永利集團3044歡迎光臨第四屆翻譯大賽試題
1. 英譯漢 （所有參賽者完成）
The Obama administration's new effort to reduce carbon emissions from power plants is pragmatic, smart and overdue. Nevertheless, the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rule is already coming under attack from those who argue that it is economic suicide to force expensive and unilateral changes in the power grid just to lower carbon emissions in the United States. Those critics would have U.S. utilities do nothing about global warming simply because their counterparts in other countries aren't doing enough. That reasoning is perverse and unpersuasive.
The cost of dealing with the worst effects of climate change will far outweigh the cost of preventing them. Federal law compels the EPA to reduce harmful air pollutants, and carbon dioxide from power plants is the largest contributor by far to changes in the climate that could be ruinous to the planet. But the agency isn't seeking to cap the amount of CO2 coming out of smokestacks, as it has done with toxins such as mercury. Instead, it has proposed a unique emissions target for each state based on what the EPA believes local utilities can achieve. Exactly how the target would be met would be up to each state, but the pressure would be on utilities to shift away from the coal-fired plants that are the biggest carbon polluters.
Those plants produced 45% of U.S. electricity in 2010, or 5 percentage points less than they did at their peak in 2005, while coal use has grown rapidly around the world. Yet the United States still ranks as the second-largest carbon emitter. Even if lower emissions from U.S. plants aren't sufficient to stop global warming, they are a necessary part of the solution. And no one should expect the likes of China and India to do more to curb their plants' emissions if the U.S. isn't willing to act.
Some environmental groups, in fact, are disturbed that the EPA didn't propose larger cuts. Instead, the agency wisely based the targets on available methods for reducing emissions, which made the proposed rule less ambitious but more reasonable. Taking a cue from California, which is well on its way to meeting the agency's proposed target, the agency also let states look beyond their utilities' smokestacks for ways to reduce emissions. These include cap-and-trade systems for C02 and energy efficiency standards for buildings and appliances.
The EPA's expansive approach is certain to be tested in court by those upset about the prospect of more expensive electricity. Reducing emissions doesn't necessarily mean forcing consumers to spend more on energy, however. Just look at California, where efficiency standards have held monthly electric bills almost 25% below the national average even though electricity rates are among the highest in the country.
Besides, the country can't afford to ignore the problem posed by coal-fired plants. Global warming threatens to be an environmental catastrophe, and the U.S. must prevent as much of the damage as it can. As multiple recent studies have concluded, the cost of dealing with the worst effects of climate change will far outweigh the cost of preventing them.
2. 民俗文化類漢譯英（專業組學生完成）
紫陽蒸盆子，是陜西安康第一批列入非物質文化遺產的代表作。紫陽蒸盆子，最早發源于紫陽縣漢王鎮，先是漢江艄工歇腳歡聚時的薈菜，后來發展為除夕團圓飯上的壓軸菜。蒸盆子在紫陽是貴重菜，平時很少吃，只是年三十晚上的團圓飯非吃不可，作為壓席大菜，歡慶舊的一年豐收，預祝新的一年美滿，全家幸福，四季發財。
殷實人家招待貴賓、操辦紅白喜事，宴席上才有這道菜。至親厚友外出日久，歸來接風，或出遠門壯行，也做這道菜。蒸盆子體現了主人的一片盛意和厚道，盆大、雞全、豬蹄厚重、蛋餃香、蔬菜多、湯汁鮮美、醇厚。一只銅鍋中雞肉之鮮，豬蹄之嫩滑，還有紅白蘿卜的香脆之甜，在可愛的蛋餃點綴之中散發出的是特有的陜南經典味道，萬種滋味匯于一盆。
紫陽蒸盆子制作頗為講究，主要用具為當地產大烏盆，必須用土灶、竹柴火，原料須有全雞（土雞）、豬蹄、蓮菜、紅白蘿卜、黃花、木耳、香菇、雞蛋餃子、水發墨魚及其它干菜，調料油有大茴、草果、桂皮、花椒、干辣椒、食鹽等，用盆具盛之，用大鍋隔火而蒸，原料和調料分步入盆，時間最少不能低于4小時。蛋餃子是將雞蛋打入碗中，用筷子攪勻，然后用大鐵湯勺，在爐灶上面燒燙，抹上豬油，在用調羹舀如雞蛋，做成餃子皮，半熟之際，包入準備好的新鮮肉餡。蛋餃可做成“元寶”型、寓意“四季發財”。“金魚”型，寓意“連年有余”。這道菜原汁原味，湯醇肉香，色香味俱佳。
紫陽蒸盆子，用料之糜費，時間之冗長，程序之繁瑣，做工之講究，稍有差遲則口味大逮，非一般地域所能為，它當之不愧地成為最具特色的紫陽傳統大菜。
3.勵志類漢譯英（非專業組學生完成）
人生的每一次選擇都只有一次機會，所以選擇的同時也就意味著放棄，選擇熊掌就要放棄鮮魚，選擇繁華就要放棄幽靜，選擇充實就要放棄悠閑。選擇和放棄就像同胞兄弟一樣如影隨形。選擇是人生路上的航灣；放棄是人生的隧道，舍得放棄是顧全大局，超然灑脫，只有簡單從容的放棄才能左右逢源。
人生短暫，與潔瀚的歷史長河相比，世間一切恩恩怨怨、功名利祿皆為短暫的一瞬，“福兮禍所伏，禍兮福所倚”。得意與失意，在人的一生中只是短短的一瞬。行至水窮處，坐看云起時，古今多少事，都付談笑中。放棄是一種睿智，它可以放飛心靈，可以還原本性，使你真實地享受人生；放棄是一種選擇，沒有明智的放棄就沒有輝煌的選擇。進退從容、積極樂觀，必然會迎來光輝的未來。
能夠放棄是一種跨越，睿智的人都懂得該放棄時就放棄。不吐故就無法納新。而看似艱難的取舍，卻可以讓我們走出人生的迷途，可以改變我們的命運。當你能夠放棄一切，做到簡單從容的時候，你的生命低谷就已經過去了。懂得選擇，學會放擇，你會避免走很多彎路，避開很多荊棘，從而走向更加廣闊的人生境界！
