2017翻譯考試初級口譯衝刺練習題（附答案）

　　試題一

The “standard of living” of a country means the average person’ s② share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country’ s standard of living， therefore， depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money， for we do not live on ② money but on things that money can buy： “goods” such as food and clothing， and “services” such as transport and entertainment.

A country’s capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors， most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country’s natural resources， such as coal， gold， and other minerals， water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals， and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess none of them.

難點提示：

①一般人，老百姓

②靠……為生

參考譯文：

任何一個國家的生活水平，指的是那個國家生產的產品和提供的服務為普通老百姓分享的情況。因此，一個國家的生活水平，首先取決於它創造財富的能力。在這個意義上，財富並不是指金錢，因為我們生存靠的不是錢，而是靠錢能買到的東西：比如食物和衣服這些“產品”，交通和娛樂這些“服務”。

一個國家創造財富的能力取決於很多因素，其中大部分因素相互作用。財富在很大程度上依賴於一個國家的自然資源，比如煤礦、金礦和其他礦物質、水源等等。世界上有些地區煤礦和礦物質的儲量豐富，土壤肥沃，氣候適宜，其他地區卻一樣都不具備。

　　試題二

從80 年代小規模的試驗性的①投資到近年來系統化的②投資，這一發展過程説明一個依法執法的穩定的中國增強了外國投資者的信心。《財富》雜誌對在中國的外國投資者作了一次最新的調查，調查結果表明，始於1993年的跨國公司的大規模、系統化的投資到2006年將登上一個新的高峯③。
