections on human problems which involve moral judgment.This description even fits the majority of eminent scholars. Being learned in some branch of human knowledge is one thing, living in "public and ill ustrious thoughts,” as Emerson would say, is something else.The study of law has been recognized for centuries as a basic intellectual discipline in European universities. However, only in recent years has it become a feature of undergraduate programs in Canadian universities. (46) Traditionally, legal learning has been viewed in such institutions as the special preserve of lawyers, rather than a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated person.Happily, the older and more continental view of legal education is establishing itself in a number of Canadian universities and some have even begun to offer undergraduate degrees in law.If the study of law is beginning to establish itself as part and parcel of a general education, its aims and methods should appeal directly to journalism educators. Law is a discipline which encourages responsible judgment. On the one hand, it provides opportunities to analyze such ideas as justice, democracy and freedom. (47) On the other, it links these concepts to everyday realities in a manner which is parallel to the links journalists forge on a daily basis as they cover and comment on the news.For example, notions of evidence and fact, of basic rights and public interest are at work in the process of journalistic judgment and production just as in courts of law. Sharpening judgment by absorbing and reflecting on law is a desirable component of a journalist’s intellectual preparation for his or her career.(48) But the idea that the journalist must understand the law more profoundly than an ordinary citizen rests on an understanding of the established conventions and special responsibilities of the news media.Politics or, more broadly, the functioning of the state, is a major subject for journalists. The better informed they are about the way the state works, the better their reporting will be. (49) In fact, it is difficult to see how journalists who do not have a clear grasp of the basic features of the Canadian Constitution can do a competent job on political stories.Furthermore, the legal system and the events which occur within it are primary subjects for journalists. While the quality of legal journalism varies greatly, there is an undue reliance amongst many journalists on interpretations supplied to them by lawyers. (50) While comment and reaction from lawyers may enhance stories, it is preferable for journalists to rely on their own notions of significance and make their own judgments. These can only come from a well-grounded understanding of the legal system.Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.

He points out that he always experienced much difficulty in expressing himself clearly and concisely, but (46) he believes that this very difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long and intently about every sentence, and thus enabling him to detect errors in reasoning and in his own observations.He disclaimed the possession of any great quickness of apprehension or wit, such as distinguished Huxley.(47) He asserted, also, that his power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought was very limited, for which reason he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics.His memory, too, he described as extensive, but hazy. So poor in one sense was it that he never could remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of poetry. (48) On the other hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning.This, he thought, could not be true, because the “Origin of Species”is one long argument from the beginning to the end, and has convinced many able men. No one, he submits, could have written it without possessing some power of reasoning. He was willing to assert that “I have a fair share of invention, and of common sense or judgment, such as every fairly successful lawyer or doctor must have, but not, I believe, in any higher degree.”(49) He adds humbly that perhaps he was “superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully.”Writing in the last year of his life, he expressed the opinion that in two or three respects his mind had changed during the preceding twenty or thirty years. Up to the age of thirty or beyond it poetry of many kinds gave him great pleasure. Formerly, too, pictures had given him considerable, and music very great, delight. In 1881, however, he said: “Now for many years I cannot endure to read a line of poetry. I have also almost lost my taste for pictures or music.” (50) Darwin was convinced that the loss of these tastes was not only a loss of happiness, but might possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character.2009年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.

(10 points)There is a marked difference between the education which every one gets from living with others, and the deliberate educating of the young. In the former case the education is incidental; it is natural and important, but it is not the express reason of the association.46It may be said that the measure of the worth of any social institution is its effect in enlarging and improving experience; but this effect is not a part of its original motive.Religious associations began, for example, in the desire to secure the favor of overruling powers and to ward off evil influences; family life in the desire to gratify appetites and secure family perpetuity; systematic labor, for the most part, because of enslavement to others, etc. 47Only gradually was the by-product of the institution noted, and only more gradually still was this effect considered as a directive factor in the conduct of the institution.Even today, in our industrial life, apart from certain values of industriousness and thrift, the intellectual and emotional reaction of the forms of human association under which the world's work is carried on receives little attention as compared with physical output.But in dealing with the young, the fact of association itself as an immediate human fact, gains in importance.48 While it is easy to ignore in our contact with them the effect of our acts upon their disposition, it is not so easy as in dealing with adults.The need of training is too evident; the pressure to accomplish a change in their attitude and habits is too urgent to leave these consequences wholly out of account. 49Since our chief business with them is to enable them to share in a common life we cannot help considering whether or no we are forming the powers which will secure this ability.If humanity has made some headway in realizing that the ultimate value of every institution is its distinctively human effect we may well believe that this lesson has been learned largely through dealings with the young.50 We are thus led to distinguish, within the broad educational process which we have been so far considering, a more formal kind of education -- that of direct tuition or schooling. In undeveloped social groups, we find very little formal teaching and training. These groups mainly rely for instilling needed dispositions into the young upon the same sort of association which keeps the adults loyal to their group.2010年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试（英语二）46.Directions:In this section there is a text in English .Translate it into Chinese.

历年考研翻译真题汇编详解（2005-2010）2010年真题One basic weakness in a conservation system based wholly on economic motives is that most members of the land community have no economic value. Yet these creatures are members of the biotic community and, if its stability depends on its integrity, they are entitled to continuance.When one of these noneconomic categories is threatened and, if we happen to love it .We invert excuses to give it economic importance. At the beginning of century songbirds were supposed to be disappearing. (46) Scientists jumped to the rescue with some distinctly shaky evidence to the effect that insects would eat us up if birds failed to control them. the evidence had to be economic in order to be valid.It is painful to read these round about accounts today. We have no land ethic yet, (47) but we have at least drawn near the point of admitting that birds should continue as a matter of intrinsic right, regardless of the presence or absence of economic advantage to us.A parallel situation exists in respect of predatory mammals and fish-eating birds. (48) Time was when biologists somewhat over worded the evidence that these creatures preserve the health of game by killing the physically weak, or that they prey only on "worthless" species.Some species of tree have been read out of the party by economics-minded foresters because they grow too slowly, or have too low a sale vale to pay as timber crops. (49) In Europe, where forestry is ecologically more advanced, the non-commercial tree species are recognized as members of native forest community, to be preserved as such, within reason.To sum up: a system of conservation based solely on economic self-interest is hopelessly lopsided. (50) It tends to ignore, and thus eventually to eliminate, many elements in the land community that lack commercial value, but that are essential to its healthy functioning. It assumes, falsely, I think, that the economic parts of the biotic clock will function without the uneconomic parts.46. Scinentists jumped to the rescue with some distinctly shaky evidence to the effect that insects would eat us up if birds failed to control them。

翻译二级笔译实务真题五Section Ⅰ English-Chinese TranslationPart A Compulsory Translation1. Mangoes in Afric（江南博哥）a, as elsewhere, often fall prey to fruit flies, which destroy about 40% of the continent's crop. In fact, fruit flies are so common in African mangoes that America has banned their import altogether to protect its own orchards. African farmers, meanwhile, have few practical means to defend their fruit. Chemical pesticides are expensive. And even for those who can afford them they are not that effective since, by the time a farmer spots an infestation, it is too late to spray.Agricultural scientists have also looked at controlling fruit flies with parasitic wasps. But the most common ones kill off only about one fly in 20, leaving plenty of survivors to go on the rampage. Lethal traps baited with fly-attracting pheromones are another option. But they, too, are expensive. Instead, most farmers simply harvesttheir fruit early, when it is not yet fully ripe. This makes it less vulnerable to the flies, but also less valuable.Farmers whose trees are teeming with worker ants, however, donot need to bother with any of this. In a survey of several orchardsin Benin, Dr van Mele and his colleagues found an average of lessthan one fruit-fly pupa in each batch of 30 mangoes from trees where worker ants were abundant, but an average of 77 pupae in batches from trees without worker ants. The worker ants, it turns out, are very thorough about hunting down and eating fruit flies, as well as a host of other pests.Worker ants have been used for pest control in China and other Asian countries for centuries. The practice has also been adopted in Australia. But Dr van Mele argues that it is particularly suited to Africa since worker ants are endemic to the mango-growing regions of the continent, and little training or capital is needed to put themto work. All you need do is locate a suitable nest and run stringfrom it to the trees you wish to protect. The ants will then quickly find their way to the target. Teaching a group of farmers in Burkina Faso to use worker ants in this way took just a day, according to Dr van Mele. Those farmers no longer use pesticides to control fruit flies, and so are able to market their mangoes as organic to eager European consumers, vastly increasing their income. The ants, so tospeak, are on the march.正确答案：如同其他地区一样，非洲芒果产区也饱受果蝇困扰，果蝇泛滥使芒果减产达40%左右。
2005年CATTI二级《笔译综合能力》模拟试题
2005年CATTI二级《笔译综合能力》模拟试题Part1Summary Writing1.Read the following English passage and then write a Chinese summary of approximately300 words that expresses its main ideas and basic information(40points,50minutes)Deceptively small in column inches,a recent New York Times article holds large meaning for us in business.The item concerned one Daniel Provenzano,38,of Upper Saddle River,N.J.Here is the relevant portion:When he owned a Fort Lee printing company called Advice Inc.,Mr.Provenzano said he found out that a sales representative he employment had stolen$9,000.Mr.Provenzano said he told the man that“if he wanted to keep his employment,I would have to break his thumb.”He said another Advice employee drove the sales representative to Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck,broke the thumb with a hammer outside the hospital,and then had a car service take the man home after the thumb was repaired.Mr.Provenzano explained that he“didn’t want to set an example”that workers could get away with stealing.The worker eventually paid back$4,500and kept his job,he said.I know that you’re thinking:This is an outrage.I,too,was shocked that Provenzano was being prosecuted for his astute management.Indeed,I think his“modest proposal”has a lot to teach managers as they struggle with the problems of our people-centered business environment.Problems such as…. Dealing with the bottom10%.GE made the system famous,but plenty of companies are using it: Every year you get rid of the worst-evaluated workers.Many managers object that this practice is inhumane,but not dealing with that bottom10%leads to big performance problems.Provenzano found a kinder,gentler answer.After all,this employee would have been fired virtually anywhere else.But at Advice Inc.,he stayed on the job.And you know what?I bet he become a very,very —very—productive employee.For most managers Provenzano’s innovative response will be a welcome new addition to their executive tool kit.And by the way,“executive tool kit”is clearly more than just a metaphor at Advice Inc.Being the employer of choice.With top talent scarce everywhere,most companies now want to be their industry’s or their community’s most desirable.Advice Inc.understood.The employee in question wasn’t simply disciplined in his supervisor’s office and sent home.No,that’s how an ordinary employer would have done it.But at Advice Inc.,another employee—the HR manager, perhaps?—took time out his busy day and drove the guy right to the emergency room.And then —the detail that says it all—the company provided a car service to drive the employee home. The message to talented job candidates comes through loud and clear:Advice Inc.is a company that cares.Setting an example to others.An eternal problem for managers is how to let all employees know what happens to those who perform especially well or badly.A few companies actually post everyone’s salary and bonus on their intranet.But pay is so one-dimensional.At Advice Inc.,a problem that would hardly be mentioned at most companies—embezzlement—was undoubtedly the topic of rich discussions for weeks,at least until the employee’s cast came off. Any employee theft probably went way,way—way—down.When the great Roberto Goizueta was CEO of Coca-Cola he used to talk about this problem of setting examples and once observed,“Sometimes you must have an execution in the public square!”But of course he was speaking only figuratively.If he had just listened to his own words,Goizueta might have been an even better CEO.Differentiation.This is one of Jack Welch’s favorite concepts—the idea that managers should treat different employees very differently based on performance.Welch liked to differentiate with salary,bonus,and stock options,but now,in what must henceforth be known as the post-Provenzano management era,we can see that GE’s great management thinker just wasn’t thinking big enough.This Times article is tantalizing and frustrating.In just a few sentences it opens a whole new world of management,yet much more surely remains to be told.We must all urge Provenzano to write a book explaining his complete managerial philosophy.2.Read the following Chinese passage and then write an English summary of approximately250 words that expresses its central ideas and main viewpoints(40points,50minutes)越是对原作体会深刻，越是欣赏原文的每秒，越觉得心长力，越觉得译文远远的传达不出原作的神韵。

Why is free trade said to be universally beneficial? The answer is a doctrine called "comparative advantage".

It was one of those days that the peasant fishermen on thistributaryof theAmazon Riverdream about.
With water levels falling rapidly at the peak of the dry season, a giant school ofbass, a tasty fish thatfetchesa good price at markets, was swimming right into the nets being cast from a dozen smallcanoeshere.
A symbol of abundance to the rest of the world, the Amazon is experiencing a crisis ofoverfishing. As stocks of the most popular speciesdiminishto worrisome levels, tensions are growing betweensubsistencefishermen and their commercial rivals, who are eager toenrich their bottom lineand satisfy the growing appetite for fish of city-dwellers inBraziland abroad.
Buthoveringnearby was a largecommercial fishing vessel, a "mother boat" equipped with largeice chestsfor storage andhaulingmore than a dozen smallercraft. The crew on board was just waiting for theremainderof the fish to move into the river's main channel, where they intended toscoop upas many as they could with their efficientgill nets.
By extension, even if theUnited Statesis efficient both at inventing advanced biotechnologies and at the routine manufacture of medicines,it makes sensefor theUnited Statesto let the production work migrate to countries that can make the stuff more cheaply. Americans get the benefit of the cheaper products and get to spend their resources on even more valuable pursuits, That, anyway, has always been thepremise. But here Samuelsondissents. What if the lower wage country alsocapturesthe advanced industry?
Education is seen as a vital component in the fight against poverty. The battle for better health is another, although it is one that will take longer to win in a country that carries a high burden of disease, includingmalariaand AIDS. Here, the solutions can only arise from a combination of international support and government determination to continue spending public money onpreventivecare and better public health information.
"With a bit of luck, you can make $350 on a day like this," Lauro Souza Almeida, a leader of thelocal fishermen's cooperative,exultedas he moved into position. "That is a fortune for people like us," he said, the equivalent of four months at the minimum wage earned by those fortunate enough to find work.
If enough higher-paying jobs are lost by American workers tooutsourcing（外包）, he calculates, then the gain from the cheaper prices may not compensate for the loss in U.S. purchasing power.
Uganda has alsomade stridesin secondary and higher education, to the point that it is attracting many students from other countries. At the secondary level, enrollment is above 700,000, with theprivate sectorproviding the majorityof schools. For those who want to take their education further, there are 12 private universities in addition to the four publicly funded institutions, together providing 75,000 places.
Topic 2（选题二）
Uganda's eagerness for genuine development is reflected in its schoolchildren's smiles and in the fact that so many children are now going to school. Since 1997, when the government began to provide universal primary education,total primary enrollmenthad risen from 3 million to 7.6 million in 2004. Schools have opened where none existed before, although there is some way to go in reaching the poorest areas of the country.
