2017年catti三級筆譯實務(wù)模擬題（第五套）
【英譯漢】
The biggest problem of the third industrial revolution is as easy to explain as it is difficult to solve. Technology is creating a global economy that is rapidly supplanting our old national economies. National governments cannot control this new economy, yet no one, least of all Americans, wants to create the form of global government that might be able to control it. As a result we were going to be living in a fundamentally unmanaged economic system. The difficulties of containing the 1997 Asian economic meltdown are just the first of many such difficulties we can expect.
National governments, which used to worry about managing and maintaining their economic systems, are slowly being pushed out of business. Changes in global finance overwhelm all but the largest governments. Governments have lost much of their influence over the movement of information and capital. They cannot control who crosses their borders either physically or culturally.
Conversely, the power of global businesses is growing with companies' ability to move to the most advantageous locations and play countries off against one another in bidding for attractive investment projects.
【漢譯英】
美國人強調(diào)效率、競爭和獨創(chuàng)性，而中國人則將嚴謹規(guī)劃放在首位，鼓勵團隊成員之間的密切合作和無私奉獻。//在美國學(xué)校，討論享有至高無上的地位，討論是課堂教學(xué)的主旋律;而中國教師喜歡講課，喜歡考試，編寫千篇一律的標準教案，培養(yǎng)整齊劃一的高材生。//美國人的政治觀，經(jīng)濟觀以及社會觀的核心是個人道德自治觀。中國傳統(tǒng)的思想體系是以儒家學(xué)說為基礎(chǔ)的，這種思想強調(diào)整體和諧。//現(xiàn)在，中美聯(lián)系比以往更加緊密，中國人學(xué)英語，玩保齡球，吃肯德基，美國人學(xué)漢語，練功夫，吃北京烤鴨，《泰坦尼克》駛進中國，《牡丹亭》也在百老匯上演。//
