  Part VI Translation (5 minutes)

  【参考答案】

  87. since we introduced color photographs on the front page

  本句为现在完成时,再结合中文部分的内容可知,该部分应译成since引导的时间状语从句。为了强调此处的“采用”是从无到有的运用,应将其译成introduce,而不是单纯表示“运用”的use。

  88. more complicate animals developed from the simple animals

  本题的考点是“高等动物”和“低等动物”的译法,即complicated animals和simple animals。值得注意的是,某些中文表达在英语中很难找到相对应的单词,此时往往可以用词组将中文的含义表达出来。

  89. I'd like to order one fried egg and bacon

  外出吃饭时,点菜所用的动词可用order或have,此处为了避免与下句动词重复,用order更好。而在表示主观意愿的“想要”时,常用I'd like to来表示。

  90. because of the sweet taste and a variety of flavors

  本题的考点是“多种口味”的译法,可用a variety of,强调种类繁多。a lot of虽然也表示“很多的”,但指的只是数量上的多,意思不够贴切。

  91. Scientists will come up with

  本题的考点是“提出”的译法。此处“提出”的宾语是methods,故采用短语come up with表达此意。

  Directions: Complete the sentences on Answer Sheet 2 by translating into English the Chinese given in brackets.

  87. The circulation figures have risen ________________________ (自从我们在头版上采用了彩色照片后).

  88. I believe in the theory that ________________________(高等动物是由低等动物发展而来的).

  89. ________________

  On Students Selecting Lecturers

  范文:

  On Students Choosing Lecturers

  Nowadays, some universities give students the right to choose who teaches some of their classes. This has led to some debate over whether students should be given this much power.

  There are several factors that students consider when choosing a lecturer, including the teaching style of the lecturer, the lecturer's academic background, and the lecturer's reputation among students. The ideal lecturer is one who has an interesting teaching style, a diverse academic background, and a good reputation among students.

  There are both positive and negative aspects to allowing students to choose their lecturers. Giving students the choice encourages them to take ownership for their classes, and also puts pressure on teachers to improve their teaching quality.

  However, the factors that students consider might not be the ones that lead to the highest quality of education. Schools might end up with lecturers who teach interesting classes without much content.

  Highway

  A government study recommended a national highway system of33,920 miles, and congress passed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944,which called for strict, centraky controlled desert criteria.

  The interstate highway system was finally launched in 1956 and has been hailed as one of the greatest public works projects of the century .To build its 44,000-mile web of highways, bridge. and tunnels hundreds of unique engineering designs and solutions had to be worked out. Consider the many geographic ,features of the country: mountains,steep grades,wetlands,rivers,desorts and plains. Variables included the slope of the land,the ability of the pavement to support the load. Innovative, designs of roadways, tunnels, bridges,overpasses,and interchanges that could run through or bypass urban areas soon began to weave their way across the country ,forever altering the face of American .

  Long-span, segmented-concrete, cable-stayed bridges such as Hale Boggs in Louisiana and the Sunshine Skyway in Florida, and remarkable tunnels like Fort Machinery in Maryland and Mr.bakerin Washington developed under the nation's physical challenges, Traffic control systems and methods of construction developed uder the interstate program soon influenced highway construction around the world, and were invaluable in improving the condition of urban streets and traffic patterns.

  Today .the interstate system links every major city in the U.S, and the U.S with Canada and Mexico, Built with safety in mind the highways have wide lanes and shoulders, dividing medians, or barriers, long entry and exit lanes,ourves engineered for safe turns, and limited access, The death rate on highways is half that of all other U.S roads (0.86 deaths per 100 million passenger miles compared to 1.99 deaths per 100 million on all other roads)

  By opening the North American continent, highways have enabled consumer goods and services to reach people in remote and rural areas of jobs, access to the growth options in terms of jobs access to cultural programs health care ,and other benefits. Above all, the interstate system provides individuals with what they enrich most: personal freedom of mobility.

  The interstate system has been an essential element of the nation's economic growth in terms of shipping and job creation: more than 75 percent of the nation's freight deliveries arrive by truck.and most products that arrive by rail or air use interstates for the last leg of the journey by vehicle.

  Not only has the highway system affected the American economy by providing shipping routes, it has led to the growth of spin-off industries like service stations ,motels,restaurants,and shopping centres.It has allowed the relocation of manufacturing plants and other industries from urban areas to rural.

  By the end of the century there was an immense network of paved roads, residential streets, expressways, and freeways built to support millions of vehicles, The high way system was officially renamed for Eisenhower to honor his vision and leadership. The year construction began he said:"Together, the united forces of our communication and transportation systems are dynamic elements in the very name we bear -United States. Without them ,we would be a
mere alliance of many separate parts."
