2018年翻译资格考试中级笔译模拟题:乌干达

  汉译英

  乌干达渴望得到真正的发展,这种愿望不仅反映在小学生的笑脸上,而且还体现在那么多孩子在上学的现实中。自1997年政府开始普及小学教育以来,小学在校总人数已从300万增至2004年的760万。过去没有学校的地方,现已开办了学校,不过要把教育发展到国内最贫困的地区,还要经过一番努力。

  乌干达在发展中等教育和高等教育方面也取得了进展,甚至吸引了其他国家的许多学生前来就学。在中等教育方面,在校人数现已超过70万,大多数学校是民办的。如有学生想继续深造,除4家公立大学外,还有12家私立大学,共7.5万个名额。

  人们认为教育是战胜贫困的重要一环,努力增强体质也是重要的一环。然而,乌干达饱受疾病的拖累,如疟疾、艾滋病等,增强体质绝非一日之功。在这方面,要解决问题,必须一方面靠国际援助,一方面政府要下决心,继续拨款预防疾病,并加强宣传公共卫生知识。

  目前政府计划包括招聘数千名护理人员,增加药品供应,新建200所产科诊所。

  财政部长杰拉尔德?森达乌拉说,乌干达人口的年增长率为百分之3.6,这样高的增长率对消除贫困构成特殊障碍。他还指出,乌干达平均每个女人生6.9孩子,这一生育率是全非洲最高的。

  政府最近修订过的《消除贫困行动计划》将"恢复安全"列为政府当前的首要任务。这是因为它估计连年不断的冲突已使乌干达的国内生产总值每年下降3个百分点。流离失所的人们不仅是财政方面的负担,也不能为发展经济出力。

  修订过的《消除贫困行动计划》列举的其他重大事项还包括设法不断提高最低收入,改进教育质量,帮助人们最好地控制家庭人口,透明而有效地使用公共资源等。这一文件值得其他贫困国家借鉴。

  参考译文

  Uganda's eagerness for genuine development is reflected in its schoolchildren's smiles and in the fact that so many children are now going to school. Since 1997, when the government began to provide universal primary education, total primary enrollment had risen from 3 million to 7.6 million in 2004. Schools have opened where none existed before, although there is some way to go in reaching the poorest areas of the country.

  Uganda has also made strides in secondary and higher education, to the point that it is attracting many students from other countries. At the secondary level, enrollment is above 700,000, with the private sector providing the majority if schools. For those who want to take their education further, there are 12 private universities in addition to the four publicly funded institutions, together providing 75,000 places.

  Education is seen as a vital component in the fight against poverty. The battle for better health is another, although it is one that will take longer to win in a country that carries a high burden of disease, including malaria and AIDS. Here, the solutions can only arise from a combination of international support and government determination to continue spending public money on preventive care and better public health information.

  Current government plants include recruiting thousands of nurses, increasing the availability of drugs and building 200 new maternity units.

  Uganda's high rate of population growth, at 3.6 percent per annum, poses a special challenge in the fight against poverty, says Finance Minister Gerald Ssendaula, who points out that the fertility rate, at 6.9 children per female, is the highest in Africa.

  The government's newly revised Poverty Eradication Action Plan (PEAP) puts the "restoration of security" at the top of the current government agenda. This is because it estimates that Uganda has lost 3 percent of its gross domestic product each year that the conflict has persisted. Displaced people are not only a financial burden, they are unable to the economy.

  The other core challenges identified by the revised PEAP are finding ways to keep the lowest income growing, improving the quality of education, giving people more control over the size of their families and using public resources transparently and efficiently. It is a document that other poor countries could learn from.
