2018翻譯資格考試catti二級筆譯模擬試題：稀土

　　漢譯英

　　稀土是中國最豐富的戰(zhàn)略資源，截止 2009 年，中國稀土儲量達到 3600 萬噸，占到全球稀土儲量的 36.4%。同時中國也是全球最大的稀土生產(chǎn)國， 2009 年，中國稀土礦產(chǎn)量達到12.9 萬噸，占到全球產(chǎn)量的 97%，稀土資源的過度開發(fā)給中國稀土產(chǎn)業(yè)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展帶來嚴峻挑戰(zhàn)。

　　針對國內(nèi)稀土資源開發(fā)存在的問題，近年來，中國加大了對稀土資源開發(fā)政策調(diào)控的力度，實行指令性生產(chǎn)和出口配額制度。 2010 年，中國稀土開采總量控制指標(biāo)為 89200 噸，同比增長 8.4%;稀土產(chǎn)品出口配額為 3.03 萬噸，同比下降 39.5%。2009 年以來，中國稀土產(chǎn)品出口控制力度的加強，使全球稀土供給趨緊，由此拉動全稀土產(chǎn)品市場價格進入一輪持續(xù)上升期。以金屬釹為例，截止 2010 年 9 月 30 日，上海金屬釹現(xiàn)貨市場價格達到 316500 元/噸，對比 2008 年 12 月份的 97500 元/噸增長 224.6%。

　　【參考譯文】

　　Rare earth is the richest strategic resource of China. As of 2009， China’s reserves of rare earth have reached 36 million tons， representing 36.4% of the world’s total. China also boasts the largest rare earth output in the world， accounting for 129，000 tons or 97% of the world’s total output in 2009. The overexploitation of rare earth resources has posed a grave challenge to the sustainable development of China’s rare earth industry.

　　In response to the problem in the exploitation of rare earth resources ， the Chinese Government has intensified the policy control in recent years ， implementing a mandatory production and export quota system. The rare earth exploitation of China is capped at 89，200 tons in 2010， up 8.4% year-on-year， while the export quota stands at 30，300 tons， down 39.5% year-on-year.

　　Since 2009， China has strengthened its control over rare earth export， pushing up a new round of price hike of rare earth resource worldwide because of the shortage of supply.

　　A case in point is neodymium， the spot market price of which in Shanghai reached RMB 316， 500/ton as of September 30th，2010，an increase of 224.6% compared with the RMB 97，500/ton in December 2008.
