Towed into position they would then be sunk. foundtion of cst concrete would lrecly be in pice on the se- bed. Pylons would ttch the structures to this. Once in position the structures would be pumped dry.

历年高级口译考题翻译部分精解第一套英译中Since Darwin, biologists have been-firmly convinced that nature works without plan or meaning, pursuing no aim by the direct road of design. But today we see that this conviction is a fatal error. Why should evolution, exactly as Darwin knew it and described it, be planless and irrational? Do not aircraft design engineers work, at precisely that point where specific calculations and plans give out, according to the same principle of evolution, when they test the serviceability of a great number of statistically determined forms in the wind tunnel, in order to choose the one that functions best? Can we say that there is no process of natural selection when nuclear physicists, through thousands of computer operations, try to find out which materials, in which combinations and with what structural form, are best suited to the building of an atomic reactor? They also practise no designed adaptation, but work by the principle of selection. But it would never occur to anyone to call their method planless and irrational.中译英1995年10月,黄浦江上又一座大桥凌空飞架,将浦南与奉贤连接起来,成为继徐浦、南浦、杨浦三座大桥之后建成通车的第四座大桥——奉浦大桥。

上海高级口译考试口试阶段口译真题

上海高级口译考试(2009年春季)Part 1: English-Chinese InterpretingPassage 1Today, I shall make a direct give-and-take with everyone present, who is among the elite group in IT industry. First, mutually beneficial economic cooperation of China and America pushes forward the IT industry to a win-win situation for both countries. Secondly the Sino-US trade cooperation is highly complementary. The entry of US capital and technology into China brought along the investment of international capital. And China’s rapid development brings abundant returns for foreign-invested enterprises. //Enjoying general common ground and solid foundation of cooperation, under the five principles of Sino-American fair trade and economic cooperation, China is willing to deepen and widen our cooperation to push forward the rapid development of IT industry in both countries. We welcome more American companies to set up joint ventures in China, and Chinese government will devote itself to creating a favorable investment environment for bilateral cooperation.Passage 2This is a defining moment in our history. We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression - 760,000 workers have lost their jobs these years. Businesses and families can’t get credit. Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing. Wages are lower than they’ve been in a decade. At a moment like this, we can’t afford four more years of spending increases, poorly designed tax cuts, or the complete lack of regulatory oversight of financial mechanism that even former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan now believes was a mistake. //If there’s one thing we’ve learned from this economic crisis, it’s that we are all in this together. From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other’s success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers. So will create two million new jobs by rebuilding our infrastructure. We’ll invest in renewable energy, creating five million new, green jobs that pay well, and can help end our dependence on Middle East Oil. //Part 2: Chinese-English InterpretingPassage 1欢迎各位参观我国东部最大的博物馆——华东博物馆。

上海市高级口译笔试汉译英题型五年真题解析(2003-2007)2007年9月试题原文根据网文《上海男人与上海女人》改编而成。
【原文】据说,上海男人是最好丈夫。
他们总是知道该如何讨妻子的欢心,从而避免了矛盾,一家人其乐融融。
所以从某种程度上讲,上海男人是社会安定和谐的象征。
当妻子快乐时,他也快乐,因而整个城市也充满了快乐气氛。
虽然上海男人被戏谑为“妻管严”,但他并不屈从于妻子。
在与妻子有争议时,他要么保持沉默,要么一笑置之。
有时候他会发火,但事后不久,他也会毫不迟疑地道歉。
最终他妻子发现,她还是按照他的想法行事。
上海男人聪明、务实,有时也相当圆滑。
最令人印象深刻的是,上海男人在事业上有进取心,对家庭有很强的责任感,而且尊重女性。
【参考译文】Shanghai men are said to be the best of husbands. Theyknow how to win the favor of their wives and avoid conflicts so that happiness pervades their families. Shanghai men can be regarded as thesymbol of social security and harmony. They are joyful whenever theirwives are, thus filling the whole city of Shanghai with happiness.Shanghai men are jokingly called hen-pecked husbands. However,they will never yield to their wives but remain silent or smile away the quarrels. And they will apologize without hesitation shortly after they losetheir temper, which is a rarity. Finally, their wives find themselvescomplying with what their husbands say.Shanghai men are smart and practical and even slippery, but whatimpresses most is that they are aggressive in their career and responsibleto their families and respectful to females.【评析】1. 首句可以用It is said that.译出。
2. 前两句可以合并译为一句,即Shanghai men,who are said to be thebest of husbands,know how to win the favor of their wives and avoid conflicts so that happiness pervades their families.3. “讨..的欢心”亦可译为win sb..s heart。
4. “社会安定”宜译为social stability。
5. “快乐气氛”亦可译为felicity。
6. 用smile away翻译“一笑置之”很妥当,另举两例:smile away one.s embarrassment 以微笑解除窘态Smile your tears away. 笑笑吧,别哭了。
此外还可换用dismiss sth. with a laugh/smile或laugh off(to pretend that sth. is less serious than it really is by laughing or joking about it)。
7. “发火”的表达方式有多种,除lose temper之外,还有get angry、flare up、hit the ceiling、fly into a rage和go through the roof等多种。
8. “毫不迟疑地”除可用without hesitation之外,亦可用unhesitatingly。
9.“务实”宜译为pragmatic(dealing with problems in a sensible, practical way instead of strictly following a set of ideas)。
10. “圆滑”亦可译为smooth and wily、slick and sly或tactful。
11. “有进取心”亦可译为enterprising(Someone who is enterprising shows the ability to think of new things to do and has an eagerness to do them)。
12. “女性”亦可译为the fair sex。
