Passage2还有近年来频发的自然灾害让全球深受其害。炎热的酷暑、狂暴的飓风、刺骨的严寒以及滔天的洪水近乎成了“常客”，风调雨顺已被视为“奢侈品”。世界各地的气象学家对此众说纷纭。有的说是全球变暖所致，有的说是大气环流异常，的认为厄尔尼诺是罪魁祸首。还有尽管如此，大多数学者都认同这样一个观点：全球气候变化速度正在加剧，极端灾害天气今后无疑将更加频繁，并且其强度和范围都将走强。面对日益脆弱的全球气候，人类需要更认真地思考，如何切实有效地规范自身活动，珍爱我们共同的家园。未来极端危害天气将对相关的行业，如水利、农业、林业、能源、健康和旅游业等有更大影响。同时，上述因素也为全球经济复苏带来更多变数。参考译文英译汉第一篇并且他们也影响了毛利文化。在亚洲文化和其他欧洲国家文化也对新西兰产生了乡村音乐、摇滚乐和嘻哈音乐的影响，而这些音乐毛利人从他们古代的东南亚起源中发展出了他而又并且他们也影响了毛利文化。在亚洲文化和其他欧洲国家文化也对新西兰产生了乡村音乐、摇滚乐和嘻哈音乐的影响，而这些音乐毛利人从他们古代的东南亚起源中发展出了他而又们传统的吟唱和歌谣，在几个世纪的与世隔绝之后，他们造就出了一种独特的“单调”“悲伤”的曲调。新西兰影片的数量在上世纪70年代飙升。在1978年，新西兰电影委员会开始扶持本土电影工作者，并且许多新西兰电影在全球范围都赢得了观众，一些电影甚至得到了国际认可。新西兰电视主要播放美国和英国的节目，以及许多澳大利亚和本土的电视节目。该国多样的风景、小而美的国土加之政府的鼓励措施已促使许多电影制作者到新西兰拍摄大投资电影。文化遗产部是政府文化事务的首要顾问。该部负责资助、监督、扶持各种文化机构，提供各种优质的文化产品和文化服务。英译汉第二篇译文：近日在诺德惠克，沿着一处宽阔而又崎岖的北海沙滩，孩子们 8人到10人组成队伍，并在用隔离带精心围起的沙堆旁各就各位。他们有一个小时来完成用沙子堆沙堡的比赛。有些孩子堆出了像鱼一样的结构体，还带有鱼鳞。还有的孩子精心堆造复杂的沟渠和堤坝迷宫。每个沙堡在顶部都装饰有一面白旗。看看到底谁的沙堡能在浪潮侵袭中撑的最然后，他们看着海水侵袭并吞噬他们的沙堡作品，久。沙堡上的旗子竖立到最后的队伍获胜。

看看到底谁的沙堡能在浪潮侵袭中撑的最孩子们在沙滩上度过的这一天极不平凡，这天是国家批准的新设立的小学生沙堡比赛日，该比赛只在提高荷兰人对海平面不断上升所带来的危险的意识。处于危险地理位置的荷兰为世界各国提供了防洪管理的经验，但它同时也担心下一代国民会变得自满。荷兰境内55%的土地，要么低于海平面，要么极容易发生洪灾。不过，得益于荷兰人闻名遐迩的治水经验和巨额的防洪管理预算（约占国内生产总值的 1.25%），荷兰自1953年洪灾后再也没有遭受过洪灾。这里的专家说，他们如今担心闻名遐迩的荷兰防洪管理体系实真是太过出色，以至于民众开始想当然地认为荷兰不会被海水淹没。由于到本世纪末全球气候变化有可能致使海平面上升高达四英尺，诺德惠克当局正是要让孩子们切身感受下这些看似很遥远却能决定他们成年和老年生活的预测。”哈夫肯“一切都运转良好以至于人们不再有这样的意识：在低洼地区建设城区是在冒险，什德说道。他是这个比赛的主要组织者，也是外交部的水利专家。”哈夫肯汉译英第一篇译文：increasedthenationOverthepast30yearsormore,throughreformandopeningup,Tibethasbeenproactivelypromotingcommerce,foreigntradeandtourism.IthasexchangeswithotherpartsofChinaaswellascommunicationandcooperationwithforeigncountries.increasedthenationIn1993Tibetbegantodevelopthesocialistmarketeconomywiththerestofthecountry,growingintoanewsystemwithinthesameframework.Reformshavebeencarriedoutinthepricingandcirculationofgoodsandmaterials,grains,andconsumergoods,allofwhichhaveenteredthemarketsystem.CurrentlyTibetisincorporatedintothenationalmarketsystem.CommoditiesfromalloverandacrosstheworldkeepflowingintoTibet,enrichingtheurbanandruralmarketsaswellasthelivesofthepeople.Atthesametime,well-knownandhigh-qualityproductswithlocalcharacteristicsandfolkhandcraftsaretransportedtootherpartsofthecountryinlargequantities.Economically,Tibetisnowmoreandmorecloselylinkedtotheworld.In2012thetotalvolumeofitsforeigntradereached3.424billionU.S.dollars,morethan850timesthatof1953,whichstoodat4millionU.S.dollars,withanannualgrowthrateof12.1percent.Bytheendof2012actualizedforeigninvestmentinTibetwas470millionU.S.dollars.Takingadvantageofitsgeographicalposition,Tibetisbuildinga“commoditypassageway”toSouthAsiaviathelandroutetopromotebordertrade.汉译英第二篇译文一：Recentyearshaveseenahigherfrequencyofnaturaldisast
