2017年catti三级笔译实务模拟题(第十三套)

  【英译汉】

  Because the aircraft industry needs ever-increasing quantities of aluminium plate,new equipment has been designed to automate the making of it.It includes a huge heat-treatment furnace,a crane that lifts hot metal plates without damaging them,and a computer system that can manage the complete flow of work.

  Five years ago,Europe’s aircraft industry needed only 8,000 tonnes of aluminium plate a year for its products.Last year the figure reached 21,800 tonnes.By 2004 it should total 30,000 tonnes.Each airliner contains 180 tones of it.That is why the plant is being rebuilt to increase both the quality and the amount of its product.

  Aluminium is alloyed with other metals’ and cast into ingots,and the surface of the ingots is smoothed off.After pre-heating,it is rolled in a mill that can take 3.57-m-wide slabs.The new equipment can make the process more efficient and can produce a better product.For example,computers control the temperature of the hot plates,the rate at which they pass through the mill,the speed of cooling it with water,and so on.

  The new plant can handle twice the throughput of the one that it is replacing,thanks to the completely automated and computerized process.

  由于飞机制造工业需要越来越多的铝板,已设计了新的设备把制造铝板的工序自动化。这套设备包括一个巨型的热处理炉,一架可以起吊热的金属板而不至于损坏它们的吊车和一套能控制整个工艺流程的计算机系统。

  五年前,欧洲的飞机制造工业每年只需要8,000吨铝板。去年这个数字增加到21,800吨。到2004年它将达到30,000吨。每架民航飞机就含有180吨铝板。因此正在对这套设备进行改建,以便提高产品的质量和产量。

  铝与其他金属一起被制成合金,铸成锭子,并且把锭子的表面光洁化。预热之后,锭子在一架可以容纳3.75米宽的平板的轧机中进行轧制。这套新设备可使这个工序提高效率,并能改进产品的质量。举例说,铝板加热的温度,铝板通过轧机的速度,以及用水对它进行冷却的速度等等,都由计算机控制。

  由于工序全部自动化和使用计算机控制,这套新设备能够处理两倍于被它代替的旧设备的产量。

  论想象力的培养

  我的讲话是主张培养想象力。

  那么,我是从什么意义上使用“想象力”这个词的呢?“想象力”一词的定义是:“构思出理想图画的能力”;“向自己或他人描述不在眼前的事物的能力。”我在下面的讲话使用“想象力”这个词时,就具有这样的含义。

  沿着这条思路,我相信可以把我的意思讲清楚。不在眼前的事物是什么呢?例如历史就是。历史讲的是过去的事情。从某种意义上来说,历史并不存在于脑中——就是说,你看不到过去的事情;但是学习历史能使你得到并增强理解不在眼前的事物的能力。因此我愿向你们推荐历史课,那是一门最值得学习的课程。

  【参考译文】

  I address these words in favor of the cultivation of the imagination.

  In what sense, then, do I use th6 word "imagination"? The meaning of "imagination" is "the power of forming ideal pictures"; "the power of representing absent things to ourselves and to others."

  That is the sense in which I shall use the word "imagination" in the course of my address.

  Now follow out this thought and I think I can make my meaning clear. Absent things! Take history. History deals with the things of the past. They are absent in a sense, from your minds -- that is to say you cannot see them; but the study of history qualifies you and strengthens your capacity for understanding things that are not present to you, and thus I wish to recommend history to you as a most desirable course of study.
