2017年初級翻譯資格考試經典練習題及答案
英譯漢
The biggest problem of the third industrial revolution is as easy to explain as it is difficult to solve. Technology is creating a global economy that is rapidly supplanting our old national economies. National governments cannot control this new economy, yet no one, least of all Americans, wants to create the form of global government that might be able to control it. As a result we were going to be living in a fundamentally unmanaged economic system. The difficulties of containing the 1997 Asian economic meltdown are just the first of many such difficulties we can expect.
National governments, which used to worry about managing and maintaining their economic systems, are slowly being pushed out of business. Changes in global finance overwhelm all but the largest governments. Governments have lost much of their influence over the movement of information and capital. They cannot control who crosses their borders either physically or culturally.
Conversely, the power of global businesses is growing with companies' ability to move to the most advantageous locations and play countries off against one another in bidding for attractive investment projects.
【參考譯文】
要理解第三次工業革命中出現的最嚴峻的問題并非難事，可是要解決它卻十分困難。技術革命形成經濟全球化，這一模式正在迅速取代舊有的民族經濟。雖然各國政府在控制這一新的經濟形式上力不從心，然而，沒有哪個國家愿意攜起手來，合力對付它，美國就更不用說了。結果我們只好生活在這種失控的經濟中。1997年的亞洲金融風暴是我們遇到的第一個困境。今后我們還會有更多的麻煩。各國政府向來為管理和維持國內的經濟體制而煞費苦心，現在它們正漸漸地被淘汰出局。全球金融領域的變革使它們束手無策，只有幾個大國的政府未受沖擊。各國政府已無法干預信息和資本的流動，無法制約別國在資金和文化上的滲透。相反，跨國企業的力量不斷壯大，各大公司紛紛進入那些最有利可圖的地域，并且使得各國為了吸引外資而激烈競爭，從而進一步擴大了經濟全球化的影響。
漢譯英
祖國和平統一，乃千秋功業。臺灣終必回歸祖國，早日解決對各方有利。臺灣同胞可安居樂業，兩岸各族人民可解骨肉分離之痛，在臺諸前輩及大陸去臺人員亦可各得其所，且有利于亞太地區局勢穩定和世界和平。
當今國際風云變幻莫測，臺灣上下眾議紛紜。歲月不居，來日苦短，夜長夢多，時不我與。試為貴黨計，如能依時順勢，負起歷史責任，毅然和談，達成國家統一，則兩黨長期共存，互相監督，共圖振興中華之大業。
【參考譯文】
The peaceful reunification of our motherland is a great cause in the interest of future generations. As Taiwan is destined to return to the motherland, the early resolution of the issue is beneficial to both sides of the Taiwan Straits. The Taiwan compatriots will live and work in peace and contentment. People on both sides will no longer suffer from being separated from their own flesh and blood. The older generation in Taiwan and those from the mainland will have proper roles to play. All this will contribute to the stability of the Asia-Pacific region and world peace.As the international situation is changing unpredictably, opinions vary among both the authorities and the general public in Taiwan. The resolution of the issue cannot be allowed to be postponed as time presses and a long delay might lead to unfavorable results. To your own benefit, you should follow the trend of our times and assume historical responsibility to participate in the negotiations for the peaceful reunification of our motherland. Thus, the two parties will be able to make concerted efforts to achieve China’s rejuvenation through long-term co-existence and mutual supervision.
