英汉同声传译专业试卷
Ⅰ. 将下列单句译成汉语（25 分）
1) In the first half of this year, China’s GDP grew by 8.2%--despite the SARS virus.
Electricity demand rose by 15% in the same period, led by power-hungry industries such as steel
and aluminum.
2) China, anxious about capital flight and proud of its economic sovereignty, will not be
browbeaten into floating the yuan by hectoring Americans.
3) Power stations tend to be built far from cities, and to be surrounded by idle “buffer” land.
It is suggested that greenhouses could be built no this land with the exhaust from the power station
pumped in go supply the heat they need. Such greenhouses could be used to grow fruit, vegetables
and flowers cheaply.
4) Out of all the unbecoming parts of drug addiction, the search for clean needles is
particularly ghastly. Dirty needles account for a third of all reported AIDS cases: they also explain
why half of all long-term addicts get hepatitis C.
5) The fight over farm trade at the WTO ministerial meeting in the Mexican city of Cancun
boils down to how far the rich world cuts tariffs on agricultural goods and dismantles its vast farm
-subsidies, and by how much developing countries reduce their own considerable tariffs in return.
Ⅱ. 将下列短文译成汉语（50 分）
Unemployment in America is high, and elections are on the horizon. It must be time to look
east again for scapegoats. Japan is only starting to recover from its protracted recession, so China
will be handed the role of economic villain in the coming U.S. election cycle. Expect to hear a
chorus of presidential candidates blame unfair Chinese competition for America’s manufacturing
woes.
China’s trading partners do have legitimate grievances, but it would be irresponsible and
inaccurate for American politicians to pin the United States’ economic sluggishness on scheming
culprits in Beijing. Traveling in Asia in October, Treasury Secretary John Snow heeded political
pressures back home in exhorting Chinese leaders to let the market price their currency. This is a
desirable outcome in the long run, but a raft of immediate caveats come to mind.
China’s financial system remains fragile, and sudden currency volatility could lead to a
banking crisis that could sell disaster for the world economy. Washington would do better to urge
China’s leaders to focus on their lack of preparation to assume their proper role in the world’s
financial order, rather than to demand any supposedly quick fix. Moreover, China’s refusal to
devalue its currency in the aftermath of the late 1990’s crises in East Asia—much appreciated by
its neighbors and Washington at a time when the yuan seemed overvalued—adds credence to
Beijing’s insistence that it prizes stability when it comes to exchange rates, not short-term
advantage. With most economists concerned that China’s robust growth could fuel inflation and a
speculative bubble, there are valid reasons for Beijing to fear a surging currency.
Ⅲ. 将下列单句译成英语(25 分)
1) 尽管 20 世纪 90 年代全国经济复苏，美国家庭最富有者和最贫穷者收入之间的差距继
