06年3月上海市高级口译答案(编辑修改稿)内容摘要：

年上升 18％。 (4) Now 28% of Hawaii’s 93 native bird species are extinct, and another one third are listed on the Federal Threatened and Endangered Species Lists, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. 【 参考译文 】 根据美国鱼类及野生动物署的信息，目前 93 种夏威夷本土鸟类中，已有 28％灭绝，另有三分之一已被列入联邦濒危物种名单。 (5) “War is not like the weather that es and goes beyond our power to influence”. That attitude is obsolete. The growing destructive capacities of humanity make this the prime problem of the 21st century. 【 参考译文 】 “天有不测风云，非人力可及，但战争是我们可以掌控的。 ”这样的观点已经过时了。 人类的破坏能力越来越强，已成为 21 世纪的首要问题。 II. Passage Translation (1) The world is more unequal than at anytime in world history. There is a basic reason for that. 200 years ago, everybody was poor. The period of economic growth is a fairly recent period. But it’s been a period of extreme differentiation in economic performance. A relatively small part of the world achieved what the economists call a modern economic growth. And this sustained the increase year after year in ine per person. When you accumulate that over two centuries, you get quite a change, maybe a twentyfold increase or more in the standard of living measured in material terms. 【 参考译文 】 当今世界，发展不平衡情况比历史上任何时期都要严重。 基本原因如下。 200 年前人人贫穷，而经济增长也只是最近才发生的。 但在这一时期内，经济发展水平产生了极大的差异。 世界上少数地区实现了经济学家称之为“现代经济增长”。 年复一年，人均收入水平不断上升。 200 年累积下来，变化甚为可观，以物质财富来衡量的话，生活水平上升了 20 倍还不止。 (2) There is a great range in the number of doctors per 100,000 inhabitants in various parts of the world, as we can see from the chart. It is surprising that the figure for Italy should be a great deal higher than for the United Kingdom. But that is the case. In Italy the figure is around 400, while in the UK, it is only a little over 160 doctors per 100,000 inhabitants. Both Spain and Belgium have considerably higher figures than the UK, slightly over 350 in Spain, and about 310 in Belgium. “ 英语客栈 ” 网址： 友情提供：英语客栈 第 5 页 共 8 页 【 参考译文 】 从图表可见，世界各地，每十万人口所拥有的医生数量差异很大。 比如意大利的这个数字比英国要高出很多。 也许这点令人惊讶，但却是事实。 在意大利，每十万人口拥有医生约 400名，而在英国仅为 160 出头。 西班牙和比利时的数字也比英国高出许多。 在西班牙略高于 350，比利时为 310。 SECTION 5: READING TEST Questions 1~3 【概 要】 由于从事单纯的农业劳动所能带来的收入有限，美国越来越多的农民办起了农业旅游项目，即所谓“农家乐”，以此来增加收入。 对此，政府从贷 款、政策指导等方面加以扶持。 当然，也有人对此类“农家乐”项目是否货真价实提出了质疑。 Question 1: What is “agritainment”? Give some examples. 【解 析】 对于 agritainment 的定义出现在第二段中，具体例子则在第三、四、六段中均有提到。 【关键字词】 agricultural tourism → fun → Jersey Daily → Country Farm amp。 Stores → Bate Nut Farm 【 参考答案 】 The term agritainment is blended by the words “agriculture” and “entertainment”, referring to the growing business of agriculture tourism anized by US farmers to offer good, oldfashioned fun to visitors, mainly from urban areas. Examples of agritainment include Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas attractions, such as Young’s Jersey Daily in Yellow Spring, Ohio, Eckert’s Country Farm amp。 Stores, near St. Louis, Mo., Bate Nut Farm in Valley Center, Calif., and so on. Question 2: Why do more American farmers turn to the entertainment business? 【解 析】 本文第二段中提到，由于成本上升，单纯从事农业活动的收入下降。 而数字表明，农业旅游市场前景看好。 第四段则介绍了州政府对此类农业旅游项目的扶持，种种因素都促使越来越多的农民转向农业旅游项目。 【关键字词】 profit margins → slashed → rising costs → figures → revenues → help → transition → agritourism offices → guide 【 参考答案 】 On the one hand, the profit margins for crops have been sharply reduced by rising costs, so an increasing number of farmers turn to agritainment, an industry that has a very huge market and revenue, proved by programs in New York and Hawaii. On the other hand, to help farmers make the transition to the entertainment business, several states have established agritourism offices and launched a guide for tourists through websites. Question 3: Why does the author say that the experience of country life is often “not entirely authentic”? 【解 析】 本文最后一段以 While 开头，表明本段将从更加批判的角度探讨此类农家乐项目的另一面。 下文以 Bate Nut Farm 的例子证明，为招揽游客，农家乐项目不乏水分。 【关键字词】 doesn’t actually grow → but sells → shipped in from other growers 【 参考答案 】 The agritainment programs are mainly profitoriented, therefore, it is very likely that some experience of country life delivered may not be authentic, since it may include the elements of artificial exaggeration, only to。
