2017年翻译资格考试中级口译精选试题(15)

  英译中

  As individuals and as a nation, we're defined by the choices we make. And too often, by the tough decisions we avoid. Most of us have avoided even thinking about how our rapidly growing population is affecting our quality of life and shaping our society.

  Our population has more than doubled since World War II, and at this rate, we could be on our way to 1 billion people living in the United States by the end of the century. Our population growth, driven in part by unchecked immigration, is already straining our healthcare and educational systems and, less noticeably - but far more important - putting a heavy burden on our natural resources.

  All these pressures on our resources will only worsen unless our leaders begin a national dialogue on the future of this country and start making the tough choices. Politicians are avoiding debate on these issues because they are the most difficult ones to confront. In campaign debating, these are wedge issues. But failure to come to terms with them will drive a wedge between all of us and a prosperous, healthy future for this country.

  【参考译文】

  我们作为个人和一个国家(民族),其特性表现为我们所做的选择,而且还常常表现为我们不想/避免做出的艰难决定(来确定的)。我们大多数人甚至不去思考我国快速增长的人口是怎样影响着我们的生活质量,决定着我们的社会。

  二次世界大战以来,我国的人口增加了一倍多。照这样的数度增长,到本世纪末生活在美国的人口有可能达到10 亿。造成我国人口增长的一部分原因是我们未对移民加以控制。这种增长已经对我国的医疗保健,教育体制造成压力。而且是我国的自然资源背上了沉重的负担,这一点虽然不太引起人们注意,但是更为重要。

  除非我们的领导人就国家的未来开始一场全国性的对话,并作出艰难的决定,否则对于我国资源的这些压力不会减轻。政客们避免就这些问题展开辩论,因为这些问题难以面对。在总统竞选辩论中,这些问题会导致分歧。但若不能成功地解决这些问题,我们将无法实现国家繁荣、健康的未来。
