专八汉译英

选自《烛光盛宴》第五章作者：蔡素芬

痛苦纠聚心中，眉心发烫发热，胸口郁闷难展，胃里一股气冲喉而上。院长说这孩子发育迟缓时，她更是心头无绪。她在孩子所待的房里来回踱步，这房里还有其他小孩。整个房间只有一扇窗，窗外树影婆娑。就让孩子留下来吧，这里有善心的神父和修女，这里将来会扩充为有医疗作用的看护中心，这是留住孩子最好的地方。这孩子是她的秘密，她将秘密留在这树林掩映的建筑里。

Tortured by the pains gathering in her heart, she felt something was burning betwee n hereyebrows. Her chest was brimmed with depression which was likely to run out of her throat atany moment. She could not think clearly any longer when the headm aster told her that the childsuffered from developmental retardation. She strode up

and down in the room where her childstayed with other pals. There was only one wi ndow in the room, out of which some shady treeswere whispering.

“Just leave it here”, she told herself,

“This is the best choice by far, for thereare kind priests and nuns in this place which may also be renovated into a Medicare center”.The child was her secret which would be kept in the buildings behind the woods.

英译汉

But such policies seem instead to have created the conditions for even more campus violence.Some college students who previously drank in bars and lounges under the watchfulsupervision of bouncers(夜总会，就把等保安人员)（not to mention owners eager to keep theirliquor licenses） now retreat to the sanctuary of their fraternity houses and apartments,where they no longer control their behavior their drinking. The boomerang effect has alsoplayed a role in attempts to reduce the availability of illicit drugs. During recent years, thefederal government has been quite successful in reducing the supply of street drugs. As fieldsare burned and contraband(违禁品) confiscated, the price of street drugs has skyrocketed to apoint where cheap alternatives have begun to compete in the marketplace. Unfortunately, thecheap alternatives are even more harmful than the illicit drugs they replace.

然而上述政策反而引发了更多的校园暴力。一些大学生先前在夜总会的酒吧买醉，处于保安人员严密的监控之下(酒吧老板们为了保住自己卖酒的牌照也不会允许过激的事情发生)。现在，大学生们躲到他们互助会会所和公寓中酗酒,对自己饮酒的数量或行为都不再控制。政府在打击非法毒品方面采取的措施同样适得其反。近年来,联邦政府已经有效地抑制了街头毒品买卖。警方捣毁了很多毒品种植地，没收了违禁品，导致毒品的价格暴涨，那些便宜的替代品因此也有了竞争力。糟糕的是，那些便宜的替换品带来的危害甚至比他们所替代的毒品更大。

作文范文

A recent survey of 2,000 college students asked about their attitudes towards phone calls and textmessaging (also known as Short Service) and found the students? main goal was to pass along information in as little time, with as little small talk, as possibl e. “What they like most about their mobile devices is that they can reach other peopl e,” says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics at American University in Washington , D.C., who conducted the survey. “What they like least is that other people can reac h them.” How far do you agree with Professor Baron? In this first part of your essay y ou should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should supp ort your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what yo u have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary. You should supply an app ropriate title for your essay. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, langua

ge and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

A Mixed Blessing

“We have in our mortal hand a power to destroy poverty and all forms of human life.” John F. Kennedy said in his Inaugural Address some 50 years ago. Indeed, science a nd technology has always been a mixed blessing. The same is true of cell phones, on e of spectacular gadgets ever invented by humans in the past perhaps 100 years or s o. Cell phones have two ambivalent faces, mostly benevolent, lovely and grim, even macabre sometimes. That is exactly what Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics at A merican University in Washington, D.C. described, when he said, “What people like most about their mobile devices is that they can reach other people. What they like l east is that other people can reach them.” Professor Baron?s conclusion cannot be t oo true.

While mobile devices today are facilitating our life in ways unimagined, they pose pr oblems, too. One of these is that our private life can be encroached at any time and place. For example, suppose one is taking hard-

earned holidays at a seaside resort when he receives a call from his boss, who told hi m that something goes wrong with his work or his client runs into trouble. All of a su dden, his pleasure is totally spoiled. At this moment, modern devices of communicati ons show their gloomy and ghastly face. Blockage to such calls can be hardly possible unless you have decided to leave your present job for good.

The second quandary brought about by the mobiles and the Internet is that people a re cut off from contract with one another. This is a paradox. This happens most often in the world of business. With the help of these gadgets, many people stay home on workdays. At the click of their fingers, they can receive and send their work on the N et or cell phones. With a mobile, even their salaries can be automatically credited to their accounts. Few people nowadays stand in line receiving their paychecks. They d on?t have to see people in person to do all these and other things. Economical and c onvenient as it is, people are more isolated from each other.

Regrettably, the gloomy paradoxical aspect of mobiles goes beyond the field of our work. It also happens in our almost every facet of life. Music used to be a very good s ocial event. But now, most people build a wall of music around them by listening to o n-

line music or songs downloaded and saved in their cell phones. Watching a film also becomes a detached process. Modern phones are almost almighty, with which they c an enjoy the latest box hits in the isolation of the living room. They don?t have to go out, let alone joining with friends. Communications in person are saved when, with o mnipotent …i-

phone?, students can learn a lot of subjects alone instead of discussing problems wit h their classmates, friends and brothers and sisters and parents. They even don?t ha ve to go classes to acquire all these things where rich human communication can occ ur.

“Every coin has two sides” is an old cliché. But it applies ideally to the case of cell ph one today. Cell phones, on the one hand, render our life more convenient and enrich our treasure trove of existence. At the same time, however, they stymie our life. The y encroach our privacy and meanwhile, make us reluctant to partake the rich real soc ial life.
