翻译二级笔译实务模拟53Section English-Chinese TranslationTranslate the following two passages into Chinese.1.（江南博哥） Japan owes a lot to China. Chinese demand for Japanese goods has helped Japans economy recover, while competition has pressured executives to start restructuring Japans companies and banks. Japan is an example of how China is offering two benefits to the global economy. One is the way in which China is acting as an economic engine, buying up ever-increasing amounts of goods and natural resources. The other is the flow of inexpensive Chinese goods that drag down consumer prices across the world. There are downsides, like the decline of manufacturing industries from Detroit and Perth. Folks in developed economies losing jobs or taking pay cuts would hardly agree that Chinas rising influence is a good thing. But at the moment, Chinas 9.5 percent growth rate is proving more of a blessing than a bane for countries like Japan. Quietly, at the start of this decade, Japanese companies began shifting production abroad, cutting costs, selling off extraneous businesses and paying down debt. The government also stepped up efforts to attract more foreign direct investment, something Japan had little use for in the past. Taken together, these actions largely prompted by Chinas advance, have led to the most organic and convincing recovery Japan has seen in years. While Japan has much further to got to make its economy more globally competitive, it is worth noting how far it has come from the dark days of the late 1990s. There are many benefits inherent in Chinas advance. One of them was spelled out by Anatole Kaletsky, an editor and economic columnist at The Times of London. He wrote on August 18 that Chinas rise is making the richest nations even richer. Along with pushing down global prices of mass-produced goods, Chinas influence may actually be pushing up the prices of products and services China does not or cannot make. That can be seen in the prices of things that China consumes oil, financial services, luxury goods and real estate. Kaletsky said that as prices of luxury goods and financial services are driven higher, prosperous countries with service industries become wealthier, compared with manufacturing countries. 正确答案：日本从中国得到的好处是很大的。中国需要日本的商品，这就有助于日本经济的恢复，而竞争又迫使主管人员着手对日本的公司和银行进行结构性改革。 以日本为例，可以说明中国怎样为全球的经济带来两大好处。一方面，中国买进越来越多的商品和自然资源，起着拉动经济的火车头作用。另一方面，中国不断出口便宜的商品，使全世界的消费品价格下降。 不足之处也是有的，比如从底特律到珀斯的制造业日渐衰落。在发达国家，有人丢了工作，有人减了工资，他们大概不会觉得中国的影响日益增长是什么好事。 不过，眼下中国百分之9.5%的增长率对日本这样的国家来说，与其说它是祸，不如说它是福。 本世纪一开始，日本的公司就悄悄地着手把生产转移到国外，降低成本，把没有直接联系的工商企业卖掉，偿还债务。政府还加紧吸引更多的外国直接投资，而这是日本过去不怎么加以利用的。 这些举措大都是中国的进步所诱发的，其综合效果就是日本得到了多年不曾有过的最有组织的、最明显的恢复。虽然日本要使自己的经济更有全球竞争力，还有很长的路要走，但是它摆脱二十世纪末的黑暗时期，取得了多大的进展，也是不容忽视的。 中国的进步必然带来许多好处。其中有一条，伦敦泰晤士报编辑兼经济专栏作家阿纳托尔•卡莱茨基作了阐述。8月18日他写道，中国的兴起正使得富国更富了。 中国的影响一方面压低了大规模生产的商品的全球价格，一方面可能实际上也抬高了中国不提供或无法提供的产品和服务的价格。看一下中国消费品的价格，就一目了然了间比如石油、金融服务、奢侈品和房地产。 卡莱茨基指出，由于奢侈品和金融服务的价格上升，服务业发达的国家比制造业国家获益更大。2. Dont have time to read anymore? Now you can get free, quick literature via email. More than 100,000 people open their email each day to read a chapter of a book, through Chapter-A-Day, an online book club created two years ago. Its a free email service that provides a short daily reading for busy people, exposing them to literature they may not find on their own, inspiring some to recommit to the reading habit. About 550 public library systems representing over 3,000 branch libraries already have signed up to offer Chapter-A-Day. Via email, participants get about five minutes worth of reading every day. After three chapters are emailed, the installments stop, and those who want to keep reading can borrow the book at their public library or purchase it online. Chapter-A-Day has eight free book clubs, and sells thousands of books each month. Chapter-A-Day started in 1999 when Suzanne Beecher, a lifelong book lover, realized how many of the women who worked part-time for her software development company didnt have time in their busy lives to read. She decided to type part of a chapter of a book, and send it to her employees through email. The next day she typed a little more, and continued to send literary installments each day. She says she started getting feedback from the staff about how reading made them feel. They were interested, and realized that, though they didnt have time in their busy lives for reading, just reading that little bit each day got them back in the habit. Realizing that many other people could benefit, she decided to take the idea even further and start an email Chapter-A-Day book club to help others ease their way back into daily reading. Reading makes changes in people s lives. Beecher says. Pat Dempsey, a librarian at a public library in Ohio, has found Chapter-A-Day helps her library clients get back in the habit of reading. Its a different way to get people hoo
