PART 11 TRANSLATION OF TEXTS (120 MIN)、SECTION A ENGLISH TO CHINESE (60 POINTS)Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on the answer sheet.World food prices are pushing higher—the United Nations overall food index shows a 28.3% annual increase, with cereals up 44.1%—sparking concerns that a new food crisis may be emerging, just three years after the last one. Does this mean the world is running out of food?
The quick answer is that the world does seem to be running low on cheap food. This supply shortage stems from the failure of governments and donors over nearly three decades to fund the basic agricultural research, investments in rural infrastructure, and training for smallholder farmers necessary to push out the productivity frontier.
Until recently, world food crises have been relatively rare events—occurring about three times a century, usually three to four decades apart. The food crisis of 2007-08, although scary at the time, was relatively mild by comparison. Prices for wheat, rice and maize—the staple foods that provide well over half the world population’s energy intake directly and a good deal more indirectly via livestock products—rose96.7% between 2006 and 2008, not approaching the spikes in the mid-1970s when corrected for inflation.Yet here we are just a few years later, talking about food prices again.(选自 failed policies lead to food shortages mtizt.com注)
参考译文:全球粮食价格持续飙升,联合国粮食总指标显示, 粮食价格年均上涨28.3%,其中谷类上涨44.1%, 这引发人们对可能会出现的新一轮粮食危机的担忧,尽管距离上一次粮食危机仅三年。难道这意味着全球粮食将要耗尽了吗?
表面上看,出现这种担忧的确是因为世界 的廉价粮食正在不断减少。 出现食品短缺源于近三十年来各国政府和投资 者对基础农业科研和农村基础设施的投资不足, 以及对小农培训的不力,而这种培训对于推动 生产力前沿的发展是必不可少的。
直到最近,全球粮食危机的现象还是相对 罕见的,大概一个世纪发生3次,通常相隔 30到40年。尽管07到08年的那次粮食危机引起很大恐慌,但相对现在而言还是比较轻微的。小麦、大米、玉米为世界大半人口直接提供能量 摄入以及人们间接通过以其为原料的农畜产品来 获得更多的能量摄入。这些主食价格在2006年到 2008年期间上涨了96.7%,但是还没达到20世纪 70年代中期的顶峰——通货膨胀被调整后的那段 时期。然而仅仅过了几年,粮食价格再次引起了 人们的热议。
SECTION B CHINESE TO ENGLISH (60 POINTS)Translate the following text into English Write your translation on the answer sheet.微笑,是个很奇妙的东西,它既反应一个现象,又反应一种事物。
我们所讲的微笑,是发自内心的诚挚和善良的笑容,而不是为讨好别人的媚笑,也不是存心不良的奸笑或皮笑肉不笑,更不是带有杀机的笑里藏刀。这就是说,微笑者都有健康的心理、乐观的情绪和坚定的信念。而一个人只有热爱生活、热爱工作、热爱民众,才会在脸上浮现出永不消失的微笑。
微笑,永远是微笑者个人的专利,它既不能租,又不能买;既不能借,又不能偷。它能使某些人之间的生疏变成亲密,使某些人之间的隔阂变成融洽,它能代失意为顺意, 代烦恼为愉快;它能使人们心灵沟通,感情交融……
微笑,凝聚着内心的纯洁无私,召唤着友谊与情感的到来,消化着矛盾与不快。微笑是无声的,但又胜似有声。微笑把一具心灵传递给另一具心灵。古人说:笑口常开、笑古笑今、万事一笑了之。我们可以理解为:带着微笑的赞扬,使人感到诚心,能催人奋进;带着微笑的批评,使人感到善意,能促人进步;带着微笑的拒绝。使人感到理解,能帮人走出困境;带着微笑的请求,使人感到亲切,能帮人攻关。
微笑是光明的,微笑的世界是文明的世界。愿每一个人都多一点微笑,少一点忧愁。(选自散文Let There Be More Smiles 多一点微笑 mtizt.com注)
参考译文:Smile is intricate, for it is not only a phenomenon but also a reflection of something.
What we refer to here is a sincere and good-natured smile that comes from the bottom of one’s heart. We do not mean a smile specially put on to please others, or a false one harbouring a sinister design,much less a grin with murderous intent behind. That is to say, a smiler should be mentally sound, optimistic and firm in faith. Only when a person has a strong love for life, for his work and his people, can he or she always wear a smile.
Smile is inseparable from its owner, for it can neither be rented nor bought, neither borrowed nor stolen. It symbolizes the person’s mind and serves many purposes:bringing strangers? closer to each other,8 turning estrangement into reconciliation, giving hope to the disappointed and replacing vexation with joy. It opens channels from heart to heart so that feelings can flow reciprocally…
Embodying purity and selflessness, smile calls for friendship and affection. It causes antagonism and displeasure to dissolve. Its soundlessness is even better than utterance in communicating between minds. The ancients said to a grinning Buddha statue: “ Always grinning you look at things past and present, and laugh them off whatever they are. ” What is meant by a smile can be understood this way: a compliment given with a smile represents a sincere encouragement to the addressee for further efforts, while criticism with a smile is likely to be accepted as meaning well and helpful to his progress. A smiling refusal which causes no embarrassment contributes to mutual understanding while a smiling request, which appeals irresistibly, does a great deal to help tackle knotty problems.
Where there is smile, there is light. A smiling world is a civilized one. Let there be more smiles and less worries.
