2016年英語六級翻譯強化和練習:火車票實名制
長期以來,火車運力不足導致的車票嚴重短缺(尤其在春運期間)一直是個令人頭疼的問題。這種狀況因票販子(scalper)囤積(stockpile)和和高價倒賣(resell at higher prices)火車票而加劇。為此,政府試行并最終在全國范圍內(nèi)實行了火車票實名制(name—basedtrainticket system)。該制度要求乘客在購買火車票和乘坐火車時,需要進行個人真實姓名和身份的登記和驗證。該制度對于打擊票販子的違法行為起到了顯著的作用,同時對控制鐵路沿線上的各種犯罪行為、保障乘客的合法權(quán)益也有一定的作用。
Name-based Train Ticket System
It has long been a headache that inadequate railway service results in severe ticket shortages notably(especially during the Spring Festival). The situation was worsened as scalpers stockpiled tickets and resold them at higher prices for fat profit margins. For this reason, the name-based train ticket system was piloted and finally implemented nationwide.
The system requires passengers to have their real names and identities registered and checked when they buy the train tickets and board trains, which plays a significant role in cracking down on the illegal activities of scalpers. Meanwhile, it also has some effect on reining in various criminal acts and safeguarding passengers' lawful rights and interests.
