2005年研究生入學(xué)考試英語(yǔ)翻譯和作文試題及答案

　　一、翻譯部分：

　　46. Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed-and perhaps never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe.

　　在加強(qiáng)不同的民族和國(guó)家之間的聯(lián)系方面，電視也許還從來(lái)沒(méi)有像在最近的歐洲事件中那樣起過(guò)如此大的作用。

　　47. In Europe ，as elsewhere， multi-media groups have been increasingly successful； groups which bring together television， radio， newspapers， magazines and publishing house that work in relation to one another.

　　在歐洲就像在其他地方一樣多媒體集團(tuán)越來(lái)越成功了，這些集團(tuán)把相互關(guān)系密切的電視臺(tái)、電臺(tái)、報(bào)紙、雜志、出版社組合到了一起。

　　48. This alone demonstrates that the television business is not an easy world to survive in， a fact underlined by statistics that show that out of eighty European television networks， no less than 50% took a loss in 1989.

　　僅這一點(diǎn)就表明在電視行業(yè)里生存不那么容易，這個(gè)事實(shí)通過(guò)統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字也是一目了然，統(tǒng)計(jì)表明在80家歐洲電視網(wǎng)中1989年出現(xiàn)虧損的不下50%.

　　49.創(chuàng)造一個(gè)將要組成舊大洲聯(lián)系纖維并且尊重不同文化和傳統(tǒng)的統(tǒng)一體不是一項(xiàng)容易的任務(wù)，需要策略性的選擇。

　　50. In dealing with a challenge on such a scale， it is no exaggeration to say， “United we stand， divided we fall”。

　　在應(yīng)付一個(gè)如此規(guī)模的挑戰(zhàn)過(guò)程中，我們可以毫不夸張地說(shuō)，團(tuán)結(jié)，我們就會(huì)站起來(lái)；分裂，我們就會(huì)倒下去。

　　二、作文部分

　　小作文范文：

　　Dear Mr. Wang，

　　I am writing to inform you about my decision to resign from my current position. There are a few factors involved that I find intolerable.

　　First of all， the salary has proven to be much lower than you originally promised， and I have a large family to support. In addition， the office is located in the downtown area， yet I live in the suburbs， so it is exhausting for me to spend over three hours commuting every day. Most importantly， I feel rather disappointed and left out on the job itself as in the past two months I was never given any really important responsibility.

　　I sincerely hope that you approve of my resignation. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.

　　Yours sincerely，

　　Li Ming

　　大作文范文：

　　The cartoon symbolically depicts how three sons and a daughter treat their old， helpless father. They each stand in a different corner of a football field. The eldest son kicks out the father， who huddles up into a ball. The other children are prepared to ward him off. It is sad to see none of them is willing to receive their father.

　　The picture is thought-provoking， and what it illustrates is a common phenomenon in today‘s society： many grown-up children refuse to support their aging parents. While they enjoy a comfortable life， their parents are neglected and reduced to utter poverty， as these elderly people have grown so physically weak that they no longer have the means to support themselves. I think these children have betrayed their own conscience and therefore may subject themselves to social contempt and criticism.

　　According to Chinese culture， to be kind to one‘s parents is the height of virtue. We owe so much to our parents in that they not only gave us life but have done much in bringing us up. It is against nature for us to shirk the responsibility of taking care of our parents when they are old. Rather， we have the duty to pay back their love by making their later years enjoyable and happy.
