2008年考研翻译强化练习

作者:唐静    文章来源:新东方    点击数:    更新时间:2009/10/6

  这是89年的试题。需要说明的有以下几点:

1.当年的试题是八个句子,满分为20分,各个句子的分数不等。而现在考研翻译只考五个句子,分数相等。

2.有朋友说,89年的试题和现在的真题难度可能不一致。是这样的。但是,并不影响我们做翻译练习。我们目前只把这些画线句子当作“强化练习”,而不是“模拟考试”。所以,是比较有用的。

  至于89年和现在考研翻译句子的变化如何,我将在“研究生招生制度以来的考研翻译试题发展状况和命题趋势分析”的第二部分中,详细分析。

3.喜欢做的同学,请直接跟帖在后面。大约一周以后,在参与练习的同学中,我将找出前4名和最后4名参与者,修改你们的译文,并告诉你的翻译错误在哪,怎么提高你的翻译能力。那就试试吧。

When Jane Mathesen started work at Advanced Electronics Inc. 12 years ago, she laboured over a microscope, hand-welding tiny electronic computers and turned out 18 per hour. (61) How she tends the computerized machinery that turns out high capacity memory chips at the rate of 2,600 per hour. Production is up, profits are up, her income is up and Mrs. Mathesen says the work is far less strain on her eyes.

But the most significant effect of the changes at AEI was felt by the workers who are no longer there. Before the new computerized equipment was introduced, there were 940 workers at the plant. Now there is 121.A plant follow-up survey showed that one year after the layoffs only 38% of the released workers found new employment at the same or better wages. (62) Nearly half finally settled for lower pay and more than 13% are still out of work. The AEI example is only one of hundreds around the country which forge intelligently ahead into the latest technology, but leave the majority of their workers behind. Its beginnings obscured by unemployment caused by the world economic slow-down, the new technological unemployment may emerge as the great socio-economic challenge of the end of the 20th century. (63) One corporation economist says the growth of "machine job replacement" has been with us since the beginning of the industrial revolution, but never at the pace it is now. The human costs will be astonishing.” It’s humiliating to be done out of your job by a machine and there is no way to fight back, but it is the effort to find a new job that really hurts." (64) Some workers, like Jane Mathesen, are retrained to handle the new equipment, but often a whole new set of skills is required and that means a new, and invariably smaller set of workers. The old workers, trapped by their limited skills, often never regain their old status and employment. (65) Many drift into marginal areas. They feel no pride in their new work. They get badly paid for it and they feel miserable, but still they are luckier than those who never find it. The social costs go far beyond the welfare and unemployment payments made by the government. Unemployment increases the chances of divorce, child abuse, and alcoholism, a new federal survey shows. (66) Some experts say the problem is only temporary....that new technology will eventually create as many jobs as it destroys. But futurologist Hymen Seymour says the astonishing efficiency of the new technology means there will be a simple and direct net reduction in the amount of human labor that needs to be done. (67) "We should treat this as an opportunity to give people more leisure. It may not be easy, but society will have to reach a new unanimity on the division and distribution of labor," Seymour says. He predicts most people will work only six-hour days and four-day weeks by the end of the century. But the concern of the unemployed is for now. Federally funded training and free back-to-school program's for laid-off workers are under way, but few experts believe they will be able to keep up with the pace of the new technology. (68) For the next few years, for a substantial portion of the workforce, times are going to be very tough indeed.
