2018年翻譯資格考試初級筆譯試題：白熊

　　漢譯英

　　年里，白熊藏身于深山之中，再無音訊。直到 2003 年，人們才再次在該自然區(qū)又發(fā)現(xiàn)了白熊的蹤跡。

　　在熊的家族里，只有北極熊是白色的。但是，這個龐然大物是如何離開極地寒帶，來到這個寒溫帶的地方呢?難道它是通過通往北極的水路來到此地?這一猜測遭到動物學家的質疑。首先，北極熊不能在溫帶的樹林中生活。其次，……2006 年，一個科學考察隊在白熊出沒的地區(qū)發(fā)現(xiàn)了熊冬眠的冬窩兒，還發(fā)現(xiàn)了一小團白色的動物毛發(fā)。DNA 樣本鑒定為棕熊的毛發(fā)。但是，也有可能，至少那團毛發(fā)不屬于照片中的白熊。

　　Back in 1996, a photographer happened to take a picture of a white bear in Kanas nature reserve in Xinjiang in northwest China. The bear remained a hermit/unseen/escaped 　　radar/stayed off the radar in the ensuing years until 2003 when its traces were spotted yet again in the natural refuge.

　　Only the polar bear is white in the family of bears. Yet, how has this colossal beast managed to move/migrate from the frigid polar zone to the cold temperate zone? Has the creature made it to the reserve via the waterway that leads towards the North Pole? Zoologists have raised doubts about this possibility. First and foremost, polar bears can‟t get acclimated to the temperate forest. Second, …

　　A scientific expedition in the bear-haunted forest in 2006 also led to the finding of a hideout where the bear hibernates in winter as well as a tiny ball of white furs. DNA test points to a brown bear‟s hair, which also makes sense, proving at least that the tiny fur ball doesn‟t come from the pictured white bear.
