2018年成人英語(yǔ)三級(jí)考試《英漢翻譯》練習(xí)(2)

1.You are permitted to try to attract attention, but there are rules about how to do this. Do not call out, tap coins on the counter, snap your finger or wave like a drowning swimmer. Do not scowl or sigh or roll your eyes.

2.And whatever you do, do not ring the bell hanging behind the counter-this is used by the landlord to signal closing time.

3.The key thing is to catch the bar worker's eyes. You could also hold an empty glass or some money, but do not wave them about. Do adopt an expectant, hopeful, even slightly anxious facial expression.

4.If you look too contented and complacent, the bar staff may assume you are already being served.

5.Are these events connected? Looking only at individual extreme events will not reveal their cause, just like watching a few scenes from a movie does not reveal the plot. But, viewed in a broader context, and using the logic of physics, important parts of the plot can be understood.

6.For fermentation to take place you need raw material, or feedstock, as it is known in the biofuels industry. Anything will do as long as it can be broken down into sugars, with the byproduct ideally burnt to produce electricity to run the plant.

參考答案：

1.譯文：你可以設(shè)法引起酒保的注意，但這是有規(guī)可循的。不能大聲嚷嚷、用錢幣敲打吧臺(tái)、叭叭地彈手指或者像快溺水的人那樣揮動(dòng)手臂，也不要繃著臉、唉聲嘆氣或翻白眼。

2.譯文：還有一件事千萬(wàn)得注意，不要搖晃掛在吧臺(tái)后面的鈴，那是酒吧老板用的，表示打烊的時(shí)間到了。

3.譯文：關(guān)鍵是要引起酒保的注意。你可以舉著空杯子或錢，但不要來(lái)回?fù)u晃。臉上要流露出期待、滿懷希望甚至略帶焦急的表情。

4.譯文：你如果顯得太心滿意足的樣子，酒保會(huì)誤以為已經(jīng)為你提供服務(wù)了。

5.這些事件彼此關(guān)聯(lián)嗎?僅僅把注意力放在個(gè)別極端天氣事件上是不能揭示其成因的，這就跟觀看一部電影中的幾個(gè)場(chǎng)面不能展現(xiàn)出其整個(gè)故事情節(jié)是同樣的道理。只有放在更宏觀的情境中，并使用物理學(xué)的邏輯去觀察，情節(jié)中的重要部分才能夠明了。

6.要想實(shí)現(xiàn)發(fā)酵，就需要原材料，即生物燃料行業(yè)所說(shuō)的“給料”。任何東西只要能分解為糖都可以利用。理想的做法是，用其副產(chǎn)品燃燒發(fā)電可維持工廠自身的運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。
