2017年catti高級口譯：世界人口

　　【英譯漢】

　　Mass urbanization of the world’s population is an unprecedented trend worldwide. The most important reason why people are moving to cities is economic. People are moving to the cities because that’s where they can find jobs and earn money. Until the 20th century, the major source of employment, full and part-time, was farming. Now, according to recent statistics, no more than 15 percent of all jobs are connected to farming. Jobs now are being created in information technology, manufacturing and service areas, such as tourism and financing, and all of these new jobs are in or around major cities.

　　【參考譯文】

　　世界人口大規(guī)模的城市化在世界范圍內達到史無前例的規(guī)模。驅使人們不斷涌向城市的最重要原因是經(jīng)濟因素。人們都涌向城市是因為在城里可以找到工作和掙錢。在20世紀以前，就業(yè)的主要途徑，不管是全職還是兼職，一直都是農(nóng)耕。而現(xiàn)在，根據(jù)最近的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)，只有不到15%的工作是和農(nóng)業(yè)相關的。越來越多的工作產(chǎn)生于信息技術產(chǎn)業(yè)、制造業(yè)和服務行業(yè)，如旅游業(yè)和融資，而所有這些新興工作都在大城市及其周邊地區(qū)。
