2010 年 5 月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译实务真题 Section 1：英译汉（英译汉（50 分） LECCO, Italy — Each morning, about 450 students travel along 17 school bus routes to 10 elementary schools in this lakeside city at the southern tip of Lake Como. There are zero school buses. In 2003, to confront the triple threats of childhood obesity, local traffic jams and — most important — a rise in global greenhouse gases abetted by car emissions, an environmental group here proposed a retro-radical concept: children should walk to school. They set up a piedibus (literally foot-bus in Italian) — a bus route with a driver but no vehicle. Each morning a mix of paid staff members and parental volunteers in fluorescent yellow vests lead lines of walking students along Lecco’s twisting streets to the schools? gates, Pied Piper-style, stopping here and there as their flock expands. At the Carducci School, 100 children, or more than half of the students, now take walking buses. Many of them were previously driven in cars. Giulio Greppi, a 9-year-old with shaggy blond hair, said he had been driven about a third of a mile each way until he started taking the piedibus. “I get to see my friends and we feel special because we know it? s good for the environment,” he said. Although the routes are each generally less than a mile, the town? s piedibuses have so far eliminated more than 100,000 miles of car travel and, in principle, prevented thousands of tons of greenhouse gases from entering the air, Dario Pesenti, the town? s environment auditor, estimates. The number of children who are driven to school over all is rising in the United States and Europe, experts on both continents say, making up a sizable chunk of transportation? s contribution to greenhouse-gas emissions. The “school run” made up 18 percent of car trips by urban residents of Britain last year, a national survey showed. In 1969, 40 percent of students in the United States walked to school; in 2001, the most recent year data was collected, 13 percent did, according to the federal government? s National Household Travel Survey. Lecco’s walking bus was the first in Italy, but hundreds have cropped up elsewhere in Europe and, more recently, in North America to combat the trend. Towns in France, Britain and elsewhere in Italy have created such routes, although few are as extensive and long-lasting as Lecco’s. Section 2：英译汉（汉译英（50 分） 全球气候变化深刻影响着人类生存和发展，是各国共同面临的重大挑战。 气候变化是人类发展进程中出现的问题，既受自然因素影响，也受人类活动影响，既是环 境问题，更是发展问题，同各国发展阶段、生活方式、人口规模、资源禀赋以及国际产业 分工等因素密切相关。归根到底，应对气候变化问题应该也只能在发展过程中推进，应该 也只能靠共同发展来解决。 中国已经制定和实施了《应对气候变化国家方案》，明确提出 2005 年到 2010 年降低单位 国内生产总值能耗和主要污染物排放、提高森林覆盖率和可再生能源比重等有约束力的国 家指标。 今后，中国将进一步把应对气候变化纳入经济社会发展规划，并继续采取强有力的措施。 一是加强节能、提高能效工作，争取到 2020 年单位国内生产总值二氧化碳排放比 2005 年 有显著下降。二是大力发展可再生能源和核能，争取到 2020 年非化石能源占一次能源消费 比重达到 15％左右。三是大力增加森林碳汇，争取到 2020 年森林面积比 2005 年增加 4000 万公顷，森林蓄积量比 2005 年增加 13 亿立方米。四是大力发展绿色经济，积极发展低碳 经济和循环经济，研发和推广气候友好技术。
