口译笔译实战练习：长难句翻译
1. The overall result has been to make entrance to professional
geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced
by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals
in the 19th century and then by several local geological journals in the
20th century.
这样一来最终的结果便是业余爱好者想在专业地质学期刊上发表 文章就更
难了，广泛使用的论文评审推荐制度又进一步强化了这一结果。评审推荐制度最
早被使 用于在19世纪的国家级刊物上，后又在20世纪被几家地方级地质学刊物
所采用。
2. A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional
geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies,
whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or
to come together nationally in a different way.
一个颇为类似的分化过程让全国的 专业地质学家走到一起，组成了一两个专
业学术社团，另一方面，业余地质爱好者们倾向于要么仍留在地 方社团，要么以
其他方式组成全国性机构。
3. Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-level
findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined
with lots of head- scratching puzzlement about what in the world those
readers really want.

遗憾地讲，这次新 闻机构可信度调查只得到了一些含金量低的发现，比如新
闻报道中的事实错误，拼写或语法错误。调查结 果中还交织着一些令人搔首顿足
的问题，譬如读者到底想读些什么。
4. I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&M
wave are the same that underlie the globalization process: falling
transportation and communication costs, lower trade and investment
barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable
of meeting customers' demands.

程：即降低交通运输成本，逐渐减少贸易投资壁垒，以及 大幅度拓展市场，这些
都要求更大的经营管理规模，以满足消费者需求。
5. A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional
progress promoted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although,
in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by
claiming
一次侧面攻击伤害了我的自尊， 阻碍了我事业的发展，这个攻击并不光明磊

蒙受屈辱的政府部长的姿态，宣称我只不过是想多和家人呆在一起，掩盖我
的 退出。
6. I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her much-publicized
resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress, that
abandoning the doctrine of
alternative move into

回报远远大于赚大钱和社会地位。我也意识到了这一点。

7. While in America the trend started as a reaction to the economic
decline -- after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late
'80s - and is still linked to the politics of thrift, in Britain, at least
among the middle- class down shifters of my acquaintance, we have different
reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.
在美国，这一返朴趋势是因经济的衰落而开始的——那是在八十年代末期裁
员而 引起大量的失业之后一一这种趋势还和提倡节俭的政纲相关;而在英国，最
起码在我所熟识的中产阶级返 朴归隐者中，追求简约生活的原因就多种多样了。
8. For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling
through the '90s, down-shifting in the mid' 90s is not so much a search
for the mythical good lift-growing your own organic vegetables, and
risking turning into one -- as a personal recognition of your limitations.
对于我这一代曾在整个九十年 代为生活奔波的女人来说，90年代中期出现的
归隐恬退与其说是寻求一种神话般的美好生活——用有机 肥种植蔬菜，并且冒着
放弃一切的风险——不如说是我们清醒地认识到了自己能力有限。
9. If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will
be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common
to all of you and it'll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark
about the inedible canteen food or the chairman' s notorious bad taste
in ties.

带 品位也并非不合适。
10. There are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of
brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy -- far greater
precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands
alone.

这要比极具技巧的医生单单靠双手做手 术精确得多。

the way to go since well-developed skills, all other factors being equal,

2. Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry
technique to clone humans, he ordered that federal funds not be used for

for a national policy on human cloning.
他宣 布自己反对使用这种非同寻常的畜牧繁殖技术来克隆人类，并下令联邦
政府基金不得被用于此类试验—— 尽管还没有人要求这么做——他还请一个以
普林斯顿大学校长哈罗得·夏皮罗为首的独立的专家组在90 天内向白宫汇报关

desirable to the scientist as the writing of his papers would appear to
reflect, is management to be blamed for discriminating against the
ballsamong researchers in favor of more conventional thinkers who
well with the team.

and number of offspring--means that natural selection has lost 80% of its

to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and
unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years
to come they may be regarded as normal.

that, unlike the rises in the 70s, it has not occurred against the
background of general commodity- price inflation and global excess demand.

physician- assisted suicide, the Court in effect supported the medical
principle of effecta centuries-old moral principle holding that
an action having two effects -- a good one that is intended and a harmful
one that is foreseen -- is permissible if the actor intends only the good
effect.

culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made narrative structure for
otherwise confusing new.
