口譯筆譯實戰(zhàn)練習(xí)：長難句翻譯

1. The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the 19th century and then by several local geological journals in the 20th century.

這樣一來最終的結(jié)果便是業(yè)余愛好者想在專業(yè)地質(zhì)學(xué)期刊上發(fā)表文章就更難了，廣泛使用的論文評審?fù)扑]制度又進一步強化了這一結(jié)果。評審?fù)扑]制度最早被使用于在19世紀的國家級刊物上，后又在20世紀被幾家地方級地質(zhì)學(xué)刊物所采用。

2. A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies, whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way.

一個頗為類似的分化過程讓全國的專業(yè)地質(zhì)學(xué)家走到一起，組成了一兩個專業(yè)學(xué)術(shù)社團，另一方面，業(yè)余地質(zhì)愛好者們傾向于要么仍留在地方社團，要么以其他方式組成全國性機構(gòu)。

3. Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined with lots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.

遺憾地講，這次新聞機構(gòu)可信度調(diào)查只得到了一些含金量低的發(fā)現(xiàn)，比如新聞報道中的事實錯誤，拼寫或語法錯誤。調(diào)查結(jié)果中還交織著一些令人搔首頓足的問題，譬如讀者到底想讀些什么。

4. I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&M wave are the same that underlie the globalization process: falling transportation and communication costs, lower trade and investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers' demands.

我認為，巨大的并購浪潮背后的最重要的推動力同時也促成了全球化的進程：即降低交通運輸成本，逐漸減少貿(mào)易投資壁壘，以及大幅度拓展市場，這些都要求更大的經(jīng)營管理規(guī)模，以滿足消費者需求。

5. A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress promoted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming "I wanted to spend more time with my family."

一次側(cè)面攻擊傷害了我的自尊，阻礙了我事業(yè)的發(fā)展，這個攻擊并不光明磊落，它讓我不得不拋棄了那份引人注目的工作。盡管，在表面上，我還要以一個蒙受屈辱的政府部長的姿態(tài)，宣稱"我只不過是想多和家人呆在一起" ，掩蓋我的退出。

6. I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of "juggling your life", and making the alternative move into "downshifting" brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.

凱爾西不堪積勞重負，公開地辭去她在《她》雜志社的編輯一職，之后她發(fā)現(xiàn)：放棄那種"為生活忙碌"的人生信條，轉(zhuǎn)而追求比較悠閑的生活，這帶給你的回報遠遠大于賺大錢和社會地位。我也意識到了這一點。

7. While in America the trend started as a reaction to the economic decline -- after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late '80s - and is still linked to the politics of thrift, in Britain, at least among the middle-class down shifters of my acquaintance, we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.

在美國，這一返樸趨勢是因經(jīng)濟的衰落而開始的——那是在八十年代末期裁員而引起大量的失業(yè)之后一一這種趨勢還和提倡節(jié)儉的政綱相關(guān);而在英國，最起碼在我所熟識的中產(chǎn)階級返樸歸隱者中，追求簡約生活的原因就多種多樣了。

8. For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the '90s, down-shifting in the mid' 90s is not so much a search for the mythical good lift-growing your own organic vegetables, and risking turning into one -- as a personal recognition of your limitations.

對于我這一代曾在整個九十年代為生活奔波的女人來說，90年代中期出現(xiàn)的歸隱恬退與其說是尋求一種神話般的美好生活——用有機肥種植蔬菜，并且冒著放棄一切的風(fēng)險——不如說是我們清醒地認識到了自己能力有限。

9. If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it'll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman' s notorious bad taste in ties.

如果你是你講話對象群體中的一員，那么你就能夠了解你們普遍都有的經(jīng)歷和問題，那么順口評價一下餐廳中難以下咽的食物、或是老總總所周知的惡俗領(lǐng)帶品位也并非不合適。

10. There are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy -- far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.

現(xiàn)在已有一些機器人系統(tǒng)能夠進行精確到毫米以下的腦部和骨骼手術(shù)——這要比極具技巧的醫(yī)生單單靠雙手做手術(shù)精確得多。

口譯筆譯實戰(zhàn)練習(xí)：長難句翻譯

1.But, for a small group of students, professional training might be the way to go since well-developed skills, all other factors being equal, can be the difference between having a job and not.

但是，對一個小部分學(xué)生來說，專業(yè)培訓(xùn)也是條可取的路徑。因為在其他因素相同的情況下，嫻熟的技能是得到工作與否的關(guān)鍵因素。

2. Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment -- although no one had proposed to do so -- and asked an independent panel of experts chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro to report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning.

他宣布自己反對使用這種非同尋常的畜牧繁殖技術(shù)來克隆人類，并下令聯(lián)邦政府基金不得被用于此類試驗——盡管還沒有人要求這么做——他還請一個以普林斯頓大學(xué)校長哈羅得·夏皮羅為首的獨立的專家組在90天內(nèi)向白宮匯報關(guān)于制定有關(guān)克隆人的國家政策的建議。

3. In a draft preface to the recommendations, discussed at the 17 May meeting, Shapiro suggested that the panel had found a broad consensus that it would be "morally unacceptable to attempt to create a human child by adult nuclear cloning".

在5月17日的會議上所討論的這份建議書的序言草案中，夏皮羅提出，專家組已經(jīng)達成廣泛共識，那就是"試圖通過成人細胞核克隆來制造人類幼兒的做法在道德上是不可接受的"。

4. Because current federal law already forbids the use of federal funds to create embryos (the earliest stage of human offspring before birth) for research or to knowingly endanger an embryo's life, NBAC will remain silent on embryo research.

因為現(xiàn)今的聯(lián)邦法律已經(jīng)禁止使用聯(lián)邦基金克隆胚胎(人類的后代在出生前最早的階段)用于研究、或者用于有意地威脅胚胎的生命，NBAC在胚胎研究上將保持沉默。

5. If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents.

如果試驗是像科學(xué)雜志上的報告所示的那樣如實地根據(jù)規(guī)劃實施的話，那么對管理層來說，期待研究能夠產(chǎn)生有經(jīng)濟效應(yīng)的結(jié)果是完全合理的。

6. It is entirely reasonable for auditors to believe that scientists who know exactly where they are going and how they will get there should not be distracted by the necessity of keeping one eye on the cash register while the other eye is on the microscope.

審查者完全有理由相信，知道自己準備做什么、怎么做的科學(xué)家不會因為必須一直關(guān)注著他們的進賬而分散了實驗的注意力。

7. Nor, if regularity and conformity to a standard pattern are as desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to reflect, is management to be blamed for discriminating against the "odd balls" among researchers in favor of more conventional thinkers who "work well with the team."

如果科學(xué)家在做實驗時跟在寫報告時一樣步驟規(guī)范、遵守要求，那么管理層就不該因歧視研究者中"思維與眾不同的人"、喜歡其中思想較為傳統(tǒng)的"善于團隊合作"的人而受到指責(zé)了。

8. The grand mediocrity of today--everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring--means that natural selection has lost 80% of its power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribe.

當(dāng)今人與人在很大程度上的平等——即面對自然淘汰法則人人機會均等，并且連生育孩子的數(shù)目都一樣——意味著和在印度土著部落中的情況相比，自然淘汰在印度中上層階級中已喪失了80%的優(yōu)勢。

9. When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal.

當(dāng)藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域的一個新運動發(fā)展成某種流行時尚時，最好應(yīng)該弄清這場運動倡導(dǎo)者的真正意圖，因為，不管他們的原則在今天看來多么牽強無理，很可能多年以后他們的理論會被視為正常。

10. With regard to Futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult, for whatever Futurist poetry may be, even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right--it can hardly be classed as Literature.

然而就未來主義詩歌來說，情況則不這么簡單了，因為不管未來主義詩歌是什么——就算承認它的理論基礎(chǔ)都是正確的——這種形式也很難被歸入文學(xué)。

1. But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least' a few decisions for themselves -- goals that pose a real challenge.

但是如果機器人要達到節(jié)省人工的下一個階段，它們將必須能夠在更少的人力監(jiān)督之下工作，而且還要能夠自己作出一些決策——這些目標是真正的挑戰(zhàn)。

2. But the human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediately disregard the 8 percent that is irrelevant, instantaneously focusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a big crowd.

但是只要迅速地瞟一眼快速改變的畫面，人類的大腦就能立刻處理掉8%的不相關(guān)部分，并且馬上聚焦于一條崎嶇森林小徑邊的一只猴子，或者在茫茫人海中的一張可疑的臉。

3. The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 18, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25 - 0.5% of GDP.

經(jīng)濟合作與發(fā)展組織在其最近的《經(jīng)濟瞭望》中估計，如果石油一年的平均價格為每桶22美元，而不是18年的每桶13美元相比，這也只會給富裕的經(jīng)濟體增加0.25%-0.5%的石油進口開銷。

4. One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 70s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand.

另外一個不應(yīng)因油價上漲而輾轉(zhuǎn)難眠的原因是，這次上漲不像70年代的那些次上漲，它并不是在商品價格普遍暴漲和全球需求過旺的背景之下發(fā)生的。

5. Although it ruled that there is no constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical principle of "double effect", a centuries-old moral principle holding that an action having two effects -- a good one that is intended and a harmful one that is foreseen -- is permissible if the actor intends only the good effect.

判決的結(jié)果是：憲法中并沒有規(guī)定在醫(yī)生幫助下自殺的權(quán)利。盡管如此，最高法院實際上支持了被稱為"雙重效果"的醫(yī)療原則;這條道德原則已經(jīng)傳承了幾個世紀，原則認為一個行為會有兩種效果——一個想要達到的好的效果和一個已經(jīng)被預(yù)見到的有害的效果。最高法院實際上認為如果初衷是好的，那么這個行為是能被允許的。

6. Nancy Dubler, director of Montefiore Medical Center, contends that the principle will shield doctors who "until now have very, very strongly insisted that they could not give patients sufficient mediation to control their pain if that might hasten death."

Nancy Dubler，Montehore醫(yī)療中心的主任，認為這一原則將會保護這樣一些醫(yī)生，他們“到目前為止還強烈堅持認為，如果會加速病人死亡的話，他們就不能夠給病人足量的鎮(zhèn)痛劑來控制他們的疼痛，”。

7. On another level, many in the medical community acknowledge that the assisted -- suicide debate has been fueled in part by the despair of patients for whom modern medicine has prolonged the physical agony of dying.

在另一個層面上，很多醫(yī)療界的人承認，關(guān)于醫(yī)生幫助下的自殺的討論如此熱烈的部分是因為病人的絕望情緒，對他們來說，現(xiàn)代醫(yī)學(xué)已經(jīng)延長了臨死前的身體痛苦。

8. It identifies the undertreatment of pain and the aggressive use of "ineffectual and forced medical procedures that may prolong and even dishonor the period of dying" as the twin problems of end-of-life care.

對疼痛的治療不足，盲目地使用"無效的、強迫性的、有可能延長死亡時間、甚至讓死亡過程中讓病人感到不光彩的醫(yī)療手段"，這被它視為生命臨終護理的雙重問題。

9. In other words, there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for otherwise confusing new.

換句話說，在媒介機構(gòu)的新聞采編室文化中存在著一套約定俗成的寫作模式，這種模式為新聞報道提供了主干框架以及可直接套用的敘述結(jié)構(gòu)。若沒有這些，新聞內(nèi)容就會一團混亂，讓人摸不著頭腦。

10. If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.

如果新聞界真的注意到了問題的關(guān)鍵，它就應(yīng)該進一步開放其多樣化項目，這個項目現(xiàn)在還只單純考慮招收不同種族和性別的員工，但應(yīng)該進一步尋找那些世界觀、價值觀、教育水平和社會階層大相徑庭的各種記者。

2. The bodies playing major professional sports have changed dramatically over the years, and managers have been more than willing to adjust team uniforms to fit the growing numbers of bigger, longer frames.

這些年來，參加主要職業(yè)棒球賽運動員的身材發(fā)生了顯著變化，俱樂部的經(jīng)理們更樂意修改隊服來滿足日益增多的更高、更壯的運動員的需要。

3. For example, changes in the economy that lead to fewer job opportunities for youth and rising unemployment in general make gainful employment increasingly difficult to obtain.

5. Studies of both animals and humans have shown that sex hormones somehow affect the stress response, causing females under stress to produce more of the trigger chemicals than do males under the same conditions.

對動物和人類的研究表明：性激素會以某種方式影響對壓力的反應(yīng)，使處于壓力下的雄性比處于相同條件下的雄性產(chǎn)生更多的觸發(fā)不良反應(yīng)的化學(xué)物質(zhì)。

6. Some attributed virtually every important cultural achievement to the inventions of a few, especially gifted peoples that, according to diffusionists, then spread to other cultures.

有些人類學(xué)家認為，幾乎每項重要的文化成就都是少數(shù)特別有天賦的民族所發(fā)明創(chuàng)造的。根據(jù)傳播論者的看法，這些發(fā)明后來傳播到了其他的文化中。

7. More, recently, while examining housing construction, the researchers discovered that illiterate, non-English-speaking Mexican workers in Houston, Texas, consistently met best-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity of the building industry's work.

最近，研究者在調(diào)查房屋建筑業(yè)時發(fā)現(xiàn)，盡管建筑行業(yè)的工作非常復(fù)雜，但是德克薩斯州休斯頓市的那些不識字、不會說英語的墨西哥工人卻總能達到勞動生產(chǎn)率的最高標準。

8. This DNA can reveal genetic information about only one or two ancestors, even though, for example, just three generations back people also have six other great-grandparents or, four generations back, 14 other great-great-grandparents.

舉例來說，只要上溯三代，一個人就會有八個曾父母，或者上溯四代，就會有十六位曾曾祖父母，即便如此，這種 DNA 只能揭示一到兩位祖先的基因信息。

9. Sexual confusion, economic frustrations, and religion hope—all came together in a decisive moment when he opened the bible, told his father that the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: "Come out from among them, touch no unclean thing." and I will be your God and you shall be my people.

他打開圣經(jīng)，告訴父親他讀到的第一行字將決定他的命運，接著讀到了以下神奇的文字：“從他們中間走出來，不要沾不干凈的物，我將成為你們的神，你將是我的子民?！痹跊Q定性的時刻，他的性困惑、經(jīng)濟困難以及宗教期待——所有的一切都交織在一起。
