2018年翻译资格考试英语口译初级模拟题：运动与电脑游戏

　　英译汉

　　The positive change that I would like to talk about is ‘I started playing outdoor games instead ofplaying computer games’. After I got my first personal computer when I was only 9 years old orso, I started learning many things. Besides that I started playing the computer games. Ascomputer games are addictive I found that I was playing the games whenever I had spare times.This addiction barred me from playing outdoor games like cricket, football etc.

　　I found myself very much attracted to the computer games and I preferred to play the games athome instead of going to open spaces or fields to participate in outdoor games that involvephysical exercises. Not that computer games are all so bad, but playing them all the timesomeone has got is not a good thing especially for kids. I found that I was spending more timesat home than being outside. After my parents noticed that, they discussed with me about thatand explained me the importance of outdoor activities. They gave me strict restriction that Iwould only be able to play computer games for an hour daily and in the evening I’d have to gooutside to play with my friends.

　　This was obviously a very positive change for me. I’m not against computer games but I feel thatif there are more important things to do, then we should not spend time on computer games only.This change affected me very positively. I became a good cricket player later on, I startedmaintaining my times more prudently and I am sure this change has affected me positively interms of physical and mental health.

　　参考译文

　　我想说的积极的变化是“我开始体验户外活动，而不是玩电脑游戏”。当我只有9岁的时候，我得到了第一台个人电脑，我开始学习很多东西。除此之外，我开始玩电脑游戏。电脑游戏让人上瘾，我发现只要有空闲时间，我就在玩游戏。这种上瘾使我不能玩像板球、足球等户外活动。

　　我发现自己对电脑游戏很感兴趣，我更喜欢玩游戏，而不是去露天或田野参加户外运动，参加体育锻炼。并不是说电脑游戏都是那么糟糕，但是玩它们的时间对孩子来说不是一件好事。我发现我在家里花的时间比在外面多。在我父母注意到这一点后，他们和我讨论了这个问题，并向我解释了户外活动的重要性。他们给了我严格的限制，我只能每天玩一个小时的电脑游戏，晚上我得出去和朋友们玩。

　　这对我来说显然是一个非常积极的改变。我不反对电脑游戏，但我觉得有更重要的事情要做，那我们就不应该把时间花在电脑游戏上。这种变化对我的影响非常大。后来我成为了一名优秀的板球运动员，我开始更谨慎地维护我的时间我相信这种变化对我的身体和心理健康有积极的影响。
