II Passage Translatron (120 points)Section One: Translate the following English passage into Chinese. Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET (60 points).Pursuing the goals while managing the risks
Improved client services—that will ultimately help the World Bank Group deliver on
its goals—can only happen within a strong risk management culture and framework
that preserves the Bank Group’s reputation and financial sustainability in an increasingly
uncertain and challenging environment. The Bank Group’s approach involves
actively taking, while carefully managing, risks in pursuing its objectives. It seeks to
ensure that risks are adequately assessed, measured, monitored, and reported so
that corrective action, if necessary, can be taken in a timely manner and impacts
mitigated. As the environment changes and as new risks emerge, this process will
evolve.
The Bank Group faces a variety of risks related to development impacts, environmental
and social safeguards, integrity, and financial management. It manages them
through a customized risk rating and regular monitoring system as well as through
engagement with clients. It manages other risks, including financial and operational
risks, using leading industry practices and standards adapted to the Bank Group’s
purposes.
The external challenges are many. They include a low interest rate environment,
which affects income; the impact of low oil prices on some country clients; geopolitical
tensions, which affect some of the Bank Group’s areas of operation; the risks
of economic slowdown, which are facing some developing countries; and policy
normalization in developed markets, which can heighten volatility in currencies and
capital flows to some emerging market economies. Finally, the Bank Group continues
to face operational risks, including the growing threat of data and information
security breaches and external events that can impact business continuity and the
physical security of its staff.
As both a development and a financial institution, the World Bank Group faces
special challenges in the current environment. Initiatives in 2015 on financing for
development, the Sustainable Development Goals, and climate change will affect
the development agenda for years to come. The emergence of new multilateral
development institutions creates both opportunities and challenges for creative
partnerships and requires fresh thinking about the financial structure of the World
Bank Group.
These changes are occurring against a backdrop of major internal organizational
reform and an uncertain external environment. Internal reform is being stabilized,
although the impact on staff and program delivery still needs to be carefully managed.
Budgeting effectively and securing resources for financial sustainability will
also be key components of building stability.(选自 World Bank Annual Report 2015 mtizt.com注)

B. Render the following passage into English (50 points):
对加强海上合作的积极行动,我们会倾力支持;对破坏南海和平稳定的挑衅行为,我们会果断回应。中国人历来讲求“以德报德,以直报怨”,我们重情义,不会亏待朋友;我们讲原则,坚定维护根本立场。
我们应维护和平发展的大环境, 打造亚洲责任共同体。地区动荡是祸,周边稳定是福。
在经济全球化背景下,亚洲各国的发展,不可能独善其身,也不应该是“零和博弈”,而是你中有我、我中有你的互利合作,能产生“一加一大于二”的叠加效应,甚至是“二乘二大于四”的乘数效应。
“区域全面经济伙伴关系协定”(RCEP)是亚洲地区参与成员最多、规模最大的贸易协定谈判,是对既有成熟自贸区的整合。RCEP具有较强的包容性,符合亚洲产业结构、经济模式和社会传统实际,采取循序渐进方式,兼顾成员国不同发展水平,不排斥其他区域贸易安排。 (李克强总理在博鳌亚洲论坛2014年年会开幕式上的主旨演讲 mtizt.com注)
We will give full support to initiatives that help strengthen maritime cooperation. We will not accept acts that undermine stability in the South China Sea. We Chinese believe in repaying kindness with kindness and meeting wrongdoing with justice. We value friendship and never treat friends unfairly, and we also stand by principles and firmly uphold our fundamental position.
we should maintain the general environment of peaceful development and build an Asian community of shared responsibilities. Regional turbulence courts disaster while stability in the neighborhood brings prosperity.
In the age of economic globalization, no Asian countries can achieve development in isolation from each other, still less can they pursue development as a “zero-sum game”. Rather, with our interests closely entwined, we the Asian countries need to seek mutually beneficial cooperation where “one plus one can make more than two” and even produces a multiplying effect in which “two plus two makes more than four”.
The negotiation on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is the largest trade agreement negotiation with the most extensive participation in East Asia, and the RCEP is integration of existing mature free trade areas. Being highly inclusive and based on Asia’s industrial structure, economic model and social tradition, the RCEP is a phased-in arrangement that accommodates member countries at different levels of development, and it does not exclude other regional trading arrangements.
