备战18年5月CATTI三级笔译#20180305练习题目发布#

一、 英译汉

In recent years we have come to realize that several threats to the environment are fundamental. One is acid rain, which is created by the millions of tones of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides spewed out of North American smokestacks and automobile exhaust pipes. The oxides mix with water vapor in the air to form weak sulphuric and nitric acid, which later falls as acid rain. The result is increased acidity in lakes, which has curtailed the ability of many fish to reproduce, and in the soil, which has slowed the growth of trees and increased their vulnerability to disease.

一、 英译汉

近年来我们逐渐认识到，有几种对环境构成的威胁是根本性的。其中之一便是酸雨。酸雨现象是由大量二氧化硫和氧化氮造成的。在北美洲，大烟囱和汽车尾气管每天都排放出大量的二氧化硫和氧化氮。这些氧化物在空气中和水蒸汽结合，转化为弱硫酸和弱氮酸，降落到地面便形成酸雨。酸雨现象不但导致湖泊酸性提高，使鱼类繁殖能力下降；而且随着土壤里酸性物质的激增，树木的生长速度开始放慢，对疾病的抵抗力下降。

另一方面，北极冰雪融化可能逐步改变北极开发利用的条件，为各国商业利用北极航道和开发北极资源提供机遇。北极的商业开发利用不仅将对全球航运、国际贸易和世界能源供应格局产生重要影响，对北极的经济社会发展带来巨大变化，对北极居民和土著人的生产和生活方式产生重要影响，还可能对北极生态环境造成潜在威胁。在处理涉北极全球性问题方面，国际社会命运与共。

On the other, with the ice melted, conditions for the development of the Arctic may be gradually changed, offering opportunities for the commercial use of sea routes and development of resources in the region. Commercial activities in the region will have considerable impact on global shipping, international trade and energy supply, bring about major social and economic changes, and exert important influence on the way of work and life of Arctic residents including the indigenous peoples. They may also pose a potential threat to the ecological environment of the Arctic. The international community faces the same threat and shares the same future in addressing global issues concerning the Arctic.
