2013年5月三級筆譯實(shí)務(wù)真題Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英譯漢)(50 points)The Money Ran Out; Then the Villagers Stepped InHIGUERA DE LA SERENA, Spain It didnt take long for Manuel Garca Murillo, a bricklayer who took over as mayor here last June, to realize that his town was in trouble. It was 800,000 euros, a little more than $1 million, in the red. There was no cash on hand to pay for anything and there was work that needed to be done.But then an amazing thing happened, he said. Just as the health department was about to close down the day care center because it didnt have a proper kitchen, Bernardo Bentez, a construction worker, offered to put up the walls and the tiles free. Then, Maria Jos Carmona, an adult education teacher, stepped in to clean the place up.And somehow, the volunteers just kept coming. Every Sunday now, the residents of this town in southwest Spain young and old do what needs to be done, whether it is cleaning the streets, raking the leaves, unclogging culverts or planting trees in the park.“It was an initiative from them,” said Mr. Garca. “Day to day we talked to people and we told them there was no money. Of course, they could see it. The grass in between the sidewalks was up to my thigh. “Higuera de la Serena is in many ways a microcosm of Spains troubles. Just as Spains national and regional governments are struggling with the collapse of the construction industry, overspending on huge capital projects and a pileup of unpaid bills, the same problems afflict many of its small towns.But what has brought Higuera de la Serena a measure of fame in Spain is that the residents have stepped up where their government has failed. Mr. Garca says his phone rings regularly from other town officials who want to know how to do the same thing. He is serving without pay, as are the towns two other elected officials. They are also forgoing the cars and phones that usually come with the job.“We lived beyond our means,” Mr. Garca said. “We invested in public works that werent sensible. We are in technical bankruptcy.” Even some money from the European Union that was supposed to be used for routine operating expenses and last until 2013 has already been spent, he said.Higuera de la Serena, a cluster of about 900 houses surrounded by farmland, and traditionally dependent on pig farming and olives, got swept up in the giddy days of the construction boom. It built a cultural center and invested in a small nursing home. But the projects were plagued by delays and cost overruns.The cultural center still has no bathrooms. The nursing home, a whitewashed building sits on the edge of town, still unopened. Together, they account for some $470,000 of debt owed to the bank. But the rest of the debt is mostly the unpaid bills of a town that was not keeping up with its expenses. It owes for medical supplies, for diesel fuel, for road repair, for electrical work, for musicians who played during holidays.Higuera de la Serena is not completely without workers. It still has a half-time librarian, two half-time street cleaners, someone part-time for the sports complex, a secretary and an administrator, all of whom are paid through various financing streams apart from the town. But the town once had a work force twice the size. And when someone is ill, volunteers have to step in or the gym and sports complex open four hours a day must close.Section2: Chinese-English Translation (漢譯英)(50 points)年來，中國經(jīng)濟(jì)持續(xù)快速發(fā)展，經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)力、綜合國力、人民生活水平邁上新的臺階，國家面貌發(fā)生舉世矚目的歷史性變化，為促進(jìn)亞洲和世界經(jīng)濟(jì)增長作出了重要貢獻(xiàn)。中國雖然取得了舉世矚目的發(fā)展成就，但仍然是世界上最大的發(fā)展中國家，經(jīng)濟(jì)社會發(fā)展面臨巨大的人口、資源、環(huán)境壓力，發(fā)展中不平衡、不協(xié)調(diào)、不可持續(xù)問題依然突出。2011年，中國開始實(shí)施國民經(jīng)濟(jì)和社會發(fā)展第十二個五年規(guī)劃綱要，提出了今后年中國經(jīng)濟(jì)社會發(fā)展的總體任務(wù)。未來年，中國將著力實(shí)施擴(kuò)大內(nèi)需特別是消費(fèi)需求的戰(zhàn)略，建立長效機(jī)制，釋放消費(fèi)潛力，著力促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長向依靠消費(fèi)、投資、出口協(xié)調(diào)拉動轉(zhuǎn)變。中國將著力實(shí)施“走出去”戰(zhàn)略，引導(dǎo)各類所有制企業(yè)有序到境外投資，積極開展有利于改善當(dāng)?shù)鼗A(chǔ)設(shè)施和人民生活的項(xiàng)目合作。中國將著力參與全球經(jīng)濟(jì)治理和區(qū)域合作，推動國際經(jīng)濟(jì)金融體系改革，推動建立均衡、普惠、共贏的多邊貿(mào)易體制，反對各種形式的保護(hù)主義，促進(jìn)國際經(jīng)濟(jì)秩序朝著更加公正合理的方向發(fā)展。Section 1：英譯漢（50 分）曼紐爾加西亞穆里洛是一名磚匠出身，去年六月，他接任了這座城市的鎮(zhèn)長一職，但是他很快意識到他的城市正陷入危機(jī)。財政赤字達(dá)800,000歐元，比100萬美元還要多上一點(diǎn)。政府沒有現(xiàn)金來支付任何費(fèi)用，而擺在面前的卻是一堆沒有完成的爛攤子。 他說，接下來居然發(fā)生一件讓人意想不到的事情。那時由于沒有一個像樣兒的廚房，衛(wèi)生部正準(zhǔn)備關(guān)閉托兒所，一名叫做伯納多貝尼特斯的建筑工人提出為其免費(fèi)修筑墻壁并貼上瓷磚。一名叫做瑪麗亞何塞卡莫納的成人教師也站了出來，要幫助打掃托兒所。不知怎么地，志愿者們一個個接踵而至?，F(xiàn)在，每逢周日，這座西班牙西南部小鎮(zhèn)的居民們，無論老少，都來幫助完成鎮(zhèn)里那些需要被完成的事宜，有人清掃大街，有人清理落葉，有人疏通水道，還有人在公園里植樹。 加西亞說道：“他們都是自愿的，我們?nèi)諒?fù)一日地和人民進(jìn)行交談，并告訴他們鎮(zhèn)里還沒有錢，當(dāng)然，他們能看得出來，因?yàn)槿诵械纼蓚?cè)的草都長到我大腿那么高了?！睆暮芏喾矫鎭砜?，希格拉德拉塞麗娜鎮(zhèn)都像是西班牙危機(jī)的一個縮影。由于很多耗資巨大的工程超支，并欠下大量欠款，很多小鎮(zhèn)都面臨和西班牙國家和地區(qū)政府同樣的問題：他們正在為建筑業(yè)的衰敗而犯愁。但是由于當(dāng)?shù)氐木用裨谡С植蛔〉臅r候挺身而出，希格拉德拉塞麗娜鎮(zhèn)在西班牙聲名大增。加西亞說，經(jīng)常有其他鎮(zhèn)子的官員打來電話向自己討教是怎么做到這些的。加西亞沒有薪水可領(lǐng)，其他兩個選舉出來的官員也是一樣。他們甚至放棄了工作中配備的公車和電話。加西亞說：“我們?nèi)氩环蟪?，在公共事業(yè)上的投資并不理智，技術(shù)也十分欠缺。歐盟的借款本應(yīng)用于正常政府運(yùn)作，并維持到2013年，可是即使這些錢都已經(jīng)花光了?！毕８窭吕惸孺?zhèn)有大約九百戶民宅，周圍是耕地，一直以來，小鎮(zhèn)靠養(yǎng)豬以及種植橄欖維生。在建筑熱潮風(fēng)靡的日子里，小鎮(zhèn)也受到了熱潮的席卷。鎮(zhèn)上建立了一個文化中心，投資了一家小型療養(yǎng)院。但是這些項(xiàng)目卻面臨擱置以及成本超支的困境。文化中心還沒有洗手間。粉刷成白色的療養(yǎng)院坐落于小鎮(zhèn)的邊緣，至今還沒有開放。這兩個項(xiàng)目加起來共拖欠了銀行470，000美元。其他的債務(wù)主要是小鎮(zhèn)入不敷出造成的，這些開支包括醫(yī)療供應(yīng)、燃油、公路維護(hù)、電力供應(yīng)以及那些在節(jié)假日表演的音樂家們。希格拉德拉塞麗娜鎮(zhèn)并不是一名工人也沒有。它有一名半工半薪的圖書管理員，兩名半工半薪的道路清潔工，一名在體育中心兼職的工作人員，一名秘書和一名管理員。他們的薪水都來自小鎮(zhèn)外的其他渠道。但在此之前，鎮(zhèn)子里的工人數(shù)量是現(xiàn)在的兩倍。體育中心每天開放四個小時，現(xiàn)在只要工作人員生病，志愿者們就必須接手體育中心的工作，否則體育中心必須關(guān)閉。Section 2：漢譯英（50 分）In the past ten years, Chinas economy has enjoyed rapid and sustained growth. Chinas economic strength, comprehensive national strength and living standards have all reached a new high. China has undergone historic changes and made important contribution to economic growth in Asia and beyond.China has made remarkable achievements in development, but it remains the largest developing country in the world. Population, resources and the environment have put great pressure on our economic and social development, and there is lack of adequate balance, coordination or sustainability in our development.In the next five years, China will make great efforts to implement the strategy of boosting domestic demand, especially consumer demand, and put in place an effective mechanism to unleash consumption potential. We will ensure that consumption, investment and export contribute to economic growth in a coordinated way.In the next five yea
